Smith

[6/8/15 9:19:01 PM] Sukii Chan: The rains fell upon the earth as she moved silently but quickly about the graveyards of District 1. The moon shown scarcely under the thick clouds stood their ground. “This awful place…. Filthy place…. A city run with rats.” Her voice rang cold and dark as she was fully visible due to a small lamp that she lit as the rain pelted about its tin roofing. Xùnsù was silent as she wore a black kimono that draped her small figure. It wrapped about her delicate Japanese features that vaguely reminded people whom have had the pleasure or horror of seeing her to compare her to a porcelain doll, thus earning her the moniker, “Doll of death”. Despite  her small and delicate seeming features under her kimono; she held a very power clan of Geisha assassin whom even at this moment was scattered about the graveyard in the shadows ready for command to strike upon any unwelcomed guest. She removed her black veil from her face as the umbrella covered her face with shadow only showing her bright red lips as she stopped in front of a tombstone that was decorated with elaborate flowers and wooden combs. She looked down upon the tomb stone, her eyes watered softly but was covered by the shadows as she spoke softly with her voice sounding of flying birds, “Lady Amai…. It has been quite some time since your passing… I know you watch upon us and We all miss you so.” She spoke as she reached into her kimono and retrieved a bottle of perfume that belonged to Amai for she couldn’t stand to have it with her. “My Lady… for you in the afterlife may-may you watch over us and soar with the birds.” Her voice wavered as her red lips would have been seen quivering before shifting into a deep and dark frown. She wanted whomever did this to be slowly killed. She turned away from the headstone; her long black hair flowing down her back and stopped at her upper butt area, “For the respect and honor of geisha…” She said softly as she began to make her way out of the disgusting graveyard for she had heard news of a threat soon to hit the city and she already had the clan on move out.

[6/8/15 9:39:23 PM] Max Serizawa: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks6-h9x6SyA)As Xùnsù was speaking amongst herself from not to far away stood a male not much older than herself watching her from a far. He could see the hurt in her face it was the same feeling he felt when he thought he lost his only brother Jackie the feeling in your gut that makes you feel weak for not being their when your family needed you the most, their presence and good charms just vanishing away with them like an memory. Moments later Max would walk up to her before placing a hand on her shoulders " Does she bring you hope.. Xunsu..?" Max would say his face hidden by an mask, it seemed he had found the next person on his list that he had for recruitment to his team.

If the women would wonder how he knew her name Max would press a bit on her shoulder as he began to speak. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KRwJIyz16o)" I've learned about the  geisha and I know who this women is that is beneath us. She wouldn't want you here asking to become strong she would want you going out your way to figure out what makes you strong on your own.. Your searching for an opening something to guide you on your journey, and Im here to give it to you.. To make you strong, to fill that empty void inside your body. But my way is a difficult, I will need your loyalty in excahnged to make you stronger this is a test for yourself do you wish to leave in a world where nothing make sense or" Max would extend his hand out towards Suki as the rain poured on his body " Will you come with me and allow me to show you the light."

[6/9/15 8:19:37 PM] Sukii Chan: She had felt a slight presence that had made her slightly twitch her left hand under her kimono which placed the guarding geisha on alert. She tilted her head slightly as her eyes, which were hidden from view, locked in on the person whom seemed to be thinking of something. She gave him no more of her direct attention as she continued in her departure. As the young lady began her exit, she felt the male walking behind her and he would attempt to place his hand upon her shoulder which she quickly spun around while her right hand drew her closed fan as she used it to catch his hand. She was later greeted by the geisha whom had moved in closer and silently watching. Xunsu heard him speak of Amai, "Yes, Lady Amai was a very great leader and mother to the Geisha. . ." She slowly holstered her fan as she looked at him and his body being drenched in the rain which caused his clothes to cling to his well shaped body. She stood silently as the male continued to speak his words sounded quite genuine to her a s his hand was extended to her. She looked at his hand and back up at him and her lips  parted in a smile, "Light? Are you my knight in shining armor?" She said softly with a slight joking tone as she placed her slender hand upon his. "Don't disappoint..." She said softly.

