It was a sunny day, kids, as well as adults wandered the park. The noise of car horns in the distance can be heard, the tall, gleaming buildings shine as bright as the sun. This is the Central Park; the heart of Abel City. Near the pond is a man sitting on a bench. He was abnormally tall, and wore thick baggy clothes. He had red hair, and Blue and Red eyes; Heterochromia. He looked onward. His vision was mighty, and to top it all off, if he was hurt or damaged, or his body was destroyed, he could live on. There is a dark secret about this man, and he was one of those people that the Police should really watch closely. He got up, and walked off through the city towards an old lab...

Ryuta meanders through the outskirts of the park. Despite the fast pace, he continues to remain neutral; he doesn't want to alert the people in this park of a possible explosion further down the city.

He can sense most of them were somewhat bewildered by the slight tremor of the ground, but passed it off as a small earthquake. He decides not to pay any mind and continues on his way.

While passing by a lake, he sensed an unusual spirit and eyes the source to see a man sitting on a bench appearing to be staring at nothing. Though suspicious, he hardly has the time to stick around and observe him. He needs to get to Main Street and check up on Hajime to make sure he's not in any real danger.

He readjusts the hood of his Vermillion Robe before continuing onward.

[Continues to Main Street]

[White-Jet]

[Returning from Main Street]

Ryuta decides to hang out at the park for a while until things calmed down. Though leaving without Hajime would put him at risk of being brought in for questioning, as long as his presence wasn't made, they won't go any further than asking him how much he witnessed the invasion.

He takes a seat on a bench near a large lake, deciding to watch the ducks swimming around while opening the take-out box and nip-picking at the pie inside.

[From Abel City Outskirts]

Dark Magnus and Xeyon decided to take a shortcut for peaking their heads into the Main Street. Dark Magnus stopped as he caught a glimpse of the man in the Spoony Bard earlier. ...Him again. I should keep a close watch for him and his little buddy. Dark Magnus said to himself. Xeyon placed his big hand on Dark Magnus's shoulder.

"You know, you are never relaxed and always thinking hard and stuff. You need to kill more often. It'll make you feel better--" Xeyon was cut off when Dark Magnus grabbed Xeyon's arm, lifted him off the ground a bit and slammed Xeyon on his back. "Don't touch me! And of course I'm not relaxed! I'M F***ING EVIL!" Dark Magnus said angrily. Xeyon just sat there on the ground, laughing his butt off. He always seem to toy around with Dark Magnus just to see his reactions all the time. He could tell Dark Magnus doesn't like "Partners".

[White-Jet]

Ryuta heard a noise and eyes the source, seeing the same black cloaked men from the restaurant, one of whom has the larger reploid pinned to the floor. Figuring this was none of his business he goes back to gazing out at the pond while keeping a spiritual watch on Hajime to make sure he isn't put in too much danger due to his inability to be spotted by both the Hunters and media.

[Magnus Blade]

Dark Magnus released Xeyon and started walking off. Xeyon got off his back and ran after him. "Hey, don't leave me here!" Xeyon yelled. Dark Magnus stopped again but this time looked Xeyon right in the eyes. "Okay Xeyon...let me show you something that will let you know that I mean business. I can be playful at times but when times are important, then I have to show no mercy!" Dark Magnus's Phoenix Eyes activated. Xeyon felt uneasy as the eyes stared deep into his own.

"...What...kind of trickery...is this?!" Xeyon asked while kneeling down on his knees. He had a bad memory appear in his head. A vision of his entire body being ripped to shreds yet it wasn't real. A mere illusion due to the eyes. Dark Magnus then ceased the attack. Xeyon held his head as he tried to stand up. "What...the hell was that?!" He asked. Dark Magnus slightly chuckled. "...That was a warning."

[White-Jet]

Ryuta felt a deep sense of manipulation coming from one of the dark figures and eyes them again, seeing the larger of the two being pulled to his knees by some kind of manipulating power. It was becoming obvious that these two strangers would be a real threat to the park if they continue to lollygag around; perticularly the one still standing due to the darkness in his soul.

He obviously isn't human, yet he still possesses a spirit, albiet dark and foreboding. Ryuta reaches into his right hand into the left side of his robe, clutching an old model beam saber hidden in the left pocket of his black, baggy pants, preparing to use it in case they caused any sort of trouble in the park.

[Magnus Blade]

Dark Magnus put a smile on his face as he liked to see others suffer. Xeyon regained some balance and started walking some more. "Okay....I think things are back in place now..." He said. Dark Magnus eyed the figure on the bench again. ...He seems awfully disturbed for some reason. Hmph. I need to get a refresher anyway. I should spark something...Magnus can wait. I need a little fun at the moment. This should attract the pest to strike me.

Dark Magnus had seen a man walking past him. He reached out his arm from his robe, grabbed the man by the neck, and started choking him. "UAAAAH! Please...stop!" The man cried. Dark Magnus laughed as he tightened the grip. Xeyon did a huge evil smile. "Finally! Some killing time!" Xeyon said in excitement. Dark Magnus had hoped that the figure on the bench would react to him choking the man.

[White-Jet]

Ryuta grits his teeth at the dark figure's actions; he's goading him to attack, obviously to use the same manipulating powers he hit the larger figure with.

He doesn't want to create too much attention onto himself, but at the same time doesn't want to sit by and wait to see if this was merely a bluff to play with his conscience. Holding the take-out box with the crustless pie still inside, he gets up and makes a neutral move towards the dark figure, still keeping his right hand in his robe where the old beam saber is being held.

