"Hmmm..." Cervez refrained from moaning too loudly and merely kept it to a quiet hum at the back of his throat as he savored the sweet taste that permeated his taste buds. The sensation was almost otherworldly, and he didn't want it to stop, sadly he had to swallow its contents less he wanted it to dribble down the side of his face. "This eye-scream is very good." He said to the waitress waiting patiently beside him with a bead of sweat sliding down her cheek, her eyes twitching in what seemed like irritation but her face kept that Stepford smile across her face the whole while, though it looked strained if anyone checked closely.
'Remember, they pay you for this shit Ayame, don't lose your job just because some shirtless Zoan is acting weird,' Shaking her head from her dark thoughts of wanting to shoo the 'Zoan' with a broomstick, she instead adopted a prim and proper posture and used her best customer service voice as she could muster. "Do you need anything else, sir? Perhaps a refill, or another snack?" While she desperately wanted this dog gone, she wouldn't refuse the money that he'd give her if he truly wanted something else.
She wasn't suicidal, everything would be caught on camera and she'd be out of a job faster than she could say "Paycheck".
Cervez finished the last of his creamy dessert before speaking as it wouldn't be polite if he spoke with his mouth full, "Yes, I'd like more of this eye-scream of yours." As he said that, the Anubian couldn't help but wonder as to why they used such an off-putting name for something that tasted so good. Perhaps that was the reason, otherwise, they'd ran out of it if everyone knew it was this heavenly.
The girl smiled, her eyes almost taking the shape of money signs for a second but it was probably just a trick of the light, as she got ready to tell the Anubian how much it would cost him for another refill, the sound of a commotion in the streets stopped her. "What in the world is going on?!" She moved towards the glass that overlooked the streets, other patrons and coworkers joining her soon after, leaving Cervez blinking confusedly on his seat.
"Oh no, those guys are at it again." A young man groaned quite loudly, and his groan was answered in kind by many of the other patrons.
"Ugh, when are they gonna stop this foolishness?" Said an old matron, her face set into a tired but unforgiving frown.
"I had to pay about a hundred thousand Zeni to fix the damage they did to my car the last time they did this! Oh when I get my hands on those two fucking idiots I'm gonna..." A woman in a business suit growled quite heatedly, some of the men taking a step away from her to escape her wrath if she decided to take it out on them for any reason, no need to be on the warpath of a scorned woman.
Since no refill seemed about to happen until this commotion was over, the purple furred jackal sighed under his breath and stood from his seated position, walking quietly until he stood beside the other onlookers. "Excuse me, but what's going on?" He asked curiously, the other patrons side-eyeing him in derision and dismissed him without another thought.
Rude.
But one of them stepped back and turned to address him, it was the same old matron from before, her face still looking grave by what was happening outside. "Oh, it's just terrible, dear. Two hooligans had been causing nothing but trouble for us residents of East City for the past few weeks with their robberies, and they call themselves—"
"Prepare for trouble!" A man with an outrageous pink colored hair stood at the other side of the road where a bank was located, he didn't look like he was remarkably powerful as he twirled a pink rose in his fingers, but the glinting twinkle in his eyes looked almost manic.
"And make it double!" His partner, a girl with a strange hairdo with an iridescent green color was beside him, in her hand she was playing with a ball by throwing it up and down at random seconds, a shark-like a grin on her face making her look completely deranged.
Quite out of nowhere, they began to recite some sort of motto that threw Cervez for a loop, an evil as old as the galaxy? To denounce the evils of truth and love? Team Chaos???
What the hell was going on!?
"Diversion time, bitches!" With that grin in place, the green-haired girl threw the ball that she has been messing with against a beam in the middle of the road, once it made contact the ball revealed itself to have been some sort of exploding device when it exploded quite loudly, almost deafening. By doing so, however, once the dust of smoke cleared it revealed that the explosion had eaten away at most of the base of that beam, the three hundred odd pounds of metallic death screeching as it began to tilt to the ground, its direction sending it right to the Ice-cream Parlor!
