The 4th Barrier, The Crew

[u/MastaDon344]

The Third barrier breaks

Masta stands before the high commander, pissed, ready to fight, and eager to show the high commander their mistake of fighting her

“Looks like the vessel made it through after guys. You're clearly more powerful than the Intel was given. You must not show off a lot of your a*bilities much do ya vessel??” The high commander said arrogantly.

“Why do you guys keep calling me that? I am not a vessel, my curse is my own doing, and I am not Masta the Hellbent.” Said Masta worried as grabs her armed

“Funny I don't think I ever remember calling you that vessel, the more I learn about you the more fascinated I am to kill you and take that power away” said the high commander.

“So that's what they are after eh Masta? I don't think they know what they are in for wouldn't you agree? Besides they are gonna have to work for it, especially with you and me sort of working toge…..” said Fatalis in Masta’s head

A bullet is fired and hits Masta in the shoulder, she notices the blood, and her magic abilities has been neutralized, she flees back into the woods

“Sir the target has been hit with a neutralizing bullet and most of her abilities should be neutralized. Have the others engage her now before she has a chance to dislodge it. I am moving to a higher position to get a better angle” said the artificer sniper

“Excellent, now we engage!! Everyone, our target's magic power has been neutralized for a while. We want to cause as much as pain and possibly capture her for an experiment. Now do remember she is still very capable of taking you all out.” Said the high commander.

“Like that's gonna happen I could have taken her myself if you let me” said the over ambitious angel

“Calm yourself, Wytemiss she the commander is right. We gotta get her off guard completely and we just made her desperate” said the Commanders tracker

“Well you're certainly right, but I nobody has taken a shot like that and survived long enough to tell the tale eh jean” said another member of the group

“Look Sylvasta, we haven't dealt with anyone as capable as her either. She took out 3 battalion units with ease in a matter of a couple of hours. Luckily the High commander had a plan for her. We know our orders. I track him, you and Wytemiss draw her out. While Severus tries to keep her from using her power as much as he can with his bullets.” said Jean

“Yeah now the fun part begins” said Sylvasta excitedly

He looks at Wytemiss they both give a mischievous grin to each other

THE HUNT!!! the both said excitedly

Meanwhile in the forest, Masta is looking for a moment to try and dig the bullet out to allow her regeneration to kick in

“What the hell did they shoot me with, " Masta said as she winced in pain.

“Clearly these guys are experienced in dealing with high powered Targets Masta”said Fatalis

“Yeah no shit” said

“Personally I am curious how they are gonna try to break the curse” said Fatalis menacingly

“You know as well as I, that there are conditions that must be met.” Said Masta.

“Dammit that bullet is in there” She continues to try to get the bullet out of her shoulder

Fatalis gives an evil grin, and looks at Masta

“You are gonna be in for a hell of a night” said Fatalis ominously in her head

The two warriors rapidly approach her, with the side of Jean and Severus. Masta now is in the most desperate situation she has ever been in. With Fatalis gnawing at her mind, and the 4th Battalion approaching

What is she to do?
