Now that things calmed down, Chiyaki felt glad too that he seemed to find new friends. Were they really his friends or was this all just an odd situation that just so happened to bring them all together? No, no, he was overthinking this. In any case, he needed to meet up with them again to find out more about what just actually happened and if and when it could happen again. He also wanted to find out if he could still use his new power as is when not in battle. Still lost in thought and trying to keep up with what the Archer, who introduced herself as Aiko, said he hadn't noticed that he still did not say a word before they started leaving. Something about leaving now while everything was still froze-OH NO! Chiyaki snapped out of it and realized they needed to get back to class.

Once they got back inside, there was only seconds to spare until they got back in their seats. Everything looked exactly as it was left. Chiyaki breathed a sigh of relief at their good luck making it on time. It also crossed his mind that he did not introduce himself. Rude! He needed to work on that. He kept thinking about the three Hasumi, Hercules and Aiko. Hasumi seemed quite skilled though there seemed to be a darkness of some kind she was hiding.Though it was not his place to pry, he wanted to help more. Hercules seemed like a pretty out there kinda guy, strong, friendly very reliable; he should try to emulate that more to be more socially adept. That Aiko though, she seemed pretty and mysterious, I mean pretty mysterious! He had to do better paying attention and not over thinking so much, otherwise he'd really miss out on meeting other girls! Looks like he found a "club" to join in after all! It had occurred to him as well that he did not feel self conscious about his eyes around them. He may just find a place to fit in after all. It also occurred to him that the teacher repeated his name 4 times by now asking him a question. He missed the time continuing.....woops.

As the battle wrapped up, Chiyaki began to have second thoughts whether what he was experiencing was a dream or not. Usually in the middle of battle the dream would end, there was nothing definitive. This was too neat. "Too tidy with a bow on top" neat. At this point all the demons were destroyed and the portal closed off by the Archer, everyone was making introductions. He noticed the girl from his class looking particularly fearful of the Golden Knight. Strange. You'd think most kids would look at shining knights, especially this literal one here, with ooo and awe. Then again, he was not her brain so he wouldn't know her triggers. Still, he felt sorry that she was feeling such a way and wanted to help, but he didn't want to agitate the situation further.

Thankfully the Archer and Knight were quick to diffuse the situation. The Knight removed his armor and weaponry to reveal himself as a red haired, older looking student, probably a Junior. He seemed to have the friendly older brother thing down as he didn't take further steps but established his friendly face with her. The Archer did the same kneeling a bit to be on equal footing with the knife wielding assassin assuring her that we were all friends. Chiyaki felt like he had to say something at this point. With the reality that this could all be real, happening, he voice started to crack when he spoke up, "y-yeah, we're all friends here" Then three pairs of eyes were on him. He felt like a deer in headlights.

As Chiyaki continued in the fight, he noticed the third fighter dispatching the other demons with her knives. Now his "fever dream" turned into a full rock music video! He even took time to notice the archer's ritual that closed the portal that these demons seemed to continue spawning from. It appeared all that was left were the stragglers. Chiyaki felt he could relax now and go all out with his newfound power. A surge of confidence electrified him and he summoned his ability. Although he would not see it himself, his eyes began to glow brighter and it appeared his eyes were replaced with a brilliant blue flame. His perception changed again to slow time around him and his enemies' weak spots were shown once more. He readied his whip, but this time, small sharp blades began to protrude around it. Spinning with no effort he took out multiple targets with surgeon-like precision. His gauntlet glowed and he released a tremor punch on the ground, the force of which cleared the demons that surrounded him now lacerated into dusted bits swept away by the furious wind.

With the immediate threat around him gone, he removed his headphones. He saw the archer and the knight were finished though the knife wielder was still working on her share. He didn't want to hog any more kills, even if it was a dream to him. But ever still the polite one, he didn't want to get in the way and simply observed her finishing off the demons with finesse. However, when he took a closer look, he thought that she seemed familiar somehow. Yes, even through her cloak he could see the scars on her face. It was his fellow classmate from homeroom! He then wondered if the other two were students that he knew. He would either wake up before it ended or he would find out how deep this dream would go.

Chiyaki was thankful that no one approached him, nor did he appear to get any lasting looks from the other classmates who saw his little spaz moment in homeroom. Most of the day went by with no problem, classes were introductory but he didn't feel like he was making an impression so far. Then again, being below the radar was better than popping up in a negative way. That said, he really hoped his little spaz out moment in homeroom wouldn't stick. Despite his concern for his eyes, he did notice others who appeared funkier than he did. But among them though he noticed a girl in his class who seemed to have a number of scars on her face. He kinda wished he could've approached her. But what would he have said though? If she was like him in anyway, she too would feel quite apprehensive about her appearance and could be weary of anyone who suddenly approached and talked to her. He would give it a day or two to workshop this. For now history class needed attention. As well as the question of why everything was so quiet all of a sudden.

