Jestress looked over at Koshka.
	  Jestress:
	  "...Can you hear me, little cat?"
	  Koshka:
	  "I heard you."
Jestress has a serious expression on her face. She's saying something that sounds like she wants to kill Koshka with all her might...but there's a very gentle smile on her lips.
	  Jestress:
	  "You don't need to be scared anymore, little kitty."
Jestress holds out her hand toward Koshka.
	  Koshka:
	  "What do you want from me?!"
Jestress smiles even more gently than before.
	  The atmosphere around them changes.
	  Jestress:
	  "...This time, I won't let you run away."
She looks so incredibly strong. Her eyes are filled with a fire that Koshka can feel from a distance.
	  Jestress:
	  "I'm going to kill you. That much is certain."
And then, as if to prove she meant what she said...
	  Jestress:
	  "So, little kitty..."
Jestress raises both hands high into the air, as if she were raising her weapons or wings.
	  Jestress:
	  "How about this? Do you think you can destroy the world?"
Koshka is completely unafraid. She's not afraid of death. In fact, she doesn't fear anything. Even if she dies, Koshka will have escaped this world for good.
It makes no difference to her.
Koshka:
	  "Yes, I'll destroy it!"
A violent sound bursts forth from the hand Jestress holds out toward Koshka. It's an explosion that makes Koshka's ears hurt.
It's a huge amount of power that explodes from Jestress' hand.
And when the shockwave from the blast hits Koshka...
Koshka is blown backward.
She's thrown back by a force powerful enough to throw even a Gauntlet Knight off balance.
Then...
As if she's been shot out of a cannon, Koshka flies through the air.
Koshka:
	  "Hahh!!"
The impact sends a shock wave through Koshka's whole body. But her body isn't destroyed.
In fact, it's still moving forward.
Koshka's body is flying straight toward Jestress.
Koshka:
	  "That was close!! Hehehee!"
Koshka laughs loudly.
She's happy to see Jestress. She's glad that she could meet someone who understands her feelings so well.
Koshka is full of joy.
She's happy that she no longer needs to run away from the world. She can die here, right now, and go to heaven.
And now, she's coming to meet her death head-on.
In her arms, she carries the A3M rifle. It has been modified so that it fires a massive explosive shell.
Everything within a radius of several kilometers is going to be obliterated.
But Koshka is aiming at Jestress.
Koshka:
	  "Heheheheh!!"
Koshka is laughing loudly. She thinks it's funny how Jestress is so worried about the world, when she herself doesn't give a damn.
All she cares about is her own happiness.
Koshka fires her rifle into the sky.
No matter where Jestress is, Koshka will hit her.
Koshka's aim is perfect.
She aims straight at Jestress.
Koshka:
	  "Dieeeeeeee!!"
Koshka lets loose another massive blast.
If she had a lot of time, she would've fired several more shots.
But she doesn't have the time to waste.
She only has the time she needs to bring down Jestress.
And the next moment—
Bang!
A tremendous explosion erupts in the sky.
And then, after a few seconds pass...
The ground shakes violently.
And then, as if everything has suddenly stopped...
Silence falls over the area.
Everything is silent but for the echo of Koshka's laughter bouncing around inside the devastated crater that's formed.
And yet, Koshka is still alive. She hasn't died.
She just lost consciousness from being blasted with such a powerful shockwave.
And then...
Jestress:
"Do you know why I call you a little kitty, little kitty?"
And then, with the same gentle smile, Jestress whispers into Koshka's ear.
"...Because you're a coward."
Koshka:
"Wha...?!"
Jestress' gauntlet has smashed Koshka's skull, sending blood flying everywhere.
Koshka's mind is shaken.
Koshka:
"Ngh...ngh...nnngggg...!!"
The pain is so intense that Koshka feels like she's going to faint.
But that doesn't stop her from firing.
She's still holding onto her rifle. And she can still lift it up and point it at Jestress.
