[The Kingpin]

the man leapt to the side as he dodged the flames, sending a ball of pure plasma at the girl, interrupting any move she planned to use on him. just then, a wave of sand collided with his legs, tripping him as another came down from above, pinning him down, holding his hands in place. "It's unwise to ignore opponents" said Gaara, his hand held out in front of him, half curled into a fist. he raised his hand up, the man being raised along with it. just before he could deliver the finishing blow, a blast of plasma blew the sand off, the man landing on the ground with a thud, coughing from the pressure. "Not bad...you almost...had me" said the man as both his arms began to glow with plasma...

[Hopeflower]

From behind, thick bands of fire wrapped around the man, pinning his arms to his sides and binding his legs together. Yoruichi had the ends of the bands wrapped loosely around her fingers, for they were part of the fire and therefore she didn't need to hold them. "You shouldn't let your enemies get behind you," Yoruichi growled, wiping her forehead with her free hand. It was taking a fair amount of energy to keep the fire ropes in place, and she wasn't sure how long she could hold them there.

Reappearing to the side of the man, Jacen saw his opportunity, he strectched out his left hand, as as a lighting blade formed...the thin lighting weapon extended outfward with pinpoint accuracy and speed towards his target's chest..

[The Kingpin]

"you little *****" said the man as he struggled, twisting his wrist just enough to have his palm facing the girl, before activating a plasma beam, blowing her back. but the pause had been too long. the sand closed in around him just as the flame ropes dissipated and the lightning blade nearly hit him, stopping it from killing him but still letting an excruciating jolt of pain go through him, as the sand locked around the man's arms just above the gloves, Gaara immediately having it press in, a metallic crunching sound being heard, followed by a blood curdling scream as the hidden alloy armour crushed and cut the man's arms to pieces. Gaara crossed his arms as the sand tossed the man across the room, slamming him into a wall with enough force to smash through it, the man fliding several feet away in the next room, skidding a hault by a railing, a trail of blood and sand between him and Gaara. Gaara's eyes narrowed as he walked over to the gloves, crouching down and examining them for a moment, before leaving them to whoever wanted them as he walked over to the downed man, using the sand to raise him up, looking him right in the face. "Where is that cargo going?" said Gaara, pointing down at the large train below as it started up. "Like i'll...tell...you" said the man as he coughed. Gaara closed his hand slightly, the sand around the man closing in. "Answer otherwise i'll be forced to make this even more excruciating" said Gaara, his bloodthirsty nature becoming increasingly obvious in his chillingly calm voice. "Alright alright....The......Guy...pulling the strings...." said the man. "I don't know anyone who pulls strings. specify" said Gaara. "The...The Kingpin" said the man. "I don't know a "Kingpin" either. name him" said Gaara, though he truthfully DID know, but wanted the name to be revealed to two with him. among the cargo moved on the train below were high explosive missiles of various types, and a container that had a Nuclear Hazard sign on the side. "The man...pulling the....strings" said the man as he wheezed. Gaara tightened the sand's grip on the man, causing him to cough up blood as several ribs cracked. "O...kay!...Valentino....Leone....CEO of....Electrotek..incorperated...ugh" said the man with a wheeze. "good..." said Gaara, before moving his hand to the left, the man's eyes widening as he watched. Gaara looked at him coldly. "now that i have what i need...you are useless...". he closed his hand, balling it into a fist, the sand mimicking the move, crushing the man, blood raining down on the area around it, the sand forming an umbrella over Gaara as it caught the blood and absorbed it, before returning to the gourd. "Valentino Leone...the guy in charge of a company with global influence...the boss of almost a third of the city's population...dealing with Nukes and other WMDs" he said as he closed his eyes, thinking hard for a moment. how was he going to get to such a high level person?...

[Anaclagon]

"So we gonna try and kill him or..more answers?" Jacen asked as he looked at all the blood...it was a weird situation. Hopefully he would get the answers he wanted to know as they would move on..

[Hopeflower]

Yoruichi struggled up, the flames moving to the place where she'd been struck and entering the wound. The demon-child grunted slightly, surprised when the pain faded. She headed over to the two men, her sandals tapping quietly on the ground. She looked around at the destruction, saying nothing.

