Ark 24 Episode 25: The Price of Fame

Light, Camera, annnnddd Action!!
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkXrEUeULmc ) “That right baby now give me suga,” Talia Dupree cooed letting the shutters of her Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III digital camera flash several times in order to capture the sensual yet powerful visage of a shirtless Kyle wearing a pair of baggy wind breaker shirts with the words “fuck you” on the legs holding Caleb his bass guitar leaned up against the right side of a massive palm tree wearing a pair of baggy with Lala on bended knee her long pink hair moving in the hot African breeze as she wore a dark pink kini top branded with the same message on each parts that covered her buxom breasts, a choker about her neck, and pair of black shorts her keyboard guitar laying aimlessly in the sands near feet. Behind the pink haired bomb shell stood Sian who wore the same top as her friend, yet kissed with a hue of black, the shorts she was wearing making her self conscious just a bit as most if not all her ass cheeks were out in it as she and the group this including a digital copy of her brother Akira who was over the other side leading up against the tree holding his actually drum sticks moved into position to give Talia another shot. “Oh yeah work it….ooo and you guys wonder why I love you all so much, such fucking energy and sex appeal going on here.” The shutters snapping several more times once they all managed to get into position again. Several crew members moving about with their equipment in order to give Tal as Sian called her the right light for each and every shot. “Perfect now somebody bring our girl her guitar so we get some more shots of the band standing in the oasis pool and then we’ll take ten in order to get ready for the single shoots. Lala hun you’ll be up first if there aren’t any retakes we have to do.” The older woman of 39 with long brown hair and dark brown eyes would say gesturing to member of the crew to bring Sian, her instrument before walking off from the group in order to go to check with her team in to review all the shots she had taken to make sure that all of them were good. This of course giving the three 19 year olds a slight break from all of the hot lights that surrounded them as well as the added heat of the African sun which was at its peak in the sky indicating to Sian that it just a little bit after 12 in the afternoon. ‘No wonder I’m sweating’ she thought as she turns her attention towards the vast sea of endless face that were trekking about the beauty of the Terogowa Oasis trying to make a dream that started in a shot gun town known as Roanapur into a legacy that both she and her family could one day be proud of. Her moon blue orbs softly coming alight as she saw Zack’s face amongst the crowd of workers. Something that made her feel for some reason rather relieved as being around large sets like this tended to make her nervous at times. And she had no one but Damon to blame for that mostly due to his earlier antics back in Kasaihana. From what Sian understood, today was his first official day on the job as her personal bodyguard and so far things were looking good. There hadn’t been any serious complaints from any of the staff about him just yet…well minus the females of course. Sian surmised remembering what happened she introduced him to Melina’s nurse several days later after he was hired in the mansion. Poor Ishtar almost quit on her for the passes he made at her, the memory of it prompting her sigh as Tal returned with an okay for the label’s production team along with her assist at her side carrying her guitar Oblivion which takes from the man with ease hearing Talia ask, “Ready to give me the performance of your life Si love?” “Do I know how to play a fucking guitar, of course I’m ready Talia baby.” “Then get your sexy ass up there and show me what you can do.” Tal laughs watching the 19 year old rejoin her companions as they enter the springs of the oasis and get pretty wet and wild first before proceeding to the next half of the shoot. Which rested firmly on his back side. It was in the style of an American broad sword, very big, more than likely heavy, and very convincing that he knew how to hurt somebody with it. (http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/3/39027/3753218-helmut_zemo_%28earth-616%29_from_captain_america_vol_6_1.jpg ) he spoke. He had a thick African accent, but no one knew if he was black or white, just that he was a very dangerous man. “Wraps…give me a status report on how far we’ve come mining vibranium.” A man would’ve appeared from seemingly no where, ghosting his way into existence. He was a tall and muscular figure, wearing a way to hot to be wearing trench coat, brown in color, and his face was wrapped up completely. All that could be seen was his blue hues, and an area for his mouth to breathe, so one would’ve had to assume the bandages were breathable through the nose portion. (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/batman/images/7/76/Hush-The_Joke.png/revision/latest?cb=20120413190556 ) His voice was clearly American but he was even more of a mystery than the man in the purple. One couldn’t who or where he was form and rumor was he preferred to keep it that way. “Sir. No luck. The Yuns really did drain the land of the stuff. We’ve been on this binge for half a year now, and we’ve still no luck.” The purple man would lift his mask to sip his wine. “That is… I suppose. Nothing much we can do about the matter. How goes the weaponizing of our new and original metal however? The Reverbrium.” The bandaged man would take a few steps forward, his hands stuffed into his trench coat. “It’s producing well. The properties have been sitting well with buyers. We recently sold to a resource in Kasaihana city, organization called the “Doll House.” We didn’t ask what their usage was, but they paid a whole lot of money for a heap of the stuff.” The purple suited man would stand up, finishing off his glass, and placing it down on the table beside him. “Grand, quite grand. Come wraps. We’re going to leave the mine and take a trip to the armory, 30 miles out. I want to see what the boys over at capital are cooking up. While it’s not Adamantium, Carbonadium has a lovely little ability of stopping healing factors, and with the Reverbrium on our side, I’d love to see the weapons we can cook up. Come.” Wraps would’ve disappeared from view, once again vanishing into thin air as the purple man would walk with his hands behind his back, down the mines, heading off for a destination unknown. -e-

A loud rift would be heard echoing from the strings of Oblivion to the smooth wild C octave starting to stir up the on onlookers a bit as they all seemed to zero in on the sultry wet raven haired vixen who stood at the heart of the oasis' pond near a waterfall with the rest of the group to give Tal some of the hottest and sexiest pics the photographer had seen yet. As the combination of sweat and water glistening off their skins seemed to make sexual tension which was already high from what Sian was able to see from in regards to some of guys, escalate into a path of pure fury while Talk a continues to snap her camera on. "Holy shit you guys are on firrrreee! I love it give me more..." she'd beg letting the group have free range of their poses once the creative energies around them were loose. Lala opting to pull a kawaii beach girl move that had her pushing her hips out towards the rear so that her ass was out with both arms to side, her pink hair slightly wet from the falls behind her as it and her clothes wear starting to cling to her body in all the right places. "That’s it Lolli give me what you got!" Tal cheered watching her strike several more poses, as photographer immediately goes into single shot mode. Allowing a team of makeup artists, stylists, and personal staffers for Sian and Kyle to run onto the set to retouch their physical looks and remove their instruments from the set before Talk a turned her lens on Kyle who was already in sex appeal mode taking several risqué shots underneath the cameras lens, literally looking taking over the place in Akira's stead. Sian couldn't help but laugh at her adopted brother's antics to which Tal loved as she went on and on in her rants about how sexy he looked. Most of her crew who were observing the shoots behind the scenes actually agreeing with their boss as they all were either fanning themselves or close fainting. "Alright wooo that was amazing Kyle, Lala thank you both so much. I've already got Akira's shots ready and waiting from earlier. So now it's on you Si think you can beat your brother?" Talia said her assistant walking up to her in order for her to change out the film chip that was in her camera for a fresh new one. Sian would smile catching Zack's wink back her when she looked his way again as he moved through the crowd to stand closer in towards near the set. "I don't know Tal both Ky and La had some pretty hot shots," the pretty Asian would say her tone indicating that wasn't gonna be able to pull such a feat off. The whole time she was talking Sian was walking towards the rock formation in which the falls itself fell over Talk a snapping away at each and every shot she gives her, its surface being smooth to the touch as placed a hand against them while allowing herself to become saturated by the waters flow as she presses her amply body up against its cool surface, the beauty of the oasis' landscaping adding to the already intense view of the starlet. "But I think I got'em whipped this time." "Oooh smmmmookkinn' I think we just got the image for our black and white shot of day people!" Talia would declare taken several more pictures of Sian as she turns from having her cheek resting against the ledge to having her back towards it leaning forward just a bit her facial expression being emotionless as if to say she was confused or in deep thought. Each pose leaving most of crew in awe as Talia did her best to capture all that she got before the woman shout. "This is sheer brilliance! I can't wait for Daniel to see these he's going to eat you guys up." The shutter going off several more times before added, "Alright ppl that's a wrap! Great job out here today, and an exceptional thank you to xXxRebellionxXx. You're amazing guys." "Thank you Talia but we wouldn't be amazing if it weren't for your dedicated hard work too, so keep it up." Lala states already wrapped up in her robe sitting in her lounge chair next to Kyle when Sian emerged from the pool with flip flops and all. "I would also like point out that Akira who is apart of this band and also apart this great team is out there right now fighting for our lives against Sector Olympus, so we ask you all right here right now to support us as we at Savage Records support him and the Tetsus Family in not only this battle to save all of mankind but any more that will come in the wake of this victory." Said Terry who was also sitting in on the shoot. "Give'em hell kids, give them pure bloody HELL!" The British man would say looking in Sian's direction with a smile on his face as he knew more so than any how much Akira means to her and her mother right about now in the wake of Akuma's absence before looking up at the sky the entire team starting to cheer to the top of their lungs in offering their support to the young stars and their cause. A sound that almost made Si want to cry as felt the warmth of a large fluffy robe being placed on her shoulder by someone once she was fully out and from the water (this can Zack if you want it to be) causing her to look back in order to see who it is a soft, "Arigato." moving of her soft glossed lips as they person's face came into view.

Zack watched diligently as she went through the crowd, her walk enticing him to look on. At least as a bodyguard he could sneak peaks of her when no one else was looking, and that alone was saying an awful lot about his personality. He was at least loyal through and through, and while following her, he’d watch her head towards the oasis, and…well all Zack could remember was the sensational urge to masturbate, or at least, find some random broad, and put a paper bag over her face and leave the rest up to his imagination. He however held himself together, holding his hands in front of him, and letting them cup each other, watching her kill the poses like a professional as the camera men snapped photo after photo of her. “So this is the life style huh? Tch. I couldn’t get used to being taken pictures of that easily. Not exactly a preferred thing for me, in all honesty. “ Zack would recall a time when he was a child how camera shy he actually was. He also used to think photographs took peoples souls and entrapped them inside for the rest of eternity, but this of course was completely false, and he didn’t learn this fact until he was in the 10th grade. Zack would watch as the British man began to congratulate her and the rest of her crew, and he’d offer his own applause as well! Happy that his boss did so well in her shoot, upstaging the other girl’s in his opinion, though they were dazzling as well. Zack would’ve begun walking towards her form behind, but while doing so, he’d watch a guy walk by carrying robes. “Hm…” in one swift motion, zack would stick his foot out tripping the man, but managing to catch the robe before it hit the ground. “Thanks pal!” Zack would’ve fluffed the towel out just in case, so he himself could make sure there was no residue of dirt on it. He’d then come up from behind Sian, and place a robe over her body. Zack knew the number one rule: No touchy. Still can’t blame a guy for fantasizing. “You’re robe Milady.” Zack would drape it over her shoulders and take a few steps back folding his arms and giving her a big cheesy grin. ‘You killed it out there! Though I assume you do this every time. Sorry if I sound condescending, it’s just. Well you’ve probably heard every complement in the book so I guess I don’t want to sound so stale.” Zack would laugh a bit, before straitening up, and puffing his chest out, as if a drill instructor walked into the room. “What would you have me do next m’am!” Zack would salute her, before standing idol, waiting for an order. His nose caught whiff of some refreshments, which broke his concentration for only a second for him to glance around at just what those refreshments were. They’d been at this for a while, and thanks to the argument he’d had with his mom he didn’t even get to fuel up on any food like he’d have hoped he’d get to. ///// The man in a white and black outfit (this is what he looks like now http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/27306/fantomex_040311.jpg ) would’ve been in the back seat of a large caravan vehicle, navigating the wildlife part of the area they were in. on this long dirt road, He simply stared out of the window, thinking to himself. “The Yuns…greedy bastards the lot of them. Ever since I was a child raised here, things were fine. It wasn’t until I grew older I noticed the decay of our economic state because of those young tycoons, and their damned father and grand father.” The man in white closed his eyes. “I digress….their legacy will be squandered soon enough. Once I obtain the final piece of my puzzle…The Ex-Wife.” “We’re here sir.” The man in white was broken from his mono logging thoughts, and would’ve perked up to see they were arriving at what looked like a large warehouse combined with a garage of sorts. There were doors for loading eighteen wheelers, and large crates stacked upon themselves out side of that area. “Excellent.” They would pull up and the man in white would’ve emerged from the car, his trench coat flying in the wind. The white from his outfit, practically glowing in the sunlight. A man would’ve come up beside him, with clipboard in hand and began talking immediately. “Mr. Deadman sir?” “Yes.” “We’ve just finished the specifications you ordered on the last Decimator Tank vehicles. All systems are up to speck designs, all fully functional.” “How many of them are there.” “6 in total.” The two would’ve begun to walk inside of the where house, where a line of 6 all white tanks could be seen in a row. (http://www.betdaqtips.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/tank467.jpg ) “Do they include the features I’ve requested?” The man would nod, reading off of the clipboard. “Indeed they do! On board computer, linked to our private server of course. State of the art, light reflecting camouflage, stealth tires for complete silence, 3x the fire power of a standard tank missile, optional hover mode, traveling up to mach 2 in total speed, which includes the ground based speed mode, to reach speeds of up to 600mph on ground.” Deadman would walk up to one, and place his hand to it. “The metal my friend. What is the outer casing composed of. Let me hear those words ring off of your tongue. “ “Reverbrium.” A voice said it but not the one Deadman would’ve hoped to hear. No Deadman would’ve turned around to see a man dressed in tribal African gear, wearing something composed of the furs of animals. Deadly animals, perhaps a game hunter, but a man Kasaihana city had known as a once incarcerated villain. (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140305030159/marveldatabase/images/3/31/Sergei_Kravinoff_%28Earth-616%29_from_Marvel_War_of_Heroes_001.jpg ) “Ahhh…look what the cat dragged in.” “Funny remark Deadman. I just wanted to let you know the boats, filled with the metal are only 200 miles out from Kasaihana. The only shipment left is your tanks…boss.” “Good man, very good man. You do good work. Expect the money in your account by tomorrow. You’re next task is to see to it that these 5 tanks get to where they need to be. I will be taking one of them for a little test run.” “A test run? Your self?” “Indeed. I’m going to find out the location of the rest of the Yun’s precious Vibranium.” “Boss…you have heard the rumors of the Yuns correct?” “I have.” “Then you’ve also heard of the family they were…once merged into. The Tetsu’s.” “I have. Quite a lovely bunch of people, but that Akuma never sat well with me. God complex and whatnot, you must understand…there is only room for one god amongst men and that title belongs to me. “ Deadman would hop on the top of one tank, and using his watch to set the tank to autopilot, the tank began to hover, using repulser like propelling to stabilize it’s fight. “What if you don’t come back?!?!” the animal print man would yell. “Well that’s a stupid question.” Deadman would open his dress shirt underneath his jacket to reveal a scar where his heart used to be. “I’ve been dead for years, good man. I’ll always come back. Now get these babies to the city.” The tank would’ve begun to fly forward out of the warehouse, door, and Deadman would speak into his watch. ‘GPS. Search news feed sightings for xXxRebellionxXx or “Sian Tetsu.” I want all possible sightings, pictures, deals, whatever you can find. “ “Affirmative.” The computer voice replied, as Deadman placed his hands behind his back, awaiting his destination to arrive.

