The Runaways In Tokyo

Chapter 5

The Mysterious Girl vs the Beast

The mysterious girl takes aim at the beast as it starts to charge.

'BANG! BANG! BANG!'

The Mysterious girl fires at the beast!

'Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh'

The beast dodges the three shots quickly and continues to charge.

"Shit…I missed all three!" The Mysterious girl says, panicking.

"It's fast!"

The beast closes the distance and attacks, swinging his right arm with his singular claw at The mysterious girl.

The mysterious girl Dodges backward and just barely gets hit.

"Ahh…I barely dodged that attack!" The Mysterious girl says as she crashes hard to the ground.

"Ah, I scuffed my shoulder quite a bit. But I have no time to worry about a simple injury like that because the beast is charging at me again!"

The beast does the same attack, swinging at her with his right arm.

This time, the girl decided to duck downwards and make a break towards the nearest building.

The beast misses, and the girl makes it to the building.

"Right, I'm going to have to climb this wall really quickly!" The Mysterious girl says as she tries to reload her two pistols rapidly.

The Mysterious girl runs just about 25 feet up the wall before jumping off, doing a mid-air backflip, and firing.

'BANG! BANG!'

The Mysterious girl fires.

The beast manages to dodge one shot, but the other hits his left upper shoulder.

"AHHH!" The beast screams in pain.

"Yes! The bullet penetrated him! That means your skin isn't that hard, which means only a couple more shots before I put you down." The Mysterious girl says.

"Ahh…That hurt, you know!" The beast says in agony.

"Good! It's meant to hurt!" The Mysterious girl says while shouting at him.

The beast, in pain, looks at the mysterious girl with an angry face and prepares for another charge.

"Okay, here he comes!" The girl prepares her pistols for two shots.

The beast starts to charge!

'BANG! BANG!'

This time, the Mysterious girl fires perfectly, both shots going straight toward the beast's head; still, the beast dodges both. Not easily, though, as one of the bullets grazes his right cheek.

"Shit I missed again!" The mysterious girl says.

"I thought I had him there!" The Mysterious girl says in desperation as she prepares to dodge his next attack.

The beast closes in fast and gets ready to attack! However, this time, the beast changes his attack, and instead of using his right arm to attack, he goes for a kick.

"Right, knowing the beast, he will attack with his right arm again, so I'm just going to dodge dowards again." The Mysterious girl says quietly to herself.

The Mysterious girl dodges downwards, but the beast predicts this and kicks into her left side hard.

This kick sends the girl flying to the right and crashing into a nearby cop car.

"Ahhh!" The Mysterious girl says as she holds onto her left side in pain.

"That hurt. Oh, and it seems I'm bleeding from my mouth. If I had to guess, I broke around 2-3 ribs." The Mysterious girl says in pain.

The mysterious girl panted while trying to stand back up and fight again.

"Grrr…this beast is a pain!" He's relentless, the mysterious girl says as she stands preparing her pistol once more.

The beast realizes his attack worked, so he prepares to charge again.

The beast runs at full speed towards the Mysterious Girl.

"Okay, here he comes!" The Mysterious girl says.

The Mysterious girl gets ready to shoot, but the beast suddenly appears before her eyes.

"What! That was fast!" 

The Mysterious quickly decides to throw herself to the right, barely dodging the beast.

The beast missed the Mysterious girl.

The Mysterious girl looks at the Beast, trying to get herself back up.

"Are my eyes deceiving me? Is he lifting a cop car with one hand or more like a claw?"

The Mysterious girl sits there in shock at what she is looking at.

The beast glances over…

"LOOK OUT!" A cop says as he grabs the girl just before the beast throws the cop car at them.

"Whew," the cop says, out of breath.

"That almost got you just now. I'm glad I got here just in time, though."

The Mysterious girl looks at the cop with an expression of gratitude.

"Thank you." The Mysterious girl says as she bows her head towards him.

"Na, don't worry about it, but now we still have that problem."

The cop pulls out his gun from his belt and takes aim.

"Okay, I'm going to try distracting it. You go up behind and shoot it in the back, got it!" The cop says.

"Okay, that's fine, but I have one question: were the other cops?"

"I'm sure you noticed, but the cops around us are currently dead or badly injured, which means you would have to wait for backup, and of course, I'm your first line of backup."

"Although there is only one of me currently."

"Okay, and when are the others getting here?"

"Who knows, a lot of the other cops are helping the injured people or helping to stop the fire, I guess."

"What a pain, but I guess that's how it is, huh? Anyway, you ready?" The Mysterious girl says as she manages to pick herself back up.

"Yeah."

"Okay then, let's go!

The Mysterious girl dashes to the right, and the cop starts firing at the beast.

The beast realizes that the cop's bullets seem to have little to no effect, so he charges towards the cop.

The beast creates an opening for the Mysterious girl to jump behind him.

"Hey! Behind you, beast!" The Mysterious shouts do drag his attention away from the cop.

The beast stops and turns around to see the Mysterious girl pointing guns right at him.

'BANG! BANG!'

