Terrox chuckled to himself as he said, "I don't know about that. I can be sure half of the crowd here is going to or was just at the Mall. But it might be a better place to search. We've gotta find these guys fast, before any others are caught." he stared towards the mall, the entrance to its parking lot was right next to them. It was a tall building with four entrances, one resembling each Cardinal Direction.
((Yeah, one on one conversations do that.))

Teresa continued walking down the street. She watched her footing and stepped carefully. She wasn't wearing any shoes under her long skirt. She idly played with the designs on her wand. Meandering near the fountain, she saw a bunch of people, including a couple guys who looked like they were going somewhere. She ignored the other people in favor of plopping onto the side of the fountain, dangling her feet into the water. Noone would care. Noone drank this water.

Raish nodded, turning back around to Terrox. Turning to it, Raish also viewed the large mall. It was a work of architectural genius considering that it only had 5 main support beams in it entirety. "So, I guess we should..." Raish stopped as someone caught his eye who was nearing the fountain. Lowerin the brim of his hat and readying a few darts in his hand he spoke, "A recollector. I'll be right back. She doesn't look very strong. In fact, she's only carrying a fancy stick. This will be so easy." With that he dashed off towards the girl refreshing herself at the fountain. Darting in between others he made himself known by shooting a single dart, it landing right at the ledge of the fountain next to her. Anxious exonds passed while Raish waited for her response to this action. "Will she take the chakkenge or is she just too much of a coward to even move? She must have noticed, because it even cracked the ledge a little."

Terrox looked at where Raish was looking, and at the girl. A Recollector, huh? as he went towards her, he decided that he might be in for quite a show. After all, it'd have been interesting to him if the girl shouted "child molester" or something to that efffect, but it'd have been better for their sake if she didn't.
He said quietly, "Go get 'em." somewhat dejected over Raish getting to catch a Recollector before he did. There'll be others, he convinced his self as he leaned back to watch the battle. I'm sure if she hasn't unlocked any powers now, she will in a few minutes. I hear that they're fueled by adrenalin.

Kyou took his first step into the City, passing through the giant 25ft tall gateway, into an extremely crowded center square, so full that he could hardly make out the ground beneath him. No one really got in the way, since they all moved out of his way as he passed. His dark form vanished into an alleyway, where he sat down, pulling his heavy load to the side. His hood removed, he placed his hands behind his neck and pulled out more than half his height in long shining white hair. It contrasted so much with his attire, being completely dressed in black. He wiped the sweat from his brow and sighed longly, letting his head drop back slightly. It was so bloody sunny today and he could never get used to the temperature like before. He had spent many of his last years, training his body in the northern states, where the weather was always below 10C year-round.
No one was near him, but he looked upon the people in a heavy daze, the heat taking him down. One by one, they never stopped....
Why was he here...who was he looking for....even he had trouble knowing...all he DID know...was that he had one group of people to destroy...

Teresa blinks at the sensation of something hitting her thigh and immediately looks to see what might have caused it. Noticing the crack, she frowns deeply. That crack hadn't been there when she sat down a moment ago. She would have noticed it before now. That means it had been added since she sat down. Was someone trying to attack her? She had to make a choice, now. Did she look for the intent behind that gouge in the ledge, or not? Whoever it was, they were trying to make themselves known, she guesstimated.
Teresa looks at the fountain, then focuses on looking through the fountain. ~I want to see the one who wants to hurt me,~ she thinks to herself, setting a firm goal in mind. Being vague just gave her headaches. When the fountain disappears from her eyes, replaced by a blank, fuzzy whiteness, she takes another look around. Instead of seeing a single person, as she expected, Teresa very clearly sees two men, dark against the fog-like whiteness, in spite of whatever people or objects might have impeded her view. The closer one looked like the culprit, and she let her eyes slide away, allowing the fuzziness to fade.
Teresa had to wait only a few minutes before her vision cleared competely enough for her to see anything, and a few minutes more before she could use one of her other talents. She could not focus on this as well, because there was no real sensory change, "My geographically nearest ally against the ones who wish to harm me." As she spoke, she gradually became aware of the fuzz pressing in, it seemed to weigh down her throat and tongue, "I'm not sure who you are," she spoke to her ally, aware that her voice was now inaudible, "But I know you will help me. I am under attack, and you are the closest one. I am sitting on the fountain, if you can see it. Please hurry. I want to get away from people, so noone I know gets hurt."
Teresa now had a dilemma. Did she acknowledge the person coming after her, or not? She was aware of the fuzz slowly beginning to dissipate, but there was nothing more she could do. She didn't have the physical strength to take them head, her speed was less than average, and using her powers had drained her psychic reserves, which meant that doing magic would be unpleasant at best. And she had a terrible headache to boot. She presses the globe of her wand to her lips as she tries to decide on the best course of action.

