"Curious. Your hatred for the plant is obvious. Yet, your contradictions are hard to ignore, no?", called out a rather tall and humanoid Cofagrigus. Her mouth curled into a mocking smile as she looked down at Urami. "You called this Grohl a coward. A wimp. Yet he nearly managed to slaughter everyone, save you. Is underestimating him a wise thing to do? You are strong, but this plant obviously doesn't play by whatever excuses you use to nurse your injured ego."
Urami got in the empress' face, eyes wide to the lids with rage. "Oh listen to this bitch. I doubt you know a thing about combat. When you fight you don't use some thot tactics that make you look weak. You fight them upfront and with whatever skills you have! Not using cheap shit no one in their right mind would use! I doubt you have even seen combat, just wearing that armor for show. You are just gas no flame."
To Haines everything the swampert said was impressively wrong. For starts, fighting never constituted having to fight with ones own natural abilities. She had the rifles hanging on her wall as proof of that, as well as some of the different types of explosives that emitted cryogenic chemicals and dragon energy that she herself could not naturally use.
Second, Urami also seemed to forget that he got hired by Chung because he managed to ambush Renard by attacking him from underground. Renard was then frozen solid and shattered him instantly. That in itself would constitute a 'thot tactic' whatever that was. He also brought Gwen into their base by ambushing her when she was with Brittany and Lenox, though I doubt he wanted to have that acknowledged.
However, his biggest blunder was his assessment of the phantom before him. IF he knew who he was talking to he would not have just said half of what he just told her. Baozhai was, for a lack of a better term, way more familiar with war than what either of them did. Even if her empire failed, she still could end Urami with little problem. She knew that if the two were to fight it would go badly...for Urami. This display had gone on long enough and she had to step in.
“Urami. That’s enough. The person you are speaking to is a former empress of a kingdom long ago. She’s seen her fair share of combat, far, far more than either of us. So I would suggest backing off, not unless you want to wind up cleaved in two.”
Scoffing, the swampert turned his head away and grumbled. After stepping away he leaned against the wall to try and save some face, but glaring at Bao.
“I do apologize for that, but I would request you don’t antagonize the help. Though you are not wrong. Grohl is actually someone we need a contingency for and while I have some ideas, I need more reconnaissance.”
