Babes with Blades Page #6

Well, they won't stop

searching 'til they find us.

No one who has never escaped

the arena room lives.

Then it's time that changed.

We can't just wait

for them to come looking

we need a way off this world.

All right, where do we go?

They control this

entire section of space.

We have to do

more than escape.

We have to fight back.

We have to give them

more to focus on

so all their

attention isn't on us.

Why have the people put

up with this corruption?

They had no choice.

The Visray control the water

supply amongst other things.

There are a small

number of rebels

that have started to fight back

but as soon as

their numbers grow,

Sorrentine sends in her

elite guard and crushes them.

Their leader is her

personal bodyguard.

You've experienced

his skills already.

No one has ever gone up

against him and survived.

Are they all like him?

No.

Not as strong or fast,

but still brutal.

But he's not human?

No one knows.

What is it?

Nothing.

Do you know how to

contact the rebels?

No.

But I'm guessing stories

of your little escapade

will have got to them by now.

They'll be looking for you.

Well they won't find us here.

Strength in numbers.

So you're the women

who escaped the arena?

Observant.

You need to move on.

You embarrassed Sorrentine,

she's not going to rest

until you're both strung up.

She'll have a long wait.

Her men will be

looking for you

and that's bad news for us.

We don't need that

kind of attention.

Why were you looking for us?

To see if we can

help each other.

My enemy is your enemy.

I'm going to kill

Sorrentine myself.

Oh, the Sarnian speaks.

(laughs)

If it were that easy,

we'd have done it already.

Even if you could get

to her, which you can't,

her bodyguard would

slice you to pieces.

Your personal vendetta

has nothing to do with us.

Our responsibility

is our own people.

By stealing food and bandages?

Not exactly long-term strategy.

Oi, we do what we can.

Besides, we got a plan.

That's enough, Brook.

But it's not enough.

We need to do something so

bold it changes the game.

This is no game.

Just stay out from our sector.

I wish we could help but what

you're planning

is too dangerous.

Our people come first.

Come on.

Then I wish you luck.

That coulda gone better.

Maybe, but it's just too

dangerous to involve them now.

Not when we're this close.

Yeah, well, they

can handle themselves.

We could always use more fires.

We can handle

things without them.

I know, I was just saying.

(gasps)

Aw, sh*t.

(grunting)

(swords clinking together)

(gurgling)

(dramatic music)

No!

(grunting)

Know any Sarnian prayers?

I'll say one for you.
