Ark 13 Episode 29: The owl and the Dog Part 1





Thunrian: ( http://youtu.be/LGJqzZdmdtE ) Keyth and Densuke had spoke about this prior about a week before hand. ****FLASHBACK**** " So your saying... you want me to show the kid how I track, can't you do that yourself? I mean I know I threw Jin your way... But dont forget I'm a Yakuza... for all I know this kid might be the death of me one day if I end up going corrupt..." Densuke smirked and tilted his head to the right cocking his right eyebrow at Keyth. Only for the young Yakuza to sigh and rub the back of his neck and finally nod in agreement. " Alright.. Alright... I know that this will be for the greater good. And you can get that smug look off your face I know i'm not afraid of this kid... it's just out in the field. I am what I am, and you guys are what you are..." Keyth said standing up. " Tell the kid to come to the outside of District 2 outside of the city within the woodlands that lead into canada... you know the place and he'll know it to if you guide him. Tell him not to pack anything... no shoe's. Nothing, no gadgets. Just himself..." Keyth said walking to his hummer and getting into his car. ****FLASHBACK END**** Lu would have recieved an automated message left by Densuke one afternoon telling him to go to this certain location and the specifications of not bringing any gear and all that other stuff. No food or anything. Even the exact location of where to go. Keyth had already been there, and had left a notice for Michiko that he'd be gone for awhile and if she needed anything to reach Densuke or Ginsei. He stated that it had been a busniess trip. Sitting perched up in a tree somewhere and yet nowhere in paticular he'd wait for the young man to show up in the clearing of the middle of the forrest. Densuke would have given him a map with the exact location and how to get there only thing Keyth had to do was to wait there for the young man to finally show face. He was histant on showing him how to track... it was a sacred thing amongst his tribal clan as a boy. And even then it was still difficult to teach someone. Although If Densuke trusted in this young man's abilites then he'd take his friends word. Keyth wore some Shinboi fitted ppants, no shoe's and three blades on his side, sitting nicely on his right hip. And his Yamisuki on his back, he made sure to stay in the wilderness days longer than the boy was instructed to venture off to this area. His hair out in a scraggly mess he looked wild, primal as he sat perched on the tree. It had been a sunday, it was sunny out as well. About 70 degrees. And thanks to the nuclear warfare back in WW3 the woodlands in New America are all jungle like, infested with mutated animals and the like of all kind. It gave off a bright green with a mixture of other tropical colors. It had been humid out... " I wish he'd hurry up..."

Uub: ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jtynoU37eQ)) “ Man.. Densuke I really wish I knew about this before him and his surprises “ Lu constantly complained to himself with the knowledge he had just received earlier that morning. He didn’t understand why Den would all of a sudden send him out to practice in the woods with no change of clothes, food or worst of em all his gadgets. It all seemed suspicious to him one side of Lu told him don’t go keep to yourself and ignore the message await for Densuke to command him to go while his curiosity told him go and find out, either way his curiosity overcame it all revealing it’s superior spot in Lu’s way of thinking. Lu walked through the grassy fields of new america. The map densuke had left for him in his grasp. “ Damn it Im already hungry .. should have thought twice about skipping breakfast this morning “ Lu stomach roared a great big roar causing the abnormal sized birds to flock among his head going their separate ways. Lu dragged his feet through the grass pushing past the branches and leaves that stood in his midst. “If this map is correct I shouldn’t be that far out”. the deeper Lu got into the forest the more he grew into acknowledging it’s beautiful characteristics. He watched as the swarm of bee’s circled the cherry red roses blossoming from it’s nurturing soil. He was also fascinated by the sounds the stream made as they rushed passed the rock that stood in it’s way taking some of the particles along with it to fall which lead to there dematerialization within the water fall. Lu took a moment to thank mother nature for the gifts she had passed among these woods. “ Haha That Densuke.. he saw how hard I was working and sent me on vacation .. Well I’d better hurry.. I hope theres girls “ Lu let out a long breath of satisfaction “ Man…how I wish to see girls .. especially in their bikini’s it’s been a while since i seen a girl in a bikini.. a girl actually “ Lu babbled on to himself still following the coordinates on the map, His midnight black adidas sweat pants held firmly tight around his ankle due to Lu’s white adidas socks that he placed over the ending of his sweats. His black sleeveless hoodie that seemed as if Bruce Banner himself trained in them and went through a transformation while being attacked by lieutenant ross and the rest of his militant officials at the same time. But even though the hoody held such a gruesome looks despite it’s ware and tear it remained to be Lu’s official attire once going out to do something he didn't really feel like doing but of course in this case he wished he had a better attire. As Lu met his destination he quickly searched the scene “err.. uh where’s the girls... “ Lu looked twice at the map even flipping it upside down sideways every position you can possibly due to a paper but still he remained to get the same destination. He looked towards the man before him he couldn’t quite see due to the distance “ Hmm maybe he can help me ? “ Lu quickly waved attempting to get his attention “ HEYY ! Do you by any chance know your way around these woods ?! I think Im lost “

