Was originally planning on saving this for a double release but I got lazy with Part 3 so instead of making y'all wait any longer I might as well put this out now. Sorry for taking so long.

Chapter 5: [Kings & Queens] Part 2

POV: Diavolo

Daivolo explodes through the window along with a trail of blood and fire following in his wake as he soars through the air at great speeds! The Don is covered in burn marks both on his body and especially on his arms! [King Crimson] had managed to block [Killer Queen]'s pebble bomb at the last second but that didn't mean he got away scot free. Even with [King Crimson]'s above average durability the sheer power behind that explosion was more than enough to overcome his defenses. Both his arms are now badly mutilated! Kira had held nothing back in order to rid himself of this new threat as quickly and efficiently as possible!

Despite his grevious wounds, Diavolo quickly composed himself. The searing pain from his arms was the least of his problems as the propellant force that sent him flying was quickly reaching its climax and was soon to be replaced by gravity dragging him to his inevitable demise! 'DAMN IT! I refuse to die this such a humiliating way!' Diavolo wasn't about to go out in such a stupid way! At least not again so soon! Diavolo gritted his teeth hard as he prepared for what he was about to do next. Just as his momentum ran out and his body began to fall, he shouted

"[KING CRIMSON]!

His most trusted partner once again makes itself known by materializing above Diavolo, reaching out its paralucent white hand and tightly gripping down on Diavolo's injured arm. The mafioso visibly cringes at the pain but endures it regardless. [King Crimson] then does a 180 spin and launches Diavolo towards the roof as hard as it could! As soon as the motion was complete and it's hand left Diavolo, the embodiment of rage dematerialized and reappeared at the edge of the roof grabbing onto the side with one hand and reaching out with the other!

Diavolo once again soars through the sky but this time it wasn't towards his death but to his Stand! Grabbing onto [King Crimson]'s hand with his own, his Stand once again launches it's master further up into the air and onto the safety of the roof! The Don crashed heavily against the floor of the roof, injuring his head in the process due to him not being able to use his arms to help break the fall.

Ignoring the pain, Diavolo hastily picks himself up as blood starts dripping down his face and onto the warm pavement. "Damn bastard almost got me!" He cursed. That was too close! Despite his caution the enemy's Stand ability was far more potent than he had expected! The explosion from that tiny pebble alone was enough to rival the detonation of an entire vehicle! But regardless of his opponent's ability being above his expectations, at least he got some useful information out of that brief encounter.

'So the guy can create explosions huh? If I had to guess then his ability likely requires a medium in order to take effect' Dozens of thoughts passed through Diavolo's mind as he took this moment of reprieve to reorient himself from what just happened. 'If his power was as simple as creating explosions anywhere he liked then there wouldn't have been a need for the rock, he could have just ended me then and there' but clearly Kira didn't do that. 'Then in that case it has mean his ability is limited to touch!' Diavolo guessed that in order for Kira to do what he does he need to come in contact with an item of some kind! And that wasn't the end of it! It MUST be an item!

'If just a simple touch was enough then he would have turned [King Crimson] into a bomb instead of resorting to outside assistance' during the brief moment where their Stands exchanged blows there was more then enough opportunities for Kira to kill him but it never happened, so Diavolo can safely assume [Killer Queen]'s ability is at least ineffective against Stands. 'As for actual bodily contact I'd rather not find out'

Now that Diavolo has a good idea of how [Killer Queen]'s ability works, he is at a solid advantage! His opponent has already revealed his cards while he still had his! 'Although I still need to figure out his limitations' Like any stand ability, there had to be a downside. Take his [King Crimson] for example. He could only skip so far ahead or predict only 10 seconds into the future. [Killer Queen] must have a limit to how many bombs it can create! 'But how am I going to figure that ou-!'

Before Diavolo could finish his string of thought, he caught something from the corner of his eye. It looked like... a PAPER AIRPLANE!? Fully turning around Diavolo confirmed it was indeed a paper airplane! But before he could question what the hell a paper airplane was doing here it had already closed in on the Mafioso!

*KA-BOOOM!*

Diavolo is once again engulfed in flames! Luckily he got off a bit better this time as the explosion wasn't as close to him as the last one was! But neither the less he was still hurt! His long pink hair is now a third of its original length while the coattails on his amethyst leggings is on fire! Diavolo however, ignored all that and immediately summoned [King Crimson] to defend himself. Scanning his surroundings in case there were more of the paper airplanes flying around. Before long his eyes where quickly drawn to a certain spot!

