Day Two: Early Morning

[Burter]

Face to Face

Kirano, Paragus, Talys, Uno

It was an easy target for the trio of warriors walking through the streets of the war-torn city. There was a blonde man standing in the middle of an intersection, as if talking to himself in his head. He was faced away with his bag at his feet, his eyes cast downwards.

Uno stood inbetween his comrades and pumped his shotgun. Paragus and Talys were both on different sides, each holding a small device. They had no bags, having stashed them away for the fight.

"Hey, pal," Uno said to the stranger. "Sorry about this."

"You..." the man began to mutter. He was visibly shaking as he looked over his shoulder, behind his blonde locks. "You're...sorry? No...I'm the one who's...sorry." He finally turned around the way, showing he was gripping a pistol. "Sorry that you picked the wrong guy to fuck with!"

They were all thinking it, but it was Talys who said it. "Oh, shit!"

Kirano was like a kid in a candy store as he unloaded his gun on the trio. Uno ducked, causing his gun to misfire up in the air. Paragus took two bullets in his torso as he tried to spin, causing him to fall backwards onto the pavement. Talys rolled to the side, moving behind a dismantled vehicle. They hadn't intended on the victim to attack them!

"What now, bitches?!" Kirano shouted, running forward at Uno. The shotgun-toting strategist took a hard bullet right in his stomach, blasting downwards. He laughed, shoving the man with glasses down to the side, and then began to run down the street, reloading his ki-gun as he ran. Talys immediately pushed himself up and gave chase.

Kirano lept over a car wrecked in the middle of the road, then spinning to aim his gun. Talys literally dodged a bullet by an inch by leaning backwards in mid-jump before kicking the blonde warrior in the chest. Kirano rolled up with Talys, smashing his body against the car and shattering the only window still on it.

Talys hit the ground, ready to strike back. However, when his head raised up, the front of the pistol hit his forehead, aiming down at him. "Time's up," Kirano told him.

"Put it down."

Kirano looked over, still holding Talys at gunpoint, About twenty feet away, Uno was holding up the shotgun with one arm and his bulletwound with the other. Paragus was behind him, also nursing his wounds.

The blonde just grinned at the situation. He was thriving off of holding all three of these warriors to their breaking points. "You put it down," he commanded, "You don't have the balls to shoot me and you don't have the skill to hit, anyway."

"Don't push me," Uno warned, his glasses starting to follow down to the rim of his nose.

"Shoot him!" Talys was shouting, "What the hell are you waiting for?!"

Kirano was still grinning as he looked down to Talys. "Can you handle it, four-eyes? Can you trust yourself to pull that trigger and hit me before I blow his brains out? Well? Can you?"

Uno started to shake. This wasn't his area of expertise. He thrived when it came to strategy and remained calm from the backline, giving out orders and directing the battlefield. But now everything depended on him. His life, Talys' life, Paragus' life...it all came down to this one shot. ...And he couldn't bring himself to pull that trigger.

"Fuck this!" Talys shouted. As Kirano looked at Uno, Talys grabbed hold of his arm and smashed it in the wrong direction, shattering the elbow joint and breaking the limb.

Kirano's eyes lit up, as if suddenly his personality shattered when he felt the meaning of pain. "Gah!" He grunted, falling to one knee. Somehow, he kept hold of his pistol, which he quickly used to slam into Talys' ankle and run into the nearest building.

Now with no consequence for missing, Uno fired the shotgun, hitting the window behind Kirano as he vanished into the building.

Nobody gave chase. Talys stood up, fuming. "If you're going to hold that," he told Uno, "Learn to fucking use it."

"Look, I..." Uno began.

"No, you look," Talys said, "Grow a set of balls or get out of my face."

Talys shouldered past the man, causing him to fall against the car thanks to his wound. Paragus was kneeling, still hurt from his own gunshots. As Talys treated his saiyan comrade, Uno was looking down.

Then he heard the last thing in the world he ever wanted to hear.

Looks like you need some help, old friend...
