Yu, with Izanagi out and by his side, looks between Raidou and the Demi-Fiend Would you mind if I ask our good friend, the inspector who brought us here, a few questions before we begin a fight? I’m very concerned for his safety after all. Yu subtly winks at the other members of the group before going on After all, I’m sure it means nothing to you, simply a few more moments before we begin. Though, I would prefer to speak in private if you don’t mind. There’re many things we could discuss.

PK keeps his laser blade on as his personas stand side by side, watching the new opponent, then turning towards Yu and nodding That is fine by me! Just don't get hurt! If you need us just call!

Tatsuya nods in agreement with AYu, the guy has a pretty good point in fact... "Yeah, I'd like to make sure nothing is terribly wrong with him. It's not that much trouble right?" He eyes Demi-Fiend warily, this guy clearly isn't the same one he's run across before... Seems like more of a berserker than anything else. Either way, Tatsu is ready for him to strike.

The Black Samurai maintained her distance, impressed by the Hell Biker battle. Indeed, this group was worthy of their goal, she felt. She eased in closer, fully determined to give her best from here on out. Upon encountering the Demi-Fiend, the Black Samurai seemed amused. She sensed a kindred spirit, so she was willing to play a little game. You propose an interesting competition of strength. Very well. I will play with you... But I assure, my will is unflaltering. Prove you are stronger, if you can. The BlackSamurai stood still, watching, but she seemed more threatening in this state. She was still as a picture frame. It was a little eerie.

Kazuya who had been following the group from behind looks on at the Demi-Fiend. He had never seen a demon tamer like him before. One that could fight at the same level as one of the more dangerous demons. Oddly enough though, it reminded him of something. He felt as if the power of demons being in human hands was a familiar concept to him. That familiarity seemed to spark something in him and he felt he could remain silent behind the others any longer. "Just who is he? His power doesn't feel normal. I don't think I've even met a demon with that kind of intimidating aura before...actually, I feel like there was one but..." Kazuya seems to be unable to find the proper words as if there's a gap in his mind regarding what he was about to say. He redies his comp as a precaution in case he's dragged into the fight.

Yu chuckles and glances back to PK No no, you can stay. After all, Raidou’s your friend too after all. I was simply requesting that courtesy from our opponent. Yu then turns and briefly bows to the Samurai I would like to request you also hold off on fighting until after we have finished speaking with our friend. No need to start before the whole group is ready. Much better to fight together than alone.

Erm, shouldn't we save that chat for after we've beaten this man? I don't think we should take this person lightly. He mustn't be a pushover like that biker demon if he was able to take Raidou so easily. Her persona had yet to be dismissed and stands ready beside her for the inevitable battle. Alice had glanced between the party's target and the other Yu as she said her piece. I certainly hope that he doesn't hit too hard...

The demon shakes his head, and spins on his heel. "Sure, whatever. Do what you gotta. Neither of them are really conscious right now though, like I said they were in no shape to fight. Idiots. I'll be waiting, but just remember how this place works. I needed someone manipulating the place when I first came here just to navigate a hallway, so getting out without me guiding you won't be possible. Seeya." A hole appears in the far-off wall of the room, and the creature leaves through it without another word. A long corridor stretches beyond it, so for the time being the group is safe.

Yu bows respectfully to the demon as he leaves for the moment. Once they are gone, Yu runs over to Raidou and inspects his injuries If anyone here knows first aid, this would be a good time to use it. Yu glances back at Alice, his face grim and unreadable It’s imperative that we take care of Raidou first because he has previously fought our next opponent. Therefore he has some knowledge as to how they fight, for example, most common opening techniques, patterns. Everyone has them, and if you can discover the truth behind your enemies, it becomes much easier to fight them.

Once the man had departed, she didn't even need to be called before approaching Raidou and Gouto. At this point Seraph would have faded but, having understood what the other Yu had most likely intended for her to do, Alice had yet to dismiss the angel. You're right, I'm just glad that he was kind enough to give us this moment. I don't know if I can wake them up particularly but I can at least help ease their pain. Alice steps back, the space she previously occupied now inherited by Seraph, as the angelic persona would lay one hand on Raidou and the other on Gouto. The being was roughly humanoid so it's not as if it had appeared that awkward. Being in direct contact with the two made the soothing light work incredibly fast as their wounds were healed.

PK having nothing to do right now checks over his equipment, re charging his sword, realigning his crossbow, munching on a pancake, as he stands and watches over everyone I agree! Our friends safely should be our number one concern!

Tatsu was about to actually heal the two, but Alice beat him to it... He's been thinking about things too much. "Yo Raidou, you guys got anything about that Demi-Fiend? He seems like one tough customer so hopefully we can come up with a plan. I'm thinking someone should probably stab the bastard in the back honestly, not like we have any reason to play fair right?" Tatsu looks around the room, he's not entirely sure of a plan yet but he'll figure something out. Perhaps use something he wouldn't see coming? But then again... Not likely he'd miss something...

