Megumi felt some satisfaction when the man's stupid grin dropped like his shield did, but this feeling was short lived as it was replaced by sharp pain as he punched her in the ribs. She couldn't avoid it because she was already in the air. The punch sent her tumbling onto the grass, but fortunately, the dagger had pierced the man's body before she was sent flying. She lay still for a moment, her body trying to recover from the sudden shock. She was finding it hard to breath as well, but she recovered quickly.

She slowly pushed herself upright, a sharp feeling of agony struck her as she moved. She put her hand gently on the spot where the man had punched. [color=ed1c24][i]Shit.[/i][/color] He had broken a couple of her ribs. But this wasn't the time to be worrying about injuries. She looked over to where the Screamer was only to see him fleeing into his weird portal. She was considering whether or not to follow him, but she was apprehensive about going in. Her train of thought was interrupted by a Squire who also had some sort of injury to his ribs. 

[color=f6989d][i][b]"I'm going through. The superiors will want the body, and any information we can get from the other side. If we're quick, we can get back before it closes, I think. Join me?"[/b][/i][/color]

[color=ed1c24][b][i]"Go with you? That's ridiculous."[/i][/b][/color] She scoffed, wincing as she got up. She slowly walked over to where her dagger lay, picking it up with her free hand. [color=ed1c24][b][i]"What are we waiting for?"[/i][/b][/color] She added, giving the Squire a cheeky smirk before climbing into the portal. The superiors wanted the guy right? There's money involved in this. Possibly a chance to get close to Svarak.
