Hell Down Under [UE, Medium, NDE]

[Kitai Yoru]

It was a strange feeling that overcame Kitai. It wasn't the normal rage that he felt, pulsating in the back of his skull, thought it was still definitely there. Nor was it the pride that the 'sneaky' chose to him in an attempt to further bring the group together, that only ever tugged at his mind from time to time. No, what he felt was akin to sorrow, the one emotion he constantly tried to drown out with everything else he put himself through, in a desperate attempt to hold it back. Jack narrated, not sounding quite as smug as he normally would.

Kitai might be completely insane, but he wasn't a fool. Unless he was. By choice. 'Just quit while you're not that far behind...' Kitai growled in his mind at Jack. Kitai knew that the only reason that 'Marcus' had even bothered to get in the van was so that he could keep the group whole, like Kitai had been doing. The difference between the two, was that Marcus actually cared about the goggled-knight, very much unlike Kitai, who only insulted him every chance he got. Not that he was sorry for it in anyway.

But now Kitai had a problem. There was no way that the other fullbringer would stay with him. No, he had seemed desperate to have their older associate join them, even going to far as to flash something at him for what he assumed to be added symbolism, not that he could see what he did, only that he did it. In response, the knight all but turned his nose up at the offer and left. Kitai had been watching from the driver's seat, trying to make it look like he wasn't. He really did hate pride. But now he had a choice.

It wasn't a choice of keeping the fullbringer in shotgun, because he knew that there was a snowball's chance that he would actually stay with Kitai. No, the choice was to make the other fullbringer feel guilty about it, since he was the only one who showed any form of caring. He had debated for a moment, and if Marcus left before that moment, Kitai would just leave. If fullbringer was still there, Kitai would just tell him to go, having a much weaker smile, still looking creepy in spite of its diminished size. He really hated that punk knight.

He really didn't want the ninja to leave, but making him stay was a bad idea all around. Making him guilty over his leaving would be just as bad. He couldn't force him to stay without a fight breaking out, throwing the mission off course further than it already was, thanks to his and the knight's actions. He really didn't feel like coming up with anything for the guilt trip, but he'd like to think he was above such a petty action, even though he wasn't. So after the ninja left, Kitai would find himself driving towards the first area on the map, with only himself to keep him company.

"I'm alone again. Why do I have to be alone?" He said to himself, shaking slightly, clutching the steering wheel with more force than necessary. How he hated solitude. It gave him time to remember. Remember this things he tried so hard to forget. He was shaking violently, before Jill stepped in, feeling the pressure just as bad as Kitai. "O-KAY, time fa mistar radio! Heh, heh, heh..." Her usual laugh was strained, lackinging in everything that it normally held. The radio started playing some song that barely fought off the flood of memories that threatened to burst out. Man she hoped her energy sensing picked up something to kill soon.

[Marcus Cole]

Sigfried didn't even acknowledge Marcus's effort to silently communicate with him. He just turned around and left, like a stubborn child. And Marcus was angry about it, but more than anything, he was disappointed. This team thing wasn't working, and he couldn't do anything about that. Silent Marcus. Mute Marcus. Rusty Marcus who's been out of action for far too long only to have his first mission fail due to a lack of teamwork. Kazura didn't deserve any of that.

So Marcus would have to force as much teamwork as he could between the individual who needed it most: Sigfried. Kitai was as strong as he was crazy, so the man would be fine. Just as Marcus prepared to exit the vehicle, he looked to his left and saw Kitai with what resembled a genuine smile. He was told to go after Sigfried, and Marcus replied with a hesitant nod. "Ugh, God dammit..." he muttered to himself as he bolted out the door and jogged to catch up to Kitai, despising the fact that they would have to travel on foot.

As Marcus left, however, Kitai would pick up on the other man's voice, but he wouldn't quite hear the words that Marcus said. Instead, he'd most likely wonder in confusion why Marcus had confessed his love to Justin Bieber so randomly.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Marcus left the car and ran after Siegfried, leaving Kitai on his own. So that meant that two employees were headed to Miami and one was headed to Toowoomba. The trips to both of the destinations would be uneventful, unless Marcus and Siegfried got into some sort of argument or spat along the way. Kitai had a shorter distance to travel, and was in the motorized vehicle, so he'd arrive first. The streets of Toowoomba were completely empty. Nobody but Kitai was driving at this time, and not a single set of blinds were open. All the houses and buildings were completely shut out from the outside world. Something had spooked the civilians into holing themselves up indoors.

