John saw the cargo ship slowly rise out of the water, then quickly turned his head over to Guren.
"What does Elios have to do with any of this!?", John asked Guren, a little shocked by the cargo boat and by the man's sudden hostility.

The cargo ship was now completely in the air and was moving towards Guren. "I made a bad decision... And struck a deal with that devil. Now I'm stuck in this Virtualis Mundi shit, having to fight people who managed to reach him. 672 challengers came here..."
Guren knocked a large metal crate over. From it, bones of different people scattered across like Lego. "None survived."

In the past, John would have absolutely no qualms with killing someone if they ever showed even the faintest amount of physical hostility towards him, but he was different now. He showed more restraint. John was hoping to diffuse this situation before this battle started. If not, then John would be forced to kill Guren. John had a feeling that it wouldn't work, but it was at least worth a try.
"Then why don't we fight Elios together? I already have a large team with me, and all we need to do is meet back up with Elios's daughter. We have enough magical and physical firepower to kill him.", John said to Guren, trying to convince him to stand down.

"I wish I could if it isn't for that devilish contract he made me sign." Guren lamented. "All the other people in Virtualis Mundi, they signed themselves in. They have no redemption."
"But I... I have a solution."
"You beat me here, but don't kill me. There's a loophole in the contract that the challenger just has to win, not kill. Then you beat that old shitter Elios down until he rips that contract. I'll help from my own side. When you do, I'll be able to appear nearby."

John was surprised that him trying to convince Guren worked. Of course, he still had to fight him in an intense, difficult battle, but at least he didn't have to kill him.
"Ok. That sounds like a deal.", John said as he quickly cycled through each weapon, setting each one for Danmaku use.
Thanks to the miniature onibashira Kanako gave him during one of his first visits to Gensokyo, he was able to fire Danaku bullets out of his weapons instead of lethal physical bullets. Of course, the Danamku was still lethal, but it all depended on the user's intent. John didn't want to kill Guren, so the Danmaku would adjust itself according to John's intent, just like normal Danmaku.
"These are going to fire non-lethal rounds. They'll still hurt as if you've been shot, but they won't kill.", John explained as he finished setting each and every gun for Danmaku use.
Once John was finished, he readied his .950 JDJ and waited for the inevitable battle.
"You make the first move.", John calmly said to Guren, ready for the fight.

"So it's like a sparring." Guren shrugged. "How pleasant."
"Still gonna bust a ship on yo ass though."
The cargo ship, probably at least 200 metric tonnes, slammed towards John with speed of a car on a freeway. Guren's power was incredible, as if he had same power as Youkais like Yuuka or Onis like Yuugi.

John knew the ship was going to come down. After all, it was still a battle, just one where John wasn't aiming to kill his opponent. Right before the cargo ship came crashing down, John slammed his fist into the ground and activated Armorlock. Right as the ship came inches away from John's head, his energy shield became thickened and became white as his HUD's shield gauge turned white. The ship came crashing down on top of John, cracking and shaking the ground. Luckily for John, the ship's hull was not strong enough to sustain him smashing into it. John was now inside the ship, ready to make his move. His shields were down, but after a couple seconds, they would recharge.
John quickly ran over to one of the ship's nearby windows as his shields began to charge back up, and as soon as he got there, John aimed his Barrett .950 JDJ Sniper Rifle at Guren and fired, sending a .950 caliber Danmaku bullet barreling towards the very center of Guren's chest.

"Well then.. let´s have our match" Renamon spoke with her katana ready for battle "I hope we both enjoy this battle"

"Let´s say I enjoy having a good battle from time to time" Nera said moving to one side while looking at the man "Shall we?" she smiled with battle lust

Rook Island Replica
__________________________________________
Jason was taken aback by the sudden transportation. But he looked up and realized that was the least of his problems.
"... Rook Island. Or at least it looks like it."
He found a green plant, harvested it and turned it into a syringe.
"Guys? Where are you!?"
He continued to harvest any plant he could. He might need it.

Auditor's Fortress
As the smoke cleared, the room seemed unchanged, aside from the lack of shadows, and a speaker turning on.
"Really now, trying to destroy my propeerty? You know, I thought I would expect more from you. I've limited those little bombs of yours after they came in. Now, if you would, try fighting with something more direct, would you? Seriously, it's boring otherwise." The Auditor spoke through the speakers, and Diablo gave a skeletal smile.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.
