While Yamato was sitting around at the cafe and playing with his hamsters, absorbed in his thoughts, new faces arrived: first came a certain Mr. Mori, a retired Chaser. While Yamato has respect for senior members of his trade, whether they are Chasers or Beastmasters, he despised the way he treated the fine women at the cafe. Yamato was a classy man, and as evil as he was, even he wouldn't indulge himself in the kind of depravity and audacity that Mori would. If the women weren't capable of defending themselves he would have confronted the barbaric hedonist himself and defended their grace and honor.

Then a new arrival emerged, and she was another pretty lady soaked in blood, which made Yamato smile as his Evil Eye followed her to the back. When she returned, Yamato sighed in disappointment: the outfit she was seemingly forced to wear was not to his taste, catering to the base primal instincts of the male human, and luring the mindless sheep with the promise of seeing lactating organs with no sense of class at all. A shame, since the woman made a good first impression on him.

Besides, Yamato didn't have time to play around: there was work of grand importance to be done, and not even Shiina's allure could distract him as she came to meet him. He stood up and placed a hand on the table. The hamsters ran up his arm and into the confines of his purple scarf. Yamato flipped the scarf back with an elegant sweep of his hand, and courteously bowed to the vampire. "Well then, shall we fly into the scarlet night?" He walked towards the door and opened it with flair. "Ladies first."

Speaking of Eos, the vampire raised an eye at the robot’s request. Keeping Rikka around until she could be helped? It was usually quite difficult, if not impossible in bringing a lingering spirit peace and helping them pass onto the next world. But she didn’t want to discourage the Electric Princess in her task so she refrained from voicing those objective facts aloud.

“Of course you can,” Shiina replied with a smile to both girls. “There’s a spare room next to the one Mistress Eiko was spending in last night and there’s always the room in the back as well. Please, take all the time you need.”

"Really? Thank you, onee-sama!" Eos had a bright smile in her face after Shiina allowed her to keep Rikka until she could find a way to help her newest friend. The android quickly hugged Shiina to show gratitude before turning around just as the vampiress walked away from them "Did you listen to that Rikka-chan, onee-sama said that you can stay with us for as long as you want."

Rikka acknowledged them with a smile and a happy nod. The ghost girl kept staring at Eos with an eager look in her eyes.

"I'll be right back, with something delicious for you." Eos went into the kitchen singing one of her favourite songs, she was in quite a good mood today, to say the least. Once there, she picked a pot and reheated the tea for Rikka as well as looked around for any spare sweets that she could give her.

Once Eos came back, Rikka had moved away from the table and was staring intently at the stage, more specifically she was looking at the drums with eyes full of curiosity.

"Do you like music, Rikka-chan?" Eos helped the girl hop atop the stage and sat by her side while she was eating her treats. It was almost like they were sisters playing around now.

Rikka nodded, answering Eos. Though she didn't remember why was it, the ghost girl used to pass a great deal of her wandering in front of a music store, listening to whatever was it that was playing at the moment. She felt really good when she was listening to music of any sort.

---

After Ikkime had come back with Lucile, Eos was still taking care of Rikka, now showing her how to play some basic notes on her guitar, since Rikka wasn't tall enough to play their drum set yet. Eos went to Shiina just as she finished talking with the others "Onee-sama, do you think that Miss Chikage has any child-sized drum sets? I want to teach Rikka-chan how to play."

It was almost time to open for business, however, so the Electric Princess had to find a way to both keep an eye on Rikka and do her work. She had a great idea, however "Here, Rikka-chan, why don't you play with that cute boy there?"

Rikka nodded and went to Amiti's table. She looked at the young boy quite intently as she waited for him to tell her to sit at the table.

@Lvl Down

Amiti liked everything about the cafe, and he could see why his Grandpa liked to come here all the time. It seemed that his grandpa was close with all the girls in the cafe, which was good. Right? Amiti paused when he saw a small girl about his age walk up to him. She just stood there staring at Amiti, which was strange, even for Amiti. Not knowing what to do he scooted over and said that the girl could sit with him. As she sat down, Amiti immediately felt that there was something different about her. Sadly, his age told him that it was nothing and he preceeded to start talking to the mystery girl. "Hi there. My name is Amiti, what's yours?" The odd girl just looked at him and kept staring. Once again, not knowing what to do, Amiti gave the girl the last piece of the pocky stick. The girl readily accepted the sweet and began to munch down on it. Suddenly, Amiti heard a voice in his head, that simply said "Thank you." Now thoroughly confused it was his turn to stare at the strange girl. She shifted a little uncomfortably in her seat once she noticed Amiti staring at her. "What are you looking at?" Amiti heard in his head as well. Looking around the cafe, Amiti made sure no one else was talking to them than looked back at the girl. "Are you talking to me?" He asked very curiously.

During the afternoon break, the cafe was almost empty, the only ones there were Eos, Rikka, and Eiko, there was not even a single customer around. All the other Chasers had left for a reason or

Rikka and Eos were still playing with the musical instruments as the time went by slowly.

As things began to drag on in the day and Eiko intently cleaned several areas of the cafe including the back and front area, thoughs lingered in her head about her world and what could be happening, Eiko stared out of one of the windows in the cafe while she sat on a stool

"] I wonder, what could the others be doing while I'm gone ? " Various different thoughs filled Eiko's head mixing her feelings up with worry and naive hopefullness." I know Jun can hold her own and keep things from getting out of hand in anyway." Eiko told herself to try and calm down, soon her mind was wondering wondering if someone would come back.

Being alone with the machine and a ghost child seemed a little disturbing for her, she was slowly adjusting to the new world around her, but things still were creepy in her opinion.

Ikkime walked towards the door of the cafe and peered at the alleyway in which she saw eyes "I wonder how Shiina is fairing..." she thought to herself and shook her head, getting thoughts of bad things from her mind. Pulling out her key, she opened the door and walked in, closing it behind her and turning to see Eos and Rikka playing and Eiko near the window.

"What's up hot stuff? Just enjoying life?" she joked at the girl, walking towards the counter and shifting through supplies "Didn't think I would be back so soon, but it seems the damned Damsel forgot to get the list..." she squatted and shuffled around cleaning supplies and such.

When Eos heard the door opening she turned to it and watched Ikkime as she entered in the café, greeting her hearthly, acompanied by Rikka waving her bunny and smiling "Welcome back, Ikki-san!"

Eiko slowly looked in Ikkime's direction when she returned to the cafe, when the called Eiko "[i] hot stuff[i]" The petite woman cocked an eyebrow at the fox yokai wondering what she was getting at." I'm not hot, the air in here is pretty cool really." Eiko responded to the complement the wrong way Ikkime would think she would.

Eiko then rose from her seat remembering what Ikkime said she would do eariler." Ikkime, do you think the list can wait a bit ? I just want to get some fresh underclothes really, the last time I changed them probably had to been a fortnight till today, I haven't really had the time to just sit around and wash myself or change to much really, just hose or wash off and keep moving." She gave too much information and became a little quieter.

