Duskie runs, Hibby's hand in his, flames covering both their steps. The Nightmare they're chasing jumps from rooftop to rooftop, and by the frantic movements it's clear it didn't expect something that could jump after it. But Duskie's still running, jumping to and fro each rooftop and smiling. A glint in his eyes says "You think you can outrun me?", and a smile graces his lips as he watches the monster stop and turn around, growling.
Duskie himself stops, the flames at his feet dying down. His right hand is still gripping onto Hibby's as he summons his gun into his left hand and points it directly at the monster. "I won't let you hurt people... I'll stop you, no matter what." He says, and takes a deep breath. "And the flames of my heart that burn so brightly and want you to stop... TASTE THEM! FIREBALL OF HEROISM!" He pulls the trigger, and a large yellow fireball shoots out of his gun and strikes the monster down in one strike.
He exhales, unsummoning his gun, and looks at Hibby. "Needs some work, huh? I... don't have any good ideas for names." He sighs. "And I don't want to use my brothers' Busters, because I want one that's made for a gun- urk!"
Hibby let go of Duskie's hand while he was talking and was currently shaking him by the collar, her voice letting out a "AGAGAGAGAGAGAG" instead of an actual, angry scolding that most would envision coming from this moment, before letting go of him to deliver the scolding proper. "Buster on a common Nightmare!?" He signed. "In the middle of the day? On a rooftop!?"
"I- I..." Duskie stammers, having fell right to the ground. "I need a cool looking Buster of my own, Hibby!" He yelled, tears in his eyes. "Knight and Odio have their own cool Busters and I don't!"
Hibby looks down at him. "Can you not practice your cool Busters and speeches during training?" He signs. "I would think Translucent would allow or even encourage that of you, given-"
Translucent- a red cat with orange eyes- runs up towards them. "Nice Buster!" She yells. "But I think it needs more work! How about this..." She strikes a pose the best a cat could. "'If you act like an outlaw, I'll execute you like one! BULLET OF JUSTICE!' Y'know, since you're a cowboy!"
Duskie's eyes fills with tears, and he runs over to scoop Translucent up. "It's amazing, thank you!" He clings to her close, crying happily.
Hibby offers him a hand, a smile on her face. Duskie looks up at him. "...You're not mad at me anymore?"
"Slightly." She signs. "But regardless, we are a team."
Duskie takes his hand and looks around the place. "Where do you think the Nightscape that thing came from is, Hibby? I need to kill that thing..."
Hibby pulls out her staff and takes a look inside, focusing, before pointing to an alleyway.
Duskie bolts off towards there immediately, taking Hibby with him- they have a Nightscape to resolve, after all!