At the roof entrance a decent distance away from his spot stood a blond man sporting a fancy purple suit while leaning on the doorframe. This was Yoshikage Kira! The infamous serial killer of Morioh! Despite facing down the most feared Drug Kingpin in Italian history the Japanese man showed not even the slightest amount of fear! In fact, he even seemed bored! Like he was forcing himself to do a chore nobody else wanted to do!

"How did you get here so fast?" Diavolo asked while putting up his guard. 'He shouldn't have gotten here so fast!' He thought. 'We were at least 4 floors down. It should have taken him alot longer to get here!' Had he lost track of time? Unlikely! There was no where he of all people wouldn't be able to keep an accurate measure of time! 'Well regardless of how he got here it seems I won't be getting out without a fight' Diavolo had originally planned to take the spare time he had to set up an ambush. After all sneak attacks are what he specialized in! Head on confrontations weren't his forté, even if he possessed an physical advantage againest his opponent, it's better to stick to what he's good at rather than bet on a fair fight!

Kira let out a small smirk "Oh? Why thank you for the compliment. I always was the fastest runner from my school, whether people knew it or not"

Diavolo's glare intensified. 'Was he mocking him?' The Don could feel his anger raising but immediately squashed it before it can take root. 'No! This isn't the time for this! I need to keep a rational mind! He's clearly trying to agitate me! I can't fall for his trap!' As Diavolo was trying to calm himself down lest he does something stupid again, his hair suddenly started flowing! And it wasn't because of the wind!

'[Epitaph]?' He wasn't expecting his sub Stand to activate at a time like this. But then again, he never really had full control over his premonition abilities in the first place, so it coming and going as it pleases is really nothing new. Either way Diavolo wasn't one to stare the gift horse in the mouth, at least not after what happened with Giorno and the Arrow. Quickly deciding not to waste this heaven gifted chance to gain an advantage he jumped at the opportunity!

'Show me the path forward [Epitaph]!' Diavolo shouted in his mind as his hair continued to wave more and more energetically until an image of the future is was revealed! Unfortunately the outcome was anything but good. The image [Epitaph] had revealed to its master was of Diavolo being thrown into the air by an explosion coming from behind him! As soon as Diavolo saw this he instinctively turned around only to be faced with yet another paper airplane rapidly approaching him. Knowing there was no way he was going to be able to outrun something as light as a piece of paper especially on a windy day like this, he had no other choice but to summon [King Crimson] to his defence once again! Thanks to [Epitaph]'s warning he had managed to block the explosion this time, but that didn't mean the force of the explosion was any less as he was still violently thrown into the air regardless if he managed to block the attack or not! Crushing onto the ground back first Diavolo coughed up blood both from the impact of the fall and his ruptured organs!

*tsk* "I almost got him with that one, I suppose should give him some credit for his area awareness" Kira's plan wasn't simply to piss Diavolo off by mocking him but to also act as an distraction while his newest technique does it's work. 'Too bad it didn't quite work out as I had envisioned, oh well' So what if the airplane bomb didn't manage to do the job? He could always make more and harass his opponent until he finally succumbs. 'Not the fastest way to deal with an enemy but at least its effective'

As Kira was thinking this to himself he casually pulls out a notebook from inside his jacket's inner breast pocket. He then rips out a page and proceeds to fold a paper airplane without a care in the world. He wasn't in a rush as Diavolo was still struggling to recover from his last attack. Sure he blocked it but the aftershock had arguably done more damage to his organs then the explosion itself as evident by the constant blood streaming out of his mouth and his inability to even stand up properly. A slightly stronger than average gust of wind would be enough to knock the heavily injured Mafioso over, so there was no wonder why Kira felt no pressure to hasten his origami work!

A short while later Kira is finally done. He had not only folded one paper airplane in his spare time but dozens! And as causally as ever, Kira lazily summoned forth [Killer Queen] who took half a pile of paper airplanes from his master. Kira and [Killer Queen] then both set their individual piles of folded paper loose in sync, causing a rain of airplanes to descend upon Diavolo!

