Ark 25/Episode 60: The Tale of Tales



A Tale to Tell
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVDndUIEFa8 ) At the tavern in Bacon town, there was a special audience being held. The mayor of Bacon town now being Connor Ryoji, some people doubted he was fit for the role. Luckily, a mysterious man, wearing glasses and a satchel would’ve been able to fill them in on just why he was fit for the Job. That man’s name, was none other…than Josh Bullwinkle. However on this night, the tavern was piled up and the stage was set. The music began to play, and everyone would’ve been waiting for him to emerge. As the silence crept in…Josh would step up onto the stage and sit on the stool. The room dimly lit, as he cleared his throat. “Hello citizens of Bacon town. I am Josh Bullwinkle, the mayors aid, and executive mechatronics designer. It’s been a long road for me to get here. I am here however, but I can tell that there is literal doubt of our mayor’s….lineage. I guess you could say.” Josh cleared his throat and gestured with his finger. “Well I’m here to ease that doubt. I can see in on your faces, that you think I am shitting you, but believe you me, I surely am not. You see the tale I’m about to tell you is not a tail of “Demon Eyes’ Ryoji. Oh no…this is the living legacy of…The Worldbreaker.” The crowd looked at each other with furrowed brows, and some of them sucked their teeth at the notion. “Sit tight, as I prepare to thrill you for a few nights on a man’s journey to reclaim his loved one, and stopping a terrible evil force from plaguing our blue world. He is not man, nor diety. Only the breaker of worlds. You see it all started…”



Sometime ago.



In the furthest reaches of the vallies of skylands, there was a group of noonwraiths running away form something…. "The sun rocks the earth, grain falls from the stalk. Come away with me, wanderer, come away with the noonwraith." Noonwraith — These monsters appear in fields when the sun is at its highest. Swaying grains on a windless day announce their arrival. On particularly searing summer days, when the sun reaches its zenith, wraiths will at times appear. Resembling sun-scorched women dressed in long white robes. These are noonwraiths - the spirits of young women and girls who died violent deaths right before their weddings. Driven mad with pain and anger, they wander the field searching for their unfaithful lovers and backstabbing rivals, though they will kill anyone who does not get out of their way in time. They are often held in this world by some object of intense emotional significance. This is why, if one ever finds a wedding ring of a torn veil in the middle of their field, one should not pick it up, but instead back away as quickly as possible. They dance in circles in the light of day and draw farmers in to join them. Since they are ghosts, no one who joins them leaves the circle alive. Aobut six of them were headed out running away form what looked like a group of tan/dark skinned hunters all dressed in armors! The dark skinned huters ran along side the mountain walls low to the gorund keeping close. These were the Shikamaru. The Shikamaru contrary to their name, all have redish-brownish skin, and horns, weather male or female. Although most male horns are larger and more proimianat than females, they will all be visible none the less. Each bare pointed ears, with dark colored eyes, but have humanoid features as it's beileved the Negaforce shaped them off of the most greedy and negitive race in the universe: human beings. They typically have white hair, and tattoo's on their bodies, and with the ever present hunt and battle they bear very sharp and jaggedly foged armor, that is energy resistent. They are very dominant figures and do not do much to hide or exploit their features, they are not hard to see how high they carry themselves. What's most noteable about them is theypossesses extraordinary talent and instinct in/for hunting all things. They can track anything under any conditions, sense the weaknesses of their prey and exploit them and finally kill or capture their prey. One of them singaled with their hands for their companion to make the kill! A young one, wihite hair and brown leather armor would’ve leapt from the mountain with his spear overhead, and brought it down upon the noonwraith’s backside! The wraith dispersed and die don the spot as the other   4 turned to look at the young one.



he stood up swinging the staff around before holding it out. Unlike his companions he had not horns or white hair. He looked fairly normal. “Koi (come)” he spoke in Japanese as the wraiths swarmed him! Like something out of an anime, the boy swung his spear from left to right, one shotting two of the wraiths, before doding the third, and slicing it down the middle! The young male saw the last wraith running, and he’d rear his arm back, charging his spear a bright red before tossing it forward and nailing the thing in the back of it’s neck! The wriath died on spot, and the boy would flip hair out of his face. “Hmph” a rather large fellow of the same race would come and pat him on the back. “Well Jeffry looks like you’re trying to earn your place out of the omega spot huh? Bet you feel pretty good about killing something I could’ve done with my eyes closed.” “Leave me alone…” Jeffery looked away and began to run forward. “Let’s keep moving.” The rest of the shikamaru followed him on as they continued on until they ran into a black void and disappeared as quick as they came.

Nothing Was The Same
Connor would’ve found himself sitting in a tavern in a small town along the coast of the sky lands near a flowing river. The water wasn’t very pure, but with proper boiling, you could at least clear out some of the radiation and what not. Connor however being an onihoruda, that last thing he worried about was radiative water. He sat on a stool, leaning on the bar sipping from the bottle, just now finishing it. He’d put down 30 tanz and speak to the bartender. “Hook me up with another water for the road…” the bartender nodded and gave Connor   another bottle. Connor had been back for sometime now from Dragon Kang, but...he'd lost Yumi. yet again. A trend he had not become very fond of AT ALL. He didn't even know if she'd made it through the portal or not...for all he knew she could've been stuck in Dragon Kang, which was pluasible. He was certain that the portal took them to earth...but the world was so big, and Connor had not the nessicary power to mentally search the earth for her as he would've liked to...he was a wreck. Spending every waking moment of every day sourcing the skylands for his beloved wife...only thinking how much of a fool he was to rush her back, then this might not have happened.

Suddenly a man would walk in the door. He was dressed in a black kimono but the shirt was   open revealing his tattoo’d uperbody. He had long red hair, kept in a rather messy pony tail, a narrow jaw line, but dead serious eyes. They were brown, no special color, but they were lax in nature.



Connor would watch as the beast howed, sptting a green goo and as the goo fell it sunk into the ground. With raised brows Connor looked at the goo and sucked on his teeth. “Well. I wasn’t really….in a fighting mood. Connor looked back up at it. “Are you edible?” the beast roared again, and spit some goo at connor! Connor would’ve flipped to the side letting his cloak as a whole get acidizedand he’d land on the ground In a squat. Connor would shake his head, and crack his knuckles. “you done fucked up home boy…..”

