Investigation time..
(http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=dyTkXs4PPXg ) “chick-chick-BOOM!” A smoking hole steamed from inside of a steel wall. Densuke was wearing Red Dawn gauntlet on his wrist, but it was different than the rest. Since keyth’s funeral went astray, Densuke watched the footage over and ove again. The kpd’s mysterious colored eyes. Yani’s meniachial calling of the marju jitai, and kpd, even crashing the place. The key elements that he got from that video revealed keyth’s body had been taken..which isn’t something Densuke needed. If one thing was for sure: Keyth was alive. Barely…but alive indeed. Densuke would adjust his gauntlet a bit. He’d studied Ayperos original designe for ballistic guantlets, similar to the ones the machine from the anime Big-O used. When it hits something, a cylindrical like extention on the elbow of the gauntlet will push in, adding more kentic force behind the blow resulting in a violent and fire explosion meant to peirce through objects rather than spread outwards. It was….a little violent for densuke’s nature, but as of recent events, it might be something he needs. “Alright…I think I’m ready for tonight.” Densuke would walk from the test lab, disbandoning the gauntlet, and steping into the dress chamber, placing on the Black Dusk suit, suitable for night missions more so than anything. Densuke would hop in the Black Bird Jet, and proceed through the underground runway, taking off into the night sky. Once he hit a low altitude, the stealh cammo would take effect, and he’d fly at low and silent speeds towards the beach..where the Iron Grip club used to be. Keyth’s pride and joy, his dojo. Densuke would open the emergency hatch, and descend down ward, landing in a squat on the ground, his black cape slowly fluttering over his being, encasing his body like a cloak. He’d stand and look at the remains…the blood stains remained of certain people. Close ones to the arasumar and Keyth himself. Densuke’s cowl and contacts went to unison work, reading chemical signatures, DNA scans, bullet residue, and harmful toxins that might have come from the area. “Hmm..so these are some few good KPD gone bad? Doesn’t explain why they’d do this..not even colt. Is that inhumane. Could Yani have ties to the KPD as well? Colt would never…he hates the Yakuza with a passion.” Densuke’s mind went to work deducing theroies abroad. “Yani only came for the body…the rest he was just showing off his ties and connections. Luckily he was stopped. Lu didn’t get footage of who however..hm. Must have been other personal ties to Keyth and I. Densuke would look to the ocean. “They’re escape route as clear as day. Why else would they come here, without a back up plan. Leaving on land would’ve been suicide. The real question is..” Densuke would walk through the sand and stand at the edge of the beach, the tides of the waves rolling in sutbley. “Where and how far did they go…” Densuke’s whitned eyes in the cowl would squint as he continued to theorize in his mind. The user possesses unnaturally high skills in investigation and can uncover even the most elusive of secrets with enough effort, so eventually Densuke would deduce, that Keyth, who is not only an onihoruda, but something special of origin. Whatever the toxin was, that was suppose to kill him, his body must have mutated or adapated in someway, developing possibly an immunity…why else would they take his “dead” body if it wasn’t for research.” Densuke thought to himself. “.With keyth’s body parts…they could manufacture onihoruda…” Densuke clenched his fist. “I’ve got to find them as soon as possible…” It all became clear as densuke’s Intuitive aptitude, which also called Discernment or Instinct, is the ability to "just know" personal information about an object, subject, or occurrence, including sensing how others will react to something that the user does or when something is about to happen. He now had what he needed In a brief period of time and stood over looking the ocean pondering his next move.

