Job Sheet:

She was dressed in her usual attire, the Hokage slung over her, wavering in each step as it ran just past the calves of her legs. Navy blue pants were settled around her legs, cut off into shorts to reveal her bare skin. To set it all off, the regular black tank was paired with the outfit, ebony combat boots smacking against the cobblestone ground. Today was job day, or the day where she found a job that sparked an interest in her.

Melody was settled on her shoulder, looking at Viola with a slight frown on her face. After all, she had this sparkle of excitement in her eyes, a smirk curled up onto her lips as she marched along, nearing the clients house with each step. "Ya know, it's been awhile since we've been on a job, hasn't it?" she remarked to her friend who looked away with an anime puff sigh escaped her maw. The sun was hot, not that, that wasn't a surprise. It had always been hot outside, especially on the outskirts of where most ninjas lived. "Nah, remember, we went on one with Katherine." the closed-eyed fox reminded.

"No, I mean just the two of us." her crimson locks twirled off to the side as she beamed over at Melody with closed eyes. Little did she know, she'd be meeting a new person today, one that would accompany her on this so called job-- the sunny tower of no return. Before she knew it, she erected before the door to the clients home. It was a regular place, not to fancy, yet not to worn down. It seemed suitable for a family of three, and the scent of food lingered from inside.

Viola knocked, and then she knocked once again. Yet, there was no reply. She could vividly hear the sound of something boiling inside, a fan also blowing out across the house. Her hand extended out to clasp onto the handle of the door, pushing it to see it was open. "Hello? Is anybody here? Hello?" there was no tension in the air, and the scent of her clients was faint in the house, only lingering from the walls and floor. Maybe, they went out? she wondered, stepping inside.

Her footfalls echoed across the wooden floors, eventually coming into a living room. It was definitely a homey place, but, it was scattered everywhere with clothing and papers. Viola's dark red hues glanced back and forth, eventually landing on a lengthy coffee table. One piece of paper stood out to her the most, seemingly a letter as she approached it casually, picking it up lightly to read it.

Dear Mommy and Daddy,
Please don't look for me, my new home is so much better. The people here tell me so much
about the sun, saying the sun is everything and that I should be punished for not looking up
to it in the first place. It hurts, but, the sun is everything, and if I have to be put through so
much pain, I will bear with it.

The letter fell from her hands, eyes extended as numerous flash backs shot back at her. The lab, and the fact the people used the sun to extract magical energy out of children and into children. She had even recalled how they wrote fake letters from the children out to their parents so that nobody would come and search for them. It was just as if they all disappeared.

An sudden voice just from aside her caused her to jump, turning around with beads of sweat formed onto her forehead as she waved her arms around comically. "I-I-I wasn't doing anything!" she shouted, eyes closed before she hesitantly opened them up and dropped her hands. "Huh?" blinking blankly for a few moments she gawked at the young man. "...Who are you?" her eyes squinted as she slid toward the young man comically, lips pulled back into a straight line as she eyed him cautiously.

Viola would lean back with a nervous smile as the young man practically got into her face, Melody growling just on her shoulder. "Eh!?" his comment made her startled, thinking that she had gotten away with peeking through one of the letters on the table. Watching with a blank expression as he made himself at home and discharged into a nearby chair she folded her arms in front of her chest, a frown creasing onto her face. "Hmph, whatever..." she grumbled silently, leaning back against the lengthy coffee table.

If the clients don't show up, then I'll just head out myself. I'm not waiting around after looking at that letter... she thought to herself with closed eyes, a frown still strained onto her face before this Shohei stood up and tried to see the letter behind her. Since it was impossible to read, he stepped back, sharply peering at her to show him. An anime puff sigh escaped her mouth, reaching back to pick up the letter and hand it to him gingerly. "I don't know if it's some sort of joke, but, it says its from their daughter who went missing..." she remarked, watching as he read it. "And! I'm not waiting around for these clients! I already know the location of where their daughter went missing." Viola narrowed her eyes, lowering her head and looking away, "When, I imagine their daughter trapped in that tower, with people doing god knows what to her... I can't sit around and wait, ya know!" she shouted, a bit to heatedly like usual.