It was Zack much to Sian’s delight and displeasure who had draped her robe about her shoulders, the sound of his voice changing her mood slightly as the smile on her face lowered about a inch or so from her lips before motioning her right arm back as to place it inside of its sleeve followed by her left. Her ears listening to him prattle on and on about how she killed it out there in front of Talia and the others, and how he assumed to she did so every time before apologizing for making it seem like he was putting Kyle and Lala down for all of the hard work that they put into the shoot too while she walked along the makeshift path filled with wires from the lights and other various tech equipment that were littered alongside the trailers and such. “Well you’ve probably heard every complement in the book so I guess I don’t want to sound so stale.” Sian heard Zack go on to say. “You didn’t sound stale Zack.” Sian replied her head turning in his direction to speak. “…you were just being honest is all, in fact a lot more honest than most of the people we’re standing around with now. But you gotta remember I’m not the star here, so are my brother, Kimi (Lala), and Kyle. We’ve fought hard not to have the world just zero in on just one of us and we want to keep it that way too.” Her smile broaden again once she heard Zack laugh and stand at attention right in front of her, puffing out his chest and asking her what his next assignment was. “ALRIGHT PEOPLE WE GOT WHAT WE WANTED NOW LET’S EAT LUNCH AND HAUL ASS, TOMORROW WE HEAD HOME…WELL SOME US ANY WAY!” everyone would hear Terry say with the usage of the megaphone he held in his left hand chuckling. “Well you could start by getting out the way first, then go and find Tea my personal assistant so she can locate by baby Oblivion (her guitar) so we can head home. I’m in the mood for some authentic Thai tonight.” Sian explained, as she waits for Zack to either take off to find Tea or move outta the way. The smell of the post photo shoot food actually catching his attention first from what the 19 year old could tell being that she was hungry herself, photo shoots and interviews always seemed to take a lot out of her lately these days. “On second thought why don’t we eat first and you can tell me a bit more about yourself, plus how you mom took the news of you leaving with us for the states tomorrow.” She states waving down one of other body guards to do what she’d asked Zack to if he hadn’t already left her for the food or the task as she makes her way over with the rest of the staff in order to partake of the buffet that was prepared. Occasionally catching herself taking several glances at the man who'd so rudely and abruptly entered her world as she did so like she were back in high school and fawning over som........'Oh no, not that again Si we promised our self that we would learn what real love is, start with numero uno' Sian would scold herself harshly Suijin for once happy that she didn't have to do so herself at least for today as she was rather exhausted of the chore personally though she did grant the girl some room to acknowledge Zack being a rather handsome fellow as mortal men do go even from the oni goddess stand point.

A Sentimental Indulgence...Deadman arrives on the Scene
“…You were just being honest is all, in fact a lot more honest than most of the people we’re standing around with now. But you gotta remember I'm not the star here, so are my brother, Kimi (Lala), and Kyle. We’ve fought hard not to have the world just zero in on just one of us and we want to keep it that way too.” Zack took that to heart, as she was right. Her and the rest of the team worked very hard to make their hit singles come to life. Even if zack was partial to one member over, another he couldn’t discredit the fact that she was still only one piece of the puzzle. Still Zack would favor her, because let’s face it: everyone has a favorite member of the band, that’s just the world at large and it was no question who’s zack’s was. Zack after asking what exactly Sian wanted of him in the next few minutes, Zack couldn’t help but overhear the confirmation of his earlier lunch suspicion of lunch being done. “ALRIGHT PEOPLE WE GOT WHAT WE WANTED NOW LET’S EAT LUNCH AND HAUL ASS, TOMORROW WE HEAD HOME…WELL SOME US ANY WAY!” Zack’s eyes and sense were diverted again, but when Sian asked him to go find her assistant, he was willing and ready! Zack had nodded and poised his body, ready to go and look through the crowd to find the requested woman HOWEVER. He stopped dead ass when seemingly Sian changed her mind. “On second thought why don’t we eat first and you can tell me a bit more about yourself, plus how you mom took the news of you leaving with us for the states tomorrow.” “R-really? Sure! I’d love to join ya!” Zack would get excited and his posture became a little more relaxed. Though he knew he couldn’t just outright drop his guard, as you never know who’ll try something. He was paranoid, and it was his job to be, and at this moment it was about to seem like his suspicions were right! As they would’ve walked over towards the lunch and refreshment table, Zack would’ve turned his head to look at Sian and engage in more conversation, but his sharp eyes detected a presence coming words her! And unknown man he’d hadn’t recognized from the set or crew would’ve come up from Sian’s opposite side, and was about to reach and touch her shoulder! Zack didn’t know who he was and he was already on full blown alert mode, and before the guy’s hand even touched a hair on her head, zack would’ve slide behind her, and gripped the man’s arm! Pulling it forward, and tucking the man’s head underneath his right arm in a headlock fashion, before twisting his own body, and pivoting his hips in order to hip toss the man over his body and slam him back first on the ground with a loud ‘THUD’ https://31.media.tumblr.com/7ce927d3cad443c0e2578e42159cc46c/tumblr_mwd6y3wp1w1ruva68o5_400.gif ) Zack would stand back  up, his arms in a pseudo boxing stance, as he took a few steps back, in an MMA fashion, but he’d look at the man and then read his shirt. “C….crew member. Damn.” He’d stand idol, before offering to help the man up. “Aye uh. My bad. Didn’t recognize you. Hey. Guy?” but zack didn’t know that this man was completely far gone, over estimating his strength. Zack would breath through gritted teeth, and walk backwards beside Sian. “My bad….heh.” if they’d arrived over at the refreshments area, there was a pretty huge selection (I’ll let you specify xD) and a few dinning tables off to the side, foldable of course, they had to be mobile after all right? Zack would’ve started off grabbing two plates, and looking over his shoulder at Sian. ‘Just tell me what you want. I’ll fix it up real nice for you!” if she did or opted to fix her own plate, he’d be fine either way, all of this leading to zack eventually going to take his seat, as he would’ve thought to sit alone, but if she did sit with him it’d perk him up a bit. When he remembered her question about how his mom took the news, he’d look to the side for a moment. “Ah…damn.” He’d clear his throat. “she didn’t take to well to it at all. Not even kidding. I’m pretty sure she hates me right about now. That being said though…maybe some day she’ll understand that I’m growing up, and I wanna see what’s out there. There’s’ more to be explored, and I can do that in the city. Not this backwoods country area. Sure Africa’s a pretty place, but I need a change of venue…well. More so want one. I wish she could see it my way. I know the cities probably a living hell, but I at least want to say I gave it a try. Besides, after watching my recording of the GMAF’s I really wanna fight that Connor guy! Him and his brother are both pretty cool! We could be a trio y’know? Speaking of which…not to be in your business but. Well after pulling a stalker move and brushing up on all your interviews, which you look radiant in by the way, why did you two split? I was never up to speed, but I don’t think you’ve ever publically said. Plus I need to know what I shouldn’t do wrong to piss you off if my dream takes off of getting with you. Even if not.” Zack would shrug. “Couldn’t hurt to know, you know?” He’d fold his arms on the table and lean forward, with a comforting look. For all it was worth, he was actually curious to just sit and listen to her. Even if she didn’t want to tell he wouldn’t force her, but he was concerned. Big money couples like those usually split for some pretty harsh reasons.

"Really? Sure! I'd love to join ya!" She'd hear Zack say watching him act like an over excited kid for a bit before suddenly reaching out towards one of the crew members who'd wanted to ask her something, and flipping him over like his was nothing onto his back. The strength of the Ryoji family showing itself very dynamically in his fighting form and flow of movement. Her eyes giving Zack a subtle 'really now' look when it was only Jack on the set hands he'd pumbled the ground with rather and an actually enemy which made the 19 year old question whether she was right to give him the job to begin with as he would proceed to step back apologizing to the male before attempting to help him up. To which he'd hear Sian say, "Don't bother he's out cold guess its safe to say that, that peak human strength is also hereditary for men in your line too." Remembering vaguely the power that Connor put into his movements during their one night stand together. Zack reply of, "My bad.....heh." drawing her attention back to the shamoragus board of wings, Swedish meatballs, sandwich platters, cakes, chips, drinks, fruit trays and yes even vegan selections that were allotted the table as well several places for people to sit and enjoy their meals too. But it was so hot out Sian thought she might take her lunch inside of her trailer today as Zack moved to snatch up two plates then looking over to her to ask, "Just tell me what you want. I'll fix it up real nice for you!". His offer of course rather surprising her as she was rather independent in her nature so as in all things she moves closer towards the table in order decline that is until Suijin's voice called out to stop her. "Sian wait." The young woman let out a weary groan, "What now Suijin?" "Let him." The serpent replied taking a bit of interest in this matter for a moment as she'd long since knew that femininity wasn't Sian's strong suit. "Tell him what you want, allow yourself to be a lady for once let him prepare your food." Not knowing just what the Lady was trying to do and she herself was getting hungrier by the minute Sian decided to concede to Suijin's suggestion of letting Zack fix her plate replying back, "I'd like everything, with a turkey sandwich for the road and some pineapple, a sprite, and no vegan food please." Sian glancing back a bit at her oni who only nodded in approval if and when Zack went to it while telling her how things went with his mother. All of which was expected here from what she'd learned from her mother's talk with Densuke via FF Online when helping him gain there summons. Ambrosia Ryoji was one who was far and in between much like herself who'd left Kasaihana along with her mother to aid in the medical development here in Africa some years ago before she was even thought of. Either way apparently the female Ryoji had discovered long ago that Kasaihana was no place for a family to be and decided it best to stay where she was giving her brother and grandfather just the bare news needed in order to keep them away. It something far more than she had given the others back home that's for sure as Zack went on into detail why he really wanted to leave this place Sian wholly disagreeing with him to say the least. She loved Africa, its sights its sounds its people and rich culture so much that she wished she could stay. But alas there were also people waiting for her back home and whether or not she knew it her duty was to them; To keep them safe until Kin and the others returned home in victory over Zeus and the other Olympians. Zack getting into details on how he'd seen the previous GMAFs the mess that had started this all and wanted to fight his cousin. A comment that made Suijin retort, "He'd better be careful what he asks for he just might get it." To her charge Sian unfortunately agreeing with her there as Zack insisted that he, Connor and Leon would be the three amigo before shifting the focus on the conversation onto a more present and yet touchy topic of herself and Dai after openly complementing after binge watching every interview and article she'd done since becoming a celebrity while Sian followed him thru the line if he was still preparing their plates while several people looked on in shock that she wasn't doing so herself. Some of which were guys who'd made advances before but were rejected when the news in camp first surfaced regarding the divorce. Which again made her very uncomfortable as they muttered and trash talked amongst themselves in regards to "the new guy" getting a shot when they couldn't. To the extreme that the moment Sian moved to turn around to let them know she could hear their tart comment Suijin belted out, "Let the fools talk and believe what they will you stupid girl!" "But Suijin..." "It's only men gossiping like stupid hens over assumptions, let the talk. As long as we know the truth what more should we care about what they are saying." Said Suijin. "Now I believe young Zackary asked you a question." Shifting things back into a more present perspective for Sian. Both women having heard from him that he was interested in being the next guy to whom Sian would date. A statement that was considered very bold given the circumstances but needless to say Sian did admire Zack's tenacity. He wasn't afraid to say that he wanted something even if that something was still so far and in between to get as Sian wasn't ready to be loved again just yet. "The reason I haven't is because outside the label, my family, and a few smart fans no one even knew I was married. You see Daisuke and I valued our privacy and if we were go in to have a family we didn't want them to be in lime light so it was never told. As to why we separated well I realized that he and I belonged on separate paths." The hurt of making the discovery being very apparent in her voice as she spoke softly enough to where Zack would only hear, the love for the man she once called her husband almost reducing the proud female to tears as it hurt like a bitch to let go. But let's face it no one should have to beg for another's love like she had since her initial return from Africa those many years ago. Sian was just so upset that it took her so long and a wedding of false hopes to really make her see that the only person a Yun would ever love is themselves, and of the many things that the raven haired beauty knew about the family, this was a fact.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h22kx6BzQP4&index=30&list=PLYNBny7IRlVmdgUwWnVfnLLuQKrqtGzRU )Zack would’ve leaned his ear back to make sure he’d heard her order right, before he put everything on her plate she requested, when that moment was there. As they were sitting and he began to spit out his concerns and fast talk to her, honestly he didn’t expect her to answer back in the slightest. He honestly didn’t. but she did. She must have been warming up to him SOME kind of way. This made Zack a bit happy, even if it was a moment where he shouldn’t be all that happy to begin with. "The reason I haven't is because outside the label, my family, and a few smart fans no one even knew I was married. You see Daisuke and I valued our privacy and if we were go in to have a family we didn't want them to be in lime light so it was never told. As to why we separated well I realized that he and I belonged on separate paths." As she spoke Zack would nod intensively, just to let her know he was indeed hearing her out with ever word she had to say. Hearing that they wanted their privacy, well that seemed well married. Anyone, especially celebs want something to call their own, so why shouldn’t it be some kind of private life. Zack never minded his business being out there, in fact he was rather open about living with his mother, or being broke all the time. At least before his job. He dreamed of getting that huge pay check, and buying some new threads, and duds. Maybe some more useless things he could spend his money on just for the sheer fuckery of doing so. As she continued however, Zack became aware that there was a….eerie darkness about it all. A darkness about how she spoke the words of them belonging to separate paths. “Separate paths huh.” Zack stuffed a meatball in his mouth. “Sounds like grounds, for separate ways of viewing life. I’m not consoling you or anything, but I mean…some people just don’t see eye to eye. Some are comfortable in the water, and some are comfortable in the sky. Even with that being said, the sky and the sea are still connected by the very things around them, like air, and towers. Wow, that was a crappy metaphor, but I guess what I’m saying is, you’re alive. You’re not dead. You’re young, and you’ll love again eventually. Besides, between me and you.” Zack would’ve popped another meatball into his mouth. “his entrance at the GMAF’s was totally toolish. Dude could fight though. I see you…have a thing for guys with big…huge…” Zack would’ve summoned his sword to stick out of the ground behind him. “Swords. Huh? Huuuuuuuuuuuuh?” moving his eyebrows in a hilarious fashion in order to accompany his rather abrupt joke. (http://cdn0.dailydot.com/uploaded/images/original/2014/5/12/tumblr_lm9kt9PEVJ1qkwc9zo1_400.gif ) he’d then point to his eyebrows. “Took me 3 years to learn how to do that.” He’d laugh a bit, and finish off the rest of his plate, picking his tooth with a toothpick and smirking. “All that aside. Thanks again for hiring me. I really appreciate it.” Zack would smile and start to drink a sip of his root beer, before his sensitive ears began to pick up a noise coming in the distance. It sounded…like some kind of hovering? Zack put his drink down, and stood up looking to the left side in the distance. “Lady Sian, can you hear that? Well I don’t know if you can but…unless you’ve got any scheduled flights that were meant for today, that noise shouldn’t be one we hear! “ Zack would’ve lifted hit sword off of the ground and held it with two hands, in front of him. “I hope I know what I’m in for!” That’s when it would’ve come into full view! A giant white colored tank, with a man coated in white standing atop the hovering tank. It came towards the set, and began to come to a slow stop. The man in white’s cap was fluttering violently from the updraft the winds were creating. He’d extend his hands, speaking in a calm tone of voice. “Now, now all. Don’t be alarmed. I mean none of you any harm, unless provoked. I simply came here to talk to Mrs. Yun….or is it just Miss. Tetsu now a days.” The man in white would graciously bow towards Sian. Not having made a move of violence yet, one must wonder what he’d had up his sleeves. ‘If you would all please, leave the area, unless you are the band members. I have a nephew who’s probably going to want some autographs. There’s also the matter that I must speak to you on Lady Tetsu….” His voice got a tad deep. “Concerning the whereabouts of your…former husbands Vibranium stash that is.” The tank would lower itself to the ground, and sit there idol. The man would place his hands behind his back and continue talking. “Would you please be as so kind, as to reveal the whereabouts of the rest of this precious alloy to me? I’d really…rather not get upset, or upset you lady Tetsu.” Zack would’ve scooted in front of Sian just a bit. “Back off pal! You’re not getting any closer than what you are!..” Zack’s green eyes fixated on the man in white as he waited for Sian to answer his question.

