A slow day at the cafe. Very few customers, and a dull, somewhat dark atmosphere. Byrne, however, paid it no mind, going about his work in his usual cheerful, efficient manner. Just before closing time, however, a strange group of customers came in, and Byrne got a strange vibe from them. Speaking up a bit, he said "Hey guys, sorry, but we're closing in a minute. Think you could come back tomorrow?"
Suddenly, the one in the middle spoke, in a strangely raspy and slightly sickly-sounding voice. "No, I don't think that will be possible. See, we're hungry NOW!" Just as suddenly as he spoke, strange shapes of stained glass appeared in the air, and they looked like fangs. The glass fangs flew at Byrne, but barely missed as he ducked down, and Byrne leapt over the counter to try and get away, dashing past them and out the door.

Waylon walked in as Kivat flew around, "This is it," the bat stated.
Waylon looked the group, sighing, "Easy," he drew his Ixa Knuckle, firing a burst off at them from it.

Byrne stopped as he heard the sound of an impact, and turned to see what happened. "The 'ell just 'appened?" He said, as he heard a strange rattling sound behind him. Sort of like a chain being dragged along the ground, but more rhythmic, as if it was alive and moving itself.
Meanwhile, the Fangires revealed themselves as their leader was struck, two of the other five catching him before he fell, and the remaining three rushing in to attack the man who dared assault them.

"You should leave," he told Byrne as he ducked one's punch and rammed the Ixa Knuckle into it, "I'll protect you, just run."

As Byrne was about to respond, the chain sound stopped, and another voice chimed in. "Like hell he's gonna just cut and run! He'll fight just as well as you will, maybe better. Now, Bernard! You have your flute, right? Grab me, put me around your waist, and stick your finger in my mouth!"
Somewhat hesitantly, Byrne did as he was told, and felt a surge of energy as he did. "Now, stick your flute in my mouth, and yell 'Henshin!'" Again, Byrne listened, and as he did, a catchy tune played from the flute, and a multitude of chains flew out from the serpent's head, wrapping around Byrne and forming a set of armor. "Now, you're Cateno, the legendary hero of the Thirteen Wild Breeds! Go fight!"
In reaction, the two Fangires supporting the leader went to attack Byrne, whilst the other three continued to attack Waylon, one getting struck hard with the man's weapon.

Waylon looked up at him, "Fangire?" he questioned Cateno. He kicked one Fangire away and threw his hand out, "Bite!"
He was bitten. Kivat flew to his waist, forming his Dark Kiva armor. He punched one Fangire aside with the King's power before turning to look at Cateno.

Byrne looked back, confused, and responded "No. 'Uman." However, Auron chimed in again, this time with "Eeeeeeeeeh, wrongo. Only half human. The other half is Draeveran. But save the small-talk for later, these guys look angry. Insert the flute again! It'll call the power of an ally!" Again, Byrne listened, and a gunmetal gray wolf mask appeared before him, just large enough to fit the head of the creature around his waist. Placing it on, he changed again, this time metallic orange fur wrapping around him, and his new form resembled a wolf mixed with a cerberus, and had a pair of swords at his hips. "Whoooa. Cool."

As Dark Kiva worked his way through the Fangire, with his Ixa Knuckle, he glanced to Cateno, "Draeveran?"

As Byrne prepared to attack, Auron had just one more comment to make. "Oi batboy, explanations later, fight now! The Fangires are going to either run away, or get the jump on us, and I'd rather neither happen!" As Auron finished, Byrne dashed at the two that came at him, slicing them with his twin swords, and growled. In this form, it seemed that his animal instincts were increased, and his mind raced like a predator in the hunt.

Waylon kept a wary eye on Cateno as he punched through Fangires, pushing them past him with glancing blows, but letting his stature as Dark Kiva sink in on them. He wanted them to feel fear before he slew them and crushed their souls.
He whipped around, releasing a shockwave from his Ixa Knuckle to throw two aside, into the wall, breaking through it. He walked after those two.

Hot. So hot. His blood was burning. He could feel a surging power within him. It was intoxicating, and he was nearly lost in it, until Auron snapped him out of it. "Hey, kid! Snap out of it, or you're gonna get your ass kicked!Two on the left, and the boss to the rear. The grunts are weak, so just slice them, but the boss is gonna take an Eternity Rhythm. Slice down the grunts, then stick the flute in my mouth and let me do the rest." As Auron spoke, Byrne had already sliced down the two grunts, their bodies shattering into colored glass and their souls being absorbed into Auron's mouth. Following this, Byrne took the flute once more, and inserted it into the serpent's maw, the tune this time being the same as he used to call the wolf mask. The armor about him started to radiate an aura of power, and Byrne howled out with all of his breath, before savagely slicing the remaining Fangire to bits, and devouring the soul with the entirety of the armor.

Waylon's final opponent shattered from his dark powered Rider Punch, ending the immediate threat. But he turned to Byrne, lifting his still burning fist, "Just what are you?" he demanded.

Byrne was about to speak, but Auron interrupted, which Byrne didn't mind because the serpent apparently knew much more than Byrne did. "Okay batboy, time for talk. Byrne here's human, but only half. The other half is Draeveran, one of the Thirteen Wild Breeds, creatures quite similar to the Thirteen Demon Races that the Fangires all but obliterated. This transformation is a lineage from the first generation of his family, on his mother's side. And don't worry, our job's just local defense, so we won't be interfering in whatever you do with that scaaaaaary punch of yours.Unless, of course, you work for him. Then we'd have a problem. But, I doubt that."

"You're not a Fangire, then," he stated, "Well...never heard of it. If you were a Fangire...you would die."

Both responded at the same time "Nope, not a Fangire." as Byrne undid his transformation.