As Chiyaki looked up from his notes, he saw the teacher standing still with his mouth open as though he were in the middle of talking. In fact, everyone else looked like they were dead still in the middle of what they were doing! It's as if reality hit the pause button and Chiyaki was the only glitch. Upon this realization he heard a loud unnatural noise and looked out the window. He saw what looked like a portal straight out of one of his favorite sci-fi shows and what appeared to be demons coming out. Initially he panicked not knowing what was going on or what to do until he saw two individuals who appeared to be fighting the demons. One appeared to be an archer sniping them left and right. The other was a straight up golden Knight killing his foes with the classic sword and shield. As afraid as he was, Chiyaki felt compelled to go down and watch. He made his way out of the classroom and saw everyone else frozen too. There had to be some kind of magic going on and he had to find out why he was unaffected. Nearing the exit door he felt a strange sensation all around him. He suddenly felt a bit heavier then realized his clothes had changed! He wasn't wearing his school uniform anymore, but what appeared to be a black armored short hooded coat. His left arm sleeve had a pauldron stitched to the shoulder and both sleeves were rolled up. His left forearm was covered by a metal clawed gauntlet, his legs were covered in metal greaves and he wore a fingerless, leather glove with metal knuckles. Also within his right hand he found a whip, like the one from the series he watched! What was happening? Was this some sort of fever dream? Was he asleep in class?

He had no time to ponder further as he arrived outside. The two he saw earlier were in the middle of battle, but a few stray demons noticed him and began to charge. Chiyaki caught off guard went into a fight or flight response, but time seemed to slow down for him. In fact, more than that changed. Suddenly his world turned gray and he could see spots on the demons, highlighted areas of their bodies; shoulders, knee joints, heads, eyeballs. Then by instinct, Chiyaki snapped his right wrist that held the whip and he began to hit these targeted spots almost without effort. A couple of the demons fell over in pain, others burst into ash. When the world seemed to move regularly again and normal color returned it occurred to Chiyaki what he just did. He began to actively focus on his actions, but with more purpose in order to summon this new power. His world slowed down and his perception changed again showing his enemies' weakspots. Chiyaki, in control this time, decided to take them out with a bit more style, lashing at at them and even grabbing one to toss into another. The gauntlet came in handy to pull a complicated maneuver where he had part of the whip swing around his hand for leverage and relinquish more power at the snap. When he dispatched this group Chiyaki felt weaker as he came out of his powered state.

"Oh no, is this what happens when I focus like this?" Whatever this new power was, he observed that it sapped his strength. He had to stop using this power and rely on his tactics. Though he never held a whip before today, somehow the techniques that didn't require too much strength from him came to him naturally and helped him to conserve his energy and keep the demons at bay. Whenever a demon got close Chiyaki lifted his gauntlet hand and the demons were somehow repelled automatically, as if pushed back by some unseen force that emanated from the gauntlet. This emboldened Chiyaki to rush in, grab them with said gauntlet hand and set them up for a flurry of combo attacks with his whip. If this was indeed some sort of fever dream, he was going to enjoy it to its fullest. He took out his headphones which were still on him, activated his mp3 player, and lashed away to the sounds of heavy metal.

First day of starting school again. Lots to look forward to but especially, a fresh new start all around! Thought Chiyaki Ito. His life hadn't been rough or anything, only that he had stood out like a sore thumb from his other classmates because of his bright blue green eyes. Some thought he was blind, others some kind of ghost or demon, but the teasing had gotten so bad for him that by the time others were starting to note how cool he kinda looked, he couldn't help but feel immensely shy and on the spot. Now was an opportunity to meet new and different people! Who knows, the eyes could work for him in landing a girlfriend! Then again the prospect made him embarrassed that he had such a vain thought!No no, time to shift thoughts. He wondered if anyone saw that new tv series that aired this past summer. The adaptation they made of that vampire hunter video game. What a novel idea, using a whip instead of the traditional sword or whatnot! And the way the hunter used said whip to sling his short sword around like a Chinese rope dart! Chiyaki wished he already made a friend to talk about this with!

Making his way onto campus by bicycle, Chiyaki began to feel excited seeing the sea of new faces around the school. Completely different, and no one started to stare at him yet! That was the nice thing about high school. Everyone's so wrapped in their own little world they don't notice the small things. He had only a few chances to not seem like a weirdo saying hi to others around him. But when he started to think about it more and if they would notice his eyes first, Chiyaki began to feel anxious and had second thoughts. He would wait until they were in homeroom and they all had to introduce themselves. At least that was required. This? This was a panic attack and mess waiting to happen if he tried to be spontaneous. Chiyaki pulled out his headphones and started listening to his 'confidence' playlist the rest of the way to the homeroom to regain his nerves.

