Talon's HP: 68
To Hit: 7 (miss)

Talon saw the girl's earphone jack shooting towards him again. He attempted to slice it off, but the thing was such a small target that it made it past his guard without much trouble. He felt a sudden dull pain in the left side of his head. His body jolted as he tried to process what had just happened. Then a warm, wet fluid poured from his eye. It was then that he realized that the girl had punctured his eye with her strange appendage.

He screamed as the dull pain grew in intensity. He focused a bloodthirsty gaze on the hero, devastated by the loss of his eye. The blood from his new wound began to writhe as he hurried to shape it. In just a few seconds, a long, dark spike shot out from his eye. He nearly pierced her forehead, but the pain prevented him from maintaining the shape for too long. She easily avoided his sloppy attack.

“Not very heroic of you...” he grunted, covering his useless eye with his free hand. “Is this what the next generation of heroes is taught? That it's okay to permanently maim someone as long as you label them a 'villain'?”

His lips suddenly twisted into a wry grin. “Well...I guess it doesn't matter. Even if you do win this battle, your career is over. Once the your teachers, the authorities, and the general population find out about the methods you used to stop me, they won't want to associate with you. You'll be labeled a brute or a murderer. So come on...you might as well go all out...'Hero'.”

He couldn't help but chuckle sadistically as he imagined the girl's dark future. Reinvigorated with these thoughts, he shifted back into a fighting stance, bracing himself for what she would throw at him next.