Thunrian: ( http://youtu.be/o79_lScf9Cg )" Tch..." Keyth said eying him shout from a distance. Upon arrival Keyth would have leaped off of his sitting place. Tossing his body off with a flip so he'd land infront of the young man towering over him. Lu would remember him from when Keyth made his way to the hero for hires base looking for Densuke and they had gotten into a tussle. Keyth stood over the young man. Hovering over him completely as he cocked his right eyebrow. " Sup, boy wonder..." Keyth said with smrik, trying to get under the kids skin from the start. " Been reading up on you and Densukes files... gotta say. Your growing with Densuke... He says you show promise and might even exceed him one day. Well you know what?" Keyth said tapping him in the chest with his index finger three times before he leaned forward a centimeter. " I'm here to test that notion..." Keyth took a step back, his hands spread out and extended as he took a deep breathe. " Welcome to a new jungle kid... this is one where the real animals reside. And you know who's the king of those animals?" Keyth said letting his hands drop as he turned to the young man, cocking his right eyebrow. " I am... I am the king of the beast. I am the beast of the devils. I am the beast of burden. The Red Dog... The Akamaru." Keyth said saying his alias in Japanese. " And you, your an owl.. an owl nothing but his claws. But that's alright even though your only good for the night. I'll show you how to be an animal all the time... for the next two weeks. You'll be learning from me. Out here your cut out from all levels of communication. No one out here to help you, or hear you scream..." Keyth said turning back around to face Lu completely. He took out a long dagger from the right pocket of his pants. He gripped it by the blade and attmpted to throw it Lu's face, if it hit, then it'd go right through his skull and kill him right then and there. Though if he dodged it, it land into a tree right behind him, that's if he didnt catch it that is. " That's your only weapon. It belonged to me when I first started hunting. That is your weapon against me... This training method is something that my father used on his Aniki's those that didnt die. There's only one man that survived these training methods. And that's Ginsei Yanazuka's dad. Ginsueki. But anyways... im gonna do the same thing to you. But with my own twist. For the next two weeks. I'll be trying to kill you... and you'll have to try to kill me... Seems simple enough right? Heh... Well dont tell Densuke about this part but..." Keyth looked up at the sky, a helicarrier that had been invisible before had finally showed face once he gave it the signal. One of the doors open and one of the Arasumaru new recuricts tossed a device that looked like a cellphone over Lu and Keyths head. Keyth caught it in his right hand and pulled it up to show Lu the screen. " Meet Mallory T. She's a college student in the Kasaiahana city university, she's majoring in crimnial justice. Heh.." Keyth showed the young pink haired female tied up and unable to move. Squriming in her rope holds in the middle of a room gaurded by men. Up there, atop Mt.Thunder..." Keyth said pointing to the top of the mountain far off in the distance. " over 300 miles out Rest the young damsel in distress. This is my own doing, Densuke had nothing to do with it... I wanted to test you.. 'Hero..' " Keyth said crushing the device in hands before letting it drop. Pointing at the 15 inch blade in the tree. " With that blade your going to survive out here, live out here, and survive out here. If you do not reach the female within the approximate days... then she will die. And your training will have been a failure. " Keyth said smirking. -c- Thunrian: " Oh... and did I mention..." Some men in heavy duty like armour came out of the woodworks, each had been camoflouging themselves, carrying M-16 and other rifles of balistic nature. " These men will be chasing after you... My Oyabun, Claymore had these made. Same suit interior of the Kagemaru's Maru Jeitai. Been working on my own little PMC ( Private Military Corporation.) Thing though it's gonna take sometime. Touch these guys with your bare hands and your going to get shocked... with a lethal and deadily dose of electricty..." Keyth said crossing his arms. " They'll give you a 5 hour headstart... and I'll give you a 2 hour headstart..." Keyth said pulling out his blade Yamisuki and holding it in his right hand. " Begin!"

