Cat gasped as she felt one foot knock against the other, and rather than slide feet first, she ended up tumbling head first into one of the soldiers and clattered against his legs. Before she'd even fallen back, she felt his strong hands wrap around her skinny arms and force her down onto her back with her arms pinned to the floor. The fear returned with a vengeance as she got a demonstration of just how weak she'd become. She kicked her legs and struggled, but achieved nothing more than flicking her skirt up, when suddenly the soldier's shoulder seemed to explode and his arm flew away from his body. The blood splashed down across her glasses, face and pale hair, but she almost didn't notice as she rolled over onto her hands and knees and watched in utter amazement as the Cyborg started to dispatch the soldiers.
Her relief at being saved with mixed with a touch of jealously as she watched Hime dodging gunfire with such grace, and turning the soldiers own weapons against them, until the floor was covered by their corpses. With the remaining men now focused on the new threat, Cat crawled along the floor, cringing as she brushed against the dead bodies of both soldiers and civilians, pausing at the side of a deceased woman in a smart, expensive looking business suit. She felt guilty doing it, but she checked through the pockets of the woman's jacket, and through her purse, grabbing a set of car keys before moving on. She hurried along on her hands and knees, until she came to a table that had been set up for autograph signings, and after taking a rifle from a fallen soldier, went to take cover beneath it. Resting on her knees, she found it hard to resist simply watching the cyborg, as she was like something straight from the pages of her favourite comics, but she could see the rest of the armed men had now taken up good positions.
Chewing her bottom lip, she looked over the rifle. Even as an adult, she'd never fired a gun this big. She didn't like using guns at all, and when she'd had to, they were no bigger than pistols. This thing looked huge in her hands, but now she finally had a chance to try and help somebody out, she couldn't throw it away. Leaning forward slightly, she held the large rifle, one skinny arm wrapped around it, the back of it tucked beneath her arm, with her other hand trying to keep the front steady. Her heart raced inside her chest as she squeezed one eye shut, and lined up a shot, with just the flames of her crashed jet to provide illumination. The soldiers had taken cover to avoid fire from Hime, but from where Cat was hiding, she seemed to have a better shot at quite a few of them. Squeezing the trigger caused the gun to thud, and she didn't even see the soldier's head explode as she was knocked back off her knees, and onto her bottom by the strong kickback. Blushing, she crawled back onto her knees, and after adjusting her glasses, took another shot.
After taking several shots, and being thrown back onto her bottom each time, she saw the giant wolf, no more than twenty feet away, and it was staring... right at her. Panic flooded through her young body, and her hands began to shake. She swung the rifle around to aim at the creature, but her position was all wrong to fire now, sat with her skinny legs spread out infront of herself, and she couldn't keep her aim steady. She swallowed a lump in her throat, staring into it's eyes... and felt a shiver ran down her spine. Had it been watching her the whole time? Why hadn't it attacked her? Pressing one hand against the floor, she slowly wriggled forward, lifting herself off her bottom, and back onto her knees, before grasping the gun firmly. She paused again, just watching the wolf, before finally drawing a deep breath and turned the weapon away from the creature, to take aim at another soldier, and fired.
