Ark 25/Episode 16: Seeking out the Maiden

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqhDFYSlj0U ) Kin would have been riding a SUV like with large turret gun like features at the top. It had been a lovely day on the Skylands. Kin had reunited with Grey, and Tahira for there journey ahead. Kin had looked into possible information in High Tree. This Maiden that Lyacon had spoken of... She had to have some kind of knowledge out in the world. Especially in places like this. Kin had searched up and down through the book of Wolves but all he had found had been that she was the bringer of destruction and misfortune. And even said that this Maiden was of Wolf blood. He needed to find her. He needed to find her before Lycaon did. But... first things first. He had to shake off the Bandits that had been chasing him and the gang. " KEEP EM OFF ME! " He said a bullet pinged near his head.

Tsukimi had been manned on the side of the car with a Turret, and Tahira on the roof cannon/talloon. It was basically a tank placed on a SUV's mainframe. 40 cars raced behind the gang in hopes of killing them! They had something with them that the bandits wanted. Women, especially the Kind like Grey and Tahira. They were high market priced. As Kin raced through he'd trust them to keep onto his back and make sure they did die! All head to do was get them to where they needed to get! All in one piece. They drove over many obstacles maneuvering there way through and taking down anything that they could as they raced through the sands. Old regents of Bandit King's old Gang. They were out for Kin’s head as well, gunning him down in hopes of killing him and taking the girls. They'd have there tasks, 15 on the right, 15 on the back. 30 in all now. And the two of them had been tasked with doing just that.

Meanwhile....

Said that she was a threat to humanity and to capture her immediately. And her Omega Gene levels are off the charts. She’s about a S rank if not higher. " He said studying the girl in her plasma caging. " Tell Aretmis to come down here, Keep an eye on her." He said pointing at Naomi. " Listen Miss... your a prisoner of war right now. Under PMC code we have to fulfill this Contract. And under ....President Yani's laws. We have to make you register where we will then dean weather.. you can walk freely amongst the world..." Hiro said looking off to the right, even from a distance. Yani had been pulling at his string. " If you need anything. Artemis will provide anything. We don’t want to hurt you, I promise. " Hiro said nodding his head before he patted David on the shoulder. David sighed making his way up the stairs with Hiro. " Well... she is kinda cute...." David said in that gruff tone of his.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRTi4hvJhKY) Syl's grin was spread wide across her face as she tore through the flesh of another villager, their shrieks of pain echoing in her ears. She sliced through each human easily, like a hot knife through butter. Weaving through the crowd she mercilessly cut through them, as hordes of spiders caused panic and terror as the bit anything they could find. Syl laughed manically as she made it to the last live person, even though everyone was dead their corpses were moving, due the the sheer amount of spiders that were around them. They had thought Syl was a lost child...as had every village before this one. They took her in and once they settled in she'd strike. As Syl approached the last live man he scrambled to get away from her, only to be caught by the ankles with her hair. She slowly brought him into the air, his screams of fear made Syl smile, as she began to slam him into the ground (https://thepantlessanimeblogger.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/bloodc.gif) over and over and over until he was nothing more than a bloody husk. Syl then flung him behind her his body thudding off in the distance, as she turned and picked the nearest body. She slid to the floor and stared as spiders that had previously been feasting on moved away from it to allow Syl access to it. A woman...she had been with child. Syl's hand flew into the woman's stomach as she gripped the fetus and tossed it aside. Nobody had been spared Syl's latest rampages. Men, Women, Children they all died, the only thing known was that a girl with black hair showed up, hordes of spiders and the severe mutilation of the bodies. Standing up Syl brushed herself off, Syl was only wearing a white dress that was smeared with dried blood, and torn in places. Heading into on of the homes she began to spin a web inside it coating almost the entire inside of the house in webs. She allowed the spiders to run wild, consuming the corpses as she lay suspended a few inches off the ground hanging in her webs, her red eyes fixed on the door as she let her mid wander. "Talon..." she whispered out. She...wasn't going to get into that. Deciding she wanted to rest a bit longer than usual using the spiders in the town to secrete a gas, one of her new powers unknowingly given to her by Fuzen, Syl could project Illusions. This gas wasn't too complex of an Illusion but it made the town jut seemed deserted...like nobody was there.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAYL0nG_ZfU ) "KEEP EM OFF ME!" Tahira would’ve hear Kin bellow at the two as clear as day over the noise of the rapidly flowing gun fire that was coming their direction from both the right side of the SUV and in the rear. Tah herself in the midst of trying to reload her weapon as 40 plus cars prolly more continued their chasing. All its drivers and riders were apart of the dearly departed Bandit King’s own personal parade of shits. No doubt all sore in the ass that Kin had kill off their oh so not beloved leader. “Stupid shits.” She mutter jumping back up into the cock pit seat, loading the barrel of the cannon and letting several round of ammunition of directly to the rear of the vehicle, her newly acquired sight giving her shots that even with her acute vision she’d gained through her Warlock training she’d never in wildest dreams would get as the dark red headed beauty locked and loaded another round of ammo rotated the barrel of the cannon down with precision and began to open fire again. This time aiming at the main engine of hum-v hover cruiser, her pupils’ dilating with acute accuracy permitting her to almost see thought the metal that was over it before quickly locating her target and with her right index finger on the trigger completely open fire on it. The shell immediately taking to the air like a bat outta hell with the acceleration of 90 MPS before impacting itself into the hood of the vehicle causing it to be sent several yards back in wild uncontrollable flipping like motion before finally coming to halt midway on the ground and exploding once the wheels that were left still hanging onto it hit the earth.. The driver and whoever else was inside didn’t have prayer! And when it came to scum bags like them …that just the way Tahira liked it too as she veered the barrel of the cannon off in the direction of the next target this time aiming it low to the earth below a retro jeep styled vehicle opening fire once again. The shell going for the tank of gas that lay underneath striking it like a match would to gasoline and blowing it and several others away without so much as a hitch. “That’s 8 of you son of bitches nobody but your mamas will miss, and of you fucks 7 left to come it a taste of it?!” the 22 year would chant firing of her weapon again her Mission Mode going full blast her as she continued to lay into who all was left despite all swerving, jumping, and other shit that was happening while Kin was driving like wild man. During this Tahira would ask, “Grey, you okay down there?” her concern genuine of course towards her as kept to the task.

A few days after Tahira was brought back, they were already on the road once again, Grey sporting a new bracelet after her mini vacation back to her own village. It was silver and round, almost sharp. She kept it close to her, always having it at her hip. She was also avoiding eye contact with Kin, and now kept her hands covered by thick gloves. After they got into this strange vehicle of Kin’s it was like they were ambushed. Grey was put on the right side, given a heavy gun and then told to cover Kin. But what it all meant, she wasn’t too sure. Guns were never used in the tribal regions, so she was a bit baffled. She took out the small golden cylinders, and opened them up in her palm, sniffing it. She emptied them all out into her hand and into a small coin pouch. She got up and jumped out the side of the car, stumbling a bit as her feet hit the ground, but easily catching up, getting in front of some of the bandit’s cars and jumping onto the hood, kicking down the windshield of the front one, and throwing the powder in, lighting a match and throwing it in with it, the whole front of the car lighting on fire. The car swerved and she rolled off, grabbing onto the next one, and punching through that window, dodging the incoming bullets before reaching into the car and pulling one of them out, sliding into the car and kicking the other in the face, knocking him out. She pushed him out and took the wheel. She also had no idea how to drive, so she had just done what she had seen Kin doing and swerved the car into some other vehicles. Grey jumped out of that car and started running back to Kin’s car, throwing powder as she did so. She started sprinting and she grabbed onto the door, jumping back in, throwing a match behind her and lighting about five more cars. She snickered and grabbed more bullets. “Oh yeah, this is fun!” She grinned and was about to jump back out, when a bullet came in and got her in the arm, then she noticed a burning feeling in her back. She had gotten hit there too. But she felt none of the pain, fortunately for her. She was bleeding a lot though, but she kept filling her palm with gunpowder, ignoring the yells from her comrades.

A long haired brunette stood in the middle of the cage, with a fair complexion covered in a rather formal dress of white, black and red skirt with long sleeves, black ruffles at the end of them…it seemed a bit out of place for this era even but the woman looked lovely all the same with a round ruby red pendant stuck to the middle of the top, with the fabric hugging her arms to expose strong shoulders. Hands with long well kept manicured nails colored in bright red were currently trapped in shackles made from adamantium as piercing violet eyes flash between the two men talking. Pearly teeth flash a Cheshire smile that glows dimly in the dark cage as sharp nails tap against the metal binding her. " Listen Miss... your a prisoner of war right now. Under PMC code we have to fufill this Contract. And under ....President Yani's laws. We have to make you register where we will then dean weather.. you can walk freely amongst the world..." To this update on the woman’s incarceration she steps up to them, keeping a distance from the plasma all the while pupils narrow in to slits. “Register? What trying to make sure I don’t have rabies?” They treated her like some dog at the pound they needed to put into the system before it could be adopted. She wasn’t willing to wait around and see if she would be put to sleep or given to some unruly people. The two men then leave after informing her some Artemis person would be watching over her…She gazes down at the shackles now that she was left with privacy. They captured her easily enough…she hadn’t fought or resisted arrest as she was very much opposed to fighting humans unless it was absolutely necessary but once the big man had explained she would just be arrested she’d given up wanting to see exactly why she was placed in here…it seemed rather odd it was simply because of her power, she hadn’t broken any law as of late. Was someone specifically looking for her? The only intel she’d obtained is some man with the beginning of his name of Belza-…wanted her. She’d need more time to coax these people to keep talking but for now she’d enjoy the ride.

Meanwhile Artemis was currently stuffing her face with a sandwich until she bumps into Hiro who if he orders her to watch over the new prisoner she would do no problem of course not without a snarky comment thrown the Titans way. Naomi hears a newcomer and memorizes the interesting scent as a blue haired woman appears with a rather alarming assault rifle resting on her back. “What big eyes you have, grandmother.” Artemis joked all the while approaching rather closely to the cell to examine the wolf girl. “What a big gun you have…” Naomi retorted as their eyes lock. The sniper chuckles a little and points. “What this? Call me careful…” To this the wolf smiles some more and shows off the pretty bracelets currently on slender wrists. “I don’t blame you.”

