Sevatheda chuckled at the man's expression at Googy's quick recovery, calmly turning around to face the girl as she was threatened. She stepped forward, closing the short distance between them and carefully caressed the girl's cheek shifting the metal from her weapons to a momentary bracelet, brushing away some of the dust that stained her cheek. "Don't be so crude, love. And threatening me with a good time?" She clicked her tongue as her free hand shifted the mask aside just enough to expose her smirk. 

 

Her next words were soft, her lips still exposed, amplifying the sincereness of what came next. "Let me end him, please. I already have an idea as to how I want to make him suffer for his transgressions." Seva stroked the girl's cheek with her thumb again before replacing her mask, straightening her spine and turning back around to face the man, holding the knife from before. She strode towards him, unperturbed by the floor being partially destroyed until she stood a few feet away from him, flicking her blade towards his chest, intending to impale a non-vital organ. 

[Thugren]

the man is severely wounded, and you feel the pin prick of intnet on the back of your neck, jsut in time to see blood splatter across your face. Standing in front of you, impaled with two bladed chains, strung up with a look of shock and terror on his face is one of the oyimadoya enforcers, his face is quickly draining of color as yukari strokes his face tenderly.

 

"Shhhh..sSHhhh."

 

she whispers, slowly retractiung her chains as the man crumbles to the floor.

 

"Itll be ok.."

 

Yukari reaches into her belt and pulls out a grenade, it is studden with metal balls and she flicks the pin.

 

"I loved going to school."

without warning, she tosses it down thehall where the man had been wounded, and an explosion rocks the hall, followed by groans of pain and agonized screams.

 

 

 

--------------

 

as you launch your attack, the man launches another, sending stalagtites across the wall  and googy chuckles.

 

"Fine fine.."

 

the little girl chuckles as she tentacles rush past, swatting the jagged stones away as your blade sinks in deep, making the man groan in pain as he goes to pull it out

[Armoured Priest]

"Uhh, thank you Yukari." He said sincerly, still surprised by her sudden appearance and saving his scaly ass from the cartel ganger that snuck up on him. Taking the wounded Soldat back towards his squad medic in an classroom they had secured earlier, he left him in the doc's care and went back into the firefight in the hallways. The Drake Patriarch followed down the hallway Yukari took, trying to keep a better eye on his surroundings unlike the sloppy work he did earlier. He wasn't always going to have someone watching his back like that. 

[Oce]

The knife melted, eluding the man's grasp for the most part as it slowly began creeping up to his neck, as Googy defended her from the rocks. The liquid metal tried to trickle into his mouth, but most of it simply went straight into his nostrils where it couldn't be denied. 

[Thugren]

the man claws at his face for several moments, trying to free himself and his eyes roll back as he falls li felessly forward, unmoving.

 

"oh hes very dead.."

 

googy says as she pats the dust off the dlicate dress she is wearing nd begins skipping to the door the brotherhood had been guarding.

 

"Oh...hohoh."

 

she says with a smile as she opens the door.

 

"Cujo!"

 

she giggles, CUJO come see this!"

to walk those halls was nostalgic. You had first met kamui here, and yukari, even yuno. Back then things had been simple. YOu remember the hallway you and kamui got into dozens of fights in with other boys , the water fountain that kamui had broken to hide a great deal of snacks and drinks. And finally.

 

yukari kicks a man through the door of a classrom and stands over him. Her eyes glass over in delusion as she remembers the day the group would soend , talking and quitly having fun after class before everyone went back to the lives of crime their families ran.

 

Becasue of this delusion, you can see that yukari doesnt notice the two men sliding up the hallway, knives and sword in hand, quietly closing the distance

[Armoured Priest]

While his impromptu trip down memory lane was interrupted with Yukari kicking the shit out of some shmuck through a door, it got him to see the threats that were trying to creep their way up to her. So of course, this agitated the black scaled varghen to the point of making him drop his usual mask of level headedness and professionalism as he started charging the two to intercept them. "Come here you sons of bitches!" Orochi growled as a challenge to the two, already swinging his Kanabo in a arch to smash them both into the lockers. If it wasn't for the blades or nearby firefight, he could easily have been reliving one of the many moments he had jumping on bullies and idiots that tried to jump his friends when they were in school.

[Oce]

Sevatheda scowled down at his corpse, dissatisfied with the amount he suffered. She figured next time the spikes would come first; they could choke on their screams. She didn't pull the metal out, condemning it as too filthy to reuse before she turned towards the girl calling for her. "Is it the cake!?"

 

She may have sounded a little too enthusiastic.

