 Thunrian : "...HEY GET THE HELL UP YOU FUCKING DRUNK!" Some large brute would pour his drink over the raven haired young mans head. His cold golden drunk eyes turned to eye the brute. Bursting out into sheer laughter as he pour the drink over his head. " HAHAHAHA...Ahh... relax... It's a tavern...People drink here..." Keyth said pulling his arms up in attempts to show off the area around him. " You've drunken over your tab...And you dont have any money. To be honest, your starting to piss me off..." The Brute had red hair and seemed to be the owner of the tavern. His men began to stand, all of them just as big or threatning looking. The Tavern-owner pulled out a blade from under his belt pointing it at the raven haired boy with slanted eyes. Keyth returned the same death glare.((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgzYbHvqAng)) " Dont.... do that..."Keyth said through focused eyes. " You dont, want to do that... to yourself... None of you do.." He said taking a drink of his large glass. " HAHAA FUCKING PRETTY BOY THINK'S HE'S FUNNY HUH!?" The Tavern owner pulled the large blade up attempting to stab Keyth in the head with the blade but he'd simply throw his forearm in it's place. The blade hacking through his flesh Keyths chilling eyes turned up to the Red headed brute with a calm face, but threatning eyes... Murderous ones. When Keyth stood with the blade in his arm he pulled his right leg up and booted the Tavern owner right through his bar crashing through the oak wood with one kick from the young man. Keyth pulled the blade out of his arm, flipping it around so it was backwards in his grip. His hair swayed over his face, shadowing it for an errie effect. His horns began to show along with his Onigami tattoo's. " AN ON-GAWWKK!" Keyth lunged the one brute getting ready to announce the pressences of an Oni within the city. Keyth lunged the blade into his throat, twisting it and ripping his head off with one clean swipe. As the head went air-borune, Keyth caught it with his right hand holding it above his head. The rest of the lackies were now staring in sheer horror. The blood from the head began to pour down his arm and onto his head, into his dark hair and down his face. Keyth began to laugh as he tilted his head up to eye them with chilling red eyes. " NOOOOO!!!!" One of them shouted as the Demon slid through the room, burtally killing them all one by one. After about 15 minutes. They were all dead. Keyth rubbed the back of his neck and looked behind his shoulder with a cocked eyebrow. " Good work... your very resourcefull..." Said the Leader of the Gunto Town Police force. " These men have been with the slave trade for some time. Have you been in this type field before?" "...You mean some oh so holier than thou police force...Making the real killers do there dirty work while they never have to get there justified hands dirty?..... No. Never.." Keyth said pushing her out of the way and into the wall as he made his way out of the tavern, changing his clothese in the alleway before he made his way through the streets.



 Diversity : The teachings were nearly at their end, the hovering body of Michiko Akasawa still comatose as Zheren would hover his hands over her body, instilling her soul with a piece of his energy. Different tendrils of chi spilled from him into her, requiring quite a bit of his focus to apply a piece of his power to her. In her dreams she would be practicing the technique he’d taught her, known as /Chie Rokku/. Zheren had to admit, having kept to himself for countless years, he was glad to have met her. The young woman was wiser than most should be at her age, but she also held upon herself a great task and curse being the Seiketsu Senku-sha. All in all Zheren would watch her from afar, considering that the Unwritten Kami did not interfere with the affairs of mortals or Gods alike. But he knew deep down, having eavesdropped the major Kami, that she would be up for a hectic and hard journey ahead. The woman hovering vertically would seem to be kept in a bubble of unique energy as Zheren finally drew his hands back. “Now to let it settle in, and you shall be free to go, Michiko.” Zheren smiled, the expression lightly obscured by his beaded beard and mustache as the old man put his hands behind his back. But as he did this he sensed another near, causing his pale mint eyes to turn and lock onto a rather unsavory character approaching. The light evening breezes dusted around the pale white and green robes Zheren wore as he would narrow his eyes at the figure as a laugh was heard from the intruder. “Look at what we ‘ave ‘ere…” A heavily accented and eerie voice poured out with a cackling laugh. (https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1/1499658_569212239822382_57452161_n.jpg) The man approaching had dark dusky brown skin with white paint dried over his bare chest and legs. A patterned cloth hung over a set of wrap shorts and a long cheetah-fur cloak hung down his back, tied to several straps that crossed his musculature. Thick oily dreadlocks hung down his features, his face painted with white and black around the mouth and eye sockets, a tall hat sitting loosely atop his head. He had cold pitch black eyes that peered out from yellowed sclera and a sickening smile. Thick jagged hematite pieces lined his necklace, hat, and were shoved haphazardly into the straps crossing his chest like barbaric nails. He had long jagged fingernails that appeared sharp and dinged, paint gathered under his nails as if he’d been scratching it off of something. His body openly adorned a multitude of skulls, most of which hung from a group of reeds tied together over his arm. Another at the center of his loincloth and shorts, next to his canteen. As he walked forward a packhorse traveled weakly by his side, dragging a large cart of something unseen behind it. The packhorse too had old human skulls hanging from its saddle. The faint click of Laruq’s wooden staff wrapped in bandage and accented with a large vulture skull sounded against the earth as he walked barefooted closer to Zheren. “Ya’ got a fair little bit o’ trouble on ya’ hands, don’cha?” The man tilted his head back, smiling and revealing yellowed teeth that had been filed to sharp points. Zheren made no general expression, only stared forward as he stepped outwards and would nod. “Trouble, yes. But she is my charge still until I release her.” A professional approach. Laruq burst out laughing, a sickening and hyena-like cackle. “Oh, don’ be sa’ humble. If ya’ wan, jus’ hand ‘er ova… I’ll take ‘er off ya’ hands.” Laruq smiled wickedly but Zheren shook his head. “Not today my friend.” Zheren offered Laruq a smile. Laruq, a powerful chi-manipulator dispatched from the Grimoire to collect the Seiketsu Senku-sha, simply shook his head. “Don’ look like I’m in a mood ta be bargainin’, ol’ man.” (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=CyHCR6BZRbc) The man sneered as he would snap his callous fingers together, causing a small flame to dance along his fingertips. He would then hold up the reeds as the skulls attached clacked and clattered together. He reached his fingers into the eye sockets of one and lit some unknown material within it. When he pulled his hands out a thick toiling white smoke began to curl out of the orbital sockets and nasal passage of the skull, moving outwards as Laruq held the skulls up towards his face. With the smoking skull in front of his face, only his eyes peering over the top of the cranium, Laruq blew into a small hole in the back of the skull. The smoke rushed out of the eyes, mouth, and nose fast, growing massively as it turned and toiled and rushed around the packhorse, lurching into the cart behind it. The packhorse gave an anxious neigh as the cart began to rattle and the cloth cover rose up. When it rose up to twelve feet it finally slipped away, revealing the smoke to be turning into something else altogether as it connected to hundreds if not a thousand heavy wires and weaving itself through many pieces of armor. After only a half minute, a massive armored golem had formed, wielding an eight foot cleaver that was thicker than the average man was wide, and accented by a metal whip floating around its back that had dual hooks on each end (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs41/f/2009/036/d/9/Anima__Azriel_Omega_by_Wen_M.jpg). The armor gave off a weird hissing gasp sound as it stepped out of the cart, crushing the wooden braces that held it to the packhorse. The packhorse fell over and cried out, escaping as soon as the golem had passed it. “Time ta’ play, me faaaaavorite game!” Laruq screeched with enjoyment. The golem then twisted the blade in his hand and swung it too fast, the air around them howling in agony as the cleaver cut through countless bamboo trees and was about to slice through Michiko despite the energy bubble around her. Zheren held out his hand and she was ripped from the bubble, drawn to him. He hung the body of the young woman over his shoulder as he began to manipulate his own density to be lighter than normal, allowing him to jump the falling bamboo trunks with ease. A second cleaving blow cut them even more than before as he ascended faster and faster until he was at the top of the tree line. He moved onto a set of thin new branches and reached into his robes with one hand while the other hand the unconscious Michiko over his shoulder. He drew out a set of nearly ten puzzle pieces, each blank. But as he held them they started to colorize and glow, filled with his chi and his life essence. He put the essence of his Kami Transportation into each and every one, locking or anchoring it to his position. He then slung his hand to the sky and the puzzle pieces disappeared. Then he jumped down from the trees, launching himself outwards until he was a good thirty feet from the golem and the still cackling Laruq. “Do not stop your training, I will find us aid.” Zheren whispered to the body of Michiko as he lifted her up. She hovered into the air, vertically levitating as he began to use a very complicated visual Shiko Kyosasha to lock her into a vessel of protection. Multiple colors represented different frequencies of chi forming a legitimate and extremely difficult puzzle around Michiko’s body, locking her protectively in its energy. But now Zheren had to worry about Laruq and the golem. The golem could not hurt Michiko now, but Laruq was already analyzing the Shiko Kyosasha to begin solving its puzzle. Zheren would shake his head, knowing the puzzle pieces launched to the sky would soon find him some kind of aid. “I am not fond of intruders. I am going to have to use more than just words to repel you, I fear.” Zheren put his hands together and his robe dusted back as he began to channel a powerful amount of chi and his labyrinthine eyes locked onto the oncoming massive golem and Laruq… ||||| In the Gunto township, everything would be fairly peaceful. That was until a crack of light erupted in the sky in a multitude of colors, and down from the sky rained about ten little orbs of light. They shot into the ground and steamed once they landed as if burning hot. Ten puzzle pieces had landed in the township, each one different in size or shape, but each one containing the same energy. The almost intoxicating and powerful glow was enough to warn anyone touching them could have a varying effect. But also one who looked too long would notice that the puzzle pieces almost felt like they were calling out for attention… And if one were to pick up a piece? They’d have time to read the symbol on the back which read “battle” before they were transported via the energy in each one to the actual scene of Zheren, Laruq, and the armored golem. While useful, it was not exactly the easiest consenting way to draw in assistance for this fight. But Zheren was not about to risk Michiko’s life alone. 





