He heard the scream before he saw the struggle. A caped man–whose features were obscured in the shadows–dragged another person into an alley. Whoever it was, struggled uselessly against the grip of the attacker. The dark of the passageway would, most likely, deter most people from trying to help.

That wasn’t good.

Keisuke pushed through the crowed toward the narrow mouth of the alley and felt his anger rise. He put as much speed as he could in his step as he side-stepped and dodged around the people certainly staring at him. He saw the two enter the small passage. “Wait!” He called out.

He hoped that got the attacker’s attention. Perhaps surprising them enough to halt their actions before they did any damage to the intended victim. Or, at least give him enough time to get there.

And arrive he did. The assailant hadn’t yet done much or perhaps he hadn’t started at all. There was something about the man’s stature that seemed familiar. It reminded him of the man (Ankh?) he’d encountered his first week

He paused for only a moment. Ankh wasn’t the most sociable, but Keisuke didn’t think he’d do something like that. They had only met the once, really. Regardless, Ankh didn’t feel quite this…malicious feeling?

     “Tell me about this place or else I’ll simply kill you for wasting my time.” His words quiet, but strong as he spoke to the poor man he had captured in his grip in the alley.  He cared not what happened. If he told him nothing it was all the better for him. A reason to simply kill a worthless soul, as most humans were to begin with and move on to the next idiot who he decided to use and throw aside.

     Though he sounded threatening he cared not what was told to him as he didn’t care he was taken here, not in the slightest, he just wanted to make a mark and enjoy himself in this new home. He also hopped he could start rumors of a man who murdered without care to get the interest of the other darker folks of the city so he could maybe rise anew Shocker in this city to help take it over and gain control of it.

     Moving so the man now had his back against a wall he laughed softly as he heard the yell of >wait< from someone. How foolish to think anyone was going to get him to stop. He pulled the man forward before hitting his back against the wall this time with force to cause pain.

     “Start talking I am not going to wait any longer--”

>”Let them go!“

     It finally dawned on him, he knew the voice that was yelling at him to stop. He knew it all too well. How did he not realize it before? Must be from being so tired.

     He really needed to get some sleep...

     And tired as he was he didn’t quite move from the punch, more he didn’t notice it since he wasn’t realizing until after it that he should pay attention to who was attacking him. At least his grip on the poor civilian stayed so as he was knocked back from the punch to his jaw, the man flew back with him.

     The monster like hand gripped tight around the guy’s neck as Great Leader got back up to his feet, dragging the man with him. Where the punch hit a small cut did open up from the force but not much other damage was done.

     Touching the mark with his human like hand he looked at the blood. “ ... You made me bleed.
