After taking a self guided tour around Central city, Brandon decided it was time to get some dough into his pocket if he was to afford some of the basic equipment he would need to make himself stronger and quicker. "Hmmm... Where to get a job.... something temporary...." He said to himself as he scratched his chin. "If you like women so much, why not pimp yourself out?" a voice in Brandons head said, as Brandon shook his head.
"Your Sarcasm doesnt work on me Verlith. Im quite serious here. I need Zenie badly... I havent eaten in days... Im already starting to slim up from that." He said, patting his stomach which was sore from the lack of food. He was still clueless on half of the planet he was on, but he somewhat knew enough to get himself by. "Lets try the supermart... Er...large stores. They are always looking for people." He said, looking around for any large places that were hiring.

It was midday. The sun was peeking betwixt two large fluffy clouds, the blue was almost surreal, and the market was loud. Peoples of many shapes, sizes, forms, and even colors pushed, shoved, shouted, trying to sell, buy, and sometimes even steal. For a wide shouldered woman, it was difficult to maneuver. Her wings were furled against her back, and her shell-like skin jutted out over her shoulders, causing people to bump into her, curse, and sometimes fall.
Tenshi was simply trying to find a job. She'd run low on money, and needed to get reunited with Conri, her ring leader. The valkyrie had been far too long away from her circus, the latest adventure of her mind sending her into a spiral of fear and depression. It was all she could do to move along, get up and go.
Finally, she found herself in a less crowded concrete room. It had three walls, and a ceiling, where the fourth wall should have been being open to the market itself. A rarity, as usually an ideal spot like this was taken almost immediately. It could be assumed that whomever had taken it had simply already packed up, after ridding themselves of their wares. As there were people in here, Tenshi figured that they were setting up their stands. 'Might as well take a moment here to gather my thoughts and surroundings.'

After finding his way into the marketplace, Brandon saw that it was very overcrowded with people all over the place. "This place is so packed... Might have to think about having a moving day sale here one day...oh wait..." He said, as he realized that he had nothing to move. He was all on his own, and his thoughts returned to his home as he mindless stumbled through the marketplace, close to where Tenshi had parked herself.
Brandons train of thought was suddenly interuppted when he heard someone yell "THIEF", and Brandon saw a man running toward him with a purse, which obviously didnt belong to him. Two police officers were soon on his trail, trying to catch up but the theif knew how to navigate the crowds better then they did, and was getting away. Brandon saw that the Theif was a human, and waited until the thief was almost next to him, as he then suddenly extended his arm and clothslined the thief, causing him to go ass over teakettle and fall to the ground.
This caused him to fall down, facefirst close to Tenshi, but the cops quickly grabbed him and started to drag him off as Brandon sighed and leaned up against the wall, just around the corner from Tenshi. "Geeze, People must be desperate for cash if they are risking jail time for it... "

Lost in thought, Tenshi never even heard the cry of Thief! nor saw the culprit, until he was laying in front of her feet. She took a startled step back, glancing as a pair of police grabbed the criminal and drug him away, wrenching the purse from his grasp.
"Geeze, People must be desperate for cash if they are risking jail time for it... "
The voice came from outside of the covering, and it caught Tenshi unawares. Her wings ruffled together, and she let out a tch noise of startlement. She merely shrugged in response.
"You'll find people are willing to do anything, when money is on the line." She looked at the man around the corner, wondering who he was, and why he was here. She often wondered that, though typically about herself. She was a total enigma in her mind, not entirely sure as to who she was, where she'd come from, what she was doing here... Plus, thinking about this man was one way of procrastinating what she should be doing.

