INT. SEEDY BROTHEL - DAWN
Mizu stands outside the brothel, facing the Thousand Claws. Y/N joins her, guns at the ready.
MIZU: (furious) You'll pay for your cruelty, Hamata!
Y/N: (determined) And you'll learn not to mess with us.
Mizu charges forward, swiftly taking down the first five yakuza. The rest hesitate, allowing Mizu and Y/N to retreat inside and bar the door.
INT. SEEDY BROTHEL - DAWN
MADAME KAJI: (angry) You've doomed us all!
MIZU: (firm) Everyone, hide in the cellar. Ringo, take this knife and protect them.
Mizu hands Ringo a kitchen knife, then douses the lights. Y/N follows her lead, moving into the shadows.
Y/N: (whispering) I'll cover you from here.
As Hamata's men break down the door, Mizu's memories flood back, her childhood spent in hiding and the loss of her home and 'mother' during the fire.
Y/N: (to himself) Time to show them what a Jamaican-Irish gunslinger can do.
With his keen eyesight and steady hand, Y/N takes aim in the dim light, picking off several of the Thousand Claws with precise shots. Mizu, fueled by her dark past and the desire to protect those around her, fights alongside Y/N, their combined skills creating a formidable defense.
MIZU: (grateful) Thank you, Y/N.
Y/N: (smiling) We're in this together, Mizu.
As the battle rages on, Mizu and Y/N's trust and camaraderie deepen, their shared experiences forging an unbreakable bond between them.
FADE OUT.
INT. SEEDY BROTHEL - DAWN
As the yakuza advance, Mizu and Y/N continue their fierce defense. Mizu ambushes the Thousand Claws, taking down five more, while Y/N provides cover fire from the shadows.
MIZU: (gritting her teeth) Keep firing, Y/N!
Y/N: (reloading) I've got you covered!
The leader of the Thousand Claws confronts Mizu, trapping her sword between his Tiger Claws and pinning her against the wall. He stabs her in the left hip, causing her to cry out in pain.
Y/N: (shouting) Mizu!
Y/N fires at the leader, momentarily distracting him. Mizu seizes the opportunity to break free, severing both his claws before retreating deeper into the brothel.
INT. SEEDY BROTHEL - DAWN
Mizu, injured and breathless, encounters a teenage Thousand Claw member. Memories of her reunion with her mother and her wedding flash through her mind.
MIZU: (hesitating) I... I can't.
She lowers her sword, sparing the teenager's life.
Y/N: (catching up) Mizu! Are you alright?
MIZU: (panting) I'm fine. We need to keep moving.
Y/N nods, admiring Mizu's compassion even in the heat of battle. They continue to fight together, their skills complementing each other as they take down more of the Thousand Claws.
Y/N: (smiling) We make a pretty good team, don't we?
MIZU: (smirking) We do.
With renewed determination, Mizu and Y/N press on, their bond growing stronger as they protect each other and those around them.