Not A Pet Person
“BOOOM!” Connor’s body would’ve been sent flying backwards, across the dirt,rock, and sand, and as he slide on his back, he’d make his silver decimaters appear in each hand! The silver decimators are a weapon Connor had bestowed upon him while in the Dark Realm. In the same mannor as Keyth Tasanagi, when he defearted and conqured his oni counterpart, Conor gained a weapon straight from his Oni's asrsonal. These Pistols materialize in the same mannor keyth's sword does. They have about the same desnity as a tungsten steel pistol would, but more lightweight. They are subseptible to eartly properites and weaponry, but will regenerate when broken upon their next usage (they cannot regenerate in a combat situation. if they're broken, they're broken in combat.) The ammunition aren't normal run of the mill bulets, but rather Connor shooting incredibly small push blast through the barrel of the chamber. Unlike his limited over sized push blast, these push blast are about the size of a revolver standard ammunition bullet, so miniscule, Connor can seemingly fire them off endlessly. They do the same damage a regular bullet would do, but this is only added to the type of gun he's using, known as a .45 Long Colt. However like everything there is a limit. Connor would begin firing the bullets form his guns one after another   “POP-POP-POP-POP-POP!” The air pressure bullets filled with destruction chi aiming to hit the giant cetepede in it’s soft spots! As it did, blood would’ve emerged from them as it squeezed and growled, wiggling around in place for   a second, before it’d come up from the ground and begin burrowing back down underground! Connor would flip himself backwards, now standing up right, and squatting down a bit. He’d stand up, extending his arms, and holding each gun outwards. “Tch…” Connor would focus his senses, and use his Eagle eyes to see if he could track this thing manually. rue gift of this is the ability to see vibrations in the air. During his study Ochigi concluded that Connor's skin during this lapse becomes hypersensitive. This allows his skin to rapidly pick up on changes in air pressure/vibrations in the air from a 360 degree radious, and snuff out which source of the vibrations are the strongest. This is used defensively as in case of a fast attack or a blindside, Connor's sense of  touch would conjoin with his sight, allowing him to make a mental image of his opponents posistioning, posture, and sense of speed via the rapidness of the vibrations. This works majority of the time, as even a simiple motion such as breating sends out feint vibrations through the air. Connor could literally see and feel it’s path through the ground, and once he’d had   a sense of it’s direction, he’d hand turned around and begun rapid firing his bullets into the ground below! As he did,you could hear the bullets pinging off of the beast extremely hard armoplate exoskeleton. “Come one, come on, come on.” Connor would keep shooting as much as he could shoot, walking backwards as he did, but just as he did, he sensed another vibration coming up from behind him! He turned around to see a spire,i.e the beast leg coming up from beneath the ground, coming right at him! Connor would’ve pulled a front flip and flipped forward, but the spires didn’t stop there! One after another came up and connor kept front flipping to avoid as many of them as he could! He’d finally leap 20 feet into the air, in a front flip before spreading his arms and legs open, and slowing his fall with a micro push. “Hmm…he’s not going to come up….that’s fine….heh hehe heh. Connor would land on the ground, only to use another micropush and propel himself 50 feet in the air! Once at the peak of his jump,he’d put away his guns,and aim his right index finger at the ground below, and as he did a red ball of chi would’ve formed at the end of it. “Let’s see how you like this!” Connor gripping his right wrist with his left hand would let the ball grow to the size of a golf ball before   a GIANT red hued push blast, the size of a tow truck blow from his finger! The blast traveled down, and destroyed the ground within a 50 foot radius! Rocks, and other debries flying up and around Connor as he shot right where the vibrations were going. Connor was surprised for   a second, but then narrowed his eyes. “just like I thought…this one can accelerate at a supernatural speed. Faster than my eyes…which is saying something. But I don’t…see it under ground anymore…” Connor would’ve looked around, but little did he know the centeped gem head would’ve leapt into the air higher than connor! It’s body coming down in a perfect acrch with it’s mouth open and as Connor saw the shadow he’d turn around and grit his teeth. “Aaaaah FUCK!” The ceteped would’ve elapsed it’s mouth around connor and then sunk back into the ground! Loud vibrations and crackles heard as it burrowed back underground, and didn’t come back up.

Kaguya’s red headed pupil would’ve been driving around in circles to see the area of the fight, feeling it out for everything it was worth. That’s when he snickered. “heh heh…haha!” he’d shake his head.”Well I’ll report to Kaguya looks like it.” Ther was suddenly a larger than life thumping noise bumping against the surface of the desert ground and making it hil up in dunes! “Hm?” the hills and dunes continued to form, poppoing up and the assistans driving beame worse as he struggled to keep his balance on the wheel! That’s when the reveal came and the dune Runner popped up from the ground landed on it’s back, struggling tomake and regain control of It’s body! Soon a lump appeared in the side of it’s body, and Connor’s stomach acid covered body woudlv’e emerged form it! Connor’s arms spread wide as he yelled out at the top of his lungs. “FUCKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING DIGUSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!” Connor woudlv’e flipped from the beast carcass, and landed on the ground on a squat! Turnignn around and spreading his fingers apart on his right hand, it would’ve begun to glow a bright and eclipsing red color! Coloring his body and in a red light before Connor began to approach the beast. “Let’s see how many more times I canmake you explode….HUH?!” Connor’s right arm drew back as he prepared to jam hishand inside of it, but his arm was quickly grabbed and Connor’s crimson gaze, turned to the red headed male as he was prepared to lunge at him as well until Connor calmed his battle lust and sighed. “Ah..it’s you again.” “Becareful guy.This is Kaguya’s pet. Like I said he’s very picky and protective of it. Don’t worry about the injury.” The giant creature started to heal it’s open womb, and start squirming in place, and digging itself into the ground and heading into it’s own burrow hole. “Huh…that’s pretty neat, not even going to lie. I thought he was a bit over sized to just be a simple Dune.”   The read headed male stuck his hand out. “My names Ven. I’m Kaguya’s current apprentice. Hadou Master level.” Connor would’ve shaken hishand. “Pleasure. So is my initiation test over now?” “Indeed it is. Come let us venture onward. We need you to go see him.” Connor nodded and looked at his clothing. “I’m assuming he has a spare pair of clothes or a least some fresh duds.” “He probably does, but we don’t have company like that so don’t expect anything extravagant.” Connor would’ve hopped back into the passengers seat, and ven would’ve begun driving off towards where they needed to go: The Oasis, the most well known jungle land in the skylands.

