Charlie growled before swinging his hook. I quickly ducked, the cable attached bait barely grazing my chest as it impacted into a wall. Charlie's cable was stuck, he grunted, trying to forcefully removed it from its firm position, I leapt onto the firm cable as if it were a tightrope, running over to Charlie, his eyes widened as I kicked him square in the face, he yelled, trying to backhand me with his flesh-based hand as his hooked cable writhed free, he swung it again back at me, I jumped over the steel cable, but felt it come back again, wrapping itself around me..

Charlie: I got you!

Me: Evidently.

I smiled, before turning into dust. Slipping out of his grip. Brushing past his leg I reformed myself behind him and tripped him over, spinning my butterfly knife up high as I prepared to stab him. He retracted his hook and swung upwards, unexpectedly hitting me in my boys.

Me: Argh!

Charlie reverse head butted me as I staggered aback, Charlie's metal arm again tried to hook for me as I disintegrated and formed up a few dozen meters away, drawing Ironwood's revolver, setting it to fire-dust mode. I began firing at Charlie, who was dodging the explosions but was also getting his aura hit by shrapnel.

A hooked cable came out from the dusty rubble cloud as it wrapped up on a column right beside me. Charlie's form busted out of the fog as I frantically tried to cut the steel cable stubbornly with my butterfly knife. Charlie came at me as I dodged, he put too much velocity in his flight as he impacted and simultaneously flew into the column while smashing it to pieces and flying back another few dozen meters.

I continued to fire at him, bang bang went the revolver. Charlie's hook again emerged from the fog, wrapping around the gun, I could feel myself fighting the powerful hydraulic pulley that sat within Charlie's arm. I took a step back, I could hear Charlie's grunts of effort between us as we played tug-of-war with a gun, a fish-hook and a metallic rope.

I could feel less strain on the line as he ran at me with a chair, I dropped down, tripping him over. Charlie stumbled onto the ground in a heap, he yelled in pain.

Me: Let's go Fisherman.

Charlie: SHUT UP!

Charlie charged at me with a tackle. Bringing me to the ground. I felt the hook digging into my side, I yelled in pain. I socked him in the nose allowing me to wrap my leg around his neck, he screamed as I tightened my grip.

Me: Say uncle!

Charlie: Uncle Shmunkle, you're going to die!

He spat back defiantly, I only strengthened my leg's hold on him as he began flailing like a cornered animal.

Suddenly I remembered his other hand, it was still free. He reaches into his boot and took out his serrated knife, bringing it to my side. But before he could I semblance my way out of there and took out 2 drone cards. I quickly scan for my fingerprint as they both activate.

Me: Target Charlie Lazuli, Attack!

They both began to fly with their propeller blades, slashing at Charlie, degrading his aura again and again and again. He roared and swiped one out of the air with a swing from his mechanical hand, ducking as the other missed him and stuck itself into a wall. Suddenly, Lilith busted through a ventilation shaft grate on a balcony. Charlie looked behind himself and grunted at her in annoyance.

Charlie: Leave bitch this isn't your fight.

Lilith: Who are you talking too, me or this mirror?

She asked, holding up a handheld mirror used for makeup. Charlie ignored a piece of the wall I threw at him and fired his hook at Lilith's position, she leapt out of the way and landed on the ground. Charlie looked at me, then Lilith, he pulled out a chrome-plated Glock at me and pointed his robotic arm at her.

Charlie: Looks like we have ourselves a Mexican standoff.

I rushed up to him, disintegrating myself as he fired his pistol multiple times, now leeched of it's shots, Charlie used it as a melee weapon. I dodged the attacks as Charlie tried to whack me. Lilith on the other hand dodged Charlie's blind fire with his hook, she side-kicked his face with her steel boot as I sucker punched one of his teeth off. Charlie crashed into a column.

Charlie rubbed his head, wincing. I patted Lilith's shoulder.

Me: You came.

Lilith: You weren't doing so bad.

Me: Two heads are better than one.

Through the distracted state I failed to notice Charlie's hook coming at my head, with my weakened aura I only saw stars as I was knocked out.

Charlie's POV

Lilith: Y/N!

He was sent flying back, crashing into a column. Which honestly felt so satisfying finally to get a hit on the damn guy, good thing the bitch distracted him.

Me: Now looks like it's just us babe, what's say you and I ditch this guy? I'll just get some beer and whiskey from the Mafia's stocks and we'll hit the road together?

I offered, holding out my mechanical arm. She slowly shook her head side to side.

Lilith: No... never.

Such a shame she can't just surrender herself to me, oh well. I like 'em tied up just as much.

Me: Suit yourself.

I pointed my arm at her, she dodged to the left as I fired it again at her, she leapt over the cable as the winch hauled the hook back into Lobotomizer 2.0. She dove behind a column, right next to the one where Y/N's body was sitting. I sighted her dragging his body to cover.

Me: Oh, how romantic...

I boasted, whipping out my buzz-saw Lobotomizer 2.0 had implemented into itself. I revved the saw twice, letting her know that I was coming.

Me: Come on out Lily... Doctor Lazuli has a scheduled appointment with you... be a good girl and the next room you'll see probably won't be the hospital.

I called, circling the column, only seeing Y/N's unconscious body which confused me greatly, I looked around a bit and no Lilith. Suddenly, I heard metallic footstep behind me, Lilith air kicked the oxygen out of my lungs, sending me tumbling back at least 20 meters. I fired Lobotomizer 2.0 at her once again, when she ducked and came back up, the cable began wrapping around her torso, she gasped in surprise, trying to untie herself, though her efforts were in vain since I began to power up my winch as well as my buzz-saw

Lilith: I'll never be with you! I'm staying with Y/N!!

She yelled defiantly, I laughed as I pulled her ever closer to my saw-blade. Her struggling was no match for my mechanical strength.

Me: Even if he's in a million pieces?

She growled at me angrily, throwing a sphere-like stone as I heard it clattering at the end of the hallway. Turning around, I snickered. Suddenly, Lilith began to... smile?

Lilith: I eat arrogant boys for breakfast.

I began to hear a slight rolling sound coming from behind, I looked, unaware as Lilith was able to get out of the cables and get herself and Y/N to cover. I didn't see a thing, then I looked down between my legs...

One of Y/N's Fire Dust Grenades...

Me: NOOOOOO!

I yelled while I tried to escape my inevitable doom, I felt an immense explosion emulate from behind as I was forcefully thrown into a wall where my Aura was disrupted, shattered. I felt all the energy and adrenaline that was once in my body leave due to my aura's disappearance as my metal arm was separated from my bare stub. I could barely lift a finger as I could just make out Lilith's posture coming out of the smoke. She victoriously implanted her foot on my chest as I chillingly saw the switchblades pointed right at my heart.

Me: H-hey, maybe w-we coul-

Lilith: OR! I could just give it to you straight.

She said confidently, as she leaned in until her mouth was right next to my ear.

Lilith: I'm a heartbreaker.

All I felt then was a sharp stab in my chest, blood slowly oozing out my mouth and the world going black around me.