The Mysterious girl shoots right towards the beast. But unfortunately, both shots miss him.

"What? I missed both shots again!"

The beast closes the distance, grabs the Mysterious girl's right leg, twists her in the air, and throws her.

The Mysterious girl gets thrown down the long road to the beast's left.

"Hey— kid? Are you ok?" The cop shouts worriedly.

"Shit! Is she unconscious? Dam, I guess I will have to somehow handle this by myself." The cop says as he retakes fire.

'BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!'

"Huh— what's happening? My head hurts. I want to move, but I can't. It hurts so much."

The Mysterious girl tries to get up, but as she just gets to her knees, she vomits blood and ends up falling back down to the ground.

"God, it hurts so much to move right now."

"Sorry, cop, but you might be alone for a bit." The Mysterious girl says, but only she can hear the words.

The Mysterious girl keeps trying to get herself back up. On the other hand, the cop is about to fight a battle he can't win.

"Come on…Come on! Reload faster!" The cop says in a rush.

The beast closes the distance, and just as the beast is about to attack, a shot is fired off in the distance.

'BOOOM'

With his fast reaction time, the Beast realizes where the shot is coming from and makes a big jump to dodge it.

Instead of the shot hitting, the shot makes contact with the ground, causing a big explosion.

The cop gets flown backward, and his police hat falls off.

"Woah…What—What the hell was that?" The cop says with a shocked expression.

The cop turns around and sees a Giant mech just standing behind him.

"Alright! Backup is here; there is no need to worry now!" The guy in the mech says.

"Huh…what the what just happened?" The Mysterious girl says as she slowly regains consciousness

The Mysterious girl looks up and sees the giant mech standing directly behind the cop.

"Woah…the mech is enormous. It looks like something you would see out of a war movie like it's camouflaged, or, to put it simply, I would describe it as a walking tank. The only difference is this mech only has one gun and a blaster. The blaster is on his right arm, and the gun is on its left."

The mysterious girl says this as she slowly picks herself up from the ground and gets ready to fight again.

"Okay, before we go any further, I want to tell you guys my name so this fight will be much easier."

"My name is Aota! Now that that's out of the way, let's finish this thing, shall we!" Aota says, booming with confidence as he gets ready to shoot another heavy shot from his mech.

"Huh, this guy is here to help? Well, then, I guess I better not leave this guy alone." The Mysterious girl says as she picks her pistols up from the ground.

"Listen, I know I just got here, but I can tell this beast is fast. So that means we'll have to predict its movements somehow."

"Hey, cop guy, that girl over there, can she fight?"

"Huh, oh her, yeah, she can fight, but she's hurt pretty bad right now."

"Uhh huh. Hey girl! Can you fight or what?!" Aota screams over to the Mysterious girl.

"Of course I can!" The Mysterious girl replies.

"Okay, I have a plan, although this plan really relies on you. Do you think you can handle that?"

"Yeah! I should be able to hand it.

"Right, the plan is to shoot my blaster directly at it. It will most likely dodge, but that's where you come in. I need you to predict where it dodges and shoot at him, ok?"

"Yeah, I got it!"

"I should be able to handle just that much, right?" The Mysterious girl mumbles to herself.

"Alright, here we go!" Aota shouts as the beast starts to charge toward him and the cop.

'BOOOM'

Aota fires the shot directly at the beast. Of course, to no surprise, the beast dodges just by jumping in the air.

"Right, how will the beast doge…oh, I see."

The mysterious girl manages to predict how the beast will dodge, so she closes the distance and takes fire in the air, where the beast jumps.

'BANG! BANG!'

The Mysterious girl fires both shots, but to her surprise, the beast dodges them mid-air.

"WHAT! Oh shit…"

The beast lands on the ground and charges at the Mysterious girl. Using his left arm, he swings at her, sending her flying into a nearby wall.

"Ahh, I see my body simply hit its limit; that's why I was unable to dodge. Now, I got flown into a wall and can't move, and my vision is blurry. Oh, and there is a lot more blood coming out of my head now." The Mysterious girl says as she slowly starts to lose consciousness.

"Am I going to die?" The Mysterious girl slowly starts to pass out.

The beast gets ready to finish off The Mysterious Girl.

"Hey! Over here, you beast!" Aota starts firing his second gun rapidly, which is similar to a drum gun, trying to get the attention of the beast.

To his surprise, it works, but not in his favor, as the beast turns around and makes a massive leap onto the mech.

The beast starts to attack the mech's window, slowly breaking it.

"Fuck! Hey, come on, that's not fair. This mech only has high shooting power, but when it comes to mobility, it's terrible!"

Aota panics, trying to shrug off the beast.

"Huh?" The Mysterious girl heard noises coming from the distance.

"It sounds like someone is jumping on a bunch of cars in a row right now.

'THUMP, THUMP'

The Mysterious girl opens her eyes and sees someone jumping super high like they are flying.

The Mysterious girl opens her eyes wider and realizes…

"It's that kid!"

"I made it!" Kyo says as he finally lands on the ground, entering the battlefield.
