"So... uh..."
uv!Killer rubbed her head, giving Insanity a pointed look.
"You know I'm the Killer from your side, right?"
uvKiller's reasoning was clear.
If Insanity listened to uvKiller, uv!Killer could fight Insanity one-on-one in a moment.
At least she wouldn't be stuck at a disadvantage, fighting two against one like this.
Come to think of it, Horror wasn't weak either, was he? How had this Insanity beaten him?
Still, her own side hadn't fought Insanity either. Insanity had run off as soon as she heard their demands.
"I... I'm just a little crazy... and you take me for an idiot?!..."
Insanity's head swayed at an eerie angle as she suddenly charged at uv!Killer.
"Oh, yeah! Kick her ass, Insanity!!"
Killer cheered Insanity on from the sidelines. All she was missing were glow sticks.
"Hey!! Get over here and help me!!!"
Insanity's fist met uv!Killer's dagger head-on, a trickle of blood seeping out.
But uv!Killer's real knife was stuck too?!
"Crap... nobody told me she could tank a real knife?!"
In desperation, uv!Killer summoned a mass of magical blades, hoping to force Insanity back.
Insanity wasn't intimidated in the slightest. She summoned a mass of bones in midair, knocking the magical blades away just as they were forming.
At that moment, Killer appeared behind uv!Killer too.
"You know, calling you a lamb to the slaughter right now wouldn't be an exaggeration."
Just as Killer was about to strike, uv!Killer suddenly shouted.
"Wait!"
"?"
"..."
When her opponent entered the talking phase, Killer actually stopped.
"Id... idiot! Just because she tells you to stop... doesn't mean you actually should!!"
Insanity was furious. She was still helping hold their opponent in place, so why was Killer listening to her?!
"Oh, right."
Killer's knife came down again.
"Wait!"
Killer's knife stopped again.
"Um... can I knock myself out?"
Overcome by an unprecedented urge to survive, uv!Killer summoned a bone with her free hand and struck the base of her own spine.
She passed out on the spot.
Insanity pulled her fist free and looked down at uv!Killer on the ground, shaking her head helplessly.
(Though her head had been shaking the whole time during the fight anyway.)
"One left... (One Left)"
"When do you think we can end this pointless turn-based combat?"
Even Murder was getting a little speechless. The two of them were currently in a phase of scrupulously fair fighting: one hit from you, one hit from me.
And none of it was accomplishing anything.
Murder would definitely dodge uvMurder's attacks, and could dodge every one of them.
uvMurder would dodge Murder's attacks too, and sometimes, even when uvMurder simply tanked them instead, they barely did any damage.
"Don't rush, other me."
uv!Murder was still taking the fight seriously.
"Once my partners finish off your people... it'll all be over. We won't kill you. We'll just... take Insanity away."
Their mission this time didn't require killing people (or rather, killing monsters?). They only needed to bring back Insanity, either alive and kicking or beaten to a pulp.
"Are you sure... your people are stronger than ours?"
"..."
uv!Murder fell silent for a moment, but then spoke again.
"I believe in them."
