"So who is Elric?" I ask as Sakara slaps me. She speaks up. "He cosplays and he's won almost every competition he's been too." She says as Zen laughs. "His cosplays cost an arm and a leg." Zen says as Velon shakes his head. "Too soon." Alot of people laugh. I notice a lot of girls swarming around Anix. A lot of children are in awe at Zen's horns. Elric claps a few times. "How would you all like to enter the contest with me?" He asks as we all agree. He leads us to a back area behind curtains. "So go out and show off your outfit and just act like what you're dressed as." Elric says as I sigh. "I'll go first." I mumble as I walk through the curtains. "What's you're name?" The judges ask as I rub my chin. "My name is....Yukira." I say lying. Can't say my real name, might be DHC agents around. I take a deep breath as my wings unfold. Everyone stares blankly before clapping wildly. I quickly flap my wings and blow everyone back a little. I fold my wings and bow then walk back behind the stage. "That was lame." Zen says as he charges to the stage. "I'm Zen Haraku and I'm god damn Satan!" He says as I see a few people in the audience grab a weapon on their hip. I fucking know it. I think as I tap Velons shoulder and points to the agents. Zen screams and summons his black sword. "I'm more dangerous than death itself!" He yells as Sakara laughs. "Actually itself is a herself!" Sakara yells from backstage. Zen glares over his shoulder. "Shut up and stop patronizing me! Don't correct me, I'm Satan!" Zen yells as Velon tackles him and drags him back behind stage. "Mutiny! Let go of me! I'll destroy you all!" Zen yells as he's dragged past us. Velon walks out to the stage after dropping Zen. "I'M HALON." He yells as I face palm. "Good fighter, no creativity." I mumble as Anix pats my back. "Pot calling the kettle black." He says as I shake my head. After Velon comes back Rose walks out. I see everyone in awe of her nature wings. She waves her hand and a sweet aroma floods the stage area. Everyone smiles and cheers loudly as she walks away. Sakara goes up next. "My name is Sakara. I, um, I'm kina nervous. I've never done this before." She says as I see all the guys in the audience start cheering loudly. "Cheer for the cute girl, perfectly legit." Zen says as Rose slaps him. "You saying she's cuter than me?" Rose says as Zen says. "Not directly saying it, buut-" he gets cut off by getting drop kicked. We all laugh as Sakara walks back to us. "So that was, different." Sakara says as I laugh. "Yea, I thought it was odd." I mumble as Elric walks past us. We see him rip off his shirt to reveal body paint that makes it look like he has chunks off flesh missing and holes in his body. He stumbles around stage acting like a zombie. The judges cheer and so do the people as he stumbles off the stage to us. After a few minutes all cosplayers walk in front of the judges. "The winners are: in 3rd place, Zen Haraku!" They say as he smiles and stands on the left side of the stage. "2nd place is, Elric Caver!" They yell as he rubs his chin and stands on the far right of the stage. "First place, goes to Rose!" They yell as everyone cheers. We all clap and smile as she jumps up and down on stage. Suddenly I feel a energy signature appear in the crowd. Everyone jumps on stage and looks around. "You feel it too? It's not massive, but it's definitely a demon." Zen says as we all look around. A guy starts freaking out and scratching and screaming. After a second he catches fire and burns to ash. Several people scream as the ashes swirl around and make a new form. "Oh, just a young demon." Zen says as the creature screams loudly. It grows horns and claws but keeps a humanoid form. Before it moves, Zen appears in front of it and kills it with his bare hand. "No need to fear, Satan is here!" He yells as a silence sweeps over the crowd. After a moment someone looks at all of us. "Wait, they are the guys that have saved the world from different threats. I've seen that blue hair guy several times. And Zen here I've heard of before. The DHC wants them because they say they're dangerous. I don't agree. I think you're helpful." A random bystander says as I smile. I wander back to the main area of the building and look around. Sinclair walks up to me. "Kai, I've gotta get going, something came up." She says then vanishes. I dont think too much of it and continue looking around. I see a lot of different cosplayers and entertainers. I feel the positive energy of everyone here. I smile as I feel a hand touch my back. I turn around and see a girl with long black hair and a hoodie. "Sorry to disturb you, but, are you alone here? Did you come with anyone?" She asks as I smile. "Yea, but right now I'm just wandering around. Why, what's up?" I ask as I see her put her fingertips together nervously. "Would you want to walk together or like, talk some more?" She asks as I smile. "Yea sure, I don't mind." I say as she looks at me blushing. "C-cool, so um, where did you want to go?" She asks as I look around. "Eh, I'm just going to wander around." I say as she nods. "Alright." She says as we start walking away. After a few minutes of awkward silence, she grabs the bottom of my shirt. I stop and look at her. "What's wrong?" I ask as she tightens her grip. "Are you" a awkward silence lingers for a moment. "Single?" She mumbles.