As Kitai passed a supermarket, he would see that nobody had bothered to show up for work today. The lights were all off and the doors were shut and had been locked with a heavy chain. Something really strange was going on here... As he continued to drive, all of a sudden something darted out in front of his vehicle. With no time to stop, the fullbringer would hit it and send it skidding away. Whatever it was had some sort of fur all over its body, but that was the end of it's similarities with an earthly animal. With glowing red eyes and fangs the size of full grown corn cobs, this creature couldn't even keep it's mouth shut due to the size of its teeth. The six legs and the fact that it was getting up after being hit by a minivan was also a hint that it didn't belong in this town.

Suddenly, the creature radiated reiatsu. There had been nothing coming from it and then suddenly it existed to Kitai's spiritual senses. Whether he knew of the creature or not, it was called a Hason. A beast straight out of Hell. With a call that sounded like a mixture of a bark, a scream, and whale song, the Hason moved to attack the giant metal enemy before it that would dare strike it. Jaws hinging open like a snake, the large fanged beast moved to bite a huge hole in the grill of the minivan.

Meanwhile, Marcus and Siegfried would reach the very small town of Miami along the eastern coast of Australia. It was peaceful at the moment, with a nice salty breeze coming from the Pacific Ocean to the east. The town had a police station, a bar, a few restaurants, and various other civil services such as libraries and such. Siegfried probably had a good reason for aiming for this town and had full reign of what to do in it at the moment as there didn't seem to be much going on at the moment. Or, Marcus could try to take control of the group, that is, if his voice didn't fail him again.

Btw, guys, just let me know if you want enemies more scaled to your Class rather than the initial 7-5 estimate.

[Marcus Cole]

Marcus didn’t talk to Sigfried at all during their trip. He had nothing to say, and if he did try to strike up a conversation – something Marcus almost never did – the curse that warped his words would still make it impossible to verbally communicate. Therefore, silence was his best option. When they walked into the city, Marcus kept up that silent act, keeping an eye out for various sites or people.

The first building that stood out to him was a police station. If their were reports of attacks in the city, the police must have some type of information that could benefit the Uzaki Enterprise duo. Marcus pointed at the building to let Sigfried know what he was thinking. He then walked in through the entrance, pulled out his phone, typed out a phrase, and held it up to the front desk, where a couple police officers sat. The text on the screen was short and straightforward, much like Marcus himself.

‘I heard that there have been reports of mysterious attacks. Can you tell me anything about them?’

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

The Australian police looked at Marcus with incredulity. "Who are you? Don't you know that walking into a Police station and just asking random questions is more likely to get you thrown in the lockup instead of get you the answers you want? Get out of here, kid. Go home." One of the Police officers that Marcus had addressed did not appear to be having a good day. Paperwork was strewn across his desk, most of it only half filled out and more than one possessing circular coffee stains. Bags under his eyes and a twitch in his hand suggested sleep deprivation and possible caffeine overdose, at least at a minor level. The other officer looked equally overworked, but was at least a little bit organized. Marcus seemed to be hitting a wall, but it wasn't yet a complete wash. There could be more information just within reach if he knew where to look or the right questions to ask.

[Kitai Yoru]

Kitai managed to make it to a town with minimal mental breakdowns, only able to get through it all with the burning determination to have one question answered: Why did his electric ninja teammate love Justin Bieber? Yes, truly there was no other reason that he managed to get through that troubling ordeal he was tasked with. That and e wanted to kill some things. He really wanted the chance to slaughter the Koalas from Hell. But regardless, his nerves started to settle upon reaching the town, where he could sense other humans thanks to his limited skill with energy sensing.

"Hehehehee, finally! Heha, people that I can scare!" He was itching to get along with this mission. He didn't blame Marcus for his decision, but he was upset at being rejected. 'Because that caring twat, Kitai had to travel without another person to talk to or be near. How tragic. The gluttonous beast hated being alone, it was one of the few things the swine feared. Winding up alone in the end, with no one around him as he bleed out, no one to help him. Just like when he was five years old.' Kitai was hit was a flashback of his childhood.

