Tora could see his breath faintly in the chilly night air in Octoberville. His father, Professor Himitsu, sent them here to the park, having gotten word that demons may be appearing here tonight. He turned to his companions and said "So, according to dad, we're going to be encountering some Imps out here. Keep your eyes open, and be ready." His ring glowed on his finger, and a katana appeared in his hand. Just as he said it, several beings began coming out of the ground.

[/REDACTED]

Kai shifted his weight and scanned the perimeter of their group and noticed the shifting shadows in the trees.
His ring glowed blue and two of his throwing knives appeared in time for him to throw them at the two jumping imps coming out of the tree line.
As those two dropped, two more took their place.
"You know, I have a test tomorrow," he grumbled and backed up half a step to keep the shadows in his sights.

Idly playing with the ring on her finger, Kumiko's mind had begun to wander shortly after upon hearing their target would be imps. Yet again.

"I mean, it could be worse. At least it's something cute." Kumiko chimed in response to the group's complaints, reaching up with her free hand to rub her eyes as she fought the urge to let out a yawn. To say that she was acclimated to this new schedule the Occult Club would be a bit of a stretch. Once the small creatures began to crawl from the earth, her eyes seemed to light up in an odd sense of appreciation toward the monsters. Throwing her arms forward her ring began to glow orange, a large metallic object phasing into reality. Grabbing onto the handle on the back Kumiko slammed the shield downward, planting the pointed end into the soil as she hid her small frame behind her 'weapon'.

"It won't take too long. I'm sure you can get that beauty sleep, Rin." She taunted, being sure to place far too much emphasis than necessary on those two words. In the midst of her comment, one of the monsters contorted its form in an erratic manner before crouching down to break into a leap toward the group. With a soft giggle, Kumiko's ring lit up once again and a small pebble on the nearby ground suddenly shot to the Imp much like a bullet. With a pop it pierced the imp's chest sending it tumbling backward to the nearby sidewalk. With a shriek two more immediately appeared near it, baring their claws toward the students.

"Then again, shooting fish in a barrel would still depend on, uh...how many fish."

Asim, wearing a Fur Collar jacket looking around, "Tell me again, what are Imps?" His hands were together, his index finger rubbing around the ring, the cold turned colder around him, "I swear.." He said shivering, " I wish my element was fire..." Though the cold around him stood still, he got used to it and looked around the room. He had no idea the Occult club was like this. He rubbed his finger hardly on the ring, making it glow an icy blue aura, his staff appeared, he had a feeling something is going to happen...Something BIG.

"It may not be glamorous, but we're the only ones who can do this guys, or would you rather these guys attack the citizens?" Tora asked, slashing a couple with his katana, and throwing a fireball at a group of them.

Nate's ring was shining brilliantly as he cleaved through umps with his halberd. He mentally kept count as he slashed; it was an old habit he had obtained over the years. He shivered as his muscles struggled for warmth.

"Damn this cold. How many of these can there be?!" Nate lamented to no one in particular. He thanked the heavens for the gloves, lest his hands be permanently bonded to the pole of his halberd. He lashed out at an imp then kept several more at bay with long, arching strikes. "I'd settle for a vacation, though." A blinding beam blasted several imps, forcing their retreat. He sighed has he reposted and secured Today's flank. "They may be weak but let's not get sloppy. Stay focused."

Seth jumped back as an imp slammed its body into the ground. He took the opportunity and slashed it in half before he turned to two more who were trying to sneak up behind him. He spun his Scythe and let it rest on his right shoulder as he sighed, “If civilians are stupid enough to go near these things then that’s just natural selection weeding out the weak.” Seth charged towards the two imps and flung his Scythe towards them. One imp wasn’t fast enough and was sliced in half at the waist. The second imp ducked and slammed its arrow-shaped head into Seth’s abdomen. He winced as he slid back as it seemed the imp was laughing as it twitched.