 AlessandraSkar : The sun had begun to set beyond the horizon and Shira's Bakeneko ears had already begun to pick up the sounds of night critters emerging from their hiding places to roam about the forest. Perched up on a tree branch nearly a hundred feet off of the ground, her cat-like blue eyes darted back and forth like bullets across the pages of a spell book she had salvaged from the battle at the Witch's Brew. For the most part, she could not quite understand the foreign hieroglyphs and ancient texts written within the book but there was a particular section that seemed to stand out to her more than the rest of the book. A passage that, for some reason, a part of her mind felt that it could actually read and take in. Every time her eyes scanned the foreign symbols, she could feel her chest tighten with excitement and her toes tingle with the urge to execute whatever spell it could have been. The way the words glowed in mystical emerald was invigorating and she found herself wanting to whisper what that euphoric part of her wanted her to whisper. “In the shadows where peace and chaos reside, hide the light from their blackened eyes. Where creatures dance to the song of the night, and fill their dreams to the brim with fright.” Shira heard a gasp but didn't realize that it was her own as suddenly, her sight of the forest shattered like a glass, colorful shards of blues and greens falling down into darkness. She felt herself falling with them, unable to scream and unable to see past the pitch blackness that had quickly enveloped her and suddenly, there was a flash of bright lavender. “Shizuko, my darling, wake up! Something is happening!” Shira opened her eyes to a name that wasn't her own, only to look around at a bedroom that wasn't her own. She felt something pulling on her right arm, jerking and shaking her side to side until her attention finally snapped into full focus. She blinked several times, her eyelids feeling heavy and moist like she had been asleep this whole time. Her head turned slowly to see a woman lying next to her trying to shake her awake. What did she call her? And what was this “my darling” business? She sat up after realizing that she was laying on her back and looked down at her hands, bare arms, and chest, only to discover that she was not Shira at all. In fact, she was looking down at the body of a man. “What?” Her eyes widened. Well...HIS eyes. “What is this? What have I done?!” She started to pant in fear, the masculine, calloused hands that were now hers beginning to tremble noticeably. “What's the matter?” The woman beside her...him...gently touched his shoulder. “Shizuko?” Shira whipped her head around, only to feel long, black hair smack against the side of her face, her wild eyes staring at the woman beside her. The woman immediately started to scream and scramble away like she was looking at a monster, nearly falling to the floor as she ran out of the room. Shira threw herself out of bed and ran up to a mirror, only to see a grown man staring right back at her. Standing well over six feet tall, slender but built with muscle, perhaps from harsh manual labor. Jetblack hair cascaded past broad shoulders, framing a face that couldn't have seen more than 30 years of his life. What gave that woman such a fright were the man's eyes which were now glowing an ominous blue if blue were such an evil color. And his teeth which had grown into fangs sharp enough to bite through steel. And his hands, from which visibly sharp claws had elongated. (For fuck's sake just picture a shirtless Inuyasha with black hair instead of silver). “What is this?” Shira spoke in a voice that wasn't her own. A much deeper, more masculine voice that scared the living hell out of her. “Did I do this?” She touched her clawed hand to her face slowly, thinking back on what she had been doing moments ago. Reading out of that book to be precise, that one passage that the Bakeneko in her was somehow able to understand even though her own eyes only perceived hieroglyphics. It was a spell that had allowed her to possess the body of a man by walking into his dreams, which explained why his lady friend had been shaking him awake like that. She had to wonder if he felt her presence taking over his body. If he saw something horrific in his dreams and started to scream just before his own soul left him. Shira looked around at the room she was in, then made her way out, wandering around a flat, one-story abode until she found the door to the outside world. Stepping out into the cool air, she first noticed that she was within the walls of some unknown town, citizens walking to and fro in all directions minding their business as they pleased. And then, feeling the hairs on the back of her neck standing, she lifted her eyes to the sky which was an ominous dark gray, jumping as lightning flashed brightly above the town. She watched the orbs of light fall from the sky and felt a strange feeling crawl up from the base of her spine, warning her of approaching danger. “What's happening?”  She wondered out loud, growing concerned. The sound of a child crying caused her head to whip around, but she didn't see a child anywhere. Her head turned left and right, snapping as fast as a cat in confusion as she tried to locate the source of the sound before it drove her crazy. It wasn't long before she recognized that cry. “Daisuke? Daisuke!” Once again, everything around her shattered like a glass, the pieces of that reality falling into darkness as the man's body collapsed to the ground outside of his door. Shira felt her spirit slam back into her own body several miles away in the forest, her eyes bursting open as she drew in a harsh gasp. Laying beside her crossed leg in his pouch, Daisuke was practically pitching a fit for Lord-knows what reason. She grabbed him quickly and held him against her chest, rising to her feet as her cat-like balance instantly kicked in, allowing her to stand on the tree branch with ease. She could see a town some miles ahead in the distance, wondering if that was the same town where she had possessed the body of that man. If it was, then she knew she needed to get there and figure out what was going on, plus get Daisuke something to eat. “Unmei,” She spoke to her weapon, which was perched against the trunk of the tree to her left. “Get us to that town over there. And while we're on the way, you're gonna explain to me what this spell book is for exactly.”



