[X] Stop playing around and just kill her.
You move back to improve the angle of your dive, but just as you stoop one of the tattoos on her right arm lights up - one of three jagged lightning bolts. It burns with a red light and the woman hops back just in time to avoid your attack. You bounce off the roof, lunging at her, but the butt of her weapon slams into your head and you tumble away. Your blood is already rushing, though, and Loki keeps it from doing any major damage, so you charge back at her. Somehow, she's already recovered as well, and you reach out with your left hand to keep her from lining up a shot, latching onto the front of the cannon and pulling the massive weapon out of line. Despite your disruption of her aim, she fires anyway, and a burst of scarlet light signifies Loki's collapse as the bayonet flies out of the weapon, tearing through your shoulder and taking away your left arm with a meaty thunk. Unbalanced, you spin to your left as the recoil halts the woman's charge, grabbing at the forward handle with your right arm to yank the weapon away from her. She manages to hold on, however, so you spin to your right, yanking the weapon with you, but it's only when you fling your arm away, bringing the weapon with it, that she lets go, leaping away. You finish the swing and the butt of the weapon slams into the roof, sending splinters and shards of concrete into the air. You keep your eyes on the woman even as you contemptuously toss her weapon back over your head and to the street below. She's holding a knife, now, and if she realizes how absurd it is that you just tossed away a weapon that weighs more than you do without any strain, she doesn't show it - her flat expression hasn't changed since she came out of the building.
Your left arm is gone, Loki is shut down, and you grin as you hurtle forward. The woman charges as well, knife in her right hand. You pass through a wall of lightning that rushes toward you, scorching your outstretched arm and face and down your throat - but more importantly, it sends a spasm through your heart, inflaming the unhealing wound there. You trip, but before you can fall to your knees the woman is there with her knife. Her first attack is driven straight through your heart, but it reinvigorates you, and when she yanks your head back to strike at your face, your wings lash forward, spearing her knife-arm, and you open your mouth, smiling widely. Your right hand whips up, entering her body just below the rib cage and scything through her ribs and lung and collarbone, and you bring it back before slamming it, open-handed, into her broken rib cage. She flies back, spinning and tumbling as your wings tear through her forearm, and rolls along the roof until she's stopped by the short wall. You rub your chest, then bring your wings in front of you and lick the blood from them, shivering at the power she has. When your black wings are cleaned and your left arm regrown you turn your full attention back to the woman and start walking toward her. She hasn't moved from where she stopped, and lies there shuddering. You roll her over with your foot so she's on her back - it's amazing that she's still alive, really, and she's probably the best human fighter you know of, even better than Vita. But that's a hollow recommendation, and you set your foot on her chest, just over her heart, as she looks up at you pitifully, blood splattered over her face. She coughs and spits up more blood, mouth working convulsively, and you drive your foot through her chest, crushing her heart. She jerks spasmodically before settling into the peace of death, eyes staring blankly to the side.
You step back and stare at her for a moment, then shrug and turn away. There's something a lot more interesting, after all! You hop back down to the street and study the weapon she was using earlier. It's a little scuffed after its fall, but still looks to be in working order. It's taller than you, heavier than you … and unfortunately, too large to fit with the rest of your stuff. Maybe if you tried to take it apart and carried the pieces separately? Still, it's big and unwieldy and probably won't be any good for you unless you just feel like terrorizing people, which you can do perfectly well without it. You sling it over your shoulder and fly back up to the roof. What now? Confront Kirei? Just go back to the temple and hope someone more interesting comes by?