“FALL BACK, FALL BACK! " The Bandits leaders said as they all pulled from the chase that ones whom had survived anyways. Kin looked back in the rearview mirror before he realized how close they had been to the High Tree Village. When they had gotten there. It would seem as though no one had been in the village at all. As if it had been a ghost town. A dead one. Kin's eyes looked over the area as the wind blew through his hair. An old lady knitting someone was in the middle of the village humming a tune of sorts. Kin looked over at Grey and then over to Tahira before exited the car first. Making his way over to the knitting older lady. " Excuse me..." He said squatting down in front of her. A smile broke across his face, and she returned the gesture. " Two beautiful women with one boy. What a lucky Youngman. Are they your wives? " Kin blinked a few times before scratching the back of his head. " No Ma'am. There not. Listen, i need your help. Do you think you can direct us to the Shaman? " She simply began to laugh before her eyes stared back into Kin's bright golden pupils. " The Shaman... is trying to treat those whom are suffering from the Black Plague. And none... survive the Black Plague. It consumes the Skylands, in a sea of Death. In a sea of carnage and blood. “Kin’s eyes slanted his eyes shifting into a bright red as they went into a slit. " It doesn’t... sound like your talking about a sickness. But more so... a person. " He'd say to her before he stood back up to his full height. The elderly lady simply began snicker. " Where... is the shaman. " He said to her with that demanding tone before the elderly lady let out a screech and knocked him back. As kin was knocked back to the feet of Tahira and Grey both he would looked up to see the women stand and soon disperse into an explosion of spiders. That skittered swiftly throughout the rest of the village. Kin stood and looked over at Grey and Tahira both. " We split up. Something’s not right here in this village. If you find anything, report back to me. I'll be within this area. Tahira to the right of the village. Grey you to the left. " He said making his way through the middle like he said he would as he began to open doors for each hut he'd come across. Only to continue to find... nothing. No bodies, corpses, no life. Not a Scent, Not a noise. Nothing. Everything was quiet, so quiet that he could hear Grey's and Tahira's hearts beating from where he stood... Something hadn’t been right here. Something... was wrong. And Kin knew it.

( Basically go find things, be creative. The Theme is a ghost town. You could run into a NPC or something of the sort. But if you do, make them seem... odd, or deranged. Almost kind of psychotic like. )

As they split up, in the distance a baby, wrapped in pink blankets would be screaming at the top of it's lungs. Her tiny fists balled in frustration she was just left, laying there. Nobody around to be seen. The poor wriggling baby would continue to scream, and whine. Being alone and hungry it was only natural it would make such a fuss, if any one of them would approach the baby, it would look at them and giggle. Weather or not they'd pick up the crying child would be their choice. But…who could really ignore the cries of an infant and not feel guilty. Especially in an abandoned town such as this? Where anything could happen to it.

Syl remained tangled in her webs, she'd has just eaten and was too lazy to move. Her red eyes closed in a nap like state, but she wasn't sleeping. She was resting before she decided to move on to the next village, Syl had gotten into the bad habit of wasting her 'food'. She's killed entire villages and only eats one of the bodies out of the few hundred she killed. Then leaving her spiders to devour the rest. She yawned and rolled onto her side, she wasn't sure but she felt the need to stay in this village, if only for a day longer. She felt spiders tugging at her hair as the climbed up and down the strands the little arachnids full themselves. Syl sighed and picked up a particularity big one letting it slide through her hands she looked at him and smiled, "So cute.." she breathed, smiling at it softly before she let it back on the floor, and it scurried out under the door.

Tahira took notice of Grey's on style of tactics, understanding as much as any just how foreign the ideal of using a gun is to most of the nomadic Skylanders as she herself was once also in the same predicament when she began her training with the Warlocks as a child. Nonetheless despite the lack of her knowledge what Grey did she approved of. Her own ears picking up the cheers she let off. "Nice job Grey, a tad bit crude but effective." Tahira smiled the keen scent of a coppery tang dousing the air just a bit as she herself continues to open fire the twits. "You've been injured. You best see that, don't worry I handle the rest of them." The 22 year would say giving a causal glance back only to see the village of High Tree rolling into view off into the distance. "FALL BACK, FALL BACK!" Tahira pick up clearly on the Bandit's new leader saying this, as those who'd barely escaped with there lives immediately ceased their pursuit or swerved off immediately to left in order to make a hasty retreat leaving the three freely able to travel straight off into the heart of tonight without any more interruptions. "That oughta teach ya!" She retorted still grinning as her dark red hair flowed in the hot dry wind her attention returning to the village as she jumped down from cockpit's seat. "It's been ages since ive been to high tree, I can't wait to see just how active of a place its gotten since vacating of the great outlanders from their own place of living." She added remembering Master Coxrin's reports of a massive vacation of other like Kin to the other Skyland towns and villages. But it was only once the three were inside of it that she'd discover that High Tree was anything but lively. Oh the contrary it was the opposite it was dead....or rather deserted to say the very least with the exception of a little old lady who'd seemed to be knitting and humming at the heart of the place. Of which Tahira found very disturbing to say the least as Kin look to her and Grey before exited first. The dark red headed beauty going for her two Scimitar blades they'd managed to retrieve from her place in Zarkland that lay carefully on a seat inside of their sheath as quite possibly Grey might have gotten out first to follow Kin whilst she did so. Tahira emerging from vehicle last revealing the grey tank, army fatigue shorts and dusty sneakers she had on with both blades perched high up upon her back. She'd listen to Kin speak, lowering himself to the old woman's level respectfully so that she wouldn't strain her neck too much when she replied back. A smile moved over her old wrinkled face as she spoke stating the obvious of her and Grey being with Kin before telling him how lucky he was to have them. Her question or not they were his wives prompting Tahira to immediately divert her head in order to hide the red that had planted itself in her cheeks as she shake her head wildly. "No Ma'am they're not. Listen I need your help. Do you think you can direct us to the Shaman?" Now this seemed like a simple question enough to Tah but it was the woman's laughter than made the hair on the neck suddenly stand up. Her statement regarding a Black Plague prompting Tahira motion her right arm back in order grasp the hilt of one of her blades as she began to get a wild sense of just where this was going the moment was standing back up at his full height, demanding to know the Shaman's where abouts. The old woman would immediately let a screech knocking him back so far that landed near her feet. "Kin are you alright?" She'd ask him immediately bending down to give him hand up as the woman stood and dispersed into a wave of spiders. That scattered themselves quickly throughout the village. Tahira slightly still in shock at what she'd just seen could only look on at what she'd seen rather speechless. Kin 's being the only thing that brought her out of it as he looked back to her and Grey both telling them that from here they'd split up and report back if they manage to find anything. "That's a pretty risky move for us do given what we've just seen." The Warlock in her kicking into full drive in under a minute of being given orders to leave and go right. "But...orders are orders. Come back alive okay?" Tah would reply giving her usual goodbye mantra she'd given all her students right before they'd leave for a mission, as she takes off herself towards the right as instructed leaving the others behind to do as was needed her keen eyes doing a slight sweep over her end of the town in the hopes being able to find something. But unfortunately no luck. No matter how many doors she kicked in, or windows she managed to jimmie open to unlock she didn't find a soul or body in sight. Her nimble feet running through the town effortlessly at rather alarming speeds. 'Now this is too fuckin weird how does an entire town full of people just up and vanish without a trace, no bones or...nothing its almost as if were dealing with a vampire or something...' her thoughts were interrupted by a rather unsettling sound. It was a sound that would most likely pull at the heart of any woman to say the least,  releasing in her the need to use her maternal instinct. But Tahira was far less than motherly to say the least....but babe's cries did spark her interest none the less to see if maybe its mother was with it and alive so she could get some answers here. Diverting from her path for a moment in order to find the wailing child all while unaware that what she would find might similar to what happened back in the middle of village with the old woman there. It didn't take long for 22 year old to find the child though there was no trace of a mother in sight. At least not by what she could tell as she sniffed through the air, but was also strange that though she could see the babe laying their pink blanket and hear her crying, she too gave off no scent either. "Tres weird...." Tah said out loud coming closer to it in rather cautious state not sure of what to make of it at the moment. Her thoughts trying think through the few lessons that she'd had with Kin about her new life and trying to make sense of it, her blade still enclosed carefully in her right hand as she completely approaches the crying child with its tiny fists and feet flailing around in the mist of its hunger fit.

Grey ripped off part of her shirt and grabbed a handful of dirt when they reached the village finally. She put the dirt in the bandage and then placed it on her wounds; the sand would cover the wound, stop the bleeding, and prevent the scent from being tracked. She followed Kin in and when he talked to the woman, she knew something was off. In Skyland villages guards made people stay ten meters back from the main gate in case of a raid. It was no surprise when she wasn’t really human, just spiders. “Yes, sir..” She answered when he gave her the order. Grey took off down the left side, and when she was out of view, she took off the bracelet and whipped out her Iron Thrust. It was a large circle, all around there were blades, and if she threw it fast enough she could cut straight through a person. She held it on her shoulder, walking around. Everything was strange about this village, it was empty, and the things that should have been torn or ripped.. well, it just wasn’t. Everything was in perfect shape. She opened up tents and in one of them, sat a man. He didn’t look at her, but she went over to him, reaching her hand out and pressing two fingers to his forehead. She tried to read his emotions, but he had none. She sighed, and removed her fingers, but he attacked her. She was pinned down, and he acted like he was trying to eat her. She punched him in the throat and his head flew off, like he was a doll. She shoved him off her and she jumped to her feet. “Dolls?” She cringed, she hated dolls. Grey walked out of that tent and a horde of them had banded outside. She smirked, “Good, you guys can help me with my training,” she took the circle in her hand and gripped onto it, flinging her arm and hand, hitting the dolls and cutting them up. She grunted as she did so, twirling it on her wrist, knocking away the ones around her. She turned and one of them grabbed onto her, but she pulled his arm off. Grey kept swiping and flinging her Iron Thrust, eventually beating down the last one. She was panting, cuts all over her shoulders and her hands bleeding through the fabric on her gloves. She pulled the gloves off and hissed at the pain, as she revealed her open scars. She had been practising all day and all night for the past week, and she still couldn’t stop cutting herself. But the blade was powerful, so she didn’t dare give it up. Grey put back on the gloves and continued through the village, getting to the very back eventually and sitting down on the ground, huffing. Whoever showed up first, she would nod, “They’re all dolls of some kind. No bones, no blood.. I fuckin hate dolls,” she growled at the last part. The pain she was in didn’t help her temper.

