[color=red][h1]Outside the MON Safehouse[/h1][/color][/center]

[color=red]Kyosuke felt himself being forced out of the car, landing on his butt on the side of the street. He clenched his teeth, screwed his eyes shut and covered his ears.

[i]This can't be happening this can't be happening this can't be happening this can't be happening this can't be happening...[/i]

He felt a slight gust of wind, and when he opened his eyes his field of view was being obstructed by two very large wings attached to a very large, very scary scaly girl. A dragonewt. And she was carrying even more guns with her. Kyosuke's throat dried up as tears began to well up in the corner of his eyes.

[i][b]This can't be happening![/b] I'm just an ordinary college student! [b]This can't be happening![/b][/i]

But before he could even squeak out an "I'm so sorry please don't kill me", she said:[/color]

[quote=@Otaku95]"Kyo-san, I've got you covered," she said over the staccato of gunfire. "Getcher ass inside before my tail decides to help you through the door."[/quote]

[color=red]Kyosuke's eyes widened with joy as his heart rose. She was here to help! She wasn't trying to kill him! Then he felt his heart plummet again as he realized what that meant. She was a part of MON. MON was [i]literally[/i] a group of monster girls. 

He was so, [i]so[/i] fucked. 

Kyosuke did as he was told and scrambled inside, slamming the door behind him and locking it. Like that'd make a bit of difference. They'd just kick it down if they got any closer. All he was safe from in here were the bullets (which admittedly weren't bad things to be safe from).

Against his own better judgment, he pulled aside the window curtains and snuck a peak at the spectacle outside.

Saul backed off, his nose and his gun both broken but not much else. He knew it! He fucking knew this would happen! What did he say?! 

He felt his heart sank as he realized the boss probably knew too. In other words, Boss Kairou didn't give a shit about them. Yeah, it may [i]seem[/i] obvious from the outside lookimg in, but give Saul some credit. How many of [i]you[/i] like to pretend your boss needs you just as much as you need them?

Saul wiped away his tears (and the blood from his broken nose). He didn't have a choice. They wouldn't get him. He wouldn't be taken in alive like Perkins. There was only one thing left for him to do now. Saul patted his back pocket, reaching for his secret weapon. 

Before a single "put your hands where I can see them" could be said, Saul ripped off his own tail and threw it in Usami's face, loudly shouting, "SECRET TECHNIQUE! THROWING-MY-TAIL-AND-RUNNING ATTACK!!!" as he vaulted over the car and bolted for the door. 

[i]I gotta get the kid![/i] Saul thought to himself. He wouldn't make it fifty meters running away from the building. Not with that mosquito training her crosshairs on him. Escape was impossible. But if he got the kid... maybe he could use him as a hostage and run away! 

Nimbly dodging every attempt to grab him with the speed of... well, with the speed of a man who'd just lost his tail, Saul tackled the door and crashed into the laundromat that served as the first floor of the secret MON safehouse. His eyes immediately shot to Kyosuke, who was paralyzed with fear. 

"[i]Gotcha[/i], kid..." he said, his forked tongue flickering out of his mouth.[/color]