Diversity: Uub: Lu held a questioning expression this did not turn out any way he was expecting it would. Lu lightly shook his head questioning himself a bit he had recognized this man from there throw down back at the cave but he’d never thought he would seem him again especially not in this type of situation, Lu lightly planted his palm against his forehead his brow showing signs of worrisome. “ I cannot believe this.. “ Lu eye’s nearly flew out his sockets at side of the dagger making it’s way towards him at intense speed. Lu quickly jumped back catching the grip of the dagger by the clapping of his hands. The dagger lightly poked his nose a sweat ran down his cheek, Lu slowly pulled it away from his face allowing his arms to rest at his sides. This man was a complete psycho Lu really questioned where Densukes mind was allowing him to be in this position, A ladies life was on the line forcing Lu to be left with many options he had no answer to it was either take the easy way out and play this mans game or some how change the rules to the point he would be able stick to his heroic code and save this ladies life. Lu with the thoughts of jabbing the man continuously and ending this crap before it got to places far from both their control. But he knew Densuke wouldn’t do that he knew Densuke would find a way so Lu believed he can do the same, Lu darted from the Keyth’s line of sight at the sound of begin. “Owl only belongs in the night.. I’ll show him ! “ As Lu ran he pressed his dagger against the trees that stood in his way leaving markings on the tree leading all the way back to where the stream laid, He then pressed his dagger on the ground engraving letters onto a rock which soon read “ GO BLOW YOURSELF “ with a smiley face sticking out it’s tongue Lu then grinned before dashing off the opposite direction , aiming to cover his tracks by digging his toes into the ground quickly kicking back and forth like a dog in search of a bone in attempt of covering his footsteps “ This man was no ameature he knew that for sure but he hoped this would give him enough time to keep himself hidden long enough to think of a plan ,((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQsRCVddXts)) As Lu journey through the woods he felt his body grow heavy along with the roaring of his stomach “ Damn it two weeks.. “ Lu lightly dragged the back of his head across his forehead. “ Damn Densuke.. I have a few words to share with him when I get out of here alive.. If I get out of here alive “ Lu allowed his head to hang low as he dragged his feet through the woods he watched as the sun begin to set over the horizon “ It’s getting dark .. better find somewhere to kick it “ Lu rubbed his hands together as the chill from the wind began to follow along. He felt eyes set gaze upon him “ This place his giving me the chills.. “ Lu crept through the woods attempting to decrease the chances of making any sudden noise and then it happened following a “ clack” would be the sudden sounds of “Oof ! “ Lu was held hung over in a ditch upside down a rope held tightly around his ankle, Lu felt the blood rush within his forehead , “ Shit “ Lu quickly began pushing his body upwards constantly and constantly pushing his upper body strength but still unable to budge due to his lack of food. Lu then turned towards the sounds of “ Hoo .. Hoo “ from a distance his gaze being caught hostage by the gaze of an owl, it’s bright yellow eyes giving Lu a stern and frightful look it wasn’t long till Lu caught on to the sign sent forth by mother nature giving out a huff and a buff quickly pushing his body upwards cutting himself loose with the dagger , Lu looked up once more filled with excitement only to see the Owl was gone Lu lightly nodded turning towards a hill that lead out of the ditch , “.. Thank you “

Thunrian: ( http://youtu.be/BVelM6VjB7I )Little did Lu know, that during his little run. That Keyth had set up men infront of him. Keyth watched the sun drift and his two hours had hit. " Let's change the game up boy's..." Keyth said turning to his men. " You 10, go out and get him. Kill him... Don't hold back. Tell Bravo team up ahead to go ahead and start closing in on him. I'm going to move in ahead.." He said rushing forward. Keyth took off, and stopped once he got far enough. His hands picking up a stone with some kind of writing on it. " Guess he thinks he's cute..." Keyth said putting the stone into his back pocket and continuing on. As he ran on all four's. His eyes scanned over the area taking note of all the slashes made throughout the tree's. " Is he stupid... or leading me right to him... Hm.." Keyth said as he took off at a faster pace. His body moving at an inhuman rate of sheer speed.( http://media.tumblr.com/63c3329358db49ac9ba64b5139cbd119/tumblr_inline_mut5lsqdJl1rkywcg.gif ) Finally Ducking his body to the right as he blasted his way into the three's. Landing on a tree limb he took the stone out and sniffed it. He caught the young man's scent and his eyes slanted like a wild beast. He could litterally see the scent in the air like some kind of blood hound as he growled tilting his head down he'd blast off through the air. Leaping from tree to tree as he had the young man's scent.