Doe was already reloading, but as he/she rolled onto his/her feet, Doe felt an incredible pain and messed up while loading, only managing to get one bullet in. Doe shot once, nothing. Doe fell to his/her knees, gun still out at Yinns, pulled the trigger again, nothing.

The numbers on the box finally lock, sealing their fates. A-75 Shaded Spring results:

Magna: 1 ***Critical***
Aura: 3
Halflife: 5

The world around both of them blinks out of existance, replaced by a tunnel of red and magenta light-rays whooshing by the both of them as if they're warping through Hyperspace. There is the sound of a space-vaccum of some kind, going at a higher and higher pitch, until 7 seconds later it all suddenly ends with three massive flashes of white light, their world reappearing, and a lethally dangerous, invisible attack delivered out of nowhere.

This weird attack has a high chance to hit both Doe and Yinns (Aura 3), and if it affects them, it will do no damage but SEVERELY slow them down (Magna 1), and this effect would last anywhere from 8 to 12 turns without natural resistance to Slow status effects (Halflife 5).

Of course, as luck would have it, Yinns is affected. But does it land on Doe as well? If so, they continue to fight evenly matched.

In the warp of time Doe tried to fire again, his/her body had been slowed down, but his/her perception was still at full speed. Doe watched as the trigger hit the gun and it felt like it might still fire. The gun didn't fire.

Since both characters are slowed, it's as if they're still moving the same speed as before. But not for long, if Yinns has anything to say about it...

"Initiate Reboot. Alpha variable 'Cleanse'. Beta variable 'Defense'."

There is a humming sound, that fades to a lower and lower pitch as Yinns's vest shuts off completely! At the same time, though, his Status condition is instantly cured. The catch, though, is that for 3 turns, he is incapable of Techs, Air Dashes AND non-Tech attacks. His only offensive action left is a Knuckles melee fight, and against a gun that's, well... not too wise...

On the other hand, he's moving MUCH faster than Doe is, with a cured status condition... and after the 3 turns he'll be at a mighty advantage. Still, even if Doe is slower, the bullets sure aren't, so... all he's gotta do is make it in Melee range before Doe can fire.

He approaches, and to Doe, Yinns is coming at him/her at an ungodly speed. He/she's got less than a full second to respond-- if a bullet makes it out before then, without the Vest's natural defenses, one hit might even end Yinns's game. If not... Doe is in for a whuppin'.

Doe matches the speed with his/her finger, but as the hammer hits, the bullet doesn't fire. There is only one bullet left, the next shot will happen. Doe had no means to dodge and didn't dare fire the last bullet if it could miss.

With their difference in speed, Yinns has no problem getting right behind his slowed opponent, leaping up and bringing his two heavy, diamond-like, metal Knuckled fists down, driving them into Doe's back like a hammer. This melee attack should do heavy damage-- it's usually easy to avoid, but Doe certainly is in no easy place to avoid anything at this moment...

Yinns isn't expecting the gun to hurt him anymore, either. That may certainly prove to be a mistake...

As Doe was hit, he/she knew what she/he had to do. Doe flipped his/her wrist and the gun was pointing right at Yinns, even if Yinns noticed, evading would be incredibly hard. Doe pulled the trigger and the gun finally fired.

"KuPOOOOO!!"

At the height of the action, Yinns barely has time to avoid-- the gun blast combined with his attempt to dodge lands him a hit on the side of the Vest, and with the Vest's natural defenses off, it's as if he was nailed dead-on. Out of vitality, Yinns manages to pull off one final attack-- a half-lunge into Doe's right ribcage with the Rocket Knuckles-- before collapsing. In this case, the fight could end in either a Double-KO or Doe's victory, but either way Yinns hasn't exactly achieved victory...

"I give up... Kupo... Sally, I... love you..."

His last sentence refers to Yinns's wife, Sally.

If Doe still has HP, Yinns is completely at his/her mercy. One bullet will easily end Doe's mission...

Doe was hit by the knuckles with a rather distrubing crunch, more bones being broken. Doe rolled down the hill and almost landed in the road. Struggling to get up, Doe slowly started to walk towards Yinns, back up the hill. Doe reloaded the gun while moving up the hill. At the top of the hill, Doe pointed his/her gun at Yinns. Doe tried to aim, but his/her vision was doubled, Doe just felt that he/she was bleeding from his/her lower chest. A rib had broken outwards and he/she was losing blood very quickly.

