Of course, as soon as Lucky turned his head, Xov closed in. He turned back to Hal, eyebrows raised as if to say I told you so. She came for him again, saying she wasn't afraid of the water anymore like she confessed to him in the Training Center. Xovvy's axe bit through the leather on his chest. He left her alone, he left Ines alone, what more did she want? Did she⦠have a secret crush, perhaps? Wouldn't be the first person who pretended to hate him because they wanted him that bad.
Hal was methodical, at least, accepting Lucky's rescinding apology as he moved on to Felicity again. Lucky felt bad for him, knives and blades flew in his direction and all Hal could do was take it and try to fight back. "Never apologize for doing what's best for you," he said, and Lucky nodded in agreement to Xov. "See? My good friend Hal gets it." He attacked out of necessity, not out of hate. Lucky committed to his allies and his allies only. He wanted to tell her that if Marcellus didn't want to die, he should have been less expendable in Lucky's pecking order, but he kept that thought to himself. There was no need to poke a bear already up his ass.
Lucky sheathed the glaive between his belt and his jeans, leaving both his hands to march with the axe. He jogged a few paces removed from Hal as knives continued to fly at him from Felicity and now Ines. Hal took a couple of swipes in Felicity's direction again. "Oh! Oh!" He commentated, although neither shot connected. It was bold, though, considering the smoke that rose out from her gun. "Just a little bit closer, dude! Like I taught you," Lucky said, axe raised at his chest and he joined him. Were his words of encouragement welcome? Probably not, but Lucky switched sides again, joining Hal against Felicity.
With Gunner, Rita, and Xylia dead, his allegiances shifted with every wave that crashed against the shore. Whatever made sense in the heat of the moment was what he'd work with. As much as Ten's score intimidated him, there were kids with half her score still alive. Inga and Gunner, the other two who had scores of nine, were dead. If he killed her, he might solidify himself as the top dog.
Axe raised, he passed Hal, and sprinted to Ten. A bull rushing toward red, he knew exactly what he was doing.
As long as the water swayed, no one was safe.
