I need to get outta here now! Alisa ducked between the robot police’s legs.
“Click-vrrr… There is no escaping.”
Turning around, the robo-cop swiftly grabbed Alisa by the collar and lifted her up. For the mechanical arm, picking her up was as easy as lifting up a tiny kitten.
“Put me down, robo freak!” Alisa slashed wildly with her short sword.
“Resistance is futile. Such a small blade cannot damage my body.”
“In that case, take this!” Alisa thrust her sword into the robot’s eye, severing the camera in there. Fzz! Sparks came flying, as the robo-cop’s brain short circuit. (+1 CP)
Alisa was only just barely able to protect herself from the flying debris thanks to her leather shield.
“This way, Alisa!” said a voice.
Alisa was bounding between the buildings, from alley to alley.
“Aunt Suelo!”
“Shh!” The concealed woman put a finger across her mouth.
When the remaining robot police weren’t looking, they crossed the street.
“It’s all right now.”
This woman was Alisa’s only remaining family, her Aunt Suelo.
“You really should lay off this revenge business, it’s too dangerous! But who am I kidding, I know you’re not the type to listen to advice. Just remember to always come to me whenever you’re tired from battle, and I’ll cast healing magic on you. And please, my dear, don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”
“Thank you, Aunt Suelo. Don’t worry, I will stay alive. I have to, so that I can avenge my brother!”
Alisa gently squeezed her aunt’s hands before leaving.
