Miyamoto had felt the signature almost as soona s he'd powered up, intending to go fulfill the General King's orders, but feeling that signature he'd abondoned the idea and went after the signature. Whoever they were they were equal in rank to himself. The thought of a real fight, of someone who would no doubt put up a fight, was thrilling in a way for him. The planet this knight represented didn't matter to him - they'd die all the same.
The hunt hadn't gone badly, he didn't expected it would, it seemed the knight had been looking for a fight as well. They'd wanted to deal with a corrupt just as much as he wanted to deal with them. Neither wanting someone of such a rank to continue breathing, because at their level they became a threat on a battle field, it wasn't good to let the other continue to live. The result of this was bloody and physically taxing as they'd gone from using magic to punching and kicking, neither one willing to give in to the other, they were both sweaty and bloody with Miyamoto spitting blood on the ground from a punch to the face. His jaw throbbed, potentially bruised already, with a busted lip that was bloodied.
The knight was in similar condition and both were starting to lose strength. It was that knights weapon, a long pole weapon, which had been keeping him at such a distance. He couldn't get in close enough and by now they were both slowing. Teleporting had been used before, when they'd both had more than enough energy, and the knight had turned fast enough to knock him back each time.
He wasn't going to back down and he sure as ******** wasn't calling for help. He'd sooner chew busted glass and wash it down with a glass of bleach. He would not call for help especially from some team; he wasn't asking someone to hold his hand on this s**t. He had handled himself for over a year now and done just fine - he had his wings. He'd earned them well enough he figured.
That alone, that driving force and need to rebel, had him gritting his teeth as an idea struck him. He could, if he played it right, run at the knight and knock them both off the roof top. He had enough energy to teleport himself to safety but he'd just need to get the knight to let him go, as he was certai nthe knight would grasp at him. He could bite them, he had the fangs to do so, or grab them between the legs and squeeze as hard as possible. Either way he could force them to let him go; he'd have to. It was an idea which would put an end to this; however bloody it might be.
As he considered this, breathign ragged and mentally prepairing for it, he felt a chaos signature not too far off. A captain his mind supplied. Lovely, they'd get to see this show when he finally made his move on the knight.

The signature was there, another rooftop over. A dark figure with long hair that whipped in the wind of last summer. The air was strange, warm with the cocktail of burnt roof-tar and the rumble of generators behind him.
But what he saw was a delight. Two sides tangled in the cusp of death, battling with the reality of their own mortality and sense of duty. A question that said if any of it was worth throwing everything they had into a moment that could end in only one victor - or maybe them both dying just to prove a point.
That if no one could win, at least take the other one out on your way to hell.
And there he moved to the lip of the roof, eyes brightly glowing under a ragged wilderness of black hair.
A reminder that no matter where on the planets you went, the narration to their story that they all were tied into was ongoing.

The captain was close, oh so close, and he could have called for help and he knew it but he didn't. He refrained from calling for help because he didn't need or want it. This was his fight and as the chill air about him hung heavy, keeping him from over heating, the dark haired senshi had finally decided to make his move. It was the one option he had, as far as he saw it anyway, and he took off for the knight and forced their body back and into the ledge of the roof. Pushing, forcing his body to over balance the knight, they went over the roofs ledge and towards the ground. It was in that instant that he bite down on their neck and shoulder area.
The fangs he had, bonded and strong, sunk in and drew blood as the knight cried out and tried to get him off. In that moment they let go of him and now both were going to fall unless he could get his mind to focus enough to teleport. That had seemed easier in his mind than it was in action. One of those easier said than done things - ******** it.

Catching anything falling was rough. He didn't care for the knight as far as the fact that splattering them too quickly meant their starseed was gone. Returning to The Cauldron was second best for any officer but dead was still good on the books. But as he noticed the other shove their weight in, the moment of realization flooded him.
Why the old boy was doing well for himself and certainly not dead. That was good news and here he swelled with a moment of selfish pride in seeing them not only alive, but willing to beat themselves near death to kill. All was good up to the point of throwing themselves overboard. A trade but one he didn't think was all that fair. Miyamoto was worth a few knights at least to make the exchange even.
Not fatigued from battle, he teleported down to a ledge further down and used that to grab the fighting bundle, of which jerked him down with them. The captain used the downward motion to spin and throw them sideways to a neighboring awning of a storefront. It wouldn't grant them a soft landing but it would keep it from being a fatal one for them both.
As the pair went to the awning, Wolframite kept his own decent and landed, a much small distance taken than the pair above. There he moved to head under the awning to catch them if they tumbled off the edge down below.

