Shizuo was working his night job as if it were nothing but simply taking the garbage out to the trash can. Except that the garbage was a demon (not that there was much difference in his eyes). And the trash can was the nearest object solid enough to turn the demon's head into pulp when he slammed the creature against it. Throwing the corpse to the floor he growled at those that still surrounded him, throwing his cigarette to the floor he ground it into the concrete with his heel before giving a roar, a roar that was all too close to being in-human. Some of the demons staggered back slightly in fear of what stood before them, they could smell what he was and part of them wanted nothing more than to tear his guts out, rip him limb from limb and feast on his entrails. But then there was the other half... The half that realized that this beast had been backed into a corner and prodded, and poked and provoked, he was possibly at his most dangerous in his current state. They could see it in his eyes, those blue eyes which now held flecks of gold within them.
Shizuo rushed forwards, a black, white and yellow blur as he brought arms and legs with the durability of steel girders into the demons and sent them scattering in all directions, beaten and bloody, some he grabbed and crushed against the ground. Some he picked up by the head in one hand and simply squeezed until their heads turned to pulp in his hand, but one poor creature seemed to get the worst treatment, he grabbed it's neck with one arm and threw it forwards before chasing after it, leaping into the air he landed on it's chest, forcing it to the ground and riding it across the concrete, swiftly grinding it away to nothing more than a blood stain on the ground with bits of brain and internal organs littering the street. Another demon managed to claw his right hand side and Shizuo dropped to a knee with a grunt, swinging an arm around he caught the demon and sent it flying into it's kin, but more demons were closing in now, sensing his weakness.
"NO!" he snarled, swinging an arm in front of him, warding off the demons, he would not let himself die here. Not tonight, not this close to that house... He would not let chance allow his corpse to be witnessed in the pale moonlight. He had to survive, he had promised himself that this would be his last contract, his last one whilst he had enough money to serve himself. "I won't die here, not tonight..." he growled as he clenched a fist, picking himself up and standing, shying his wounded side away from his opponents "Come on!" he roared as he rushed forwards again "You bastards!" he fell upon the demons, once more...

(Dori)
It had taken me a long time to wrestle the kid into coming home, but he finally managed it. Sininen is pouting in the head lock I put him as we get closer to where our mother is doubt sleeping at, that is until we run into hoard of demons.
"Crap," I release my twin and curl my fists, next to me Sini summons his sword. "Ready?"
"Yeah," A blue haired head bobs and we rush forward, knowing that if this many demons are close to home that mom is in danger... And we're not gonna let her get hurt unsuspecting!
(Sini)
Dori mainly fights from the outskirts while I drive my blade close to the heart of the mass, a flash of movement reaches my gaze and I pause when I see a man fighting against these demons. If I could put the expression on my face into words they would have to be, 'Uuuuuhhhh... wat?!'
But these demons seem to be hungry for something tonight. And it ain't gonna be me or anyone else here! So I swing hard at one that comes a raining down from above, "Batter's up!" And watch as Dori hits it with his darkness, it fading from our combined efforts. Good.
Next demon now...

Shizuo wa plowing through the hordes when he noticed two more people enter the fight. His first instinct is that they were innocents who couldn't defend themselves, and he growled in frustration at the prospect of having to explain all of this to someone. But then he saw a head of blue hair "Aqua..?" was his first initial thought, but the hair was different, the figure wads slightly shorter, it suddenly struck him who it was. He growled again, this time angry at these demons posing a threat, but then he realised that Sini had no idea who he was despite them having met only once. He may recognise his face but that would make little difference to the blonde haired halfer. He knew who these kids were.
Retreating backwards he started to clear an area around their trinity. Elbowing a demon in the face, he knocked it back before reaching out and wrapping a gloves hand around a sign displaying the speed limit on this strip of road, he growled and pulled, wrenching the sign and the concrete holding it into the ground upwards and into his grasp. He held it like some sort of war hammer, aiming to crush the head of any demons that came to close.

He was on his way 'home', to where he'd set up in an abandoned building in the area, when everything turned strange, and then they began to swarm, hideous, twisted, malformed creatures.
Noise? he wondered, but no - these bore no resemblance whatsoever to the negative beings that plagued his Shibuya. These were something else, beings that he could only give one word to name.
Demons.
He spread his wings; it was dark, no one around to notice or care, and he needed a better grasp on the situation. He saw a man, tearing into the creatures with strength that was beyond inhuman - not even Officer-class Reapers could manage that kind of physical power. It was awe-inspiring.
Two more joined in - kids, not much older than Joshua appeared to be. They, too, possessed interesting levels of strength, their abilities close to what he knew as Imagination, but different, somehow, less refined. He returned to the fray, feeling a small measure of power return to him in the midst of the struggle, as if, somehow, connected to the UG.
Good. Enough to be useful. He called on that small glimmer, now, and channeled it into a strike at one of the demon-creatures, sending it flying backwards.
Excellent.

