Hana walked along the beach late one night, just walking. This wasn't the bubbly yet creepy Hana Chizuko, though. This was the more mature and creepy "Puppet Master" seeing as though that was the name she had been given after a while. She wore a gray tank top and black shorts, which revealed her little collection of scars and other torture wounds all over her arms and legs, but she didn't care. When she was the Puppet Master, her personality was completely different.
She stood before the waters of the ocean, a blank expression on her tanned face. Some people liked to walk on the beach at night sometimes, perhaps she could find another victim?

Kage sat on the beach, near the spot where he had faced Caitlyn on that day awhile back. He was beginning to doze off, thinking of old memories about friends that he hadn't seen in some time. There was Caitlyn, first and foremost, who had schooled him and the Crystal Beasts twice and told his fortune. Then, there was Steve, whose Fish Deck hadn't stood a chance. After that, there'd been a long and lonesome drought, until the glorious fateful night when the giant had met Phoenix, as well as his beloved Tekka. Yes, there certainly were a lot of memories... enough to make a big guy like Kage want to just... fall asleep...

After looking around long enough, the child(whom looked much older at the moment) spotted someone not too far off. It was a big guy, and he seemed to be falling asleep. This made her grin to herself, time for action. She took out the father puppet from her bag before putting it back in real quick. "Wish me luck, Dad." she muttered before walking towards the man, expression still blank.

Kage stirred, but only as memories of Satoru and Mina flashed before his eyes. He'd never forget the time that he'd spent in the Ookami sector, learning everything Cort had to teach him about the world of firearms. In fact, it was those two friends who had been instrumental in the defeat of Aiden. Had they not been willing to make Gunslingers out of Tekka, Phoenix, Jack, and Matsuda, there was a good chance that quite a few of them would have lost their lives. It was also thanks to the giant's old teacher that he now kept himself armed with the two ancient revolvers, and had trained himself to never truly sleep while in the presence of potentially dark forces.

As Hana walked closer, a sick grin came across her face like it normally would. This was gonna be easy, he hadn't even noticed her yet! As she got behind the guy, she took a knife out from her bag. She normally liked torturing her victims, hearing their screams of pain and such, but the first thing she would have to do was stab at his feet or legs so that he couldn't escape very easily. With that in mind she quickly went for his feet with the sharp knife.

The glint of a blade caught Kage's sharp eyes, and his Gunslinger instincts kicked in immediately. Hands that were amazingly fast for their size repelled the big guns at his hips and fired, sending slugs straight for where the knife had been spotted with a thundrous report. With any luck (as if luck really had much to do with it), the weapon would be repelled, along with his attacker.

Hana jumped back at her victim's reaction, avoiding any sort of injury, but she did drop her knife in the process. Instead of running off or attacking again(the latter being what bubbly Hana would do), she simply reached for her knife once again, a smirk on her face as her eyes never left the man. She was careful not to speak, at least not yet anyway. Her green eyes gave off a haunting sort of feeling to most that saw them when she was like this.

Not one to stay in one spot once attacked, Kage jumped up, swinging his legs behind him and firing several more rounds at the luminous green orbs whose owner had tried to slice open his best means of conveyance like a fine leftover turkey breast.
"Speak, and make yourself known, harrier!" shouted the giant, blazing pistols still trained on his (mostly) unseen assailant.

Hana dodged the hits once again, expression blank until the man spoke. At that she let out a giggle, but not a cheerful one like normal Hana would. The Puppet Master's laugh sounded much older and frightening. It would be incredibly hard for some to tell she was thirteen.
"You certainly are on edge." she commented for a moment before stepping a little closer to a near by light source to reveal herself. "Victims like you make tearing you apart even more exciting." she added with a grin before returning to her expressionless face.

Persephone had been minding her own bussiness, walking along alone like she would on any normal day. But this time, however, the result of her walk wasn't exactly so normal. That is, most people wouldn't expect to hear creepy laughter and gunshots. Persephone scowled, immediatly sprinting towards the source of the sound.
After a moment the girl skidded to a halt, shocked to see a familar figure not far off in a pool of lamplight.
Shit, Persephone thought. It's psycho-girl.

Two gunshots rang through the air, bullets embedding in the sand but an inch or two from the girl's foot. A third shot barreled through the night, hitting the base of the knife close to where it was being gripped and sending it spinning out of the wielder's hand.
"Bulls eye." Satoru said, emerging from the shadows and making his way over to Kage, gait as uneven as ever thanks to the old bullet wound. A handgun rested in his hand, and his eyes never left the smallest Tora of the group even as a taller female approached.

Hana watched as the knife was knocked out of her grasp and two new arrivals came to the big guy's rescue. One was Persephone, whom she had met in a not so friendly fight at HQ a while back. The other was another guy, the gunslinger that knocked her knife away from her.
After a moment or two of silence, the Puppet Master looked at the three that surrounded her. She looked over at Persephone for a second. "Pers, is that you?" she asked with false surprise. "Long time no see, my friend."
She then turned to the smaller of the two men. "Nice shot, by the way, but it's not enough to stop me." she looked around at the three once again, noting that they were all Tora. "We're all in the same clan, interesting, huh?" she asked. That would make it much more easier to hunt these three down later, should they escape, that is.

"Yes, fascinating." Persephone retorted, crossing her arms and giving a dramatic eye-roll. "I can see you haven't changed much. You're just as warped as usual."
The edgy girl scowled, recalling the not-so-friendly encounter with Hana at the Tora HQ. There was still a nice-sized dent left the the wall as a result, as well as some lovely bloodstains in the carpet. On top of that, Persephone still had the long scars running down both her forearms. Though it seemed the psycho-girl had made a recovery from her own injuries.
"In case you haven't noticed it's three to one. You're slightly outnumbered."

Satoru took notice of both the girls scars, surprised to find the smaller of the two having many many more of the lines crisscrossing her flesh. Great, a seasoned fighter or killer. No doubt she'd have some trick. "Oi, Chatterbox," He said, referring to the taller female Tora. "You might want to keep your guard up. She's got more than one trick up her sleeve." His gun was ready and his reflexes were sharper than ever but even he could miss when taking a shot. It was rare, but he preferred it if this wasn't that one time in all the other hundreds and thousands. The willowy girl would wind up getting hurt if that was the case.

Kage looked up to see two of his old friends. Persephone, the woman who had hired the giant for grocery services, and Satoru... Well, how could he forget his teacher?
"Cort... Phone..." Kage mumbled, keeping his guns aimed at the shorter girl. He still couldn't believe that he'd almost been hacked to bits by a kid... and such a mutilated one, too. "You came to save me. This can't be coincidence, can it?"
