As I was running to work, I passed an alley. I... really wished that I hadn't glanced down it. I stopped in my tracks. "Dammit..." I quickly backed up, pulling a large red and black metallic box from my messenger bag. [i]"Well guess I'm taking this for an earlier test run than I anticipated."[/i] I walked back to the alley, pulling on the slimmer end of the box, a handle and trigger pulled out, and a small scope popped up from the top of the box, and a handle appeared from the side. I took aim at the man with the swords, cornering the boy and pulled the trigger. The bullet ejected from the larger end of the box and slammed into the ground a few inches from[i][/i] his feet. I pulled the handle back and a cartridge ejected from it. [i]"Haha! The sniper works!"[/i] I tried to hide my excitement and glared at the man.

"Back off from the kid or the next one goes through your skull." I had yet to notice the woman flying above us, and now that I got a better look at the kid, something felt oddly familiar about him. Had I seen him somewhere before...? No time to focus on that now, who knows how deranged this guy might be. Good thing this thing has a few more... surprises if that guy decides to attack. He kind of looks like a character from a videogame... is he cosplaying or something...?
