The monster howled in pain as it's lumbering limb planted on the ground oozing blood. It's three heads snarled at once at Kobeni as it's long intestine like tail hovered above the skeleton like structure protecting it's body resembling an exposed spine and ribcage of the animal it's supposed to be a mockery of. She brought the mundane kitchen knife to her chest pointing at the beast, she took steps sideward to circle it finding an opportunity to dash out of the open gate of the warehouse.

"They're not paying me enough for this, this is the fifth time I found a devil in this place when I'm not supposed to fight them!" She cried in Japanese. While she tried to escape the devil hunter life, she still found herself fighting devils in jobs she wasn't supposed to.

Wednesday had seen enough and unsheated Muninn from it's scabbard. The same sword she used to kill Crackstone, the same sword her father was accused of murdering Garrett Gates with. It's blade now rejoined and bewitched by Goody with great durability and sharpness shone in the rainfall with a purple metallic tint and fire. She drew the sword infront of her chest not taking her eyes off of the creature and girl.

"Are we seriously going to fight that thing?!" Enid shouted "You know, instead of running away?!"

"Yes"

"Oh for fucks sake Wednesday, do you remember how many times you nearly died because of the same reason?"

"It's actually just 3. First is facing Tyler unarmed, second is my duel with that pilgrim nutjob and the time I killed that Wendigo in the woods.. So not that much"

Enid rolled her eyes as she partially transformed her hands into that of her wolf form. Becoming larger and hairy blonde that ended with her recognizable multi colored claws. The wolf girl crouched slightly and bared her claws outwards her face, preparing to fight.

Enid closed her eyes and sighed a deep breath of annoyance. "If you can only make a living hunting monsters or demons"

Kobeni caught a glimpse of the duo at the corner of her eye. She found it strange for what she assumed were two teenage foreigners in school uniform standing in the rain one in purple, one in black to be in a place like this armed. Perhaps they were devil hunters for hire she questioned. Not taking her eyes off the monster she shouted to them from her back if they were hunters.

Enid and Wednesday were left confused. They could understand and speak Japanese but what the woman called them made no sense, devil hunter? public safety? privately hired? devils?!
They were definitely nowhere near home as Wednesday's gut feeling told her.

Kobeni found an opportunity to bolt outside the gate with the creature pouncing after her and smashing through the half open entrance sending debris and shards of steel flying out to their vicinity, forcing the women to duck. The gloomy light under the rain uncloaked it's true size, it is that of a cargo truck with it's foul brown fur coated with grime and blood glistering as it met the rain drops with it's overall form resembling a demonic rodent. The Rat Devil shrieked an ear piercing cry that shook the trio to their bones to summon up a swarm of rabid hostile rats then continued it's assault on it's prey.

"Ignis!" Wednesday shouted as her blade engulfed in amethyst flames then charged forward mirroring Kobeni on the right. She quickly evaded the demon's paw and swiftly separated it from it's arm as Kobeni leapt from the nearby mound of crates and transport vehicles to lunge at it's back, slicing it's incoming tail followed by her feet meeting it's "spine".

The devil quickly regrowed it's missing paw and struck Wednesday once more, she parried blow after blow from the sickle like claws that had enough force to send an unenhanced human flying or getting minced by it.

"gladius!" she held out her palm as a spectral sword of purple manifested in it, gripping it tightly she used it to slash the beast whenever she blocked it's attacks with Muninn. Carving an impressive amount of wounds at the creatures body as her enchanted blade ignored the skeletal armor.

The warehouse parking lot transformed into a colosseum as Kobeni, Wednesday and Enid hacked and stabbed at the devil along with it's rodent minions as the rain stopped giving way to the setting sun. But despite their best efforts, the monster quickly healed it's injuries at a pace they could simply not cope with.

Asa Mitaka scrubbed her shoes against the concrete walkway as she limped from exhaustion. The blood dripping from her nose ceased as her injuries healed, she was battered up. Tired and hungry after earlier's incident putting her at the verge of death again, If she wasn't miraculously saved by the devil she's trying to find and hunt down she would have died for good in the belly of the Bat Devil with Yuko if Yoru couldn't do anything about it.

"I can't fucking believe we got saved by Chainsaw Man!" The War Devil yelled at Asa frustrated by the fact that her nemesis saved her.
"After what he had done to me! That piece of shit had the balls to save me?!" She gritted her teeth in fury. Her blood red eyes fixed at her host, her multi ringed irises burned like hellfire.

"And don't think you have nothing to be blamed for, girl!. If you have just listened to my instructions to kill blondie and turn her into a weapon we wouldn't end up in this mess!"

"I thought you hated having friends!? I thought you wanted to live more selfishly!?"

Asa could not find herself barking back. She was right, all her life she avoid socialization because she believed that people will eventually stab you in the back or die on you, she fought the thought of her wanting companionship. A life of solitude and selfish desire is all she wants…

Yoru suddenly stopped her rant as she caught the scent of battle and murder in the air. she could almost taste the bloodshed in the wind, her lips formed a smirk of bloodlust.
Asa's body jerked as she was forced out of it, with Yoru now in control she darted to her right to the brush with Asa in her spectral form tailing the War Devil. Yoru's bangs and low tied pigtails bounced as she lept from rock to rock, branch to branch. Her school issued black pinafore dress blended like shadow against the dark leaves.

Wednesday failed to parry the monster's tail as it sent her flying across the parking lot and slammed against one of the transport trucks parked there. Her knees went weak as air was forced out of her lungs, she used Muninn as leverage to make her regain balance, stand up and prepare to attack once again. Kobeni in the other hand struggled to keep the rats off her while evading the swipes of the devil, and Enid unconscious on the other side of the "arena". They were losing the fight until…

"Eraser Grenade!" someone shouted from the woods. Then suddenly the Rat Devil was consumed in an explosion that made it howl in agony, it's fur was on fire and it's minions reduced to ash or boiling gore. It stood up on it's hind legs and snarled at the trees to face it's new attacker.

"Eraser Grenade!" another explosion went off in it's face. And from the flames, Yoru lunged with the blade of the sword the devil hunter club gave Asa on her shoulder. She swung the blade forward and cleanly bisected the rat monster from it's snout down to it's chest with the audible spliting of flesh and bone. She swiftly chopped it's arms then slashed it's chest in fifteen different angles before it could even react to her attacks.

She dug her arm inside it's chest then yanked out it's basketball sized heart with her enormous strength, fingers buried inside the organ.

Her body pulsating with adrenaline and the thrill of the kill. "heart bomb!" She roared, she reached down and took out a pencil from her messenger bag then shouted "pencil spear!"

She threw the gore bomb at the collapsing devil then hurled the freshly warped pencil spear at such incredible force that it detonated the explosive instantaneously as it made contact with the creature, sending her flying from the fireball in the direction of Wednesday.

She regained footing and surfed towards the goth girl with sword planted in the ground bringing her to a halt as entrails and blood showered her and the girl behind. With a smile of victory she turned her back to face the wide eyed Wednesday, who is now leaning against the truck and sitting on the pavement still clutching Muninn.

Her eyes met the War Devil's as she licked the blood in and around her lips.
