[well I'm going to start the rp now. ^^]

It was only 4:00 PM, which meant the game was still going. "Kuro.. come here!!" Hiroshi hissed as he hid behind an old building. The dog whined before slowly walking up to him. "It's ok... just... 3 hours and 30 minutes more left before this ends.. for the day." he muttered. The dog tilted his head before his ears perked up straight. He started to growl, narrowing his eyes towards one direction. Hiroshi got up to his feet, his hands gripping onto the gun. At first, there was nothing... but in matter of seconds there were 4 of those masked guys running towards him.
"Oh come on! Give me a BREAK!!" he yelled as he started to run. "KURO! COME ON!" he said. The dog barked before following him. It wasnt like the masked people were after the dog.. but he was pretty sure they would kill Kuro too since he was working with him. Hiroshi turned around, shooting one of the guy on the head, breaking through the mask. It fell to the floor, blood pooling around it.
"Are they human.. or what?" he mumbled. Kuro barked, telling him he should better hurry up. As the two ran, Hiroshi reloaded the gun with more bullets. From where he was running, he can see people screaming for help as the masked people grabbed them. He stopped, midway, wanting to help...
"Ah crap!" he yelled when he felt someone grab him. But him having fast reflexes, he spun around, tripping the guy and running off once more.

He had been here for only a week now... but it felt like years. This place was hell.. no probably worse than hell. Ever since he came here, all he saw was people getting killed. He actually almost ended up dying himself, if the dog hadnt showed up. Maybe it was God who gave him a second chance...

Hiroshi looked back seeing they had lost those monsters (at least that's what he called them). He panted from all the running, sweat dripping down. With a grin, he patted the dog on the head. "Come on, it's not good to be standing here in the middle of the streets." he said as they started walking towards the quiet part of the city.

“Watch my back, as I might watch yours,” she said huffing from the running. He nodded to her words, running side to side. She wondered why she wanted to survive, there had to be a reason. He looked back seeing those catching up to them; he slowly put his hands in his pocket taking out two pocket knives throwing them in a correct aim. Amaterasu quickly glimpsed back seeing her brother’s two pocket knives in the hearts of the creatures, blood. She turned back sweeping a hand across her forehead, wiping the sweat. He saw blood, a lot it didn’t bother him anymore but he still gasp for air running faster. Ama slowly pointed to another road for them to run.

Seji ran following his younger sister’s directions, though he was the oldest he never seemed to be helpful and smart like his sister who was younger than him. He took out his gun pointing it to one of the creatures or monsters; he had no idea what they were. He slowly pulled the trigger, then again blood and a lot. She looked at his face, her brother was extremely pale. She knew he was uncomfortable to blood but ignored his fears. Ama felt someone was near pulling out a pocket knife, getting ready throwing it in unperfected aim. She missed, her brother pulled the trigger again, she could have heard and then a puddle of crimson red liquid. Quickly, she ran getting the knife and closing it again. The sister and brother ran, almost out of breathe.

Shiro stood in the alley her back pressed against the wall, 2:00pm had come and gone and Michi had let her have the body. Michi had no clue whatsoever how to fight, decided from the many times they had almost died because Michi wouldn't give up. She tensed hearing footsteps round both of the corners to the alley. Those humanoids as she liked to call them stood at each end blocking her in. She sighed and leaned off the wall her muscles bunching in anticipation. Shiro reached into her bag pulling out her Kami. She waited making sure they weren't going to make first move before she jolted forward into motion. Moving towards the back end of the alley she heard the other end move to follow just as she crashed into the first man and slammed the blade into his neck.Blood pooled around her blade just as she ripped it out still clinging to the steady dieing man. She felt someone grab her shirt and she pushed off the first man moving to do a high kick to the humanoid's face. It slammed into the wall sliding down limp. She scanned the others who had paused out of reach. She figured they had some semblance of a mind left to stay back. They began to move forward as she rushed out of the alley her sneakers hitting the sidewalk at a nice pace. Almost to the end of the road she leaped to the side crashing into a window and rolling to a stop inside the building. "Oops. I'll fix that. Maybe."

