So maybe throwing them to the ground wasn't the brightest idea, but she was only human. She made mistakes and dealt with their consequences. She was human and the man over her was not. Of course, as a human, she was getting tired rather quickly but that wouldn't get in the way of what she had to do. She knew that she was doing something right when she could see blood dripping out of his mouth. She almost grinned but when his teeth meant into her arm, she hissed moving her hand away. This action left her not causing anymore damage to him, much to her dismay. Her eyes fluttered close briefly has his hand went into her wound; the pain caused her the tremble. The threat of passing out from pain and blood loss was cutting it dangerously close.<br/><br/>She grunted when he pinned her legs down and she knew that she was at a real disadvantage. She opened her eyes as she glared up at him, though she looked around for anything that would be made useful to her. Her gun was too far away and it wasn't like she had hands to grab for it. Her switchblade as hidden in the dirty alleyway, so there was no luck there. Sure there were pieces of trash and debris lying around but she didn't have time to try and figure out what she could use. Their positioned shifted and that left his mouth free. She wanted to groan as she knew that she would either have her throat ripped out or her face bitten off. Those two options both sounded painful and not something that she wanted to happen.<br/><br/>Turning her head to the side, she looked at the wrist that was attached to the fingers digging into her shoulder. As his fingers moved more, she felt tears prick the corner of her eyes. She could handle a decent amount of pain but even still her body reacted accordingly. She began to struggle, using all that she could to try and throw him off balance. That must have looked rather stupid, seeing how most of his body held her done. Well, she wasn't going to give up in the end. She groaned again, beginning to get frustrated with this whole situation. She wished that she could tell the pilot to escape or he would figure out how to get out of his restraints. She couldn't allow both of them to die here; it would be a failure to Zachariah.<br/><br/>She glared up at the male above, noticing the way that he smiled at her. She cursed softly, knowing what was to come. She wished she had some kind of inhuman strength as well, but that was not in God's will. She would not turn against God in order to become a monster like the Cannibal. She glanced back over at the wrist, her eyes narrowing. She would leave a mark on him as well. She immediately latched her teeth onto his arm, clamping down with all her might. She nearly gagged when she pierced his skin. How he could eat flesh was beyond her but she didn't let go. Her teeth may not be as sharp but she knew a bite still hurt and she wasn't going to have her final moments being filled with him biting her.<br/><br/>She would show him what it felt like.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>It really came as no surprise that Azrai wanted to keep Shizu in his sights. Back in Jerusalem, he had been so hell-bent on finding and protecting her that Ivan nearly lost his life because of it. The resounding sound of the gun's empty barrel clicking still rang in his ears. He was sure that Zachariah knew that Azrai would want to be the protector of Shizu even now, though it really didn't seem like she needed protection. The look in her eyes spoke louder than words could say, she was prepared and dangerous. Then again, he knew that the Oni woman was typically not like this. She was a timid and quiet woman, for what he had seen. He could see why Azrai still felt compelled to protect her, hell, even Ivan felt it. But was really it for her or Azrai's safety?<br/><br/>Either way, they all knew that Shizu needed to be protected in order to keep Azrai from going off too far in the deep end. It was safe to say that Shizu was the main reason why Azrai would kill anything that so much as breathed, if injured severely. The man still insisted on protecting her now, despite his injuries and where he would be placed while fighting. Was it out of his sense of duty towards the woman or something else? Ivan didn't even want to go down that thought path as of now. No one really knew what went on in Azrai's head and every time Ivan thought he knew something, it turned out he was wrong. Maybe when it was all over, they would really see how things played out between the two of them. How would it be when Shizu was finally on her own? Would things go back to normal? Somehow, he knew that things would never be<span style="font-style: italic">normal</span>after this. It was too much to think about and he could feel a headache growing, this was no time to worry about the well being of his friend. He was a grown man and could make his own decisions, even if they were stupid.<br/><br/>They were only human.