Aire
My mind cursed the day I was born when that entire side of my body got burned like that. It felt like being put under a blowtorch... but my instincts blocked it out before I could even think. In fact, I wasn't thinking now. My body was moving on its own, as if it resented the fact that that bitch had almost burned half my body off. I was to tear her to bits with my teeth if I needed too.
Right. Now.
Altair
Ah. That was what I had forgotten about Aire. That animalistic reaction to pain she had at times like this. No sooner had Emily clashed with Vastion, than that wild girl had torn after her, her wings on her back ripping themselves apart... what in the unholy hell...?
"... giant... arms?" They were grotesque things, looked like they had been ripped straight off of Hate's body, and placed on her back. Long, heavily muscled things with long clawed fingers. Blood drenched her back as she darted forward... head first?
"..."
That crazy girl aimed her mouth of razor sharp teeth at Emily's right leg, and her new appendages aimed for her midsection. It was like a dog you had pissed off so much that it bit you, really; you could see the bite coming, but you didn't have a chance in hell of avoiding it. I sighed, and materialized a minigun out of my coat, along with one of my handguns. If anything, this was a good chance to cause some damage, but too many people were closing in on the target; I had to aim these shots when Emily couldn't move period.

"Tch, the moron was actually useful for once." Krizno muttered this, still on the rooftop, as lightning coursed around his body. He aimed a hand towards Emily's current position and fired several bolts of blue and yellow electricity. He was not the least bit concerned with Vastion getting shocked as well. He was sure the horned man could take it.
At the same exact time Krizno fired his attack, Miya's Licht Rifle fired a thin beam of azure energy, aimed at Emily's arms. If it hit, it would force the Xipe Totec leader to take Vastion's swords directly since she'd be unable to use her arms. This was what Miya was hoping for.

Byakutora smashed through the wall of fire, using his bracer to break the wake of her blast. He was slightly singed, but he didn't cared. He swung his King of Diamonds at her ankles.

at first Chingo hesitated to answer the question, but then calmly replied: "long story short, I'm looking for a group of vatos who call themselves the Xipe Totec. I believe that they have someone I'm looking for."

"I'm helping out this kid find a kidnapped man. Were you lame enough to put cameras in our eyes? If you did, we have a picture of him." Raiga wanted to get this investigation out of the way. She wanted to go back to chasing after Xerxes as soon as possible. After being separated from him for so long, she wanted to journey with him again.

Chingo proceeded to take the crumbled photo out of his pocket. Again the photo depicts a man no older than 40 right in the middle of his two children. "so you see mr. I-can-see-everything, this is the man I'm looking for. It's my hunch that he was taken by Xipe Totec as part of some human trafficking operation, so any info on that missing man or them is greatly appreciated."

Emily screamed as each attack hit. Inferno's strike hit her square in the head, dizzying her. Krizno's strike sent electricity through her veins, only worsening her vertigo. Byakutora's slash caused her to lose her balance and fall to the ground. Thanks to Miya, the impact of the shot caused her remaining arm to disintegrate. She eventually lacked the muscle to hold her sword, allowing Vastion's to slice off her legs without receiving much resistance from Emily. She had but one, slowly disintegrating arm left....Or at least, it seem so.
Energy poured out of her limbs and began to take shape. They formed glowing, ethereal limbs for her. She grabbed Aire, who still had her teeth sunk into her jugular, and smashed her head to the ground. She battered her head against the pavement over and over, threatening to kill her outright if she wasn't stopped. Rean, however, immediately responded to Emily's assault with one of his own. He kicked Emily over on her stomach and beat her repeatedly with his club, smashing her torso into a pulp. Her barely functioning lungs became visible as the aura around the woman began to dim. Rean was ready to finish the job. He swung his club downward toward her face.
"Stop it!!"
"That's enough!!"
Zemna and Vastion grabbed Rean's arms and prevented him from delivering the final blow. It was only after that, that Rean noticed the tears streaming from the defeated CEO's eyes. Her glasses were broken; pieces of glass sliced into her cheeks. Her expression was scrunched up in terror. She started to perform a startling fusion of sobbing and coughing. She desperately tried to get a few more words out.
"Why wo..anyone....listen?" she questioned as blood streamed out of her mouth. Her shoulder muscles twitched in the direction of her chest, as if she were trying to hug herself, and failing.
Neither Rean or Vastion knew what to say. She was beaten, completely and utterly. They won.
And yet, it felt so unsatisfying.
"...This is it?" Rean asked. "...This is all you've got? You're....You're dying?"
The mutilated woman merely whimpered. It was pitiful. This woman, as deranged as she may have been, had lost everything. In her last moments, she failed to convince her savior that he was what she thought he was. Vastion could hardly even imagine how she must have felt. She lost, and the world, in her eyes, was over. Her heart was broken. Her spirit destroyed.
"...Rean," Vastion said. "...I don't know why, but this doesn't feel right. It feels as if we've done something horrible."
"Yeah....It's like I just got done with beating a sick kitten."

