Larvali sits in the middle seat of the sofa as he rubs his forehead. "So, we still have no idea where he is?" Larvali opens his eyes and looks at Vinyl Scratch, who is leaning against the door frame.

"I'm saying he went into the government building to find Scorpia and hasn't been seen since... I even asked our resident sources and turned up nothing." Vinyl Scratch informs Larvali as she adjusts her shades.

"That's just perfect... Those two... Thank you, Vinyl... You should get back to work now. How is Rainbow?" Larvali asks, standing up.

"She is about as torn up as the last twenty times you have asked me... She'll heal... Just might take a bit, all things considered." Vinyl Scratch comments before sighing deeply.Vinyl Scratch leaves the room and shuts the door before Larvali sighs and rubs his forehead again.

"Out of all of the Kansen, that could have disappeared it fucking had to be those two... Maybe there will be something on TV that will cheer up this horrible situation." Larvali picks up the TV remote and begins flicking through channels.

After flicking through several channels he turns the TV off and throws the remote onto the sofa. "Not a damn thing... Ugh, how did it even get this bad?" Larvali's thoughts are interrupted by a loud crash from downstairs.

Several seconds pass before Vinyl Scratch bursts back into the room and scurries for the TV remote, her shades fallen onto the floor in her panic.

"What the fu-" Larvali is cut short by Vinyl Scratch.

"You would not believe the fucking news right now!" Vinyl Scratch switches to the news channel which shows a helicopter flying over a burning quarter in Manehattan.

"Which Kansen would be crazy enough to provoke a wide-scale city attack in the middle of a Wednesday afternoon..?" Larvali asks, but deadpans when he sees the headline includes 'The Jester'. "You have got to be kidding me..."

Several hours earlier...

Jules, Winston, and Giles are walking down the streets of Manehattan, looking for somewhere to stop.

"Jules... What do we do now?" Winston asks, seemingly nervous.

"Working on it, Winston..." Jules replies, sighing.

"You're doing a wonderful job..." Giles rolls his eyes.

"Nobody asked for your opinion..." Jules whips back before they stop at a crossing.

The trio looks around before crossing the road as the lights turn green to walk.

"Forgive me if I seem on edge... Our boss is dead, our fourth member is somewhere we don't know and I'm hungry as shit..." Jules sighs deeply.

"Look, let's just pick a diner and go in... We can't keep walking around like this." Giles comments.

"It's a shame this isn't a game, otherwise we could just press X or B to pick from two diners..." Winston states, before getting confused looks from his comrades.

"He has a-" Giles begins.

"Don't say it!" Jules sharply states before they continue walking.

"But he does!" Giles protests as the pair catch up to the now fast walking Jules.

The trio eventually enter one of the many diners in Manehattan and take a booth in the middle of the establishment by the window.

"Okay... We have made it to a seat... Perhaps now we can actually think..." Giles comments, relaxing in his seat.

"Thankfully, diners like this are social gathering points and allow for a rich collection of emotions..." Jules muses before the trio look around at the sparse customer population. "Normally..."

"Just great... So not only are we having a shitty week but now we have to settle for salty depressing emotions... Ugh..." Giles complains.

"There is one upside... The waitress is cute..." Winston meekly states earning even more confused looks from his comrades.

At that moment a mint green Unicorn mare walks over to the trio wearing the traditional café waitress outfit. Her mane and tail are a slightly lighter mint green with dark chocolate colored streaks throughout. Her eyes are also a mint green.

"Hello, my name is Minty Chip and I will be your waitress today~" The mare states happily.

"She is rather cute..." Giles comments under his breath.

"Umm... Aren't you the only wait-" Jules is cut off by Winston.

"Can we have three mint chocolate ice cream surprises, please?" Winston asks, with a slight smile.

"Sure, I'll go make those now for you~" Minty Chip walks off after writing in her notepad.

"Well... She was interesting..." Jules comments before sighing deeply.

"Least she tastes better than the majority of sour customers in here..." Giles adds.

"That is a very suggestive line..." Jules looks at Giles.

The trio sigh in unison before their ice cream sundaes are brought to them and placed on the table off a tray Minty Chip is carrying.

"There you go, enjoy~" Minty Chip leaves the table and walks off.

"She is aware changelings don't-" Jules stops himself when he notices Winston happily enjoying his ice cream.

"Looks like we do." Giles adds.

The trio eat their ice creams before Winston slows down a little and looks confused.

