A gust of wind nearly blew them off their feet, and up ahead of them within the alley HBFS stood with his back turned to them. “Did you really think you could get away so easily? I’m disappointed, Tohdoh! A sloppy retreat does not a miracle make!”

Another gust of wind hit them, this time from the front. HBFS had his hand clasped around Tohdoh’s throat, and he shifted modes before anyone could do anything. Suzaku lunged forward and found himself hurled into a wall for his troubles.

“No need to find the girl,” HBFS said. “I’ll just torture your teacher inst-”

A shot rang out, and HBFS fell to the ground. It took Suzaku a moment to realise exactly what had happened, but neither he nor Tohdoh wasted any time scrambling out of the alley. It was as if time had slowed to a crawl, giving them all the opportunity they needed as HBFS lay there completely still. As soon as they were clear, a series of controlled explosions brought both buildings on either side down upon HBFS’ body. He was in Stronger when that hit. His body would not be durable enough to survive. Another member of Stand Out defeated. Suzaku could breath again, though it felt like he might have broken a rib on that last attack.

“Another miracle against a foe with superior firepower?” Suzaku asked, half joking with his teacher. “How did you manage it?”

Tohdoh nodded towards a group emerging from various hiding places nearby. All of them wearing that same uniform, the same trenchcoat and caps of the Black Knights. And on a rooftop on the building on the opposite end of the alley a man with a sniper rifle stood up and waved at them. Suzaku couldn’t help but be impressed: He must have observed the battle from afar, determined the ability or overheard him gloating and established a plan to lure him into a killzone. No precaution spared. Just like him to try something like that. The only objection Suzaku had was the destruction of property, though at least it hadn’t cost any innocent lives in the process.
