Chapter Text

Shiver sat on Master Mega in this…well, bank? She had no clue honestly, it had a big vault but otherwise was very strange looking. She was extremely bored, as she was supposed to fight that girl yet had no idea when she would show up.

“Frye, can you see her? Is she anywhere near the entrance?”

“Hold on lemme check…nope, she just hopped into another grate.” Frye said, sitting on a ledge watching the enemy crew walk around. Callie looked over and waved at her, and Frye waved back.

“Ay! (Isn’t she our enemy?)”

“You always gotta be cordial Big Man! So, Shiver, what do you think of this girl you’ll be fighting?”

Shiver thought about this for a moment.

“Well, the fact she’s a fan makes me a little nervous. But she already kicked your ass, so I can’t exactly go easy on her. Plus, she’s clearly got the skills to fight, not to mention the…attributes.” Shiver zoned out for a moment thinking about how toned the girl was.

Frye quickly muted her ear piece they used to talk and looked at Big Man.

“Oh yeah, these two are gonna be easy as hell to get together.”

“Ay! (Shiver always falls for people really quick. I mean do you remember Mina?)”

“Ugh, do not remind me of Mina. Don’t remind Shiver either, I don’t wanna hear another rant.”

Shiver coughed into her mic.

“You do realize Big Man didn’t mute his mic, and you two are three feet from each other?”

Frye looked at Big Man, who simply shrugged.

“Uh, whoops. Ignore everything we just said.”

“Yeah, no. Are you two trying to set me up with that girl? This is just work, i’m not trying to hook up with anyone right now.”

“Ay ay! (Listen, you’ve been kind of down in the dumps for a while now. Maybe having some fun could be good for you! Besides, she can’t be worse then anyone else you’ve dated.)”

Shiver thought about this for a second. It had been about three weeks since her last attempt at dating. This time the girl was just interested in her money, she could tell right from the start. The time before that was the post breakup stalker. Thankfully they are currently behind a nice set of bars, although she doubted they would want anything to do with her considering how badly Frye beat their ass. And then there was Mina. Shiver tried not to talk about Mina, as it would end in a fiffeen minute tangent if she started.

“Just, let me fight this girl alright? I can figure out what I want to do afterwards.”

“Alright, alright. Oh, by the way, she should be there sometime-“

Shiver didn’t really hear the rest, as she saw the girl dropping down. She scrambled to get into position, but forgot she was on top of a giant shark, and slid off of it onto the platform below her. The young woman walked up to her, extremely confused.

“Uh, you okay?”

Shiver blushed and stood up, brushing herself off.

“Of course I am! Now, you can surrender whenever you like, but I would prefer you do it early, as I hate getting Master Mega’s hopes up for nothing. He loves a good fight.”

“Yeah sorry, the intimidating speech would work a lot better if you didn’t just fall off that shark.” The girl said, an amused expression on her face. Shiver just sighed, her entire dramatic entrance ruined.

“Alright, are we gonna do this then?”

“Wait, can we at least talk first? My names Yumi, I don’t think I mentioned that yet.”

“Well then, nice to meet you Yumi, but I have a job to do here, and so do you.” Shiver said, making sure to keep a stern face. Secretly, she was mostly thinking about how Yumi was a very cute name, but she tried to push those thoughts out as she got ready to fight.

“Cod, what is with you guys? This is way different then how i’d imagine I would meet you.” Yumi said, pulling out her heroshot.

“That sounds very parasocial-“

“I know it’s parasocial, i’m trying to work on it! I just like your music!”

Shiver noticed Yumi was looking genuinely panicked, so she had to make a decision. She thought to herself for a second, before patting Master Mega on the head and grabbing some things she had strapped to his side. Yumi looked at her confused.

“Wait, are we not fighting anymore?”

“No, we are. But, I think I know a way we can do this that will help you get rid of some of that tension.” Shiver said, tossing Yumi a splatana wiper. She barely caught it as Shiver pulled out her own.

“You, me, one on one. No killing, just to surrender. You in?” Shiver said, taking a fighting stance. Yumi smiled, thankful she didn’t have to end up killing her favorite celebrity.

“Oh hell yeah i’m in. Just, one more thing. If the rest of deep cut can hear or see us, you mind turning that off? I want this to be personal.”

“Alright, but the same goes for you too then.”

Yumi quickly reached up and turned off her headset as Shiver did the same, both parties hearing frantic yelling on the other side but not particularly caring. Then they looked back up at each other, both waiting for the other to make the first move.

Yumi was shocked when Shiver dashed forward first, barely having enough time to block the attack from above her. Shiver proceeded to keep up an incredible offense, forcing Yumi to focus on blocking each attack, and she noticed she was getting closer to the large ring of ink.

She knew she had to find a way to turn things around, and thankfully she found an opportunity when Shiver threw out an obvious feint, and she quickly dodged to the right and slashed at her, managing to skim Shiver’s shoulder as she also dodged away.

“Wow, you use these often? You’re pretty good at this.” Shiver said, taking a look at the hit to make sure it wasn’t bad.

“A few times, their pretty good for self defense out in the desert.” Yumi said before quickly running at her. Shiver quickly dodged her first swipe, then parried the second and got a full hit to Yumi’s stomach. The girl nearly doubled over, but kept enough balance to block Shivers next hit and dodge backwards.

“Well, you can’t just run in, you have to have a plan of attack.” Shiver said, begining her offense once again in an attempt to shove the girl back. Yumi decided to push back this time, attempting to shove Shiver’s splatana away with hers. The two girls pushed with all their might, leaning in so that their faces were especially close.

“You know from this distance, you look even cuter.” Shiver whispered to Yumi, who was so suprised she lost her grip on her splatana, as it flew out of her hand. Shiver went to make one final slash, but Yumi caught her elbow and twisted her hand, forcing her to drop it and causing her to fall over. As she looked around to get her bearings, she realized she had fallen directly on top of Yumi, and the two stared at each other for a few second. Finally, Shiver decided enough was enough, and she leaned down to kiss Yumi.

Thankfully, Yumi managed to not be too flustered by this and quickly reciprocated. The kiss was a little short for her liking, but still very nice. She smiled at Shiver as she pulled away, both of them blushing, before Shiver coughed and pointed to the headset on Yumi’s head.

“We’ll talk later, okay?”

Yumi nodded, and quickly turned the feed back on her headset, as did Shiver, before Shiver picked up her splatana and threw it to Yumi.

“Oh no, my weapon! I guess you win, I can’t defend myself now!” Shiver said, doing the worst acting she could.

“So you surrender?” Yumi said while giggling to herself.

“Yep, you’re the winner. Vaults all yours. Now, if you excuse me, Master Mega is hungry. Catch ya later!” Shiver said, hopping on Master Mega as they swam away.

“So, you wanna explain what the hell just happened?” Callie said to Yumi over her mic.

“Nope. That was for my eyes only.”

“More like your lips only.”

Yumi tried her best not to respond to that and simply went over to the vault. As she opened it, she whispered to herself.

“Damn right my lips only.”