"What? Brain freeze or something?" Jules asks Winston who slowly shakes his head.

"Can't you taste that?" Giles asks.

"You mean the overpowering yet minty flavor of the ice cream complimented by the rich yet exotic flavor of the chocolate chips?" Jules asks looking up at Giles who rolls his eyes.

"No, that overpowering flavor of extreme happy that feels like it's choking you to death... It's not natural for ponies to be that happy unless you're pink." Giles shovels some more ice cream into his mouth to mask the taste.

"I take it this seat isn't taken as there is only three of you." A very happy yet eccentric voice states from beside Jules.

The trio look beside Jules to see an anthro male sea serpent with purple scales and brilliant orange hair/mustache that has brilliant yellow streaks within. He wears a pure white suit with a purple embroidered handkerchief that bares the initials S.M.

"Steven 'The Fabulous' Magnet..." Jules swallows some ice cream before holding his head and groaning.

"Brain freeze?" Winston asks Jules who scowls at him.

"If you know who I am, then you also know I won't dispatch any of you. I simply wish to determine your reason for being in Manehattan. If I find this reason satisfactory you may enjoy your ice cream in peace." Steven Magnet explains to them.

"If not..?" Giles asks, curious.

"I'll have to perform my unsavory government given duty and we both know what that means." Steven Magnet orders a cup of coffee from Minty Chip.

"Well, our boss is dead and we didn't know where to go." Jules begins.

"Given that we left Queen Chrysalis with Flutterbat in the first place, we didn't think it best to go back there." Giles adds.

"Plus Manehattan has good ice cream." Winston finishes.

Steven Magnet smiles a little and begins mixing milk and sugar into his tea that Minty Chip brought over on a tray.

"I doubt with such harmless reason I could warrant ending any of you, so I won't. Though I do hope the three of you will be careful around town, it can be very-" Steven is cut off by a massive explosion outside.

The four look out the window to see Manehattan engulfed in flames and rubble everywhere. Steven Magnet stands up, dropping his coffee cup while Winston shoves what remains of his sundae in his mouth.

"Miss Chip, would you kindly-" Steven looks behind him dramatically before noticing Minty Chip is ushering the customers and the manager into a basement hatch.

"Two steps ahead of you, gov~" Minty Chip disappears down the hatch and locks it.

Suddenly the group can hear fighting outside, near the diner.

"While you three would likely wish to run away from the fighting, I may require you to come with me." Steven Magnet states to the trio.

"Are you crazy-" Giles is cut off by Jules.

"Likely the safest place in the whole of Manehattan is with him... I'm prompted to stay with him..." Jules poses to Winston and Giles.

"He seems nice." Winston smiles, finally getting over his brain freeze.

"I guess if we must..." Giles gives in.

"Excellent, now let us investigate!" Steven Magnet points his cane dramatically at the door and rushes out.

The trio follows Steven Magnet reluctantly and sticks close to him through the carnage.

The group runs down the alleyway of the diner before coming across the almost flat ruins of the building next door. They can hear fighting in the area, but cannot see anything.

"What is going on? I can't see a thing..." Jules states annoyed.

"You mean, you can't see them fighting?" Steven Magnet asks, confused.

"I don't see anyone either." Winston adds.

On occasion, the group can hear grunts and yells accompanied by blood splats and slashes which litter the small area. The fighting stops almost instantly and Lightning Dust rolls across the floor into a pile of rubble.

"Hmm... Seems she wasn't quite fast enough to beat you..." Steven Magnet strokes his mustache looking around.

"Who do you mean?" Jules asks, looking at Steven Magnet.

An indigo coated bat pony stallion appears in front of the group. He has a burgundy mane and tail and fuchsia eyes. He is wearing a white tank top, black trousers, and black dress shoes. There are a few scratches in his clothing, and light splotches of blood here and there, but nothing major. "Magnet was speaking of me."

"Where the fuck did he come from?!" Giles states.

"He was the one fighting Lightning Dust. Needless to say even after the fight, he has been there pretty much for the entire time. Granted his existence is mostly a myth, even among the government members of Pathogen." Steven Magnet explains.

The stallion looks to Steven Magnet. "I prefer it that way. The less that even realize I exist, the better I can get around. However, with 'The Jester' here, that isn't the easiest thing to do. Speaking of, I could easily beat Lightning Dust on my own. The remainder of the Wonderbolts, however, is a different story."