His body trembled violently, crushing the sections of the steering wheel that his hands gripped, as his smile fell off his face faster than a stone through water. "....Jack." Any joviality, twisted or otherwise, was void from his voice. If anything, his voice was that of a man who had a hateful rage, one that was barely restrained. Then she chimed in. 'Aww, does baby Kitai need a hug? Still scared a bein by ya self, huh? Kuukuku~, an ain't dat funny, cause they isn't even yer own parents, ER YA OWN PAST! HEAHAAHAHAHAA!' Jill told him, twisting the proverbial knife deeper in his gut.

The wrathful man was about to dive into his own mind to show them exactly how much he appreciated their words, when his lack of attention to the road caused him to hit something. He slammed on the breaks, jerking the car forwards, and the two quarter of the steering wheel off. His focus snapped back into reality, as he suddenly detected an unholy presence in front of him. It was the dog-thing that he hit. It had six legs, massively oversized teeth, weird fur, and glowing red eyes. And then it yet out a demonic cry, as it bit into his borrowed van.

Kitai didn't grin as he normally would. No, instead he simply unbuckled his seatbelt, took the keys out, opened the car door, and walked to his stress relief for the next ten minutes. The thing backed away from him as he approached, ripping out the chunk of bumper that it had just bitten off. Kitai let out a snarl, showing off his worn and damaged teeth, as the beast let out the same unearthly cry, as it leapt to strike down the fullbringer. And boy would it regret that mistake. Kitai threw a haymaker at the beast angled downwards, using about a quarter of his strength, dropping the monster faster than bullet, but not killing it.

The beast was knocked to the ground and stunned, doing its best to try and recover from the strike, but Kitai wouldn't let it. Walking to the monster's side, Kitai lifted his right leg up over the beast, placing his foot over its lower back, and brought it down, with more strength then he used to punch it down. It yelped in pain, as the human effectively crippled the unearthly animal. But he didn't stop there. Once the animal was effectively immobilized, Kitai smashed his foot into the middle of its back, merely holding it in place.

The monster tried biting at the man, but was met with the back of Kitai's sleeved hand, slapping it away with enough force to hurt, maybe knock out a few teeth, but not kill. Grabbing the beast's middle left leg, he started pulling. He pulled slowly, taking a sick satisfaction as the beast howled and squirmed in pain. Eventually the leg came off, and Kitai started laughing, his crooked smile back in place, now stretching cheekbone to cheekbone. He got off the beast, and it instantly began trying to flee. But in its disabled state, it was a meaningless act.

As soon as it got three feet away, or before if he saw any freaky portal, the demented fullbringer would bring the leg he ripped off down onto the monster's back, striking it over, ad over. He knocked it around like a ragdoll, making sure not to kill it. He waited until it could no longer stand, before pulling out a plasma blade from his right sleeve. He cauterized any open wounds that he made, including the one where the missing limb was. He also sliced off its remaining legs, and even cutting off its lower jaw.

The monster of a man collected the body parts and threw them into the back of his van, and dragged the torso of the hason by the neck, and tossed it in as well, making it land on the pile of its own legs. Kitai had a look of dark pleasure across his lower face, with his upper face being hidden from view. He was sweating slightly from the effort, and returned his attention to the town around him. "ALRIGHT!" He yelled at the top of his lungs to the town around him. "GET YOUR SORRY A$$ES OUT HERE, SO ONE OF YOU CAN POINT ME TO WHERE I CAN DESTROY THIS EVIL ONCE AND FOR ALL!" He hoped that someone would come out and give him directions, otherwise this woulsd take longer than he wanted.

[Marcus Cole]

Marcus sighed, disappointed that his lack of social skills and strange curse on his speech prevented him from getting any information through diplomatic means. Then again, Marcus was never really a diplomat. He was an assassin first and foremost, and it was time to fall back on his deadly skillset. Without another word, Marcus walked right out of the police station, and the officers were under the impression that they were done with the awkward young man.

