3 minutes earlier. [C] - "What's it now, Evtoria?" [C] - "I've managed to pinpoint a leak for one of your targets. [C] - "Which one?" [C] - "Megami Duvet. One of my girls were spending time on Mars, Envia Dome. They happen to spot Megami Duvet during their time there. I believe all is said easy if you deal with her first." [C] - "Yes. I was going to go after her first anyway. If I die, then at least it's not with the embarrassment of being so close to my goal... I'm also more prepared in the beginning. Right, thank you. Check the Envia papers in a few hours!" His ship would land in a dock a few blocks away from Megami, soon following outward in his full gear. To hunt and kill Megami, meant that civilians would also need to be harmed. It was really crowded today. This only made him think about the time Ken tried to kill him here. He sighed, looking for a way around this. While he was pretty heartless when on-the-job, he still cared for civilian welfare. Noticing a decently tall building, he vanish-stepped onto the roof - overlooking the crowded street behind an air vent. Checking the hologram Evtoria gave him, he'd summon HYPERVOLVER and began to look at faces in the crowd to see if he an recognize her. It happened fairly quick, and he smirked. "There she is..." Rakoji would spot her through the sights. "Shoot straight and stay low... You'll be fine... she's not as strong as you are... She's fighting someone else... just kill her..." He'd aim again just for good measure this time. Shooting another shot now that she was pinned at a wall. It was fairly easy to shoot because Jumkou and Megami's fight dispersed all the crowd and left the area empty. Megami quickly got out of the wall and shouted. "SOUL-RELEASE!" Now with her uncapped Soul-Energy she summoned her signature weapon, throwing a rock at the laser and destroying it. "..." Since Megami was distracted, Jumkou took this moment to grab Flynnigan and leave. "Ah, wait a sec-! Let me go-!" "It's okay, I'll explain later!" "Huh-? Wh-!?" Megami noticed. "HEY!" But she couldn't run behind Jumkou and grab the kid, because of the second assassin. She'd look at him. "Fuck..." Flynnigan was frozen, the shock from what happened at his village returned in the situation. He was helpless, and he was dragged away. But that wouldn't stop him, as he tried to stand his ground firmly. "Let... me go!" Jumkou lost grip of him and tried to grab his hand again. "We have no time, damnit! Listen to me!" "I'm not going anywhere with you, and I'm not leaving Miss Duvet alone, either." Flynnigan said, shaking his head. "She can handle herself! Just let me save you! Please!" "No!" Flynnigan ran back. "God, why are you so stubborn!?" Jumkou followed suit. Megami was still standing on the spot, waiting for the next move. Given that Rakoji had hidden behind an air vent, she couldn't pinpoint his location. "They are up there, behind that air vent!" Flynnigan shouted. That was scary. How did he know to point out where exactly Rakoji stood? Was it his innate powers? Or was he just a really lucky guess? "What?" Megami looked at him, realizing he just came back. Upon having exposed Rakoji's location, she Soul-Blasted the air vent, as well as sensing Rakoji's presence in the meantime. .:. He's... right? .:. This kid, despite not knowing about Souls, Soul-Wielders and any other phenomena in the galaxy, somehow managed to guess from... nothing? .:. How did I know that... .:. Flynnigan wondered. Rakoji would be flung off the air vent and hit a building. "Ugh! Damnit...!" Law Enforcement of the Envia Dome would set up checkpoints around the surrounding streets and airports. Until the situation calmed down - it was just them. All police are sane enough to not interfere with Soul-Wielder business and will not get in the way. Rakoji dropped down from the building and into the empty street, standing a solid 50 meters away. Flynnigan would run and hide behind cover, while Jumkou was monitoring the situation from a furthe
