The champion's laugh grew louder, almost maniacal, as he pointed at Ys with one of his clawed hands. "Tell me, little sister," he said mockingly, his voice dripping with venom.
"what's next? Are you going to regress to Tier 1 and start licking the dirt beneath our feet? Hah! You might as well crawl back to whatever gutter Mother dumped you in!"
The laughter stopped abruptly with the sharp, mechanical sound of a shotgun being reloaded.
The champion's glowing eyes snapped to Rex, his wings stilling as he noticed the plasma shotgun aimed squarely at his head.
Rex's voice cut through the hangar like a blade. "I don't know who you are or what rank you have here," he said, his tone low and menacing, "but the one you're insulting is my wife. So I'd really appreciate it if you…"
He raised the shotgun slightly, steadying his aim directly at the champion's forehead. "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STEP AWAY FROM MY GIRL!"