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB8dmmFxVl0 ) " Well ,well now... " A voice said that chimed sweetly behind Kin, a voice so sweet that it was only right that it be dripping with venom. As Kin turned to face this entity his eyes would have slanted and shifted to there crimson red. Her beauty was the typical norm. Large bust with ample hips and plump backside. She had a sway in her step and she seemed graceful. Like a bird. " The Master is out, so he sent me in his stead. " The female would have said as she stepped into the hut after Kin. " You haven’t figured it out yet? " She said looking around as she spun in a circle. " That this is an illusion... Yeah I figured it out when we first got here. " " So you haven’t alerted the others? " Kin tilted his head up. “Have you seen this place?" he said as the imagery shifted and dead bodies littered High Tree, Old, young, everyone dead. This one hut alone had 15 dead carcass’ bleeding and torn to pieces. " I sent them on there way to find the culprit. This isn’t chi based, it something much stronger that lingers over this place. But enough talk, what do you want. Im assuming your the bird that Lycaon had burn down the Tavern that night. " Kin said crossing his arms. " Indeed I am. It's nice to meet you in the flesh. I am Vezer My how long have i yearned to live again, to be one with mortals. Tell me Kin, will you court me? I wish to feel a main embed himself deeply to the pits of my swollen gushing cunt." Kin kept his eyes on her, ever speaking a word as she continued to spit put her bullshit before she saw the finger tips of his claws expand. “You’re no fun.” She said as wings sprouted from her back and she tilted her head to the right.

" Where is Lycaon. " " Or better yet..." Okami said interrupting Kin and stepping out from his body in front of him. " Where is the Red Maiden... " Okami said pointing at Vezer from a distance. But the bird like female simply began to laugh as she tilted her head back. " You think it'd be that easy? " Her wings sprouting from her back! She'd blast through the ceiling Leaving Kin with his thoughts. "... He knows where she is. " Okami said staring up at the ceiling. " He's going to find her before we do. And this isnt good. We must stop him. " " Your an Onigami! The Father of all wolves. You find her! " " I cant you fool. But.... Maybe... If i give you some of my chi again... " " No, not gonna happen. That kills me every time we do it!" " You selfish little twit! More will Die if you DONT! " Okami's words spitting back at Kin in the forms of blades as they hit there point dead on to the young man. " Fine.... Do it..." Kin said looking to the right with a scowl. Okami would have placed both of his hands onto Kin's forehead as he forced his chi throughout his body in a wave of sorts, coating him over in the blue aura before Kin's eyes began to glow blue as well and he dropped to his knees. " ..... " Kin held onto his head as he began to gasp for air. " Lions Corp... She's with Lions Corp...." He said panting blood leaking from his nose. " Then we must hurry... " Okami said going back into Kin's form. " Great.... " Kin said sarcastically. " TAHRIAAA GREYYY! " He said shouting out there names to call them back to him.

Meanwhile...

" Look at you. They kept you waiting here... just for me. I'll have to thank Belz for setting out that order contract. " Lycaon said as he made his way through the room with his head down. He'd wink at Artemis and using his Dark Hadou he'd levitate her into the air so she couldn’t move as he made his way over to the plasma gate, breaking it by touch alone. " Hello, my love. It's been awhile hasn’t it..." Naomi wouldn’t remember Lyacon, sure enough. The Soul of the Red Maiden travels from host to host throughout out time. So this form of the Red Maiden known as Naomi wouldn’t know a damn thing about Lycaon and there previous relationship. " Your just as beautiful... as i remember you. " He said smiling at her with that flawless tanned skin, and bright golden eyes. His dark locks of hair and that red streak that glided down the front of his face. He looked devilish. Just like all the others within The Tasanagi family lines. That blood of demons. His clawed finger tips would push her head up so he could get a good look at her before he'd wink. " Ive... come to take you home with me..." He said attempting to lock his lips onto her own. Which if he had been successful she would have been placed under a drone like trance where he'd smirk walking out with her. However if she wanted to fight that was always a thing. He had means to do what needed to be done. But if she hadn’t he'd guide her out of the room looking back at Artemis with a smile. " Tell your boss, his moneys in his account. Bye, Bye now..." He said winking at Artemis before he would have made his way out of the room.

Allowing the hilt of her blade to twisted around with a mere flick of her wrist, Tahira would turn the blade downwards finally piecing together pieces of this. "Sorry whatever you are but your gonna have try harder if you plan to get over on me." The warrior directing the end of her blade in the direction of what would've been it heart before plunging it unremorsefully. The end of her blade only to coming strike a rather large spider that was wrapped carefully in the midst of an illusion. 'So I was right' Tahira thought herself as the rest of dispelled itself as well revealing the trove of endless bodies that lay scattered about the place. There were at least fifty that littered the streets in which she stood alone. Not a soul was spared. It was disgusting to say the least. "What kind of monster would do this to an entire town?" She asked out loud, attempting to walk through endless sea of corpses in search of what had done this. Her golden orbs spying another spider as it extracted itself from the exposed brain matter they were feasting on. "A other one...wait..wait. The old woman, that baby, and now this...these spiders are all somehow connected to this. And ill bet if I follow that I can find put whose behind it" Tahira thinks as the spider takes off down the road in a certain direction. Tah started to take ofg after it but the sound of Kin calling her back prompts her stop and turning the other way. Her eyes glancing back to remember which way that went as she makes her way towards the point of origin of which the call came from, making sure that she didn’t get any blood or worst on her as trekked through the bodies.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8QTDnqWAEk) The Dolls that Grey was near, suddenly stopped and burst into webbing and spiders, that landed on Grey the webbing so sticky that she couldn’t possibly get out of. The spiders only spinning more webs onto her as she struggled, the faster the spiders would spin a web until Grey was completely immobilized. Then and image of Syl would walk up to her and look at her, a spider crawling along her face, up from her neck to her eyes and disappeared into her hair, She simply...stared at her before it seemed she melted away into a flurry of blood, suddenly Grey would see the true state of the village. Mangled bodies and slaughtered humans all around, as spiders desecrated their bodies. The thick clump of webbing that Grey was trapped in was raised into the air, to Syl, who was laying in tree branches, her long black hair swaying in the wind, leaning up she stared at Grey. A deep depression on her features, but only for a split second. Syl stood up and walked slowly toward Grey, and reached out to touch her hair, the sea-foam green strands running slowly through her fingers. She looked at Grey staring into her eyes, Syl's red slitted eyes looking unblinkingly into hers and whispered to herself looking at the ground she'd had just trapped her from. "It's so pretty..." she said before she jumped out of the tree, her own hair trailing behind her. Landing on the ground with not a sound.

Heading through the village Syl quickly found Kin and went to sneak up on him, she decided to bend an illusion around him she he could not see her. Syl sent spiders to scuttle near his feet, to make him look down. As a plant Syl crawled toward him, but it looked as if this Syl was severely beaten, she'd grab onto his pant leg and look up at him with tears in her eyes, as she suddenly burst into flames and faded away. Then suddenly where the fake Syl was plants erupted from the ground wrapping around Kin, in a tough tree like vine, that rose a few feet into the air. The real Syl walked to Kin, and looked up at him tilting her head like she normally did, but then she'd surprise Kin by speaking. "I knew it was you..." she said trailing off. "You look different." She stated then turned around, walking away from him. "I've grabbed you companion. The one with the pretty hair.." Syl said not looking at Kin. "She's not in danger...yet..." Syl turned to look at him as she induced another Illusion. It was back in Kasaihana, but It was Kin not Syl on the roof.

(In the Illusion) The Flames of the One Winged Dragon!!!!!!!!!!!!" Watching his move connect to Kin's body Max would watch her vanish into nothing due to the power of his move, this was Max's strongest move which is another reason it caused Kin to turn into nothing. Landing down fully on the roof he would shake his head " I had high hopes for you Syl.. To bad."

Kin would feel the same pain Syl felt, then burning...the agony as her flesh was seared from her bones. As the Illusion faded Syl would stare at Kin, her eyes narrowed as she sat down, running her hands through her she stared at Kin for a few minutes. "I died you know." Syl stated. "Then, I came back." She shake her head as if to shake her memories away, then she started speaking again. "Then I went to you...for help...and you..." She bit her lip, hard. So hard it began to bleed, clenching her fists she stood up in anger, glaring at Kin. "You had me locked up, and raped, you never let me explain! That gas? Wasn't poisonous. It was meant to paralyze you so I could explain..." She trailed off. "That's fine though..." she said as swarms of spiders began to move to their location. "Anything you wanna say?" She said to Kin before she turned her back to Kin, looking up into the sky tear finally falling out of he down her face.

Grey gasped and struggled in the webbing, unable to get out and the restraints just getting tighter. She grunted and saw the girl, looking at her confused. And then, the scenery changed, everything around her was rotting. She had flashbacks of her own village, the people even looked the same. She closed her eyes and looked away, cringing when the other female touched her. "If you harm me, you'll be in a world of hurt. And I'm not talking about someone saving me, I'm talking about how I'm going to kill you, kid.." When the other one left, she tried to reach her bracelet. Her arms weren't at her side and she was being held up in the air. She kept struggling and cried out in frustration and just started struggling. "HOW THE FUCK IS THIS DUMB SHIT SO MUCH STRONGER THAN ME?!" She growled at it and in her struggles, she dropped her bracelet. She stopped and clicked her tongue. "Tch.." She sighed and just laid there. "Maybe I'll nap..."

".... " The spiders that skittered across his feet had been alarming but Kin kept his cool. "... starting to become a reoccurring them..." He said looking around the room before he would have seen Syl... pulling at his pants legs. His eyes met her own and he stared dead set on her own. An emotionless, expressionless face. That is until she burst into flames. He took a step back, and then another Syl appeared. She spoke about sea-green hair. " Grey..." He said her name as if to correct her. Kin watched as he was placed within another illusion this time. He had been watching Max Serizawa perform an attack on him. And as he pulled his arms up in an X he'd shout at the top of his lungs before he engulfed in flame. And just like that... as quickly as it appeared, it ended. Kin gasped dropping down on one knee as he listened to Syl speak on about the things he had done to her. The Atrocities. The Evil deeds he had committed in his self destroyed form of justice. "I died you know. Then, I came back. Then I went to you...for help...and you...You had me locked up, and raped, you never let me explain! That gas? Wasn't poisonous. It was meant to paralyze you so I could explain...That's fine though..." He heard her pause before he began to stand up. Gasping for air. " Anything you wanna say?" She said to Kin before she turned her back to Kin, looking up into the sky tear finally falling out of he down her face.

