The Night

Hiroshi arrived back in Tokyo in no time thanks to the ability to travel so quickly. Though he was really wishing he had asked Bow just exactly what was going on so he knew what to look out for, but he had a feeling whatever it was he was going to find out very soon. This place never seemed to get a break.

On the many monitors dotted around Tokyo, there were news reports about invaders from outter space! They seemed to be dropping all through out the world. They had tanks, troops, and artillery. It was a full on invasion, like with what happened years back with the Space Pirates, except these forces weren't on a search and destroy mission. They seemed to be leveling everything in their path!

Hiroshi's stomach sank. He knew his parents were out but he had no idea if they were safe or not, and they weren't answering obviously. 'Okay, okay. Don't panic. Go check on Taki's family and keep them safe I'm sure my parents are fine.'

He really hoped they were okay, he had no clue if the fighting had reached them or not.

"Panicking... is good... fear keeps you... sharp... on edge... and ready... for everything..." the Obliterator snarls.

Taki and her family were in their house, which was surrounded by a magical barrier, intended to ward off unwelcome intruders "Stop..!" the Obliterator hisses "We can not... go in there..." he growls.

Hiroshi backed off a bit for now, he wasn't sure what would happen if he tried to enter but best not to chance it. It did hopefully mean the whole family was safe at least for now so something a bit less to worry about for the moment.

So that was out, at least until confirmed otherwise which left a question mark of his own family which were out doing their own thing. Besides that and Taki's family there weren't too many people in the immediate area to worry about. There was, of course,  Lara, Sarah and Mitsuki which he didn't want anything to happen to due to being Taki's friends though the later could more then take care of themselves, obviously. Same with Usagi, though but still.

'Okay.' He began after a moment trying to think of a game plan. 'I think its best to play the stealth and rescue route for the moment instead of just going guns blazing and keep a low profile but need to find Lara and Sarah. I don't want to imagine what will happen if we get by some of those vechiles. Maybe regroup with Usagi and Mitsuki if we can find them. If nothing else, Mitsuki's family would just be normal people they wouldn't stand a chance out there.'' It was worth a shot, some high level Nosferartu could do it apparently but he had never seen it before.

He'd also have to be stingy with his beans, something he was going to hate. 'Maybe we can use this place as shelter, if I can find the others and get into contact with them somehow. Kinda hard when we can't enter. Jack's base may be a good place to shelter the others too, more room too. What do you think?'

The Obliterator was silent for a moment "We need... more infornation... about our foes..." he growls.

"I agree..." Mad hisses, as he steps out of the darkness "Their tanks... have sturdy shields... only we four... can get past them..." he growls.

"Let others... worry about... the civilians... we have... much more important... work to do..." Mad snarls.

"Rademaker... is correct..." the Obliterator hisses "The more we know..  the better chance... we have... to emerge... victorious..."

Hiroshi frowned slightly, but then answered. "..All right I'll come along. Did you just read my mind though?" He hadn't been talking out loud about any of his thoughts but he somehow seemed to know about the conversation. Either way, he definitely was going to check in on everyone when and if he had the chance later.

Mad turns away, and starts back towards the shadows "No... I heard... your guest..." he says, referring to the Obliterator "When in... the darkness... we can hear them..." he growls "Sometimes... we won't like... everything we hear..." he grumbles as he walks unto the shadows.

That made sense so for that, he left it alone as he followed. "So how bad is the situation going on out there on the ground?" The only people he knew in the hunters were Abraxus, Blader and May. He knew Abraxus the most while the others were more of brief aquatiences still he hoped everyone was all right.

"The creatures we face... are called the Trojan.. " he says as he explains what they know about the invaders. Since they were pooling their knowledge, what Paragon Corp and the Unknown Heroes knew, the Hunters knew.

"We should have killed them... all of them..." hisses something in the darkness around them "Their magical powers... would have made us stronger..." this thing, it sounded pure evil and even slightly insane.

Hiroshi figured the other voice was the thing Mad was attached to and he was pretty sure he didn't want to know who the voice was talking about so he ignored them. "So an alien invasion again? Great. We don't really have any space presence so don't know why we keep attracting that kind of attention, but doesn't matter."

Mad's eyes were burning "Don't complain..." he snarls "We are in... a very unique position... to be the best... at learning who... and what... these Trojan can do..." he growls "Unlike Nosferatu... we can become... the very shadows... darkness... that cast a shadow.. upon darkness it's self..." he says in a low growl.

"This one... is useless..." the Darkness snarls "We should kill him... and eat his heart.. his darkness will make us strong..."

"True enough." In Hiroshi's mind while Mad had a good point on that front, he did have a slight right to bitch considering what was happening with his home, he had no idea the status of anyone else save maybe the Izumi's with just losing someone not to long ago. So he was a bit more on edge.

As for the creepy Darkness he ignored them again, though he had no idea how Mad put up with them long term. Or rather, if he was stuck with them or choose to keep that power anyway but had the option to get rid of it.

Mad nods "We should... go to Paragon Corp..." he growls "That is... where our forces... are gathering..." he says with a snarl.

"That's fine, lead the way." Hiroshi didn't have much to say, he was ready to get these things invaders his home, the sooner the better.

((I suppose the two of them are out.))
