Description: During some of the darkest times of Southtown, patrolling students possibly bite off more than they can chew when they investigate a loud bang which turns out to be a NESTS agent. Fighting ensues and there can be only one.
Southtown. Only just leaving Chinatown there was one thing apparent. Stuff was going DOWN. Still the red clad woman, with her scooter parked nearby, was only interested in one thing. Amassing her own friends to work together in an attempt to have a positive impact on world politics. It was a lofty aim. But if others could form mercenary groups of villians, why couldn't she form a similar group with more friendly aims? After all, magic is supposed to make people happy right? And Naerose was totally a witch, therefore she should be working toward making people happy, especially herself. Unfortunately groups cost money and if there was one thing that Naerose did not have, it was cash. Having left her usual stomping ground of China town, Naerose, dressed in her red witches hat, a pair of black circular shades, a red dress with poofy sleeves which arn't attached to said dress, knee high boots and a broom, adds a single accessory to her outfit. A red power tie. This would be the straw that breaks the camels back. Somehow this was sure to score Naerose the support she needed.
Unfortunately every bank she has been to so far were quick to hang ththe 'No witches allowed sign' in the window. How they were so adept and prepared for her she might never know, but perhaps she was looking for the wrong kind of support. Now seated on the top of a mailbox, bowing over a newspaper and a phone book with a red crayon, Naerose continues to check off the people who would not give her money to fund her little organization.
Today is one of those days when K9999 attempts to pretend he's a normal person, no matter how impossible that may be. He saw someone wearing a university outfit, and with the turn of a corner, he suddenly had on a white button up shirt, a blue dress jacket with the university's emblem on it, matching blue pants, and black dress shoes. He doesn't bother to actually /talk/ to anyone, who said that was required for being normal? Instead, he's digging into a large bag of peanuts with his blue gloved hand, eyeing groups of university students. Why's that guy so popular? His arm could probably /eat/ that guy. Hey, that girl's looking, what's she looking at, he's not some sort of freak! Ignore that the guy is actually smiling warmly. Eventually he comes to the mailbox, stopping directly in front of the strange woman to /stare/ and /eat/, not creepy at all.
At first the creep detector doesn't go off. I mean come on, Naerose is busy. She's trying to figure out what business to ask about giving her money. Then she notices a university student with a really nasty look to him. Sorry K, you can't hide it, you look like bad news. Peering over the top rims of her shades, Naerose just sort of stares back for a moment. Then she sortof turns on her mailbox so as not to be facing him, with an expression that just shouts ... ooookkkay then. And hunches back over her list of businesses that might be worth approaching. The YYFC? Is that what it was called..? She scratches her cheek, "I wonder if charities donate to other charities?" Of course her aim was to make a for profit business. Not exactly a charity. A sidelong glance at the weirdo. Oooookkaay then.
"Hi there," Naerose says with a big beaming smile to her first possible contributor.. or recruit. Either one would work find for her. Then again didn't she somehow convince someone? Sort of? The witch presses her red painted lips together, after saying hi to K, cause she's thinking!
Suddenly presented with a social situation, K9999 has to figure out the best way to avoid it completely exploding into social awkwardness and humiliation. He smiles, which comes out a lot like a Hannibal type of smile as he offers her his bag of peanuts. "Hey, they call me K9. My real name is stupid so I don't wanna say it." That's his story and he's sticking to it. "And you are?" he asks with an unsteady voice, his question coming out as if he's completely unsure if he even wanted to ask it.
"K9? Woah Cool!" Naerose exclaims and peanuts to boot? She totally accepts some. She couldn't careless what his real name is. There was even debate amongst scholars as to what her real name is, but she simply introduces herself as, "My name is Naerose. " She looks down at what she is doing, a phonebook half opened and a newspaper. A little sheepish, Naerose continues, "I'm ahh, trying to find contributors for a little project of mine. You know like , breaking free from the people trying to cramp your style by going off on your own? That's totally me." Only in Naerose's case those people fired her and what she was actually trying to prove was that she could do her best work when no one believed in her. Which was more or less where she was.
She starts to eat the nuts and for lack of anyplace to put her red crayon, shoves it between her teeth. The first nut goes in and she ends up eating the end of the crayon too. It wasn't the first time. The crayon meanwhile falls onto the newspaper in hopes of getting away from her before she ate more of it, she meanwhile looks sidelong at K9999 with a lack of any clue what to say to him next.
"If you can break free, do it, but if you want followers you'll have to crush them with your own power." K9999 instructs in a casualy dramatic way, raising one leg to slam his foot against the mailbox and plant it there, leaning in to rest one arm on his raised leg. "They won't respect you until you stomp 'em into the ground, make 'em eat dirt, then when they're begging for you not to jam your drill into their skull, offer 'em a job." He stands up straight and holds his arms out in an 'all-knowing' way, adding, "Those are the steps to success."
Woah. This guy was intense. If Naerose wasn't mistaken, K9 was totally dominating the mailbox. She looked down to make sure he didn't dominate it so bad that she had no where to sit. So far so good. Though his words don't jive at all with what Naerose is trying to do, "Well I mean okay," She knows his style, seen it used before, "What if instead I er.. had something they wanted and only agreed to give it to them if they were helpful to what I wanted to do and only gave it to them in bits, instead of all at once?" This one was just a clever way of saying, 'well what if I paid them?' It wasn't that Naerose doubted her own ability. She was a witch! She could probably magic them or something (though she's never tried turning anyone into a newt). Why not trust she could use force? Her history of using force might be one reason not to trust it, but who cares about history!
Laughing at the idea of an alternative at first, K9999 decides to give it a bit of thought, his expression calming sightly. "I don't think the kidnapping and chopping up family and friends plan works if you want something that'll last." he explains as a woman overhears, then crosses the street with her child, giving him dirty looks. "You should try money instead, if you don't wanna do it the easy way, and if you can afford it. Money or power, that's what everyone seems to want, and they'll go as low as they have to for it."
There are two options here. Option A: Naerose says, 'That's totally not what I was thinking!' and runs away, gets on her scooter, shouting, 'see ya sucker' and tries to steal his peanuts before making a thrilling escape at a scorching 35 MPH. Option B: Naerose says, 'Oh, Money, yeah, that totally makes more sense.' and doesn't let on that she wasn't considering the family member option at all. Like. Woah. Needless to say though, for someone who would bring up that possibilty, Naerose gives option B a try while fixing her hat mysteriously. Then, to add to the mysteriousness, talks with her hat tugged down to shade her face with the brim,
"So I need to find a financier. that's the tricky part. Banks arn't willing to give out loans and besides, I think I'd rather find a partnership sort of deal, err. They give me money, I provide services in return. That sort of thing." She gives a small shrug as if it ain't no thang.
