After a grueling battle, with powers on both sides deteriorating, two old friends find themselves in the crossfire. Regina has partly transformed into her human half, trying to protect her wounded body. Somewhere during the fight, the hero chose to show her mercy. Now the authorities are pursuing her, taking the matter into their own hands. "We must take the snake woman: dead or alive." With bullets flying around them, Narda shields her with all the power she has remaining. Regina was never a villain in her eyes. She was a best friend, a mentor, someone she promised to protect. Someone that Narda loved. It hurt when she couldn't help her then and somehow lost her. "I can't lose you again." Amidst the zipping bullets behind her, nothing else mattered at that moment. Regina's regretful eyes, they've been longing for Narda all this time. "When all of this is over...Maybe I'll be able.." One by one, the bullets are slowly chipping away at what's left of Narda's armor. And with a quick "THWICK!" Regina's face was gushing red. How pitiful it is never to have your second chance. The "what ifs" haunt you when you try to sleep at night, gnawing on you until you finally drift off.
