Kakeru reached with his free hand inside his coat, pulling out a thick silver chain with three odd charms on it. "Another antique of mine, a waist chain with three ancient charms, supposedly magical." With a chuckle, he placed it on the table, next to the ring.

The host's left eye twitched almost imperceptibly, and his pupils widened a little. He pulled out another die, identical to the first, and placed it on the table.
"Alright then." Camden said, turning and burning another two cards. A 7 of Hearts was face-up in the center of the table.

Kakeru grinned. His plan was working better than expected, so it was time to lock it and claim the prize. "I'm gonna raise again. This time, an antique necklace, said to have belonged to Iskander. That's all I have, I'm all in." He reached for the necklace draped around his neck, pulling it off and placing it on the table, then sneering at his opponent.

The host's pupils widened further, now almost completely taking up the space once occupied by the iris. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring, with a brilliant diamond set in it.
"My mother's wedding ring." He set it on the table.
Camden turned and burned another few cards. A Jack of Diamonds now sat face-up.

Kakeru smiled wryly, as he very carefully used the device hidden in his sleeve to switch the cards in his hand, making damned sure his opponent couldn't see him. "Alright, looks like we're both All In. Or are you holding out, signore?"

"That's all I have." The host said, the muscles in his neck beginning to stand out slightly.
"Assuming we're good." Camden said, turning and burning one last time. A 9 of Hearts. "Let's see your hands."
The man set down his cards, revealing that he had a 8 and a 9 of Hearts.
"One pair." Camden said, looking to Kakeru.

Kakeru smiled, flipping his cards. "Jacks of Hearts and Spades. Three of a kind. I guess that makes it my win."

There was an audible ripping noise. The man's shirt had torn down the back, and his pupils almost dominated his entire eye. He slammed a fist onto the table, breaking it in half.
"NO ONE BEATS ME! NO ONE!" He roared, his voice becoming deeper and more animalistic as his body changed, his muscles almost tripling in size.
"You've got to be kidding me." Camden muttered, backing away from the table.

Kakeru scoffed a little, visibly annoyed. "Come on, man. Nobody likes a sore loser. Now then, maybe I should show off the hand I kept hidden." He laughed, swiping up the Artifacts he'd bet with, and slipping Iskander's Pendant back on, and slipping the others into his coat pockets, before lowering his hand to his waist. "Alright guys, let's kick it! Place your bets~!" As he called out, his belt appeared on his waist, and he slipped out four cards, slotting them in. "Henshi~n!" At his call, his suit and armor formed around him, made up of Wolf, Dragon, Serpent, and Gator.

"A hero. Of course." Camden muttered, typing 0-0-Enter into the Red Changer and forgoing the call, summoning his armor in a flash of light. He slipped the Greaves of Mercury onto his legs, and stood ready to go.
People began running out of the building, but the now-Hulked-out host was focused with laser precision on Kakeru. He roared and charged, swinging at him.

Kakeru took a very sturdy stance, holding his arms out towards the host. Reinforcing his stance, he waited as the hulked-out host charged, waited to grab hold of him, and throw him off to the side, out of the way of fleeing civilians.

The host charged, but Camden took the initiative, zooming in and delivering a series of kicks at hyper-speed to the side of the inhuman creature's head, knocking it to the side into a bank of slot machines.

Kakeru scoffed, shifting his stance into a non-combative one. "Damn, should've known one of you lot'd show up. First that shiny bastard takes the sword, now you try to butt in on this one. Well back off, I won the damn things fair and square." He took another stance, leaping at Camden with a large energy gator, aiming to chomp down on him.

"Jesus, man!" Camden yelled, dodging out of the way with the enhanced speed granted him by the Greaves. "My boss and I are two completely different people! I'm just here to kick the crap out of this guy and maybe claim whatever the hell made him so lucky!"

Kakeru landed, taking a more defensive stance. "Well, you missed your chance at the Artifact. If you want to help me take this big lout out, be my guest, but there's no reward." He snarled a bit, waiting for action from either the host or Camden.
