The wolf charged, reckless as ever, and failed to dodge this final, most critical attack. A guttural cry overtook it as the armor-piercing round tore into its hierro. A shrill cry - and then Rei could feel herself falling alongside of a misty cloud of blood. What once was massive was now not.

The young man crashed into the asphalt, bouncing as he made like a hypersonic tumbleweed into the broad side of a fallen billboard. A resounding thud, and the boy groaned, staring up at the sky.

"No... that's no good." Loki coughed, blood seeping from his mouth. His resurreccion had been utterly destroyed. He had no idea who this human was -- he'd never met one so fierce before. He looked over, imprinting Rei's face into his memory one last time before he put his hand on the ground, summoning a Garganta beneath himself to enable his escape. He wouldn't die today.

Things hadn't gone well, but he had a flash of lucidity in that final moment. It was progress in controlling his released form. And maybe, perhaps, that was the true treasure of the day.

Rei watched on as her shot tore through the creatures armour and put an end to it's rampage. At least until she spotted the smaller humanoid figure falling alongside her in the mist. It wasn't something she was familiar with when it came to hollows, but she wasn't about to put an end to her hunt just yet. This thing had killed people, and she was hardly about to let it escape that easily. Rei tumbled across the bloodsoaked streets, her elegant outfit now stained and torn thanks to the skirmish.

She rose to her feet and holstered her rifle, continuing her hunt until the moment their eyes met again. Without hesitation, Rei leveled her weapon ready to fire and took the shot. Unfortunately it wasn't quick enough and he managed to slip her grasp in the last possible moment. He might have even felt the burning reiatsu scorch through the air above his head.

Rei took a moment to breathe, dissatisfied with her failure to kill the beast but content enough with the outcome. There was little to do now but move on, but she made sure to remember that face. Next time it wouldn't be getting away. For now she needed to sate her aggression, and the various hollows invading Shibuya would do just fine.
