[i]'What. The. Fuck.'[/i] That was Hinata's train of thought once the red tinged, prehistoric beast crawled out from its hiding spot. Claws and fangs bared to attack. It looked like a tiger, kind of, but it lacked any sort of orange. Plus it was on fire, which was... very odd. Hell, it was even acting like its skin wasn't being burnt to a crisp! And why was the fire [i]red[/i] of all things? The frightened brunet turned his head slightly at his two companions. The swordswoman was pretty strong... She could protect Ami better than he could, no doubt. He directed his gaze to the steps, where the sabertooth and its master stood. After all, he was just dead weight. Not important to anything or anyone in the grand scheme of things. Trembling, he managed to say, "S-Swordswoman... You... You can save Ami, right?" His grip tightened on the pathetic wooden practice sword of his, "Well you... Get her out of here. I'll... I'll hold them off...!" Fortunately it was raining, so nobody could see his sobbing. Though that didn't prevent his voice cracking due to it. Hinata widened his stance and stepped between the tiger and the girls, before readying his 'blade'. "C'mon... Let's play fetch." --- [i]'What. The. Fuck.'[/i] That was [s]Hinata[/s] [i]Leonardo[/i]'s train of thought as the fiery haired, cocky-sounding motherfucker decided to show his face among the mooks gathered around the two agents. He had troops around, perhaps that was why he was weaponless...? No, no, any mafiosi worth their salt would come armed, or have an 'out' to a situation. Which meant that underestimating this guy was a bad idea. Very bad, especially since he came unarmed... "Wait. Don't get too hasty here, Ruby." Leonardo looked around the area, mentally forming a plan of action for himself and his team. While he did maintain a Cloud Flame, he wasn't some raw power fighter like [i]some[/i] people, but tactics more than made up for strength. His nearly-invisible wires spread out around him as he drew and activated his Box Weapon, placing Nest into play. He glanced at a few mooks stepping into the midst of his wires. He could use that... He turned to Kaoru. "So. Who the fuck're you and why should we give a shit?" A single swipe of Leo's hand would entangle the footsoldiers and drag them between himself and the fiery man, making for a quick human shield just in case the guy would attack out of the blue.
