Hearing no answer, the girl who pretended to be May rephrased her question in a tone only the golden-tan Martian could hear, "Do you trust me enough not to kill you..or the others..?"

It sounded like a threat.

Throttle sighed, Ray had gone far enough to kill Charlie, what was going to stop her from doing him and his bros in too? She'd easily over powered Modo, while forcing Vinnie to cry like a new born baby. She even forced him into a corner..Forced him to raise a hand against her.. Forced him to even think of killing her.

It was all just too easy.

It was too easy..

His trail of thought had subconsciously forced his steady hand to drop a degree. Making his resolve, took a deep breath and raised the gun's nozzle and pressed it against the side of her head once more. An eerie click escaped.

"It's not over.." the Ray voiced with a smug tone.

"It may not be over for us..but for you..it will be." Throttle gritted his teeth finding some resolution in his new found decision. In his free palm, the locket had found its nest, the engraving on the back had been caressed by his thumb.

"A leap of faith goes a long way.." it said. Taking a deep breath looked at the girl who'd won his heart for a second time and dropped his hand. "But not like this."

Ray took her opportunity and inflicted a grounded roundhouse kick, forcing Throttle flat onto his back while taking hold of the gun once more. Already in the background three rounds were fired at random intervals making her look past Modo's left shoulder.

It was time.

In reflex to the girl's motion Vinnie fired a round the same moment Modo fired his laser.

Caught off guard, Ray barely missed Vinnie's shot which glazed her shoulder blade. It made her hunch over and pull to the right side-this reaction played in her favor for had she not docked out of the way, she would've been struck dead in the chest by Modo's laser.

Recoiling in fear and suprise, the girl fired two rounds before turning the gun on Throttle who'd gotten up and rushed up at her with his own weapon in hand. As their eyes met and locked, they both nodded in a silent understanding.. Ray had reloaded a special round. And as the Agent's last three rounds were fired Throttle's body fell forward, limp and motionless.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" cried the hysterical Vinnie and traumatized Modo.