"I didn't quite expect her to attack Manehattan in broad daylight, but she is unpredictable. I'm surprised Lightning Dust wasn't with the other two. Any insight on her separation, Moonlit Blur?" Steven Magnet leans on his cane and looks at the bat pony.

"She wanted to fight on her own. Thought she was 'more than enough to take me on.' The Jester didn't argue. She just took Fleetfoot and Spitfire with her, and left the immediate area... after she made this mess." Moonlit Blur replies, looking around.

"You'll have to forgive my interruption, but you said 'Moonlit Blur'... That's a Kansen name. Not only that, but it's 'the' Kansen name known in a very vague myth... That the entity behind the name even exists at all..." Jules informs Steven Magnet.

"Well, it's the only name I know this fellow by... Anyway, where did she go? We should contain this destruction as much as possible." Steven Magnet stands up straight.

Moonlit Blur crosses his arms as he speaks, "With her..? She has no agenda. Probably just in for a bit of 'fun'. Where in this city could she cause the most damage?"

"Likely the shopping district if it's lives she is after. As for property damage... Well, anywhere would do." Steven Magnet gestures around at the towering buildings.

"With what we've seen out of her, I'd say the better bet is the former." Moonlit Blur states.

"Well, if you lads are still sticking with me you'll have to make yourselves useful and join the fight." Steven Magnet states before heading towards the shopping district.

"I guess we have to... This will not be a fun reunion..." Jules states before him and Giles begin to follow Steven Magnet.

"I'd like another bowl of ice cream..." Winston reluctantly follows.

Moonlit Blur walks close behind the group. "That's your choice of a last meal?"

"It was so good, though. Delicious mint ice cream with chocolate sauce... The waitress was cute too." Winston smiles happily.

Moonlit Blur just shakes his head and mutters "Changelings..."

The group enters the times square area of Manehattan to see death and destruction everywhere. In the center of the square is Spitfire and Fleetfoot, both wearing pitch black full body suits.

"I think it's safe to say they have done a number on most of Manehattan..." Jules comments.

"It would also appear that the remaining Wonderbolt members are still in the square." Steven Magnet adds, pointing at the pair with his cane.

The pair in question, seem to be waiting around for something getting slightly impatient as Fleetfoot throws a car into a nearby building for fun.

"Where is Verdammnis?" Giles asks, looking around.

"I don't know, which is never a good sign... Suggestions Moonlit Blur?" Steven Magnet asks, pulling the top of his cane off to draw the sword hidden within.

"I'm not sure. She did leave Lightning Dust with me, but leaving her other two..? Doesn't seem right. I'm not one to allow an opportunity to be wasted, but with that mare... it's hard to say if this is an opportunity or a trap. I do know one thing, however. The longer we sit on this, the more they destroy this city." Moonlit Blur states.

"Well, likely the both of them are SSS rank Kansen. This poses a slight problem for our current line up... You and I might be able to kill them both with little to no problem. These three B ranks are out of their depth here." Steven Magnet comments.

"That they are~" A playful voice states from behind them.

Before any of them can turn around Giles has three blood tentacles burst forth from his torso before they rip him apart. The group jump out of their position and turn around to see Verdammnis, who retracts her tentacles and giggles.

"Well, that kills our chances just a little bit more." Moonlit Blur states, forming and crystallizing daggers out of his blood. "They were dim enough..." He finishes, gritting his teeth.

"You're the little Kansen we came across earlier. I guess Lightning Dust wasn't good enough to keep up... I could kill you all here, but where is the fun in that?" Verdammnis side swipes the two changelings off to the left of the square while she sends Steven Magnet to the right with her tentacles. "Fleetfoot, kill the traitors! Spitfire, get rid of Steven... I will deal with you myself." Verdammnis retracts her tentacles again and smiles.

Moonlit Blur readies himself, never taking his eyes off of Verdammnis. Steven may be able to take out Spitfire... maybe. Those changelings are screwed if they stay with Fleetfoot for too long... And there's the 'Jester'. This won't go well... she's extremely well known, but her style is as unknown as my own.

Verdammnis giggles as she cuts her hand and coats it in her blood before morphing it into a Gatling gun and begins firing at Moonlit Blur.

"I have nothing against melee blood abilities, but some could at least be more creative, like Back Beat~" Verdammnis smiles and her eyes turn a very eager bright blood red.