Suijin too questioned Sian's openness about her and Daisuke's life together and split as well with a person she barely knew also as her charge took her plate in hand once it finished being prepared and started walking towards a nearby table. As it wasn't like Sian at all, her own brow starting to furrow a bit out of concern which was rare mind you for the girl. She more so than most had known just how much this was really hurting her inside but it couldn't be helped, their place was with citizens of Kasaihana while the generals were away at war. "Separate paths huh." Both women heard Zack say. "Sounds like grounds, for a separate ways of life. I'm consoling you or anything, but I mean...some people just don't see eye to eye. Some are comfortable in the sky. Even with that being said, the sky and the sea are still connected by the very things around them...." Sian listened baring some thought into his words and actually surprised that someone who could be such a bonehead at time could be so deeply profound in that way of words. It was a total blow away! She was speechless for once in her life taking a bite out of her sub as Zack spoke of Daisuke' s entrance to him and Connor's fight during the GMAFs and combat skills before hinting that she had a fetish for guys with rather large blades. This remark prompting a rather curt snort from her as she turns her head away from him. "Whatever pal. I didn't even know he had the blade until that fight." She retorted seriously regretting having opened to him the way she did as Zack made his own materialize from out of thin out explaining to her that it took him 3 years to even learn how to do it before thanking her again for hiring him. Sian taking a several more bites of what was on her plate before washing it down with her drink. "You're welcome, by the way Zack I'm flattered that you want to date me but...I have to be honest I...." His words would cut her off as she spoke asking if there were any flights or traffic due pass this area. "Yea I do....No not that am I aware of any way." Sian replied watching Zack leap into action with his blade in both hands once everyone caught sight of a massive white tank on the approach, a man standing on top of it dressed in very same color. As the tank would come about slowly in midair it would send hot dry desert winds blowing about place so much so that most who were eating would take the plates and run for cover to keep the debris out of it. Lucky for Sian she's just finished taking the last bite of hers before he showed up. The male on top of the craft spoke in calm demeanor, telling everyone not to be alarmed and that he wouldn't harm any of them unless provoked before indicating that he wanted to speak with Sian out of all people, addressing her first by her former surname before speaking her birth one. "Pick one I’m still the same person." Sian replied letting Zack do his job for the moment. Graciously giving the young guitarist a bow once his eyes found her in the crowd. Which Sian herself found rather odd since she'd never seen him a day in her life. He'd even go on to tell the others that it was okay to leave the area unless they were members of the band as his nephew was huge fan of theirs, before really getting to the point of his reason for being hear as Sian gave both Lala and Kyle a look to stay back. Her ears hearing him ask a question in regards to something that was considered by most here in the region as a local legend now a days not even she knew the whole story about it nor was she told either. "I'm sorry who ever you are but I don't know anything about it outside of the legends behind it. Where its hidden I wouldn't know." Her reply being 100% honest. She didn't. The tank lowering itself to the ground enabling the guy to jump off into the crowd before attempting to make his way towards her. Sian's senses really starting to pick up a wicked vibe from the dude as she motioned her right foot towards to side some as if to move into basic stance to execute her snake styled kung fu only have Zack jump up in front of her telling their visitor that he wouldn't proceed any further than where he was. "Zack be careful, this guy there's something off about him." Sian would say with a hint of caution in her voice.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SASedD5ujN8&list=PLYNBny7IRlVm1xHhYq5qHlNSsKkocXSF2&index=4 )"I'm sorry whoever you are but I don't know anything about it outside of the legends behind it. Where its hidden I wouldn't know." Deadman would’ve folded his arms across his chest and spoken. “Hmph. A part of me Sian is inclined to believe you about the whereabouts. However, I can’t leave it to chance that all of the equipment and gadgetry, your ex husband left behind would just suddenly up an vanish…going to waste from seemingly nowhere, doesn’t strike me as any kind of logical.” Deadman saw Sian’s eyes gaze over at two other individuals. Nothing went missed by his trained eyes, and he was very much so open about that about himself. “It is okay. I’ll persuade you the proper way one can persuade a person.” Deadman would extend his hand out towards Zack ,and as he did a bright grayish energy would’ve begun to emanate from his hand! “Come on!” Zack would hold the sword horizontal thinking he’d need to block the strike, but that’s when Deadman’s hand quickly shifted and shot out two incredibly fast blast, at the speed of sound itself, cracking the ground beneath them as they traveled towards the two! The two gray blast if they connected with Lala and Kyle would’ve engulfed their waist in a grayish aura, which looked and felt seemingly harmless. That is until Deadman raised his hand into the air, and levitated the two of them 30 feet above the ground, and held his hand in this position. “If you value the life of your friends…or not for that matter…you will tell me the whereabouts of everything you know concerning the Yuns. Do not…play coy with me.” Deadman would squeeze his hand just a tad, and Lala and Kyle would be able to feel a tightening around their waist as if a boa constrictor was squeezing the air out of their very bodies. “I could crush them like bugs. It’s kind of funny, have you ever seen a human head pop? I like to count the brain matter that comes after that. “ “LEAVE THEM ALONE!” Zack would’ve taken off at top speeds, his muscles pushing his body’s tempo to 75 mph as he darted for Deadman with his sword drawn back, and in a silver blur, he’d leap attempting to cleave dead man in half! “Uh uh uhhhh.” Deadman would flick his wrist, and a tank shell would’ve emerged aimed right for Zack’s stomach! “!!” Zack would’ve changed the position of his sword, and let the shell hit the blade dead on, sending him flipping backwards for a moment. “Each shell in this tank is made of Carbonadium. Nasty stuff really. A grade below Adamantium but with radioactive properties. It also slows the healing process of most metas.” Zack would’ve raised the sword above his head. “Step back Sian, it’s about to get messy!” “Did you forget about the hostages already? Are we doing this?” Deadman would look side to side. “This kid’s gotta be kidding me.” Zack would use the special ability of his blade, and the blade would’ve begun to glow bright red. (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/inuyasha/images/3/31/Red.png/revision/latest?cb=20090405002108 ) The blade's main talent is the inert ability to mimic other chi bases for short periods of time (twice per chi base and battle scenario). This doesn't mean Zack himself can use multiple chi bases, but the sword is capable of producing: Alteration (the base four elements fire, water, earth, and wind), Fortification, Physical, and mental. How each base affects the blade is listed below. Zack doesn't often do this in battle due to the fact that it is a very draining process to use chi bases he hasn't mastered or have full understanding of which is why it's so limited in it's usage. Zack CAN combine these bases, but it will still count for the 2 per base rule (each base last for 2 post). For example: using alteration and fortification together will mean he can only use those two specific bases once more before he is unable to do so. The attack will simply not initiate. Zack in this case would’ve imitated alteration, and coated it with his personal chi base, i.e. destruction, and shot a wave towards Lala and Kyle fast enough to destroy the grayish aura engulfed around their bodies, and prevent them from being crushed! “Haaaaaaaaaaa!” Zack would’ve screamed, as Deadman began to close his fist, about to kill Lala and Kyle, when Zack would’ve swung his sword as hard as he could backwards to make sure this happened! Deadman would nod his head. “Bravo.” A boom could be heard as another tank shell was fired, and Zack would’ve stuck his sword into the ground horizontally, letting the shell impact the sword and blow slam the fuck up! A fiery explosion ensued, but his sword would’ve protected him and Sian if she hadn’t gone to check on her friends already by now. Deadman would’ve set the tank on “auto-eliminate.” And begun to step off of the tank, coming towards Zack and Sian with his white gloves, coated in a thick gray aura, that didn’t read like chi, but not like any kind of technological energy. With the tank on autopilot, what would Sian do? Would she contribute to fend of the tank, by any means, or would she face Deadman in combat? Or get her friends to safety and leave Zack to fend for his own and do the job of a body guard? The story will shape itself, as she makes her choices.

