Gauntlet Maiden Tatsumi

"Goodmorning! Wonderful people of Gale!" A lady in a lab coat yells out as she stands at the center of the city. No one pays attention to her and just go on with their day. Some see her and takes a quick photo or video and proceeds with their day. "Huh, guess it's true what they say, people won't notice you unless you do something big." The lady stated as she moves her glasses. "Well, if you want to be noticed Eves, then you got to do something big." The lady, who's name is Eves, muttered to herself as she grabs a metallic suitcase. "Then lets do something big!"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" People yell out as explosions starts appearing everywhere in the city of Gale. People running away in panic, trying to avoid the falling debris of the buildings where the explosions came from.

"Oh my, I thought this was a city of peace and quiet? Why are people making such a ruckus?" Eves stated as she casually watch people running away. "Watch your steps people! You don't know when a debris might fall!" Eves says as she blasted a building with a lazer she's holding, letting out a laugh.

The debris from the building starts falling towards a child who froze in place, staring at the slowly arriving debris. The child closed her eyes as she braced for impact, a few seconds passed but the impact she was expecting didn't arrive. She opened her eyes and saw a figure holding the debris up, preventing it from crushing her. "Tatsumi!" The child gasped as smile fills her face.

"Why hello there. Are you okay?" The figure asked as it kept holding up the debris. The figure was Tatsumi, the Gauntlet Maiden.

"Yes! I'm okay now!" The girl replied as she smiled.

"That's great! Say, can you do me a favor? This debris is getting a little heavy. Can you get away from this place?"

The girl gave Tatsumi a nod and she starts running away from the debris, she made it towards a group of people where a woman hugged her, it was her mom, tears in her eyes.

Tatsumi placed the debris down and started running towards the cops, where they were pointing their guns at Eves. "Lady! We have you surrounded! Drop your weapon and surrender now!"

"What are we working with here, Joe?" Tatsumi asked as she starts putting on a pair of gloves.

"She's Charlotte Eves, also known as Professor Eves. She was arrested a few years back for blowing up the Gale bridge, but somehow, she managed to escape her captivity."

"I see. Get this place evacuated and leave her to me."

"Can you handle it?"

"Of course I can, she's just an old lady. What can an old lady do to harm me? I got age on my side." Tatsumi stated as she put on a helmet.

"Alright, but be careful. She may be an old lady, she's still a threat." Joe stated before leaving Tatsumi behind. "I want all units to evacuate people from this area, stat!" Joe said on his transceiver as he helped a few people get out of their cars.

Tatsumi started walking towards Eves as she taps the side of her helmet. Her helmet then starts showing a hud display on the screen.

"Hey? What's going on? Where are the cops going? Is it doughnut time?" Eves asked as she looks around, looking at the cops who are pulling out. "Oh hello, who might you be?"

"Hi! My name is Tatsumi Scarlet, I'm kind of the guardian of this city. You know, the one who keeps people safe. And I was wondering if you could do me a solid and leave?"

"Pft, how cute! You're asking me to leave?"

"Yeah, I don't really like the idea of me beating up old ladies so, if you could leave, that would be great."

"Excuse me? But what did you just say? I hope you didn't say old lady."

Tatsumi paused as Eves starred at her, annoyed.

"Yeah....? Look, lady? I don't really want to hurt an old lady like yourself. So if you could do me a solid and just surrender yourself, that would be great. It's also Fruity Friday at the prison, if you're into fruits."

Eves started laughing as Tatsumi finished her sentence. Taking off her glasses and wiping them with her lab coat. "Oh honey, no one calls me an old lady. And too bad, if you don't want to beat up old ladies, I love beating up little children." Eves placed her glasses back as she grabs the lazer which was hanging on her shoulders. "And little girls like yourself deserve some beating after calling me an old lady." Eves snapped her fingers and the lazer started changing shape. The lazer suddenly turned into a giant hammer. "Light's out kid." Eves quickly charged at Tatsumi as she swung the hammer.

"Shoot!" Tatsumi stated as she tapped the side of her helmet, gauntlets then started appearing, covering her hands. The gauntlets appeared just in time, blocking the giant hammer that was about to hit her right in the face. As the gauntlets blocked the hammer, Tatsumi is sent flying towards a building, crashing through it.

"Alright! Who else wants to call me an old lady!?" Eves yelled out as she snapped her fingers and the hammer turned into a gatling gun. "Here's my answer to those who'll call me old lady!!!" Eves started firing the gatling gun and rain of bullets are going everywhere. "No one calls me an old lady!!! I'm only 20!!!"

The people who were still in the area started panicking as they ducked, avoiding the rain of bullets being fired from Eves' gatling gun. People started screaming and crying, covering their heads from falling debris.

"Get those shields in here! We are taking heavy fire!!!" Joe screamed at his transceiver as he radios for back-up. "I don't care if they're not charge up to a hundred! We just need them to help Gauntlet Maiden buy some time!!! Get your shields up and running and come to the area!!!" Joe frustratedly turned off his transceiver as he grabbed his gun. "Where's Tatsumi!? Does anyone have visuals on Tatsumi!?"

As the cops are covering for Tatsumi, Tatsumi comes back to consciousness after she received the heavy hit from the hammer. "Oh boy, I'll be feeling that in the morning." Tatsumi muttered as she stands up from the rubble. Tatsumi cracks her neck a little as she looks down from the building she was in and there she saw the cops firing at Eves as Eves keeps on firing her gatling gun at the cops. "Alright, being nice to this old lady has sailed away. I've got some punching to do."

"Alright guys! As much as I want to stay and have a little chit chat with you all, I have a schedule to keep up so, I'm cutting our conversation short, including you." Eves smiled as she snapped her fingers, making the weapon she's carrying change shape and take the form of a scythe. After the weapon changed successfully, she dash forward, swinging the scythe at one of the cops.

Before the scythe could reach the cop, a giant boulder appeared out of nowhere and it hit Eves, making the scythe miss the cop.

"Tatsumi!" The people cheered and clapped as Tatsumi enters the scene.

"Hey granny! Did you receive your medicine?" Tatsumi stated as she readies herself, her gauntlets ready for fighting.

Eves got up from the rubble which was once a huge boulder, she smirks as she wipes the blood off of her lips. "Let's dance kid." Eves replied as she charges at Tatsumi, her weapon changing from scythe to a huge hammer. Tatsumi did the same thing and started charging towards Eves.