 Guest_Keizumai : -((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JowiGdK1JiA)) Akuma would still be recovering from the fight with Ryugami he really didn't get to much damage but his body was still sore, his broken arm head pretty much healed up completely thanks to his crazy as healing ability, Akuma would be wondering around Gunto town, with both his hands behind his head, he be staring up into the sky as the sun began to set"who knew there was such a place like this"a light breeze would pick up, blowing his hair and his True Red coloured jacket softly behind him as he continued his way down the street. He'd turn around when he felt someone grab hold of his shoulder, he'd turn around seeing arm fairly tall man around his height maybe an inch or two tall which would make the guy about 6'4, his emerald green eyes peering back into his((http://yakuza-mob-roleplay.wikia.com/wiki/(Shinto)Kaguro who he was)) "Hey Kid You I Got Something For You"Akuma would eye the man funny for a second before being handed a little crystal like thing."What's is it wait who are you"The guy(Kaguro) just laughed"Relax Kid You Can Trust Me I Own A Shop Near-by And I'm Just Promoting My Wares That's All"Akuma would look at the crystal in his hand for a minute. just then it'd hit him the crystal had a chi-signature and not just anyone's it was Ryugami"Where did you get this"Akuma said his face was more serious now"I have my sources now come on why don't you try absorbing it i know you can do it""and how would you know that" Kaguro would then laugh"you worry to much kid like I said I'm just promoting my wares now try it"Akuma eyes would then turn red as he began to absorb the crystal once he did he'd feel his body erupt with chi in fact it was overwhelming as it caused him to drop to his knee squeezing his upper body with his arms as his body glowed a red colour, Kaguro facial expression would be in awe"So you really are him""What the hell did you do"Akuma said as he looked up at him,Kaguro would then smile before turning and walking away"Well Good luck now controlling that power oh and Tell Your Friend to stop by aswell"and just like that the man disappeared into the crowd"the hell was that"after awhile the chi seemed to settle and akuma rose to his feet. He'd Then Turn Around and continue walking just then there'd be a flash of multiple coloured light that erupted from the sky, Akuma Would jump back a bit as something crashed into the ground right in front of him"the hell is that a puzzle piece?" The puzzle piece would be smoking and glowing a multiple colours~no don't about it that's Chi around it~ Akuma would walk back over to the smoking piece staring at it before picking it up with his right hand examining the puzzle, it seemed like it belonged on the outer side of a puzzle, Akuma would then flip the piece over noticing the Symbol on the back of it"Battle?"just as he said those words he'd be teleported some where, he'd pop up next to some old guy, there'd be a golem and some creepy looking as dude next to it"The Fuck"Akuma would then look up noticing the doctor woman floating in the sky he'd have a confused look on his face at first but it only lasted a few second before a wicked appeared across smiled his face(( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOgFJJikIHo ))"look like we're gonna have a party"he mumbled to himself before turning towards the golem. he didn't need to verify who the enemy was in this situation, The Barrier around the doctor matched the same signature as the old man's so he knew he was helping not to mention that the other to just looked like bad guys anyway."so old man Should I take out the golem or the boogieman(larqu) I'll ask for the details later"if anyone looked back he'd See Akuma Standing with his sword across his shoulders, his body would be letting off huge amounts of chi though it'd be controlled and concentrated and letting out powerful gust of wind around his body his True Red jacket blowing wildly along with his pants lighting would then begin to flash around his body, his eyes would also be glowing a purple colour while emitting lighting from them((http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140123200608/yakuza-mob-roleplay/images/7/7b/Aomine_daiki_by_kjmarkely-d6qy63y33333.png how he'd look)) while he his body began to glow a Crimson Red Colour. Anyone that fought Ryugami would notice that akuma's chi would be giving of a similar chi signature since it has completely merged with his own yet. if one was far enough away were they couldn't see him they'd might even mistake it for Ryugami himself-



 Thunrian : ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXnWfx6bIVE)) Making his way down the street. His hands sat behind his head. Thinking calmly to himself... Things seemed peacefull. But he felt a disturbance elsewhere. Like something ringing in the back of his head. He stopped, pulling himself to the side as he put a hand on his forehead for a moment. His brain began to rack, throbbing with enticing pain as his nose started to bleed. Before long, he pulled his hand up to his nose eying the red substance on the back of his hand. His eyes narrowed his blood had that silver tint again... like it did for awhile when he was back home, in Kasaihana city... Not being able to shake the feeling he soon turned his attention to the sky. a crack of light erupted in the sky in a multitude of colors, and down from the sky rained about ten little orbs of light. They shot into the ground and steamed once they landed as if burning hot. One of the pieces blasted down into Keyths general direction before he turned his attention to it. His bright golden eyes stayed dead set and focused on the glowing orb... making his way to it slowly he'd pull his hand up in attempts to touch it... It had a burning sensation that radiated from the orbs radius of glow... a powerful heat. It glowed a bright red, that shifted into a dark Orange after occassions. "...The hell is.." he said to himself as he reached his right hand out towards the small orb only for a voice to echo back at him. "... The legend states that the Heroes of time who saved the land from The Demon king will return but this time as enemies to this world... Looking to destroy the very fabric of what this worlds hold's. Within the legend, it states each barring the form of a powerful deity due to the god's shunning them... they'd all proceeded.. defying the god's orders and trust to fight against them, and there holy angels. Within that legend...." The man said to Keyth as he finally stepped out of the darkness of the shadow that surrounded them both within the alley. His jet black hair cascaded down his dark attire to match...his very aura made Keyth feel.. beneathe him. ((http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120203062048/bleachfanfiction/images/7/7c/Sosuke_Aizen%27s_Return.png)) " Your voice...where do i know your voice from..." The man looked almost divine... perfect. Not a flaw, blemish amongst his skin. A wrinkle upon his face...his skin, crystal clear and lightly tanned. Though his eyes shared two different tones one Golden... Like Keyths very own. And the other Dark as ebony night. "..." The man simply smiled at Keyth's response. " Though this legend has two stories. Rather than one such as all stories almost always do.." He said with his thick british accent, his tone deep...Thunderous, Echoing. " The Orginal states The Heroes of time as saviros against a evil menance who has this world veild over a blanket of trickery... a Deity hiding in plain sight.... And the other states is the one i just spoke of prior. But there is no villian here Keyth, there is no villian veiling this world over, is there? No. There is no. But... there is a man, a simple man.. who wishes to put places like this....and places beyond. In perfect order, into perfect harmony. With no death, and no pain... Just love. And bliss...blissful happiness, oblivious and ignorant to hatred, or pain. Simply love. No Jealously... no greed... But first. In order to reach this world... this world that this man oh so wants. He must plunge both worlds, into needless..death. Because Keyth Tasanagi. With Death, comes salvation. And with Salvation, comes freedom. With Death this world can be born a new along with the other beyond." The mysterious man pulled his hands up, with both of his hands two orb like translucent planets could be seen in both hands. Blue in the right, and red in the other. " One world...that's burried deep within the barrows of hate and time. Forever scarred and forver beaten by the past. It will never truly heal. Simply scabs of hatred upon the land. Cobbled up in one place... in 'havens'. Like your home, Kasaihana city... This world is the red one. Your world.." Keyths eyes widned his heart thumpping and the sound quaked on...a lingering one. " And the blue planet... is this world. Hatred and that lies deep within but its covered in a blanket of beauty. The polar opposite of your world you see. In this world... life comes new, and life is cherished. The normal humnoid here lives over 500 years. No one goes hungry, and crimes are rarely committed. Apart from the bandits but even they have god's that protect them. That love them. This world never new hate...untill.... You." Keyth gasped at his words again, his eyes shaking rapidly back and forth as he began to back into the wall. " When the Onigami arrived, even when the Great Messiah of Hachiman and the champion of Tsukyomi brough everyone back to life. The pain the Onigami left upon all lands of this vast world, created it's first scar. With the death of the Shishigami family... Goruda went to waste, a badlands filled with greed and theivery. It's pratically a black hall, a gathering of dark mages. The Shishigami kingdom always put a stop to these factions before they grew to levels of threats.  