oh, why the hell not

[miraclefusion]

In very much the fashion of the typical night-owl teenager, Juudai had this nasty habit of staying up at all hours of the night and sleeping to unheard-of times during the afternoon. Three AM was nothing to him, though admittedly it did get a bit boring until he actually tired out.

So when he heard the transmission about the batshit guy holding someone hostage and planning on "roasting" them, he decided based on the responses that he might as well see what he could do, rather than leaping into action in a panicked rage.

He had no idea how long it had been by the time he actually found the park area with the bonfire that had been depicted in the video, but did it matter? Not seeming all that troubled at this point, considering there was nothing on fire that shouldn't have been just yet, he ambled towards Jan, not bothering to make any sudden moves... not quite yet. Instead, he smiled faintly, though it wasn't a happy smile, dimly illuminated by the flickering fire.

"Hi there."

oh hey I should pay more attention to things on my friendslist before jumping the gun

This was one of those moments that required an intense amount of sneakiness, which she was good at. She was also a pretty good shot, but from this distance with a pistol there were always risks involved. Still, she had her guns on her-and lots of them, it was amazing what fit in that back pack-and turned to take aim from behind a tree.

She was a good shot, but in this darkness, she knew that there was a chance of missing. The one thing she made sure not to do, was hit the hostage or the kid who had started talking to him.

She pulled the trigger and thanked whatever fucked up god was out there for silencers.

:D

Jan turned at Juudai's arrival, grinning around his cigar. He scooped up the other P90 and leveled them both right at his target.

"Hey."

With that he pulled the trigger and unleashed a torrent of bullets from both guns, two-handed affairs that his superior strength allowed him to wield like pistols, grinning like a maniac. He heard the pistol shot before he felt it, a solid blow in the meat of his shoulder, and snapped out in pain and surprise.

"Fuck!" He staggered a step backwards but recovered almost instantaneously, shrugging it off as if it were nothing to him and aiming one of his two P90s at the area he thought he heard the shot from, looking down the scope grafted to the top of the weapon and firing at random while keeping the other trained in Juudai's general direction. "You fucking cunts, come out here and fight like you got a pair!"

[miraclefusion]

Leathery bat-wings materialized and spread wide in front of Juudai just fractions of a second before the first shot impacted, and though they looked thin, they were surprisingly tough, considering the bullets simply ricocheted right off the dragon-hide. The owner of the appendages looked at Jan from over her shoulder when the wave ceased, as though to question if that was the best he could throw at her. Yubel didn't move from in front of him just in case he decided to start another barrage of bullets.

He saw Jan move back as if hit by something, though he didn't quite see what had hit him -- presumably another bullet, but it couldn't have been from the ones he'd fired himself, as they didn't travel far enough from their bounce back to hit him.

But even though he was still in the line of fire, Juudai could fight in two places at once.

Air Neos formed by his side after a split second of consideration, deciding it would probably be a good idea not to waste any more time. The summon started zooming swiftly through the air in zig-zag

Couldn't resist

Seras had been searching for the park since seeing Jan's broadcast. There was no way she was going to let that freak hurt anyone. Thankfully she had managed to locate the park fairly quickly. The gunfire however told her someone else had beaten her to it. Running as fast as she could she just hoped no one had gotten themselves killed yet.

Making it to the park she took a quick survey of the situation. She almost yelled out as the Jan fired at the boy, but was relieved to see he wasn't injured. Drawing her sidearm she took aim at Jan's heart. Normally in the dark at this distance there was no way anybody could make the shot. Thankfully she wasn't human. Using her third eye to aim she squeezed the trigger firing off several shots.

fffff this is becoming amazing.

[helokitynkevlar]

It took a lot more than taunting to get Mindy to come out from her hiding spot. The random bullet fire, however, did. She got hit in the upper shoulder, but thanks to her bulletproof vest all it did was throw her back a bit-she held onto the tree to prevent falling back and giving herself away

it's just awesome

[so_saturnalian]

Jan shouldered one P90 in its holding strap, swinging it around on his shoulder and squeezing off another volley at the approaching Hit-Girl - it was interrupted suddenly by Seras' shots - one ricocheted off his then-raised P90 and knocked it out of his hand, saving his heart in the process, but two others lodged themselves in his abdomen and stomach

It's more than awesome

[helokitynkevlar]

Hit Girl got hit with another two bullets, and she fell back. It turned into a decent roll. And then there was the fire, and his taunt.

"You should have been fucking serious from the start, dipshit!" she screamed. There were what, four bullets in her vest, now. The flames were a bad sign. She had a feeling she knew what his plan was. Sort of. The cross she couldn't do much about. But there was a good thing here: the other kid. He seemed to be summoning things.

"Hey," she tried to get his attention while trying not to have Jan hear her, "Got anything that flies and can carry me?"