<br/><br/>Shizu looked at Maverick as she could be under his care for now, though she did look back over at Azrai. It really touched her, knowing that Azrai wanted to make sure she would be alright. A small smile almost touched her lips though she refrained from doing so, least someone think she was lusting too much for blood. She really wasn't sure what to call whatever she was feeling at this moment, but she would use the word happy for now. Even in the midst of battle, his need to protect her was there, just as it had been in the very beginning. It was very touching because she never had anyone like that in her life before. She felt even more confident in her abilities just knowing that Azrai would have her back. She glanced over as Zachariah and a gentle smile came to her face. "Holding back will not be an issue, I assure you," she said gently, calmly. She could see some of the men shift; they were made uncomfortable at the way she smiled at their leader's words. They had seen how she handled that bio-weapon with ease and how she didn't even mind the blood.<br/><br/>She was an Oni after all.<br/><br/>The problem was not holding back, it was transforming. She knew that humans could not handle the sight of an Oni's true form. It could be an advantage or a nightmare upon the battlefield. It really depended on how strong the minds around her were. Flexing her fingers, she felt her knuckles pop. She wasn't even halfway through her transformation. She was sure that the more she fought, the faster she would change, but if it was necessary she would. As far as she could understand, she was to kill all those who attacked them and head for the leader. That was simple enough. Her guidelines were to not get caught and to not lose control. She had Maverick to keep her in check and Azrai would be somewhere else making sure that she wouldn't be captured.<br/><br/>She glanced around as others began to head to their stations. She felt her heart flutter and she knew that it was time to fight. Letting out a steady breath, before she glanced over at Azrai and she slowly moved over to him, a look of concern in her eyes. She already knew that he was going back into that state of mind that he had been in Jerusalem. It was written all over his face and all over the way he carried himself. With her clean hand, she gently touched him on the arm, her vermilion eyes staring up at him. She sucked in her lower lip between her teeth, as if she was struggling with finding the words to tell him. There were actually a lot of things that she wanted to say to him. Who knew if this would be the last time she would see him? It was highly doubtful, but this was war they were going into and anything could happen.<br/><br/>"Azrai...I..." she paused, her eyebrows furrowed together. She took another moment to try to figure out what she wanted to say. "I know that you have heard this a lot today but..." She glanced up at him, worry in her eyes. "Please, do not get any further injuries, it would greatly worry me." She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. Her hand squeezed his arm gently and she smiled. "Be careful." She pulled her hand away from his arm and turned back to head out with Maverick and Ivan. Was she worried about the male? Of course she was. She had been one of the main reasons as to why he was put into this position. It didn't help that she still felt guilty about the previous injuries he had received because of her.<br/><br/>She moved back over to Maverick, a small smile on her lips. She knew that he was not too comfortable with having to keep an eye on her. He seemed to not like the idea of blood and gore. She wasn't much of a fan of violence but it couldn't be helped at this point. She glanced over at Ivan, who seemed to be thinking about other things. When he noticed her eyes on him, he tried to give her a small grin though it was hard with the severity of the situation weighing down on him. "It seems like it's time to head out," he said, holding the gun within his grasp tightly. He was curious to see how much this weapon had changed since five years ago. This was still under a work in progress, but Zachariah said it would have to do for now. He would trust that man, like he always had. They all would trust him, even if the plan was not as elaborate as they would have liked, but God would let things fall into place and they would be victorious.<br/><br/>Ivan placed a hand on top of Shizu's head, ruffling her head a bit. "Should you need our help, let us know," he said in a gentle yet stern murmur. The Oni woman looked up at him and she smiled a bit, nodding her head. She knew that they worried about her losing control and she kept that worry on her mind. As long as she had conscious thoughts then she would be fine. They continued to move on, her ears picked up the sound of many people ahead of them. She could feel her stomach tighten with slight anxiety and her hands trembled with excitement. She was ready for this battle. When her eyes caught sight of the barren lands and the massive crowd, she felt a smile tug on her lips. There were thousands of bio-weapons, just waiting for them. She could see the car a few yards away from the battlefield, knowing that was where Raziel would be.