 LaxusDreyar : -(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lP_anjF6rA) The waves crashing into the ocean hits Duke’s ears as he slowly walks down a path next to the beach. It’s one of those paths that bikers and runners or even walkers come on to just to pass the time on the beach. The sun has begun to set and the sky quickly takes a bright orange-redish color. He stops and the wind coming in from the ocean pushes his long black hair back softly. He takes in how peaceful the ocean and the sky look as if nothing of war or death had been happening this last month. In front of him he finds a nice bench that gives him the perfect view of the sandy beach and the wonderful sky. If you didn’t know who Duke was, he sure looked like a peace loving guy right now. He slowly sits down on the bench and in his left hand is a manila covered folder with a stack of stapled papers inside. He slowly extends his arms above his head and stretches out a bit before getting comfortable in the chair. He opens up the folder in front of him and a picture paper clipped to Yani Farhan’s fire with the Goliath Logo imprinted on the corner. As he reads the file he asks into his speaker which is currently comm’d to the frequency that matches him to Alfred back home.-“So Al, what’s the deal with this guy? Just another guy trying to beat out his father’s old shoes?”- Alfred’s voice than comes through the earpiece-“I guess you could say that, Sir. As the data recovered by your recording at Keyth Tasanagi’s funeral continues to get analyzed he does speak of a strong remembrance of what his father has done for the Kagemaru and the Tasanagi family.”-Duke rubs his chin with his hand and continues to investigate on his own-“But that doesn’t fully explain his motive at the funeral. If he wants to show up his father I can understand that…but he already had the Kagemaru. Keyth represents a threat as he too is a Tasanagi…but last I remember of it, he didn’t want anything to do with Kagemaru…Maybe something had changed.”-He looks up at the beach, watching over the horizon and says-“One thing is for sure…Keyth isn’t dead…”-Alfred quickly asks-“Why is that, Sir?”—“Because no one takes a dead body…especially after a week had passed. The data they can receive from a, what is now, over a week old body is very small to none. By now the organs have already began to decay…Also, they had the chance to take him when they ‘killed him’ and they didn’t. When I showed up they could have taken him and we wouldn’t have been able to stop it. But now…Now we work to find any and everything we can to find where they are keeping Keyth.”-Alfred then asks-“Well sir…Why not just attack the Kagemaru HQ and take all their intel? You have the force to make the attempt to do so. Even you could rage a lot of hell in there without being stopped. Goliath has been authorized to make that happen with Operation Cleanse.”-Duke slowly shakes his head-“We HAD the clearance to do so. Now when I bring up Kagemaru at all to Colt he quickly shoots it down…I believe he has been compromised.”-“What makes you say such a thing about your Commander!?”-“His eyes Al...He had the same eyes as those KPD goons that attacked the funeral. I don’t know what it means yet…but I know it isn’t normal…And I know it isn’t Colt. Cleanse was his pride and joy and I know he wouldn’t let anything interfere with it…But right now, my duties are to take down Osoremaru and the job will get done…I just have to do this for Keyth.”- After analyzing all the data he had gathered from Keyth’s “death” and the funeral hit, Duke needs more info about what happened at the funeral. He stands up from the bench and begins to walk down the beach. Luckily for him, the Dojo wasn’t too far from where he was. Within a few minutes he finds himself at the remains of the Dojo Beachside. He begins to walk on the carbonized sand from the massive explosion that had taken place here. He also sees where Damian had left the sand in perfect state from where he and his Dragon Lord were standing. He bends down and quickly takes a sample of the sand that had been charred because it may lead to find out what exactly that blast smoke is that creates such a powerful blast. He analyzes the beach some more, grabbing DNA fragments, clothing items and even some samples of Howlers DNA due to getting the shit kicked out of him by Damian. Duke slowly begins to walk towards the actual dojo itself and when he does, he is surprised to find himself not the only one trying to find the truth. As he gets sight of The Red Dawn, Duke says to him-“Well hey there Superhero. You trying to find out what really happened to Keyth too? I’ve been at it non-stop…Got a few leads on certain things that pertain to the cituation….but none on actually finding out where they took him. You find anything good to run on yet?”-

Densuke would continue to look at the sea, pulling out a holographic keyoboard, on his watch. He would start typing in coordinates, to the Ryoji tech satellite. Ryoji Tech Super Satellite: A satellite that lays in orbit under a solar powered cloaking device, that is power by ultraviolent, and solar rays. It's made of a combination of Ragnainium/Ragnite and Titanium metals for ultimate durability, and longevity. It gives high tech operation to all Ryoji files all over the world, and even has wireless links to the KPD satellite, and even one unsecure government sattelite. This device won't be found however as iin addition to a cloaking device, it has a feild of sensory jammer that causes it to be just another space on any and all technological scanners. They device emits a constant chaff grenade signature, rendering any techology too close to it unable to detect it it.