(www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB9ZLvGi16c ) Kin began to pant as he stood to his full height staring at the back of Syl's head. "...Max..." He said putting him on his shit list. He closed his eyes looking off to the right. "  Damn it Syl.... No... No,No,No,No, No! It's not supposed to be this way... All of those people. You killed....all of those people..." Kin said as he clenched tightly to his fist. Closing his eyes before he'd shake his head. " Ive already apologized for what Ive done Syl. Ive paid ten times over for what Ive done to you. So you want to know... what I have to say.... Yeah I have something to say..." He says as he looks at the flood of dead within and around High Tree. His aura erupting from his form. " I should... HAVE KILLED YOU A LONG TIME AGO! " Kin said he dashed towards her with hellish speeds as he attempted to football tackle her through the wall so they'd end up out on the streets. Which if connected they'd be 5 feet apart. The Village littered in death. " Ive changed. Ive left that life behind me. Im a monster yes. But im not a Demon. Not anymore... " Kin said as he stared her down clenching his fist. " I have to Kill you Syl..." Kin said summoning his Yamisuki in his right hand. " What you’ve done here. Is unacceptable. " " Kin! You don’t have time for this... We have to find the Maiden. Right now! " Okami said from his body. " And this girl... she's too powerful you now. Cant you feel how much she's grown..." " I don’t care Okami... This is my fault. I should have never let her out of her cell back in the Asylum... Her hunger, it's gotten worse. These people died in this village because of me. Because I didn’t control her. Because I didn’t Kill her..." Kin said as his eyes slanted down into red slits. " I wont allow this. " He said pulling his blade up, and the image of Okami would have faded. " Im here to correct my mistakes from the past... Syl..." His clothing blowing in the wind.

Artemis watched the dark brunette closely….so far nothing interesting had happened and she planned on keeping it that way. “So what’s so special about you anyway? Hiro done near had a heart attack when your file came up.” At this, Naomi would merely shrug, the sound of the cuffs clanking softly. “Hell if I know why your boyfriends got a hard on for me.” It was pretty obvious those two were banging each other, she could smell them all over the other it was pretty strong to say the least. The sniper isn’t offended by the comment and merely grins, until her sonar hearing picked up a sound and she gets on high alert, tightening her hand on the grip of her rifle and quickly turning around to open fire on the person behind her but they were faster. She’s suddenly lifted up and frozen in the spot, teeth clenching as she glares at the intruder. ‘How the hell did he get past everyone….??’ She thinks to herself, finger itching to pull the trigger but even with her enhanced strength, whatever it was holding her back, it was keeping her from doing it. Naomi watches with a pleased smile, her wolf ears popping out and twitching playfully. “Tough break, blue puff.” " Hello, my love. It's been awhile hasn’t it..." At the sound of his voice she puts her attention on him and her smile fades, though she didn’t frown….she just watches him blankly as the cage is taken apart within seconds. His scent….a wolf? Something was a bit off with him though. His chi….dark hadouh. It was true, she didn’t know who this wolf was but she knew of her position as the red maiden learned a long, long time ago from her old pack…one of the many reasons she became a lone wolf and ran off. " Your just as beautiful... as I remember you.” To this Naomi gives out a wolfy purr. “Oh please, you’re making me blush.” She says playfully all the while trying to figure out how to escape though he wasn’t giving her much room to but it wouldn’t matter…her arms would shift in to shadows, the cuffs falling uselessly to the floor as she rubs her wrist. “I don’t know who you are but thanks. Now if you’ll move to the side Id like to get the hell out of here.” " Ive... come to take you home with me..." She’d been looking down at her hands not noticing just how close he’d gotten as his hand reaches for her chin to tilt her head up. “Whoa easy there puppy, buy me dinner fi—“ His lips lock with hers and her eyes widen before narrowing. Sharp red claws extend as she goes in to swipe at him but something was a bit off….she suddenly felt….calm almost instantly and relaxed against him as he pulls away and she spaces off, her pupils vanishing and just leaving a dazed expression on the strong wolf. Artemis watches as she continues to struggle until the man winks at her and leaves with Naomi following behind no questions asked. “Hey!! GET BACK HERE!!!” She was still stuck!! GAH Hiro wasn’t going to let her live this down she’d be hearing his shit for a week!! “OI!! DON’T WALK AWAY FROM ME!!”

She grunted as Kin tackled her into the wall, his shoulder met her stomach. She was knocked off her feet as they went crashing through the wall, Syl only flinched at the impact of the wall, hit her in the back. Syl awkwardly grabbed Kin's neck, her two year Panzer Kunst training coming into play as she tried to push her nano-spiders into his body through his neck his pores. The Spider Strike, one of Syl's most commonly used moves, the Spider Strike is a strike that delivers a quick succession of open palm strikes, in this case to Kin's neck right before the hit the wall. Syl covers most of the surface of her palm in various poisons that she uses to poison or insert tiny blood-cell sized spiders into a persons body. Once inside their body, Syl can command them to release poison, toxins, block blood vessels, or eat muscles. This technique can be deadly as in the middle of a fight the heart is pumping blood all around the body at an increasing rate. Circulating the Spiders all over their body making it easier for the spiders to get around. although she didn't activate them...just yet. Syl rolled as they landed on the other side of the wall, she stood up and brushed herself off. She stared at Kin and rubbed her tears off her face, he said he repaid her 10 times over but...Syl didn't feel that way. She felt..even though she'd killed all these people and she was wrong she knew it, he still wasn't listening. Syl was breaking...she knew she was a monster and used to deny it.. she accepted it and now was going to just...act like it. " What you've done here. Is unacceptable. " she heard Kin, and replied back, "I know." The answer so simple. So, uncaring, but she did care. " Im here to correct my mistakes from the past... Syl..." She sneered at this comment. "See? Still wont even listen to me, you think I asked for this? To be made into this?" Syl began to back away from Kin looking at the floor, then in such and out of place, the sorrowful tone of Syl she added, "If you kill me nobody will miss me... and it'll all be okay..." She added before vine erupted out of the ground trying to wrap around his hands and force him to his knees, if it did or didn't hit Syl would turn, making it seem like she vanished into a bunch of rose petals, but this was an illusion, she'd just jumped into the branches high above Kin, hiding herself with Illusions. She hung upside down from the branch and used her hair to control the dead bodies that weren't completely destroyed. She is able to control people and practically make them into her puppets by making them lose consciousness and using her hair as the strings. Syl would manipulate the bodies to converge on Kin, spiders crawling from their dead mouths, the intent was to have the spiders land on Kin and bite him. Syl smirked as her pupils slitted into little black lines. "Im sorry..." she whispered softly to nobody.

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0CEzWUKZiY&feature=youtu.be&t=30m34s )He felt the prick at his neck. Blood dripping from a small wound she had placed on him during there crash. ' She's placed something inside of me. . .  Okami. ' ' Im on it...' Okmai said as if reading Kin's thoughts as he went to work on detecting what had possibly been placed there and getting rid of it. That's when he would have stood watching as Syl had dispersed into a flush of rose pedals. Soon enough however... what followed next. Was the zombie like humans making there way towards Kin. ' I think I found it Kin... just hang tight. ' Okami said to his comrade and yet Kin kept his focus up. He watches as the creatures began to close in on him. " Im sorry too..." Was all she'd here before He knew exactly where she had been. The Warlock Training had Kin take the Mutagen upon completion and it boosted his already enhanced Sensory to Supernatural levels. Kin's senses of sight, taste, hearing, touch, and smell are glaringly, obviously and super/unnaturally more acute than their race. He can see kilometers away, see the faintest distinctions/track things too fast for the natural eye, hear through dense walls perfectly, listen to a sweat drop from someone’s face in another room, smell anything over vast distances, able to smell individual molecules/atoms, conceptual forces and even immaterial beings/entities, taste the smallest details; to the extent of molecular distinguishment, and feel the slightest vibration in the air and ground. Through marital training. Kin has used his genius and his dog like sense's to create a counter measure against those with superior speed and fighting a hidden opponent. Using all of his sense's at once It gives a Kin a near 360 field of vision Using his sense's it gives him an increased sense of awareness. Which helps him in a lot of ways within his 360 field around himself. Using the element of the Sekkiuken technique to push this base to a further extent. He also has the ability to automatically see a 50 meter field of vision around himself which can be extended through training. This instinct mode is also able to see through solid objects and smokescreens, even through most barriers. It can also differentiate between non-corporeal forms. Using this involuntary his instincts would flare and create an non-corporeal form to combat the one that was made against him. Kin does this as a counter-measure and cannot do this on his own. With his instinct's he's able to see through techniques that would otherwise hide an opponent from normal sight. This being stated it allows him to see enemies and civilians through any layout and predict their movements. It also shows points of interest such as objects that can be used to stage accidents.

Applying all of these things and Kin knew exactly where Syl had been. His eyes glowing a bright red before he shouted at the top of his lungs releasing a push blast from his WHOLE body that would have destroyed everything within a 55 meter range. The Push blast is just condensed air, however mixed with destruction chi and one may get devastating results. Destruction chi deals with external chi release that allows the chi practioner to fully utilize the art of destroying or disrupting matter with their chi. This equates to hitting structures of large sizes and taking them down, blowing down walls with a single kick, and if proper outside ignition is used, causing explosive and devastating forces to spread outwards for a wider range of effect. This is flexible, as it can be shrunken and applied martially, allowing a skinny person of frail stature to one shot a heavyweight wrestler with one chop. This method of chi manipulation is effective but the most tiring of the five, often requiring high reserves of chi, and draining even more so than that. All of Syl's puppet like Zombified humans were soon dispersed along with any spider that had been lingering about. And last but not lease the exploding push blast would have more then likely catch Syl within the blaze radius considering her distance from Kin hadn’t been specified she would have been 13 feet away from him within the 55 feet radius. The impact of the explosion would have burst Syl into dust like the others but it would have ripped her clothing to shreds and left her in a broken state. The impact causing most of her ribs and the such to implode on itself from the explosion alone. "...Ive evolved too..." Kin said as his body had been smoking, showing off some of the power he had been holding back for quite sometime. Once and if the explosion had hit Syl. Kin would have walked to where she would have landed and had been holding onto the prick she had placed on him. Exhaling a purple smoke as Okami had placed Kin's chi on overdrive within his body, destroying most of the poison though a good bit lingered. "... Don’t make this harder on yourself... No one feels sorry for you. You continued to be the Victim. And that makes you a liability..." He said walking over to her as he tossed Yamisuki high into the air.

