"You..."
Looking at the chairman of the Help and Prospering Association whom is standing menacingly, Red can't help but be pissed. The person responsible for the current predicament they are in, is now standing in the open. Yet despite such scene and having the strength to beat said person in a pulp, she can't really do much. Not with Louis currently being held hostage.
"What an odd set of intruders do we have now." Chairman Ryo spoke. "A regular person and a Nightmare. How truly unexpected."
With her hat gone after being fling away earlier, Red's horns are now fully out in the open. Noticing it just now, Red can't help but be embarrassed for a second.
"Nightmare? E-eh!? The hat's gone!"
"You're just noticing it now?" Louis spoke to the embarrassed Red.
Noticing how casual both Louis and Red seems to be, the standing chairman can't help but feel disrespected. Not wanting such disrespect to linger any longer, he ordered both to shut up.
"Quiet! Both of you!" Chairman Ryo yelled.
"You shut up!" Red shouted back. "Don't even move or try anything funny."
"Oh? Threatening me now, is it?"
"I'm not fucking joking around. I'll beat you to death if you ever try to mov-."
But before Red can even finish her words, Ryo suddenly moved; Slowly walking closer to where Red is.
"Hey!"
"Oh? I thought you were going to kill me?"
"Y-you..."
"Ha! In the end all that barking is nothing but empty threats." Chairman Ryo spoke.
Getting madder at the person, Red can't help but grit her teeth in anger. Not knowing what to do in the situation, she just points her finger at the slowly approaching man.
"Stop it Red." Louis spoke once more to Red.
"Oh ho? You seem more sensible than this Nightmare here." Ryo spoke.
"Who are you?" Louis questions.
"Asking questions despite being in such situation. I don't know if you either are brave or as foolish as this Nightmare here."
"..."
"Well either way, you both are going to be puppets in the end. So why not I entertain you for a bit. The name's Ryo, I'm the chairman of this prestige association that you both are in."
"I see..."
Huh? I thought we already know who this guy is? Why ask such a question? Red questioned in her mind, quite confuse as to where Louis is going at. Yet despite such questions lingering in her, Red remained quiet.
"Are the one responsible for the missing people in Rockwell?"
"Missing people?"
"Let me rephrase my question then. Have 2 agents from the BPSEA been here?"
"Oh, I get it now... The missing people you mean. Ahahaha indeed I do have the people you are referring to." Ryo confessed. "Thou I must say they have been quite a hassle more than they are worth. Having BPSEA agents arriving at my doors and now both of you."
"Worth you say?" Louis echoed. "Let me guess this kidnapping scheme of yours have something to do with this association?"
"Well, you're sharp eyed at least."
"It's not that hard to connect the dots once you learn things." Louis said. "For a fairly new organization, you oddly sure have a lot of connections I must say."
"Oh?"
"This isn't the first time you've done such an act, isn't it? If I were to guess once again, the reason why this organization of yours got this big so fast has something to do with controlling people."
.
.
"I guess I had mistaken. You're not quite as foolish as I thought." Ryo spoke.
"Not far from the truth huh?"
"Correct and because of that I have to erase both of you immediately."
"Not a chance fucktard. Red hit me!!"
Before Ryo can even begin and act upon what he was going to do. Louis called out for Red, which she quickly understood.
Pointing her finger at Louis, a red orb made of blood began to form from where her finger was which surprised the unsuspecting Ryo. Feeling threated at the situation, he quickly began to back off and tell the giant creature to attack. But before the giant bat can even follow the command, it was immediately shot down by the orb of blood along with Louis who was made to block the projectile.
"Blood Shot!" Red yelled.
"[Loud Roar!]" Screamed the creature.
"What are doing!?" Ryo cried. "Attack the bloody Nightmare already!"
But once again, before the creature can even move. It was stopped by Louis, whom with his free hand pointed his revolver at its head.
"Blood Shot..." Louis muttered.
Shot in the heat by a similar attack that Red made, the giant bat finally let go of Louis which freed him of its grasp. Yet despite of being relieve, Louis immediately calls for Red as he himself begins to move to where Ryo is.
"Red take care of this thing!"
"Aye!" Red replied.
Hearing what Louis said, Red quickly ran to the already recovering bat. Tackling the creature with all her might, she and creature crashed themselves into the locked door which destroyed the poor thing and the walls surrounding it.
As for Louis himself, he also began his dash to Ryo which prompted the chairman to escape. Seeing the man flee, Louis quickly aimed his gun to where Ryo's leg was and began to shoot. But instead of a bloody scene occurring, what happened instead was something that Louis expected. Instead of having a leg be blown off what happened was that the bullet was blocked by a barrier that suddenly coated Ryo.