But with your arrival...came the iradication of that family. And with there death.... it is now plunged into darkness... But that isnt the only place to know death. " ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XP7KRHY564M)) " Many lands throughout this place, this planet. Do you even know what this place is Keyth Tasanagi? It is another Dimension. A universe of it's own across space from your world. Across time, through plains. It is it's own world. This planet is similar to what earth used to be, the planet Fumei with all of it's glory..." The man said before dropping both of his hands and the two planets stayed afloat in the air. He took a step back and allowed conjured a red sun between the two worlds that was also like a mini projection. The alley exploded with constallations, stars exploding all throughout the dark region of the alleyway. " I... a simple man. Seek to guide both of these worlds, merging them into one plain of exsistance. And with the power of the god's this simple man. Can do just that... but first. I must guide everyone on both sides to there salvation. To there freedom's..." " To there deaths..." Keyth said cutting him off. The Myserious man smirked as he tilted his head to the right. "Precisly..." He said crossing his arms and both of the planets were engulfed by the suns and destryoed and the consuming sun created awhole new world from the two. " Your world, a tattered world meant for destruction since its first form of time since the big bang. And this world, a fake projection of what the god's wanted the orginal to be. Your on the wrong side Keyth... Dont you see? We want to create a new world with the god's on our side.... we wish to create new life. With newfound oppertunity. A Perfect world, but before true life... must come death. And As I... the Angel of Death. Grimalde... I shall cast this world and the next into a purging darkness of damnation and morbid winds of frosting death. Some may think of it as a plague to soon be crossed. But it is indeed a cure. The god's are on my side you know. They see the damage you comitted along with your damn family 600 years back. And now they wish to be rid of both places. You caused this. It's your fault. But that's ok....if you join me... Then as your new god. I will show mercy upon your soul. I will turn you into my greatest weapon... the strongest blade. And i will be your swordsman. Keyth, Tasanagi..."Keyth closed his eyes looking back at the orb, and then back at Grim who had his hand extended out. " Redeem, repent for the pain you have caused. Because if you dont, even your own children will suffer from due to your mistakes." Keyth clenched his chest as he looked down at the ground trying to block him out. " Your children dont love you even they look down upon you. Some hero... your never there for them. But that's ok...Join me... and you can be the hero you wish for them to B-" ((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0A9aEOt4MM)) A Punch had been thrown right into the man's jaw. Causing his face to twist amongst the impact that sent him skidding back by 5 feet. Holding his slightly scuffed cheek. His right hand went up to touch it before he smiled at Keyth, tilting his head down. " Leave my kids..... out of this..... You think i'm gonna let you talk all that shit about me....and my family....and my kids.... You stupid high and mighty prick...." Keyth said looking at him as his eyes shifted into a bright red. " Im no hero..." Keyth said standing to his full height pulling his hand back from his fist. " And im surely not some low life prick who feels like he's better than everyone and can purge this world of what he deems as unfit. Fuck what you say, on my world.... When i become the chairmen to the Kagemaru clan. I'm gonna change the world. Now i know why it's my responsiblity for me to be the chairmen. My dad kept guys like you from reaching to that point, from reaching this..." He had a flash back from when Keyome spoke about how they all had failed... but really his eyes had been on Keyth. " Assholes like you always feel like you can changed the world in your own fucked up way but that's not how shit is going down do you hear me! It's my fault this world is this way, and it's my fault you've gotten this far because i didnt take that seat as chairmen and stop you before it happened. It's all my fault your right, and because of that......" Keyth felt his heart thump proudly, an image of his father appearing over him when he was younger when he first faced off against Danchou appeared, speaking along with him. " It's my responsiblity to fix it!" He said as he turned his back on Grim he began to walk to the glowing orb before he turned around one last time, eying him with slanted and dead set eyes. " Your the one who's been running the shows this whole time... and i see that now. Next time i see you..." Keyth said as his eyes flared back to a crimson red. " Me and my friends.... will kill you." Keyth said as he gripped onto the orb and it blasted him off elsewhere. Grim pulled his hand down from his now healed jaw a smirk on his face as white tiger came out of the shadows behind him. " He isnt ready yet..." White tiger said with a frown on his face, though grim had a grin on his. " All...in due time, i've simply lit the match. Now he must burn..." ((http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=LHQwMeLOsXs)) Soon Keyth came blasting through, warped through a bright light as he blown right into the fray, soaring through the air. His eyes had been dead set and locked onto the situation at hand." Hm!? Ryugami!?" He said turning his head down only to see Akuma there instead. " That cant be...that power is.... noway.." He felt his heart thump looking at one of his kids in his dojo brimming with that kind of power. Though his look of astonishment would surely be broken once he looked up to see his beloved in a sleeping state in some form of protection. The old man had been there as well, when he looked down he'd see a massive golem, along with some voodoo looking guy. Keyth's eyes slanted into a tight frown as he used his Batsuo to land next to Akuma before flicking his nose, he'd walk right past the Golem looking rather unamused. "....You..." Keyth said sniffing the man's chi from afar. He smelt like grim... " Akuma... handle the golem." Keyth said flicking his nose as his body errupted with a red rush of chi that caused his hair to stand up for a moment before he rushed. ((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbJTDNELRSk)) " I got this one...." Keyth said as the flaming rush of chi would encoat his body began to errupt with the sheer pressure of his increased anger. (Keyth was a owner of anger impowerment: Users become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. through anger, rage, hatred, and vengeance whether their own or others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers. Some users may be able draw sustenance from the elements or even slow or stop aging.) Due to his blaring anger... and the situation prior and now... his reasoning would surely be thrown away, his true berserker now showing. "....You trying to hurt my Mimi..." Keyth said as his eyes lowered at the voodoo looking male tilting his head to the right. Not even giving him the chance to respond. Keyth charged, doing one of his typical combo's The smash back. The user punches the opponent in the stomach with his right hand with enough force that it surely knock the breathe out of his opponent. Rearing the right hand going for a strick uppercut. Causing the stomach muscles to loosen on impact. Then, he proceeds with an attempt at punching the opponent away by 6 feet with his left hand, with a staggering left hook in the jaw with a swift speed that would appear in a blurr, soon dashing after the opponent to right hook kick them in their face, that if connected would cause said opponent's body to twist rapidly upon impact, causing the jaw to slightly crack do the sheer pressure of Keyths strikes. Finally, the user attempts to axe kicks the opponent's head with the right leg. knocking them into the ground, if connected, the blow would strike the top of the skull if connected which could kill if the blow had been successful. Each punch prior to the last kick would each have there share of bone crushing devastating blows. If his attack had been interrupted or blocked, or dodged at any point of the combo, Keyth would jump back by 3 feet to avoid any counter strikes, pivoting his body left to right like a boxer, swinging his body in swift motions so that he'd be moving in blurring after images before arriving to his destination. It consists of him unleashing a powerful barrage of punches and kicks at an extremely fast rate, 6 kicks, 3 with the left, 3 with the right, all aiming at the stomach, that if either connected would would cause the stomach muscles to churn, and possible cause projectile vomiting. After each kick made, He'd retract his leg back within a 1.1 time frame, so any hooking leg counters could be avoided for later. As the combo continued, Keyth would lash out with 3 punches with the left and the right. Each punch with a bone chilling effect. All aiming at the chest area that would crack the voodoo strangers sternum if any of the fists made connection. Before ending with a powerful kick to the face with the left leg, a swift spinning round house kick, which if connected, the explosive technique of thunderous paw would take effect and his opponent would be blasted back by 13 feet through the grounds crust. launching the opponent backwards with a possibly broke jaw..However, if the first combo had been dodged by jumping away at any point, then Keyth would have came with a basic attacks used by Keyth. Keyth charges with explosive Chi surrounding him, speedily dashing straight to the enemy with the force of a boar, and head-butts him with all his might. Causing the opponent be knocked through losing majority of air in there body, and also forcing projectile vomiting if connected, and if the strike made its mark, he'd be hit in mid air, so Keyths second combo prior to the first would surely make its admission further on. -E-



 Diversity : (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=qKxDzyHPo0o) Zheren saw two show up, and the help would be greatly appreciated. While Akuma looked to be ready for the golem, Keyth jumped straight in to the fight with Laruq. A brief distraction- but not a great one. The moment Keyth threw the first blow, Laruq stepped back and pulled the cheetah-fur cloak upwards and in front of him defensively. Every single blow landed, making the cloak ripple and pushing him back blow by blow. But at the very end of Keyth’s massive onslaught of attacks, the cheetah fur cloak was jerked back to reveal the sickening sharpened yellow grin of Laruq as his eyes were wide and piercing. Had he even taken a single ounce of damage? He was cackling darkly as he was quickly backpedaling in a parrying assortment of perfect elusive steps, his bare feet twisting in the grass until he had created seven feet of space between him and Keyth. If Keyth approached during this time, they would’ve begun an equivalent dance backwards that continued until Keyth stopped or until his next attack was over. Laruq, not making too much space between them, grabbed one of the skulls hanging from the reeds on his shoulder and lifted it up. He plucked the back of the head and then with his other hand clutched the jaw bone, making it move as if it was talking. “Ah no, ya’ ain’ got what it takes lit-tal man. Boy can run with wolves, but I am Godfather o’ the wicked! TEEHEEHEE!” The shrill chattering of laughter was accentuated by the clapping of the skull’s teeth, clattering away until he finally pulled the jawbone wide open and what emerged next escaped not just the skull’s “mouth”, but also its orbital sockets. A heavy and powerful blast of chi burst out of the skull with a dark and thick smoky black consistency, like ichor being thrust out in projectile speeds upwards of one hundred miles. The dark chi of Laruq was powerful enough to knock Keyth back until he hit some kind of obstacle, such as a bamboo tree, and even then it would break whatever obstacle he struck