[6/9/15 10:46:37 PM] Max: " I might be that shinning armor I might just be…" As he took her hand Max would vanish into the his dark shadows with her leading her to a path on which she will never regret.//- One Week Later-// After defeating Ayporse Max decided to finish his list of names early seeing he had already recruited Akashi, Cessair, Vincent and now Xunsu Max had only a few people left that he needed to reach his goal and it was starting with Smith. As Max walked with Xunsu down the dusty roads of what use to be the city he chuckled seeing all this destruction yes it had fooled some of his plans big plans but Max always had a back up plan that was even worst. "He should be close..This one is different.." Max had one of his crow to scout ahead near an medical facility where they held some of the survivors that lived from the explosion the city was in turmoi, as his crow scouted ahead it would fly inside the base before landing inside a room where Smith was attending watching him if he would take note of the bird the eyes of the bird would turn an deep red color before flying off, if Smith would follow this bird it would travel him down an alley way. While this was happening Max turned to her before speaking " Remember we need him so no killing unless you have too. I can feel it.. it's almost time for us to strive Xunsu I can feel it in my bones..." Once Smith would arrive in the alley way he would began to hear a faint voice. "....Pssst..Are you alive??" The alley way would become much darker and the buildings near would began to shift and turn as the ground would also began to crumble, almost close to an earthquake that only smith could feel. As this was going on Max was watching from above on a street wire.He wanted to see how strong Smith was so he would turn to Xunsu telling her to face Smith. " Give it your all...Now go!"

“I’m getting really tired of sitting around here” –He thought to himself as he held Angel snugged into his shoulder. His crystal grey lifeless eyes looked through the scope in the direction that he thought bandits or hoarders may come from. As he lay on the top of a medical facility he couldn’t help but think about why he took it upon himself to stick around and help people, after all, no one helped him. As he laid there in the dark, a light rain began to pour down from the sky. He didn’t move or flinch one bit as the cold droplets pelted his face. As they rolled down the bridge of his nose, he quickly blank and noticed there seemed to be movement about two clicks out behind the ruins of what used to be a prized hotel. As he focused in a bit he could see three distinguishing figures wearing all black. “Of course, bandits. It’s a good thing I don’t shoot to kill” He said to himself in a very low tone as he closed his other eye that wasn’t looking through the scope. He quickly laid a hand on the grip of the rifle and placed a finger gently on the trigger. With his other hand he quickly reached up, just above the trigger to press a small black button until it turned red, signaling that the safety was no longer engaged. As he took a deep breath he decided to hold it in this time so that the rifle would be more stabilized. He aimed it low, right at the knee cap and pulled the trigger. The discharge noise echoed through the city as the bullet penetrated and shattered one of the bandit’s knee caps. The other two looked at him and decided to take off, leaving him there. He showed no emotions on his face as he forced another shell into the chamber, only this time he thought about finishing the job. “I think he’s had enough” He mumbled to himself and quickly stood to his feet, grabbing a nearby latter and used it to get to the ground. He left Angel on the roof, covered up in the gun case and casually strolled through the clinic. There was this one room in particular he visited. There was this young boy who lost his leg in the explosion and was in a comma ever sense. He would simply walk in and watch over him making sure nothing happens. Maybe it was because the boy was so young he felt that he had emotional tied to him-

One Week Later-// After defeating Ayporse Max decided to finish his list of names early seeing he had already recruited Akashi, Cessair, Vincent and now Xunsu Max had only a few people left that he needed to reach his goal and it was starting with Smith. As Max walked with Xunsu down the dusty roads of what use to be the city he chuckled seeing all this destruction yes it had fooled some of his plans big plans but Max always had a back up plan that was even worst. "He should be close..This one is different.." Max had one of his crow to scout ahead near an medical facility where they held some of the survivors that lived from the explosion the city was in turmoi, as his crow scouted ahead it would fly inside the base before landing inside a room where Smith was attending watching him if he would take note of the bird the eyes of the bird would turn an deep red color before flying off, if Smith would follow this bird it would travel him down an alley way. While this was happening Max turned to her before speaking " Remember we need him so no killing unless you have too. I can feel it.. it's almost time for us to strive Xunsu I can feel it in my bones..." Once Smith would arrive in the alley way he would began to hear a faint voice. "....Pssst..Are you alive??" The alley way would become much darker and the buildings near would began to shift and turn as the ground would also began to crumble, almost close to an earthquake that only smith could feel. As this was going on Max was watching from above on a street wire.(

)He wanted to see how strong Smith was so he would turn to Xunsu telling her to await for his return. " I will test this male's power you can wait here or join it doesn't matter to me" Max would say landing in front of Smith with his arms crossed his face hidden in a mask( <-- How he looked) " You have been chosen to join a life far beyond the one you live in now.. the real answer is are you strong enough…Come attack me mortal.. Show me everything you got."

