The swirl of his trench-coat as he sprinted between cover was the only sound made as Felix Nyanko darted between crates, his grace was almost feline. Which is fitting given he was also a cat man. His black fur etched into a frown as he curled his way into the warehouse. Vargas was a bastion of law and order in Nyanko's eyes, Raverita in general was far and away safer than most local countries. When it came to weird invasions by aliens and wizards, the locals seemed pretty good at curtailing it. Still, Nyanko had heard some worrying things lately. About a strange old man who came to this warehouse every couple of days, each time bringing new body-parts and leaving with none.
Nyanko was suspicious.
He was a suspicious cat.
He snuck in through the sole open window and dropped down heavily to the ground behind the old man.
"Freeze!" He held his pistol out and flicked his tail aggressively "Put your hands on your head and step away from the..."
Nyanko had no words for what the old man was standing by.
It was 15 feet tall, had at least one enormous crab claw and what looked like an octopus for a face. It was also stuffing legs into it's mouth with large slurping sounds. The old man looked apologetically at Nyanko
"Sorry, it was so small when I met it, I couldn't let the poor boy starve"
The eldritch monstrosity growled
"Oh dear, Timmy seems upset-" the unfortunate, possibly senile, old man was smacked into the far wall by the claw as 'Timmy' roared and charged through the hail of Nyanko's bullets.

"YES! I get to eat dinner!" Niku leapt up from the table and did a cheery little dance as he scooped up his chips and swaggered his way across to the cash out desk. He was still beaming when the security walked over and tapped him on the shoulder, producing the still floating roulette ball with a scowl. Niku blinked for a moment as he tried to think of a lie.
"Ta-da?"
He grunted as he landed chest first on the tarmac with a stern old butler declaring he was banned for life. Niku groaned as his stomach rumbled and dragged himself up. The sun was starting to set now and made the entire town awash in a pleasant glow of amber. He smiled to himself as he enjoyed the nice scenery. At least nothing else could go wrong.
Which was naturally the cue for a large fish monster to begin destroying the casino. Niku paused for a second. He did have a life time ban. He'd be breaking it if he went inside so really he should just go...

Nyanko was panting, his coat damaged as he fired his gun with an empty click. The creature was too big, all the damage he'd done was being repelled by the creature's protective field. He'd wound up inside a casino now, he was pretty sure it had punched him here as it advanced. He never thought he'd go like this. Killed by a Sea-Demon called 'Timmy'. He heard bawling from besides him as a small child (who Nyanko immediately knew had terrible parents) was lying dead in the path of the thing. He dashed across to her and shielded her with his body, eyes scrunched up to avoid having to see when the terrible claw... stopped above him?
He opened his eyes to see a young man in a T-shirt and jeans, crackling with an aura of blue lighnint as he was straining to hold the claw off. And swearing violently to himself
"Why am I so stupid!? What the hell is wrong with meeee!" this final note was punctuated by Niku hauling the enormous creature over his shoulder and sending it sailing a few feet away from Nyanko and the child.
"Cat dude, you owe me. If anyone asks, I definitely didn't aim for that expensive table."
Timmy was already recovering, but it seemed the young man was ready. Rolling his shoulders, Niku clenched his arms and there was a brilliant cerulean flash as his aura sparked into life.
"Alright Future Sushi, let's do this thing"