He wasn't expecting what happened, how could he? He was hoping he'd have enough time to teleport and get himself out of this posistion. He had not expected the lack of focus, which was needed, and he was certain he was going to die along with the ******** knight. They had pulled back but not as much as he'd thought they would, his bite had gotten the reaction he wanted but not strong enough.
Someone grabbing him, and th eknight, and being thrown was not expected and he landed against the fabric awning with a rush of air being knocked him his lungs and it was a lazy slide that had him rolling off the fabric and towards someones waiting arms. "********." And ******** that knight as well.
Speaking of the knight he turned his heated glare onto them, despite ebing in someones very large arms, and punched them. "******** you. You should have just ******** died like you were supposed to." Yup, he was not pleased at all and had found just enough energy to punch them, because ******** them and ******** whatever planet they had come from and whoever their royal was - ******** all of it.
Laying there limp, he reached up to his face, wiping at his busted lip. "******** fish lips." Looks like he'd been injected with a lip filler with how bruised and swollen they were. ******** this knight, he did not need the s**t his co-workers would give him tomorrow. The knight was breathing hard, he could hear it, and it just angered him more but at least he could feel the captain here an dhe hoped they'd finish the job and take this knight out. They needed to die, especially for not dieing on the pavement like they should have. Stubborn damn thing.
"Just let us down and finish that knight, they need to die." And he was fairly certain the knight couldn't put up a fight, and he was certain his legs weren't going to hold him up much longer/ He didn't have enough to finish this knight, not after that fall and the landing. He'd thrown all his eggs into a basket with that fall over the ledge; and it had failed.

The jostling about while Miyamoto continued to whale on the knight was hard to balance but his arms had enough grip. At the command, he smiled and adjusted his arms to slide around the senshi before dropping the knight to the ground with a painful groan from the order member. They were still alive, that was for sure. To ensure they wouldn't do any funny business out of desperation, he gave them a hard stomp to their head to keep them down. Not dead, but not moving either.
Holding the other, he smiled and moved back some of the long, unkept hair. "Your fight. Your prize. Finish the job." He said, and cradling the other, he slowly lowered them down next to the knight, letting them use his own knees as a sort of chair.
Reaching down, he lifted up the knight to be closer the corrupt senshi and held them there in arm's reach.
The bite mark was exposed, making the half-youma fixate on the mark. It said MINE to him in all capitals - off limits.
This was Miyamoto's meal. Not anyone else, and especially not his.

The help, and there was a lot of it, was appreciated he he let his weight rest on the others knees. Familiar features had his attention for a moment, a smile coming across his features. Wolframite - he was back. He'd been saved once again by the Captain. It seemed the other was just going to keep saving him; and he was ok with it.
Nodding his head he turned back to the knight as they were lifted to a height where he could reach them. Reaching out with one hand, the other hand drawing his sleeve back, he reached for what he wanted. Rather than snapping a neck, which he could try and do, he went right for the starseed. It wasn't hard to get, not when the knight was being held in place so nicely, and any sound the knight made was ignored by the eternal.
As the starseed was removed he offered it to the other. "Looks like you've returned and I've got a prize for you." Since the other was part youma he was certain they did eat starseeds; so why not offer it?
"For the save, and to keep this one from being reborn." Because that was not something he fancied happening. Once dead they should not be permitted rebirth.
"You look like you just crawled out of a cave in the woods." He didn't have a clue how right he was about that statement, but it was all he could think of really. "I stayed, and I got promoted even." he'd stuck around because he was loyhal and because Wolframite had brought him in gently and not forced it. He'd stayed because of the other, whether he knew it or not, even when the other was gone he'd remained and gone on missions and continued to serve.
Now Wolframite was back.