“Damn things are nothing but a nuisance,” Seth grunted as he swung his Scythe again. The Imp didn’t move, knowing it was out of reach of Seth’s swung, but it didn’t anticipate his Scythe to spate into three sections. Seth squeezed the handle and it separated into three sections with chains between each. The change chattered as the blade swung and decapitated imp. He squeezed the handle again and it quickly reiterated back into a single section. Seth sighed before he looked back at Tora and said, “This is getting us no were. Just find the damn one that’s their leader and kill it.” Seth quickly jumped back as three imps tried to attack him. He could easily use his ring to produce electricity, but he saw that as weak and an easy way out

Kai ducked and jumped up to slice his knife up the middle of an imp. He jumped back to catch his breath behind Kumiko's shield.
"Imp's are no better than a younger sibling," He chimed in for Asim's benefit. "Just a hell of a lot more bite to them. They like to tag team and use distractions to level the playing field." There was a screech and Kai swung around in time to take out at Imp jumping at their unprotected backs.
In the distance there was a cry and a scream, like that of a person.
"And cue distraction." Kai looked to Tora. "What should we do?"

"Kai, go check it out, we can take these guys!" Tora said, looking back at him. His katana was now engulfed in flames as he slashed at the imps.

Asim flipped a charing Imp woth his staff, the urning to grappel it on the ground, turning it's back, choking it while freezeing it, " How many are there? Hell, these guys come in packages.." Finally smashing it into piceces while it was pure ice. " I don't have a blade you guys so I need help, you think a staff witb cut through deamons?" His voice cold and harsh.

Kai nodded once and looked around at the others before he sprinted off in the direction of the scream. Kai ducked and threw his knives as he went. He got tackled to the ground once and ended up with a sizable scratch on his arm but managed to throw his attacker off once he stabbed him.
Kai was working on pulling the water from the air in order to aid his attacks but he was still far off, needed a nearby body of water to get anywhere.
He pounded through the forest until he came to a bit of a clearing and paused to catch his breath. It was quiet. Too quiet. He sighed and two daggers appeared in each hand.
"Distraction. Damn Imps... I should be studying right now!" Kai yelled and was answered by cackling from all around him. With throwing knives Kai was able to take on multiple attacks at a time and who knew, maybe the leader was part of this attack and he could end this right now.
He flexed his muscles, testing the strength around his ripped skin and prepared to fight.

" Ya know, you can have a study buddie for the upcomig test." As he touched the top of the staff making a spike, he ran into an Imp stabbing it in the, the Imp kept punching his head, he could feel blood trickling down his head, he stabbed harder and thursted up, " After all, I'm not busy for the..week!" He reached out toward an Impm ice flying out, freezeing it, "This is a work out, how do you guys keep up with it?" He was still fihting but panting.

"It just takes practice, Asim. This is like cardio after a while." Nate continued wading through the bloodbath as he moved around the battlefield. "Look, we can't waste all night on Imps. We need to finish this quickly. I'm going to count to three, and I need everyone to close their eyes. Wait a moment, then find their leader and strike together. One..." Nate knocked an imp aside. He had to get to the center for this to pay off. "Two!" Nate tripped. Fack. He rose to his feet already sprinting. "Three!" He slid on a knee, slammed the base of the halberd in front of him and cast a light as bright as the sun in the center of the throng.

In theory, everything would be blind for quite some time. Nate stood up and realized the magic had taken quite a toll hon him. Hopefully the others would make the ground while he attempted to catch his second wind.

Sky swing her knife toward imp and slash it in half, a another imp almost attack Sky but she dodge the attack, she gain her air powers on to her knife and send the air attack that slash two imp.

Sky hear the plan that Nate have for them, he tell them that he need everyone to close their eyes, Wait a moment, then find the imp leader, When Nate said three, Sky close her eyes and while the mist of all this, she thought to herself wait...are we going to have a test tomorrow or next week?

