Snakes in the Sand []
Guest_ATrueKiller: -Haizaku had been walking for about a few days not so he was just getting out of the desert into the edge of a forest for the last few days he felt like something had been trailing him. He had been trying to lose it so he had been walking in a straight line nonstop so far. He turned hopped over a fallen log into a small puddle of water before he kept going on. He turned around still not seeing anything he stopped for a few seconds and considered running but hell to where.-“Alright now come on out!”-He stood in a bit of a clearing light shining through the trees giving him just enough light to see. Next thing a large flame went off right in front of him and what he thought to be a man until he saw too extra arms the bronze skin shone brightly from the surrounding fire.-“Who are you to order me mortal who enters this realm?”-Haizaku tilted his head a bit.-“Umm I’m not sure any more because you may or may not have just made me feel small and insignificant but then again sarcasm is a boss.”-He said folding his arms the large man stood taller.-“I see so are you and idiot or a fool?”-Haizaku was half scared and half amazed, a giant flaming hulking sharp fanged creature had a sarcastic side.-“Umm how about we talk about this civil like?”-The large man thing chuckled.-“You are the one who attempted to be foolish I am Kojin kami of fire.”-Haizaku stood there.-~Kami?~-He though.-~A kami apparently I was not prepared for Shinto realm.~-He though.-“I’m Haizaku human of nothing I suppose what does a god want me for and have to been following me this whole time?”-“No mortal the was Kaminoikari the blade you will fight in order to be worthy of the title of champion.”-“Say what now ok champion blade fight?”-“Yes stop talking and do as I ask.”-“Ok.”-No sooner did Haizaku say it a large snake larger than anything he had seen or read about jump out from the trees and Haizaku dodged to the right raising a brow.-
Guest_Keizumai: -Akuma would be layin on his back with his right arm bent behind his head while His Left arm would be extended into the air, his facial expression hold an serious yet peaceful type look.he'd then extend his index finger upwards as he did an small red sphere would appear hovering right over his finger moving in an circle motion, just then two more little red sphere's would appear moving in the same circular motion as the fire one. The sun would continue to rotate for alittle bit before they started to turn into blackish purple spheres.Akuma would watch these tiny suns above him seemly in deep thought. akuma would then lean upright onto his elbows his facial expression rather serious,taking a deep breathe he'd stand up and his facial expression would go back to it's normal cocky like expression. He then walked over to the water hole in this little oasis taking off his shirt letting it float slowly down to the sand as he made his way over there,"SPLASH" if Ra was anywhere near the water hole or whatever she'd be splashed with a wave of water. Akuma would let himself sink down into the nice cool water for a moment or to before swiming back up to the surface of the water his hair flowing over his face,he'd tilt his head back flipping his hair out his face before wiping the rest of it from his face with his hands"hey Ra we should proably get going pretty soon otherwise we might not find the others they really shouldn't be to far atleast i think they shouldn't haha"he said floating on his back.-
KimiKatsu: What was left of their small campfire was now just softly burning embers amongst blackened sticks and the ashy remains of what used to be some sort of dry material used to help keep the fire alive. The two women had set out to find answers to Sekushi’s questions and to try and somehow get her home. ‘Good. . .I don’t need some sobbing city girl hanging on me every moment of the day.’ Kimi would think to herself as they followed a slightly worn trail in the lush, green grass. Kimi was a few steps ahead of her. Along with their looks, they both walked just the same - their hips moved in a sensual and even rhythm that was smooth and fairly alluring. Sekushi found herself staring down at her savior’s hind end every once in a short while. Every time she caught herself doing so, she shook her head quickly and averted her eyes. “Pay attention.” Came Kimi’s voice. “You’re lesson is beginning. Since it seems that you aren’t from around here and that you are new with the tail and ears, I’m going to have to show you how to do things. Right now, we’re tracking. There are many scents out here, but we are trying to focus on one. As we get closer to the sources of these ‘trails’, they grow stronger. You have to learn to pick out the one that will lead you to your destination. . .” Sekushi nodded, forgetting that a head nod wasn’t quite audible. “Right.” She’d say shortly after realizing. “I, myself, am not even sure where to start with you and this issue of yours, so we’ll have to do a bit of wandering. We’ll start with Bandit Plains. It’s not too far of a walk away since we were already a little more than half way there.” Sekushi nodded again, but her mind was far from the task at hand. She thought of Tsuyo, wondering if he was ok. Just the thought of him in pain and alone made her heart break all over again. She closed her eyes tight and slowed her walking. Kimi could almost feel the distance between their bodies grow and paused to look back at her, her face blank. “It’ll be a longer walk if we continue stopping.” ‘I have to get home. I have to see if he’s ok. I must keep going.’ She’d think to herself as she inhaled deeply and started to walk again. Up ahead, the trees thinned out. Dirt and grass met hot sand nearly a yard ahead. Feeling the heat against her cheeks made Kimi smile a little, an almost rare sight. Being a fire based Kitsune, heat was her best friend. When the heat hit Sekushi’s face, her eyes closed again. Something about it made her feel like she had more energy than before. She felt so much more. . .powerful. “Wow. This is. . .” “If the heat of the desert doesn’t bother you too much, you definitely are not an ice based Kitsune. You’re most likely fire based, like myself.” A short amount of time passed and they were already treading across the soft, blazing hot sand. Normally, Sekushi would have rushed to find shade or a pair of shoes, but her feet weren’t screaming from the heat. It felt normal, no, better than normal. When the two stopped to glance around a bit, Sekushi found herself wiggling her toes in the grainy sand, a small smile gracing her features. “Hmm. . .we can’t rest out in the open. .we’ll just have to keep walking until we find somewhere to eat the deer jerky in my pouch.” Deer jerky? She’d never had it before. She was already forced to eat fish for several days straight. Being picky wasn’t an option in this strange place. Sekushi needed all of the sustenance she could get with all of this walking and stress going on.