She flexed and walked over to the kitchen wiping the blood off her Kami on one of the napkins left on the counter. Taking a look around she figured she was far enough from the alley and this would be her third resting point for the day. The game still had a while to go. She slumped down to the floor exhausted. She could hear peoples screams as they got caught. It was a cruel world when the game began. She crawled over to the broken window and peered out at the street. The vantage point would do just fine in case one of those monsters decided to come looking for her. Which would probably be very soon.

Lance sat on the roof of the building, listening to his theme on his MP4 player. He heard a loud sound, and saw a helicopter coming towards him. "Pffftt... come on!". He stood up, looking at the chopper, watching, waiting. There it was, the missle launched at him, he ran and jumped, landing on it, they fired another, he nearly fell off, but he landed on it, he jumped onto the chopper, pulling out his gunblade, and sliced the front of it in half. He grabbed onto the steel rung on the bottom, swinging up so that his sword punctured theunderside of the craft. He smirked at another chopper appeared, firing a missle. He looked underneath him, water. Thank god. "Guess today's my lucky day, seeya motherf***ers!". Lance dropped from the chopper, pulling out his Sniper Rifle and aiming at the pilots head. He got a deadlock, just like his grandad taught him, he pulled the trigger and the man, or whatever it was, had his head explode, crashingto the other chopper. Lance realised that he would land in the water wrong, so he changed his position.

Lance pulled the peice of shrapnel from his arm, wincing at the pain, he quickly wrapped his arm with a bandage.He couldn't believe the endorphins were so strong that they held away that much pain. He stood and walked around, looking at the carnage, it looked just like his old neighbourhood. He walked to the end of the street and then sat down, seeing someone in the distance, with a dog. "Maybe it's a tracking dog or something, which would suck, epically". He put his head against the wall and closed his eyes.

(brb going up the street)

Hiroshi looked at his watch. "It's only 4:20.." he muttered. At least he wasnt getting chased by those freaks again. Kuro pawed at him, wanting water. "I know I know... hold on." Hiroshi said with a small smile. Kuro turned his head to the side before growling low.
"What's wrong?" Hiroshi asked his face growing serious. He looked over to where Kuro was staring and took a deep breath. With his gun ready in his hands he silently walked over, Kuro quietly trailing behind him. He stood against the wall for a second, catching his breath before jumping out and pointing the gun at Lance. He blinked, seeing it wasnt one of those creeps, but in was in fact... a human?
He pulled his gun down and tilted his head, "Hey.. Kuro... is he human?" he asked looking down at the dog. He sniffed before barking and wagging his tail at the slightest. Good, so he didnt have to be running around like a chicken.. for now. Just in case however, he kept his distance, "Uh.. sorry.." he said referring to the gun. "You are human... right?"

(back)

Lance opened his eyes and leaped up, pulling out his S&W, aiming it at Hiro and glaring. "Who are you and why are you here, are you a spy?" Lance looked at him. "Tell me the truth, or I'll blow your head clean off, did you know that this is the most powerful revolver ever made?"

Hanako sat up against a rock starring up at the sky "so many stars in the sky how do they not fall down?" she looked around noticing robotic people coming closer to her she let out a sigh and got up. "again?" she said picking up her katana "thought you guys would leave me by myself for a few minutes." she gave a smile "Lets see if you can catch up with me." she started to bolt off the robotic like people close behind to close, Hanako picked her pace up "to slow guys! come on I know your faster!" she laughed as she paced even faster she saw two people and a dog up ahead "look out!" she screamed to them laughing a little then quickly flipped back a little and slashed her katana at the robotic people quickly. a little after that she assumed they were dead and walked to the two boys and a dog smiling.

"Me? A spy for those creeps? No way... I'll rather kill myself.." he muttered "Besides, did you ever see those guys with a dog before?" Kuro snarled as Lance pulled out a weapon, pointing at Hiroshi.
Hiro looked down at the dog and smiled, "It's ok..." he said patting his head. The two looked over at the same time when they heard a female voice telling them to look out. He blinked when the girl slashed her katana at those robotic monsters, walking over to them. Well... seeing that she just killed one of those, she was human... right? At least Kuro didnt seemed to be on edge.
"Uh.. I think you should look out.." Hiroshi said pulling out his gun and pulled the trigger.
The monster was getting up, ready to attack the girl from behind. The bullet shot past the girl, flying right through the eyes of the mask.
"Alright! Nice shot huh?" he said with a grin turning to look at the dog. Kuro barked before giving him a paw. Hiroshi laughed before turning to the other two. "Oh.. by the way, my name's Hiroshi... Hiroshi Nakamura. Feel free to call me Hiro. This guy here is Kuro." he said pointing over at the black shepherd.

