A splash of scarlet would spread across the walls, as organs and severed limbs would be thrown from marine corpses.. Xylo's hands would be drenched in blood, which would unusually look good with his eyes. He truly adored the human, and his curiosity got the better off him as his hands would delve into a marine corpse's chest cavity, peeling back ribs hearing snaps with each bone broken, whilst he continued his medical research. "It seems his heart was in fact on his right, how unlucky, it seems I struck him so hard on his right side it stopped his heart. How unfortunate, I didn't mean to kill him." Xylo's monologue would be interrupted by Michael waking from his unconscious state.

"Oh my god, my fucking legs. Someone kill me." Michael said calmly, who would be met face to face by Xylo. " Oh but killing you is half the fun. You're so funny Michael." Xylo's words would be followed by his fingers flicking Michael on his forehead. "Apologies about your friend being well, everywhere, however I'll have you know it was for the good of science." his words would be met with Michaels deep sigh as Xylo stood from his crouched position, only to walk to Michael and wipe his bloody hands on his marine attire.

He would then walk to Zeke, listening in on the conversation until getting incredibly bored. Xylo had now given Zeke trust, something he really didn't give out much, so he was happy to go along with Zekes plan with the whole shenanigan, however he would still have to keep his guard up around him, for he truly was a stranger.

Peering in on the words being shared, Xylo would notice Griffin would try to tip off his ally on the other side of the line, which in turn infuriated him, to the point at which Xylo would slowly creep up behind Griffin and extend his arm, grasping a bunch of hair follicles and leaning his head backward so he could see his face. "Another outburst, and I cut your fucking tongue off."

Xylo would gaze into Griffins eyes as he aimed to distill fear, which in turn would make the whole scenario go easier. However It would seem the man was quite strong willed, which was Xylo's favourite kind of captive. His fingers would run slowly downward against Griffins ear, "Yo Zeke, I bet this clown will make me pull out his teeth. And then We'll see who sucks...... So what shall we do now?"

Crimson hued lenses would glare at his accomplice, watching him as he professed his views and the importance of the plan to come. "This? Sick? Oh boy you should see what I can do with an axe, scalpel and matches." A miniscule grin would begin to form as Xylo pondered on his previous endeavours before keeping his emotions in check. "However, I apologise, I shall stick to the point, Mr. Morals." Xylo would respond with cheekily whilst reaching for his pockets looking for cigarettes, only to notice he was out. "Ah shit." Xylo said out of annoyance which was quite unusual to see he was more pissed off about having no cigarettes than getting scowled by Zeke. However, he had a respect for Zeke, and Xylo simply couldn't put his finger on why he did. Soon after Zeke would emerge with the plan, which Xylo seemed to enjoy as a plan like this was sure to be fun. "I guess this Bernard is quite a tough bastard huh? I have no qualms with team fighting, just make sure not to strike me."

A few hours would pass and Xylo would wait patiently at the designated point in which Zeke assigned him to. It would seem Xylo was like his minion, however what kept Xylo to this whole scenario was the fact that the adrenaline from fighting marines was impactful, to the point in which he had never felt more alive. And just like clockwork, as Xylo stood patiently behind a door, Zekes plan came into action as a dozen marines made their way toward the door. Waiting patiently for them to make their way past them, it wouldn't take long for Xylo to get up from his hidden crouched position and wait for Zeke to corner them. A horde of marines would sprint at, whilst one chubby grunt trailed behind, waiting for his moment Xylo would wait until they had all past him before gripping the wrist of the hefty grunt and twisting whilst turbing the mans body so he had a standing rear naked choke position and thus have a hostage meat shield. Xylo's Crimson gaze would meet the trapped marine group as he spoke to them aloud. "Before we go any further, does anyone have a spare ciggy? Anyone? No one? Come on."

His eyes would twitch as he could see the yellow stains across there fingers, so he knew damn well that at least half were smokers, and the chance he had here was too cause some ruckus, without attracting attention or killing any of them, especially.