"I think you're missing something." K9999 reaches out to try and grab her wrist and start pulling her off somewhere. "They won't give you the money, but you need it, and they have more than enough of it. Prostitution isn't the answer, you seem like you're above that. No, the answer is..." He dramatically points to a bank, seeming to not be all too worried about the people walking by and listening. "Bank robbery! Rob a bank, the most they can do is call the police, and by the time they find you, you'll have your group together." He's smiling excitedly, and it's hard to say what kind of group he's assuming she's making, but clearly they can stop the police!
"Huh?" Naerose says while being suddenly dragged off, only just getting her broom in hand (cause she always needs that) And losing the crayon, the phonebook and the newspaper. Then looking at the bank and listening to K9, this guy was totally hard core though it was intentse! Though bank robbery, sounded more like the sort of thing she used to be doing. Well the question would be could she handle it, not get caught and still have the kind of ethical high ground to build an orgnization..? Then again, they were insurred by the FDIC, she read about that somewhere, up to like 250k. Though she also read some banks were only holding that insurrance for a limited time. But federally it was a permenant change. This mmeant that banks were total thieves and probably deserved to be robbed. Except.. She's in japan and none of what she's been thinking about applies at all.
"W.. well ahh, I dunno if I'm like dressed for it and besides, I dunno if I have the crew for the heavy lifting." Though she protests she is not really fighting being dragged along. Naerose never protested people being nice to her.
Continuing his march toward the bank, he suddenly cuts into a small alley, releasing her hand. "I'll help you rob the bank, since it's for your freedom, but one day I'm gonna want something in return." He dramatically turns around to face away from her, and just as he does, the university uniform vanishes, and a large red cape flows behind him. "You're gonna owe me, and I'm gonna collect one day. If you back out after I help, well..." He doesn't verbally threaten, he holds up his blue glove which morphs into a long wide drill, then he slams it into the side of the bank and begins working through the wall.
Such a high degree of uncertainty as Naerose is in an alley with a fella willing to just rob a bank for her. Robbing banks was wrong, of course, but getting free money to do good things, how could that be wrong when it felt so right?! Actually it felt pretty wrong, but the fact was, Naerose wasn't doing anything to stop him. She shifted her weight, looked around nervously, fixed her shades, leaned on her broom and finally says in a really quiet voice, "Umm, what kind of favor would you want in return?" Yep. Not making any move what so ever to stop the apparent crime from happening. Naerose was pretty much chaotic neutral.
The wall continues getting drilled away, a small pile of concrete forming as he gets closer and closer to the vault. K9999 seemed a bit occupied with his drilling to actually answer at first, grinning at the silent buzzing of his arm against the wall. "I don't know yet. Depends on what you can do." he decides before pushing the drill harder, getting it half way in so far. Then his drill hits something hard and metallic; the vault? "I think I found it!" And with a hard push of his drill, there's a sudden small exposion from the wall, and he hits the building right behind him, slumping to the ground. Gas pipe.
An explosion?!
Gan hadn't been far from his patrol - the sandal clad Gedo-student watching as a plume of smoke following a rather loud BANG brings his attention from across the town. There's always bad things happening, recently. There's only one way to stop it. It involves a rather large student barreling towards the bank - the Student being Gan Isurugi, a giant of a kid, arriving.
"...Hmm... COME OUT!" Gan bellows, his hands cupping around her mouth as he bellows towards those who are inside. "If you do not come out, I'll be forced to come in after you and make you stop anyhow! This is the only warning I am willing to give!"
He peeks in anyhow - looking on, at the area, carefully.
Who could be doing this?! It certainly can't be the fat man from before. Could it?
What was that?!
Nagare has been around, protecting what he could and what he will. The days continue when the attacks continue. Fighting off all of the men that continue to wage war against the schools and southtown are beginning to wear even on the ones entirely built for perservance! Nagare was definitely in this field.
Wearing nothing but swim gear, a speedo and a windbreaker like jacket, Nagare sets off in flippers towads whever the explosion came from.
Soon he sees Gan, which is really hard to miss due to his size, but doesn't stop. He's close, he has to get closer now. Wandering around will help enough. Whenever Nagare finds the person responsible, then he'll be able to deal with them!
The explosion also put Naerose into a trash can, with the lid slamming shut after swallowing the witch whole. Was this how it felt to be devoured by her? Tossed in with a bunch of trash? And was that brown bag lunch only half eaten? Cause Naerose knew what to do with the other half if it was. . . . Then comes the shouting and Nae knows. It's totally the po po. Peeking out from beneath the trash can lid, Naerose is sure this will go badly. She decides to wait a moment to pull herself out of the trash can. You know, surprise retreat.
Slowly standing up from the ground, coughing up smoke as the skin of his face bulges, then quickly reforms to normalcy. The yelling, the obnoxious yelling, as if K9999 has much room to talk. He slowly approaches the entrance of the alley, his large red cape being blown by wind and smoke. "Hey, stupid! We're in the alley." says the irritable clone who didn't even manage to get into the bank.
K9999 yells out from the alley. The larger kid staring down the clone. "So you are ..... so you'll be better off leaving." Is all Gan really needs to say. He takes his hands, grips them together, and begins to crack his knuckles. "I wouldn't want to fight if we can avoid it .. but I have a feeling you're with one of the groups causing this, here."
He advances, probably not towering over K9999, but rather large, all the same. "So you better leave this place, and these people be, and see where else you'd be better off." He notes, staring down at the caped NESTS crusader.
"Get out." He repeats, muscles tensing as he prepares to deal with the situation if it gets any worse.
Nagare continues to move out as K9999 cries out that they were there. The nerve! Nagare isn't sure exactly how its all going to go down, well... he's going to try to stop them, that's for certain! Nagare moves as K9999 cries out, following Gan as the giant moves towards the alleyway.
The smoke should really be a dead give away, but they may have really ran afterwards. Now, here they are.
"Gan, I'm here to help! Lets get rid of them." Nagare announces, "This is even starting to wear on me."
THEM! Well, K9 did say 'WE' were in the alleyway. So they know there is more than one of K9, but ... Naerose in the dumpster with the lid almost entirely shut. She is just peering through a crack and totally freaking out man. Except, well these two don't LOOK like cops and well they sure don't even seem to know why they need to be pissed. It's like they just assumed crime was happening. Naerose was totally certain she could talk her way out of this until K9 looks ready to beat the tar out of someone. Opening the brown bag lunch, half eaten, she finds that whomever had this lunch previously didn't even open their apple sauce. SCORE! Naerose starts to eat it while in the trash can. Happily pretending she isn't sitting on trash, surrounded by trash while two angry people are wanting to beat her up.
Almost appearing to calm down when Gan says he wouldn't want to fight, but then the demands come, the 'Better leave' and the 'Get out'. K9999's face goes from calm to absolute rage, hair turning a silvery white as his cape blows violently from some unseen force. "Are you... giving me orders?" he asks as he moves to grip the handle of Naerose's can, appearing ready to throw it. "Who do you think you are? Who do you think /I/ am? You don't control me, you don't know what I can do!" he exclaims with absolute fury, then tries to toss Nae with her trashcan directly at Gan.

