As Asagi approached Elios, she fired a few bullets at him, fully expecting him to evade them.
Elios did dodge them, by flying up into the air to use his Chaos Fire attack, still too self-confident to take the girl attacking him as a serious threat.
This was, however, exactly what Asagi wanted him to do, and much to his surprise, she jumped up after him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Asagi delivered a devistating kick to his side, with enough force to send him flying into the wall, which crumbled upon impact due to its poor condition. With that, she landed in a crouching position and reholstered her pistols, having not intended to shoot anyone in the first place. She looked back down to the bottom floor to see how her companions were faring, and to see the warriors' reactions to their employer being so utterly defeated.

"Whoa..." Both Roscoe and an errant staff-wielder said in almost perfect unison as they saw the vampire get kicked straight through a wall. Roscoe made a mental note not to get on that girl's bad side before pressing the assault. Swinging his sword with more power than skill, he lodged the blade in the side of the cheap stick and wrenched the weapon out of his opponent's hands. He then rammed his shoulder into the warrior and knocked him aside.
"Miss Terra?" Seeing the knight pinned down, he raised his weapon. "I'm coming, Miss Terra!" He managed to get two steps before a sharp pain lanced across his arm. Clutching the rip in his suit, he followed the movement at the edge of his vision and saw an arrow on the ground. He looked up, and stomped his foot in frustration. "Oh, of course that guy has a bow!"
Making a dash for the nearest cover, he hid behind a couch just as another arrow whizzed by his head. "Now's as good a time as any to parley, you guys!" He yelled out encouragingly. "Whaddaya say we bury the hatchet...please?"

Terra glanced around the room after Asagi seemed to have defeated Elios. The warriors all seemed to want to continue, but at the same time they seemed to be backing off. Terra grabbed her sword still holding it out towards them all, but they weren't pressing for battle any longer. "Is everyone alright?" She called out, as she backed up, now going up the staircase. "Miss uh girl ... could you get the pudding, or find where Elios has hidden it... if he's well ... still among the living?"
Terra noticed Roscoe trying to make a truce or peace with the demon warriors, but she wasn't sure if they'd attack again or not. "Sir Roscoe ... come up here!" She shouted, now at the top of the staircase. She was beaten and bruised abit, with a slash in her shoulder, but overall it was nothing for a demon.

"You could at least remember my name!" Asagi shouted to Terra, already sifting through the rubble to find the downed vampire. In truth, that kick had bruised her leg, but she couldn't let it show that she was injured as long as there were possible enemies around. Luckily, her boots covered her most of her legs, so it wasn't apparent that she had taken any damage at all.
"I hope I didn't kill him...aaah! This isn't how I thought it'd turn out! Stupid easily breakable walls..." she mumbled to herself, still searching through the debris of said wall. She really hoped Elios wasn't dead, because it would be much easier to find the pudding with him, since he knew where it was.

Roscoe took a physical inventory of himself while he was hiding. His EDF suit, if it was possible, was even more banged up and cut up than before. Looking at some of the holes, he noted idly that if it wasn't for the multiple layers... Moving on from that, his hands were stinging, and he was fairly certain he broke a bone in his foot. But considering it was his first fight with demons, he actually fared spectacularly. Of course, he'd have time to nurse his wounds and panic over the danger he'd been through once he was done with this crazy assignment.
Poking his head out, he scrambled to his feet and made a mad dash for the stairs, clambering up the stairs with hands as well as feet. Two or more times he tripped over the sword in his hands, but finally he made it to the top without any further injury.
"So..." he said nonchalantly, trying to be funny between gasps for air, "...this Etna fella really knows how to make his people work for a living." He sighed, completely exhausted and overheating in his heavy suit. My kingdom for a lot of stuff right now...

