Augidget stared out a small bush in the marshes of Dustwallow, directly at a squad of haggard, wounded and exhausted Horde Soldiers. Seven Orcs, a couple of Trolls and a Goblin. She had been hunting Horde almost continuously after the bomb had gone off and Jaina Proudmore had been rescued from the scene, this group she had been been toying with for nearly 5 hours straight. Leaving traps, bait, shots from the shadows, hits and runs. Never once revealing her presence for more then a second in each engagement. Each member of the squad at this point was tired, a couple of the Orcs had already fallen unconscious from Blood loss and exhaustion.
And now she was ready for the coup de grace. The squad had decided to move into the thicker part of the swamps in hopes of cover and hiding from their assailant, but this had instead spelt their doom, in a short time the squad would trip a tiny wire, setting off the final trap. A large batch of Gnomish made electrocution grenades, designed to totally paralyze any beings caught in the blast radius.
Augidget closed her eyes as she heard the sound of a metalic click, easily distinguishable from the usual sounds in the swamp, quickly followed by sizzling and screams from Orc and Troll alike. Augidget knew that the vast majority of the squad had fallen for her trap.
Opening her eyes she looked at the fallen squad, all but three members were on the ground, groaning in pain and covered in painful burns, she took a single step out of the bush. With her left hand she draw a single edged serrated blade and flexing right hand the large metallic gauntlet covering it whirred to life, notifying the remaining three of her presence.
The Troll was the first to spot her, yelling frantically in orcish as he drew his axe and charged, quickly being followed by two orcs. Normally this may have been a challenging fight, but in their exhausted state the soldiers were sluggish and easy to predict. Augidget leans aside a clumsy vertical axe swipe with little to no visible effort, and deftly swipes her serrated blade through the Trolls right knee, causing the victim to trip and fall. With precise timing she spins on the ball of her right foot and turns, bringing the large metallic gauntlet directly forward into the fall Trolls face, the Kinetic Survo's inside the gauntlet releasing a small amount of stored energy. The sickening crack of breaking bones and teeth echoes through the woods.
The Orc that accompanied the Trolls right flank was the second to approach, he was clad in thick metal armor. So Augidget knew she had to strike precisely. Stabbing her blade into the ground she deftly hopped on top of the blade with an acrobats precision and drew one of her pistols. Flipping off the top of the hilt as the Orc attempted a full horizontal cleaving swing. While in mid air Augidget points her pistol at the Orc, and from point blank fires a short directly into the frontal opening of his metal helmet. The Orc collapsed right next to Augidgets blade as she landed on the opposite side.
Confused by how such a tiny creature could dispatch two soldiers of the Horde with little visible effort, the third Orc hesitated. Augidget grabbed a single throwing knife from under her right shoulder pad and swiftly hurls it at the Orc, catching the hesitating creature directly under the chin of his helm in the throat. Augidget drew her blade from the ground as the Third opponent collapsed, dead.
Augidget strode forward at her remaining prey, three of the seven downed soldiers were in a perfect position to watch the Gnomes display, the Goblin was already whimpering, though the Orcs kept their mouths and faces firmly set. Augidget always gave the orcs credit for facing death without cowardice, but she didn't care for the moment.
"Mercy!"
Augidget stopped, and stared, the Goblin had spoken out. Inside her she enraged. This Goblin had dared to ask for mercy? After what they had done? Augidget glared at the Goblin, dropped her sword and walking forward, speaking with a disgusted and hateful tone that one would rarely hear from a Gnome.
"Mercy? You ask for mercy? Tch...
The frightened have reached out, and you cast them aside,
The weak cried out, you raised your fists against them,
and now because you're the one who's about to die you beg me for mercy?
I may have held mercy for your pathetic kind before.. But after what you have done, the thousands you killed in unprovoked wanton slaughter? There is not room in my heart for mercy anymore.."
Augidget clenched her right fist, the gauntlet on her right hand whirring to life and loudly, she was going to release all the gathered energy in a single burst, all the energy gathered from sparring with others, constant training in hand to hand combat, all the kinetic energy that had been gathered was enough to bring down a wooden wall. She knew that even with the recoil dampeners installed she would likely suffer for doing this, but she did not care anymore. She wanted simply to erase these monsters from existence.
Rearing her right fist back she dashed forward and leaped into the air, yelling at the top of her lunges. The Goblin screamed in terror, as Augidget drove her fist forward.
Both screams were abruptly cut by the sound of shaking earth and rising dust.
