08 - The Burst
"Really, darling? Is that the best you've got?"
The sniping contest had been going on for hours. The Onnamusha and Burst had been tied the whole time, but it hadn't stopped her from constantly taunting. If anything, it'd only egged her on.
The Onnamusha acted like she was focused on sniping, but in her head she was relishing the taunting.
"Now, watch a master at work!"
To be fair to the Burst, she had the skill to back up the shit-talking. In one flick of the wrist, she shot down five targets from fifty meters, without even looking at them!
"I'd like to see you beat that!"
Oh, she'd see all right.
The Onnamusha braced herself to fire, and with five short squeezes of the trigger matched the Burst's score.
You'd think sniping with a pistol would make things a lot harder, but surprisingly no. The only thing that limited Rider weapon range was the horizon, and even that could be calculated around.
"Not bad! You're almost as good as my grandma!", the Burst chuckled.
The Onnamusha could've wiped the floor with the Burst hours ago. She just liked hearing her talk.