" Sorry if I..Said too much, sometimes I don't realize how much I really reveal to others, I never really get to speak about myself to people, I'm usually just quiet and deadly." Eiko told her.

She damn near fell over from how the girl responded and she giggled to herself "Note to self, joking compliments can easily go over peoples heads..." standing, she was quickly becoming fustrated "where did that damn li-"

She turned to see Eiko approach her and talk about clothes. Smiling she waved it off "Of course, I dont mind at all helping you out love, you have my key, you could have just gone up there, but I'll help regardless" she got from behind the counter and motioned for the girl to follow "Hey Eos, the door should be locked, we'll be back alright?" she said half guessing the robot was preoccupied with the ghost girl.

"I'll watch over it, don't worry, Ikki-san."

"Dont worry about over sharing, it's quite alright, im a good listener and it doens't gross me out, it's very reasonable."

Eiko just looked more confused by Ikkime making an outloud note to herself, but then she just shook it off as nothing but a thing yokai people may do or just other people" I-I didn't feel that it would be right to go through another person's stuff, I thought that it would be wrong." Eiko told her as they both went up to Ikkime's room

." I don't think you would want to hear completely about some of the things I've been through or see Ikkime, it's haunting." Eiko warned the yokai as she rubbed her eyes with her left hand, then gazed at her right hand, then felt her stomach with the same hand." Really haunting." she continued

The petite woman unlocked the door for Ikkime and held it open for the yokai feeling that she would feel more comfordable going first into her room, since it was her room really.

"Ah it's fine, all i have is my provactive underwear and bras, but those are well tucked away" she said jokingly and walked through the door, into her [url=http://i24.beon.ru/55/8/2580855/57/98395257/0c5329f97a3d.jpeg]room[/color] tapping on the wall, the room almost seemed to stir and come to life, crystals in the wall began to light "You aren't the only one here with some scary encounters Ms.Eiko, for instance" she lifted her shirt and showed her stomach, showing dozen of scars and then an enormus X going from her left side, to the other, with her belly button in the middle.

"I was...maybe 100 when i got this? I ran into a youkai about the size of this building, she was the first to ever show me just have naive I can be, I'm not asking you to open yourself, but you shouldn't be afraid with us, we've all had hard times and it's the stories that make us chasers" she let her shirt down and looked around "sorry about the mess by the way, I was doing a bit of...studying last night" she picked up books, sliding them onto shelves.

The rest of her room was filled with hundreds of things, some glowing, some shaking "So what clothes?"

Eiko gazed around the room looking at everything in the room she noticed it rememinding her of her own room in a way, but if it had a lot of fansty items and crystals around the room, she didn't get what Ikkime ment about bras being tucked away and was about to aske about it but she just stopped herself.

She closed the door behind them and listened to Ikkime while gazing at her stomach scar, when Ikkime was finished Eiko took off her apron and slowly removed the costume, she placed the costume on Ikkime's bed, along her back she had many scars, but Eiko was gonna show Ikkime a scar that was different from the others.

The petite woman pointed to her lower abdomen where there was a thin stitch like scar going from one hip to the other." I got this after watching my father die, I was pregnate with a child, when I was 16, I gonna tell my dad, but he protected me and died in the process. I got this from a doctor who said they accidently killed my child, they told me this months after I awoken from my coma. and the news of it made me break down and cry for once in months." Eiko shared with the yokai.

Eiko then tried to change the subject." The doctor that accidently killed my child suffered for what she did though, but before I could take her out she cut me open a second time and...Tied me up on the inside...In the end I made sure that hell burned a lot less hotter for her." Eiko shared even more." I just need some underwear really, I don't want to take too much really."

Ikkime stayed silent to the girl and listened to her story, once she finished she patted the girls shoulder "And i am truly sorry for your loss Eiko, I'd like to believe loss in ones life makes them stronger and you most likely are from that" she let go and she waved for Eiko to walk past the wall of books and into her closet.

Turning on the light, she waited for Eiko to follow, before talking "Trust me, you wont be taking much, I'm not to sure if I have any bras since we differ in size, but underwear im sure will fit you, take whatever you like, I'll be by my desk, till then, the door to the left is my shower, so feel free to take one as well, towels are on the left" she flashed a smile, before sitting at her chair and rolling across the floor to her stack of papers again looking for the list.

The petite woman stayed silent not wanting to speak, she just followed behind of Ikkime into her closet, she looked around for underwear and found a pair of boyshorts, she collected them along with some black slacks and white button up shirt, she put the clothes outside of the shower before she went in.

When Eiko got into the shower and let the warm water hit her it felt comfordable, like days of pain and suffering were just washing away, she used some of Ikkime's soap to clean her self up and when she was finished she toweled herself off. Before Ikkime could sift fully though the stack of papers she had on her desk, Eiko had gotten dressed and silently appeared behind of Ikkime and touched her shoulder." The list is there." Eiko pointed to a list of various objects that she hoped was what Ikkime was looking for.

Ikkime jumped and papers fell "Ho shit! God damn crazy ass ninja, my guard is down when were in the cafe..." she sighed and looked at what the girl was pointing at a list. Picking it up, she raised her fists in triumph "Fuck yeah, thank you! Now back to the store, Lucille is probably freaking out as we speak" she said jokingly as she walked towards the door "Um just lock the door behind you and stuff, I'll wait for you if you need to do anything else" she walked out the door and waited in the hall way, just in case the girl wanted to do anything else.

Eiko locked the door behind the two and doubled checked it by trying to twist the knob only for it to resist opening, she began walking down the stairs and pocketed the key to Ikkime's room.

Ikkime followed her down the stairs and went to the counter making sure she didn't leave anything. She stretched and went over to Eiko before leaving.

"Well Ms.Eiko, hold down the fort, I'll be back shortly" she winked and patted the girls shoulder again "Say, next time, instead of talking with our mouthes, I say we put them to better use" she joked, and winked.

Walking towards the door, she began to open it, then her eyes flashed purple "wait...is he her-?" she realized it to late. A hand was sent through the door with blue electricity surronding it. Clutching Ikkime's throatoat, shocks were sent all over her body, making scream in pain, before being pulled through the door and held up.

Mizura stood, his eyes glowing blue "Hello again, my dear little sister, Oh how!-" he slammed her into the ground and picked her back up "I've!-" slamming her into the concrete, making a crater and picking her dazed and beaten body again "missed you..." he threw her body through the broken door and she flew into the back wall, making another crater and falling.

She landed on her stomach and weakly looked up at Eiko, struggling to get up "Eos, start the Distress Alarm system and get Rikka out of here..." she got up and used the table help herself up. She spit up blood and wiped her mouth as her wounds began to heal.

---

Eos was shocked when Ikkime was sent back into the café, flying through the doors and smashing against the wall. The first thing she did was hiding Rikka in the kitchen and telling the ghost girl to not come out until she or one of the other girls called her.

