Victor Rodrigo de Asturias Fighter || Aria || Exorcist || Exwire
The rail station was empty that night, unmanned as the hour was late. The skies were clear and the moon shone with a full face. In the distance, one standing on the platform would be able to see the headlight of an incoming train. It chugged along quite well for it's size and was one of the fastest in the world in it's day. One would wonder why anyone would bother traveling by that method anymore considering the air station held a much more hurried alternative. The train by ground rails was more or less for those who preferred to remain closer to Earth or for those nostalgic travelers reminiscent of a different time. For a particular passenger that night, it was the latter. As the train neared the station, it's brakes engaged and began to screech, slowing the locomotive. Once fully stopped, the train seemed to sigh as if resting from it's run from the town nearby. A single passenger stepped off, dismounting the machine through a small set of stairs. The man wore violet and cradled a cigar in his right hand. It wasn't lit yet, most likely due to the newer laws against smoking in public transport. He pulled out a book of matches that read “Matsuda's” and lifted the last match in the book. With the flick of the wrist, the tip of the match ignited. Lighting the cigar with a few puffs, the man put out the match and threw it away. With his right hand, he removed the cigar from his mouth while he pulled back his hair with his free hand, revealing his face. Victor looked up at the moon that shone down at him like a spotlight as the train let out a burst of steam behind him. He looked over his shoulder at the train as if it had shooed him away before putting the cigar in his mouth.
Victor took a step forward and began to make his way into the station. There were several examples of vandalism on the station walls that said nothing good of the city. Thoughts of the Academy and what was laid out before him that year, filled Victor's mind. The faces of his classmates were fresh in his mind as was the mission he had been assigned to before he left. There had been an animal possession in a nearby town in which wild wolves from wild areas had migrated due to newly cut forested lands. Victor had been sent to cooperate with a crew of specialists that were based in that town. They had turned out to be real professionals and proficient at that. Victor wasn't much of a team player and usually relied on his own strengths, but working with other exorcists with experience was a true relief. Victor traveled down a set of stairs that led from the inside of the rail station to the street. It was easy to find his way back towards the center of the city but at that hour, it was discouraged due to the current Pandemonium threat. It was a running case under investigation involving young kids and demon pacts all in the name of a video game. Victor had yet to touch onto any leads concerning the phenomena but something told him that he didn't have to look too far from the Academy to find something demon related. As Victor walked down the street sidewalk, he noticed there were few cars rounding the block. There were fewer than a few months back surely due to the rising rate in crime. People didn't stand about outside much anymore and Victor didn't like that. It was an oppressive feeling to have the city under a seal of fear.
There was a small parking lot just a few ways away from the rail station that Victor entered purposefully. There was a black motorcycle that stood alone in the lot with a helmet carefully hugging the backseat backrest. As he walked to the machine, Victor pulled a set of keys from his left pant pocket. Memories of a certain person came to mind once he took the helmet from it's resting place. It had once fit on the head of someone Victor thought of value to him. He wondered about what she could be doing at that hour and imagined her asleep in her bed as he sat down and threw on the modular helmet. Reaching underneath his right thigh, Victor sent power into the motorcycles systems. He then took hold of the controls. With the pressing of two buttons and a lever or two, Victor was moving and soon riding the bike down into the street and the night.

- Kazai had finally stopped his stride once he reached the location he was desired to be. The subway. Spooky place it was. He already contacted the exorcists in the area to let them know what he was undertaking. It was because of that, that the area was pretty much empty. He knew the details of his mission already, and was prepared to take the whole thing on alone if he really had to. No way was he going to let those deaths all be in vain. Lifting his khakkhara up from under his arm, he'd spin it once in his hand, the jingling of the chimes and rings on it resonating through the area.
About sixteen children died, the first one a possible accident. The poor girl was hit by a runaway train and died. After that though, it seemed as if the blood of the first girl started a chain reaction. Fifteen more kids under the age of thirteen died, and these deaths were from claw and fang marks. The bastards drained the children alive, and that was unforgivable. His mafia had almost been put to blame over the whole little fiasco, and he had angry, saddened, grieving parents constantly bashing at not only his name, but Black Regalia as a whole and many other mafias as well. If mafias were killing children, they would have been handled a long time ago by himself.
Moving forwards, he descended the stairs into the subway station, only to find the entire place deserted with small, rank E demons polluting the air. Nothing major yet, nothing life threatening, nothing that could kill any little children. His eyes narrowed before he took more steps into the abandoned station.
"Show yourselves!"
