[Naked Crook]

Anaconda watched as Dangerus raised his Hammer in the air, ready to slam it down. Anaconda, still on the ground, reached to his side, and pulled out his Spiker. He began to shoot Dangerus right in the chest, throwing off Dangerus' balance. Anaconda got back to his feet, and holstered his Spiker again. He hefted his Hammer, and roared. As he did, he charged at Dangerus and slammed the sledge of his Hammer right into Dangerus' gut, dropping the Chieftain right to his hands and knees. As he did this, all of Dangerus' Brutes growled, as they knew that Anaconda had just cheated by drawing his Spiker. All of the Brutes had their attention on Anaconda. Nighthawk and Cameron watched this display from the stairwell. Cameron: When do we move? It looks like those two are tearing up the Atrium. Nighthawk spoke up. Nighthawk: He just cheated during a dual. I have never know him to do that. Sure...he kicks a guy when he is down, or slings the proverbial mud...but to cheat during a dual with another Brute? He never does that. Cheating is, more or less, my thing. In any case, all of those Brutes are now squarly focused on Anaconda. When Brutes focus on something...the rest of the world just kinda...fades away. Trust me on this one. Stay close, move fast...head for the Sub-Basement! Nighthawk nodded to Cameron. Both men bolted from the Stairwell, and headed for the Sub-Basement, totally ignored by the rest of the Brutes in the Atrium. Anaconda stood over Dangerus, but took a few steps back. Anaconda: Cheating...a human trick I have learned, begrudgingly, to appreciate. It serves its purpose from time to time.
