Bust out Queen Bee to the awakening. Alice at work. Skelter with Brit. Recruit Sera.

As Sera entered the alleyway, it was indeed empty. But there was something ominous in the background, a feeling that wasn't easy to put a finger on. If there was one thing for certain, her spine and her gut were telling her that it was dangerous. After all, this was night, the only time of day when demons roam the very city. It was her choice if she wished to continue. On the other hand, Frog could feel a familiar otherworldly presence past the wall he was hiding behind. It would be easy to scale over it through Shadow Accel should he choose to do so...

Demon instead, feasting on a body as usual.

As Sera continued into the streets, a wet sound squelched into the alleyway. The acrid scent of iron tickled her nostrils. But what she saw was horrifying. What appeared to be a heavy set man at first would be inconsequential to most. However, there were glowing sickly lesions spreading through his skin and a ghastly smile flashing teeth at her. Whispers began to flood her very ears, overwhelming her and it would seem her very existence was at stake.  A seed was beginning to sprout, born in her consciousness, and planted several years ago. However, it just wasn't there yet... For the moment, a dull ache and the voices in her head was all that heralded her incoming awakening.

The creature paused when the Psyche-Terrorist arrived to the scene. Frog would notice it was a dog-like creature, nothing all too special from the rest. But it would salivate at his and Sera's direction. But even behind them, something was rustling in the distance...

Even as the Psyche-Terrorist was at work dealing with the camera, the demented man's smile just deepened even further. While the camera was dealt with, the man's fist was already being thrown at Frog. Whether or not it hit, he would follow after Frog, forcing both of them away from Sera. However, the rustling behind Sera grew and something flew over the asphalt before pinning itself onto her. What Frog would see was a dog-like demon salivating over the reporter. But what she would see was a shadowy black mass causing the voices in her head to surge and overwhelm her entirety. Her sense of self was compromised--gone. Yet, there was still the seed that finally sprouted after all of these years. The burst of power erupted and forced the demon off her... only to notice a change in the woman.

Soon after, there would be a gun thrown at their feet complete with a set of magazines to lock and load...

The demon that once towered under her can now be seen in its true form. And just like its earlier action, it did not appear at all friendly either...

As the final blow was made and flew true, the rotund man crumbled to the asphalt like strings cut from a puppet face first. Gone was the oppressive sensation that hung in the atmosphere and so was the incessant chuckling and laughter. Only a small empty pill bottle rolled out of their thick hand as they remained on the floor. The Psyche-Terrorists can now notice a distinct humming sound in the distance that was gradually getting louder until someone dropped down in front of the duo on their feet.
