"Hey you!" Anna's eyes widened as she turned to face the uniformed man that was yelling at her from about a dozen yards away from where she had just emerged. "Don't move, you are in violation of the curfew and subject to arrest."
Anna took a step back as he began to advance on her, almost tripping on the curb. "F**k that." She mutters before spinning on her heel and booking it back down the alley. She hears the uniformed officer yell out again, taking a glance over her shoulder as she runs and sees him standing at the mouth of the alley, a communicator of some sort held up to his mouth.
Suddenly she collides with something solid and lets out an 'oomph' of pain and surprise as both she and the two new uniformed men she literally ran into crash to the ground. Unfortunately for the blonde slayer, the two of them are barely phased by the accident, quickly rising and grabbing hold of her.
Anna struggles furiously as they try to get her arms behind her back so they can cuff her, and it looks like she is just about break free when the first man reaches them and punches Anna square in the face, filling her vision with stars.
In her sudden dazed state, Anna offers no further resistance as her arms are wretched back and tightly cuffed. She lets out a grunt as the two restraining her force her to her knees on the pavement.
"Off to prison for you shortly, little girl." The first uniform taunts, pulling his belt off and snapping it against the ground in front of her. "But first, we're gonna have a little fun."
Anna's eyes widen once more and her struggles pick up again, but they are in vain as the two restraining her are stronger than the average human, maybe even a slayer. She watches with growing terror as the first walks around the one on her left to come up behind her. A moment later she lets out a shriek as he loops the belt closed around her neck, not tight enough to choke her, but almost as if it was a leash.
"Please, no!" She cries out as she feels the uniform behind her press his hand against her back and push her forward while his other maintains a tight hold on the end of the belt.
"Hey!" she hears someone yell from somewhere nearby and turns her head to see who it is, hoping they might help her.

Grey hardly ever approved of a fight without his code of conduct; something along the lines of the chivalry the lady beside him had bashed into his skull that many times. While not officially in Isafaro's resistance group, Grey and Lia both had a dissatisfied look on their faces when they'd come across the trio; Grey especially since he didn't like the guards or their less than tactful ideals and morals.
Lia smiled and her eyes grew intensely cold at the pair of armored guards the poor girl had stumbled upon; her voice eerily calming given Grey's ever increasing smirk.
"I do believe these guards want to play rough, my brother."
Grey's scythe flashed out, and he walked slowly toward them, almost casually. It was then that Grey disappeared, but then reappeared beside the three shocked members. A line of blood appeared across one guards chest, before he fell to pieces to the cold ground, his body parts quickly disintegrating as the fell to the ground, and leaving nothing but blood.
The second man simply disappeared, and as the young woman fell, Grey caught her effortlessly, holding her up by a leg like a dead animal.
"Grey," Lia's tone growing annoyed, "What have I told you about holding people up like that?"
Grey seemed to mull over the answer and then sheepishly blushed a bit.
"Sorry sis, it's just been so long since we worked together." Grey said, and chuckled as he quickly handled her back up to an upright position, and stood her back on her feet.
"You alright now miss? Didn't frighten you at all? People seem more afraid of body parts than of pools of blood, so . . . " Grey said with a smirk on his face; his trademark no matter where he was.

Aminee was paralyzed where she stood, her eyes watching on in horror as those soldiers of the Crimson Vulture began to have their way with the woman up ahead. It brought her back to a time and place she was just starting to forget about, and in a few seconds it all flooded back and felt like she was being violated all over again. The Pop Idol wanted to scream, to run to her and help. To shoot if necessary. But what if she failed? What if she failed and they violated her too? So Aminee just stood there, disgusted and ashamed of herself, doing nothing. Not even able to look away.
Then one of the men fell to pieces, snapping Aminee out of her shock and she was able to move of her own accord again. Grimm and the sister she was introduced to back at the base had stepped in just in the nick of the time and the Pop Idol couldn't have been more thankful. She ran towards the group and looked at the woman, speaking to her, "A-are you all right? Speak to me! please!" Her own guilt beginning to show for just standing there unable to do nothing. If only she had found the will to fight. If only...

