There was the sudden low growl of an engine, the next minute a wicked looking motor bike with heavy front armor and spiked wheels came ploughing into the demon with a sonic boom.
The force of the thing alone would have knocked the demon head over heels but the armour and the spikes would have meant that even more damage was done.
If the demon had bones, the ones on his left side would have broken or come very close to it.

"Umm..." Byakuren said, reaching around in her pockets and producing first a lolly and then the scroll she was supposed to be handing over, as opposed to the scroll currently projecting a glowing sword of doom. All the while, the magician was rolling the lollipop around in her mouth... though she wasn't sure if it would really help with anything.

"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Drifting closer, Nanoha decided to introduce herself to the rainbow-haired man. After all, introductions usually helped. She came to a halt beside Byakuren. "I'm Takamachi Nanoha, hello!"
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Seeing that the thing that ran her over had been busy with the castle, Chun-li soon moved to sit down and wait for the others to show up. The others would be here soon, hopefully. Then they could deal with the guy in the armor.

The motorcycle beasts noticed Shotoaro-Dubix looking at them, and the beasts seemed to confer, hissing and snarling to one another in an unrecognizable language. Then, after a hesitation in the discussion...the beasts all turned their cycles towards him and charged, six of them at once.
—
"Drownin' Doom? I ain't heard not'in 'bout none oh-,"
The demon let out a surprised roar of pain when he was hit by the cycle, sent rolling across the ground and into a gravestone. He growled, clutching at his side, but got slowly back to his feet, snorting and growling.
"Ach...so it's gonna be that way then, is it?" he spat. "Well...I stole back some of my creatures from Doviculus after he took them fer 'is own...maybe you would like to meet them as well!"
He reared back his head, calling out as loudly as he could.
"Allllllll right, boys! Le's get this party STARTED!"
Further down the pathways, they would hear the revving of motorcycles, similar to the ones that were after the Coil, and with the same hisses and growls of language.

Lita tapped her halberd slightly on the ground as she started leading the group towards the northeast field. "Well, that's a help at least..."
"And once we destroy the leader, the power he's exerting on the others will fade as well..." Ophelia added. "Then it's just a question of getting the real one out of the waters."
Lita nodded. "Jack...you there..." she nodded to Delta. "If you two...would be willing to lead our forces against your comrades, it would be of great service. We have a variety of soldiers...hand-to-hand fighters, a few long-distance, some vehicles with weapons, the Thunderhogs are our healers...Eddie and Mangus usually control the order of how the army is distributed, but you seem to know best who should go up against who."
The field was filling up quickly with all the warriors they'd seen...the women with their giant cats, the men on the two styles of motorcycles, the Headbangers, Razorgirls, and others, apparently waiting for their orders. Lita sighed as she looked them over. "I never thought we would have to gather for war again...at least not one of this magnitude. Let me address them first, and then we'll be on our way." She started forward on her own, as Ophelia blew out a long breath.
"We can handle this," she said to Jack and Delta, smiling confidently. "I mean we're used to fighting this kind of war. Surely our experience will be our advantage."

"Nice to meet you too, Miss Nanoha..." Sani stared at Nanoha in shock, obviously not expecting a kid. Toriko, ya bastard, are ya careless enough to send kids?! Unlike his fellow King, Sani took age into account on hunts, especially since he had a little sister. "Still, you're definitely strong enough..." The man relented as he stared at a white flower in his hand, five of the twelve petals wilting.
Looking at Byakuren attempt to find the scroll, he simply waited. Whilst he was waiting, he took out a small bouquet of other white powers and watched them with interest. 'White hair is six petals, Oriental is four and a half, unconscious kid is three and a half, armored one is three. The rest is below two...

Jack bowed slightly.
"I would be honored to help you, of course, if you believe my leadership to be a wise course."
At Ophelia's words, his nod was somewhat hesitant.
"Experience does tell a great deal in any fight, but sheer power should not be underestimated either. It is precisely because of their lack of familiarity with this world that our enemies should be feared."
He said no more, instead listening to hear the aforementioned speech.

"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Nanoha, curious as usual, peered at the wilting flowers. What was that, she wondered? The entire flowers did't wilt, only some of the petals, and it was all different numbers of petals. "Sani-san, what are the flowers for? They're all wilting differently, what does that mean?"
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
"Four Heavenly Kings, you say?" Tick steadily slid down a tree until he was a few meters above the group. "Wow, I haven't met a king since that exchange program sent me to Belgium! The king there had a lot less hair than you do!"
...Four Heavenly Kings, hmmm? Kohaku, still sticking to the back of the group, eyed the rainbow-haired man cautiously. Now that means either a villain group, or a group of heroes with an ego problem. Either way, this could prove interesting...
The maid hummed cheerfully to herself, which coupled with her broad smile made her look like an airheaded ditz. It was a role she'd long ago perfected, sometimes fooling even herself sometimes. But it was a most useful one indeed.
Vile watched Chun Li from the sky, but he was getting irate. "Damn girl has not moved for while. I am getting annoyed here." Vile waited for a few more minutes then he aimed his shoulder cannon at Chun Li again. "Screw it I will find someone else, this bitch is dead!" Vile opened fire with his shoulder cannon.