Shiro peered out the window hearing commotion further up the street. She pulled herself up pressing against the wall trying to see further. Taking a quick glance around she climbed over the broken glass of the window and out into the street looking down at the people in the distance. "Hmph." She looked back then sighed figuring Michi would appreciate some contact. Shiro though didn't approve because the game still persisted. Plus no one really understood them much seeing as they were two personalities in one body. Shiro the fighter and Michi the cute one. Who would even understand why a cute girl that couldn't even fight was still surviving at this moment, if she let Michi out. She flicked her Kami once before sliding it into it's sheathe. People meant trouble. Specially a group of people. The more bots there were to chase them down perhaps. She gave a mental 'I'm sorry.' and peered the opposite way about to leave until she felt the familiar tug of control. The control of the body, that is. She frowned and gripped her Kami glancing back uncomfortably. Given some mental probing she finally leaned against the wall upon deciding to wait for them to come to her. Michi could be pleased enough with that. If they came she would welcome them. If they didn't, well she could be happy with that. Compromise was the key to relationships such as this.

He stopped running, so did her as they spotted a few others not robotic creatures, but those with heads and looked like a person. They noticed that there were two boys and a girl. She felt annoyed at the presence of people but ignored her own thoughts. He looked around knowing his sister’s thoughts. She took out her katana, one pocket knife that was not opened or slide opened. He held the gun with his fingers, almost tipping over. She felt another presence, throwing the pocket knife behind her back; her guess was right, blood. He slowly walked over to retrieve his sister’s knife, “We may not waste.”

Lance turend, looking at the soldier, he aimed his gun, waiting for them to line up, when they did, he fired. Suddenly all of their heads exploded, and he smirked. "Well, I really must be going now, I have certain people to meet loose ends with, nice to meet you Hiro, I hope we meet again soon, also, they've brought in the artillery". Lance turned and took a few steps back, then leaped up the wall of a building, disappearing from sight.

"Good job, Mr. Bat! I think we're getting better at this!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she swore one of those corpses twitched. Sayaka bashed it one more time, just in case, and then a few more times. One more time. Okay, once more. All right, last time. You can never be too sure.

"That was a close one, Mr. Bat! It could've got us with its dying breaths! But, don't worry! We're better than that, right?" she spoke to her metal bat, hitting it against the side of her shoe a few times for good luck. Naturally, it didn't respond, but it likely would've said "Oh, of course, Miss Suzuki!" if it could. Mr. Bat took plenty of pride in his work, as did Sayaka. Sayaka didn't have many issues with killing, as long as she was just killing the bad guys...the only problem that always hovered in the front of her mind was the fact that killing people always made Mr. Bat filthy. Oh well, he probably didn't mind. She glanced back down at the remains of the two masked...things and began pondering aloud to herself.

"You know, I wonder what they did when they weren't trying to kill people? Maybe they were friends? Nah...bad guys don't have friends! They don't have time for things like that! Being evil must be boring...all you do is attack people all day, and then you die at the hands of justice. Such a shame." she shook her head and pivoted around on her ankle, slinging Mr. Bat over her shoulder.

"But..." she winced as Mr. Bat landed right on a freshly-bruised area of her shoulder, "I guess they got what they deserved, huh? Or something like that."

In reality, Sayaka didn't really know if she was bringing justice to the world...nor did she care. She just killed stuff since that was what she was apparently supposed to do. Sayaka guessed that keeping herself alive was very important, but it was just that: a guess. She couldn't think of anything she really had to live for back in the real world...her family, maybe, but she didn't see much of a future for herself. Was there a point to living if there was nothing to live for?

Oh, why was she thinking of silly things like this now? All that mattered right now was justice, Mr. Bat, and not dying.