Well, that set him off! Gan, peaceful, is suddenly onset by a /beast/. His words, menacing. His actions, even more so. As K9999 asks if he's giving him orders, Gan shakes his head. "I had meant to say it in a nicer way .. but you must be them after all. I don't have anything nice to say to you.. or your masters." He nearly growls, very un-Gan-like!
And then, TRASH CAN. "I don't know who you are .. but I know you are dangerous. To protect the people here.. I can only be sure of it if I remove what could harm them, as the Don would will it." After a lot of words.. Nagare! "Right...They've been here too long already!"
Gan takes the trash-can. His body is ready, muscles that were tense taking the blow. Gan barely even slides back as the trash-can is introduced to Gan levels of meat, the object slamming against and falling before him.
We? Them? Gan looks down at the trash can. He picks it up - ... this is not just a trash can. There's something.. inside of it. "HGRAAAH! Trying to hide?! You can't this time!" Gan hefts the can so easily, before pulling it upwards, and then leaping. "Come OUT!" Naerose would find herself trapped between Gan and a hard place, as he spins through the air, aiming to slam the can STRAIGHT INTO THE GROUND.
Might be bad!

Nagare's vision rests upon K9999, even as Gan gets a trashcan to his features. His dance seems to be with a one called K9999, and sure enough Nagare is up to dealing with one of NESTS most angriest creations. Berserker in nature and many other things, K9999 is one of those you want to make sure isn't going to tear up the whole town in an attempt to kill you.
"Yes, we're telling you to leave, not asking you. Asking you to leave was weeks ago, now we can only tell you to go." Nagare exclaims, shaking his head. The man is wearing flippers, a speedo and goggles. Even handflippers and a Taiyo High jacket.
"You could leave... but I know you won't, and that's why we're going to make you." Nagare exclaims, moving towards K9999 in a break flip flop run, throwing himself right towards K9999 to explode beneath him and... swim into the air from between K9999's legs, attempting to lift him, turn about and then crush K9999 on the ground beneath!

Naerose in a trashcan @_@. Then following the piledriver X_X. On top of that the apple sauce she was eating just totally exploded and now she's covered in it. Not that anyone can see that because she's STILL in the trashcan. Except the lid goes rolling off, into the street, making a break for it from this uncalled for abuse, meanwhile the witch inside remains inside, with the big withy hat poking out of the top of the trash can, complete with a french fry carton acting as a hat to the hat and crowning the pointy top. The red hat merely acts as the new lid for the previous one while the witch, stunned, in a trashcan, just sort of lays there.
"Not asking me? /Masters/? /Make me/?" K9999 practically fumes with rage, a large vein appearing in the middle of his forehead as Nagare slides inbetween his legs. He goes reeling from the throw, but holds both arms in front of him to brace the impact when he slams into the ground, rolling back a few feet when he's finally released. "/You/ don't make demands to /me/, I'll smash your face into the ground, make you eat trash, and beg /me/ to give /you/ orders! I'll make you lick my boots!"
He leaps into the air, cape wildly flowing behind him as he flips around and slams a heavy heel toward Nagare, not bothering to aim anywhere in particular, he just wants to /hurt/.
As Naerose lands on the ground, trashcan and all, Gan picks up the trash-can and upturns it, dropping Naerose, and trash, towards the ground. As the red witch and fry-carton .. and other garbage... are let out of the trashcan, Gan looks down. "If you have no intention to fight, you should probably leave." He claims to the red witch - and the trash really.
Otherwise, Gan looks onto Nagare and K9999, letting the witch, at the moment, sit about. He needs to get involved with her more .. if she only intends to sit around!

Oof! Nagare finds himself being driven backwards by K9999's blow. It hurt practically alot, even as he rolls backwards to a stop with his back against a brick wall. Nagare was not finish however, no, Nagare wasn't even started! The heavy kick's heel drop was enough to throw Nagare backwards, but Nagare is one of the most resiliant fighters when it comes to that.
"I'm afraid that's not possible. I'm not letting you stay here any longer." Nagare announces, getting up off the ground as he pulls himself up, attacking K9999 the only way he knows how.
K9999 will find himself on the end of two hands, each overlapping one another aimed towards his chest. Nagare is attempting to deliver a life saving technique... in hopes to break K9999's ribs? No.
Just slow him down.
A empty fry carton is on her hat, but as she sits up, there is more, oh so much more. A banana peel sits on Naerose's left shoulder, her entire right arm is covered in a newspaper. Her nose has a used bandaid sitting on it, her shades have a twisty straw hanging onto them and as she stands fully, it is clear that a vacuum bag exploded and painted her entire left side dusty brown. Eww.
"Huh, hey wait.. " Naerose looks at the fighting people,
"Do any of you know what you'r even fighting over?" They don't know that it was a bank robbery attempt. But still, she tries to play peacemaker.

