Despite Akiba's challenge, his opponent was less than eager to jump into the fray. It did not matter however, as it gave him time to analyze his situation and the appropriate action to take against this masked woman.

She was rather tall compared to him, a good 4 inches, so any strength match-up may not be in his favour. The lack of any visible weapon on the individual also seemed particular but the white briefcase she held may house the missing variable. Something else caught his eye as well, a slight glint when she shifts her weight, a set of knives which were securely strapped by her thighs and hidden behind her long coat.

Akiba grinned underneath his mask, patting himself on the back for taking the time to notice such things to give him as big of an advantage as possible. Time is of the essence however, and he knew exactly what course of action to take, readying his weapon to fire.

''"More armed children..." ''Alice thought to herself as her heart sank at the scene. First, the red haired girl who executed a perfect ambush shot and now another masked child with a monstrous looking contraption of a weapon. ''"She would be about their age by now..." ''her subconscious reminded her, of course, it got the better of her.

"You children do realise this is private property, correct?" Alice lectured Akiba, but spoke loud enough for the rest of the intruders to hear. Hopefully, this conflict can end without drawing blood.

She took a generous breath of air and tasted the crisp winter as she did so. Several clicks echoed in front of her as she saw the boy point his rifle at her head. A dangerous situation indeed, but Alice remained unmoved. She managed to stealthly unslasp the bindings of her briefcase in this tense situation where both parties knew what was going on.

The boy was forcing her hand, an effective strategy.


 * BANG* a shot rang out into the air followed by the high pitched *PING* of metal bouncing off metal.

Akiba's rifle was smoking by the barrel, obviously from the bullet he had fired but Alice had changed her stance, with a blade as white as the snow surrounding them in her hands and above her head as if she had finished a strike. The white ribbon on her pommel flowed steadily with the wind.

"You children need to leave."

But Akiba responded by raising his rifle again, pulling the trigger several times.


 * BANG*  *BANG*  *BANG*  *BANG*

*PING*  ​*PING*  ​*PING*  ​*PING*

The booms where deafening to bystanders as the high calibre bullets left the weapons chamber. However, they were always met with the satisfying sound of calculated deflection. With each one, Alice advanced close to Akiba until they were only 2 metres apart. She stared down at her shorter opponent, blade still in hand and remained there.

"Leave." she stated once more.