( www.youtube.com/watch?v=sePoWZy5HbY )" And where do you think your going..." Hiro would have said as he stood behind Lyacon and Naomi with his arms crossed. Lyacon turned his head around to stare down the blonde with a scowl, before it shifted into a smile. " Im just... taking back what belongs to me." " I don’t think so... This is Lion Corp. " Hiro said as he crossed his arms and thousands of dots appeared all around Lyacon’s body. They would have stood on top of the air dock so they had been high in the sky. And hundred of Lion corp. operatives could be seen with there guns aimed on the Black haired Okami descendant. " Heh... I guess it is..." Lyacon said with a smirk before he he let Naomi go and walked forward as he cracked his next left to right. " But to be frank... I dont give a fuck... who you are..." Lyacon said as his eyes began to glow a bright purple and he shouted at the top of his lungs and he would have wolfed out completely! " FIRE! " Hiro would have commanded and as he did. All the Lion Corp operatives would have began to fire away at Lyacon to the point he would have been coated in smoke. And after about 5 minutes of gun fire they would have ceased. "... " Hiro's eyes shot left to right before he heard laughter and there had been Lyacon stepping from the depths of the smoke in his half wolf state snickering. He'd lift his right hand and two orbs of Dark Hadou had condensed themselves within his grasp before he fired them both! BOOOM, BOOOM! Two Large explosions would erupt from the Knight Hawk and Before Lyacon could kill another soul. Hiro would have tackled him SO hard! That a Sonic boom would have erupted from the Impact as they blasted off the Knight Hawk in swift spins before Lyacon would have head butted Hiro with so much strength that even his body couldn’t adapt to the impact. " Bye, bye now..." He said as he kicked off Hiro's falling form and blasted back up and through the Knight Hawk, slaughtering everyone he could simply for the fun of it.

" Hey Asshole..." Lyacon's ears would have perked as he turned around to see David with a rail gun in his hands. “No Dogs allowed..." “One Liners... really..." Lyacon would have said as he opened his arms out walking towards David. But David would have simply took a puff from his cigarette and began to fire at Lyacon. But the Deity would have simply put his arms up to tank the impact of the bullets before he shouted and used his Dark Hadou to create a wolf like Arm from behind David, stabbing him from the back before he tossed David across the room with a violent fall. " Hmph..." Lyacon said as he licked his wounds. Only to turn and see Agent Gold with two pistols in his hands, with a leage of Black Glove Society behind him. " More friends? " Lyacon said. " Im all up for group fun. " He said licking his teeth and when all of the BGS and Agent Gold began to fire at him. Lyacon would have simply weave and dodge through every bullet sent his way before he bit into Agent Gold, and slung him into a wall and massacred the other BGS with swift swings of his claws killing them one by one.

Syl honestly really wasn't expecting him to know exactly where she was and was knocked out of the tree by the blast, she felt her ribs break, puncturing her lungs her clothes torn off her and left in shreds as outside she looked perfectly okay, but she knew internally she was a wreck. She landed a way from the tree she was originally in, she was broken and really shouldn't be moving as she assumed her Panzer Kunst form. She coughed as blood erupted from her lips, and she staggered to Kin. Still trying to fight, staggering she collapsed into the dirt sobbing, her hard and distant front breaking. "Im sorry..." she rolled into her back, as she looked straight up into the sky tears running down the side of her face, turning red with the blood splattered across it, making it look like she was crying blood. Smiling up at Kin she understood she had to die, she'd never be anything more than a monster, only killing and eating. "... Don’t make this harder on yourself... No one feels sorry for you. You continued to be the Victim. And that makes you a liability..." She closed her eyes and nodded, "I know, I've deserved everything done to me. I'm a monster, I don't know why you even helped me..." she said completely unaware that Kin had said the exact same thing to Okami. "All I wanted was to be normal...like you...like everyone else, but Im not cut out for it. So please, just kill me." Syl's spiders however were trying to cover her body from Kin, to protect Syl. Not even Syl's hair was trying to protect her. It may seem like Syl was giving up but…she wasn’t. She just merely accepted the fact that she was a monster, she was going to be put down by somebody sometime, she truly regretted killing all the people she killed, but she was trying to make someone, anyone come after her and end her existence, Syl closed her eyes and bit her lip, biting it till it bled, and then she kept chewing it as she finally just, cried, sobbing she cried, "Kin...just kill me, Im sorry for everything but, kill me. I don't wish to continue to live as a monster." She screamed at him as she went to push herself up, to face Kin again, falling into a fighting stance.

Tahira continued running at the speed of light using her keen sense of smell to locate Kin amidst the sea of endless death. Her golden spheres taking note that she wasn't alone in her flight. The spiders themselves were racing in the same as she blanketing everything in  in their wake forcing the dark haired beauty to make leap in the air in order to take the high ground to avoid the blasted things. "There's no end to these little bastard," she murmured to herself looking around for Grey wondering as why she and her hadn't meet up just yet resuming her run and leaps over ever roof top of shops, stores and even houses with haste. She could feel something was wrong or rather she could smell it as the scent in the air had greatly changed. Kin was in trouble and despite her change she would be damned if she let anything hurt him. She told herself as her left hand move itself back going for the other blade that still lay its sheath drawing it before taking another leap this time enabling her to land on ground several steps where both Kin and other scent was coming. The sight of those who were deceased literally being used as puppets by whatever further substantiating her disgust against the thing as Tahira began slashing a path through them with both her blades just get to him. "AHHH DIE YOU FILTHY BEASTS!!" she showing absolutely no mercy as Kin dealt with the apparent cause of the mess which by time she gotta through slashing and both spiders and corpses were completely gone was revealed to none other a girl with dark dark with red eyes laying haplessly on ground begging for her own demise. "She caused all of this?" Tahira asked out loud in bewilderment. "No your far from monster you're inhuman." The dark haired female will hissed having no sympathy personally at all for her. Tahira watching her as her began to move in order to stand then motioning itself into a fighting stance. "You gotta be kidding me even after all of that she still wants more?" She'd asked getting into a stance befitting her duel sword fighting style. "Bitch I don’t know who the fuck you are but this shit...it ends here and now!" And unless Kin had other plans Tahira would brace herself to do battle with this spider woman now.

He listened to what she had said but he kept the grip of his blade. Standing over her now. He raised it high into the air. Ready to end her life. ".... Tch... Shut up..." He said through clenched teeth. " Just shut up! IM SICK OF HEARING YOU COMPLAIN! "  He said hovering the blade above her head. But images of there time together almost three years ago submerges within the back of his mind. The good parts mostly, how he cheered her on at the Sector Games. She had come such a long way from what she had been. "..." But he had abandoned her, and because of this. She became what she had been before. " Damn you... Damn you Syl..." He said lowering the blade. “Damn you..." He said as he put his head down. He couldn’t kill her. He could possess himself to do it. However... before some pitiful heart to heart could be made. Kin would have looked up to see something falling down from the sky not to far off from High tree... It had been Hiro whom seemed unconscious. And that's when it hit him. “There... above us.... They’ve been above us this whole time! " Kin said shouting at the top of his lungs as he stopped in mid step. Syl had killed the Shaman in the village, but she must of did it a few hours after they had gotten Naomi from High Tree. Meaning she must have had been in this area when they snatched her up. Kin looked back over at Syl as he scowled and pulled the blade down before it vanished. He looked back out at the carnage and then slapped her across the face as hard as he could before jerking her up by her shirt. " No more Self Loathing... Do you hear me... I don’t want to hear another thing from you...Your the master of your life Syl have I taught you nothing. Learn... to control yourself. Im a monster too... or did you forget! But you cant let that hold you back. You cant be consumed by the darkness, the darkness of hatred, or temptations. You have to stay strong. Stay vigilante... that's what Ive learned... Being out here. Because this is a land of No heroes. Its just a land of monsters..." He said pushing her backwards. Kin's eyes shot over to Tahira, she had finally made herself known on the scene and he glared. " SILENCE...Tahira..." His voice deepening as his eyes glowed a bright red. Showing a side of him this evening that she hadn’t seen before. " You know not whom you speak to. This is one of the Fighters in the Sector Games. One of the God Killers. " Kin said to her, he hadn’t even told her that he had been one himself. " These people in this village were infected with some kind of vamperic plague set out by some disturbed Oni. She managed to slay the host, which ultimately meant she had to kill the rest of the village. It was only right that placd these illusions here..." Kin said sighing. As he scanned over the carnage around him." She made the illusion so not to scare those whom may enter this area while she looked to see if the Oni had an ally, or accomplice so she could finish the job. Isn't that right Syl..." He said looking her in the eye. Controlling his heart rate so no detection of lying could be caught on before he pointed up in the air. " Lion corp... is up there..."

