Neo staggered along a dark alley in a cold rain, looking for a place to rest after a Dust crystal robbery went wrong. Yang had found her, and they had fought long and hard... and then, they had been attacked by a rogue gang of White Fang.

Neo tried to open her parasol, but it was jammed. She cast it aside, and her exhaustion and injuries made her head spin. Suddenly, she lost her strength and found herself lying flat on her back.

Oh well, Neo thought as she passed out. It was a short life, but it was fun...

Neo awoke, and found herself in a nearby empty building— in the lap of her enemy.

A shocked Neo looked up at her nemesis with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.

"Well, I couldn't just leave you to die in the street," Yang said. "Unlike SOME people, I have a conscience... Let's just rest and get our strength back, OK? We can settle the score another time."