Moonlit Blur dodges behind some rubble before calling out. "What do you want? An apology that my abilities cater towards a quick kill and not a full on fight?"

"No, I just wanted to see if you can dodge. You would not believe the amount who don't~" Verdammnis re-morphs her gun into an arm blade and sprints forth to slash clean through Moonlit Blur's cover.

Moonlit Blur jumps back a couple times at the impact, throwing one of his daggers aimed at Verdammnis throat before quickly forming another and readying himself for further attacks.

Verdammnis slips to the side slightly avoiding the knife but letting it cut her free hand so she can form duel blades. The changeling lunges forth with deadly precision and attempts to cut Moonlit Blur in any way possible.

Moonlit Blur focuses entirely on dodging and parrying, occasionally getting cut in various degrees of severity.

Verdammnis grins wide as she slides towards Moonlit Blur before attempting an X-shaped slash attack. "You do an awful lot of dodging~"

Moonlit Blur crosses his own blades to intercept Verdammnis' attack. "You're doing an awful lot of holding yourself back... Aren't you?"

Verdammnis pushes Moonlit Blur back before jumping away from him. "Aww it's a shame you saw that so easily, but if you're good enough to keep up with those weak attacks..." Verdammnis morphs her blood to cover her whole arms and her legs forming blades on the outer part. "Let me show you what my version of Tartarus looks like..." Verdammnis grows a wider grin as her eyes go black instead of white.

Winston and Jules run down the street next to the square as Fleetfoot isn't far behind with dual blood arm blades. The pair duck inside a destroyed tool shop and hide beneath the counter.

"Not to be the bearer of bad news, but we don't stand a chance against that psycho. We need to find some way to outsmart her..." Jules ponders.

"Jules... What are we going to do? Giles is dead..." Winston states.

"I know... I know... It's likely that neither of us will live through this. We had an amazing run." Jules peeks over the counter to see Fleetfoot looking for them outside.

"You know I'm no good with this sort of stuff... You and Giles always handled the complicated stuff... I miss Giles..." Winston states playing with some nearby tools.

"I know, as do I... Wait a moment... I have an idea, Winston, and this time I'm going to need your help." Jules states, dragging Winston further into the shop.

Several minutes later outside, Fleetfoot is slashing cars and destroying mailboxes trying to find the two changelings.

"Where the fuck are they..? Stupid little bugs..." Fleetfoot states in annoyance.

"Are you looking for us?!" Jules shouts from behind her.

Fleetfoot turns around to see Jules standing by the tool shop. Growling slightly she begins to walk at a medium pace towards him.

"This is likely to fail, but oh well... Winston!" Jules calls before ducking inside the shop.

Looking confused, Fleetfoot is suddenly crushed by a large chunk of rubble that fell off the top of the tool shop. Winston looks out from the hole left behind.

"Is she dead?" Winston asks.

"I doubt it." Jules quickly replies as they both leave the shop and head further down the street.

Fleetfoot cuts herself free from the chunk and growls much more loudly.

"I'm going to enjoy ending both of your miserable lives!" Fleetfoot begins to give chase.

Meanwhile, back in the square, Steven Magnet and Spitfire circle each other. The former Wonderbolt captain has a single arm blade prepared in front of her while Steven Magnet has only his cane.

"You seem a little naked there with just a cane to defend yourself with." Spitfire states with a smirk.

"It seems being tainted by Kansen blood has dulled your training. Allow me to enlighten you, dear captain." Steven Magnet states.

Spitfire lunges at Steven Magnet, only to be blocked and repelled by his cane. The dance repeats like this for several slashes and strikes that refuse to get past the Sea Dragons defense stance. Growling, Spitfire grows impatient and charges at Steven Magnet. Upon reaching striking distance, Steven magnet detaches the top of his cane from the main body and performs a single slash across Spitfire's body as she slides past him. Holding her chest, she has a long cut going from her shoulder down to her hip,.

"So you're spry for an old Sea Dragon... Doesn't mean a thing." Spitfire states.

Steven Magnet simply hums as he holds his cane sheath in one hand and the top part of his cane in the other. The top of his cane has a long thin blade attached to it. The pair begins fighting again, but this time Steven Magnet's movements have changed. He now speeds around and strikes with precision at Spitfire's key blind spots. Clashing swords harshly, he slips underneath her arm and simply flicks his wrist once before sliding around her to do the same motion several times. Jumping back from her, Steven Magnet sheathes his cane sword and sighs.