Introducing Lord Kaguya
After arriving there after a rather long and uncomfortable drive, Connor would step out of the car, and look at the beauty in the arranged forest and the dirt road they were driving on. “Damn…yumi always did get a kick out of nature. I don’t like this…this being alone thing again. It’s repetitive and I’m sick of it.” Connor spoke to himself, as he and Ven would traverse the long stoney path, and finally come to the base of a mountain. On said mountain was a giant pathway of stairs, that seemed to go on and on forever. Connor would’ve perked his eyebrows up looking elsewhere in the area, only to detect multiple negative emotional signatures. “There’s civilization here?” “Indeed. There’s a village here form way back. Rumor was, there was another one like   you, Keyth Tasanagi. He’d been here before and received exclusive teachings form Kaguya. Now you are just like him. A physical embodiment of your oni.” Connor would’ve nodded, but he’d look back at Ven. “You wouldn’t happen to know…of a way to bind a soul would you? “ Ven furrowed his brow. “Soul binding?...No. that’s…way out of my field. Kaguya might know.” Connor nodded, thinking about the promise he’d made to washi, to bring his essence back, so he could be with him again. Connor detested the ritual process of onihoruda ism, especially when it involved having to lose your best friend that you’ve grown with over the course of years, just to obtain power…Connor vowed to somehow find a way to bring his conscious back. He knew it was possible if Okami went form being consumed, to being inside of Kin…there must be a way. There’s always a way…there has to be. “So…why the staircase exactly?” Connor asked. “The stairs are, well…WERE another part of the trial. If you could climb these steps you were worth to visit kaguya. Many people don’t want to go through the effort, or pass out along the journey, and thus we rarely have to deal with any unwanted visitors. Kind of a test of diligence, and fortidtude. Are you ready to journey?” Connor would lick his lips, and look at the steps. Then look back to ven. Then look at the steps, before looking back to ven again. “Man, fuck that noise.” Connor would’ve shifted into the form of an eagle, and taken off up the flight of stairs, flapping his wings, and flying straight up the mountain. Ven would stuff his hands into his hakama pockets. “Well not everyone has the patience for it…” he’d begin walking up the steps himself. Minutes later, Connor would’ve arrived at the temple doors, soaring pas the mini garden outside,and landing infront of the door in human form. He would’ve begun knocking on the door, and waited for a while. Ven had made it up the steps himelf, and spoke. “go ahead and enter. Lord Kaguya rarely answers the door for anyone.” At that moment, the door would’ve opened and none other than Kaguya would’ve een standing there, looking down on Connor and staring in dead in the eyes. Connor returned the favor, and looked up at Kaguya with the same similar stare to his eyes as well.



<p class="MsoNormal">“You’re a Ryoji alright. It’s the stare. Your family’s the type to look death in the face and not even blink as long as it respects you.” Connor smirked. ‘I’ve been told. We don’t really like authority figures eheh.” “Come Connor, Ven. We’ve much do discuss, and less time than even I expected.” Connor followed behind and entered what looked like a grand hall. It was huge for a Japanese style house with large walls.

<p class="MsoNormal">“So Kaguya.” Connor opened. “What exactly doyou do for aliving?” “My line of work is a retired one, though I’ve done many things in my lifetime. Protection of my own and those who follow me, and the betterment of others, has always been my best quality.” “I see.” Connor nodded. “This place here is where I reign. I occasionally take in help, to hone skills to those who will one day better the world, not harm it. However in the coming of recent days, so many dark events have surfaced, it’s almost scary to think about.” Connor sighed. “I can never seem to escape the trouble and just live with my wife and hunt monsters.” Kaguya, would’ve laughed silently at that. “As long as your birthright lies in these Savage Lands, you’ll never seek peace, let alone have it. I’m very aware of your methods, and mannerisms Connor. You internally seek out conflict. You thrive off of it. It is simply your nature, and you would be a fool to deny or change that. As contradictory as it is, the world needs people like you.” Connor found that hard to believe, but he also believed that a lot of wise old men always know what the fuck they are talking about and it’s very wise to listen. They come to another garden based area, but this one had a waterfall and the porch of a dojo in them idle of it. Kaguya sat himelf on the porch, indeian style and noded for Connor and vent to do the very same. Kaguya would close his eyes as he spoke. “Tell me Connor. In your 2 years have you ever encountered the “Shikamaru.” Connor shook his head no. “never, but it would be something to add to the beastiary.” Ven inquired. “how do you have one of those if you aren’t associated with the Warlocks?” Connor would shrug. “They called me a monster, and tried to attack me. I fixed that, but it was a close call. They’re strong and they do their research…it wasn’t until after the battle where I discovered angy bloom on their person. They could’ve killed me had they pulled it out a second sooner. I’m ashamed to say I got lucky. Took the book as a way to think like them,   so I instinctively know how to kill different monsters if need be. Plus I’m good at destroying shit.” Kaguya stroked his long beard. “Interesting. You maybe be of more help than even I originally thought. You’re only half oni, are you not?” Connor nodded. “The proper term being Hanyo.” “Most Hanyos have empathetic capabilities.” Kaguya inquired. “What emotion doyou draw poer from.” “Anything negative.” Ven blinked a couple of times. “you draw from the entire spectrum? That’s…rare.” “Indeed, but it’s spot on what we need right now. Tell me what you feel when you see this.” Kaguya would pull a piece of broke glass from his sleeve. It seemed normal at first, until Connor’s eyes would’ve widened and his chi would’ve spiked! A red aura flaring from his body as the high amount of negative energy, was empowering him! “At ease Connor…” Kaguya spoke. Connor would take a deep breath and exhale, letting go of his battle lust and chilling out. Connor would speak. “Sorry about that.”   “Do not fret. In any case, allow me to tell you the favor I have ask of you. First I must tell you about the situation at hand.

