<div class="floatleft">(http://i47.tinypic.com/2j2u81h.jpg)</div><strong>Mona Temple, Team Temple<br/>Hotel Exterior</strong><br/>"Hey, huuuuuuuman!" "Yeah, human bitch!" "We can smell you from a mile away!"<br/><br/>Three demons surrounded Mona just as she finished snuffing out the dying embers of her cigarette. Typical for their kind, they were humanoid with blue or red skin and portruding horns. One step above the lowly Ogre-type, really. Low class demons. Probably just spectators that were here to watch. The crowd would already probably be lining up outside the arena, even if they didn't have tickets. Scalpers would be on hand opening day to sell tickets or sneak demons in. These three seemed to be trolling the hotel, probably trying to catch a glimpse of some of their favorite demon participants. One of the trio leered at her and pushed her from the side while cackling, "You fightin'? I bet you don't even have a team! Who would side with a friggin' human?"<br/><br/>Mona narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to the side, staring daggers at the demon that shoved her. The icy look quieted him rather quickly, but his friends persisted. "I bet Senshin floors you in about three seconds!" "Won't even make it that far! I hear she's up against Toya's team first! Hah!" Another one jeered. He tried to shove her, but Mona was done taking insults. She whirled upon him, bringing her fist out in a straight left jab, her fist wreathed in blue spirit energy. The punch stopped about half an inch short. A heartbeat later, the low-class thug went sailing a good ten yards until he hit the ground, tumbled, and crashed into a rock. The mere shockwave from her punch had sent the creature spiraling and now he lay in a mangled pile. Well, what can you expect out of a peon like that? His two friends lept at her, enraged at their buddy's demise. Stepping backwards, the detective deftly dodged and waved her arms, hurling two clusters of round, glowing blue orbs at the demons. The spheres stuck to their bodies and they had time to emit a girlish shriek before their top halves exploded, leaving torso-less bodies to slump lifelessly to the ground.<br/><br/>Mona exhaled and drew her pack of cigarettes from her vest pocket. "....Can't you see I'm tryin' to smoke?"
