Moments later, Nocturne found himself leaping across the heads of the monsters with swords swinging in hand to hold them off, as Gunk rolled across the undyed rock ground as an amorphous green sphere. At the centre of his form was Mind Master, who himself was curled into a ball, safe and sound from any physical trauma the monsters could inflict barring any stray electric bolts. Weaving past the monsters as they attempted to swarm on their ever-agile vampiric distraction, the two smashed down th

Crusaders base…A few hours had passed and the clouds in the night sky had finally started unleashing their pent-up wrath in the form of an absolute downpour. Thomas expected his nightly emergence from his dorm to grab something to eat to go as they had been going for the last six days: entirely without incident. Even though he shared a room with Gunk, frequented the training room around the same time as James, and continued to tutor Suzy in combat skills, the words he spoke were limited to basic requests or flatly spoken instructions. When he ventured beyond his bedroom for food, he was usually met by the sight of the Crusaders going about their typical activities in the living area. As such, what he was greeted with tonight as he wandered out of his dorm was particularly striking. Suzy, Gunk and James were all in sofa chairs, turned around to face the couch upon which Hikaru sat with his hands on his lap and his back straight like the teacher's favourite student. Andrew stood sippin

Central Park…Sunlight bounced between the lightly-tremoring leaves, the branches blown by the light breeze that was passing through. Joggers and walkers of dogs moved up and down the edges of the cement pathway. In the middle of said pathway, Kon and Lizzy walked slowly, Lizzy resting her head on Kon's relaxed shoulder with her arms wrapped around his waist. Lizzy kept her eyes closed, letting Kon guide her steps and allowing the sun to fall upon her skin as she fastened her arms to his to his toned torso."Y'know, I never realised you had such a nice body." She playfully complimented, to no response. "Do you work out?" Her affectation changed to one of minor worry. "Sweetie?" She opened her eyes to look up at Kon's face. Rather than enjoying the walk with his girlfriend, he was gazing at the ground, his expression set in stone and his eyes serving as windows to the racing interiors of his mind. The way his brows dropped over his straight-staring yellow eyes, combined with how his li

Jigoku…The landscape was formed wholly of the blackest brimstone and detailed by the hottest hellfire. Beneath the towering islands of rock, upon which unclothed Oni roamed about, a thick layer of lava bubbled brightly. The twisting, hovering pathways of solidified magma all led to the largest island in the realm: the throne room of Akuma. The throne glowed with orange veins as the massive figure of Akuma slouched discontentedly upon it, an enigma to those who'd hazard a guess what he was thinking. The room in which he resided was made of the same brimstone as that which formed the outside but was significantly thicker. Akuma himself was adorned in an unconfined, blood red cloak that sat over spiked, pitch black armour. His gloves were form-fitting over his clawed fingers, with his legs and forearms visible as he sat. His helmet was barely visible in the shadow beneath his hood, but his glowing crimson eyes were impossible to avoid. An Oni, much closer to a human in proportions and g

Los Angeles…An eerie silence sat over the living room, yet nothing seemed unbecoming of the normal behaviour of the area's inhabitants from a purely visual standpoint. Gunk, now thawed out, sat on the couch watching TV, with Suzy squished in next to his bulky emerald form, while Thomas sat on the sofa beside them, the side of his head laying upon his knuckles with utterly unenthused disinterest. In the kitchen, Kon leant his back against the bench with his hands in his pockets while Lizzy, seated on a stool, placed the side of her turned head on her arms that were folded atop the table. From a sheer glance, it all looked like a typical night in with the Crusaders, but anyone actually standing in the room at the time could tell that there was more to all of it than met the eye. A strange tension hung around each of them, comprised of words unsaid and actions drastic. It hadn't dissipated by the time the door opened and Hikaru and James stepped through, now changed back into their civi

New Mexican desert…Black DSA Post-Event Clean-Up vehicles surrounded the area around the collapsed pile of rock and steel that was once a Hermanium mine. The sky above kept traces of blue as the stars became visible, one distant twinkle at a time. A DSA medical team worked on fixing up the battered Nick, applying bandages and sewing stitches all over his topless body as he sat atop the gurney. Kenseijin held his helmet under his arm as he watched Jimmy Nomad talk with Nick from afar. Jimmy himself had his goggles pulled up to his forehead and his neckerchief below his chin while he conversed. Kenseijin bore witness as Jimmy shuffled about uncomfortably saying his piece, and carefully observed Nick giving his response, before smiling at the sight of the two hugging warmly. Not long after, Jimmy had made his way over to him, a contented smile on his face."So?" Hikaru began his inquisition. "What did you say?""Well, I started with an apology, for reasons that should be obvious." Jimmy

New Mexican desert…Nine minutes were left on the clock for Jimmy Nomad as he prowled across the large rock in search of El Bandido. His search ended when Bandido tumbled out from beneath the formation, turned around as he stood, and fired up at his opponent. Jimmy spun sideways, narrowly avoiding the bullets, and leapt forward off the rock to land behind a smaller stone structure. He grunted as he hit the ground shoulder-first, but he managed to quickly pull himself up to lean his back against the rock he chose for cover. El Bandido swiftly found protection for himself as he reloaded his revolvers, noting the low amount of ammo he carried in his coat. He shot up from behind the rock with his weapons raised, but the moment he did so, an already standing Jimmy Nomad shot him in the right shoulder. In a spin, Bandido fell to the ground, a scarlet mist bursting off the black coat upon the bullet's impact. Jimmy sprinted to his fallen target as fast as possible, bounding over the rock his
