Deadblood (Absolute Undisputed Champion)
I think you're gonna like this next part. It sounded like some squirrel getting his nuts squeezed.
Despite the dizziness, headache, nausea and overall exhaustion that Deadblood was currently feeling, he could still hear every word that was coming out of Sheri's mouth. The job in Colombia that seemed to go wrong almost from the start. He would never be able to forget that day even if he tried, including the way she'd reacted after all of the cartel soldiers in the hotel room were taken out by an unseen force.
He watched seemingly helplessly as Sheri held his katana over him, her intentions quite clear to him. His eyes widened as she began to bring the katana down, barely managing to roll out of the way at the last second, the katana striking the carpeted step with a dull thud!!!
"You can't squirm your way out this time!"
Before Sheri could take another stab at him, Deadblood suddenly kicked her legs out from under her, sending her tumbling down the steps, katana still in hand!!!!!
"No . . . but I can kick my way out . . ."
Slowly climbing to his feet, grabbing the railing of the stairwell for support, Deadblood simply stood there for a moment, trying to shake off the fatigue brought on by overusing Sheri's power. At least now he understood what exactly had happened. He wasn't sure if that would apply to any other powers he acquired in the future, but at least he would know to be cautious.
He didn't have time to worry about that at the moment though. Sheri was still somewhere down the stairs, out of his sight, and unless the fall killed her, which he highly doubted, there was no telling what she had waiting for him when he did find her.
Cautiously, Deadblood made his way down the stairs to the next landing, where he thought Sheri would be, but she wasn't. He continued down slowly, still a bit fatigued, but starting to feel better. At the very bottom of the stairwell though, he had to drop to the floor as his katana came flying through the air like a bullet at him, stabbing into the plaster of the wall behind him instead of his body!!!!!!! On the ground, he had memories of the first time he was stabbed, so long ago, before he'd joined the company.
Before Deadblood could climb back to his feet, he watched as Sheri moved towards a door, a sign marked 'BASEMENT' on it. She tried to open it only to find that it was locked, but focusing on the door, she quickly managed to force the lock! Taking one more look at him, she then disappeared inside, knowing he would follow her.
Getting to his feet, Deadblood pulled his katana free from the wall before entering the basement area too, not knowing what to expect next as he entered the dark cave of pipes and odd sounds.