Then, Eos ran to Ikkime's side and tried her help get back to her feet "Ikki-san! What happened? Are you hurt somewhere?" At the same time, her usual dress vanished and was replaced by her combat attire, anime character-looking security cameras that usually lay still at the café's wall detached themselves and flew to e-OS's side waiting for her command. Along with it, e-OS activated the café distress signal, so that the other chasers, would know that they are under attack, however it would take them a time to arrive back here, until then it was up for the three of them (Ikkime, e-OS and Eiko) to defend the place.

e-OS looked outside the café using one of her drones and saw that the place was besieged by an army of enemies, though they looked like nothing but cannon fodder, except for the two that were leading them. She turned to look the man who apparently had attacked Ikkime and said "I don't know who you are or what you're doing here, but this is our home and these are my family that you've attacked. I'll give you all one chance of going back, since you haven't made any irreversible damage yet. Takeit, or else..." e-OS finished her statement by summoning a dozen more drones that hovered in the air, ready for attacking.

After hearing Ikkime suggest using their mouths for something else Eiko felt a little naive about about what she ment and said." I'm not the one for sweets, my mother never really allowed me to eat any before." Eiko told her still not understanding what she ment.

The second Ikkime began leaving the cafe she was soon grabbed by some guy and chucked back into the the cafe, she slammed into the wall and hit the floor face first, Eiko fliped over the cafe's counter and checked on Ikkime as Eos put the ghost girl in the kitchen.

Eiko kneeled down to Ikkime's level saying." I don't think this is what Shiina means for people to come back soon." Eiko said to the beat up yokai. When Eos came back and started to ask Ikkime questions and her dress disappated during her questioning, suddenly the cameras began to rip from the walls and Eiko ducked before one could slam into her head.

While drones began to surround and fill the cafe Eiko felt like Eos had the situation handled, but before things could go back to being good, Drones began to explode one by one abruptly, followed with the sounds of loud almost ear piercing shots that sounded like a giant sniper rifle being fired from across the street.

Suddenly one of the cameras that Eos had on her shoulder exploded from a sniper shot, and unlike a tradtional sniper, the shooter was moving towards the cafe, they were literally across the street on the sidewalk with a bigass sniper. The shooter was a white hairedWoman in a battle suit.

She aimed her next shot at Eiko, but Eiko kicked Eos to the ground before dropping to the floor as a round was fired off, the sniper's bullet grazed the side of Eiko's face as she tried to dodge the bullet. The woman sighed feeling annoyed, she put the rifle onto her back and approached the cafe, she walked up next to Mizura seeing everyone else."Aww, what's wrong sweetie ? No more drones ?" The woman asked Eos.

Eiko looked over the machine as she laid on the floor." This a friend of yours Eos ?"

As the assault began, e-OS was momentarily surprised when her drones were destroyed in rapid sucession, until Eiko kicked her out of the path of some bullets and asked if she knew anything about their attackers.

"I don't know who they are, Eiko-san, but we'll have to protect the café untill Onee-sama and he other comes back." The android then turned to the unknown woman "I don't know who you're but stay away from here, or..."

After that, e-OS summoned another array of drones and said "Command: Shooting Star!" with that the drones assumed a flying pattern like a five pointed star and shot a warning shot, with their plasma lasers.

"Next time I won't miss!" Came the robot girl, last warning.

The woman smiled seeing that more drones arrived to the area, but she didn't take kindly to e-OS' warning shot." Now, sweetie, your only slowing down my job, and your so call creators said I don't have to bring you back with all of your drones or limbs, but I just do enjoy the bullet fodder you keep throwing my way." The woman told Eos

She pulled out two pistols and fired at all of the drones, and as they began to retaliate, the woman dodged the drone's attacks hopping from the counter, to the floor, and to some of the cafe's tables.

As she dodged she fired off dozens of bullets from the pistols reletenlessly makinng the drones explode one by one as they crashed into the floor below, the woman then shot more of the security camera drones that were Eos's body making them explode as well." Don't you see it ? I know you, and everything you do, everything you think, you can't even do something without me knowing the reaction of it." The woman explained.

"You're destroying our home! Please stop!" e-OS shouted an uncharcteristic rage was staring to well in her chest. She summoned more drones and had them fire in a tight pattern that would be much harder to dodge than the previous one.

Eiko pulled her knife out the back of her pants slowly with her right hand as the two spoke." This little piece of shit diner hangout was where you were hiding ?, it doesn't even deserve the presence I give this place. But it does deserve to be burned to the ground like most of the other weird crap in this country."

As more drones appeared The woman felt happier to have something to shoot at." Aww, all of these for little old me ?" she droped the two magizines in her pistols and reloaded." Well I can say that I brought you back kicking and screaming like some child throwing toys at me."

In almost a blur and almost simliar to Shiina, the woman fired at all of the drones taking them out one by one while appearing as just a blur to all of them, as the last drone began to fall the assassin spoke.

" Didn't you hear me ? I know all your little holding patterns and drone's weak spots, nothing you do can stop me." She said as the last drone exploded in front of her and Eiko.

" What about me ?!" Eiko yelled throwing her knife at the woman, instead of dodging the blade the woman blocked it with one of her arms and the blade went completely through her forearm, and suddenly sparks started to come from the wound instead of blood.

" What the ?" Eiko seemed flummoxed by the woman's cyborg limb.

" Well it looks like a challanger appears, but are you good enough to take me on ?" The woman pulled the knife out of her arm and threw it at E-os hoping to hit her, but Eiko caught it with her right hand revealing her robotic arm.

" Ahh, so we're not so different you and I. But sadly for you challanger, I have all my limbs replaced unlike your solo limb."

Eiko spun her knife around in her right hand for stabbing and rushed the woman who turned into a blur in a mere instant and kicked Kick in her chest throwing the petite woman into the air, then the mechincally limbed woman punched Eiko into the ground almost shattering the floor under Eiko.

Everything happened in just a blur, and before e-OS knew why, Eiko was splattered in the floor, with the mysterious woman pressing her with a foot, taking a sadistic glee in the smallish cyborg's pain.

"Eiko-san!" e-OS shouted sounidng quite enraged, "Get away from her!" She then summoned more drones and shot the woman with a cross patern, that should be impossible to dodge at such a close range.

" Eos ! don't just sit there ! If you want to protect the cafe then do it ! " Eiko yelled in pain, she punched the woman in the face a couple times with her right hand, but her hits did next to no damage to the cyborg woman, soon the woman picked Eiko up by her neck and held her up in the air, she slowly began to strangle Eiko.

When the woman saw the cross pattern, she used Eiko as a shield to the blast from the drone and put away her pistol, she pulled out a small rifle with the buttstock removed and with twin drum ammo magazines, she aimed at all of the drones with one hand and fired the weapon.