Diversity: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjP6z0YOlSA ) Rashida had watched him wander into the water, which was plenty distracting enough for her to sneak behind a few palm trees to finish stitching together an organic chestnut and beige dress. She peeled off the mint colored gown and slipped into the silky organic earthy gown as she then came around the trees. The grasses of the oasis came over her old dress and seemed to biodegrade it into the earth with ease and quickness. As Rashida came towards Akuma when he mentioned heading out again she would nod, her fingers pulling her peacock-shaded hair into a long braid down her front. With curious piercing orange eyes she would approach Akuma and extend her arm. “Then shall we?” She smirked. Ra would wait for him as abu charged into her wings. Unlike before they had changed to an elaborate mixture of browns and beiges, almost as if looking to match a woodland, sandy, or rocky color scheme. Her abuuris built up more and more as she watched him drip from the water’s crystal clear paradise pool. Finally she kicked her wings back and flung them forward, a gust of air drying him save for perhaps damp clothes as she would smile and step forward. She took his hands in hers and then pushed up, her palms sliding up his arms until they would hold onto him as he would of course do the same (lest he had a desire to fall long distances). They shot into the sky like a bullet, the power of her beating wings making the trees rock as she carried them over great lengths of the desert in only a few minutes at a time. But something unique caught her eye from the vantage point of a wandering bird of prey. Her pupils seemed to quiver as she zoomed in her eagle-like sense of sight to see at one edge of the forest there was heavy rustling in the trees, what looked like a serpent or maybe a dragon in the limbs. Then not too far to the right of such a scenario were two kitsunes that had been wandering from the forest and into the desert sands. She would keep her eyes open, the harrowing sunlight glimmering off of her gold facial piercings as she would nod. “Hold on tight Akuma! I’m getting this landing right!” She dove down, a meteor heading towards the earth until her wings flared out and the sands dusted up in a brief but massive cyclone. Her feet touched the ground in wooden wedge heels as she would let go of Akuma and turn to the two women, waving her hands. She didn’t recognize them, they could be hostile. But hey, Ra was high on her own home-grown herb. Just as she waved to the women to see if they’d notice her, she heard the heavy rustling once more. Something massive was in the nearby trees, and it sounded deadly. “Wanna’ check shit out?” She glanced back to Akuma, her eyes more curious than ever.
