Ryu transformed into Thrilling Prince, Battle Lover Vesta. He was redressed in his battle attire but he was still on the ground. He could at least feel better knowing he was not naked anymore. He pointed his scepter at them as he got up and backed away toward the way he came. He just wanted to leave the area and never return. The three rapists were stunned for a minute. They saw someone transform into a magic boy. Even his face and voice was distorted. This is something that only happened in anime(although no one would admit that they ever saw an anime like that).The one with a beanie walked up toward him. "What the hell is this. You want to say you're straight still" he said incredulously. Ryu told him to stop but he just kept walking. He then lunged at Ryu but as a Battle Lover he was too quick. Ryu sidestepped him and hit him with the scepter right between the eyes and he went down holding his face and groaning. The other two were angry. All they wanted was to hang out with the boy, and maybe, something else after. The one with glasses said "You're dead now pretty boy!" and they both charged. Ryu tried to stop them by using his powers "Vesta Ignit!" he yelled.
Vesta Ignit is a blast of fire that he can shoot out of his Love Stick, Blazing Ignit. A pink stream of super hot flames is a way to defeat the weekly monsters that seem to infest the school's student body. On its own it does not do that much damage. Working together and combining their attacks is what usually allows the Battle Lovers to triumph over the monster and the masters controlling them. Monsters can take a couple hits before the final blow comes. Humans are not Monsters. Humans are comparatively frail and weak. Ryu might have realized this subconsciously, but in his desperation and lack of experience using his powers on those without, he totally did not think about the consequences.
The fire flew toward the two and the leader was able to step to the side to avoid a direct hit the one wearing the glasses was not so lucky. He was consumed by the pink flames so fast he did not have a chance to cry out. The screams came from the leader whose arm got caught by the beam. He shook off his jacket and started rolling on the ground. Ryu was very shaken and was about to run away when the third member grabbed his ankle from his position on the ground. "You killed Matsuda, you fucker. I am going to kill you!". He fell and lost his grip on Blazing Ignit. It clattered and skid across the ground. They looked at each other for a second that for them felt like ten minutes, and scrambled for it. Ryu reached it a split second quicker but was tackled to the ground before he could do anything. The assailant started to choke him as hard as he could to end the fight as quick as possible. Ryu could feel himself fading and so with the last energy he had, he swung Blazing Ignit in an arc toward his head. It connected with a loud crack against his temple. Some blood splattered on his clothes and face. The man then collapsed on top of him. Ryu had to catch his breath before he could push the heavy body off of him. By the time he was able to get to his feet he was covered in blood. He looked around him and he saw what hell must be. He saw three bodies not moving on the ground. He smelled blood and burning flesh and hair. He could hear the flames still roaring. He could taste his own blood pooling his mouth from the beating he took. And how did he feel? Awful? He threw up and it stung his throat and his stomach ached as it aggravated his wounds. His vomit had pieces of his lunches and splashes of blood mixed in here and there. He started to stumble away before his vision started to blur and darken. He made it to almost the end of the alley before he passed out. "Help me".
