Scarab quickly parried one attack and then disappeared in thin air appearing upon a wall. He crouched and saw Red Demon and Smiling Demon look up at him. He then pulled his gun and fired a couple of shots and then vanished again. Red and Smiling dodged the bullets and looked about. 'Alright there has to be a way to track him?' Red thought.
He appeared to his side slashing with his short blade. Smiling slashed with his axe, Scarab dodged. Smiling used his power over metal to lift a piece of metal debris from the alleyway. He swiped his arm forward and the piece flew past him. Scarab seemed to pause for a moment before with a quick slash a purple mist coated the blade. He slashed through the metal like butter and teleported over Smiling bringing his knee down. Smiling grabbed his leg and threw him off. He then created needles from midair and threw them at Scarab. He cut two and was then hit in the shoulder by another. He regrouped but was then sliding forward as the needles embedded in his shoulder became the hook. Smiling pulled him towards him and Scarab resisted kicking off the ground and teleporting away from Smiling's control.
He appeared on a roof and began to try and pull the needle out. It seemed lodged in his shoulder. He groaned in pain, giving up. He then produced a rock with a magic circle upon it. He then coursed chi into it, "Scarab where are you?" A voice of one of his men shouted. He winced from the yelling and became frustrated his position was now blown. "Rookie mistake" he clenched the rock and then ran towards the end of the roof.
Smiling and Red demon appeared on the roof. Red stomped his foot hard activating Terra. The roof then became like mud and erupted into a wave running along the roof. Scarab was then slowing down as his feet sank into the roof. He then slammed his hand down, "HARDEN!" He screamed as a wave of purple energy erupted his hand creating a magic circle. The roof hardened and he broke free from its grasp. He then teleported over Red Demon and brought his blade down. Red Demon's sword held up from the effects of the wakizashi. Scarab teleported away from his opponents now at the end of the roof. "Fancy a run?" Scarab then fell backwards free falling from the roof. He teleported across the street on an adjacent roof. He rolled and got to his feet. Red Demon then activated his greaves and a gold circle erupted from feet. He shot into the air and was now hovering over Scarab.
Smiling clenched his ax hard pulling back and with all his strength threw it in the air. With then reached out to the metal in his mind bringing himself to the weapon. He was now in the mid air after he grasped the axe with both hands. He then slammed into a roof and began running after Scarab. Red Demon landed on another roof that followed Scarab's path. He was now running alongside him as they jumped, rolled, and slid over the city roofs. This went on for a while taking them through the outskirts of Golden Eye.
Red finally fed up, surged lightning into his feet and with all his strength made a mad dash to Scarab. Once caught up grabbed the hood of his jacket and slammed into the roof. The air burst from his lungs and he became dazed. Smiling pulled him close with the needle still in his arm and drove a fist into his face knocking him out for a moment.
He collapsed and his mask fell from his face. He looked up at Smiling and grinned getting up and driving a fist into Smiling's face. The big man smiled under his mask throwing his axe away. "Alright let's see what you got tough guy?" Scarab put up hands and the two then came in close. They then began to brawl throwing fist after fist at each other. From stomach to face to kicks to the chest. Smiling head butted him and then drove a fist into stomach. Scarab countered and dodged a punch weaving around his extended arm and drove a jab and then elbow across Smiling's face.
Smiling backed up and then began to overwhelm Scarab with fakes and then jabs to the body. Before giving him a right hook across the face, throwing him to the ground. Smiling approached before getting a kick to the knee. Smiling grabbed his foot keeping his balance and picked him up. Grappling him he slammed him to the ground. Scarab spit blood, "Smiling, we want him alive. Enough" Smiling shrugged. And catching his breath. "What now? We shackle him, he teleports away?" Red nodded and approached Scarab's unconscious body. Then kicked him over and then looked him over. With quick fingers he then hit vital chi circuit pressure points. "There now he's harmless. Red pulling out shackles that Sister Spinner gave him 'probably saw this happen that woman is eerie?' He thought of clasping them to the Scarab's wrist. Smiling walked over picking up Scarab's mask. "So now what?" Red looked down at a glowing rock. 'Communication stone?' He picked it up. "Whoever is listening. I got your man. Have your leader meet me at those abandoned warehouses" he then threw the rock away.

Sun Demon was sitting in the parlor as a tattoo artist was giving her an artificial element of Flame. She said with her shirt off sitting with a bra on. The artist finished up and set the needle down. She began wiping her hands off. "All done," Sun Demon nodded. She was sweating and she felt a little weak. She put her shirt back on and looked at the artist "thank you. You have the other thing I asked for?" She asked. The artist nodded and pulled out a small pouch. She took it and saw three pills. "Recovery pill, Demon Spirit pill, and Phoenix Pill as requested" Sun Demon nodded and threw her a pouch of gold. She caught it smiling, "You really are a hero Sun" she said opening the pouch. "That also buys silence?" The sockets of her mask were glowing white, "Oh I remember. You have my loyalty" she bowed. "Enjoy your night. Stay out of trouble" Sun Demon said, turning her back to the artist.
The artist packed up and left, leaving Sun alone in her quarters at the Hideout. She threw the Recovery pill into her mouth. She felt her body start recovering chi and stabilizing the meridian of Flame. Her body felt hot and tired. She sat upon the bed and laid down. When a knock came at the door. "Sun! Sun! Someone has Scarab!" The voice said through the door.
She sat up violently, "WHO!" She yelled getting to her feet. She pulled the door opened and was met by one of her men. "What is going on!" She yelled. "We found and killed knights from the Chivalry Realm. There is an army outside our walls at any moment that will sack our city! Scarab found two more knights and followed them. He reached out and was then captured. The captors wish to meet with you" Sun demon's eyes were glowing bright white as her body started to glow. "Why wasn't this brought to my attention sooner?" She asked with a cold tone. "Scarab wished to find more knights to try and get more information ma'am" Sun winced at this. 'He would do that' she put on her light armor and picked up her spear. "Where are they wishing to meet?" She was blunt and forcible. "The old industrial complex" Sun walked past him and then ran down the hall.