The swift constant throbbing of the hefty marine heart would be felt the choking arm of Xylo who had his arm tightly clenched against his throat. One of the five marine grunts that had stopped affront Xylo, as the grunt would reach for his case of cigarettes and slide them across to him. "Gentleman this man, has just saved all your lives. However, I must make sure you do not follow me and cause further problems. I salute you all." His arms would let goof the large marine grunt put pushing him forward with his chest only to kick the man into the group of five marine grunts. It was simply like watching bowling, as the man toppled over five marines, which would allow Xylo to swiftly follow striking them all once before they could get up to knock them out unconscious. A deep sigh would escape his lips as he gathered the cigarettes he had been given just previously before lighting it and inhaling. "Time to let loose."

The doors would spring open as Xylo walked to the scene, his crimson hued lenses panning the city expanse only to see Zeke in combat with what probably was 'Bernard.' And it would seem Xylo had begun to analyse the two, which concluded with Bernard's Raw power being bigger than their own combined. But a strange occurrence would begin as Bernard's company would begin to move away, whilst Zeke stood in one place.

It was as if he was unaware to immediate threat, an overwhelming fear of danger was surging through Xylo's mind as he knew damn wel if Zeke was struck by this, it could be all over. It was the feeling of a cat, readying its legs and baring its fangs in preparation to leap upon its Canary prey. Xylo would have to act fast if anything here was to keep alive. Sprinting to his ally, With each step he took, Bernard's sword would be swung by a foot, as Bernard's blade made impact with the ground, only two meters separated him and Zeke, however the ground would begin to tremble, shaking Xylo's body to his core. In a swift move of instinct, he would thrust his right leg off the ground, launching his body toward Zeke. His head would shift toward Bernard, noticing the air compressed blade that would only be a few seconds from tearing them in half.

Reaching Zeke whilst mid air, Xylo would press both legs on his chest and kick outward, thus sending Zeke backward and propelling himself backward, which in turn would allow their bodies to be unphazed by the blade and allow it to pass between them, but just by the skin of their teeth. Xylo's body would smash against the ground before making his way back up to a standing position, whilst his cigarette still sat comfortably in his mouth. "I hope my kick hurt you. Baka."

His gaze would glare upon Bernard as Xylo once again began to speak out to his ally. "I get to keep his body afterward, I like his eyes, it'll look great as a necklace." And then the grin appeared.

Nodding to Zekes apology in acceptance, the sheer force of adrenaline would surge through Xylo's body. Eager to make their objective successful, but at the same time feeling overwhelmed by the whole ordeal. As the cloud of dust consumed the area, Xylo would watch as Zeke sprinted at their opponent. Utilising their smokescreen as it obscured Bernard's view, Xylo would immediately sprint around his opponent whilst keeping his distance in hope of Zeke achieving some sort of advantage. As their plan was to utilise their advantage of their speed, he would make sure he was at Bernard's blind spot to initiate his attack.

Utilizing his momentum, he would then begin sprinting at Bernard from his 7'o clock, emerging from the dust cloud seeing as Bernard fell on one knee to the assault of his partner in crime. Xylo's grin would widen as he saw it, his precious colour, the splashing red that would expel from Bernard's knee. Reassurance that his upcoming strike would connect would begin to swarm through his thoughts as he closed the 10m distance during Bernard's yelp, however Bernard's guard was not left defenceless. "You think I forgot about pipsqueak?" Bernard asked as he swung his broad sword horizontally utilising his pure weight due to his strength being used to keep his leg from being further injured.

"Fuck." Xylo murmured as his plan went to shit, however his chances of dodging Bernard's unscathed were low, and he was left with fewer options as it would be hard to redirect his body due to the aggressive momentum he utilised in his charge. Utilising pure reaction his body would begin to descend backward whilst his legs slid backward allowing his body to slide across the ground which using his speed, would move under the swing blade of Bernard. Unlucky for Xylo, the blade would still connect with his body, but just barely..... As the thick metal sword would tear through the tip of Xylo's chest, and thus peel his skin across his chest in a mere instant.

