The sky was a orange red as the cosmic ball of condensed gas that suspended around the earth began to set. Keda spent most of the AM getting back to his apartment; sticking to the rooftops and avoiding most all human contact. Chaos the like he has never seen riddled the entire island it seemed. If the department couldn't muster up the strength to settle down all the riots and frantic citizens, the island may never recover from such unorthodox events. Still, that was the last thing on the mind of the young officer. Upon reaching his apartment he made the required preparations for the upcoming night and headed back towards the police station quickly afterwards. The journey there and back was a time consuming one. Being only limited to dark alleyways and rooftops made it pretty difficult to reach the station in a timely manner. Not only that, but it was quite physically taxing; Keda huffing and puffing through the entire stuntman route. Regardless of how taxing this truly was, he still made it back to the station before the PM hit. The sly detective crossed the street and preformed some parkour until he reached the roof of said liquor store where he was to meet Orlando. once Keda climbed the escape ladder, he saw the large ebony male waiting for him. They greeted each other with friendly gestures, exchanged any useful information; if any, and awaited for this so called explosion to take place. Keda shook in his loafers; he was truly terrified; yet he stayed vigilant to the utmost highest caliber. Orlando did the same; the duo wanted answers...

What next...?

"Get the hell away from me!" A man yelled from down the street as he sprinted towards the police station. He wore what appeared to be rags, and in his hand was a cellphone that looked battered and damaged. Stopping towards the wall of the police station, the man would place a hand and take a few deep breaths to catch his breath. His hands moves vigorously against the buttons of the phone as if he was trying to get it to work. "Come on! Come the hell on!" The man cursed under his breath with beads of sweat coming down his head. Something was obviously wrong, and he seemed to be panicking alot more than needed. Perhaps it was because of the lock down. Maybe he was trying to get in touch with his family? Whatever it was, the man was against the building and typing furiously at his phone. "God damn it, why aren't you working any more? Did he really break it that easily?!" The man in rags breathed heavenly as he slouched against the broken building thanks to his knees buckling under him. "Hah..Looks like I'm at the end of my rope.."

After he finished talking with Reijo, Eichi had got on his way towards the police station. His question had been answered on the middle of his way there. Apparently he would be safe anywhere but within the station itself. That meant that the attack on the place would be small. If the gangs or something else was to attack the place, they'd ravage all the surrounding buildings or even the entire neighborhood. It'd still be dangerous but it was a danger that he was willing to take if it meant saving the station, for saving it would allow order to be maintained and that way Reijo, him and the rest of the students would have things easier. No more would students be attacked by gangs and no more would Reijo have to deal with their provisions being stolen.

And thus, with the bigger good of his people in mind, Eichi observed from the shadows of a building next to the station for hours, waiting for something, anything remotely suspicious happen. For the most time, absolutely nothing interesting took place, making him grow more and more bored, even making him considering leaving. After all, it was mostly sure that Reijo was wright and all of this was a load of lies from an unknown opposer...

But just as he was thinking this, what he had been waiting for happened.

From a street next to the one he was waiting at, a man wearing ragged clothes came out running. Without thinking it twice, Eichi was instantly after him, running as fast as he could!, If he was the terrorist he had to be stopped for the good of the Tiekuru University and everyone else in Port Island!

Thanks to his much superior stamina, his younger age and superior physical condition overall, Eichi reached the man before he could even make it to the wall of the police station, tackling the clearly exhausted adult in an attempt to throw him to the ground and pin him down.

Masa almost instantly tried to get good information for Reijo at the school in order to get in his favor. He would investigate the message that he received in the morning and see if that held any truth to it. If it did, then Masa would have information gold on him. He would be able to figure out what was going on before any of this ever happened. He might even be able to prevent all of this from happening. Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to stop this from happening. It was already afternoon. Masa had no way of stopping anything from happening. At the same time, though, he kind of wanted something to happen. He didn't even know why these messages were sent and if they were true, then he would look further into it. It was definitely something that he didn't want to do, but he felt that it had to be done. If it happened, then he would try to help as many people as he could.

He walked towards the police station. He had no idea how it fared after the chaos. More than likely, it was run down or destroyed, since the power was out and the police were probably the first to be attacked from the riots, but he had to make sure. Even just getting the condition of the station may have been enough for now, just to prove to Reijo that he shouldn't leave Masa on the streets.

