Enter The Arena As Your Avatar V6: This Time, It's Personal

-The armor plating detaches from her hip and darts upward, shielding her eyes from the incoming dirt-

-Cycling the pump, she tries to hit Luke with an armor-piercing slug through the cover, while advancing slowly towards him. She gives a sharp glance at Johnny and Jenobu, but keeps her attention at her current target-

"It doesn't appear as though we are enemies, Mr. Johnny, if you'll excuse me for a moment." Jenobu stood, walking over towards the woman, "Ma'im, guns are dangerous you know..."

Johnny redirected his sword as soon as Jenobu's allegiance was clear. "Miss, why do you wish to harm this inoffensive animal?"

This is none of your business. Just stay away.

-Without even looking at the two, she inserts two shells into her gun and continues her advance-

Jenobu darts around the woman, "I'm sure we can come to a peaceful solution here right?" He stands arms spread open.

I doubt it.

"Come on now, I'm sure we can just put the gun down and talk this out. There's got to be a reasonable solution to this." Jenobu gave a hopeful smile.

Johnny, already with a plan in case, offered, "If the four of us put our heads together, we could escape this Hellish place, and end its reign of terror."

I am authorized to eliminate any kind of obstruction in my mission. That includes you two, should you keep this up.

"Ok how about a little wager then? If you can't hit me in three shots, then you call off this battle." Jenobu held up three fingers as his grin turned from hopefull to confident.

"What mission do you speak of? Surely this mission has nefarious roots if it involves the slaughter of an innocent unarmed horse." Johnny, sensing the direction this would take picked up a pebble, and held it behind his back.

Hearing of Jenobu's wager, Johnny backed up slightly, giving his new companion room to move.

...Fine.

-She ejects three shells from the magazine tube and fires the chambered round: #00 buckshot, firing 9 pellets the size of a pistol round right a Jenobu's torso-

Jenobu places his hand up and closes his eyes for a second. The bullets splat away in different directions. "Two more chances."

Huh. I see.

-She fully empties the magazine and inserts a FRAG-12 explosive shell into the chamber. Rather than firing it directly at her target, she targets the ground right next to his feet-

Johnny was perplexed by his new friend's truly strange and powerful ability. But one thing was for sure, while it might keep her from hitting him, she would still remain safely in her armor.

Johnny, seeing the artillery rain down, leaped away, so as to avoid any damage to his own person, as he remained fearful for his newfound friend.

Not realizing they wouldn't hit him but understanding the same trick wouldn't work twice, he jumped to the side. When they explode, he pulls up his barrier, holding his own against the attack, still uninjured.

Johnny kept hold of his pebble, with his plan still in mind, as he crept slightly closer to the enemy, with the silence and stealth of some kind of ant mixed with a samurai.

Hold on. What happens if I continue to pursue the horse after losing this bet?

Jenobu frowned, "I would hope you hold true to your word, and let's leave it at that for now. You still have one more chance, this time, I won't use my barrier. Promise."

Johnny had a back up plan in case of that, so he wasn't worried. He just feared for Jenobu's life.

Very well.

-Her armor detaches again and splits into several segments which levitates around the place. She chambers another shell — birdshot —, and fires right into the pavement at an angle, where the numerous pellets ricochet between her armor segments and perhaps into Jenobu. The small projectiles and speed loss from ricochets means that they're unlikely to cause any lethal damage, but since her objective is to simply score a hit...-

Jenobu is caught completely off guard and goes to bring up his barrier, then doesn't! Instead he runs forwards into the ricocheting bullets, allowing most to pass him by. The ones that don't are met with his bostaff, which gets shattered. Just when he thinks all is clear, he hears one from behind. He ducks, and it just barely goes over his head. "Good grief, you're pretty —" Jenobu falls, "What the hell!?" A single bullet lodges in his back. "Damn, I guess you win."

"Fair and square, and all that that implies..." Johnny took his pebble and through it at the back of the girl's neck.

-A light smile forms on her face-

Well then. The pellets shouldn't be lodged deep after that fancy ricochets, but you might want to get that checked, just in case.

-Her armor returns to the mounts on her hip. Johnny pebble does hit her, though she barely budges. She then turns to face his general direction-

You know what, why don't you just show yourself.

Johnny takes advantage of her not being able to see him yet. He again gathers a load of dirt, and uses his sword to fling it toward her eyes, quickly running from that position, so she couldn't stamp near the source of the dirt.
