Cereza growled lowly, and pushed the man back. "I see you have some healing abilities." She said, as her eyes returned to its dull yellow. "I wonder, how many hits can to take before your ability is over-strained." She added, as she rested her swords on her shoulders, the blades crossing each other behind her head, as her ears popped up, then flicked. "Hmm...looks like our presence has drawn the villagers attentions." She turned her head slightly, as a small group of villagers began to crowd, and whisper.

******

Nijuu placed her hand on Tynan's back. "It's fine." She whispered to him.
Tynan straightened his stance, and released Nijuu's arm from his grasp, however, he continued to keep himself in front of Nijuu at all times...still unsure of what would..or could happen.

Kye grinned, "All those with Knight blood can regenerate, my hellhound side grants greater healing too........and I don't care if they watch......." The flesh in his arms seemed to bulge, as if new muscle had been immediately built over the old as he flipped up and slammed his blade down into her weapons, which released a plume of heat into the sky.

Pyro walked into the room, the legendary master of flame and heat, and Grey's uncle. Noticing Tynan, he simply watched.

"What the..." Cereza yelped in surprise, as her dull yellow eyes began to burn once again. Though she could feel the difference in temperature, it wasn't all that uncomfortable.

******

Nijuu kept her hand on Tynan's back, knowing that there would be no way to get him to relax, nor step aside.
Tynan's gaze moved towards Nijuu, his head only turning slightly. He could see the faint smile on Nijuu's place face..and though that would have normally calmed him enough to drop his stance, he couldn't help but feel like something unexpected would happen.
Nijuu looked at Grey, still smiling faintly. "Grey, would you mind if Tynan and I used this training hall of yours?" She asked.

Grey nods, "Use it to your hearts content.....its down the stairs, and to the east side of the complex............"

Kye stepped backward, smiling as his muscles twisted underneath the skin, "Hellhounds, in the human form, are just as deadly in the form of the beast........" He slammed his blade down upon hers again, with double the force, and sent a plume of heat into her, one that carried force with it.

He chuckled as well.
"Facts are, he doesn't need holy water to give me a hard time - it's the fact he uses it at all that will be the problem."
Then he grinned.
"Plus, fascinating twist, if it comes to blows I'm not just going to take it this time..."
He flexed his muscles, twitched out his wings, and let his eyes sparkle darkly.
"I'm not going to leave that building until he's given me and Chastity his blessing. That, and agreed to help us - though he may want to vent on something after our encounter so that shouldn't be too hard..."

Cereza growled lowly. "My pack has no need for such a beast." She snarled, as she bore her fangs. "My pack needs a half blood Fire Dire Wolf...not some kind of hell beast." Though the heat grew more uncomfortable, it put more of a hindrance upon her respiratory system.

******

Nijuu bowed her head to Grey. "Thank you very much, Grey." She turned to Tynan and nodded her head at him, then proceeded to follow the directions that had been given to her....with Tynan following closely behind her.

Kye laughed, "Why would I even wanna be part of a pack....I'm loner....that's what I've always been.......I aided in the death of the most powerful hellhound in existence...........why would I want a pack to hinder me?" He spun around, and this time, when he slammed his blade into hers, the heat released blew away the ground around her.

Grey chuckled, "Good luck in that regard.....its gonna be a while before I can actually battle anyone.....so I can only wish you luck........Occidio would probably enjoy seeing an Arch angel like him getting too......he would....but............" His words trailed off.

Cereza growled lowly, as her ears flattened, and her eyes began to glow softly. "Good, because I wouldn't want you in my pack to save my life!" She roared loudly, as she pushed him back.

******

Nijuu and Tynan walked into the training hall. Nijuu had never seen a hall like this before, and the expression on her face reflected as such.
Tynan walked into the room, and stood in its center, removing his cloak. "We need to focus some of that power of yours." He stated flatly.
Nijuu blinked and looked at Tynan. "We do?" She repeated.
Tynan nodded his head. "Yes." He replied promptly, as he drew one of his guns. "I'm sorry to say this; but you're going to be learning the hard way."

Kye let himself be thrown back, grinning as he landed. "Well we're in agreement about that aren't we....hehehehe........Salamandra........." His blade glowed bright red as he ran forward, swinging it once to launch a wave of heat toward her legs, while swinging his blade once again to sent a wave of heat into her weapons before clashing again.

Cereza grunted lowly, as she braced for the clash...her most dominant blade buckled under the temperature surrounding them. Cereza growled, and discarded the blade. Breathing more heavily now as a result of the heat, and not having the ability to sweat like the 'humans', she began to pant. Then finally, out of frustration, she discarded her remaining blade, and pushed away from the man. Leaping backwards, and landed in a crouched position. She then looked up at the man, her eyes still glowing, as she dug her claws into the ground.

