[Semi-Open] A fresh set of scales.

[how_vexing]

Hands deep in his coat pockets. Brows furrowed.

"How...vexing" He'd murmur. "Are you certian about this?" They had been walking for hours. Monsters have been in and out of sight. Venosnaker becoming restless as well as his other two contact beasts.

Comments

[clockupgatack]

"You should get out of here" this would be their only warning.

"There's nothing here for you, or for anyone" He'd state. A half-truth. He and his allies had indeed taken out the Shocker Troops, but the area seemed impossible to enter no matter how much they tried.

[destclaw]

"Why let them escape. They're both criminals"

He stepped forward, eyes still focused on the girl. "I'll take both of you down"

His deck in hand, he would flash it to his reflection in a nearby puddle. His black belt appearing.
"𝘏𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯" sliding the deck into the belt slot. His armor appearing with a gleam.

[clumsynurse]

"W-wait!" Jerking back when Takeshi grabbed her. "Criminal?! But we-!"

Once Tiger transformed, she summons her syringe, bringing it up before her with widened eyes.

[how_vexing]

"Bastard!" Taking advantage of the glass syringe he'd flash his deck. His belt set on his waist.

"𝑯𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏!" A flash and he's clad in his purple armor with his scepter in hand. Rolling his neck, he'd slip a card into the scepter's slot.

𝑺𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕. His spiral saber now in hand, charing at Tiger

[kicksoffdragreder]

"Wait!" A grimace before he too would transform.

"Henshin!" A gleam of red and his Dragon motif armor was set on his body.

"Wait a minute, Tojo!" Yelling as Asakura rushed in.

🐉Strike Vent🐉 calling his dragon-head gauntlet onto his hand and running over in hopes to meet Asakura in the middle, the gauntlet up to block his blade.

[clockupgatack]

Knowing this was going to get ugly fast, he reaches for the buzzing zector and slides it into his belt.

"Henshin!"

🪲𝑯𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏. 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆, 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒍𝒆🪲

A push on the beetles horns to shed the bulky armor early
"Cast off!"

🪲𝑪𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒇𝒇!🪲 the armor sent flying toward Ouja and Compa

[destclaw]

Slipping a card into his slot.

𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵

Massive claws now over his gloves. He'd take advantage of Ryuki taking the brunt of the first blow from Ouja and come to slash at his side, bringing them both down against him

[clumsynurse]

Several pieces of Gatack's armor sent her to the ground, her syringe sails into the air before hitting the ground, firing a bright pink beam toward the attacking Riders.

[how_vexing]

A grunt, the flying armor and the strike from Tiger infuriated him as his saber was stuck in the jaw of Ryuki's gauntlet at the moment.

"Compa!" Gritting his teeth, he aims a headbutt at Kido, pulling his blade free to spin and slice at Tiger.

[kicksoffdragreder]

"Guh-" the headbutt sent him backward as well as the beam from Compa. He pants and issues a fireball from the gauntlet Ouja's way.

[clockupgatack]

A high kick coming in toward the purple rider once Ryuki stumbled away.

He wanted to keep the pressure on Ouja, hoping for a quick defeat on his end.

[destclaw]

Claws come against the blade, sparks flying around them.

"I know how you keep worming your way out of your deserving end, I'll cut that out of the equation..." a jab at his midsection before turning his attention to Compa

[clumsynurse]

Rolling to grab her weapon, pressingbthe stopper and firing to shield her partner. The purple rider encased temporarily in a thin shield.

[how_vexing]

"All of you are going to DIE!"

The kick from the beetle rider scooted him. Tiger's jab would send him to a knee before Compa's shield gave him a moment to slide in a card to gain Evildiver's tail whip, launching it at Gatack to trip him up

[kicksoffdragreder]

Hopping up and running to deliver a sliding kick despite the shield over Ouja.

"Ack!" Rolling over with a pant. "B-bad timing...ah. ah..."

[clockupgatack]

?! Falls on his back from the whip strike before recovering and coming in close with fast handed jabs

[destclaw]

Breaking away from Ouja, as Gatack and Ryuki had him occupied. He could turn his attention to the nurse, as she was the key to the killer's vitality in battle.

Gleaming claws come at her with rapid strikes and slashes

[clumsynurse]

!!
Compa bringing up her own weapon to block. The thick glass giving a resounding noise as his claws hit it over and over.

"P-please! We didn't mean any harm!" Compa's attempt to be genuine, waiting for a moment to jab Tiger with the glinting needle

[how_vexing]

He crashed to the ground, reeling the whip back and sending back toward the Red and Blue riders.

"Don't reason with them. Fight!" He'd yell at her. He had to keep focus or they could very well not make it out of here. He wasn't one for defeat or having his partner share in that sentiment.

Grasping for Metalgelas' card to someone the large rhinoceros monster to charge at Ryuki.

[kicksoffdragreder]

?! As the large beast appeared he backs up, his blade now in hand to slice at the tough skinned monster and spinning once it charges him.

He glances to Tiger and Compa before calling over to them "Don't hurt her! If you want to punish anyone, it's him!" In hopes to draw him away. His distraction however prompts him to become launched by the mirror beast! "Waaaaah!"

[clockupgatack]

A hunch as the whip sparks off his chest armor. The barbs really packed a punch...

Once Ouja was on the ground, he aims a kick at his abdomen and chest with a speedy leg

[destclaw]

"She's just as guilty..." a wide slash to the left, then setting both armed claws in front of him and driving them forward against the syringe to try to knock her off balance again.

"Condoning his actions and keeping him alive and unharmed makes her just as bad!"

[clumsynurse]

!!
His swipe opens up a gash in her side, causing his push to send her to the ground. The glass of the syringe cracking under his force.

"H-He's not bad! He's a hero!" Compa moving to push herself up back to her feet. "My hero!" The liquid in the glass glows and shifts colors to a murky green. She fires several blasts at Tiger and runs at him with the sharp needlepoint.

[how_vexing]

"He's a coward! Always has been-!"
Gatack's kicks were met with some of his own while he jeers at Tiger.

He should be somewhat grateful for Kido trying to stop the fight between Tiger and Compa. But considering the present circumstances...

𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵
A rhinoceros shaped gauntlet would form on his fist as he began a more heavier assault on the beetle rider, smirking at Compa's protests.

[destclaw]

𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒛𝒆 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒕

After he was flung back by the beams, he froze the nurse in place, taking a moment to recover. Another card to slip into his reader...

𝑭𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑽𝒆𝒏𝒕

Summoning Deatwilder to break through the ice to grab hold of her, dragging her along the ground with enough force it leaves a deep indent in the earth. He prepares his claws with hunched shoulders.
