I Mean It (Closed)

The mecha crumbling under his strike fell to the ground sparking as Knightfall rode it all the way down then proceeding to pull the katana from where he'd stabbed it like something out of a King Arthur movie. He laughed at his own thought as he then threw the katana into the ground beside Tsukimi. "I'm not getting you another one so you'll have to make use of it." Just as he said that a Yakuza took a swing at him, manipulating his adrenaline Knightfall barely dodged the attack. Following it up with a hard swing of his Deagle slamming the end of it into the Yakuza's head over and over till he felt it sufficed. He chuckled at Bliss's remark wiping the bits of shattered bone and blood off of the end of his gun, responding in a light-hearted tone. "No worries, and for future reference it's Knightfall."

For a moment, Sagittarius' vision went black, for a moment, everything swirled in his sights. For a moment, Sagittarius wasn't there. But moments tend to pass, and life tends to go on. That's when he heard people yelling at him, he looked around and shook his head. "Sss'okay. I'm oOkay." Said Sagittarius standing up still slightly dizzy.

He aimed his bow, using his telescoping vision; but unfortunately all that allowed for was nausea. Vomiting all over the ground; the marksman aimed at the nearest Yakuza. Missing the first shot, but setting the ground ablaze by a mech.

The moment passed finally, and the marksmen reached for another arrow. Then, he noticed something. He was out of arrows. He noticed them strewn throughout the field. Cursing under his breath; he jumped clumsily at the nearest arrow; and just as the yakuza that he had missed was about to kill him with a katana; he shot the man in the face. He missed a vital organ, but the flame burned his face as he screamed in agony. Falling back into the grass, the man died. "...that seemed a bit less gruesome in my head." He said under his breath

Being thrown into the chaos, Uzma went whipping passed Knightfall as he literally shot a man point blank sending bone, debris, and other bodily chunks flying everywhere.

A white blur, Uzma had a cosmic charged punch and sent it straight through one of the mechas. As she took it down, she noticed just off in the distance Sagittarius vomiting his brains out. Making it her business, Uzma's fist was done tearing through the mechas inner workings, and with no intention of breaking up Bliss and Tsukimi's bickering, she made her way to Sagittarius' side.

"Recover," she said, placing her hand on his shoulder, and then she got a bright idea.

Moving her hand to his quiver, she manifested some of her cosmic energy into arrows.

"So long as you are careful, they shouldn't hurt you." She gave him a smile, turned, and punched another Yakuza in the face.

But, the shield had been broken now, Hana and Mitsuko now exposed to the bad men.

"Shit! Shit shit shit!" Uzma kicked off of the ground and went soaring straight toward Mitsuko and Hana, but she was stopped by two Yakuza and a mecha blocking her path.

"I don't know why, but you need to save that girl!" Uzma shouted, pointing frantically at Knightfall, then Bliss, and finally Tsukimi. They needed to do something!

"Shoot them!" she said, looking back at Sagittarius as she ducked underneath of a katana blade being swung at her head.

Bliss kept Uzma more active in the fight than the Yakuza could handle. "I think I'm getting good at this mitigating responsibilities thing. If I just sit back here, I'll be able to see what's going on. That should work." In theory, it would work, but in actuality, Bliss already missed the final push the yakuza hoped to push on stealing the girl back.

The ignorance of Bliss did not set in with Tsukimi, whom already sprung towards the Yakuza seeking to assault Uzma.

A blade swung for Uzma, cutting far too close for Uzma to dodge on her own. Tsukimi attempted to parry the blow, but found a swift blow to her side quite incapacitating. Left as the last line of defense, Bliss managed to hold the blade firmly in the air. Once the momentum ended, Bliss felt comfortable with letting the blade slide, until she felt the strength behind it.

While still holding the blade at bay from striking Uzma, Bliss managed to put up a shield of ice between Tsukimi and the raging Yakuza. Any time she could go back to mitigating would be fine by her. All of this action blinded her to Uzma's incompetence in keeping the bubble alive and well. Way to go Uzma. "Hey, Uzma. How many jobs did you have again? I feel like it's greater than zero, but less than two. How many jobs would that be?" While Bliss meant to throw the blade, the unwillingness of the Yakuza to release his weapon sent him flying through the air as well, keeping Uzma from harm.