[The Kingpin]

"Well, seeing as this guy's a major person in the Mafia in the country, we can't just simply kill him. chances are he's capable of beating this guy to a pulp with little effort" said Gaara, gesturing at the blood all around them; the only remains of the man he had just interrogated. "not to mention the endless swarm of hitmen and enforcers he has. if we're going to take him down, we need to be better prepared. there was a display case in the wall in that room back there with several sets of gloves similar to the ones this guy was wearing. chances are they're geared to handle a sticky situation. either way, when i finally DO get to this guy, i'm going to want answers off him....his entire Organisation is going to be destroyed...i won't let anyone in it survive" said Gaara as he held his head down slightly...

[Hopeflower]

Yoruichi scuffed the ground with the toe of one sandal, thinking deeply. She was a demon, who was supposed to be dead, and was now going after an extremely powerful person. She grimaced slightly. Well...sometimes one had to make sacrifices for others. In this case, she was sacrificing her 'dead' status for the chance to help out an ally. It was risky, and no doubt a few people who thought her dead would be on her case for the rest of her life, but she was willing to take that chance.

[Anaclagon]

Jacen nodded.."So whats our next move?" Jacen asked. He was getting information which was good but at other times, there was some things he had to know but at the moment, he got information that would be highly useful later on.

[The Kingpin]

"Well, i'd say grab a pair of those gloves and make use of them. personally, i'm going to take some days to rest and gear myself. this is going to be alot tougher than what we've been doing so far" said Gaara simply as the sand finally re-entered the gourd completely...

[Hopeflower]

Yoruichi felt the flames fade away rather than saw them leave her. She looked around, uncertain of what to do now. As she ran her tongue over her fangs once more, a rapidly developing habit of hers that showed up when she was thinking deeply, her eyes fell onto the taloned gloves that had been abandoned. Maybe there would be something to help her control her fire more easily where those had come from. Maybe, just maybe...

[The Kingpin]

Gaara turned back into the room, spotting the two severed lower armes of the liquified man, walking past them and looking at a large display case with numerous metallic gloves. they were blocked by a bullet proof glass divider, locked through a password. not in the mood to figure the code out, Gaara looked over his shoulder at the opening of the gourd. pulling the cork out, sand began to emerge, snaking out before shooting forward with immense force, cracking the glass. the sand began to swirl on the spot, drilling through the glass and soon grinding it away. as the sand returned to the gourd, Gaara reached in, pulling the tray carrying them all out. "Either of you want a pair?"...

[Hopeflower]

Youirchi blinked, snapping out of a daze andturning her attention back to Gaara. "Um...sure," she muttered, stepping forward to look at the gloves.

[Anaclagon]

"I'm fine" Jacen replied...he was still confident in his abilities but he knew he had to get stronger, more powerful. But that would come with time and expirence and future battles. Placing his hands in his pockets as he sighed, waiting for the next thing that was to take place.

[Hopeflower]

With the air of someone picking apart a dead carcass, Yoruichi lifted the black pair of gloves and slid them on. She flexed her fingers, then allowed flames to travel into her fingers, where they burned, not blue-white, or red-orange, but a dark grayish black in the palm of her hand. "Nice," she muttered, the flames vanishing.

[The Kingpin]

"Your choice...Jacen" said Gaara as he walked back towards the entrance, watching Yoruichi experiment with the gloves. "Found a pair you like?" he asked...

[Hopeflower]

"Yeah, I think I have." Yoruichi turned to look at Gaara, her demonic eyes alight with anticipation. She flexed her fingers, admiring the gloves for a moment, before she crossed her arms, looking around absently.

[The Kingpin]

"Well then, if you two are done, i think it's time we got back to the surface" said Gaara as he began to walk back the way they came...

[Anaclagon]

"Agreeded.." Jacen began to follow, glancing towards the girl's new gloves at the moment before he continued on walking. He still preferred his sword and lighting abilities anyway..

[Hopeflower]

Yoruichi followed, last, pausing briefly to listen intently, thinking she heard something. Shrugging it off as nothing after a moment, she proceeded, the sandals she wore tapping quietly, the demon-child becoming lost in thought.