Each bullet fired instantly destroyed the drone, and the weapon was fired with accuracy unlike any other, it was oddly very accurate for a weapon that looked like it would be hard to control. When she was finished with the new batch of drones." Aww, that last wave almost threw me over the edge, send ano-" Before she could finish Eiko put her right hand over the woman's face.

Before the woman could react Eiko shocked her face and head with her right arm. The woman dropped the weird weapon onto the floor and dropped to her knees, and let go of Eiko's neck, Eiko turned to Eos and glared at her, the back of her shirt was burned from the lasers that were shot from the drones and showed her bare back.

"I said to let Eiko-san go!" e-OS shouted enraged as she summoned a large group of drones inside the café and another one above it. The ones inside shot a net of lasers that would force the woman to dodge in a specific pattern only to be hit by a concentrated fire of the one's who hovered outside. "I'll kill you if you don't hear me!" the android girl shouted as tears of rage began to streak down her face.

The cyborg woman got back to her feet as Eiko hopped back over the counter with the woman's weapon, the cyborg woman back flipped out of the cafe and into the street out of the way of fire of the drones, and since she didn't have a shield to cover herself from the laser storm inside.

---

Ikkime had been blown back into the back, as the other two started fighting the unknown new enemy.

"Ikkime...Ikkime...IKKIME!" she was woken up in her mind, the area completely white, and she in the middle. An enormous fox sat looking at her, watching her, it's purple eyes glaring at her. "Hello again little one..." Ikkime wasn't able to talk, only enough energy to sit on her knees. "It seem's Mizura and Chihiro came back, do you think you can beat them without me?" the fox watched Ikkime in interest. It stood up and walked towards Ikkime "You know the answer, and you know once I return, I wont be leaving again, so what are you going to do? Let your fear kill your friends, or you gonna run with the big dogs?!" the fox growled and lunged towards her. Ikkime stood suddenly and grabbed the foxes snout and slammed her to the ground. Letting go, Ikkime stood over the fox, her eyes watching the glowing purple that the fox had. The fox cowered and raised it's head, waiting for Ikkime to reseal the bond that the two had severed so long ago. Putting her hand on the foxes snout, the room became purple.

"Lets do this..."

A strange purple glow game from out behind the curtain that was blocking off the main cafe and the back cafe. A deafening howl came from the back, and Mizura stood at the top of building across the way watching the the two fight his new...group member. Chihiro, his wolf, appeared "They're finally here..." the wolf looked at Mizura.

"I know..." putting his hand on the wolves head, his eye's glowed blue and he gritted his teeth "The Fox and the bitch came out to play again..."

The mysterious woman jumped out of the café just as e-OS unleashed a barrage of plasma lasers that that covered every inch of the store with beams of concentrated energy before finishing the assault with an overhead blast that punched a hole through the roof. It was only after she almost blew the whole store apart that she stopped.

After that she collapsed, the last thing that she saw was a strange purple glow coming out of the back of the store, where Ikkime was.

You should watch this while reading the fight!

Mizura jumped down and ignored Eiko "My fight is not with you, this one is mine, i've been waiting decades for this..." he spoke to his new partner and he could feel Ikkime moving inside. The smoke began clearing, until suddenly, a fox like being had lunged forward through the smoke towards Mizura. He caught the steadly approaching clawed purple paw/hand and pulled her forward even further. Using his other hand, it started glowing blue and then was completely ingulfed in matching aura like looks. Slamming his fist in Ikkime's back, it almost looked like she was struck with lightning and thunder quickly sounded after his hit. Kicking the purple being, he grinned "You're rusty, for someone that almost killed me, you have sure lost your tou-" Ikkime appeared behind him, kicking him in the side, and sending him across into the Cafe outside wall.

Mizura landed feet first, and pushed off, leaving behind yet another crater. He barrelled towards Ikkime, tackling her and sending both of them into the ajacent building. Rolling away, Mizura raised his hand and sent a dozen lightning bolts at her. As the dust began to clear, Ikkime was no longer there. Mizura looked around, closing his eyes, he heard her movement around him but couldn't find her. Opening his eye's he turned to the light outside, only to see a car being sent towards him. Forming a katana, he not only sliced the car in half, but the ceiling and floor. Ikkime used the car as a diversion and followed quickly behind the thrown car, Mizura not realizing and seeing her to slow to react. She grabbed his face, putting him under her feet, and slid on his body. Picking him up with her tails, she threw him up, through the concrete ceiling on the business building into cubicals.

Mizura rolled to the side and jumped up, running, as purple tails began slamming up through the floor. Mizura ran towards the window, smashing through it and jumping out, he turned and raised one of his hands, his eyes now intensly glowing. The instantly turned black and blue, a flash happened, then suddenly a HUGE blue beam rained down on the building. He rolled to a landing and stood waiting for Ikkime's next attack. From within the now collapsed building, seven giant tenticle like things emerged from the rubble, waving like snakes. They all started towards Mizura, who formed another lightning blade, he began to parry left and right as they swung at him. Using more power, he elongated the blade and handle, and quickly sliced one in half.

A Roar came form within the rubble and Ikkime appeared suddenly in the air above Mizura. He stood at a swordsmen stance as Ikkime latched the tenticles to the ground and sent herself towards Mizura. As she was sent at blinding speeds towards him, a kick being sent towards his chest. Mizura slashed upwards, his blade cutting a building behind Ikkime in half and exploded it as it traveled up towards Ikkime. She used one her tails to block the blade from touching her and succesfully made a connecting kick to his chest. Kicking him into the ground and causing a huge creator. Ikkime stood over him, punching him in the face a dozen times before stopping and she lifted her head "RA-!" an engulfed blue hand grabbed her, by her throat.

New Battle theme!

Mizura rose up as the top half of his rob was ripped off, Ikkime's throat in his hand. Cuts on his face began to heal and he looked calmly at the little fox being in his hands. Ikkime struggled as Mizura began squeezing and she started to send her tails towards him, but Mizura took his other hand and brutuallly punched Ikkime in the stomach, an electric discharge going off out the back of Ikkime. Throwing her up in the air with ease, it seemed he moved to fast for the naked eye to see and opened one hand forming another light Katana. Ikkime quickly approached him and he moved his blade downward, it suddenly hitting the ground next to Eiko who was a ways away and made a cut through the road until it connected with Ikkime. He moved the blade down slightly and she was sent flying down into the ground. Appearing right next to where she was going to land, he waited until her body hit the road and bounced up, before taking both fist now engulfed in blue and slamming them into Ikkime's stomach, making the girl cough up even more blood.

The purplefox being laid broken, but Mizura picked up Ikkime by her face, pulling her closer "I want you to feel the pain you made me feel when you killed father" he sent off a charge and it shocked Ikkime painfully "I want you to burn like you made mother" he sent off another charge this one even more powerful "I want you to be scarred like you left me..." he threw her upwards and raised his left hand. Blue wolf ears appeared above his head and his eyes seemed to almost radiate a blinding blue. The sky around Ikkime cleared and showed orange in a hole of the clouds. He moved his hand down slowly and jumped back, the very sound of the world almost seemed to stop for four whole seconds as Ikkime stared off into the beautiful oranage sky. Then as soon as the beauty came, another huge beam of blue engulfed Ikkime's body and hit the ground, thunder shook the ground intensely and the beam disappated.