"Goddamn energy shields." Louis complained.
"Agents!" Ryo yelled.
"!?"
With his situation quickly becoming dire, Ryo immediately called for backup which alerted the approaching Louis. With their master's call for help, two figures suddenly appeared from left and right side of Louis which he quickly notices. Also seeing that the two figures are swinging a blade at him, he quickly dodges the attacks and backs off as far away from the two as possible.
"Kill that man!" Ryo continues to yell.
Finally able to observe the two people much closer, Louis notices that both people are the missing BPSEA agents.
"I see... they are still alive." Louis mutters.
Seeing their state and how they seem to be obeying Ryo. The two seems to be affected in some sort of mind control. Not really surprised at what he is seeing, Louis just prepares his stance as he expects that the capturing of Ryo is going to be a bit annoying.
--------------------------------------------
Red
Crashing into the previous room, Red can't help but be annoyed as she slowly gets up from the rubbles. Her clothes and face filled with dirt and her head hurts from the damage caused by getting hit with multiple bricks. It's somewhat surprising that it was the only injury she sustained from the crash.
None the less, she's still fine and well ready to face off the giant bat. Quickly summoning the sword made of blood in her hand once again and readying her stance.
"Raaarrrgghhhh!!!" The giant creature howled.
"Come at me bitch!" Red spoke as she prepares to attack.
Provoked and extremely angry the giant bat quickly charges at Red. Showing its sharp fangs as it tries a biting move. Quick with her feet, Red dodges the attack and swings her blade which once again injured the creature. Slicing a part of its face and making a bloody scene.
"Raaarrrghhh!!" The giant bat screamed in pain.
Not done with said move, Red once again tries to attack. But not wanting to be hurt, the giant bat quickly swings its giant wing which Red saw and swiftly evaded.
Evading said attack, Red points her finger at the creature and shoots another "Blood Shot" which downed the bloody creature. Seeing an opportunity to quickly end the fight, Red charges at the downed animal; intending to cut off its head with her blade. But just as she gets near the creature, a flock of bats suddenly appeared which stopped Red from her path.
"Shit!"
Getting surrounded by multiple bats, Red swings her blade intending to get out of her current situation. But with the amount of bats flocking her at said moment, it was proving to be quite a difficult task especially with her trying to evade and dodge the bats attacks.
"Argh!"
Getting bitten in her left leg, Red quickly gets rid of the still biting creature by grabbing and crushing it with her hand. But just as she was relieved of said annoyance, another bat quickly charges at her which she manages to block with her hand.
"Goddammit!" Red complained.
Having her hand now be bitten, she again quickly gets rid of the creature by grabbing ang crushing it with her other hand. But after she finishes killing the thing, the downed giant bat already recovered and commences another attack by swinging its giant wing.
Noticing the attack too late, Red gets hit by the attack and gets flung away from where she stands and into a wall.
"Argh!" Red uttered in pain.
Not even after she gets flung into a brick wall did the attack even stopped. As flocks of bats quickly charge at the downed Red. Not being able to do much at said moment, Red can only endure the pain as numerous bats tries to bite into her.
"Y-you.. Little shits!"
Even more pissed than she once was. Red grabs one of the bats and bites into the creature, gorily ripping off its head. Upon doing such an act, she then drinks the blood of the creature and proceeded to do the same with the other bats.
"Die! Die! Die!"
Not wanting the chance for Red to escape, the giant bat once again charges at Red, intending to crush her along with the small bats with its body.
"!?"
Getting hit with the charge, much of the place rumbled from the impact of hit. But despite with much of the damaged done in the wall, Red was surprisingly okay; be it bruised and bleeding from everywhere.
"B-bad move cunt..."
With a devilish smile in her face, she pins the creature down with her abnormally strong arm and legs.
"RAAARRGGHH!!" The giant bat howled.
With the giant creature unable to move, it calls for the remaining bats to attack the already injured Red. But already expecting said move, she just continues to smile as the remaining bats once again flocks her.
"B-blood... Bomb."
.
.
.
With those words muttered an explosion of blood quickly engulfs much of the surrounding which cause a huge rumble and many damages.
Corpses of bats and guts scattered all over a pool of red which is a terrifying scene for the innocent eyed. Yet despite the scene looking like a complete bloodbath, one stands above all the dead, looking beautiful and stunning.
With a smooth figure soaked in blood and horns as red as a ruby. In the end Red stands victorious in the brutal encounter.
.
.

"I suppose there goes my clothes." Red spoke as she looks at her ripped clothing.