But Marcus’s eyes were busy as he exited the building. He pinpointed and memorized the location of every surveillance camera inside the building and outside as he left. Once he was out of their sight, he would flex his spiritual energy just enough to send the officers within the police building to sleep. He then sent kunai into each of the outdoor cameras, allowing him to get into position and send more kuani through the glass building doors into the interior cameras. Once he recovered all his blades, he would make his way behind the front desk of the station and begin reviewing the paperwork that the two officers had just been examining. Perhaps they would yield some useful information.

[Kazura Uzaki]

OOC: Please refrain from narrating the actions of the enemies, Soul. Thank you. Additionally, due to Siegfried's disappearance, the estimated enemy strength is now 5-3 with a Class 2 Boss to better fit a Medium difficulty thread given the participants.

IC: The Hason was severely beaten and humiliated by the fullbringer's strength and cruelty, but there was not yet time to sit and gloat over his trophies just yet. The call from before echoed all around him as five more beasts emerged from the shadows. These Hason were bigger, too. It's almost as if Kitai had brutalized a puppy or a child, but that couldn't be true. Hell beasts didn't have the ability to procreate, at least, it was assumed that they couldn't as they were formed from the souls of sinners. Whatever the reason, five more of these creatures were now surrounding the van that dripped Infernal blood. And they were incredibly unhappy.

Meanwhile, Siegfried had walked off, uninterested in the police department. Shutting off his phone, he vanished into Australia in search of his own answers to the cause of these strange occurrences. Marcus, however, had chosen the path of stealth mixed with a touch of violence in assaulting the police department's cameras and putting the inhabitants to sleep with his pressure. While perusing the paperwork left on the front desk he would see various files on missing persons reports, claims of insurance fraud, as well as a few homicide investigations. He could read as much as he liked, but it seemed that he wasn't the only one awake. There was the noise of a file basket being knocked over behind him, scattering papers all over the floor and making quite a ruckus.

[Marcus Cole]

Marcus wasn’t very interested in sitting and reading in the middle of the police station. No, he planned on getting out just as quickly as he had gotten in. Marcus’s eyes scanned over the headings of the papers, picking out those regarding missing peoples and homicide reports, leaving the reports about fraud behind. Just as he was prepared to leave, Marcus heard the sound of rustling from another room. He refused to risk detection, so the fullbringer reacted instantaneously.

The lights within the room suddenly went out, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass. Each light was destroyed by one of Marcus’s kunai. With the room dark, Marcus was dead silent, moving to blend into the shadows behind him. His stealth was not what it used to be, but as long as he didn’t move and quieted his breath, he could hide himself well enough to see what spiritual being may possibly be nearby. If the individual were hostile, he would be ready to strike.

[Kitai Yoru]

Kitai heard the monsters approach before he actually saw them. When he actually did spot the five though, he grinned a murderous smile. "MORE FOR THE SLAUGHTER! YAHAHAHAHA!" He was about to charge in, when Jill decided it was her turn. 'YEAH RIT, YA DUM F*$K! IT'S MAMA'S TURN TA PLAY!' A flare of pain rocketed through his head, as Jill tried to switch in. The pain was like a knife to his left eye, twisting and turning with each tone shift in her voice. It felt like his head was going to burst. He continued to smile in spite it all.

"GET OUT OF MY HEAD YOU WHORE OF A HARPY!" He yelled, his teeth were grit in pain and frustration. Kitai ran forward, with his eye starting to go bloodshot. These mongrels, unlike the last one, actually looked like they'd put up a half decent fight, and he wasn't willing to let the old slut steal it from him. 'I SAID GIMME DA BODY YOU FAT F$%K!' She screeched in his mind, dragging Kitai inwards. Unfortunately, that left her with a very pissed off Kitai to fight with. 'I'LL KILL YOU, YOU DUMB B*%CH!'

"And while Kitai is away, Jack comes out to play~, huehuehuehue~! He said, taking over the body, as he continues charging the mad beasts. He swings the crude weapon, garnish weapon at the repulsive mutts. I don't know which is worse, a man of my calibur using the weapon of a neanderthal, of how displeasing to the senses you and your species are." The man says to the Hell hounds with a sneer, while still somehow maintaining a grin. While he ran towards them, he took the time to slick his hair back with his left hand.