His eyes glowed as he watched the hand sink into the chest a d with that tug of resistance, like snapping an apple off a branch, it came loose and free to the outside air. A flowing gem that shimmered with its own faint glow and warm - a crystalization of magic, life, and being. The essence of a person condensed into a rock candy.
In their hand, Miya offered him the gem and they stated at it for a long moment. They knew the taste fondly a d a part of his brain rock with wild, youma thoughts, wanted to devour it in one moment. To feel it shattered beneath eager canines and let all of what this knight was and would ever be burn into his insides. A rich history to shatter and melt like molten stars into the very core of all that he was.
But he instead took a Shakey, steeling breath and dropped the knight where they were, their uniform dissolving to that of just a man. Then he curled Miyamoto's hand around the gem, confirming it as the senshi's prize and to keep his own hunger from seeing it any longer. There his claws slid to gently grip the wrist that held the stone, knuckles raw from punching and bloodied more from wiping his busted lip, and he leaned in to lap up the metallic moisture greedily with a few swipes of his tongue. Satisfied, he leaned back and slowly sat down, his knees no longer able or wanting to support the senshi this way and now being a cushion for the man than a standing chair.
With the other in his lap, he breathed out and leaned back, releasing the wrist.
"That's your win. But thanks for the treat." He said.
He thought for a long moment, kicked his lips thoughtfully and decided. "Wanna get a steak?"

His cheeks felt warm, as did the tips of his point little ears, as he sat nowin the others lap. His prize, a starseed from a knight, held firmly in his hand. He would keep this, this was his and not anyone elses, he'd put it in a jar and keep it at home. He wasn't going to let it move on and be reborn, one day he might destroy it, but for now he wanted to keep it. He wanted to remember this kill, it had felt good.
Laughing softly the dark eyes eternal nodded his head as he leaned into the solid form of the captain. "Dinner would be nice, are we eating out or at your place?" Because if they were eating out he surely looked a mess, and people would stare, not that he gave a ******** really. But he didn't need questions, or worries and concerns, licking his bottom lip and savoring the feel there he found himself petting one of the others ears.
"Your hair is a mess..." Shaking his head. He couldn't find the words to say. he'd missed the other, the one who had brought him in and gave him comfort and assured him he was doing the right thing. Who had provided him information when no one else had, who had been honest and not fed him lies and nonsense. It had been so long what could he say? He was sure the other had been gone for a good reason, it was why he didn't ask, he trusted in the other that much. If he hadn't trusted Wolframite he'd have not taken the others mark all that time ago.
"Remind me...there is a conveyor belt sushi place which offers raw beef on rice. I'll treat you at some point. I owe you for that catch." He owed the other for a lot, more than the other thought or knew, but that was alright. He was, for now, also surprised he wasn't being scolded for diving off a roof top. Shifting around he climbed to his feet slowly, the chill air and frost still hung about him as the passive magic he posessed worked. "I got my wings while you were gone.."

The ear touch only caused them to flicker, but it didn't last long. Too much and he was liable to pull Miyamoto away.
"We can order online. Quickly pick up. Go to my home." He said as he thought getting Laven dinner would be a nice gesture.
"Let's see...." He leaned around Miya and dragged the body near him, but the small pockets were a struggle to dig into. With a ripping of denim, he managed to grab the wallet. Taking money made this all look like a mugging gone wrong anyways.
ID - tossed.
Movie rewards card - tossed.
Pictures of friends or family - tossed.
Picture of a dog - tossed.
Credit cards - too risky - tossed.
$40 bucks - that was something at least. It was harder and harder to find money on people these days. So many used digital or cards. Eyeing the man over, he pulled off a ring and looked it over. "Plastic." He tossed it to the ground in disappointment.
With the senshi up, Wolframite rose up to his feet and put a large clawed hand around the senshi's throat firmly.
"You risked too much. Kick them off. Don't go with em. You are worth more alive than taking out one knight. Don't martyr yourself for just this." And he nudged the body beside them. "Take out a army or don't bother." He said as he released his grip.
"I hope you aren't trying to kill yourself like that these days."
He picked up the body and looked around. Was the river still a decent place? Did they finish construction yet on that parking lot near the docks or could he hide it down some pit and let it all be filled with cement?
"Sushi sounds good."

