'sup kanda (x 2)

[healthysoda]

(What a dick.)

[It's the only thing Neku can think as he's grabbing an amulet off of one of the soldiers that fell to his psychs. He has no idea what it does, but once he finds someone who has the power that he's hoarding, he'll be sure to give it to them. He likes fighting with psychs, anyway--nothing beats their faces when he lifts off of the ground, holds his hands to his headphones, and proceeds to tear them all a new one. --hello man who looks intelligent. He approaches, cautious and glancing around.]

... how many are there?

'sup neku, how you doin'

[tembleques]

[ kanda half expected to walk into other foreigners out here, but he honestly hoped he wouldn't. he would spare the kid who just showed up around the corner a cold glance, and instead hammers the face of a soldier standing up with the butt of his sword's hilt. nothing like the sound of breaking noses. ]

Probably more. [ why was he even replying? stooping, sword to the side, he examines the soldier for any clue as to who they are and why they are here, but he finds nothing inside their uniform. ] Tch.

nothin much just waiting for assholes

[healthysoda]

(Damn. ... let's not get this guy mad.)

[Neku raises an eyebrow when he watches him, though his attention is snapped from him to one of the new soldiers. He darts forwards and seemingly punches the guy half into submission, before he presses his hands to his headphones and rains boulders upon him, effectively pinning him down and possibly closing off air supply. He replaces a pin and glances over, then up at the ships.]

Guess you don't have any clue to who the hell they are, do you?

sounds like a fancy hobby

[tembleques]

[ stares at this display of impressive rain. handy power you have there, kid. ] Probably have to do with whatever shit happened in the capital. [ not like kanda paid much attention to the details on those transmissions from days before. he was only waiting for this moment.

he stands, sheathing mugen at the sight of current solitude in this area, and turns to the boy. ] How did you do that? [ because as far as he knows he doesn't have his powers back... not like he needs them, but still. ]

oh, it is (also let's try to make it seem less confusing)

[healthysoda]

[Neku runs a hand through his hair at first, mentally wincing at the thought as he thinks back through the transmissions. Capital or not, it was spreading towards Solace, and sure, it wasn't Shibuya, but...

His eyes rise back up when Kanda speaks.] My power. It's weak, but... still here. [He pulls an amulet from his pocket and offers it.] You know anyone who needs these?

mm pretty good, for a kid

[tembleques]

[ does it really look like i have friends, neku? does it? really?? ] I don't. [ so keep it. his statement is cold as he gives his back to the boy and proceeds in walking, kicking one or two bodies out of his way. ]

They're prepared this time. [ comparing to the pirates from before... ]

hey he's almost sixteen

[healthysoda]

[well he meant anyone he came along that didn't have powers, but fine, Kanda. it's not like Neku has very many friends either.] Right. [that goes back in his pocket for safekeeping, as he looks down at one body.]

... they want something more than money, this time. They know we're prepared. ...

kanda's closing in on 20 and bitchin', so you're a kid

[tembleques]

[ they can be i-have-no-friends friends sometime, but for now here's just annoyance on kanda's face. he had an amulet that looked like that, but it disabled the power of the collar/tattoo--he must have forgotten about it because it slipped his mind the moment all this started. if there's one of those, then there's probably others. the powers from others? ...hm.

how did they get their hands on that information? sure, they weren't a lot of foreigners but to begin with, they never really used their powers on a daily basis to hint whoever is behind this of what powers all of them have. ] Tch, those bastards. [ let's move out, neku. this way 8| ]

five years apart, kanda. only five.

[healthysoda]

(Why go through the trouble of making them stronger than us if we aren't the real threat? It doesn't make sense... whoever sent them must know we're powerful. How would they know that?)