The Shikamaru
<p class="MsoNormal">(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtwdE2tazz8&list=PLYNBny7IRlVlQVpe8xfJPnsRI2lEbpVyi&index=26 )Kaguya began to tell his story. “There is an acient and evil power…dark. It’s known as the Negaforce.” Connor furrowed his brow. ‘I think…I might know what that is. Washi’s essence is telling me he’s familer with it..isn’t that an energy source?” “Close but not dead on. In particle physics, antimatter is material composed of antiparticles; which have the same mass as particles of ordinary matter but have opposite charge and other particle properties such as lepton and baryon number, quantum spin, etc. Collisions between particles and antiparticles lead to the annihilation of both, giving rise to variable proportions of intense photons (gamma rays), neutrinos, and less massive particle–antiparticle pairs. The mass of any produced neutrinos is negligible, while they contain energy that generally continues to be unavailable after the release of particle–antiparticle annihilation. The total consequence of annihilation is a release of energy available for work, proportional to the total matter and antimatter mass, in accord with the mass–energy equivalence equation, E = mc2 It is this definintion that has eqauted to the creation of the Negaforce itself. Negaforce is the name given to a negative energy drawn from a dimension near our own. Some Omega gene users can tap into this energy naturally, Like other negative energies, Negaorce is easy to learn but hard to control. Negaforce can have a bewildering variety of effects, and its users can control differing aspects of it, so some time passed before it became apparent that all these phenomena had a single source…” Connor nodded. “I’m surprised I’m actually following all of this.” “The "Negaorce dimension" has no formal name, no known inhabitants, and no known points of reference. Its most obvious (and perhaps only) characteristic is darkness: not simply an empty place that has no light but a medium that absorbs light. This "dark matter" may only be what humans can perceive of an alien universe. Normal light sources are practically useless, and magical sources have limited range and power. The same absorption applies to heat and even life essence. Those who enter the Negaforce dimension without protection feel coldness and, in time, lethargy. Prolonged exposure to Negaforce in our dimension can have the same effects. In extreme cases, a good person may turn to evil under its influence. It is just as it describes: one giant black void for the people that reside and draw from there.For these reasons the dimension (or one of its inhabitants) is sometimes called "The Shikamaru" or "Black Dog" Connor shifted in place a bit, and so did Ven. “Now this is getting interesting…” Connor uttered.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">The Shikamaru are bread from the hounds of hell and the dog oni demons that roam the shinto realm. This inholy union was brought together, by a single hell hound by the name of bane. Bane was an omega in his pack of hell hounds, and always considered the weakest of the weak. while he'd had the genes to become the best, he didn't have the intinct or the drive to become more than what he was. He was very quickly and often shunned, and tossed around, serving his place in the pack faithfully. Eons passed by and Bane grew tired of the abuse, tired of the everlasting amount of disrespect, he sought out to make his own pack, but this quickly failed. Bane may not have been physical...but he was a clever hell hound. Knowledge in mind, Bane decied to lave the domain of hell and take refuge into the domain of the shinto. Where the Shinto gods reign porminant and free. It was here, that he discovered there were other demon dogs much like himself but much more powerful breed ones. He mated with the pets of the Tengu, a powerful race of hunting dogs used by the gods themselves, and it was there they gave birth to a new race entirely, to which he dubed the Shikamaru race. The odd rairty is that the childeren are bread with such strong and powerful dark hadous, that a dog like body couldn't contiain or harness them. As such, they would morhph and mold their children into humanoid form, but the odd evolution didn't stop there. Word got out about this illegeal bonding of beast to the shinto gods above, specifically Hachiman and others. Not wanting to have foreseable problems in the future, Hachiman banshied Bane's childern to the Negaforce, where they would've been forced to view the world through only darkness and one mirror, dubed the Hell Mirror to see the world and time pass by around them. In his spite and rage, he vowed revenge, and instiled this feeling into his kids to hate and devouer every living being, man, dog, angel or demon. His kids respected him enough and his eldest son Zion, for over hundreds of years has been running the Shikamaru's ever since his parent's passing. They are a small race of less than 50 but each member is more deadlier than the last.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor spoke. “So…am I hunting these guys down and eradicating them or…what, what am I doing in this scenario.” “No hunting. I don’t particularly have a problem with them or their ways. If it can be resolved peacefully then it should be done so…however this piece of mirror I hold in my hand is exactly what you’ll be looking for to draw them out. 3 of them to be honest. This is a piece of the hell mirror. A very mystical and powerful artifact that if used the wrong way, could mean the coming of end times.” “I hear that a lot lately Kaguya. You know how many people re trying to effect the world? A good bit of to many that’s who.” “Indeed, but this will not be an instant wipe. You see the shikamaru hunt and feed off of the negativity they absorb from beings. Humans, gods,   living beings alike. They’ll absorb the negative particles and maderins   to fuel the negaforce. For all of it’s power, it is finite and must be kept up, which is why they hunt so much in the first place. Their world is a reflection of everything that is bad in our own. While our worlds are not connected persay, it is based off of our blue little marble. If they complete the hell mirror, they’ll be able to transfer every bit of negitvie energy from this world to theirs slowly. In only months the world will start to decay. So much so, no one would even bat an eye, because of how long it’d take. Or they could wipe it in an instant. We can’t have this kind of power running around in hands like those.” Connor nodded. “Damn I agree….their looking for these mirror pieces to huh.” Kaguya nodded. “that’s where you come in. intercept them. the mirror lies in their dimension but it’s pieces resonate with it. You can track negative emotions, so I know you’ll be able to remember the familiarity of this shard. Here.” Kaguya would’ve given Connor the shard. “they’ll come to you if you have it, which I’m sure you don’t mind at all.” Connor smirked. ‘you know me to well already. Makes me a bit anxious Kaguya.” Kaguya would’ve stood up, cane in hand, and his eyes closed. “If you can gather these pieces, go their world and teleport yourself and the mirror here, where I can guard it for safe keeping out of enemy hands. There are few treasures that allow one to traverse realms, let alone multi verses. The fabric of space and time is a delicate string that should not be flicked, so much as touched.” Connor stood up as well, tucking the piece of the mirror into his coat. “I’ll do this…but why me? I know a guy who’s way better at tracking. Hell he’s a hell of a lot smarter than me for a giant dog.” “You’re referring to young Kin Tasanagi. He was my first choice. However his path…is a dark one. I forsee troubles in his future so thick, I would not task him further. You however who live and breathe conflict would jump at the chance to do something like this would you not?” “You’re damn right I would.” “Good.” Connor, Kaguya, and Ven would’ve made their way back out and down the giant stone steps, until they were back at the oasis floor. “If you use your acute senses, you should be able to sense the first shard near you now.” Connor closed his eyes, and inhaled, expanding his negative emtion sensing to lock onto the mirror’s signature. Connor opened his eyes. “Got it.” Connor looked towards the east. “I can sense it. Don’t know the area, but I guess I’ll find out.” Connor would’ve nodded to Ven and Kagua, hiking the bookbag up on his back. “Thanks for the supplies. I’ll get this done as soon as possible….” Connor looked away for a second. “Hey uh…you think this mirror thing. Could…maybe possibly get me where I wanna go?” Kaguya nodded. “It could. I wouldn’t abuse it’s power. It’s a one way trip. Once you go you may not return the same way.” Connor sighed. “of course…” connor would’ve turend, and began walking away. Ven furrowed his brow. “you’re gonna walk?” Connor turned and looked at him. “Even if they have what their looking for it’ll take a while this worlds’ got plenty of time. It’ll be fine I’ll fly when I need to.’ Connor continued walking.

He Reminisces Over You
<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">(http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=peX8dHbql2M#The_Last_Emperor_-_Do_You_Remember_ ) “Lord Kaguya.” Ven spoke. Kaguya cut him off. “I know Ven. His heart is in turmoil…he has more than likely lost a loved one somewhere in a far off place. This was meant to be a challenging task for him, but it’s become personal now. That might be the driving force he needs…” A few days since the meet with Kaguya passed. Connor would’ve been walking through the desert portions of the skylands, at night time. The moon was bright and round…nothing compared to the beauty of Dragon Kang. Connor had a somber look on his face, as he walked with his brown leather jacket, white v-neck, and blue jeans, with timberland boots on through the desert. He was depressed and he’d be the first to admit it. Him and Yumi had been forcefully separated…again. She was in her home granted, but Connor could only imagine the hell she was putting her cousins through for doing this to them. At least she could do something…Connor still worried. Worried if she was okay. If she was feeling the pain in the pit of her stomach like he was. Connor cherishes his memories more than what most people care to believe he does. He has abandonment issues. Bad ones. He often thought his younger days, when he was dating Kodi. Things were great back then. They were growing and developing something special, but well…she was rarely ever there. She was around, and they’d been through so much but she always had her own adventures. Her own trials and tribulations. Connor understood that, but she was the type of woman who needed someone to keep up with her. Someone to be willing to be young wild and free, with the occasional psycho outbreak. Connor stopped at the edge of a cliff and had a somber look in his crimson eyes. He wasn’t about that life as much as he may seem so. He honestly wanted something…simple. Something he could have a life with but when it was time to settle down or relax, it’d be something he could do. Something to think about. That’s why he’s grown such an over depence on Yumi’s presence. Connor looked over the vast distance of the skylands. Seeing some lush areas, and towns, as his journey seemed to take him on an upwards trip. He saw this and he sighed. He didn’t want to look at the beauty of tha land alone…why should he have to? Yumi was….Mmm. Connor closed his eyes and smiled thinking about her.