Brandon also jumped when he heard a female voice reply to him, as he saw a woman with wings come out from behind the corner. He couldnt help but look her over, and tried to figure out what she was. A Winged people were never shown in any anime that he knew of, so this was completely new to him. He looked back up to her eyes and smiled as he said "Its true, Money can turn people ugly, and then theres people who need it to survive. Many pardons, My names Brandon...." he said as he turned to face her.
"Whats your name?" He asked. He might just appear like any other normal human, but if Tenshi were to try and sense his energy, it would feel very different then the people around him. And his clothes were that of seemingly a different style then the others. Blue jeans, Black tshirt, a old fashioned watch, and a rather strange looking bracelet that was seemingly melted into his skin.
"Heh, Pardon for asking, but since I noticed your wings, I have to ask... Are you an angel of sorts?" he added, as a smile slowly crept across his face. From what Brandon could see, the girl before him had a seemingly unrivaled beauty, but it seemed almost too flawless. The white wings though made him all teh more curious as to who, and what she was...

"Its true, Money can turn people ugly, and then theres people who need it to survive. Many pardons, My names Brandon...."
Like herself, the man had been slightly startled at her response. He'd introduced himself as Brandon. He seemed normal enough, Tenshi not in the mood for feeling power signatures. She was really only half there, most of her mind in inner turmoil, and off in some distant land of thought. Brandon was wearing jeans and a black shirt, an abnormality that was missed by Tenshi, given her work in a circus. She was used to anything being able to happen.
"Whats your name?" He asked. His eyes had looked over her, not glancing, but lingering. He almost seemed to be fawning over her, and this immediately made Tenshi wary. Usually men like him were bad news, and the reason that she was who she was. She bit her lip slightly, before deciding there was no harm in answering. After all, she'd shown that she could handle her own, should the worst arise. "My name is Tenshi. Its a pleasure to meet you, Brandon.
"Heh, Pardon for asking, but since I noticed your wings, I have to ask... Are you an angel of sorts?" A smile crept creepily across his countenance, adding to Tenshi's tension. She decided to pay it no mind, keeping in mind her previous thoughts. "I guess you could say that...I'm a Valkyrie, of which there are few left. I can only guess, not knowing much about my heritage, that we received the name from humans, given that Nordic mythlore has beings akin to us. They could technically be angels. But as I'd said, I don't know much about my own lore." For all she knew, at some point, her people could have truly been the valkyrie of myth and legend.
"What are you doing here?" It was an awkward question to ask a stranger, but said stranger did look out of place. And that was saying something, considering that they were in the middle of Market in Central City.

"A Valkyrie eh? That would explain a bit... And I used to think Valkyries were only in myth and legends... But now that Im seeing you in person, your really something." He said, as he looked around to make sure that no one was staring at them. he saw one man trying to sneak up behind Tenshi, hoping to get a good grab at her butt. An older man with a bit of a white beard, but Brandon glared at him. When the older man saw Brandons glare, he immediately yelped and ran away.
"This place isnt exactly the best of place for a woman like you I dont think...Alot of perverts around here." He said, as Brandon heard in his head "Oh ya, and your sooo not one of them right?" which made Brandons cheeks turn a bright red colour as he tried not to snap at Verlith.
"What are you doing here?"
Is what she asked him, and Brandon honestly replied "Looking for a job...well, someone to get a job with maybe... I dont exactly have alot of knowledge of this era...or world yet. I was hoping to find someone who has a bit more...knowledge then what I already have..."

"A Valkyrie eh? That would explain a bit... And I used to think Valkyries were only in myth and legends... But now that Im seeing you in person, your really something." Tenshi wasn't quite sure what to say to that, so she just made a "hm" sound. She saw Brandon glaring over her shoulder, and took a glance, to see an old man scurrying away.
"This place isnt exactly the best of place for a woman like you I dont think...Alot of perverts around here." Brandon said. Tenshi knocked on her breast plate, making a hard sound, as if knocking on stone.
"I have two layers of skin, soft and supple that is skin colored. The 'armour' is made from some sort of bone material, that Valkyrie produce. It covers me like clothes. Perverts will have a hard time getting anything they'd like."
In response to Tenshi asking what he was doing here, Brandon replied, "Looking for a job...well, someone to get a job with maybe... I dont exactly have alot of knowledge of this era...or world yet. I was hoping to find someone who has a bit more...knowledge then what I already have..."
Tenshi shrugged. "I don't know what you mean by that...but I'm not likely your best bet. I actually haven't been here long myself. I came with a...with a band of friends. I took a short job, which required us to part ways, and then wound up...lost I guess you could say?" She turned her head, not wanting to continue with that story. "As for looking for a job, I need one as well. I haven't been able to pick up anything."