///////A FEW HOURS LATER/////// " We have him.. in our sights..." It had been a few hours since they had let Lu make his head start. Two of the soliders camoflouged next to a tree watched as lu began to make his way closer to them. They had been about 10 feet infront of him, each with a dagger of there own. A suprise attack, they stayed low and ready... one wouldnt be able to see them even with enhanced vision or something of the sort. One on the left, the other on the right. It was a full 6 feet distance apart from each other they had been. It was nightfall now the crickets and the such all had been throughout the area making there cherps of the night. Various animals could be heard... and it seemed all to errie. The owl's all flocked and continued to create a level of disturbance... almost alerting the young man. Once and If Lu had made his way infront of the two camoflauged men. They both would have lunged, once within the proximaity of two feet they would have made themselves known attempting to stab the young man to death if he didnt defend himself in time. All the while two other soliders would leap down from a tree both with net's in there hands. A net of 20 feeth and length. The soliders jumped from a full 10 foot apart, making the radius of the net grab very likely if Lu didnt dispose of the two other soliders or atleast move out of the way. Fish net's that each one had a piece of in both hands.Attempting to bag the young man. If they had been successfull they'd all began to stomp and beat him to a bloody pulp untill he had died. Not to mention if the blade wounds from the ambust had connected, Lu would have been injuryed from the get go and unable to fight them off properly. Timing would have to be Lu's friend here. Using his reflexe's and his since of danger would be the only thing to save him. ( Find out a viable way to take these out, and I'll let you get something cool later. )

Uub: Lu eyes scavenged the area he held his hands deep within his pockets in search of the owl who had helped him earlier, The deeper he got into the woods the more eerie the mood gotten it was then Lu had found himself in danger , Lu quickly stopped walking at sight of the of the owl once more “ Hm “ Lu’s eyes quickly turned towards it. It was then Lu’s ears feel to a sudden sound of a step. (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_scbziJUEog )) Lu quickly back peddle a bit at sight of two camouflaged soldiers lunged forward barging out at him with daggers in their grasp. “ Whoa !..” Lu quickly pushed his dagger out forcing it to make contact with both there daggers at one slash, “ clank” along with sparks were shot out upon contact. “ Alright boys, You found me.. now what ? “ Lu quickly took a couple steps back driving his body forward narrowing his body down pressing his fingers against the floor to where his palms would barely be making contact with the grass, He narrowed his brow at them as his back remained in an arch. “ Alright boys come at me if you're really feeling it ? “ Lu lifted a brow at the sudden movement within the tree’s quickly charging at the two soldiers with the daggers, Aiming to keep away from there suits he then watched as the two soldiers came done with net forced to place it over there own colleagues due to Lu being in their midst , But Lu wouldn’t allow himself to be caught in the net with the two so he’d quickly proceed with a forward roll using his speed enhancement. Avoiding being caught in the net so that if he were to successful roll through and his plan was to go out the two soldiers would be caught beneath the net where there two suits would touch discharging the electricity that circulated there suit back and forth eventually causing the men within the suit to fry causing a small combustion which would send out a bright light able to blind someone if looked at directly, Lu already away of the potential combustion that may display before him would have already held his eyes covered with his arms ,” Sorry boys maybe next time when you guys decide to play fair ! “ Leaping from his position among the ground reaching for a vein forcibly swinging through the woods at an intense pace. attempting to avoid any sightings of any other soldiers. He quickly caught grasp of a branch pulling himself up while avoiding the noises being sent forth by the birds that began pecking at his head claiming the tree” Damn you, stupid birds get out of my way “ Lu quickly swing his dagger at them they all moved at once forming an arrow in the sky as they flew off , Lu quickly brought his right leg over the branch pulling his left side up to where he would be dangling from the tree. He then looked forward noticing the passageway left accessible to him through the many trees this branch lead. Lu quickly stood up firmly attempting to regain his balance then narrowing his head along with his shoulder low Lu would quickly slide among the branch at an intense speed to the point it was almost impossible to stop (( http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmg2k4TCo51qkebpzo1_500.gif)) As soon as Lu’s satisfactory was met he would quickly reach upward grabbing hold of a branch pulling his body upwards. Giving him a higher point of view int he woods