<p class="MsoNormal">/////Flashback//////

<p class="MsoNormal">She’d grown quiet at her thoughts as she travels her hands down hard abs, making sure not to miss anything and knowing his legs would need a little more work than the rest of him. “This is going to feel uncomfortable, okay?” They were both very tough but still she wasn’t cruel as her fingers rest on his thighs and her flames turn a brighter shade of blue, swallowing his legs right up. She figured she shouldn’t leave him to his thoughts though so she would strike up a conversation to distract him. “Professional fighters aside, there’s only one fighter I actually like watching. They’re a bit brash and hard headed but when I see them it’s like…” she tries to choose the right words without coming off as weak, making sure she doesn’t make eye contact. “It’s like when I see those fists move they’re telling a story and I wanna listen to every strike. I can see a struggle in them with each kick that lands on their opponent. One thing Miss Fierce didn’t have was emotion or even that determination and need to survive and push forward. That love and appreciation for the fighting style. Just seemed like a robot…but my favorite fighter isn’t like that. Not a chance they’ll ever let themselves become that when they make it to the very top.” She knew Connor was a bit dense and she honestly didn’t wanna actually say who her favorite fighter was but there was a slight chance he’d just let all of that fly right over his head. “And I know for a fact he will be at the very top. Because that’s where I plan to be so there’s no way I’d just let you advance and leave me behind.” His legs would become numb to the pain now as she is almost finished though she thoroughly makes sure the job is done correctly.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well this favorite fighter of yours…” Connor playing along. “Sounds like the grand daddy pubah of all fighters. I admire your admiration. Kill me later but it’s cute yumi.” Connor would look at her, and his eyes shimmered just a bit in the street light. He’d reach down and take hold her hands in his and hold them. “I’m alllllllll better. See? Much better.” Connor would stand himself up dusting himself off and slipping his blazer back onto his body. “None the less…thanks. Now from now on don’t heal me anymore…alright?” Connor would pull her in for a hug, holding her by her waist and just holding her there. “You’re the best. Just you being here…makes me feel better. “ his hold on her got a little more cozy as he kept his face beside hers and looked away for a moment. “I’m alone a lot now a days since Kodi’s been gone..i don’t say it but sometimes. Ah. It’s kinda stupid but well. I work hard a lot…thought it doesn’t seem like it. Everyone depends on me for things, decisions, actions. Sometimes I just wanna come home and have someone to lean on myself….someone I can fall back on.” Connor shook his head actually getting comfortable holding her like this. “Big Bad Connor wants a cuddle buddy. Stupid huh.” Connor would push yumi off of him playfully. “Alright alright, enough of that sentimental stuff. Let’s go find a restaurant to grub at. Can’t plow on an empty stomach, and believe me it’s gonna happen.” Connor would push a button on his keys, and the Robug would hover off of the roof and come down to the road. The doors would open and Connor would nod to Yumi. Hopping into the driver seat and taking off into the night time sky, scouring the streets to try and find a nice place to eat.

<p class="MsoNormal">///////Flashback End///////

<p class="MsoNormal">On the walk again as the dawn was coming, he thought about their first meet. First fight. First…first close encounter. Their first passionate kiss….

<p class="MsoNormal">///////Flashback/////////

<p class="MsoNormal">“We are both being neglected by our other half and at first one might think this is why….why right now we are so close to one another but I don’t believe that. Just having you this close to me…I feel no spiteful way towards Kevin.” He has a hold on her wrist and she brings the hand up to brush her lips against bruised knuckles, a sort of soft gesture to show she was being genuine in her next words. “All I can seem to feel or think about is you. I think about how good you were to me when I was just a pawn with Dog bite…how you weren’t afraid to kick my ass but teach me something in the process…I’d think about how you welcomed me in to your home no second thought. At first I told myself it was just me being grateful but when you kissed me…that was when my dense self saw it was more than appreciation. If Kevin wasn’t in the picture…and Kodi no longer was enough to keep you happy I…” She bites her lip hard, finding it difficult to be the one to talk this much hell Kevin did the talking for the both of them this had been the longest she’d spoken ever and she doesn’t say anything else…words were useless and she just shuts up, stepping closer to close the gap between them as she slams her lips to his own, almost knocking him back as she holds him tightly, roughly by the shoulders…actions always spoke louder than words between the two.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor’s eyes widened a bit in surprise as she   just bumrushed him with a kiss out of nowhere. At first when this happened, he contemplated weather this was the direction he wanted to go in…weather or not he was sure this is what he wanted. But that was there FIRST kiss….Connor was feeling differently after talking every thing over. When she pulled away and looked to the side, Connor would lick his lips and   close his eyes for a second. A long pause drawn out. He’d inhale and smile. “Fuck it.” Connor would’ve taken her by the shoulders, and returned the favor of it all. Any feeling he head he pushed it to the side, wanting something of his own. He was being a selfish self centered batard probably for all the wrong reasons, but he knew   this. He also knew he was only human, somewhat, and was allowed to feel human things like attraction, lust…want…and need. Yumi was and has become one of those wants…those needs. A priority.

<p class="MsoNormal">/////////Flashback End////////

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor always felt guilty for leaving kodi like he did, and doing kevin dirty like that, but he couldn’t help that he craved something different. Something stable. He was tired of this constant separation that always seems to find his happiness and take it from him. Connor shook his head at the thought of it as it pissed him off no matter how many times he opted to make an optimistic thought about it. He could feel it. He was getting closer to the presence he’d been looking for but…the sun was rising. As he turned his head look at the sunrise, he couldn’t help but think to himself. Him and Yumi would make love for hours, and go to sleep at this time. Sleep for about 5-8 hours and resume doing little things. Watching beast fight for entertainment, fighting, sparring, training, and just being together. Connor sniffled, holding back an angry tear. “I’m going to bring you back…and we’re going to take some time to do the things we’ve always wanted. Just wait for me Yumi….Just wait for me.” He whispered to himself. The next area he was headed towards turned into a low cut grassy field with a stone pathway that lead to what looked like an Aztec temple of sorts.

