"So that's how it is."

Heat glowered with his back to Serph, arms crossed obstinately over his chest.

He was tense, peeved. His Leader didn't tell him what he wanted to hear at all, but he couldn't say it was too much of a shocker,

[was a good little Yaka and tagged along with Peorth. A little bewildered at Peorth's langauge, but just as angry. Will remain silent for the moment]

[ura_no_ura]

*He'd been observing the two men from the rooftop, and hadn't expected Peorth to suddenly show up. Their chakra was strange, and didn't feel calm -- it was enough for Kakashi to keep his distance and try to stay out of sight until he figured out what they were about -- but with Peorth suddenly showing up, staying out of sight was no longer an option.

Kakashi jumps down from the roof and lands right in front of Peorth and the girl who's with her -- placing himself between Peorth and the men. One hand extends outwards to stop Peorth from moving forwards, his back towards her.*

[ura_no_ura]

*He doesn't look at her, keeping his eye trained on the men before them -- he has no idea what the Valkyries are but if Peorth says she can fend for herself -- he can only take her word for it.*

I only just arrived a little earlier. *His voice is only loud enough for Peorth and the girl behind them, to hear. His words aren't meant for the men in front of them.* These men -- they don't have normal chakra. There's something... different about them. Especially the one with red hair.

[confused almost entirely, all this terminology flies right over her head. But she's listening closely nonetheless. Apparently these men are different, that's all she can understand]

*The appearance of the angry woman and the girl did not alarm Serph. He remained seated on the step. He'd noticed Heat visibly tense up, readying himself for a potential attack... However, when Kakashi jumps down between them; facing the Embryon tribesmen and seemingly standing to defend the women, Serph rises up to his feet.

The dark brand on his face begins to radiate a bright, aquamarine blue. Tendrils of the colour begin to slowly spread across his face but he keeps his devil at bay. There's three of these strange people and only two Embryon. Being at a disadvantage in numbers has never deterred Serph. He takes a step forward, allowing himself to stand beside Heat -- reaching out to lightly touch his redheaded comrade's wrist, signaling for him to keep his weapon lowered at this time.*

...

*The moment he sees that glow, and feels that sudden flare of violent chakra that prickles and stabs right at him, he realizes it's probably better to be a little more prepared -- his fingers slide up to his hitai-ate and he lifts it, revealing the black wheels spinning on a bright red iris leveled steady on the men before him.

For all intents and purposes, it looks like he's just straightening a crooked, armored headband.*

[glances at both Kakashi and Peorth, seemingly getting ready for a fight. Unfortunately, there's not much she can do to change her own methods for battle, except be on better alert. She waits and watches, keeping her hands at her sides]

I can't say I understand, Miss Peorth. But for the record I'm... pretty sure they aren't Yaka...

[fevoreish]

*Though his hand itches to grip his weapon, and the sour look on his face is a testament to his feelings about Serph's decision, Heat obediently leaves his grenade launcher lowered. The touch on his own wrist, and Serph's own struggle for control over Varna initiates the struggle for control over his devil, Agni. Like with Danny Fenton not so long ago, the fireball emblem on his right forearm glows a bright, ominous red.*

Tch.

*He trembles, thin veins of red spreading like a virus across his body. He clenched his fists and, with some effort, made a show of casualness by placing his hands behind his head. The situation is tense as hell, that's for sure, but being outnumbered never scared Heat before, and it wouldn't scare him today. He is ready for action at Serph's signal. Heat eyes each of the (wo)men assembled there in turn.*

Which one of you is the leader?

[wind_upon_waves]

[A flash of yellow by Kakashi's side reveals Minato, tense and alert. He'd heard his student's SOS and had immediately made his way here, and just in time, it seems, since a fight hasn't broken out just yet. He nods briefly in greeting to the two ladies, before turning to the jounin. The Yondaime then focuses on the two men across from them, noting their strange chakra.]

Kakashi. [His student's Sharingan is exposed; he'll likely know more about their opponents.]

[ura_no_ura]

*The energy that pulses, radiates, from the red and aqua brands is immense and Kakashi can see it growing within them -- it reminds him of bijuu chakra, dark, malevolent.* Yondaime-sama. *He murmurs in response, a quiet greeting, before he answers the redhead's question, raising his voice loud enough for the two to hear.*

I'm not sure what you mean by "leader." None of us are even from the same world. *A beat.* In case you haven't noticed -- this isn't the world you're from.

[fevoreish]

Leader. Your commander, damn it. What else would you call a leader?

*Already Heat is getting impatient with this guy. He crosses his arms over his chest.*

That isn't of any concern anymore. I want answers. *The red tendrils spread further. His fists, obscured by his crossed arms, tighten in tandem with the questioning.* Who is the Overlord? Where can we find her?

[cannibalcrown]

*Serph crosses his arms over his chest, analyzing the situation before them. He stays silent, allowing Heat to attempt negotiations for the time being. He has faith his comrade will control himself.*
