First you must tenderize the meat... [COMPLETE]

Character(s): Yuuri, open
Content: Yuuri gets ripped out of a fight and ends up in Paixao. Cue rampaging bull!
Setting: Niflheim gate
Time: Sunset
Warnings: Angry. Rampaging. Bull. This one has a very short fuse and can turn violent easy. Also, swearing.

Yuuri had her. She HAD her! Kazumi was about to die, she was finally going to get her revenge on those Pleiades bitches and then... Well, she wasn’t quite sure what happened, but that Kyubey lookalike did something! She had her, SHE HAD HER!

And now... she was standing in a line, no signs of fighting or struggle, no signs of murderous magical girls, just... a line filled with dumb people. A witch barrier? Nah, couldn’t be... even if the place looked about as gaudy as a barrier could get. No... this was all those bitches’ fault. What the hell did they do? What kind of magic was this? They shouldn’t have been able to get past her force field!

“What the hell is this?!” she screamed out, making every good little meek Paixaoan around her jump in fright. However, her outburst took an entirely new meaning for them as what appeared to be a bull suddenly materialised out of thin air and ran straight at them. The crowd dispersed, running around like the scared puppets they were and completely ignoring Yuuri as she pushed past them.

Heh, well she didn’t really care that they took her shout as a heartfelt warning instead of a war declaration; at least she wouldn’t have to deal with them. It really looked like no one had made the connection that she was the one controlling the bull. She kept on making the bull attack around randomly... either he was going to break whatever magic was creating this place, or it would draw out the Pleiades... either way, she was going to win this one.

And if it meant having to destroy the people around here, assuming they were real, well... that’ll just be more blood on their hands.

"Paixao," came a calm, matter of fact voice as a wild looking woman emerged from the crowds. She was making her way to St Destino, and just happened to catch the commotion, which seems to have been started by a new arrival. Fang crossed her arms as she approached the girl, sizing her up a little in the process.

"And you'd better get used to it, chances are you're in for an extended stay."

If Yuuri was surprised at the sudden intrusion, she never showed it. Her face was betrayed no emotion except anger, though it wasn't directed towards the newcomer. Her magical bull, Cole, momentarily stopped his rampaging and regained his position next to his mistress.

"You think you can just keep the great Yuuri in here?" she said, a cocky grin finally forming on her face. That woman... she didn't look like she belonged with the Pleiades, heck, she was pretty sure she wasn't even a magical girl. Well... she looked the part, but something was off.

Fang rose an eyebrow as the beast seemed to return to its mistress. Her first thought was 'eidolon' but she didn't voice it. "Not up to me, I'm afraid." All right so that whole 'the great' thing was a little strange... "And if you can find a way out, I bet there's a few dozen people who'd thank you for it. But for now, you're stuck here. Just like the rest of us."

She paused, and crossed her arms over her chest. "Friend of yours?" she nodded, indicating the bull's presence.

Not up to her? As angry and irrational as she could be... she had no reason not to believe her. After all, she knew who the real culprits were. "The rest?"

That part she had a little more trouble believing. She knew those murderous bitches were killing other girls... but transporting that many people? This seemed farfetched.

"He's mine," she finally said, waving her arm dismissively. "And that is all you need to know." No reason to show around her magic to 'normal' people after all.

Mao had heard the commotion before he had seen it, and his curiosity (as well as a demon's general attraction to violence) had brought him closer to Fang and Yuuri. However, he paid little attention to the women, his gaze focused primarily focused on the creature by the pigtailed girl's side. There was definitely a magical aura around it. Had that girl summoned it?

...Ah, there. She had just admitted to it--in a way. Still, he'd take "all he needed to know" as a challenge. "Interesting... So it follows your commands?" A couple fingers rested on the arm of his glasses.

After a brief pause -- Fang shrugged. She didn't really care all that much about the details anyway. But if that thing went off into the crowds; she'd deal with it.

"I wouldn't get too close to that if I were you," she warned the young boy that approached. "He doesn't look like the friendly type."

Well crap... at this point Yuuri was really starting to feel trapped. On one hand, these two would probably cause no problems for her. She could attack them easily, get rid of them, and be on her way without blinking an eye.

On the other hand... they were normal people. She couldn't care less about them, but at the same time, she couldn't just start tossing her magic left and right in front of them, especially not in public. She was on a mission and getting in the police's mire was a bad idea, no matter how easily she could take them. For all they knew, Cole was just a regular bull... as improbable as it could be.

She glared at the newcomer, not knowing if he was genuinely curious, or if he was trying to entrap her into admitting guilt. "He's friendly enough towards me. That is all," she answered, somewhat repeating herself. She had no time to waste with these two. "If you'll excuse me, I need to find those responsible for this."

