Searching the room for the location of the Voice that spoke to the team. It was surprising to see Leos' reactions. Each has now stopped attacking and began to retreat towards the dark parts of the room. Before fully walking into the shadow out came a figure, a young man not too older than them. The Leos began to prostrate at their master, as he passed the pets to each one. Arriving face to face with Crystal, he introduces himself.
"My name is Kingston, young lady, what is your name?"
[Kingston, with a huge smile and a slight laughter]
"Crystal.."
[Crystal]
"Well Crystal thank you for noticing the marks on my Leos, there's not many people who can identify such a small wound. Can you tell me more about yourself?"
[Kingston, as he tries to reach out to touch Crystal]
"We can't let you do that!"
[Twilight, knocking Kingston's hand out of the way]
"Oh, I forgot you too were still here."
[Kingston, as the pack of Leos begins to snarl again]
Twilight and Obitiga take a step back, including Crystal behind them.
"You don't have to be afraid."
[Kingston, pulling out a whip and cracking it in the air]
"You see, I've trained this pack pretty well. Unlike the last one, though, they did make a good meal for the attendees during the last carnival opening."
[Kingston]
Gasping for air Crystal falls to her knees.
"Are you that much of a lover of Animals?"
[Kingston, smiling]
"Yes! I'm a Rider! Why wouldn't I be!"
[Crystal, as she fights tears in her eyes]
"YES!"
[Kingston, with ecstasy]
"There's nothing better to me than a creature's pain but the pain of us beings."
[Kingston]
"What is wrong with you!"
[Crystal]
"Nothing. Have you never felt the ecstasy that is acquired from inflicting pain to another? It is like becoming one with Leoma herself."
[Kingston]
Cracking his whip on the air to the side of him, Kingston begins to charge at the team. Leaping back as he makes another crack of his whip they watch as the end snaps back before it can hit Crystal in the face. Obitiga begins to fire off his bow, hoping to keep Kingston at bay. Jumping from side to side and using his whip as a way to accelerate his movements he dodges.
"Yes, this is fun. It's what I've been looking for for a while."
[Kingston, laughing as he zips around the facility]
Roaring for the battle to commence he cracks his whip in the middle of the Leos alerting them for combat. They begin to snarl and move towards the team.
"You see, these types of fights have been what I've loved since I was young." [Kingston, giggling as he approaches the team]
"Just because you feel joy from the pain doesn't mean these creatures do, nor deserve what you are doing to them."
[Crystal]
Meanwhile in the left facility with Naraku:
"Dodging this guy it's taking a lot out of me."
[Naraku, thinking while panting in exhaustion]
"You taste better than I thought, especially while sweaty."
[Semar, licking his fingers]
"I'm not sure what else I can do in this fight, I'm almost at my limit. Especially since I'm still healing from my previous wounds."
[Naraku, inspecting himself]
Wounded from head to toe with small bullet holes, skin tears, and sli urn marks, Naraku was fully aware of the bad situation he had landed himself into. Scanning the room for a fast way out he sees objects at the foot of the door. They looked to be some medium potions. He guessed the team left them for him, but with Semar being in between him and what could restore his life he was still unsure of his outcome.
"You know, I would taste better, full healed and healthy as well! "
[Naraku, yelling at Semar from across the room]
"What do you mean, you seem like a fine and healthy specimen to me."
[Semar, chuckling]
"Semar begins to approach again, putting his gun to his side. Do you know what the best part of any meal is?"
[Semar]
"No."
[Naraku as he steps back]
"The part right before the creature fully dies. Where you get to see the essence leave their eyes first hand."
[Semar, grinning ear to ear]
"That's my favorite part of any meal."
[Semar, pointing his gun up at Naraku]
"I wonder what kind of look you will have."
[Semar, letting out a shot]
Using his bow to block the attack, leaving it cracked, Naraku rushes behind Semar, doing his best to speed towards the potions.
"Where do you think you are going?"
[Semar, as he chases him]
Arriving at the floor of the potions Naraku slides, opening one and consuming it before Semar reaches him grabbing his collar. Taking him with all the strength he could, he tosses Naraku over his shoulder and back to the middle of the room, hearing the shattering of a bottle along the way.
"What was that?"
[Semar, confused and a bit enraged]
"Don't worry about it, the battle you asked for is just beginning."
[Naraku, as he swings the other two potions back]
"What is that you are drinking?"
[Semar, as Naraku tosses the empty bottle to the ground]
"You can call it a little dressing for you to consume later. Though I doubt we will get that far."
[Naraku]
Returning to the facility on the right with Crystal and the Team:
With only one Leos left standing and Kingston cracking his whip at it Obitiga and Twilight make one final blow. Defeating the captured animal, they step back to allow room for the angered Crystal. Casting a spell she breaks the flooring below them. Dodging what should have been a fatal attack Kingston leaps into the air.
"You three are better than I thought, those were my best Leos. I will not dwell on that though, as their cubs are almost fully grown. You saved me the trouble of having to have them fight their parents."
[Kingston]
