Day Two: Evening

[Burter]

Face to Face

Aero, Celipa, Kirano, Uno, Zangya

Uno was running, but not really sure why. Maybe he was eager to get in a fight, or perhaps more eager to get away from a potential one. All he knew was that he was in pain and staying in one place, alone, was only going to get him so far. Dos had caused him to lose both of his allies: one to greed, the other to honor. But he was still alive, and still in the game. As long as he was here, he may as well play.

Zangya was leaping over logs in the opposite direction, heading right for him. She wasn't running from anybody, but she was under the same ideal that staying in one place was a bad idea, especially after what she had just done. She hadn't totally grasped the concept of what she had done when she poured the vile of poison into Bojack's drink.

In a clearing, Uno came around a tree and Zangya lept over a fallen trunk. They came into each others views and immediately moved to take action. The shotgun blast from Uno just missed a backflipping Zangya, who threw a shuriken in mid-flip and missed into a tree.

The two were right in front of each other. Zangya had one hand to the man's neck, holding him at bay with a single ninja star. Against her bloody head was a shotgun barell, gripped tough by Uno.

"There's an easier solution to this," Zangya said, shivering a bit.

Uno shook his head, "I've tried getting friends. As you can see by the bullet hole, that's not a mistake I'm making again."

Suddenly there came an intrusion. A foot broke between them, breaking them apart. In a matter of seconds, the situation had changed.

Celipa the wounded saiyan was behind Uno, holding up a fork against the back of his back. Kirano was aiming his pistol at the hand of Zangya while Aero, already in his cat-like feline form, was sitting atop a tall branch off the ground. "Good to see you again, Zangya."

Uno remained in position, his shotgun pointed down. "What the hell is this?!"

"He attacked me!" Zangya suddenly blurted, "You're going to help me, right?"

"Like you helped Jack?" Celipa said sternly.

Aero jumped down from the branch and landed firmly on his clawed feet. He began to spin his binoculars around with the strap, as if using them as a roped weapon. "We're not here to take sides. Kill them both."

Zangya immediately turned and cracked Kirano in the face before running off, just in time to get kicked in the jaw by Aero. She smashed into the tree nearby with her side and spun around it, landing on her ass. She struggled to get up, just in to get cracked again, this time by the swung binoculars.

"Stop!" She was shouting, backing up against the tree. "I didn't mean to hurt anybody! I just did what I had to--" CRACK!"

Again, a punch shattering her facial structure, breaking her nose. She slammed head-first backwards into the tree trunk and landed on her ass, stunned. "Bojack is DEAD!" Aero was shouting. "So don't give me any shit about not wanting to hurt anybody!"

"Aero!" He heard, which turned out to be from Celipa. She had knocked Uno's shotgun out of his hand but was not holding his off by her palm to his face. He was throwing punches into her gut, which was already hurt by the wounds in her shoulders. "Help!"

"You got this?" Aero asked Kirano.

The blonde smirked, "Oh, yea."

Uno noticed Aero coming a mile away, though there wasn't a whole lot he could do with such speed and power against him. He shoved Celipa forward and jumped over her, avoiding getting pummeled by her friend. He set his feet on the tree and used it to jump back, kicking at Aero and missing, landing firmly on his feet. He let out a grunt, clutching his bullet wound.

"You can't beat me like that," Aero said.

Unlike last time, Uno had a plan. He knew instantly what to do to get out of this mess. "I'm not trying to beat you," he said and then rolled for the shotgun. Before Aero could move, Uno had it aimed at the female saiyan and let loose.

Celipa had just stood up, ready to strike, when the shotgun shell blasted in and out of her torso, clunking into the tree behind. Aero's eyes bulged at what had happened, causing him to leap at the corpse, "Cel!" He shrieked, "No!"

Another shotgun blast shattered into the thigh of Aero, spurting his blood all over behind him. He fell right next to Celipa and instantly grabbed at her fork.

Uno was running away now, ready to live to fight another day. He had taken a life, or so he assumed, but it was worth it to get out of that predicament. He was, for the most part, happy to have survived because this time, he had done it without the help of would-be allies. He had finally, truly--

A three-pronged utensil cut into the back of his neck and stuck out the other side. In a flash, Uno felt everything slip away and he landed hard on the ground, shattering his head on a rock.

Meanwhile, Zangya was being flung into the fifth tree of the day, this time falling forward and knocking her head on a branch. She stumbled away from Kirano, now scared and knowing she couldn't fight him in this state. "Wait!" She was saying, "Stop!"

A gunshot went off and the pistol blasted into her back. She fell forward after yelping helplessly. "Why didn't you kill me?" He asked, "You had the poison. You could have. Why did you keep me alive?"

"I--" she was trying to say, focussing too much on the pain. "I had business with Jack! I had to! Don't kill me!"

"I'm not," he said. "As long as you're alive, Aero and Celipa need me here. The second I kill you, I outlive my usefullness. No you're going to walk away, and we're going to hunt you down, and rest assured, eventually...they will kill you."

Zangya, terrified beyond belief, stumbled backwards again as Kirano fired two more shots, nailing her in the shoulder and the arm. She spun around and crawled off, stumbling to her feet to limp.

"Where'd she go?" Aero asked Kirano, walking over to her.

"She got away," he said simply.

He turned around and raised his eyebrow as Aero was holding Celipa in his arms, shaking his head. "She's dead, dude," he said with a frown, "Celipa's dead."