A irritated groan pasted over her lips, Sian just couldn’t understand why all ‘bad guys’ always believed people were lying to them when they ask question it was as if being overly stupid just wasn’t enough for them these days. Either way she was telling the guy the truth she really didn’t know anything about the mythical metal that had supposedly made the Yuns rich as she watched him fold his arms over his chest and spoke. “Hmph. A part of me Sian is inclined to believe you about the whereabouts. However, I can’t leave it to chance that all of the equipment and gadgetry, your ex husband left behind would just suddenly up an vanish…going to waste from seemingly nowhere, doesn’t strike me as any kind of logical. It is okay. I’ll persuade you the proper way one can persuade a person.” “Actually it does when you really think about it. This metal was depleted from the Earth long before I was even born and was only known to two people one of which long past dead and the other one his son is also dead.” She replied. Now the last part Sian knew was a lie as she’d seen and spoken to Damian Yun herself from time to time though the battered down warrior was now a voice of sheer wisdom as he was getting up in age one could still see the wear and tear of war still clinging passionately on his face. “And attacking any of us here including my bass guitarist and keyboardist surely won’t guarantee that your nephew will get his autograph either. So why don’t you run on along please I’ve told you all I know.” The girl having taken note of male’s watchful eyes but her telling Lala and Kyle to stay back wasn’t to protect them or keep them outta harms way it was to tell them to be ready for anything, Sian slowly starting break the barriers of her first seal in order to let just a sample of what she has in mind for this bastard if he doesn’t back off starting to seep its way into the air from her pores before mentally beginning to push its force into the earth. Which both were as both made there way slowly but surely back towards the large jeep caravan that was about several feet or so from where Sian and Zack were standing. As a member of the infamous Hellfire Syndicate, Terry Savage was doing his part in making sure that all of the crew members, bodyguards as well as Talia’s team plus equipment were being moved away from what would soon be a fight zone While inside of the vehicle the Nakamura twins were heading to find two very special devices that no one in the Tetsu family never left home without as the gent would extend his hand out towards Zack a bright grayish energy emanating from it. “Come on!” Sian would hear Zack say motioning the blade in a horizontal manner believing that the intended attack was for him but when Dead man’s aim shifted the snake like beauty already knew just where his rapid flow of chi was heading without so much as even trying to turn her head once the two shot were fired out. Sian’s senses having become wider in range and also in power during those few months of marriage to the elite race of fighters she’d already known that his targets were to be her brother and sister, both having reached the jeep and begun to look around for the two chi-nullifying guns that were in the back of the vehicle but what he didn’t know is that she too had a sneak attack of her own she was conjuring up too. “Zack, cool it he’s trying to bait us into attacking him. No matter what stay your distance and let me handle this.” Her own chi burrowing like crazy deep into the baron soil up under their feet twisting and mangling with and against one another momentarily in order to take the shape of one of the deadliest dessert snakes on earth, before solidifying its shape into that of several king cobras made pure of venom like imbued with a dark aura that tunneled their onwards in the direction behind Deadman himself. As both gray blasts would have torn open the earth behind her before connected with the waist lines of both of her friends, then by raising his hand lift them up into the air some 30 or so odd feet into the air and proceeding to squeeze the air right out of their bodies. Thus causing Lala let out a wild scream while her brother only groaned in pain. “I could crush them like bugs. It’s kind of funny, have you ever seen a human head pop? I like to count the brain matter that comes after that.” ‘Typical villain, talking mad shit but don’t back it up’ she thought shaking her head just as the head of the beast she’d created got pass the rest of the craft Deadman was standing on Zack suddenly springing into action before Sian could even prepare to launch the creature at male. His speeds almost toppling those of his cousin’s when in the heat of battle and this was even without an oni! As Zack attempted to cut this guy down to size their opponent would give him one of those ‘Oh no you don't’ warnings most moms give their kids not to do anything stupid before giving his wrist a flick and tank shell emerge aimed right at the boy’s stomach. “ZACK WATCH OUT!” was the first thing that flew up and outta her mouth prompting not only those who were around her to wondering what the fuck but Suijin herself too as this blatant show of concern for the male was now becoming rather disturbing as if Zack heard her before his sword made connect with shell casing he’d probably be just as surprised as anyone else including Dead man as Sian had made no moves to save her friends just as of yet. But the creatures she’d create with the venomous aura she’d been pushing out from her body did the ground suddenly erupting from behind him appearing first as just pure energy to the naked eye, their heads moving at speeds that the human eye can’t catch with their fangs bared in attempt strike Deadman down once they were engaged into his spinal column upon Sian’s command to bite him and inject the very poison that it was made of into the man’s body. This of course would force the energy given it solidify into that of a more physical state in order to bite down on said individual before the next wave came. If the strike down was successful and the venom created snakes were indeed to bite down onto its target in a simultaneous manner, Deadman would be become so overwhelmed with the slow acting side effects of the venom as each bite allowed would administer only a small dosage on the lethal injection but would be quick in reaching all vital organs forcing them all to cease one by one if the biting were to continue until at last the heart or the brain were killed off. This effect would be so painful that he would beg for some onto to put him out of his misery rather than die a slow painful death at Sian’s leisure as she was the one who’d administered it. And if not she would watch in horror as the rest of the scene unfolds with Zack being blown back to kingdom come before hearing Deadman say, “Each shell in this tank is made of Carbonadium. Nasty stuff really. A grade below Adamantium but with radioactive properties. It also slows the healing process of most metas.” Then being told by Zack who’d managed to somehow get up after all of that to get back and outta the way which she would do before going off in the direction to help Lala and Kyle still not willing to sacrifice their lives for something she again didn’t even know about while letting Zack handle matters now or at least until she was able to get them loose. With her back turned to the fight behind her Sian would hear Zack tell her to “Step back Sian, it’s about to get messy!” which in truth wouldn’t be necessary as she were already several leagues away from him to begin with using the power she’d gathered in her attempted strike to try and negate the Deadman’s grasp on Lala and Kyle with no such luck. “Sian it’s no good unless you manage to break my second seal you won’t be able to do a thing to help Kimiko and Kyle.” The serpent tells her charge honestly. “Don't you think I know this…but I can’t just leave them here to die especially when its over something I really have no ideal about.” The teenager hissed back still fighting with both physical attacks and chi ones in order to break them free. Both who trying so hard not to scream out as the grip became even tighter. “Did you forget about the hostages already? Are we doing this?” Deadman would look side to side. “This kid’s gotta be kidding me.” This remark would make Sian turn her head just enough to see what was going on behind her and what she saw with her own eyes was rather interesting to say the least. Zack’s blade taking on a red glow and what followed next even she wasn’t so sure of as it all happened too quickly. All she did know was that Lala and Kyle were running out of time, as she saw Deadman’s hand about to close and with this she redirected her own power back into her own body in order to unleash the partial transformation of her own into her half human and half snake form, the anger the young onihoruda felt knowing no bounds by this point in the game. In the midst of the massive power up Sian wouldn’t have seen Zack fire an attack strong enough to free her friends from Deadman’s grasp adjusting his own wrist in order cancel him killing two people who she considered as her own blood out completely both of them falling from the air one behind the other and suddenly being caught by two rapidly moving blurs which by the feel of it were Terry and his brother, both of which we born with peak human speed as they races off with two halves of their prized money tree in arms back to safety before another shell from the tank was fired. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq5_kdcDv0k ) Zack once more motioning his sword in direction in order to counter it just as an explosion of another kind were to suddenly go off almost within a matter of seconds before the blade even made contact with the shell and it blew up. It was within this explosion that a tail of white scales hued with winter green, blue, and light yellow and about 15 feet or so long would attempt to coil itself about young Zackary’s form rather quickly in an attempt to use the scales point of high durability as a shield in order to try to protect them both from the blast as Sian’s arms ivory kissed slightly scaled arms come to wrap about the young warrior from behind once the shell went off. Her breasts pressing firmly into his back as she did so. “Zzzzzack are you alright?” he’d hear a familiar voice say like an angel’s sighing against his ear once she was sure that the smoke and debris had cleared her slanted amber orbs gazing down at him in great concern. The tail loosening itself from around the man in order for her to slither around so that she could face him completely revealing to him her oni like state as her rave hair was much longer in this form covering her bare breasts which like most of were of an ivory hue kissed by an array of scale on her left side but aside from this and of course the snake’s tale the rest was still human, dictating that Sian had not quite ascertained her oni’s full power as of yet as she turned her gaze back to their enemy. Suijin of course giving her pure unadulterated hell mentally for having revealed to all gathered just what the hell she really was to begin with. Something that Sian really didn’t give a damn about as the people around her needed her help and she would be damned if she abandoned them. If Zack were to ask any questions Sian would be quick shut him down. “Right now I don’t have the time to explain things, just know that this is who I am Zack and that there are more just like me back in Kasaihana who are doing the same as I do. Protecting those that they care about…” She’d glance back looking at him her amber serpent eyes gazing upon him softly nodding her head. Sian taking note out of her peripheral line of vision that Deadman had gone and set the tank on something before stepping off of it the thick gray aura starting recoat his hands again into their direction and by the feel of things it wasn’t anything good as snakes use the seismic waves around them to feel if there is any danger on the approach. “Zack can you handle the tank? If so I’ll take on this dumb ass son of bitch” she’d ask trying ascertain just what kind of energy or source of power it was that Deadman was using before using the muscles she now has in her tail move towards the right some, positioning her body in a manner that if he was stupid enough to come any closer to them that it would her doing the squeezing this time. The young onihorudas flexing her sharp venomous finger tips just a little as she watched this fool with a cold calculated gaze.

Deadman mean while would’ve been rather shocked that the silver haired boy had some kind of balls, enough to destroy his “energy” so to speak. “Hm...intriguing indeed. You’ve got guts bo-“ Deadman however would’ve been cut off in mid sentence as he felt something clamp down on his back! “Ngh!!” Deadman stumbled forward, feeling the effects of the poison quickly spreading through his veins! He made a face, as veins could be seen through his mask! His eyes winded he’d be holding his throat gasping and chocking for air! Even a tear rolled down his cheek! He let his head hit the ground before momentarily laying there…..then speaking, sitting his head up. “Was that good? Did I win an Oscar? A Grammy even? Come on that performance was grade A.” Deadman would stand up, and reach behind his back, touching the chi constructed snakes with his hand and gripping them tightly. That same dark grey aura surrounding his hand, as the snakes slowly began to literally…evaporate. “You see this stuff you use called chi…is really just composed of a molecular structure, not known to very many, but to some it’s known as mandarins. Once a brilliant mind such as myself, understands these mandarins, I can break them down into literally nothing, similar to what some call…”destruction chi.” Oh and by the by, I’m a P.S.E Miss Tetsu. I’ve been subjected to over 150 various types of poison, minor AND life threatening. Not to mention, when a new one comes along…I just adapt.” He’d shrug, and hold that position while talking. “I….am the ultimate life form. Allow me to demonstrate…the gap between us.” In his origin’s unknown to nearly all, Deadman was the product of the Maru Jeitais P.S.E. ( Perfect solider extraction ) project during it's first two years of creation when Keyome Tasanagi was barely out of his teen year's. The PSE has been one of the leading reason's as to why the Maru Jeitai has been on top of there game. He was one of the first experiments and he was a success. His body was created and made to be a lethal weapon on the battle field and the perfect solider, giving him full peak human attributes to the highest degree. Because of the PSE, He is a powerful threat to any enemy he may come across. He has amazing deductive and information processing ability of anything he's seen. If he see someone moving their hands to draw something he can create an image of what they are drawing in his head without being able to see the canvas. He also possesses a completely unpredictable nature, rendering him immune to users of Combat Perception, Body Language Analysis and Adoptive Muscle Memory. With time within a fight, He is able to instantly understand an opponent's method of thinking and fighting and anticipating their moves. Once he understand his enemies strategy, he's able to find their flaw and weakness and take them down with little effort. While some users of this method do not use it as part of their primary fighting style, it is helpful in emergencies against difficult opponents where ordinary methods will not work against them. One of the many other perks of this is his reactive adaptation. Users can either instantly develop powers or abilities to deal with threats or their bodies dynamically learn from experience. Depending on the user's control of the power or genetic structure, the reactive effects can be permanent or temporary. After a certain situation the user's skin may become tougher, they may display increased IQ after a difficult test or fortified emotions after a personal argument. User may be able to read different languages after moments of looking them up or be able to withstand a constant bombardment of radiation. Some users may develop Enhanced Speed after being shot, or grow Dermal Armor, and may have the opposite power of their opponent. Sian’s poison was indeed potent, but his body had quickly drawn immunity to it which would force her to change up her strategy. Deadman would dart towards Sian in one fell swoop, his feet not even touching the ground, as the grey aura shrouded his hands! He’d rear his hand back and attempt to chop her across her chest! The speed of his chop was that of an enhanced trail, faster than a bullet by far, from a magnum, and sharp! If this chop had connected, it would’ve left a 3 inch deep cut on her skin. This chop had the properties of Destruction “chi” and fortification “chi’, meaning not only would it leave a nasty cut there, but there’d be no blood as the tissue would be destroyed and singed to stop the bleeding. If this chop was dodged, which ever direction it may have been dodged in, or outright blocked, Deadman would merely smirk, and cause a giant grayish fist of “chi’ construct, about the size of a basket ball to emerge form his shoulder, and attempt to hit her slam in her pretty face! The fist coming at her with the force of a bazooka, if it connected, not only would it cause damage to the pretty women’s face, or whatever body part she blocked with via the kinetic impact behind just how much force was put into the punch. Her face would’ve been swollen if not busted and bruised in various areas, and her body would’ve been sent propelling backwards, by 20 feet, thus the attempt would happen weather she blocked or not, the knock back distance that is. HOWEVER if the knock back attempt was taken, Deadman would then thrust his palm forward, sending a blast of gray “chi” towards Sian, when she was about 30 feet out, in attempts to encircle her in the same bind of control, he’d placed on her band mates a while ago, and attempt to lift her into the air 50 feet, before slamming her back down onto the ground on her back, causing a spinal crack, and damaged shoulder blade muscles. Had she been caught in this telepathic hold, he’d continue slamming her up and down, worsening the injury each time. However, if that gray construct fist was dodged, Deadman would go straight into the attempt to shoot the psychic blast at her which would lead to the maneuver where he’d repeatedly slam here up and down, in attempt of course. Meanwhile, Zack would’ve be throwing slash after slash, while striating to the right over and over again, trying to deflect and slice each tank missile that came his way! He was able to cut the carbonadium shells but it took a massive force and great effort to do without using destruction chi…Zack would’ve continued circling the massive tank and thinking to himself. “How the hell am I supposed to get in and cut this thing! There’s just no way! I have to close the distance….”