[Thugren]

the men are both taken in one swing and land in crumpled heaps across the hall, and you see yukari isnt even phased. She walks over to a desk, a familiar desk, and she sits in it, running her fingers over the surface. The words east Side boss are carved into the table, and you know all too well whos desk that was. You had sat beside that desk in class with kamui when he had resisted his father in becoming his successor. At the time, kamui had taken to leading a small gang of roughnecks , one of whom had been yourself, and another boy named kazu. YOu both ruled the school until....

 

 

a gunshot rakes down the hall, breaking you from the illusion as you can see a man in heavy armor, bearing a heavy assault rifle in his hand.

 

HIs gunfire rakes along the lockers and forces you into another class as you can see yukari remains at the desk, talking softly to herself.

 

 

----------------

 

 

you get there, and waht d oyou see.... High powered delegates. members of other clans. The bride and groom. All look at you in shock and horror and the two guards with weapons go for their handguns before letting out screams. Gioogys tendrils lash out, spearing the mans hands into the walls as the groom, the emissary from the Ohhahu crime family says.

 

'Cu....Cujo..But youre dead."

[Armoured Priest]

Again Orochi found himself thinking about the past instead of minding the present, and getting reminded of it by the sound of the automatic gunfire that roared in the hallway. Cursing at himself, he was thankful to see that Yukari was at least still inside the other classroom and out of the line of fire as her episode continued. "Well asshole, you might be bulletproof, but I doubt you're fireproof." the varghen growled to himself as flames gathered around his hands, reading himself before slipping around the corner of the door way to let loose twin gouts of flame down the hall and at the armored ganger.

[Oce]

Sevatheda strode into the open room casually, her posture remaining relaxed and indifferent to her surroundings even as the guards pulled their weapons; her gaze was firmly on the groom's. It was a bit overly intimidating and showed that the Cujo had control of the building, not the wedding party. "I've been hearing that a lot," she replied with a soft shrug of her shoulders. 

 

"People tend to make a lot of assumptions, it would seem."

[Thugren]

the man lets out a scream, his body engulfed in flame as you see the door beside him open, and yukari rams a steel rod into the side of the mans head, making him go rigid and slump as she whispers.

 

"Class is in session...ANd the principal is speaking.."

 

she looks at orochi and cocks her head as if coming to for a moment.

 

"nurses office.....I can feel them there."

 

she says as she points to it, slowly pulling the iron from the mans body.

 

 

 

---------------------

"my Cujo doesnt die.."

 

googy says, and like a pulse in her mind , seva feels something..... Another presence in the mask with her, whispering.

 

"Cut off a head...and the other heads will turn to notice... Make an example...One."

 

the groom stands to negotate, completely igoring the presence of his soon to be wife and he whimpers.

 

"Please let us go....Well pay fiefs i swear."

[Armoured Priest]

"Feel them?......" Orochi asked, holding back a sigh of exasperation at the shit he had to deal with when she was in lala land and now being a enigmatic teller. The reptile just shook his head as he unholsters his large calibur pistol, the Kanabo just too large to deal with in a tight room like the Nurses' office. He never actually visited here for himself, usually he came here to visit one of the three, or even all of them, after a fight goes down since none of them had scales like he did. It felt...surreal walking towards the door with a gun this time, trying to ready himself for whatever or whoever was on the otherside as he opened it with gun drawn and aimed.

[Oce]

Sevatheda sighed quietly, the sound muffled by the mask. Why were people so intent on testing her patience? It was easy to assume that it was a previous Cujo was talking to her, trying to prompt her into action. You're dead for a reason, she growled to herself, not bothering to interact with the violent .. memory? She doubted that it was spirits that lingered in the iconic mask. Hydras grew back two heads to replace the one lost, after all.

 

She didn't really acknowledge Googy's comment aside from a smirk. The girl had her back and it was almost... endearing. Shifting her focus back onto the groom, "I request a bit more then just land, in turn for all of your lives. Or most of them at least." She shrugged indifferently.

[Thugren]

inside you see something that makes your blood run cold. An old member of the gang, a young man named Guzza. One of kamuis generals from back in the day is beaten to a bloody pulp. He was the head chef at a local ramen noodle stall nearby, and it seems he was the "entertainment" for the yakuza waiting for the ceremony to commence.

 

He gurgles in pain as he sees you come through the door and tries to sit up.

 

"Or.....Rochi..."

 

 

he croaks in pain, unable to raise his head above the pillow..

 

"Theyre coming.....The excecutioner is coming.."



 

 

 

-------------------

 

 

Everyone in the room sits in silence as googy lashes out with the tendrils, ripping over the cake table, and slowly cutting herself a peice.

 

"What do you want...I just want to leave here alive .. I dont even care about this whore.."

 

the groom whimpers, motioning at his would be wife who protests.

 

"YOu spineless prick!"

