Hex’s downfall [II]
Her attention was drawn towards Sting, who was idly walking towards the door.
"What the hell is he doing?" She thought, cautiously staring at the mischievous Player.
As her thoughts went into overtime, earnestly trying to deduce what Sting was up to, she heard his voice boom into her ears, "This room is filled with planted Grenades… I personally attached then all over the room right before I made any attempt to find you".
"What?"
"Damnit!" She cursed, randomly rolling eyes around the room, trying to pinpoint the various planted grenades.
"You might not want to stand there…. Heh-Heh" Sting sadistically remarked, promptly walking out of the room, predicting what was going to happen next.
"Fuck it!" She furiously cursed, as her eyes were greeted by a small black box, which had multiple crimson and azure colored, digital buttons.
These were special type Grenades which could act as a time bomb or instant detonators. They could also detonate according to it's users will.
Her attention was promptly attracted to similar miniature box's, attached to multiple metallic cases. They were approximately, seven in numbers, which were inconspicuously hidden.
"That bastard!" She grievously cursed, acknowledging Sting's mischievous and wickedly brilliant demeanor, watching the door automatically closing, locking her behind it.
! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom
"Checkmate…. I win!" Sting maniacally muttered, slowly trying to exit the scene, without looking back.
! Voom!
The metal door suddenly opened, releasing the built up ashy, dark smoke and debris which was a result of the explosion. The room itself was severely damaged by the explosion, however, it wasn't destroyed completely, given to note the material used in the construction of the room's walls.
The only thing's that were damaged beyond repair, were the contents of the room.
Sting's attention was immediately drawn towards the sudden appearance of smoke and debris in the hallway. The Lewd but mischievous Players eyes were greeted by a dark, crimson glowing silhouette figure, which suddenly appeared inside the gradually dissipating smoke.
After a couple of seconds, the smoke completely dissipated, revealing the figure's actual identity. The crimson glowing Silhouette figure was non other than Hex, Vice Commander of the Death Squadron and her crimson glow was a result of her using a Medic Kit to heal the damages she incurred.

Although, the changes weren't nearly enough, she was forced to deal with it. She summoned her dagger's, as she charged straight towards Sting.
The latter responded quickly, summoning his Kite-Eye, trying his earnest best to shoot her down.
! Bam! Bam! Bam!
With each shot, Hex swiftly tilted to the left and right, practically evading all of Sting's shot. The Player wasn't shocked at all, as he kept on firing at the incoming Hex.
Hex on the other hand, had plans of her own, as she mentally browsed through the Store tab.

Promptly, she agreed to the transaction, purchasing the smoke bombs. Everything was done within a second, as she immediately summoned the item she had purchased, smashing it against the ground.
! Boom!
The miniature, round item immediately erupted, releasing an odd scarlet colored smoke, slowly filling up the hallway, drastically reducing Sting's vision.
On seeing this, the mischievous player instantly released a hearty chortle, earnestly waiting for what would happen next.
"Die you bastard!" Hex's young and oddly sweet voice reverberated right into Sting's ears, causing him to enter high defensive mode.
Frantically staring left and right, forwards and backwards, he earnestly tried to pinpoint his opponents location in the scarlet colored smoke.
His attention was immediately drawn to a figure above him, incoming with a heavy, falling kick.
"Found ya" He silently muttered, attempting to shoot the young, female player right out of the air.
However, he was too late as her kick promptly fell onto his head. Instinctively, Sting abandoned the idea of an attack, shifting his attention towards defenses, utilizing his large rifle as a shield for his head.
"Tsk…" She clicked her tongue, infuriated by the fact that Sting was still able to block her attack. Her leg immediately recoiled off his heavy gun, sending Hex back to the ground.
Not relenting, she promptly continued her previous plan, running circles around Sting, while using the scarlet screen of smoke to charge for the kill unnoticed.
Reading directly through her seemingly flawless plan, Sting promptly focused his eyes, not onto his opponent but the smoke screen around him.
Using the minoàr distortions in the clockwise flow of the Smoke, he could easily detect where Hex currently was in it. Although his plan wasn't in all perfect and possessed some flaws, it was the best he could come up with at the moment.
Out of the blue or red, Hex swiftly lunged at Sting with a right forward jab, instantly followed by left forward jab, then a right downward slash, as well as a left forward jab and finally, an X crossed strike.
Luckily, Sting dodged a few of her sequentially attacks, blocked a few with his rifle while a few grazed his body, inflicting minor damage.

Immediately after her attacks, Hex swiftly leaped back into the scarlet smoke, which soon started showing signs of dissipating.
"Shit…. I have to end this quickly" Hex inwardly muttered, while she ran circles around Sting, trying her best to confuse him.
! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam
Unlike before where actually waited for Hex to attack while in the midst of the blinding smoke, he rapidly fired at the silhouette figure that ran past him.

! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!...
Immediately, Sting hurriedly fired fifty Mana forged bullets in minute, all targeted earnestly at Hex's racing figure. He frantically continued his barrage, trying his best to stall for time.
Soon he noticed that the dense, scarlet smoke was rapidly dissipating. However, he didn't cease his ballistic barrage, as he increased the power behind each of his attacks.
[MP: 255] [EXP: 134/264]
[STRENGTH: 21] [FATIGUE: 17]
He randomly and madly sprayed the hallway with bullets, obviously disregarding his opponent.
"What the hell is he doing?" Hex curiously thought, idly staring at the mad Player. She was still hiding herself within the remnants of the scarlet smoke.
"Fuck shit!" She furiously cursed, as she soon noticed what Sting was trying to do with random barrage.
The mischievous Player was trying to use the force produced from each of his Mana forged bullets to speed up the process of dissipation, thus, giving Hex no room to hide or perform a sneak attack.
"Found ya!" Sting maniacally cackled, thundering fear into Hex's heart. He promptly pointed his rifle at a frightened Hex.
"Shit!" She inwardly cursed, glaring earnestly at Sting, prepping her next move..

Straight, accurately and rapidly, Sting shot multiple bullets at Hex and due to the immense speed each bullet had, it was extremely hard to dodge perfectly, thus, placing her in a tough situation.

In a literal fraction of a second, Hex hurriedly vanished without a trace, successfully evading Sting's precise attack, obviously incurring a few injuries.
A second later , She appeared few meters away from Sting, tightly gripping her left hand which was currently bleeding.

"Shit!" She outwardly cursed, expressing her earnest disdain for the male Player she fought against.
"Damnit, I haven't been able to inflict a serious damage on this guy…. Fuck, if this drags out… I'm really gonna die" She thought, cautiously glaring at the sadistic Player.
Not wasting any time, she summoned her last smoke bomb and Medic Kit, simultaneously using both Items.

! Boom!
The smoke bomb exploded, erupting with a dense scarlet colored screen of smoke, decreasing Sting's vision.
"Seriously, this again…. You really aren't creative" He mockingly remarked, trying to annoy the female Player.
However, despite hearing his wry comment, there was no response, gravely confusing Sting. In fact, he noticed that there weren't any disturbance in the current of the scarlet smoke.
"What's going on here?" He cautiously stare into the thick scarlet smoke. He was currently feeling something extremely sinister and rather deadly was about to happen.
Hex on the other hand, was currently standing at the edge of the Scarlet smoke extending her right hand at it, pointing her grotesque, digital dagger.