A "Superiority" Complex
In her transformed state Sian would watch Deadman’s dramatics once he was bit by the snakes her energy had forged, the amber spheres in her head rolling as he went through whole “you got me, I’m dying” scene made famous in the old earlier 20th century black and white cowboy movies. He even went as so far as to grab his throat before falling onto the ground laying there for a moment and then getting up stating, “Was that good? Did I win an Oscar? A Grammy even? Come on that performance was grade A.” to which the young onihoruda would reply, “Sorry I’ve seen better acting from my baby sister, and she’s only 5 months old.” Watching Deadman stand up to grip the creatures she had created with her chi with his hands, tightly and forcing them to evaporate by into the air in which they came the temperature around them slowly starting to alter from a swelter sauna of an African summer to a cool fall day in Georgia around the surrounding area as Sian listened to Deadman yap on about, “You see this stuff you use called chi…is really just composed of a molecular structure, not known to very many, but to some it’s known as mandarins. Once a brilliant mind such as myself, understands these mandarins, I can break them down into literally nothing, similar to what some call…”destruction chi.” Oh and by the by, I’m a P.S.E Miss Tetsu. I’ve been subjected to over 150 various types of poison, minor AND life threatening. Not to mention, when a new one comes along…I just adapt.” He’d shrug, and hold that position while talking. “I….am the ultimate life form. Allow me to demonstrate…the gap between us.” Before bursting into a state of hysterical laughter in front of the man. “The only gap between us sir is that I was trained by a God (Akuma)….two of world’s deadliest Super Soldiers (Damian and Duke) anything past that is utter bullshit to me…but please do give it all you got I need a good laugh today.” The a quick gust of hot desert air suddenly turning fridged once it makes its way past her at the very same time Deadman would dart towards her still in her half oni and human state, Sian having taken noticed that his feet didn’t touch the ground and that his hands were still coated in that strange looking aura. “Here he comes…” Suijin mentally tells her Sian staying perfectly still just long enough move her upper body towards the right allowing his drawn back hand to strike the white, yellow and blue colored scales that lined this portion of her body, their dermal layers of the scales being so thick that it would be able to take the damage of a 3 inch cut into her skin without her even flinching once in pain despite the damage that the blow might have caused. The young onihoruda using this dodge to throw a bit of her enhanced strength an ability that lets her have incredible ability to defy weight limitations of the member of her race, but not completely break them into the length of the massive tail she was now sporting in attempt swat down this annoying person completely from the sky while smashing every bone starting at base of his neck then proceeding to cause a ripple effect so powerful that magnifies itself from that point on down his form upon impact as if he were a fly at the other end of a fly swatter before crushing him instantly with the weight from rest of her massive size body as it would collapse directly on top of him. “Such an annoying little bastard,” She says with smug look on her face, if the hit was successful. “Aren’t ya?” The density in the air still getting colder around them almost to the equivalent of the South Pole’s actual winter a method that would be needed by her very soon if indeed her attempt smash every bone in his body was unsuccessful and Deadman’s ‘chi’ construct in the shape of a fist would still emerge from his shoulder with the intent on hitting her in the face with it. Now as most know Sian truly hates having the gift of “immortal beauty” so getting smashed in the kisser would obviously be a blessing to her as she didn’t purely give a damn about her looks, but she of course had other plans hastily dropping the upper most part of body downward like elevator shaft in order to avoid being struck by the intended hit as this was the most practical solution in order to evade being hit AND knocked backwards altogether all at the same time the young onihoruda still giving Deadman the most sadistic smirk he’d probably ever seen before in his life. As unbeknownst to him the reason for the drastic change in temperatures had already begun to take shape behind him, as a monolithic spear of black ice had be forge deep into the earth due to Sian’s ability of cryokinesis and the aid of the water from the nearby oasis she was able to create this ice construct with just a mere whim of her imagination in the midst of Deadman’s attacks. Ducking low then lunging herself forwards at an inhumanly known speeds towards him to avoid any kick attacks he might have for her, her hands moving forward in the mist of the blur to try and grasp this annoying little instinct by the ankles shattering all bones that lay there within if her grip connected whilst in midst of mid-air drop the enhanced strength she has when in this state making it seemingly impossibly for any target she has to escape once she has a grip on them as she attempts to plow him down back first into spear that she’d made continuing to drag his body down towards the gigantic structure trying to impale his body onto its sharp point before tearing a hole through his entire being the size of an old WWII missile as she doesn’t release him not even for a moment nor does her speed decelerate as she does this no matter how much blood spatters onto her person. “You know its funny you should mention your power being like ‘destruction chi’ cause if I do remember that is the most draining of the five known variants of energy, so this just means you have a very high level of power… a human battery if you will….which will eventually burn out on you in the end or die before then which was it I forget.” Her parents’ sadomasochist ways starting show themselves in full form here with the amount of butchering she attempts on this guy. If some how Deadman were to avoid begin caught in her grasp Sian would forced to face off with the very same power he’d used to trap Kyle and Lala to which Suijin would find her own hand being forced into play once the young teenager would find herself trapped then hoisted up into the air from 50 or so odd feet then slammed down into the earth sustaining several multiple injuries. Sian choosing to suffer the blow in silence as she didn’t want any of the others especially Zack to come running to her aid, she was utterly stubborn to say the very least of this Suijin had to admit racing as fast as she could through the mental gaps of consciousness her charge was being given between blows in order to reach the part of her mind needed in order to execute what needed to be done. “Sian…Sian if you can hear me, I need you give me control,” Extending her astral like hand out towards the one of Sian that would represent the mental aspect of the young Tetsu’s actual physical form. “Say what?!?! Are mad, what makes you think I’d let you have control over MY body demon!?” “I think a better question would be what do you think will happen if you don’t you stupid girl?” Suijin hissed back at her as both were bracing for another impact once lifted upwards again. Sian would to try and rationalize this ideal in her pain ridden head, though this move would be a risky one and there could be a chance that Suijin would run off with her body once it was over and done with forever locking her in a state of suspended consciousness to do whatever with whom ever the young teen was left with very little choices here. It was either kill or be killed here. So she did the only thing she could her mental image taking the oni goddess hand with her own muttering the words, “Fine have at this creep, but the moment its over and done with I want my body back. Got it!” Suijin would only smirk latching onto the girl’s hand sealing the deal before merging their two individual beings into one complete host that would not only give her complete control over Sian’s yuki-onna powers (current ones only) but endow the serpentine goddess the necessary power the right unleash the full powers that make up her own snake physiology out through her actual physical form. “Now the games begin.” Suijin states the mantel that bound away her full powers suddenly give way as the outside world begins to tremble and quake at the rebirth of one its guardians (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLI3fSgccZU I hate using this song but it fits -.- xD! ) while Sian seemingly lay still appearing to take the bunt of the blows while this was all taking place. Quite possibly giving Deadman, Zack and others that were apart of bands label that she was already dead, which couldn’t be any further from the truth. Once the merging of the two entities are completely the slanted iris’ of the half changed Sian would begin to glow a haunting eerie light as the lower half of her would begin to thrash about wildly and rapidly in four of the cardinal directions with more control and skill of its owner like a whip in the hands of slave master with aid of the enhanced agility and flexibility given her in the hopes knocking the living shit out of Deadman. So no matter where he would attempt to go to dodge it or how fast he moved, he would still find himself either being slapped back several 100 ft or having several more bones impacted through his heart, lungs, and other vital organs before finally taking off at inhuman speeds in the opposing direction with his grip still intact around her knowing full well that will all telepathic attacks of this the user MUST always maintain a level mental bond, attachment, and/or radius with the person they are holding thus if Deadman decided to I don’t know hang on he too would be dragged along through the desert sands like a rider would an animal they’ve the lassoed onto. Sian, or rather now Suijin’s attempting to either shatter his mind completely through psychological strain she was putting on it or simple bash his head in on every trailer, chair, and vanity she could slither her way pass, which ever one comes first thus freeing herself from his hold. If this doesn’t work the upper most part of Sian’s changed form starting to transmogrify itself slowly but surely in the eyes those around her as the scales that so covered only half of the upper portion of her body would begin to migrate slowly up her form in order to cover it fully, her eyes shifting into a pure red aura once the muscle and bones began to contort themselves into another shape and form to that of a serpent’s head. “You dare to claim superiority over me you test tube trash,” Suijin and Sian both would hiss together coherently in this state in unison at Deadman “Try to get your ass outta this!” Taking a head first dive into the sands banks beneath their feet using his grasp against him by borrowing deep into the ground all in the hopes that she would be able to escape the grip he holds over her or drag him down into the tunnels she was making in order suffocate him to death as snakes didn’t need to breath through their noses like humans do they use their tongues. Hence the thinly make gravel (aka sand) would begin to enter his airways if and when he was plunged still breathing after all of that into the earth. The anger of the snake goddess now apparent as ever as she didn’t need her upper body to maneuver underground in the cool tempered earth so no matter how hard he’d try to tighten his grip around the massively sized snake (http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/101/2/f/the_snake_by_highdarktemplar-d4gl9a1.jpg ) she’d only drag him that much deeper into the desert soil still just for the pure sport in ever direction but up. But if indeed he did let her go or was unable to maintain his grasp on her due to the limitation he might possibly have on his telepathic skills with her being so deep within the earth as it was never stated how far his reach could or would span in order to control her AND able to return to the surface. Suijin would use this time to enact her seismic sense in order to feel the vibrations in the earth to locate Zack and Terrence Savage all in the hopes that both men would have even gotten everyone to safety away from that tank and its shells or dismantled that thing completely.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0SgcLdbKY0&index=22&list=PLYNBny7IRlVlQVpe8xfJPnsRI2lEbpVyi ) Deadman watched as his attack against her skin, was less effective than intended, but none the less something he’ encountered before. “She must be of Oni origin. Either that, or id’ figure by the giant belligerent tail she has…” Deadman would watch, his quick eyes and brain processing everything around him as he could see her tail rise rather high above his area! Deadman would’ve quickly folded his arms over his head, in an X like formation, and as the tail came down, while it did connect, only the ground beneath Deadman’s feet was solely effected! Besides some rustling wind against his clothing, Deadman’s body was seemingly un phased, namely because it was. Deadman being the sheer creation of the PSE, one of the first mind you, his body is designed with a failsafe. If he ever were placed into a near death situation, then he will shift into what the PSE Maru Jeitai science's team's call “Heat Mode." Deadman was made from the DNA samples of only 2 men. Drankin, his strand of DNA is what the PSE go into its level of perfection any way’s. Drankin's cells, offered a building physical spike, with strength unfathomable, and beyond imagination, with a perfect muscular structure and perfect control over said muscles. His muscles protected the bones, thought there was a bit of impact there, it left but a tingle on Deadman’s built body. The area where his lips would be under the mask, curled into a smile. The shoulder aura construct attempt was still a go, but it would seem she’d have a counter for that as well, doing the fist, and the wave as a whole! “Ahhh 10 points to you darling.” Deadman would’ve commented. When she did go for the ankle grab however, she’d find crushing his ankles only but a dream. When he’d blocked the impact originally his body adapted to that specific level of strength she displayed, and thus increased the durability of his body as whole in order to deal with his opponents sudden increase in that particular stat. Deadman’s stare was dead set on her own. While yes her smirk was a cold and sinister one, Deadman’s stare was only but one thing. Focused. All he’d seen was her, her form, her personality traits, and her tactics were beginning to show themselves whole heartedly. Deadman allowed him self to be lifted into the air, however, he’d seen every possibility she could muster all within his mind. The user is able to perceive all cause and effect relations. They can notably deduce the path leading to any effect, allowing him to plan, analyze, and take action with absolute efficiency. In a fighting situation, the user can perfectly adapt to all factors before they even appear, achieving maximum efficiency in offense, defense, and strategy, ensuring optimal success as long as there is the slightest chance. As a strategist, the user can always achieve optimal results (depending on the means at their disposal), perfectly anticipating all variables and their opponents' every move. These calculations can lead to extremely complicated planning in the long run, which always end up being successful. Applying all three of these principles, when dead man was air borne, he’d shoot his arms straight back forming two 6 foot hands of solid grey colored chi to slam on the ground, and stop his descent any further only to look back and see the spire of ice that his body would’ve been impaled on. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbWOVfY-rxU&list=PLYNBny7IRlVlQVpe8xfJPnsRI2lEbpVyi&index=26 )”Just as I thought. You’re not a very solid combatant are you.” Deadman would use his increased strength to literally rip his feet from Sian’s grasp, reaching near double what enhanced strength is capable of in this attempt, and flip himself back wards, but 2 more simultaneous actions came with this! He’d attempt to grasp Sian’s upper half, arms included, with the right chi hand moving at just under the speed of sound reaching around her with a grip so tight, it reached the psi of a car compressor in a junk yard, attempting to not only holder her slithery form in place, but push her arms into her rib cage. He was however aware that her scales were incredibly resistant, but for that, if the grip was successful he’d just begin applying thick amounts of destruction like chi against her skin, periodically melting, and molecularly destroying every scale his aura could reach to on her upper half, pressing down harder on her by the second! The other simultaneous action, is that he’d use his left chi hand to literally pull the icy spire and the ground around it up from it’s roots, regardless of how long it was (wasn’t stated ) and attempting to stab the pillar of ice into her lower back right where her tail started holding her in place, like jamming a needle through a worm connected to the earth! Using his own chi to hover over the point of the ice in case she couldn’t be effected by her own energy, so penetration would still be possible. If this was successful due to the high speed advantage and outrageous grip, Deadman would let the ice spire stay in place with one chi construct hand, so if she attempted to absorb the ice, she would absorb some of his chi inside of her, which would be much to her dismay a bad idea, while the other one would move at that same speed, and grip the rest of her snake like tail, in the same pressure he’d had her upper body by, completely immobilizing her! Each bone in her enhanced body would start to crumble and shift as Deadman was actually growing stronger by the second…With Tetsu's dna, the Surge was made from small traces of his blood that allowed them to construct an artificial chi. The surge is only within the PSE soldiers and only for the PSE soldier’s. It work's like chi would but the energy source comes from Deadman's emotional peak & combat high and almost work's like adrenaline. “You were predictable the moment you began to lower the temperature in the area. Keyed me in..” he’d fold his arms, his grip still increasing, by this point causing some creeks and cracks in Sian’s body, the destruction chi by this point reducing her scales, to skin, singed skin.” You use ice. I know what you’re thinking. Ah duh right? Well that’s not all. Allow me to tell you what gave you away. “ He’d clear his throat and imitate her voice almost perfectly. “The only gap between us sir is that I was trained by a God ….two of world’s deadliest Super Soldiers… anything past that is utter bullshit to me…but please do give it all you got I need a good laugh today.” Deadman would laugh a bit. “Your confidence is amusing, but at best childish. You lack any real confidence in your own ability and hide behind what you’ve done rather than what you can do. I could say I’m the damned pope, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to nessicarily shit your pants when I say I’ll have my god smite you now does it?” Deadman would raise his voice and begin to increase his grip on her body, starting to causing a stretch in the skin, and the hissing noise of his chi eating away at her becoming ever more present. “How do the American’s say it? HUMBLE YOUR SELF.” Deadman would un fold his arms, and speak, his fist clenching. “What is a god? Tell me? What is he to one who doesn’t believe in them? a force for falsified hope! Tell me were you referring to your loathsome father?!? Oooh YES Sian! I know all about you!” his eyes widened almost manically. “IT WAS A COLLEAUGE OF MINE WHO DID YOUR PARENT’S IN! TIS WHY I NOW QUESTION WHAT A GOD IS, TO A MORTAL MAN WITH A TOP HAT AND A FUCKING! GUN! Tell me! Am I A GOD because I can defeat the seed of one? Where is he? Where is you’re mother, OH SMITE ME LORD AKUMA, STRIKE ME DOWN!’ “HEY ASSHOLE, YOU’RE VOICE IS SICKENING ME!!” Deadman would’ve furrowed his brow, only to turn around, and see Zack, a well beat up one, with tattered clothing and burn marks on his body, swing his sword around, while squatting, and holding the sword outwards. The blade pulsating a bit, as he did. (http://i53.tinypic.com/v7txqr.gif ) “I thought the tank…” Deadman would look to see the tank impaled by the barrel of it’s cannon, and leaking water, and occasionally buzzing electricity. “…you flooded it. Hm. Impressive. I’ll have to fix that in the re-designing. “ “LET! HER! GO!” Zack would’ve taken a triumphant leap in the air! A wide eyed look to his eye as his sword glowed red, about to come down on deadman with everything he had! “Pity.” He uttered, as he’d lift his finger, and exted a grey beam of chi right through zack’s abdomen. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeHnbW0I__M ) Zack stopped dead in his tracks, as his mouth began to leak a bit of red. “I hit an artery. I know the human body like the back of my hand. What has me going is that you, a weakling, was hired by someone clearly stronger than you to protect her. You both need to re-evaluate your life choices BUT. Who am I to judge.” Deadman would open his palm, and 20 grey spikes would emerge from zack’s upper half! The end of each spike coated in zack’s blood, as organs, and muscle tissue alike were pierced in an instant! Zack’s eyes were whitened, out as he didn’t even make a sound when the spikes penetrated his body. He dropped his sword, which eventually disappeared into nothing and his blood would’ve dripped down making a very large puddle underneath where deadman had him pieced. “do you see Lady sian.” Deadman would’ve spoke, impersonating zack’s voice. “There are no gods. Only men with power. Hahahahaha!” Deadman would snap his fingers, and a large pulse wave like explosion would emit from deadman’s body, spanning 50 feet! Thus blasting Sian’s body and Zack’s body away from him by a total of 75 feet! At this time sian’s scales would’ve been damaged severely and so would her skin if it was effected, and she’d have the feeling of having been hugged Hercules for an hour, as her muscles and bones would’ve taken the full blunt of his attack. Zack on the other hand wasn’t exactly any sort of better off. In fact, after his body was finished tumbling feet away, if one tried to hear his heartbeat, they’d hear nothing. Nothing at all. Zack’s heart had completely stopped beating for the time being and without any sort of medical attention, it might not get any better for him as his state of death might be permanent. Deadman would then brush his shoulders off, before making a swirl of grey energy around his legs, allowing him to levitate. His arms were out, as he lifted himself into the air. “ I believe you about not knowing the where about. I will find traces of it on my own…..my tank is totaled….well….k. bye.” Deadman would take off through the sky, a sonic boom erupting around his being, as the wind ripped over what used to be a photoshoot. “I must get to Kasaihana as soon as possible…going to have to make some adjustments…and do some research on snakes.” Deadman would stretch his arms in front of him the waves rippling beneath his body as he flew across the seas, heading for his destination. If Zack didn’t get help soon, he was dead for sure. -e-