"They have Mitsuko and what's her name!" An alert rang out from Tsukimi, as she herself rushed to her half sister's defense. Not for sake of trying, but the effort Tsukimi poured in to closing the distance amounted to nothing as all she could do was watch as the Yakuza made their way towards the edges of the park with both girls.

Knightfall hearing Uzma noticed that the barrier she'd been providing for Hana and Mitsuko was now out of commission. He watched as several Yakuza grabbed the two girls and started making their way out of the park. Preparing to run after the two girls his path was blocked by one of the mecha's as it swung at him it's metallic fist crashing into the Earth just beside him. "Too close." Just as he was about to counterattack a Yakuza put him in a choke-hold the both of them struggling to keep the other subdued. The mecha taking this opportunity to finish him raised it's leg and prepared to stomp down on him. Knightfall headbutted the Yakuza holding him and the Yakuza now lay unconscious as the mecha's foot came crashing down. Just before the foot squashed him he put up both of his hands and pushed back against the downward force of the mecha's stomp, just barely holding it up, Knightfall's feet getting deeper into the ground. If nobody had gotten the girl's already there was nothing he could do right now.

Saggitarius was suddenly in a chaotic field; he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder telling him to recover, feeling the calming presence come over him. He examined the battlefield. Taking in all that he could.

Arrows made of energy came to existence in his quiver; and Sagittarius saw the shield fumble. Still slightly stunned by the original blow; Sagittarius moved towards his arrows just as they reached the end of the park and nocked an arrow. He took aim, breathed deeply, and fired. The arrow flew straight and true; finding perch in one mans arm. The man went up like dry kindling, but he let go at last second to avoid burning his commrades as they moved the girl into a black van.

"No!" Sagittarius yelled trying to nock another shot; but even as the cosmic arrow was put onto the string and immediately fired; the van drove off as it struck the side of the building.

Tsukimi gave up too easily. It made her stomach roll knowing she gave up when others charged more valiantly to assist in the rescue of her half sister. "I will save her!" No matter of failure would stand in between Tsukimi and her mission, not even the Yakuza who currently stood between her wielding the blade. "You will not stand in my way."

Bliss did not care about Uzma leading the way. Well, she did, but no one better ask her if she cared. You'll get banned. "Oh you will. You will." Ice rose from Bliss' hand as she moved towards the van. Bliss needed to run more. All these stupid adventures required so much running. As soon as Mitsuko and whatshername were safe, Bliss would take note of getting back in shape. Until then, she would rest on the tree in front of her- about thirty feet away from where she started. "Stupid- standards- set by anime. These boots are not good for running."

The last mecha spotted Uzma. She was a giant shining ball of energy. Everyone saw her. The mecha posed the greatest threat though when it reached up and grabbed Uzma, pinning her. "Oh no, no, no, no, no." Running did not agree with Bliss, but that ball of ice in her hand did not need to run anywhere. It just needed some Blissful movement. Ice would begin to well up around the mecha's hand.

That was the last good thing to happen. A bola wrapped around Bliss' body, wrapping her her body in place. She tried to continue the icy growth around the mecha's hand, but a jolt of electricity shot through her body. "You suck!" Her instinctive response took a few jolts of electricity as she continued to try and complete her rescue of Uzma.

Elsewhere, a hundred feet away, Tsukimi threw her opponent down to the ground. "I informed you about standing before me, but you did not listen. Instead you-"

"Calm down, girl." A man slipped behind Tsukimi, putting a knife up to her throat. "The parade around the van drew too much attention, but no one is watching you. No, no one watched where or what happened with you. Now, I'm going to get that girl back. They are going to give her to me. And in exchange, they get you back." He took the unicorn toboggan from her head and dropped it to the ground, pulling Tsukimi back with him.

The van stopped suddenly, sending Mitsuko into the seat in front of her. Her hands were tied behind her back- not that Mitsuko would put up much of a fight even if she could flail wildly, but it did show the intention these men had in mind. "Hana, that's a pretty name. Hana, we need to escape." Mitsuko did not know how to escape, but she did know if Bliss tried to rescue them, it would probably end up frozen, then it would explode. The second would be worst. Far worst.

