That was all Royal could feel. Endless pain. As quickly as it came, it disappeared. Gasping, Royal stood back up, shuddering. It's back leg was still throbbing with pure pain, making it hard to stand without wincing, but it did it. For once, Royal's bracelet seemed to be tight instead of loose. It was like a noose, tight around its paw. Royal's collar was the same. It felt like it was choking off all airflow, though Royal knew it was breathing. It just didn't feel like it. Royal lifted a shaky paw to make sure its crown was intact and pain exploded in its paw and its back leg, the two limbs pulsing in synchrony. Royal collapsed to the ground again, unable to bear it. When Royal had finally mustered the strength to look at its back leg, it almost collapsed again. Its leg was...glitching, kind of. Coming in and out of reality. Royal could only assume its crown was the same way, and that was why touching it had caused its paw to explode in pain. The two glitching objects seemed to be connected, as when its paw had started to hurt even more so had its leg. "Hey, you good?" A voice asked. Royal pushed itself to its feet, trying to hide its back leg. "Fine. Go away." It snapped. The cat in front of it tilted its head. "No thanks. I'm Liberty. Wanna cause chaos together?" Well, that did it. Might as well have a temporary alliance. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GETAWAY CAR ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Someone set the old hospital aflame yesterday." Jeanine, ever the gossip, said. "The flames apparently leaped to both buildings next to it." "It hit the next three buildings in all directions, actually." Liberty corrected out of habit. Jeanine looked at her curiously. "How did you know?" Liberty paused a moment, then sighed. Oh well. It was about time she moved on anyways. She grinned impishly at Jeanine. "I set it. Ta ta!" Unfurling her wings, she launched herself into the air, ignoring the shouts from below. Whooping in delight, she did a few loop-de-loops while trying to figure out which direction to go in. She'd come from the west, but had also flown over this town from the east before. So... south it is! She landed somewhere that didn't look familiar, but there was no telling unless one of the locals happened to recognize her. It'd happened before. A lot of times, actually. That was the problem with criss-crossing the continent on an arson spree; you could never remember if you'd hit a place already. Liberty skipped down the street, happy when no one stopped here, then stopped. She'd heard something, in an alley she'd just passed. Curious, she backtracked and went into the alley, then stopped. Another cat was in front of her, their entire body flickering into and out of existence, mewling in pain. After a moment, most of the flickering went away, though (cont below)
