After the flash faded, Emperor was blinded by rage. 

He felt his Onis getting attacked by an invisible foe, he knew this had to be the work of a Nomad. He loudly growled as he faced the woman who had attacked them before. A tall, blue-haired, woman, that was just brimming with ki. It will do nothing to save her. Daichi raised his giant mace up into the air, and swung it around in a circle above his head. With every loop it made, it was surrounded in a thick coat of electricity. Once it was completely surrounded, Daichi quickly launched it directly at Verga.

"My Onis, eliminate the humans!" Daichi shouted as his team of Onis immediately launched themselves at the Nomads. Though, he had one word for Jill. "Justice Rider Clan, eliminate the blue-haired woman and maybe I'll let you survive to warn the other humans!" He growled.

But, there was something on his mind... [i]Where is Aiko?[/i] He thought to himself.

"Oi, noodleman!"

The gruntled Yoko sat upon a man's food cart, with her legs folded, and holding a bowl of noodles in hand while her staff was leaned upon the cart. She was wearing her traditional Hatanaka gi, with consisted of a leotard with no pants, and a gi jacket. Leaving her legs exposed, but she had an annoyed look on her face. As she stared at the terrified cook.

"You gave me burnt noodles! What? Do I look like some dumb bimbo to you!?" Yoko said as she grabbed her staff. "Give me my money back!" She pointed it at him, with her lips poked out.

"Hey! No need to get violent, Ms. Hatanaka!" The carter said, "I'll cook you up a new batch-"

"Oi, no! I want my money back! I need to get to the tournament!" Yoko said as she gave the man an annoyed look, before she poked him with it.

"Don't hit me with that stick again!"

"It's no stick, it's a staff!"

Right then, the huge rainfall picked up, and Yoko looked up. "Oi... nobody said anything about any [i]rain.[/i]" She said, scratching the side of her head as she looked around the crowded streets. She looked at the stadium that was in the distance. She raised an eyebrow when she noticed the rain swirling around the huge building, and then went, "Oh, no."

The building was being torn to pieces by a sudden hurricane. Yoko hopped off the cart, and broke off into a sprint towards the building. She knew what was going on... she could feel [i]their[/i] ki. She could feel the evil presence of the Onis. She never knew that she would encounter the evil beings now of all time, but she was trained all of her life to face them. This was what she lived for... protecting-

During her sprint, she bumped into someone, and stopped as she looked at the person. 

It took her a moment to realize just [i]who[/i] it was, before she knew it, she was being launched through the air, right into a wall. She was quick to react, and "landed" on the wall, before hopping off. Facing her opponent with little pain, she realized just who she was fighting. 

[i]Her first encounter with an Oni.[/i]

Almost having the shape of a human girl.[/url] The pointed ears, horn, and eyes said it all. The demon wore clothes that was a mixture of traditional Oni attire she was told about, and a modern attire. The demoness wore a gi - but her gi jacket was wrapped around her waist, revealing her sports bra that was somewhat concealed by the red beads around her neck.

"So, you're the Hatanaka," The Oni said as she played with the beads around her neck, walking towards Yoko. "Wasn't that hard finding ya'." She crossed her arms.

"Evil spirit!" Yoko loudly shouted. "I must vanquish you!"

"Yeah, yeah, that truth and justice crap," The Oni said, "I wanna know something." She said as she circled Yoko, whom had dropped into a stance, and kept her staff pointed at her at all times.

"I know you lost the sword and all..." She trailed off. "Your punk ass father couldn't-"

The instant the Oni mentioned Yoko's father, the girl lunged at her, jabbing her staff forward - but, the Oni used her superior reflexes to grab the iron club on her back and block. The two were locked in a contest of strength, Aiko's raw brutish power, against Yoko's elegant strength, pushing against each other.

"Don't [i]ever[/i] speak of my father!" 

"Oh... hit a sore spot, right?" Aiko said as she raised an eyebrow at the girl. She parried the staff, and Yoko took a few steps back. "But, I wish to speak with my grandfather... and possibly return his soul to my father..."

Yoko pursed her lips.

"That'll never happen!" Yoko said as she jabbed at the Oni again, only for the demoness to sidestep. "Not as long as I'm standing."

"... But, you don't know even where the sword [i]is,[/i]" The Oni said in an annoyed tone, as she pushed the staff to the side. "And you're not even [i]trying[/i] to look for it! So shut up."

She swung the iron club, and hit Yoko across the jaw with it, and sent her flying backwards, she quickly walked forward, before saying, "Even if I can't bring my father back the sword, maybe killing you will bring his little revenge-quest to an end..."

She raised her iron club up into the air, and tried to bring it down on Yoko, but the girl quickly deflected the attack with her staff, and used the other end of the staff to watch the grey-skinned girl in the ribs. Pushing her away as Yoko made a full movement and whacked her in the head with the other end. Knocking the demoness over.

"What... are you talking about, demon?" Yoko said as she stayed in position and allowed the Oni to get up, doing one quick jab to hit her in the face with her staff. And the Oni faded away into shadows for a moment, before reappearing a distance away. 

"A few young Oni were killed a few days ago," she answered as she raised her club up into the air, and called down a bolt of lightning that empowered it. "and my father intends to repay humanity by killing a million humans..."

She slung her iron club over her shoulder, as she said, "... I want to stop him, before it is too late."