"Three Verse Humming Sea Dragon Repertoire!" Steven Magnet states upon fully sheathing his sword.

At the moment of sheathing, countless slashes appear all at once on Spitfire, causing her to scream in agony as she falls to her knees.

"Neat trick... Bet you can't do it again..." Spitfire grits her teeth and stands up.

Throwing out both her arms she coats her body in blood armor and sports two large blood arm blades. She begins to charge at Steven magnet again.

"You have forgotten discipline... You were the Wonderbolt captain. While cocky, you were also cool headed and relied upon. I enjoyed the company of the Wonderbolts the best, perhaps that's why we went on so many operations together... With a Kansen here like Verdammnis, I already know my fate is sealed. The least I can do before I die is free a dear friend." Steven Magnet comments as he dodges Spitfires constant slashes.

Gliding around her attempts to strike and slash him, Steven magnet once again flicks his wrist many times around the former captain.

"Three Verse Humming Pathogen Serenade!" Steven Magnet states.

Spitfire is hit with another payload of slashes and this time Steven Magnet thrusts his sword through her blood armor and into her chest. Spitfire manages to stab her blade into Steven Magnet's shoulder before he lowers her to the ground. Spitfire's arm blades and armor return to normal blood and slide to the floor.

"It's a shame this was the outcome... It would have been nice to perform one last dance before our end. I guess fate was not so kind." Steven magnet sighs as Spitfire coughs up blood.

"Nah Steven... We were always heading for this route... Kinda what happens when the balance of our world is fucked to begin with." Spitfire chuckles.

"Perhaps in the afterlife, we can all regroup for that last dance?" Steven Magnet smiles slightly.

"Maybe, but you're buying..." Spitfire states.

In the last moments before Steven Magnet watched the light fade from Spitfire's eyes she was by all appearances, herself. Steven Magnet stands up after closing Spitfire's eyes and sheathes his cane sword before walking over to where Verdammnis and Moonlit Blur are fighting

Verdammnis cuts the concrete cover into several pieces before smashing it apart as Moonlit Blur narrowly dodges.

"You insist on being so slippery... It really annoys me!" Verdammnis yells before charging again.

"As I said before, quick kill, not a fight." Moonlit Blur replied, trying to get an angle to attack.

Verdammnis continues her endless pursuit using her arm and leg blades to occasionally get in slashes which cut Moonlit blur's clothes.

"Maybe this isn't hell enough for you!" Verdammnis growls.

"Still holding back, then?" Moonlit Blur asks before taking a chance by throwing another of his daggers, still doing his best to dodge the oncoming onslaught.

Verdammnis deflects the dagger and suddenly appears in front of Moonlit Blur.

"Let's change that, shall we?" Verdammnis states with a smile.

Taking Moonlit Blur by surprise, she grabs his head and slams her knee up into it. She then uses her momentum to spin kick him into a nearby statue that breaks in half upon contact.

Moonlit Blur slowly begins to pick himself up as he looks at Verdammnis. "This may just be the possible concussion talking, but," Moonlit Blur pauses to cough up a bit of blood before continuing. "...Are you still holding back?"

"You long for the cold touch of death... Don't you..?" Verdammnis' hisses.

Verdammnis can be seen to move twice before kneeling in front of Moonlit blur and holding his chin.

"If I didn't dislike stallions so much I'd use my blood to watch you squirm... I guess you'll have to go the slightly quicker and rougher way." Verdammnis' grin becomes more sinister.

Moving her hand to tightly grip his throat she lifts him up as her whole body is covered in light looking knight armor. The helmet that forms around her head has a malicious design and yellow glowing eyes.

"I'm going to etch this face into your very mind so whenever you close your eyes... You'll see me. Though, you'll be dead... So, a little pointless." Verdammnis states.

Creating spikes on her gauntlets she continues to pound and beat Moonlit Blur repeatedly with little to no mercy. The remains of the statue and the area around them starts to be covered in Moonlit Blur's blood. Finishing up her flurry of repeated blows she kicks him against a nearby wall and watches him slide down before bending over and checking him.

"You dead yet, plaything?" Verdammnis asks, with a playful tone.

"Maybe... if you... stopped... playing around... I would be..." Moonlit Blur managed before spitting some blood off to the side.

"You are hardly entertaining... I guess I should finish this and find a new toy to play with." Verdammnis states as she pulls back her fist and aims for Moonlit Blur's head.

