Chapter 6 - Act 6: Making a stand Pt:2

Gripping her chest due to the sharp pain affecting her heart once again this time instead of feeling the pain of her lover dying she stands in the distances seeing him being shot down.

"Kael!!!"Picking up speed to reach the spot Kael died.

"It's the Arken's Family Girl."Said Lina as she follows in quick succession running to her rifle on the ground.

Looking over at Seirin stopping before her as she falls to the ground, grabbing upon Kael's dead body. "You…"

"He's suffered enough haven't he? Leave us alone." Spoken from Seirin in complete distress.

"Lady Ozen move out of the way I'll finish her." Standing in a shooting stance as her rifle is pointed at Seirin head from afar.

"Please just leave us alone…"Seirin begins pleading for her life as tears comes down her face.

"Why are you cry for brother? He betrayed the family and killed father." Ozen speaks to Seirin in a confused manner.

"He must have had a reason. He simply wouldn't do it for nothing, right?" Said Seirin.

"That's what he said but why my father of all people?" Begins crying.

"Lady Ozen, I said get away from her. She must die as she's a traitor as well." Shouted Lina far away from the rest of the group.

"I can't. I don't understand what's right anymore!" Falling to the ground Ozen sits closer next to Seirin.

"Damnit!" Said Lina.

Holding Kael tightly to her Seirin begins speaking to Kael dead body in a caring tone. "I see things didn't go your way over here either. It's looking hard for fate to be on our side today huh?" With no answer, Seirin remains silent looking at Kael's dead face.

"Seirin!" Shouted Gale running down the street.

"More of them?!" Said Lina as she points her rifle at Gale.

"Your sister herself has come to the battlefield for you. This is looking bad." Said Gale in a stressed tone.

"Yeah, looks like we just gotta work harder to keep our dream alive." Placing Kael body on the ground, Seirin stands back up to ready herself for battle. "Ozen, your brother will be fine. He'll be back up on his feet in a matter of time. So be ready to give him a special welcome back ok?"

"What are you talking about?" Said Ozen.

"You'll see, just wait." Said Seirin. As she takes Ozen's shotgun for herself. "This will do" Turning around to face Lina with her rifle directed at her still. "Handle her for me would ya Gale. I'll deal with my sister."

"Yes, ma'am. Please be careful." Said Gale worried about Seirin safely.

"Mmm." Running down the street Seirin shoots her way past all the low ranked members of the Gailent family. Pushing far enough Seirin would run into her sister in no time among the still rainy streets. With only a pistol and shotgun to wield in battle Seirin is faced against her sister armed with an automatic rifle with a knife attached to the barrel alongside a group of men from family.

"I see you came running towards your death." Said Marceline.

"Death doesn't apply for me." Said Seirin in confidence.

"Oh I know darling. Once I kill you gently as possible, your lover is next. I'll be sure my little sister can rest in peace for good. You might be a traitor but you still deserve better for being the person you are." Spoken from Marceline in a calm tone.

"You don't have to do this you know. This can all be over if you gave it some thought."

"Never once I kill you two the Gailent family next. We'll be ending it all tonight, once and for all."Pointing her rifle at Seirin, Marceline releases a full clip of ammo.

Running behind the building nearest to her, Seirin retaliates with releasing her own fully clip of ammunition in her pistol. After finishing a clip Seirin would quickly reload and begin firing back as soon as possible. Unfortunately this constant back and forth would end in Seirin disadvantage. With no more clips left to refill her pistol, Seirin simply hides behind the wall and wait for her sister to advance with her shotgun ready to attack back. Their movements begins slowly pushing forward after zero contact of Seirin shooting back. Over a short amount of time Marceline orders the group to push forward with her in the center of the fleet headed towards Seirin. Peeking out the corner of the wall Seirin notice Marceline falling for the bait.

Spoken inside Seirin head upon planning out her next move."She fell for it. Now I just gotta wait till they're close enough to land a blow small enough to make her surrender."

With Marceline finally in range Seirin leaps from out the alley and surprises the group with a shotgun blast head first. The initial shot inflicts damage onto everyone in the front of the fleet but to Seirin surprise Marceline was waiting for this moment. Making eye contact with one another, Seirin is left in disbelief as her sister stably points her rifle directly at her head after seeing her front fleet suffer from fatal blows. With all of them falling to the ground and out of Marceline line of sight for a perfect shot, Marceline takes the shoot, releasing a barrage of bullets upon Seirin.

Falling to the ground with multiple bullets wound Seirin somehow lives the onslaught of her sister's wrath. With very little life left to live Seirin stares in her sister's dead eyes as she points the barrel of her gun to Seirin's head.

"As I promised, your death will be meaningful." Releasing the trigger once again Marceline puts an end to Seirin.