Guest_Keizumai: -Akuma still swiming in the crystal clear blue water on his back he'd glance up to see Ra sneaking behind some Palm trees. Akuma would then start to swim towards the shoreline of the little pool only to see Ra walking towards him and extending her hand out to him"We Shall"he said smirking abit. he noticed that her wings had changed colors. not only that but she was no longer wearing that mint colored gown, but now she was wearing an silky more organic looking gown.~so thats what she was doing eh~he thought to himself as an gust of air hit him drying him off almost completely. She then grabbed both of his arm sliding her hands up them until she got an good grip. He'd do the same tho he was tempted to grab somewhere elsewhere.~does she not kno im a guy whats up with the silk gown..it's like she just asking for it~he thought as they shot into the sky like bullets,akuma would start to laugh agian"whooooooooo hahaha hey try not to kill us again"of course he was joking as usual. they were moving pretty fast they covered alot of ground in an short period of time.She then tell him to hold on tight and that she got it this time."you got it babe"he said as he tighten his grip. This time she actually did have the landing as they hit the ground she'd turn towards two other being that looked similar to foxes, and before he knew it he once again found his eyes wondering were they shouldn't, when she glanced back at him and Said you wanna check it out"Hell Yeah.. I mean ya sure let go check that out right the noise haha"he said as he started walking-
KimiKatsu: The kintune women weren’t too far from the tree line of the thick forest when both sets of ears perked, catching the sound of many rustling leaves. Both women froze. Unlike Kimi, Sekushi’s heart was racing. If there were fox people in this world, what else could there possibly be? She prayed they wouldn’t run into any bandits and tightened her forearms against her breasts all the more to keep her bare skin covered. Kimi was turned away from the direction they were headed, her deep hazel eyes staring at the once moving trees and bushes a ways behind them. “What. . .what is it?” Sekushi would ask as she, too, turned to look to the trees. She caught a smell – a strange scent that she hadn’t caught a whiff of at all since she’d landed. “It smells reptilian.” ‘Reptilian. . .’ The smell was almost overpowering as a soft breeze blew it in their direction. The word ‘big’ popped up into Sekushi’s mind and she blinked. “A. . .big reptile?” She’d ask slowly. There was no answer. Then, there was a burst of wind and flying sand nearby that shot two newer scents right up into their small, sensitive noses. Both women whirled around – Kimi with one hand reached back and gripping the 8 inch katana sheathed just above the bases of her tails and Sekushi with her arms still wrapped around her chest to keep her breasts hidden. The two figures were a good, safe distance away but she still stepped in front of Sekushi to try and keep her protected, though one of her long fox ears was half turned and slightly folded to keep audibility even between their mystery leaf rustler and these two visitors. Sekushi peered around Kimi, her bright hazel hues wide with curiosity and fear. The feminine figure’s large wings had majority of her attention. Flash backs from back when she used to read the Maximum Ride series flowed through her mind instantly. “Stay behind me just in case. Not everyone you run into would be willing to he-.” Just before she could finish, the winged woman started to wave her hands at them. A sweat drop appeared at the back of Kimi’s head and slowly moved down before it faded away. Sekushi blinked a few times before slowly moving her arm to wave back. “Forgetting something. . .” Kimi would say as she felt the gentlest breeze hit the side of her face as Sekushi waved. Realizing she had uncovered herself, Sekushi squeaked and replaced her arm back over her chest and hugged herself tight. Before another word could be spoken, the rustling noise returned. It was louder. Like whatever it was, was closer to the forest ended and where the desert met. Though the female displayed a friendly sort of greeting, Kimi was still considering them enemies. ‘Two in the front. . .one big one or multiple smaller ones back in the trees behind us. . .’ Kimi’s face was emotionless while Sekushi quivered lightly and leaned up against Kimi’s back a little. The more experienced fox woman froze. Contact like this was something she hadn’t experienced in over a decade. Suddenly, her vision began to wave around the edges. There was a loud noise as if she was being sucked back into a memory as the area around her shifted into the dark, musty old apartment she’d claimed as her home back in the old city of souls before it mysteriously disappeared. Her eyes widened and she felt a pang in her chest as she slowly turned around, only to nearly bump her nose into a wall. No Sekushi. ‘Shit. . .’ She’d think to herself as her illusion slowly began to feel more and more real.