Thunrian: ( http://youtu.be/0742cxw3moA ) The moment Lu had been sliding down he'd be met with a rapid spinning Keyth in the midst of his high velocity slide. " AGGGGGGGH!" He'd shout at the top of his lungs. Doing a rapid spinning kick from out of nowhere, his body moved like a spinning top. Which if connected it'd smash into Lu's ribs snap his spinal cord in half by the sheer force of the blow itself. Although, if Lu dodged the strike the tree limb would litter shatter from the sheer force Keyth had placed into the strike, his leg hadnt even stopped then going so far as breaking the tree in half with the sheer demonic force Keyth had input into the strike. If Lu had dodged the Kick, Keyth would landed on one knee Keyth would have turned to eye the young man. And no matter where he had landed from the strike he would have took off towards the young man in attempts to decimate him with his Yamisuki swinging the blade out with inhuman strikes and speed that if Lu didnt dodge the strikes he'd be slashed open with intense 6 inch gashed and slashes in his body from keyth's cleaving sword style techniques. " I SEE DENSUKES TAUGHT YOU WELL! BUT ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!" Keyth said tossing Yamisuki into a tree above there heads by 5 feet with his right hand. The blade would get stuck within the limb of the tree while his left hand reached out for one of the three blades on his hip and then his right hand gripped another. Tossing the last one into his mouth he'd bite onto it and get into his three bladed style. Taking a full 6 foot leap away from the young man Keyth would have began to swing the two blades in his hands while the other sat in his mouth. ( http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lh3sbrkDVz1qfl0kvo1_500.gif ) " Let's see how you fair... With a bit of pressure!" He said waving his hands around and twisting the blades in a rapid succession the point they became like razors in his hands as he swiftly twisted them left and right up and down in an inhuman flow of skill. " I see you know a bit of tracking yourself... pretty quick on your feet to. But things are different out here... you dont even realize it... those birds..." The birds that had flew by Lu's that he slung his blade at to get out of his way had all left small little cut's on his skin that he wouldnt even have been able to feel due to there rapid speed when they flew away from him. " What do you do...When your body starts to fail you... and your senses start to numb. What do you fight with when your body doesnt respond to you..." On the birds bodies they had been coated in with a small dose of posion that had a numbing factor. When Keyth had sent his soliders ahead he had planted the birds in various areas throughout the jungled area so they'd hone in on Lu from the scent he had obtained prior with the stone. Due to Keyth being in the jungled area days prior he had this area rigged... this whole jungled area was a death trap. " Your senses will start to dull out, those birds werent just normal birds... becareful of all of your surroundings and learn to trust nothing. Do you understand!?" Keyth said tilting his head down. " When your body starts to fail on you... then you must use your surroundings to help you, your enviorment. When your opponent has you cornerd dont be afraid to throw some dirt in there eyes!" ( Meaning, create your surroundings around you, like i just did with those birds. Because you used them in your post I was able to manipulate them with plot. Due to me stating Keyth being here alot longer then Lu had been. Use plot and use your surroundings, example. Creating quick sand in the middle of the battle field. Or something in that nature could be anything really. Give it a shot yourself.) Lu's body due to the posion would start to feel heavy... as if his limbs were losing the ability to move on there own. His eyes sight would have started to go hazy and even his hearing would start to deafen out. " Tell you what... you survive the night! And I'll get you the cure for it myself! BUT GET READY BOY WONDER BECAUSE HERE I COME!"-c-

Thunrian: ( http://youtu.be/o79_lScf9Cg )Keyth would have leaped in the air and quickly closed in the gap between him and the young man within an instant, swinging his arms and body around to create a vortex of strikes before he closed in on Lu with a swift 360 spin montage of blade strikes, 33 strikes in all in the swift flurry which if connected would have decimated the young man with 6 inch gashes all through his body leaving him near death within the first 2 seconds of the strike. Once and if it would have connected Keyth would then stabbed all of his blades into the ground and attempted to end it with a hard cleavering punch.( http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140317211816/yakuza-mob-roleplay/images/4/4f/Tumblr_mfvq0pMynO1r7guhqo1_500.gif) Which if connected would have blast Lu's broken body into the tree, forcing it to split in half and into another tree behind him where he'd crash into it if his punch connected that is. The force of the strike would have shattered his sternum and sent his body into a hellish shock. Although if the blade flurry had been evaded he would leaped back by 5 feet and lashed out with another method of attack towards the young man. Attempting to use one of his bladed techniques The Oni Giri. (??? Oni Giri?, literally meaning "Demon Slash"): A three-way simultaneous slashing attack. Keyth crosses his two swords across his chest and places the blade in his mouth horizontally behind them. Keyth then approaches the target with an emmese speed and attempts to cut through the young man by swinging the swords across his chest, resulting in a descending diagonal-crossing slash from both swords while the mouth blade performs a horizontal cut from the right side depending on which side of his mouth he positioned the sword's main blade at. Attempting to cleave off Lu's head with the blade in his mouth. " HAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! C'MON WONDER BOY! WERE JUST GETTING STARTED!" -e-
