[There is an intense look in Wataru's eyes, which is very abnormal for the shy luthier, but the situation calls for it. At his left, Kivat is hovering and flapping, and at his right, Tatsulot. Even the little animals have an intensity to their expressions. He speaks in a low voice

Danny was very single-minded at the moment. One goal. Following whatever Wataru told him to do. During the fight, and Wataru's change from the soft musician to the strong fighter, Danny had subconsciously replaced Bart with Wataru as his Master... And being mentally as a dog, he snapped to action as soon as his Masters voice was heard. Hearing the people behind the big uglies, he ran straight towards them uglies, head on, hearing the small dragon behind him. Just before they could reach him and kill him, Danny jumped over them, making a somersault when he landed, to make sure he didn't hurt himself hitting the ground.

Looking around himself in the ally they ended up in, he saw some people huddled together, a few dead already while a two grunts where on the ready to kill yet another one. A growl came from Danny's throat. But the mental lock was still there. The collar was on. Can't kill, can't kill, can't kill, can't kill, can't kill... At the same time he wanted to follow Watarus orders. Have to help, have to help, have to help... It was almost splitting him in two. Running towards the uglies, he threw himself on the ground and slided between there legs, ending up in front of them. The humans was so shocked to see Danny, they stopped screaming to stare at him for a few seconds, before the big ugly looked at Danny instead as a new tasty treat...

Kiva had his hands full with the small mob he was already dealing with, so it was left up to poor Tatsulot to make sure Danny didn't die (or anyone else for that matter). With great speed, the little dragon side-slashed the enemies on Danny, exclaiming such lines as "take that" and "piano forte" at the monstrous foes, giving Danny an opening to strike. "Aaah, these guys are weaklings!"

[Action]

[thedogdanny]

Running up the arm of one of the uglies to give a powerful kick to his face, Danny then somersaulted down on the ground, crouched low.... small target. That got the uglies attention (especially how the kicked one franticly checked his face-mask), and they now concentrated on him. Just like Danny wanted. Him and the tiny dragon, who shouted obscenities at them uglies. "RUN!" he shouted at the humans, who after some hesitation did just that, even if one of them at first didn't want to, hanging on to the dead man on the ground.... Another man dragged the woman away from the corpse and they ran for there lives. The uglies were now highly pissed off. Brave in a pair, they both tried to kill Danny. Jumping and somersaulting out of there way, Danny used the walls as well, to keep just out of reach from there weapons they used to try and shot him with. Despite the openings that showed itself several times thanks to the little dragon, Danny did not attack them uglies. Just keeping out of reach, keeping them busy. Can't kill, can't kill, can't kill, can't kill, can't kill, can't kill, can't kill... the mental lock still in place. But crazy quick, agile and strong as he was, Danny was only human. And the mental war with himself, made sure he tired quicker then usually. He'd already fought Elites twice that day... Not able to duck quite quick enough when a blast from one of there weapons was fired, Danny was hit on his head, the blast gracing his temple. It made him fail a jump and fall to the ground, knocked out. For now...

Tatsulot was trying his best to keep the baddies from ganging up on Danny too much, but it was definitely not enough. He watched as Danny's agility pulled the man away and near, away and near, but without the ability to be able to take down something like these aliens, there was little hope. It was with great horror that Tatsulot, still slashing at the enemies with his little claws, watched as Danny fell to the earth, unconscious. "...no way..." the little dragon muttered before realizing he needed to get Wataru.

The darkness surrounding where Kiva had been previously was enough indication to the small creature that a finishing move was being used on the enemies. Darkness Moon Break. He hurried his little dragon body towards Wataru, shouting the luthier's name over and over. "Wataru! Wataru! Big trouble, biiiiig trouble!"

The enemies Kiva defeated burst into flames and shattered metal as the little dragon huffed over to tell Wataru the bad news. With little hesitation, Kiva's transformation broke and the young man rushed towards his friend. Finding the body was easy, his clothes wrapping Danny's form in gaudy brightness, and he knelt beside him, checking to make sure he was alive. "Oh no, no... Danny! Danny, get a hold of yourself! Danny, are you okay, answer me... Danny...!"

[thedogdanny]

Apparently thinking Danny was dead, the grunts had moved on to new targets to kill... But Danny was, indeed, alive. Breathing. The blast had graced his temple leaving a ugly wound, but it was far from lethal. It was the fall he'd taken, when he'd missed the jump that had knocked him out. Such a failure would have made Bart furious, having Danny locked up in his squalor for days after a thorough beating, his teddy and book taken from him, and hardly any food.... Thats why when Danny opened his eyes after a few moments blinking at Wataru, he shrunk back from Wataru a little... "Sorry..."

[Action]

[destiny_play]

He was alive. He was alive! Wataru smiled, so incredibly glad that Danny hadn't fallen prey to those monsters. Kivat and Tatsulot pulled away, keeping an eye on their surroundings as Wataru's expression was filled with relief. He almost expected Danny to move from him, as he was becoming accustomed to seeing how little kindness the other man had been given where ever he had come from. "Thank goodness you're all right."

The luthier looked around to see a few dead bodies, stillness having settled into the area. "He saved them," Tatsulot whispered from his watch point.