Guest_ATrueKiller: -Haizaku countered with just fireball after fireball though the snake wove through the barrage and lead on its attack Haizaku was trying his best to keep it at a distance but it constantly forced him to use ash boost to get out of the way. Haizaku wove through a set of trees and the snake just knocked them over in its pursuit so Haizaku needed to fight it head on if he could not run he would just waist energy and never be able to put up a fight and dodging was the same thing distance attacks did not seem to be working either. Haizaku ran and tackled the snake and was quickly wrapped in coils of the large creature as it begun to slowly crush the life out of him.-~Damn I fucked up.~-He thought remembering that some snakes did this to kill prey it’s called construction. Haizaku was not slow to react though he started to heat up his cloths caught fire and so did his skin as he looked down seeing the thick scales of the creature turn cherry red with heat. Haizaku soon realized this did not help the snake did not budge.-“He if you loosen your coils Il let you eat me without a fight sound good?”-The snake only squeezed. “Ok you don’t care I get it…”-The wind was knocked out of him.-“ Ok big guy look I have had enough of you shit man.”-Haizaku said through chocked words as Kojin watched then it hit him god of fire, strange snake, snakes immune to fire it made since. Now he needed to think of something and fast he did not have any time left and he was sure he had already broken a few ribs.-“Hey snakey listen to me and listen close I have a god already the thing is it’s the kami of water if I begged I could have him flood this place and I can prove it.”-Haizaku shot a ball of he creating an explosion under the lake that was connected to the puddle he had stepped in earlier that he could now see being raised off the ground and all. The explosion caused water to go in the air and come down like rain upon the snake and he. The snake dropped him immediately but Haizaku was not done he grabbed the snakes tail and whipped it into tree only to find he was now holding a sword stuck into a tree.-“You have passed I shale restore your body and give you your armor.”-“Armor was not in the deal big guy.”-“I know but you lied and this armor is just something so I can keep tabs on you because you have shown you can be wicked and I… dislike the wicked.”-Haizaku nodded and next thing he knew images and word popped into his head about how to use his powers though it hurt his eyes nose and ears to have them flood into him like that but he was slightly grateful.-“Thanks no wait I worked for that never mind.”-The god left in a gout of flame he was left alone and now that he was he felt like there was something coming toward him or already in the same area he turned looking through the trees though he could not see pass them even with his keen eye sight.-
Diversity: Rashida would see the way the women were a bit skeptical about her, but alas it didn’t matter too much. When Akuma said he’d go exploring with her she turned towards the forest opening and would begin towards it. But alas- after only a few steps she felt something was… amiss. The earth seemed to tremble, specifically from the forests as some of the trees pressed up against the soil they were rooted in as if being thumped on from underneath the earth itself. She glanced around her feet as there started to appear several small sand traps began to form around both her and Akuma as well as Sekushi and Kimi. She glanced over to the other women as suddenly a loud boom radiated from behind her- towards the center of the desert. (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=fmjanIdpWKM ) Rashida turned quickly, seeing about ten /Hebi/ that had arisen from the sand. These were serpentine Yokai, much like how Kitsunes were fox Yokai. They each were about twenty feet in length, with average human-sized upper bodies (appearing as a Naga would). They wore varied leathers and furs, some even looking to be the skins of others to form tribal attire. Some wore nothing at all, but each of them were wielding something. Claws or swords, one female Hebi with a thorny whip in tow. But they were child’s play compared to their leader as the ground suddenly quaked heavily, and sand burst upwards in a fifty foot plume that seemed like an explosive had gone off. Ra burst into the air, having flown just up above the earth before she landed to keep herself steady. What had risen from the earth was far greater in size than the Naga-looking Hebi. (http://www.epilogue.net/sites/default/files/imagecache/gallery_med/images/04/24/10414_1087185600.jpg) It was a sixty foot long russet and crimson serpent beast, a massive snake Yokai with a beastly humanoid top half that was still scaled and muscled in an unreal fashion. He had a jagged sword about eight feet in length that appeared almost like a serrated fang, and a thick, powerful shield that when struck by the sun shimmered with what looked like a mystical enchantment. It roared with pitch black eyes, long piercing fangs enough to punch through a normal sized human or humanoid, and a set of strange horizontal horns pushing out of its bald head. “Holy fuckin’ shit.” Rashida said as she brought her hands together and clapped. “This don’t look good for our favor, but I’m likin’ the excitement!” She would drew her back foot back and begin to channel her abuuris heavily into her body as the ten normal Hebi began to come forward. Four of them, all male, slithered to Sekushi and Kimi, displaying unreal senses of speed and ease of travel even in the hard to pace sandy terrain. Two of them were bare-handed and two had normal swords. The other six were heading towards Rashida and Akuma, rather thinking the winged one would make a good meal. These six included a female wielding a thorny whip, three sword-wielders, and two hand to hand combatants. The normal Hebi had a slight resistance to magic via elemental damage, but otherwise had no exceptional resistances. They also displayed obvious agility, speed, and flexibility alongside a sense of strength that would soon be put forth to view in all of its minor awe versus the grandiose of the beast in the distance of the desert.