Kye grinned, stepping backwards and throwing his blade into the ground. "So, you'd like to duke it out eh?" He placed his fists together as his flesh began to change, and his figure grew just a little bigger, as his body became that of an armored hellhound, ruby red flesh covering his armored body.

Cereza glared at the man, as she slowly rose from her crouched position. She took a deep breath...though it hurt her to do so. She raised her hand in front of her, the palm of her hand face up...holding what appeared to be a small ball of fire. "Though I can't set my body aflame like the rest of my pack, I can create it." Her glowing gaze moved from the small ball of fire, to the man...then her eyes ceased glowing..returning to its dull yellow.

Kye summoned a sphere of blue flame from the air. "I can make it too.......a useful power......I can also convert my body to flame and embers at times.........."

Suddenly, the ball of fire upon Cereza's hand burned out, as she straightened her stance. "I can see that there will be no end to this 'sparring match' of ours if we continue on like this." She stated flatly, as she walked over and pick up her now almost useless blades. "If you are not going to be of any assistance, then I will find a half breed on my own, and deal with whatever hellhounds cross my path." She added, as she picked up her broken blade, and pulled the cloth belt that had been wrapped around her waist off and wrapped it around her broken sword.

Kye shrugged as he reverted back to his normal form. He picked up his blade and placed it onto his back. "Well, I guess we can call that a draw, and worry not, I just need to make a phone call......" He took his fireproof cellphone from his coat.

Grey answered his cellphone, and quietly spoke with his brother before closing his phone again.

At this time, Kye grinned, "My brother knows of someone like that, does the name, Tynan ring a bell?"

Cereza tilted her head to the right, as she looked at the man. "Now I know you must be joking, because the only person I know with that name, is dead...a charred corpse in the north."

Kye shook his head, "Nope, Grey says he's alive and well, as a guardian to a young woman.......an interesting comparison to your description of him right?"

Cereza growled lowly. "This I have to see for myself." She growled, as a displeased expression formed on her face.

As they spoke, a black portal appeared under both of them, dragging them into Grey's training hall.

As irony would dictate, Cereza landed comedicly on top of Tynan.
"For the love of....does this place not have any bells or whistles for people falling out of the sky?" Tynan grunted in frustration.
Nijuu stared at the newcomers with an expression of both bewilderment, and awe.
Cereza rolled of Tynan, before she had even realized what...or where..she was...Tynan's scent was the first thing she recognized. She jumped to her feet. "What the hell are you doing alive?" She demanded.
Tynan looked at his cousin, with no expression on his face. "I was hoping you'd continue to think I was dead. You seemed better off that way." He replied, as he turned slightly, holstering his gun.
"Better off?!" Cereza raised her brow. "Are you kidding?! Do you have any idea how chaotic the pack is without you?"
"Tynan?" Nijuu said, as she walked towards him.
Cereza looked at Nijuu, and growled lowly.
Tynan jumped in front of Nijuu, keeping her behind him, then lifted up his shirt, showing Cereza the scar upon his chest. "I am not part of the pack any longer." He replied, as he pulled down his shirt. "I am Nijuu's protector. I owe her my life...when you left me to die!"

Kye remained quiet, though interjected, "Seems pretty clear to me lady that you should go find someone else, the man seems attached to the lady, and when a man is attached to a lady, its hard to pry him away from her.........."

Cereza growled at Tynan. "How could you abandon your pack like this?" She demanded.
"Abandon?!" Tynan snarled. "As I recall, it was your precious Alpha...your bitch mother...that sent me to...how did she put it...ah yes....to put down my father."

Kye looks at the floor, "That's why I hate packs.........for those reasons, even if a family member becomes a monster, having family put them down should never occur........."

"You'd think that by now, they'd realize this." Tynan looked at the stranger. "However, for centuries, this pack has been like this...only 'requiring' one half breed to police the whole pack. If one falls into a rage that they cannot come down from...then send the half blood...a person such as me...someone whom has the form of the Fire Dire Wolf, and the form I have now, along with their own demonic power sealed in some kind of weapon...to put them down." As he spoke, the anger upon his tone had grown.
Nijuu gently placed her hand on Tynan's back....between his shoulder blades. She closed her eyes, and whispered something.
Cereza's ears flicked, and she growled lowly, which was replied by Tynan glaring at Cereza.
"You run a fool's errand, Cereza." Tynan snarled lowly, as he turned towards Nijuu. "I will not return to the pack. I refuse to do the bidding of your 'Alpha'."

Kye kept his arms crossed, "See.....you can't sway passion little wolf............"