Sian would have listened on to Deadman’s prattle before she and Suijin unified, the abilities he has being some what like those of Deucalion Grey and Damian Yun, completely amplified off the charts for no fucking reason at all. No matter what she seemed to do nothing would phase this guy, and it became even more so clearer to her once her attempt break his ankles with her hands was completely negated, his body completely becoming “immune” to the amount of strength she was using to do so. Deadman’s eyes coming to level with her own but he should have known better as the eyes that greeted him were those of another’ and were truthfully not her own so what was perceived through them might have been deceptions of a devious snake. In the hopes of gain her gaining what was needed to break loose her full powers to begin with. Deadman shooting two 6 hands of the solid grey chi onto the ground thus stopping the young onihoruda from trying to impale him on a the ice spike that had been so carefully prepared for his hide. “”Just as I thought. You’re not a very solid combatant are you.” “No are you, you’re just a bunch of pretty words.” Watching him flip himself backwards away from her, her own peak combatant skills starting to show themselves just a little here once Deadman attempts to grab her upper half included her arms with his chi bound hand in tow. By this point the merger of the two entities into one would have taken place and Sian herself was no longer in control but Suijin. The oni laughing rather defiantly as he was trying to put the squeeze on her ,arms into her ribs and all but was failing rather miserably too once her prehensile tongue would escape her lips allowing her breathe in more so in a fashion that SHE was accustom too over Sian, and due to her having enhanced lung capacity. Meaning that no matter how hard tightened his grip that she can survive extended periods without breathing, though it doesn't mean she doesn't need air, but she can survive for longer periods without it. Sooner or later she will need to breathe and since snakes do not use the nostrils given them like human’s do in order to do this his effort to, “knock the air” outta her would be negated. Leaving only the matter of the thick layers of destructive chi that were being applied against her scales to contend with, periodically melting, and molecularly destroying every scale his aura could reach to on her upper half, pressing down harder on her by the second. Also as stated before that snakes use seismic waves or seismic sense to feel the vibrations of the earth for potential predators or prey when either above or below ground the Lady would feel the vibrations of something being pulled up out of the ground from behind her, the spire that Sian had created no doubt. Causing Suijin to laugh sadistically again as she uses her own power of water manipulation or water bending which would allow her change the frozen pillar into any state of liquid matter she desires. Suijin’s choice however was to liquefy to the spire once Deadman has it in hand before completely dispersing its life giving flow once she saw he had the ill intent of spear heading into the flesh of her tail into several 100 of water droplets that wither and dry up once they fall upon the sands so unless he used his chi to otherwise fortify his control over the elemental used this attempt would be for naught. Though despite all of this his intentions of trying to crush her upper body would still be on. “You were predictable the moment you began to lower the temperature in the area. Keyed me in...” he’d fold his arms, his grip still increasing, by this point causing some creeks and cracks in correction Suijin’s body as this entire form is of her and not belonging only being borrowed by Sian, the destruction chi by this point reducing her scales, to skin, singed skin.” You use ice. I know what you’re thinking. Ah duh right? Well that’s not all. Allow me to tell you what gave you away.” The only gap between us sir is that I was trained by a God ….two of world’s deadliest Super Soldiers… anything past that is utter bullshit to me…but please do give it all you got I need a good laugh today.” She would hear Deadman laugh a bit. “Your confidence is amusing, but at best childish. You lack any real confidence in your own ability and hide behind what you’ve done rather than what you can do. I could say I’m the damned pope, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to necessarily shit your pants when I say I’ll have my god smite you now does it?” “You should talk mortal; you hide behind all your chemically created and cloned enhancements from men long since dead, who knew what real strength was and the sweet pain of combat truly felt like. Yet you dare stand here and lecture me about self confidence, coward!” the unified voices of both women would declare as Suijin still thrashed about appearing to Deadman as her trying to break free but of course this was another case deceit but the foolish man’s rants would in fact buy the Lady time she needed despite not really having it to make one last daring escape though it was a tactic she didn’t like to use as she uses her energies combined with Sian’s own to preempt the ability of Body Shedding or Shedding in the terms of a snake thus hardening her skin long enough against the already mounting damage inflicted on it to actually get rid of it and emerge from it completely anew or in this case close enough to it leaving Deadman nothing to hold onto but an overly decaying, crystallized shell completely made in her image while she herself was free 100% of his grasp. Her thrashing about however was to have her body rub up against the hard brash surface of the sand in order to removed the now dead skin from her tail, once this is done the rest of her would fall into place with ease and not a moment too soon too as she heard the hissing noise of his chi burning through to the tender parts of her skin and Deadman give out another maniacal laugh with a taunt of, “How do the American’s say it? HUMBLE YOUR SELF.” Deadman would un fold his arms, and speak, his fist clenching. “LOLOL I wouldn’t know what Americans say I wasn’t born in that god forsaken hell hole.” They informed him sneering away at him before he goes onto add. “What is a god? Tell me? What is he to one who doesn’t believe in them? A force for falsified hope! Tell me were you referring to your loathsome father?!? Oooh YES Sian! I know all about you!” his eyes widened almost manically. “IT WAS A COLLEAUGE OF MINE WHO DID YOUR PARENTS IN! TIS WHY I NOW QUESTION WHAT A GOD IS, TO A MORTAL MAN WITH A TOP HAT AND A FUCKING! GUN! Tell me! Am I A GOD because I can defeat the seed of one? Where is he? Where is you’re mother, OH SMITE ME LORD AKUMA, STRIKE ME DOWN!”

To this Suijin would smirk uttering the words to the fool behind her. “Your ‘superiority’ has blinded you worthless insect so much so that you haven’t even noticed that I’M…NOT…SIAN…..TETSU! As to where MY children are…I’ll answer your question with another, Just what is death to an immortal?” her hint to him that not only was Tomoko alive but also giving Sian though locked in state of suspended animations inside of the body they now permanently owned as one being confirmation that her father was in fact still alive as well Suijin’s demonic slanted orbs facing Deadman in order to reveal who was really at home at the moment. “As to colleague and his fuck boy their now my bitches as you mortals say. So shall you will be too, soon VERY soon. Hehehe.” The Goddess crooned her tail breaking way from dead skin that bound it while the rest of her body followed emerging from its shell enabling for her to slip out of Deadman’s grasp completely into a nearby sand bank. But the that emerged was not in the form of a giant snake woman no…but none other than Sian’s, half naked and covered in severe burns and flesh wounds that the body shedding wasn’t able to heal as Zack made it clear he didn’t like her being touched by this guy at all before taking to the air in order to cut him down with his red glowing blade. Deadman rising to the young warrior’s challenge by running him through with this mysterious grey chi of his denoting quickly once the boy was struck that he hit a main artery as smell of blood soon enters the air. A scent that prompts the battered female who was struggling just to stand upright in midst of her pain her arms covering her for the most part while to trying to run towards his direction as with this scent Sian knows that death is always most certainly to follow whilst her feet pumble to the sand as fast as they could to reach him but alas it was too late. The deed had been done, once her moon blue eyes saw 20 grey spikes emerge from Zack’s body impaling every organ he had instantly killing him his blood splattering all over Sian as she stood there in complete horror witness to it all. Her lovely face covered by not only sand sweat and tears but blood as well, his blood while the rest painted the desert sands red in its hue and his sword vanishing without a trace. Sian running towards him just in time to catch his body the tears that had begun to form then fall in the heat of the moment in her eyes now unable to stop. Which in itself was strange to her as she believe there was nothing all that special about him to her. So why was she crying? Deadman’s voice suddenly reminded her that he was the cause of all of this which quickly brought her anger to a boil as he impersonated Zack’s voice mocking her to the fullest extent, “Do you see Lady Sian. There are no gods. Only men with power. Hahahahaha!” “All men with power most of them too stupid to respect the Gods, all end up being food the worms…just…like…Mad…Dogg & Dog Bite while those who do live on to become themselves.” She’d retorts back remembering Keyome or rather Lord Thunrian in the Dark Zone just as Deadman would snap his fingers, and a pulse wave like explosion motioned over 50 ft or so of what remained of the table and chairs everyone was eating at earlier as the rest of the shit that was there had been moved fast as hell away from the site. And Sian too would have been knocked 75ft back away from Deadman with Zack’s body still in his arms the young onihorudas using the wind propel her body into an over head flip despite feeling like a crushed soda can her bone and muscles under some serious fire here under the pressure in order to take the blunt of the attack away from his lifeless frame as she knew she could completely heal herself from this ordeal but some how in the changing of positions she lost her grasp over him and Zack was sent tumbling several feet away from hers. The young teenager managing to get to her feet in the mist of the sands and hold her own in the middle of the powerful blast right up until the very end, the winds finally dying down at some point enough before she clasped onto her knees into the sand beneath her. Her delicate skin torn to shreds at every angle and bleeding just as badly as she looks up and see just what was going on, most of which was Deadman leaving. “I believe you about not knowing the where about. I will find traces of it on my own…..my tank is totaled….well….k. bye.” Was all she heard the tyrant say as he took off into the skies. For a moment all Sian could do was try to process everything that she’d seen, heard especially in regards to her father, and done. All of it was totally amazing but still….The 19 year old would suddenly stop her contemplating at the faint sounds of a heart beating, it bringing her back to many things as she began to also hear the sounds of peoples voices cheer and calling to her off in distance while others along with a team of medical staffers along with their hover trucks moved out into the sands to help the two teens. Zack was fortunate enough to have been found by an EMT version of T.R.O.N. (Transforming Robot Operating Network, Basically a Medical version of a transformer lol) Yun Corp Wakanda’s latest and greatest creation thanks to Lala and Nakamura Tech. But his situation was dire to say the least as Terry would move in and order everyone to pitch in to give those who needed rides back to the city while Sian and Zack at her insistence were taken back to her place and placed under 72 hours lockdown with bodyguards, cyber hounds, the works as the only ones who would allowed to enter the grounds would be staff family and Zack's mother to see him though this was an issue that Sian nor Tomoko was looking forward to say the least as Sian sat alone in the living room thinking about what happened at the oasis. While a team of doctors attended to Zack in the guest bedroom. 

A Bird in Gilded Cage...
"He's lost so much blood...His heart and lungs are failing...he won't last the night....Once the mother or next of kin arrives its best to advise them to pull the plug." Sian could hear the doctors say from where she sat with her knees drawn up into her chest and face down in them, the discussion of course was far from her liking to say the very least as the only thing that was keeping him alive was a massive machine that was rushed in to the estate that was acting in the place of his own impaled lungs let's off another loud erratic beep. They wanted Ambrosia to pull it, to let him go in peace using the cliché that they were doctors not butcher's to solidify Deadman's claim of taking his life from him, or rather from her as lifted her head up to reveal that she had indeed been crying while rocking just a black silk button down night gown and some bandages. "There are no Gods...only powerful men..." those words struck Sian to her very core as they played over and over in her mind not to mention several more especially in regard to her lack of confidence when it came to her own powers stirring up a very old demon that she'd believed she had slain so long ago deep in the jungles of South Africa along side Connor Ryoji. 'Am I really that weak? Is that why the others are considered far more powerful than I?' Thought Sian unlocking her hands from about her ankles in order to bring them palms up into her glowing gaze staring at them in a daze. '....why I can't unlock.....' Sian's thought was incomplete but of course Suijin knew what the rest of it was but choose not to reply. Too busy was she in aiding to heal the wounds that the young girl suffered in their fight earlier on that were now bound up behind the bandages that the doctors had put on. Though she could feel pent up anger from what happened to her and Zack when she attempted heal him too and failed starting to mix in with her long running frustration in becoming an onihoruda to begin with starting to really set its tone and push her over the edge. Allowing a cry of frustration to pass over her full lips before bawling her fingers up into the palms of her hand and punching the nearest thing she could find which so happened to be 20k statue her grandma got her for Christmas. Its catching the attention of Tomoko Tetsu who was standing near the front door peering out the side window for any sign of Ambrosia Ryoji's car when it happened. Turning on her heels with haste as she believed that it was someone trying to break in, Moko rushes towards the living room expecting to find an intruder in the home but instead she finds a bare bloodied knuckled, Sian on her knees in the middle of the living room hardwood floor trying to her hardest to get the pieces of the statue up off the floor with a hand brush and dust pan. Cursing to high hell under her breath. 

