Cass took the series of attacks and was knocked back, putting up some resistance, but unable to get a proper teleport out. He looked up in time to see Takatora's blade slashing him across the helmeted face, sending Cass rolling aside.
He hit his knife three times. He drew his sword back as it glowed green and slashed Cass through the chest, creating a "cutting moon" after-image, with the melon standing in for a moon.
Cass fell to his knees and collapsed, his Advent Deck landing on the ground.

Cass slowly came to his knees and coughed up some blood, "I know men like you...," he hissed to Takatora, "You think yourself a warrior. A soldier. You're nothing...nothing more than a pale imitation. You've never killed before...you probably wouldn't be able to live with that guilt."
Takatora glared at him. He returned to his human form, "And I won't be killing you," he said, "You won't be my first kill."
Cass laughed as he coughed up more blood, "Too bad. Do you know how much damage you just did to my organs?" He slid to the ground, coughing out more blood, "Live with this...," he grunted.
Takatora looked at Cass's corpse. His hands were trembling. He turned away and walked from the corpse.
"And so the beast is dead..." Jam murmured, taking in the scene, noting the tremble in the leader's hands. "And that particular threat to both our worlds is gone."
Natsumi remained stoic, disturbed by this man, while Arisa hurries to Takatora's side, removing her henshin to walk with him.
There was a flash, and then white feathers fell, all around Cass's corpse and the ground around him. Out of the flash stepped a man, clad in a suit.
"This one is gone...but his death shall not be in vain." The feathers flashed, and Cass's corpse was gone. The Odin Advent Deck was now in the man's hand, "Remember nothing of this. Forget it all, but bear the stains of what you have done on your soul forever more."
The man vanished, taking with him the deck. In the process of his departure, all memories of Cass Hoban would be wiped out from the world. The damage would remain, the fact that they had fought someone would remain, everything would remain.
Everything but Cass's name, face, identity, anything pertaining to him. That was lost.
"What's done is done," Yoko shrugged before stretching upward, "All men die, it's just a matter of time."
She looked down at the body of Cass Hoban and felt nothing. No sadness, no pity, no rage, no contempt. Just nothing. He stopped being a person to her the minute he breathed his last breath. Now he was nothing more than a hallow husk in need of a clean-up.

She blinked before taking a long look around here. She knew they all had just fought and killed someone, someone dangerous, but for the life of her.. she just couldn't remember who it was.

"Someone who can interfere with my mind? Intriguing.." She trailed off, being aware enough to know that the man in the suit had done..something. But afterwards, falling for the effect of whatever his spell was. She had come to help defeat a beast...but she could not remember what her retainer had told her about him.
Not that it really mattered.
One moment, Natsumi was disturbed by what had just happened. Now, she was confused. Having come to help her half-brother deal with a dangerous menace..but what was it?
Arisa doesn't even notice, the memories of Cass Hoban being wiped from her mind without her even knowing it, because she's focused on Takatora..
Anna blinked, looking around. "Why the Hell am I with you idiots?" She honestly couldn't remember what had just happened.
Frey on the other hand, knew that his mind had been touched by something... Something he had never experienced before. It wasn't Marise, who was definitely on the scene. He recognized that attack without trouble. No, something else was going on.
Marise looked at the human male. He was in no state to meet with her now. Then she stares at Frey, getting his attention with a look that she knew what he was up to, before heading back towards the Crack. Things were beginning to go into motion, and once the humans learned about her...well.
Perhaps the age old saga of the forbidden fruit would repeat again. Or perhaps she would do the one thing that would break that cycle forever.
Yoko watched Marise go out of the corner of her eye, but made no sounds or movements. It would only be a matter of time before they met again.
Yoko stretched once before, "We should send in clean-up and silence any witnesses. Having an all out brawl in the middle of the street can't be good for our operations."

"Make it so, Minato." Natsumi replied, stepping up to the plate since her half-brother was in no condition to lead at present. She began making her part of the arrangements.
Frey saw her look as he detransformed. He gave her a glare for a split second but said nothing. She knew what she was doing. Great. But now wasn't the time to talk to her, so he dug out his cellphone, calling his second. "Secure he perimeter; I want eyes on everyone entering and exiting the city. Cover anyone the basement crack too. Just trust me, I have a hunch."
Anna however, didn't give a fuck. She instead turned, walked off, and went for a drink.