[『ちびまる子ちゃん』正人]

The same red haired man that was here before returned. He walked over and stood at the very edge of the water. He looked down, and he turned his head left, way further than any human being could do, almost a 180 turn. He eyed Dark Magnus before shifting over to Ryuta. This man made no attempt to move. He gave a smile to Ryuta. Not only was his head almost 180 degrees turned around, but his smile was a mixed bag; looking evil but also as if he's just a normal citizen. He turned to look at Dark Magnus, and frowned. He walked over to him.

"Hey, would you stop that. He's suffering... Why not just end his suffering?" the red haired man said.

He was wearing a long very baggy dark red cloak; the perfect hiding place for anything suspicious. He yawned.

[Magnus Blade]

Dark Magnus frowned at the man that approached. "I do things my way. Better yet..." Dark Magnus snapped the man's neck and he tossed his now dead body to the side. "Nice and quick eh? I like that..." Dark Magnus turned away from the strange man and turned to the other one from before with the robe on. "And you. I know that you already guessed that I only did that to get your attention. You see, I haven't had a good fight in awhile now and I think I need to be...refreshed." Dark Magnus said as he unsheathed the Black Katana from his left side of his waist with his right hand but keeping the Shadow Levanter sheathed on his back, showing that he will only use it when he gets serious, which he believes won't happen. Dark Magnus wasn't sure about the other man if he was going to attack him or not but he prepared himself for the worst while waiting for the man in the robe to speak back.

Xeyon eyed Dark Magnus for a bit. I hate to say this but I think I'm gonna stay out this one. I want to know how he fights...

[White-Jet]

Upon seeing Dark Magnus kill the man, Ryuta's grit teeth harden as he pulls out the old model beam saber and squeezes it, causing a few sparks to crackle before a dull, purple blade shoots out.

People around the park were already panicking at what they saw and rushed off either to phone the police or avoid getting caught in the onslaught that was about to ensue. Ryuta eyes the fleeing group, knowing if he accepted this fight he true identity would be exposed, putting himself at risk of being captured by the Hunters.

[『ちびまる子ちゃん』正人]

The cloaked man let out a small smile, and he sat down on a rock a few feet away from him, and pulled out a video camera.

[Magnus Blade]

Dark Magnus began to taunt the man. "Come oooon! Stop stalling and FIGHT!" He raised his Katana and swung the Black Katana at him.

[White-Jet]

Ryuta brought his beam saber up to deflect the oncoming katana, eyeing the strange, red haired man who decided to sit down and record them. He doesn't trust what he plans to do with the footage, but at the moment that shouldn't be his main concern.

Turning his attention back to the dark figure, he swing his beam saber towards the dark figure, aiming to knock the katana out of his hand.

[Magnus Blade]

Dark Magnus barely held on to his Katana as it almost slipped out by the clash. He hurried and tightened his grip on his blade and started to push harder towards his enemy. "Pretty...good. But not good enough!" Dark Magnus released himself from the clash and back flipped back to his original position but quickly smashed the Katana into the ground, doing Magnus's "Burning Fangs" technique. Flame waves came out of the blade but they were black flames unlike Magnus's. The waves went towards the hooded man.

[White-Jet]

Ryuta drops the take-out box he had been carrying while shoving his hands into the sleeves of his robe, bringing them to his face to protect from the oncoming flames. The robe is flame-resistant, protecting him from the scortching heat of the flames, but not the impact as he struggles to keep standing while being pushed back from the wave. He pulls his head up just enough to get a good look at the dark figure while secretly pulling his left glove enough to expose his palm as it opened and dropped a Frost Bomb onto his sleeves.

He pulls his sleeves apart just enough to drop the Frost Bomb while bringing his right leg back and kicking it towards the dark figure. The effort, however, took away his balance as he falls flat on his back.

[Magnus Blade]

"Dammit!" Dark Magnus quickly created a flame shield when he sliced at the air. The Frost bomb went off and the shield froze up and shattered as Dark Magnus was knocked off his feet from the explosion of the shield.

He quickly grabbed the Katana again and used it as a cane to get up off the ground. He soon after stuck it in the ground with it's handle faced up and he began to clap his hands. "Impressive. I didn't expect you to use something like that..." He complemented. Looks like he's no chump. I'll get myself killed if I continue to mess around. Dark Magnus activated his Phoenix Eyes but wasn't planning on using the illusions but to focus completely on the robbed figure. With them activated, he could see more clearly to react more quickly but he refused to use his Levanter just yet.

[White-Jet]

Ryuta lifted his head, the hood knocked back as it revealed more of his head, wearing a red bandana, and his dark, red outlined hair seemed to be a few inches from shoulder-length and more spiky than the bangs hanging over his right face.

He saw the dark figure activating something in his eyes, causing him to grow stronger than normal, he must be getting halfway to taking this fight seriously; Ryuta needs to drive him out quickly before this place starts swarming with Maverick Hunters.

He back-flips onto his feet, the velocity yanking his hood back over his head, as he reclaims his beam saber and holds it in front of him, waiting to see what the dark figure plans to do with his new strength.

[Magnus Blade]

Dark Magnus placed a frown on his face and walked slowly over to his opponent with his blade ready. "You...I should have known not to underestimate you. Especially since that other guy with that robe's power was strong enough to drive my power out of people's minds." He said. Dark Magnus jumped high in the air and landed behind the man. Suddenly, he picked up speed, dashes towards the man and attempts to 3 hit combo with the Black Katana, hoping they would connect.