Giving her head a shake as her clear eyes look on Moko would say, "I've warned you about that temper of yours." leaning towards her right some in order to rest herself upon the side of the door post. "Yeah, yeah I know...I've just got a lot on my mind is all." "Oh? So much that you just had to smash that piece of shit statue Shizumi gave you for Christmas?" "Look mom I don't need this right now, okay?" Sian would begin. "I know I'm a weakling...a poser...hell a coward even...I run when things get "too hard" or inconvenience my way of life...but never once did I think that in my running it would cost me so much. I lost you and now....an innocent man is going to...." She'd pause in midsentence as the medical team would emerge from the room Zack was, the head physician in calling Moko's name in order to update her to his condition as Felicity and Densuke were on standby as next of kin if Ambrosia wasn't able to make it. "Coming." Moko replied standing upright once more then walking off in direction in which the call had come from the makings of her sandals clacking against the hardwood floors as she moved to walk passed Sian who was still on the floor lost in her own self pity. The mother of three stopping once she was close enough to the girl to say, "I'm happy to see that you've acknowledge what your actions have cost you in the past, but tell me what will you do, now that you have the power to change things?" The elder Tetsu denoting keenly to the gifts given her daughter thru her union with Suijin before resuming her stroll to where the doctors stood leaving Sian to herself for a moment to finish cleaning up her mess. It would be in midst of mid-sweep that Si would stop, her thoughts thinking back on the conversation she and Zack had that day....and how he was dead set on trying to make her "his girl" even at the risk of knowing she wouldn't have him. And then back to what her mother just said not but two seconds ago dropping the brush and dust pan onto the floor and taking off in the direction of Zack's room only to be stopped by the doctors’ mid-stride as she attempted to make way right through them and her mother. With sheer determination on her face she yells "Outta my way!" Trying break free of their grasp. 

"I'm sorry Ms. Tetsu you can't go in there not without the proper credentials." "I'm not gonna let it end like this. Not when I have the power to save him." She replies still fighting them. Other doctor would ask. "What makes you think you have the power to do what we can not, hmm?" ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MIkj8EgjHcU ) Again Sian would hear Deadman's taunt ringing in her ears as her anger and frustration with such a faithless race of people finally reached its max the young onihoruda latching onto the male doctor's shirt without so much as a warning declaring, "I'M NOT GOING LET END LIKE THIS!" before pitching him into nearby wall with an over the top judo style flip and rushing off into the direction of the bedroom where Zack was not stopping not even once to adhere to call of her mother or the others that were with her until she was safely inside, the doors closed and locked behind her. 'Forgive me Okaa-san, but I have to do this...I have believe for once in my life that my powers aren't a curse so please keep everyone at bay until this is over.' Sian would say to herself, her back up against the makings of the door with her fingers fastened upon the buttons of her night gown slowly yet methodically releasing them from their holes one by one. The memory of what happened when she tried to heal Zack earlier still playing itself in her mind as well as a host of others regarding the man that her moonlight blue eyes beheld laying unconscious in the bed covered in all kinds of wires, fighting for his life to live before her. Though for the life of her she couldn't understand why it killed her to see him like this but it did. It hurt like hell to see him laid out on top of a bed still dressed in his blood stained clothes now riddled with holes from being impaled as he had been barely holding onto life rather than that of the vibrate person she knew him to be smiling back at her. Her danity feet starting to take one step after another once the last button on her shirt was undone the silk material falling back some to expose her lush fullness of her breasts as she moves in the direction towards the bed. 'Maybe if I unleash all of my power at once...' She'd think to herself, a thought that would prompt Suijin to break away from what she was doing due to Sian's heart rate suddenly beginning to slow down down in motion as she began to do the breathing exercises needed to summon the full flow of her regenerative healing powers. Her body slowly shifting into its transformed human state which kissed with very same scales as she'd have in her halfling form (minus the tail) the flow of a purple aura (venom) began encompass her body as it built up all the force required to pull an absolute healing something Sian knew might just kill her as she'd never once done it before but was aware that Suijin had when she'd brought her mother back from the dead in each stride she took. But she didn't care, just as long as Zack was alright she could always deal with the fact of death after it happened, right? This notion plaguing her for a moment as she goes to push back from her shoulders the gown she wearing revealing that she was only wearing a pair of lacey black boy shorts underneath while he breasts bounce freely, uninhibited as she moves. Sian's feet stopping only when she reached the foot of the bed her gaze fixed upon the man laying in front in complete determination. The sound of the door knob behind her along side with machines inside with her rattling on in their own melodic refrain. Moko's skill of being a master lock pick showing themselves a just bit. "I'm gonna save you Zack even it kills me to do it." Said Sian aloud taking in other deep breath of air into her lungs expelling it through her nose as a brisk tempered breeze began move through the room, her regenerative powers nearing its peak as she lean forward some so the the palms of her hands could rest against the mattress first before allowing her left leg to bend at knee in order for it to follow suit the right not to far behind it as she crawls up it length to reach his body. Where if allowed she would proceed with care to lay down on top of his unconscious form, aligning every muscle and limb of her own body against that of his own, her head resting just several inches up above his chest but close enough to where Sian could make out a faint heart beat the energy or rather venom as the case were she'd accumulating being pushed out from her being into Zack's direction enabling her to rapidly regenerate, or in other words, recreate any lost or damaged tissues and organs that Deadman's attack might have rendered useless to him. Being that Sian has willed up so much power including forging those of her birth physiology and current (snake) in order to pull off a complete level of absolute healing she would bring her concentration to a full focus using what she knows about the human body to visualize each organ in her mind's eye before attempting to push the venom carefully into each on starting with heart first and working her way around towards the next. Each task becoming a bit tedious than the last as Sian had to make sure not exert too much of the toxin into his body less she'd kill him or them both in the process making this all for naught. As the process continues however she can feel the drain and fatigue that is starting to come over her, just when the final organ is now coming into play. 'Just a bit more.' she tells herself. 'Were almost there Zack stay with me.' Sian states mentally while Suijin is almost tempted to pull the plug out from under her just to save both their hides. But alas the damage had already been done to them as the last leg of the healing soon ran its course, the last trace of Sian's aura dissipating itself from view once the teenage fell into a brief state of unconsciousness (she's not dead just used too much of her chi). Sian's only words to Zack as she gazed upon his face being, "Come back to me...." Now if Sian was successful in her attempt to physically restore or replace all of the damage that was done internally to Zack's internal organs then his body being that it would be in full functional working order again should be able to take over the process of recovery for the external wounds that his body has suffered but if not Zack would succumb to a much slower yet painful death than originally indicated by the doctors as it would take the venom a much slower time to travel through his blood stream to his hear given its weakened state.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-z7Rk5slUw&list=PLYNBny7IRlVmdgUwWnVfnLLuQKrqtGzRU&index=32 ) “Black huh. You know I’ve always loved the color, but I’ve never really been a fan of the darkness.” Zack would’ve spoken to himself walking through what seemed like an endless black. The only thing or light source was the light under Zack’s feet as he traversed the darkness. His hands in his pockets, wearing a white pocket tee shirt, with a pair of black slacks and some shoes. “I don’t think I’m dead, but I wouldn’t be surprised…couldn’t even protect that girl. She was fine too. Probably would’ve had a shot. I could’ve been like….the Ron stoppable to her Kim possible or something.” Zack would’ve stopped walking to look up into the blackness. “Then my moms going to kill me…that is if I’m not already dead. HA! Least then she can’t get mad at me if I’ve kicked the bucket. Then again I wouldn’t put it past her to like beat on my carcass or something.” Zack would’ve stopped dead on and held his right hand outwards. Summoning his giant sword into his hand and holding it with two hands. “Guess I can…get some practice in. Get used to the void. What else am I to do…?” Zack would’ve begun swinging the sword around from left to right, raising it above his head and bringing it down, releasing a large amount of chi, in a destructive like wave! “Hmph!” Zack would continue swinging the blade when he’d thought….he’d heard something. A voice perhaps? He ignored it and continued swinging his sword, until the voice chimed again. It rung and resonated in his ears with lovely vibrations. "I'm gonna save you Zack even it kills me to do it." It was clearer this time but it echoed. It couldn’t be…”Sian-er Lady Sian?” Zack would’ve looked around. “Hey! This isn’t funny! I don’t like practical jokes like that don’tcha know?!?” Zack then saw an image of Deadman in his mask. This angered Zack as he growled. “You…you’re the bastard! The reason for my supposed death! I’LL KILL YOU IF I REINCARNATE YOU BASTARD!” Zack would’ve raised the blade above his head, as it brimmed red and then brought it down releasing a cataclysm of energy that spiraled upwards, into the black sky illuminating the area red for a moment, before light began to come to his world again. Zack found himself floating now in an abyss of white. “Wha....what’s this?...I feel good…really good…and I have a killer hard on.” Zack would’ve looked down at his pants, and saw a rising bulge. “Huh.” Looking around the white began to exuberate a few colors’ that looked like fire flies that flew around and formed an image….a face if you will. The face had become that of Sian’s. “Sian? Are you dead too or...” Zack’s body image would’ve begun to fade, as it went black again for a single second. His eyes fluttered. As he slowly began to open them again, he’d look around and see a hospital room? “Mgf..” he grumbled, not knowing where he was, but glad to be alive. He was alive at least, which made a primordial difference. His eyes wondered the room before he’d look down and see Sian’s head on his chest. Wait, WHAT? Zack could see…her body was….naked sort of…like those scales from earlier, but no tail just legs. Good god almighty that’s why he had a hard on. Zack would’ve managed to wiggle a few fingers, and soon find the strength to actually move his entire arm. Zack would’ve let his entire arm over lap over her backside. If she’d been any kind of conscious Zack would’ve tried to lighten the mood a bit with a joke. “Yaaaaaay I just made it to second base. “ Zack would laugh a bit but his ribs would pain him and his laugh would quickly turn into a cough. The doors would’ve busted open again, as Zack’s mother ambrosia would’ve came through the door with tears in her eyes. Only to see Sian on top of Zack, as Zack’s head would’ve quickly whipped over to his moms direction. “Hey mom look! Second base! Plus this job has great medical!” Ambrosia would’ve pinched the bridge of her nose before feinting on the spot. “M-mom?! H-hey! Someone! Anyone! Help! Mom! It’ll be okay! Sian! Erm... Do something without getting up!” he’d whisper. “I’m so comfortable right now.” A couple of medics would’ve been tending to Zack’s mom and Zack would giggle a bit. “Thank you Lady Sian. You…you pulled me from the brink of death. If that’s what that was. I couldn’t protect you though…and I hate that more than anything else. I might just not be cut out for t his job….” Zack would’ve looked doubtfully to the side. “But just…give me some time! I’ll become stronger and I’ll make sure nothing happens to either of us next time!”

For a moment she laid still, stiff as a board one might say against him the sound of the doors behind her being bulldozed in practically by not one but two enraged mothers proliferating her ear drums as well as the sound of his heart beating proudly in his chest as she drifted in a state between consciousness and unconsciousness truthfully unable to move physically no less open her eyes due to the amount of chi she’d exerted in bringing Zack back from the abyss, that most considered a near death experience. But her other senses were still were still intact as she could feel his staff growing up against the taunt makings of her belly. The sight of the grow stiffing appendage bringing a scowl to Suijin’s as she retorted, “Really now, out of all times to……MEN!” groaning a bit before face palming herself with her right hand, the disgust she was feeling towards this whole matter reaching its high point for the night. “Leave him be Suijin, its not like he can control it given the curse we have.” Sian would tell the oni mentally. “But still this isn’t time or the place for THAT….” The 19 year old beauty could nothing but let out a long drawn out sigh laying there against him honestly not caring about the predicament they were in at the moment. And it wasn’t due to anything sexual; it was because for the first time she trusted herself in long time, or her powers rather to save someone else’s life. Something that up until today she would have never done because of her own fears of hurting someone instead. The sound from door behind them getting louder. “Mom’s going to kill me when she see’s me like this isn’t she?” “That among other things I’d wager?” “Hahaha but it was for a good cause....” “I doubt Tomoko will see it that way as I too fail to see the reasoning behind such a rash decision, but none the less I will try to warrant some sense with her once my powers have fully returned to me.” Suijin assures her. Sian allowing the events the followed to take place all on their own as she was unable to stop them to say the very least from unfold once the man beneath her began to stir to life once more. Si could feel his warm touch against her tanned skin as he moves his arm around her backside to embrace her, alerting her to the fact that he was now fully awake and that her attempts at restoring his life were in fact a complete success. A fact that of course lead her to smile while still laying there on top of his form as she’d hear him joke, “Yaaaaaay I just made it to second base.” which prompted Sian to immediately frown just as quickly before shutting him down once she was able regain some control of her neck in order to look up into his face. “I don’t see how that could be since I don’t remember asking you to step to the plate to bat to being with but I’m glad you’re alright. I can’t move, can we stay like this for a while?” She replied taking note that his injuries weren’t all the way healed like she believed once he began laughing and then coughing in its stead, slightly hoping that her request would fall on deaf ears because of it as she was feeling slightly uncomfortable being like this so close to a man. Either that or at least that would have some moral decency about him and try to cover her up with blanket that was laying on the opposite side of him as the door suddenly was forced off its hinges and the visage of Ambrosia Ryoji, came through with tears in her eyes with that of her own mother not too far behind followed by the doctors. Now if Zack had indeed covered her body up things might not look so bad to the two women that came through the door but if not this is what would happen…

Without so much as turning her head Sian could feel the eyes of the female upon her semi-nude form lying on top of what should have been her son’s near dead body, and it made her instinctively bury her face into Zack’s chest in pure embarrassment as this wasn’t the first impression she wanted to make as his employer with the woman nor did Zack’s comment of “Hey mom look! Second base! Plus this job has great medical!” help either. As she heard something hit the floor with a heavy “THUD” sound. Sian completely unaware that Ambrosia had just fainted from the shock of seeing them like this together and that Zack was indeed alive to boot. “M-mom?! H-hey! Someone! Anyone! Help! Mom! It’ll be okay! Sian! Erm. Do something without getting up!” he’d whisper. “I’m so comfortable right now.” Sian couldn’t say a word to this or move when she heard this all she could do was blush despite how un-nerved she might have felt about the whole matter.

