The night was quiet and peaceful, only the sound of nocturnal animals and the wind bending the trees were audible. All lit by the pale light of a full moon. Then the alarms sounded, and the peace was broken by gunfire and light shone from lasers and tools of destruction. Three fighters were in a battle royal to the death. All three were Teigu users. Death was certain.
The battle did not last long. One of the Teigu users was a young Imperial guard who was highly skilled but inexperienced. The other two were members of night raid who had been fighting together for years now. The outcome was decided before the first blow was even struck. The guard used an organic Teigu, whom she called Koro, which she had fight the pink haired gun Teigu user of night raid. Sorely underestimating the power of her opponent the guard fought the scissors user alone with only her guns.
The battle seemed to have ended with the teigu Koro shot to a bloody, but quickly regenerating, pulp and the guard with no arms. All of this done without anyone noticing the orange eyes peering out of the brush from beside the clearing.
Another shot rang out. A bullet meant for the pink haired markswoman of Night Raid was blocked by the scissors of the other member. "You alright Mine?" she nods and replies, "Thanks Sheele!"
Both girls smile and then the sound of another bullet rings out in the night and Sheele pitches forward.
Both Girls have shocked expressions on their faces. As She falls Sheele turns back to see the man that had saved her. She catches a glimpse of orange eyes, black hair, and multi colored trench coat before Koro had the man in his Jaws.
Curses were released from the guard for she had missed her target, and the sound of clanking metal and heavy footsteps was drawing near as reinforcements came. Sheele looked up at the half of the man she could see and saw him mouth the words run just as Mine told her to use her trump card. Not taking her eyes off the man, Sheele raised Extase and a blinding white light erupted from the weapon.
The two girls turned and ran straight into the woods in the direction of the hideout with Sheele having a heavy heart, an unknown man giving his life for someone he had never met was foolhardy. And Sheele vowed that she would not forget him for the rest of her days.
