[From atop a wall, in a flurry of cape that makes the motion all the more melodramatic, a ninja descends to make a perfect three-point landing in front of some innocent child.]
I see you like magic, but how about I show you a real trick?
[With a flick of his hand, Edge fans out several shuriken between his fingers, showing them just long enough for the wand-wielding boy to see that yes, they are real, and sharp, and clearly dangerous. Then he draws his hand back, and with a snap of his cape points his other hand at his erstwhile partner.]
I'm going to throw these shuriken within an inch of their body and never so much as harm a hair on their head! How's that for impressive?
[Now when he'd presented his plan, Edge had described this as 'help me distract them, and I'll swap the wand they have for a fake one.' At no point had he ever mentioned hurling sharp objects anywhere near anyone. On the other hand, he is obviously a ninja, right? He might know what he's doing.]
[Trust him, or panic?]
Yip Yap
Damn you, monster! Leave this street --
[Edge sheathes both his swords in one smooth motion, then makes three sequential signs with his hands. Power rushes up around him with each one, as he stares down the writhing tangle of eyes and shadows that has haunted the streets and caused such torment to everyone on it.]
ALONE!
[He draws back one hand, then makes a slashing motion downwards, like he's calling down the wrath of a heavens. The ninjustu completes in a cacophony of sound and light as lightning erupts in a dozen forked-tongue bolts, sweeping across the alley and riddling the ayakashi with its might. The spirit hisses out in pain -- just as every single dog on the block begins howling in surprise and distress at the sudden noise slamming through their sensitive ears.]
[Well, the ayakashi is hurt. That's at least approaching a long-term solution, right?]