The King of Italy however was still too unstable to properly make use of his legs and was thus forced to watch as the entire airspace of the skyscraper is covered in bomb planes. 'Damn it! I need to move!' He was in serious danger right now! Not only could he barely move but he had no idea about the limits of his opponent's ability! For all he knows once all those paper airplanes reached him they would all symotinously explode at once! Not even [King Crimson] would be able to survive that let alone a human like him!

Just as the first paper airplane was about to make contact, Diavolo ignored all his wounds and made a dive roll under it! The plane had just barely missed him as it exploded! Its shockwaves worsening his already grevious injuries! Coughing up even more blood then before Diavolo scanned his surroundings in case another plane comes for him, but to his dismay no planes came! Why is he worried about there being no planes? Shouldn't it be a good thing there are no more bombs? No. That's not it!

Diavolo's eyes widened in realization! The planes weren't meant to kill him! It was meant to corner him! Diavolo looked everywhere around him, in every direction was a paper airplane flying around in circles! He had been trapped in a minefield of planes. There was nowhere he could go without making contact with at least one of these aerial menaces!

'I see... so that's how he's controlling those planes!' Diavolo thought. He had at least figured out one of Kira's tricks! 'He's using the natural wind currents that are traveling in between the skyscrapers to predict the possible flight paths of the paper airplanes, by letting the planes surf on this current they can practically fly anywhere without ever stopping' Normally such a technique had many limitations. The biggest limit being simply running out of wind to surf on but this is completely meaningless in their current environment! They're so high above ground level the wind will never stop! At best it would be slightly less windy then usual!

Yet despite this revelation he still had no idea how he could get himself out of this. There were just too many paper airplanes flying around! 'Wait a minute. There weren't this many before!' Quickly whipping his head over to where Kira was he spotted the serial killer ripping out pages from his notebook. He hadn't stopping folding airplanes all this time! 'Shit, at this rate if I don't act now I wouldn't even be able to move so much as an inch without running into a bomb!'

Diavolo was starting to panic. He's running out of time. If he doesn't get out of this encirclement now he would never get the chance to later! 'But how am I supposed to get out? There's too many of them flying around for me to safely make it out especially with my current condition' With no other choice Diavolo decided the best thing to do right now was to try and recover as much as possible. He needed to stall for time till he could use his legs again! But in order for this plan to work he would have to reveal [King Crimson]'s ability. His plan was to use Time Skip in order to avoid as many bombs as possible. He would use [Epitaph] since its ability is a better fit for the current circumstances but its power to predict the future is inconsistent. He can't use it repeatedly!

Now with a plan in mind, Diavolo quietly bids his time and prepares himself to dodge like he's never dodged before! The paper airplanes now closes in on the Don. One of the planes breaks out from the crowd and approaches Diavolo from a tricky angle but this time the Mafioso was prepared!

"[King Crimson]!"

The floor cracks apart and the world goes dark, leaving just him and the airplanes. Time slowed to a crawl for everything except him. In this void where time has lost its meaning he was invincible! Infallible! So long as he was here no one could touch him. Here he was a King! A GOD! But atlas no matter how invincible he was in this timeless void he cannot change the fact that he could not walk. Knowing his time skip would not last forever, he quickly moved out of the line of fire. Well, at least as much his cripple body allowed before ending the skip.

*FWOOSH!*

The plane had just barely missed him!

"Huh?" Kira looked perplexed. He had been keeping his eye on Diavolo this whole time. After all he wasn't dumb enough leave his enemy completely alone while he played with his origami. But still, from his perspective it looked as Diavolo was completely helpless on the ground. A fish on the cutting board, so imagine his surprise when the Mafioso whom he presumed to be as good as dead suddenly mustered up the energy to dodge at the last possible moment!

"A dead man's hurrah" Kira whispered. He wasn't concerned. From his point of view this was simply Diavolo's last struggle. It wouldn't last long, he was sure on it. He had seen similar scenes play out too many times now. More often than not his victims would lash out at him once he had them cornered. While dangerous to underestimate a corned rat, the risk has always been manageable for Kira.

Diavolo on the other hand could not afford to be as care free as Kira. This was just the beginning. He may have dodged one plane but what of the others? He had no time to concider anything else! He needed to focus! And so he did. Diavolo glanced around just in time to catch other paper airplane aiming for him!

"[King Crimson]!"