Seemingly out of nowhere, a sword swooped down from the sky and impaled itself within the concrete of the road, an eastern katana intricate in its design and appearing to be made of the highest quality of steel. Some of the demons around the group backed off suspiciously but pushed forwards and around the blade deciding that it was no threat. And then came Kyoshiro.
He dropped from the sky and landed feet first on the head of a demon and slammed its face into the ground and practically turned it into paste. He had his arms crossed and an eyebrow raised behind his glasses, the demons once again paused and cocked their heads as he reached out almost casually and grasped the sword by it's hilt and wrenched it out of the ground almost as if it were only lodged in foam. Behind him, Sir Givven appeared and switched into a ball of steel grey energy, visible to all, with a small black crusaders cross along the front.
Kyoshiro took the ball in hand and it morphed into a mask, which he raised up to his face and lodged over it. Suddenly, his stance changed, he held the sword in his right hand at an angle that didn't suit the blade, his left arm was positioned as if he held a shield and he glared across at the demons, squatting slightly. "Face me!" he roared, with a two-toned voice, the accent and tone of Kyoshiro, and the British accent of the spirit. The demons rushed.

(Sini)
Okay, so first the blond guy clears out like ten demons, an explosion comes from above, and some guy comes taunting on the demons. What a night! Even if the fight isn't over, but just then I hear a shout, no make that a cry of anger, come from one direction I didn't want to hear it.
I look to Dori, he nods and we both quickly slip off into the shadows, slaying any demons that followed us...
(Aqua)
Okay, it would of been just fine to have fighting happening so close to her house normally if: A. Someone told her about it. And if B. She hadn't just, earlier that night, gotten a call telling her that her kids had ran back home. Now she was just packing a bag to go running out and looking for them when she had heard Sini's voice shout, "Batter's up!" And now, oh now...
Now she's furious!
When she finds her kids she's so gonna... gonna... Her eyes widen when she takes in the battlefield, quickly scanning it for any signs of her babies. They seemed to have scooted, well that's fine by her.
With her blade in her hand, she rushes into the fray, using her frustration and anger to power her swings. But of course once she sees a certain blond she grumbles under her breath, but calls out to him, "Shizuo! What on earth is going on here?!"

Shizuo didn't know which shocked him more, the appearance of this winged boy, the appearance of this uniformed warrior with the sword, the ball of energy he had summoned and turned into a maski, the swift dissapearance of Sini and Dori or the raging appearance of their mother. In all honesty, he wasn't sure which scared him the most either. Swinging the concrete laden stop sign, he sent a demon flying off, before it landed and scraped across the floor. Edging closer to Aqua he decided now to answer her question "Demon crossing.." he said, stating the obvious "Listen, Aqua, Sini and Dori were just here and I tried to get to them-" he cut himself off with a swing of his sign.
"I tried to get to them, but they slipped off just now!"

This town never had a quiet moment... Well, it did for a moment. But it wasn't a very interesting moment either. I have found myself always wandering this town. Nothing ever really felt the same twice. But.. it didn't help that these... "Crossings," as the locals called them, kept occuring. And their roars were audible from across the Outskirts. They were clearly being beaten by the sounds of it, but... Well, curiosity killed the cat! ((Haha.)) I couldn't help but investigate.
It looks like the Crossing was still occuring when I came upon a blonde man in a... bartender's outfit. I stayed out of view for the moment, on a building top, observing. I didn't know if they were enemies or not... Better safe than sorry, eh? There was also a silvery-haired boy with magnificent white wings. A blue-haired woman with a strange sword. I sigh. "What is with all the weird-colored hair in this town?" I mutter to myself. But I was moreso concerned with their alignment, whether they were dangerous or not... I'd stay here for now.

Kyoshiro was bulling his way through the demons, slicing through them with the sharpened edge of his sword like a hot knife through butter. He heard others making conversation behind him, but right now that didn't bother him, let them talk, he was one with Sir Givven right now. The Templar was within his mind, controlling his actions with a spectral guiding hand. He never felt as alive when he was connected with the spirit, he had access to all of his emotions, all of his memories, his past. All of it was at his fingertips right now. But most of all, his skill.
To say that the knight had no skill in weapons would be downright dishonorable. Only the best of the best became Templar's, and Kyoshiro had been drawn to that skill for when it came into a fight. The demons were now pushing him back, he wished that he had a shield, Alistair relied on combat with both shield and sword and the young officer was no doubt at a disadvantage without the skill of his spirit. He could feel Sir Givven guiding his hand towards his chest, so he followed it as if it were law, he withdrew some of the spirit and realized what the knight was doing.
At a slight cost of some of his skill, Kyoshiro could form the energy within his hand into a spirit shield. With a slight manipulation of his mind and fingers, tied in with Alistair's memories, Kyoshiro formed a heater shield that was the exact size and weight of the shield the knight was used to. He could feel the spirit nodding in agreement at the new shield and grasped it tight, before breaking back into the fray, now fully armed.