Guest_Keizumai: -Akuma facial expression was rather calm as the ground began to shake violently underneath him. He Looked down around his feet, Akuma would pull out Black and Sliver and began firing around his feet where the traps srung up as he jumped backwards."The Fuck Is That"he said as he aimed his guns at six human hybrid snakes"heh yo Ra You Ready to kick him to the moon"he said smiling(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyr5YTd_8i8)"Lets Dance" Akuma would start walking fowards towards them, One of the barehanded hebi charged forward swinging at akuma with combinations of haymakers and tail swipes"Come On Don't Tell Me All That Shaking Was Just For Show"he said as he caught the hebi's tail swinging him it around in an circle(like goku did freeza)before tossing it into the air and began raining down an almost endless barrage of fire, one hebi tried to attack him while he was firing at the other. Akuma would just raise his right hand and placing Sliver over his shoulder shooting it directly in it's head. the gun fire lasted for what seemed like forever after he stopped firing the only thing that would be left of the first hebi(the one he threw in the air) Would be chunks of flesh, while the second one would just be missing it's head"All Come that was to easy"just then he'd feel a sharp pain around his right leg as an thorned whip pulled his leg from under him causing him to smack the back of head head on the ground, before being pulled across the sand. The hebi would lift him off the ground, he'd be dangling their in front of the ulgy creature"Hey If Ya Wanted A Date All You Had To Do Was Ask"he said with an cocky like expression on his face which must have pissed it off cause it roar in his face"Damn NeverMind Stick To The Kiddnappin Talk About Bad Breath"the hebi would then begin to repeatedly slam him into the ground whipping him around into the sand.Akuma would then close his eyes and then open them again His Eyes Would Be red with a black pattern and an skull right in the pupil(http://yakuza-mob-roleplay.wikia.com/wiki/File:Images23.jpg how it looks) The hebi would suddenly be clouded in an blackish purple flame causing it to let go of the whip and scream in pain as the flames began to reduced the hebi the to nothin literlly to nothin not even ashes were left afterwards.Akuma just layed there looking up"Hey Ra You take over im lay here for a moment or two"he was still pretty rattle from being slamed so many time~damn my back hurt fucking bastards~-
KimiKatsu: There were screams – hers. . .her children’s. They were all melded together and all worked together to create a painful ache in her ears with an annoying ringing sensation accompanying it. Kimi brought her hands up to clamp them over her ears while she lowered her head. Unaware of the illusion Kimi had been thrown into, Sekushi called out to her. The ground was shaking and something felt very, very wrong. Before she could call out again, there was a very loud BOOM that came from the desert area behind them. Sekushi clamped her dainty hands over her large fox ears, her bare breasts forgotten for the moment as pain ripped through her eardrums. Sekushi cried out and Kimi (while in her illusion) froze. One scream out of the others stuck out. It was a very recently familiar sound. A female. One who’s pitch was slightly higher than her own. ‘Sekushi?’ If she could hear the other woman from inside of this hell, she wasn’t far gone. Kimi knew it wasn’t her time, nor was she ever on the verge of insanity. Both of their ears pounded painfully. Sekushi fell to her knees, her hands still over her ears, and Kimi rose up from hers. Her list of wrong doings may have been fairly long and she may not have been a ‘people person’, but she kept her promises. Especially the ones that seemed worth-while. Though this ‘Sekushi Yuri’ was a bit of dead weight, Kimi felt. . .connected. She had also noticed their almost identical looks the night prior. “Pain.” She’d mutter lightly. “Hurt me.” She’d whisper. Just then, her body shot back like it was thrown. The illusion shattered as pain flew through her body upon impact as she hit the ground hard. The sudden brightness of the desert sun made her shut her eyes tightly and the smells around her flooded up into her nose, almost overwhelming her. Sekushi screamed out yet again and Kimi’s eyes ripped open. She was on her feet in no time. Sekushi stood between Kimi and a large Hedi that came slithering their way. ‘Did she. . .push me?’ They couldn’t afford to waste any more time; just as Sekushi ducked down low, narrowly avoiding a swinging sword. Kimi leapt into the air and used Sekushi’s back to push herself up higher. Everything seemed to be in slow motion as Kimi’s hands gripped the back of the beasts head while her knee simultaneously came up to smash itself against the large being’s nasal area. She could hear the bone break, feel it collapsing against her hard knee, and smell the blood that came rushing out instantly after contact was made. The beast cried out, only to growl and knock Kimi off with its free hand. Sekushi was already standing when Kimi hit the ground. ‘I have to do something. . .’ she thought to herself. Kimi huffed as she sat up, that’s when the other three Naga-like creatures came into view. Sekushi was frozen. What could she do? She was brand new to fighting like this and she hardly ever fought or practiced, at all. Her knees quaked and all she could do was watch as two came for her while the other two broke off and slithered towards Kimi. “Move you baka!” Came Kimi’s thunderous shout. Without much though, Sekushi did as she was told – she dove to the left, not caring about the face full of sand she’d get. She felt an intense heat whoosh past her and an angry hiss shortly after. When she looked up, Kimi was pulling her hand back towards her to catch the blade of the sword between her flattened hands while she pulled her head back to avoid the other’s fist. A strong jab was forced up into her ribs, causing her to lose her breath, but Sekushi was unable to continue watching. The two snake-like beings were practically on top of her. All she could do now was close her eyes and throw her arms out to try and push them away. It was then that she felt a heavy burning sensation at her very core. It spread through her body like a raging wildfire. Images of Tsuyo played through her mind and she felt it. The intense heat at her palms, but it didn’t hurt or burn. It was just. . .there. The two beasts that were crowding over her had slithered back to avoid the flames that spewed from her hands almost uncontrollably. The sound of cold, hard steel cutting through air made goose bumps rise all over her bare skin. *Cling* Metal on metal. Kimi stood over Sekushi, blood oozing from her nose and a cut just below her eye and her 12 inch katana in hand. Her arms trembled as she kept her sword pressed against the enemy’s. Just like before, they were surrounded, being watched intently by the two without swords while the other with a sword raised it high slowly, as if to mock them. “Get up.” Kimi’s voice was stern. Sekushi did as she was told. “Fight.” Was all that was said before their swords were pulled apart. The heat that radiated off of Kimi was intense, overpowering; standing beside her made her feel as if she’d just done some sort of drug or drank an energy drink to boost her strength and energy. “Use it while you can.” Kimi would say just before her blade collided with the blade of the snake-like being she was fighting. The other sword wielding foe brought his weapon down, aiming for Sekushi’s left shoulder area. Her reaction timing proved to be. . .much faster than it was before – MUCH faster. She found herself dodging to the right to avoid the attack and before thinking, she spun herself around, dragging her left foot around only to bring it up as high as it would go as she completed the turn. Her toes smashed into the beasts ribs and she felt like she broke all of her toes at once. As the beast stumbled back, so did she as she held her foot in her hands. In doing so, she stumbled back against one of the empty handed creatures whom grabbed her by her shoulders and lifted her up. Sekushi screamed while he brought her close to his face and hissed at her. Fear over powered her and she screamed again – only this time, something quite lucky happened. As her mouth opened, she felt a burning heat shoot up her throat. Flames spewed from her open mouth into the beasts face and eyes which burned and blacked. She was dropped instantly. After landing on her side, Sekushi jumped to her feet. The snake creature she’d burned was falling back, his hands covering his face. It all would have been pretty cool to her if he hadn’t rammed into Kimi and knocked her over. Feeling the brute’s body hit her quite suddenly, Kimi yelled out and was thrown off balance.
Guest_ATrueKiller: -Haizaku ripped the sword from the tree and turned in the direction of what he was filling he could fill large tremors shaking the ground under him if he did not know where the creatures were, he did now. Haizaku ran off in the direction dodging trees left and right. When he finally got out of the forest he was surprised at what he saw he looked around assessing the situation all he saw was a cloud of sand and then when it settled he saw a large behemoth of a serpentine creature several smaller ones fighting he looked a bit closer he saw Kuma and Miss chocolate ass whoopin fighting them off. He took off after them letting out a war cry.-“I’m gonna melt you to an ingot!.” And ran up to one the speed making him slide to the creature and he ducked just as it did and uppercut in the spot directly under the rib cage then stood up ran forth a bit and with his left hand punched back down into the ground and stomped that mofo once to put it down one of the next ones swung a sword at him and he let it come catching it in his mouth the most crazed look in his face this was Haizaku’s love for battle controlling him as he went into berserker. He used his right hand to swing it at the belly of the Yoki though it moved back and out of the way though the sword was no longer in its hand as Haizaku yanked it away and spit it out. He rushed it again and grabbed its skull with his right hand digging the claws into its skull and brain. The blood dripped down his arm as he looked around looking for any more near him. He then got tripped up another had somehow got to him and tripped him up with its tail but Haizaku was not stunned in his rage he reacted a lot fast to what happened around him he whipped out his sword and up and slashing motion just left a large gash in its chest as he rolled to his feet he then whipped his hand through the air sending out an half mood shaped wave of heat though how the Yoki dodged it he had no idea though it did a rushed at him he narrowed his eyes locking onto it making sure not to miss for a third time.-“Ashes to ashes.”-He said lifting a hand up and using ash boost to close the gap in seconds he brought his hand down on its head and let out a fire ball at the same time running it to the ground as the explosion hit it in the back of the head taking its head clean off the force sent sand through the air the blood splattering on to him though it burned away.-“Hey bitch…I hit that.”-He said grinning as he looked around to see how everyone else was doing. When he did he saw four more against two women he took off jumping into the air he brought a hand down on the burning Yoki’s head just to make sure the next one swung its sword at him and he punched the blade snapping it in two then jumped up round house kicking the Yoki down ward into the ground when he looked over he soon realized he had no immunity he ripped off a bit of his cloak and handed it to her.-“Here so I can fight without being distracted.”-He said laughing somewhere deep in his mind.-“Do you think you could handle it for here?”-He said looking over to his friends wanting to jump over and help them too.-