The people inside began to panic, everyone pushing each other to escape to the nearest emergency exit, meanwhile, Cervez stood there with his eyes narrowed in irritation, quite calm considering that the metallic beam of death was aimed to splatter him across the floor. Tensing his legs and getting a firm hold of the linoleum, he flew out of the establishment with the sound of windows breaking, as he had crashed right through them like so much paper instead of walking outside.
With a wham, his hands caught the falling beam, and with a small grunt of effort, he pushed it aside so that it'd fall to the floor where no civilians stood, and safely out of the zone of danger for the Ice-cream Parlor and its residents. While some of the people gave him small amounts of gratitude once he reached the floor, his attention was still set on the humans not too far away from whatever they've been trying to accomplish seemed like it was finally over, as they ascended to the skies and left before anyone could stop them.
"So, I take it those two are the cause for what's been happening weeks ago?" The Anubian said at large, most of the civilians nodding at his words while the rest were more concerned on checking on the rest and see if they needed medical help, and judging by the sound of sirens in the distance, the armed enforcement of this city were finally here. How curious, they appeared when all the trouble was done and over, it was almost too much of a coincidence but he brushed the thought aside once someone tentatively came forth towards him.
"Um, s-sir?" That person happened to be a small girl clutching a slightly torn-teddy-bear in her hands, she was wearing a periwinkle colored dress and small black shoes with a pink headband around her brown hair. She looked up at the Anubian with beseeching eyes, her Mother behind her and looking on in concern for her child being so close to someone that so effortlessly stopped a beam of metal from crashing down like it was nothing.
"Yes, little girl?"
She blinked twice before looking down at the ground shyly, pushing her foot across a small piece of rubble in the sidewalk. "You're really strong, I s-saw you save those people back there, so..." Looking back up, the girl put her hands together like on a prayer, her teddy-bear hanging limply between her joined hands. "Can you please stop those two bad guys from causing more trouble?"
"Wha?" The question was so out of the blue that the Anubian merely blinked back in shock, his mind still processing the request for help from this human girl. "Listen, girly, I really don't have the time for this—"
"Pleeeeeaassseeeee?" She stuck out her bottom lip and made her eye go big and teary, the Anubian almost taking a step back at the strange sight before him. For some reason, he wanted to comply to the girl's cry for help, on one hand, he didn't really have anything of importance to do, and if this sort of thing began to happen again when he was trying to enjoy some of Earth's delicacies, it would make him cranky as all hell to have his food ruined each and every time.
Cervez hummed under his breath, even going as far as to cross his arm and look slightly upward as in thought, at the corner of his eyes he spotted the girl blowing up her cheek with a mean pout, so having mercy on her he finally sighed like it pained him. "Alright, alright, I'll help you, but only because you asked!"
The girl's face lights up like a thousand stars in the night sky, and quite suddenly she lunged forward and hugged his leg, drawing a sound of surprise from him. She squealed quite loudly, almost making him deaf with his enhanced hearing. "Thank you, Mr. Dog! Thank you thank you thank you!"
"Yeah yeah, let go of me you brat." The girl wasn't even put out that she was called a brat, she merely giggled and let him go. Rolling his eyes at her exuberance, the jackal-looking Alien looked to where the man and woman had been previously, and if he honed his senses he could slightly detect their presences in the distance, probably laughing their ass off at a heist well done or something to that effect. "Right, let's do this..." Silently, he began to float back into the air, and with a push, he was off like a rocket towards their direction.
At the halfway point, the Anubian sensed that the two energy signatures stopped moving, probably because they had felt his presence getting closer and closer, and sure enough when he finally got a clear look at them from up close, they were up in the air, above the clouds actually, waiting for him 'patiently'.
"The fuck are you, some stupid dog?" The girl growled through her shark-like teeth, her arms crossed across her chest and glaring murder at the Anubian.
"Yeah, why don't ya get lost, bro." The man said with a sniff, chin held high in the air and looking at Cervez with clear derision in his eyes, still twirling that pink rose between his fingers.
