It was night, a sky full of stars and a full moon remained raised over the city. The night-life of the city eagerly going on, people chatting and laughing, reveling in their favorite activities as crowds of people were pushed through by a lone man who appeared to be in his 40's. The man said a word to no-one, his eyes narrowed as he pushed past another crowd. Coming to a halt, the man looked up as he examined the sign of a certain night club, "This place... reeks..."
~~~
"We made loads on that last shipment!" a man in a purple coat laughed, lifting a glass of alchohol to his lips, drinking it as in the background the lights and sounds of the night club only raged. People danced, talked, and drank their hearts out on the floor below as these two nothing short of charming men drank to their own heart's content on the floor above.
"Yeah we did, with this we're due for a promotion..!" the other man, one who had various piercings decorating his face grinned. "Yeah yeah, so tonight, let's celebrate!"
The two men continued to laugh, and drink, unaware of the figure in the shadows. The figure beginning to approach them as the sounds of the night club muffled his steps. "Eh?" The man with piercings noticed the strange figure, perking up as he turned too it, "Ey, look at this guy--" he cut himself off as a strobe light came through their area and the short burst of red color revealed the details of the man.
A tall figure, well-clad in all black, with a tall and strong build. The feature that struck the most fear, was his face--and how it was clad in a white skeletal mask. The eye holes of the mask glowing red as the figure approached. "How many sins... have you committed?" The figure asked.
"Y-you're..!" the man with the piercings cried out.
"The S-skull M-man!--"
"Count them, and repent." The stranger's eyes glew brighter for a brief moment as he pulled out two knives and threw them at the two men.

Anna and Len were seated nearby, having a drink. It was one of the few times the man had extra time to make it to Japan...and they had been stealthy, entering through a mirror. Damn tabloids and all. Still....when the Skull man revealed himself, the two took notice.
"The hell is that." Len gave, quickly running that against the SHIELD database....coming back with nothing.
"He might be someone with powers, like us." Anna replied.
"Right. Let's see if those are undercover monsters he's fighting..."

The two men, of who had been impaled by the knives thrown by the Skull Man, had gone limp--as one normally would when taken in by Death's hand. Yet, as the Skull Man stood there, he knew there was more to come. Turning away though, as if ignoring the corpses, he bean to leave as quickly as he came--only to stop when he heard a strange noise, like something tearing. The flesh of the man in the purple jacket had suddenly torn apart as a large Lobster-like monster had burst from the human skin, extending a claw to attack the Skull Man.
Turning, the Skull Man ducked and pulled out a double-ended sword, stabbing the bottom end into the ground as he firmly held the upper end straight as it sliced along the extending outward Lobster Claw. His eyes glowing, the Skull Man would go on to notice the other 'corpse' beginning to twitch as its own flesh tore apart, revealing the form of a Hound-like monster in which had various silver piercings that resembled electrical rods in its body. The Skull Man attempted to throw a knife at the Hound, but it was only caught by the teeth as the Hound proceeded to crush the knife in its jaws. Yet the Skull Man didn't seem surprised by this, retaining a stoic expression as he always had.

"Come on." Len said quietly, pulling Anna along as they entered the mirror, and transformed without a word, twin blue power spheres appearing over them. Two armored figures emerged from the mirror, one shorter and feminine in nature, the other taller and more rough. Knight, and AeroKnight jumped across the club, the taller of the two tackling the Hound to the ground, and then kicking him to the side. It was too close quarters for weapons, so the Visors remained sheathed.
The shorter of the two paused, considering who to attack...

"..?" The Skull Man perked, seeing that his battle was interrupted by the appearance of two strangers. Punching the sliced Lobster claw upwards as he stood and tore out his sword from the ground. Twirling past a swing of it he spun his sword and slashed the claw at the joint severing it.
The Lobster Monster let out a screech of pain, holding up its stump that was once a full arm. Fluids dripping onto the floor as its screech increased in volume. The Skull Man appeared to be dissatisfied with this, his eyes glowing red--he had no intention of being involved with others, sheathing his blade into his jacket.

"Who...are you?" the girl asked, looking at Skull-man, while the other fought the Hound with martial arts.

"...A Punisher." He told her, not looking at her, "Those who have sinned will meet me and never know peace will they, for I appear only to deliver them into the Purgatory they deserve to be in." He recited, before turning his head to her, his eyes glowing.

"Would it help if we left?" She asked simply, the fight going on behind her, Hound was doing well against the martial arts style.

"They'll die either way. Thus my job is complete whether you stay or leave." He told her sternly, glancing over at the Lobster Monster which had begun to move again. "Hmph." The Skull man lifted an arm, going to draw a weapon as the Lobster Monster approached him and the woman.

Knight drew her DarkVisor, the slender rapier blade, and slashed low at the Lobster monster.
AeroKnight picked up the broad part of a table, and smashed it over the Hound's head. Then he used TrickVent, making three of himself which proceeded to beat the sh*t out of the Hound from various sides.

The Lobster was slashed, but it persisted, opening its mouth it began to spew purple bubbles in direction of the feminine Knight. Curious, the Skull Man threw a throwing knife at one bubble--watching as it popped and its purple colored contents splashed onto the floor. As he watched, he noticed the ground beginning to sizzle as the floor began to melt apart.
"Acid carrying Bubbles."

Anna jumps back just in time to avoid the bubbles, looking to the older man. "Th...thank you.." she gave. That had been too close.

He looked at the female, left silent by her expression of gratitude. Without a word he looked back to the Lobster Monster, his eyes beginning to glow red as he glared it down. "...You're welcome."
Suddenly the Skull Man began to move forward, running left-to-right he threw a handful of knives to pop any incoming acidic bubbles. When one had gotten past his flurry of knives, the Skull Man crouched a brief moment and leapt over it--twisting around in the air as with quick strength and agility he swung his leg and smashed the Lobster Monster's face inward from the side. The Monster sent into a table--its face's shell having been cracked deeply as a green blood-like substance began to seep out.
The Skull Man merely landed on the ground, standing up tall as he gazed down upon the wounded Lobster. "...Not quite over."

Anna backs away. "I'll leave the finisher to you." She conceded, watching him work...

The Skull Man nodded, eyes glowing brightly he moved towards the Lobster slowly. He took step-after-step towards the downed monster, only for it to sprout back to life--lunging for him with both claws at the ready. Displaying no change in emotion at the sight of the monster's lunge for him, the Skull Man merely twisted his body to the side--dodging one claw. The other claw was swung downward to the Skull Man like a hammer, but it was stopped by the skeletal vigilante with a mere index finger holding it up.
"You deserve no better than the Death Penalty." He spoke grimly, "Think about the sins you have committed in the next world--if even possible." He swung his leg--slashing the Lobster across the chest with it horizontally before lifting the same leg and slamming it downward at the Lobster. The force of the leg attacks causing the Lobster to crack all over before stepping backwards--it screeched out before it swelled up and exploded. The Skull Man turning away, swinging his left arm in the air horizontally before doing it again with a downward vertical motion.
"Hanketsu: Shikei"