( http://yakuza-mob-roleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Ryoji_Tech_Inventory#Tracking ) He heard a familiar voice as he began accessing it. “Ah, Duke. I had a feeling you’d be investigating the scene as well. Seems we have a common interest, and a common foe.” He’d hear the rest of what Duke had to say before replying. “Sorry. I’m about as dry on results as you are. If your like me then you’ve probably figured out he’s in the ocean floor at the moment, wth keyth’s body. But. As we speak im hacking a government satellite, to record all recorded sonar and underwater activity in the past week. We’ll have him in no time once I pinpoint the location.” Densuke would continue pushing key’s until a red warning sign popped up denying him access. “. . . .Duke. Don’t. Move.” If Duke looked around he’d see densuke’s body littered in red dots. Sniper dots. His own body would be littered in them as well. “They cut me off from my connection. They knew they couldn’t hack my tech, so they shut down the satellite towers in a few mile radius, preventing wireless interface…clever. Might be a bit difficult to use tracking tech to find their were about. Duke, snuff out as many as you can. I’m going to make this easier for the both of us…I have a hunch. Drop smoke bombs in three. Two. One.” Densuke would lash out his cape, causing a distraction and the snipers would instantly begin shooting at him. The bullets would be armor piercing, and if duke properly moved he wouldn’t be effected, however what the snipers thought to be Densuke was actually a new invention he was testing, known as the carbon copy. Encased in a sphere, once it makes contact with the air, it expands and compresses into a likeness of a pre modified image of the users choosing. This copy   can solidify, and is filled with red liqud dye, to give the appearance of it bleeding or taking damage. As the carbon copy was shot, a thick puff of smoke would begin to spread forth and enlarge the area, slowly spreading outwards, concealing the presence of the two but only for a moment. Each sniper was about a mile and a half away from their position. In total about 30 of them scattered in various hidden areas along the sand, and any form of vision node via technology is being disabled due to no wireless network enablement’s in the area. Densuke would run through the smoke, calculating the trajectory of the laser, he saw pointed the closest to him. It only took one glance to see what he was looking for, and as he found it, he’d leap into the air with a front flip, the KPD officer in position, and Densuke would perform an aerial axe kick to the man’s shoulder, popping it completely out of place and shattering the shoulder blade. To complete his dissension, Densuke would quickly grip the man in a strangle hold and let the air leave his lungs, before he slowly and seldom passed out. The taze effect did little to an insulated suit, as such, Densuke would begin rummaging around with the Sniper riffle, and the soldiers tech. “it’s gotta be here somewhere….Ah ha.” The beach fell silent, as the snipers lay in the shadows waiting for their chance at the men. Densuke was fiddling around with the helmet in the suit, and the sniper rifle.

LaxusDreyar: -Duke listens to Densuke as he talks about how Keyth would most likely be somewhere at the sea bed, rather than on the mainland. Duke agreed that it could be a good place to look but he doesn’t want to say something is one hundred percent until it happens. Duke watches as Densuke goes at it with his device trying to get into his satellite and work his magic. Then when the red screen comes up, it catches Duke’s attention. He says to himself-“Uh oh, that can’t be good.”- (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgRAF4sC2pg) Duke looks at the two of them now as they are quickly covered in bright red dots. This causes Duke to sigh and then a small smirk grows on his face as he says to Densuke-“We can never just go out and do something…We always get attacked.”-Duke then looks at the reader who is reading this post and gives them the blankest of all the stares he can give. He then follows Densuke’s request and readies his smoke pellets that are attached to his utility belt. When given the command, Duke slams these pellets into the ground and they quickly burst into an all-black smoke cloud. The bullets start raining down on them now and Duke quickly reacts with the best way he can. Using all of his training his body begins to react, swiftly evading these bullets with quick motion and fluid decisions. He begins to sprint down the path now while in the smoke, twisting and turning his body to avoid the rounds coming down range. He knows that Densuke can handle himself and that there is no major need to worry about him. (http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140329043224/yakuza-mob-roleplay/images/9/92/Zack-Bullet-Dodge.gif) As he goes through these motions, his two Colt M1911’s spring out from within his forearms and he catches them in his hands with his pinky finger resting upon the triggers. Once the weapons are locked cocked and ready to rock, Duke says to himself-“It’s Dangalang time!”- And he quickly extends his arms outward and begins to unload his rounds into the nearby soldiers in the area. Soldiers quickly become hit by the large .45 caliber rounds that quickly fly out of the smoke. As they leave the smoke barrier, the blackness would vortex around the round; making it look badass as fuck. Duke begins to run once again now as he mows down an entire line of area with his rounds! Once he has to reload he quickly dispels the dry magazine while running and his forearm mechanism quickly places fresh mags inside of them.