Gally dodged the thug's clumsy swing easily and
kicked him hard enough to shatter his ribcage. The thug hit
the ground, letting out a gurgling noise, as the singer and
occasional hunter-warrior landed in a crouch. Other thugs,
the five who were left, watched Gally warily. They had
already lost half of their number. In five seconds.
	Gally rose dramatically and glared at the street trash
before her. "So, who will be next?" she asked. The thugs
looked at each other, sweating. For a while nothing
happened.
	Finally, one of the thugs lost his nerve, dropped the
piece of pipe he had used as a weapon, and started running
away screaming. Instantly, Gally exploded into action, intent
on disabling the other thugs before taking care of escapee.
However, before she even reached her four remaining
opponents, three white beams of coherent light cut a path
through the darkness, the fleeing man's chest, another thug's
stomach and one of walls. The two shot thugs fell down and
the others froze. Gally wasted no time in getting rid of one
threat and preparing to meet another potential one.
	3.23 seconds later the three remaining thugs had
been dealt with and Gally turned to face who- or whatever
had killed the two others.
	"Well, it looks like that Panzer Kunst training you
insisted on taking came handy after all, Yoko," a feminine
voice said from the darkness. Gally blinked, startled. The
voice was somehow familiar. And, moreover, it had used that
name. The name nobody but her should know. The name
that might well be her real one. Gally peered in the darkness,
and could make out a silhuette of a small woman.
	"Who... Who are you?" She finally asked, licking her
lips..
	The woman cocked her head to the side. "What do
you mean, 'Who are you?'" she asked and walked out to the
light.
	Gally blinked again as she saw what the blonde
human woman was wearing. Black wrap-around glasses,
despite it being night. A chocker of black leather. A small, red
leather jacket. Black leather gloves. A bra of red and black
leather. Red, leather hot pants with a black leather belt.
Stockings of black leather and red leather boots.
	"It's me, Naomi," the woman said, and something
inside Gally clicked.
	"M-mother...?"

Armitage III / Battle Angel Crossover.

Like a Mother, Like a Daughter.

timeline note: after Angel of Victory, but before Angel of
Redemption. Armitage uses OAV timeline.

notes:

Well, Gally states many times that she was probably born on Mars,
and in what I've read of Battle Angel, her parentage was never
further discussed. 
And if there's something in the last volumes of Gunnm that contradicts
with this, just think of this as an alternate universe. ^_^

If somebody wants to take this, go ahead. If not, then maybe I'll write
it someday.