As Kyou dozed silently, he was hit with a sudden beam of thought. He could hear a voice...faintly. His eyes snapped open, completely surprised. It was not a voice that spoke to his ears, but directly to his mind. It feld odd, since all he could hear was the people outside, but it was as if the voice was his own thought. He reacted to it...the person...or whoever...was in distress...he sensed it within her tone, even if seemingly calm. Quickly, he hid his head into his cloak, returning into a black shadow and ran to the corner of the alley, peering onto the square. The voice told him that the location was a fountain and from the tonality, it was feminine. A quick glance to the left spotted his target. A brown-skinned 5ft'6 female, with dark hair and a large build. Silently, he spoke words that were unintentionnal but nonetheless useful.
"K.Y.O.U. System Engaged. Tracking System Enabled. Analyzing Surroundings....657 identifiable targets found. Scanning for Threat Levels....2 major threats found. Multiple Weapons found. Three Major Energy Signatures filtered. Seperating as Friendly/Neutral/Enemy. Finished. K.Y.O.U. system fully activated!", he said at a speed hardly discernable to human ears. His eyes flashed all the while with screens, colors and flashes, as if they carried some kind of computerized screens.
The situation being analyzed, he needed a way to contact the girl that was in distress without revealing himself to the two threats, which stood exactly 14,568 and 15,5299 feet away from the girl. Slowly, he pulled out an object from his cloak that seemed like a yo-yo, except it had no string on it. In the place of the string, a glowing aura flowed. Grabbing a part of it, he spun about and whipped it out at the girl. It turned invisible as it sped, people passing through the "wire" like nothing. The projectile hit mark and he placed the yo-yo type object to his mouth to speak.
"Don't move, react or speak. I am a friend...what is it you wish?..."

Teresa blinked as a male voice suddenly spoke into her ear. What did she wish?! She needed help! She silently fumed, lightly tapping the globe against her lips. Her voice hadn't returned yet! She was so ********! She idly tapped her fingernail against the globe and it produced a muted clicking noise. Blinking, she decided to clink her class ring against the globe and it produced a louder clink. She couldn't speak, but she could clink her ring. She'd be able to speak soon, the fuzz was starting to dissipate, and for that she was grateful.

Terrox eyed K.Y.O.U. as he entered thought, Reinforcements already? Is she a telepath? Or was he watching us all along? he took off his sunglasses as he was startled.
He approached him walking on the edge of the fountain, "Look what the cat dragged in. It's as if our greatest mistake came back to haunt us. I'm surprised an abomination like you still exists." he tossed the sunglasses aside as he waved to KYOU. He was only 14 at the time of his birth, but he had quite some memory of KYOU He remembered him as the android created to help them understand things. It seemed to be a free-thinker and left their organization.
"Let's see... Now you've joined up with them? How low can you possibly revert to?"

Kyou made a kind of "ch" noise when he realized he had been dscovered. Slowly, he moved out of the alley and walked a little out, where the other man met him. He knew him instantly.
"Terrox-kun....It's been a long time...", he said with a hateful smirk.
Quietly, he slipped his right hand behind him and bowed to the Disregarder. How he'd been discovered, he didn't know, but the little boy he once knew had surely grew up and sharpened his senses.
"Allied with whom....I'm not quite sure of the situation that is presented here. I was simply conversing with someone. Although I'm sure whatever is going on here, with you and him involved, it must be another one of your "vanishing tricks", neh?"
Standing up straight, he towered above Terrox, his face still covered in darkness along with everything else. A pitch black energy flowed from him steadily as he moved up to Terrox again.
"It would seem you are causing my friend over there to feel a little threatened. Would you care to explain your reasons for being so hostile towards a common female. Maybe your hormones have finally kicked in, little Terrox-kun"
He purposely ended his last sentence with a kind of degrading voice, normally used for a child. He knew this would affect his former co-worker. He was hoping for it...The system inside him was burning with a fighting desire!

Terrox groaned, "Look, you aren't one to talk. And I don't care about the girl in 'that' way. It's a mission." he added, "Well, Kyou. Seeing as you're in the way, I'll have the honor to destroy you." suddenly in a flash of light the city was completely silent and empty. There were no people in the area with the exception of Terrox, Raish, Kyou and Teresa. Terrox materialized a wicked black scythe with a pale blue blade, furthermore, he all of the sudden rather than wearing the normal clothes, he had his attire in which he wore as a Disregarder. A tuxedo with slightly torn sleeves and a shirt under it with a red tie. It was safe to say none of the outfit was black or white, as his coat was a very dark grey and his shirt was just grey.
He said to Kyou in a singsong voice, not paying attention to Raish's general prey, Teresa, "I suggest you just bite off your tongue right now. It'll be less painful than what I do to you."
((The City emptier is a basic Disregarder Combat Trick. Not a character specific power. It's effect wears off when anyone escapes the area, is killed or knocked out, or surrenders. Furthermore,all damage done to the area is healed afterwards.))

Kyou smiled at Terrox, seeing that the comment had hit him, even if brushed off suddenly. The tension grew as he saw Terrox building up his energy. The aura flowed from him, strong.
"Do not get me wrong, Terrox-kun. I do not stand between you and the girl, although I do know your taste in so called 'missions'."
He saw the city empty around him as Terrox's aura seeped out in huge quantities. Obviously, this technique required alot of power and Kyou figured that it was in the Disregarders' regulation and code to initilize the City Emptier Technique...seeing as how they were trying to make everything equal and make the people forget about the past.
"It would seem that you've honed your Hatsu energy, as well as your general Nen abilities", Kyou said as Terrox transformed into his true form. "Too bad that your Ten is still weak. I can clearly make out your aura."
"Satte-to...".....
Kyou removed his cloak in a clean sweep and threw it aside, revealing himself. He was completely covered in tight leather and straps, body armor and protective equipment. His eyes were completely black and his hair fell back to his waist, white like pure snow. He peered upon Terrox's scythe, smiling. His Rime of The Devil had grown quite nicely. Taking a step forward, he tilted his chin up and pointed at Terrox.
"You really want to do this?...you do know I mean you no immediate harm...."

Teresa blinks. What the hell was going on? This was very like what happened when she fuzzed everything out to see others, but it was different. Grey, as opposed to the usual whiteness. Her voice had returned to her and, looking around, she quickly realizes that there was a total of four people in this domain, including herself.
Standing, to make herself less vulnerable, Teresa mentally panics about what to do. The only times her wand was truly useful was when she used it to summon magic, or she got the drop on her enemy and bashed them in the head. And she wasn't sure how effective or ineffective her magic would be here. She clutches her wand close to her waist, painfully aware of her own bare feet and her size. She was definitely under attack, but all she could do now was wait and see what happened.

Terrox chuckled warmly to himself, as he pointed at Kyou, "You pretend you know my abilities like the back of your hand. You haven't even been here in years. I, technically, have yet to even do anything. You obviously don't understand any of our technologies and abilities. You might as well know nothing about my battling strategies." he said in a cross, defiant way, "Well, you wanna make your first blow, or may I have the honor?" he was prepared, Terrox often anticipates enemy attacks. His bizarre movements in battle made it easy for him to dodge attacks. He generally tries to learn his enemys abilities and attacking patterns until he knew algorithm of their moves to make an easier, safer offense.

Raish, sensing another, didn't pay attention, but kept his eyes fixed on the girl for a reaction. "Could she have called him? Telepaths... they're never strong enough to face anything on their own, so they just call for help." Terrox met this stranger and they conversed for some time. terrox swept the square clean, both terrox and the other donning their true selves. Raish stood, waiting for the girl to turn around. yes, she saw him all right. Raish turned to terrox and the stranger. Gasping, Raish saw who the girl's savior was. Smiling wickedly, Raish spoke to Kyou, "Ah, well if it isn't little Mr Mistake. Yes, I have... changed since you last saw me. Then again, so have you. Not to worry. I won't harm your precious little girlfriend here. In fact, she isn't going anywhere." 10 darts flew to his hands, making his hands have a claw-like appearance. Releasing the volley in the direction of Teresa, they struck in an arc about 10 feet from her. All ten seemed to melt into individual pools of a tar-like substance. Rising from each puddle was a little monster with a body of the same black jelly-like consistency, razor shapr claws, and solid green eyes. They uttered strange howls and cackles of delight in some forbidden tongue upon seeing their target. The manifest surrounded her with about 2/3 of a circle. Their anticipation grew as their dull green orbs serched her hungrily. They were extreemly tense, waiting to pounce upon her, but held back by Raish's supreme command. Turning back to Kyou he spoke softly, "I'll bet you've never seen powers like that before, eh?" before I was just a scientist among others working on the project that made you what you are today. Since then, I quite my developmental work and strove towards power. Asd you can plainly see, I have found it. Sure, mixing with otherworldy energies and creatures might be considered risky, but I, like anyone else, love a good challenge."