In the distance, maybe a minute-long walk from here, she spotted a group of figures. She couldn't quite make out their features, even with her glasses...they just looked like a bunch of shadows. Prepare for the worst, she figured. Quickly, she fished around in her pockets and pulled out a cell phone with an utterly destroyed screen, then examined it closely. Smiling, she returned it to her pocket.

"Ah, perfect! We definitely have enough time! Come on, Mr. Bat! Ready for Round Two? ♥" As the lightly blood-splattered Sayaka Suzuki made her way towards the group, Mr. Bat was probably thinking something along the lines of "HELL YEAH".

Lance was on top of the building, looking around, he spotted ome girl with a bat, seemingly talking to herself. He decided to go say 'hello'. He ran to the end of the building and ran back to the front, leaping into the air and landing in front of Saya. "Hey there, who are you?"

Genesis had been preparing herself for today's game, and then it started, just like every other day in this damned world. She let out a stressed sigh as the sirens sounded and stood up from her sitting position and grabbed her tome. She looked around and started to walk down the alley she had been in. She had already learned staying in hiding before you knew where the robotic creatures would come from.

Momo hid under the tail of her coat as she walked. Once the sirens stopped the only sounds the broke the silence was the soft click clack of her boots on the cement. She had found that walking in the back alleys instead of the main streets was best during the game. That way the robots could only come from in front or behind her, occasionally they would be on the roofs but most of the time Genesis figured they weren't intelligent enough to use that tactic often.

Before long she shuddered as she heard the sound of more foot steps on the ground and in front of her three robotic masked figures ran around the corner. "Why is it always in sets of three whenever I'm alone?" she mumbled in an agitated tone. She stepped beck slightly and the creatures aimed their guns at her. "I don't want to waste energy right at the start, so I should try to take them all out in one blow.... I have to get them closer without getting shot," she thought as she stared the guns down for a few moments. Then she ran into a side alley on her left as they fired their guns. They started to run after her. Before seconds were up the creatures were running after her, one tried to shot her while running but missed terribly.

Genesis turned down another alley and then another trying to shake them off before she started to see the main road way. "Dammit." she thought as she made it onto the main road. She glanced to her right and saw people there. She wasn't sure if they had any powers like she did so she needed to kill those creatures before they split up and bothered the other people as well. She turned on her heels to see the robotic figures running down the alley. They stopped before they made it out and aimed their guns at her. "They aren't close enough..." she mumbled and then ran back towards the robotic figures. They fired their guns and she put her hand down on the ground and a small bolt of lightning shot out and pushed her into the air out of the path of the bullets. She landed within inches of the robotic creatures and then stood up and held her arm above her as lighting swelled in her fist then she opened her hand and it spiraled out of her palm and hit all the creatures. Seconds later they fell to the ground, Genesis was out of breathe and stood their for a moment panting before she stood up straight.

She walked out of the alley onto the main road way to see the group of people again, unsure of whether they noticed anything. She hesitated and then walked down the road in the direction of the group with the intentions of passing them without stopping. She didn't know any of them, which meant she couldn't trust any of them. However when she got closer Momo poked his head out of the back of her coat then scampered around to the front and clung to the chains and started to move his ears and tail and tug her to the group. "Momo, behave," she said quietly as she looked at him then she looked to the group and sighed and walked over. As she did Momo scampered up to her shoulder and sat on it and eyed the people curiously just as Genesis did.

One was a normal looking girl and the other was a boy with a dog. She could have sworn there was another person but she shook it off. It was odd of her to meet new people during the game so she said in an ordain tone, "Hello," To the boy and girl. Her eyes gazed to the side slightly as she saw movement, she was about to prepare an attack but noticed it was another human boy and girl. She thought it shady that they didn't come closer and stared, but her stares sometimes come off as glares then she turned her attention back to the boy and girl in front of her. "I'm Genesis, do either of you have powers?" she asked slightly curious.

If it wasn't for the fact that Lance had spoken to her, something the masked people didn't really do, Sayaka's reflexes probably would've caused her to bash his skull in right then and there. Instead, all she did was jump a little before regaining her smile.

"Hello, my name is Sayaka! ...Oh, and this is Mr. Bat!" she introduced warmly, not finding it particularly strange that some guy she never met just dropped down from the sky and landed in front of her. We are talking about Sayaka, here.

"What's your name?" she asked in return.