Anna gives the brunette girl a shaky nod in response to her question, working to calm herself and then looking at the bodies laying in pieces around her, her gaze hardens and she walks over to where the lower half of the man who was going to violate her is strewn on the floor of the alleyway. As she reaches it, she rears back and kicks the spot between the legs, catching her foot against the crotch of the pants and sending the limbs flying a good twelve to fifteen feet to smack against a dumpster.
"I'm all good." the blonde vampire slayer says with a shrug as she turns back to face the three, giving a nod of thanks to the pair that had saved her. "Just wish you'd have saved me one." she finishes, giving a jab of her thumb towards the remains.

Grey's face reflected a slight part shame, and a slight part disappointment; something he now seemed to do with everyone that he met. He shrugged, and began walking away stoically, and Lia followed. Both stopped, and Grey smirked at Aminee.
"You need to work on your reflexes. Any slower, and someone could have gotten hurt. Keep this up, and you'll probably be sidelined in the resistance. Imai would even probably have a cow." Grey said smugly, and the bodies both dissipated in a spray of red; sliced to the smallest of pieces and apparently sent away, Grey's speed obviously the main factor.
His scythe dipped a bit, and Lia sighed and began simply walking off, smacking Grey lightly.
"Don't be so insensitive." She merely said, and left.
Grey, watched her walk, but shrugged and walked back.
"Aminee, what you think of this one? You're a recruiter right, or something like that?" Grey questioned as he walked over casually. Seeming to poke the new girls head lightly, and shrugging, he sat over by the wall, and checked his scythe's blade, seemingly for nicks and scratches that couldn't possibly exist on the blades steel.

((Aminee's hair is brown FYI, her pic base is Yuna from Final Fantasy X))
Aminee was relieved to see the woman was all right but then covered a hand over her mouth when she finally noticed the remains on the ground. So that's where the smell was coming from. She had been so concerned for Anna that she didn't even notice them on the ground and now that she saw them she wished she was still ignorant of their presence. As if to pour salt into the wound Grimm would open his mouth and note how slow she was on helping. Her head turned to Grimm, eyes narrowed and she glared at him before replying in a low pitch growl, "Fuck off!"
Turning back to Anna, the Pop Idol would dismiss Grimm and speak with the woman in front of her. "My name is Aminee Starlight, what's your name?"

Anna stifles a chuckle at the exchange between the guy with the scythe and the brunette, turning to face the latter as she introduces herself as Aminee.
"Anna." the blonde slayer replies, holding her hand out in a friendly manner. "Anna Bishop."
She steps away a moment later, pulling her pack of cigarettes out of her jacket and lighting on up.
"Are they all like that, the cops here?" Anna asks, blowing the smoke in her mouth upwards toward the moon. "This place seems really backwards."

Grey chuckled slightly and gave a rather stioc shrug at the question, returning his attention to the blade of his scythe.
"Miss Aminee here is the one with answers, not I. I'm merely a sort of mercenary, though obviously I'm doing this sort of work for free, what saving damsels in distress n' such."
Grey said cheerfully, and whistled to Aminee to come a little closer, holding up a small brooch; obviously stolen by these guards earlier.
"Hey, know anyone missing a small bit o' jewelry? Otherwise, we'll need to track down the owner, if they still live. If they are dead, I'll put it in the grave for you, if you like?" Grey meant the words to be somewhat sympathetic, but they came out smug instead, and he sighed in exasperation, silencing himself as he tossed the brooch to the young woman who'd cursed at him.
"Oh, and try not to swear. There are ladies present." Grey chuckled.

