By The Horns Ch. 5, P. 1 [Preview]

[pre-story] Hey there, Squish here, with something a little... unusual. Chapter 5, all together, is about 12k words long at the moment, and will probably be closer to 15k by the time I’m finished. Considering the length, and how long it’s taking, I thought it might be best to break it up a little. This seemed like the cleanest break, but it doesn’t actually have any sex in it, so I debated about it for a long while, until the calendar kinda forced my hand. If you’re just in it for the smut, you could probably skip this part without too much trouble. Still, it’s got a cool fight scene and sets up the initial relationship between the girls and their relationship to Rhuno. I’m still not sure if I’m gonna split the main portion of the story or not, so you might get one big or two smallish parts after this, but I can assure you, whatever comes next, there will be plenty of sex in it.

Unlikely Adversaries, Part 1

“BITCH!”
“WHORE!”

The sounds of shrill, angry shouts echoing from the laboratory were nothing new, and the people of Gadgetzan were content to ignore them as they went about their business beneath the burning desert sun. The ensuing crash of breaking glass, and the dull boom that that followed, were new, but not not so new as to warrant more than a curious glance from passerbys. But when Glitz came flying out of the building, thrown with enough force to break one of the hinges on the double doors as she passed through them, hitting the cracked, baking earth and sliding a couple feet, well, that was certainly new enough to draw some stares.



The goblin girl quickly pushed herself up off the sands and twisted around to narrow her pink eyes in glare at the now-half-open doorway, one leather-gloved hand coming up to wipe away a trickle of blood from the corner of her full, turquoise-painted lips. From the neck down, she was clad in leather armor, the surface bleached in some places and charred black in others, with a pair of many-pocketed bandoliers criss-crossing her chest and another hanging off her hips, gleaming bottles dangling off the belt in easy-to-reach places, alongside a pair of wicked-looking daggers. Her head was mostly uncovered, leaving her long, pointed ears exposed, glittering with a half-dozen gold rings each and a pair of gleaming gemstones set into her gauged earlobes, as well as her short, bright turquoise hair, a single forelock curled up and back, keeping her forehead clear for a pair of rather advanced-looking goggles.

Ginny stepped into the space left by the now-hanging-useless door, leaning against the doorframe with one hand, the rage in the fair-skinned gnome’s expression clearly visible through the semi-transparent pink visor covering her face, lines and numbers forming on the glass as she stared down at Glitz. The cold-blooded fury on her face seemed at odds with the diminutive girl’s poofy pink pigtails, big, bright blue eyes, and cute button nose. While the visor and its broad, metallic headband were the only things protecting her head, from the neck down she was covered in sturdy plate armor, every piece of her equipment clearly well-maintained, beneath a layer of clinging soot, and bristling with add-ons, augmentations, and customizations. Everything from weapon tubes attached to one forearm, to a half-dozen sensors and readouts on the other, to an automatic heart-rate monitor and potion-dispenser on the breastplate. In her free hand, she gripped the shaft of a weapon that looked about as tall as her, a steel staff capped at both ends with rust-red metal, one end extending out into two prongs, upon which an enormous, slowly-rotating gear was mounted.

Glitz pushed herself up to her feet, taking a combat stance as she slowly drew one dagger, the other hand going for one of the colorful vials hanging off her belt. “If that’s how you want it, then bring it the fuck on, bit-” Glitz snarled, only to be suddenly cut off as Ginny hurled herself forward with startling speed, hitting the goblin like a cannonball, her armor-plated shoulder impacting Glitz’ chest mid-curse, briefly silencing her and sending her sprawling once more. Without a moment’s hesitation, she raised the gear-tipped weapon up high overhead, lips twisted in a snarl as she brought it down hard toward the prone goblin.
