Victory! "O'couse mastah Tray," she answered back smirking sideways and all but leering at Athrun. [/scrolly]

Sure, she was supposed to be scouting out West. But she'd done that, and found the right information she needed. Besides, how happy would Lyall be when she succeeded with this mission? That and she'd be rid of a thorn in her side. But to her dismay, Tray hadn't been around. But she didn't come here for nothing. And so, she waited. Finally, she saw Tray and his servants nearing the mansion. But if she had any say, Tray would not be entering. Raising her gun, she aimed at the noble, and fired. Damn...she missed. But that's what she got for using a pistol. Raising her weapon, she aimed, prepared to fire more shots. [/scrolly]

Athrun had still been quiet, slightly sulking at the fact that Gwen was once again getting more attention than himself. It just wasn’t… A sudden gun shot rang through the air, nipping the ground in front of them and causing the dirt scatter. Both the sound and sight of the bullet hitting the ground so close to them caused Athrun to jump and for a moment he froze in his spot. That bullet had been meant to…

A sudden rush of both fear and anger raised inside Athrun and he found himself sliding in front of Tray. Both of his arms spread out as he stood there, making a human shield of sorts. It wasn’t the best of shields as he greatly shorter in size compared to Tray, but at lest he tried. It was all he was able to do as he had no talent with a weapon or had any of his own. Gwen was once again going to get the… oh He had a pokemon that could help, maybe.

Quickly, Athrun reached down and pulled out a pokeball, before tossing it into the air, “Use Protect and shield our master.” Athrun commanded as a Frillish took form. The ghost type didn’t bother asking questions and quickly formed the protect spell that Athrun had asked for.

Though for abrief moment, she didn't see the shooter, it was after that that Gwen's eyes narrowed sharply, and almost instantly, the woman was on the move whipping out a gun and shooting as she rain straight at Iris. "Bitch you ihs gonna pay for dat!" Gwen snapped violently as she shot off her gun. [/scrolly]

Meanwhile, Tray was unable to speak, pale white as he hid behind Athrun, and the Protect of the Frillish. His eyes widened and he grew even paler when he saw who his assailant was. "It can't be..." he muttered to himself. Iris meanwhile slipped behind the tree, firing off a few shots at Gwen when she did so. "Bring it," she spat back before pulling out a throwing knife and throwing it at Gwen while Tray watched in horror as he cowered behind his servant. [/scrolly]

Athrun gulped as he watched Gwen and the mystery girl battle it out. They almost looked like something out of the movies and it was SO cool! … wasn’t fair at all but… It was SO COOL! Well, he still had an important job, right? Keep the protect up so no stray bullets hit the master. Also… “It’s ok sire, Gwen will take her down.” He spoke softly but as confident as possibly. He had even managed to not stutter over his words. Yup, he was proud of himself.

A parallel pair of bullets one right behind the other grazed the teal haired woman's arm, yet she didn't even flinch before shooting off her own rounds rather quickly. The only hing that could come to her mind was this was not a pokemon fight for sure.Whipping around another tree herself, Gwen turned and shot a few more bullets before slinking behind the tree again. "The 'ell do you want bitch!" Gwen shouted at Iris. [/scrolly]

It couldn't be...she was back? And she was trying to kill him. Oh, and Gwen was in danger, too. But Iris was out to kill him! "How did she find me again? What is wrong with that woman?" he asked no one in particular. Meanwhile, Iris peeked from behind her tree to fire more shots as a few bullets grazed her own arm as well. She fired her gun until she ran out of bullets. Instead of reloading, she put the gun on her belt, then pulled out three throwing knives before running from her hiding place, tossing one knife at Gwen as she ran. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

He knew it was suppose to be a stressful, frightening and life threatening experience at that moment, yet Athrun couldn’t help but blush. His master was clinging to him and for once in his life he felt rather important. He was making Tray feel a bit more secure and that was the world to him. Yet at the same time he also had a sinking feeling he would be completely forgotten about once Gwen took out this crazy woman who was trying to murder his beloved master. For now he would enjoy it.