Sayaka made a quick glance over at the figures in the distance, grinning at the fact that a third one appeared. Boy, is she going to be disappointed when she finds out that they're not 'bad guys'!

"...And, more importantly, are you ready to rumble~? ♫"

Hiroshi took a step back when the guy jumped up the building, and disappeared.
"Okay... then.." he muttered.

"Hello,"

He turned around once more when he heard yet another voice. "Hi.." he said staring at the weird creature, before looking at the girl. Kuro tilted his head and barked, at Momo.

"I'm Genesis, do either of you have powers?"

"And my name's Hiroshi. Feel free to call me Hiro." he replied with a small smile. "Powers? Uh.. yeah... why do you ask?"
He wasnt the best at controlling his powers just yet, but he some how managed. Seeing that she knew about powers, the girl probably had powers of her own, or saw someone with powers.. which means he wasnt the only one with powers. To tell the truth, he never really had a conversation with anyone, up until now.
Hiroshi checked his watch once more, "Four thirty.." he mumbled. He froze when Kuro started to growl. From down the street, five of those masked men started to run towards them. "How the hell are they that fast?!"
Kuro barked as if saying how should I know?! and started to tug on him.
"Uh, ladies, I would love to continue our conversation, but I think it's best to run now." he said. The air seemed to be getting colder, as the ground started to freeze up. The creatures started to slip and fall as they tried running across the ice. "That'll hold them down for a few, but not for long." he said as he started to run.

"I'm Lance, nice to meet you, hello Mr. Bat, nice to meet you too, anyway, have you seen the giant airplanes yet, they're huge, you should check it out, well... them". Lance turned to see Hiro, and two other people running, so he pulled out his rifle, and shot down the people chasing them. "Excuse me, Sayaka, I need to go help my new, umm... friends, just don't tell them i said that. EVER". Lance ran and leaped, landing next to the others, also landing on another masked guy, instantaniously killing him. He looked around, masked figures everywhere.

"AMBUSH!!!"

Lance turned pulling out his S&W, knocking an enemy in the head, then shooting a good few, one grabbed him from behind, but Lance twisted, ending up with him pinning the thing to the ground. He stabbed him, then threw knives at all the people surrounding him. He stood, hoping the other were alright. "Whew..." That's when Lance got grabbed by something tht dragged him up into the sky. "Ah COME ON!!!!, you motherf***ers!!!"

Genesis nodded to Hiro after he introduced himself. "Because I need to know if the people around me can defend them selves or if I need to keep a close eye on their backs," she said in a matter of factually tone that would make an powerless person feel inadequate.

She looked to the side and saw the creatures and nodded in agreement with Hiro as her, his dog, and the girl took off she ran a little behind them making sure to put herself between them and the creatures. "His power must have something to so with ice," she thought as she ran noting the cold chill and the slightly iced area of the road.

Just as the creatures were catching up she was about to turn and attack but a man jumped down on the one closest to her and killed it then proceeded to kill the others. She ran a few more steps before turning to look at the man fight she smiled with relief at the thought of not having to make another long run from pursuers.

Then a robot arm reached out and grabbed him. She had come across these giant robotic figures in the sky once, and she knew her best chance was to free him before he got too high. "Momo!" she called, Momo reemerged from her jacket and glided up to the tentacle like arm grabbing the boy. Momo landed on the arm about a foot above his head and from the top of the robot was an opening and more robots were sliding down the tentacle.

Genesis stared at the three creatures sliding down trying to wait for Momo to free the boy as he seemed to be trying to use his body to crush the arm and break it. "C'mon Momo...." she mumbled, but the arm was too thick. She focused more intently on the creatures head and a static sound could be heard and then their heads exploded with lightning bolts surging through the blood. Genesis faltered and took a step back to keep her balance and keep herself from falling as she wasn't used to concentrating her powers so much.

Momo broke the arm, as it kept wrapped around the boys body Momo started to slowly fly down and put him gently on the ground, then Momo scampered down the boys body and grabbed then tentacle and slowly unraveled it from the boy before he moved back inside genesis' coat and poked his head out near where the chains on her jacket began. She walked over to the boy to help him up and as she did one last creature jumped out of the air machine over Genesis. She looked up and held her arm upwards and lighting emerged from it just as the creature reached her hand with his knife and started to cut it. the lightning pushed him back into the air and to the side slightly and he fell dead a few feet away. she looked at her hand to see a deep but not potentially serious cut on it. then she looked at the boy. "Thanks for helping us, are you alright?" she asked.