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXqtVDzzgCU) As he runs, he leaps on top of a small two foot wall where a Maru-Jeitai was covered down on and he quickly unloads a few rounds into the helmet of this soldier. Duke looks up to see multiple men and he quickly leaps into the air, completeing some barrel rolls while he is at it. The soldiers open fire into the air but Duke’s body moves so fast in this air roll that the bullets zoom right past him. He does this roll to gather as much energy as he can! Once he begins to descend down to the floor, he thrusts his right arm back and yells out-“EAT THIS!!!”- His fist collides with the ground as he impacts and the ground below them would instantly begin to lift and break apart as if a 9.8 magnitude earthquake had just erupted in this small and limited area. (http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view5/2565364/sakura-ground-punch-o.gif) The Maru Jeitai begin to fall in-between the large rocks as the place gets even more destroyed than it was before! After creating the punch, even Duke has to begin to maneuver his way out of getting eaten up by Mother Nature. Once the rocks stop shaking an dmoving out of place, Duke finds himself on the side of a rock, keeping cover from snipers and he looks around to see what Densuke had been doing this whole time. With his scouter down he can’t trace Densuke but it’s a good thing Duke doesn’t rely solely on the scouter. He begins to sniff the air, once again going back to his Animal ways. He quickly gets a bead on Densuke’s scent and he quickly moves his body to where Densuke is. He quickly gorills jumps and slides across the rock to make the process faster. Once he reaches where Densuke is, he remains low and vigilant. He then asks-“What are ya doing now, Wiz Kid? You think that things got a way to get comm back? Or at least get us out of here?”-

Densuke would be tinkering around with the sniper rifle modifiying it as best as he could. “Sit back, and load your gun…we’re gonna play a game of “pop goes the weasel”.” Densuke would remove the helmet off of the man, and peer inside it, able to see that the maru jitai were able to communicate with each other via a wireless internet link on a private server. Densuke only needed to glance at it once before figuring out the locations of every other KPD operative on the field. They however still had the advantage of being hidden. Densuke would mount the sniper rifle from the cover position he had, leaving it there, before pulling out his cryptographic sequencer. In less than a minute, he’d hack into the Maru Jitai suits, private network. “Cover your ears…you won’t wanna hear this.” Densuke would push a button on his halogrpahic keyboard, and seemingly nothing happened. Until a loud amount of “BEEEZERKS” could be heard, followed by “AGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!” Bodies would begin poping up. The maru jitai’s suits were malfunctioning, how? Densuke hacked their server, to reverse the electric current flow, causing it to shock the wearer of the suit, rather than the person outside of the suit whom may touch it. “Pick em off…” Densuke would mount the sniper rifle. While seemingly this martial arts maniac didn’t seem like he’d know his way around a gun, Densuke over time has developed a sense of enhanced marksmanship. (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Enhanced_Marksmanship ) Thus, he had some form of “mental lock on” which allowed him to effortlessly prescope out his targets and shot accordingly. “BANG!” the first shot was fired, and Densuke managed to peirce the armor of one in the shoulder. “BANG BANG BANG BANG~” Densuke would cock the gun each time as needed, before firing the next shot, managing to almost every target he amied for, the moment their bodies rose up, not even half a second after that. Densuke only shot about fifteen, meaning duke would have the other ones to deal with. This maru jitai had little ammo on him. “I’ve got about six shots left…hunt t hose fuckers down, I’ll cover you.”

Myst: -Duke watches as Densuke works with the sniper rifle. Duke smirks a bit as he imaged in his head how he could properly use that sniper rifle. As Densuke tells Duke to load his gun, Duke looks down to make sure he is good to go. His extended mags hold up to twenty rounds which comes in handy a lot of him. As Densuke tinkers with the helmet and gets all Superhero on Duke, the Super Soldier’s ears pick up on footsteps coming closer towards them. He says in a whisper-“They are trying to flank us…You almost done over there?”- That is when Densuke tells Duke to cover his ears. Duke raises a brow at that and suddenly the loud BEEEZZERKS sound is activated and the screams of the men around them begin to fill the air. Duke turns in the direction with all the suffering soldiers and raises his weapons up in front of him. Before he knows it, Densuke begins to fire the sniper rifle at the soldiers and actually making contact with them. He sees that Densuke is hitting the shoulders in the shoulders or chest and he quickly begins to run towards the screaming. As he does this, Duke steps on a large boulder and leaps high into the air. He yells out to Densuke-“Lead the target!”- This is a shooting term used to hit moving targets on the battlefield. Contrary to popular belief, shooting is an extremely difficult thing to master. Measuring distance, speed velocity, bullet drop, wind and other factors that play into the motion of the bullet make shooting an art in its own right. Leading the target is a technique shooters use to hit moving targets easily and quickly. Basically speaking, if you aim right at a target while they are moving, you will miss depending on the distance between the shooter and the target. To be able to hit a moving target, a shooter places the crosshairs of his scope in front of where the target is moving. Depending on how far away the target is, the shooter will adjust small or big. If Densuke were to understand this shooting term it would help aid him in hitting the target in a more vital area instead of just hitting them in the shoulder.