• Laren scowled at her long-time rival. "What brings you here, Carter-Teme?" she asked, placing her hands on her hips after lighting a cigarette. "Aye, when did you start smoking, mate?" he smirked.

    "Is that your buisiness? Buzz off, Teme." she yelled, clenching her fists.

    "Maybe it is, you never know, aye?" he shrugged.

    Fhoomh!

    A large bullet from Laren's gun barely missed Carter, and hit the tree. She shoved the gun closer to his face, to where the blade on the end came close to touching the tip of his nose.

    "I think you got a new toy." he said, looking at her from around the front of her gun.

    "Do you ever know when to shut up?!" she asked, lowering her gun.

    She looked at him a bit longer, then looking away in disgust.

    "Why are you here? I demand to know." she said.

    "Just finishing that bounty you left up, hun." he laughed.

    "For Mengetsami Satashimi? Hell, I can take care of it, buzz off." she shooed.

    "By the way, when'd you get that pretty lil' eyepatch?" he asked, standing up and walking over to her. He smiled and poke the patch.
    "You lose something?" he snickered.

    "Don't touch it!" she yelled, punching his hand and holding her missing eye, or, once missing, seeing as it was replaced by a demonic eye.
    "So you did lose it, aye? Lemme see it!" he said, trying to piss her off a little more. "Ugh, it's a really long story. Just tell me where We're supposed to get this bounty done."

    "Who said I was sent to work with you, aye?" he asked, snatching the bounty sheet out of his pocket and waving it around. "Boss sent me on this job, and you're not invited!~" he chirped, as Laren stumbled around, grabing for the paper.
    "Gimme!" she demanded.

    "Aha, just like the old days, you always were a whiner." he said, pulling out a large enrgy sword, it glowed a bright electronic blue. It made a hissing sound as it formed.

    "So I'm not the only one with a new toy, eh?" she said.

    "Plus, the gun isn't the only newer thing I have. " she said, remembering her strange power.

    "Let's test it, shall we, Shelia?" he yelled, as Laren steped farther back.

    "...You're on."