Mitsuko stood up and made her way towards the backdoor, stepping over a downed Yakuza. She tried to open the door with her bound hands, struggling with the door until the mechanism finally popped, letting Mitsuko fall out of the back of the van and onto the ground.

Knightfall struggled with the crushing weight of the mecha's foot as it worked to end his life. Moving one of his hands from pushing the mecha's foot back, and instantly regretting it, his knees buckling slightly. He then adjusted the voltage on his galva-knuckles to maximum and swung hard into the bottom of the mecha's foot causing it to fall backwards. Getting to his feet, he felt a sharp stinging sensation in his thigh. Looking down at his leg he saw a needle filled with a substance unknown to him, he had sudden harsh flashbacks to his sister's death and his past. He fell to the ground unable to move and passed out trapped within his own memories. A couple of Yakuza quickly ran over to him picking him up and moving towards a separate vehicle where Bliss and Tsukimi were being taken.

Sagittarius was still trying his best to grasp the situation at hand when one of the vans crashed into a parked vehicle. Thinking quickly, he moved to follow Uzma before it was too late.

However, one of the girls got kidnapped and the helmeted man wasn't exactly doing the best at escaping either. It was already too late for the girl, but he shot the Yakuza attempting to get away with the helmeted man. The man disintegrated the moment it was hit. Sagittarius moved for Knightfall and caught him before he could fall back to the ground.

"We must save the girls, napping isn't what you need to do right now." He said as he dragged the man behind him as quickly as he could.

"Help you? Help me!" Bliss rolled around until she finally hit a tree. Uzma wanted all the attention for herself. Worst of all, since she turned into a weird ball of energy, no one could see Mitsuko's kimono. "Uzma always has a way of taking a bad situation and making it worse, so much- Ow!"

A scampering foot hit Bliss in the side, triggering Bliss' anger glands. It was surprising Bliss did not pass out with her anger drawing at least eighty percent of her brain power. "Watch where you're- Mitsuko?"

"Bliss?" Mitsuko flipped her legs underneath her to allow her to push herself next to Bliss. Her hands were still bound behind her back with her half sister not completely able to assist her. "Can you untie me? I'll unwrap you if you do."

Mitsuko assisted Bliss with sitting up so Bliss could wiggle her arm over to get a hand on the knot around Mitsuko's wrists. With enough finesse, Bliss managed to get Mitsuko free, and in turn, Mitsuko assisted Bliss with her escape. Luckily, Bliss' outfit remained unscathed to everyone's joy.

"It's ice and- woah when did you make friends with a werewolf?!" Bliss placed a barrier of ice in between Hana and Knightfall, trying to keep his face in tact for the foreseeable future.

"She wasn't like that before." Mitsuko hid behind her sister. "I guess she doesn't like that guy."

A small burst of light entered Tsukimi's eyes as a bag was lifted off of her head. A pair of handcuffs kept each of her wrists shackled to the arms of a chair. Both remained secure and the yakuza in the room.

"We didn't get the girl, but we did secure one of the interlopers." A slicked back ponytail pulled the sharp edge of the yakuza's nose to a judgmental point. His cell phone jotted just over the crown while the man continued to barely make eye contact with Tsukimi. "I got in contact with an expert in this field. We just show them some pictures of their friend, and they'll give us back the girl."

The phone came down from his face. The small gesture of his finger ended the call. "I'll just leave you alone with my new friend. He'll make sure your friends give us everything we want. I here he's quite good at dealing with metas." His head turned to the sound moving outside of the door. He gave a small laugh. "Here he is."

The door burst open with a blast. A sword shot across the room, impacting in the wall just to the side of Tsukimi's head. And in walked most likely the hottest fucking guy fucking ever to live. Tengo Okami. "I'm Tengo Okami!" The strong jawed man pressed his leg on top of a box as he surveyed the many interesting components of the room: the Yakuza laying on the ground, the girl handcuffed to the chair, a door! "Alright. I'm supposed to say stuff now." Okami merely smiled while surveying the room with his head bobbing, must to the confusion of Tsukimi.