She was clearly starting to lose her patience again.

Mao scoffed. "I know exactly what I'm doing! Don't talk to me like I'm a kid!" Why did everyone here have to jump to those conclusions, anyway? Besides. It was just too interesting to give up on like that.

"It's a summon, isn't it?" Mao asked, his excitement starting to get the best of him. The way the magic rolled off of it. There was no other possibility (at least, not any that his brilliant mind could come up with)!

She arched an eyebrow at Mao's reaction to her warning, then found herself smirking a little as she shook her head. "Suit yourself..." talking him out of it seemed like nothing short of useless, anyway.

Fang attention turned back towards the girl at that point, her expression turning a little more serious. "I'd just make sure he knows that these people aren't targets from now on."

"You don't need to worry about that," she answered the woman first. "I have my own targets." This was mostly true. She didn't care about the rest of them, as long as the Pleiades got what was coming to them. They weren't her target... though that wasn't to say she wouldn't use them for bait or incentives... After all, she couldn't do everything alone.

The woman was absolutely no threat to her, but the boy... "Don't talk about things that you don't know, boy." Where was Kyubey when she needed him? That child shouldn't know about magic and the likes... what was going on?

Oh that did it. He'd show this girl the power of his evil analytical skills! "Things I don't know? Things I don't know?! That thing has waves of magical energy just dripping off of it! And the magical signature fits yours almost exactly. Anyone with a brain could figure it out in an instant, nevermind someone with a 1.8 million EQ."

Mostly satisfied with the girl's answer, Fang was ready just to drop the subject at that and head on her way, but it seemed like the boy had other plans. "Hey, hey. There's no sense in gettin' yourself all worked up about it," the next thing you know, she joked inwardly, the way he was talking it sounded like he might start drooling about it or something...

He couldn't possibly be a magical girl... well okay, magical boy. Kyubey said it was just girls... so why was this dork able to sense magic? ~~And why couldn't he pronounce IQ correctly? Idiot.~~

"What are you?" She asked, a small, insane glint in her eyes. Cole started to stir up next to her mistress, this was starting to get interesting.

Mao glanced over at the other woman. "Of course it is! What the hell am I supposed to do when someone calls me out like that?" She didn't expect him to just take it, did she?

Then again, he'd already learned long ago that no one understood what a demon was around here. Even that one guy who posted to the message board acting like he did seemed to have a narrow point-of-view.

Again Mao turned his attention to the girl. "I'm a demon. Mao, Dean of the Nether Institute, Evil Academy!"

Was this kid... for real? Demon or not, an attitude like that was a sure fire way to get into trouble. Especially when he was staring down the wrong end of an angry bull. Fang had to admit though, he certainly had some gall to go up against those odds, no denying that... "Well Mao Dean, didn't they teach you about quittin' while you're ahead at that Academy of yours?" Maybe he missed that lesson. Or all of them. "Magical bull or not, I don't think he's your type."

A demon? Now that was just silly... never mind that if it was true, this kid was announcing it publicly? "Seems like a pretty horrible academy to me," she said to the woman, smirking. "Someone sounds like he should go back to school... maybe work on his delusions a bit."

Mao looked between the two, becoming increasingly agitated. "O, Oi! What's with those looks of disbelief?! Do you think I'm lying?! I can prove it right here, right now if I have to!"

Fang scoffed, this wasn't looking good. At this rate the two of them were going to get into it... and someone was going to get hurt. Babysitting wasn't exactly her plan for the day, but... then, these things seldom are.

"Your brains aren't gonna mean much starin' down the wrong end of a pair of horns like that," her advice wasn't really sinking in... "But maybe if you try again and ask her nicely she'll introduce ya." It was a half-joke, anything to get them off the path they were heading down.

This was getting nowhere fast. That kid was either delusional or knew something about this entire situation. "Prove it then, 'demon'," she said, not even bothering holding back a laugh.

She stared at the woman for a moment. Strange, why was she still here? What was she expecting out of all this? "Don't you find this whole thing strange? Him talking about magic and demons? These things don't exist." That was an outright lie, but considering these people didn't seem to really blink an eye to a bull in the middle of the street...

"Don't ex--?!" Between the woman in blue treating him like a child and the girl in the weird, flowery get up acting like he was lying, Mao had had more than enough of this crap. "Fine! If you're too stupid to see what's in front of your own eyes, I'll show you my power right now!" Mao turned, muttering under his breath, and thrust out a hand. Not even a second later, a spike of ice about as large as a small building exploded from the earth, and Mao lowered his hand with a cocky grin.