The bullets she fired before have all landed near the crater's center.
They've missed their target.
However... all the bullets come back to life.
Each one flies right toward where Jestress is standing.
And then...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
More bullets are fired.
Bullets from Koshka's rifle.
They're flying so fast that it's impossible to see them.
And then, as if trying to escape from their own fate...
They disappear.
It's like they've been sucked into the sky, leaving behind nothing but a black hole that eats away at space itself.
After an eternity passes.
The darkness disappears from the sky.
The black hole is gone.
And then, as if to make sure the world is safe again...
Jestress fires her gauntlet once more.
She blasts Koshka in the head with a massive shockwave.
And then, Koshka's body vanishes.
A cloud of dust rises from the empty spot where Koshka used to stand.
Finally, Jestress sighs deeply.
She knows she can't stay in the sky forever.
She takes a deep breath of fresh air, and then slowly lowers her arms to her sides.
And then...she turns around.
Her eyes look as if they've finally calmed down. They stare straight at Koshka, still lying on the ground.
She nods slightly.
Koshka:
"What do you want from me?"
Jestress:
"Your death."
And then, with the same smile on her face, she says:
"I'll kill you, little kitty."
And then...
Jestress raises her right arm into the air.
She's pointing her hand at Koshka.
An enormous explosion erupts.
Koshka's head has been destroyed.
Her body stops moving.
And then, as if all the light has disappeared from the world, the darkness descends.
Jestress:
"There we have it. You were a coward, weren't you, little kitty?"
And then, with a sad smile on her face, Jestress walks away.
And as she does...
Koshka's body starts to move.
It's not moving very quickly, and she doesn't seem to have any strength left in her limbs.
Despite all that, she keeps moving.
"What...is this?!"
Jestress has never seen anything like it before.
Koshka's body is flying through the air with incredible speed. She's headed straight toward Jestress.
Jestress:
"Ngahhhhhhh!"
She screams.
She screams so loudly that the sound almost makes you want to cover your ears.
And then, with a force even greater than the shockwaves from Koshka's attacks, Jestress' body is knocked backward.
She tumbles through the air.
Jestress:
"What...? What's happening?! Th-this isn't possible!"
Koshka slams into Jestress' chest.
Jestress' body is lifted up, and then slammed down onto the ground.
Koshka:
"Heheheh..."
Jestress:
"Nghh...what is going on?!"
And then, Koshka lets out a loud laugh.
She continues to laugh, even though her head has been crushed.
Jestress is terrified, unable to do anything as Koshka's body continues to move.
Koshka:
"Heheheh...ha ha ha!"
Koshka's body gradually speeds up.
Soon, it's moving at blinding speed.
She's laughing louder than ever.
Koshka:
"HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Jestress:
"What...are you.."
And then, Koshka's body crashes against Jestress' face.
Jestress is sent flying.
And then, she screams loudly.
Jestress:
"Why...why won't you die?!"
Koshka:
"Ha ha ha! Why? Because I'm a coward?! I'm going to show you something wonderful!"
And then, as if saying "here I go," Koshka raises her right hand.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Koshka shoots herself in the heart.
Koshka:
"Heheheh...ha ha ha ha ha! This is what it means to be a coward!"
She keeps laughing.
The skin on her face is regenerating, and her skull is growing back, too.
Koshka:
"Hahahaha! Hahahahaha! Hahaha! Haaaaahhaha!"
And then, Koshka's body flies through the air, heading directly for Jestresses.
Jestress:
"You're afraid of death, Koshka?"
And then, she spreads her arms wide.
Jestress:
"Then, shall I take away all your fear?"
And then, with a single motion of her hands, Jestress fires her gauntlet toward Koshka.
And then, the world is covered in darkness.
When the light returns, Koshka's body is nowhere to be found.
And then, Jestress sighs deeply.
She glances upward.
And then, she laughs bitterly.
Jestress:
"I'll get you next time, little kitty."
