The scene opens up to a burning, ruined city, nothing but tainted red everywhere. Stiletto herself is standing on the back of a girl wearing some manner of jetpack armor, the flames speeding her onward as they soar through the sky. Stiletto is wearing... some kind of outfit, but doesn't seem fazed by it in the slightest. The target of Stiletto and her friend is the black-and-red girl from her earlier memories, also using her transformed outfit to fly - but she doesn't seem to expect the chase, her expression shocked as she turns around at the sound of Stiletto's voice.
"Ryuko Matoi!"
It's almost a snarl, and Stiletto has her sword drawn already - and swings it in a wide arc, sending a blast of energy towards the girl - Ryuko? It catches her across her midsection, catapulting the girl into an iron tower with enough force to break off a part of it. That's nowhere near the end, though: Stiletto's friend continues the assault, blasting Ryuko with more rays of energy. The girl growls, transforming her outfit again, this time armed with long red claws that she uses to scramble around the collapsing tower, dodging the rays.
As the debris falls, Ryuko almost manages to ambush Stiletto and her friend, dropping from a falling beam, slashing at Stiletto - who dodges to the side just in time, even if it means she has to jump off her friend's back.
"Lady Satsuki!"
Her friend's voice is full of fear and concern, but even as Stiletto falls she only frowns, gripping her sword tighter, changing position, and--
"How impertinent!"
She barks the words out as one of her pauldrons shoots off, trailing a rope, and bites into the steel of the tower. Stiletto - Satsuki - pulls herself up by reeling the rope back rapidly, using the additional great momentum it gives her to aim for Ryuko again, delivering a savage kick to her midsection, sending the other girl flying until she slams into another section of the tower again. While she's still shocked from the collision, Stiletto lunges at her, sword drawn.
But - perhaps surprisingly - she doesn't go for the kill, although her strike is still brutal, enough to collapse the rest of the tower. But Ryuko, seemingly unconscious, is only left to fall - likely to her death, of course, should she fail to wake up in time. It's a long way to the ground, after all.