"So.... You have a natural armour, that your own body produces... Interesting. My Fiance has living armour herself. She can....turn it on and off at will." He said, as he then listened to how she said that she might not be the best person to help him out since she hasnt been there much herself. "Well then we have a few things in common, All teh more that we should stick together..." He was saying before he started to hear a public broadcast over the PA system in the market.
"Attention all citizens. There are reports of a winged reptilian beast heading towards Central City. Please be calm, and move indoors. Police Officers will assist. Attention to all capable fighters, There is a sizable reward to anyone who can eliminate the creature. That is all."
After the message played, Brandon looked to Tenshi as he smirked. "Well, If that isnt a good job for cash, I dont know what is. Shall we?" He asked, as soon enough, the people in the marketplace started to panic, as everyone tried to scramble to get home before the real trouble started.
And sure enough, as the streets emptied out, there was a loud roar that caused nearby windows to shake. "Damn it, They fly fast!"

After the message played, Brandon looked to Tenshi as he smirked. "Well, If that isnt a good job for cash, I dont know what is. Shall we?"
Tenshi shrugged again. She wasn't quite sure what to make of Brandon yet. And sizable reward did sound promising...but winged reptilian beast? Hell if she knew what that was.
The streets quickly cleared out. This wasn't the first time an event had interrupted the sales and barterinng of Central City. By now, they were used to it. Brandon and Tenshi made their way up the street, Tenshi keeping her wings folded behind her. They hadn't gone far when they heard an obnoxious roar. Glass in windows rattled slightly, and Tenshi glanced up.
"Damn it, they fly fast!" Brandon exclaimed.
"They?" Tenshi's tone was questioning towards Brandon. Not only was he sketchy, but he seemed to know what Central City was about to get involved with. Whatever it was, it sounded large, but definitely nothing that the winged woman couldn't handle, and assuredly easily with the help of her mysterious compatriot.

"Dont tell me you dont know what a Dragon is... Do you?" He asked, as he walked over to a nearby fire escape ladder in a alleyway nearby and knocked it down so they could climb up to the roofs. Fighting such a creature in the streets was much too dangerous for the public.
He looked back at her as he asked "If you can fly, Could you please get up to the roof, and find out where it is? And if its alone?" as just shortly after asking it, a Large grey dragon suddenly flew over the alleyway, breathing not fire, but a super cold stream of air that caused the walls and parts of the ladder to freeze in a coat of ice. "Oh no wonder they put a price on this thing.... Bloody Frost Dragon!" He said, as he started to climb the ladder, to get up to the roof.
"Shit thats cold!" He said, shaking his hands every few steps. His hands were already starting to feel numb by the time he reached the 2nd floor, out of several floors. He looked back down to Tenshi as he said "Dont let that thing breathe on you, or thats the end of ya!"

"A dragon?" This confused and outraged Tenshi. Dragon's didn't exist, they'd gone extinct thousands of years ago. How dare this lunatic make mockery of these poor, defenseless people? She opened her mouth to stage her complaints, but was interrupted by another loud roar. And sure as all hell, the dragon flew over them, spewing frozen water from its mouth. She leapt into the air, avoiding the deadly spray, wings unfurling, spreading in an incandescent array. "Holy hell!" she shouted towards Brandon.
""Dont let that thing breathe on you, or thats the end of ya! "
"No shit!" The valkyrie didn't mean any sort of disrespect, and only used that phrase due to the sudden immense amount of fear that had fallen upon her. A real dragon...what was happening? She began to draw in ki, watching the dragon's movements. The sudden change in temperature of the air was causing her wings to become laden with water, her skin sweating ever so slightly. It would be a tough battle to fight, and they'd have to make it quick. She put her hands in front of her, fingers curved in a C.
A flash of light announced the bringing forth of her ki spear, a weapon that she'd mastered. Tenshi called her spear Gungnir, though it was far from mythical. It could take on almost any spear-like shape, and now, looked like a massive boar spear. With the elongated and wide tip, the shaft met the bottom of the blade, and a few feet down the haft, a cross beam. This was to catch any charging boar, or in this case dragon, before the creature hit the wielder.
"Let's do this, Gungnir!" She prepared a battle stance, waiting on the right moment to attack, preferably when the dragon had turned around.