[His statement is met with silence, though Neku follows him on instinct, just like he would Shiki, Joshua, and Beat. Hey, he might not have friends, but he knows the words he lives by: trust your partner. And right now, all of the 'foreigners' count as his partner.]

shut it, midget

[tembleques]

[ he walks on, not minding the presence of the ginger some place behind him, as they approach a different street which is partly empty of both soldiers and bodies. the red glittering shards that keep falling like constant rain are like a premonition to the incoming troops from up front.

mugen unsheathed and holding it with both hands, kanda snorts. these group of soldiers seem more capable, shiny armor and colorful spell circles forming around them. ] Pathetic. [ and charge ]

whatever frankenstein

[healthysoda]

[That's... something Neku hasn't seen before, though. Spell circles? He's only seen guys with hack and slash swords and clubs--not surprising, though. He switches out a few pins to go on the defensive. ... he's played his share of video games--there should probably be someone in the front, mowing people down, and someone in the back, taking apart the stragglers and helping him move into the crowd. And as he fires sharp energy bullets from his hand, he does just that.]

neku: 1, kanda: 0

[tembleques]

[ offensive is all kanda knows. he runs forward, slashing into two soldiers and ducking to avoid a fireball aimed towards his face; when he stands, the energy bullets from neku follow suit and bring down the guy with the spells. kanda takes the opportunity to jump, boot the falling soldier on the face, and use the momentum to fall atop a group of soldiers with swords and fists, aiming with the sharp edge of mugen at shoulder blades, hitting with the blunt side across the neck of the others. at the flurry of movement, one arm flies off its hold as kanda moves back in a defensive stance. ]

Tch, there's a lot more of them than before!

damn right 8)

[healthysoda]

[Neku glances over to a fallen bike before skidding over to it. Though it looks like he's just smacking it into the air and towards a crowd of incoming soldiers, it's his mind doing all the work. Good thing he has Cure Drink on hand, just in case he or Kanda start tripping over themselves and make mistakes. Not that it's likely to happen, because hey--him and Kanda. At first, he starts closing in when Kanda starts to make a major beatdown, causing another force of boulders to rain down from the sky.]

Crap--!

[One soldier, with a large, heavy sword, is headed straight towards Kanda's back. He's too far away--damn it. Switching out Cure Drink (he knows he'll probably regret it later) for an invisibility pin, he seems to run for a moment--and disappears, to reappear near Kanda, shooting the man who was about to stick a sword in his back with energy bullets.]

next time, kid

[tembleques]

[ albeit a little too late (mortally late), kanda notices the soldier with the big ass sword coming at him from behind around his peripheral vision. his hands are busy though, as he fends off the soldiers immediately in front of him, who rather than fear the brutality of his action, now seem more eager to get him. ] Tch!

[ it's either risk a front attack or suffer a slash from behind. the decision comes too late, but at the blur of orange and purple behind him, kanda decides to trust this kid and hack forward to get some breathing space from the tumult of soldiers coming at them from up front.

i see, so now kanda is in debt. dammit. ] Where are they coming from? [ kind of not expecting an answer, but hopes neku can hold on his own side while the next avalanche comes at them ]

sure, kanda, sure

[healthysoda]

[Nah, it's very unlikely Neku'll say he is in the little time he has left. Neku has to focus on taking out pretty much all of them with his raining boulders idea, even though he's getting pissed off enough that he just m might use a fire pin.]

No clue--fuck!

[Someone's got his arm. Of course, since he's smaller and... pubescent, he doesn't quite have enough of a powerhouse to take them down. But someone's about to bring down that heavy sword and--]

Cover your ears!

[And he only can wait a few moments before he lets out a loud, dizzying scream, like he just yelled into a microphone and it's ricocheting off of the buildings around. The attack seems to immobilize everyone near them for a few seconds.]

respect me, adopted son

[tembleques]

Motherfu-- [ all he can get out before he sort of collapses to his knees, covering his ears albeit a little too late to the warning. he shoots a glare at neku, a bit stunned by this.

GAME OVER? INSERT COIN. ] WHAT THE HELL? [ now he's yelling because he can ]