Terra couldn't help but smile, momentarily not seeming to care about the situation they're in. "Master Etna definitely is skilled at forcing vassals to work their self into the ground, though ... I'm generally avoiding my chores for a living." She said, a somewhat arrogant tone coming into her speaking manner, apparently she was quite proud of that fact.
Terra gritted her teeth in anticipation, it was taking Asagi a while to find Elios. She couldn't tell if the warriors were simply loyal to Elios, or perhaps it was that they weren't paid for this task. Whatever the case it seemed they were continuing to stare angrily towards the three with their weapons out, though still not approaching. I sure hope Master Etna rewards me for my hard work .. The knight sighed, hoping to end this task quickly.

Still being unable to find anything, Asagi was quickly getting frustrated. "This is annoying! Let's just assume he died and go look for ourselves!" Pouting, she walked over to where the other two were. "I give up, he's probably just dead, and if he's not, I'm sure he can get himself out! So how'd your fights go? Did you win?"
The pain in her leg wasn't helping her mood at all, but Asagi was managing to keep her composure, and act like everything was normal. Noticing that the warriors still looked like they might want to fight, she decided to check to see if they were really willing to. "Hey, you guys! If you still want to fight, I'll take you on!" After that, she waited to see if her challenge was accepted, or if they decided to back off.

"You're a smart vassal, then, if all your work is like this." Roscoe groaned as he flexed his hand. To Asagi's little question concerning how his fight went, he quipped "I'm still here, aren't I?" He then went to rolling out the kink in his neck. He was starting to get stiff. He remembered some medical babble about lactic acid or something. Wierd, though. Terra looked to be in far worse condition than he was, but she wasn't showing it. Must come with experience fighting. That and she was a demon; Roscoe kept forgetting that he wasn't proverbially in Kansas anymore.
He watched the remaining warriors pacing, unsure about what they were going to do. Well, he reasoned, maybe they would give up without further fighting. Then...
"Hey, you guys! If you still want to fight, I'll take you on!"
"Ack!" Roscoe whipped his head to face Asagi. "Are you nuts?" He muttered through clenched teeth. Then he began to realize what kind of bluff Asagi was setting up, and realized that he might be able to work it to his advantage. "Are you nuts?" he asked again, "I don't care if you did kick their boss straight through a solid wall..." He continued to complain, purposefully accentuating the threat. "We can't afford to take on any more of them. Plus, you know if we continue we might trigger Terra's other half. You know as well as I do that she becomes an unstoppable cyborg ninja death machine when she's in trouble, and look at the state she's in right now. She might go postal on everyone in this house any minute now!"
He didn't turn to watch the warriors' reactions, fearing that if he didn't maintain a worried appearance, the bluff might fail. He borrowed the cyborg ninja death machine from one of his old comic books. He figured if it was scarier than what Asagi just did, then it might just give these demons pause.

Terra realized that this was going nowhere fast ... apparently they may've killed Elios, but that wasn't the problem so much as finding the pudding entirely. Terra was about to backhand Asagi in the face for trying to urge the warriors on ... Terra would much rather get home as soon as possible and go to sleep for the next day or two, but unfortunately Asagi would rather have them fight to the death some more over Etna's pudding.
However, before Terra could even say much Roscoe seemed to be trying to convince the warriors that she was some sort of cyborg ninja of death, or something to that extent ... realizing the plan she decided to follow the lead. Looking towards all the warriors, she fell to her knees, and held at her head like she was in some sort of mental agony or something ... opening her eyes momentarily to glare at them with viciousness they couldn't hope to stand.
The warriors all fled from the room, running in seemingly random directions, and even knocking the furniture over in a desperate attempt to escape. Oddly one even ran into the door three times before opening it.
Terra stood back up and glanced at the two. "Well, that was surprisingly simplistic, Sir Roscoe ... Miss Child." She glanced around them curiously, as though she expected to find something around them ... which of course wasn't the case. "Well ... I guess we should search the place, huh?"

Asagi glared at Terra. "I swear, if you don't stop calling me a child...!" pausing herself, Asagi took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Sorry, sorry...just a little frustrated is all! So anyway, do either of you have any idea where to find the pudding? Because I don't have a clue." She looked between her two companions as she was asking this, as if expecting one of them to have been here before. Unconciously, her body tended to lean on her uninjured leg, but she didn't notice.