Nagare and K9999 are continuing their fight, and Gan looks down at the witch - red in color - as she speaks - standing fully up to face Gan. It's still a bit hard to face him, but it's almost close. Almost. "I would like to know why you were in the trash-can, located so close to the explosion." Gan is simple, but he's not entirely dumb.
"I won't be fooled by a thug or criminal..." He states. Unlike Billy. Unlike the others, there is something about the witch. Something /wrong/. Perhaps it's the fact that she is wearing a Halloween getup. Perhaps it's that she was hiding in the trash-can nearby the bank that had a gas-line explode. Perhaps it's the fact that she's seemingly shaken up his assault to the trash-can.
"Leave." WITHOUT FOOD. Gan is the food denyer, having denied Chang a tasty chicken feast.
Now, he will deny Naerose.. money to buy food.
"You can't /let/ me do anything, I can do what I like! Do you think you can beat me with your ego? Someone as powerful as me? Do you know who I /am/? I'm K99--" his exclamation is suddenly cut off when the hands slam into his chest and his heart skips a few beats, causing him to step all the way back into a wall, holding his chest and trying to breath.
"Y-you..." he tries to say with his lack of breath, then suddenly yells, "Get away from me!" followed by a large arc of invisible force that knocks trash out of the way and cuts through the air, aiming to slam directly into Nagare and repel him.

Nagare finds K9999 barelling right through his assault. Its unexpected. Immediately unexpected as it stands. Nagare isn't really sure what to think as K9999 attempts to give the swimmer something to think about, the large arc of unseeable force ripping towards Nagare.
Even Nagare isn't really sure what that is to begin with. Then the trash and papers are lifted up off the ground besides and around him, causing the swimmer to immediately do the first thing he thinks of.
Arms pop up to stop K9999 from pushing and further inwards, the assault battering down upon Nagare even as he's thrusted backwards, gritting and bearing the assault upon his frame.
"Where did that even come from..." Nagare wonders as he catches his breath, looking up towrads K9999. "No, we're not letting you wreak any more havoc on southtown!"

"Wait hold on," Naerose continues to try to dispell things, being all peacey and stuff, "Look, you two look like find upstanding gentlemen, I'm not a trouble maker, really, I'm just trying to get contributors together so I can fund a group of proactive figures in world politics, capable of inserting themselves into situations like this before they get out of hand." Naerose holds out her hands, broom in one, to show she means no harm and keeps on talking, "You know, you should really look before you leap." And then realizes she is COVERED in garbage and a fight is still going on. Yuck!
"It's my power!" K9999 gleefully exclaims, beginning to laugh maniacally as red energy wildly swirls around him, blowing his cape in random directions and knocking any trash that might be near him away.
"Havoc, /havoc/? You haven't seen havoc! I could crush this town, make the streets run red with blood, just to spite /you/! But no, it's you I want, I'll slowly break every bone in your body, centimeter by centimeter, until you're nothing but a cracking sack of flesh!" he declares, the red energy suddenly flowing into his body before ceasing completely, which causes a wide grin to appear on his face.

Naerose continues to work to dispel things. She talks about how she is - .. Gan just loses it. He can't understand half the things that Naerose is saying, talking on this and that. Talking about how he should look before he leaps. Talking and talking!
It's got to be lies. All lies.
"I've heard enough. If you were innocent you'd just leave.. so I'll help us both out." Gan notes, attempting to pick Naerose up, giving a heave-ho, and aiming to toss Naerose.. away!
If she had just .. like .. left, it'd have made her look innocent! Especially with the guy /shooting chi bullets from his hand/.
Nagare shakes his head as he gets his breath back. K9999 certainly isn't a really happy camper. Not in this situation nor any other situation that he might be involved in. Nagare has to make sure to shut the crazed individual down or risk having much of the town in peril.
"Well... that's not a very positive look but... I'm certain that it's going to be a lot harder to beat me up than it looks." Nagare exclaims, watching the violent red ribbons of energy rippling off of K9999 as he grins.
Nagare advances, attempting to go after K9999 even in the heart of the red ribbons. There, he'll attempt to deliver a flipper jab followed by a flipper uppercut. Afterwards, two more flipper strikes towards K9999's chest at once.
He wasn't giving up the goat yet.

Naerose looks at K9 and everything he has to say, "I'd hate to steal your thunder!" she exclaims and turns to try and bolt, out of the alley.
"You two should really relax, what'd you of done if I'd unleashed my awesome witch craft?" Of course she doesn't say it to their faces.

Quickly doing this best to block each attack, getting driven into a wall again as his frustration continues to grow. "You think you can beat me? You, some half naked man, against me, possibly the most powerful and perfected creation on this planet?" K9999 laughs again, rather loudly as it echos through the alley.
"It must be nice, to live in that head of yours." The red energy suddenly /explodes/, forming a large sphere that presses hard against the walls, putting heavy pressure on the concrete as the large red energy shield pulsates with energy, trying to slam Nagare away with it. The sudden red flash wouldn't be hard to see from close by.
As Naerose pushes Gan back, he stumbles backwards, falling over. As Naerose looks at K9999, trying to bolt out of the way, Gan attempts to follow her. He .. of course.. starts on his rear though. Getting up takes some time, and as Gan gets to the edge of the alley, Naerose is long gone. Shaking his head, the giant gedo student turns back to K9999 and Nagare.
Well, that was interesting. "Heheh... Looks like you're along now." He notes, as he begins to grow closer towards K9999 and Nagare...
But Nagare is clearly on his side!
What does this mean.. for K9999!? "You shouldn't have came here...and stayed." Suddenly, K9999 /flash/. Gan holds his massive hand infront of his eyes as he watches on.

Nagare can be slippery if he wants to be. This isn't ever better expressed than as Nagare floats over K9999, his body lifting off at the last second at the blast of energy explodes forward, the red pulsating sphere ripping through the air as Nagare flops about. Water chi drips from Nagare's figure as he swims through thing air, only to come right down, almost falling on his face as he does.
"I don't live in another world. Nor do I think attire is everything." Nagare exclaims, "Swimming is a veritable fighting style that I have proven to be effective!" The teenager announces as he lowers his gaze upon K9999.
Vault! Nagare lifts off, coming down through the air as he kicks forward, flopping wildly to slap K9999 in the face with his flippers.
"I don't care if I can beat you or not... I just gotta try to."