There were so many of them - people with extraodinary abilities, abilities that shouldn't exist in a RealGround like this one; but, then, was this truly a RealGround? This area, at least, felt like an UnderGround... No. Neither term was correct; this world was different from his.
He pulled out his phone; perhaps he could channel some of his regained energy through it, similar to the way he did so back home. A flash - not the same, but it did seem to at least damage the demons. Good. Now, to see about the other ability...
Sliding was the simplest of his powers; changing his location was nothing compared to slipping between worlds. With a little extra effort, and a small but significant portion of his personal energy, he could also slide others... with concentration, even enemies.
"Come here!" he cried, quickly shifting his enemies' position to better match his. They were disoriented from the move - an advantageous side-effect - and he grinned, lashing out with am empowered strike that sent one or two demons sprawling to the ground.

Still using her anger to fuel a lust for blood, she just nods to Shizuo as her sword lashes out as an extension of herself. She had just successfully stab, decapitate, and slice a demon respectively for motion, they each falling, dying at her feet. She spared none the freedom of a quick death as frustrated growl escapes her clenched teeth and she glances around the battlefield.
Things seem to be hectic and not going down anytime soon. And the only reason this seems to piss her off is because her children are somewhere, out in the distance. They know crossings happen not in the singulars here, but in the multiples. Looking around she spots a place she could jump.
Her feet move her away from Shizuo and onto a boulder, to a demon's head, and into the air. Timing her movements fluidly she jumps at the same time a demon does and she twists around and turns her blade so the when she comes raining down on it the momentum will cut through it, leaving it to die in two pieces. With a little throwing of her weight onto the blade as well she manages this and she lands.
She lets out a slightly frustrated huff and she whacks a demon away from her. Mind slipping, slipping, slipping, gone completely into red vision mode. Her fear, frustration, and pure RAGE filling her body and movements as she takes care of her own set of demons.
Wait.
Did I say fear?
No, she's fearless.
She's anger.
She's rage.
She's hatred.
She is darkness inside a human vessel, her movements practically changed completely from her normal fighting style.
Her mind knows no caution, freely taking deep hits and just getting back up. Every time she's knocked down she just keeps on fighting.
Fighting.
The perfect suicide soldier.
Yes.
The perfect soldier.
That's what Dia use to mockingly call her whenever she lost it, that being the only way he knew how to drag her back. Bring her back from the... Darkness inside her.
"JUST DIE ALREADY!!!" Her scream of malice is let loose as she cuts down another demon, this one actually had proven difficult for her and that's not satisfying, nope, not at all. The one thing she could never allow herself to be right now is weak... And it seems as her blows do less and less damage, she's not going to get her wish...

A black, white and blonde blur bulled past Aqua and rammed itself into the demon, which was sent sliding backwards. Shizuo placed a hand against the ground and skidded to a stop just ahead of Aqua, he knew what it was like to fight in such a rage, he did in on a common basis. He knew that you could hurt people, people you didn't mean to hurt and that had an effect on a person, one that was both physical and mental, and he wasn't about to put Aqua through that, not if he could help it. But he didn't want to smother her either, he saw no reason to pull her out of a fight she had an advantage in.
"You wanna' fight?" he growled at the demon as he stood up to his full height and threw his arms down to his sides "Then fight me!" he roared as he clenched his fists and looked up at the demon before looking over his shoulder at Aqua, they were definitely in this fight together.
He looked around at the others fighting, the purple haired Kyoshiro who he had met once before was handling himself well, plowing through his enemies like a scythe through wheat, swinging his sword around as if it were a thicker blade and bashing enemies that got too close with his shield.
The blonde haired kid who had got involved just after Shizuo had was also holding his own pretty well, all were acting with sufficient skill that Shizuo felt he needn't get involved in any other fights save this one, once again looking up at the big demon his gold flecked eyes seemed to shimmer as he raked a foot through the dirt, looking down at the ripped and bloodied side of his bartender suit, he growled in anger.

Aqua blinks before growling under her breath. Her sword cutting down one more demon before she gets a grip on herself and can manage, "I... Can't believe... You-you do... THIS... Every night!" The blunt side of her blade throwing a demon away from her. "You... Really are... Aren't gonna be--" She hits a demon back from Shizuo's back before ending with. "Allowed to fight alone at night anymore!!!"
Her fear is back yes, her anger may have just brunt out, but she knows that when you fight... You fight to win... besides... Sini and Dori--
"Right... The twins," She mumbles to herself and whacks a demon's head, knocking it out cold. That one was for Sini and this, She twists around and sends a demon flying into the with a hit, a few moments later she hacks it into the ground when it lands. Is for Dori.
She'll have to fin them as soon as this fight blows over...

"Ironically!" he called out as he grabbed a demon by the throat and slammed it into the floor "This was supposed to be my last one before I called it quits!" he looked back at the large demon he had attacked moments earlier and charged forwards. Leaping into the air he landed on the demon and powered it to the ground before proceeding to pummel it's face with his fists, he backed away as it tried to swipe him.
"So I suppose, it's pretty nice to have so many people celebrate my night time retirement..." he grumbled before kicking away a nearby demon.

"Good luck with that," Joshua said in a brief, uncommon moment of complete sincerity as he channeled energy into the large demon. "Some jobs are a lifetime deal..."
And some go beyond that, he thought ironically as he clicked his phone again, moving demons around to his advantage.