Diavolo once again activated his time skip and narrowly dodged yet another plane!
But it wasn't over yet! The plane he had just dodged exploded some distance away and the shockwave from its detonation blew the surrounding planes out of order! With their flight paths now in chaos, Diavolo's job of dodging has gotten a million times harder! Diavolo had almost despaired at this but he did not give up! He was Diavolo! The King of Italy! No obstacle will stump him! Not Bucciarati, not Giorno and certainly not a bunch of paper airplanes! He will overcome this challenge and come out on top as he always have!

Having boosted his own confidence enough, he redoubled his efforts to great success! But as good as this temporary boost in perform was, it was in the end, temporary. He was running out of stamina quickly. He couldn't spam the time skip for much longer! This back and forth continued for another 2 minutes before Diavolo finally begun to harvest the fruits of his labour. 'Yes! I can feel my legs again!' Diavolo celebrated in his mind yet despite having regained his ability to walk he chose not to get up. 'I need to keep this charade up' He thought. He knows he had regained his ability to walk but Kira doesn't! He could use the serial killer's lack of knowledge against him! If he could get a bit closer and then break into a sprint at the last yard he can probably catch the Blond man off guard and end him with one decisive blow!

On top on that he had figured out the last puzzle piece to [Killer Queen]'s ability! Diavolo had not devoted all of his attention to dodging. That would have been stupid! If he did that, at best he would have prolonged his demise. He would never have escaped! During short of time in between each plane exploding he had been observing Kira. Diavolo had managed to notice one key detail! He only ever released another volley of planes strictly after one individual plane had already detonated!

'He can only make one bomb at a time!' That has to be it! That would explain why he didn't just trigger all of the airplanes at once when they had him surrounded. He couldn't! They were just decoys meant to hide the actual threat! And it worked! This simple tactic had fooled Diavolo for a good while! 'But now that I've figured it out it won't work again!'

'Hmm.. is that it?' Kira thought. He had been watching Diavolo this whole time. By now he has already figured out the Don wasn't simply "Dodging" his creations. As well as he tried to hide it Kira had noticed the inconsistencies in their movements. 'Whenever one of my bombs get close to him I'm struck with this feeling of wrongness' It gave him a feeling of deja vu. It was almost as if he was doing chores on autopilot. Time just seems to 'Skip by' without his knowledge. Although he had no idea what the ability was actually doing except giving him the feeling that he was missing something, one thing he certain of was 'Its most definitely his Stand Ability' Kira was experienced enough to know that when facing another Stand User every little thing that just doesn't feel right is probaby a danger to him. His intuition hasn't failed him so far, so going by that logic Diavolo was definitely up to something. What exactly the killer didn't know.

'From what I can tell his Stand's ability allows him to essentially teleport in a way' Diavolo had only recently revealed his Stand's ability so there wasn't enough time for Kira to fully understand how it works but he had a feeling his guess was close enough to the truth for now or at least till he can get more information, assuming Diavolo would live that long that is.

As all of these thoughts ran through Kira head, Diavolo slowly makes his way forward. Closing the distance inch by inch. 'This should be close enough'

*KA-BOOOM!*

The King of Italy narrowly missed another paper airplane! 'This should be close enough. Now I just need an opening' He was going to wait for Kira to release another volley before he strikes, that way when he rushes over he wouldn't be able to make another bomb in time even if he prematurely detonates the one he just released! Diavolo wanted to take advantage of the grace period between each explosion! At the distance he's at now, Diavolo was certain he can reach Kira before he could create another bomb! As for [Killer Queen], the Stand was of no concern! He would simply overpower him!

'Although...' Diavolo bit into his lower lip. Perhaps he had overdone it. The glare Kira sent his way was getting more and more intense the closer he got! The Don suspected he might know what he was planning! 'If that's the case then this is going to throw a wrench in my plans' Diavolo was nervous now! This was the only plan he had to get rid Kira right now!

Of course he could always run but his pride wouldn't allow it! Besides he didn't really care if he died or not. It's not like he couldn't just respawn like he always does (For better or for worse). It's a matter of principle! 'I can't just let someone walk all over me like this and let them get away with it!' Especially not after insulting his kindness! 'I'm going to take that bastard down with me if it's the last thing I do!'

Luckily as Fate would have it, the opening Diavolo had been waiting for soon came! But not quite in the way he had expected! His mess of a hair waved in a way that defied physics but that wasn't the shocking part. It was what it revealed that truely shocked the Mafioso! Diavolo widened his eyes in absolute confusion!

