"You're not the only ones with special abilities. In fact, given how unbelievably foolishly your brother 'distributes' them to people against their will, it's a miracle that the entire town or even the world doesn't know about you already", Caine said sternly. "Lead me to your brother. We need to talk, and I need to learn everything you can teach me about your father's current state."

"Okay. Just stay on guard... He can be a bit-"
*clickclickclickclick!* You see a dozen miniature army men standing on the stairway armed with M-16s pointed at your face.
"Jumpy, wait bro! Take it easy. This guy says he can help us."
"Okuyasu you idiot!" A voice yells from the top of the stairs as two tiny helicoptors arrive to back them up. "Whoever this man is. He's come to take away the Bow, and Arrow."

"To be fair, an hyperactive five years old with behavioural issues would likely use that bow and arrow more wisely than you", Caine retorted dryly, as he silently reinforced his body's resilience to superhuman levels in case the man used his powers against him. "I won't lie... I want that bow out of your hands, be it in mine instead or destroyed, before you give even more people superhuman powers for no good damn reason. But use your brain for a second. You want something too, correct?" he pointed out.
"...You've been using that bow over and over despite the risks in order to find someone who's able to kill that father of yours. In other words... you must want that to happen pretty badly, do you not? ...What I am offering is a simple exchange. I give you what you want. You give me what I want. Simple. Effective. Both of our problems solved, at once", he explained. "If I do succeed where you failed, you will have no more use for that bow and arrow. So I ask for it in payment for my services. I have to say, however... I do not take kindly to being threatened when I come offering my aid. Back your little army off, or I promise you, losing the bow and arrow without getting help for your problem will be the least of your troubles." 1 into PL for an action;
1 in Fortitude (Resilience) to activate it.
12 (Ef) in Presence (Terrify), all against Keicho, for the specific purpose of getting him to back the f... up with his unwarranted aggression.
8 in Statecraft (Persuade, Serious, Authority, Business) to make him my offer.

He slowly calls off his stand as you meet him upstairs, and the small green almost reptilian creature clawing at a box trying to piece together an old worn out photo.

"Before anything... how about you give me the full version of the facts? ...What happened to him? Why do you want to kill him, as opposed to maybe try to turn him back to normal? And finally... why have you failed to kill him so far? Is he invulnerable? Does he heal too fast? Or can you actually kill him but he keeps coming back?" he asked with curiosity as he observed the creature.

"He became a servant to a man named Dio. At some point years ago something happened and whatever Dio did to him caused him to transform into this pathetic thing." Keicho said. "As far as we know there is no way to turn him back. He can regenerate from just about anything we do to him."

"...I can try", Caine said thoughtfully. "Transformations such as this are usually limited by the power of the one responsible for it. And I am fairly confident in my abilities compared to this Dio", he said with a smirk. "If I fail to turn him back to normal, I can always proceed with killing him then. What do you think?" he asked, as it was their father they were talking about.

"I don't care either way. The man is no father of mine." Keicho said dismissively like there was bad blood.
"Bro, don't say things like that." Okuyasu declared. "Sure if you can help us, we'll do anything."

"Hmh. Well, no one's forcing you to get along with him if I do succeed", Caine said, shrugging, as he tried his first attempt at turning the creature back to its original self. 22 (Ef) in Vampiric Supremacy (Enough of This); all VS AN of the power Dio used to turn the man into that creature in order to immediately dispel it and its effects.

Nothing happened. The creature remains it's mutated self.

"Interesting..." Caine noted, as he moved on to attempting another trick... namely, blood magic. He proceeded to chant a spell, sacrificing some of his own lifeforce in an attempt to undo whatever curse Dio had used to transform the man, and change him back to normal if it was at all possible. 18 (Ef) in Thaumaturgy (Sorcery, Blood Magic), sacrificing 3w to add +9 for a total of 27 stones to undo whatever Dio did to turn the man into this creature.

You concentrate and slowly force the parasite back into it's original form, and out of his body making him slowly revert to normal humanity.

Keicho sighed. "Well... You fullfilled your end of the bargain. So I will follow mine." He said moving to hand you the bow as you see a yellow bird-beaked-but-also-reptilian monster emerge from the light socket and about to charge at Keicho from behind.

(OOC: from 'the light socket'? What is that?)
Caine
"Look out!" Caine warned, stepping aside and raising a force field to protect him. "What is that creature?" he asked the brothers, before firing a darkness blast at it. "H: 6/6 P.L: 3/6
10 (Ef) into Kineticism (Force Field), doubled, 12 to protect Kencho, 8 to defend myself if need be. (Total ph.defense: 19)
13 into Obtenebration (Mastery of Shadows, Shadow Blast) +5 from Targeting, into a 16 stones (2x damage, AP) to attack the monster, 2 into control to not destroy more than I have to.
