"We are closing in on him.." the lead of the group of the GCC said. One of the squad men shivered immensely. "N-no... I can't...." he whispers, the quinique in his hands shaking. "Calm down or your going to get you and all of us killed..!" another man said, holding the man's shoulders and trying to calm him down.
The terrified man pushes him off and runs, screaming. The squad looked back at him running, until a speeding shape took him away.  "IT'S A GHOUL!" one of them shout and that causes lots of chatter between them. "Stop your chatter and look for the ghoul." the leader said. "We each have our quadrant to search so me meet back here after all searching has been done." he orders. "Sir!" they all say in unison before splitting up.

Minutes passed and the commander meet back at the position, but no one came back. He waited and waited until someone came crawling back, bleeding. "Commander... Run... He's..." before he could finish, he was pulled away and screaming could be heard. The commander widened his eyes as he got in his fighting stance.
A dark figure walks out, saying "145..." The figure turns and walks into the light and his face had a mask which resembles half a Leopard and half a skull of a Leopard. "Sorry about your crew.... I was a little hungry." he wipes his mouth, dripping blood and a black and white arm and wing coming into view. "You're Ryan Echizen, the Winged Panther!" The commander shouts. "Hmm... I like the name..." Ryan smirks as he responds.

The commander swings at him with his quinique, but the attack was deflected by the half ghoul's arm. He was swinging thrice the speed because of the three bladed quinique, but Ryan blocked it all with his arm. The quinique on his arm quickly moved to his wing which striked the commander powerfully, but he blocked it. The commander fell backwards a couple of feet because of impact. "I-I have to get stronger..." the commander says. He grabs something out of his pocket and throws them onto the ground. Smoke appeared everywhere, but Ryan couldn't let him escape. Ryan ran at him, his wings shooting slow, but strong bullets, but the leader disappeared.

"Damn it..." he says, walking into an alley and taking off his mask. He lies down on a beat up mattress, looking at his arm, now bruised. "he is powerful..." he whispers, slipping his mask off his face and wearing it like a bandana. Ryan then heard a girly giggle. He looked around to find no one. Then he looked at his mattress to find a girl with nine tails was sitting right next to where he was laying. "the great and powerful Winged Panther lives in a dump?" she laughs hysterically. Ryan hops up on his feet, his quinique rushing down his arms, but he shouts in pain. He quickly changes to it to his wing, holding his bruised up right arm right. "Who... The hell... Are you...?" he asks the girl with white hair.
The girl giggles, tilting her head and her kitsune ears coming into place. It looked like the ears were materialized like it was made of a ghost spirit. She had a kitsune mask on like the ones they had in festivals in Tokyo. "I don't really want to fight, but if you want me to, then..." she stands up as a gravitational force  made him fall to his knees. He got up slowly, working against it. "... That's fine with me!" she shouts, her quinique (which were 9 kitsune tails) coming into view. "Is this how.. Powerful she is..?" Ryan whispers to himself.