Taking repeated loud slaps to the face, almost being driven to the wall again as he begins to bruise and a trickle of blood falls from his nose, he suddenly just slams his foot on the ground to stop himself before he can hit the wall again. "You don't wanna get serious with me? You wanna keep screwing around, slapping me, treating me like trash? You think I'm trash? Not good enough to kill? Or maybe you're just weak, maybe slapping and punching and kicking is all you have! But I have more!"
He holds up his blue gloved hand, then it suddenly twists into a screeching drill that he quickly attempts to drive right into Nagare's stomach. "Just die!"
Yeah, the nice thing about being K9999's partner/keeper/anger management coach...or whatever you want to call it, is that it's not often hard to find him if he ever goes off on his own. He's loud, he's destructive, and he attracts a lot of attention! So while Angel was never quite informed that he left to go on a rampage by himself, she does happen to catch the familiar sound of his voice on the wind from someplace way far down the street, where she was just shopping for a new pair of shades at a little sunglass hut on the corner.
Now at first, she thinks maybe it's just her imagination, so she shrugs and goes back to what she was doing. But then there's this flash and she's like "whoa, okay then", and slaps some money down on the counter, grabs two pairs of cheap sunglasses, and takes off like a shot. And it might even be a few blocks to where they flame-wielding clone is fighting, she doesn't really keep track, but, it only takes her a few seconds to get there regardless, because she's crazy fast. "Kay-4-Ninessss~ Who are these kids? What's going on? What'd you dooo?" she asks him on approach, skidding to a halt and putting her hands on her hips like some kind of concerned babysitter. Only her expression doesn't look stern. She's more... smirking about it, as she looks over to wiggle her fingers at both Nagare and Gan.

Gan is busy watching as K9999 and Nagare clash - and the odd fighting styles from both do not lend any help to the student. It's not until Angel speaks up that Gan notices her, turning slowly - the mountain of green jacket and flesh turning to look down upon the smaller, skimpy Angel. He regards her for a moment. She must know of this trouble-maker if she speaks to him.
"Do not get involved.. we found him here, and his intentions were involving this bank... And if he's with them, then you're with them... the invaders." His words are a bit dark in that tone, anything but liking the fact that one of them has come to help their own.
Of course, he must posture. So Angel truly understands. "I would leave us be .. and take him back with you after we've made sure he won't harm anyone."
Why yes, Gan is Gedo, and Gedo believes group beat-downs are an important part of safety.

Woah is that fist a drill?! Nagare finds out first hand that WOAH THAT FIST IS A DRILL. The drill cuts forward and into Nagare, twisting and screeching as it does strike. It's a weird feeling, definitely not all flesh. It pierces but finds itself not strong enough to actually pierce Nagare terribly. Still it leaves the boy breathing heavily, his arms unable to prevent the assault.
As soon as he can, Nagare bolts, escaping the screwing power of the drill as he flops upon the ground barely.
"W-woah... your arm can turn into..." Nagare coughs as he gets up, bleeding by the chest. Nagare however isn't about to give up the goat yet. "If you want to get serious, then I will too." Nagare announces, pulling his goggles down over his face before leaping into the air, actually swimming as he goes. Up and up and up and up, higher and higher into the air before.... simply falling, waterchi dripping down before him as he aims to land upon K9999, flopping.
Yes, a headfirst dive towards K9999 and the cement. How riveting!

"I was trying to rob a bank, then these two came, /ordering/ me around! I was gonna leave, but they think they're better than me, they actually think they can tell me what to do! Kill that bastard!" K9999 yells as he points directly to Gan, but then out of no where, here comes Nagare's dive, slamming directly into him and smashing his body into the ground.
He lays there for a few moments, it all seems to be over behind all the dust, but then he slowly begins to stand in the midst of his mini-crater formed by Nagare's attack. He's foaming at the mouth, loading with an inhumanly deep tone as his right arm starts to bulge and pop with a mixture of flesh and random metallic bits. "You hit hard, you made me unstable, and now you're gonna see what both man and God didn't intend. A perfected abomination!"
He yells in incredible pain, aiming his arm at Nagare, then suddenly it begins to rapidly expand, flesh and metal filling up the alley and going to ram directly at Nagare, and even try to consume him. "Aaaaaaaaahhh!!!"
See, the thing about that is, Angel doesn't really have any way of getting K9999 to stop his violence by force alone. As Gan has already noticed, she doesn't look especially big, or strong. And she's certainly not carrying a weapon! So what does he expect her to do? All she can really do is try to talk him down.
"Oh is THAT all. I guess I can save asking 'why' for later, but you know what, you two must be pretty troublesome if you were able to get him this mad! So umm... nope, I think it's better that I stay and let him vent a while, and do whatever I can to keep you out of his face while I'm at it!" the white-haired Mexican girl spits back, clenching a fist and holding it up near her face a moment as she makes a funny face. This by itself may not look like much of a threat, but then she stomps her foot and causes a ripple of energy to spread out along the ground in front of her, and she hops forward, looking like she's going to punch the big guy somewhere in his gut. But her fist will never quite touch, regardless of what happens. A shockwave of focused energy will merely flow out of it and slam into him to make it feel like she did.

Keep him out of their face in the meantime?! Gan is certain there'll be trouble - and there certainly is! As Angel exclaims she'll keep Gan out of his face - while Nagare stays in K9999's face.
Gan .. could have taken far more things to get in his face though! "You can try." He exclaims, before Angel clenches her fist .. and then stomps her foot. As Angel causes that ripple of energy to spread out along the ground, hopping forwards, with a shockwave of focused energy.
Gan is anything but happy about such an assault.. it's so fast. His muscles tense as he pushes through it, taking a step against the shockwave, forcing his body to push forwards. It strains him - but he doesn't relent. "Hah... you .. aren't going to have it so easy!" As the shockwave buffers him, he reaches out for her as she moves close, to grasp her, pull her nearby, and crush her between his grip, tightening it - the massive hands almost able to get around her body!
And then he'll simply head-butt her back to the ground, if she's not careful! "Hahahah! You'll need to do better than that!"