before it let up. The effect of his raw dark chi also was the feeling of being slowed down. One might notice that if hit with Laruq’s raw dark chi, they would be covered in tendrils of black chi like they’d just crawled out of a tar pit, and as such it would sap their kinetic energy out of them whenever they began to move. The first blow of chi was enough to suck up a third of a person’s total maximum speed capabilities. After that, his chi strikes could accumulate and inevitably make it so that a person was dragging slowly across the battlefield. When the skull’s mouth would close he’d twist the cheetah fur cloak up and he’d cackle, dancing around until his bare feet couldn’t even be seen before he pulled it back, having moved in unearthly ease and grace towards the colorful chi-cage Michiko was in. He slammed his bare palm into it and Zheren was there with his hands ready. But the moment Laruq put his hand on the cage, some of the chi shifted around Michiko. He had solved a piece of the puzzle. He was breaking it down, and it wouldn’t take much more. He had a high intelligence, which made him fit to steal her even from the Kami Zheren. Zheren opened his palms fast and shot his hands outwards and a line of colorful chi panels appeared hovering just over the grass, a straight line outwards towards Laruq. The moment Laruq backpedaled from Michiko, he’d step on one as Zheren plotted all likely movements by Laruq and then set up the floor puzzle to be fit like so. Laruq, having moved backwards and stepped onto Zheren’s pre-planned path, ignited one of his Shiko Kyosasha panels, and thus a concussive explosion ruptured outwards causing Laruq to be sent flying. He experienced a briefer period of paralysis as the paint on his body seemed to tighten around his skin as if it was clothing and not paint. It relaxed after he hit the ground and rolled to his feet though, grasping his reed of skulls and his wooden bird-skull accented cane. “Ah! Look at ya’ ol’ bones, still got some… magic ta’ behold!” Laruq took his cane and held it upwards as black ichor of his chi covered the skull accenting the cane and suddenly the whole cane was cocooned in black over a very short, rapidly elapsing period of time. By the time the cane was still and faced towards Zheren some odd twenty feet away from Laruq, a massive six foot long bird of prey, what looked like an eerie black nightmare vulture, launched off of the staff constructed of Laruq’s eerie dark chi. It flew straight towards Zheren and screeched with the same tone as the skull that had been used to attack Keyth. Elsewhere, the golem had seen Akuma and wasted no time. The cleaver- massive as it was and way bigger than even the tall well-muscled Akuma, came sweeping down in a diagonal crescent aiming to cleave the poor man from left shoulder to right hip like he was made of lukewarm butter. The odd metal links behind him, looking almost like metal spinal column pieces, whipped and whirred metallically around the massive golem as the dual-hooked ends would look to catch any attack Akuma physically sent forward and negate them by hooking his fists or attacking legs. If Akuma did not move in any hostile form, the hooked metal whip would simply hover around the golem and wait for him to do so. The massive armored golem then picked up its cleaver and sat it on its shoulder with a loud metal “clank-clank!”. It was now when Akuma might notice the proportionally too-large armored hand of the golem coming right for his head. Seeing it hover outwards, just like the other hand, he’d notice that the fingertips were bladed with sharp razors. If the sudden gesture to reach out and grab Akuma’s head in its grip was successful, the golem would’ve curled his fingers. As if the pressure of having your head crushed by a big metal golem wasn’t enough, the blades would’ve lacerated and punctured the neck until he could’ve just pulled Akuma’s head right off of his shoulders like plucking a grape from a frail vine. 



<p class="MsoNormal"> ChairmenRyoji : After properly gathering the information needed Densuke, densuke was about to walk off and take heed to moving on with his investigation. That would be interrupted as he accidentally steped on something. He payed it no mind at first, until his insticts told him it could be another clue of sorts. With that in mind he took a step back, and looked down at the puzzle piece. Odd. Densuke squatted down to look at it, and held his right hand out. Suddenly the staff he sold to the merchant woud rush back out of his shop, breaking the wall down and place itself in the palm of densuke’s grasp. Densuke would take hold of it before furrowing his brow and lifting up to look at it, before suddenly his body vanished. In the blink of an eye. He’d find himself falling, and landing down in an open area sourrounded by bamboo. Densuke looked around to see familer faces. Keyth for one fighting and apparently having a time with some black voodoo man of the sort. He’d then look to see an unknown but familer face facing off against a golem of sorts, a metal one to boot. Densuke would watch as the young man moved from the golem’s approaching hand (hopefully) and shrink his staff to the size of a toothpick, placing it between his teeth. (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=Spg9RREW76o ) Densuke would nod with a “not bad” expression on his face and walk up to the thing casually stoping 5 feet away from it. “you’re gonna be a challenge. Saddly for you, you will be defeated, just like the rest. Doesn’t mean you can’t help me train..now DOES IT!” Densuke would cross his arms and unfold them, suddenly becoming more muscular than he was before employing his strong arm technique (http://yakuza-mob-roleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Densuke_Mifunae#Strong_Arm_Technique ) This was a technique developed by Densuke when he was growing up. This technique could be considered a steriod for the body, mainly his right or left arm (or any misc body part). Densuke floods his arm (for example) with chi, cuasing the muscle itself to grow up to 3x in size, increasing either defense or offensive capabilities, except for here in the Shinto realm with his chi increase, he caused his muscles to flex to 10x their normal size, looking like some form of ascended super saiyan (basically how buff he got http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110629003021/dragonball/images/4/47/AscendedSuperSaiyanGoku.png ) for example: Offensively, Densuke could increase his arms muscle mass to multiply his overall punching power to that of a heavy weight boxer on speed, or Defensively, strengthen the muscles in his chest to cushion the blow from a steel pipe (though damage would still be taken) or stop a sharp weapon from making complete penetration (thought it would still pierce the skin layer, drawing blood) Miscellaneously, He could apply this technique to his leg muscles, to increase his running momentum, or jump height to about 10 feet off the ground without a running start. The moment he finished, he’d employ the foot technique Tweh (To Retreat): Allows the user to retreat or create distance between user and opponent. This move is also near instantaneously within the blink of eye. With this he’d now only be a feint looking afterimage in front of the golem to attempt to throw him off, when in actuality Densuke merely circled the metallic monster at Mach 1 speed, even going as far as top “tap” his foot down extra hard when he arrived behind the golem during his stride, to cause him to either look back or react to said faint. Even if it didn’t fall for the feint, Densuke would proceed with his next attempt which would be an attempted grueling knee the opponent in their stomach, having enough force and muscle mass to cause the monstrosity to double over in pain if it felt that. Following up the combination, Densuke would merely spin in a forward diagonal direction and again attempt another knee, but this time in their face from above. This knee would have enough force to crack, or even hopefully dent the monsters face if it connected, aiming to at least kill mobility, by trying to take out the eyes and the bridge of its metallic helmet/face plate. Weather this knee hit or was blocked a force of wind would be emitted from the sheer power of Densuke’s muscle mass and force of blow. He’d follow up again hit or miss (applies to all the hits here) by spinning again and throwing a right legged roundhouse kick at the left side of its metallic face sending the monstrosity flying backwards a literally 7 feet if it connected properly, and with the force from the kick a loud “BOOM” would erupt weather it hit, missed, or was blocked. Keeping combo pace, Densuke would use his tail as a sudden propeller to emit a force from behind his body, (this is only if the roundhouse kick connected) moving at mach 1 yet again to attempt to appear behind the golem if it went the timed distance, and attempt to send a knee to its back, the force of said knee enough to stop it in mid movement, and again  and again be another stun maneuver. Hit or miss, Next, he’d attempt to emit a large chi based wind, by flocculating his chi at such a rapid velocity rate, a wind speed of 350mph would be emitted from his body, enough force to turn over 18 wheelers. This wind if it hit the golem would send it flying backwards a staggering 10 feet, and even cause microdenting on it’s surface, in turn weakening the metal a bit unless it decided to retaliate and fix it’s self. This combination would be preformed in one swift motion if uninterrupted, but even if areas of the combo were blocked or short ranged dodged, Densuke would continue and press forward with the combo attempts. If countered he’d rely on his bodies durability to defend himself.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Guest_Keizumai : ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-bdvKOrzeg)) Akuma be standing with a black and red aura pulsing off him. He'd Look up to see keyth flying in to the battle walking right by him telling him to handle the golem, Akuma facial expression would still be calm and focused tho really he was anything but calm in fact he was on edge"Fine" Akuma's right eye would then flash a red colour before turning a fiery red-ish orange signalling that his emperor Eye had kicked in ((Akuma has trained his right eye to see even the slightest movement allowing him to notice things that most people wouldn't everything seemly slows down to the user. When in combat he picks up on the slightest movement on the opponent and use's that to predict the opponents next attack or use's it to know the best time to strike the opponent with amazing accuracy, Akuma has been said to be able to tell the future of his opponents.Tho he has no control over this ability and can only use it when pushed to the extreme in a situation. While the user might be saved by the use of the eye, but nothing comes with out an price. the user's body would become extremely fatigued due to the amount of chi that flowed to their eye.

