​     Brock threw his body over Shawnacy's the best he could considering the fact that he had no use of his legs.

​     "I'll never let you get to her, Bitch!" he yelled at Belle, tears streaming from his eyes. He felt so helpless. He​was helpless. He could do nothing as Belle walked over to hover over the two of them. The helmet Belle wore completely covered her skull. Therefore, no one saw her smile, although she most certainly did.

     "Aren't we just having the most precious little moment?" she cooed. She told Brock, "I think I'll let you live a little bit longer, after all. I love the way you whimper and whine. Your voice gets so high and..."

     WHAM!

     Estelle and Hoby came down right on top of her.

     At the last possible second, Estelle kicked free from Hoby so that she'd roll when she hit the ground rather that smack right into it. She rolled all right, but it wasn't pretty. She left a trail of blood for ten full yards.  

     She was in hell pain, but no way was she going to stay out of the action.

     And as far as Hoby and Belle were concerned:

     It was kind of comical what happened to them.

     Really, Belle did not see Estelle and Hoby coming. All she knew was that, one second, she was getting ready to peel Shawnacy's skin off her face, when something like a meteor slammed into her.

     Her reaction was vicious, of course. She always had and always would strike back at whatever attacked her with everything she had.

     Which is to say, she struck out at the man she'd been fucking not two hours before.  

     Hoby.

     And, of course, because she fought him, he fought right back.

​     They wrestled on the ground for several seconds before they realized what they were doing. Estelle was on them before they could completely sort things out in their minds or whatever.

​     Estelle smacked Belle in the shoulder so hard that she dented Belle's armor. Belle's scorpion tail whipped around in at attempt to give Estelle a good hard sting. Yeah, right. Estelle grabbed that tail before it could get anywhere near her, then used it to swing Belle around her head. Estelle batted Hoby with Belle's body hard enough to send him bouncing off a lamp post. Then she slammed Belle's body into the ground so hard that bits of Belle's armor broke loose. Belle went to dart off into the sky, but her armor's mechanisms weren't working all that well anymore. Her flight was eccentric, to say the least.

     Hoby took off after her.

     "I've already contacted the van," Brock said. "It should be here any second."

     "Cool." Estelle replied.

     The van dropped out of the sky to land in the middle of the street.

​     "Nacy's down, Noel," Estelle said into her com. "I'm hoping it's not some sort of concussion."

​     "Get her out of there." 

​     "I'm getting them both in the van now. We'll be back with you in a...in a..."

​     "How are you, Estelle? You're fading out a little bit. Have you..."  

     "I...I..."

​     "Estelle!"