"Stop!"

It took some time for Lucille to get herself over to the action but she had finally managed. When the first attack was dropped she had taken cover along with the others. After all, it wasn't too hard to convince Mister Mori to follow her. Only when the fighting was clear did she dare to venture outside, drawn by the sounds of battle.

Now here she stood, seemingly unaffected by Mizura's light blinding attack as she stood defiantly in her maid uniform. She held her parasol in trembling hands, red eyes flicking to Ikkime's broken form and then to Mizura. And yet even as she did so, a fraction of something more reflected in her eyes towards the man. Something ancient and unspeakably horrid.

"P-Please, that's enough! Leave Ikkime-san alone or I'll...I'll....I'll do something horrible with my parasol!"

Mizura looked back at the girl "I've done what i've waited for for hundreds of years, killing her will only give her satisfaction..." and turned, jumping into the air and disappearing in a blue flash.

When Mizura disappeared, Lucille felt the strength leaving her body, as a wave of relief surged through her body, and dropped to the ground on her knees What in the world is happening here?" She asked gazing empty eyed at the scenery of desolation around her.

---

The world seemed to stop for a moment as lightining and thunder rained down from the skies, everyone was blinded and deafened momentarily by the blast, except for two persons.

Rikka came runing out of kitchen scared by the sounds of the fight and the destruction that was happening around her. When she saw Eos on the ground she ran to the android's side and tried to wake her up while small tears appeared in her tiny eyes. She looked around to see if there was someone to help Eos, but the only other people moving was the mysteroious woman, who was ready for the mighty flashbang way before the fight started.

The woman approached the two and kicked the little girl into the wall." This place was a shit hole anyways, now it just fits the description even better, I almost wish to see the look on those motherfucker's faces when they come back to their wrecked home." The woman gently lifted Eos off of the ground in both her hands and walked out of the cafe, she set the robot girl down before she returned inside with a lighter.

The woman threw the lighter to the floor and everything began to burn inside the front of the cafe, the woman picked Eos back up and jumped to one of the roof tops and disappearing from sight as the inferno built up inside of the cafe's small walls, and the air grew heavy, smoke plumes began to fill the air and filled the sky with a dark greyish color, only Shiina could feel that the cafe was in trouble, but deep down she hoped it was just the rivals across the street buildng.

The sound of breathing was stifled by the sharp thud of a knife hitting its mark, followed by the short gurgling of blood. It lasted no more than a heartbeat, evoking the cold efficiency of the knife’s owner. Shiina and her partner stood in the middle of a group of Yellow Jacket members. Or rather, former Yellow Jacket members. They weren’t the group they were looking for but they hadn’t exactly hid themselves either.

The vampire glanced around at the lifeless bodies, red eyes shining behind the crimson scarf that covered her face. There she was being a ninja again, though the only thing that made her appear so was her movements and the scarf. She turned away from the Youkai that were lower than trash to report back to Yamato.

Nothing of real value or interest had been discovered on this night so far and Harker remained as elusive as ever. Perhaps he wasn’t even residing in the country but working far from the shores of Japan? Who could say for sure? For now they had more area to cover for the night was young.

“There's nothing here,” she told Yamato, hands on her hip. “Just more Yellow Jacket degenerates. We’re not due back for at least a few more hours so let’s scout out a some more locations-”

The vampire’s pupils narrowed into slits and she whirled her head around towards the direction of the Dangeki Cosplay Café . She stiffened suddenly as something passed through her. Yamato would not feel it for the Café was not bound in his blood. But for Shiina, it was the one of the worst feelings imaginable.

“Come,” was all she said to him before speeding off in a flash towards their headquarters. At the pace she was going, it didn’t take long for her to reach the burning remains of her home. She stopped to catch a brief glimpse of the roaring flames, making sure the fire could not spread, before speeding off into the burning building.

She located Amiti and Mister Mori close together as usual. She hoisted both of them up first and dashed out before returning to find Rikka flattened against a wall. She lifted her too, speeding out in mere heartbeats before the Dangeki gave out a loud groan before collapsing in on itself. For now the fire was dormant and everyone was safe.

Even so, the fire also served as a literal metaphor for how Shiina was feeling at the moment. Her eyes did not revert back to their blue hue, instead remaining firm in their crimson pupils, rage reflected in her gaze. The vampire turned to spot a downed Eiko before crouching next to her in mere moments. She gently lifted the girl up before moving the scarf downwards and away from her concealed face.

“Mistress Eiko. Who did this? And where’s Eos-san?”

Her voice was like ice and her eyes held a killing intent that threatened to overwhelm the younglings, Amiti and Rikka. Her silent anger was not directed at Eiko but it was obvious she wanted some answers soon.

Farther away, another pair of red eyes studied the scene carefully. Much like the perfect and elegant maid, these pair of eyes too held dark rage but not because the Café had been destroyed. The girl with the black parasol narrowed her eyes before turning her head to the no doubt unconscious Ikkime. For just this moment she could express how annoyed she was and ponder just what kind of punishment she would give to those fickle-minded idiots.

For now though….

“I-Ikkime-san? Ikkime-san! Please wake up! Y-You can’t be dead…I know that’s not enough to kill you Ikkime-san so please wake up!”

Lucille crouched near the fox Youkai, body trembling as tears threatened to overtake her vision.

Yamato nodded to Shiina's words, and followed her back to the cafe; he trusted her supernatural senses to have discovered something, but what she did discover was something far worse than he could have ever imagined. His eyes opened wide at the sight of the once-beautiful building crashing down like a house of cards, the glow of its fire painting the night a sickly yellow. It also came to his knowledge that Eos was missing, and Yamato feared the worst. He held his cursed arm as it trembled before him, his eyes filled with fury.
"By the 108 Unspeakable Names, I will have my vengeance upon those who desecrated this holy place! Awaken, San-D!" One of his hamsters jumped out of his arm and turned back into Star-Destroyer Grey Fox San-D, her teeth bared and growling at the terrible sight.
"Find the scent of the Electric Princess, so we may track down her kidnappers and exact our burning wrath upon them!"

While San-D got to work sniffing around the crime scene and searching for something that belonged to Eos, like a piece of her costume, Yamato surveyed the surroundings with his Evil Eye. He wanted to find something, anything that could be a lead to the monsters who would destroy their Chaser's base of operations. It was then that he spotted Lucille, the girl who spent time with Eiko back at the cafe. He ran towards her and confronted the woman, only to find Ikkime lying there as well.

"Why did you seek to hide yourself from my all-seeing gaze? And why do you have the Aura Fiend at your feet? If you know what happened here, then you will share that knowledge with me, or else you will force me, Beastmaster Overlord Yamato Ikusaba, to take an approach less befitting of a gentleman."

