~*(y,n)'s POV*~
     The two lords of hell, ruling over the city. It's not the grand doom of a tropical storm, ushered in by a drumline, but us Hashira.

     I felt the flames of a king glide across my skin the moment they licked over the cobblestone through the streets. He only knew to release his mighty roar once an empress demanded he bow. Everyone felt the surge, I know they had to. I'm sure he's been worrying where I was at, I thought I'd remind him I'm still in the game.

     I lowered my blade from behind me after having my own nape threatened, my opponent dumbfounded and still. My first warning. I have to do this while I'm fresh-- I'm done with this back-and-forth game after that, anyways.

     When you tease a giant, you're bound to get stepped on.

     I would love to keep drawing my cards, but we've gotten far too close to the Mewa's lake. We distracted the twins long enough for some of the ports tobe evacuated, but they're not evading fast enough. If the streets weren't already crowded enough, those boats out there are pure gold for  our enemies.

     I've seen Arashidan's eyes wandering to those black waters, her attempts have been blatant to move the fight closer to fresh kill. If she gets ahold of any 'food', it's going to take a lot longer for us to end this. It already took me so much just to level the playing fields.

     My sleeping comrade hesitated to continue fighting after my threat, blocking off just one more of the woman's attacks and shifting back from me. He can feel the danger, it's overwhelmingly. Where I'm going, he can't come along... Where I'm going, I can't go either, but I must trek the violent storm if I want the town to survive the blizzard.

     "You're not going to stop me, you might've fooled me earlier, but I'm still better!" Arashidan bared her teeth at me in response to my warning shot, not letting me get under her skin when she undoubtedly registered the danger.

     "We'll see about that." I mumbled as the demon charged at me, trading her cleave for a punch towards the center of my sword. I plowed through her attacks like she was nothing more than a training dummy, frustrating her further and freezing the entire street with only two strikes in succession to hers. Agatsuma has relinquished the battlefield for me;' already jumped away to one of the nearby roofs when the ice began to consume his sandals.

     It's starting, and that's not nearly it's full cowl.

     I nodded to the boy before my opponent struck me with an electrical blast, careening me the rest of the way to the water-bound ports. I twisted myself around with just a push, and my feet slid to a stop as the lake froze beneath me. That grand flooring spread from my position as I stood up, claiming the rest of the waters within seconds.

     I looked to the vessels retreating into deeper waters... the boats rocked over the violent waves as gargantuan walls of ice shot up at my command. I watched on as the boats disappeared from over the barriers, returning to my enemy as her sparks flashed through the city towards the docks. She gazed upon the icy challenge when stepping out from the electrified air, contorting her face as she withheld my offer. Her eyes fell onto my stance, and in a fever, she took the first heavy steps across the frozen waters.

     "My job would've been so much easier if you'd died like you were supposed to!! You're so unbearable... everything about you is Everything!!!" The demon screamed at me as she tried to advance my way, shrieking even louder when she had to continue prying off her sandals from the ice. The moment she raised her weapon, I sent another attack at her, colder and stronger than the last. 

     The second warning.

     I looked back to the town at the spree of flames over the building tops, a shooting star flashing in and out of view with it's dangerous beauty. I thank him for getting the message, I'd freeze the whole town without Kyojuro's interference. We're working hand in hand, no matter the distance.