Her shoulders strained, eyes extending for a moment or two before she began to head toward the door. "You coming Sho-kun? Or am I leaving with-out you?" a smirk would curl onto her lips as she slightly opened the door and peered back at him, already shortening his name and adding a honorific to the end of it. She was considering leaving with-out him already, but, then once she seconded that thought she knew it would've been a good idea to bring somebody along. Plus, there wasn't any harm in meeting anybody either.

Shorty? she reflected, peering back at him as he placed a hand on her shoulder. But, I do know where she is! I can smell her! she thought aloud to herself, some-what frowning before he folded his arms in front of his chest. "What!?" jerking in response she leaned toward him with a deep frown, a bit of enragement flickering in her dark red hues like a violent fire. "Listen here Sho-kun... I do know where the girl is! For one, the location of where she went missing was at the Mystic Tower, which is exactly where we should be heading right now! And two, I can smell her from a mile away!" she exclaimed rather heatedly, the last sentence sounding a bit odd.

After awhile though, she was able to sort out the scents in the house from the mother, to the father and then the daughter. Her scent--- it was lingering faintly from the house, but, she was certain with herself that she could find the young girl. "Gomen, my name is Viola. Viola Purefoy." she would grumble, looking away with a slight pout. "...And, don't call me shorty!" the crimson-haired girl huffed, turning on her heel to walk past Shohei. It was indeed hot out, but, the light wind that brushed the land below every once and awhile was quite comforting. Her hand reared up to push back her crimson locks, a soft sigh escaping her mouth as she breathed in and out. Yep, Mystic Tower is definitely far away from here. We're gonna need a ride... opening her hues, she turned back toward Sho. Walking on foot was an option and it'd take them a bit longer, but, finding a ride would take awhile too.

Take a ride on one of his titans? What the hell is a titan? she wondered, frowning to herself at the thought of it, her eyes met with his as he also stepped outside, the door creaking behind them before it closed shut. The air felt much more fresh here, the village resembling her old one as a child. But, she knew this wasn't her village. After discovering everything from none other than Zenshin, she figured out everything. From the fact that she was sent through time, to the fact that her parents had risked their lives to save her. A hand thumped onto her head, causing her to flinch from her thoughts as she peered up at Sho.

He had messed up her locks, but then began to smooth them out, somewhat petting her like an animal as she just looked up at him surprised. Though, her surprise from his kind gesture was replaced with annoyance as he remarked her as a shorty once again. Viola shrugged him away, eyes closed as she folded her arms in front of her chest. "U-Um, what is a titan anyway? They sound... like they'd get us there quickly!" she had no idea what she was talking about. Although, she was intrigued, by whatever these things were, meagrely peeking open her eyes to glance at Sho. "Well, come'on! Can I meet one!?" her voice came out excited, arms unfolding themselves from her chest as she extended them outward.

She wanted to save the girl as quickly as she could. Viola often remembered exploring as a child, and getting lost from her parents, but somehow she always managed to get rescued. This girl did sound like the type to get lost, then abducted over mer curiosity.

Her back arched, kneeling away from Sho as he leaned toward her, his index finger sliding past his thumb to flick her on the nose. She jerked, bringing both hands to her nose in a slight bit of pain as tears formed by the corner of her eyes, face creased into another frown. "What was that for!" she clamoured, an anime anger symbol popping up aside her head.

Blinking for a few moments, at his warning, she went over his last few words giant naked cannibals with a baffled expression, hands lowering back to her sides. The abrupt explosion of steam drew her back a few steps, arms reared up and shielding her face before the steam eventually vanished revealing what appeared to be, a giant naked man. Hands back by her sides, with her jaw lowered completely, she gawked at the giant naked man with a stunned look on her face, before glancing back at Sho and pointing her index finger at him. "W-We're riding a giant naked man!?" she would holler, flinching as the grand naked man bowed to her politely, "A-Ah... Um... Nice to meet you Reiner, I'm Viola." her voice came out awkward as she introduced herself in return, clearly befuddled by what just happened.

Watching the two bicker with one another, Viola stood still, still shocked with white eyes and beads of sweat developing onto the sides of her face. "...Are we gonna, go?" Melody questioned, as usual irked by everything that was happening around her. Viola swore the only thing that could change her friend's attitude was food, and Erol, Kyll's massive owl. The crimson-haired girl brought a hand to her fore-head, face palming at the bickering two before snapping her hand forward to point at them both. "Hey! We don't have time to bicker! There's a little girl in need of help, ya know!" she hollered, clearly enraged by the two.