Jack would be surprised at how much faster the dogs were over the last one. Still, his own speed was still superior, as was his strength. The prideful persona would cut through the dogs as they attacked, but due to the numbers, one or two might get past his guard. If they did, the madman would make to block with his arms, preferably his left, and use his flex defence to stop them, before kindly removing their heads from their bodies. If nothing insane happened, like their teeth having an rs factor to them, and puncturing his skin, he would toss the corpses into the van, after splitting their skulls in two. Double tap.

Once that was all said and done, Jack would whip out his cell phone, narrating his actions while doing so, and send a text over to Marcus, sending an obnoxiously long text. "Huehuehuehue~ Oh you must be so jealous of me right now. I, the one with the van, the air conditioning, and six bodies of some degenerate Hell mutts in the back of my transportation. So what have you done? Nothing? Oh-hohoo~! If you admit how much better I am in simple EVERY way possible, I mightEven send you the coordinates to my next location. But you better hurry, my generosity only goes so far~ He said, taunting the Justin Bieber loving ninja, who has almost as big a comic book fetish as Kazura, while grinning smugly down at the phone.[/color]"

'Who the flying F*&K SAID THE FORBIDDEN NUMBER!?' Kitai said, kicking Jack out of the driver's seat. He looked down at his phone and palmed his face. Of course Jack bothered with his teammate. His craving to flaunt his ego left a feeling of disgust for the pride. He needed other people to feel better over as much as he hated them. The only goal Jack ever has is to be better than others. He'd gladly burn down a city, just to save them, and rub it in their faces. Jack was nothing but a husk for pride and envy. How Connor had that much, Kitai would never know, but the two emotions are some of the fastest growing ones. Kitai would pack up after that, and head South, hoping to find more bodies to add to the pile.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

OOC: This post has been bothering me for two weeks now, so I'm just going to push it forwards.

As the lights in the Police station shattered, Marcus would hear a large thud. "Owww... My head... Oh no, where did my glasses go? I know it's dark, but I can't see well without my glasses..." Without any form of Energy Sensory, Marcus would have a hard time sensing who the person was in the room. Whoever they were, they had resisted his held back gravitational pressure, but they didn't really sound threatening. Especially if they didn't find their glasses. The choice of what to do was up to Marcus, but as is there were no lights in the building and there wasn't any way of fixing them as they had been Kunaid.

---

Kitai managed to kill the Hell Beasts no problem as they didn't really seem to have any abilities or powers that would hinder him from killing them all with his bare hands. He sent his... wild text full of multiple personalities to Marcus and hopped back in his van. He'd probably look backwards at his catch... only to find nothing in the van but ashes. The Hason had slowly immolated, turning into ash without really setting fire to the rest of the van. Thankfully. So without even trophies to show for his encounter, the option for what to do next was up to the Fullbringer.

[Marcus Cole]

"Owww... My head... Oh no, where did my glasses go? I know it's dark, but I can't see well without my glasses..."

There was someone else in there with Marcus, a spiritually capable individual who could resist his gravitational pressure. The fullbringer couldn’t be sure how strong the stranger was, so he cautiously decided to avoid a confrontation until he knew what he was dealing with. After all, he was excellent when it came to avoiding detection. The Uzaki Enterprise assassin could sneak in and out of the most secure facilities without anyone knowing he was there. He melted into the shadows. The darkness isn’t just his ally. He was born in the darkness, molded by i-

Bzzzzt.

Motherfu-

Marcus didn’t even have time to finish that thought before he bolted out of the building. The vibration of his phone from Kitai’s text certainly gave his location away, so he needed to reposition once more so that he might investigate who the stranger in the police station was. Moving as silently and quickly as a Tesla, Marcus sped out of the police station, scaled its walls with a mix of his acrobatic ability and air ground, and watched the ground before the police station from above in case the stranger left in his pursuit.

The text he received would have to wait. Marcus was hoping that it was Kazura reaching out with an update, but if that were the case, the CEO that Marcus admired so much wouldn’t get a response for a few more minutes.