The First Stone Turned
<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well now that’s a very to the point question isn’t it?” Connor folded his arms. ‘I’m a very to the point kind of guy as you’ll soon find out. If I let you live long enough to tell you that is.” She chuckled. “Very cute. Listen here child. I am of the Shikamaru race. My name is Nara. Councilor to the king of Shikamaru, and Second top hunter. It’s come to my attention that you yourself are looking for the pieces of that little…trinket you have in your shirt.” Connor would’ve raised his brows and looked down, pointing to his shirt. “Oh this? I’m just gathering them up for collector purposes you know? Nothing serious…no need to fight about it.” Connor would’ve flashed them a mischievous grin. “Unless you just want to that is.” Nara would’ve tilted her head up and given Connor a snoody stare and look. “Ugh…so primitive. Listen…we’re not hunting you. Nor do we really have the undying wish to KILL you child…so if you’d be as so kind as to please, hand over the mirror. This is bigger than yourself, and judging by your demander your not one to get wrapped up in such larger than life things.” Connor would’ve taken a few steps forward, cracking his knuckles. “Check this out. I know about you guys. I know you’re plans. And even though I don’t give two fucks, it’s going to interfere with me getting my girl back.” Connor’s red chi began to flair up something violently, like a fresh flame. “And it’s for that reason alone…you’re in my way. So I’ll say this once.” Connor would’ve made fist, and cracked his knuckles while doing so. “Get the hell outta here, before I turn your bones into salt.” Nara would’ve scoffed a bit. “Pitiful half breed. Kill him, and take the piece of mirror yourselves.” The other four hunters would’ve began to draw their weapons…

Show Your Skills Demon Eyes Ryoji!
<p class="MsoNormal">(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbcGX9zO1u8 xD )One would’ve drawn twin daggers. The other would’ve drawn a spear and shield. The other two wielded Chinese style broad swords. Connor’s eyes darted back and forth as he looked at them spread. He could sense their killer intent but it was wiered…it wasn’t as violent as most of them are. No not these guys…it’s almost like a clam. Like something they do so much it becomes more so second nature than an actualy negative feeling. “Looks like I’m gonna have to rely on what I got for this one…” Connor would’ve pushed his right foot off of the ground, propelling his body forward towards one of the broadsword users, before feinting, and actually darting for the twin bladesman! Connor would’ve been upside down in the air, and in one quick movement he’d bring the his leg onto to the top of the woman shikamaru’s skull! She took the hit, but quickly went to cut Connor’s achlies heel! Connor quickly flipped himself off and began to attack! Connor would’ve thrown a fiercesome jump kick towards her gut! She took this but began to try and left right swipe connor with her blade edges, actually cathing him on his chest, twice, before connor interceted by lifting her arms away from her and landing punches to the area where her heart and her liver were, punching with all his might, and hearing what heard like ribs cracking underneath the pressure of his blows.

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/Hitomi_VS_Tifa_by_JeaYna_zpsaebaf70e.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor would’ve gained some distance from her, before feeling a spear head peirce his shoulder! “Ghk!” Connor would’ve quickly turned his body, breaking the head off of the spear,and coming after the spearsman with a flurry of punches! The spear man was good, weaving between his blows, even headbutting Connor’s hand, and causing a recoil in his wrist! Connor winced for a second, before the now bo staff caught him right across his face, and made his head turn! As his head turned, he’d have seen one of the broadswaord users, about to bring his blade down and cleave Connor’s head in half! “Their teamwork though…” connor would’ve raised his forearm, coating it with fortification chi, to block the sword with his forearm! Connor would’ve then, threw his leg towards the spear users chest, to send him away for a bit to focus on the broadsword user! Connor blocking each   blow he threw with the sword only to intercept his next hit and throw a side kick at his head, causing his body to spin around violently in the air before falling down.

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/c0aabfbf21af41cd0212c1b156f0173e_zps4b5540ee.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor would’ve tilted his head to the side, before having a blank look on his face. The bo staff user tried to come down on him from behind with an overhead swing! Connor’s body liteally dispeared from view for a moment, and just as the bo staff user was going to take guard, Connor would’ve repeared with his signature hook punch to the side of the male hunters face! Connor’s hand digging into his jaw and dislocating it on impact, as his body hit the ground with a dent and a THUD.

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/tumblr_mkt6ocwvqd1r72ht7o1_500_zpsttelegj7.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor would’ve then caught a slash to the back by the dagger girl! Her body mounted on the back of connor’s like a perch as she dug her blades into Connor’s shoulders! “FUCKING BITCH!” Connor would’ve reached his hands back and gripped the hair of the bitch on his back and throwing her happy ass forward onto the ground! After he did this, he’d start back dashing a bit, to gain ground form the onslaught. For all it was worth, their teamwork was the most deadly part. That and Connor’s sixth sense of emotion wasn’t into play at this moment in time.

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/tumblr_mqutj5E3Fs1qjvbbco1_400_zps2ytkoxza.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">As Connor back dashed, the Bo-Staff user would’ve dug his staff into the ground and attempted to lunge towards Connor in a dive kick like fashion! Connor would’ve stopped back dashing, and darted forward with his right arm extended, and digging it into the neck of the staff user!

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/tumblr_n059f4Syo41t0mwtjo1_500_zpsx3wqzrqo.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor’s clothes line, closing his windpipe and knocking him out instantly, rendering his body no better than a rag doll’s as he hit the ground limp! Connor would’ve turned to see the braod sword user’s coming at him fiercely, but Connor had already anylzed their battle styles, and accelerated his movments, to the point where it almost seemed like he knew what they were going to do before they did it!

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/korra_line_test_gif_by_maritova-d32conb_zps05b70027.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor dispatching of them, leaving them with caved in chest, and bloodied mouths, all the was left was the dagger girl, who drug her self over towards Connor’s posistion. Connor was bleeding, but it didn’t slow him down an inch. The pain only empowered him as he looked at the girl. When she came at him, putting her all into her last slash attempt, Connor would’ve side stepped her and struck her in the back of her neck, putting her down for the count instantly, and letting her face first to the ground. His hand so quick, it doesn’t look like he transitioned it from it’s resting place at all.

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/81921647_zpsda5f3606.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">(stop music) Connor would’ve then looked over to Nara, his red chi flickering around his body yet again, as he’d eye her down. “You want some too?” Nara would’ve pulled out a fan, and opened it, covering her mouth as she spoke. “You took out some low grade hunters. Don’t get to full of yourself. You have shallow cuts on you, you didn’t even know appeared. “ Connor would’ve felt his neck, and felt the shallow scar on his jugular. His scowl only furthered. “Had you not been so quick, you would’ve lost your head…however, I can see fighting you will be an issue.”   She’d close her fan, before holding her arm in the air, straight up, and letting a dark purple energy trail up her arm and flame out at the end! As it did, she’d spread the fan once more, before swipping it down, and the flame coming off of it, and the flame would’ve stood about 6’5 before it began to take   a humanoid shape of sorts. As it took form, it’s form was revealed.