Eiko managed to climb out of the fire when Shiina saved the other two along with the ghost girl, the petite woman first made contact with the hard side walk climbing out of a window, the second she got to her feet and rub her neck, Shiina asked her a million dollar question, the people who did this and possibly why they done it "Let me get my second wind and I'll tell you" She told Shiina.

Eiko put her back to the neighboring building's wall and exhaled." Where to begin ? It first started when some guy threw Ikkime through the front doors, when our fighting robot started to retaliate and summon drones this woman across the street began shooting at us and shot down the drones, then the guy kicked Ikkime's ass, I was almost strangled to death and Eos shot me several times in the back trying to hit the woman that robonapped her. You probably can get more from Ikkime about the guy though" She tried to summarize it as best she could."Now if you don't mind I gotta go back and get some things."

Eiko stretched before diving back into the cafe, she grabbed the weird weapon the woman was wielding before then managed to get her blue coat, she dove back out through a window wearing her navy blue duffle coat from before and had the weird machine gun in her hands." Does this look familiar to you Boss ? "She Asked Shiina holding the gun out handle first to Shiina." Also please don't call me mistress. "

@TheWindel@Ariamis

Lucille looked up at Yamato’s imposing form, fear written across her expression. She crouched closer to Ikkime’s unconscious form and trembled violently. Words fumbled across her tongue as she tried to meet the man with a steady gaze for fear that he would follow up with his threat.

“A-All-Seeing Eye? What’s that? I don’t know what you’re talking about Mister but Ikkime-san needs our help right now. Please, you have to help me carry her back to the café! Or what’s left of it…they came out of nowhere. A woman with a gun and a man with a wolf…oh god, they took the girl! The one with the guitar!”

As Lucille was promptly having her panic attack, Shiina remained calm as she made a quick glancing check over everyone present. Someone had to be the voice of reason in this crisis. She directed a red-eyed look to Yamato.

“Master Yamato, perhaps you should continue your interrogation after she’s calmed down. It doesn’t look like you’re helping,” she said before turning to Eiko now.

The vampire listened intently, eyes narrowing all the more as the story of what happened was recounted. Eos was kidnapped then, taken away no doubt by Harker’s men. Was this the catastrophe that Chikage warned them all about?

“I’m sorry, I don’t recognize the weapon young Mis-…Eiko-san. However, it’s not exactly something that warrants use against my café. It looks military graded and was likely intended to kill off the directed target without struggle. Of course, that’s just my deduction.”

"I knew it!" Yamato responded to Lucille's words, and stomped the ground. "Those hellish heathens will pay for their sins!" Shiina then advised him with his handling of the eyewitness, and Yamato calmed down. "Your words ring true like the bell of a cathedral, Shiina." The eccentric man came down one one knee and gently took hold of Lucille's hand. "Forgive me, my lady. I was consumed by hatred, and did not realize your sorrow. Your tears pierce me like the Lance of Longinus, so much suffering do they cause in my black heart." After he helped her up, Yamato turned to the others, who seemed to discover some kind of gun from the scene of the fire. Yamato tok a look with his Evil Eye.

"That weapon holds a barrel of infinity in itself; whether it is an abomination of technology or a marvel of sorcery, even I cannot tell. But there is no doubt that the one who wielded that was part of the grotesque group we have confronted previously. The Electric Princess slips from our grasp..." Yamato grabbed the air in front of him in dramatic fashion. Then he heard San-D bark, and rushed to his trusted companion's side. The fox has successfully got Eos' scent through the melted remains of her shampoo, and had her fore-paw raised as a sign of getting ready to track Eos.

"HAHAA! The Astral Road has been opened before us, ladies! Come, Cham-P! Awaken, and reveal your absolute might to this mortal world! Let them tremble at their impending doom!" A large hamster squaked and leapt off Yamato's shoulder, and in a resulting flash, almost filled the entire street.
Invading Black Dragon Cham-P's head swiveled over the surrounding buildings, it's giant leathery wings folded to fit while he stood on the street. His black scales glistened as they rubbed on each other like tiny stones of onyx. He stretched his neck upwards and bellowed out a glorious roar, releasing a blast of green fire high into the sky. Yamato hopped on the dragon's back, and beckoned for the others while holding out a hand for them. "Let us hunt together, for our prey will be waiting for us, and not a single soul should stand against them alone!"

After anyone who wanted to hitch a ride on Cham-P got on, the giant dragon unfolded its wings and leapt into the air, ascending above the city like a king among beasts. Yamato directed his flight, his Evil Eye following Star-Destroyer San-D as it ran through the city at a swift pace. Yamato braced himself for what he would find once they got there as he had a flashback of his nightmare, and Orihime. No matter what would happen, Yamato would not let history repeat itself. That much he was in debt to her.

Eiko looked at the weapon and examined it closely, she tried to remove the magazine but it was like someone super glued it, even with her right hand she couldn't pull the mag out, when Yamato commented on the weapon Eiko tossed the weapon into the air and aimed the barrel at him, but didn't intend to shoot him." Then what do you call your hamsters that hide in your scarf ? " She asked in her usual emotionless tone. Eiko walked over to Lucille and put one of Ikkime's arms over her shoulder.

" You two go get Eos, I'll help Lucille revive Ikkime, Shiina, your friend from the music store could really help right now, or if we could we should get her to a hospital or something." Eiko suggested after giving the two orders in a way, she then looked over to Lucille feeling distrustful of the woman. Eiko put the gun into her coat held Ikkime's arm holding her up.

Mister Mori made sure that he covered Amiti's body with his own as the fight unfolded in the cafe. He didn't even look around himself, all he cared was for Amiti's safety. He didn't even see the building collapsing on top of them.
Shortly after the cafe collapsed on top of them Shiina excavated them and took them to a safer place. Looking around, Mister Mori could sense that death was approaching the area. He knew that he should leave soon, he had seen death doing its rounds once, and he did not want to see it again. Looking down to see that Amiti was not conscious, he knew what was going to happen next. NOt wanting to be a part of it, mostly because of his age, Mister Mori offered to take Amiti and Rikka to his home. Even if he was a perv, Mister Mori had a deep affection for Amiti and he knew how to take care of kids.
Looking for his car, Mister Mori quickly became flustered when he couldn't find it. "What happened to my car!?" Mori was furious now and he too felt the need for revenge, but the other side of him retained control, and after collecting Rikka, he along with the 2 kids, began the slow walk home. It was going to be a bad day today.

“U-Uh, there’s no need to apologize,” Lucille stuttered with a slight blush to Yamato’s actions. “You were only concerned about your friends. And even though I don’t know you that much, I understand that you care for Ikkime-san just as much as I do. Even if I barely know her too…she saved my life.”

The girl with the parasol smiled, giving Yamato a look of determination before watching him leave to discuss other matters. Such matters included the context of the mystery weapon left behind, to which Shiina raised an eye to. Now that was interesting, albeit unnerving to think their enemies were in possession of such a destructive tool.

