Firefighter: Alright... [He rolls up his sleeves revealing the black nano-tech guantlets he has on. He flicks his arms activating the nano-tech gadgets before detaching them from his arms and assembling them together into their full forms being Glock 18s.]
Kiyoshi [Thoughts]: Nano-tech?!
The firefighter grins as he looks at everyone and pulls the triggers of his guns firing rapid shots at all of them. Lillian dashes to Kiyoshi, pulling him aside from the gun fire in a blur; taking cover behind a pillar. The succubus deflects the rapid fire while Vera runs to the side getting shot in the shoulder.
Firefighter: [He focuses his firing at the succubus for a couple of seconds before running out of bullets.]
The Succubus smirks widely as she changes the form of her scythe into multiple spikes; floating infront of her before sending them at once with one palm extended gesture. The fire fighter taps his right side upperarm and forearm with his left hand still holding the empty handgun, activating a black retractable rectangular one way seeing shield that blocks off the spikes while slowly walking up to the succubus; highlighted in red for the man by the shield's one way view. As the firefighter makes his way towards the succubus, Lillian whispers a variety of incantations that catches the Succubus's attention, making her swing and extend her left palm; raising and firing one of the fallen spikes towards Lillin who gets saved by Kiyoshi standing infront of her and catching the spike bare handed before throwing aside.
Nearly reaching the succubus with his shield, the succubus steps forward with a push kick that sends the latter 16 meters back before Kiyoshi fires one bullet that pierces the Succubus's shoulder making her bleed; infuriating her as she looks at the man with a grunt.
Lillian: [whispers] Great... You made her mad, Kiyoshi.
Both Kiyoshi and Lillian watch as the succubus raise all the blood constructed spikes up with both her hands raised above her head; ready to swarm in on Both individuals but to their luck, Vera stabs the succubus in the back.
Succubus: [She gasps as her arms fall limp; dropping and deforming the spikes into drops of blood.] Grrr...
Both Vera and the succubus turn their heads to the right side after they all hear a whistle from the firefighter; sitting on the ground with a black rocket launcher in hand and aiming directly at them. He chuckles once before firing a blue glowing rocket at the two.
[Reactions]
Vera: Tch!! [She leaps backwards; pulling out a knife she used on the succubus.]
Succubus: !! [Nearly at reach, she closes her eyes and braces for impact.]
The rocket reaches the succubus and explodes; blasting the severely damaged succubus into a wall, where she then lays down on the ground unconscious with multiple burns on her right side.
Firefighter: Ha! [He gets up while dropping the launcher.] One down and three to go!
Kiyoshi: [Kiyoshi and Lillian both hide behind their pillar and to their left see Vera hiding behind her pillar. He breathes in before speaking to the firefighter.] Hey! You a firefighter right?
Firefighter: Most of the time...
Kiyoshi: Yeah? Well as you've noticed, I'm a police officer and to your far right is a corpse of a demon that tried to kill me.
Firefighter: Yeah, I know. I saw it happening.
Kiyoshi: Alright... Then from one human to the other, let's work together and get the fuck out of this city.
Firefighter: ...Naaah. I wish I could do that but I can't.
Kiyoshi: Why the fuck not? You enjoy killing whatever comes your way or something?
Firefighter: [He chuckles in agreement.] That. And I'm looking for something... an artefact.
Vera: tch... I'm also looking for an artefact...
Kiyoshi: Huh?! Whoa whoa, what the shit!? You both looking for a goddamn artefact?!
Firefighter: Oh, it's not like any other artefact. It can gift you power over anything and everything that you could imagine just like that.
Vera: Lies! It's corrupts whoever comes in contact with the artefact, making them cause destruction everywhere they go.
Firefighter: Ha! Just how would you know?
Vera: Uuuh, the city! Everything happening right now in this city is caused by the artefact.
Firefighter: ...Not being under anyone's control, baby girl...
Lillian: How do you both know all this?
Vera: My superiors told me.
Firefighter: Same.
Kiyoshi: Looks like... our goals are aligned.
Firefighter: Yep.
Kiyoshi: Alright... Since that's the case and plus... we all human here, let's not try to kill each other and help instead.
Firefighter: No thanks. The black haired bitch seems annoying.
Vera: Says the prick.
Kiyoshi: [He grunts irritated] ... Listen! I'M stepping out to the light!
Lillian: [She grabs Kiyoshi's arm and whispers] What the hell are you doing? These two will kill you.
Kiyoshi: Trust me... [He whispers back to her before pulling his arm out of her hold and walking out from hiding with his gun in his holster.]
Firefighter: Hm... [He extends his left hand holding his pistol] Bold and stupid move. Walking out with no weapon in hand. For all you know, I could be a lying bloodthirsty demon that just wants to kill you all.
Kiyoshi: Then I guess You one good liar...
They both look at eachother intensely before the firefighter smirks and disassembles his gun back to its small gadget form that he puts back on the right gauntlet.
Kiyoshi: [He sighs in relief.] Lillian, you can come out now. [Lillian walks out of hiding and stands next to Kiyoshi with her guard still up while Vera also walks out of hiding and stands on the other side alone; trusting none of them.] I'm Kiyoshi and this is Lillian.
Vera: Vera...
Firefighter: I'm... the guy that doesn't give a fuck about your names, okay?!
Vera: You don't need to sound like a dick, man.
Firefighter: Oh, I'm sorry. Just what the fuck am I suppose to do with your damn names, huh? I don't plan on working or seeing any of you again after this.
Kiyoshi: Neither do we, man. But for the mean time, we need to atleast know each others names...
Firefighter: Okay... Let me make myself clear to you all. I don't work with random fucking people. In fact, I work alone entirely. So — [He looks at Vera] Fuck you... And I'm leaving. [He turns around to walk away but comes to a halt as a male voice familiar to Lillian speaks to them from all sides.]
?: Wooow. Its incredible, how much you've became a lone wolf.
Firefighter: Eh, just how many random people are gonna keep showing up in this damn place?!
Lillian [thoughts on the male voice]: That voice...
Lillian: [She gasps in realization before clenching her fists.] Logan...
