User blog:Isaac Kifer/WWYD Response: Hornet

As the Mantis lifts me up higher I've only got one chance to get this just right. "So I take it that we just can't talk this all out right?" I ask. The Mantis glares at me. "No, there isn't." She replies. I grin. "I thought not." I say back as I swing back in her grip and draw my sword and hit her appendage causing my release. "What kind of sword is that?" The Hornet asks, her spear now raised. "The blunt kind, I don't enjoy the idea of killing mamonos, not my style. I want to build a bridge between humans and mamonos so I don't intend to kill them. Hurt? Only in self-defense." I explain. "I don't care for your ideals, I'm taking you back to my hive and I'm not taking no for an answer!" She yells as she charges toward me. "Yeah I didn't think I was going to get that choice." I say as I avoid her attack. The Mantis gets back into the fray and lunges at me. I run at her and put my hand on her head and use her as a base for me to jump off of. While the Mantis eats the dirt literally,the Hornet thrusts her spear at me again and I parry it with my sword. "For a human you're rather stubborn." She states. "I know, I've been told." I tell her. We go back and forth before the Mantis has had enough of my antics and guns for me. "You know," I start. "If the circumstances were different, we all might've been friends." I say to her. I push myself away from her and dodge out of the way of the Mantis as she tackles the Hornet. I sigh and knock the two of them out to prevent them from any further mishaps. "If things had been different we would've been friends..." I mutter. I turn and walk away and putting my sword away I begin to wonder if that bridge I want to build between humans and mamonos will ever come true. "Time will only tell I guess." I say to myself and I go on my way.