Byakutora looked down at Emily, and placed his sword back in the chains on his jacket. He walked over to her and sat down on the ground, lifting her mangled body up into his lap as he wrapped his arms around her bloody body. He hugged her, when she couldn't even hug herself.
"Archimedes... You're wrong. I might not understand you... but I'm listening. I'm listening."

Krizno stared down at the scene below, his eyes squinted as her looked at Emily with disbelief. He jumped off the rooftop and began walking towards Rean, Vastion, and the others around the fallen C.E.O. "Regardless of your feelings for this outcome..." He spoke with annoyance, yet calmness at the same time. "This was something that needed to be done. While Rean may have performed a bit of...'overkill' here, the results are still the same. Xipe Totec will undoubtedly fall now and the Quetzalcoatl will be able to improve this city." The lightning demon was actually attempting to avoid looking at Emily's mangled body. If he was feeling some sort of remorse for the battle's end, he was hiding it rather well.
Miya was still on the rooftop, listening in on the conversation with her helmet. Her metallic wings then unfolded, while her jets sprang to life. "My work is done here." Her tone was as cold as ever. She flew into the air and pass the others, on her way to her next mission.

Aire
My face felt like it had just been stepped on by a bigass dragon. AKA, it hurt like hell.Blood streamed off my face, and my body as I struggled to pull myself back together. Damn, I probably looked freaking ghastly right now. I noticed something though... I still had Emily's leg in my mouth. It had been sliced clean off. The leg dogged from my mouth when I saw the woman... this bitch had almost beaten me to death, and look at her now.... pathetic.
I don't think I even bothered to heal myself as I pushed myself back up, and sat cross legged. My blood and hers were matted in my hair causing it to hang straight down, and weigh me down. I didn't really care, honestly. I just wanted to sit there and rest for a while.
Lucii
.... Wait... what? Was it already over? Everyone just came down on her, and I held back so I wouldn't hit any of them. Was that what just happened? Had I really just missed my greatest chance?
".... was that really it?" It was a question for myself, but I felt wrong. My hand was curled into a fist, and it was shaking so hard I couldn't stop it. I had prepared myself to kill this psycho, once and for all, burn her to ashes..... and these other people did it for me. At least Rean took her down... but these other people had no reason to...
Why was that guy hugging her. I was going to kill him! I swear I was going to kill him for comforting that monster right here, right in front of me! I started toward in in a fast walk, unleashing all my fire into my fist , pulling it back so that I could incinerate both of them in one giant bonfire...
"Lucii, what the hell are you-" I think that was Altair's voice. I didn't really care. It sounded like it was miles away from my, some sort of background noise.
"Why you SON OF A..." I couldn't move once I got that close. I just stood there, staring at that woman's face. It was everything I hated, and everything I didn't expect. She was scared, and in so much pain... everything was clear on her face.
"... And here I said we weren't going to kill you. Hmph, these people made a liar out of me." Altair was standing right behind me as he spoke, and he was seemingly indifferent to the whole scene... he seemed to be rummaging in his coat for something. What, some sort of special gun to finish her off with? Who knows.
"...Don't suppose you still want to live after all that, do you?" Okay, as pathetic as she looked, that was a rather... messed up question. What the hell was he getting at?

Byakutora aimed a menacing glare as Altair drew closer. "BACK. OFF," he growled as he held the dismembered, sniveling woman. "I'm taking her to Walt. If you so much as point a cigar at her, I'll hack your limbs off, over and over again. You got me?" He looked down at the beaten executive. "And I don't care if you want to die, either. I'm fixing you up, and you're going to live with yourself." A devilish smile crossed his face. "Besides, I know at least one person who'd like to have a word with you."

