The lights suddenly turned back on, to reveal the masked villain from a couple requests ago. Whoever took him in must have done quite the terrible job restraining him, as the easily-recognized Noh mask pointed to only one conclusion. "Ayakashi!!" The Sinese yelled out, identifying the sudden unwanted guest; immediately shooting out a spell his way, only to miss as the figure landed on stage swiftly; a magic circle prepared by his hand, aimed at the audience -- "...You lot!!" A mass of white light shot out at the crowd as they were held in shock; scared for a moment before the beam dispersed into thin air, as if swallowed into a pond. A defensive spell? "What!?"
"It's okay." Tomura whispered, using their positioning as to not let on what was happening; "Our team must have set up a defensive spell. We can go all out on this guy now." He hinted, drawing out his sword with a corny line about justice, delivered well in a spectacular and captivating way only a true actor would be capable of. Simply getting into stance as he stared at Ayakashi's massive stature, the protagonist too prepared to fight. "You will disturb this place no longer, Ayakashi!"
"You... This is your fault!!" The demon-esque man yelled out, lunging immediately at the duo as they split; barely avoiding the giant's blow. "(Darn!)" He thought to himself, turning to face the foe's back; "(This stage is too small to fight him! In the first place, he wasn't that big last time!!)" Though he had no room to protest against reality. Leaping forward, he aimed a solid palm strike at Ayakashi, only to behold as the giant disappeared right before getting hit. "This cheap magic again...!"
Before locating the foe however, "Gyaah!!" a loud scream in pain came from behind. Turning around to witness Ayakashi holding onto Matsukaze's throat with one hand, lifting him up and reaching to smash him into the ground. "Matsukaze!!" The Dragon Slayer called out, making a quick leap to soften the hit; getting slammed into by his partner. "Ungh... Sorry, Mister Jan Ren...!!" Clearly he was in no shape to fight; having even dropped his sword. Only having access to his spells and barely managing to stand up; the Sinese hurried to carry the other back from yet another oncoming onslaught from the villain, narrowly escaping. Though he was fueled by adrenaline, he too felt major pain in his abdomen as the slam held that much of an effect.
"Guess I'm on my own then...! Matsukaze, just watch." Letting his partner down, the young man faced his opponent and made a bold declaration for all the crowd to hear; "Ayakashi will touch not a single soul here anymore!!" In response, the villain broke out in a loud laugh, halted midway as he disappeared again; reappearing surely, somewhere in the area.
Jan Ren responded with an almost instinctive jump and a spinning kick, his foot connecting firmly against the giant's face, breaking the mask on immediate impact and knocking the foe out in one fell swoop and a loud yell. "...As I thought." He commented, watching as the giant fell to the floor. The battle had only just began, but ended in no time at all. Much easier than it was last time, apparently.
Retreated backstage by his partner and the manager, the supporting cast were left on stage to take care of the aftermath; Tomura himself returning to deliver his closing messages, shamed that he couldn't help or stay to thank his helper enough. Out in the back, Jan Ren received his pay upfront -- with an apology from the manager. Things definitely went out of hand this time... But all was good with the Sinese's help.