When he got to the station, he saw a man that was about to fall over and die right there. He immediately tried to rush over and help. He had no idea whether he would make it on time, but he knew that he had to help the man, whoever he was. He didn't want anyone to die, even if they couldn't be trusted, no one deserved to die here.

"People?! Why the hell would people be at the station...?!" Wait, could this be the lead Keda was searching for? Possibly the ones attempting to blow up the police department? From the vantage point, Keda couldn't really get any good detail when it came to facial features. However, he could easily decipher the emotions coming from the three individuals due to their frantic body language. The possibilities of these three causing the bombing quickly flew out the window as one of the strangers tackled the other who seemed to be quite distraught in stance. The 3^rd merely ran up and observed to see what was the meaning behind the tackle it seemed. If these three weren't the culprits then why were they at the station? Looking for help, perhaps? Maybe even supplies? Regardless, time was dwindling away while the mysterious foreseen explosion was beckoning upon them. But what could this trainee do in a situation like this? He sighed and spoke to Orlando. "Keep your wit about you, Orlando. I don't like this, I don't like this one bit..."

The man was tackled by some weird pedestrian, and he would go down easily. He was too weak to defend himself at this time, and instead he'd look at the man pinning him with a deranged expression. "GET OFF ME, YOU FOOL! GET OFF ME! HE'S COMING!" The man screamed and struggled under the grip of the stronger kid, but it was far too late. Shooting out of the alley way at that time would be a man in black. He was quite a hulking figure, and the facial expression he wore was that of malicious intent. He immediately noticed his target pinned by another, and a crooked smirk came across his face. It was almost as if fate was on his side. The coward that was running must have picked a fight with a pedestrian. No matter, everyone was just chopping blocks to the Crow. With phone in hand, Genji gave a sinister grin as a loud howl escaped into the area. Out of a blue mist that surrounded his body, a demonic wolf the size of a small truck emerged and shot forward towards the pinned man and the one holding him. "Fucking murder them, FENRIR!" The gangster barked his orders with a maniacal laugh, and on orders the wolf famous for killing the God, Odin, would make its move.

--- the 'explosive' conclusion ★ [Day 1: Afternoon] Fenrir_(FFXI)

The area would erupt into flames, shooting forward in a wave of violence that looked to swallow the panicking man, the one who pinned him, and even half of the police building. Cars that were flipped and pushed to the side were even caught in the large wolf's attack, as they exploded on spot thanks to the gasoline mixing with flames. For those watching, it would appear to be a wide scale light show that could be seen from miles away. It even had enough power to shake the ground, showcasing just how powerful Fenrir truly was. It was a fitting Persona for Genji, as they both had the power to slay their enemies on a whim. Perhaps this sole reason was why the gangs feared and followed him so. At the end of the light show, those caught in the tower of flames would have been turned to ash. The demonic wolf would vanish in thin air, and the one named Genji would have a hand in his pocket while the other kept his phone to his chest. "Fucking weakling. Next time don't come into our territory." The power hungry Persona-user would pocket his phone and remove a cigarette from his vest. Walking over to some remaining flames, he'd use them to light his cigarette and take a long drag. For someone who was out for blood, he didn't seem to care that he was taking lives so easily.

Genji Stats:

Masa would have helped the person, if he was totally murdered in front of his eyes by the young delinquent in front of him. He seemed to not be the only person with help on his mind, but that person must have thought that the person was the bomber. He was killed along with the man. The blast of the fire sent debris everywhere.

Unfortunately, Masa was attempting to help the person who was killed, so he was closer to the explosion. He wouldn't die, but he certainly wasn't safe. He turned away from the explosion, but just because cool guys don't look at explosions, doesn't mean that they couldn't be harmed. A few split seconds after the explosion went off, he felt an extremely sharp pain in his side. He opened his eyes to check out the damage. What he saw horrified him. There was a large piece of glass that was lodged into his side. His delayed pain hit his brain as he shouted in pain. There was blood staining his clothes underneath, turning parts of the white shirt red. He didn't stay any longer, he got what he needed to get when it came to info, he decided to book it.

He ran as fast as he could, but the pain was agonizing. Would it kill him? Of course not. Did it hurt? Yes, a lot. He couldn't leave it in him, it could get infected if he left it in any longer. When he got far enough, he pulled the glass out of his body, giving a little cringe. The pain was back, but it wouldn't last too much longer. He pressed down hard on his wound, but he had nothing to do it with, so he had to use his hands. He was already sweating and out of breath from the running and the explosion, but the blood he saw on his hands released the adrenaline into his body. He couldn't do anything with it, though. His defense mechanism made his breathing faster, his heart race, and his vision sharp. He could see everything and do a lot more now, but he didn't know what he could do. He didn't want to panic, so he tried to find something that would get the bleeding to stop, but something that was far away from the station. Masa learned his lesson, never do anything too reckless when the mail says something.

