Lined up horizontally in front of the double door entrance. Olivia, Pyoko, Juno, and Izial—mission ready with their dark colored, police-style uniforms—they await Okira Marshall's orders, and her arrival.
Strutting down the halls..A 6'4, bald, white skinned woman with a muscular slim-thick build. Her casual attire consists of baggy silk sweatpants with a sleeveless compression shirt on top. Showcasing her distorted, shadow-like tattoos that are in the form of flames running up the entirety of her arm. She eventually reaches the four lined up and faces them, eyes permanently shut as usual, but somehow is still able to see them all. Okira's voice, powerful and calm, sends attention towards her with ease. "Good morning you four..I have notified you about a mission last night, glad to see you all here and prepared.", She begins. "This mission was last minute, so sorry. But recurring sights of angels raiding the island across from Kings' peak have been witnessed and reported. You must rid of all angels around the island and protect the remaining lives in hiding if any. Understood?". Collectively, All four juniors yell, "Yes Miss Mari!" with a nod. "And also," Okira starts to add, "This mission will be a tester for you guys before your true mission next week. But just because it's a tester doesn't mean it'll be easy, this is still life or death people. Get that in your heads… Yuri can open a portal to the location of the island. Head to her immediately.".
…
The place across from King's Peak, where our four juniors are heading, is a well-sized island. Home to tens of cities and millions of people, this piece of land was once close to being a famous landmark, due to its view of King's Peak. Many that are too poor to arrive at King's peak would use this spot as an alternative. That was until, angels who have identical features began raiding the island of its people for the neverending war against Hell.
Izial, Olivia, Pyoko, and Juno step through a portal made from technology as it spirals shut behind them.
Juno: With the ability to create life and organic matter, she is a six foot, young lady who possesses dark chocolate skin and an afro so large, it covers up the top half of her face, though it doesn't hinder her sight at all. And her uniform? Completely sleeveless. Taken inspiration from Miss Mari's casual attire.
Their portal transported them in an alleyway of a ruined city that Juno leads out of, soon to be followed by the rest, as a voice shoots past the team.
"This place is a ghost town in all honesty, no way anyone survived here…"
Pyoko: A 5'6, pale skinned young lady with a petite body build that has muscular accents, wearing short black hair that spikes up and ink that runs through the body in bold fashion. Despite her build…the current form she is in drastically changes her personality and overall physicality to be able to keep up with the rest of her group without the use of her puppets for assistance. For additional leeway, she had also recommended a custom made, high caliber, lightweight, double barrel laser pistol for herself to be used in missions; Snake eyes
From the backside of her body, a wooden puppet with no face digs out of Pyoko's spirit. Jumping out behind her. As if showcasing itself, it stands there crooked before jumping hundreds of feet into the air. It searches. It lands. It vanishes. "Nothing." Pyoko says, "We must keep moving. I'd say we split up, we'll cover more ground in groups of two. What do you guys think?". "Mmm…I agree." Pyoko, glad someone is agreeing, turns to who said it.
Izial: A 6'4 slender young man with blonde hair and black brown eyes who has taken the time to put as much muscle on his body as he can during his 3 month training with his peers. While not as successful as he thought he would be, Izial began working on his spiritual connection, meditating for hours a day, strengthening the bond between mind and soul. He wields an animalistic, cold-blooded type curse that allows him to transform into reptiles and amphibians, or hybrids of those animals, granting him an increase in power, mind, and/or physical prowess, depending on the animal chosen.
Izial's eyes change into that of a reptiles. Thanks to his spiritual training, his eyes are now able to see through solid objects that are within his range, that being 5 miles as of now. He scans around, causing further agreement in Pyoko's idea of splitting up as he sees no sign of life elsewhere in the area. It wasn't long after Izial's scan that a figure crash-landed a few meters away from the group, forcing heavy winds to be sent at them, only to be blocked by a giant circular, tan colored shield.
"Guys..I don't think splitting up is an option now. We have company."
Olivia: A 5'6, just turned, 18 year old young lady who possesses a curvy type body with tangly, orange hair that sits down in a fro…which she tends to every month. Her skin is light—appearing almost white—and her facial features are full. Freckles are also seen across her body as well as different scars, each telling a fine story. Olivia has the power to access an armory of ancient weapons and artifacts through the mind. This forces time to slow down to a close stop as she chooses her wanted item inside the armory, materializing it in her physical hand in real time.