BarastarVentrue: /Three days after fighting Grom and Reiner in the ancient forest and then being summoned to his fathers side, he had a new edge and history placed upon his mind. Ven had been born from a wolf and that this world was his actual home. Wiping some of his fathers blood from his lips with his thumb he would sigh, as he was looking down upon it with an almost lost understanding of it all. Why was Ven transported to the other world so suddenly after his birth? To live in the other world and only finding out about his real father until now only to end up eating him at his request. Grom and Reiner, the two massive Dire Wolver, Vens brothers, laying down next to him. They were the only family that the 3 had left in this or any other world. The forest thick with the smells of the wild and dew from the mist coating the leaves and branches of the trees. As Ven looked to the palm of his hand in a long thought Reiner would nuzzle his snout against Vens hand. Looking up to him a bit concerned for they were family of the greatest wolf in history, even though Fenrir had died by his childrens death it was still a good death non the less. For it was what the great Fenrir wanted and for that his children would gladly accept. Placing his hand atop of Reiners head and petting him softly he would sigh and smirk. Speaking softly to his brothers./ I suppose its only us against the world now. I suppose I can live with that. What about you two? /Reiner almost smirking at Vens words would nod a bit. Grom opening his eyes and then rolling over onto Ven would make a low wolf like chuckle. Ven couldnt help but scratch groms stomach a bit as well. Then hopping to his feet he would stretch a bit an look at the other two./ Lets get out of these woods and see if we cant get a little revenge for dear old dad. What do you say brothers? /The two massive dire wolves hopping to their feet as well would growl in approval. Their eyes sharp and unclouded at the possability of some revenge as well as a bit of blood lust in their eyes. They were a pack now and that was all the strength they could ever need. Heading towards the edge of the forest to the sands they would smell a few different things on the wind. Ven could see some of the people from the world he had come from as well as some beings perhaps from this world. Reptilian in nature. He would point in the direction and nod./ That way fellas. I do believe we will start there. What say you? /The wolves howling in unison would give off a loud echoing howl that could be heard for miles. Like a thunder clap in a storm. All three at once would take off in a full sprint towards the fighting like a true pack at last. Seeing the creatures fighting with a blood lust in all three of their eyes. Smirking canines and licking their chops./
Diversity: Rashida watched carefully as they approached. She did the first thing she could that would be the most helpful of any tactic she could come across in a fight with snaky things. She kicked off her wooden wedge heels and began to run through the sand with her wings pushed up against her back. The abu was ready to explode as she launched from the sand like a bullet. Her wings added speed to her body as she stuck out both fists and slammed into one of the Hebi before he could prepare himself. She and the Hebi went flying before her wings spanned out fast and hard, turning as she began to fly straight up. She had the Hebi by the tail as she flew into the sky until the rest of them were specs. “I’m going to… KICK YOUR ASS TO THE MOOOOOON MU’FUCKAAAAA!” She threw him and as he started to come back down her wings bent in and she twisted, abu filling one leg. She did a spinning roundhouse kick midair and slammed it into the cheek of the serpentine Yokai, sending him flying further into the atmopshere until she couldn’t see him. Her body began to fall, a rapid descent down into the earth until she flared out her wings and began to glide only two or three feet above the sand. Her long peacock colored braid whipped behind her as she turned and ducked under the incoming blow of the last of the Hebi, twisting up around him and dropping a hard left thrust kick into his back. Without having knees, he only bobbed instead of buckling. He turned around and she ducked down once more, bringing up a sharp upwards crescent kick with the right leg traveling crescent-leftward, cracking the jaw with her foot and then striking him a second time in the crescent’s descent back to guard posture. The Hebi faltered for a moment, shaking his head and seething but before she could be taken advantage of, Rashida had already jumped into motion. She put one foot on his tail wrapped in front of him for stability, and the other foot came forward, toe to his trachea. { ~Killer Avant: Derived from Muay Thai, this kick can begin from most positions, and has more power if it starts with Ra running towards her opponent. She jumps up and plants one leg on the opponent's thigh, the other leg coming in to the neck. The toe is pointed to the trachea or below the Adam's Apple, and when thrust out, vented with her abu, collapses the lower larynx or upper trachea. The effect of the Killer Avant kick is often suffocation, that without medical treatment will inevitably lead to death. } The Killer Avant