The woman furls her eyebrows. "There's nothing a dead man can do with my name. You're from Paradiso correct? You have something I want, but first..." Still holding her rapier on offense, she pulls out a paper from her shirt and tosses it to Tully. It was the note Marietta wrote and gave it to the Regibot in Hayden City. "Do you know the person that wrote this!?"

Tully raises an eyebrow. "Well, I ain't no expert on handwritin', but it don't look like anyone I know." He backs up a little as he says this, the lie not having quite his usual slickness. Still, it might still work if she thinks his slight quaver is due to fear. Which it is, just not exclusively. Without visibly acknowledging the slight failure, he continues. "Believe me, weren't my idea to come here, but, wel-" In mid word, he leaps up, a knife flicking into his hands. "Now I'm here, might as well introduce myself like you did." He holds the knife in front of him, looking over his opponent - the way she stands, moves and holds her weapon - and waits for her to make the first move. Shift Action: Stand up. Standard Action: Use Take Aim.

This woman in front of you reads your guilty face, you know something. "I'm not mature enough to beat up a kid, sorry. You'll tell me sooner or later!" She lunges to the inside and flicks the sword against Tully's chest. She returns to a neutral position as swiftly as she could, leaving small openings in the process.

Tully grunts a little as he take the blow. "Well, ain't you a classy lady? Now me?" He darts to the side and rams a knife into her off-shoulder. "I'll beat up anyone wants me dead!"
As he pulls the knife out with one hand, witht the other he throws a handful of dirt he'd picked up when he rose at her eyes. He backs of a step, not bothering to quiet his footsteps. "Call it a quirk o' mine."
Standard: Payback Swift: Use Dirty Fighting for Blind Manuever Shift: Disengage 1 metre away

www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUxSIVLGGPAShe reels her arm back from the stab. The dirt obscures her vision but this is good. Her dirtied face shows a pained expression with tears beginning to run down her cheeks in hope to get the dirt out, and that knife friggin' hurts! She keeps up on her offense, swaying the sword around Tully's location. A pink light starts to shine from the rapier's guard as she swings it across Tully, only hitting your hand. You feel no pain from the attack, but your hand starting from the fingertips to the middle of the palm is cut clean off... A low pink hue is covering the area of the hand that were cut.

Tully's eyes flick briefy to his lack-of-hand. Crap crap crap crap crap... might be okay, probably temporary. I hope.Fortunately, his survival intincts kick in and he uses his remaining hand to stick a knife in the woman's other shoulder. Standard: Use Deadly Strike on Mystery Woman.

With most of the dirt gone from her eyes she looks at what her previous attack did. She can barely lift up her arms so she will have to end this soon or the other two will notice something is wrong. "It's never too late to tell me about the letter. You're 15 years too young to beat me." She uses her remaining strength to leap towards and pass through Tully, cutting his side in the process. The sword begins to glow pink once more followed by the mystery woman's exhaustion. Standard action: Used Slice(passing move)

Tully grunts as the sword slices across his chest before whirling around and slamming a knife into the woman's back before she can turn back around. "That right? Looks to me like you're fifteen years too old." He says hoping the taunt will distract her from how badly he's looking too. Standard: Use Payback on Mystery Woman.

She coughs out a bit of blood before turning towards you, lowered sword. "Well, that was kind of rude... Name's Brooklyn by the way." She says as falls to the ground across from, losing vision. "Tch, what a crappy way to go..."

Tully sighs, thanking whatever powers are listening that she went down.
He picks himself up and pulls a Potion and a Super Potion out of his pockets, spraying them on his various wounds.
After he finishes, he looks down at the space where his hand used to be and, hopefully, would soon be again. He looks to Brooklyn's unconscious body.
"Best get my hand back before I tie her up." He mutters to himself before carefully picking up her sword, wary of any traps she might have on it, and looks where he saw the glow earlier.

As you lean in to pick up the sword, you see your lopped off hand on the ground a few feet away from your fight. The same pink hue attached to your stump is also on the severed portion of the palm.
To the naked eye, it looks just like a normal rapier, but you find a pink shard inside the guard cover.

Tully holds the rapier and reaches forward to take the shard, only to remember that he doesn't have a second hand with which to take it.
Sighing, he walks over to where his hand is lying and sticks the rapier in the ground, point down, before taking.
Holding the shard in his palm, he picks up his hand. "Really hope this works." He says as he places the hand on his stump.

Once you align your hand, the pink light flashes and seals it back in to place. You feel the sharp pain of your nerves reattaching but other than that you feel whole again.
The shard doesn't look like it activated to reattach your hand so that is also good news.

Tully winces, wiggling his fingers to make sure everything still works right.
"Nasty little thing." He says, looking down at the shard in his other hand. "Well, better ours than theirs." He puts in his coat, in a different but equally secure pocket to the other shard he has.
He bends down next to Brooklyn, first checking to make sure she's not going to die, then looking for anything that could be used to bind her.
Let's see - got no rope on me, nothin' around to use... He looks down at his shirt, sliced open by Brooklyn's blade. Sighing, he tears off a few strips from the bottom of it and uses them to stop up her wounds and bind her hands behind her back. He also makes sure to look over and check that her sword is still a good distance from her.
Having done that, he stands up and releases Xander. He puts his fingers to his lips as soon as he does and the two creep to the edge of the clearing, keeping low, watching to see what other surprises were in store.

Even during the commotion between Tully and Brooklyn, Marietta was too absorbed in examining the only tool she had on finding her parents. More important than that, what about the items she gave to Regibot? She makes more thorough examination. Nothing, they were not there...
That is when her concentration is snapped by the faint voice of her mother. "Mom?" Marietta shouts, seeking her mother's prompt. In frenzy and anxiety, Marietta looks all around, left and right, up and down, swiftly. "Where are you?" She sees Tully, and her fallen mother. Her face painted in horror and disbelief, a face a daughter who saw her mother in danger.

"Hmmmm..." Brooklyn slowly grunts in pain as she regains conscious. She's in no condition to raise herself so she turns her head away from Tully.
"I can't fall here. I can hear her now, cheering me on." She says under her breath. "I just want to know if my daughter is on this shit island, please!" She now directs her voice to Tully.

Tully hums for a moment. "Now, most times you wanna ask somethin', you don't use a sword. Ah well, dunno who yer girl is, but if I ain't seen her, I can keep a look out for her, what's her name?"

Swift like a charging Tauros, Marietta sprints to her long lost mother's side, disregarding her fallen Sun hat. She pushes Tully aside, tending to her mother.
"I'm here!"

Jace, probably due to his inability to perceive a butterfree two feet in front of him, just now sees Tully and the stranger. "Tully? What happened?" Marietta's response just made things even more confusing for Jace.

Tully shrugs. "You got me! This lady just leapt outta the trees an' tried to slice me to pieces. Said somethin' 'bout a letter, but was kinda hard to tell with her thrustin' a blade in my face. So I returned the favour." He turns to Marietta. "So, you know this lady?"
