The flames crackled and roared as the building around him burned, an almost deafening sound that was completely drowned out by the sound of Kikori's laughter. "Kiiiikikikikikikikiki!" He roared, the burnished red of his metallic face glinting in the harsh light as he dashed through the corridors, bullets soaring past him and clanking into the warding arm he held up. The marines had managed to catch up to him during one of his attacks, having been held up by a pesky, far too stubborn guard that quickly ended up regretting his efforts over such a small pay check. Despite his unfortunate fate, however, Kikori had to admire the sheer amount of trouble the cyborg was in now that the local guard had arrived. His saws whirred and slashed as the cyborg landed in the middle of the small group of marines, blood filling the air as they made their way through flesh and bone with ease. A small sound to his left was all Kikori needed to grab the upper half of one of his victims and hold it between him and the volley of bullets that was fire at him, protecting his torso even as his head and arms jerked with the force of the impacts.
He couldn't stay here. There would be reinforcements on the way, and that wouldn't be a fight it'd be a stomping. So, with that in mind, the cyborg leapt into action and raced along the wooden floor. His talons dug into the hardened wood as he ran towards the new group of marines that had arrived. At the last second before coming into range of their blades, his saws rev and he leaps to the side. Metal met wood as, instead of landing upon the wall, his saws cut upon a hole in the side of the building and his shoulder impacts against it was enough force to pop both him and the burning wood out into the cool night air. Sailing through the air for a moment, he notes the incoming reinforcements before they disappear out of sight and are instead replaced by the rapidly approaching ground. Landing with a thud, Kikori rolls across the hot dirt before coming to a stop. For a moment all he could do was let out a small groan of pain, before the sound of yelling reminded him of what he had just seen and the cyborg leaps to his feet.
Shaking his head, Kikori quickly turns in the opposite direction and begins to sprint. Buildings weren't of any concern, as his talons dig into the side of the hard, varnished wood of the houses and he quickly scales them. The shouting intensifies behind him and if he had any doubts as to whether he had been seen, the bullets whizzing past his head put those to rest. Even now, as he leapt from building to building, he had the temptation to turn around. To listen to them scream in pain, to feel the blood once more. But he made do with what he had accomplished. An entire household, dead, with all their precious little belongings burning around them and their guards slain. He could do more later. Right now, it was time to get going and to lay low for a small while. The forest wasn't far away, he knew, as that had been the main reason behind his attack tonight. Once there, it really wouldn't take much to lose his pursuers, and then he could spend some time licking his wounds and figuring a way out of Loguetown, which was growing... increasingly more aware of him as of late.

Kikori has attacked and killed a family of rich merchants, with their house burning down behind them. He is currently on the run from a group of marines, jumping across the rooftops and heading in the direction of the forest.