As he heard the faint sound of what seemed to be a whisper, he slowly turned his body into a 360 degrees spin but saw nothing. The ally seemed to become consumed with darkness which was very unusual. He quickly closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, exhaling and gripping the stock of his weapon. Suddenly the floor beneath him began to crumble at his feet. He quickly lunged back a few times in attempt to keep himself from falling into the gaps that seemed to be in the ground. “What is this, this can’t be real. Someone is behind this” He thought to himself. He quickly reached down on his right side and grabbed his pistol. Now totally consumed in the darkness, he closed his eyes, seeing that that sense was pointless to use anyways and slowly heightened his sense of hearing. Hearing a voice in the distance he quickly aimed his pistol in the direction and pulled the trigger. He didn’t intend oh hitting where ever the noise came from but simply to use the flash of the bullet to temporarily get a lock on in. When the flash went off he noticed a figure crouching on a wire above him and quickly reached for Angel. As he pulled her up and looked through the scope her pulled the trigger. The recoil was strong enough to slide him back a few feet from where he was originally standing. At this point he didn’t really care if he hit a vital point or not, now that he knew he was in some kind of trance like state, he simply wanted to get out-

Once the bullet came in contact with Max's body the bullet would just faze right through him like he wasn't even there like a ghost. The bullet would then vanish within the darkness Max then began to walk towards Smith he took small steps but it seemed like he was moving at such a high speed. He would reach Smith's radius in a blink of an eye but the trip was once he reached Smith radius, Max would of formed an image of himself behind Smith aiming to give him a side kick to the calf from behind if this attack would work it would knock Smith off his guard which would lead to Max's remark " Your weak.. But there's hope for you.. All you need to do is listen..." Max would say if Smith would look around after that lead kick his eyes would be in for a surprise as it seemed his location had changed he was now in a graveyard and in front of him was the stones of his parents. " You wasn't strong enough for them.. But maybe you can be strong for yourself all you have to do is follow my path to greatness,"

-As he watched as his bullet phased through this male and vanish into the darkness he quickly backed up and forced another shell into the chamber of Angel. He noticed the male moving closer to him so he decided to lunge backwards and pivot off of his right foot so he could turn around and sprint to keep distance between them. As he turned around he noticed another figure form right in front of him that seemed to be going for a leg sweep. Using his own momentum from the pivot, with the same foot, he leaped into the air, right over the males shoulder and landed. Hearing his words he then turned around and glanced at the both of them and blanks his eyes. When he opened them he was now standing in front of two tomb stones with the engravings “Smith” written on them. As he stood there, he loosened the grip on his rifle and pistol and they both fell to the ground. He looked deep into the engraved letters and began to have flash backs, leaving him venerable to an attack. “Who are you?” He said out loud. His voice being heard for the first time. “How do you know about this”-

[6/10/15 12:40:18 AM] Max: " You can call me Max.. And I know a lot of things.. I know you seek power and Im here to deliver it to you." Max would form behind Smith placing a hand on his shoulder, he looked down at the two graves shaking his head his mission was to recuit Smith and train him but first he needed to know how strong this child really was, Max would raise his left hand summoning Xusna to come if she would land before him in a fighting postion Max would back up before saying " This is your first step at being strong show me..Show me your power! Or die for nothing.."

[6/10/15 9:20:23 PM] Sukii Chan: -Xunsu was quite silent as usual; even over the week that they had spent together and the massive catastrophe due to the blowing up of the city.... and her mentor's very image and resting place. She realized that she had completely started all over again with a person who may or may not be as reliable as he claimed to be however, she knew she needed his help to restore her clan's image so there she stood. Her long black hair was tied into a single pony tail that trailed down her lower back; She wore a grey biker's jacket along with black jeans and black and sleek knee length boots. Her brown eyes were dull as she had her arms folded about her delicate frame as she looked over at Max who had asked her to join him in some recruiting in which case she agreed and strapped her weapons of Senbon, Kunai and her double fans and waited as He used a crow to somehow bait the male towards their location in which case she used her chakra to skillfully run up a wall and take slight cover on a fire escape as she looked. She could tell due to her sensory skills that something was slightly off now about the ally as if It had been laced with a chi... She raised an eyebrow as she saw the male interacting with things that weren't there.. "Illusionary Arts..." She thought to herself as she simply watched and ducked as he shot a round but it wasn't that close, After a while the real Max broke the illusionary tactic and raised  his left hand which signaled her. She frowned slightly as she thought such action would be much like an owner calling his pet. She shook it off as she bounded off of the fire escape and landed in between them as she crouched slightly with her hand waving about her figure like fluid water as she watched the male she was supposed to fight.-

[6/10/15 9:48:22 PM] Sukii Chan:  -As he stood there by the male’s side he slowly closed his eyes thinking about his parents once more and then opened them. His words continued to replay in his head as he slowly backed away from him. He quickly lifted his right hand and grabbed the upper part of his scarf that was covering his mouth and pulled it up a little more so that it would cover his nose. As he was turning around He saw a quick flash of what seemed to be a female land in front of him. “Hmm, so he really was serious” He thought to himself and placed his hand on the grip of his pistol. It was a metallic black glock with white engraving on either side of it that read “Smith” As he stood there; he looked her in her eyes and removed it from its holster showing no emotions. A few strands of his hair casually fell over his face but didn’t seem to bother his vision a bit. “Well if this is the only way then I suppose I must act” He looked at the male as he spoke those words. Shortly after, he aimed his weapon at her and with his index finger he flipped a switch on the right side of the pistol just above the trigger switching it into full auto mode and pulled the trigger sending about 6 consecutive rounds in her direction-