The sensation of pain would erupt through Xylo's body, however this injury was minor, as it was simply a deeper the unusual graze, thus now having his blade moved away in failure, Xylo would continue to utilise his momentum and thus pull his body up and plant both feet firmly into the ground affront his unguarded opponent.

With both legs in position for a strong assault, his body would relax before swiftly thrusting his right arm forward, whilst pivoting of his front foot and kicking off with his back foot, thus gaining momentum in his strike. His open handed strike would press firmly into Bernard's injured leg, sending the limb to bend unusually and dislocate, having his leg hanging by the mere skin at his knee cap. As Bernard once again screamed in agony, Xylo would notice the hordes of bounty hunter come to their leaders rescue. Xylo once again using his opponents pain to his advantage, would leap upward, pressing his legs against the mans injured thigh sending it into the ground before launching outward, whilst this time his body would launch backward, allowing his body to somersault through the air before landing on his feet five meters away from his Bernard and his allies before slowly walking backward, until reaching Zeke.

"So there goes his mobility. But it looks like he's got protection now. What's next?" Xylo asked as he pondered on their future endeavours in this scenario.

Smoke would expel from Xylo's lips, allowing a grey cloud to simmer affront him. Continuing to analyse the situation, it wouldn't take long for the bounty hunters to begin their assault. It was here where he gazed upon the person they would be attempting to save, this of course, was LA Richards. Whilst they had bluntened Bernard's bite, they still had an army of bounty hunters, each with unique fighting styles which would prove difficult for their completion of saving Richards. His train of thought would be momenarily interrupted by the sound of rapid footsteps directly behind him. His head would turn right using his peripherals to locate the charging bounty hunters I the right if his view, and Bernard to his left, noticing the fact that Bernard had rid himself of his leg and begun his assault once again by throwing his short sword.

Imminent danger was present as the thrown blade made its way toward Xylo's torso whilst he was being chased from behind by a bounty hunter. "What a careless pincer strategy...." Xylo murmured as his smile widened thus consuming his face. Whilst Bernard had thrown his sword utilising his immense strength, Xylo had more time to react compared to his last encounter with Bernard, so as the bounty hunter reached him and threw a flying right hook, Xylo would thrust his legs off the ground, once again somersaulting his body into the air until being completely upside down above the bounty hunter. Xylo's left arm would grasp the shoulder of the bounty hunter, vaguely unbalancing the man, but just enough to hold him for the flying blade to tear through him, blood would splash across Xylo's face as the sword split the man in half, ending his life in a mere instant.

A chuckle would sound from Xylo as he landed between two halves of the dead bounty hunter, but his short victory would come to a halt, as an arrow would pierce his right hip, which previously that day had been shot thus causing an immense pain to shoot through his body. However adrenaline would keep his mind focussed on the task at hand, as his crimson gaze panned at a bowman and two martial artists, who began their charge against Xylo. Why the fuck is the bowman charging.... Xylo thought as he watched the bow draw out a single arrow like sword which he would charge behind the two martial artists. However disarming and countering was Xylo's specialty.

"Udumbara." Xylo murmured as he took his stance to counter his foes attacks, and thus he did as they threw simultaneous kicks in unison which would be intercepted by a weaving, double, open handed strike to their knees which would send their bodies backward toward the sprinting bowman. Setting them all unbalanced Xylo would swiftly sprint to them unleashing silencing open handed strikes to their jaws which would knock each of them out with a single hit. If it weren't for his timing and precision, his assault wouldn't have been effective in the slightest.

