Capello, Gin, Kimiko, Rabisu

Capello’s head slowly rose from the floor, eyes blearily staring at the phone as it finished it’s final ring and went to voicemail. The fox considered simply going back to sleep, ignoring the call. But it was so rare that he actually GOT calls, curiosity overcame him in the end. Shifting back into his human form, the liar took the phone, still laying on the ground, and hit the voicemail.

“Are you kidding me?! The one time I call you and your phone is off?”

The fox blinked, sitting upright as Kimiko’s voice yelled over the speaker. This was...odd, unexpected, unusual, several other adjectives as Capello listened more intently. There was panic in her voice...and something else in the background.

“I don't know if you'll hear this in time, but I'm near the sushi place in 22nd Street. A rabisu attacked us an-”

The rest of the message was lost as Capello vaulted out of the bar, ripped open a window, and leaped outside, shifting back into demon form halfway through and splintering the frame as he vaulted onto the rooftops, sprinting full tilt as his illusions kept him safe from prying eyes. It would take him a minute tops to reach the location. Hopefully he’d be fast enough.

The Rabisu's snarl turned upwards into a something that could almost be described as a grin as it injured Gin, shrieking laughter as it hopped from side to side.
"Hee hee hee! Tricksy little snackses, using bad fire! Bad snackses! Bad! But snackses lose now. This one thinkses to end our games, yes?" It jeered and mocked them, too busy making its final lunge to notice the gigantic fox demon entering the alley. Capello crouched down, bunching his hind legs as he catapulted himself from the roof top behind the Rabisu with a loud howl, jaws snapping, teeth sinking into the Rabisu’s ankle as the giant fox pulled it back, scraping, against the ground. The Rabisu screamed in pain and panic, struggling to get out of the demon's jaws. The liar wasn’t the strongest combatant, he knew this. Everything he did relied on trickery. But he was still a demon. And he was still tough. Straining his muscles, Capello spun around, grinding the creature against the wall and hurling it across the alleyway, positioning himself in front of the girls. In full demon form, he was the size of a large truck. Blue wisps of energy swirled off his body as he gave a loud snarl, fangs bared.

“No one touches them!”

The Rabisu scrambled to its feet, hissing loudly in fear. It's rough fur on its back was bristling, it's poisoned blood flowing down from its leg and from its mouth.
"F-Filthy Foxes! Getting in this one's way! Move! Half-Yokai snackses are to be eaten! R-Rabisu needs strength! Rabisu last one! Rabisu will not die like others!" it shrieked, becoming more desperate and agitated with every passing second. Capello gave another growl, this thing was like a cornered animal. His mouth felt...numb? But with a strange prickling feeling. It’s blood wasn’t good, he had to make sure to not swallow any of it by accident.

The fox split into three different versions, each one advancing slowly and growling at the vampiric beast.
The Rabisu backed up, taking a deep breath, before giving its terrible screech. The sound waves passed straight through the two false foxes, letting the Rabisu lock in on the third. It lunged forwards, teeth gnashing, sinking it's fangs into Capello's front leg. The fox gave a howl, thrashing and biting downwards at the back of the beast’s neck. It could see through his illusions?! That wasn’t good, that wasn’t good at all. The fox flailed, trying to rip the creature off his front paw, using his much larger size to force it back. Raising his other paw, he slammed it down on the Rabisu’s leg, snapping the bone as he bit down hard and rolled over the monster, forcing it onto the ground. Wrenching his paw free, the fox leaped back, landing closer to the girls, but with a noticeable limp.

Visual illusions wouldn’t work. So...Kimiko’s voice echoed in his head. Rabisu. Blind, or at least mostly. That scream seemed to...of course, it used sound waves. Well, two could play at that. Capello concentrated a moment, then blasted the vampiric creature with illusions of bells and chimes playing all around it. Echolocation was easily removed when the sound was everywhere, confusing and clouding the waves it sended out. The fox leaped onto the wall, bouncing around and giving off loud howls at every interval. Then he made the howl behind it. Above it. Beneath it. Capello’s yelps and yowls were everywhere in the alley. The fox made sure that only those in the alley could hear them, however, trying to minimize the impact on the humans outside. He rushed forward, ignoring the searing pain in his paw. Not just the sting, but a burn. He didn’t recall Rabisu’s being toxic.

The Rabisu's blind eyes went wide with fear, it's ears flattening against its skull. Loud! Too loud! Where, where was it coming from! It couldn't smell, just the harsh, unfamiliar smell of spice filled its nostrils. It yelped and whined, scratching at its nose with its remaining claw, hobbling backwards and dragging its broken wings behind it. It felt a sudden, searing pain on its tail, sunlight! It, it was being pushed back into the sun! It couldn't lunge, could run, it cowered and hissed, the poison in its veins making it harder to breathe, harder to move!

And then, it was struck back by the fox demon, and thrown into the sun. It took the Rabisu a moment to realize where it was, it's fur singing and catching aflame, skin burning and glowing red like embers. It screamed in agony, thrashing weakly.
"No! N-No! This one must live! Must escape! Bad blooded demon, bad blooded demon coming for us all! Monster! Monster with poison!" It shrieked, before throwing its head back in a final death scream as flames erupted from its mouth, incinerating the monster. All that was left was a pile of ash and a few smoldering remains.

Capello breathed heavily, trying to keep the weight off his bitten paw as he maintained the illusion around the Rabisu’s burning form. He gave a slow exhale, calming himself down. The fox was NOT a fighter. That situation could have gone far worse. The Rabisu was weakened, something had put it through the ringer before it attacked the girls, and that was probably the only reason the liar wasn’t in worse shape at the moment. With a flick of his tail, he swept the ashes aside, letting them blow away as he limped back to the girls, slowly shifting back into his human form. Blood ran down his arm and his face had several slashes across it as he gave a smile.

“Well then -ow- I think we should -ouch- have a little discussion about going out alone, yeah? Hehe.”

Bracing himself to avoid showing how lightheaded he was, Capello knelt down, offering a hand to help the Kitsune up, careful to maintain his illusion around the trio. The Rabisu had said something about poison...that explained the sensation when the fox had bitten it and why his gums were still burning slightly. He gave a serious look at both Gin and Kimiko.

“Are either of you hurt? What exactly happened?”