He arrived early with a few minutes to spare. He took a seat towards the back, one desk shy away from the window. As much as he wanted to, he was not about to fulfill the trope of "stand out stranger tends to sit by the window to look out when he's bored so he'll look cool". No, he was too shy for that anyway. Then again, he started to see others walking in with dyed and wacky colored hair. Guess he wouldn't have to worry about standing out too much. He changed seats and took the window anyway. He started thinking about things he could do to get more involved. Join a club maybe? Which one though? He didn't have any discernable skill in anything, not even videogames. He would have to look around see what was available. Should he run for student council? No, that would put a spotlight on him too fast too soon. Both lost in thought and still listening to music, he hadn't noticed when everyone came in and was asked to stand up. Nice going moose brain.

"Could you please take off your headphones and stand up!?" nearly yelled a student next to him.

"Huh? Oh crap!" Chiyaki shouted. He quickly put his headphones away and stood up, but in his hurry tripped on the desk legs and fell over. Everyone chuckled and Chiyaki felt embarrassed. His face turned bright red as he stood up apologized and introduced himself.

"I didn't ask you to start introducing yourselves yet" replied Ms. Kobayashi. This is what Chiyaki got for changing seats to be near that window. He wished he could fall out of that window right now.

After Ms. Kobayashi introduced herself and everyone else did, including Chiyaki, he felt some relief that class was finally starting. At least there was some time to let the awkward die down. He resigned himself that he would be stuck with whatever impression everyone in homeroom had of him. He needed to join a club as soon as possible with new faces that didn't know him yet!

Fighting Chiyaki

Personality: soft spoken and shy, but bold and protective of those he considers his friends. He hates any excess attention put on him and avoids any kind of spotlight. As a result he can be noted to be quite sarcastic as sort of defense mechanism for his anxiety. Unchecked however his sarcasm can get the best of him and he may start to pull of more careless and arrogant acts. For him, he is at his best focused and middle ground playing his music from his mp3 player.

Bio: A normal Japanese student starting his first year in high school fresh away from his elementary and middle school years where he was often teased and even bullied for his strange green/blue colored eyes. Unknown to him and his immediate family this trait denotes his demonic ancestry and hidden potential power. This comes to play when demon attacks become rampant and he is reluctantly involved more with the hunters in his school. He learns to reach out more to others and trust them especially knowing their unique backgrounds as well as his own.

Beneath it all

Jumping off rooftop to rooftop, Zach now in Aegis mode wondered what Envy’s rampage was about this time. Shooting his retractable knuckles as grappling hooks made the trip faster because when he arrived, he saw Envy being held at paintball gunpoint shouting out for Aegis. Staring from a building rooftop overlooking the scene, Aegis took aim.
“Well, a good time as ever to try them out now” Zach said to himself as he adjusted his right knuckle taser and launched it toward Envy’s shoulder blade.
The knuckle connected knocking her down, and what Aegis assumed to be, delivering a shock as he heard her continuing to scream in pain.
Shadowbird took this opportunity to rush down and pistol whip Envy to knock her out preventing any chance of her controlling someone’s mind while awake.
Aegis made his way down fully to meet up with Shadowbird.
“Yeah, yeah, I know I’m a bit late and I had to hit her with a camping move. Call it a test run, but at least these babies didn’t kill her” Aegis motioned to his new weapons.
“And it helped that my power helped me to more accurately pin her in a….well relatively non-lethal area. So what’s up with Miss jealousy here? She kept shouting my name by the time I got here and you were in a Mexican stand off.”

Beneath it all

Not two minutes when he got home did Zach hear the broadcast warning from the TV warning about Envy being on a rampage.

"Ah great, not again" he thought. Immediately he went upstairs to grab his gear and got ready to head out after checking to make sure everything was calibrated right including the new collapsible mask he developed.

Hard to believe he used to do vigilante work in secret. In the shadows, a well tossed garbage lid here, a trip wire there, and tip offs in between all the snooping. Then a few weeks ago, he started being able to jump higher, and lift heavier objects with ease, though it didn't feel like his strength was increasing. Today though was a new one. His pencil broke into a hundred pieces, like a brittle flaky cracker, and he wasn't even applying any force to it.

Maybe today would be another opportunity to further test his powers, see what he could really do. Still, he had to allow cooler heads to prevail and be ready, which also meant an opportunity to test his new taser knuckles. Knowing Shadowbird, she was already on her way to the scene and he had to hurry to meet up.