Kai --

Everything zeroed in around Kai. He saw the imps come in and he just started throwing and kicking. His hand to hand wasn't the greatest, still practicing that when he could, so he took every chance he could to kill them from afar. He was being circled when there was a brilliant white light in the distance. He sighed, finally. the imps became distracted and he slipped away, running and found what he could feel from the short distance. He dropped his arm into the water and watched it rise and then flood the small meadow they were in. The imps screeched as the water over took them. Some drowned but most fled.
He laid back on the ground and shut his eyes for a second, catching his breath again.
There was an aweful cry from the distance and he sat up slowly. Almost over. There was no way he was studying tonight.
Kai pushed himself back to his feet and jogged through the woods back to his odd group of classmates.

Seth spun around and sliced an imp in half before he let out a frustrated sigh. He looked around at all the imps around him and the others. He then saw them using their rings and cursed under his breath, “Damn it. These things don’t know when to quit.” He gritted his teeth and snarled as he looked back at the imps slowly stalking towards him.

“Fine, I guess I’ll take the easy way out,” Seth said before he lifted his Scythe and began to spin it above his head. Electricity began to form above his spinning scythe as it sparked and shot all around him. Parts of the ground started to char as the electricity hit the radius around Seth. He narrowed his eyes towards the imps and hissed, “Remember this you damn demons. This is what true terror looks like.” He rotated his Scythe so its blade looked the sphere of condensed electricity. He spun around and slashed at the air in front of him.

“Flying Tesla Coil,” Seth yelled just as the sphere of condensed electricity shot towards the imps. It morphed and took the shape of a crescent moon. It shot towards the imps and once it hit the first imp it exploded with a large crackle as the imps violently convulsed as electricity shot through their bodies. If the goal was to kill the imps without alerting people around them, Seth clearly failed as the large crackle echoed in the night air.

Connie is having fun. Currently she is picking off the Imps that are 'hiding' to spring on the group. Well to anyone else they are probably hiding, it is just the dark has not been problem since she got this ring. With a jump axe kick cutting two vertically in half, Connie continued by sifting back to the group.

Kumiko felt a sinking sensation in her stomach as Tora suggested Kai run off toward the screaming. Alone. In the dark, while monsters were trying to hunt their prey. This scenario seemed far too familiar for her to simply play along even if he did seem like one of the more powerful members of the club.

"I really think somebody should tag along and-" she started to protest, poking her head out from behind her cover only for her words to fall on deaf ears. With a nod he looked over the group one last time before dashing off. Fantastic. Pouting, the freshman pulled her shield from the ground and charged forward, spires of rock and dirt shooting outward from the ground to send the demons flying into the air from the impact. While Kumiko could at least take comfort that he didn't do something like talk about how it was his last day before retirement, she was still eager to end this skirmish now for her own reasons. To say nothing of this test that was apparently a thing.

With Nate's plan in motion she shut her eyes at the end of the countdown, protecting herself from the intense flash. The sound of chaotic chattering filled the air only to be silenced as their enemies were cut down by her classmates. Instead of taking the opportunity to dish out more damage as well, however, she felt her body move of its own will toward Nate, raising her shield as she came to a stop in front of him. Several small pebbles that littered the park began to vibrate for a brief moment before levitating toward the pair, rotating in a circle around their position.

"I've got your back," she reassured her classmate. Now at the center of the battle she had a much better view of their enemies, all of which seemed to be instinctively stumbling in the same direction after that last surprise. All away from the civilians Kai had gone to rescue. "Um. Hey, there's-" She began, only for her voice to be drowned out by the loud crackling of Seth's attack. Getting flustered, Kumiko huffed before throwing her arm out, pointing toward the new fixation the imps had settled on.

"Hey! Try over there!"

"Does anyone get used to the cold?" He was riding across the air using hos element freezeing here and there, riding toward new imps."This jacket's the only thing keeping me warm."
