Katerina didn't think of herself as an overly violent person. Oh sure, she knew how to defend herself, how to put bullies in their place, and she had been in a scuffle or two. But she didn't go out actively seeking fights or trying to enforce her will on others. She liked to think she was fairly live and let live, in that regard.

But this....this was just too easy. The shades had nothing on her, couldn't touch her, and it was all too simple to crush them, rip them apart, make sure they never threatened her ever again. And when one went down it was a simple task to race to the next and mete out her vengeance upon it as well. She was lost in a frenzy of anger, violence, hatred, fueled by the burning that had consumed her and enabled by the power that she now had. 

With the last one gone she rose, looking around and spotting the group some distance away. She quickly determined that they weren't necessarily a threat though, and was willing to leave them alone. They seemed to all be getting along well, but it wasn't as if she had some reason to care about them. All she cared about was getting out of wherever this was, getting back to Nizhny, and figuring out what had happened to her.

Then she didn't have the chance, more shades, of all shapes and sizes, appearing before her. Yet she did not fear, not with the power coursing through her veins. Perhaps she was outmatched, but in that moment it seemed like she was invincible. "Fine, come at me then," she spat, fists clenched tight enough to let her nails dig into her palms, a twisted smile on her lips. Oh yes, she was definitely going to enjoy this. 

But she had no chance to. Colored flashes of light appeared, spearing down from the heavens to strike the shades, to rend hem apart in bursts of power. Katerina came up short, looking on in confusion as the lights faded to reveal three girls, each of them gaudily dressed and each of them with a strange weapon. 

At least they spoke Russian, unlike everyone else from before. 

Arms folded across her chest, radiating anger left to simply simmer inside of her soul, Katerina frowned as she drew closer to the assembled group once more, acting as if she hadn't soloed that group of Shades from before. "I did," she replied matter of facly to the spoken question, looking the girls over. Was she grateful for them saving their lives? Perhaps. But there was also the suspicion that thy had had something to do with this in the first place, and distrust since they could have become involved earlier but had waited so long to do so. 

Needless to say, she would be careful around the trio. "So where are we? What the hell were those things?" Now that they were here, Katerina was expecting answers.
