<strong>Name:</strong>Sagawa Bunji<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Dreamland Tokyo<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>N/A<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><em>Where the hell am I…</em><br/><br/>The sky was overcast by black, ominous clouds, churning with the flashes and rumbling of a storm. He was in a city…Tokyo…and surrounding him were creatures bipedal and quadrupedal, barking, snarling, and shrieking their hatred at his presence. His wide, blue eyes took in his surroundings as he turned in a slow circle. Everything felt so real…the cool air pungent with the odor of a fire somewhere nearby. He felt the rumbling of the storm above vibrating throughout his core.<br/><br/><em>Was this a dream?</em><br/><br/>One of the quadrupedal creatures lunged from the crowd, and a few monsters had felt a brief spurt of courage to follow it, shrieking and squawking. The black creature resembled an earless dog with the wide, tooth jaws of a muzzle-less pit bull. Its eyes and throat glowed like a furnace as its claws gripped the earth, stopping a meter short of the dream realm intruder. The dog was barking crazily, while at the same time cowardly creeping backwards not desiring to be the first to take on the stranger. The two creatures that had followed it flapped their winged arms and kicked their bird-like feet. They resembled harpies, their breasts exposed and thick manes dancing between their long, devilish horns like a flame. There were various other dark species surrounding him, and as frightening as they were he strangely didn’t feel an ounce of fear.<br/><br/>The circle was slowly narrowing as the fiends were beginning to suspect the knight’s obliviousness. Bumping shoulders and crawling all over each other in their eagerness to kill, caution was becoming thicker in the air. One of them would lunge.<br/><br/>The creature flew through the air, its equine legs stretched out as it soared over the heads of the fiends to land on massive hooves in the center of the circle. The centaur’s scorpion tail whipped back and forth as it gazed upon the knight from behind two, massive curved swords. Bunji whirled around to stare at the creature with his brows lifted in concern, and that look had been enough to convince the enemy that he had no idea what was going on.<br/><br/>The centaur flipped its swords as it outstretched its arms and thrust out its neck as it bellowed a low roar. The fiend charged, hooves tearing up the asphalt and its tarry arms flexed as it brought its swords in an X to either sever the knight in half or trample him into the pavement. Suddenly, Bunji had moved. It had started so fast, but then things seemed to slow down. He then didn’t feel in control anymore. Face contorted in rage, the knight jumped straight up into the air, raising his legs above the centaur’s crossing blades. His feet then came down to perch upon the centaur’s crossed wrists before once more leaping into the air. His body twisted around, the heel of his right foot whirling as chains of electricity gleamed off his leg. His heel met with the side of the centaur’s face with a thunderous<em>thoom!</em>that flashed with light. The monsters were allowed a second to witness the creature’s skeletal head crumpling inwards before it exploded with black icker and the fire that had burned its skull.<br/><br/>Bunji landed gracefully on the ground, becoming visible once again in what seemed like a flash to the creatures. The headless centaur continued to charge, its arms lolling and dropping its blades as its hooves crunched and stomped the bodies of the wall of fiends it galloped through. The beast soon collapsed upon its side, crushing more creatures unfortunate enough to be in the way and smearing their remains like black ink across the street as its corpse slid to a stop.<br/><br/>For what felt like a full minute, the ring of demons had fell silent in awe. Not a single snort, grunt, or squeak was heard as their burning eyes gazed upon the hole in their ranks and the path of carnage that had torn through it. Bunji was staring down at his arms and legs in shock, finally taking notice of the weapons he wielded. They crackled with electricity and upon clenching his fists the glowing generators on his arms began to spin. A crackling cloud of energy billowed from his gauntlets until the sky flashed and volt of lightning shot down to strike the warrior. All generators on his arms and legs began to turn, charging the power that surged through his being, and illuminated his skeleton as it flickered. He felt…so good. There was so much power flooding through his muscles, veins, everywhere that he felt that he could do anything.<br/><br/>The fiends’ attention was drawn to his crackling form as the monsters bristled and charged. Tongues of lightning lapped from Bunji’s eyes as he peered over his shoulder at the creatures that cowardly sought to attack him from behind.<br/><br/><em>Best dream ever…</em><br/><br/>The knight turned to charge the creatures with a cry of his own. His shoulder met the jaws of a jaguar-like creature, shattering it as he rammed it and brought his fist hooking around to connect with its face.<em>Thoom!</em>Amidst the rippling darkness that surrounded him like an ocean were flashes of light as one fiend exploded after another from the thunderous punches and kicks of the knight.<br/><br/>A winged devil hovered over the fight, its red eyes trying to keep track of the flashing hero. With lance in hand, the devil whipped its wings back and dove, seeking to run the knight through. The lance was met with resistance that sounded on a loud, reverberating<em>clang!</em>At the end of its lance was the knight’s foot, having caught the blade. Bunji was standing on one leg, his other extended toward the lance and his arms raised defensively. His eyes crackled with malicious intent as he gazed up at the devil, who quickly retracted its lance and frantically flapped its wings in an attempt to flee. Dropping his leg, Bunji launched into the air after the creature.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><em>Thoom<em>-<em>Thoom</em>-<em>Thoom</em>-<em>Thoom</em>-<em>Thoom!</em></em></em></span><br/></span><br/>What looked like a pearl necklace streaked the night sky, raining the limbs and entrails of the monster as Bunji landed back on the ground in a crouch. Rising slowly, the knight’s generators were humming again as the blue light they emitted shifted red as he charged them as high as they could go. Fiends were already beginning to run when he turned around to face them with a wicked grin clenched on his face. Raising his fists as his legs bent into a stance, the knight roared:<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial black;"><em>SHOCKING PUNCH!</em></span><br/></span><br/>The warrior winked out of existence and a white orb blossomed amongst the sea of darkness, instantly shredding the beasts caught in its immediate blast radius and sending others convulsing through the air on arches of lightning. All it had taken was for his fist to connect with one of the fiends to detonate the pent-up power. Another orb followed as Bunji’s other fist detonated, uprooting the black menace and sending them scattering through the air on a wave of screams.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: arial black;"><em>SHOCKING KICK!</em></span></span><br/><br/>His shout reverberated through the air as the explosions continued. Left foot and then right. The knight was elated, and laughing through the carnage he wrought.
