[color=0072bc]“E-Eh? What’s going on?”[/color] Bastion asked as her piggy-back ride was halted by two maids. Truthfully she didn’t know what was going on nor could she remember why she was in this space ship anyway. Maybe it wasn’t a space ship but it certainly looked and felt like one. But in the time she could consider asking what was going on, all sorts of events happened at once.

First was having a gun turned on her by the maids. Then Diana began preaching to the two maids about the morality of their actions. While Bastion appreciated being defended, she did hope they could resolve this without violence. So once again she tried to manage some calming words for everyone to just settle down so they could resolve this. And then Diana shot plasma from her mouth.

[color=0072bc]“Eeep! W-Well, she did tell you to duck,”[/color] Bastion tried to add as consolation to the two maids. [color=0072bc]“Miss Diana, shouldn’t we at least apologize-hey, slow down!”[/color] she protested as the dragon girl clenched onto her with a tighter hold and zipped off in the direction of escape. They would have made it too had the maids not retaliated with shooting at the fleeing rogue.

[color=0072bc]“Agghh!”[/color] Bastion said, gripping her arm as something small and sharp grazed it. A look down made her gasp as she saw the white of her straight-jacket sleeve slowly become seeped with red. One of the maid’s stray bullets had hit her and while it wasn’t enough to incapacitate her, it still hurt like hell. There was no telling what sort of punishment High Queen Eos would enact if their prize was damaged in any way. A prize the maids were supposed to be protecting.

The duo’s attempts to flee would only go so far before another Machina unit appeared before them, this one holding an icy stare that made Bastion shiver despite the pain in her arm. Blood continued to drip to the floor, Bastion biting her lip to keep from crying out. She didn’t know who these people were but so far Diana was the only one who hadn’t tried to harm her. That alone made her want to stick with the dragon girl as opposed to the robot or the two cosplayers.
