"Why did you capture her?"
Cannon asked.
"Actually, why did you even come here in the first place? What's so important that the Coulbourns want?"

-
As he continued to do this however, he saw the cliff face ahead. He would have to face Diana if he wanted to get out of this.
-
Once he was behind Diana, or at least thought he was, he swung around to the top of the bridge and hurled the arrowhead at her, aiming for her spine should she be facing away.
-
His plan involved a lot of what ifs, and as he flipped up into the icy bridge Diana turned to meet the arrow head. She shot out a small blast of ice and it froze and fell to her feet. "You're pathetic." She insulted as she raised her fists up which emitted the white frost.
-
"Coming from you? That's hilarious." He dove at her, attempting to tackle her before she could finish ger attack.
-
She gripped Cannons shoulders as he contacted her. He tackled her into the boards of the bridge and she let out an audible [i]oof![/i] as she smacked her head on the boards. But, Cannon then felt the terrible cold that came over him. His shoulders became frosty and ice like and he could hardly move them.
-
He strained his augmentations, forcing his arm up and bringing his fist down in a powerful punch that could shatter bones.
-
Before his punch could land on her face, he was sent flying back with a powerful blast of cold wind. He went through the air and crashed onto the bridge as Diana gripped the ropes to pull herself up.
-
Cannon hit the bridge and used the momentum of his flight to roll into a croich before springing at her again, another arrow in his hand. He moved so fast it was merely a blur.
-
As Diana gripped the bridge, the ropes suddenly became an ice cold blue. Then, the entire bridge became ice like it was being corrupted. This caused Can to slip and slide across the bridge and as he did Diana leapt over him as he sled to the side of the bridge opposite of that the way he came. "Having trouble Canny? Too cold for you?"
-
He growled in response, digging his heels into the ice to keep him from sliding more. He'd had training for this sort of combat though, and launched himself at her again. This time he deliberately slid forward, controlling his movements.
-
Diana got on a knee and raised her left hand forward as if it was gripping something, and she held her right hand back in a similar fashion. Then, a spear of ice formed in-between her hands which Cannon was sliding directly towards...
-
Using his enhanced reflexes, he brought his arm up and smashed it into the side of the spear as hard as he could, attempting to either shatter it or knock it to the side as he brough the arrow up to thrust.
-
As his fist shattered into the tip of the spear, which made it explode like glass which cut and skinned hand, he was able to get past the weapon. His hand went forward and the arrowhead impaled Diana in the stomach. She let out a cry of pain as the strike sent her flying back and sliding across the bridge.
-
Cannon's left arm was now a bleeding mess, not to mention frost bitten. The good news was the frost bite was slowing the blood flow. He advanced on Diana, fists clenched, ready to finish her off.
-
Diana grabbed onto the ropes and pulled herself up, her tight outfit pouring blood from the fresh wound. She gritted her teeth as her eyes became a bright ice blue. "You son of a BITCH. I'LL KILL YOU!" She screamed as she raised her hands. Four ice spears came up around her and she threw her hands forward, which sent all the spears flying towards Cannon.
-
The Mando charged forward and dove onto his back at the last second to slide under the spears, hurling another arrow head as he did.
-
Diana then quickly sent out a burst of ice, which coated the arrow like a ball. As the ball approached her she slapped it off the bridge as she jumped and slid towards Cannon, a double edged shortsword forming in both of her hands which emitted frost and mist.
-
Seeing her coming, Cannon rolled off the bridge, catching himself on the ropes as she slid past.
-
She put her right foot forward which stopped her advance. She leapt off the ice and onto her feet as she twirled her blades in her hands.
-
To Cannon, she was almost in slow motion as he luanched hinself at her using the rope as a push off point. He timed his impact to be as the sword blade was pointed away from him.
-
The impact hit her in her chest and sent her sliding back across the bridge. She cursed as she held her chest, then looked at Cannon as she was taking in her breath with pure hatred in her eyes.
-
He didn't give her a chance to recover, launching at her again.
-
However this time, Cannon realized too late that this was a feint. Diana quickly got on one knee and cut across Can's chest as he got close. Blood spurted from his skin as he flew over her and crashed on to the bridge.
-
He roared in frustration, the cold having already numbed the pain, and rolled to his feet. He hurled an arrowhead at her back.
-
Diana threw her blade up and be arrow head harmlessly [i]pinged![/i] off her left blade. She chuckled at Cannons attempt to attack her with the same trick.
