Everyone froze, eyes wide, as they watched Barbie fall to the ground, blood spilling across the floor.

If they hadn't seen it themselves, they wouldn't have believed it.

A legendary warrior-undefeated in the arena-now dead by a single bullet.

Jaws dropped. No one could've seen this coming.

They thought Barbie's arrival would settle things. Instead, everything flipped upside down.

"You!" Henry barked. "Don't you have any honor? How could you use a gun in a fight?"

"Good question," Alex nodded, cool and sharp.

"Why would anyone try to fight someone with a gun using their bare hands? Is she stupid? Most people run from a gun, not charge at it-unless she really thought she could win."

"She can't!" Henry screamed.

"She rushed me. I figured she could take it. So, I shot!" Alex snapped back.

"Alright, Barbie, I'm sorry," he added, his voice flat.

You bastard! What's the use of your sorry? She's dead now!" Henry shouted.

Alex's answer was another shot-this time grazing Henry's thigh

Henry screamed, clutching his leg as he collapsed.

Alex leveled the gun at him. "You wanna keep talking, or should I send you to see Barbie in the afterlife so you can deliver my apology? I could even say 'sorry' to you once I'm done. How's that sound?"

Everyone felt sick. What was the point of saying sorry to the dead?

"All of you start doing your job," he sneered, "feel free to keep pushing my buttons. I've got plenty of bullets and an endless supply of apologies."

"Damn," they all thought. Bella made no sense. This guy made even less.