Her arm dropped back by her side, deep yet, alluring red hues watching as he cleared his throat and spoke. Though he explained something about his titan, she still couldn't grasp onto what they truly were. Eh... It's still a giant naked man to me... she mentally thought, anime sweat-dropping to meagrely lower her head. Sho's voice snapped her upward, eyes widening in a bit of restlessness as she jogged toward Reiner and rocketed onto his palm. She let him lift her high up before discharging her onto his head. Long lengthy pieces of hair wrapped around her like a field of long grass, a light smile arriving onto her lips before a fistful of this silver like hair was balled into her small hands.

Peering over, she listened as Sho told her to lead the way, ending his order with a insult as an anime anger symbol popped up aside her fore-head. Her eyes went white, teeth showing as she gritted them together in discontent. "Yeah yeah! You're just jealous!" she called back, closing her eyes and pressing her lips together. Standing up, the fresh breeze of this warm sunny day brushed past her, rattling her clothes and hair back and forth, her hand hoisting up to shade her eyes from the bright light.



It was much easier to scent the girl from here, let alone know precisely which way to go instead of walking in numerous directions before lastly arriving at the place. "That way!" she said, index finger pointing over to the right. Reiner abruptly began to run, startling Viola as she tumbled back with a yelp before frantically grasping onto any piece of hair that was near to her. Laughter escaped her lips, leaning up with closed eyes as she would grin brightly, rubbing the back of her head. "Careful Viola!" Melody grunted from aside her, practically flying back and forth in one of the flocks of Reiner's hair. She would sweat drop at this, tugging Melody off before placing her onto her shoulder.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at their destination. The landscape that coiled around the tower was like one lengthy field, the breeze rustling the grass down below as though they were doing a dance. Tension filled the atmosphere, Viola narrowing her eyes as Reiner eventually came to a stop. "Thank you, Reiner!" she called, foolishly jumping from his head to land face first into the ground, comically creating a dent in the earth. A small squeak sound was made as Melody face-palmed next to her, watching as she leaned back, unscathed. It seemed not even a 19-meter fall could harm her. Jumping back to her feet, her fist hoisted up to do a small determined pump. "Okay! Let's go kick some ass!" she shouted heatedly, her feet moving with-out a delay as Melody just watched her burst toward the entrance of the tower like a complete fool.

Viola swung open the two front doors with-out hesitation, face creased into a frown before she vaulted back, barely missing the lighted fist of some random figure. They had masks all covering their faces, just simple ones. The colour was stark white, while red and yellow in the pattern of a sun tainted their masked faces. "You wanna go!? Huh!?" she hollered, hands balled into fists by her sides. This place had to of least had fifty floors, something Viola was most definitely not looking forward too. But, the image of the little girl crept into her mind, urging the un-motivation to climb dozens of stairs away and hopefully gone for the mean time.

There were only two of them, but, she could distinctly tell they were on a same level of physical strength as she was. She hadn't even sensed their presence when her hand first made contact with the door handle, but, that was besides the fact. They were here now, and she was just urging to brawl with them both, a genuine frown crinkled onto her face. "I won't let you guys get away with this, whatever you're doing with the kids here is sick! And I won't allow you to continue on!" clamouring at them with enragement, the two exchanged looks with each-other, one holding out his hand into a simple gesture, "I won't allow these kids to be forgotten!" interrupting the man, before he could even vocal a single word, her hands clapped together, eyes closing shut, "Dragon Soul... Torment!" in a flash of bright light, the young girl who had appeared to look human, no longer did. Silverly white scales outlined her cheekbones along with her arms, pupils now drawn into the slit of reptile eyes, flaming fiercely. Her teeth had even grown more acute, but, nobody's attention could be focused on that. The fact that her very hands had been lighted in such violent flames, is what could caught the attention of the two men that stood before her.

