The next day, we saw that 03 indeed came down to make a visit. As soon as he saw me he grabbed me by the arm. "We're going to the dojo right now. I'm going to beat you to a pulp. Then, I am going to make you mine. You're going to submit to me, whether you want to or not." I snatched my arm from him. He glared at me. I offered my hand. "Be nice, 03." He rolled his eyes and took it. He knew where the dojo was. Once we got there, he let go. 03 walked to the other side. "I'm not holding anything back." he said. 03 then went through the display of all his equipment to ensure that they were ready. He had the golden nanite armor. That was going to be tough, but not impossible to get through. He had the bolt rifle running down his left arm. His plasma cannon was in his stomach. His hands were his impact organs. His chest had the sonic organ. He had 2 shotguns as well. One in each ass cheek. Every single weapon upgrade he had was made of golden nanites. He looked at me with determination on his face that I had not seen before. He was going to try everything he could to beat me.
I had my cheat rifle, my magic and my wits about me. I was pretty confident that I could win this. I beat 03 multiple times before. Even when it was 2 on 1 or 3 on 1. All of those times, he was just throwing a temper tantrum. We did not need to ever bring him down to his primordial form. It looked like I might have to this time. There was the sense this was a final battle scenario. We started the fight by circling one another. We both knew that the other was way too dangerous to simply charge in there. After a very intense couple of minutes, 03 inched closer to me with his hands out in a basic grappling stance. I did the same until we were less than a finger's length away from one another. He went to lock up with me, but I dodged. That was just a little feint to catch him off guard. His hands were his impact organ. He could easily crush my very human hands. I went for a punch, but he jumped back out of reach. We were back where we started. I smirked and said "It's nice being able to see you at your best." 03 said "You have not seen my best yet." He stuck out his tongue. I thought he was mocking.
Golden nanites flowed off his tongue like saliva until it formed 5 gold bullets. He was going to try to shoot me with his rifle arm. "You really think I'm going to stay still long enough for you to shoot me?" I asked. "Don't worry. I will make you." 03 replied as he put the first bullet in his shoulder. I lifted my own rifle. We circled each other again. I wanted to drag this out as long as possible. His left arm was bent at a 90 degree angle as 03 focused on me. He extended his arm and that expelled the bullet. He shot me in the knee. It hurt a whole lot. I was not expecting to be immediately hobbled. 1 bullet was not going to put me down though. The fight would have to continue with a single leg until I could heal myself. I shot him with my rifle. 03's body was covered in the golden armor plating. The bullets were only doing minor chip damage. He just smirked at me. "What are you going to do now, Brianne!?" he asked. 03 was getting a bit cocky. I still had several tricks up my sleeves. This fight was far from over. Both of us had something to prove. It seemed that both of us had always been holding back too.