A New Challenger
<p class="MsoNormal">He was a tiall giant man, with skin quite different than the others. He had a muscular imposing figure, and eyes that contained a dead stare. The eyes of a man with nothing to lose what so ever. He merely looked down at Connor, with a death stare.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Connor looked at the large imposing figure, and tilted his head a bit. “Welll well well….aren’t you the big and beefy motherfucker we got here!” Connor would’ve slapped the man on his abdomen a couple of times. ‘someone eats there greens huh? Who’s this Nara? You’re special little enforcer to fight your battles for you?” Nara would’ve chuckled a bit before continuing to fan herself. “He is indeed. I do not wish to stain my hands with unworthy blood, so this is indeed where he will come in. His name is Tobi.” “Tobi?” Connor would’ve looked back up to the big man who continued to stare down at him with a bloodthirsty stare. “That sounds like a name for a   baby back bi-“ Connor didn’t even get to finish his sentence, before he was back handed square in his jaw and sent flying across the air in a straight line, before his back slammed straight into the stone walls of the temple, cracking it and his body disappearing on the other side! Nara giggled. “You ought to know, the bigger the better. He is one of the Negaforces finest and most powerful physical warriors we have to offer. Perfect in every sense of the word. You haven’t a chance in hell.” Connor’s hand would’ve emerged, gripping onto the edge of the hole his body had just made, pulling himself up from it, and coming to a standing position again, all be it with one eye closed. Connor felt the back of his head…there was blood. He’d had probably a minor open wound back there, but this didn’t much worry him. this guy however…nearly broke his jaw. Connor had been known to have an unusually strong chin, so this posed a pretty good little threat to him. Connor smirked at the challenge however, not willing to let such an opportunity to test his merit pass him by. “Alright big guy. Let’s test your metal for all it’s worth. I’m not giving up this mirror piece even if it cost my life. Which believe you me isn’t worth much in itself.” The giant man would’ve spread his legs, and his arms, making claw like notions with his hands, and flexing his muscles…as he did viens would’ve begun to emerge form his forehead and his level of chi would’ve begun   to skyrocket! A purpleish black flame fuming from his body as it spewed into the sky up at an alarming rate! Connor retaliated, causing his own red chi to flare up violently! The two approached each other with drawn back fist, and threw them forward!

<p class="MsoNormal">( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxmMnMTQvVs&list=PLYNBny7IRlVm1xHhYq5qHlNSsKkocXSF2&index=3 ) Both of them striking each other in the face! However once the impacts connected and the ground cracked beneath their feet, Tobi’s fist would’ve dug further into connor’s jaw cracking it, and sending his body blasting backwards again! Connor caught himself this time, putting his hand down, and letting friction do the work for him, slowing his fall and pulling him to a slide towards his left and then to a stop,

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/yusuke-slide-o_zps2df82699.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">   as he’d begin to stand up and run around his opponent at a rapid pace, to try and confuse his opponent! “He’s big! Let’s test his speed!” Connor ran in a circle, kicking up dust as he did, and causing the man’s clothing to fly and wither in the wind, of connor’s run! The man stood still, before his eyes glew red and shot out what looked like a red beam of light, at connor’s foot! It connected, and put a giant burn mark on the back of Connor’s calf, causing him to trip up into the air, and wince in pain! However the moment he went air borne, the giant man would’ve moved with shocking speed over to connor, to grip him by the back of the neck, and slam his stomach onto the point of his knee! As he did, connor could feel the blood squirt from his mouth like a ketchup packet being smooshed, as Tobi would’ve then raised his large arm above his head and brought it down on Connor’s back side sending him face first into the dirt and a small pool of his own blood! Connor would’ve pushed off of the ground and back rolled before Tobi could stomp him in the back, and standing with his arms by his sides and panting, Connor would look at this massive, champion in front of him. “Calm down Connor!....” Connor mentally coached himself. “You can’t…punch everything. Remember that.” Connor sighed, and stood straight up. His mid section aching and bruised, but he decided to try something he usually always resorted to….he’d extend his right arm towards the giant, and motion his right hand to resemble that of a gun with his index finger and thumb, pointed at Tobi. As quick as he did this, Tobi would’ve begun to walk towards him While connor concencrated a massive amount of chi into one single point, i.e the tip of his finger in his signature push blast! Connor charged it eye, looking at tobi, and pointing it. Tobi was only a few feet away, but instead of firing it, Connor would’ve pulled it and drew his right hand back! “ORYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!” Connor threw his fist into the nose of the giant! As hard as he could!...but to no avail! “Tch!” Connor would’ve leapt into the air and thrown a straight right kick, followed by twisting his body to the right and attempting to throw a straight momentum enduced left kick, both of which were blocked by the mighty tobi’s muscular forearms!

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/goku-vs-uub-ovv_zps347d021d.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">Tobi had a gleam of malice in his eye and strong one, so strong connor would’ve felt it for miles away! “UWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” the giant man roared, and attempted to send a punch directly into Connor’s stomach! Possibly trying to peirce right through him! “gah!” connor shouted, as he used a mico push to spin his body and flip, and re-adjust so the punch instead of impacting him, would’ve impacted the solid ground!

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/yusuke-vs-toguro-o_zpscab883c3.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">When it did a giant smoke screen of dust and gravel began to form, as cracks spreading half a mile out formed, and debries flew into the air as a result of it! Nara grunted. “Don’t let your eyes be fooled you oaf!” Tobi looked and saw Connor for a moment, and when he went to attack, Connor would’ve smirked, squatting down, and his body would’ve glowed red for a moment before literally dispersing and vanishing into thin air!

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/Speed%20Gifs/5266050fb2448eae53141a8699573df8_zps349e4bd9.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">Tobi’s punch missing again and creating an even thicker smoke screen! He grunted and looked around, his fist clenched, and his guard up! His eye caught sight of a shadow in the corner of it, and he instinctively turned around and threw a strong round house kick at the shadow, only to have split a rock in half! He looked dumbfounded, but in the middle of the grey smoke, one could see a brimming red light glowing in the distance! Tobi saw it too, but by the time he’d seen it, it was to late. He’d see Connor coming down from above, now at level with his head, his right arm extended in that same gun fashion he’d seen im do earlier, only a few feet away from his position. Connor would’ve looked tobi dead in the eyes, before uttering the phrase. “Bang.”

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/Aura%20Gifs/spirit-gun-o2_zpsb4282904.gif

<p class="MsoNormal">A giant red push blast would’ve exploded from Connor’s fingertip! The blast would’ve smacked Tobi smack dab in the center of his body, and spread from there to encompass his entire being! This push blast was red in coloration, which meant that Connor had thrown all caution to the wind and decided to go in for the kill! Oni Esscence: When Connor's Pusshu Bakufu is red in coloration it has a severely different effect, though it takes a bigger strain upon his body, he's gradually getting used to it. When shooting a red charged blast, the explosion radius is only at minimum 10 feet, (this is also dependent on Connor's intentions)but instead of concussive damage outwards, it's compressed into a much smaller beam the shot if it connects can dissolve any sort of organic cells, including plant, bone, energy, or even fertile dirt and dissolve them, destroying them at a cellular or even protein level, allowing them to destroy their targets, either by a specific part or outright disintegration. This is limited to a specific area i.e shooting an arm, would put a hole in that arm and sever it from the body. Its not a contagious effect so it doesn’t spread but is focused in one area. that doesn't mean that when it hits an object, one isn’t effected by the AoE, if you're in ten feet of it's radius when it explodes, what ever part is near it is effected, it can even overpower Regenerative Healing Factor by disintegrating cells faster than the victim can recover. This doesn't permanently halt the ability, but hinder it greatly.

