Jayden and Kayden Levard
The Nightshade Brothers
-------------------------------------
“A fight that big, huh? Sounds like a party! Count us in!”
-------------------------------------

The twins each arched an eyebrow at Matt's sudden new way of talking. It sounded remarkably like he was imitating them...Kayden grumbled something about Matt making fun of them, but didn't really say much, only crossed his arms grumpily.
The twins listened carefully to the situation explained to them, then nodded to Matt in unison. Things were looking kind of grim here...this was going to turn into an all-out brawl, wasn't it? There was already some random greenette plowing through the crowds...
"You're takin' spider lady? Huh...dunno, we might go for th' big guy. Bigger they are, harder they fall, 'n all that?" Jayden said, referring to Pugsy and answering for both himself and his brother without a moment of deliberation.

Masaru Hattori
The Bloody Lotus
-------------------------------------
"With Mariko at my side, I can do anythi--h-hey! What's with the staring at us?! Qu-Quit that!"
-------------------------------------

As he heard the assassins picking targets, Masaru's gaze shifted slightly over towards Jun...that guy had a katana? Well...wouldn't that be an interesting fight. Masaru looked to Mariko, surrepticiously indicating Jun with his hand.
"I'm pretty sure that we could take him on...it won't be easy, but we can try..." he said quietly, making sure that nobody but Mariko could hear him.

Marcus Clouth
The Fireball



Marcus listened in on what Matt said. 'Huh so things aren't looking good for us? No matter we'll make it work for us!' Marcus beamed in determination when he noticed that people started to pair up with others. "Ummmmm...I'll take on that person over there!" He pointed to Robin. "Hey you person over there! Ummmmmm so is this going to be a fight or what are we going to do?" Marcus asked Robin, still kinda bewildered that a fight broke out.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

Paul McAllister
Drunk Patchy Man



Paul silently listened in on what the fellow member Matt said. Paul's face become more serious at the end and looked over at the Don. 'You better be alright sir.' He shooked his head. 'Nah. He'll be fine. He's been in worse situations than this.' Paul listened in about them having to fight now. "Hmmmm ok so who should I fight?" He didn't like his predicament at the moment. Just getting out of the hospital from his injuries and he didn't really get to stock up. All he brought with him was his trusty magnun and rock candy...rock candy!? Paul you dun goofed! He scanned the area and noticed someone that he might be able to handle. "Hey you!" Paul yelled at Vincent. "Glasses guy! I'm talking to you!"

"Booze, cigarettes, chicks, oh how I love them all!"

Vincent Kerrigan
The Blade of the Black Dragon
-------------------------------------
"Hah...you may believe that you know the ways of the world...what's happening all around you...but in reality, you're even blinder than I am..."
-------------------------------------

As Vincent heard a call for a certain 'glasses guy', he paused for a moment. Any number of other people there could be wearing glasses. But as he gave the voice a sidelong glance, he saw that the person's sihlouette in the heat signatures was facing him...and Hal, Kat, and The Mistress certainly didn't wear glasses...
"Do you need something?" Vincent called in reply to Paul, staying where he was for the time being, but keeping his 'eye' on Paul, so to speak, while watching the heat signatures. To Paul, it would look like he was facing off against a man who was simply blind--and yet, while he looked relatively harmless, Vincent himself gave off a very foreboding aura of sorts. One that would most likely make any enemy that fell under his 'gaze' feel uncomfortable.

Kat's Theme: Take it off

It was a good thing that people forgot about her easily, or else she would be in trouble. She watched at Paul was going on about fighting. Kat shot at the man with a normal hand gun, and then put it away, and lifted her guitar.
"You wanna say that again?" she asked.

I'll show you what I got! Let's rock!

Paul McAllister
Drunk Patchy Man



Paul was getting ready to answer Vincent when a man suddenly came up to ask him where Kraven is. "Ummmmmmm I think it's that man with the heartband fighting my boss." Paul pointed over to where Kraven and the Don were fighting, a small sigh coming out of his mouth. Paul watched as the man went away and caught something coming to him out of the corner of his eye. He was barely able to dodge the bullet that Kat fired, the bullet grazing his suit and he looked at her and Vincent. "Sorry Miss, but it's between me and the man here. No interruptions on this one on one fight. Well I was hoping to have a nice chat before we could begin though." Paul ruffled his hair a bit before placing his hat back on him.