Cervez looked at each of them in turn, gauging their strength and checking to see if he needed to power-up to deal with them, considering how his power level was lower than theirs, and this was going to turn into a one v two fight, perhaps using twenty-five percent of his power would be a wise choice to take. Nodding his head at his thought process, the purple-furred jackal took a stance, ignoring the two humans for now, and began to power up.
His form shone with a glowing purple aura, the sky almost seeming to rumble for a few moments as his power sky-rocketed quite suddenly, getting to about double their energies if someone combined them together. "What the hell!?" The girl gritted her teeth, taking out a handful of bombs from her satchel. "We're now going to surrender just because you seem stronger than us!"
The man frowned, his rose suddenly lengthening and turning into a whip of some kind. "You'll have to take us by force, but we're not going to make it easy for you, dude."
"Alright then," Cervez rolled his shoulders and straightened his posture. "I'm going to teach you, kids, a lesson about respecting your elders."
"Hah! Don't make me laugh, pea-for-brains!" The girl threw most of the bombs that she had in her hands at the Anubian, at the halfway point most of them light up and exploded, obscuring the air with heavy smoke. That was the signal her partner was waiting for, as from the darkness his whip suddenly lashed out and attempted to stab at Cervez's stomach.
Dodging to the side, the Anubian gathered energy in his finger before letting it sail as a salvo of thin energy beam, earning a shout of pain as they struck across their skin. "When you're using something to hide your movements." Cervez shook his head as the smoke cloud shifted away, revealing the slightly singed forms of the two young adults. "Always remember that the opponent could use it to their advantage."
"Shut the fuck up!" With a scream of rage, the two dashed at speed towards him. Fists, kicks, and strikes with that whip began to lash out fast and furious, and Cervez found himself hard-pressed to dodge and counter for most of it as his attention was split in two directions.
Seeing an opening after a few moments of this brawl, the Anubian darted forward and into their guards, his open palms extended to his front, facing the two young adults and with a loud cry of, "Almighty Push!" the two humans found themselves free-falling at breakneck speed toward the ground as a powerful shockwave of displaced air slammed hard against their bodies.
Following them at speed, the Anubian quickly darted in and hit both of them across their shoulders, earning cries of pain before they lost consciousness. "Tsk. I guess that's that." Shaking his head, Cervez grabbed the collar of their shirts in each hand, and began his descent back to the ground, following his ears towards where the loud sounds of the police sirens were still blaring loudly.
Back at the Ice Cream Parlor, the residents were now outside and being questioned by the police, but they stopped momentarily as they looked up when they saw the floating form of Cervez slowly descending to the ground, and he wasn't alone. "I believe you were looking for them?" Not so gently, the Anubian released the two crooks from his clutches, the fall wasn't that big, about one or three feet, even so, they made a loud thump as they hit the ground, groaning in pain.
"H-how— what?!" The police were gobsmacked into silence, merely watching as Cervez walked by them and went back towards the Ice Cream Parlor. "Now, about my eye-scream, please? I was promised a refill." Cervez blinked a few times, not really understanding why everyone was staring at him so intently like he was the new coming of their God or something of that nature. "Yes? Do I have something stuck on my face?" How embarrassing if that was the case, he wasn't one to take pride in his appearance like some other beings in the galaxy, but at least he did not want to look like a complete disaster.
"N-no! Nothing's wrong!" The same girl that served him from before pitched in with a nervous laugh, ushering the Anubian back inside the building. "Please come inside! Your order shall be with you shortly!" Speeding towards the back, the girl came back after a few moments with a truly humongous bowl filled with all the flavors of ice-creams they had. "Here! For helping this part of the city for those stupid guys. Is on the house." Her manager better shut the hell up because if he dared to complain she'd shove one of her high heels so far up his butt that—
"It was no problem, really, but thank you all the same." Taking his seat again, the Anubian stifled a yawn with the palm of his hand and chanced a look outside.
They were still looking at him.
Shrugging his shoulders and deeming it merely an Earthling oddity, the purple-furred jackal tackled his treat with gusto. "Hmm, it really does taste heavenly..."