'I-is that a... BULLET!?' Yes it was indeed a bullet! The premonition [Epitaph] revealed Kira getting shot straight through his right shoulder! 'What? How? Why!?' Thousands of questions ran through Diavolo's mind that he had no answer too. 'Could it be an ally? No! IMPOSSIBLE!' He immediately denied that possibility. He had no allies here. The one "ally" he had tried to make is currently trying to kill him! 'Then its must be a enemy!' That was Diavolo's best guess!

It had to be! But if it is an enemy then why would this mystery shooter choose to shoot Kira over him? Obviously because Kira was the bigger threat! Whether or not this new player was after Kira specifically or not he didn't care! All he saw was an opportunity! And so using the last few seconds before [Epitaph]'s premonition came true, Diavolo jumped to his feet and sprinted like he's never sprinted before! And his target?

KIRA YOSHIKAGE!

POV: Yoshikage Kira

This was it. This was what he was waiting for! Yoshikage has long noticed Diavolo slowly creeping towards him, but then why didn't he do anything about it you may ask? Well he simply didn't feel the need to! He was confident whatever last ditch attack the exhausted and hurt Diavolo was going to pull wouldn't harm him! 'I've done enough damage already'

Yoshikage knew he was no match for [King Crimson] but it didn't matter, he didn't need to beat him! With the amount of damage Diavolo had sustained he simply needed to fend him off long enough for his injuries to do the job for him! He was sure this would work, after all, he had already done this countless times before.

The whole reason behind the invention of this technique was to make his weekly hunting trips as safe as possible. Yoshikage has yet to find any medical supplies beyond the most basic first aid kits, meaning any injuries he sustained during his hunts that was beyond a small cut could very well be life threatening. Thus in the face of possible fatal injuries he gladly traded efficiency for safety even if that meant taking down his prey took what felt like forever. It was a worthy trade off in his opinion.

Certain of his safety, Yoshikage prepares [Killer Queen] to go completely on the defensive. Giving his Stand a quick glance to confirm it was ready, Yoshikage turns back to the sprinting Diavolo but before he could complete this action he noticed something on the roof of a nearby skyscraper. Specifically the one behind Diavolo and facing right at him.

It was shiny. Like a diamond under a light. But what normal people would have considered beautiful struck pure fear into the heart of the serial killer. He knew this flare all too well. How could he not? This was the very thing he had been running away from for the past week and a half! This dreaded lens flare had terrorized the killer day in and day out with no rest or mercy for an entire month! This flare was the calling card of Sniper Mask!

*BANG!*

"Oh shi-!" Before Yoshikage had the time to react to the appearance of his second most hated adversary he had been shot through his right shoulder! The had bullet passed right through his flesh and shattered his bones like it was nothing but tissue paper! His right arm had been disabled!

"AAAGGGHH!"

Yoshikage stumbled back from the impact and quickly grabbed his injured shoulder and screamed out in agony! This was the first time he had been shot! While the serial killer was no stranger to pain, such an sudden attack still caught him off guard. He had no time to prepare himself! His face crunched up in pain while his grip on his shoulder tightened. He had to stop the bleeding and soon before the he died to blood lose. But how? There was nothing he had on him that could stop such a grevious injury.

As Yoshikage was still shell shocked from this sudden and completely unexpected ambush from his nemesis, Diavolo had taken full advantage of Yoshikage's temporary vulnerability! He had already covered quite the distance before the shot had been fired so once he heard the death knell he doubled his efforts and ran toward Yoshikage with twice his original speed! Of course doing so didn't come without cost. He had worsened his already terrible injuries but it didn't matter as he had achieved his objective!

"[KING CRIMSON]!"

Diavolo shouted at the top of his lungs! A familiar double faced devil of a Stand bursted out from Diavolo's body with it's right fist raised high and ready to end Yoshikage!

Yoshikage who was still in shock barely managed to reacted in time. Actually it was [Killer Queen] who reacted! His user was a millisecond slower than his Stand! Even without the input of his user [Killer Queen] automatically acted to protect Yoshikage! But unfortunately a Stand by it self wasn't very smart. [Killer Queen] could only react to what was directed in front of him so any type of trickery was lost on a Stand with no consciousness of it's own!

