It was to be a quiet night at V's corpo plaza apartment, or so she hoped. Her partner was sound asleep as they snuggled in bed. She ran her hand through Judy's green sidecut mohawk, hoping she would be able to protect her from the calamitous threat that loomed over the horizon.

However, she received a holo call from Panam, one that would ruin her week, and that was putting it mildly.

"Panam?"

"V! They are all dead!"

"Panam?"

"They are all fucking dead!"

"Panam, what the hell?

"A post human attacked our camp, only Mitch and I survived. Cassidy, Carol, Dakota, they're all dead!"

"I've be right there!"

"No, V. I've been taken captive. Please don't follow, they'll only kill you too. They're counting on you to come to my rescue. Please, don't. Save yourself and flee!"

With that, Panam disconnected.

V was absolutely furious at this point, and was made all the more pissy when she received a holo call from an unknown. However, she was taken aback by this caller's resemblance to a certain Valentinos female she know. Despite that, V noted the caller's glowing crimson eyes and knew full well that Mr. B was behind this. "I will end your fucking existence! Now tell me where Panam is otherwise I promise your death will be excruciatingly slow!"

The woman smirked. "I'm counting on it. Konpeki Plaza, let's settle the score there."

V wasted no time, and left Judy without saying a word, hoping this would all be over before her partner awoke.

The rain was coming down heavily at this point. Just the same as when Jackie Welles and her pulled off the heist. It seems her enemy chose this time, and location, on purpose. And that made V's blood boil every bit more.

V rolled up in Jackie's Arch, armed with her Byakko katana and a customized Carnage shotgun dubbed Guts, left by a fallen member of the Edgerunners Crew in front of Arasaka tower. When she arrived, she saw Panam bound with monowire to a chair and ball gagged. The Aldecaldos' leader was screaming over her gag, begging V to turn tail.

Her assailant was floating mid air above the captive, showing her post human prowess.

V scowled. "Richard Night, your thousand years on this planet is far too long, especially for an asshole like you."

"Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not him. Rather, he is my employer."

"Then who the fuck are you?"

"Jacksimar Chavez, the greatest assassin this world has ever seen! And thanks to the very generous Mr. B, I have been granted post human powers!"

V pondered, Why does she look so much like Milena?

Jacksimar was able to read her mind. "Because she is my daughter."

"So you can read minds too? Won't make a difference. I'm going to flatline you right now!" The merc then prepared to strike with Byakko.

V initiated her Sandevistan before using her double jump augment to bring herself closer to her enemy. Before she could strike however, Jacksimar was able to evade with ease.

"Seems like you'll need to overclock your cyberware a bit more if you ever hope to catch me."

V scowled as she struck again, only to have her attack parried by the assassin's bare hand.

The merc was flabbergasted that this woman had the reflexes needed to stop her katana's charge with just a seemingly gentle touch of her fingers.

Jacksimar used her free hand to discharge lightning at the merc, sending her flying back several meters.

V was riddled with pain as she struggled to get to her feet, as if every pain receptor in her body was stimulated by that. She screamed under her breath as she willed herself up.

"I'm impressed, most people die from that." Jacksimar was ready to finish V off with another lightning attack however heavy blows from a nearby chopper caught her off guard.

Johnny Silverhand was piloting the chopper while Goro fired away on the mounted HMG.

Jacksimar used her post human powers to stop the bullets before they could reach her.

Johnny offered criticism to the former Arasaka agent. "Could your aim be any worse, you gonk?"

Goro ignored him as he continued firing away.

Luckily, it was just the distraction needed that allowed V to pierce the female assassin with Byakko, right through the stomach. The pain was enough to have the assassin drop to her knees in pain.

Jacksimar coughed up blood. "I can't believe it, you're still able to move?!"

"Any last words?" V offered, with the intent of snuffing her after.

"Wait, there's something you should know."

"You better not be planning anything," V spat.

"No. I accept my defeat. However, I do hope you will oblige me in one last request."

"That is?"

"I wish to see my daughter, as well as the bastard that seduced her."

"No offense, but I think I'm just going to kill you."

"I am able to pass my powers on to others, just as Richard Night was able to pass them on to me."

After the chopper with Johnny and Goro landed, another chopper came into view, this one carrying Milena and Tobias, piloted by the latter.

After the other chopper landed, they were quick to exit. "You actually managed to take her down?" Tobias was bewildered.

V was equally bewildered. "How did you know I would be here?" She looked to Goro.

Goro replied, "Panam had informed me, hoping I alone could do the deed, thus not endangering you."

V then approached Panam and removed her binds and gag. "Panam, you didn't have to do that."

Panam was in tears. "V, I… I hate that I'm so useless! I'm always dependent on you. Just once, I needed to prove I could handle things without you."