She had to admit, it was a little funny to hear that conclusion about magic coming from the girl in front of her. But before Fang had the chance to comment, the white-haired kid decided that now was as good a time as any to show off apparently.

Upon instinct, Fang assumed a defensive stance -- waiting to see what the attack would do exactly, but seeing that the purpose of it was bragging rights, she scowled in Mao's direction. "What're you tryin'a do? There's people all around!" she scoffed -- kids will be kids, wouldn't they? ... She shook her head, "For someone boastin' about the size of their head you sure don't seem to have much in it right about now."

It may not have been aimed at her directly, but right as the ice spike hit, Yuuri's face contorted into some sort of demented grin. She forgot all about the woman now, only focusing on the impossibility that stood before her. Yes, that was magic, no doubt about it, even she could feel it. But why would Kyubey make a contract with this boy? Why was he such an idiot as to reveal himself in the open like that?

You're not even supposed to exist! She mentally shouted right at Mao on a whim. And you just reveal yourself in public? HAHAHA! The tension and the adrenaline from her previous fight with the Pleiades still hasn't faded, no matter the change of scenery. Whatever calm she had managed to create for herself was tossed to the wind.

Four sub-machine guns materialized in front of her firing a shot each. It wasn't visible at this speed, but they weren't bullet: they were shackles. "What an idiot!"

Mao whipped back around to face the woman. "Wh, What the hell are you talking about?! You were the ones making me sound like a weakling! What was I supposed to do, sit back and take it?! Stop playing mind games already!" Only Mao was allowed to--

Mao's train of thought was immediately cut off by the girl's exclamation, followed by two loud bangs and suddenly finding himself pinned to the wall. He stared straight ahead, somewhat in shock.

What the hell just happened?!

Fang was about to lay a mediguard on this situation -- but seeing that the bullets weren't exactly what they seemed -- she held back just in time to avoid getting smacked with them herself. With her lance in hand now, she looked more serious now than she had the entire conversation...

"Hey! He's just a kid, go easy on him would ya?!"

Two against one wasn't hard, especially since it didn't look like the woman was a magical girl to begin with. Yes, she was vaguely surprised when she pulled out a weapon, but she could handle it. And anyway, the more dangerous one was already tied down... this was going to be easy.

Still... pulling out that kind of weapon in the middle of the street? What the heck was wrong with these people? Discretion was how you survived in this business... Where in the world did she land? But for the moment, she simply glared at the woman, her eyes telling her to get out or face the consequences.

"Corno Forte!" she shouted, leaping forwards towards Mao, Cole charging on ahead. Oh, she wasn't planning on killing him; he had answers after all, but this was going to hurt.

It didn't take Mao long to recover from his shock, and he glanced over at his bonds and pulled against him, trying to free himself. A good part of him still wondered exactly what had just happened (as well as how exactly these bullet/shackle things worked and where they came from), but like hell was he going to allow this girl to get one over him because of a sneak attack.

The sound of galloping hooves came closer and Mao narrowed his eyes. "I told you, I'm not a kid!" Green flames surrounded his right hand and Mao pulled that hand from its bond. His teeth grit, Mao thrust his hand out to catch one of them in his grasp and tried to ignore the awkward position he was now in for his efforts.

Sure, Mao was totally convincing. But what had Fang even more convinced about trouble was the turn that the conversation with the newcomer had taken -- and of course, the pointy set of horns locked onto the white-haired boy.

She ran, trying to put herself between Mao and the animal so that he had a chance to free himself further -- it seemed as though he could handle that much at least. "You all right?!" she called back to the boy over her shoulder, trying to take the bull by the horns -- literally. "Better get yourself outta there, I have a feelin' this is gonna start to heat up!"

Tch... so this is how it was going to be? Well if that woman wanted to die that much, she wasn't going to stop her. She simply let Cole charge on ahead as he had been doing, confident that he wouldn't be stopped that easily.

However, she hadn't expected Mao to get out of his shackles so fast. That being said, he was still at a disadvantage, so she simply summoned her guns again. No shackles as ammo, no, this time it was arrows.

The fire around Mao's hand dissipated, much to the demon's annoyance. Damn. None of them had come close enough for him to get Blast Finger off all the way. At least he had been able to get one hand free. A flash of light from his peripheral vision alerted him to the guns' resummoning, and Mao quickly looked around for the bull. He could probably take one of them out like this, but not both at once, especially if the girl was going to be a ranged fighter in this situation (and dammit, why couldn't anyone in this place have status screens for him to study?!).

"I'm fine!" Mao growled, and pulled out his sword, bringing it up to block against the arrow's assault. He just needed an opening to free his other hand. "I told you before, I'm a demon!"