The vampire nodded once, slipping her scarf up to her mouth and donning her ninja appearance. She then leapt up onto the massive black dragon and stood tall with arms crossed. It would seem that it would just be her and Yamato again. That was probably a good thing since the two were currently the most powerful Chasers available at the moment. However, it didn’t bode well with their numbers.

“Master Yamato. I know you want to avenge our comrades. Believe me, I want the same,” Shiina told him, placing a grip on his shoulder. “But the reality is that there are only two of us. If the situation calls for us to retreat, we will. We’re no use to the others dead. Now then, shall we get going?”

The vampire turned away to look down on the remainder of her café and fellow Chasers. They had suffered a blow, yes, but they would recover and they would get Eos back.

“I’m afraid she’s rather elusive when it comes to this sort of thing,” Shiina called out to Eiko’s suggestion. “Only commit to that option if Mister Mori can’t find a way to his house. And I expect you to keep those children safe Po,” she added to Mori before they took off into the sky.

Helping Eiko carry Ikkime, Lucille watched Mori take away both Amiti and Rikka before turning to look at Eiko. As much as she wanted to be safe with them, they had to get Ikkime some help.

“Let’s bring her to the hospital while they get to safety.”

Eiko took up most of Ikkime's weight and nodded saying." Okay, we shouldn't stick around here too long the fire department should be coming around here sometime soon." Eiko said before letting Lucille take the lead, she didn't know her way around this world and if she was to lead she'd probably just get them lost somewhere. Eiko looked around around them, then looked up to the roof tops to make sure that nobody or those guys from earlier wouldn't jump them and take them out or kidnap them along with Eos. " I'm starting to think it would've been better if they took all of us, then in that way we at least could have broken out of where they have our friend or we could have tried to gain contact with the others." Suddenly Eiko had an idea." I wonder if Eos could contact us remotely, like a cell phone can, and try to tell us where she is." Eiko thought aloud.

It didn't took much time once Yamato and Shiina set flight on the back of the majestic Invading Black Dragon Cham-P, for they to get in sight range from the building where their enemies seemed to have taken Eos to.



However, before they could get there, the mighty dragon, made a sharp turned and barrel rolled, out of the way of a blast of of energy that would surely take him out of the air it it had connect.

When they looked for the source of the blast, the saw no one other than Tokisada Orihime standing atop the might skyscraper. At her side there was another Doll, this one possessed an enormous cannon in place of one of her arms and black barbed sword on her other hand, purple fire flickered over the Doll's eye as it aimed her cannon and unleashed another blast.



Even if Invading Black Dragon Cham-P tried to dodge this blast it wouldn't be able to as the gigantic mass of energy broke away mid-flight, like a shotgun blast, carpet bombing them and forcing they to land on one of the other buildings.

At the same time, a man walked in the roof top of yet another building and addressed them "I'd like to say that it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Mistress Shiina Gamai and Miss Yamato Ikusaba, but you seem to want to interfered at YTC's business and that's something that I can not allow. Take another step forward at your own peril."



At the same time Orihime's Doll began to charge another blast, her target was only one "Yamato Ikusaba, you'll feel the same pain as I did." The young Pupeteer whispered.

@TheWindel@Ariamis

The concrete cracked on the rooftop when the dragon made its landing, rubble flying in all directions by the impact the beast's mass made. Cham-P roared at Insanity and his claws teared the edge of the building as he perched on it like a predator about to pounce on its prey. But with one motion of his hand, Yamato kept control of the beast. The dragon then snarled and growled at the attackers, his nostrils smoking up with green smoke. San-D ran up the building and to the side of the dragon, her head lowered and sniffing, the fur on her back raised up. Yamato knew that even with the two of them, they would need to be cautious against these people, and saving Eos was their top priority. With a plan formed in his mind, Yamato knelt down and spoke in a lower tone behind him, his eyes locked on Orihime.
"Shiina, take San-D and go. San-D, obey Shiina's every command, and lead her to Eos. I will hold their attention, so take the chance and rescue the Electric Princess."

He then stood up, and leered at the man who would openly call him a woman. Whether he was attempting a mockery of his appearance or was simply of inferior intelligence was not his concern. "You are Edward Harker, I presume? The man who would go as far as destroy a restaurant and kidnap one of it's employees just to spite me? I'll have you know I am more of a man than you will ever be, and you will pay for what you have done." Yamato held one of his arms forward and struck a pose. One of his hamsters crawled out of his hamster and traveled to the balled hand he held. San-D nudged Shiina with her snout, giving the message that the two of them should already be leaving her master.

"Thus has an oath of destiny been sworn by me, Beastmaster Overlod Yamato Ikusaba. And it will be a name you will whisper in fear! Awaken, Maga-Z, and pierce the heavens with your tusks!" Yamato then spun around, and threw the hamster in a fastball maneuver. The little creature reached the side of the opposing rooftop Harker was on, and transformed into Steel Red Elephant Maga-Z, a colossal creature of deific strength and impenetrable hide. The creature slammed through the building and destroyed it like it was made of paper cards. It crumbled down just as Orihime's Doll was finished charging, forcing him to relocate and interrupting Orihime's attack for a moment due to the surprise of seeing an almost building-sized monster suddenly appear, and Yamato pressed the advantage.

"Charge, Champ-P! Your teeth are swords, your claws are spears, and your wings are a hurricane! FOR FREEDOM!" Cham-P roared, and with a mighty sweep of his wings, hopped off the rooftop and on top of Orihime and her Doll, attempting to crush them with his mass and slash them with his steel-rending talons.

(It's not much but it's something.)

Eiko with the help of the help of the Yokai Lucille began to drag Ikkime away from the burning cafe, as they moved with each step she could smell the smoke from the burning cafe get a little less thick with each step they took and oddly when they get far enough away, the fire trucks start to arrive and put the fire out along with an ambulance that rides right by them."Well I can see this world's emergency services are late to emergencies." Eiko pointed out.

The petite woman felt a burning pain in her back from the lasers and groaned in pain as she kept Ikkime up."I hope the hospital isn't too far, those lasers really hurt my back, I could have used my bodysuit right now, but it's probably just pieces of metal and wiring right now from the fire." Eiko said aloud, she looked over to Lucille and wondered where the woman came from besides the fact that nearly everyone just seemed to know each other or had a friend that knew a friend.

Shiina nodded to Yamato before gently petting San-D’s snout. Bringing her scarf up, she dashed down the black dragon’s back and leaped just as Champ-P descended down in a mass of scales and clawed fury. With the buildings being destroyed around them, Shiina’s eyes scanned the area in mere heartbeats, finding the quickest entrance into the main building.

Signaling San-D, the vampire leapt away and entered through a hole penetrated by the mighty dragon above. Now it was only a matter of time before they located Eos. Running at inhuman speeds, Shiina allowed the oversized wolf to run ahead of her just slightly while she kept to the back. Her gaze flickered intensely, ready to hurl a knife at anyone or anything that served to impede their progress.

