Zoruna<br/><br/>Brian watched and listened to their master plan. Suddenly the sound of security systems powering down all near the heads and their people could be audibly heard. A mysterious eerie music filling the room only where Marlo and his close friends were. Things were only going to get better from there. The giant screen over one of the buildings suddenly changed into a blueprint with the blue dots indicating the enemy. Only the good guys could see it. He moved and was beside Aki with a few feet of space. "Moshi moshi Aki." He said. A voice manipulator was in his mouth. "I see you found your welcoming party to your liking. The yellow eyes looked at his sniper. He moved and stood on the edge. "I knew Vince would get it to the right people. I'm assuming it wasn't through Chris like usual." He said with a smirk that was unnoticeable within the mask across his lower face. He looked at Aki. "However, I am delighted to see you wasted no time in taking the message I had Hi-chan deliver for me." He moved to the other side and played with the blackberry. The motion sensors within the buildings powered down. "Yes. Yes. I do believe my work here is done." He said. Turning and walked away from Aki. Turning to face him again. Tossing him a katana. "A gift from someone close to you." The gold bladed Katana had a silver hilt with gold bands around it. "A belated birthday present if you will."<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki tensed when he felt a presence near him, but the familiar manipulated voice made him only look at him with narrowed eyes. He caught the katana and said, "Why thank you Brian." He sniffed the air and his eyes widened. 'It couldn't be...' He looked at the masked man, but his attention was diverted when he felt the allure spike.<br/><br/>He turned and promptly fired five shots, they all hit their targets.<br/><br/>Things didn't stay as planned. He smelled His three men's blood and cursed. He ran into the building using the roof entrance, while unsheathing his katana. He found Tamaki fighting three men and injured. He cut off their heads and pulled Tamaki into his arms, "How bad?"<br/><br/>"Aspen and Beliar killed ten others. They are in better shape than me. But went after five more who ran away."<br/><br/>"Go to the roof and use my assault. All senses open."<br/><br/>"Yes'sir."<br/><br/>Aki was out of the building and heading for their main target building.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Brian looked at him and nodded his head. "Main building. Back room. Secret entrance." He said. He then jumped from that roof onto the next. Circling around and drew his remaining weapon. He came around in front of the five more who ran away. He moved his blade ten times. Blood flying everywhere as he walked away. Heads rolling off and bodies falling in half. He stopped and looked towards the two men who worked for "Aki needs you. My work here is done." He said. He took out a thing. Waiting until those two were out of the way and Aki was in the main building. He pressed the button and the other three buildings exploded into flames. "Down with the drugs, the chop shop, the whore house and the storage room." He looked to the main building. "Its up to you now Aki. Fight with honor as always." He then walked into the smoke and vanished.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Aki ran through the secret entrance and came out in a small room, he quickly maneuvered his way to the main room and found Valentia and hers at a stand still with Drego, Runoteli, and their men. He strode forward his katanas held in a simple hold.<br/><br/>"Runoteli!" He growled.<br/><br/>Said man turned and faced him, "Ah, Aki. A 'pleasure' as always." Runoteli was a sarcastic, sadistic man.<br/><br/>"I wish I could say the same, then again I don't." Aki replied, stopping in his tracks. It was now one-on-one for each head. Drego versus Valentia. Runoteli versus Akihiko.<br/><br/>"And you come without men or backup. A pity."<br/><br/>"Your foreplay is nothing to be desired."<br/><br/>"Yet your body is as sinful as Death."<br/><br/>"Would you like to dance with Death?"<br/><br/>"I would." Runoteli lunged at Aki.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, Beliar and Aspen were stopped by the masked man who sent shivers down their spines, but seeing as he helped them and said Aki was in trouble. They'd rather check on Aki than fight him. So they turned and ran back the way they came, this time over the rooftops. "Aspen find Tamaki and heal him. Meet you where Aki-sama is."<br/><br/>"Hn." They split ways.<br/><br/>Reno was bored. "Maaaaan, Rude. Why can't we be fighting right now?"