[ The video turns on showing Zero holding down an amobea-like ayakashi with silver rose vines. While stalking Chikusa, he found the thing attached to a baseball player and went to remove it using Bloody Rose to get it off. The thing continually tries to get free but the silver vines are strong as diamond. ]

Who has a shinki to rend this thing?

[ The thing rages silently releasing a noxious stench as it tries to slash at him only to pass through as if he were a ghost. Before it has a chance at a second attack the rose vines engulf the limb rendering it immobile. ]

Hurry up.

[ooc: zero has no shinki. also, his god power is density manipulation. ]

You really should ask people more nicely.

[ This is Ichiru messing around since he doesn't have anything that can be offered to Zero at the moment. In fact, he's pretty useless, unfortunately. ]

Are you out hunting Ayakashi even though you have no Shinki to rend it? How diligent.

[ He contacts him back after the Ayakashi has been taken cared of. ]

I came across it.

[ ~~While stalking someone.~~ ]

[ He was doing other things so that worked out. ]

You came across it huh?

[ He almost seems like he doesn't believe it. ~~why are you suck a stalker?!~~ ]

It seems like you to clean up messes. Rather tedious isn't it to do something without a Shinki of your own?

Edited 2017-03-28 03:42 (UTC)

It's my duty.

[ And that's all he needed, even here. ]

Your duty as a God?

[ He can't seem to get a grip of why people are so dead on their duties, but it's not like he has any reason to question it either but for some reason the comment itself irks him and he doesn't say anything other than questioning about it. ]

What else.

You seem to have a rather strong conviction when it comes your duties is all.

Not just duty.

Eh? What else is there?

Family.

Family huh? How noble.

It's the only thing that matter.

I can see that. You're blunt as always.

Where are you?

[ More vines wrap around the creature as it struggles violently in its prison raging to attack. ]

The docks.

I'll be there when I get my shinki. Can you hold it off until then?

[ Another attack, this time, the ayakashi realigned its amoeba-like form breaching the barracade with a dark limb that shot out seemingly out of nowhere at full speed. But like before, it slammed straight through him making it rage in anger as it continually attempted to impale him until the vines buried the limb in its thicket slicing through the creature in reprimand. With the creature secured, Zero finally answers. ]

I'll wait.

[It takes a couple of minutes to gather what (and who) he needs and make his way towards the docks from the shrine he appears at, but he's not dragging his feet when he does show up. His shinki is at his side, in human form for the moment, both of them alert and ready when they spot the god struggling against the mass of vines.]

Hades?

[That was the name they'd posted with on the network, wasn't it? At any rate, it was definitely the man who'd been calling for help.]

[ The vines have tightened their hold on the creature, the thorns cutting flesh as they continuously slither around it. ]

You have your shinki?

[ Because he's not releasing it without a shinki present to rend it. ]

[Hijikata nods briefly in the direction of the young man at his side, then reaches out a hand towards him.]

Baiki!

[In the usual flash of light, Souji's human form vanishes and leaves a sword in Hijikata's outstretched hand.]

We're ready when you are. What are we up against?

[ His eyes shift to the pair the moment the shinki transforms. It's odd to him. But then, he was a god without a shinki. ]

It was attached to a runner.

[ He'd heard rumors about an ayakashi that attached itself to athletes so when he caught sight of it, it wasn't a hard puzzle to piece together. ]

It looks like a bacteria, changes it's form. Limbs keeps sprouting from nowhere.

[ It's why he has Bloody Rose completely wrapped around it, keeping it subdued. ]

[Hijikata looks completely natural and at ease with his weapon in hand. He's a god of war, after all, and he was a warrior long before that.]

[He stands back, watchful and waiting for his moment to act.]

Can the limbs be cut off?

[ Zero looks at him. ]

They regrow.

Tch. What a nuisance.

We'll have to cut through the limbs and the body in one strike if we can, then.

[That last part seems addressed at least in part to his sword.]

[ Speaking of strikes, Zero looks back at the creature still struggling for release. ]

What do you need from me.

[ Do you want him to let it go or hold it down? ]

Edited 2017-04-01 03:20 (UTC)

Depends. Will cutting the vines hurt you?

[It will be easier if the ayakashi's restrained, but he's confident he can handle it either way...]

[ The problem is, his vines are impossible to cut through. ]

I'll make an opening for you.

[ He turns his attention to the vines sprouting from his arm, feeding from his blood for power. ]

Hey. [ He addresses Bloody Rose - his anti-vampire gun turned rose-vines of death. ] Give him some room.

[ The vines continue to slither around the ayakashi seemingly ignoring him until they begin to split in half creating a thin opening all around. They move slowly, but they do their job even cutting off a limb that suddenly sprouted out to attack them. ]

[Once that opening is made, Hijikata doesn't waste another moment. He grips the hilt of his weapon firmly in both hands, his focus sharp and intense as he begins the incantation for Rending.]

You, who desecrate this land of the Rising Sun. With my Advent, I, Hachiman, lay waste with Baiki and expel thy vast defilement!

[He flash-steps in closer to the ayakashi, coming in at it suddenly, from an unexpected angle, the sword flashing down in a powerful but carefully controlled arc.]

Rend!

[ The incantation has the creature thrashing wildly but the vines tighten their hold keeping it down while the god of war steps in to rend it. When the sword goes through the ayakashi it turns in a black mass of nothingness before it collapses on itself to a single point and suddenly a bright light swathes around before disappearing. ]

......

[ Zero watches everything with precision before he calls back Bloody Rose. The solver vines slide out of his arm, no longer needing blood they reform back into a gun. Once solid, the Hunter puts her away. ]

Thank you.

[Hijikata stays for a moment in the stance he finished his attack in, while the ayakashi disintegrates before him and the vines retract. Then he straightens up, his shinki still held with nearly reverent care in his hands.]

It isn't a problem. Glad we could get here in time.

[ His eyes keep to the spot the ayakashi had been taken down. ]

Where do you think it went?

[That's an unexpected question. Hijikata frowns slightly, and shifts Souji's vessel to one hand so he can go for his cigarettes.]

Why do you ask?

It was a soul once.

[ And he... he must have been taken down the same way when he turned... ]

[That's...]

[That might be the least comfortable with all this he's felt since he took up this job.]

[Hijikata frowns, thinking quietly while he fetches his lighter and lights up. He doesn't answer until he has an answer that he's at least moderately satisfied with.]

Whatever happens, they're not who they used to be, in that state. Perhaps they're cleansed or sent to where they should be, but even if they're destroyed, most people wouldn't want to go on living the way the ayakashi do, anyway.

No.

[ He looks away from the spot. ]

They don't.

So whichever way you'd think of it... it ends up as an act of mercy.

[Not a pleasant one, perhaps, but he's more than used to bearing the burden of being cold enough to do the best thing possible even when it feels wrong.]

[ Like Level E's. Zero's already learned this lesson and yet... it's difficult having to face it here as it was back home during his first kill. ]

And our duty.

[He's quiet at that, but not in a way that seems like he's going to disagree. He takes a drag, holds it, sighs it out a few moments later.]

[Then he holds out his tin of cigarettes, a silent offer to share his meager solace. Sometimes there aren't words that can make a duty less painful.]

[ The smoke is all too familiar, images of his Yagari come to mind, but this person wasn't his sensei. ]

I'll remember your help.

[ He tells him as declines the offer. ]