Away from the battle and the turmoil, Lucille was working away at carrying Ikkime with Eiko to help. She too could smell the burning wreck of the café begin to settle down and the sirens of emergency forces taking care of the problem. She had a feeling that Shiina would make sure it was truly safe to work in after the public had dealt with it though.

“Are you alright…Eiko-san was it? Sorry, I’m still getting used to the dialect here,” Lucille said as the hospital came into sight. “I’ve only been here for a few hours and already things are going to hell. I just wish I could have helped out more.”

The girl’s voice trailed off and she kept silent the whole way through. She should have helped out more and because of her weakness, Ikkime was unconscious and possibly dying. The least she could do was give her the medical help she needed. Finally reaching the hospital, it wasn’t long before the nurses rushed the fox Youkai to an emergency room.

As they closed in on the hospital with Ikkime, Eiko didn't say much to Lucille."I'm fine, my back just burns from the lasers that Eos fired at me." Eiko told her as they entered the hospital and a couple of the nurses put Ikkime onto a stretcher and took her to a room, Eiko left Lucille's side and went to a bathroom, once inside she locked the door behind her and took off her coat and felt her back with her left hand she could feel dead skin on her back and a bit of pain when she touched spots where she was hit.

Eiko pulled on the backless shirt with her robotic arm and ripped the shirt that Ikkime gave her to shreds and put it into the trash can inside the bathroom."Sorry Ikkime." she spoke to herself as she put her duffle coat back on and walked back out into the lobby where Lucille was and wondered if the two would get a chance to see Ikkime soon or do anything soon.

Ikkime was rushed through the doors into the ER and they began ripping her clothes from her body. Scars riddled her body and the nurses and doctors looked at each other "With the amount of scars this girl has, it's almost as if she's been fighting for years..." they began sticking needles into her body. Putting on sensors the machine searched for a pulse but it came up flat lined. The doctor felt for a pulse on her neck and felt nothing. "Pass me the defibulators!" a nurse quickly ran out and ran back in with the machine on a cart. Rubbing the pads together, the doctor raised them above Ikkime's chest "Alright! 3,2,1 clear!" the electric discharge hit Ikkime's body.

The doctor quickly began pressing on her chest, while another doctor quickly put a mouth to mouth apparatus on her. Rubbing the pads together again, they quickly hit her again, and started the process of trying to resuscitate her. Going once more, the doctor went to hit Ikkime with it one last time, until suddenly her hands went up and grabbed his wrist, flipping him over the table and onto the floor, making the others quickly move out the way. Taking the defibulators, she pressed them to the sides of his head and effectively killed him "That...hurts..." her pupils were slitted and suddenly her aura fox ears appeared. Picking up a needle, she quickly slammed it into the heart of the clearly confused nurse up against the wall. Pressing down and blowing air into her heart, exploding it. Turning towards the remaining 4 nurses, they looked at Ikkime in sheer terror.

She smiled sinisterly and moved with insane speed in front of two of the nurses. Grabbing ones face, she squeezed and the poor nurse blood turning scream of pain quickly was filled with the sounds a bug makes when squished. Punching the other nurse that was next to him, her hand went through his chest into the wall. Pulling out, the nurse fell to the floor dead. Turning the other two nurses made a run for the door, but Ikkime raised her right hand and aura tails sprouted, snaking across the floor, they grabbed the nurses and drug them back towards Ikkime, both of them screaming. Lifting them up into the air, Ikkime slammed them both into the ground and...well lets say that it wasn't a pleasant sight. Standing with her ripped clothes in the middle of all the dead and mutilated bodies, she looked at her hands and felt a surge of blood thirst come from within her mind.

Two policemen quickly stood outside the door, using a counter for cover "Put your hands in the air, now!" the lighting of the room began to flicker, giving an ominous look to the bloody Ikkime. A shadow fell on her face and only her smile could be seen, opening her hand a purple blade began to form.

"Guess you really did need me Ikkime..." she laughed to herself and lowered, getting ready "Looks like im in control now..."

"Last warni-" suddenly the cop was impaled and it seemed Ikkime has appeared behind them, her aura sword deep in his chest. Turning to his partner, the cop was frozen with fear.

Ikkime took her finger and made a gun, pointing it at her "...Bang!" she roared with laughter as the cop fell over and she quickly walked over to the women.

"Wait!...Please I have a little gi-" Ikkime slashed the women from the shoulder diagonal and stream of blood hit Ikkime, making her seem even more evil.

More cops appeared at the end of the hall as people began running away from Ikkime. Lucille and Eiko would hear dozens of gun shots, but if they came, they would find Ikkime standing in the bloodied hallway, looking at the destruction she was causing.

Eiko’s curiosity concerning visiting Ikkime was soon answered as the fox Youkai burst out of the emergency room and into the hallways. Lucille shrieked as the demonic being began a bloodthirsty rampage, killing off anything that moved while the sound of gunfire echoed in her ears. Whimpering, Lucille crouched and brought her knees to her chest. The image of weakness would be enough to conceal her true emotions.

Well now, wasn’t this all sorts of interesting? Mizura mentioned the erratic nature of his sister’s power but this was something that piqued Lucille’s curiosity. If the others could have their fun in almost ruining her cover, then why couldn’t she? Yes, the familiar urge to maim and slaughter was already coursing through her, but she had to be wary about it….

With a groan, Lucille’s knees wobbled before she collapsed to the side and leaned onto Eiko. It seemed she had passed out from the stress of the situation, her black parasol lying lifelessly in her palm. However, her eyes suddenly shifted open to reveal something else. Something with far more intelligence and power. This new girl quickly removed herself from Eiko’s flank and stood up, clutching her parasol tightly.

“My, my, it’s been a while now…greetings Eiko. It’s good to finally meet you,” Lucille said happily, confidence flowing in her voice. “Oh that’s right! Apologies! I’m…how do I put this? I guess you could say I’m an alter ego of Lucille’s. A second personality, much like the one overtaken our friend there,” said Lucille, nodding in the direction of the gunfire.

“If it wasn’t for me, young Lucille would be dead by now. I was the one who defended her against the Inugami you know. But that’s quite enough speaking for now, yes? We have a friend to detain. Apparently this Ikkime-san means a great deal to Lucille…I need to be extra careful when playing with her.”

With a bright smile, Lucille twirled her parasol around while calmly walking towards the bloodied hallway. Whether Eiko chose to follow was another matter entirely. Hernia was just happy she could reveal her true colors, even if it was nothing but a smoothly placed lie.

“Dear Ikkime-san, you’ve caused quite the racket for yourself, haven’t you?” Lucille called out to the enraged fox Youkai. An aura of power much similar to Ikkime’s radiated off the girl’s figure, slowly dwarfing Ikkime’s power. She brought her hands out and motioned for the fox to go ahead and challenge her.

“Come and play little one. I have much to teach you."