W-woah... that's a lot of power!
Nagare isn't even expecting it when it comes. As he comes down he even flops about like a fish, his body and legs wiggling around like a trout for a moment before he pulls himself up off the ground, shaking himself off as he looks towards K9999. He's more livid, more aware of his situations after that little fishy frollic.
Just in time. Something is unsettling to Nagare. He cannot put his hand on it but he can tell that this isn't a rather normal strike. Definitely not normal. Especially as K9999 speaks of unstable mutations and abominations.
"W-what? What are you talking about..." Nagare begins, only for the arm to rip out, expanding and exploding forward towards Nagare with a terrible speed. Nagare's eyes go wide as he sees the column of flesh hurtling through the small alleyway towards him. He cannot escape left or right, he's only got two real options and the first one doesn't seem to enjoyable to him.
Pulling up both of his arms, Nagare attempts to take the blow as is at the last moment, the tremendous column slamming into him. Enough to send Nagare driven back through the alley, picking up trash as he is forced back, acting more like as street sweep than a fighter. His arms are ragged and red when he finally stops, driven right against the edge of the alley as he finally allowed to breath. The back of his arms are numb, ragged and burnt, chapped and bleeding wherever he cannot feel. The entire back of both arms. They're too wounded to use right now, if he throws a punch he knows its going to hurt him more.
"Ngrh.... what are you..." Nagare murmurs, "I'm not sure anymore... but I'm going to take you down so you cannot hurt others..." Nagare announces, leaping forward in towards K9999 to deliver a monsterous flipper kick towards his chest.

After the massive attack is over, he rapidly begins to pull himself back to gether, groaning and moaning with inhuman cries of pain until his blue glove has safely contained his unstable flesh once more. K9999, sweaty and breathing heavily, narrowly avoids the strong kick as it seeks out his chest. He tries to grab the leg with his left non-Lovecraftian arm before it passes completely, attempting to put all of his momentum into slamming Nagare into a wall. "K9999."

Yeah, those are really big hands. Angel would prefer to avoid getting picked up in hands that large entirely, so she tries to hop back out of range with the quickness, but, she gets distracted by this sudden urge to spit out the piece of gum she forgot she was even chewing until just now! And while that was certainly a bad time for it, it's still probably a good thing she did, you know? Because if she didn't, she would've totally swallowed it when she got headbutted.
As it is now, she just grunts and gets dropped to the sidewalk, and falls against a wastebin that gets knocked into the street behind. "Aiiiii~ Okay okay, that was a good one I guess." the smaller female NESTS agent mutters as she's holding her head and shaking it out, rising back to her feet and putting her fists up again. "So I wasn't hitting hard enough, yeah? Try this!"
What follows is a flurry of fast jabs, followed by one exaggerated straight the likes of which a drunk might throw in a bar fight, where she puts all of her strength behind it and seems like she might just fall over if it doesn't connect!

Oh. It's enough alright. As Angel manages to get to her feet and then puts her fists up - Gan's not ready for the flurry of fast jabs, an exaggerated straight that manages to break past his defenses, and all of her strength, put STRAIGHT into it! Gan is literately bowled over, sent to his ass, as he staggers backwards.
There's also a pained, "Huargh!" From Gan, as he has the wind literately knocked out of him! Now, that's a pretty nasty shot. That's for sure. She manages to straighten out everything wrong with her right - her right hook, that is!
Gan straightens to his feet - rising, rolling his shoulders as he glances onto Angel - for all that she did, he's only bleeding now - even a massive strike like that doesn't seem to knock him down. "Pretty good.... Much better.. But you .. aren't even letting me GET STARTED! GRAAAAGH!" The Gedo-student slams a leg against the ground, an eruption of chi-energy rippling along the ground as it makes it's way towards Angel, following up by his own body, as well!
She just might be stomped!
Nagare finds himself faced with K9999's figure once more, managing to get out of the way of his kick. Coming down roughly, the swimmer isn't phased very much at all, partially due to his ability to dive head first into concrete. Now, with K9999 attempting to grab a hold of Nagare's leg, it leaves Nagare a simple escape that all fish do once grasped.
Swim. Swim and don't look back! Swim swim swim swim swim! Nagare kicks, attempting to bolt off right as K999. The grasp itself hurts Nagare, even as he's swung.
Nagare gets the upper hand however, twisting about before kicking straight into K9999 with chi fill kicks. Water chi splatters off of each fin as it makes itself known. The water chi feels weird, and oddly hurts to the touch when Nagare wishes it. Like rock, water will wear K9999 away.
"K9999? Uh... Why is that so familiar."
The kicks and water chi pound into K9999's chest, heavily bruising and even causing him to start bleeding through his shirt. It's making his heart beats continue to skip as he stumbles back a few feet, holding his chest for a moment as he takes deep breaths.
"You're strong, really strong, and I don't care how you know me, it doesn't /matter/ how you know me, you're gonna die. Did you know? Inbetween joints, bones don't actually connect, you can dislocate and relocate a socket over and over, until the joint tissue completely wears out..." He starts to laugh, followed by coughing up a bit of blood, then taps his head. "I was born with that knowledge, how to hurt people. And my friend over there? Yeah, the one with the tits. She's gonna kill your friend just as badly as I'm gonna kill you. Well, maybe not as bad, I intend to feed you to my arm..."
Fortunately for Nagare, the Lovecraftian arm does not come back out for this attack, he instead just charges forward and moves to slam his mechanical glove directly into the swimmer's face.

The Mexican girl has to hop a few times on her leading foot to stop her own momentum after knocking Gan down, because she was actually sort of counting on the fact that he'd still be standing no matter how hard she hit him. He just looks like that kind of guy, and she's not some kind of super-clone like K9999. She's mostly human! Just, incredibly fast. And really fit!
...fit enough, to nearly catch the Gedo giant and set him back down without getting crushed!? Like okay, she doesn't catch him and hold him up like some bodybuilder or anything, but she does put her arms up and manage to not get crushed before she can manage to tilt forward and let him slide back to the pavement harmlessly. Harmlessly to Gan. It still kind of strains her muscles a little. And that hurts.
"Oop! Geez! You can't just smush me, guy! Get out of here with that!" she shouts, leaping up and trying to dropkick him in the face! And while she's still airborne, she happens to hear the threat her partner is giving to the other boy. And it doesn't seem to bother her one bit! "Haha, that's right! You tell him K9999!"

