Both of the men stood still but ready; staring each other down like two feuding cats. Ken estimated that this dove couldn't be any higher than second class. So he was pretty confident that he could handle anything that he could throw at him. Meanwhile Amon was much less optimistic. Eyepatch was a notorious SS rank ghoul who was known to have killed multiple CCG personal and was now believed to have a kakuja of some sort. Plus the battle field wasn't favorable as it would give the ghoul space to use its high speed and maneuverability to its full advantage. Still Amon mentally affirmed to himself that he would defeat this ghoul. Even if it took an arm or a leg, he would make certain to punish this monster for all the lives he had taken and families he had torn asunder. All he had to do was trust in his training and his quinque.

Ken gave a jovial smile, though it was impossible to see under the mask, and asked, "I guess it would be too much to ask of you to forget about me and the others and for you to just go back home for the night, huh?" the dove answered by simple increasing the hostility in his stare and tightening his grip on his briefcase. Ken sighed deeply and looked crestfallen. "That's what I thought. Oh well, you can't accuse me of not being reasonable with you."

The instant after he finished this line, Ken struck. He used his superior ghoul abilities to appear right in front of the other man and before he could react, slam his open palm into the others solar plexus. Amon was pushed back about half a foot and all the air was forced out of his lungs. He was barely able to stay standing as his knees tried to buckle. He did cough heavily though. But still he weathered the hit. Ken was honestly surprised by this. He cocked his left eyebrow up as he reevaluated the man. "Most impressive Mr. Dove. I was actually aiming to knock you out with that one blow. Things would be so much easier if you would just take a nap right now, don't you think?"

Amon gritted his teeth before charging at the ghoul. "Don't underestimate me!" he practically roared. For a few seconds the two jostled. Ken still pulled ahead in the spat but was pretty impressed by this dove. He certainly hadn't slacked off on his training as, despite the physical disadvantage between ghouls and humans, he was holding his own pretty well. After the two had broken away from each other, Ken tilted his head and replied, "Underestimate you? I was just paying you a compliment. Your ability to sufficiently fight a ghoul in hand to hand combat is quite amazing actually."

Amon's response was to scrunch up his face in disgust. "Being complemented by one of your kind makes me feel unclean. But since your feeling so talkative, there's something I've always wanted to ask you ghouls. To fulfil your desire to eat, you calmly murder innocent people. There are so many children who have lost their parents to your hands." He activated his quinque now. "The surviving people's feelings… sadness… loneliness…the empty lies. Have you ever imagined what it's like?" Amon waited for the ghoul's answer. Expecting some sick reasoning of the cheapness of human lives or something. But instead what happened was that the beast fell silent and seemed to quake a little.

Despite what some of his enemies liked to claim, Ken did in fact have feelings. He loved his family and friends. He felt happiness curling up with a good book. He felt scared of his sisters' disapproval when he screwed up. Sadness at the thought of his lost parents. And right now he felt rage over what this man had said. 'How dare you of all people say that, dove! What about my feelings of loneliness and sadness at the loss of my parents? What's the difference here?! Huh?!' he thought. However he didn't voice these questions. Too angry to talk, he brought out his kagune and prepared to end this in one attack.

He had been too soft on this man; letting his consciousness interfere too much. He could tell that overall this Amon person was a good man, if a little misguided on ghouls. Maybe in another world they could have been friends. But now he was an enemy who was interfering in the young half-ghoul's attempt to save the others from Mado's sick game. There was no more time to try and avoid giving the other too much serious injury. So he would use his full power to end this now and smash this dove's quinque then follow up with a powerful strike to his jaw. It would probably shatter his mandible and cause a few brain legions, but at least it would succeed in knocking the man out for a few hours and allowing Ken to continue on.

Amon at this time, could see the change in Eyepatch. Though he, like many of his compatriots, claimed that ghouls were unfeeling monsters, right now he recognized the anger radiating off of the other. It actually scared him a bit. Though he wouldn't let that show. He watched as the ghoul released its vile kagune and then set into a recognizable pose. It was a pose that he had seen multiple times during his research into Eyepatch and preparation for their eventual duel. 'He's going to go after my quinque,' Amon realized. So he also got into position.

In one instant both men made eye contact. In the next they charged forward. Ken swung down with all of his kagune aimed at one point on the other's quinque as Amon moved to block his attack with it. However what he didn't see as his kagune met the surface of the quinque was the grin on Amon's face.

Mado gave another one of his iconic smiles as he continued to hold poor Shiro in the air with one of the last remnants of her father. He looked to over to Hinami who was trembling on the ground at the sight of the man who had plagued her nightmares for weeks now. "It's been a while young Fueguchi," he stated as he then turned to the irate Touka. "And Yamaguchi? No that's a fake name. How about I call you…" he noticed the small rabbit keychain on her now destroyed phone. "Rabbit."

If looks could kill, then Touka would have murdered this man a thousand times over. She wanted to rip this man apart so badly. But right now she had to first save Shiro. The fact the man seemed to ignore the fact that he still had her impaled as some hostage only increased the loathing that Touka felt for this callous piece of human garbage. "Let her go," she ordered. "Hmmm?" She only felt more frustrated as the dove acted like he didn't hear her properly. "I said let Shiro go!" she shouted at him.

This time Mado openly laughed at her. "Ah, sorry sorry. I forgot entirely about you, Sasaki-chan." He looked her over as he observed, "So you're called Shiro huh? Not the most imaginative name is it?" He suddenly noticed something as he yanked the girl closer to him. Shiro could only squeak in fear and barely keep from fainting over the pain and how the dove now brought her face to face with him. Eye to eye. His creepy grin only got wider. "Ah so that's how Eyepatch got around the gate," he stated as he truly noticed the two mismatched eyes of the young she-ghoul. "So you really were hybrids. Oh, the researchers back at headquarters would be drooling over you and your siblings. Hmm I wonder if I could get them to dissect you and your sister as your brother was forced to watch. I bet his face would be spectacular." However his face soon changed into one of disgust. "Still to think that you're whore of a mother would sleep with beasts like ghouls. Truly one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard of. As if it wasn't enough of a problem when they breed, now we have to deal with abominations like you."