A sense of satisfaction enveloped the fiery vodic as soon as his kick made a direct hit to Emily's skull. "Friggin sweet, bulls eye!" He pushed his foot from the Xipe Totec leader's head, sending him back a couple of feet. As he knelt down and watched Emily get brutalized by everyone around her, a very uncomfortable feeling overwhelmed Inferno that made him cringe. To say the least, he was surprised to see how far everyone were willing to go to take down one misunderstood girl and felt disgusted. "Wha- ugh, what the heck is going on?" Inferno was always up and motivated for a good fight, but enemy or not, he took no comfort in seeing someone getting surrounded and mercilessly dismembered like a gore-fetish sideshow. Especially if a woman was on the receiving end of all this suffering.
The vodic slowly looked behind him for Yeshua, but shock could be seen within his eyes. The milado teenager arose from the pile of rubble he laid in and could see Rean pummeling Emily's disfigured body from a distance. "Oh my god....... what the heck are these people doing!?!?" Without of a moment of hesitation, the boy hastily pushed himself from the ground and raced to the scene as fast as he could. "STOP IT, THAT'S ENOUGH!!" he yelled as he sprinted toward the crowd trying to catch his breath. He took no mind of Inferno's prescience and passed. The vodic chased after him. As Yeshua approached the crowd surrounding the fallen leader of this living experiment of a city, he skid across the ground to slow himself down with Inferno hovering right behind him.
They looked down at Emily. As they saw her crying and bleeding to death after being beaten far beyond recognition, a heavy sense of guilt overwhelmed them. The swordsman seemed to have a hard time keeping his composure. "No... this couldn't be right... this just ISN'T right!" He quickly turned away from looking at Emily's body for he could no longer stand such an unbearable sight.
The vodic rested a hand on the swordsman's back. "Dude, you gotta calm down. Everything will be fine."
"Calm down? Now how in the world do you expect me to do that after we attempted to take a life!? A HUMAN life! When we came here, I thought we would just simply defeat and disable this organization's leader and finally improve this city's wretched condition. But this... this is just sick and barbaric. There's NOTHING fine about this and you and I both know that!" He but his lower lip and clenched his fists to keep himself from shedding a tear.
"Look here. I'm not too keen on the idea of offing her either, so we're on the same page here. I mean, sure she had to be put out of commission somehow, and there could have been an a**load of over options besides ripping her to shreds, but the damage has already been done and all we have to do is move on and look for the positives of this outcome. We did what we had to do, to be real with ya. And besides, we're not the only ones who share the same opinion. Just look at the shaggy haired guy over there."
The vodic nonchalantly pointed his thumb at Byakutora carrying her mangled body in his arm and threatened to attack the man in purple if he ever tried to go near her. As soon as Yeshua heard him mention that he would fix up Emily, this gave him a slight sense of relief. "So... will she actually live after all?"
"Hey, it's a possibility. Let's just stand by and see what's up."
The teenager took a deep breath and exhaled air to calm himself down and made a slight quip in his response. "Yeah. Seems to be the only thing we're useful for doing in this league of pissed off super citizens..."

"Too bad I woke up before her."
Apparently the duration of the battle was enough time for Alen to recuperate and clear the wounds left by the jab to his spine. Through sprained and hunched over, the glare in his eyes were of clear intent. Shuffling, albeit steadily, his vengeful gaze set upon asserting himself as the superior to the fight. From the moment his bow was raised, a forceful thrust aimed to penetrate Emily's petrified head.

Byakutora held Emily as he blocked the blow with his heavy bracer, and planted his heel in the crippled Alen's temple, knocking him to the ground with a reversed high kick. "I SAID BACK OFF!!!" Byakutora stood his ground, ready to fight anyone who got in his way. "She's down for the count, ALRIGHT?! If anyone wants to do her in, tell me now so I can thrash you catatonic, right here, right now! I've gone and done some sick shit, but I'm not gonna sit around and let an amputee get offed in my arms by some vampire and a douche bag with an ego too big for his dick! You hear me!? I'll fight Carl himself if I have to! I'LL TAKE YOU ALL ON!!!"

Altair
"... I had no intention of harming her. I was merely going to check my coat for medicine. It was a longshot though, as I usually don't carry nanites unless my job demands it." It was all nothing but the truth. Perhaps i should have been less vague when I was asking her if she needed help... After all, our job was done here. Even if she were to recover, she would never fight at that level again, that much was certain.
"Hey, asshole. Try that again, and I WILL kill you. I have no problem with tearing your arms off and letting you bleed out, mr. archer.... " It was Aire's voice, unsurprisingly. She had pushed herself up, and planted herself in between the swordsman, Emily, and the archer.
"Hehe... what kind of cowardly shit are you? I don't really care what you say, but even I can tell when a fight's over." Aire was probably just as injured as he was, but far less crippled. If in came down to another fight, it was painfully obvious to see what would happen. Lucii even glared at the man, though her face said something more along the lines of "what WERE you thinking!?".