kick was ultimately successful, collapsing the upper airway beneath the cricoid cartilage as the Hebi began to clutch at its throat and gasp shrilly for air that it could not gather. Soon, it would fall over unconscious and snake around itself in the agony of its slow demise. Rashida had landed on her feet in a guarding Jiu Jitsu posture, watching the massive creature in the distance now. ( http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=IQtvKp5wGWU ) The massive creature stared down with pitch black eyes at the tiny beings before it that had defeated the other smaller and weaker Hebi. He let out a vicious roar and his massive tail whipped up and then came down, cracking into the forestry behind them. He smashed down trees and rocks, blocking off their exit through the forest that a majority of them had arrived through. The ground shook at such a blow, enough so that it could make many of them stumble off balance. The Yokai Lord roared out as it raised its massive sword in the air and began forward. It moved faster than most could dare imagine. Sand was a hard terrain to run through due to the give and malleability of it, but to the slithering bastard of a monster, it was the perfect terrain. Deep dips and troughs in the sand would exist where he raced around them, as the beast came up and launched himself downwards. He put his attacking arm by his side while he held the shield up in front of him. BOOOOMMM!!!!!! The serpent’s tail launched into the sky, whipping about until it disappeared and only a sand whirlpool existed behind him. Where had he gone to though?! The ground rumbled and several more sand traps appeared, to which would ensnare the feet of any who stepped into them for a temporary period of time. Suddenly, the ground quaked only a mere half-second before a beast launched forward. Massive horizontal horns broke the earth alongside the ridged skull. Large black eyes opened and locked onto Haizaku as he parted his mouth and let out a hiss that was capable of rupturing the eardrums of those within a fifteen feet radius of the beast. The Yokai Lord didn’t wait for him to attack though, he turned and his massive scaled body passed by Haizuka. He opened his mouth and flared his thin nostrils, his fangs unraveling to a dangerous and predatory length, dripping with venom as he moved like a train towards Sekushi with the intent to drive his fangs deep into her. While his body was moving this way, his shield in his left hand (facing opponents Kimi and Haizaku) and his blade in his right, his tail was altogether making a mess elsewhere. Beyond long enough to make a mess for the others, his massive tail had lifted up and came down, a scaled and unbelievably durable whip that was lashing vertically thrice over in an attempt to thwack and smash Rashida and Akuma in the downward blows that would expand over an area of twenty feet in width (Akuma and Ra’s left to right expanse) and fifteen feet front to back (Akuma and Ra’s forward space and behind space). The Yokai Lord was a challenging enemy- with stats unknown to his opponents. But he was highly resistant if not immune to fire and fire-based attacks, which was how he’d gained old lores as the Fire Hebi in previous years. His full body set of scales also served as a highly useful set of armor that guarded his body. The Yokai Lord’s venom was capable of creating instant paralysis due to its dosage, if the bite itself did not kill.
Guest_Keizumai: -Akuma would watch as the gaint snake hebi which akuma figured was the leader of the other ones"So You Finally Decided To Join The Party hopefully you'll put up a better fight"he said his as his body rose off the ground and onto his feet. The Hebi would thrash it's tail into the forest blocking their exit. the hebi would then charge in like he was going to attack but it'd actually create an whirlpool of sand and disappear"awwww come on now don't be shy"the hebi would launch itself from under the ground facing the others. while it's tail was facing himself and Ra. The Gaint hebi would then start to swing it's tail around in attempt to smash him and ra"Let Dance Bitch HHHAAAAAAAAAA"Akuma would would raise off the ground and an black like twister like arua would appear around him his body. his body would then drop back down to the ground, the veins in his arms would turn a bright crimson red and his arm would have an black aura swirling around them. the hebi would Swing it's tail once again at them only this tima akuma would catch it's tail stopping it from thrashing about or so he thought the hebi continued it's thrashing akuma would time it's thrashing so when he lets go the hebi he flew through the air towards the front of the hebi as he did Akuma would begin firing black ad Sliver at the hebi's shelid. Akuma Would Then Charge An HUGE amount of Chi into Black and Sliver firing the Chi Bullet at the shelid only the difference would be that he'd combine the The Shockwave technique into the bullets So not only does the bullet hit the shelid mutiple time at once the high vibration should allow it to peirce the shelid and if the first one didn't do it he'd fire 11 more of these before he'd run out of the devil trigger-
AlessandraSkar: Shira swiped the back of her wrist across her sweat-glazed forehead as the white hot Shinto Realm sun beamed down on her. As she pulled her hand away, she couldn't help but take yet another look at her newly grown claws. Okuninushi had told her about the power of her claws, their ability to retract and slice through stone and metal and the venom they possessed that would enable her to walk into an opponent's dreams. She shuddered at the thought of being this...creature, yet at the same time, it was interesting. “Well...at least SOME things are still the same. