Amber + Rose: Bug Brawl - Part 1

OOC - This is a JP between myself and SMAndy.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Who: Rosette, AmberWhere: Shuttle Bay 42When: Snip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~---- Snip ----Their personalities fought, as in the real world, the Black Widow
faltered, heading down to the launch bays, where a final space-eagle
was ready to take off. Inside, Amber sat at the controls, and saw the
bug enter through the door....---- End Snip ----Looking up at the large green ship, Rosette fought from within to control the beast.  She let out a Hymenopterran scream as the bug within took control again.  She looked around to regain her bearings, and saw the space eagle ahead.  Seeing a ticket home, she headed straight towards the hatch on the side. Amber slowly stood up and sidled back to the gun rack, keeping her eye on the slavering spider in front of her. "Well now, you're a pretty one aren't you. Not seen your kind before...." Amber said, marginally worried by the fact that she had never seen a Hymenopteran unit like this before. After her time with the hive, she should know everything. "Adapting to the modern times are we?" She said out loud, grabbing a laser pistol and a pistol like Vod-Gun from the rack. The spider appeared to laugh at her, it's legs spread out to give a larger centre of balance.  The most human-like part of her was her arms, still there though tipped with sharp claws instead of fingers.  "I sense fear..." It said in a raspy hymenopterran language, within the mind of the spider though, Rosette was fighting back, causing the spider to twitch occasionally.  Her imaginary knives stabbed one of the spiders legs, causing a patch of the exoskeleton to fade away to human skin.  "You'll never defeat me!" it said, though its voice echoed into the real world at the same time.  Lunging in both worlds at the same time, sharp legs shot towards both Amber and Rosette's mind. Amber, distracted momentarily by the sudden appearance of the human like flesh on the leg of the beast, only dodged aside thanks to her GELF like reflexes and speed. "That so spidey?" Amber hissed back in Hymenopterran, aware that this was not a normal Hymenopteran Amber rolled to the side again and unleashed two shots at the beast, squatting low as she came upright again, ready to spring into motion. The shots tore through the spider-like legs, causing it to scream out in pain.  Regaining its composure, the spider dodged quickly to one side, and then the other.  Two of its legs shot forwards in a pincer movement, obviously trying to give Amber less choices to avoid the attack.  Amber dodged one of them, but didn't see the other in time.  Instinctively, she closed her eyes... But nothing happened."Hah.  So if I hurt you here... I hurt you physically as well?" Rosette said, figuring out how it worked.  "If I'd known this before, I'd have my life back already..." she added, attacking again.The spider lunged forwards again with its clawed arms.  It was aiming for her head, trying to make it a short fight, the strain on both sides of its world was weakening it. The pincer like motions of the Hymie were tough for Amber to avoid, she had heightened reflexes, but there is only so much you can do against something like that. She mustered her strength together and leapt upwards, bouncing back. The Hymie pincers hit the deck and Amber took the chance, she sprang forwards and used the momentum to launch herself into the air off the pincers. She cocked the Vod-gun and launched a hail of the alcohol shells at the Black Widow spider. All eight of the spiders eyes opened wide as the alcohol shells rained down on it (literally!).  With its pincers momentarily stuck in the metal floor, she raised an arm to block them.  While this saved the spiders life as the entire volley shot into the creatures arms, the exoskeleton on her arm melted off, leaving a plain old human arm.  The claws that were on her hands fell to the floor, and her arm turned red as it burned like acid.  Her rear legs did something completely unexpected and bent back on themselves, smashing the Vod-gun from Amber's hand.  It flew across the launch bay, skidding across the floor.  Amber cursed as she landed, but was amazed that the spider didn't turn around."Amber! It's me!" Rosette called from inside.  The Hymenopterran language flowed un-cleanly from the creatures mouth, sounding similar to her own voice.  She fought as the beast within turned to face Amber, and launched another assault."Oh no you don't" Rosette yelled, throwing herself at the spiders mind, pinning it to the floor.  For a moment, the spider itself fell to the floor as if an iron pole had been smashed into its head.
"Smeg!" Amber exclaimed, the burned human arm hanging limply from the Hymie's torso. She dodged backwards, the spider backing her up, Amber not shooting for fear of hurting the human inside the bug's shell. Not quite believing what she was seeing, surely it couldn't be real? The spider lashed outwards again, the for pincers slicing through the air and catching Amber's gun arm, knocking it spinning across the floor to join it's alcoholic counterpart.The spider crouched down before rearing up fast, its front legs smashing into Amber, sending her flying across the launch bay.  She hit the back wall hard, knocking the wind out of her.  Slowly, the spider approached, having a bit of trouble since several of its legs had either been hurt by Amber or by Rosette.  Amber sat against the wall, struggling to catch her breath in time, as the sharp legs and claws of the spider bore down on her, ready to take her head.<To Be Continued>