There was no yelling at him about the fact that he shouldn't be here, because technically she shouldn't be here. How in god's name did she think that taking on a vampire was a good idea? No, fuck that thought. She could take on the mob by herself. This guy likely had the strength of the mother fucking mob. She could do this.

And she wasn't alone, either.

"Hold up!" Juudai shouted to Air Neos, who abruptly held back from a dive, realizing the change in posture meant he would probably be ready to tussle with him as he drew close enough -- which probably wasn't a good idea with all those weapons, even with Neos' strength. And the fact that he was a vampire meant he wasn't your average human in terms of physical strength, most likely. As Hit Girl addressed him, he nodded and gestured for his summon to return to him.

"Yeah," he answered, figuring it was a better idea to have Air Neos do the job while he was already out than to have to persuade Yubel into it, especially since he was easily almost twice her stature. "You got an idea?"

[helokitynkevlar]

She put the bag down quickly and started changing up her ammo and got out the uzi, "He's thinking that I'm gonna come from around. I'm thinking of coming from above."

She pointed to the smoke "This works just as well a distraction as it would for the sniper, he can't see me coming."

Of course, if something could loop around and act as a decoy, that would work well, too.

She drew her sword, "It'll fuck with him."

[newbvampire]

Damn it another kid. Why did people insist on fighting vampires like this. Bad enough she'd forgotten to bring silver bullets herself. She wanted to go save the person on the cross, but if she did Jan would just tear the other two apart. Running toward him she continued to fire until she emptied the magazine. She hoped that would slow him down a bit. She couldn't kill him so she'd have to pin him down somehow.

With no time to reload she holstered her pistol, and pulled out her taser. It looked like she'd be falling back on her training as a copper again. "Hey freak over here!" she shouted as she closed the distance, and thrust the taser at him. Certainly wouldn't take him down like a human, but it might give her an opening to immobilize him.

[so_saturnalian]

Jan ducked low to the ground to try and avoid getting his head taken off by the continued gunfire, his expectant grin having faded into an irritated snarl. He watched the Air Neos zoom off without a good satisfying fight, a hand going to his head to steady his beanie and straighten it again. He'd gotten his firefight, that was certain, but he was fighting against two kids and an as-of-yet unknown sniper trying to take out his heart

sorry for slow tagging :<

[miraclefusion]

"Oh, shut up," Juudai muttered under his breath, well out of earshot of Jan, especially considering how loud and chaotic things were getting. He looked at Hit Girl, turning thoughts over in his head. As long as he didn't get too close, he should be fine on his own...

"Okay. And I can go around and distract him if you want." Air Neos shifted his own gaze towards her as he ducked behind the smoke, wings slightly folded as he knelt on the ground for the moment, looking as though he were ready to go again at any time. Smiling, Juudai added, "Bullets are useless on my guardian."

Hearing the shouting stop briefly, he turned his eyes towards Jan to see him getting slammed with the taser. Good, that'd divert his attention for at least a few moments. Suddenly, he moved as if to get up.

"Okay, if that's the plan, then we're good for now, right?"

((OOC: Hit Girl-mun, feel free to godmode Neos a bit if you need to, also. If he does get destroyed or takes too many hits, he'll just shatter as though he were a hologram -- no blood, sorry Jan

s'alright!

[helokitynkevlar]

She gave the thumbs up, "Good luck."

The Neos picked her up and started flying upwards. She didn't want to go too high up, because if he dropped her she didn't want to end up a splat on the ground. She drew her sword and took aim with the uzi. She could headshot him.

"Come down from behind," she told the...what the hell did you call this thing, "but wait a sec."

She wanted to wait until he was adequately distracted. She didn't want to shoot anyone else by accident.

[newbvampire]

When Jan staggered from the taser hit Seras immediately followed up with a swift kick aimed at his stomach. She put all the force she could behind it. She followed it up with a punch in case that didn't work.

Reaching back she pulled out her cuffs and waited for an opening to slap them on Jan. Even if she couldn't get his arms behind his back she could at least get half of them on.

[so_saturnalian]

The kick hit him squarely, causing him to double over suddenly and serendipitously dodge the punch - Jan bared and gnashed his teeth, oblivious to the cuffs and anyone other than his current target, really. He lunged as fast as his body would let him at her, aiming a halfhearted jab at her face with his bare left as a distraction, while winding up a crushing blow to the gut with his right, adjusting the brass knuckles on his hand just so. Years of brawling had culminated into a completely lawless and dirty fighting style that he took pride in, though his face was completely unguarded and probably open for a good kick to the jaw. Fighting was more or less like gambling to him - you took a chance and won big or you had a pussy slapfight where nobody did anything.

"You fucking bitch!" He roared, all bloodlust and bad intentions - the ideas for what he was going to do to her if he got his hands on her were limitless, horrific, wonderful. And hey, she didn't even have to be alive for half of them.