This is exactly what Diavolo wanted! Just as [Killer Queen] raised its arms to defend againest [King Crimson]'s right fist it suddenly stopped and switched to his left! Diavolo had fainted [Killer Queen]! Realising his mistake [Killer Queen] attempted to rectify it by turning his body around to defend but it was already too late! The pearl white and armored fist of [King Crimson] struck deep into [Killer Queen]'s face cracking it open!

The damage it received transferred over to its user as Yoshikage's jaw is suddenly obliterated by the impact! The kinetic force behind that punch was so strong it sent both Yoshikage and [Killer Queen] flying down the staircase they were standing at! They directly missed the stairs and hit the wall at the very bottom of the staircase!

*CRASH!*

A flower of blood bloomed as crimson red decorated the wall! Yoshikage stared blankly at the floor as his brain struggled to process the pain. His fingers were twitching and his body was convulsing. As gravity peels his body off the wall Yoshikage fell to his knees face first coughing up blood, teeth and fragments of his shattered jaw. "Cough! cough!" Yoshikage gritted whatever was left of his teeth and struggled to get back up. He was dying and he knew it. Even if his skull wasn't destroyed he doubted he would haved live long with the gaping bullet wound in his shoulder. Especially when he had no way to treat it.

He would have died regardless. The punch was just the cherry on top. The gun wielding bastard had finally done it. He had killed Yoshikage Kira. But the salary man wasn't satisfied with this outcome. He couldn't let him have the last laugh. He needed to. He HAD to fight back! 'I-I.. cant die... like this' he thought. This Masked man had ruined his second perfect life. Why is it everytime Yoshikage thought he had finally achieved his dream of a quiet and peaceful life someone always had to come along and ruin it?

He's had enough of this. He wanted revenge. He wanted to make the people who did this to him PAY. That's why despite his fatal injuries Yoshikage refused to lay down and die. He bit down on his lips till they bled and clawed his way onto his feet. Blood continued to spill down his face and shoulder like an unending waterfall as he used the wall as support to go deeper into the building. He knew they would follow. They wanted him dead after all and he highly doubted either of them would leave without seeing his corpse. He could use this to his advantage. He already had a head start due to flying such a distance so he used this time to set up one final counterattack againest his enemies.

POV: Diavolo

As Kira retreated deeper into the building to prepare his last hurrah, on the roof of the building stood Diavolo. He had not gone after Kira immediately but instead hung around to observe this new player. He had [King Crimson] by his side in case he tries to shoot him but this new addition never did. Diavolo kept his eyes on him till the man walked away and out of his line of sight. Seeing that there was nothing he could do now that the mystery man was out of sight Diavolo decided to not linger any longer and went after Kira.

He knew the man would come back. After all, hunters didn't tend to let their prey go after injuring it. 'He didn't shoot me cause he wanted me to go after the blond man' The Don thought. It made sense. They were already trying to kill each other before he had arrived so it would only made sense to let them exhaust themselves before the Mystery man came in and reaped the rewards with barely any effort.

'The reason why he acted at all is probably because he thought I was losing and wanted to even the odds' Well regardless of the Masked man's intentions, it worked to Diavolo's favor. Now he needs to capitalize on it. 'He'll be back soon so I need to find and finish the blonde before he gets here, otherwise I might very well be caught in a pincer attack'

Diavolo didn't particularly care about this newcomer. He had no beef with him so the Mafioso had no problem with just running away once he was done with Kira. Even if he couldn't run away so long as he took out the serial killer he had absolutely no issues with the gun slinger killing him. Sure it wasn't ideal that he dies but as long as Diavolo achieved his goals, he didn't care.

Not long after the Don left to hunt down Kira, a Masked man with a sniper rifle arrived on the spot where he once stood. The Masked man calmly stared into the darkness of the staircase entrance. His unbuttoned black suit and tie swayed in the wind as he lifted his free hand up to his head to readjust his fidora. After making sure it was on properly and wouldn't be blown away by the wind, he gently lowers his gloved hand in front of his jacket's breast pocket and pulled out a pack of cigars. He then rested his rifle against the door of the entrance and used his newly freed hand to retrieve a lighter.

Lighting his cigar with elegant and practiced movements the Masked Sniper took a puff before putting everything back to its rightful place with gentle care. Picking up his gun once again he took one step after another and quietly made his way down the stairs.