Akuma would Walk forward as the golem attempted to cut him in a diagonal slash akuma would then raise his right hand up, the rebellion would appear halting the golem Clever with a loud Clang Noise as they hit each other. The golem would then try to grab hold of Akuma's head. Akuma would duck avoiding the grab attempt while at the same time spinning so that he ended up on the left side of the golem akuma would then try to cut the Damn thing in two with an horizontal swing from the Rebellion only to have his wrists hooked by one of the metal hook like chain on the back of the golem. Akuma a smile would creep across Akuma's face as he'd grip onto the chains around his wrist. Akuma would notice the present's of another man behind him and he read the other males movements a predict the other males attack before it was even attempted, Akuma then while still holding onto the chains would Quickly circle around the Massive golem wrapping the chains around it so that it couldn't move while at the same time entangling the other chains, if this was successful it should make the other males attack that much easier to land akuma would then jump out of the way watching the male do his thing Akuma would then begin to charge his left arm with a massive amount of chi causing lighting to appear around his arm, if Rather or not the other males combinations hit or missed akuma would charge in at the golem and attempt to punch it in the face with a hellish left handed haymaker, if the attack landed the golems head would be completely destroyed causing it to fall to the ground, thanks to the amount of chi and strength put into the punch not to mention the destroyer gloves((gloves that allow the user to lift and destroy anything with a single punch)) if the punch did land Akuma would then raise his right hand into the air before slamming it down into the golems now headless body breaking it into pieces just in case.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Thunrian : Taking the direct hit Keyth had been blasted back by 10 feet into three thick bamboo trees before he finally hit the ground. " TCH, YOU THINK YOUR HOT SH-.." When Keyth tried to move he'd feel his movment rendered heavily. ((http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=Rr3ex7qs0rA)) " Son of a..." He said pulling his body up only to drop back down. When he pulled his legs he'd find them moving at a slower rate. "....Heh.." Keyth said with a smirk on his face. " So you wanna play like that huh.." Keyth closed his eyes and the spirit of Zetsui appeared around his Yamisuki as three blades began to dance around his body. "..." Concentrating he focused all of his chi into the blades. In a since... he transfered his whole state of mind to the three floating blades around his body. Due to him fighting the old man, the voodoo warrior wouldnt take notice of Keyths actions. Using his Stealth Ki, he'd allow his blades disappear completely from sight. ( Stealth Energy) - Blending Chi allows the user the power to control there enviormenal chi.The user can make their coloration blend with the coloration of their background to avoid optical perception. Some users can affect their attire by means of "static camouflage". within moments of coming into contact with almost any surface, the chi will replicate both its pattern and texture. Thermal technology cannot read this chi technique. The temperature of the user will shift to the surface there hiding against to better blend with the surrounding environment and to evade thermal imaging completely. Multiple surfaces can be mimicked at the same time. When using Chi blending, one cannot sniff out chi, nor sense the users Chi signature to detect them. With this techinque, Keyth has the power to become invisible while in shadows. A sub-power of Darkness Manipulation. He's able to become undetectable as long as they are in darkness or shadow. People with Animal like sensory may be able to detect keyth if there smell, eye-sight etc was keen enough. Technology wont be able to find this technique what so ever due to chi being so highly incorporated. As he closed his eyes, his hair would shift into a bright blue for a moment before the color simply went to his eyes. Slowly but surely the blades would all postion themselves in certain areas. His nights of watching Michiko type up on the computer home would start to pay off. He knew exactly what he was aiming for. " My movement may be rendered... but not... my thoughts. Your... not...taking... my.. Michiko..." He said as one blade began to aim for his Larynx, while the other two had been aimed for his heart, and then the other for his lungs, creating a prymaid of sorts with there aimed trajectory. ((http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=AmeCQkiTMXE)) His other hand slowly pulled itself and as it did, a golden glow of flames would began to pour intensly at the voodoo'd man. " EAT.....THIS...ASS....HOLE!"The user can form armor around their body or a shape it from fire for protection and physical boost. With training, the user could shape the armor into new forms for weapons, transportation, even constructs of the element. But instead, Keyth had used said Pheonix ability to create a flaming dome around Michiko's prison so that if the voodoo'd warrior touched it. He'd be ignited heavily with the never ending flame that would burn anything that's not the pheonix into sheer dust. But this is if the voodoo man had dodged said attack with Keyths blades. Attempting to impale him with the three soaring blades through the back. Keyth flung the blades at the voodoo fighters back at the speed of 120mph, which impaled by the 'invisible' blades would kill him swiftly.

<p class="MsoNormal"> Diversity : (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=sAPOQjPx8vg) The golem was not the smartest creature, but it was most definitely the most durable. Its helmet turned towards Akuma with no expression or emotion and no visible eyes as the cleaver pushed down on Rebellion with the great and imposing threat to shatter the sword. If Rebellion took another blow from the massive cleaver, it would be bound to crack. At such a time as Akuma’s dodge away, allowing the cleaver to rise up and be prepared for another swing, the dual-hooked end of the free-floating whip would latch onto Akuma’s right wrist (rendering future haymaker null and void). The two hooks together dug into his wrist severed the ligaments while pushing into a very particular place. By luck the blades had hooked down and pushed between the radius and the lunate and navicular bones, while also having severed the ulna from the triquetrum bone. Because of this the hand bones were completely severed from the arm bones along with their corresponding ligaments. And when Akuma grabbed the whip and moved, the free-floating and self-animated whip would jerk back within its short amount of give and rip out of his wrist. The aftermath would be Akuma’s right hand hanging by a tiny piece of skin and muscle tissue, revealing the ulna and radius bones roughly exposed at the now torn open wrist. As Akuma continued to try and entangle the golem in the unattached whip, the whip would simply cave around Akuma and start to enclose around him. The dual hooked end not having attacked his wrist now was launching for the middle of his back along the lower lumbar spine, the first hook moving now for his right shoulder in an attack to pull the bone out of the socket. The golem would’ve been deceived by Densuke’s feint at the time, suddenly taken with a powerful knee to the midsection that caused the golem to pop its back out and tilt its upper body forward in a lesser version of ‘doubling over’. Then a second knee came crashing into its head. This dented the metal of its armoring some in a way that would’ve hurt its skull if it had one beneath the armor. And lastly a roundhouse kick sent the golem flying backwards. A loud quaking BOOOOOM radiated through the forest as the ground cratered around its massive form. The golem pushed upwards and once it came to a stand, had just enough time to sense Akuma racing towards it with the lightning fist. He pulled the cleaver forward and slammed its blunt, jagged end into the earth and held it by its wrapped handle. The blow ignited the blade with arcs of electricity though because of the massive weapon being shoved into the ground, the lightning was grounded and thus flowed into the earth. The blow pummeled the blade and made dust erupt from its base but the blade was so thick and tempered for such torture, that it didn’t break. Instead a small set of cracks appeared on its thinner sharp edges that made it more jagged like teeth and vicious to be met with skin. The cleaver was ripped upwards, Akuma’s haymaker nullified as the creature turned towards Densuke who just in time struck him with a burst of wind that sent him flying back once more. The golem- if knowing any mentality- would’ve been growing real tired of his shit by then. This time the golem stood from what was a pile of snapped and bowed bamboo trees, his body riddled with dents that did make the metal weaker, but his armor seemed to just lock back into place. It was a bit more obvious now that whatever the golem was, it was obviously not human. It wasn’t even living. It grabbed the cleaver and began to run- yes run. Like the juggernaut, with its speed it gained momentum that made its mass fly forward like a wrecking ball. It was headed straight for Densuke with the cleaver held horizontally in front of it while preparing to rip the little monkey fucker clean in half by the waist… ||| Zheren watched Laruq as he would begin to cackle once more, picking up one of his skulls. The man held one of these skulls towards Zheren but also towards the cage Michiko was in, now covered in phoenix fire. When the skull’s mouth opened it erupted with a more thick, smoky black chi that was a variant of Laruq’s concentrated and more thoughtfully distributed dark chi. The smoky, inky black chi flowed outwards in a massive blast that swallowed up Zheren and also the cage of Michiko in a massive black orb big enough to devour a whole house with ease. The rushing black seemed to ignite with ebon flames, and yet once the skull stopped producing the inky chi, it continued to grow and contain both Michiko’s cage and Zheren as well. Laruq laughed, turning