Angel manages to catch the assault, putting her arms up, managing not to get crushed - and with it all, Gan's slid backwards harmlessly - even if he strikes to a degree. He's slid backwards. "So you know how to do that too..." Gan remarks, grinning, as shouts back that he can't just smush her. "Well I'm not trying! Ahahaha!" Yet, she goes air-borne, slamming into him, legs first. She strikes hard, the blow crashing into him. Gan doesn't hold back. Gan doesn't even think of going in the defensive.
"So you've got a bit of strength in you .. I'll be sure to wring it all OUT!" He doesn't move out of the blow - as she comes in, Gan brings back one of his massive hands - she lands on his shoulder instead of his face.. and that hand, pulled backwards, is thrown. It's almost a blinding speed.
"Can't smush you? .. I'll have to try NOW!" After the palm strike smashes forwards, a billowing eruption of chi follows it, palm strike after palm strike firing towards Angel, to slam into her so fast and so hard she's held in place.. until the very last shot, smashing the palm forwards towards the mid-section of the fast NESTS operative.
"HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
It might just hurt.

Falting backwards, Nagare escapes by the skin of his teeth. He stumbles backwards while breathing heavily. This whole fight has been an allegory for a man stuck in a cave blind. Nagare almost believes that both of these fights, especially K9999 and the new introduced Angel, are something entirely special.
Of course Nagare is partial for the larger man about him, Gan that is. Forget all about the whole fact that he's a giant.
"Strength isn't important," Nagare breathes, shaking his head as he picks himself up off the ground, "I know alot about joints. About how the body works. I'm a professional swimmer. I..." Nagare breaths in quickly when K9999 mentions something about Angel killing Gan and Nagare isn't so happy anymore.
"No. I'm sure you could kill me if I stood still, but I'm not gonna." Nagare wheezes, "Not until you nail me down. I'll keep moving until you're so tired I'll swim rings around you. I'm sorry but I'm not going to let you." The swimmer explains, twisting about the punch that K9999 delivers, rolling around the boy to grasp a metallic barrel.
There, Nagare turns it upside down and leaps into the air, waterchi exploding about him in this unexpected manuever, heading directly towards Gan.
Once Nagare reaches Gan, he attempts to slam dunk the large, metallic drum over Gan and deliver with it a delicious bath of waterchi, attempting to keep Gan up on his feet.
"Here." Nagare pants, "She looks pretty tough. Hold out just a little more." The swimmer steps back, his job done for all he knows.
"You really think you're gonna win, don't you?" K9999's laughter grows louder, ignoring the constant coughing of blood from his damaged internals. "You want me to nail you down? Alright, I'll do just that!" He holds that metallic gloved hand up, shaping it into a large nail just like he did with a drill not long ago.
Then Nagare jumps, helping his friend out, and the clone just exclaims, "Are you stupid? She's still gonna kill him! God, you both, you're just, you're so beyond dead and you don't even know it! Me and Angel, we're on a whole other level." Then his own red chi flares up again, swirling around him as he begins to collect himself again, apparently not /that/ worried about Angel's ability to defend herself.

Aw yea, successful dropkicks make you feel good. Even if, it starts to seem like you just fell into a trap for the sake of such a proud moment. "Huh!? Oh no way!" It's one of those massive hands again!
But it seems Angel learned her lesson well the first time. She doesn't let herself get distracted, and thus, she doesn't get caught. It also probably helps that she has some Lucha training, and can do some pretty acrobatic stuff.
Using her plant against Gan's shoulder, she goes flipping just out of range of the first palm stab, and then second one gets... caught, against her upraised knee. What happens after that looks absolutely crazy, before she takes him by that thick muscular arm of his and drags him in close enough to plant a hand on his stomach and shove him over and down onto his back. If he were any smaller, it would be more like a bodyslam, but either way it hurts. And after the pain, comes the humilation, as the energetic assassin goes and showboats like nobody's business.
She pauses to push her sleeves up, then she flexes over toward K9999 (even though her arms are sore as hell), and then she runs past Gan once... twice... three times before leaping up and coming down on him with -The People's Elbow-. "BAM!"
The funny part is, though, after it's all over, she just kinda stands there, panting to catch her breath, staring at Nagare with this funny look on her face as he comes over to... pour water on him.

Gan finds himself taken advantage of! Tossed about as he tries to slam against her, he's stuck over and over, being slammed to the ground of all things, smacked, beaten about, and then thoroughly body-slammed and people's Elbow'd. Is this the end of Gan!?
it really would be, except Nagare comes over with the massive barrel. Gan stared upwards, out of breath. Out of time. Out of .. everything! He's done for, folks. He's going to be out of it .. he's unable to go on! It's too late for him. "Grgaghhh.... Pretty good... couldn't stop you ...."
The water comes over Gan, rejuvenating him, pulling him upwards, awake, and still able to fight back. "That's what you have huh!?" Gan cries, rolling his neck, as he manages to slowly bring himself up. "I .. I'm not giving up .. when I CAN STILL FIGHT!"
He barrels towards Angel - thrusting his hand out to try and grasp her!
.. But will .. he grab hold!?
A whole nother level huh? Nagare can get behind that. He'll give K9999 his whole nother level. Nagare turns away from Gan, leaving anything to happen. He helped Gan out all he could, even if it might have not worked at all. He'll have to do something else. He'll have to finally take care of K9999. Thats what he has to finally do.
"I'm done with your words. I don't care if I win or lose. I just want to stop you here, make you have to crawl back to where ever you came from." Nagare announces, shaking his head. "This entire town is tired of this. We're going to fight back." Nagare exclaims as he, of everything, grabs for another barrel.
This one, however, is full of garbage. One that Nagare uses to his advantage as he hurls it directly towards K9999, attempting to get him with it one way or another. He is not done yet.