Wataru nodded and smiled. "That's great. You did good, Danny. You saved them."

[Action]

[thedogdanny]

"Good?" Danny was confused. His enemies had gotten to him. He'd let them come to close. That was never good. How could it be good? Confusion was clearly seen in his face as he sat up from the ground, brushing away some blood that trickled down his eyes. It seemed he was mostly annoyed with the blood obscuring his view, since Danny showed no sign of being in pain neither from the wound on his temple or the small wound on his arm where the Elite earlier had managed to grace him.

[Action]

[destiny_play]

"Yes, good," Wataru replied, keeping that light smile on his lips, "Saving people is a good thing." Wounds were all over Danny, blood trickled down from lacerations, and abrasions littered the man's skin. There had to be a way for him to fight without getting so injured. Kivat muttered cautiously at Wataru, knowing exactly what the violin maker was thinking. If Wataru let Danny use Kivat to turn into Kiva, he would be putting Danny's life into further danger. Humans simply couldn't withstand the power of having Fangire blood coursing through their veins.

"Danny, let me treat your wounds," he spoke softly, trying to hide his uncertainty. He pulled off his scarf, as Nago had done for him years ago, prepared to let it be stained in another's blood. "We'll find a weapon for you. So you can destroy the monsters better."

Re: [Action]

[thedogdanny]

Wataru really thought he had done good! That gave Danny a smile on his face. He'd done good! Confusion gone, he sat still while Danny used his scarf to dry off the blood from his face. Of course, it hurt some, but Danny ignored it sitting very still. When Wataru started talking weapons though, Danny shock his head. "Can't." He'd never used a weapon in his entire life. He was the weapon, wasn't he?

[Action]

[destiny_play]

He can't, or he won't? Wataru frowned a little in thought. The least he could do was find some kind of armor for the man to wear, but given he would even deny a weapon, Wataru could only assume that he would deny armor, too. He sat himself on the ground, watching Danny wipe away the blood from his skin. They needed a plan.

"I don't want you getting hurt," he muttered. "Maybe... you could get people to safety and I could fight, that way you don't get hurt?" It seemed logical to Wataru. Danny, being without weapons or armor, get people to someplace safe, while Wataru using Kiva could easily eliminate the aliens. He kind of wished Nago-san or his brother were there to help them.

[Action]

[thedogdanny]

Trying to explain, Danny struggled a little with the words... "I... I am. The weapon.... Never used one." It was probably the longest sentence he had said to Wataru, but he hoped the friendly man would understand. Bart had made him a weapon. A thing. An animal. It was all Danny knew. Or had known... But Wataru cared for him in another way, and it gave Danny a want to try and explain to him. It was just so hard to find the words... "OK. I help."

[Action]

[destiny_play]

Wataru couldn't really understand such an explanation, and given the current circumstances as Kivat ans Tatsulot darted to and fro to watch for incoming enemies, there wasn't really time for an elaboration on the subject. Letting Danny save human lives was probably the easiest thing to let the man do at the time, given the power level of the enemy forces. He gave a nod, seriousness returning to his eyes.

"Wataru," Kivat spoke hesitantly, "we need to move out."

"There's movement to the east, presto!" Tatsulot exclaimed, flying closer to the one who inherited Kiva.

Wataru slowly rose from where he had been sitting, and extended a hand for Danny. "Let's go. It's still dangerous."

[Action]

[thedogdanny]

Danny nodded. "OK." He to understood that it was far from safe here, even though he was far from afraid. It was just an established fact. And he didn't want Wataru hurt. Even if he now had seen the man could care for himself, much like Bart had. Danny couldn't help but compare the two. Wataru was much a better Master then Bart, he concluded. But it was easy to say with Bart long gone...

[Action]

[destiny_play]

"Tatsulot will stay close to you," Wataru said calmly. "He's small but strong." The little dragon nodded and positioned himself near Danny. East was the direction Tatsulot had said there was movement, so that would be their direction. They needed to be within the fray.

"We'll go that way," he gestured east, then called for Kivat, who came as instructed and prepared to bite Wataru. "We'll fight together. We'll keep each other and everyone else safe." A smile lit up his lips for a moment before he let Kivat bite his hand and again he returned to being Kiva.

Re: [Action]

[thedogdanny]

Nodding to show that he understood, Danny followed Wataru and the little dragon, who apparently was supposed to stick close to him. Help people, help people... Danny usually had fire backup, Barts goons standing around shooting those that managed to escape his clutches. He'd never had another fighter to work with. Can't kill, can't kill, can't kill, can't kill, can't kill.... And the collar was still on, the mental lock well in place...

[Action]

[destiny_play]

Wataru moved cautiously out, unaware of the mantra Danny's mind repeated, sword still ready. Technically, it was harder to use the Zanvat Sword in this form, but he needed Tatsulot watching over Danny. Wataru would feel awful if any more harm came to his friend.

Enemy fire rang out nearby, followed by the cries of a few humans. Without a word, Kiva ran towards the sound, looking for where the cries may have come from. It was instinct guiding Wataru more than anything now.

"Aah~ Come on, Danny!" Tatsulot spun around in the air and followed after Kiva. Time to save people; time for Wataru to show that he really could be a superhero.
