"Stop right there, bastard!"
The Dragon Killer turned his head at that voice, seeing what must have been something out of a nightmare for him... K-Sha, the girl who had wounded him before, now flying after him in a transformed state... (Shit! I forgot about her Gold Form!) He immediately began swerving this way and that as the Gold Third member opened fire with her twin machine guns...
"You're not getting away this time!" K-Sha yelled as she tried to aim her firearms in Tori's direction.
"Nah nah, can't get me!" the black-haired boy taunted. "Can't hit the broad side of a barn!"
K-Sha growled, before suddenly getting an alert on her eyepiece, a smirk spreading over her face. "Oh yeah? How do you know my gunfire isn't just a distraction?"
"Distraction?!" Tori slowed the slightest bit...
(Now!) Suddenly a beam of energy came from nowhere, grazing one of the Dragon Killer's rocket boots, causing it to malfunction and sending Tori spiraling out of control!
"K-Shaaaaaaaa...!" the boy screamed in rage as he fell and vanished among the high-rise buildings. Not long after, Black Sister came flying up.
"Nice shot, Uni," K-Sha complimented. "He never saw it coming..."
"Well, that's part of being a good sniper!" the HDD CPU Candidate boasted. "We better go after him, though... Noire's still en route..."
"Right," the Gold Third member nodded as she checked her eyepiece, searching for Tori Ryuusei's vitals... "Ah-ha! Got him! He's... looks like he crashed on the that abandoned apartment complex there," she pointed.
"OK!" Black Sister nodded. "How about I come up from the bottom, and you go in from the top? He shouldn't have any way to escape that way, now that his boots are kaput..."
"Alright," K-Sha agreed as she flew toward the roof, while Black Sister jetted down to the bottom floor...

Abandoned Apartment Complex
Top Floor
Unfortunately, the door from the roof had been to narrow for K-Sha's weapons apparatus to fit through, forcing her to abandon it on the rooftop... but that was fine with her, she didn't think she'd need it anyway. As she descended into the dimly-lit hallway, she checked her eyepiece, tracking the vital signs of her target...
"Wow, K-Sha," Tori's voice spoke from the darkness, "you sure are persistent. You really wanna put me down, huh? Just like you tried to do to Lady Noire herself..."
Refusing to take the bait, the former mercenary instead asked, "Tell me something, Tori... what was it that made you start killing? What drove you over the edge?"
A chilling laugh in response. "You fool... you think I just decided out of the blue to start killing people? I'd been killing animals and even some monsters long before then. But that got boring fast... they were just too dumb and predictable. I just wanted a bigger challenge..."
"And look where that's gotten you," K-Sha retorted as she tried to suppress a shudder of disgust, "hiding for your life in an abandoned building, with a former soldier and a goddess both closing in on your position. And in case you think the shadows are protecting you, my eyepiece shows me exactly where you are..."
"Not for long," the Dragon Killer taunted, as something suddenly slid out of the darkness across the floor towards K-Sha who instinctively backed up a few paces as she trained her guns on the object... a cell phone, which flashed three big letters on its screen- EMP.
The brunette's eyes went wide just before the device went off, K-Sha recoiling from the electromagnetic pulse, her eyepiece sparking, showing static and then going dark. "Damn it!"
"Heh, amazing what mobile devices can do nowadays, isn't it?" Tori's voice echoed.
"My guns aren't effected by EMPs," K-Sha shot back defiantly. "You think you have me blinded... but I can still hear your footfalls!" With that, she stepped into the pitch-black room and opened fire with both barrels, briefly seeing her quarry rolling away from the shots, turning to try and compensate...
Suddenly there was a crash as K-Sha's gunfire shot through a window as well as the weak wooden planks that covered it, causing sunlight to shine into the room. However, as the ex-yandere looked around, she couldn't see Tori anywhere. (I could have sworn he was in here-!) Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted as she felt herself grabbed from behind, before being flipped hard onto the ground, her guns popping from her grasp. Looking up, she saw Tori bearing down on her with a large curved knife-
Which failed to find its target as K-Sha quickly rolled away, drawing a combat knife from under her skirt as she righted herself, looking Tori directly in the eye.
"And now," the Dragon Killer growled, "I correct the mistake I made three years ago!"
"That's *my* line!" K-Sha retorted as she charged.
The two clashed, the sound of steel clanging as they deflected each other's strikes, along with a few thrown punches that were hastily aimed and missed. But it was Tori who drew first blood by successfully landing a slash across K-Sha's chest above her bosom, causing the mercenary to recoil in pain.
"Gotcha," Tori grinned in imminent triumph.
"I'm not... dead yet!" K-Sha growled as she recovered, taking her stance once more. "A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal, you know!"
"And yet it still doesn't stand a chance against a dragon," Tori taunted as they again approached each other.
K-Sha utilized a more defensive strategy this time, holding back slightly as her assailant tried to press the offensive, only for K-Sha's close-combat training to be put to good use as she easily evaded and deflected his slashes and punches, forcing the Dragon Killer to take a step back to reassess his strategy.
(Now!) K-Sha thought as she quickly switched the knife from her right hand to her left, allowing her to grab Tori's knife arm and hold it out of the way as she struck with her knife, stabbing her enemy in the chest once, then again, before pressing a button at the base of the knife, causing the Dragon Killer to receive a severe electric shock. K-Sha then followed up with a kick that knocked the curved knife out of Tori's hand and into the air...
"K...Sha...!" Tori cried as he staggered, trying to get his paralyzed body to move... But to no avail, as K-Sha caught Tori's knife in her hand, before thrusting straight through his head beneath his chin, the tip of the knife erupting from the top of his skull. The brunette took a step back as she watched Tori collapse to his knees, his expression frozen with shock and rage, before finally falling onto his front side, dead.
K-Sha let her breath out in a rush as her transformation reverted. "Mission... complete. Thank you, Adrian... Peach..." she grunted as she staggered back to the doorway, favoring her slash wound, only to see someone else step into view. "Uni? Is that you...?"
"Not quite," the silhouette answered as she stepped into view, revealing the form of HDD Black Heart herself.
"Noire...!" K-Sha gasped in joy, as she stumbled and fell into the goddess' welcoming embrace, resting her head on her chest. "I'm so glad... you're here..."
"Seems I'm a bit late, actually," Black Heart responded as she regarded the bloody corpse of Tori Ryuusei, wincing internally. "Looks like you got him. Good work, K-Sha."
"Mm-hmm..." K-Sha nodded. "It's over, Noire... it's finally over. The dragon... has been slain." With that, she let herself lapse into blissful sleep...
To be concluded...