"Don't," Shiro painfully whispered. She now stared down the dove despite the fact that she was still very much afraid. Part of her wanted to curl up into a ball and give up or panic. But a bigger part of her could not let what he said go unchallenged. Whether it was simply pride or her love for her family she didn't know. She grabbed onto the quinque in her stomach and tried to futilely pull it out as she now yelled back, "Don't you dare disrespect my family! My siblings and I are not abominations! My father was a not a beast! And my mother… my mother was a way better human than you'll ever be!" Mado just looked at her like she had offended him somehow before he forced the quinque to wiggle and twist in her gut; causing more pain to the girl as her screams now filled the tunnel. Hinami shrunk to the ground as she covered her ears to try and block out the screams while Touka proclaimed, "You bastard!" and charged at Mado. The man just grinned again as he flung the quinque pierced girl he held into the wall of the tunnel and activated one of the other quinque's he'd brought for the battle. The spiked tentacle of the new quinque flew towards the Ukaku ghoul.

The now released Shiro, with the red rinkaku still embedded in her gut, slammed heavily into the wall. Causing it to crack. She slumped onto the ground unmoving as her blood leaked out around her body.

Ken's kagune slashed into the club like quinque Amon favored. However, instead of breaking, the club actually survived the blow. "What?!" Ken couldn't stop from crossing his lips. However he wasn't given any time to think as in the next instant the dove roared a mighty battle cry before swinging for the opening he had waited for. Ken blocked it with his arm but he felt the bone inside crack. But Amon didn't stop. He swung again and again; knowing that if he paused for one second, this ghoul would that opportunity to kill him. He thought back to what doctor Chigyou had explained to him when he was selected among those going to the thirteenth ward suppression mission.

"An opening after he breaks the quinque?"

"Hai, watching videos taken of some of his battles, you can see how Eyepatch uses the full force of his kagune in that attack. So there is an opening for a few seconds afterwards where his entire front is unguarded. If taken advantage of, then even a novice investigator could score a powerful blow against him. Well it's not like such a powerful move could be done without some risk after all."

Amon watched as Chigyou played a recording of the attack on a screen they were sitting in front of. He also noticed how the unfortunate investigator in the tape was also cut down shortly afterwards by the ghoul. Confused he asked, "But how exactly am I supposed to take advantage of an attack made specifically to break my weapon. If it really was as easy as you make it out to be, then we wouldn't have lost so many talented individuals to him already."

Chigyou was waiting for him to ask that. He grinned as he pulled out a marker and went to the dry erase board nearby to explain the plan to Amon. "You see here, it's all in how he breaks them. It's my belief that Eyepatch is targeting the grain of the quinque. You see kagune, and by extension the quinque they are reformed into, are basically just large muscles. And as such, they have a grain, or the direction in which the muscle fibers align. While still needing a large amount of power, it is much easier to cut with the grain instead of against it. Which also means it will save energy and strength that Eyepatch wouldn't want to waste in a battle. So, taking this into consideration I designed the cross stitch design."

"Cross stitch design?" Amon asked. "Yes," the head research clarified, "Simply put we layered the quinque in a way so that the grain reverses back and forth inside the weapon; giving the grain a cross or x like shape. This theoretically should strengthen your quinque and make it more durable even if he tries to cut it against the grain. Unfortunately this technology is limited as the procedure is both costly and time consuming. There is also an almost 60% chance of total failure in the manufacturing or upgrading process that could result in the complete loss of the quinque. Though koukaku quinque have a much higher percentage of surviving at 47%. So we ask of you, investigator first class Koutarou, will you accept this request to use an untested design to bring down Eyepatch?"

'HIT! HIT! HIT!' Amon put all of his being into trying to hit Eyepatch. He knew he had only a minute, maybe two, before the ghoul could fully recover. Already Eyepatch was dodging his assaults faster and with more ease then when he started. He also started to counter a bit. But Amon kept close to the ghoul as he still seemed to have problems with close range combat. He dodged another strike before accusing, "You and that other ghoul, rabbit. That bitch killed one of my allies just days ago. Why was he killed? Because he was an investigator? Because he was human? Don't fuck with me! There was no reason for his death?! This world is wrong! And you ghouls are what is corrupting it!"

Amon moved swung his club at Ken again. Ken successfully dodged but was obviously a bit more sluggish. Unknown to the other, Amon's words had struck his opponent in more ways than one. Ken felt saddened, at how right the man was that the world was corrupted. A bit of guilt for most of those he had killed in his short life, and frustration at how, not just this man, but humanity in general loved to place all the blame on the ghouls. Was it really only the ghouls' fault that the world was so messed up? These thoughts and feelings weighed heavily on the half-ghoul; causing his reactions to be slowed. It also made him miss something important about his surroundings.

As he stepped back from another swing, Ken stepped into a puddle and slipped. Now completely off balanced, Ken was at Amon's mercy. And so Amon swung down with righteous fury upon the villain before him.

I hope the action scenes are good here. The idea of a modified quinque is something that Ive been floating around for a while now. thought it would be a good way to make the fight not too one sided. Suprise is a good tatic in battle afterall. I thought that that mixed with Kaneki's emotions would give Amon a fighting chance. If only for a few minutes. As for Mado V Touka... well youll have to wait and see.
