A wicked smile etched onto his lips, Hiroshi Noma stared at his former subject with a crude, almost vulgar expression. Yusuke stepped away to the sidelines, allowing them some sense of privacy.

"Did you miss m-" Noma started when Ooka lunged at him, sword in hand. Just before she could swing, an invisible force prevented her from reaching him. She grunted, trying to pour every ounce of strength into driving her sword through but it aggravatingly remained millimeters away from his neck.

"It's no use," Yusuke told her, eyes glowing.

Noma simply stared at her, unbothered by her attempt to kill him. "My goodness. And here I thought you've left your life as an assassin and turned a new leaf. What would your colleagues think?"

That struck a nerve with Ooka as she immediately jumped, trying to punch him. "YOU LEAVE THEM THE HELL ALONE! DO YOU HEAR ME!? DON'T EVER MENTION THEM AGAIN OR I WILL MAKE SURE YOU STAY DEAD."

"Temper. Temper. Don't worry, I'm not here for them. I'm here for you." He said, closing into her face. Ooka backed away from him. Creating a dagger, she turned and threw it behind her. 

Lo and behold, it stopped before it could reach the corner and fell to the ground. Clenching her fist, she knew she wasn't going to get out of this easily.

"What do you want from me?" She demanded, glaring intensely at Noma.

"Well since you destroyed my beautiful lab, killed my partner and nearly killed me, I never got the chance to properly examine your abilities after giving you my best serum."

"I'll never be your guinea pig again. You can count on that." Ooka was fuming.

Noma grinned, "But it's all in the name of my research. Yusuke came out perfectly. I want to see how you've adapted. If you be good, I'll make you just as strong as him, my greatest accomplishment."

"If you think I want to go with you willingly, then you're delusional. I'll fight you every bit of the way," Ooka spat, materializing her scythe and swinging it to let it rest against her side.

"Oh, there won't be too much trouble for me. That's why I have Yusuke," Noma smirked. Ooka frowned and shifted her gaze over to the blonde. Yusuke avoided her gaze but focused on his task. He took a few steps towards the female detective, causing her to swing up her scythe in defense.

"Don't come any closer, Yusuke," Ooka warned. The blonde didn't respond and continued to walk. She gritted her teeth and swung her scythe at him with the blunt side. The scythe stopped right before it could touch him and was thrown back.

Drawing back her fist, she took a swing and was sent flying back before it could connect, tumbling on the ground and hitting the invisible force preventing her from escaping. She moved to stand up when a piercing wail flooded her ears, crumpling to the ground from the sheer intensity of it. Losing focus, her crystals broke apart.

Eyes burning red, Yusuke kneeled in front of her and pulled out a syringe from his coat pocket. He remained silent, popping off the plastic cover over the needle.
