I step off the train and onto the busy platform, carefully concealing my rank under a bandage. 

"Let's do this." I mutter. 

I've never taken my sword for a service, strangely it's never needed one. But today I'm using it as my excuse to go to the Inner City. I inhale the clean air, which is nice for a change. My head is clear and I can actually think. I look around at all the people around me, who are hurrying here and there. I hear the not too unfamiliar clink and clank of metal, which eases my nerves. The train leaves without a sound. 

"Are vehicles this developed already? What have I been missing out on...?"

I wander around the station, looking at all of the advertisements put on large digital screens.

 "Jewellery for pets? What kind of world is this?" I look at the price, and freak out it my mind. F-five hundred thousand dollars?!  I mentally face palm and walk away rolling my eyes. But the next thing I know, I'm on the floor. 

"Un-!" 

Someone's lying on top of me. 

"Get off me you freaking idiot!" I yell at the man, rolling him off me. 

I'm met with deep, killer green eyes. I'm entranced for a couple seconds, as he is with me. This isn't like me! I shake my head and glare at him viciously.

"Watch where your going next time your dork! I swear I'll-" 

"Stop right there!

I hear a large noise, like a group of footsteps. Then the crowd around us spreads apart to reveal eight, very angry police officers dressed in gleaming white armour. One steps forward. 

"Surrender, and you will be able to have a hearing by tomorrow." 

I look back to the man who bumped into me, who freezes as the guard calls to him. 

"Come now."

I smirk at the guard. 

"Why should he?" I ask.

The guard glares at me, raising his hand menacingly. 

"Look lady-" He interjects again.

"Oh I'm sorry your majesty," I bow to mock him. "Should I get out of your way? Maybe I should shine your shoes while I'm at it." 

The crowd around us breaks into laughter, and I cross my arms. smirking at the cluster of glaring police. 

"We gave you a warning," He raises his gun at me. "But I guess it's wasted on you." 

I chuckle and pull out my sword from my bag. "You have no idea how happy you've made me by saying that." I lunge at him, giving him no time to react. I strike, and crack his armour in half. He leaps back, panting from the sudden attack. 

"How did you...? Elite armour is almost unbreakable!" He gasps between swings.

I lunge again. "Almost."

I slash him down. He coughs up some blood in his throat, I see the red liquid gurgle, overflowing his mouth, before it spilled to the floor and he stopped struggling. To the crowd's surprise, I pick up my sword unfazed. 

"Aww, he got my blade all dirty!" Now it'll really need servicing... "Are you okay, ma'am? You just killed a police officer." 

A warm, half-hostile, enticing voice says from behind me, I'm almost entranced. I turn around to see the man who bumped into me on his feet, with a hood over his head. 

"Your an evil girl, aren't you?" He grins like a devil and I chuckle pitifully at him. 

"I don't care about being the hero or the villain." I raise my sword, prepared to attack the rest of the guards, but turn to look at the man once again. "I just like to party!"

I leave the man with an unreadable expression on his face before finishing off the rest of the guards. I hear more footsteps on the other platform, and ready myself to jump. I kill the guards on the other side, crimson blood dripping from my sword. I wipe my brow and look at the clock. 

"12:30!? I've been here for that long!?"  I repack my sword hastily as another train starts to pass the platform. I run and catch the metal at the side, then climb up to the roof, holding onto the bars at the roof of the train. 

"Huh?" I turn back to the station I was at. "I never got that guy's name..."