As Verdammnis releases her arm forwards into a thrust, she suddenly strays off course and obliterates a massive hole beside Moonlit Blur's head through the several inch thick concrete wall. Looking at her chest she can see that the blade of Steven Magnet's cane sword is sticking through it.

"I hope I'm not too late, the recently deceased Wonderbolt captain lived up to her reputation." Steven Magnet states as he jumps back away from Verdammnis.

The Changeling mare growls loudly as her armor retreats back into her body. Verdammnis slams her hoof down harshly onto both of Moonlit Blur's legs, breaking them which causes him great pain. Flexing her wrist she grabs his head.

"Do make sure not to go anywhere... I'm not done with you." Verdammnis hisses in his ear.

Moonlit Blur looks down to his legs, then back up to her before rolling his eyes. "I don't believe being a Kansen will even help me heal that quickly. Well... assuming you have no trouble with Magnet."

"This prancing ponce of a Sea Serpent is not a threat... No more than you are..." Verdammnis states before bearing her blood claws from her nails.

Steven Magnet hums as he places his left hand behind his back, readying his cane sword. Verdammnis emits a low primal growl before pouncing at Steven Magnet. The Sea Serpent deflects and blocks the swipes he can, his suit slowly being torn up.

"Most Kansen have a defined nature which makes them easy to fight. Only a select few can cycle through various blood weapons... Those are the most dangerous." Steven Magnet states as he flicks his wrist to deflect a swipe.

"Your overly happy presence sickens me... Your very taste is toxic..." Verdammnis states before growling louder. Verdammnis flexes her arms and her black eyes form a bug like blood red slit in the middle. "Let's end this game of cat and mouse!" Verdammnis states, with a deeper darker voice.

Steven Magnet and Verdammnis fight much more fiercely than before. No matter how much he cuts or slashes her body, she keeps coming at him with reckless abandonment. Steven Magnet sustains his own cuts and damage. After several minutes of fighting, they stand inches away from each other stance ready.

"Three Verse Humming-" Steven Magnet begins, but is cut off.

Verdammnis quickly appeared behind Steven magnet before grabbing his head tightly. She lifts him up as he drops his cane sword and growls.

"That is enough of your overly happy aura and bloody humming!" Verdammnis complains.

Verdammnis plunges her claws through Steven Magnet's back through to his chest before dropping him to the ground. She then stomps on his back and takes a deep breath before stabbing all her claws through his heart, leaving him lifeless after several seconds.

"Finally peace and quiet..?" Verdammnis looks in the direction of Fleetfoot and lets out a heavy sigh. "Seriously? All three of them in one raid? Now I have to find new mares..."

Verdammnis begins to walk off away from Moonlit Blur and Steven Magnet's body. Before she gets too far, Verdammnis turns around and smiles at Moonlit Blur.

"I'm sorry, I almost forgot about you. Any last words? Your real name would be nice." Verdammnis states as she forms her right forearm into a blood cannon.

Moonlit Blur stares in disbelief for a short moment before replying, "Night Ace... Now... We all know you're completely insane, but a cannon? That's a lot of mess for a guy that can't move his legs." He states, gesturing to the mangled mess that she had made moments before.

"I suppose, but I do want to make sure I kill you. Least it'll be quick. Is that everything you have to say, Night Ace?" Verdammnis asks, morphing her cannon into a more rifle-like shape.

Night Ace shrugs lightly, before wincing. "As if it matters? It isn't like anything I say could save my life, now, is it?"

"Say something nice." Verdammnis prompts Night Ace, as she strokes the end of her blood rifle against his cheek.

Night Ace chuckles and tilts his head. "I may not have anything bad to say, but how could I possibly have anything nice to say in my current situation?"

"That is a very good point." Verdammnis states, nodding her head.

She then presses the barrel of her blood rifle against Night Ace's forehead and fires a single shot, which splats against the wall behind him combined with his own blood. Letting her blood flow back inside her, Verdammnis looks around at the destruction and sighs deeply.

"I feel like some mint ice cream... Where was that diner again?" Verdammnis says to herself, before skipping off on her search.

Author's Note

Well... Firstly, this fic is alive. I realise a chapter hasn't come out in a while, but my proofreader should be back for a while so more chapters can be worked on with greater haste. Next chapter will take a bit of work, but it should be out soonish. Sorry for the long wait.