"Ok, we can do that." It sounded good to him, and it seemed they had money now for that food, as he watched Wolframite fleece the dead knight of whatever money they'd had on them. It wasn't so easy to get money from people now, he was sure of it, since most people used cards now to pay for things; or apple pay.
At least they had some money, and he had money if need be, once he powered down though he wasn't planning to do that just yet. Watching the ring get tossed he almost smiled but it was interupted by a hand about his neck, a very large and certainly not human hand. "No, I'm not trying to kill myself, just them. I didn't have enough energy to do much else and I'd exhausted my magic fully." That knight had done the same thing though, they'd been even enough in that respect.
"I don't have the endurance for a long drawn out fight like that." And so he'd gone for the last ditch effort to taking the knight out. "I was hoping I could teleport one more time and make it up in time. I couldn't focus enough on it." That was the hitch in his plan though. He'd assuemd he could do it...till he tried.
"You want to pick the place or shall I?" He questioned looking down at the other. "Because you're gonna have to teleport us there...I'm not sure I can manage myself and someone else." And he was figuring the other had a small first aid kit at his home, which Miyamoto was hoping to put to good use.

"Hmm. Let me hide this, then we can power down and walk to a place. I do not know where. I usually use the phone." He said, adjusting the body on his shoulders. Fine a place on the roof above. I'll take care of this and come back." He wanted to avoid teleporting too much if he could since he still had to go back home. While he could do this more easily than most, he wasn't a general and was still limited.
"You should know your energy limit by now. If you can't escape, then leave. If you are out, then assess that you are too much at risk. If they had a bit more magic, something g they were saving for their last act of desperation like you, the tables would have turned. " And to this he poked a sharp claw I to the man's side.
"It's not a failure to live. Winning can feel great but it's not worth it with everything to risk. This one wasn't." He scolded as he turned.
"Find a place that does pickup. We can go in and grab ours to go. Then we go to my place. You need patched up." He pointed out before he leapt up to the roof and away.

"The eternal thing is new, so I'm not sure on the limit with that. But it's more the physical endurance." He could handle a fight but it needed to be quick, he wasn't much for keeping it up for a long time, this fight had gone on for far too long for him.
Shifting away fro mthe claw, not that he was able to avoid it, he wasn't surprised by the other scolding him. It had happened before though that had been a long time ago, so much had happened since then, but he still remembered it. Shaking his head as the other left, to handle the body, Miyamoto took the time to make sure he was safe before stepping away and finding a hiding spot so he could power down and grab his cell phone.
A quick look up on grub hub had him ordering a few rolls, sashimi, soup, and some other things. He'd pay with his card, his account was linked anyway, and he didn't mind covering for dinner. The other had just saved him and had returned from wherever he'd been. The question was...did he get anything to drink with the food?
A quick click and he added something to drink to the cart and moved to pay for the food. That done he wondered if he shoiuld power back up so the other could find him, even though he was fairly certain the other could sniff him out anyway.

Wolframite was well enough to hide the body somewhere less visited, but so much of the city had changed that a lot of their usual spots were now blocked off, completed, or changed businesses to no longer make a good spot. He'd have to scout for a week to find new places. For now, they placed them in a dumpster and put them between two dumpsters slumped against the wall.
It took a while to come back as he still needed to teleport home, and as he did, he powered down a few blocked before arriving. With that, he then glamoured up to look normal to the average passerby. He was dressed in plain jeans, sneakers, and a t-shirt. He pulled back his long hair into one of Laven's pony tail bands and looked around before spotting the other.
"Did you get steak?" He asked.

"Of course, steak, fish and more." He figured he didn't mind splurging this one time, since normally he was more careful with his money. Taking a moment to look the other over he nodded his head once. His own hair was shorter, it certainly didn't drag the ground. It was shoulder length and parted so some of his hair was tied up while the lower half of his hair was left loose. The part he had tied back was pulled into a bun and secured by a silver hair pin fashioned to look like a dagger - handle and all. It might even be useable to stab someone with.
Dressed in dark colored jeans, and short sleeve shirt, he didn't care that the sleeve of ink he had was on display. He didn't show it most of the time, he didn't like dealing with people staring or commenting, but it was still summer and he wasn't about to kill himself from heatstroke.
"The place is near by and I'll get a ping on my phone when it's done. The walk isn't too far and the food is good." He wasn't about to mention price, but it was on him anyway. Another look over the other, very different than he expected; but not bad. "Not bad looking. You don't look as intimidating" But he knew the other was far more intimidating, and dangerous, than he looked.
"When we get to your place do you need, or want, a spark notes version of what you've missed?" He might as well offer, especially since Wolframite had been gone for a long time. He had surely missed a lot of what had happened especially the troubling recent things, order should not have so many new royals. This war was not going to be so easy with that many running around and new knights.
