So that would indicate the intruder is gun-free? Setsuna has no idea what kind of intruder either.

Everyone took their place. The Hatter has ducked nearby a broken-down Honda on the road holding what seemed to be a crowbar.

Everything grew very silent.

It seemed out of place. Chishiya was with Kuina on the side of the bridge behind what seemed to be a hiding spot. Setsuna was wondering of those two and what kind of relationship they have. It doesn't seem to be anything more than just "comrades".

Soft footsteps were heard very faintly.

That must be the intruder then. Where the hell are the targets.

Setsuna briefly looked up and saw one. Niragi wasn't so far from her.

"Niragi, shoot that target!" Setsuna pointed at one up high on the bridge. It was within range at least. He grumbled something as he grabbed his sniper rifle aiming for it.

1 down. 9 more to go.

Setsuna was about to reveal her location. But she saw it. A hooded black figure revealing his two katanas. All he wore was black attire, this doesn't look so good.

Another rule: you can't shoot the intruder.

"What?!" A few said in unison.

"Fine by me. Niragi another target at 9 o'clock!" Setsuna jumped out revealing where she was so the intruder will focus her as a distraction.

She charged head-on.

"Setsuna!" A few people said her name. One being the Hatter and two Kuina. She saw from the corner of her eye that Chishiya pulled her back.

Her wakizashi faced contact with one of the intruder's katanas with a strong force. His left hand moved to slice her side. But she blocked it as she jumped back into a jump defence.

The Hatter was using his handgun to shoot a target down.

"Hey, this is actually fun!" He chimed in.

"Natsuko!"

The intruder stepped back from Setsuna and stabbed somebody who was right behind.

"NO!" his friend shouted with rage boiling in him. This is what drives people mad. When they see people they care about die before them.

But why the hell is Chishiya and Kuina still hiding?! Why didn't I do anything?

Everything felt so dark for Setsuna. Her emotions were about to explode. Why did she back away? She usually watches people die before her.

Why does this anger her now? It was her fault the guy was killed and she felt guilty. Her stepping away to retreat slightly caused the intruder to attack a nearby player.

"SEVEN TARGETS!"

She heard The Hatter shout. The intruder managed to attack another player so swiftly on his feet. Setsuna couldn't even read his moves.

"Gah-"

Blood splattered onto the ground.

The intruder's Karan stuck through from one end to the other. Most likely deflating his right lung.

"R..run you i..idiots."

Participants remaining: 8

That meant The Hatter, Niragi, Chishiya, Kuina, two beach members, some other militant and her?
