Here it is — the showdown between Sapphire Angel and Mantis! Can the superheroine overcome him this time, or will he have more tricks up his sleeve to ensnare her again?
Woohoo! Time to check Mantis off the list.....maybe. Though.....he’ll probably get free in time to join the final fight, knowing him. I’ve read about Sapphire Angel frequently taking on multiple opponents at the same time, but while part of me was hoping she’d fight both Nassar and Mantis at the same time---taking out two birds with one stone, per se---there’s still the fact that although there was only two people this time.....one of them was Mantis. But I also realize Nassar hasn’t fought Sapphire as much as Mantis has, and thus Mantis is more experienced. Using powder, rope, and a bolas, though.....definitely didn’t see those coming! The powder, maybe, because we used a gas to neutralize Sapphire in the elevator, but.....dang. Mantis is a tricky one. Feels SO good to have him out of the way after the elevator fight that resulted in Sapphire being left at Mantis and Valik’s mercy (or lack thereof).
I don’t know whether Nassar was being a coward or being smart by leaving Mantis behind to deal with Sapphire. Mantis is already a tough dude as is; I could’ve probably seen Sapphire devoting her attention and focus to Mantis while Nassar could have struck with decisive blows every now and then without getting too involved. Or he could’ve thrown stuff at her. But we all know Sapphire’s a force to be reckoned with if you don’t manage to get the drop on her. Wonder if Valik will suffer a similar fate for how he treated Sapphire; he does have a son, though, so he needs to still be around for him in some capacity. Still waiting on that Noctecite and how it’s going to be used.....something tells me it’s going to stop Sapphire’s assault in its tracks. But Mantis already tried that with the rope and the bolas, and we all saw how that went.
We could’ve also dealt with Nassar, but didn’t. And with Mantis out of the way, we now have Amal Nassar, Mark Devlin, Roy Valik, Richard Turner, Steve Hains, Gregor, and Senator Chappelle......Sapphire better watch out for Valik, though. If it took her three tries to get past the “brawn”......what about the “brains”? I don’t recall if Valik has any physical fighting ability, but his intellect is nigh-unmatched, except for Stanley’s and (maybe) Conner’s, at least somewhat.
