They went to the food hall.
Saw Raiji banged up.
RAIJI:"Took you two long enough. I want a rematch. Those guys that attacked us out of nowhere. Especially that girl."
AURORA:"You two seemed even. But the men in black? Out of your league right now. Need training. But time is too short."
LIEUTENANT:"There is a way to train within this 24-hour window. Swordsman over there just requires more skill. Kiro requires gravity training and control. Then Aurora you can do you. We all already know how your ability works."
RAIJI:"Ability?"
AURORA:"Well... I've got a confession."
She took a breath.
"I've got two bounties."
Silence.
"I gave the fake one as my alias. But the real one..."
She winced.
"...is 1 million."
Kiro choked on his drink.
KIRO:"Wait WHAT? 1 MILLION? That's bigger than mine!"
RAIJI:"But but but I don't have a bounty!"
AURORA:"Wait. You two aren't upset?"
KIRO & RAIJI:"YES WE ARE!"
KIRO:"Yours is way higher!"
RAIJI:"I don't even have ONE!"
LIEUTENANT:"Nobody wants to know mine."
KIRO:"Nope. Don't care. Must be low."
LIEUTENANT:"..."
KIRO: "Anyway, resume the story. How did you find out about the corruption?"
AURORA: "Oh yes. Then I got paid."
She pointed at Raiji.
"He knows most already. When we first met and fought, I told him partly."
RAIJI: "You told me NOTHING."
AURORA: "I told you PARTLY."
RAIJI: "You said 'I'm on the run and city destroyed.' That's not PARTLY. That's an invitation for many questions."
AURORA: "Anyway, so I returned to the guild... but never got paid."
KIRO: "Wait. You have a 1 million bounty..."
AURORA: "...Yes. It's a big amount."
KIRO: "And you're judging MY bounty for being small?"
AURORA: "Wait you actually want a bigger bounty?"
KIRO: "Yes. The government keeps giving me low amounts on purpose, I swear."
RAIJI: "I still don't have one. So sad."
AURORA: "That's DIFFERENT."
AURORA:"anyway the Guild Master never wanted to pay me."
BACK — 3 YEARS AGO
She entered the Guild Halls. Talked to the same receptionist.
AURORA:"My payment. I caught him."
RECEPTIONIST:"Sure you did. We got the message but no face, no payment. We need a face before we can let you join."
AURORA:"Then I speak to your boss. I have a little word for him."
The receptionist sighed.
RECEPTIONIST:"Fine. But I told you we need a face. See if you're not criminal."
AURORA:"That ranks only for safety. Not to prevent payment. So danger in my hands."
He walked away.
Aurora walked around. Waited. Saw a bounty poster.
Scanned the code.
It was hers.
BOUNTY: AURORA
Amount: 800,000
Then a fat man came in. Smoking a cigar. Looking very hungry.
GUILD MASTER:"Why must I come out here for some nobody?"
AURORA:"I ain't some nobody. Soon your best bounty hunter."
The Guild Master smoked in her face.
GUILD MASTER:"No face. No entry."
He laughed.
Inner thoughts: (Bet she has huge)
Just before he finished the thought
Then the Guild Master got up.
GUILD MASTER:"OH OH. How dare you? You this girl must have a huge bounty! GET HER!"
A lot of bounty hunters stood up.
A huge punch. Straight through the wall. Shockwave. Electricity arced through ground and air. Caught the attention of every bounty hunter in the room.
AURORA:"Your LAZY FAT ASS BETTER ACCEPT ME AFTER THAT STUNT."
He got up. Rolled over.
"Ahh. Ahh. Huff. Pff."
GUILD MASTER:"How dare you strike a high-ranking Guild Master? Ahhh. Ahhh."
Heavy breaths.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BOUNTY HUNTERS? SHE STRUCK ME!"
Two guys got up. One with green summons green armor. The other rock armor. Then a third summoned a mini-gun.
Multiple bullets flew at her.
Bang bang bang bang.
She put on her EMP shield.
Then the one with green armor jumped up. Thorn whip right at her.
She dodged. From hunger rock hand about to grab her.
She charged first. Punched the ground. Sent a shockwave.
Then in the shockwave she used the gauntlet. Punched air. Sent flying into the mini-gun man. Punched him through the wall.
Then on green. Grew wings. Huge leg.
BANG.
Hit her to the ground. Other grabbed her with rock hands.
GUILD MASTER:"You should've picked a fight with us, little lady. You are now captured. I must eat something. Someone get me meat and throw a bounty on her so we can collect. Take off that junk mask."
Then through Aurora's struggle she became more muscular. Just a bit. Kept her slim figure.
White around her. Also white eyes. White aura around her. Uncontrolled state of grey.
Blast out the rock hand
Then she flew to green armor. Punched him with her normal hand. Sent him through the roof.
Then punched air again. Then charge punched through the ground for rock guy.
And walked outside.
AURORA:"You're going down, you overweight lazy tub of lard."
The Guild Master's eyes went red.
GUILD MASTER:"How dare you insult me?"
He dashed in huffs.
About to punch. Then Aurora dodged. Charge punched his belly.
Sent backward.
Then kick to face. Then punch. Jab. Again and again.
He stayed in one place.
Just grew. Every punch wider and wider. One foot taller.
Then hammered her down to the ground.
She quickly recovered. Punched air. Then spin kick to his chin. Blood out.
And hit his belly. Back to the Guild Hall. Bounty hunters watched.
In quick motion goes for a charge punch.
Then small dales to her. Stop in place.
Also Guild Master's punch stopped in place. Same way.