"Oh, we're not actually kings..." Sani engaged in conversation to help pass the time. "That's our titles. We worked long and hard to get to where we are now, both in terms of fighting ability and fame. Toriko himself is famous for discovering two percent of the current era's six hundred thousand ingredients, and all of us are billionaires in our own right." Indeed, the very mention of their names are as common as household products and they were considered essential to the economy.
"And the flowers I hold are Caution Flowers. They are used to determine how powerful something is. The more petals that wilt, the stronger you are." He said, looking at the flowers again. "You guys are rather high leveled, so you're alright." Gunner stared at the flowers with interest, noting the possible uses of the plant.

"Well, royalty or not, anyone who earns the name 'king' that way has the respect of the Tick! So, what does a Heavenly King do these days? How do you pass the time in this suburbia of delectable flora?"
"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Nanoha looked at the flowers for several moments. The fact that more petals wilted depending on the level of power of the people present reminded her distinctly of the TSAB mage ranking system. She didn't really know much about that, though, just that there were levels of power and that was about it.
With a pang of homesickness, it reminded her even more of her older brother's shonen anime he'd watched when he was younger. She'd been very young at the time, and therefore barely remembered much about them, but she knew that there were a lot of those power levels that were often graded with some kind of machine or magic or something of that nature.
Nanoha did her best to ignore that.
"Oh... um, well, we're here to get some of that giant corn," she said.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

"Hmm... All of us are currently training ourselves to become strong enough to enter Gourmet World, the remaining seventy percent of this planet that is rife with unspeakable dangers. We intend to be ready for the emergence of God, the most miraculous of ingredients to show up, along with Earth, Air, Atom, and the other courses from Acacia's Full Course Menu..." Sani responded. "Though as much as I hate to admit it, none of us are even strong enough to pass through the safest checkpoint into that brutal place." A grimace could be seen as Sani displayed his impatience.
"Atop of that, we have to deal with the Bishoku-Kai, those idiot gluttons that aimlessly kill ingredients without worrying about the consequences. Them idiots and their bird-like GT Robos are a right pain in the ass." he then turned to regard Nanoha. "Strong though you may be, you all need proof of identity to be able to harvest the corn." He said in an off handed apologetic manner.

WHAT HAS SCIENCE WROUGHT
"...Did you just say Bird-Like?" Cletus muttered, remembering the creature that had come out of the bushes. "I think we may have seen one in the jungle."
...and that's terrible.
"Bird like you say?" Tyrell said from across the clearing. After seeing Byruken getting berated by the rainbow-haired man he had decided to just listen patiently. People tended to explain things you didn't understand if you waited around long enough.
"I think we saw a bird/monkey/person/thing eating the leftovers of some skysharks that attacked us and our Jellycopter."
"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Nanoha blinked. Her immediate reaction was one of disappointment, but then she remembered the scroll that Byakuren had been given. "Oh, well, Hijiri-san's scroll counts as identification, right?"

"Wait... Eating?" Sani paused, looking at the group with worry. "It actually consumed something? Not metal?" The tone was insistent that an answer be given.
"Yes, it definitely opened its beak. It seemed to be enjoying itself by licking some blood off the fin..." Gunner supplied an answer, a bit surprised at the reaction.
"So... Not a robot... That only leaves..." The rainbow haired man's eyes narrowed considerably. "You've met a Nitro... Change of plans, we're leaving immediately." At once the man leapt up and began running through the jungle with speed that no human should have. Those that could keep up would be able to trail him, those that couldn't would be dragged along by his fine hairs, though lifted off the ground so they can ride in comfort.

"Wait for us!" Tick commenced swinging from tree to tree, leaving a trail of torn wood in his wake.
Despite being a regular, ordinary, human maid, Kohaku could keep up with Sani, showing off surprising speed as she zoomed after the rainbow-haired man* . As much trouble as he had caused, the Night of Wallachia had at least been helpful in some aspects.
"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Nanoha was very confused by this sudden revelation, but she quickly flew after Sani without delay. Catching up to him a little, she called "Sani-san, what's a Nitro?"
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
"Leave?" Tyrell shouted after Sani; "Where are we goAHHH!" Tyrell was suddenly picked up by Sani's hair with a jerk. Well I guess we'll see soon enough.
Garland, who had been listening to the conversation with mild interest, found that the techniques he'd learned in the Conflict of the Gods to be of use once more. He was able to keep up with Sani using continual Dashes, although he wasn't quite as fast as the Heavenly King.

Mehir has walked from behind Grievous. Staring at the demon, he chuckled. "Your Chaotic kind are no longer welcome here, demon," he rasped. "As he said" -he pointed to Grievous- "The area here is now the domain of the Drowned Doom. Your Chaotic influence will be purged from this world."
