Attack on Kyoto

~10 June 2008~

Kojiro is busy serving the customers inside his cafe. Just usually, the Lunch rush hour is the busiest time, and he needs help to serve his customers that keep coming. Luckily, one of the neighbors is willing to help him serve the food and drink to the customer. The one that helped him is a Kitsune Youkai that lived next to his house and became his loyal customer. Her name is Honma Hiko, and She is a housewife while her husband works for Yasaka in her palace. He knows her because her husband is one of the researchers that come inside his cafe in the middle of the lunch rush hour and yells at him, demanding to give them the blueprint to the Miko outfit he gives for Yasaka. This is the way Hiko says she's sorry about her husband's behavior, by working for him in the lunch hour.

While cooking some food, Kojiro suddenly felt a massive amount of mana appear all around Kyoto. Before he could do anything about it, an explosion happened in front of the cafe.

*BOOM*

He immediately looks at Hiko and says,

"Lead the civilian upstairs. I have a secret room in my bedroom. Sakura will guide you there."

He then looks at Sakura and Kunou who are wearing the maid outfit and says,

"Sakura, guide Hiko-san to the emergency room. I will deal with this."

"Yes, Nii-chan"

"Good. Kunou, I want you to go with Sakura, alright? I will deal with this intruder."

"En"

"Good, Girl. Lilith Fou, Come with me!"

Before he could go outside, one of the customers says.

"Sir, this is an act of a terrorist, you will stay here and let the police take care…"

Before the man could finish his sentences, Kojiro made the man sleep and let one of his youkai customers take him to the emergency room. He is glad that many of his loyal customers are Youkai because he doesn't need to move them to a safe place himself.

After taking care of that, Kojiro walked outside with Fou and Lilith on both of his shoulders. He looks at many magicians bombarding his barrier using their spells. He immediately appeared in front of one of the magicians and summoned his sword before swinging it down, killing the magician instantly. Before they could attack him, Kojiro appeared in front of another Magician and killed him as well.

When Kojiro tries to go for another Magician, a woman appears in front of him. She has a green and black, blue energy that has a form of a cutlass.

"Cih. Fou Lilith. Take care of the magician while I will take care of this group of Stray Devil. No, hold back."

"Fou"

"Shhh"

Kojiro looks at Fou, and Lilith transforms in front of his eyes. Fou transforms into his 'White Beast' form. It has the form of a white wolf with two big horns on his head. He also has a blue aura around his body. The fire is hot enough that he can see the floor around him is becoming lava.

Kojiro also looks at Lilith, transforming into her bigger form that looks like a giant serpent. She has a 3-pronged tail, covered in many small diamond-shaped scales, but also has many large, spade-like spikes at its lower body and tail region. The head is draconic in shape and is blunt and sloped at the front. The mouth is full of sharp, pointed teeth as well as two long fangs on the top jaw, and a forked tongue.

"Go"

After hearing his command, both of them launch themself at the magician and kill them at high speed. He then looks at the group of Stray Devil in front of him and says.

"Let's make this quick."

He activated all his devices in his possession and then 'ran' toward his enemy. In a blink of an eye, Kojiro appears in front of the woman holding a cutlass made of energy and swinging down his sword; however, before his sword could cut her, the woman barely dodges his sword. Kojiro raises his eyebrow as the woman in front of him has yellow eyes while dodging his attack, but it changes back to the blue eyes the woman originally had.

He knows who is the one that has this type of power, but he needs to test it first.

He dodges a bullet coming at the woman from earlier (Kojiro calls her Militia) as she switches her cutlass to AK47. While blocking all the bullets, another person came from behind him. As his danger senses scream at him to dodge, Kojiro obeys his instinct and leaps away from his previous location. As he barely escapes, he hears an explosion happening and followed by a horrible ear-splitting noise.

He looked at the woman that attacked him from behind. She had long, usually unkempt 'platinum blonde' hair and pale blue eyes. She was wearing a black gown and black lipstick.

"Damsel of Distress"

Kojiro now knows two of three (possible four) identities of his enemy. The woman wearing a green jacket and having red hair is Miss Militia, and the other one is Damsel of Distress. Both of these are characters from Worm, and both of them are dangerous. Miss Militia can create any modern weapon using her power, and also it gives her knowledge on how to use the said weapon. It also influences her to aim and to adjust her balance. At the same time, Damsel of Distress has a power that creates maelstroms of inconsistent gravity and spacetime warping, chaotically twisting reality in uncontrolled cone-shaped blasts that severely alters anything in its path.

He hates their power. Miss Militia can summon a Nuke if she wants while Damsel of Distress has a power that ignores most forms of durabilities or barriers, making his armor and force field useless.

Kojiro snaps from his thoughts when another person comes onto the battlefield. This time the one that arrives is a woman wearing a golden chest plate and black boots. Underneath the armor, the woman was wearing black skin-tight spandex.

The woman looked at him, and suddenly, he had a shiver down his spine. It was like an invisible wind just passing by. The woman suddenly flew to him and punched him in the face. Kojiro can dodge it with ease, but as he dodges, he sees a grenade in front of his face.

*Boom*

Luckily, his force field protected him from the blast. Without giving him time to counter-attack, the woman (Known as Antares or Glory Girl if Kojiro memories are right) appears in front of him and punches him.

*Boom*

Antares punched him so hard that it created a shockwave and threw him a few meters away. He stabbed his sword to the ground to stop the momentum and let him hold his ground. That single punch was able to crack his forcefield with ease, but luckily, he already upgraded his equipment, making it tougher to destroy.

Kojiro raises his sword and takes a stance before saying.

"Suzumesashi"

He disappears and suddenly appears in front of Miss Militia and uses his stabbing technique at her. However, like before, her eyes become yellow for a moment, and she successfully dodges his attack once again.

Now he has confirmed that his enemy is not three people but rather four. He flares his mana wildly and activates his sensory skill. After a second, he can feel demonic energy coming from an apartment not far from his location. He then tried to go to the apartment, but before he could do that, the women in front of him stopped him from moving away from the fight.

He then switches his beloved sword to his canonblade and begins to charge with Kaleidoscope energy. While waiting for it to have full power, Kojiro ran toward Antares and swung down his sword, and just like he predicted, Antares dodge his sword attack; however, he already prepared another attack in the form of the rune, and to his surprise, Antares was able to avoid it as well. Kojiro then summons a bullet wind toward Antares, and, like before, she can avoid it. Still, before he could attack her like before, Damsel of Distress appears with a blast from her power and appears beside him and creates another explosion using her power. He quickly uses his rune to summon a tree root from the ground and pull Damsel of Distress hard enough to make her miss. However, Kojiro cannot take a break as Militia summon a Gatling gun turret and fire it at him. He summons a dome made of stone to protect him from the bullet and makes him safe for a second. However, his stone dome is destroyed by Antares punch, making him leap away from the hail of bullets and Antares fist.

He is sensing that his sword is ready, Kojiro smirk a little before charges at Antares once more and swings down his sword at her. As he predicted, Antares's eyes become yellow, and she can dodge his sword attack, but he is not aiming for Antares but rather a building behind her.

"Checkmate"

The sword cannon then fires a laser beam strong enough to destroy two buildings before hitting its target. After his laser beam destroys its target, it continues to punch through anything on its path and even makes a hole on a mountain in the distance.

"Errr, Oops?"
