Smitten Kitten stood there quietly as Corpse Collector cursed at her. She couldn't blame CC for hating her, but Kitten wasn't going to say she liked her either. Moon Rider and the Sweepers were Smitten Kitten's enemy, that's true, but Corpse Collector was just a mad person. She was more of an individual threat that someone who was going to put all of Deep Ground on their knees. Smitten Kitten might hate the Ebony Strykers and everyone in it but she wasn't going to ignore smaller threats either. [color=orange]"You can hate me all you want, Corpse Collector. But I had to stop you... I will be the first to kill Moon Rider."[/color]

Cleaning her hands of blood Smitten Kitten looked over to Dark Wraith who thought she was only killing Corpse Collector for the reward. [color=orange]"Really? [i]Really?[/i] Have you listened to nothing I've said? I will defeat you. Moon Rider, Dark Wraith, all of you!"[/color] Smitten Kitten turned and pointed an accusing finger at everyone. It didn't matter to her that she was alone against players and stronger than her. Being outmatched wasn't a reason not to fight against evil people. [color=orange]"And I'll do it with my own power, my way. I'm not going to be like Corpse Collector and cheat. I'm not going to be like you and manipulate others. I don't care about the reward, whatever that is. Give it to someone else, it won't change anything."[/color]

Smitten Kitten turned her back on everyone and walked out, still an outlaw. She knew that she essentially painted a target on her back and she wouldn't be surprised if she gets killed before she left the city. But now they knew that Smitten Kitten was going to fight them: she wasn't going to let them hunt her down like an animal anymore. This was her declaration of war. [color=orange]"I know I'm not strong enough to defeat you right now. But the next time we meet Moon Rider, only one of us will walk away alive. I can promise you that."[/color]