Speaking of the mail, he figured that the mail was now right. He quickly took out his phone and entered into the app, he found the mail. His heart started to beat faster again. He would die later today if he didn't find shelter. His mind was spinning. If this wasn't bad enough, it was going to get even worse. He didn't want to die, not then, but not here, either. He had his second chance, nothing was going to stop it. He held on tightly to the crowbar that he took out of his bag. It gave him a sense of security, but a slight panic started to take over him, he needed to calm down fast. Luckily, he was away from the violence, so he could calm down a little. The adrenaline was still pumping through his body, but that too would eventually go away, unless there was something else that would continue to pump the adrenaline through his body.

The bleeding was slowing down, but it was still there. Masa took off his shirt and hung it up on a tree, he couldn't afford to get his wound infected, it was also his only shirt that he would have to live with for probably a long time, he couldn't ruin it. The temperature wasn't so bad, it was a hotter day, in the 60s, so he wasn't too cold. But he still felt vulnerable. He wanted the bleeding to stop, the adrenaline to stop, and wanted to have this lock down stop. He didn't want to do this anymore, but he knew that he had to go on, to live again, to take the second chance that he was given and do something with it. But he couldn't do that unless he could just calm down, whatever that was, there was more than likely to be more of it, so Masa had to get used to it fast. There was certainly something odd about this lock down. This wasn't a matter of poison gas or virus, this was something far worse.

Keda's eyes opened extremely wide; the pupils dilated while the bottom lip quivered in fear. He could make absolutely no logical sense of the events unfolding before his eyes. Some stranger clothed in black appears, spouts some utter nonsense while some hellish canine creature is left in his wake; destroying a large portion of the station with hellish flames and any unlucky enough to be caught before such a beast. The explosion was so violent it caused the very foundation underneath them to shake; causing both Orlando and Keda to stumble for proper balance. However Keda allowed himself to stumble downwards and tugged on the ebony males pants leg; indicating he should most defiantly do the same. Orlando collapsed to the ground; out of vision of the man in black and it's hellish beast of hell fire. The young officer poked his head upwards and continued to watch as roaring flames ascended to the heavens. Keda didn't see the three strangers from before; he feared the worst. What he did see however was the man who did this casually walk away as if nothing had even happened at all. And, as soon as it happened, everything was over... Silence over took the entire site, the only thing that could be heard was the roaring of the flames.

"W-W-What the fuck..." The fearful officer couldn't stop shaking. "That man.... That creature..." He muttered; slowly placing both hands on the face and dragging them down oh so slowly. Looking at Orlando, Keda tried to be as cool and collected as humanly possible; but it was more than obvious such attempts were futile. "This may just be the end of me, Orlando. Both foreseen events took place; right after another. Tonight, I will be mauled by some large carnivorous beast until I die." He paused and nervously adjusted his yellow tie. "It'll be safe to assume my killer will be the man who caused the explosion, correct? He has some wolf demon at his disposal who could cause endless amount of destruction on a whim..." Keda looked up at the remains of the cosmic ball of condensed gas, "If my killer is some 'supernatural' force, no amount of preparation could possibly change my foreseen fate..." The detective stood up and dusted himself off, "It'll be night soon. I want you to get somewhere safe, my friend. You still have the communicator I gave you early?" Orlando nodded, "Good, keep that very close to you this night. If anything happens to me I want you to take this as an warning and try to get out of this lock-down. Forget being a cop for a second, man; how can we help the citizens if we can't even help ourselfs? Your own safety should be top priority as of right now." Keda slowly strolled over to the side of the building and spoke a little more before jumping off and heading back to his apartment for the night. "I'll keep in contact if I can..." And with that, he was gone; off to challenge the formidable god of fate.

Genji raised a brow as he watched a man run away from the scene. Probably some random asshole. Spitting to the side, the Crow would drop the cigarette and reach back into his pocket to remove the phone. With a flick of his thumb, he'd activate the Velvet P. Program and download the Persona of the man he had just killed. He could use it later for fusion. With a crooked grin, Genji began to head back to the mall. "Thanks for the demon, dumb ass." The gangster laughed under his breath and left the scene.
