Code: Execute

Code: We Meet Again

The boy stopped squirming as much as he realized he recognized that voice.  It was the nice woman from yesterday who somehow planted that money in his pocket... it was [Y/n]...  No, no,no!  She needed to leave!  He couldn't let someone else get killed for him!

The blonde simply rolled her eyes at the masked girl's words and she was going to retort until the white-haired boy yelled, "Y-You?! Leave! Please! I don't want anyone else t-to get-- groowwlll--  I will not---"

The boy in front of her had begun to glow odd shades of blues, yellows, and magenta and his body began to almost deform.  The unusual sight caused [Y/n] to take a small step back.

"—I WON'T LET ANYONE ELSE DIE FOR ME!"

The boy's leg seemed to suddenly snap back into existence before his body took on the form of a beautiful white tiger.

The mafia gunner seemed to have expected this, but not [Y/n]. Though she had a mask on, her jaw was wide open as she watched the young boy take on the form of a beast.   A large, white, angry beast...  She couldn't help but screech out, "WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL!?"

She was so caught up in the boy's display that she hadn't seen a stray attack from the unamused Akutagawa.

It happened so quickly that she'd have missed it if she blinked.  As the attack barreled towards her form, the beast lunged towards her before tackling her to the ground and taking the hit instead.

Her bag flew from her body and her mask slipped off her face from the force.  The tiger lunged at the two mafia members after saving her and she laid on the ground for a few moments to recover from the force.  (Y/n) struggled to her feet as the force of the tiger was much more than she'd hoped to experience today,  but she saw that the tiger was focused solely on Akutagawa. The blonde had turned her attention to (Y/n) as she used a trashcan to gain her footing once more.

[Y/n] heard the clicking of a gun and a voice, "I'll kill you now to save Akutagawa the trouble. You pest."

[Y/n] lazily brought a hand up in between her and the woman before groaning out, "Code: Firewall."

As the girl held the trigger of the mini machine gun in her hands, the bullets that shot from it seemed to hit an almost invisible wall in front of (Y/n).  shooting back at the woman.

Higuchi quickly rolled to the side and pointed the gun at [Y/n] once more before shooting again, and dodging the bullets that seemed reflected back at her. This allowed [Y/n] a chance to walk over to the mask that had slid across the ground and place it back on her face.  She then walked back towards the woman and cheekily say, "Sorry, guns won't work on me, you're going to have used your hands, kid."

In actuality, (Y/n) was trying to get closer to the woman to use a code she hadn't used yet on a human, only on a feral dog that tried to attack her one night.  Unfortunately, this code required physical contact with the target.  A fist fight was needed...

As she approached Higuchi, she could see the woman toss the gun aside before taking up a fighting stance. This action caused (Y/n) to roll her eyes and chuckle before she began to roll the sleeves of her hoodie and say, "This should be a nice test of strength, eh?"

Once within striking distance, the blonde woman eagerly threw punches towards [Y/n], who easily pushed the attacks away from her. "You're not very good at hand-to-hand combat, are you? That's probably why you pack a sub-machine gun, huh?"

"Shut up! You talk too much for a masked coward!"

"Hey now, I'm unmasked right now.  But that can change!"
