Aimee shook her head at what Hailey had said "You wanted me to yourself? Rather selfish still, if you ask me, and the answer is still no" she told her friend, flexing her wrists "The dragon back in the village has probabally already told the others that you're here"
"They know as well? How?" Hailey asked, eyes glancing at Aimee's fists flexing.
"How else? The princess knows, sent word to him, how else do you think I knew to find you here? You hadn't exactly been staying low profile" Aimee retorted back "But they'll be here soon, so unless you want to be captured or killed, I suggest you get going now"
"You're....you're giving me a head start?" Hailey asked back as the distance between them had grown enough.
"Not exactly, I'm sparing you, if you want to help out Chong and whatever sadistic ways he's got fine, but just know that if you do, whatever happens to you, I wont always be there to save you again" Aimee told her rather plainly.
"What happened to you Aimee? You...you really have changed" Hailey retorted back.
"The whole world doesn't stop because you had died Hailey, I kept on living my life" Aimee spoke "Now either you get going now...."
"Or we have a little fight right now, is that it?" Hailey finished off for Aimee, eyes glancing around still, glad that the others hadn't reached them yet as her fists engulfed themselves in flames "Fine, but I'm not going to die a second time" and with that, without really thinking on her actions and instead, just doing, she charged at Aimee.
"You really are selfish Hailey" Aimee retorted as she bought up her arms to defend herself, blocking each of Hailey's swings as to not burn herself by Hailey's fire "I just wish you could see that for yourself....this isn't you, not the same friend I had back on Earth"
"As you said Aimee, people change" Hailey continued to try to hit Aimee, only to keep on striking her arms instead "Maybe I didn't have a choice in the end, but I did want at least another chance at life....I just don't know what to do is all....unless...."
"Unless what?" Aimee asked curiously as she grabbed onto Hailey's flaming paws, her metalic arms and paws able to hold the heat off "You have a plan?"
"Perhaps, but I'm not sure if it'll work is all, if Chong will catch on or not" Hailey replied as she kneed Aimee in the stomach followed by a swift, flaming punch to Aimee's face "It's simple...ish"
"Let me guess, you're going to just wing it? Make it all up as you go along? You sure that's wise?" Aimee asked back, grabbing onto Hailey's free arm, turning Hailey around and holding her arm behind her back.
"Well, not really" Hailey slammed her head backwards into Aimee's face in order to free herself from Aimee's grip "But it's a plan regardless....and that's to just play along really till I get a real plan..." she then fired a fireball in Aimee's direction "...into motion"
"So, it's a plan...." Aimee crouched down as the fireball flew over her head "....to lead up towards another plan? I guess that...." she then rushed forward and struck Hailey in the stomach "....could work"
Hailey stumbled back a bit as she grabbed her stomach in pain "It has to work, I mean, I don't really want to do this, but I don't really have a choice in the matter right now, but if I play along, then perhaps after it's all done, I might still get to live....I hope anyway"