<p class="MsoNormal">Tobi’s body would’ve been hurled back, by a giant blast of red air pressure! Pushing him back, for miles, and miles on end, even into a nearby forest! Connor would’ve landed on one hand, balancing his body weight on it, before pushing down and flipping himself back up to his feet. He’d place his right index finger infront of his lips, and blow the smoke coming off of it. “Bullseye.” After a few moments, and 10 miles out, the blast would’ve finally dispersed, and Tobi would’ve been laying in the ground…his clothes were singed, and he had red whelps and marks all over his body. Connor would’ve turned back to Nara and began to approach her slowly, rotating his arm in a circle. “Now I’ve saved the best for last. If I was single, I’d probably let you get away with this if you bent over, but those days are loooong gone.” Nara would’ve tilted her head, placing a finger under her chin. “I’m….sorry did you think the fight was over?” Connor stopped and his mouth dropped. “Ah…duh? You’re main man is” Connor looked over in the direction where he was blasted….and saw him walking his way back here. His broad and tall figure steaming with smoke, but not enough to the point where he was down. Connor’s eyes widned, as he took a few steps back. “That was…my. He should’ve been blown into nothing!” Nara, opened the fan infront of her mouth and spoke under her breathe. “Nara hasn’t taken that much damage in hundreds of years….I’ve heard the denizens of this realm were supposed to be weaker, but this…” she closed the fan. “Tobi! Quit lolly gagging around and kill this man! Rip his heart out!” Tobi nodded, before making his way over to Connor at a break neck pace! He drew his arm back and went to swing at Connor, and Connor would’ve raised his forearm to block, but the blow was so powerful, not only did the kick connect, but it hit connor’s forearm and bashed it against his skull! Connor’s eyes vibrated as his vision went to shit in the blink of an eye, and his hearing became a small ringing noise as he couldn’t tell his left from his right. “Wha-…what?” Connor looked like a lost puppy as Tobi would’ve hit connor in both sides of his chest with a one two combo, before lashing his right leg up towards Connor’s abodomen!

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/tumblr_mw6ozhQufP1r0b2hgo2_400_zps9496eb29.gif Connor is the bag XD

<p class="MsoNormal">the sound of Connor’s entire rib cage cracking and his sternum collapsing could be heard, as Connor’s jaw was locked to open as the pain he was experiencing was almost as bad as the beating he took from Hercules! Tobi would’ve used his massive hand to grip connor’s entire skull and squeeze a bit. Connor would’ve screamed bloody murder as it felt like his entire head was gonna collapse in on itself! That’s when Tobi would’ve used his free hand to begin repeatedly punching connor in the face with hook punches and back hands, all cracking different parts of his skull, brusing the skin with blood and blackening his face in attempt. Lucky for Connor he’d had a hard head, but he wasn’t invincible.

<p class="MsoNormal">http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/tumblr_n64a8zecSW1t06ubmo1_500_zpsx1pxtcib.gif

New Plan of Action!
<p class="MsoNormal">Tobi would’ve stopped his onslaught. Drops of blood dripped from Connor’s face, as his eyes were nearly swollen shut. Tobi would’ve taken his free hand covered in Connor’s blood and in a tiger like grip he’d attempt to dig his claws into the side of Connor’s chest where his heart was. Connor’s eyes widened as he screamed at the top of his lungs! It was so loud, it wouldn’t be a surprise of the neighboring civilizations could hear it! Tobi dug his fingers into connor’s pectoriol muscle, but Nara could see he was having difficulty. “His muscle tissues are incredibly thick, even for your super strength. Just push a bit harder.” Connor’s face was locked in a horrified expression as this guy was literally digging his fingers into Connor’s chest! With the grit of his bloodied teeth the young Ryoji did NOT give up! He’d use a micro push from his body, to push away tobi’s grip and his body just a few feet away which would’ve shot connor into the air, sending his body into a front flip. Going along with the motion, Connor would’ve balled up and after flipping a few more times, he’d lash his right heel out towards the top of Tobi’s head! A loud “KA-POW!” echoed as the dust around them flew up into the air! Tobi’s head soaring down, with a drop of blood coming from his mouth! Nara looked astonished for a moment, almost stunned! “He-he drew blood?!?” Connor didn’t stop there ,as his tatics changed! Taking advantage of his power hit, he’d land on his feet, grip Tobi by the arm, tucking it under his armpit, before rolling over the man’s massive appendage, and throwing his right foot in a cartwheel like kick, smack dab in the middle of tobi’s jaw, sending him flying straight towards Nara! The large man rammed into her and pushed them both about 30 feet out in a skid of dirt and smoke!

<p class="MsoNormal">Once done, Connor would’ve squatted down, his body being coated in a thin red chi again, as he bursted in a red dash, right towards where he sat his book bag down, and then further dashing into the temple! He made a tactical decision to avoid them for the time being and go and look for the mirror piece. Maybe he could make a clean get away. “Okay Connor new plan! Find the mirror piece! Hide your chi signature while you’re in here, and then stealth your way the fuck out of this place!” Connor delved into the temples deaths, passing stone epitaths and tombs a like. Meanwhile outside, Tobi would’ve stood up, helping Nara up as well. She’d look at the littered battle field and grunt. “Damn him. Come Tobi! We have to find him and secure the pieces! The king will not be happy if we do not!”

Fairy Tales...?
<p class="MsoNormal">Back with Josh

<p class="MsoNormal">“And that is all for tonight! This is only the beginning! If you’re interested in hearing more, come back tomorrow night to continue the legendary tale of the world breaker!” the crowd stood up, one by one leaving the tavern, and talking shit under their breathes about the entire scenario. Josh would’ve sighed, and remained on stage. “I told you they wouldn’t believe me. For everything I’d seen, even this sounds remotely bogus…” the woman behind the piano with a top hat on would’ve   shut the wooden cover over the keys, and spoken with a sincere tone. “it’s okay Josh. Once they hear the rest, they too will learn the ballad of the Crimson Fist, the Breaker of Worlds. Give them time, just as he gave us.” The woman would’ve closed her eyes, and put her hands together as if to pray.( http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=gisvHDO_pvw#Shenmue_OST_-_Nightfall ) “Oh sing a song, on sing a song. The light of night is now far and gone. The way is paved, and thus we pray, the Worldbreaker will right our wrongs.”

<p class="MsoNormal">An image of a woman in a very…very dark world. Plagued by nothing but a moonless black sky, and grey lands, devoid of any color or emotions. People of all tones, coughing, dying, and filled with plague and sickness. Overseers…with weapons and armor, guarding the entry ways of these people, these….slaves. these prisoners of a world they do not know, nor do they wish to know. Prisoners forgotten in the darkness of days past. A woman. A lone black haired woman sits up in her tent at night, only to pray. Praying for the prophecies Breaker of Worlds to come and bring freedom to her people. She recited something that sounded like a fairy tail. “The Black is all, and ever was. It’s barren and empty gray sands are home. It is all that exist, all that will cease, and all that is ever known. O, gods of disdain, bring us the pain, of trial and triumph abroad. For let us sing song, prosper and live long, the breaker of worlds shall free us all. May his crimson gaze, upon enemy cast haze, and change the climate to his whim. May his wrath be great, and his will be mighty as all will bow to him. The rage of a man, torn from his love, lie coursing through his veins. May he smite the wicked, and avenge the good, Worldbreaker bring peace to the people once again.”
