?I still can?t believe you talked me into this.?
?Well…? Demyx said with a nervous grin as his friend glared him, ?It sounded like help was needed…plus, people are in danger of getting hurt because of what this ‘Crow’ guy is planning.?
?..true…? A small sigh escaped Rock Howard?s lips as he crossed his arms in slight annoyance, ?But getting involved in gang activity? This just reeks trouble…trust me.? That?s an experience I don?t need to relive anymore, he thought. Living in Southtown definitely had its troubles, especially when you were the son of its former ruler. Even if he buried everything associated with that bastard, there was still someone out there that seemed to find the connection. He had a lot of fights because of that, and although Terry wasn?t exactly thrilled with that, it couldn?t be avoided.
?I’m sure everything will come out well! Have faith.?
?If you say so.? He decided to go and try to take this ?Crow? guy out right away. He knew there would probably be lackeys in the way, but that was fine. Warm-ups were good for fighting anyway. ?I just hope nobody recognizes that,? he broke off his muttering, shaking his head as he glanced over to Demyx with a nod. ?Alright, let’s go.?
He looked confused for a moment as he looked Rock over. ?Hm, you say something?? Noting the blonde?s slight shake of the head, he grinned again. ?Ok! Missssion time!? He glanced back at him as they went inside, heading straight for Block A. The other blonde seemed…worried about something. ?Hmmm? Daijoubu desu ka?? (Are you alright?)
Rock blinked once before looking back to Demyx. ?Hm? Yeah… I’ll be fine. You sure about this? I’ve never seen you fight.? True story. He always had found some sort of excuse to not participate in any fighting activities, resorting to only watching. Even when Terry offered to give him a few tips, Demyx declined.
?Er…heh heh. Well, I don’t particularly like fighting but… it cannot be prevented if people are going to get hurt. Besides, I am confident enough in my skills at least to kick some butt, hehe,? he replied with a grin.
?If you’re sure, then…? Rock?s gaze flickered upward as he spotted figures rushing toward them. Seemed that they were discovered earlier than he expected. ?Let’s hope your skills are as good as you make them out to be.?
REPPUKEN!
A burst of blue-purple energy erupted from Rock?s hand as he swung up, the energy colliding with one of the running figures, sending them promptly into the ground. Hm…these guys don?t seem all that bright… maybe I can take them out on my own.
?Mhm.? Demyx grinned sheepishly as he summoned a large, blue sitar. He played a few notes, causing a stream of water to knock some soldiers over and through some of the paper doors that lined the area, causing even more commotion.
Rock?s tactics weren?t helping in their mission to be stealthy, either.
**HARD EDGE!
**
He rushed in, connecting with a solid elbow to the solar plexus, then extending his arm out into an energy-charged palm thrust, which sent the one soldier he had hit into about five more. What Rock didn?t notice was that the energy trail he had left from the attack looked like a purple wing.
*Sugoi…! *(Amazing) As Demyx was watching Rock?s progress, one of the foot soldiers snuck up from behind and was about to tackle the black-clad boy to the ground when a geyser of water surged up, forcing him to retreat. ?Hehe, nice try.?
One of the soldiers, who obviously did his homework and noticed the moves that the red-eyed teen was using managed to sputter, ?You…you’re Geese’s-?
He didn?t have time to finish that sentence as Rock swung his leg down into a vicious axe kick, forcing him to crumple to the ground. ?Don’t EVER compare me to that man.?
How.
He slammed his fist into a soldier?s gut.
DARE.
Another was charged with energy as he swung upward in an uppercut.
THEY.
That same arm came down and back, elbow slamming into another figure trying to sneak up on him from behind.
I am nothing like him. I will never be! I won?t allow it to happen!!
DOUBLE REPPUKEN!
This time, two consecutive blasts of energy fired from Rock?s fists, knocking a good amount of the soldiers surrounding him back.
Demyx stared in amazement before turning again, playing a few more melodious notes on his sitar. Water materialized out of thin air and pushed two lackeys into a building, causing them to slam against the wall of said building and collapse into a heap. ?Eh heh…?
I will NEVER let myself be compared to that bastard! With this promise thudding in his brain like a mantra, Rock kept going, pounding his fists and feet into anything that got too close to him.
Rock Howard and Demyx have decided to go and confront Crow directly, however, they are (of course) stopped by a group of about a dozen or so foot soldiers trying to take them out.
And of course, some idiot had to compare Rock to Geese…mumblegrumble Idiots.
Both are open for interaction, although Rock might accidentally hit you in his ‘semi-berserker’ state.