The dust clears. Meanwhile, Olivia still holds the shield up while simultaneously, Izial transforms his eyes again, scanning through the shield. What he sees however.. A typical angel. Just one. Its golden, feathery wings flap gently along the wind's current, he slicks his short hair back with a wicked grin and turns his neck towards the shield, now beginning to walk towards it. "How long are you gonna hide behind that shield!?!?? If you come out carefully, I'll kill you quick! A favor, if I'm being honest!" The angel stops, just meters away from our Juniors. Olivia lowers the protection. "Ahh! Four of you! ..My name is Jufuku.." he assesses the teams' outfit. "Guards? Aren't you guys a little too young for this field of sacrifice?" The angel's face widens a smile ear to ear. "Well it doesn't matter! You humans choose to send children to death? Then so be it..!". Jufuku speeds in. In response, the juniors spread out with Pyoko shooting lasers for support. Jufuku dodges with no effort. Then suddenly blocks an upcoming kick from Izial, throwing him away. And a punch from Olivia, also tossing her to the side. His eyes set on Juno, and her eyes back at him.
They rush each other and meet in the middle with a clash of fists cratering the surrounding area slightly, Pyoko still firing lasers; projectiles soar past Jufuku, but hitting him as they do so. Juno breaks the clash and swipes a barrage at the angel, meanwhile Izial and Olivia come zig-zagging on both sides of Jufuku. The angel uses its wings to block Pyoko shots, parries a kick, blocks a jab, and palms Juno's chest to fly her back. Olivia flanks behind Jufuku and smacks his body upward in the air. Without wasting time, she jumps up to his level, summoning a large hammer, Olivia slams the angel down. Right under, Izial charges a fist that shines a dim grey—his soul. At the right time, Izial steps back into a straight punch that lands strong on Jufuku, blasting him between several skyscrapers, pancaking each he flies through. "Damn, these kids pack a punch! More than I was originally thinking…GOOD!!" Jufuku lifts the ruble above him. Eyes magnify in joy. All four juniors are already closing in hot from within the stratosphere. Starting from the elbow, tight vines wrap around the arms of Juno, followed by a thicker coat that takes the shape of gauntlets. They don spiral designs that glow a jade green. She extends outwards, growing vines from her weapon's fingertips, Juno pulls herself to the ground at high speeds, landing near Jufuku first as they begin dancing around death in acrobatic nature, failing to deliver killing blows to one another.
Jufuku tackles a chance for a low kick, but Juno parries. She then slaps his upcoming fist away, ducks under his straight while missing one of her own, and finally gets sent staggering back from the angel's double fist; she blocked it. Pyoko throws herself at Jufuku for the assist, using her puppets to do so as she drags the rest of them down with her. Pyoko kicks Jufuku away, skipping him across the ground while Olivia and Izial run to deal more damage. Pyoko and Juno do the same. Jufuku recovers in time to block Izial's slash with a wing and slide under Olivia's mace swing. He then jumps to dodge a sweep and with that he also bounces off of Olivia's shield, gaining distance in the air. Pyoko shoots at him, but it's ineffective as he blocks with his wings; a simple swipe. Juno then punches the ground with her gauntlets, sending vines to grab the angle and pull him down to the floor. The junior guards all fall in as they prepare to attack Jufuku all at once. The angel can't help but smirk. He crosses his arms and allows them to get close. Once they do so, Juno, Izial, Olivia, and Pyoko all attack. Suddenly, four identical bodies of Jufuku simultaneously crawl out of his body. North, South, East, and West they appear, punching each of the junior guards, completely catching them off guard as each of them fly back with Jufuku's clones following. Now there's five of them. The main one, who is still trapped by the vines, frees himself with a wobble. "Now things are getting more interesting! …Finally! I can let loose a little!".
Jufuku breaks the sound barrier a plethora of 50 times as he flashsteps his way back into battle. Making his way to Izial first, one of Jufuku's clones blocks a side swipe, then misses his own punch while continuing with trading missed blows from the other. The original body, out of nowhere, flies in with a winged-propelled kick to Izial's sternum. It knocks him through a ruined clock tower before the original Jufuku helps out his other clones. He then targets Olivia. Defending against a clone, she leans from a kick, spins away and blocks the following one as well with her shield, though the impact sent her back a bit. She misses a mace swing, pivots her foot and redirects it around the other side of the clone, cracking his ribs and knocking him feet back. Jufuku, the original, swings wide at Olivia with an upcoming lariat. Luckily, she held her shield up just in time. Jufuku drags Olivia by her shield throughout the city. Not before long, Olivia manages to break it apart, crashing them both in an abandoned school. Pyoko soon catches up to Olivia, then Izial, who is covered in reptilian-like scales with his hands blood-coated as well. "Where's Juno?" Olivia asks, pushing debris off of her, standing up as Jufuku does the same. Pyoko rushes over along with Izial and assists Olivia up with an answer, "She stayed behind fighting two at once, wanted me to help you out instead.". Olivia wipes blood from her nose and strikes a glare at Jufuku, "Alright. Well in the meantime, let's make waste of this one, and fast!". Pyoko and Izial nod in agreement.