Grey struggled once again in her restraints. She heard shouting and voices, but the webs only tightened. She hung there, groaning. She was going to give up because honestly, nothing was really happening. But she remembered what Kin had told her before they split. Not the most convient thing to think about but right now, she was being completely useless. She took in a deep breath and surrounded her body in her spirit, and pulled on the restraints once more, breaking them. She hung from her torso and legs, but her nails turned into claws and she ripped through the webbing. Grey was dropped onto a pile of dead bodies, who started to shift under her. She got up, grabbed the braclet and activated it, making it go full size. Her hair turned grey, ears sprouted from her head and she grinned with her canines. "Let's dance!" She swung her arm back and flung her weapon at them, the blade circling back and she successfully caught it. She grabbed a side and started beating them bloody, cutting them up and in half. At the end, she was panting and covered in dark red gunk. Grey collapsed her blade, put it on her wrist and sniffed the other's out, eventually finding them in the midst of shouting. She leaned against a hut and crossed her arms, just waiting for them to finish, spider webs on her clothes and in her hair. She cleared her throat, "Guys, the thing we're looking for is back that way.." She pointed with her thumb and she flashed her canines, smirking at the spider chick, "Thought you could ensnare me, well you were wrong. But I think she could be really helpful to our team,"

Naomi once in a daze would be snapped out of it by the many firing guns coming their way as she jumps and shakes her head. “What the hell?!?!” She started dancing and throwing herself around, flailing her arms. “Hey! Watch it!” She looks to Lyacon and snaps. “THIS IS NOT A GOOD RESCUE MISSION.” When the smoke cleared he’d be gone! She scoffs, realizing the soldiers were more focused on him then her and she would shift into a shadow, melting in to the ground with ease as she floats away through the floors!! Forget this noise! She needed to find her weapon and get out of here…though finding a way out of a helicarrier without dropping to ones death was going to be a problem. Now appearing on the wall, she pulls herself out and morphs back in to a three dimensional being, piercing red eyes tracking her beloved Blood harvest. She takes a step forward only to duck when the sound of an assault rifle sounds off, just dodging the bullets in time as she looks over her shoulder quickly! Artemis would be standing a few feet behind her with a grin. “Your boyfriend thinks he’s cool cause he can push mine around. Man I am in a world of hurt later tonight I can tell you that much…but I guess I should thank you for that.” She holds the rifle tightly and begins to aim it as Naomi scrambles to her feet and morphs into her lycan form!! Brown and black fur grows instantly all over her as she shifts into a demonic blur even giving Artemis trouble keeping up with her trained eyes as she opens fire. Naomi turns a corner in the halls and with her enhanced strength destroys the sliding metal door with one toss of her body, entering the armory and instantly spotting her scythe but the moment she goes for it another slew of bullets fly her way and she tumbles in a shoulder roll, hiding behind one of the stands. “Your boyfriend is falling to his death as we speak, shouldn’t you go save him or something?!?!?” At this Artemis laughs and empties the clip, putting in another one calmly. “Sweet heart, you don’t know my Titan.” Naomi pauses just as Artemis does and the sniper watches intently, waiting for a first move or even a feint one, prepared to blast this bitch into nothing….something flickers out of the corner of her eye and she turns in time to see Naomi coming out from the ground through a shadow!! Her eyes widen and she turns the gun though not in time as the lycan woman throws herself into Artemis, knocking them into a display of knives as they fall all over, Artemis taking this moment to catch one and imbed it into the enemies shoulder blade roughly the same time Naomi was sinking her claws into Artemis’ stomach. They both wince and keep pinned to the other, glaring into the others eyes. “Heh you’re pretty fast….” The brunette praised all the while the sniper grins widely “Not fast enough apparently….” The helicarrier shakes from all of the explosions and fighting currently going on and Artemis winces as Naomi digs deeper into her guts though she herself twists the blade further through the bone making Naomi growl under her breath before she curls her muzzle and begins to snap her jaw dangerously close to the snipers face!! Artemis shoves her head back just in time and slides her knees up, groaning in pain from the puncture wounds and launching the wolf woman off of her, claws and all and throwing herself up but Naomi wouldn’t crash into the floor, she faded into another shadow and Artemis got on alert, watching the black blur swimming through the floor! She opens fire, hoping to get her somehow even if she was nothing but a shadow! Naomi was quick though, having done escapes like this plenty of times over as the helicarrier once more shakes, throwing Artemis off balance and straightening only to see Naomi gone….she looks behind her and sees the weapon she was after…was also gone. “Fuck me.” She murmurs while examining the wounds on her stomach, watching the blood come pouring out.

Syl watched  as Kin gripped his blade as Syl closed her eyes, what the girl named Tahira had said did hurt but Syl would never let her know. Kin lowered his blade and started cursing Syl, Syl stared at him as he lowered his blade and seemed to spare her." No more Self Loathing... Do you hear me... I don’t want to hear another thing from you...Your the master of your life Syl have I taught you nothing. Learn... to control yourself. Im a monster too... or did you forget! But you cant let that hold you back. You cant be consumed by the darkness, the darkness of hatred, or temptations. You have to stay strong. Stay vigilante... that's what Ive learned... Being out here. Because this is a land of No heroes. It’s just a land of monsters..." She sighed and then she slapped her across the face, her head flying to the side. Kin then pushed Syl back causing her to stumble to the floor, Syl just looked at the floor, " These people in this village were infected with some kind of vamperic plague set out by some disturbed Oni. She managed to slay the host, which ultimately meant she had to kill the rest of the village. It was only right that placed these illusions here..." Kin said sighing. As he scanned over the carnage around him. Syl was confused, what the hell was he talking about? She killed them!, " She made the illusion so not to scare those whom may enter this area while she looked to see if the Oni had an ally, or accomplice so she could finish the job. Isn't that right Syl..." It clicked in Syl's head as she silently nodded and rubbed her cheek, she didn't look at Kin or Tahira, "I can go cut your friend out..." Syl offered as she stood up slightly faltering slightly refusing to make eye contact with either of them, She may have heard Kin's words, but she didnt accept them, it did not changed how she veiwed herself. She wasn't going to aimlessly kill anymore out of respect to the people but it didn't mean she didn't have to stop hurting herself, her atonement to all her murders. She turned to Tahira, "Im sorry I attacked I thought you were here help the Oni." Syl said simply, she just lied. Then Syl nodded to Kin with all intentions of leaving him, to wander the desert again. She looked as the girl she'd caught ealier suddenly showed up, She shouldn't of...how did she..? Syl heard her say she could be useful and hoped Kin would say no.

Stunned to silence as Kin technically bared his fangs at her Tahira listened closely to the explanation he gave her in regards to what really happened to the citizens of High Tree before being told further as who this girl in front of him really was or rather accomplishments and what she had done to rid the village of any more casualties as she stood upright once more twirling both the blades she held around in order place them back in their sheath,  her eyes still narrowing in on the one kin had called Syl rather vagrantly. 'Killer of Gods huh, add humans to that list too' The dark haired girl would tartly muse making sure that none of her thoughts or body motion would betray she how she was really feeling as Grey soon rejoined the group. Informing them of the obvious as who was controlling things and just where what they'd come here looking was in the first place before proceeding to taunt the spider girl in a way. "Careful Grey, Kin seems to know that one. But I do agree she could be rather useful." Her tone having returned to its normal state. Kin's statement in regards to something being overhead making her wonder just what the hell was really going around here.

"..... " Kin turned his head from Syl, as they some what agreed to Syl tagging along with him. He'd look Syl up and down before shaking his head. “No... this one needs to find her own path. She's too lost to run with us. She still has much to learn. " Kin said staring at Syl before he crossed his arms. " Come... I want to expect what that was that fell from the sky. " 10 minutes Later Kin would have pulled the girls along, taking Syl with him as well for now until he'd find a suitable place to leave her. As he and the gang made there way over to where Hiro had fallen from. Kin squatted down checking him over, his eyes shooting back up to see The Knight Hawk in full view now with a bit of smoke coming from it." Sorry Uncle... Can’t help you this time. You and yours still have warrants on my arrest. “Kin said taking a tracker of sorts from his pockets. Looking over the device He'd click the on button and it'd say in full view. 'Naomi Edwards.' And where She had the device in her. Oddly enough the had added the device in her food so it sat in her stomach as a nanomachine. But it'd melt with her stomach acid in about a few weeks time; it was designed this way and was completely harmless. As he clicked the switch to its perimeter settings he'd see Naomi on the radar and he smirked. " Its a gift from above. Thanks Uncle Hiro. " He said patting him on the back as Hiro simply snored. Lyacon had gotten bored half way through the process and once he had realized that Naomi had been gone he sighed crossing his arms. “And the Hunt continues..." He said dispersing into a flow of crows.

Nightfall....

Kin would have guided the gang, and Syl both to an Inn that said that Naomi had been staying here tonight. He looked at them and then back to the tracker and he opened the door, asking the Inn Keep if a strange person had ordered a room tonight. Surprisingly enough they got a pretty interesting description of a girl. And Kin it had to be Naomi making his way up to room 667. He'd knock on the door lightly as if not to cause or attract attention. " Hello? Anyone in there? "

Finding a way out of the helicarrier was not fucking fun in the slightest…trying to carry yourself in the shadows of birds, that shit was nearly impossible but doing it the last minute before she hit the ground….now she found herself in an Inn, resting in the room she’d be staying for the night with half of her dress hanging at her side, her shoulder blade exposed as she was stitching the knife wound silently, the needle going through the skin smoothly as she stared at the bed sheet...There were towels now stained with blood around her and a first aid kit opened with things removed to work on the gash. With a sigh, she finishes the cup of whiskey and hisses through her teeth. “Yep, that’s nice…” The 23 year old shakes off the strong taste and wonders what in the ever fuck was going on. That wolf…he was on some other level. He acted like they knew one another but she couldn’t recall him ever which only meant it had something to do with the spirit of the red maiden. That shit seemed to enjoy fucking her over every chance it got….her ear twitches and her nose curls as she picks up the strong smell of another wolf…she makes a face and red hues lock on to the door, hearing a knock and a dull voice. How was she being tracked so easily? She drags the thread through bleeding flesh and sighs out a growl. “If you’re here to kill me can you wait until I’m done patching myself up? Or after I finish my drink…preferably.” She wasn’t exactly saying fuck off but seriously if someone wanted to throw down with her she wasn’t going to go easy on them just because they were human though who ever was outside sure ash ell wasn’t normal. “And if you’re not here to hunt me down then by all means, come inside and tell me why the fuck you’re bothering me.” She grits her teeth as she passes the curved needle once more around, trying to finish up here and not caring that her breast was exposed as she needed the sleeve and fabric out of the way.

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSNZC8sEqyU )Kin would have cocked his head over to the right at the other two whom had followed him along for this adventure. Kin opened the door to her inn-room and him and the others more then likely would have followed right behind him. "... " He looked at the scanner then back over at her before nodding his head. " Naomi Edwards... " He said looking back over at the girl. The room had a stench of medicine and alcohol. Kin looked her up and down before crossing his arms. " Im Kin Tasanagi. Im... A warlock. Don’t know if you’ve heard about what we are. But, I am also of Wolfs blood, along with these two behind me. " He said referring to Grey and Tahira. " Sorry, I hadn’t thought about what I'd say once I got to this point. So I'll be Blunt. My Ancestor... Lyacon. He's after you. And wishes to use something that you have for his own vice. I need your help in keeping him at bay. He needs to be stopped. And... Well Im asking for your help. " He said proudly as he tiled his head up. Perking up his chest as he clenched his fist. " If you linger out here on your own. He'll find you again. Im sure of it. And... you need a pack. Someone or, someone’s who will have your back. A tleast until I figure out what I need to do next to ensure your safety. . . " Kin said staring at the female from a distance. If she looked at Kin she'd be able to see a slight resembelnse between him and Lyacon. Stuffing his hands into his pockets he'd keep his eyes dead set on her, waiting for her response.