“You know her sire? Athrun asked, looking over his shoulder for a moment before looking back at the battle before them. “I don’t know how anyone would want to hurt you.” He really couldn’t understand it. Perhaps they had a bad break-up and the woman was simply going through extremely bad withdrawal. Yes, that had to be it. Sometimes love did crazy things to people and really, who wouldn’t fall in love with Tray? He was so… so very sexy. Oh and manly. And, and smart and…

However, when said bullets stopped, she moved out only to find Iris coming at her. Using her handgun to block one of the knives, Gwen cocked her head to one side and shot off there bullets at Iris's shoulder. "Bitch I'll kill ju fo' messin' with deh mastah!" Gwen growled more under her breath than anything. Rather than thinking that it was a good show for Tray, Gwen was on cold hard focus. [/scrolly]

"When we were young, we were betrothed. But she was always bitchy and hard to get along with. On her eighteenth birthday, we were to be wed. She ran away and I never saw her since." Iris leaped out of the way, a bullet still hitting her left arm. "Eat this, bitch!" She tossed four knives at Gwen, one after another, then, out of ammo, she charged and leaped at the bodyguard, intending to take her down and slug it out. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

Betrothed? So it was a love-hate thing! He knew it! Ha, Tray was probably too good for her so she ran away in shame and now she was angry with herself for doing so! So, in her anger she blindly blamed Tray and decided to kill him for it! Ok, a little extreme but hey, he believed it. “Well she doesn’t know what she’s missing out on.” Athrun nodded, a rather serious look upon his face, “I certainly never would have abandoned you.”

The second cut her hand rather badly causing the teal haired woman to recoil dodging the third in turn and somehow managing to seize the fourth in another moment. However, when Iris tackled her, Gwen held the knife in a stabbing motion making to slash her shoulder in turn. [/scrolly]

The two rather attractive women...Tray shook that thought out of his head, letting go of Athrun as he regained his composure. Iris took the slash to her left shoulder, and grunted in pain. What the ex-assassin did know was that she needed to regain her control; wild strikes and gutsy moves did not win a fight like this. It took skill, not luck. Iris's right hand moved across to grab the wrist of Gwen's knife hand as her left knee moved to drive into the other woman's stomach. Thanks to the bullet, and the cut on her left arm, she was pretty much fighting with one arm. However, the fact that that was her blood running down her arm barely seemed to phase her. [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

Athrun watched the two girls as they fought, worry in his mind as the strange woman continued to battle one even with the injuries she had received. There was a lot of worry in his mind, most and foremost the idea of Gwen losing. If she lost the battle then the woman would be going after them next, right? Athrun was pretty sure he couldn’t battle in such a way. He had his pokemon though. He could use them, right? Surely a pokemon would out fight a mere human but… he really didn’t want to chance making a mistake. Gwen better win this fight!

However, they narrowed sharply again as she whipped her right hand into a fist and made to punch back before issuing out a kick of her own. Backing up a bit, she made to suddenly rush at where her gun was. If she could just shot her in the had, this would be over with! [/scrolly]

[KARP KARP!]

[atrb=style,background-image:url(http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv181/SojiRem/irisposttable.png);][atrb=width, 497][atrb=height, 297][atrb=style,border:0 purple none,b,Table][scrolly:h(200),w(269),sy,as(padding:4px 0px 5px;margin-top:8px;margin-left:208px;color:#de86e2;)]Iris caught the punch right to the right eye, then fell back from the kick. But she saw Gwen heading for the gun. Iris had to act fast. Grabbing a nearby knife she'd thrown, she picked it up and tossed it at where Gwen was reaching, hoping to leave her mark. Then, she made her own desperate dive for the gun. "Come on, Gwen..." Tray muttered, in his heart, kind of hoping she came out with little injury... [/scrolly]

[Lady Leaf]

Athrun heard the muttered words of Tray and though he was thinking the same thing his stomach still sunk. That feeling he had before that once this battle was over and the crazy woman was gone Tray would go to Gwen and he would be tossed aside. It almost made him wish Gwen would lose the battle but then, that would be a mean thing to wish, wouldn’t it? Well… if he couldn’t wish her harm, he might as well help her in the only way he knew how, “You can beat her Gwen!” He yelled out in his loudest voice which… really wasn’t very loud at all. But hey, he at least tried.

Sticking out now from the side of her shoulder was one of Iris's idiot knives. Hissing a little, Gwen witched hands fumbling for a split second with the gun before aiming the gun at Iris. "Bitch," she muttered to herself before pulling the trigger. [/scrolly]

Collapsing onto the ground, she let out a cry of pain, the bullet having taken a chunk from her left calf-muscle. If she didn't get out now, she'd be dead. And she was no use to Ly dead. Thinking quickly, she called out Knight, and the Ponyta appeared, instantly putting himself between Gwen and his master. "Knight....smokescreen..." she breathed. The Ponyta obeyed, releasing the smoke as Iris latched onto her Ponyta. When the smoke cleared, Knight and Iris were gone, having left nothing but a trail of blood. Tray blinked at the scene. "She's....gone?" [/scrolly]