Kazuya looks around indifferently as he walks to a spot not far from the others. "Stab him in the back? I think I might be able to do that fairly easily. You'd have to keep him distracted though." Kazuya pulls out his COMP and begins pressing a few buttons on it before summoning, Hanuman, a monkey-like man with golden armor and a sword in hand. He approaches a wall before Hanuman grabs onto him allowing his form to begin incorporeal temporarily as he sticks his hand through the wall to test it.

The summoner breathes in sharply and his eyes shoot open. He looks around the room, and realizes he's in no immediate danger. He shakes his head, and shakes Gouto awake. The healing takes it's affect on the pair, and the feline looks up at Tatsuya's questioning. "Gah, shit. We took a beating there. Gods, that monster doesn't play around. You can throw everything you have at him, and he'll shake it off and hit back harder. He took on Lucifer like it was sport, you know anyone else who can do that? Whatever you do, don't fight him. Raidou hasn't fought him at his very best yet, but even I'm worried it won't be enough. Thankfully we were allies once upon a time, so he let us live. Still, all that guy cares about is fighting now. It's terrifying."

PK listens to all the options and has a disgusted look on his face when Tatsuya mentions a dirty tactic, shaking his head Now that's just dishonorable! He challenged us to a fight and we shall meet him head on and fight him in glorious combat! He must've drank allot of protein before that fight! Must've done a good amount of training as well! I hope I can be as strong as that one day!

... Tatsu sighs and pulls out his sword, not like there's any choice here yeah? Tch. He's not gonna get killed here, certainly not now. "Doesn't matter, we haven't got a choice if we want to get out of here we gotta force the bastard to take us out... Unless you two have something else? I'm okay with just letting the fight freak who makes me seem like a pacifist stay on his own. But if you guys don't know how to leave the Damm Amala Network we're screwed." A blur of flames and Apollo appears before them, clearly he's not planning to mess around with this. Tatsu nods at Kazuya, the plan sounds as good as they're likely to get. So he'll run with it in this case.

I hadn't imagined that he was once your friend. I wonder what could've even made him so hostile in the first place? Uhm, I suppose that's actually a better question for another time. Once Raidou had sprung to life, Alice's persona backed off and re-established its position beside her. She looked to the hallway that was created upon the Demi-Fiend taking his leave, under the same impression as Tatsuya when it came to their escape. Unless they do have another suggestion then I guess we'll have to contend with that person, I imagine he won't be pulling any stops either.

Raidou shakes his head and struggles to stand. He has to use his sword for support, but he can walk. "Well, if there's no way out other than to fight him, we may as well. Raidou and I aren't very knowledgeable about this place, so all you can do is try. Just...be careful."

"Alright, I'll meet you all over there." Kazuya nods before passing into the wall. He seems to be gone for the moment as he follows the group at a slightly slower pace due to the nature of this method of travel.

Don't worry! I'll protect everyone with my power! Now! Onwards my friends! PK then begins to charge down the opening where the demi fiend went raising his sword into the air and yelling about pancakes

Wait Panca-... Oh who am I kidding. We'll be careful Gouto, or at the very least I will! Alice hurries down the path after PK, her Seraph in tow, as they too make for the Demi-Fiend. She'd of course be grumbling about how someone ought to leash the disillusioned, pancake-obsessed, "knight."

Raidou seems to have stayed behind, likely trying to take it easy. At the end of the corridor lies a room similar to the last, the red energy that pulses through the floor shoots out like a geyser in the center of the large open room, and the demon stands inside of it. He turns at PK's screaming, and nods. Ah, I see that didn't take long. Fine by me. Guess the summoner isn't joining you, whatever. The demon crosses his arms in front of himself, and smirks. His yellow eyes shift to the piercing red from before, matching the fiend before him. He lets out a scream, and his power skyrockets. No demons, no tricks are at play here, but the stifling aura usually given off by a fiend is at full force here. Even more so than any other fiend actually, just being in the room fills you with a sense of dread. He stands still, holding this stance. Perhaps he's waiting for the group to prepare themselves, and then make the first move. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0fs8QAMBD0 Let's rock. OOC: He's so strong I forgot how to spell, oopsies!

PK grinds to a halt and stares at the fiend, almost tripping from the aura Woah! This is gonna be tough! But I won't be deterred! Fusion! Waffles! Tetrakarn! PK then fuses Waffles from Pancake and Syrup, casting a pale barrier on himself before rushing into the fray, leading with a slash of his laser sword across the Demi fiend

I can't even begin to imagine what's in store... Maybe I'll just take it slow for now? At Alice's command, Seraph lets loose three, small orbs of light that launch themselves forward at the fiend and burst on impact. It was pretty weak even by Alice's standards but it seemed the intention behind the "attack" may have been to instead test his resistance against the element while also seeing if he had anything in store with the silly stance he had made.

OOC: We'll call it here for now, when more people who want in on this are on we can continue