Pushing off from the ground, Viola rocketed forward with one tightened hand hoisted in the air. The two men quickly dodged it, her fist denting the earth as it came in contact with the ground. Swiftly though, she leapt away, the two men obviously baffled by this before the piece of ground she had hit began to glow red, and then abruptly, exploded. She smirked, watching as they flew back--- no, wait, only one. Viola blinked in confusion, confused before somebody sharply kneed her in the back. It was a hot attack, burning the flesh on her back as she flew forward and tumbled across the ground before coming to a stop by her side. Coughing, Viola shakily began to push her herself back up, only to have the foot of the one man she had successfully hit, knead his foot into the back of her head.

"It's quite rude to interrupt somebody while their talking." he spat, obviously irked as Viola frowned. The flames on her hands died out, leaving nothing but scales and dragon like features behind as she growled at them in anger. "Like I give a shit!" she shouted back, earning more pressure on her head as she let out a more distressed and painful groan. Abruptly though, as if on cue, a bolt of lightning and bright light flashed down just a few feet by where Reiner and Shohei were. The area was enveloped in steam, blinding the three before it cleared to reveal... another giant naked man. Though, the two never noticed the giant beings till now, both drawing back in dismay to only dash back into the building. "We'll deal with you later!" one of them hollered, a hoard of only more people rushing out.

She couldn't count them all as she erected to her feet, this time, they didn't have masks on, revealing their faces. All of them were at least her age, presence much more weaker than the two she had attempted to brawl against. Letting out a panting sigh, the crimson-haired girl peered back at Sho, wondering if all he did was just sit there and watch his naked friends do the work. The crimson-haired girl frowned, back still throbbing for some odd reason before she turned back around and leapt forward. Her feet flawlessly pushed from head to face, using each person to propel her toward the door while knocking them to the ground. At least ten were seriously injured on the face before she contacted the ground with her feet, now erecting on the other side of all of them, and just before the doors. "Hope you can handle yourself, Sho-kun!" she called out with a meager grin before opening the doors and disappearing into the building.

Stats:

Climbing onto Reiner's head, he clung to his silvery-blonde hair. As Viola disappeared into darkness, he could only hear the sound of fists clashing. The sound ringed throughout the area. They even had their own little problem. A group of about ten people, pretty young, Stared up in awe at the titans. Beads of sweat going down their cheeks and foreheads. Trembling, one of them charged at Reiner. He had a dagger, and just barely impaled Reiner's foot with the cutlass. It took several moments from Reiner to realize there was a dagger impaling him, it was as if you found the tiniest thorn in the most unexpected place right after looking. Shohei his throat and pointed at Reiner foot, directing him towards the enemy. "What? Oh, gross!" He leaned down, and was able to grasp a hold of the boy with a pinch of his fingertips, able to hold him by the scruff of his shirt. "See, I was kinda hoping you guys would just surrender but I guess that's what you get when you pick a fight with a titan. Now all you other humans watch closely as I.." It was rare that Reiner opened his mouth, but he downed his jaw and revealed his horrifying teeth. Putting the human between his teeth, he paused before biting down. Blood splattered everywhere. Chewing on the boy, he was able to say some final words. "B..Bastards! May you be scorched by the sun's rays and rot in the fires of hell!" Taking out another blade, the tearful and desperate boy stabbed Reiner's cheek forcefully. Reiner paused, and bit down harder, cutting the boy's body in half, his torso fell to the ground as his lower body went into Reiner's stomach. "Salty.. It tastes sweet and salty at the same time, kinda like what humans call roasted almonds. Kinda crunchy too." Reiner said as he critiqued the meal. Shohei just watched with a straight face, as if nothing happened.

There were nine more of the group. Kleng just charged into battle without thinking strategically, since when did any titan think that way? Shohei shrugged and rubbed the nape of his neck nonchalantly. He sighed as he tugged onto Reiner's hair, "Should we help him? I mean, I've seen titans hungrier then him but we're talking groups and groups of people. Which shouldn't be a problem.." Reiner 'tsked', "Ha! What do you mean 'we'? It's not like you can do anything to them, you don't work out and don't even train us titans.. not that we ever needed such things. What I am trying to say is that in certain situations, you'll need more titan power then you have right now on the battlefield, we're not always going to be here to protect you. I suggest you get something to aid you in both your own power and protection. We may be giant, naked, cannibals but, hey - we care." Reiner explained, he didn't go into detail or depth about it but it was enough to get Shohei thinking. Keeping a straight face, he playfully punched Reiner's cheek. - Which ended up hurting a lot despite the fact his body heat didn't escape his armored plates. "Hey, Thanks." While in the meantime...