[Armoured Priest]

It took a minute for him to process what was there before him, Guzza, their friend from back in the day, mangled and suffering just for the kicks of some street vermin. "Is that right? Good." Orochi said in a calm tone that didn't reflect on the brewing heat of anger that worked thought his insides. "I'm going to call a medic for you, lay down for now, I'll take care of this." He assured his old friend with a light tap of his taloned hand on Guzza's shoulder since that seemed to be the only place that wasn't covered in deep purple discoloration. He activated his comm unit again to his squad medics. "I want a medic and their squad here in the Nurse's office on the double, we got a civilian in critical condition and needs medical attention asap." He ordered before heading out of the officer, Kanabo out from its sling, muscles tensing under his black scale hide in anticipation and bottled anger. "Yukari, keep doing you." he said to her since there wasn't much he could say without setting her off right now, already looking for this executioner to show up. 'Let's see how how it likes it when something actually fights back instead.' he thought to himself with a heavy dose of spite.

[Oce]

If Sevatheda was more in tune with her emotions, she would have been gaping teasingly at Googy's boldness. She supposed that an expensive cake combined with several pathetic jests was a bit too much for the girl to resist. It didn't seem to cut the tension that had built up in the room however, especially considering a moment later the groom decided to throw his wife "under the bus" as the saying went.

 

While it was hardly something she would have anticipated, she supposed she could understand it. Arranged marriages rarely seemed to work out well, especially when self-preservation comes into play. It wasn't shocking enough for Sevatheda to raise a brow, but it certainly was an opportunity if she played her cards right. As she turned her icy gaze to the bride-to-be, obviously dismissing the coward of a groom, she felt her lips curl up slightly. 

 

"You surely wouldn't want to fight with someone who would sell you out the moment a threat rears it's head, do you? You may as well have no one guarding your back, at least then you aren't going to be sold out so blatantly. If the rest of your 'comrades' are as fickle, and I almost hope they are not, then your fate is almost sealed. Which brings me to my offer. Would you care to join the 'winning side', if not to just teach him-" she jerked her chin at the groom, "a lesson in bravery."

[Thugren]

guzza groans in pain, reaching out for his old friend as the medic rushes past and closes the door behind him.

 

Guzza had always been agoon, but he was a loyal fighter, and had moved into the legal part of sociey after kamui had been dragged from them, his noodles and food was good but to be taken down like this.

 

"Extensive internal damage.... I hope this man is tough.. Or else hell die as im treating him."
 

the medic chips in your ear as you see a door open, and three men enter. Two are just normal thugs, bats in hand as they stop dead in their tracks behind the man that was definitely the excecutioner.

 

He is massive, obviously a varghen , but what kind you cant see behind his oni mask.

 

"Oh...One of the cujo...Im guessing you found your friend... We just wanted to say hello."

he chuckles, resting a large cleaver across his shoulders.

 

"Not all too touygh but he screams funny."
 

 

 

----------------------------------

 

the long entacles tear at the cake, pulling the sweet cream and moist bundt cake into googys mouth as she eats like a child, gigglign to herself as the men look at her in disgust.

 

""What...What do you want from me."
 

the bride asks, making the groom look at her with wide eyes and begin babbling as googy smiles.

 

"This cake is so shitty...Green tea? "

 

she asks, spitting some out and whiping her mouth.

 

'The only thing thats even decent is the buttercream."

[Oce]

Sevatheda smiled as Googy chowed down on the cheaply made cake, her focus never wavering from the bride's. "An alliance, to put it bluntly." Her gaze hardened as she regarded the spluttering groom in disgust; it was pathetic. "Enough. You spoke your part."

[Armoured Priest]

The Patriarch didn't have the time to acknowledge the medic before the "Hm, ironic since they'll be saying the same of you." Orochi said to the executioner while ignoring the two thugs with him, baring his teeth with anger. With a deep inhalation of air, he let loose a cone of flame from his maw like the namesake of his military family, intent on cooking at the two thugs while keeping the executioner alive in a downed state. He was always told there was no physical pain like being burned alive, something his mother drilled into his head about and why it was important to be responsible with it. That all went out the window after what he had just seen with Guzza and the words spoken by the varghen in the oni mask.

[Thugren]

the varghen griunts nd at the last moment, he slams his foot into the ground, lifting some stone up to buffer the flame to weither side of him, effectively making the two men take the brunt of the attack.

 

Screams fill the air, and the men fall to the ground charred black and unmoving.

 

"Oh....Oh now now... That was unkind..... We left your freind alive and you killed mine."

the styone recedes and he looks to a door .

 

"If its a fight you want, lets go outside... Or else your embers will never get me."


----------------------------------------

 

 

The woman looks at the man and than looks back at seva.

"My clan focuses mostly on undergound goods.... Illicit substances and food... Can i fit into your orginisation?"

 

the man looks at the woman in shock as googy cocks her head, some icing on her face.

 

""Ohhhh... youre the ones who feed the underground..Tqats cool."