"Booze, cigarettes, chicks, oh how I love them all!"

-------------------------------------
"Hah...you may believe that you know the ways of the world...what's happening all around you...but in reality, you're even blinder than I am..."
-------------------------------------

Vincent turned so that he was facing Paul, his expression still neutral.
"You aim to take advantage of my eyesight in order to get yourself into an unfair fight that you know you can win. This is not the case, I'm afraid. I can tell you now that if you engage Kat and I in battle, you will find yourself dead at the end of it. Rethink yourself, or make your peace with whatever god you follow." Vincent lifted his cane off the ground, holding it in two hands now, but still keeping on a neutral expression as he stood there with Kat.

Robin Callahan
*The Enigma of Black Dragon*
-----
"Oh, hello there! It's nice to meet you... You aren't my next target, are you? Oh dear!"
-----

Robin blinked in surprise as Marcus approached her, tilting her head to the side and examining him with a small smile. It was unclear what she was thinking, but she apparently decided that he would do- turning her body to face him, she clasped her hands in front of her. "Oh? You wish to fight me, is that it? ... Very well then, I suppose I can... But if you mess up my hair..." Her voice dropped the pleasant and happy tone in favor of something a little more threatening at the end of her sentence, before her hands shifted, just barely. She slid a throwing knife from her sleeve in mere seconds and then flung it at Marcus before moving to dodge any sort of retaliation.


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




Sophia Harper
*Blackout*
-------------------------
"Oh, hello there! I think I know you... Oh, right! You're the one I'm supposed to kill now!"
-------------------------

Sophia entered the area with the twins, looking around curiously, yet with trepidation. She wasn't sure what they were getting into, but she knew she couldn't avoid it... Listening carefully as Matt explained, she then watched the twins choose their opponent. Looking around more, she released them both before backing away, biting at her lip. "I'll get out of the way..." she explained to them gently, since it seemed like everyone had paired off into who would be fighting who, while she was distracted. She didn't want to get in anyone's way, but if she noticed someone unoccupied she would get involved... she supposed...


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




Mariko Kumori
*The Bloody Lotus*
-------------------------------------
"You'd better not underestimate us... You'll be regretting it with your last breath."
-------------------------------------

Examining the man Masaru had pointed out, Mariko shrugged- but she had a grin on her face. "私たちの一つは、一人であった場合、おそらく、彼が問題になるでしょう、しかし一緒に、私たちは問題なく彼を取ることができると思う..." she mumbled under her breath, feeling more comfortable with her native language, at the moment... She too was careful to speak low enough, however, that only her partner could hear. "... Keep your guns away for now, we can save at least one surprise," she murmured in English, while reaching back to draw her katana. She didn't know who this man was... but he'd be a suitable target...

Marcus Clouth
The Fireball



Marcus flicked his gloves after hearing Robin's response. He quickly made a flame shield to take the knife that was thrown at him. "Lets see how you like a goal!" Marcus formed a flame soccer ball on his hand and placed it on the ground. He strated to kick it around to himself for a bit and then kicked it at Robin.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

Jun Satoshi
The Void



Jun noticed the people that were looking at him and walked over to them. It looked like they were ready to fight. He opened up his notepad and written somwthing to respond to the two. "Hi there. Nice to meet you. My name is Jun Satoshi and sorry, but I must make sure you don't do anything drastic at this moment." Jun did a bow to the two and got into his stance. His hand was on his handle, ready to strike when he needs to.

"..."

Ivy/Arma
The Girl Who Would Be Armageddon



Ivy had almost gotten to Kraven when Meili appeared. Well shit. But Ivy didn't know about the awesome multiple-armed lady's upgrades, so she just grinned and cracked her knuckles, ready for a reasonably painless fight.

"YOU'RE confused!"

She retorted, it didn't matter to her which side Kraven was on, she wanted him dead. It didn't matter that Pugsy had decided to join that monster now, Ivy could only remember the pain Kraven had caused and was sure the man needed to die for her to finally be at peace.

"Now get OUT of the way!"