Lance sat up, with quite a few questions.

"Uhh.. thanks for that", he stood up and brushed himself off. "I don't believe we've been introduced, my name is Lance, I see you've met, Hiro and the others, and them". He motioned to the dead guy. He looked around, noticing that everyone was gone. "Where'd they go?" He ran to the only available entrances to where they were, then came back to Genesis. "They're gone".

Genesis nodded, they probably kept running, not noticing you helped us. I'm Genesis, and yes I know about those creatures, I've been here for two years now I think," she said.

"Thanks for the help." she added and looked around to make sure no creatures were coming up, for now it seemed like there weren't any around. She looked at her hand again and frowned hating to ask for more help she looked up at Lance. "I don't suppose you have some bandages do you?" she asked as her hand still bled slowly.

Lance looked at her hand. He noticed the cut. "Sit down, I'll look through my med pack". He took it out of his backpack and rummaged around in it. "Aha! Here you go". He went over to her and pulled out some type of random liquid. "It stops blood flowing, mind if I put it on?"

She did as she was told and sat down. Momo came out of her jacket and sat in her lap and watched Lance curiously.

Genesis watched as he put the liquid on her hand and cleaned the wound. "So how long have you been here Lance? Where were you from?" she asked. In the two years she had been here he had already helped her more than anyone else, except her brother, and she had only known him a few minutes.

Her eyes checked him over noting his features before she refocused on him tending to her hands wound.

Lance sighed. "I've been here for 4 and a half years. I transferred here from Australia, where all of my family and friends......" Lance turned away, not wanting to show Genesis his emotions about his home. He quickly wiped his tears and turned back. He got the bandages and tied them tightly around her hand. "It might hurt a bit, theres alchohol in the stuff, and it burns like heck. Anyway, I might as well give you this". He handed her another midkit. "Take it, I don't need it". He put it in her hands then turned away, reloading his guns. "So, how about you? Family? Friends? how long have you been in Tokyo? You seem like you come from one of those nice countries like England or something".

Hiro turned the corner, heading towards the park. He had noticed nobody was following. "Oh crap." he muttered, but he knew they didnt die.... at least he hoped. Kuro barked wondering where they were going.
"Well you said you wanted water." Hiroshi said as they finally reached the park. Kuro ran straight past him, and towards the bathroom. Hiroshi ran after him, holding the dog back. "No way in hell you're going to drink water from those toilet." he snapped. Kuro pulled his ears back and whined. "No... dont use that puppy face on me. You really got to stop with your little habits. I understand you used to be a stray but uh.. no you're not drinking from the bathroom... Why do all dogs do that?!" The dog wagged his tail looking innocent. The park was unusually quiet... it gave him the creeps. "Come on." he said whistling. Kuro followed him to a small lake and started to drink. "Maybe you should stay home next time.." Hiroshi mumbled watching the dog drink.
The shepherd looked up at him.
"Just saying..."
The dog growled before biting his arms, but not too hard. "Hey, that's not nice." Hiroshi said flicking his nose. He sighed and took a seat on the grass. "Why does this game have to go on for so long?!" he yelled, a bit too loudly. "Oops..." As if on cue, the monsters started to run towards him. "They're popping out all over the place!" he yelp before getting up. Hiroshi ducked as one of them swung a knife by his throat, and kicked the mask, breaking it.
"Kuro, run towards the bridge." he ordered. The dog barked before running past monsters, listening to what Hiroshi said.
"And you guys can follow me." With a grin, he started to run, taking the long way towards the bridge. He saw Kuro, sitting there waiting for him. Trap all set he thought. He made a small ice road for himself, sliding across it. The creatures quickly caught up, and started to slip... on oil. "Nice job Kuro." Hiroshi said. He pulled out a lighter and smiled, "Oh right mother told me not to play with fire.." he said before tossing it onto the bridge. The whole bridge got on fire, burning the creatures right in their place. "I'm not paying for this.." he muttered before quickly running off.