Aminee shook Anna's hand, as for her question, "Maybe not all of them but enough of them are like that to where it becomes a problem." The soldiers who took her in were terrible to her, but nothing compared to what the guards of the prison she was brought to did to her once she got there. It was an event that still scarred her even after all the months that has passed since it happened. Would she never recover from it and get her life back?
Then she caught a brooch that was thrown her way. Ignoring Grimm for the most part before tucking the brooch away in her pocket. "Right..."

Anna frowns slightly at the answer to her question, looking away for a moment as she took a drag off the cigarette. She looks back toward the spot where she was almost violated and shakes her head in disgust.
"You run a group that fights them?" the blonde asks Aminee, her eyes hard. "I want in."

Grey chuckled slightly, and couldn't help himself, seeming to get bored with just sitting down. He slowly got up and his scythe flashed from sight, his eyes eerie in the lack of light. Blue as they were, they resembled a sort of purple with no direct light, and he lightly rested a small seemingly sympathetic hand on Aminee; seeing a pain he didn't know of, he still felt inclined to at least leave her be.
"There's the Isofarian Resistance, and then there's my little outfit; The Eclipse Knights. Both are against the silly regime here, only difference is the resistance will take anyone; potential squires have to prove they have something to offer us." Grey said flatly, and he lightly smiled at the blonde.
"People like Aminee have potential I think. You might too, maybe. But, again, you have to prove yourself through several tests." Grey said proudly, as he walked slightly away.
"For now, I'd join that resistance of Aminee's I think. Good to get some basic training down at least." Grey chuckled, and walked back to sit at his previous spot, his pistol now flashing into view, a small rag joining it as the young man began to polish it, cleaning off any "dust" he seemed to find.

Aminee looked to Grimm. "Secret organizations not your strong suit?" Noting how quickly he made a complete stranger aware of their rebel faction with little more than a hello, how are you. No point playing dumb now as she looked back to Anna. "I don't 'run' anything. But I help where I can." If all goes well the Pop Idol was going to start thinking she had a snack for recruiting already being partly responsible for the joining of the Rookie, Wedge and Grimm. "You'd have to speak with either the Commander or the Captain." Aminee turned back to Grimm. "Think you can save us a trip and open one of those portal thingies into HQ?"

Grey chuckled and gave a shrug, an apologetic bow.
"Half of Isafaro knows the resistance by now; and not long will I have to wait until the knights are just as well known and respected." Grey explained.
Frowning slightly, he looked to the blonde at the request of the portal; unease hinting at his voice.
"It depends on if you both aren't afraid of the dark. And I'm not just talking about a 'no light' sort of dark either." Grey said. He raised a hand, and a portal of black erupted out from naught but air. He seemed to concentrate, and it flashed a little.
"Well, Anna was it?" Grey seemed to affirm himself, "If you would kindly step through first..."
His pistol flashed from view as he motioned toward the dark empty wormhole, his eyes a strange blue with the small light that emanated from it.
"Or, if you prefer we could just walk, probably." Grey mentioned simply, though his expression was one of distaste.
"But just don't slow us down if we do, and don't attract attention. Either way, Miss Anna, it's up to you."

Anna looks at the portal created by the dark haired man, a slightly intimidated look on her face before she gives a determined nod and steps forward, passing through the threshold of the crackling energy field.
Her wold spins for a moment and she tumbles out of the other end of the gateway, a thud echoing through out the room as she falls on the floor. She gives a quick shake of her head to clear the cobwebs, then quickly stands to her feet and moves out of the way so she didn't get trampled as the others came through.
"So where are we?" She asks curiously as the three others join her.

Grey stepped through next, his arm resting on the edge of the doorway so as to hold it open, his smug grin a little more than insulting.
"Geez, I don't know. Maybe Altenia. Maybe the resistance base like I was asked for?" Grey shook his head, and chuckled lightly. "What a nuisance."
He stepped out of the portals way once Aminee was through; and decided to keep quiet for now, presuming Aminee would be the one to speak for the base. He stood silent, and simply waited patiently; as best he could by pacing a bit.
"Hmph"
