"...I will have to kill you."
"!!!"
Aerith found herself quickly flying away to the end of the atmosphere as soon as she heard those words being uttered by Riley. She quickly turned to look at the top of the building the two of them were just resting on, only to see he was also no longer there.
"I have latched on to you, Aerith."
"..." Aerith very slowly turned to look behind her. And there, he saw Riley also very slowly moving away from her peripheral vision.
"No matter how fast you fly, I will just always be behind you — figuratively and physically," Riley then moved away from Aerith's back and floated right in front of her, "I would prefer if you do not struggle, Aerith. This will not be a repeat of the Battle of Toronto. As you said yourself, I have become much stronger than you. If an undead variant of Princess Esme was not able to beat me, what hope could you have?"