now to glimpse at Keyth just as he felt something slide by one arm, clipping his shoulder. Another blade whirred by at the same second, having gusted by his dreads. And the third blade pierced into his chest completely. Thick coagulated dark blood dripped off of the invisible blade’s back sticking out of Laruq as he coughed and gasped. His hands reached up and he clutched the invisible sword as he shook his head as if distraught by what had happened. “Oh no, ya’… ya’ got me.” He peered up as he then smiled, pulling the blade out. “I ain’ spect ta’ get ganged up on, guess me tryin’s gone wait ta’ next time.” He pulled the blade out and dropped it to the ground, his other hand having dipped into his canteen to find a thick white paint that he pushed into the wound before he jumped into the black smoke and flames of his chi surrounding Zheren and Michiko… Inside Zheren had gathered his chi once more, and around him formed a clear orb of multiple chi frequencies that were being bitten and chewed at by Laruq’s powerful dark chi. “What are you doing fiend?!” Zheren called out from inside the storming black which sounded like standing by racing trains. “I takin’ what I tol’ em’ I’d take.” He appeared in the darkness right in front of Zheren and put his hand on the Shiko Kyosasha around Zheren, solving it and pushing through in time to attempt to punch Zhe. Zhe dodged to the side but once his Shiko Kyosasha had erupted, the black ichor of Laruq’s chi caved in on him and the darkness of his surroundings gobbled him up, capturing him in a slowing gruel of chi that sapped his kinetic energy continuously. It was a perfect opportunity as Laruq moved easily through his chi without feeling its negative effect to the flame-encoated orb around Michiko. His chi had coated the phoenix fire and was sheathing each flame, though it was indeed burning still. He reached into the dark flames dancing across the orb, and when he pushed his hand against the Shiko Kyosasha encompassing Michiko, the skin on his hand and lower arm began to burn away. He focused, closing his eyes as he solved the Shiko Kyosasha. One, then two… and finally the remaining third lock of the puzzle. It erupted gentle and the fire was dispersed with its discarded pieces. Outside of this massive orb that, if stepped into would’ve drained someone completely of their kinetic energy, one would see a lashing stream of Laruq’s dark chi coming over the frightened packhorse, eating it. And within the orb, Laruq mounted the packhorse with Michiko in his lap as the packhorse became empowered by Laruq’s dark and unruly nature. The orb finally burst, sending his dark chi outwards in pieces that threatened to slow anyone it touched. And while it burst, out raced the now bulky, powerful and darkly enhanced packhorse with Laruq and Michiko upon it. They raced away at a magnificent top speed, as Laruq peered down at the still sleeping Michiko. “Sleepin’ beauty, I found ya’. An’ now, ya’ all mine!” He sneered, as Michiko began to lightly flutter her lashes in stirring… <e>

<p class="MsoNormal"> Thunrian : ((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVpJkA4vaBQ))" MICHIKOOOOOO!!!!!!" A powerful erruption would explode outwards from Keyths body as he shouted at the top of his lungs. The wind began to pick up in response to his anger rising. His horns began to sharpen on the top of his head, and his ONigami tattoo's began to show, glowing with that demonic red like they did when he was backed into a corner. "...GET... BACK HERE!!!" He said as the ground split under his feet for a moment.His body had still been in its haulting slow. "....I WONT... I WONT LET YOU!!!!!" He said as his body exploded with a bright golden and red chi that caused a red Pheonix like bired to blast from his body, and a golden like lion to appear next to him as well, an embodyment of his powerful animal spirit raging with its angry intensity. The ground would start to shake as the effects of the slowing power emitted from the voodoo warrior would soon errupt around his body as Keyth growled at the top of his lungs. His golden eyes turning into a hellfire red as he blasted off towards the speedy packhorse. Soon enough he began to run like an animal as he dropped down to all fours. He blasted off into the air, his hands gripping onto a tree limb before he tucked his body three times around it before taking off into the air. He soared at an Inhuman speed when he finally soared down to the ground he'd be next to the Voodoo'd warrior and his steed. Keyth hit the ground with animal finess, never missing a beat as he took running along with the fast steed. But the slowing effects the voodoo man had let trail behind him would start to make there mark on Keyths form as he struggled to Keep up." TCH..." He'd suddenly feel his legs go numb as he tripped in mid air on his own feet. His eyes went wide as he began to panic only for his eyes to flash a bright blue in that one instant. ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIzxNWjuGp0)) Soon his hair did as well, and his thought process excellterated as he began to fall. '.... He's on that horse, musta threw some of that slowing stuff at me again... but i cant lose his trail. Think Keyth... think..' He said to himself as he began to fall. He wouldnt be able to keep up with it, not like this.... Then he remembered. The seal Dino had placed on his skin from the first time they met still had been there. A seal made from there agreement. He used his Yamisuki's essence that had been littered in little Dino's fur from pervous battles where he had fought around him. And during mid fall, Dino would appear under Keyths falling body. Dino's eyes lit up in shock, but Keyth used his right hand to touch his forehead. And the moment he did, Dino's eyes would flare a bright blue as well like Keyths had. He had transfered the needed information within seconds... miliseconds using his Calming Hadou Kussei, and with it Dino transformed, fully informed on the details Keyth had been showing off his high chi control once again. He slumpped down on DIno's back, his face embedded in fur. "...DOnt....lose....them...Dino!" Keyth said taking the full slowed down effects as he felt it taking a tow on his heart. Dino responded with a roar as Keyth lay partially limp on the large Felines back. Keyth used all of his strength to pull himself up On dino's back in a crotch postion as they'd approach the speeding feline. He was panting and he felt like he was drained and he couldnt explain it. As they road up next to the voodoo'd man Keyth would pull his Yamisuki back in a 90 degree like arc. " Going for the head Keyth?" Keyths eyes stayed focused on the voodoo mans head but remembered how he had simply tanked his first hit. "...Naw... When i give you the signal.... toss me off..." Keyth began to channel his Cleaver shot technique, excpet he had been using Dino's body to work as the momentum maker for the technique as there bodies began to chime in a bright gold the faster they ran. " Go....to...the side.... of it...DINO!" Keyth said giving his order, his hair still a flaming blue as they pulled to the right of it. "....Almost.... there..." Keyth said feeling his chi starting to wane due to the cleaver shot and Hadou kussei mixture. His body and DIno's both glowed a bright godly gold before Keyth shotued. " NOW!" And as he did, it'd sound like a super cannon had blasted off as Keyths body propelled at the speed of 300mph, the speed of a bullet as he pulled his blade across in a swipe. If connected, It'd cut the steeds legs right off and send Michiko in the air, with Keyths inhuman brain capacity would give percise orders to Dino to catch her within his mouth once they went airborune. As Keyths chi depleted out he'd smash into the ground in a sick tumble before he slowly pulled himself up to eye the airbourne voodoo warrior where Keyth panting would use one more technique of his own. That he knew once exherting it would drain him heavily. "...Hierro..." Keyth said with a broken voice before he pointed at the airborune voodoo man ( if it connected anyways.) Keyth had one eye closed, and his right eye open yet it was still blue but his hair had returned to the jet black. Holding on to the last bit of chi he had left. He'd fire a small beam of red hadou at the voodoo warrior sending his slowing technique right back at him. Though it was so small and Keyth modled his chi to a sharp point so once fired it'd go through the skin and into his aimed area...the heart. The small red beam moving at the speed of a bullet from keyths pointed index finger. Once and if it hit, the slowing effect the voodoo man would hit him right in the heart allowing his own heart rate to slow down to an even heavier level due to keyth warping the power with his own. (Another Unique technique within the Hierro is That the user can reverse any attack launched at them back at their opponent. This can range from long range attacks to melee attacks. Even gun fire if it is timed right. Sometimes the attack reversed can become stronger, faster, or both. ( Can only use reversal for 7 times.) ) When and if it hit, the voodoo man would be knocked out into a coma like sleep where they'd be able to capture him for later use if connected. But Keyths chi had been depleted at this time as he shakily made his way back up to his feet with his blade tiredly and lazily dragging on the ground as he made his way over to the more than likely, if connected, knocked out voodoo warrior. -E-

