Shots

The bank went silent. Handgun had just been knocked clean out without a moments hesitation. Gauntlets thought quickly. If he were to take out this boy fast that would be death number 6. But you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs and this kid was about to find out the full scope of that statement. Lunging towards Exalibar he prepared to use his gauntlets at 30% maximum output (enough to send a full grown African elephant flying) on he boy. But the boy dodged. His movements were slow and sluggish. To a speedster these posed no real threat. However Gauntlets wasn't a 1 trick pony. Spinning himself as the fell he redirected his blow towards the ground instead. The impact shattered the floors of the bank destabilizing it and putting everyone at risk of falling into the underground vault where the others were. This he thought is going to put the wannabe hero at a disadvantage. But to his dismay the floor started repairing. But how?? who??? The girl. I have to take her out first if I'm to win then. Switching the panel on his gauntlet open and entering a code the gauntlet turned into an exosuit. 

Exalibar: Isn't that supposed to be like your last ditch attempt or when you are going all out?

Gauntlets: This ain't a game kid, its all or nothing.

Exalibar: Isn't it though?

Gauntlets: I don't wanna hurt a kid. But I also don't like people getting in my way. Last chance kid. The world has no respawn system. Leave the bank. Or perish trying to play hero.

Gauntlets took and attacking stance ready to lunge at Exalibar again. Exalibar prepared his defenses. He wasn't going to dodge. Gauntlets dashed using the suit at 60% maximum output. Enough to level and entire block if used right. Exalibar knew this so instead of dodging he ran towards him. He has seen the exosuit before. He had fought against such back at the facility. Albeit not even at 40% capacity but he knew its weaknesses. Gauntlets prepared a devastating blow throwing a high powered fist at Exalibar but its exactly what he wanted. Grabbing the fist Exalibar pulled him towards himself. Gauntlets thought Exalibar was about to use the same clothesline he took out his partner with. 

Gauntlets: You don't expect to win with the same move twice now do you boy.

But that is where he was dead wrong. Exalibar didn't want to clothesline him. Instead Exalibar placed his other hand on Gauntlets' abdomen braced himself and threw him out of the bank. Exalibar knew that an all out fight with this much power and little restrain would have casualties if kept in the bank. He bet on Aisha to deal with those who remained. He was to handle Gauntlets himself. 

Exalibar: Lethal or non lethal? Your choice.

Gauntlets was not amused by this. Who does this boy think he is huh. Offering him a choice like he has the upper hand in all this. "I'm simply going to kill him and return to finish the robbery." He upped the power to 70%. Today was the day this kid died. He punched the air which sent a strong current of wind knocking Exalibar off his feet. He then dashed behind him spin kicking him in the spine which propelled him forward. he then dashed again this time giving him a solid blow in the gut which send Exalibar flying upwards and then he waited for him to crash into the ground. The amount of force he use was sure to kill him. He turned without even confirming the kill and started to walk headed towards the bank. Out of pure instinct he held up his hands to his head to receive a powerful kick from Exalibar. The kick had enough force to shatter both Exalibar's leg and the gauntlet he had used to block. Still the force was enough to knock him off his feet into the air. Jumping with his still good leg Exalibar propelled himself towards Gauntlets' zooming body. Grabbing him by the head, Exalibar drove him into the ground. Not giving him time to recover Exalibar raised Gauntlets out of the ground and hit him right back into it. He prepared to raise him again but Gauntlets reacted quicker. He pushed himself off the ground and flipped landing behind Exalibar. Taking this golden opportunity he punched right through Exalibar's chest and ripped out his heart. "I win", he though to himself only to have his arm chopped of at the joint while still impaling Exalibar. 

Gauntlet: How?? HOW???? No matter you will soon die. (removes remaining part of arm and begins to walk towards the bank)

Exalibar didn't even respond. He couldn't respond. How many did he have? How many ruled had recharged since the fritz. But now wasn't the time for such thoughts. He had to deal with Gauntlets and fast. Without a heart he had 30 seconds before he passed out. Even if he had rules he would have to wait 30 more seconds for his body to grow a new one and 15 seconds in order to regain consciousness. This was time he could not afford to lose. He could kill everyone in the bank if he used 100% maximum output on the suit. He had to do something and fast. Gauntlets was already walking away towards the bank, towards the innocent people, towards Aisha. Putting all the power he had left into his one good leg he propelled himself forward. He aimed straight for Gauntlets head. Gauntlets felt the air change and knew that Something was heading towards his head. A futile attempt he thought and ducked his head. Which left his neck wide open. Exalibar had not only propelled himself but had thrown Gauntlets' own arm ahead of him. Sure this would reduce his speed but have him the opening he needed. He swiftly chopped off Gauntlets head with a the knife he had in his outfit. Both bodies crashed into the ground. "15 seconds. I have 15 seconds left. I need to make it into the bank. I need to......" Exalibar crawled on the ground pulling himself as he went. But he was spent. It was beginning to all blur but then he saw something that gave him hope. Hope than even in the 45 seconds he would be unconscious someone was there to help. He saw.............. Ronin.