"Having fun?" K9999 asks Angel right as she flashes her arm, slowly beginning to approach Nagare once he's done aiding Gan. His red chi suddenly stops when the can comes flying, then he stabs his large nail into the side of it to try and brace the impact, his entire body rolling into the ground until he's on one knee.
"That all you got left...?" he asks, then suddenly grabs his chest and coughs /something/ up... it looks like a large bloody screw. "Damn, you bastard, you're making me fall apart. I'm gonna end this, I'm gonna blow you into oblivion, then I'm gonna party with Angel while we're watching TV on chairs held up by your severed arms and legs!"
He suddenly jerks his nail arm from the trash can, standing up straight and wiping his bloody tanktop with futile effort. Then, suddenly, his right arm starts to rapidly reform into a large gun, almost like some futuristic cannon. "First the knees!" he gleefully exclaims with two shots of powerful red chi balls. "Then the elbows!" Two more shots of red chi. "And finally, the face!" He charges this one a bit, firing one basketball sized sphere of chi toward Nagare's face.
"Die!"
M- man, maybe she does have superpowers or something. Maybe NESTS made her harder-better-faster-stronger last night while she was catching Z's. Or maybe she just, does a better job of things when K9999 is around. Who knows! But even she has to kind of wonder about it when Gan gets up after his refreshing little showers and comes charging at her like a bull, and she stops him by digging her heels in at just the right moment and putting her hands out like a traffic cop, locking her tiny fingers between his way bigger ones and pushing him back!
She was just kidding around, dude! That shouldn't work that good! "Hahaha, why'd you slow down? That's weird." But she's not quite done after merely repelling him. She has to at least try and roundhouse him like Chuck Norris while he's still close enough!
By the way, don't let the name of the attack fool you. She just named it that to mess with your head.

As Angel manages to disperse his assault, Gan stares on - how could she ... push back against that?! He's tossed backwards again, and even though he has the advantage, mass wise, Gan staggers - and as he tries to pull out of the way, Angel roundhouses him, the body twisting and spinning against the ground, sending Gan to the earth with a small shockwave.
He tries to pull himself upwards. "Ghh... So .. maybe this time .. I'm just too weak ... hahaha... hah...." He falls to the ground, straining himself to get up. But he can't. Dammit! All of that training and practicing. He's let down the Don again!
He manages to get to his feet.. but he can only limp - unable to fight. Can't stay there. At least they can be safe if they pass out inside the bank. He begins to limp there, no longer fighting, watching on for Nagare.
Nagare certainly didn't like the feel of that! Multiple chi balls crash into Nagare even as he attempts to bring up his arms. But his arm's aren't the only things being targeted here! Not at all! Even as he brings them up, K9999 throws him backwards as the multiple orbs of power crash into Nagare's features. Each one sears, each one is horrible feeling.
Nagare cannot breath for a moment or two when the red hot, burning orbs collide into his skin. The searing pain goes across his body as he does. He isn't out yet, however. Even as he sits still for a moment. He's going to have to do something entirely infeasable.
Nagare takes the chance anyways. Getting up, Nagare moves forward like a zombie towards K9999.
"I'm... I'm just gonna continue to live to spite you." Nagare announces with a broken laughter, "Never going to die. Never going to think of it. Sorry." Nagare exclaims with a shake of the head. "You... you can try. But it isn't going to help." Nagare exclaims as he fires himself towads K9999, skidding across the ground in a last ditch effort to catch him unaware and deliver a kicking so brutal that he would be sent sprawling across the ground from the force.
Of course he's leaving himself terribly open for Angel and K9999 afterwards, but he hopes he has an angel on his shoulder for that.

The kick hits, /hard/, and K9999 goes rolling and thumping across the ground, getting bruises and cuts, and there's even the sound of a pop as he slams into the wall at the end of the alley, bricks forming a small mashed in crater.
He lays there, limbs spread out as he's stuck on the sunken in wall, battered and bloody. It seems over until the clone's mouth opens, blood and stray mechanical parts falling to the floor as he begins to laugh again, gargled with blood. "T-there's a reason I'm not dead, and you're about to die..." he weakly says as he pulls himself from the wall, falling to the ground with a loud thump. "There's a difference between the two of us. Not power, not skill, not even intelligence..."
He starts to stand, grabbing his left shoulder, then popping his arm back into place. "You see, I'm a monster." Then, quiet rage fills his face, the vein on his forehead buldging as if it's about to pop, then that wave of invisible force goes flying through the alley, pushing his pools of blood mixed in with the trash across the ground, going to slam into Nagare, hoping for greater levels of success than last time.
Well, K9999 told Nagare she'd kill Gan. And she heard him say it, too. But that doesn't mean she's gonna do it for real. She only does that if she gets paid good money, and usually to traitors, or spies. The only reason she came over here was to check on K9999, and help him out a little bit when she saw he was outnumbered. Now though, it's looking like she's done her share. Chasing someone who's clearly too wounded to continue, or interrupting her partner's 1 on 1 with a guy he just shot up? She's not the type to do either!
"Hey, K9999. Try not to overdo it, okay? I won't get in your way, but just keep in mind how much you don't like when the doctors have to fix you and stuff." she calls over, crossing her arms and tapping her foot after turning to watch.

Nagare isn't able to give anymore. It all comes down to a single moment where, no, he couldn't stop it this time. His figures raw and his only abilities used upon Gan that could benefit him, Nagare is out of tricks for trying to help his allies.
The swimmer finally is finished, struck backwards from the multiple forces that push against him. Barely taken out, Nagare is using the last of his strength to get out of here. He gives no words as he moves, being blasted into the air and away. He'll land somewhere and then probably black out, but for now, Nagare has no where to go.
He's not been too lucky, but he's still tried. And trying is better than anything. There wasn't anything else to really say. Nagare was finished here, and he met a boy with really no positive aspects.

Disappointed in the fact that his opponent flew away, he'll just assume Nagare is dead, he'll sleep better that way. K9999 limps slowly over to Angel, holding his right arm despite the fact that his left one is the arm that was just popped back into place. "Angel, I wanna go home, they made me feel like crap..." Then, when he finally reaches her, he falls forward, head suspiciously aimed at her chest.