Tomoko however was livid to say the very least after having to rely on skills she hadn’t had to use since her Yakuza rookie years to pry open the doors lock to begin with then deal with a Ambrosia’s own antics upon her arrival to the home. The mother of three couldn’t understand that why out of all her kids, Sian was the most unpredictable of the bunch. Yet again Melina wasn’t old enough yet for Moko to say anything about her yet, she sighs coming in on the very same scene that had caused the boy’s mother to faint without so much as a word. Only instead of passing out when she beheld the sight of her half naked daughter on top of a man, Moko went slam straight the fuck off letting the doctors tend to poor Ambrosia while she went on a rampage. “Sian Aiko Tetsu, what is the meaning of this!?!” Causing Sian’s head to bolt upright in a pure stage of fright that can’t even be described in words as she turns her head to look back at her enraged mother. “Okaa-san, I promise you this isn’t what it looks like….” “Then you got some `plaining to do cause that’s exactly what the hell it looks like to me young lady!!! Jesus Christ you’re just barely out of a divorce and already you’re throwing yourself at a man. Your father and I didn’t raise you to be….” “Enough Mom!” Sian would bark back her own tone raising just a bit at Moko in order to be heard against her. “This was the only way I could save his life okay, its kinda my JOB to do that and the only reason I’m still like this is because I exerted too much of power in doing so and I can’t move, there’s nothing sexual going on between me and Zack nor will there be.” Sian could feel something in her die a little here as she said it but paid it no mind. “Now are you going help me up or continue flipping your trap?” Moko just stood there speechless for a moment…in truth she didn’t know what really to say she knew that her daughter did have quite a mouth on her but not to the point where she would defend herself and her position as a onihorudas to her in such a fashion that even she wouldn’t have any ground to stand on. So Moko did the only thing she could’ve that is if Zack hadn’t already. She walks over to the bed stopping once to pick her daughter’s silk shirt from the floor and with care helps Sian slip her arms back inside of it, in order to shield her from his gaze before placing a kiss on her forehead. Which surprises the hell outta of out Sian to say the very least. “I’m proud of you; you’ve finally accepted you are which means when we get back you can being the next phase of your journey but for now both of you need to rest. Zack, I’ll see to mother there’s much she needs to know if you are to continue being around our family. I can only hope she can handle it.” Moko would tell the two instructing the medics briefly to take Ambrosia into the adjacent room which they did before pulling the door up just slightly behind her leaving the pair alone to talk. “Thank you Lady Sian. You…you pulled me from the brink of death. If that’s what that was. I couldn’t protect you though…and I hate that more than anything else. I might just not be cut out for t his job….” Sian would hear Zack say as he looks to the side doubtfully to the side. “But just…give me some time! I’ll become stronger and I’ll make sure nothing happens to either of us next time!” Sian smiles softly. “You’re welcome.” –Pauses- “Zack about earlier what you said at the photo shoot about dating me, were…were you serious or just fooling around?” 

“Sian Aiko Tetsu, what is the meaning of this!?!” Zack would’ve looked over again to see Sian’s mom…the hell is up with the women in this family? They all look friggin gorgeous. Zack would snicker a bit at hearing Sian’s middle name though. “Aiko…kinda cute.” He thought to himself, as he’d close his eyes, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead as he didn’t want to outright be known to be laughing or anything else of the sort. This entire family montage was hilarious, and thank heavens his mom was okay but lord knows he was going to catch hell for this when she woke up. It actually scared him a tad bit shitless, to say the least. All in all when she told him he was welcome he’d nod, and begin to fall asleep at first until something interesting left the Tetsu girl’s mouth, that he did not see coming from a mile away. “Zack about earlier what you said at the photo shoot about dating me, were…were you serious or just fooling around?" Zack would tilt his head up a bit to look at her. “Eh?...what did I say…what did I oh. The. The me getting with you thing? I mean…” Zack would look away for a second, not wanting to outright look her in the eye. “Let’s be honest Lady Sian. Even if I did want to get with you, which I do, it wouldn’t work. You’re…so high above me. In stature and status…it might not work out for you in the long run. You need someone on your level, and I don’t think I’m quite there. But I mean…I won’t lie. I do think, I could show ya a thing or two about how a woman should be treated. I like you a lot pretty lady, but I’m….not worthy.” Zack would’ve sighed and closed his eyes, frowning a bit. He didn’t consider himself on her level of any kind of way, and it was made clear by the way he carried himself. “Plus I couldn’t even …be of use to you.” Zack balled his fist angrily just thinking about Deadman and his antics that embarrassed him so heavily on his first day of the job. It pained him so and rightfully would for a long, long time.

Sian's eyes would narrow the moment Zack laid eyes on her mother. To say that she wasn't the least bit jealous of how he looked at her would be over doing it a tad but femme fatale knew that it was beyond his control because if the unnatural beauty trait the Yuki Onnas have. 'I'd keep my eyes to myself if were buster, dead or alive my dad has ways of protecting that one.' She thought with a sheepish grin on her face. Her mother's mention of "next half of her journey" starting to make her wonder just what was the next step that Moko had in mind for her anyhow once the older woman was up and out of the room, and herself covered up by her night gown once more. Whatever it was Sian knew that she was ready for it...she had to be or else...she'd turn her sights back to Zack who apparently had been dozing off in the middle of her and mom's yapping. Sian couldn't help but sigh. 'Nope he wasn't, he wasn't serious in the least just like I thought.' She thought, Suijin suddenly starting to chuckle. 'Now what did you expect from a male bewitched by immortal beauty, hmm? Honestly Sian when will you learn that no one but family will ever see the real you, it will either a monster that they see or matsuri favor to play with.' the oni explains as her question regarding she and Zack possibly dating in the future seemingly jerked him up and out of his slumber to answer it. But his reply only seemed to confirm what the oni goddess had already said. "Let's be honest Lady Sian. Even if I did want to get with you which I do, it wouldn't work. You're...so high above me. In stature and status...it might not work out for you in the long run. You need someone on your level, and I don't think I'm quiet there. I do think, I could show ya a thing or two about how a woman should be treated. I like you a lot pretty lady, but I'm...not worthy. Plus couldn't even...be of any use to you." He words resonated in her ears like beating of war drums. And though true in their nature as they might be she being a high profiled celeb and the pinnacle of the oni race and he just a mortal and hired gun to protect her Sian still couldn't accept that there was no where for her be when came to world of men as she lowers her face into his chest hide the truth of the pain that was now becoming tears in her eyes, Suijin's words during their first encounter resounding themselves in her ears. //////Suijin's voice being heard/////"Yuki-Onnas are destitute race neither loved by onis or by humans, who do what they must in order to survive and bring forth the next generation."/////Ends///// "Then it's obvious that you don't the real me then either...because if you did you'd see a person whose life wasn't all glitz and fame. I grew up in the slums of Roanapur, Thailand a place that makes District 1 back Kasaihana look like a paradise. Though I was rich even then being there gave me a sense of humility. Being there I knew I was just like any another person fighting and scraping to get by." Said Sian, giving Zack her own rendition of a "Rags to Riches" story. "Even after leaving it I tried to stay true to those values. But my aristocratic breeding I guess is more appealing to others than my street sense. But hey that's life I guess, though I am happy to hear that I'm not alone in my feelings here. I like you just as much too...." Sian paused for a moment to get up from where she lay as some of her strength was returning to her, the front of gown still exposing her cleavage to him some what before she allows her hands to move in and re-button it her head still lowered as she spoke on while sitting on the left side of the bed. "As to being with someone on my level...hah I think that's a joke seeing as all I did for the past three years was beg for another's affection when I gave mines so freely to them. So no thank you I'll stick to someone more closer to the ground this time with someone who wants to know the real me, and not some image in front of a camera. Screw not being there Zack you don't have to put on a show for me, I'm in the same place as you right now. I'm embarrassed at what happened today too and I'm supposed to be peak of my kind yet a genetically enhanced freak got the better of me." Sian would've turn her gaze in another direction for a moment as did truly understand how he felt, she didn't feel worthy of him either as with all her great power and even with Suijin in full control she failed to protect Zack thus resulting to this all happening to begin with. "I wish I were stronger to tell you truth so that could have protected you more." Her hand attempting to take his fist into it squeezing it. "You are worthy in my eyes Zack. You handle that tank like a pro and with a bit of help from some friends you will become even more."

"Then it's obvious that you don't the real me then either...because if you did you'd see a person whose life wasn't all glitz and fame. I grew up in the slums of Roanapur, Thailand a place that makes District 1 back Kasaihana look like a paradise. Though I was rich even then being there gave me a sense of humility. Being there I knew I was just like any another person fighting and scraping to get by." Zack could feel the shift of tone, but he wasn’t used tot his. Not by a long shot. He’d never felt…these strange feelings in his tummy when talking to someone right this moment. Everything felt pretty mutual, but he wasn’t sure weather he himself was just enjoying being this close to anyone else. He could tell maybe his words struck a nerve in her a tad bit. He didn’t quite know how to feel. Had he fucked up? He’d continue listening to her explain as she was right. He didn’t know her side of the story, and even if it was unintentional, he did prejudge her based on the glimmer the fame, and the status. He continues listening to her origin story. It’s rather surprising. You wouldn’t have thought she’d have a rich background, where she experienced the humility of the poor, but again that was all out the window when he heard an arrangement of words that made him perk up a bit. “I like you just as much too...." did he hear that right? "As to being with someone on my level...hah I think that's a joke seeing as all I did for the past three years was beg for another's affection when I gave mines so freely to them. So no thank you I'll stick to someone more closer to the ground this time with someone who wants to know the real me, and not some image in front of a camera. Screw not being there Zack you don't have to put on a show for me, I'm in the same place as you right now. I'm embarrassed at what happened today too and I'm supposed to be peak of my kind yet a genetically enhanced freak got the better of me." Zack would’ve grunted a bit, mustering the energy to sit himself up, propping his weight against his arms behind him, so he could get a better view on her face. He was all caught up now listening to her now. "I wish I were stronger to tell you truth so that could have protected you more." Her hand attempting to take his fist into it squeezing it. "You are worthy in my eyes Zack. You handle that tank like a pro and with a bit of help from some friends you will become even more." Zack would’ve looked at their hands as they touched, and he’d have looked back at her. “Are you…thank you…I’m sorry I misjudged you. “ Zack would sit up completely, folding his legs Indian style, and looking at Sian. “It feels surreal to know you actually like me somewhat. Didn’t…see it coming. But I’m happy! This is fucking great!” Zack would smile at her, but quickly wince a bit. “Yikes, phantom pains. “ Zack would look down at his ribs and then back at Sian. I want you to be comfortable with this…I haven’t had a girlfriend in god knows how long. Actually you’d be my first. You’ve been married for goodness sakes. I want you to make sure that…you know. This is a legit start over for you. I don’t wanna be a rebound. We do this, I’mma give you my all. That’s how I do things.” Zack would’ve looked her directly in her eyes with his green hues. It was probably the first serious expression she would’ve ever gotten from him.

She could tell her words got Zack at the heart but what she told him was a fact most of her fans already knew but some how got lost in all the flow of beautiful things and lights. Even after hitting the Kasaihana high life there were so many things that Kin, Connor, Daisuke, and yes even Kodi didn’t even know about her and coming from nothing was one of them. It was something she was hoping when all of this was over, the games that is that she’d be able to tell them and finally put to rest the ugly portrait of her youth she’d painted in their minds. Sian being drawn from her thoughts the moment Zack grunted, and attempted to prop his weight against his arm his eyes directly aligning herself with her own. “Zack wait a minute…you shouldn’t be trying to move around so soon…I’m not that good of a healer yet so it might hurt still, a lot.” She warned him still having a bit of trouble really trusting an oni’s powers when it comes to others though she didn’t remove her hand from his own once he took note of it. “Are you…” Zack would start to say. “Hitting on you? If that’s what you think, then probably not but I’m honest about my feelings Zack.” “Thank you…” “Don’t mention it.” “I’m sorry I misjudged you.” “It’s cool, you didn’t know. Most don’t its something I hope to spend the next few years changing though.” Sian chuckles as Zack moves to sit up completely in bed in a full Indian style fashion looking at her. “It feels surreal to know you actually like me somewhat. Didn’t…see it coming. But I’m happy! This is fucking great!” His smile causing her to blush some but none the less smile back that is until he yelps in pain of course. “Yikes, phantom pains.” Laughing at the face he makes she’d say, “See I told ya you should’ve taken it easy.” Motioning her other hand towards his chest once Zack takes a look down at his ribs to examine what could be wrong herself before catching him looking back at her whilst she did this. “I want you to be comfortable with this…I haven’t had a girlfriend in god knows how long. Actually you’d be my first. You’ve been married for goodness sakes. I want you to make sure that…you know. This is a legit start over for you. I don’t wanna be a rebound. We do this, I’mma give you my all. That’s how I do things.” She’d hear him say her hand coming to rest on his abs as their eyes meet up once again, the expression on his face being the most serious she’d ever seem from him ever. And to that extend Sian would take a breath realizing just how fast he’d jump the gun here. “Easy Ryoji, I’m not ready just yet for another full blown relationship. Let’s just take baby steps for now and let rest fall into place as we go. So no pressure.” Sian said, understating that what she might be asking for might be a bit risqué and more overly down right impossible but it was a gamble she was willing to beat that Zack would take her up on and even if he didn’t at least they both knew that in the future when things were as they wished them to be they’d have a shot together, the young starlet starting to yawn a bit from where she was sitting before getting up to place a kiss on his cheek and making her way towards a large white lounge that was nearby. “Its getting late…and I suspect that Terry will send a fresh set of doctors over in the morning to cheek on you, so tell ya what I’ll take the lounge in the corner just to keep an eye on you for tonight and we can talk some more in the morning once they’re done. I’ll even make breakfast too.” Nestling into it with ease, spreading out the blanket that was hung over it over herself, and attempting to get some rest. Because like every day in her life tomorrow was gonna be just as busy, especially since…it was back to Kasaihana for the Tetsus.