Syl heard the body thud and looked in the direction as she heard Kin say she was too lost to run with them, not that she cared. Syl shrugged and began to walk away until made her come with them to investigate. Syl watched as Kin messed with some device, and Syl became  aware that her clothes her torn, her healing factor had kicked in but she was still in pain. She looked at Kin, and huffed, slowly heading to her bike she leaned over and pulled the bloody scraps of the white dress off her, she would've tossed them but...they were special. The bike was a one wheeled bike not meant for two or more. ( The Bike: http://www.oocities.org/doppelgangergeisha/alita_bike.jpg) The pulled another outfit of the bikes bag, stuffing her bloody dress in it's place. Shrugging on the outfit, if anyone was looking Syl now sported a scar, right on her side. it was deep and raw, like it never got to heal properly. Syl would never tell anyone but she' never...actually sustained a wound, the Illusion she was put under was so real her nano-machines really believed she has a scar there. Shrugging on her new outfit (http://img07.deviantart.net/0300/i/2008/047/b/c/alita__s_damascus_blade_by_s2ka.jpg without the blade) She mounted her bike and waited for Kin leaning over the handle bars sighing, waiting.

Later, Syl remained separated from the rest of the group. Kin was busy tracking down yet another person. She assumed they were all like him, a wolf in some way shape or form, Syl lay back on the roof of the Inn staring up at the sky, she wondered what more there was to life. She leaned back as a baby spider crawled onto her stomach, she smiled and let it rest there, nobody but Syl could see it, but it curled up its legs under it and just rested, thinking Syl was it's mother, Syl smiled and pulled a small blade from her suit and flipped it between her fingers, before pulling her sleeve up and dragging it across her skin. She hissed as the blade split her flesh open, small other scars littered her arms but by tomorrow they'd be gone, Syl's nano-machines would see to that. Syl lay there with her arm stretched out, she thought about Kin's words before. She should heed them but...that came with time, and this wasn't it. Tahira's words came back to her and she scoffed, "Human Killer, what does she know? Humans did this to me." She clenched her wrists, and sighed, no more blood, her nano-machines clotted it, by tomorrow it'd be scared over. Normally Syl would've bit her lip until it bled but she found more extreme pain often eased her guilt. Laying across the roof she kept an ear out in case of trouble.

This wolf knew her name though lately it seemed a lot of people she didn’t recognize knew her by name so that didn’t much matter anymore. “Aye, that’s me. Who wants to know?”. “I’m Kin Tasanagi. I’m... A warlock. Don’t know if you’ve heard about what we are. But, I am also of Wolfs blood, along with these two behind me.” There were more? She looks over his shoulder and spots them…taking a whiff of the air, she couldn’t help the soft chuckle. “A newly turned wolf and a half pint…this should be good.” She finishes stitching herself up and snaps the thread, tossing the needle aside and placing a gauze over the raw flesh using just one hand alone while she listens to him. Lyacon? So that’s who that was…great a legendary wolf apparently had some fling with the red maiden. Out of the two other maidens he could have fucked with…it had to have been the red maiden. " If you linger out here on your own. He'll find you again. Im sure of it. And... you need a pack. Someone or, someone’s who will have your back. At least until I figure out what I need to do next to ensure your safety. . .” “I don’t need anything. Not all wolves travel in packs; I’m a lone wolf for good reason. I escaped him once already; I’ll try my luck on my own.” She slips her dress sleeve back on and massages her sore shoulder though Kin hadn’t taken his eyes off of her and she gives him a stern expression. “I’m supposed to trust some wolf who just admitted to being related to a crazy delusional wolf king?” She stands and motions over to them, gesturing for them to enter and not dawdle in the hallway where people could listen in on their conversation. Once and if they all came in she’d shut the door and make her way over to the window, gazing out of it cautiously before closing the blinds. “Were you followed? A group your size draws attention….” She looks to the two women and smiles. “Especially with such pretty company, you’d certainly break necks.” So far Naomi didn’t seem dangerous she just needed a little more convincing as the wolf maiden crosses her arms and watches Kin again. “Lyacon is no king to me he is nothing more than an over powered brute who enjoys causing chaos where ever he steps. But there is good reason why he is called a king and is of legends…What could you three possibly do? I mean how long have you been a pack for? I can still smell the brunette’s human essence lingering over her.”

“A newly turned wolf and a half pint…this should be good.” She’d hear Naomi say leaning back, against the opposite wall after having been drug out in the middle of nowhere to an Inn by Kin in search of her. With clues given so little and so far and between on what about her made her so special, along with who ever was after her. Tahira thought it best that she just stay outta it and just keep her mouth shut in all of this. Especially after just being insulted by this chick then invited to enter her room just to maintain the privacy of it, she would decline choosing to remain in the hallway to keep watch just in case whatever it was dared to make an appearance here too as well. Someone had to be focused and ready at a moments notice while all this idly chatter was going on. And if that person had to be her then Tahira would gladly accept the challenge, tch she needed to blow off some steam after be told that she could fight that spider woman thing that laying outside of the hood of the car. Though if the others went inside at her invite she’d still be able to hear the rest of the conversation going on. Kin wanted Naomi to join them but of course she protested barking out that all wolves traveled in packs and how she was independent for a reason. As to the person who person who was trying to capture her she’d gotten away from him once and she’d do so again. The dark haired redhead would suck on her teeth. ‘It’s stupid to tempt fate so blindly, but then again isn’t that what were doing?’ She thought hearing the rustling of fabric most likely from Naomi as she wasn’t considered decent when she came to the door once the door was closed and the others inside. The woman’s tone changing as she would as if they were follow, and how a group their size could draw such attention before begin complimented in regards to their appearance. Which yet again Tahira didn’t think she was “drop dead” gorgeous just average to say the very least but as always the people around her thought rather differently. “Lyacon is no king to me he is nothing more than an over powered brute who enjoys causing chaos where ever he steps. But there is good reason why he is called a king and is of legends…What could you three possibly do? I mean how long have you been a pack for? I can still smell the brunette’s human essence lingering over her.” Tahira could hear Naomi say as she shifted her weight from her right leg to her left really starting to like this once less and less. Though it was true she was pup of the litter and they’d only been a pack less that a week, it still gave her no right to doubt them without first knowing any of their abilities. In fact it down right rude to say the least.

Grey was in the hallway for whatever reason, and she was still in her half wolf form, but a cloak covering her head. She listened in on the conversation and sighed when she wasn’t cooperating. She had been raised on the legends of this “Red Maiden”, rumored to be one of the purest of Wolfs Blood. But right now, Grey couldn’t really pick that up from her. She walked in and pushed past Kin and Tahira, stepping into the room. “Hey.. That’s fine and dandy if you don’t want to join us, but don’t mock us because we aren’t asking for your help, princess..” She took off her hood and glared down at her with her yellow orbs, her grey tail swaying in frustration. She crossed her arms and took off the cloak. “You like pure breeds like yourself, and I understand that, not all of us are special.. But hell, you wouldn’t want to see me if I had been a purebred, because I bet I’d be just like you.. And you don’t want there to be another you.. do you?” She purred, walking around her and flicking her tail in her direction. She snickered and walked back to the door. “I mean, if you aren’t around who’s to show a half pint like me what it means to be gifted?” She bit her lip and winked at her. This is a tactic she had never tried on a woman before, and doing something like this was below everything she ever believed. But, if it worked, it could be useful in the future. She waited by Tahira, not making eye contact with either of them because she knew they were giving her looks. But hell if she cared, she was seducing her with all of her pheromones in the air, pumping through the room like laughing gas in the vents.

Kin listened to what she had been saying along with watching Grey intervene with in attempt at tempting her. Kin sighed realizing the seriousness of the situation. In order to help this girl, this Maiden. He first had to get her to believe in him. The only way he truly knew how. " Fine... If you don’t believe me. Then... Maybe I know someone who you will listen to." Kin said as he concentrated his chi to allow Okami to show himself in front of the group. Standing at 7'8. With a form that was slender yet muscular. His long flowing white hair caped in the wind along with his attire. He had a blade on his right side and his bright golden eyes would have stared at everyone within the room.

" Hello. " Was all he had said before he tilted up that frowned face.

" This Onigami Okami. Founder and father of the Wolf blood. True father of all wolves. " Kin’s aid crossing his arms though Okami would have placed a hand up to quiet him before he began to speak himself. " I need no introduction. This one will remember me soon enough when the spirits of the other Maidens tie into her own. Like Kin said, I am Okami. An Onigami from what you people call my people, the First Civilization. I live as an Oni, trapped within spirit form. But even so my power can reach out to all of you. But only through this young man. A Great Danger Approaches. My Son, Lyacon wishes to push the moon into the Red State. Where Dark Hadou Will consume this world. Terra forming it for a new world of Dark Hadou. And with its power, he will make all Man Wolf blood. But cursed and Decript like him. Broken, and evil, twisted, and sick. A word No one shall, and should never live in. This young Lady, is the Red Maiden. She is the Key to unlocking the red moon. And if we do not keep her protected. If you all do not Stop Lyacon. Then he will consume everything in his wake. I have given Kin an ability, which will pass on to the rest of you all as long as you stand by him. Test his Mettle if you must, challenge him, court him even. Do whatever you must to see if he is worthy to guide you. But, take my word. This young Man has faced Demons, trials that will guide you all. And protect you. He is the reincarnation of my Son Kurama.... and his grandfather Kagemaru. Kurama's blood lives within the Tasanagi line. And whenever the world needs him, just like my son Kurama he resurfaces again. This time to guide the world out of its Dark State. But Kin will need you all. He will Need you Grey, with your wit, and that snarky tone. And the speed faster then all the winds. And you Tahira, with your wisdom. And Knowledge, it will guide him on a better path. You shall be his rock. And you Naomi. Hmph, you he will need your power. To help him against the evils that approach. You all must go to the Winter Solstice Alter. It only appears every 60 years, and this year it will show in Alaska. Where it is currently on its phase of eternal Night. Go there, vast the cold winds and get to the solstice before Lyacon. Only then... will you have the power to defeat him..." Okami would have said as he waited to hear any questions of the sort from the group.

