The Serpent Strikes
Vadoma gave the members of the Serpent Society instructions on what they were to do. They were being paid quite handsomely to do a small job. The job was to destroy a factory in the Boston area.

It was a simple plan. Get in and do as much damage as possible. Then get out before being captured.

	It was enough for Cottonmouth to get close. His jaws opened wide in a biting lunge at Kelly's arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ooohhh, biting! And on our first day out. Kinky." Kelly responds - swinging her fist, still holding her gun, right at the mouth coming at her - quite willing to trade getting her arm bitten in exchange for firing off a couple rounds at point blank at soft tissue instead of what she figured to be fairly protective scales.

	The bullets connected, causing Cottonmouth to shriek in pain. Fortunately his jaws were the most durable part of him, but it still hurt like hell. He had gotten close enough however to move down into a spin kick at Kelly's legs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kelly's attention was up high, and she hadn't seen a reason to expect him to be this much of a martial artist. She hits the ground, an ankle twisting oddly - before she kippups back up, using her gun handles as brass knuckles for a series of quick jabs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kelly got a few quick hits in, rocking Cottonmouth's head back, but his hardened jaw allowed him to recover quickly and start blocking and countering with a few punches of his own. He quickly dodges to the side and goes to grab Kelly hand in order t hold it still long enough for him to snap one of her guns in half. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He snaps her gun in two, and she quickly discards the remains, going for a survival knife from her belt instead as she rolls backwards. "You've got some moves, I'll give you that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He spits out the remains of the gun in his mouth going back into a combat stance. "I was killing towelheads in the Middle East long before I got these jaws," he said by way of explanation. "You heal pretty quick," Cottonmouth noted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kelly nods. "Army, Marines, SEAL or independent outfit? Certainly no shortage of fighting for a well placed merc. I haven't been there in a while, but I did some wetwork ops there not long ago." she replies, as casual as if this were over a beer instead of exchanging deadly attacks.

She feints a couple times with the knife, circling a bit, assessing the surroundings.

	"Private army for Roxxon," he replied, warily keeping an eye on the knife and on her feet movements. "Yeah, plenty of opportunities for work, but the heat gets old real fast." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-07-16 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Kelly raises a brow, then nods. "Pay is good. Way better than G.I. Joeing it up. But Roxxon has a bad history of backstabbing its employees. Or at least not sending extraction crews where they said they would." she replies, while tucking her second gun back into its holster, and going for a second knife, continuing to circle while she chats mercenary work.

	"Maybe, but they did right by me. Terrorists blew my freaking skull apart. They may have given me a snake-face, but Roxxon saved my life." He grabs a nearby pipe and suddenly bites the top of it off, turning it into a makeshift metal spear. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That must have done wonders for your dating life." she replies, lunging in a few times, once he's suitably armed to make this interesting. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His eyes narrowed at the comment. He parries with his makeshift spear before lunging forward in an attempt to impale Kelly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-07-19 01:31 pm UTC (link)
	She leaps when he lunges, flipping over him, turning about, trying to stab him in the back as she lands on the other side. "No technique, no finesse. Right to the violent thrusting. Your dating life can't have been that great before... so maybe the snake head didn't hurt anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He moves when he realizes she jumped over him, but he still caught her knife in the shoulder. Instead of moving away, he took advantage of her sudden closeness for a double attack, a lunge of his teeth at her arm and bringing thesharp end of the pipe at her leg. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-07-19 03:32 pm UTC (link)
	The pipe leaves a deep gash in her thigh. She's less worried about that than the teeth - focusing on getting her arm out of the way, and jabbing her knife at the jaw hinge when the mouth opens wide. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cottonmouth's sense of satisfaction is abruptly cut short when the knife goes into his mechanical jaw. He shrieks in pain as he tries to remove it. Trying to keep her back, he swings the pipe in an upward diagonal arc at Kelly's face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kelly ducks back enough to keep it from cutting anything critical, but the long cut mars her face and goes through one eye - gruesome looking, certainly.

"Agh! My face! My face!"

She grins, lunging towards the other side of the mechanical jaw with her other knife.

"I'd better go have someone cut off my head and put, I don't know, a rabid muskrat's head in its place. Then, man, I'd owe them big time."

	"I'll bite it off and save you some time," Cottonmouth snarled. It's a bit of a bluff, his jaw was still smarting from the dagger. He goes to grab her wrist while sending a leg to increase the pain in her leg. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	goesbothways 2013-07-19 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	As he goes for the grab, with a hand now free, she tries to turn it into a judo throw to launch him into the pillar he was chewing on. "Kinky. Bet you say that to all the girls. Right before they laugh at you and you sneak home to your garter snake porn." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ngserpentsoc 2013-07-19 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	Kelly's throw catches him completely off-guard, sending him reeling into the pillar with an audible smack. Cottonmouth's jaw may be superhuman, but the rest of him wasn't. He found himself groaning and trying to sand up despite his back crying out in protest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Kelly sees him struggling to get up, drawing her guns, now that the sport seems ended.

"I /should/ kill you. But I'm not going to. Because if I just blast up a couple parts of you, maybe Roxxon will play some more zoological darts in putting you back together, and next time we fight, you'll have frog's legs or cow tits or something, just cause. And I both want to see what they do, and if you're thanking them then." she says, as she opens fire with multiple bursts, doing her best to make sure she puts him down, without causing any lethal harm.

	Cottonmouth manages to flip Kelly off once before the barrage of bullets tear into the mercenary's non-vital areas, dropping him to the floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I knew I liked you." Kelly responds on seeing the gesture. When she confirms he's staying down, she goes off, guns in hand, skipping like she's moving down the yellow brick road - to find someone else who needs bulletholes. (Reply to this)(Parent)
