<i>Not wanting to waste any, Kali would quickly gather up the bullets that had dropped earlier, storing them back into her fallen clip and storing it away in one of her jacket pockets as she stands up</i> &quot;That you do kid. Lets start with that monster you have working with you. What're its conditions?&quot; <i>Kali wouldn't return the man's smile, keeping up a curt, businesslike response as she hides what injuries she got under her jacket.</i>

<i>Some time after the others had entered, a tall, red-haired woman would approach the subway entrance. She holds what looks like a smartphone, though its in rough shape by now as she starts to head down.</i> &quot;No guards, the smell of gas, starting to feel like home already.&quot; <i>The woman grins as she makes her way down the staircase, though she doesn't seem to be armed at first, upon closer inspection one might notice the tip of a gun hiding in her long, black coat.</i>

&quot;Don't get ahead of yourself kid.&quot; <i>Kali would crack a grin as she lights another cigarette, with the fight over it'd be good to get her mind off it for a bit so she can take the second we've got to relax.</i> &quot;Name's Kali, mercenary for hire. Though you'd've likely heard of me as Red Mist.&quot; <i>Kali takes a quick smoke as she thinks about his &quot;Persona&quot;. Part of his mind eh? As expected, she didn't know much about it.</i> &quot;Long as you've got that thing under control I guess we don't have any problems.&quot;

&quot;Don't sweat it kid, just further confirmation that I'm not in Kansas anymore.&quot; <i>Kali takes another puff of smoke as she cleans the last of the ice off her gun. Monster mind control? A logical next step from what Kaito was doing. If this facility keeps going haywire, then it could mean a lot of trouble for the people above. A kind of trouble she was all too familiar with.</i> &quot;So the plan is to make it to this core and get your girlfriend out of there? And just how much of a reward is this mission gonna run? I've already used 8 psyche bullets and a pair of grenades.&quot;

<i>Last time Kali attacked it, the creature had a slight delay after using its ice attack, so the woman waits until she hears the sound of its launching to roll out of cover, one of the ricocheted icicles shattering into the ground beside her, resulting in a few of its larger ice splinters piercing her jacket. But with the opening found, Kali would open fire, unloading a full clip of her new ammo type into it. While her red bullets had attacked the body, these new white ones would seem to pass through its scales, making an attack on the creature's soul itself.</i>

Honestly, I was expecting a We Are Number One reference

Now now, I'm sure we <i>hehehe</i> Sure we can <i>hahahaha</i> we can all be <i>HAHAHAHAHAHAHA</i> all be matu... <i>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEhehehe</i> I can't say it.

<i>Kali would raise an eyebrow at the kid's... Combat method. It wasn't any tech she'd seen before, but really who knows what all the Wings are up to these days? Either way she takes the kid's distraction as a chance to get back up.</i> &quot;You some kinda monster yourself kid? Don't answer that until the fight's over.&quot; <i>Kali reloads as she talks, bringing out another clip, once inserted into her gun it causes the light along the side to start glowing white. Once the creature's attention is back on her, she simply runs. No reason to risk hitting the kid when she can't brace herself to fire. She'd head back towards the lab area, jumping over one of the seemingly broken machines to give her some cover, hopefully while the snake's momentum leads it to rush past.</i>

&quot;Heh, guess I'm late to the party.&quot; <i>The red-haired woman carefully walks around the hole in the ground, taking a brief glance down before deciding she wants nothing to do with it. Instead she would calmly enter the elevator, hit the button for floor B4, and light up a cigarette, taking a deep breath of smoke before puffing out as she waits</i> &quot;Lets see what kind of monsters this place has.&quot;

&quot;Looks like some sort of outbreak.&quot; <i>Kali would take another puff of smoke as she reaches down for the gun beneath her coat. Can't be too careful in a situation like this. The woman pulls out her weapon, its a long rifle, about as long as her arm and a little thicker. on the side is a strip of light that glows a light red.</i> &quot;Whoever's there, stay where you are. No one has to get hurt.&quot; <i>Kali spits out her cigarette, with no trash cans visible nearby she'd simply let it hit the floor as she proceeds forward, gun out and to the ready as she heads down the hall towards the sound of the voice.</i>
