'the bar'

[Rino]

"Is this the plan?" Rino cackled as he leapt into the air, roundhousing Austin to the head, undeterred by his aggressive punches. "Jump around me and attack one by one? It's like a bad kung fu movie!"

"Not that I got to see many Kung Fu movies. Back in my day, we didn't have any. And then I missed the whole Bruce Lee phase, what with being trapped for eternity inside a sword!" He growled at Austin, grabbing a flaming rafter and hurling it at him.

"Of course, it turns out eternity isn't quite as eternal as previously thought. I'm back!" He grinned. "And this time, you won't stop me."

[Jaden Kalen]

Jaden joined the others putting one of his guns away and drawing the knife Ara had given him, "Guys any ideas?" He asked.

[Austin]

Austin blocked the blazing rafter before nudging Azrael
"He's talking to himself again.."
he turned to Jaden
"the plan is we try and get out of here alive"

[Jaden Kalen]

"Ah good plan... but how do we do that?" Jaden asked, "Oh to hell with this" He said charging into Rino Shooting and trying to stab him with the knife. He did not care what harm may come to him just that with this opportunity the others might be able to escape.

[Azrael Jiraco]

Azrael did not like the move Jaden made... Whether it allowed the rest to get away or not. Azrael had lost enough friends for one day. Azrael Picked up a strong table leg, and helped Jaden.

"Jaden, stop this attack, the time to leave is now!"

[Rino]

Rino turned to Jaden, and vanished.

He reappeared behind him in a flash of teleportation, before unleashing a fireball into his back.

"You forgot I could do that, didn't you?" He sneered at Austin. "Teleportation, fireballs...these are but children's toys against what is coming."

He smiled again.

"Come on, now, noble warriors. It's been too long since we've had a good Apocalypse!"

[Hope Mêler]

"Oh, just... get out!" Hope yelled as she walked across the room to help the others with Rino. Her foot was hurting like hell, but she figured it'd be easier to sell the "nice Hope" if she made some sacrifices.

"You've shown us how strong you are," she continued. "That is what you came for, right? We've seen it now, so get out." She pointed her finger at the door.

[Azrael Jiraco]

If that works, I'm going to hate everything!

Azrael stood ready with his pitiful table leg for Rino's next move.

[Rino]

The door Hope was pointing at collapsed in in the blaze, causing Rino to smirk.

"I'm not here to show off my power." Rino replied casually, dodging more falling rubble. "I'm here to kill you all. I had this whole plan laid out, but, y'know, got bored. So if you're thinking I'm just gonna leave you lying on the floor unconcious to come back and take revenge, you've got another think coming."

"Now, where were we? Oh yes."

He charged at Azrael, bringing his fist down at his face.

[Austin]

Austin reacted just slightly slower than Rino, diving to place himself in between Azrael and Rino - his reactions were fast enough that he could block some of Rino's punches and Rino couldn't crush his skull.

[Hope Mêler]

"I had to try," Hope shrugged at Azrael and sighed. She didn't really think Rino would kill them all now, but if he had decided to do so she suspected that she'd be among the casualties.

"Who wants to get out of here?" She mumbled to herself as she watched Austin dodge Rino's punches. They should be leaving about now, but Austin was busy and she doubted Jaden and Azrael would leave without him.

Damn loyalty, she thought, looking for a way out. There didn't seem to be any. Okay. Dammit.

Hope started walking towards Rino and Austin, deciding it was the best (or worse) thing to do at the moment. She picked up a glass on the way, and stopped when she got behind the demon. "Don't mess with my boss, you idiot," she said casually and smashed the glass at the back of his head. "We're leaving now."

[Rino]

Rino, without a thought, kicked backwards into Hope, sending her rocketing through the wall.
"Yeah, I guess you are." He snarled, deciding that at least now his employee was safe.

He grabbed one of Austin's incoming hits, and drove his own punch into Austin's arm, before rebounding and elbowing him to the face.

"But I dunno about this one. He seems the stupid type. Punch bag." Rino said casually, hitting him again.

[Azrael Jiraco]

Azrael came down on Rino's attacking arm with the table leg, hoping to gain his attention so he'd stop hitting Austin.

[Austin]

Austin absorbed the punches, something he had always been good at, all the while looking for an opening that he could take advantage of. When Azrael swung with the table leg, Austin took his chance and fired a jumping roundhouse kick at Rino's head.

[Jaden Kalen]

Jaden stumbled forwards his Jacket on fire. He turned around to look at Rino pulling off the still flaming leather jacket, "That was my favorite coat" He said. Then he turned to Azrael, "We have to get out. We don't want to die here today and this bloke seems strong. We'll kill him another day" Said Jaden lifting his colt and shooting the window to the pub, the window shattered. "As good an exit as any" He said to them all.