<br/><br/>She tugged off the jacket she had been wearing, knowing that it would get in the way and constrict her movements. She dropped it onto the ground, popping her fingers once again, her claws aching to sink into the enemy. Ivan clenched his jaw as he saw the amount of enemies that littered the field; did they really have a chance? He knew that they were all bio-weapons and that meant they were harder to kill. No, God had entrusted them with this task, to wipe these scum off the face of the Earth. He knew that this was in His will. He would follow the plan accordingly, no more doubt in his mind. They had their best forces on the field and they would be the victors of the battle. His finger rested lightly on the trigger, ready to shoot down any of these fuckers that came too close.<br/><br/>------<br/><br/>So, they had arrived and they split into their respective forces? How wonderful. He glanced out of the window, using a pair of binoculars to watch the forces that were at the city's edge. His eyes widened and he leaned forward. There in the flesh, was the Oni woman. She was perfection for what he could see. She was much more petite than he had realized, though when she shrugged off her jacket, he could see her muscles ripple underneath her skin. He could see the power that lay dormant within her body. He wanted her. More than anything in this world, he wanted her at his side, bringing upon this Liberation. He didn't care how many had to die in order to successfully have her. She teased him so, the way she stood on the opposite side. It was as if she was testing him, to see if he could actually capture her.<br/><br/>He did enjoy games but she would pay for making him wait for so long. To finally be within his eyes, he felt elation. The high that he felt at this moment was better than any injection he had even been given. To think that Zachariah would dangle her out in the frontlines like that. He knew that his dear friend was toying with him as well. They would all pay. They should not underestimate him or his creations. They would soon find that out the hard way. It was obvious that the team he had sent into the city had been killed by the Oni. He could see the blood on her hands. She was divine and she would be his soon.<br/><br/>"The woman is here; stop at nothing to get her." His voice was filled with mild excitement as he spoke into the earpiece. "You do not want me to come out there, understood?"<br/><br/>'U-Understood.'<br/><br/>He watched as his forces back to move in large fleets, Zachariah should feel overwhelmed by the numbers he had. Raziel's impatience to have Shizu would be his downfall, though that never crossed his mind. He just needed to have Shizu and of he had to leave the confinements of his car, then so be it. He would have her.<br/><br/>There really wasn't much to plan on, the objective was simple: Kill or be killed. Besides, a soon as they were in the sights of the enemy, they began to move. To her left Ivan had set off with his own little squad, to her right there were others, and in the middle she was with Maverick and company. She knew that she was their best defense at this point, but she knew that these bio-weapons were still human enjoy to kill. She could simply kill them a lot faster. The sounds of guns being fired caused her to jump slightly but she recovered. She had to get used to the sounds of war, they could not distract her. Her ears picked up on every sound, it was a bit overwhelming but she pressed out. Her eyes shimmered with determination and the promise of death. As the enemy neared, she counted twenty. A frown touched her lips, they were trying to intimidate them with their vast numbers but humans were simple minded. She did not fear numbers, she had an entire village out to kill her, and this was nothing new to her.<br/><br/>She swiftly moved into the battle, taking a few steps away from Maverick, her speed allowing her to be very agile as possible. Clenching her jaw, she moved through the enemy easily, allowing them to fall down thanks to the snipers hidden. Her hands went through one of their throats, ripping out his spine easily, like a knife going through room temperature butter. She moved to the next enemy, the woman growled at her. She smiled sweetly as she dodged a punch and maneuvered around a kick. Grabbing the leg, she yanked it towards her. The woman stumbled and yelped trying to get away, no one expected such strength from the petite woman. Her hand went through the woman's stomach, reaching the other side. Wiggling her fingers, she yanked her arm back out, her claws digging into the insides of the woman. She watched the body drop as the bio-weapon was far too damaged to recover.<br/><br/>Glancing up at the enemies that still came, she could see the apprehension in their eyes. No one had gauged how powerful she would become, how merciless she would become on the battlefield. Shizu grinned, her fangs glistening in the slightly, her tongue licked away the blood that splattered on her cheek. The tips of her hair were slowly turning ivory, as she continued to use more of her abilities. She moved quickly as she took down more of the enemy. It felt good to have this power running through her body. She had never felt like this before in her entire life. Jumping up into the air, she landed on the shoulders of a weapon; her hands twisted the head, severing the spinal cord. She moved on towards the next one, a grin on her lips.<br/><br/>Holding back was not a problem.
