With his buddies occupied, the other henchman fired at Tylix, his panic sending the shot wide. Tylix ducked low and pushed the hostage away from the line of fire, eliciting a muffled shout of surprise as she stumbled away.

Tyler dashed towards the gunner, gathering the ropes on her hands as she ran, her slime coated body making it easy to slide the ropes around. The gunner managed to fire another shot, grazing Tylix’s arms, but it didn’t slow her down. Once within arm’s reach, she swung the coils of heavy rope towards his face.

“Fffuuu…”, THWAK! The gunner swore as he barely managed to block the heavy ropes, but it still connected with his head, knocking the gun away from his hand.

A few steps away, the large henchman was still struggling to get up, dazed from having been tossed away like a doll. Beneath him, the smaller henchman screamed at him to move aside, his face bloody from taking the fall head on.

Besides them, a few more punches could be heard, before their buddy was sent flying to land on top of them. The combined weight knocked all the air out from the smaller henchman, ending his tirade of expletives. With that, the 3 of them unanimously decided that they had enough of the fight, and tapped out.

Artist’s Note:

Quite often you see henchmen going down after one or several, non-fatal hits from the hero. I’m guessing they just figured the fight isn’t worth dying over, and getting “knocked out” is a good excuse to exit the fight quietly.