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCiifu6dV2s) Once Duke’s body lifts into the air he begins to spin around like a top with his arms extending outwards. His eyes scan the area and the scouter helps pinpoint the location of his enemies. While spinning, Duke begins to fire his pistols and his .45 caliber rounds begin to rain from the sky. The bullets begin to penetrate through the helmets of the Maru Jeitai as the Uranium rounds overpower their defenses. One by one the men begin to go down around him. After a few seconds of this, Duke’s body lands on the ground and he keeps his weapons crossed in front of his chest. The smoke from his barrel lifts around him as he says-“And that is how you get it done…”-When Duke slowly begins to stand back up he hears the voice of someone with a thick Albanian accent-“Why don’t you fight me like a real man…”-Duke slowly turns around to see a large man, similar to his size, with a white mask covering his face. (http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111226230323/marveldatabase/images/a/ab/CaptainAmerica_Vol2_03_Pg17_Crossbones.jpg) Duke spins his pistols around and places them back within his forearms as he hates being challenged from disrespect. Duke slowly begins to un-button his top and tosses it to the side, revealing the mechanics that lie underneath his arm sleeves. His tattoo’d body has all types of things written on him that hold high meaning.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7GmpJ-SxAk) Duke slightly bends his knees and raises his hands up to his face and makes the “Come at me” motion with his fingers. The masked then charges at Duke and they both fire powerful right hand punches. Their fists meet in the middle and their colliding powers cause a shockwave of energy to burst around them. The two quickly begin to exchange blows but Duke begins to play with the opponent as his speed and fluid motion is almost untouchable. As the opponent strikes with punches, Duke slides his body left and right, twisting his body around the arm as if it were just an obstacle. As the masked man throws a powerful right punch, Duke uses his parkour style of fighting to leap over the opponents arm with a gorilla jump. Duke places his hands on the top of the opponent’s fist and his legs quickly raise up as he were to gorilla jump over a simple obstacle. As the legs come between his arms, he thrusts body legs forward and he cracks the masked man in the face with a powerful drop kick. This causes the masked man to fly back and slide across the floor for ten feet. After the kick, Duke land’s on his back and quickly front hand springs himself back to his feet like Captain America. The masked man slowly stand back up to his feet. And shakes his head as he is a little dazed from the kick. Duke quickly runs forward now as he is trying to end this fight quickly! The two fighters clash once again as Duke begins to jump on the offensive. The masked mask swings his arm around with a strong right hook but Duke simply ducks down and throws ten powerful gut strikes that look like a total blur. This causes the masked man to grab onto his gut with his right arm from his ribs practically shattering from the punches. After the masked man staggers back a bit leaps into the air, spinning around as his body rises up a few feet. He swings his right leg around to draw the eye of the opponent as his body spins to make it look as though he is trying to deliver a powerful right head kick. The masked man ducks down a bit to avoid the kick and Duke’s body continues to twist while in the air. Using his right foot to draw attention, with his body spinning around he thrusts his left leg into the face of the masked man. (http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view3/4001689/boyka-o.gif) The impact of Duke’s foot on the face of the masked man causes him to front flip onto his back! He spews out blood from within his mask as Duke’s foot dug into his skin like a knife. When the masked man lands on his back, he is unconscious but still breathing. Duke looks down at him and says-“Don’t challenge me again…”-Duke slowly begins to walk away now as he makes his way back to Densuke. If Densuke is still where he was shooting, Duke would look at him and ask-“Are we good to go now? Let’s hurry up and find Keyth before more of these guys come out of the woodwork.”-

Densuke finished up, his round of non lethally wounding the men. Headshots weren’t an option for him. Though killing can be necessary, to many casualties weren’t necessary, especially for this investigation at hand. Densuke then tossed the sniper aside, and stood as Duke finished them all of simultaneously, with advanced marksmen like shooting. Densuke took in the scenery, watching everything. “He’s a lot different from the man that was sleeping on my couch a few years back…a god damned solider now, that he is.” Densuke would turn however to see that a mysterious appearance of a new man had appeared…and formally challenged Duke to hand to hand combat. Densuke simply stood back, wanting to see more of dukes growth over the years. The fight ensued and the shockwave caused densuke’s cape to flutter violently. The fight ensued, an exchange of combinations and great hand to hand from the both of them. Densuke studied it vigorously…each movement appeared to his eyes, and was burned into his mind like a memory card saving data. “Impressive Duke. I see why you and Keyth are so compatible as fighters.” Densuke would look as Duke spoke about leaving. In the horizon, there was marching abroad, and more of them were on the way. “yeah..let’s jet. Go our separate ways. Keep in close contact. We can solve this thing quicker together, than apart.” Densuke would break into a sprint, and deploy his grappling hook, sinking it to the ledge on a building, and swinging into the night back to base.
