"Fuck you!"

One last man's head hit the ground in an explosion of blood then, and at once everything in the room seemed to calm down. That was the last one, and Travis could see the restroom in sight.

That finished this bloody path through the Medical Mechanica building and so, after a quick save, Travis Touchdown was ready to get one last kill - on the only person in this building there was actually a need to kill, but too late for that now.

So, fresh after healing up and recharging his beam katana, Travis was all ready to move on.

"There you are. . ."

That voice belonged to a woman, and Travis heard it as he entered the next room. He couldn't immediately see her, though.

Still he had no hesitations about shouting out, "Wherever you're hiding, the second I see you I'm going to cut your ass to ribbons. Running all the way out to Japan did nothing but make me waste my time following you." Of course, there was also plenty of nice memorabilia he bought on an aside during the trip, but there was no need to mention that.

"Oh, I'm not hiding. . ."

There was the faint sound of an engine then, and while Travis looked around for a moment for the source of it he quickly saw it - flying through the nearest window.

Glass shattered all over the floor then, as a yellow Vespa touched down on the ground. It was all he could manage to roll out of the way of it, but he still caught the blunt end of a guitar to the gut from its rider.

"Ha!"

And then said rider threw off her helmet. She was an odd looking girl - large, catty looking golden eyes and pinkish, orangeish hair were the most noticeable features, but even her outfit looked unusual. Of course, Travis had already come to accept there was no one sane in this business.

As he held his stomach and rose to his feet, Travis commented, "That's one hell of an entrance."

"Uh huh. . ."

Grinning as she spoke, she went on to say, "Haruhara Haruko. Pleasure."

There was a silence for a moment then, until after a minute Travis asked, "Well, are you going to get off the scooter so we can fight or what?"

"Heh. No, don't really think so." The girl was still smiling in a way that was almost unsettlingly over-the-top, as she went on to say, "Why give up my advantage?"

"Yeah, that's fair."

"I don't play fair when it comes to Medical Mechanica. I want to kill 'em all anyway, why play nice about it?"

That did throw Travis off for a minute. After studying the girl for a second, he asked, "Wait, you aren't with the UAA?"

"The what?"

"Hmph. Well, all the same. . ." Travis lifted his beam katana into an offensive position, warning the girl, "If you're getting in the way of my kill, I've got no problems adding you to the list of victims."

"Hey, if you wanna get in my way. . ." Her guitar lowering to her side, Haruko began to rev her engine, "I'll just do to you what I do to the rest!"
