"You'll have your turn," the leader said flatly when confronted by the American adoptive.  Something about this one didn't sit right with Aika.  There was no health bar above his head, and thus far, even the one boss they had encountered had had a health bar when they met him in battle.  Was he...he could be anything?  A cutscene?  A fight they were supposed to lose, maybe?  While Joy's Flying Knee had gotten intercepted by the wild block, and another man had stayed out of the fray for fear of the 'crazy holy lightning chick,' a third managed to keep it together enough to launch an attack - not that it mattered, the raw display of power had clearly frightened him, as well...just not as badly as the others.  Pushing him backwards, the holy sign that had appeared on the body of one Brotherhood man appeared, sapping his willpower.<br/><br/>The next few seconds were a flurry of hands and feet - all three men attempted to grab the girls, but one of the two that had attacked Joy got nailed by a cross-counter that knocked down his health bar, finally, from green to merely yellow.  Joy then followed up with a power-driven elbow slash that put him down.  Similarly, Aika tagged her own target with the holy-guided missile fist that was the Devil Fighter, ALSO knocking him out of the fight.  "Get out of here," Aika heard herself growl at the goon.  She had had enough of dealing with the small fry; she wanted the big whale that was sitting in back there with the girl whose cleavage was hanging out of her shirt.<br/><br/>"Peaches?"  The boss said to the girl on his lap.<br/><strong><em><br/>"GET THEM."</em></strong><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">!!! ALERT!  ALERT!  Incoming Enemy! !!!</span></div><br/>"Oh,<em>shit</em>," Aika cursed as she realized the truth, why she'd seen no health bar above the head of the gang boss.  And in case Joy was too slow, she could see the bar fill up once, twice, three times, before stopping.
