"..."
But if her bet was wrong, she would essentially be trapping herself, and they would no longer be able to take her word for anything. Nemo's life would be forfeit, and she would be at a tactical disadvantage. If she was fighting to prove that the sects and the rest of humanity could live together, what would it mean if she couldn't even save one normal kid?
The martial artist began her calm walk towards the dome. There was no rush, 9:00 was far enough away. Whatever traps they prepared for her had better be significant, or she would simply slice right through them with a blade that was cold as ice and retrieve that boy who looked up to her.
Perhaps she could be a hero, just this once.
"Disillusioned? I'm not dis-anything! I can see clearly and I can see that you guys are bad as bad gets! You pick on those weaker than you and attack good people! You deserve to be stopped and Yukin's going to-ack!"
Nemo cried out as Rika jabbed him in the neck. This felt absolutely terrifying.
Not being able to move anything, not even his pinky finger. But he couldn't afford to show fear. People like these capitalized on openings like that! They'd see what upset Nemo and they'd keep doing it over and over again, be it until he gave them something useful or just to satisfy their jollies. Nemo had a first hand experience with what got Kouki's rocks off as the red haired man beat the ten year old to a bloody pulp with Nemo unable to do much of anything in resistance.
But the idea of sitting here in pain from his injuries while being at their mercy horrified him. They could have left him here to rot and he'd be unable to lift a finger to stop them. Not that he even could given how easily Kouki had made short work of him. But he had to keep hoping. Hope was the light at the end of the tunnel that all heroes prayed to. Hope is what would get them through tough messes like this. Hope is what resided within every true hero's heart.
He may have been a little kid.
He may have even been scared!
But he was not going to lose hope!
Yukin would be just like the angel from his dream! She'd come in here, take down whoever stood in her way and then when she found him? She'd pick him up in her arms and take him away from this nightmare! He just had to keep being strong not just for her sake, but because The Kid would never be afraid!
But...He hoped Yukin came soon.
~~Tokyo Dome~~
Astaroth soared through the air with the wind blowing past his face. Normally, the sensation would have been greatly welcomed. In the deep caverns of Hell, flying this fast would only leave you gasping for air due to Hell's intense heat and too weak to escape it's grip on you. But here you felt free, capable of going wherever you pleased. That was the rule that Nemo and Astaroth lived by. They'd go wherever they pleased and they'd keep eachother safe.
Though given Nemo's status as a ten year old boy, it was mostly the other way around, something Astaroth took in stride of course. He had seen children as the window into a future that could be much brighter than the peers that surrounded them and claimed to be grown up, yet they were no better than the children they claimed to look over. But he had made a great mistake. He had left Nemo alone and now he was with people that Astaroth had no idea who they were or what their business with that woman was.
But he didn't care one bit. They had his friend and weren't willing to give him up. Which meant he'd have to pry Nemo free. From all of their cold dead hands. Touching down near the Tokyo Dome, Astaroth entered with his tail coiled up and poised to strike in case any enemies tried getting the jump on him.
But much to his surprise? Nobody ever seemed to come. Where was everyone, weren't they supposed to be waiting here? Had that one on the phone simply been jerking them around? Smashing his tail into the ground, Astaroth let out a savage roar. Loud enough to be heard below the stadium as Astaroth tried to calm his mind. He wasn't going to get any closer to Nemo by stomping around in an angry stupor. Focusing his mind, Astaroth's wings began to flap as he picked up some sound.
Though it seemed to be coming from down below the floor! Baring his fangs together, Astaroth's eyes began to glow once more. Was this how they were going to play it? They'd hide under the surface like the cowards that they were with his best friend in tow! Smashing his tail against the ground, Astaroth raised his arms above his head and smashed it down onto the ground. The ground shook and trembled under the demon's mighty blows. Digging his claws deeper and deeper, Astaroth wouldn't stop until he got to where he was hearing all this noise coming from!
"NEMO!!!"