[6/10/15 10:11:16 PM] Sukii Chan: Xunsu was silent as she simply hopped backwards and folded her arms as she stood 15 feet in distance from him. This was during the point that he adjusted his scarf about his mouth. She noticed his weapon was a gun which placed her at a slight disadvantage. She simply held a handsign as small focuses of chi formed around her being known as Chakra due to her background and training in the ancient arts of Shinobi. Her senses were extremely sharp as she picked up on the gun being raised and his finger pullling upon the trigger. As this occurred, the Geisha had disappeared before forming behind him within a space of 3 feet as he would have been just about to release his shots. She with ease reached into her tools as she drew a senbon and with her immense skill of Acupuncture and the human anatomy; She quickly attempted to drive it into his upper shoulder with a speed of 20 mph which would have made impact in 10 seconds and if not avoided would render it immobile as she would have jumped back regardless of its sucess or not.

[6/10/15 10:24:21 PM] Sukii Chan: -As he pulled the trigger and released his first few shots, he felt as if his sixth scene was irritating him. This rarely happens and when it does it’s accurate. He quickly lunged himself into the air about five feet off of the ground while preforming a spinning summersault so he could get a 360 degree visual around him. As he was in the air was now backwards he glanced at her and pulled the trigger again sending about 8 shots in her new position. He sent a little more than six because his equilibrium was off just a bit while he was upside down in the air. “Powers? Well that’s not really fair” He thought to himself, but then again nothing is. He only had 10 more rounds left in the clip before he would have to reload once more, but he still had angel strapped to his back. As he landed he made sure that he was facing the new direction that she was in and maintained a visual on her-

[6/10/15 10:34:32 PM] Sukii Chan: Xunsu was impressed by manuver as she herself also found such an attack elementary as she simply wished to gauge his abilities. Her senbon would have been still in her hand as she watched the acrobatic skills of her counterpart with a blink gaze as she used this time to holseter her senbon and drew a kunai. As she drew the Kunai, she saw him shift his body towards her as he left off 8 rounds which she with ease deflected with swift a precise moments as she overheard his comment as she responded, "You have a gun... Fair isnt really fair is it" She said quite matter of a factly. She pushed her black hair from her face as she allowed him to land in which case he was facing her again. She quickly bounded off towards him as she sped at him with speeds of 21 mph as they stood 9 feet from each other and she would have been upon him in .29 of a second. However, at .10 of this second she released the kunai as she took a deep breath and her chakra churned within her exhaled and out released a dramatic wave of sound that was low enough not to make a sound but was strong enough in force to push the kunai towards him 2x faster than she was moving previously and could deflect his bullets. "Hmm..." she said as she watched.

[6/10/15 10:51:36 PM] Max: He smiled a bit under his scarf as he noticed that she deflected the bullets. “That’s pretty cool” He thought to himself as he took a low fighting stance. As he glanced at her he noticed that she was sprinting towards him. He also watched her change her weapon of choice to something that seemed to be a projectile so he knew that she was going to throw it at him, he just didn’t know the timing. While she was sprinting in his direction he stood still watching her every motion and noticed that she was bending her arm to either throw something at him or reach out for something. More than likely he couldn’t move out of the way fast enough, seeing that he was picking up on her motions a little slower than a normal humans. Scenes he kept his arm out that was pointed at her he simply turned the gun sideways and placed his hand on the outer rim in the location that he predicted she would throw it in by watching her movements. At the same time he was also crouching in attempt to duck if he were to miss the deflection of the projectile-

[6/11/15 5:34:21 PM] Max: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-T7RwmF3so) Watching the battle go on Max smiled watching from above it was nice to see them too in action but he could easily see that Xusna was more in control in this match it showed that Smith needed more work. Seeing this go on Max would deicde to stop the fight before phasing in front of the two as a sign of warning towards them both to put down their weapons once they would do so Max would turn to Smith before placing his hand out. " You have skill even though you need some training.. Something I can give you Power it's what you want right?.." Max would place his hand out towards Smith awaiting for him to give him a handshake if he would do so Max would tug Smith and Xusna towards him into an pit of darkness vanishing fromt he scence returning back to their base.(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mb12zjLRVH1rbq1qeo6_500.gif)