His call out to the enemy came through a rasped throat, a growling tone in his voice, not willing to show any remorse to these goblins when he saw them. He'd destroy them and their queen. Gripping his weapon and pointing out a finger with that same hand, he pressed his finger to his forearm where his tattoo was, ready to summon any of his wolves at any given moment. He probably wouldn't use Lupa for the current situation. No, he'd use his hellhounds, and kill the enemy with multiple bursts of attacks. He'd have to remember that goblins came out in extremely large quantities.
Olivia road silently on the train as she started to approach the city that was beneath the very school she would be teacher at. Even though she going to be a teacher and was already a full fledged exorcist, Olivia didn't act like one. She wore her orange romper and with the brown belt across her waist. Her thigh high stockings with a pair of worker boots, which were resting on the head of the seat just in front of her. Olivia was slouching her her seat, her bum on the edge of the chair, and her head resting on the lower part of the back rest. Her feet that rested on the head rest from the seat before her were crossed her her ankles while she bounced her top foot repeatedly up and down. She could be seen holding on to a stick of sucker on her mouth.
Suddenly a large and rather heavy sigh escaped her lips and she bite down on her sucker tossing the stick behind her."Gauh! I'm so bored!"She shot up from her lazy seating possession into a perky one. Her legs now criss-crossed in her seat and her arms stretching upwards. "I feel like I've been on this train forever! How much longer could it B-"Before she could finish the train had passed through the tunnel and the shadow was lifted from train and revealed the city. Looking out the window in pure aw her hands were rested upon the glass as she looked at the large city."Woah, this place is huge! So fancy looking. Wait." Pausing for a second she saw nothing put smoke coming from the top of the city, where the academy was suppose to be located at. Even from the train tracks she could see the flames as the train treked down the tracks and headed across a bridge to enter into the city."What.....The.....Hell!?" She screamed in disbelieving that the school was busted into flames and was now crumbling into the ground.
An announcement started to ring on the train as the conductor stated that they would not be stopping the the city due to safety concerns. Standing up out of her chain Olivia fixed her goggles making sure they were sucure enough on her head and stormed her cart and headed for the head car. Upon arriving she kicked the door open and smiked at the conductor as they turned around to her. "Alright here's the deal. We are going to stop in the city and you will let be off with all of my lougage, okay?" The conductors looked at each other with a confused look and back to her. One of them had the nerve to say what was on their mind, if only he knew what was going to happen followly shortly after."Are you nuts lady? It's not safe in the city there are calls of people being attacked. Your out of your mind if you think we are stopping." And with that said Olivia hand no other choice but to result to force. Stepping inside the cart she closed the door behind her and started to crack her knuckles inside of her leather black gloves and smirking. "Well i guess you give me no other choice." A devilish look appeared upon her face as she took her steps towards the conductors.
standing outside the train Olivia had a huge smile on her face and all of her bags were placed behind her. Her right arm was reached up into the air as she waved at the train and addressed the conductors."Thank you! I'm glad we could come to an understanding!" She yelled to the two men and one of them peaked out the window with a bandage around his head."You're nuts lady!' he yelled back to her and all Olivia could do is laugh and continued to wave as the train took off and headed out of the city. Once the train left the station she turned around and grabbed hold of her bags."Okay....Now what? huummm."
The station started to fill with people crowding around the ticket booth for tickets. Men and women started to push each other aside trying to get a ticket before anyone else could. Sadly for them there were no more trains leaving the station for that day. The last train other than Olivia's had left no more than 30 minutes ago. The person behind the booth had tried to apologize to the crowd. "Please, I'm sorry there are no more trains leaving the station! Please return to your homes and stay there hidden." He started to close the gate from the top of the glass and closed it locking the crowd out of the booth. "What do you mean there are no more trains! We have to leave we'll all die!" A man screamed as he held his daughter in his arms. Olivia has had enough of watching people worry for their lives. Across the way there was a police officer with a blow horn trying to keep the crowd calm.
"Ugh! I don't have time for this!" Olivia trailed her bag behind her as she approached the officer. lifting the bag off the ground only to slam it back down onto it's wheels the bag stood there on it's own without any help from her own hands. She reached over for the megaphone and pushed the officer out of the way. Olivia knew she needed to get to the academy but she couldn't just stand there and watch people trample over themselves."Gah! Give me that! Alright listen up! All of you need to get back to your homes right away, I'm here to put a stop to these outbreaks, and I've personally went through training to deal with these types of situations! Now get back to your homes or so help me god I'll hunt you down myself and beat you to a pulp!" Tossing the megaphone back to the officer she grabbed her back and walked off. "Here you go! There all yours officer. Make sure they get home safe."Normally she isn't this agressive of a person but she had hoped she would knock some sense in to them, if not she would just leave it to the officer and she walked away towards the academy.