She yelled, attempting to swat Meili out of the way so she could continue plowing through the Krieg forces.

Kat's Theme: Take it off

"Let me think." she paused. "Uh...no." She said. "You're a fucking idiot, and now, you'll die." she pulled out the gun and started to shoot rapid fire all over Paul's body. She kept a glare at him. "Now, have you learned some manners? Or are we onto lesson two?" while Paul was distracted, Vincent could attack unhindered.

I'll show you what I got! Let's rock!

Vincent Kerrigan
The Blade of the Black Dragon
-------------------------------------
"Hah...you may believe that you know the ways of the world...what's happening all around you...but in reality, you're even blinder than I am..."
-------------------------------------

Vincent didn't make any moves. He was still waiting for Paul's reply. He was closely watching every move of the orange-red silhouette of the assassin, analyzing each and every twitch of the man's body.
"If you believe that I am going to be making the first move, then you're wrong. Either make a move, or give up. Stake a claim on your duty, or leave it be. Live...or die. Indecisiveness never got any of us anywhere. And, well, if you're not going to begin..."
It was in that moment that the rat-ta-tat of Kat's rapid fire struck Vincent's ears. He didn't even flinch. And at the split second that the gun fire ended, he rushed forward, tugging the end of his cane off to reveal a sword blade. The sword had been inside of the cane all along. He moved forward at a terrifying speed, a speed that must have taken years upon years of training to build up...He rushed at Paul, slashing at him with the sword, then slashing a second time to make up for lost damage if Paul should dodge. He could see the dark green-blue silhouette of a gun on the man's person--and he didn't want to give the assassin a chance to use it.

“A fight that big, huh? Sounds like a party! Count us in!”
-------------------------------------

Jayden and Kayden had been about to go attack Pugsy--but then suddenly, the man got involved in the fight with the two ladies. And the twins knew that all three of those people were on the opposite side as them. Now, they had been fine with going up against one guy--but three people? No thank you. The twins hung back with Sophia for the moment, waiting for a more opportune time to strike.

Masaru Hattori
The Bloody Lotus
-------------------------------------
"With Mariko at my side, I can do anythi--h-hey! What's with the staring at us?! Qu-Quit that!"
-------------------------------------

Masaru quickly put his hand to the hilt of his katana as Jun approached...and then started writing on paper? The minute that the paper was shown to them, Masaru pulled out his sword, and slashed at the notebook, trying to slice it in half. They didn't need to deal with this bullshit. As Jun took his ready stance, Masaru backed up slightly to stand beside Mariko, nodding to her remark. If they worked together, they could take this guy on, no sweat.

Paul McAllister
Drunk Patchy Man



Paul quickly went to cover as soon as he saw Kat getting reay to fire. He looked around and noticed Sophia. "Hey Ms. Sophia! Think you can help me her-" Paul quickly moved out of the way from Vincent's attack. A big shock on his face of nearly dodging it but couldn't dodge the next attack. A slash mark on his chest showed from that result as he kept on dodging Vincent's slashes just barely. "I...really...hate....swords!" Paul couldn't get to his gun when he remembered something. He took out the small bag of rock candy and threw it at Vincent's face, hoping that would distract him so he can take out his gun.

"Booze, cigarettes, chicks, oh how I love them all!"

Vincent Kerrigan

-------------------------------------
"Hah...you may believe that you know the ways of the world...what's happening all around you...but in reality, you're even blinder than I am..."
-------------------------------------

Vincent's eyes didn't move, but he definitely saw as Paul suddenly jammed his hand into his pocket to get something--so Vincent was ducking even before Paul threw, ducking under the candy and hearing it clatter to the ground behind him as he rose again, moving smoothly and quietly like a wraith on the wind as he slashed at Paul again with the blade, keeping the sheathe of it gripped tightly in his other hand as he did so. He didn't know what Paul had thrown at him--all that mattered was that he had dodged it. He continued to press forward, not giving Paul a moment's rest as he continued to slash at the man with the blade again and again, not wanting to give him a chance to react. He specifically saw the assassin pull out the green-blue silhouette that was the gun--and promptly began focusing his slashes in on the man's arm, trying to disarm him of the weapon before he could use it.