Kleng Shifted at his own choice, without notifying Shohei. Reiner could tell the size of the presence had changed. Reiner shifted is line of vision to the cracking sound of thunder at the sight of steam and laughter. Clearly from Kleng. Instead of waiting for the steam to let out, Kleng dashed out leaving a faint trail of steam, coming off his body. Kleng had a murderous expression with one eye narrowed, and the other eye wide open, each with rather small pupils. He had rather decent looking, white hair with a braided piece to the side. He looked pretty good looking.. when he wasn't like a hungry titan that is. Shohei squinted, and observed. There were several left, nothing a titan couldn't handle. One rather muscular looking man with a messy brown beard charged, he was clearly bigger and buffer then Kleng, but not stronger. When one turns into a human, they meet the same power as there original forms. In any case, he was still a titan, just in a smaller form. Not hesitating to hold back, not Kleng, not the man. He had a large sword pointed at Kleng's stomach, seconds before the blade could impale him, Kleng's clenched fist clashed with the man's chest directly. A second of silence grew before the man's top half of his body blew off. Only steam from the heat of the impact came off his fist. A rather young woman charged with a petty dagger before Kleng could regain his posture. Moments before impact, Kleng swiftly turned around, shifting his legs and feet, and grabbed her neck. The dagger falling to the ground, Kleng squeezed, and squeezed her neck until she was choking. The girl clenched Kleng's wrists and tried to undo the grasp, but seconds afterward, Kleng crushed the girl's neck. Blood splattered everywhere. She was still able to move though, she was still alive, only with few seconds left to live. Dropping her to the ground, Kleng stomped on her neck again, a disturbing, gushing sound came with it as the woman died.

Kleng looked over at the rest of the group with a murderous grin. The rest of the group stumbled back, dropping their weapons. "W-..We can't beat that monster! I don't know about you guys, but I ain't 'stickin around to find out!" A chubby, large man led the way to safety, in this case, justing running away. Kleng licked the blood off his fingers as he frowned and had the most nonchalant and lazy look ever, "D'aw, man! Two human-fulls worth of eating ain't gonna fill a titans stomach! Man.. I was really looking forward to eating all of them!" Kleng pouted as he crouched over the two corpses and starting chomping into them, swallowing their body's contents. Blood covered his hands and mouth, let alone teeth. Kleng then looked up at Reiner, "You want some too, Reiner? Surely you must be hungry." He grinned. Reiner 'tsked' again, glaring but you couldn't tell. "What? No. I'm hungry but I like eating them whole.. not, in bits and pieces."

Huh? Viola blinked multiple times, but the images around her were fuzzy and unclear. The ground was hard, and damp, blanketed by shade. What? Where...? Lastly, she managed to push herself up, kneading the palm of her hand into her head and clearing her eyesight. Viola glanced back and forth, seriously considering that she had gone crazy, and that where she was was just a mer illusion.

Snapping forward, her hands smacked against two of the bars, coiling around firmly as her forehead pressed against the cage. "Melody!!!" she clamoured, clearly panicked by all of this. "Mellloooddddyyy!!!!" she repeated, growing teary in both eyes.

"Your friend was taken by those bad guys..." a small voice said just aside from her, Viola jumping to peer over and notice a little girl. She was dressed in raggedy clothes, seemingly still sane compared to the others who had lost the light in their eyes. Her face was red, clearly indicating that she had been either crying, or been abused. That's when it hit her. This was the girl. The girl they were looking for. Viola shuffled through underneath her Hokage jacket, which had not yet been taken; to pull out a worn out photo. This is her!

Viola placed the photo away once more, meeting the girls eyes. "Your parents sent me here. I came to save you." she informed, the little girl instantly lighting up. Tears welled up in her eyes and ran past her cheeks, splattering onto the floor.

"I thought they forgot... about me. The bad guys, send letters off to the parents, making them think that the children have just left because we hated them.. When really, we're just trapped!" Viola frowned lightly, bending down to get closer to the girl even though they were separated by bars.
