[b][h3][color=gold]La Bandita[/color][/h3] Local: Toad Town [sup]Operatives: [@Holy Soldier], [@Jensoman][/sup] [/b] As Bonnie charged on ahead, she heard someone call back to her. Whipping her head back revealed it was Mario, with an egg in his hand. She skidded to a stop where she was, and began getting into position. His request was simple. "Batter up." Bonnie turned sideways to Mario, cocking her hips and placing the weight to her back leg. The man threw the egg like a standard screwball pitch. As he did this, Bonnie's front foot slammed into the ground. This was going to be a powerful hit, and she firmly planted herself on the ground, ready for it. The egg got closer. Bonnie breathed in, and then out. The egg got closer. Bonnie's hips began to move towards it. The egg got closer. [h3]SMAAAASH![/h3] The egg collided with The Giant as the bandit swung the bat at it. An incredible force when to Bonnie's hands, almost forcing her to drop the bat. Her breath hitched, but she held her ground. The bat accelerated and pushed against the kid, before sending him flying. Bon finished the swing, her bathead resting behind her head. She laughed to herself slightly. Apparently, all those years in little league had payed off. Bonnie stood her ground and waited for Mario. That was a bit intense, and she wasn't really in the mood for running right now. She'd defend the position and wait for the hero to join her. After all, there really wasn't much benefit to reaching the castle first.