Knightfall was shuddering on the ground still unconcious, his head feeling like it was being ripped in half slowly as one of his headaches ravaged his body and mind. He had memories flashing through his mind of people he didn't know but were nonetheless familiar, a place where light nor darkness reached, and he saw a bright explosion of blue light behind his eyes and someone screaming. He woke up suddenly as Uzma's body flew through the air and slammed into his, his anguished cry replacing that of the one he'd heard in his episode, his headache subsiding only to notice that a large wolf monster was getting ready to shred him. Thankfully Bliss had put up a barrier between the him and the girl before that had to happen. Taking a moment to compose himself he stood up shakily, refusing Uzma's offer to help him up, and rested his hand on the wall of ice leaning against it for stability. He hoped that nobody had noticed his episode of weakness and would prefer if it was left untouched. Breathing heavy Knightfall reluctantly took his helmet off and let it drop to the ground. That's when he noticed the blood streaming from his nose and coughed out more onto his helmet.

Sagittarius had continued his heroic attempt at saving Knightfall, when he turned to the sound of Uzma's voice. But before he could even get an arrow knocked, the mecha exploded and sent Uzma flying at him. He did his best to catch her, but ended up taking the hit along with Knightfall. Laying on the ground for only a moment later; Sagittarius stood using Uzma's assistance. He knocked an arrow, and a werewolf burst from the van wearing the little girls clothing - albeit ripped to hell - and aimed at her.

He was about to fire when he realized that it WAS in fact the little girl. He couldn't hurt her, so he needed to figure out a way to do this non-lethally. He then turned towards a nearby van, and ran to it. He hoped that the keys were still inside but no such luck. Now it was a matter of relying on the superhuman strength of his comrades. He pushed against the van and yelled out that he needed help with pushing this thing. He needed to get this thing moving so that he could maybe use the van to get Knightfall away and perhaps even as bait to get the little girl away from the scene of the crime.

"FYI, all of these robots belong to me now." The scrapheap surrounding them looked daunting, but a little telekinesis can go a long way. It takes forever, drains Bliss, and if those things activated even a little it would fail spectacularly, but the telekinesis did in fact move the mecha closer to Bliss. Halfway to Bliss, an uneven fixture of destroyed parts in the mech's head began to rattle. A small crash rang out from inside of the metallic chasis, giving Bliss some reason to pause. Her brow lifted and her lips looked to say something, but never did. In the still of the moment, calamity broke from the back of the robot's head, hemorrhaging a wealth of junk parts.

"My life is pretty good most of the time, now there are robots trying to do weird stuff. I think somehow all of this is your fault." Bliss and Uzma were BFFs confirmed.

"Hey." Mitsuko leaned down to look at one of the spilled out parts. "I was looking through these robot brains for fashion designs, but this one looks like it is still working. If I turn it off, is that murder?"

"Let me see that." Bliss hunkered down next to her half sister. "It's a receiver. I can use this to- why are you looking for fashion with a robot? That's so weird and, oh yeah, I can get a fix on where we need to go."



"This is going to be a torture thing, but a fun one." Okami bounced the head of a small ball point hammer on his palm. "Where did you get those glasses?"

"I'm not telling you anything about my sister or the weird gaijan." Tsukimi recoiled as Okami poked Tsukimi's lens.

"Read this." Okami shoved a manga close to Tsukimi's face.

"Is this a boy-love romance story?" Wanting no part in this debauchery, Tsukimi attempted to look away, but the strange wanted to be seen. "What are they doing to-"

"Aha!" Okami removed Tsukimi's glasses, holding them in his hand with the hammer fixated above them. "Tell me about the size of the ass on the gaijan or I break your glasses, rendering you unable to read in a room filled with books."

"That was the dumbest episode of Twilight Zone! He could have held the books closer to his eyes and read them!" The absence of handcuffs would result in a savage beating to Okami's face. However the presence of handcuffs meant Tsukimi could only listen and retort.

"It held up a mirror to ourselves, showing us for who we really- wait, these aren't prescription!" In a fit of rage, Okami smashed the lens in the glasses. "I thought you were cool!"
