You all pretend to be a normal guild by day, but I know what your real story is! B-besides, the... the payment for the job was..." </strong></em><br/><br/>Alice raised an eyebrow at that particular moment when Tsumia mentioned that payment. The way she hesitated to speak about it... Maybe it was the reason why she chose to believe whatever they threw at her to recruit the girl for that insane blood festival? But the blonde hadn't much time to think carefully about that. Tsumia snapped out of her little ramble and shouted back at Alice:<em><strong>"Don't worry about that! And we didn't trap a single person! We put those townspeople into the shield crystals so that not a single innocent soul would get hurt while we wipe your corruption off the earth!" </strong></em><br/><br/>After that, Tsumia summoned once again her wings and flew away, throwing Alice off balance with the gust of wind from her wings. Alice lost her aiming, but she promptly jumped backwards and got ready to fight. The Fairy Tail gunslinger was convinced that Tsumia was tricked to fight against them. She was determined to show the truth, but it was now clear her enemy was beyond any reasoning now.<br/><br/><em><strong>"So don't expect me to hold back! I'm fighting for justice, the honor of others, and my own sake as well!"</strong></em>said the girl, aiming that canon which appeared on her arm once more. Alice didn't even flinch. Aiming at her once again, she said:<strong>"So be it! If you're fighting for justice, you won't lose this battle, am I right? The same can be said about me. Justice always prevail, no matter what. Let's decide who's the real hero with our guns, shall we?"</strong><br/><br/>Any kid could see the flaw in that logic, but Alice hoped Tsumia's naiveness and eagerness to do what was right would made her blind to this fact. Later, she would convince the girl she was fighting in the wrong side. But for that, she had to win, and that girl wasn't a weak opponent. Alice had to play smart, make a plan. But which one?<br/><br/>At least she could get the upper hand and make the girl dance to her music. Alice began to fire, as quick as she could, trying to force Tsumia to lose height. Meanwhile, she began to analyze her surroundings. Perhaps she could find something to make a bullet rebound at hit the girl from behind?<br/><br/>As an answer to the gunslinger, her eyes glanced over at the nearby gears from the giant clock of the tower. At the right angle, perhaps...<br/><br/>Alice didn't waste time. She kept firing, running to find the right position between her, Tsumia and the giant cogs. Once she got it, Alice ceased to shoot. She was ready to fire at the very moment Tsumia decided to retaliate. She only hoped that fight would end so easily.