"Chill, Panam. It's okay. Nothing here is your fault. And given what happened with the Aldecaldos…"

Every one looked to Miss Chavez, the reason everyone was gathered in Konpeki at this moment.

Jacksimar couldn't help but crack a smile as she laid eyes on her daughter for the first time in nearly fifteen years. "Milena, it's really you…"

Milena was about to cry as well. "Don't pretend like you give a fuck about me! You had fifteen fucking years to prove that you cared, but instead to chose to indulge in your hobby of murder while your kids were left to fend for themselves! Your son, my brother, Manuel, is dead! BECAUSE OF YOUR NEGLIGENCE!"

Jacksimar was speechless.

Milena requested, "V, just flatline this puta sin valor! She doesn't deserve to live!"

V looked to Panam. Panam unholstered her DR5 revolver and planted the edge of barrel right in the assassin's forehead. "I would love to have you snuff it right here and now, but before I can do that, you're going to help us bring that asshole Richard Night down."

The female assassin showed no emotion. "So be it."

Tobias approached his former output with a look of contempt upon his profile.

Jacksimar gazed upon him. She couldn't help but remember the thrills they shared. The engagements in combat, as well as the wild and crazy marathon sex. A tear rolled down her cheek. "Tobias."

"Jacksimar, I'm not going to pretend that you can be forgiven for what you've done. Hell, that would be like thinking I deserve forgiveness. Neither one of us are good people, mami. We both should not inhabit this world."

"You're right, Tobias, as always."

"Now, about the power Mr. B granted you…"

"Yes, just as he shared his power with me, I can do that same with you. Tobias, it needs to be you. You're the only one capable of killing that monster."

"I understand."

Jacksimar raised her hand, now glowing an unholy crimson. "Accept my gift, mi amor."

Milena grounded her teeth together after hearing her mother calling Tobias her love.

As Tobias took her hand, he could feel a vigor rush through him like no other. He felt intoxicated with the powers through began to flow through him.

A bright cerulean aura began to surround him. "This is amazing! I've never felt so awake in my life!"

After the Mafioso leader was fully charged, Jacksimar sighed. "Well, I've done what I promised. Flatline me now, if you must."

Panam took aim one last time, but screamed as she couldn't bring herself to pull the trigger. "Damn it!"

Milena then pulled out her Nue from her holster and pressed it to her mother's skull. "Puta de mierda! Give me one fucking reason why I shouldn't be the one to end you!" Tears poured down her face before she looked to her husband. "Tobias, mi amor, what should I do?"

Tobias gave his reply, much to the shock and awe of everyone. "Spare her life, Milena. Show her the compassion and empathy she herself is incapable of."

Milena wiped aware her tears as she returned her handgun to its holster. "Of course, papi."

"Wow, Tobias," Jacksimar spat, "You really have gone soft in your old age. What happened to you, mi amor? You were every bit my equal in blood lust, now suddenly you preach compassion? You fucking disgust me!"

The Mafioso leader grinned. "Happy to oblige you then."

Tobias was bewildered at his former rival's outburst. "Tobias, please listen to me! Richard Night isn't just some post human, he's not just some scientific experiment! His existence far predates humanity. He is literally El Diablo!"

He was more than surprised to see her genuinely cry.

"You can't beat him as you are now! Only becoming the man you once were, the pure evil hitman that I fell in love with; The man who only lived to kill, can you defeat him!"

"Jacksimar…"

"Mi amor, I know I made too many mistakes. Especially abandoning my children, but my feelings for you were certainly not that. You are a god amongst men, Tobias Binotto! That is why I fell for you, and only becoming that cruel god once again can you stop El Diablo!"

"Don't listen to her, Papi!" Milena begged. "You've grown so much the past year, don't throw away the progress you've made putting the murderous rage you once had behind you!"

"But what if she's right, Milena? Fighting fire with fire seems to be the only way forward."

"But Papi!"

Tobias sneered before he slapped her. "Shut the fuck up, bitch! What the fuck could you possibly know? Not fucking shit!"

Milena froze in terror, to shocked to retort in any way.

The hitman began to hover above the ground, using his new found post human powers. "You listen well, Milena. You don't know me! Your mother is correct. I am not a human, I am but a demon. I only exist to maim and murder!" After that was said and done, he flew off like Superman, eager to find his prey.

The young Valentino's woman then fell to her knees as she let out her tears.

Jacksimar triumphantly proclaimed, "Now that's the Tobias I remember! God, he makes me so wet!"

Milena growled before tackling her mother, following up with a brutal wave of punches. "YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE FOR THE LAST TIME, PUTA SIN VALOR! I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!"

Before the young Valentino could make good on her promise, both V and Panam worked together to restrain the younger lady.

Silverhand was watching from the cockpit of the chopper as he thought to himself, Now why did these gonks have to break up the cat fight? Just when I was starting to enjoy myself...