However it would seem the battle had simply just begun as the hordes of bounty hunters would emerge upon Zeke and Xylo. Unaware of what Zekes injuries were, Xlo would be reminded of his own as the throbbing sensation of pain would consume his entire right side allowing a trail of blood to glide down his skin.

It was there where four sets of foot steps would sound from his right. All armed with swords which would seem especially difficult for Xylo to deal with. A bead of sweat would trip from his temple as he began to grow wary of the situation. It was clear they needed to deal with Bernard otherwise this fight would never end. In a swift moment of fear Xylo would erupt."Zeke! Let's finish him. You follow!"

Ignoring the horde to his right in hope of his ally taking care of them, Xylo would begin his sprint toward Bernard with only 10m separating the two. His legs would begin to tire, however his speed was still kept in check as he began he closed the distance between Bernard and himself in just a few seconds, however The blade Bernard had previously thrown would spin back into his hand. Thus once again being dual equipped, he would draw both swords to his sides before jerking them forward creating a scissor like motion affront Xylo.

"Finish him."

Xylo whispered as he was in range of Bernard's scissor attack. However Xylo was prepared for the actions of his foe. "Silent blossom." his legs would thrust backward, unleashing and launching body at his 6 in hope of dodging the blades, however he had just managed to escape the attack, as the blades missed his neck by an inch. But now Bernard was left wide open as his force of the blades had disallowed him to take any defensive action.

"Fuck him up Zeke." Was murmured by Xylo as his body fell backward onto the ground.

Standing amazed at the assault before him, Xylo would have no time to watch the end of Zekes attack on Bernard. Sweat would excrete from his pores, which mixed with his cut against his chest, he couldn't help but feel the stinging sensation occur. Overridden in pain, agonised by the events that had taken place throughout the entire day, his immediate action would comprise of his right hand gripping his torn singlet before tearing it off his body, quickly folding it his mind would go straight to his medical knowledge as he fastened the long piece of cloth around the cut around his chest to stop the slight bleeding.

A scream would echo across the city expanse, as bounty and marines alike came charging at Xylo and Zeke which would only one thing..... Zekes assault was successful, his crimson gaze would swiftly pan to his side, only to notice a finishing slice of Zekes sword to allow a spray of blood to cover the area from the mini-Giants head, spraying and coating Xylo's body allowing him to feel his life essence.

Xylo's smile would widen abnormally, as he embraced his body being engulfed by blood, however he would soon go expressionless, as now the task at hand got more medial. Noticing Zeke leaping up to save LA Richards, Xylo would make his way up the stairs, only to notice marines were affront him climging up, unaware of Xylo's knowledge. Sprinting behind them, as they were in his sights to be dispatch, a clear bubble would engulf the top of the gallows, whilst their bodies would be riddled with bullet injuries as they past out. Xylo confused as to what happened, would gaze upon Zeke, noticing his injuries had healed. "What the fuck." Xylo commented as he gazed upon the abnormality before him.

Listening in on their conversation, Xylo would only think that this 'LA' bitch was literally bad news. However her ability was intriguing and her power could be the solution to his mothers illness.

As LA Richards commented on Xylo's tattoos, Xylo would simply light up a cigarette which was stolen from one of the marines which had been laid out just prior to their conversations. Xylo would patiently wait for Zeke to be thrown down to the horde of bounty hunters and marines alike till he replied to her. "Your power is intriguing. But your appearance is nasty. Dirty bitch." Xylo's verbal poke would seem successfully as LA gave him the finger. He would then stand at the edge of the tower before free falling down, whilst his body begun to spin and thus somersault down. Launching his spinning body downward, utilising gravity and momentum, his leg would instantly strike a running bounty hunter when he made his way to the ground, thus propelling the mans body into four marines, thus sending them unbalanced and fallen allowing a small path to open before them.

Standing beside Zeke as he saw him slashing a man with the use of his peripherals, Xylo would exhale a cloud of smoke before speaking out to Zeke. "I guess, you take the lead as usual. I'll be right behind you."