Brandon continued to climb up the frozen ladder, up towards the roof. Somewhat ignoring what Tenshi was doing at that time. When he got to the top, he quickly gave a look around as he spotted the dragon actually gliding down onto a street near their position.
"Well Ill be damned.... Is it me? Or is that Dragon accepting the challenge from Tenshi?"He asked himself, as he stood on the roof, looking down on the scene as the dragon was staring directly at Tenshi. While it was still at the other end of the street, its size allowed it to start to quickly close the distance, as it charged at the Valkyrie.
"Go for the eyes!" He said, as he remembered how he fought his first dragon solo, so he then added "The top of its skull is weak to heavy blunt attacks as well!" as he quickly looked around for something large and heavy to push onto the dragons head. But as he quickly looked back at the dragon and Tenshi to see what was going on, he noticed that this dragon wasnt grey like the other, it had more of a red and golden colour to it. "The hell? Dragons cant change their scale colour.... Unless..." He thought, and immediatly he knew that there was more then one dragon.
Another roar was heard, but Tenshi could easily see that the amber dragon advancing on her wasnt the source of the roar. Brandon soon saw the grey dragon soar up from anotehr street, charging towards him. "Tenshi! Theres 2 Dragons! Ill have to take care of the Frost Dragon. You deal with that other dragon. But be careful, I dont know what kind of attacks it has!"

As the dragon turned around and landed in the street farther down from Tenshi, the Valkyrie noticed that its scales had changed colors. Instead of a gray color, they were now red and black. She heard the man behind her shout out to go for the eyes, or hit the head with a blunt attack. The eyes would be easier, her spear pointed, but she had no blunt weapons or objects large nor heavy enough to damage a dragon's head. Its fleshy underbelly, though, would make a delicious target.
Brandon shouted at her again from behind. "Tenshi! Theres 2 Dragons! Ill have to take care of the Frost Dragon. You deal with that other dragon. But be careful, I dont know what kind of attacks it has!" This was subsequently followed by a roar, which clearly did not come from the dragon before her. The shout, roar, and information were distraction enough for Tenshi to turn her head, which in turn caused her to get slammed into a wall by the red dragon's tail.
"Shit!" Her wings cushioned her fall, but by taking brute damage like that, would likely hurt to use for a while. She would have to fight this damnable beast on foot. She pushed herself off of the bricks, shaking out her left arm, ready to fight. The dragon before her gave out a roar as if in response to the other one. Spear behind her, braced against her arm, Tenshi prepared for a battle the likes she'd never seen.

The Dragon Tenshi was facing off saw that it had Tenshi on the ropes, and seemed content with its opponent, as it seemed to just stare at Tenshi. It then opened its mouth, as if to roar, but roaring wasnt it was doing, as a 'torrent' of fire was suddenly spewed out, right at Tenshi, as the dragon had intended to cook her alive.
"TENSHI!" Brandon cried, as he saw the dragon start to spew its fire out at the Valkyrie. But then his attention turned back to the frost dragon that was coming at him. He was out in the open, a bad move on his part, as he quickly sought to find cover. He saw stack of concrete bags from construction, and saw that it was hanging above the ledge via cables, over where Tenshi and her dragon were fighting. The Frost Dragon roared at Brandon as it approached, as he made a dive for the stack of bags.
He felt the air go cold around him as he took cover, as the Dragon flew by. The cables froze solid as he heard the pallet that the concrete bags creek and that gave him an idea. "Keep it there!" He said, as he gave the cable a good kick, causing it to snap, whipping him across the face hard. But with the broken cable, the pallet came loose, as the other cables broke free, as the 400 pound stack of bags came crashing down ontop of the Red dragon.
Dust would be kicked up when the stack fell on the dragon, as well as blood was sprayed from its mouth, canceling out its fire attack.
