Agent on the Run - Page 57/64

The gorilla reacted with savagery by reaching up and slicing its talons into the backs of the bear's front shoulders. The bear groaned in pain but held on.

In a cry of relief Flicker surged up to her feet and seeing her chance she took it. She swept forward and lopped off the straining unnatural aberration of a reproductive part and then she stepped in close and slammed both sworded arms into the gorilla's gut to the hilt and twisted hard.

The gorilla roared in agony and threw the polar bear that was over three times its size up and overtop of Flicker's head. It came for her then savagely and she backpedaled away slicing at its attacks on her. So intent on Flicker was the gorilla that it didn't notice the recovered polar bear, who surged back ready for the fight.

Slam!

The gorilla dropped to the ground under the force of the paw strike to its head that would have killed any normal animal on the planet in its tracks, but the gorilla surged up off the ground and sprang at the bear. It tried to get at the bear's neck with its huge glistening canines, but the bear, the champion of many a scuffle, dodged the attempt and succeeded in claiming the gorilla's throat instead.

The polar bear fell over backward gripping the gorilla with both ponderous arms, as it held on to the throat of the gorilla for dear life. Flicker catapulted upward and after a talon entrenched landing on the back of the gorilla she slammed both sworded arms down through the gorilla's back penetrating the thick armor once again.

The gorilla roared its rage and in a quick move Flicker's left-hand re-materialized from a sword to a clawed apparatus of a hand, with which she reached forward and grasped the beast's mouth over the top of its head, her talons curling over its metallic canines. She yanked back with all her strength to the point of snapping the beast's jaw, as the bear continued to hold its neck and lower jaw in an unyielding grasp.

Flicker's right arm still in the form of a sword flashed up and then down, as she gored the bladed arm down the beast's throat, twisting viciously back-and-forth with it. The gorilla bucked in the bear's grasp, as it choked on its own blood.

It was over quickly and Flicker removed her arm, as the beast's red glowing eyes faded from color. Flickered jumped away from the carcass eager to be away from the slain monster.

The polar bear released its hold and shoved the offending twisted form of nature off to the side. The bear lumbered up to its feet appearing none the worse for wear despite the intenseness of the fight. Briefly it snuffled at Flicker's hair before giving her cheek a big scratchy lick coated in slobber.
