Fumi Himeno entered the abandoned warehouse. The old building was still littered with machinery. According to agents from the First District, the man she was pursuing had taken refuge there.
This man had been eliminating the HiMEs, so Mashiro Kazahana had ordered her maid to take action. They couldn't allow him to continue.
The only light in the building was the few rays of sunlight that spilled in through the cracks in the ceiling. Fumi caught the reflection of something out of the corner of her eye. She gracefully flipped behind a nearby machine. She heard the sound of metal on metal as the bullet hit the machine.
As she had expected, he was laying in wait for her. He didn't seem like the kind of man that you could track down so easily.
Unless he wanted you to.
Because of that shot, Fumi was aware of his general position. He had to be up on the walkway that ran along the upper part of the wall. Probably at the end furthest from her location.
Fumi peeked around the corner, but quickly pulled her head back as another shot whizzed past. She had still managed to get a glimpse of the layout. She was current at the end of a conveyer belt. Between her and the other end of the warehouse were several crates. They looked old and slightly rotten, so she doubted they would make adequate cover. They should help obscure his aim momentarily though. Fumi would have to rely on her own abilities to avoid getting hit.
She ran for it, zigzagging behind the boxes, not allow the man time to aim. When she reached the last crate, Fumi jumped on top of it, summoned her scythe, and then jumped again into the air. She saw him, down on one knee on the walkway, aiming his rifle up at her.
Golgo 13 pulled the trigger, but Fumi blocked the shot with the blade of her scythe. She then threw the weapon at him. He rolled out of the way, but the blade sliced the walkway. The damaged walkway could no longer hold his weight. The steel bent, sending Golgo to the floor below. He rolled as he landed, avoiding harm.
On her way down, Fumi grabbed her element. When she landed, Golgo was already aiming. Side stepped the shot, then rushed forward, slashing horizontally. Golgo jumped back, his tie being cut short. Golgo's foot landed on a steel pipe, which rolled out from under him. The large man fell backwards, his M16 shooting off into the air. His back slammed into a crate. The boards cracked and the gun went clattering across the floor.
"Looks like this is the end." Fumi smiled politely. "We will be having a nice long chat over some tea." Golgo just looked at her with his usual hard expression. There were no signs of defeat in his eyes.
The chain dangling from the crane finally gave way after being damaged by the M16 round. Fumi never noticed the large crate falling on her until it was too late.
And then there were four.
