Persephone cracked a cat-like grin, her eyes still focused on Hana like a hawk.
"No, 'twas fate." She chimed dramatically. "My psychic powers told me an innocent citizen was in the danger, so here I am." By this point, Persephone had pulled out her swtichblade, now ready to use it. Although compare to the two males armed with guns nearby, her knife was a sad comparison.

Hana grinned, shaking her head at the sight of the three with their weapons. "Psychic powers, hm?" she asked the older girl. "Well, can't say I don't believe you, since my little puppet family talks to me all the time, but something tells me your 'powers' didn't prepare you for me." her lips curved more into her twisted grin. "My own parents told me the darkness in me can out match a demon." she stated this with pride, just like her parents had when they told her. "They were so proud!"
She let out a little sigh, smile fading as her emerald eyes rested on the trio before her. "But enough of me, I'm sure you're all tired of listening to a little Puppet Master." she decided to add. The name was quite well known now, they would most likely know who she was after hearing that.

"Hello Kage, long time no see. Hows your girlfriend? Good? Good." He said this all rather fast, not turning to face the younger man. It was obvious he wasn't here for chit chat.
Satoru hardly even blinked as the Puppet Master revealed herself. "Ah, thought I recognized you from somewhere. You're the serial killer?" He asked. "They call you psychologically tortured, you know. And being on the news isn't the best way to stay under the radar unless you're loaded." He was speaking from experience on this one. He gave a shrug. "Though I still can't believe the amount of money is offered as a reward for turning you in..." He trailed off.

Kage grinned at Cort, familiar with the old fast-talking 'Not-the-Time-for-Talk' routine. The giant wasn't sure how an ace shot like Satoru's, or a jack shot like his own could be dodged or otherwise ignored by this Puppet Master girl. Still, the name rang a few chimes in his brain, brining back images of a few wanted posters and ads he'd seen on the news at the Wok from time to time.
"You know what they say about the darkness in one's heart," he began. "All toasters toast toast, and also that a heart can't live if the head's in fragments on the beach." A pacifist by nature, Kage would of course feel bad if he managed to take the murderer's life, but the city was in danger with her around.

Satoru couldn't help but smack his forehead in irritation. "All toasters toast toast?" He asked sarcastically. "Really? That was the perfect time for something dramatic and you pick 'all toasters toast toast?'" He shook his head sadly, returning his gaze to the Puppet Master immediately afterward. "Sometimes I'm embarrassed to know you." He muttered, making sure nothing potentially deadly was about to happen.

Hana looked back and forth at the two men as they spoke to her and one another. "So what if I'm 'psychologically tortured' as you say?" she asked curiously. She laid a hand over her other scared arm as if it were something precious to her. "As you can see that wouldn't be the only way I've been 'tortured' if that's what you wanna call it."
The Puppet Master let out a sigh. Sure, she loved to talk, but she was letting these people know way too much. "I'm talking too much, aren't I?" she asked calmly, as if the current situation she was in didn't bother her at all(which it really didn't).

"Yeah!" shouted Kage, aiming a gun at the sky and firing a couple of blanks. "Less talk, more fighting spirit! Just who the hell do you think we are?!" It wasn't the pacifist Kage in charge now; it was the one that actually enjoyed the thrill of the fight. The villain saying that he/she talking too much meant that there was about to be an attack, and the giant was now ready. He just hoped Cort and Phone would be, too.

Hana raised a brow at the big guy's question. "I dunno, a bunch of idiots that think they can hurt me?" she said with a shrug. She sighed, stretching her arms out and falling backwards until her back touched the sand. "But if you think you can, be my guest." she commented before closing her eyes. "Either you all can leave me and I'll hunt you down later, or charge after me now and face the consequences." she grinned. "You're choice."

Persephone raised a finger, as if to suggest some sort of idea.
"I, for one, am all for getting rid of this problem before it gets, you know... worse." She never once took her eyes off Hana while she spoke. Persephone wasn't the type to abide by strong morals, and considering she and the apparent 'seriel killer' were never on good terms, she had no objections to using violence to 'fix' this situation.

Hatsu Itonami, being a little city in the land of cat girls, sushi, and school uniforms, was no stranger to the world of anime and its expressions. As such, any of the present citizens could have easily imagined a large sweatdrop forming at Kage's temple as Hana answered his question.
"It's, eh... kind of a rhetorical question..." he muttered, eyes half-closed. Looking at the other female, the giant grinned in anticipation. "You just read my mind, Phone. Let's shoot this bitch in the face while she's got her guard down!" Again, not very Kage-like at all, but the news had not been flattering to this Puppet Master character, some of the evening segments showing clips from the crime-scenes. The wanderer had had quite enough of all this weird stuff happening, so getting rid of the Puppet Master before his friends and girlfriend could be put in danger was well ahead of every other current priority.

Hana sat up straight and looked at the group around her. "One, I know what kind of question it was, just wanted to be a smart ass. Two, that wasn't too nice calling me that." she said, though her expression didn't show any signs of being offended. She sighed loudly. "Anywho, you guys wanna play hard, guess I'll give it to ya."
With that, the brunette jumped up and grabbed the knife that had knocked out of her hand earlier. She stood still, yet grasping the knife tighter and more secure than before. "I'll be nice and let you three make the first move." she said in a taunting way.

"Gee, thanks." Satoru said, not even blinking as he fired a shot at her right knee. The bullet whizzing through the air and heading right for the little Tora. If she didn't move it'd shatter her knee and make it impossible for her to move.

Hana was prepared for an attack, dodging just enough to escape with a small graze on her knee from the shot. This made her frown mentally, normally she would have dodged the hit completely, this guy had to be a good shot to do that much.
When her feet touched the ground once again, she looked over at him, grinning a little. "Nice shot." she said, sounding slightly impressed. "Who's next?" she asked the other two. She always playing with her victims before getting too serious.

"Enough screwing around, Hana." Persephone growled. Unbeknownst to the others, she was allowing her lighter and mace to slid down her sleeve and into her hand. "You may enjoy toying with people but..." She smirked. "If you're going to kill someone do it. Just don't stand around talking about it."
At that exact moment, Persephone managed to slide closer to to Hana, whipping out the Mace and using the lighter to turn it into a makeshift flame-thrower. Considering she didn't really have a gun or any other sort of long-distance weapon, Persephone would just have to be creative and improvise. And besides, she had two armed people with her. Last time she was with Hana it had just been the two of them. And itwas pretty clear who had won that fight.

Kage grinned, enjoying for the first time in a long while how well he was able to silently coordinate thoughts with Persephone. The giant's thumbs fanned over the hammers of the ancient guns and emptied the cylinders from every angle that wasn't covered by the older female's flamethrower attack, leaving the Puppet Master hard-pressed to dodge everything without a scratch.