Sure, a demon. Fang just hoped that it wasn't all talk, and assumed a defensive stance again as the bull charged towards her. If he hit her, she would just shoulder the damage; it was worth trying to get the chance to get a hold of the beast.

Demon or not, even Yuuri had to admit that the kid was doing fine for himself... though part of it was due to the woman interrupting the fight. "Play with her Cole," she said right before the bull switched tactics. He didn't charge straight ahead towards her, but leaped over her instead with surprising agility. He spun around while landing to try and resume charging her while her back was turned.

She left Cole to the woman while she turned her attention back towards Mao, her guns still hovering around her. "Stop being so difficult!"

"You're the one who started this! What's your problem anyway?!" Was this girl even a human? Tch, she sure didn't act like one. With a sharp tug, Mao ripped himself free of the other shackle. What did she want him to do, use all of his power right here, right now? What would the point of that even be? There were still too many people around to make an attack too big anything other than a pain.

He scoffed. "If you wanted a fight the whole time you should have just said it."

Damn that thing was agile for a big fellow! Fang cursed a little under her breath. Fighting an eidolon-type creature hadn't exactly been in the day plan. The sound of his hooves on the ground alerted her to his next direction, making it easy for her to turn in time and smile a little as she lowered her gaze. "All right. Let's dance!"

She started this? That kid had a short memory for a "genius" with millions of IQ points... or whatever he was claiming. Oh well, it didn't really matter who started it, what mattered was that he was a strange one, something that currently shouldn't exist... and that she was going to question him on her terms.

And those terms included a new set of machine guns firing at Mao again, this time though, it was simply rope... rope that seemed to bend to try to tie him up. She was going to get him to come one way or an other.

Cole, on the other hand, was a bit more predictable. His job usually consisted at simply ramming into immobilized victims, but clearly that woman wasn't tied down. It didn't matter much to him though, he only did what his mistress told him to. So he simply lowered his head and charged the woman, eying the spear. If his mistress was telling him to attack like this, she mustn't think too much of the woman in the first place.

Of all the times not to have a staff on him... The extra range for his spells would have saved him this kind of humiliation. Knowing spells in elements other than ice would help at this point, too.

Mao slashed at the ropes with the intention to cut them before they reached him, but he hadn't been expecting them to curve. Within seconds Mao was completely wrapped up and struggling to free himself, his sword dropped on the ground. Just what the hell were those guns, anyway?!

Good, that should calm that kid down for a small bit. She quickly dismissed her firearms and decided that it was time to make a run for it... Mao of course, being promoted to luggage. She jumped over to him and simply grabbed him by the back, surprisingly easily lifting him. She was about to jump away... until she paused for a split second...

Where exactly was she supposed to go?

Strangely, Mao had stopped struggling against his bonds. Even stranger, he didn't seem to be complaining about his current predicament. Instead, he stared straight ahead, his expression frozen in a look of surprise.

"I... I'm being kidnapped?" he finally managed to say, voice quiet. She hadn't been using lethal force at all had she? Most of the ammo had been restraining--the shackles and now these ropes, and now he was being picked up and taken away. He probably should have been busy wondering what she wanted with him, but...

But this wasn't how it worked. He wasn't supposed to be kidnapped! He was supposed to be the one doing the kidnapping!

"Stop stating the obvious," Yuuri said before jumping up towards the nearest building grabbing Mao along. If there was any indication that she wasn't somehow completely normal, there you had it, Mao. She looked back towards Cole... well he looked like he was having fun. She didn't dismiss him, assuming he could hold the woman back if she decided to try and stop her.

She looked in the distance, trying to find a place where she could hide out, or at least where she could blend in easier... with a tied up kid... okay, she needed to find a place to hide out. At least it wouldn't be for long, she'd just get rid of him afterwards.

She had a few cuts and scrapes here and there, but overall, she had been holding her own against the bull. She hadn't had the chance to pay much attention to the other two as they scrapped, but the sudden lack of attack noises was enough to make her notice that something was up.

Fang tore her attention away from the animal in time to catch a glimpse of the girl hightailing it, with the kid in tow. "What the..." the sight caught her off guard for a moment -- long enough for the next charge from Cole to connect. She staggered backwards for a moment, trying to regain her balance.

That was all Yuuri needed to make her escape. Taking advantage of the woman stumbling, she called back Cole, who jumped back to her with no difficulties. Mao seemed to have stopped struggling, making the entire situation even easier.

Without looking at the woman, she simply jumped to the next roof, making her way away from the gate with the demon kid in tow. "What a bunch of idiots, right Cole?"