Doe tightened the bandages all over his/her body, forcing the wound to stop bleeding, but it had taken several moments, when Doe looked again at Yinns, his/her vision was still doublbed. Doe felt his/her blood drain and fell backwards, awake, but unable to move.


Doe's thoughts: "I've bled to much... I can't even sit up anymore... it feels like every bone in my body is broken... Why was he able to do this to me? How did he beat me? Just a moogle..."

Doe remained awake in an awkward pain, psychological and physical. The worst part was that Doe was now powerless, if Yinns woke up, even being able to move would be better than anything Doe could do.

Moments pass, with no action. The half-alive moogle is lost in thought...

"Assassinations... I've never been targeted before, but it might be because of my efforts against Moogle Segregation... Sally... Should I tell her about this? I feel it's right to tell the truth to her, but... I don't want her and Tai and Connie to have to live in fear because of this... I guess the only solution would be to become stronger... so I can protect... my family..."


It isn't long before the Vest re-finishes its Reboot, and the automatic Life Support systems come back on, allowing Yinns to stay awake at the very least. But as the minutes of motionlessness pass, he feels his strength begin to return. He tries speaking aloud.

"Kupo. That was a hassle. Kupo again. ...Heh... I wonder if that assassin is alright? I bet he, she, whatever is nearby... I think I broke too many bones. I oughta give 'im some kind of healing. But I can't move... Kupo..."

True, he can't move.

In a weak hazy voice, almost hard to hear, with almost no show towards one gender or the other, Doe finally spoke.

Doe: "So you're still alive?"

There was a pause as Doe choked on something.

Doe: "When you can stand up, please kill me."

Doe paused for a second, what could saying more hurt.

Doe: "I'd rather die than go back after failing."

"Kupo?"

Doe's words are curious to Yinns. He tries getting up...

"Hurrrrngh! AH! Did it."

He looks around for Doe, and sees him/her at the bottom of the hill, completely broken. "No way," Yinns thinks to himself. "This person was only following orders..."

He approaches Doe, but stumbles down the hill and falls again. Maybe he stood up too soon after all...


"You shouldn't have to die. You were only following orders... But you must tell me more, kupo. Who wants me dead? Will it affect my family? I'm sorry... but... Sally would never forgive me if I told her about this and I ended up slaying you. I'm... not one to kill. ...Anymore, that is. What's your name? Let me find a gadget to repair you, give me a moment..."

He searches through his coat pockets and pulls out a thick potion with a red cross painted on the front.

"This is all I have... Hold still."

Doe: "You don't understand."

Doe lifted his/her arm up and revealed that in his/her hand was a detonator.

Doe: "You're wanted dead by the leader of a crime syndicate. They were in that hotel, they thought of you as a threat. They run a slave market, mainly for moogles."

Doe wished he/she had landed on his/her back. Doe had never liked facing people, and having to look up at the sky while at someone's mercy wasn't a great thing for him/her.

Doe: "They've already hired me to kill your wife. This detonated is linked to your home, if you kill me, they won't send anyone else. If you don't kill me, I'll destroy your home and others will be hired."

Doe's head fell to the side and Doe coughed, more blood staining the ground.

Doe: "If I'm left alive, I can't go back. They'll hire people to hunt me down, they'll capture me, and torture me everyway they can."

"Sally... No..."

A hundred thoughts suddenly heat his little mind at this info. What a fiendish twist of fate! But... can Yinns even trust Doe's word?

"F-fine... I'll do it, but it'll be painless. I am not a monster. Just leave Sally and Tai and Connie alone."

He swaps the red cross potion with another one. This potion's surface is actually is coated in magenta Alchemy Fire, and the glass vial is burning hot.

"I'm setting it here. Drink it and you'll move on to the next world. I know you can move your hands, so nothing funny, 'kay?" He sets the vial in Doe's free hand. "Like I said, I'm not a monster."

He picks up his broken stuff from earlier and starts to finish heading to the other side of the town, but he turns around one more time...