<p class="MsoNormal"> ChairmenRyoji : (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=JMJ6KfB_GLc ) Densuke would wince at what happened to the male (only if it legit happened) but the wind attack went through at least, sending the monster flying back a few feet. “Thanks for the back up guy! What’s your name again?!” Densuke would yell this outloud, while he took his hyper hybrid fighting stance yet again, spreading his legs a little wise further out his time. He’d watch the metal juggernuaght run, and gain momentum and speed with it’s clevear aimed directly to slice Densuke in half. “TIME FOR A MARTIAL ARTS LESSON!” Densuke would kick off of the ground with the ball of his right foot,  and run for the creature head on, however using his calculative brain he’d time the distance between him and the metal golem juuuust right, so that he’d leap at the very second the monster arrived 2 feet of his position. Completely dodging the intended mark, Densuke would attempt yet another flying knee, aimed right at the base of it’s headwear/head. This knee, like the others was made with the intent to disorientate and stun, timing the knee in mid attack to increase it’s success rate none the less. The knee would have enough snap back power from densuke’s x10 muscle mass to rear it’s head back, and if it even had a neck. Possibly snap or fracture the damned thing. This didn’t end here, as Densuke weather the knee went through or not, would then flip forward, attempting to grab the monster by the base of it’s chin. “HOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAH!!!” Densuke would ride the momentum, but temporarily use the Basuto  of the Hadou Kussei, or "Bursting" is a means of using the technique of transforming but only for short burst of time What happens in a usual Batsuo usage (Kaoken) insrtead of spanning it for long periods of time. For example in a situation of complete and total danger, one could use this burst into the transformation and quickly utilize the speed and escape the situation using blarring speed or increased sterngth,and then return to a normal state. To boot in Denskue’s particular Hadou Kussei he gains the ability to manipulate pressure to the tee. Within the Galliant Hadou Kussei, Densuke gains complete and utter control over the pressure feild sourrounding his own body. This allows him to manipulate the PSI in this feilds vincintiy without causing any harmful effects on his own body thanks to the qualities of the Kussei. Densuke through physical touch can even expand this arua around his allies or his opponents effecting them in his feild of pressure to. Densuke can either increase the pressure of matter i,e his body or an object, and increase it's weight dramtically to the point where he becomes signifigantly harder to life, even for a peak human. This can aslo apply to weighting his blows down and increasing the force of his punches and over all attacks. This can also work in reverse. Densuke can lighten the amount of pressure around himself, an ally, or an opponent. Usually he will lighten his own pressure allowing for swift combat movement and travel speed faster than that of his 300mph motor bike on foot. with pressure lightening he can also lighten the pressure of an opponents physical attack, rendering it much less painful than what the full effect of it would've been. this being said if the flipping grab was successful, Densuke would use this sudden surge, with his already incredible strength and flip the monster forward, increasing the monsters mass to that above an entire navy harbor ship. This would cuase the monster to sink head first into the ground, deep enough so that only it’s forearms, the one containing the cleaver included,  abdomen and legs were visible. If said attack was successful, Densuke wouldn’t waste a moment already being in an enhanced batsuo state, and attempt to thrust his right hand inside of the monster’s metallic abdomen. With densuke’s personal strength combined with the batsuo’s multiplyer, Densuke had the strength at this moment to bust a skyscraper in half if he so felt need. The moment his hand entered the beast (if It succeeded of course) Densuke would grasp his right shoulder with his left hand and yell out “Go to hell!!!” while using his most dangerous personal technique. There are three main steps in starting this technique, but due to the Shinto realms enhancements they can be ignored. It’s strength is such that a full connected hit would make getting hit by an eighteen wheeler going 75mph a walk in the park. The hit itself has combined Densuke’s less pressurized state of speed, with an already increased pressurized punch, with his muscle maxing out at 5 times its size( in this case 10x). The sheer force of the pressure collapsing in on itself, only to expand again is literally enough to crush the human body inside and out. The impact will literally crush a human’s bodily organs, skeletal system, and even possibly shrink the human in size from sheer compression, regardless of weather it hits the body as whole or an or an individual body part. There is no real way to make this move non lethal as the effects can and will completely cripple a person if they take the full fledge hit. The move is really an enhanced jab which is moving at an accelerated rate, however the Look Of The Effect effects added to the field are incredible. Not only is Densuke’s body in a heightened state of speed, and senses, but the once his motion stops to deliver the punch, even if properly dodged, the force still contracts and expands, meaning an explosion of pressurized air would expand from Densuke’s fist, in a high velocity impact, enough to sweep the opponent and Densuke himself off of their feet and cause viable damage to both parties. (That's only if the punched is dodged) The Tenkū Atsuryoku no Ken is Densuke’s strongest attack but if not done properly could cost him the fight and the mobility of his physical body in general. If he were not a Koikonjitto he would surely die from sheer usage of this very move. Gather the three different chi technique’s and focus them into one area via the arm, the leg, the elbow, the head, etc. (though again in the Shinto realm, these limitations are severely broken.) if this attack connected with the golem it would have enough force to shatter it’s metal body apart to pieces, scrap shattering miles away from the implosion of air pressure. As an added bonus densuke’s wind manipulation would only further the distance of the pieces and the force of the blow its self, forming an invisible dome of escaped air pressure spanning a miles distance. The only thing that would be intact would be the upper shoulders and the head which would be buried underground. If this coutner attack went through Densuke would merely take a few weary steps back, and let the other man finish the job or await for some form of retaliation. Densuke would let hs muscle mass return to normal after this attack as he’d exhale through his nose, and once 10 away, if not interfeared upon, he’d continue to stare to make sure it was gone. IF the initial facial grab was not followed through and/or countered in any sort of fashion, Densuke whilst in mid air, at the moment his facial grab would be counterd, would morh his body into air via Air Mimicry User is made up of or can transform their body completely into air, mist smoke or other gaseous or near-gaseous substance. Users transformed form can be either anatomically identical to their normal form, aside of being made of air, in which case it contains all to organs and is somewhat invulnerable to attacks. Alternately user can transform into homogenous matter, without any part of their form being more important than the other. If struck upon during his miss of the face grab, densuke’s body would morph, as he didn’t want to face being countered at this moment, and once his being became one with the air, his afterimage would begin to flash in and out of view, attempting to play on the monsters intelligence. Densuke would continue to circle the golem 8 feet out from it’s position, droping occasional afterimages of himself here and there whilst his body simply swirled around as a from of wind of sorts, waiting for the other man to assist, or for the monsters next indefinite move. (this would only take place if the golem countered the face grab attempt)-E-

<p class="MsoNormal"> Diversity : The golem would suddenly be taken by the knee as the cleaver missed. The monkey boy was fast! As the knee crashed into the metallic armored helm, the armor pieces would finally break away, shattering aside to reveal a massive ball of dark coppery wires animated by a thick and eerie gray smoke. As soon as it was revealed and he came to attack a second time, the smoke would form what looked like a vicious smoke skull around the wires and as its maw opened, just in time for Densuke’s fist to come forward, the wires would lash outwards and latch onto Densuke’s arm (lest he drew back). They would’ve worked to rapidly devour him into the suit of armor’s center through the gaping neck hole, but before it could, the armor suddenly… crumbled. The smoke dissipated quickly as if losing its form and the wires fell limp. Armor pieces clattered heavily against the ground, denting the earth and crushing the bamboo shoots and grass below it due to Densuke’s pressure abilities. The creature looked disbanded and harmless now as it lay there, but why had it been defeated?... ||| Laruq bit his bare heels into the horse as it took forward. Flying, racing, as the man cackled in sickly victory. He didn’t look back but when Dino grew closer, he felt the powerful opposing chi as he would knit his thick brows. Laruq glanced back with a click of his tongue as he saw the tired and weary looking Keyth atop the creature. It wasn’t long after he had time to look back to see Keyth doing something, and next thing he knew, Laruq was airborne. He grabbed Michiko roughly with little regard. He clawed at her bare navel and squeezed her body against his as his other hand latched onto the cheetah fur cloak as they went airborne and Dino moved quickly to take Michiko in his mouth. A twisted, maniacal smile crept quickly and infectiously across Laruq’s face just before Keyth would attack again, and before Keyth could he’d see a flash of the fur as it whirled in an airborne cocoon. And when it parted, nothing was in its center, and even it seemed to devour itself until it was nothing more than an illusion. Laruq was gone… and so was Michiko. The grounds were silent as Zheren stood far back from the scene of the pursuit, staring at Dino and Keyth, and also the screaming packhorse with its legs on the ground. Its cries drowned away though as it quickly bled to death and the horrifying, harrowing silence was only filled with the gentle melody of crickets and birds. “She is not too far now.” Zheren said as he breathed out a sigh. But as he did, crossing his arms and tilting his head down, Keyth would hear the message Michiko had to offer. The only symbol of hope that maybe she wasn’t hurt or going to be taken. Her voice echoed into Keyth’s mind with a promising, comforting tone. /Good morning baby… I’m coming home./