<br/><br/>"Because Aki-sama told us to protect Hi-chan and Vince."<br/><br/>"B-but it's so boooooring..."<br/><br/>"..."<br/><br/>Hikari looked up from her finances to Reno, "Teach me a new card game?"<br/><br/>Reno perked up, "Hell yeah!" He grabbed the cards and plopped in front of her and Vince, "Wanna play too, Pretty Boy?"<br/><br/>Rude sighed, but joined them. He looked towards Chris, "Do you...?" Rude wasn't a man of many words, and Chris was most likely listening in so he'd know the context of Rude's statement.<br/><br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Vince looked up from the stuff for a minute. Looking back at the finances. Writing down more numbers. He listened to them talking then looked at Hi-chan. Looking to Reno and Rude. Writing down the last number. Blinking and looked at him. "I don't know how to play anything but solitaire. Even that game I am horrible at." He looked to Chris who was standing guard like a statue.<br/><br/>Chris looked at Rude. "Maybe in a bit. However...if you two teach Vince how to play strip poker I will kick your asses so hard you won't sit straight for a month." He said with a smirk. He wouldn't really out of respect for Aki but the meaning behind the threat was all the same. "Have fun you guys." He pulled out a switch blade and played with it. "Rude...enjoy your time but keep an ear out for anything suspicious. I know you got really good hearing. No telling if it'll be needed." He kept his gaze ahead. Sniffing a bit but finding no suspicious activity.<br/><br/>Vince blinked at what Chris said. Looking  at Reno and Rude. Sitting up and smiled. "Let's play. It'll pass the time." He said. Rather excited about learning card games.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Hikari beamed. Happy everyone was going to play. "What this time, Re-chan?"<br/><br/>"Hmm... Egyptian Rat Skirt. It's safe and there is no stripping." He gave a small chuckle.<br/><br/>"So here is how...."<br/><br/>Aki raised his black katana (the one in his left hand) and blocked Runoteli. He brought his white katana forward in a chest slice, it only cut Runoteli's shirt.<br/><br/>Runoteli spun his two rapiers in circles. "Want to know what I did Akihiko?" Before lunging at Aki again, going for two downward slashes at Aki's chest.<br/><br/>Aki didn't respond, he just blocked the rapiers putting them in a deadlock.<br/><br/>Runoteli leaned forward a little and whispered, "I fucked your slave."<br/><br/>Aki's eyes widened before narrowing as he pushed the rapiers, the blades sliding together a little and sounding like nails on a chalkboard. Runoteli flew, wide eyed into the wall behind him. He flew over fifty yards, slamming into the stone.<br/><br/>"Silence or meet Death swifter than a cheetah." Aki growled his eyes bleeding red.<br/><br/>Runoteli forced himself out of his stone imprint, "She was real tight you know." He ran towards Aki with his rapier's raised, crossed infront of him.<br/><br/>Aki ran and met him in a head on collision. "Silence." The word was growled out. For the next few minutes, none of the bystanders could follow Aki's and Runoteli's swift movements. They only thing they saw were sparks and streams of light until Runoteli flew into a different wall. This time he went straight through it and the one after it.<br/><br/>Aki was breathing heavily, his eyes red. Magarish was seething in his mind and promptly opened their connection to Chris to help filter the rage.<br/><br/>Runoteli came out of the rubble laughing. "You're acting like she's your lover! Though I wouldn't be surprised if you had fu-"<br/><br/>He then found himself gasping for breath as Aki choked him with one hand. Runoteli dropped his rapiers and grabbed Aki's arm. Clawing at it. Aki was breathing flames. Meanwhile Chris was being forced the images and sounds by Magarish, who was barely sane.<br/><br/>Beliar ran into the room during the light show and ended up being ganged upon by Runoteli's men. Tamaki and Aspen soon joined him, along with Herald's men. Runoteli's and Drega's men were all dead, when Aki forced Runoteli into the wall.<br/><br/>"T-Tamaki... what do we do...?" Beliar asked softly. Stunned by Aki's anger.<br/><br/>"I... I don't know."<br/><br/>Aki growled at Runoteli, "You are a fool to anger me. I deem your life forfeited." Aki snapped Runoteli's neck and all went silent in the room.<br/><br/>Valentia was scared. She had never seen him so pissed before and didn't know what words Runoteli had spoken to put the man in such a state. She didn't dare move and make the predator in front of her fixate on her.