"Kupo! And... thanks for sparing her... while you had the chance to kill my family..."

He takes off at a dash. He has to make it home as soon as possible... His family must be safe. Nothing is as important to him as his family.

As Yinns walked away, Doe heard the small reciever in his/her ear turn on.

"Now, you didn't plan to betray us, did you?"

Doe tried to raise his/her hand, but it was broken and refused to move.

"That's what I thought, kill his family."

Doe didn't want to press the button.

"Do it."

Doe didn't press the buttom.

"I said do it or we'll show you what torture is!"

With an agonizing amount of pain, Doe rolled over and vanished from the eyes of the earth, his/her trench coat blending in with the ground.

OOC: You were right-- I DID enjoy it. But it was to be expected. Kudos for another amazing performance.


Epilouge:

As the morning sun shines over the peaceful, distant, small city in the north sector of NeoTerra, a serene Moogle girl steps outside and sits in the chair in her garden. She sighs. Her loved one has been gone for two days, and should be home late this afternoon... Even though he knows he can hold his own should anyone threaten him, she can't help but worry while he's away...

"Saaaallyyyyy!!"

She perks up. Was that him? How could Yinns be home so early in the day?

"Kupo?"

The Moogle Gadgeteer comes running up the paved road to their house as fast as he can. He seems to have activated some kind of speed-increasing program in his Vest for a prolonged amount of time, and she can tell because Yinn's vest is shorting out from the strain.

"Yinns, you're home!"

"No time to talk, Sally." He runs by her, into the house, past his kids and into the basement. Sally follows him, telling Tai and Connie not to worry in the process. In the cellar, Yinns quickly activates some kind of sensor and begins looking around.

"Yinns, what is the meaning of this?"

"Ssh, no sudden movements. Get out of the house and take the kids until I give the okay, kupo."

"If... If you say so... But after that you better tell me what's going on."

She leaves his presence for the moment. Yinns finds what he's looking for.

"There's four of 'em. Damn. Okay..." He arms four Spider Bombs. "Initiate Auto Tweak, target variable "Spider" delta four. Destination variable "EMP", "SlowAcid", "Compress" and "Det30". Kupo."

The vest hums for a few seconds, then he drops the four spider-shaped explosives. They burrow into the walls and find the pinpointed targets, burrow into them, and after 30 seconds, burst into a small Electromagnetic forcefield. The bombs are completely shut down and become duds. A drop of acid was also placed on the bombs upon detonation, and over 18 hours, will eat away at the entire explosive, removing it from existance.

Yinns heads outside, where his family waits.
"Finished, kupo. I'm overjoyed to see you all safe."

"What happened?"

"...Someone was hired to assassinate us. The assassin planted bombs in the house and then targeted me. I think he took his own life when I stopped him, though..."

Connie runs up to Yinns and squeezes him. "Daddy! Be careful for us!" He pats her in comfort.

Sally speaks next.
"Yinns, this is serious. Someone wants you dead for ending Moogle Segregation. What are we going to do?"

"Kupo... I want you all to be safe. I can handle this, but Sally, Tai, Connie, you need to stay out of it. For my sake. I don't want any of you to be hurt."

"Yinns... That's not fair... I fought with you in the Moogle-Human War, so I think that I--"

"No. You need to watch our kids. I know you can fight too, but our kids can't, and someone needs to watch them. And when someone tries to hurt my family, it's personal."

"Dad!" Tai says, "Don't get hurt, alright?"

He heads back into the house, a new plan in mind. "I won't, son. I won't."

THE END... but is it really??

Doe had been on the hill until the sun had set. Doe heard someone approaching, but unable to look, all he/she could do was assume it was someone after her and stay quiet. Doe heard the foot steps stopped and Doe's ears listened.

???: "Hey, are you all right?"

Doe was shocked.

???: "You're bleeding pretty badly, it's covering the ground around you..."

Doe moved a little to show that he/she was alive.

???: "Oh shit, you're alive!"

Doe felt rather large hands on his/her back and screamed out in agony. Doe's back was twisted rather badly. After quite the struggle, whoever it was, was carrying Doe.

Doe: "I can't go to the hospital."

The stranger seemed to understand and didn't ask why.