[Kitai Yoru]

Kitai stared at the pile of ash that had once been a vehicle. He felt something at that moment, something that he hadn't felt in a good long time; it was rage. Not the typical generic anger that he felt near constantly. No, this was genuine wrath, hate burning at the front of his mind, warping his vision, beginning to tunnel it. He could feel his skin crawl from the emotion. The blood rushing to his ears deafened him. A hateful snarl slowly spread across his face, revealing gnashed teeth. His red eyes were glaring at nothing with a burning intensity.

"YOU DISGUSTING WORMS!" He roared to the sky, clutching the sides of his head. His voice was booming and powerful, actually creating shockwaves around him. "I'LL REND THE FLESH FROM YOUR BONES! I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR SPINES! I'LL HUNT ALL YOU SPAWNS OF HELL DOWN TO THE EDGE OF THE EARTH!" Who knows how far his voice would travel with how loud he was. He raised his foot up, and slammed it down, shattering the ground beneath him, and for a sizeable distance around him in a show of strength and rage.

He was shaking in his anger, though it wasn't merely from losing his transportation. It was a good number of things, being snubbed by his coworkers not helping matters. His fight involving Takura and that demonic mod soul, with him unable to beat those two burned him inside. Losing his fullbring to that pink haired THING, after struggling not to crash the plane he had taken. And most of all, losing to that Heretic, and losing Connor. He strong only in body, and he wasn't able to fight against others equal to him.

He hated them all.

With another loud roar, rippling the air around him, he leapt out of the town, showing off his impressive strength one last time for the seemingly empty town. He didn't care which way he was headed now. All he wanted to do is lose himself to the mindless violence that he was known for, to kill these beasts that deserve to remain forgotten to time. His landing would be violent, cratering the ground. He wanted to be noticed, to be seen. To be acknowledged. He figured that if he stirred up enough of a commotion, he could get something's attention. He needed vent this anger.

It didn't help that he was never truly alone either. 'Oh look, the child finally snapped. Of course the first thing he decides to do is throw a temper tantrum. Huehuehue!' 'Kukuku~, wat'd ya expect frm sumen eww eats n lovs nly is rage n eatn?' They taunted him, only fanning the flames, and they knew that all too well. Kitai's eyes darkened. "I'LL KILL YOU BOTH, YOU HEAR ME!? I'LL KILL YOU ALL!" Kitai was practically begging for something to fight, releasing his gravitational pressure to its fullest.

Marcus bolted from the Police Station as the text went off, but he didn't read it and instead waited for the girl to come out of the building. He managed to get out unheard and unnoticed, so he'd find that nobody pursued him. He would wait at the top of the station and see nothing and hear nobody come out. Whoever it was that had been in there was staying in there, apparently. And the police would be starting to wake up soon as well, so they'd probably help her find her glasses. Or whatever it is she needed them for and had been there for in the first place. Meanwhile, the text from Kitai was still there and the alert popped up again, reminding Marcus of the unread text.

Meanwhile, Kitai was on a rampage. He was thrashing and throwing a tantrum, releasing shockwaves of air and slamming his gravitational pressure down in a populated area. At least he had the decency to get out of the town first. As he shouted and waited for something strong enough to approach him, eventually a stranger would start to walk towards him without being affected by the pressure the fullbringer was throwing off. The long spiked chains, mask, and cloak would give off his race immediately.

A Saika was entering the crater.

Marcus waited for a few minutes before he decided that the girl was not threatening and probably wasn’t about to exit the building. When he checked his phone and saw Kitai’s text, he simply wrote back: ”Omw.” Marcus then did the most logical thing he could think to do. He stole a car. An unlucky individual happened to be driving nearby, and Marcus sprinted to get behind the car. He used his gravitational pressure to put the driver to sleep. Moving very quickly, he shattered the window with his kunai, unlocked the door as he ran beside the car, hopped onto the unconscious driver’s lap, and pressed the brake to stop the car.

Once Marcus got the driver out of the car and laid him down on the sidewalk, he punched the coordinates Kitai gave him into his phone’s navigations system and began driving away. Sure, he had stolen a car, some files from a police station, knocked out a few cops and a civilian, and broke some glass along the way, but hey, he was trying to save lives. Kazura would forgive him.
