Many would argue that there was no such thing as coincidence, and that everything happened for a reason. The smart know that while everything happens for a reason, it doesn't mean that everything that happens was foretold. The law of Mathematical Coincidence, for example, defines this. Zettai, on the other hand, believed such questions were about as important as what your favorite flavor of dog shit was. When it came down to it, things happening on purpose or not made little difference in the face of that obstacle, and as Zettai stalked a powered human girl, he decided that he was going to try and eat her. Earlier in the day, he had spotted her when he was walking along the road in search of entertainment. She was performing a strange ritual at the end of her driveway, closing a lid on a canister and snapping a flag down. It was then that he tasted her ambient spiritual energy, and the power in it assaulted his tongue like a three-cheese nacho platter. He didn't just want to eat her. He needed to eat her.
But after waiting for nearly three hours for her to emerge from her house again, he grew frustrated. Deciding to spook her out, he turned from the house and began to sonido until he was good three kilometers. Exhausted, he wiped the sweat from his brow before releasing a pillar of reiatsu into the sky. As his green energy pierced the clouds momentarily, he grinned. There was no way she wasn't feeling that and not stirring. Biting down, a light of determination flashed in his eyes once more as he began another series of sonido to her house. Peeking from behind the gate, he watched her get in her car and pull out. Flipping over the gate at the last second, he clung to the inside wall and prayed she didn't see him. After she emerged onto the road and began to cruise, he followed her once more. 'She must be trying to run away.' He nearly purred at the idea, but trying to keep up with her car was absolutely exhausting. Feeling his frustration start to bubble within him once more, he decided to do something about the fast-moving vehicle without mangling his prey. Scanning the road, he couldn't believe his luck!
A larger vehicle hauling dangerous scrap wasn't too far up from her. Waiting until the right opportunity (the small car in between them merging out of the lane), he fired a couple bala at the back gate of the truck. Popping open the safety latches, Zettai's efforts resulted in the truck's load sprawling onto the street behind it. As his sought-after prey drove into it, he felt a sensation inside of him akin to joy. He was going to do it. He was going to eat her. She pulled off to the side of the road, and he dropped from his place in the sky above the treeline to the ground beneath the canopy. Now he had her. She was distracted, looking for something in her car. Reaching the edge of the treeline, he placed a hand on the trunk of the tree. The fun thing about cero was even a gillian's could destroy concrete, so blowing a hole cleanly through the tree would be no problem, and result in minimal loss of the cero's power. As his green reiatsu began to condense and swirl in the thin space he allowed between his palm and the bark, he could smell the wood singing already. It was time to determine if his hunt was worth the effort, or if this human was worth less than the fodder in the streets. 3...2...1...Fire!

Notable Actions: Cero fired at Beginner rank through a tree from ~15 meters away. Logic dictates you be looking for your phone in the driver side of the vehicle, which puts the car between us as well.

Side note, I saw an opportunity and took it. Hope it doesn't feel too metagamey. If it does, let me know and I'll fix whatever's weird.
