Erika blinked twice as she heard Neku call out. "Um...maybe? I don't know. Am I supposed to keep track of everything I destroy or something? Oh wait, yeah, I am. Eye of Truth can do that, right. Let's see what records it's got...cross-check...verify...hm."Shrugging slightly, the witch let out another giggle. "Well, I'll just leave the answer to that as a firm 'maybe'. If you manage to corner me, I might consider answering, but given you got that beaten up from a low-level Kishin Egg, you'll have to do one hell of a training montage before you're at that level, eh?"

"What, this..? Don't make me laugh...it'll take a lot more than this to take me out." Neku says. He begins walking toward her, utilizing Soul Menace as he attempts to corner her fully. "As far as I'm concerned, you're already cornered...so tell me right here, right now...did you or did you not kill everyone I held dear!?" Neku says, his eyes simutaneously displaying his intentions of revenge and hunger for power as he looked at Erika.

I look at you, concerned. "Hey, you OK man?" I ask. "Look, I really am sorry, I didn't even know I was doing that... One minute I'm watching Sark's YouTube vids, the next I'm waking up this morning..."

"You don't have to give me that story. I already back-tracked and read what you told Kishin..." I continue to say with a shaky voice, not even bothering to look you nor Amie in the eyes.

Mason's eyes scanned over them and she then picked up a khopesh

"Hm..this'll be interesting." Booker remarks as he readies to spar again.

*I take Amie's hand off my mouth* Hey Ven, sorry for how I was acting last night... It wasn't me, y'know? *I then look back at Amie* Amie-chan xD

"...There are no words to describe how I feel about that incident as of now...." I simply say, my voice a bit shaky.

"Anyone remember how to say 'good morning' in Japanese? Something like 'oh, hi, yo'. Eh, I don't remember. Why am I trying to say Japanese things anyway? This is Nevada."A distinctly female voice rang out as a girl, appearing as a grade-schooler in stature, stepped out of one of the craters that Fleshmonger had made, still clapping briefly before she stopped. A small curtsy was given to the spectators as she looked forward, a coy grin on her face."Well, at any rate, it's nice to meet all of you."-And her eyes evanescent pools of absolute void."I've gotta say though, I'm kinda disappointed. I mean, I sent those guys with the expectation that you'd trounce them, but there was actually a bit of a struggle. Strug life for days, am I right?""Oh, I'm being rude. Yes, right, sorry, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Erika Schweinborg. I like tropical fruits and eating lunch on the roof. I dislike tomatoes, and petulant weaklings who don't know their place. I'm here to announce the start of a little game. You all like games, right? I'll kill anyone who says they don't."Loosing a slight giggle, the witch tilted her head to the side childishly before going on."Well, 'what are the rules to this wonderful game, Oh Great Erika', you might ask. Allow me to help you out there. See, the goals are simple. Your goal is to kill me. My goal is to kill your god."The air froze as the challenge was laid out. "Time limit's indefinite, as we'll both last forever until killed, so yeah. Best of luck to all of you. Don't call me, I'll call you. If you'd like to schedule a date with me because I'm just adorable, let one of the monsters I send here next time know and I'll try to pencil you in.""Well then, any questions~? If not, I hope you'll understand, but I'll have to be on my way. It's hard work, being me."

Neku dropped to the ground, the damage done to his arm resulting in nearly unbearable pain. He simply let his right arm hang by his side as he looked over at the witch. When the announcement of her taking questions was given, he quickly acted. "Yeah, I've got one...were you the one that destroyed my home?" Neku said, feigning rage. "Her voice sounds familiar...and that laugh...there's no mistaking it...but, I have to know for certain..." He thinks to himself as he waits for an answer, his body shaking slightly due to the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

Suddenly, I appear behind the both of you. "Well, I see you two are in good spirits..."

"Damn it..." Neku muttered as the pain increased in his right arm. "Let go of me!" He then exclaims as he proceeds to jab at the Birdman's legs, hoping to loosen its grip on his arm.

The issue with charging into battle as per Neku's approach was twofold. First, only a fool engages in battle without knowing the opponent's capability. Second, without a conduit for soul energy such as Soul Menace, and without the existence known as a Demon Weapon, a meister was merely a human with decent physical capability, a human which stood at a disadvantage to even the weakest Kishin Egg.To make this matter simpler, the Kishin Eggs will henceforth bear the following names: Fleshmonger, Birdman, and Schwarz. Which name applies to which Egg should be obvious.The double-kick dealt to Fleshmonger's face, quite simply, did little. This was the foolishness of charging in blindly, against such a gargantuan being as he, blunt force would do little. Punches, kicks, weapons such as hammers, his body was designed to take those unflinchingly as if he were made of some demonic variety of sponge.The true folly though was in the instant later.While Fleshmonger was the slow one of the group, both Birdman and Schwarz were blisteringly fast by comparison, and not to mention that both individuals had the time in which they saw Neku kick at Fleshmonger to prepare themselves to react accordingly. It was thus that the second Neku had grabbed the arm of Birdman...-His talons grabbed Neku's arm in turn, sinking into his flesh and rendering his attempted "throw" of Birdman as a useless mistake that only resulted in a wound to Neku's dominant arm.Not stopping there, Birdman refused to let go of his prey and began an animalistic assault upon him. It is theorized that velociraptors used their wings for stability, staying on top of their prey with their hooked claws and tearing them apart alive. This was an apt comparison to Birdman's approach. He was Neku's opponent now, and if the meister intended on surviving he'd focus on one target at a time.Rather than being intelligent and taking a swing at the now-open Neku, Fleshmonger instead moved to lumber up the stairs towards the female who was rapidly texting her partner, taking a bestial swing at her next.And Schwarz? He simply stepped towards the Instructor of the now-shattered group, peering at him with an eyeless gaze for a moment before stepping back, and watching his comrades fight.Such was life for a Projection.

"Damn..should've taken a bit more time to think before I charged in like that...well, guess I don't have a choice now..." Neku quickly utilized Soul Menace with his left hand and attempted to jab at Birdman while he had the chance.

In terms of tactics, power, abilities, in all considerations these Kishin Eggs were replications of what they were in life. This was the power of Erika, as when they were alive she had recorded their data into her mind as an image, and had used that data to recreate them once they no longer existed in the same form as with that image she had recorded.That said, they were still low-level Kishin Eggs. The one to attend to Neku's challenge was the gargantuan fleshmonger, Towering over him, the giant's arm had much more reach than Neku's own and so the giant was the first to punch, its massive appendage aiming for the entirety of the boy before him, and carrying a raw physical force that bordered on the absurd. This was an "earth-shattering blow" meant to utterly pulverize the target.

Neku, having a feeling this giant of a Kishin Egg was going to attack first, planned ahead and hurdled over its fist, planting both feet in its face, hard. This blow was meant to knock out or at least daze his foe to buy him time for the other two. He quickly moved toward his second opponent, jumping off the first Kishin Egg to leap towards the other one, grab it by the arm and toss at the third egg. He then took this moment to back up slightly so that he was out of arm's reach. He knew his speed and limber movements would be hard to keep up with, but they'd catch him eventually. He'd just have to stall until help arrived. "Obviously, this is a test designed by a witch...it would be best to not use Soul Menace, so that I can at least keep one trick hidden up my sleeve.." Neku thought to himself as he returned to a normal fighting stance, appearing calm and level-headed as ever.

"Well, alright then. Go ahead and take your pick. You can even use this one if you'd like." Booker gestures to the numerous amount of blades in the case.
