He then carried it on by ripping the window out from its socket harshly that resulting with loud cracking bruck-brack sound that thundering incongruously with the fitting silent of the night that haidy clock put her forefinger lazily at fifty three past eleven, following shortly by him throwing it to the side.

*Brack*

*Crunch-crash*

He then jumped inside in a cool, fashioned manners.

Then landed with swoosh of rising hope that clucking at his adrenaline, tapping with cadence for a prelude of a fight he hope could energized him amidst his life that start to get boring and repetitive. Though he wanted dead, he is in no way accepted it from losing on a fight.

There came some greasy clamours of disorganized multitude of people that seems staggered by the noise that interrupting their relaxed daddy bunny time, following shortly with rattles of footsteps approaching the door that light peeping at the slit around on the edge of it.

Putting both of his hands on the pocket of his grey hoodie, he striding step by step passing some debris that strewn around that full with some teeny-weeny glass, piece of chipped concrete that broken revealing its mixture of sand, gravel and cement, broken furniture like tables, chairs, cupboards and such, along with some substance that even with something in between which putting his eyes foggily blue, he somewhat could guess about such things that drabbed around as white paint that straggle in a stormy crap, contoured by unsightly fella surely cause how random and ugly it was, at least for him.

Until which he finally arriving at the side of the door with some yelp and craggy voices that start to get hectic inside, that also put his ear itchy and foamy.

*Bang*

The banging of the door, accompanied by croaky shrilling voice of a man that trying to sound menacing, "WHO'S THERE?"

Then a man shown up in front of Tori with its matted hair that look like an Apollo thrown on the dump, soggy look that put a frown on a gods alike, bushy eyebrows that…

*Wham*

Description that cut short by a thumping sound from Tori who punch without even a second thought that by then put the lanky guy crashing on the door with krkatak pow that broke the door.

There's some red vertical pattern like an iron bars on his face now that as such resulted from the skeleton hands that attached on Tori's hand. An equipment he like to used on a fight against those who mostly are what's left of the Guard Dogs.

Tori then prepare himself by putting a motion that soon following by a left roundhouse kicked to the upper side that connected to the face of an oily man that just came shortly to the open door.

*Bang*

He then stepping back trying to clear space for him to move.

Shortly, there's few people out from the door while claggering with some blocks of wood, "You fuc… Damn, Night Enforcers*." The tall man said, taken aback after finding the one who attacked them are people they feared the most.

"He's alone. Crack him out and take the mask." One of them put his own after observing that the guy in front of them are alone there.

"Yeah right. You damn sh*t. You think what you doin' here's alone, act like a tough nut."

"Yeah.. beat the sh*t out of him."

"F*ck him out."

"Stripe him and see how he beg mercy after I'm done banging him on the ass." Said the lithe freckled man loudly with a perverted dirty smile, dreary white undershirt that look questionable for when did it even washed, and short pants that zipper are undone.

Everyone then stopped with silence and aghast sickening look while in sudden turn of their head, all of them then put their gaze on him, while the closes are putting few stepped away from him.

A merry silence then enveloping the situation their in right now, that even put Tori's eyes on the nasty, repulsive man.

Then suddenly,

"I know it, you ba*ta*d. You're the one who caressing my butt before right."

"Darn sh*t, no wonder you never joinin' on the fun. Now I see."

"That must be the reasons some new guy seems f**k*d up. It's you."

"… …"

"… …"

"I, I. I… I didn't mean that way. Just some… Aaaah."

While they busy boisterously squabbles and tussled in a fight among themselves, Tori who saw that then took something from the bag on his waist.

Somethings that shaped in a triangle with the colour of silver and divided line on each of its straight sided until it connected to the circle on the middle.

He then pressed his thumb at the circle that lit it with blue electric arc that swam in the inside of it, he followed the actions by throwing it at the middle of that throng.

After it landed dubbly on the ground, it then flicked apart from the divided line of it. Then an arc of electric started to accumulated shortly at the circle on the middle, surged to its entire opened line, shortly followed by quavering in a clacked sound that keep jumping on the dirty floor faster and faster until…

*SZZZZZZT*

The explosion of blue arc then spreading around, until by which like a splash of water, it put all on its area that affected by it that clearly belong to the quarrelled group, convulsed by the electric, that put them dancing in a specified spasm manner until they finally collapsed into the ground.

...

Some of them seems twitching slightly, wrinkled around on the floor while losing their conciousness.

"Hummm, it's easier than what I t…"

Tori then cut shortly by a knife that glimmering in the dark passing over above his head, then again came a punch that finding its way on his face after he stepping back.

He used his left hand to deflected it to the side, but a left knee made his left hand again moved, subconsciously blocking it. Stopping the attack from harming him.

A slash came again to his face that he dodged by put his head to the back swiftly, but a kick to his right successfully connected that banging him until he thrown back, though he still using his hand to blocked it.

'Strong. And where the hell did he came from.'

A man in black revealed in front of his eyes that swiftly running again approaching him.

*Bang*

*Bang*

*Clank*

They then clashing by a punch, kick, elbow, knee, and slash from the knife in the black figure's hand which Tori trying to find a chance to get rid from the opponent hands since he notice, it was the most dangerous attack from the wielding proficiency shown by the one he fight right now.

'Now.' Tori thought in between of their fights

Tori then tightened his fingers.

And by using the shield on his skeleton hands, he then put a smooth back slap move that clanging with the knife slash from the move on the opponent left hands.

*Clank*

*Bang*

Blocking the punch that again clanging from the collision of steel that Tori notice from the opposite side who using some kind of steel gloves on his right, he used his free right hand by punching on the shadowy figure stomach that put the person coughing in a fit raucously after stopping himself from unexpectedly strong force from the punch that made a trail that dragged him to the back.

But Tori doesn't plan to beat around the bush and prolonged the fight.

He shortly arrived in the front of the one Tori recognized from its short cough as a man.

The man in black then trying to slash which Tori had already deduce by stopping his run he purposely done by using terse rapid step that enable him to easily dodging amidst his fast leg movement, added with bending his back a little that made the knife failure to hit the target.

He keep up by putting a strong swift punch to the man's wrist in his still slashing motion.

*Crack*

*Clank*

*Errrghh*

Cracking sound of bones broken, that soon catch up by falling knife that clanking on the floor and the painful groan of the masked man that he muffled by gritted his teeth as a sign of a professional fighters or maybe an assassin that Tori notice in short moment of it arriving on his eardrums.

After that,

The wooshing sound came up from the friction of air from the swift left kick from Tori that targeted at the man's head.

The man trying to block with his right hand that still fine and well, but failed. Seems underestimated the strength that Tori put on his leg that quite struck him and put a ringing bell on his head. It ended with the former in perilous state where his defense are open wide that surely the latter won't be no way wasted it.

With a punch that he put his strength in it, it arrived right at the man's face. Impaling it with sharp painful suffering that chilling his mind back to where he now beaten. It also put a nice crunching sound of a broken nose that put a smile on Tori's face, that unfortunately hidden behind his mask.

*Bang*

*Brakk*

It thrown the man to crashing a broken furniture that hella hell no way could it even be recognized as table anymore.

*Crash*

Tori then looking at his fist that doing the deed, with its gleaming metallic that came from the skeleton hand.

'Indeed, punching sensation from the skeleton hands is still the best by far.'

"I don't even using my bat yet.."

… …

*Night Enforcers are what most of those gangsters, criminals and such called those member from the Scavengers.

Since they are group from the Justice Enforcers that mostly organized and deployed at night to handle some problems that already finding its way on the headquarters table.
