"Say goodnight kid!" Eves states as she swings her hammer towards Tatsumi. Tatsumi raised her gauntlets to block the impact of the hammer, but the impact was too strong for her too handle. As the hammer hit the gauntlets, Tatsumi is sent flying towards a police car.
Cops started firing their guns at Eves to stop her from going anywhere, buying Tatsumi some time to return to her senses.
"Ow... I'm going to be sore for a week..." Tatsumi muttered to herself as she stood up from the police car. As she got up, she notices a familiar face in the distance, taking photos. "Racquel...?" She mutters to herself as she keeps looking at the girl who was taking photos.
"Kid! Look out!" One of the cops yells out, making Tatsumi look away from the girl. She then notices a giant boulder flying towards the girl named Racquel.
"Oh shoot!" Tatsumi says as she started running towards the girl. Tatsumi jumped, pushing the girl away from the path of the boulder. "What are you doing here!?" Tatsumi yelled at the girl who, is now lying on her lap.
"What do you mean what am I doing here? I'm doing my job! Duh!"
"What do you mean job!? This is not a place to be doing a job!"
Racquel looks at Tatsumi with an annoyed expression as she flicks Tatsumi's forehead. "Did that lady hit you so hard on the head that you received a concussion or something that made you forget that your girlfriend works for the Gale Daily Publishing? I'm here because I need to take photos for my page on the newspaper."
"Wait, really? Is your job this dangerous?"
"Says the girl who fights crime with gauntlets. Anyway, if you would kindly move your gauntlets away from my camera. I have a job to do."
"Oh, right." Tatsumi replied as she help Racquel stand up.
"So, who are you fighting with this time?"
"Joe said that her name is Eves Charlotte, also known as Professor Eves. She was once a professor helping out in the Gale Foundation, but went rogue due to some accident."
"I see, and her weapon?"
"Nanotech, giving her weapon the ability to change shape and be whatever weapon she wants it to be."
"And I figure that you already found a way to fight her?"
"That's the thing, I haven't thought of ways to fight back."
Racquel pauses as she looks at Tatsumi. "You've been getting punched over and over and you're telling me that you still have no plan to fight her?"
"What am I supposed to do!? She changes weapon every chance she get. It's like I'm fighting multiple people out there!"
"Change interval." Racquel remarked as she looks at Eves who was changing her weapon as she fights back against the cops.
"What?"
"Her change intervals! Look! Her weapon is starting to slow down each time she changes it. Earlier, it changes in a blink of an eye, but now it takes roughly five seconds to change. Meaning---"
"Whatever's powering her weapon is starting to run low on juice." Tatsumi interrupted.
"Exactly!"
"I don't need to fight back, I just need to waste time against her! Racquel! You're a genius!"
"Oh please, tell me something I don't know." Racquel replied as she smirked at Tatsumi.
Tatsumi smiled as she pulls Racquel and kissed her on her lips.
"Hey? Love birds? Hate to break this kissing scene but can this wait? We still have a serious problem to take care of." Joe stated as he was firing his gun at Eves.
"Oh right, I'm on it!" Tatsumi yells out as she puts on her helmet again and started running towards Eves.
"Kissing in broad daylight? In front of many people, in the middle of a crime outbreak?" Joe asked Racquel.
"Sorry, dad."
While Eves was busy firing his mini gun at the cops, Tatsumi jumped from behind Eves for a surprise attack.
"Incoming!" Tatsumi yells out as she jumped. It caught Eves' attention, making her turn around to see Tatsumi's gauntlets inches away from her face. Eves couldn't do anything because before she could snapped her fingers, Tatsumi's gauntlets already hit her face, making her fly and skip along the road. "You liked my gauntlets up close? I made them myself."
"You sneaky brat!" Eves yells out as she snaps her fingers, making her weapon change from mini gun to hammer. She then started running towards Tatsumi as she swings her hammer around while Tatsumi dodges the swings of the hammer.
The two of them started exchanging blows with Eves changing weapons from time to time. As she keeps changing weapons, her time interval starts growing bigger.
"What's wrong? Batteries starting to run dry?" Tatsumi asked as she sees Eves snapping her fingers but her weapon is taking a long time to change. "Looks like your out of battery Professor!" Tatsumi stated as she pulls Eves' weapon away from her, ending their fight.
"Threat neutralized." An AI of Tatsumi's helmet stated.
"Alright guys, fight's over. You can take her to her new home now."
Cops started surrounding Eves, arresting her as she sits on the ground.
As the cops were arresting Eves, Racquel approached Tatsumi. "Did you get those photos you needed?" Tatsumi asks as she looks at Racquel.
"I did, but I still haven't gotten the pictures of "Gale's Guardian" yet. So, would you mind?"
"I don't. But my pictures will cost you."
"Your pictures wills cost me? And how much will your pictures will cost me?" Racquel giggled.
"Not much, not much. A simple kiss will do."
"A kiss? Really?"
Tatsumi smiles as she pulls Racquel and hugs her. "Yeah, a kiss."
Racquel lets out a giggle as she hugs Tatsumi back, taking off her helmet and staring into Tatsumi's hazel eyes. "Alright, but just one. I need to head to the office and ha---" Racquel was interrupted as Tatsumi started kissing her.
The End.