"OH!! You three believe you're at an advantage??" Jufuku smiles, and out from his body, an ocean wave of clones swarm around the school. As the wave begins to form, Izial turns invisible and crawls upward while Olivia blocks both her and Pyoko from the wave's constant impact with a large circular shield. Olivia keeps the shield up, and in the meantime, Pyoko shoots clones with her pistol and hits them away with her puppets simultaneously. "Damn!" Olivia happily grunts, "We have to kick it up a notch, don'tcha think, Pyo!?". "Agreed." She responds. Pyoko dials up Snake eye's power output and fires a massive laserbeam, disintegrating a handful of clones with each shot. "And uhhh…also, you might wanna duck.", Olivia's hands shine a dim white and the air around her and Pyoko denses up. Pyo ducks down. Materializing out from thin air, Olivia summons a massive greatsword and spins around. Her movement, creating a 360 degree slash, it sends a circular energy wave slash that not only kills a ton of Jufuku's clones, but it also levels the four-story school, forming it to just be only a story tall.
Juno, who, in the midst of Olivia's attack, blocks the upcoming forceful wind after she had got done smashing the two clones' heads together with her gauntlets. Juno grows a beanstalk to overcome the dust cloud that the destruction of the school made, and then she darts to the rest of her team's location from there. Before Juno had reached the school, a swarm of Jufuku's clones explode out from the roof, carrying all four of our junior guards upward. Our juniors all held their own while Izial and Juno managed to find each other in the middle of the commotion. With her gauntlets, Juno swipes vines at the clones which kills them easily enough for her to make an opening. Juno then launches Izial through all the clones and down back to the ground.
Through the cracks of the dog pile where Izial is, the inside shines a dark grey as consecutive reptilian slashes take away the bottom half of the tsunami Jufuku's clones had formed, revealing Izial in one of his fully humanoid-reptile forms. This time, Izial dons on tough alligator scales. Jufuku and his lookalikes barely began to fall as Juno and the others appeared next to Izial and huddled in close. Pointing up in the air and pulling back on her arm, a green, flame-like arrow materializes and illuminates on the back of Juno's arm as she aims. The young woman sighs. "Here goes…..REBIRTH SHOT!!" The arrow goes airborne toward the descending clones…once the flame made contact, a chain reaction engulfs them all in the green fire momentarily before every single body up there is broken down and turned into flower petals. All but one, the real one. Jufuku, utilizing his wings, hovers in the same spot. Blood rushes over his head, it's clear that he's injured. Exhausted, Jufuku weakly flies away, still at great speeds. Pyoko aims Snake Eyes at the fleeting angel, but Juno stops her. "If he knows what's good for him, he won't be coming our way again anytime soon...."

Location: National Guard Headquarters
"Why do you have us following you to Yuri's workshop? We are supposed to be training for the mission, you know that, right?", says K'yun towards Ex, as he strides alongside Ulagur behind him. "Yeah, we can get back to that in a minute, mudball. I just need something from here first, a little patience won't hurt ya now, will it?". It wasn't long before the three reached the doors to Yuri's workshop, opening them, Ex searches for her seat, but off in the near distance, someone shouts, "OVER HERE EX.." in a very mellow toned voice. They walk to where the noise struck from to see Yuri waiting on them, preferably Ex-Shin, with a sealed metal box as a case to hold in what's inside.
Yuri Laxatus: A 5'6 powerhouse of the mind. Yuri wears herself neatly trimmed, wavy black hair that droops down to the shoulders. Her skin takes the color of well-polished wood and glasses are worn as well. Her blessing is the creation of portals. By knowing or remembering what a place looks like, Yuri can open up portals to said locations. Though Yuri is not as capable as her peers to continuously perform missions. Her space is mainly here in the workshop. Yuri has one of the greatest minds in the world, top 10 in all of modern history. She is usually lazy when it comes to doing anything else but engineering and science…..
"I believe these are for you, sir", Yuri says to Ex-Shin, handing him the metal case. "I remember what you wanted me to do with these yo-yos! I changed the string on both yo-yos to be thinner but as well as tougher than the last strings. These new ones can hold up heavy objects, and I made the yo-yos able to auto retract back to your hand so it's easier for you to attack faster. And last but not least, I changed the overall look and material composition of them!". Ex lifts up the case's cover to show his new recommendation. The yo-yos, now spherical in shape, look to be made out of a rare metal alloy, one without name. The intricate designs produces a maze all around the spheres' surfaces, the divots pulse an eerie nightshade color, and the strings are attached to a ring made out of nanotechnology. "And did I mention, that if you hit the yo-yos against an object hard enough, they will showcase a shockwave effect?" Yuri smiles. Abruptly, an earpiece that Yuri has on speaks up. It's Olivia, "Hey Yuri! Can you portal us back? Mission is complete!!!"
Back at the broken city….as they wait shortly for their portal, Olivia sighs and Juno walks up to her playfully, nudging her shoulder with an elbow. "Sooo….you and Ex, huh?"