Tahira watched as Grey gave off her usual tone, defending their pack as one of her standing within the group would. She admired her brass and determination not to be looked down by any one especially the pure blood wolf that was in front of them but to some extent it wasn’t about how one was born or created it was just sheerly about showing a bit a kindness even if they didn’t deserve any, you know some respect. Stepping forwards from where she leaned Tahira would proceed to make her way towards the door now that Naomi was dressed her mannerism being respectful of both Kin, her alpha and the girl who she could sense held a higher ranking in the wolves hierarchy just a bit. Fine... If you don’t believe me…Then... Maybe I know someone who you will listen to." The 22 year old would hear Kin say an over flow of chi suddenly pouring over from the direction in which he stood, its out pour allowing him to manifest a being or rather a spirit standing at a frame of 7`8, muscular yet slender form, long white hair which seemed to dance at his side right along with the attire that he wore. Upon his back he dawned a blade of remarkable craftsmanship the likes she’d had never seen before and his eyes much like Kin’s were gold just like the rarest of nuggets, that peered over everyone last one of them as if it were looking into their very souls.

Though she didn’t understand why since the Nomacks worshipped there own goddess, Tah bowed her head humbly before the specter. Perhaps it was the wolf in her that was offering Okami reverence as the Elder wolf spoke greeting them a slight frown upon his noble face before Kin offered an explanation as to who the being was before them.

"This Onigami Okami. Founder and father of the Wolf blood. True father of all wolves." she’d hear him say, Tahira’s own golden orbs widen as she looked at Okami. The Elder wolf raising his hand up to quiet any questions before they could even be ask then speaking himself. I need no introduction. This one will remember me soon enough when the sprits of the other Maidens tie into her own. Like Kin said, I am Okami. An Onigami from what you people call my people, the First Civilization. I live as an Oni, trapped within spirit form. But even so my power can reach out to all of you. But only through this young man. A Great Danger Approaches. My Son, Lyacon wishes to push the moon into the Red State. Where Dark Hadou Will consume this world. Terra forming it for a new world of Dark Hadou. And with its power, he will make all Man Wolf blood. But cursed, and Decrypt like him. Broken, and evil, twisted, and sick. A word No one shall, and should never live in. This young Lady, is the Red Maiden. She is the Key to unlocking the red moon. And if we do not keep her protected. If you all do not Stop Lyacon. Then he will consume everything in his wake. I have given Kin an ability, which will pass on to the rest of you all as long as you stand by him. Test his Mettle if you must, challenged him, court him even. Do whatever you must to see if he is worthy to guide you. But, take my word. This young Man has faced Demons, trials that will guide you all. And protect you. He is the reincarnation of my Son Kurama.... and his grandfather Kagemaru. Kurama's blood lives within the Tasanagi line. And whenever the world needs him, just like my son Kurama he resurfaces again. This time to guide the world out of its Dark State. But Kin will need you all. He will Need you Grey, with your wit, and that snarky tone. And the speed faster then all the winds. And you Tahira, with your wisdom. And Knowledge, it will guide him on a better path.

It only appears every 60 years, and this year it will show in Alaska. Where it is currently on its phase of ethereal Night. Go there, vast the cold winds and get to the solstice before Lyacon. Only then... will you have the power to defeat him..." Okami would fall silent letting each and every one of them take all of this in. For indeed it was a lot to take in especially for one who was a wolf pup like Tahira is but it wasn’t hard to understand that if they didn’t stop Lyacon the world as they knew it, which was bad as is would literally become a hell that neither lycan or humans could live in. “That doesn’t give us very long then.” She’d state having masterfully studies star charts and astrology with none other that Master Coxrin himself. Her thoughts going back to Morgiana and the other Warlocks the family that had loved her and trained her the same way she had Kin, to family who she ran away from in order to live her life but cared for still, and to this small group of 3 whose numbers she was certain were still raising, their pack…her new family who’d she would defend against anything any day of the week before looking up to Kin and Okami. “If helping Kin to protecting this world from Lyacon is what I must do for wolf bloods and humanity alike. You both will most certainly have my blade and skills in this fight.” Her attention soon turns to Naomi, “Newly blessed with this curse or gift I might be dear Maiden, but know I we are pack of wolves when in the heat of combat who’s bark is worst than our bite. Now the only question remains do trust my words enough to believe that we, all of us are worthy enough to keep you safe to the very end? Or will we have to drag you kicking and screaming out by your heels….cause time isn’t a luxury.” Tahira explained somewhat teasing once she got to the end of her statement.

Syl remained on the roof before she sat up, the small spider crawling into her hair. She wasn't sure if the wolves inside knew what she was doing but, she had made it so the plants in the area were giving off an odorless, invisible gas. That all but the most powerful people could break out of, it was only to hide the wolves from sight, and muffle their voices and hide their scents. Rolling off the roof, Syl didn't bother to hide herself with it, only them. Mounting her one wheeled bike she leaned over the handle bars and pulled out her torn white dress, and staring at it. Her long black hair blowing around in the wind, her red eyes cast downward. She flopped across the handlebars of the bike and pulled her tan cloak around her more. She closed her eyes and huffed, slightly annoyed. She knew they were talking but what was taking so long? Surely it wasn't that hard to go in and get her? Syl sighed and rubbed the back of her neck a small bump there. "What the...?" her mind flashed back to then Kin had it put in her all those years ago. The girl leaned over and turned her bike on, the engine rumbling. Revving the engine, she plucked a pretty big spider from her hair and pulled a pen and paper from the bag on her bike, she kept a few things stashed on her bike. Basic pens and paper, a few knives and her spiders. Syl began to mutate the spider making it a golden yellow color, with purple markings. It defiantly stuck out like sore thumb. scribbling a note on it, Syl revved her bike again, to drop the spider to the ground as it made it's way to Kin, and the wolves. Syl turned on her bike and let the wheel spin kicking up dust holding it in place with her foot, when she took her foot off the bike she flew away from the town out into the desert. As the spider crawled into the window it's would crawl up Kin’s body and tied around it's middle was Syl's note. Kin, I know you wanted to leave me somewhere, but Im leaving now. Assuming you haven't accidentally killed the spider it'll be of help to you. It contains almost all of the poisons I've ever made or can make. If you extract venom from it you can use it like I can. But if you rip one of it's legs off, the leg will return to me and I will come to your aid, but for now Im going to heed your words and find my path in life, and find the man I love. As Syl sped through the desert she decided to investigate the next highly forested region of Skyland, the Oasis, she might find new spiders or plants to study. She pulled her goggles down out of her bag and slipped them over her eyes, to keep the sand out of them. "Bye everyone..."

Naomi raises a brow when the half pint makes her way over and begins to show how annoyed she was. At this Naomi couldn’t help the grin and gives Kin an amused expression. “Please tell me this isn’t your omega.” She looks back to the girl but she’d allow her to continue on, watching her come closer only to notice how her words drawled out and took a sensual tone, her tail lifting up to expose certain areas of the wolf which did not go unnoticed. Suddenly Kin interrupted and Naomi’s eyes locked on to the Alpha intently. " Fine... If you don’t believe me. Then... Maybe I know someone who you will listen to." This would be interesting as the brunette placed a hand on her hip and frowned curiously to what this wolf had in plan to convince her…though what he does next certainly caught her by surprise as the image of Okami himself emerges seemingly out of nowhere though it was…she couldn’t help the large grin as she plays with the pendant on her chest, tapping a sharp red nail against it as she clucks her tongue, looking between the elder wolf and Kin. “My, my, my….” The Alpha introduces him but he was right...Okami needn’t any introduction her parents have always spoken highly of their God who they so passionately worshipped. "I need no introduction. This one will remember me soon enough when the spirits of the other Maidens tie into her own.” So the legends were true after all….damn. She bows her head lowly, even curtsying her dress and acknowledging him. “Okami-sama.” “A Great Danger Approaches. My Son, Lyacon wishes to push the moon into the Red State. Where Dark Hadou Will consume this world. Terra forming it for a new world of Dark Hadou. And with its power, he will make all Man Wolf blood. But cursed and Decript like him. Broken, and evil, twisted, and sick. A word No one shall, and should never live in.” To this Naomi instantly becomes serious, clenching her teeth and turning away and begins pacing. Dark Hadou…Naomi wanted nothing more than to leave the legends behind to escape her destiny and just live a normal life but this was all too real and if the humans were in danger….why should she care about those not of wolf blood? Simple…a piece of her was of Light Hadou, a part of Junsei, the Goddess she worshiped whole heartedly…a Goddess who had high hopes for Earth and all who called her home. She couldn’t let harm come to the humans….She stops in pacing, looking at them when Okami speaks highly of Kin and she stares at the Alpha once more…. “Hm.” The white haired wolf Deity speaks on all of them and how each would be needed to defeat this evil, throwing in Naomi’s power which makes her wink at him playfully. The brunette starts to talk now and at this point Naomi couldn’t take another earful as she chuckles. “Alright, alright fine I guess if I have to save you all from dying I’m in.” She looks out the window, staring at the darkness outside. “So…lets get started.”

“First things first.." Kin said stepping through Okami's image, looking back at everyone. “In order to do what we must, we must first acknowledge what we have. Lyacon hasn’t made a move yet. I can sense him, but that just means he can sense me too. We move now, I have some friends that may be able to assist us. But... It'll cost us. We cant let the Warlocks Know Tahira. This is our fight, and because its our fight we must handle it ourselves. I met a guy, few days back. His names Kaith. I've been prepping him. He'll accompany us as well. Apart of our pack. We leave in three days, Lyacon wont make a move yet. He still needs to know what were planning. So were gonna leave him a hint, a tip even. Of where he needs to go. But, that's an issue for another time. We'll stay here tonight. But tomorrow at Dawn we leave. " Kin said exiting the room and leaving the others to themselves.

A few hours later... 12:45AM

Kin sat on the balcony of the Inn room he had gotten for himself. Reading the Note that Syl had left him. And the spider specimen as well. He stared out at the vast sands before he sighed. Wearing a white button up shirt with Pajama pants. He had the sleeves rolled up, lacking a shirt underneath to show his scars and the such. He would have placed the letter into his pocket before leaning over the metal railing. "... Syl, I hope that you may find your path. I have spared you once, twice even. I am terribly wrong for all that I have done to you. But, I just hope you remember what I said. About controlling your monster. Because... if you haven’t. And I see you again my spider. I will Kill you..." Kin said clenching onto the railing before he pulled away to show that he had crushed the steel with ease. With his head down. He would have closed the doors to the balcony. As he allowed himself to gain some sleep.
