Fair.

“Didn’t I say before, I want to kill everyone.” Zephyr smiled and aimed his rifle forward.

He fired and the bullet went straight through Doll’s head, passing through it as if she were made of smoke.

“Figured you looked trickier than that.”

“You figured right.” Doll was behind Zephyr and swung her arm for a cutting Qi type attack, but zephyr had already vaulted over her head and fired right down. The bullet hit this time, in through Doll’s back and out the other side, taking some of her right lung with it as it went.

Doll stumbled forward, struggling to stay on her feet, she tripped and rolled onto her side.

Zephyr walked up to her, she focussed all the energy she could to cut him, but all she managed was a scratch. Normally to focus her Qi she would think only on her breathing and use that as her center, now every breath was nothing but pain to her, her ability was entirely compromised. And tearful, Doll knew it.

Aella, horrified, watched on, clutching the Key in the jar as close to her chest as she could. She wanted to help, but she knew it wasn’t right neither Doll nor this man deserved to live more than the other, it would betray what Claire said too.

Zephyr took a drag on his cigarette as the cold wind blew on the three on the rooftop, Doll coughed up blood.

“I thought you’d give more of a fight, maybe this one will be more entertaining…”

“Wait…” Doll grabbed zephyr by the boot.

“No matter what you do… that one wont hurt anyone… its why she isn’t helping even me right now.” Doll coughed again, getting blood on Zephyr’s boot. Deborah Sneered and Zephyr was frozen at the sight.

“Kill me, but don’t kill her, why kill someone who will never do anything to you?”

Deborah aimed at the head this time and Doll’s skull simply exploded.

Aella let out a whimper.

Zephyr walked over to Aella, Doll’s glows following him. Looking down on her he spoke.

“Is it true? You wont ever fight me?”

Aella shook her head slowly “…never.”

“What about your friend, her blood is spattered across me… don’t you want revenge?”

“I do. But I wont take it. If she killed you one of your gang over there would only try and take revenge themselves… it has to stop somewhere, and its stopping with me.”

Aella stood up and faced Zephyr “Are you going to kill me, or shall I bury my friend?”

“Do it, blow her brains out Zephie, its easy points! The stupid bitch.”

“I wont kill you.” Zephyr said, “Not now anyway.” Zephyr turned and walked away. Leaving the roof with his followers.

Aella looked at Doll’s corpse, her clothes and hair rustling in the wind. “I’ll miss you too.”
