Screams of bystanders soon engulfed the whole city block. Everyone was running away and trying to escape the chaos but the mobsters found that using them to inhibit the young hunters and huntresses from attacking was a good idea.

Hearing the desperate calls for help, Akiba looked back from the white-masked bodyguard to find innocent lives in danger. The mobsters are playing a very dangerous game, and Akiba knew he needed to do something about it. He gave a short glance over to the masked swordswoman before running off to meet up with Tendon. He has never declined a challenge before, but the current situation has forced him to back out and save the bystanders involved.

He soon finds Tendon standing ontop of a STARK and finishing it off with a flurry of downwards swings. With one last arc down, he Tendon quickly jumped away just before the STARK exploded and sending shrapnel and machine parts flying everywhere.

Taking notice of Akiba, Tendon waved at him with a grin on his face. "Yo, Aki! These busters tough, man! You should'v-"

The two were cut short when a bullet passed by between them. The two quickly turned towards the direction of the bullet fired to find a mobster who quickly jumped back into the crowd.

"Kono yarou (You bastard)...", Tendon said lowly, "Hiding behind innocent people...  what a bunch of cowards!", Tendon yelled at the top of his lungs so that the mobsters could hear him. It obviously didn't scare them nor stop them from using the civies as meatshields.

Akiba can't blame them. It may be very low-ball move, but the fact that they can't get close to them was a clear indicator that the strategy is working.

So Akiba decided to also use the crowd to his advantage. He quickly ran into the panicking mob and immediately dissapaeared. Noticing this, the mobsters started to focus on Akiba first, but unfortunately he wasn't the only one that was in the crowd.

*Thunk*

The sound of metal hitting a person head was heard, and the group tried to find where it came from but soon enough the sound began to spread and before they knew it, a man in a trench coat was spotted using a briefcase to knockout them out.

"You lot need to learn some manners. Isn't it rude to use people as shields?", joked the Senior Detective as he transformed his briefcase into an electric gauntlet.

He charged in and punched one of the attackers in the gut, sending electricity into him and knocking him out in one go. One tried to attack Douglas from behind but he was intercepted by Akiba with a drop kick.

Now the sea of people began to thin and with it, more and more of the group began to show themselves. Akiba confirms that there are a good 13 or so of them he spotted. Realizing that he and Douglas were surrounded, the two backed up to each other back-to-back, both brandishing their weapons. Just as they did then Tendon decided to finally join in the party, causing yet more carnage and surprising more of the group. If one could read there minds, they would be saying, "Just how many more of these battle-hungry freaks are there!?"

"KIDS! Go finish up what your doing and help evacuate the civilians! And someone find that blasted Barnes!", he yelled towards the young hunters and huntresses. "Akiba, you go and find this bastard. We'll handle it here." he then ordered Akiba, who nodded and with the helpf of Tendon ran off to the once again destroyed building.

With it he noticed the masked swordswoman again and stopped. He just realized that she may know where he is, since she seems to have just been hired in judging from her attitude. But he may have to fight her to do so...

Well he did leave her despite him being the one who challenged her, but he'll try to see if he can talk it out.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">So he walked up to her once again, but this time bowing in front of her with his arms outstretched and holding his scroll. On its screen was a message.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Greetings. Sorry for leaving earlier, but is it possible if we can talk this out? I need to find Barnes."

<p style="font-weight:normal;">It was straightforward and short, but it was decent. So now Akiba waits for the swordswoman's answer.
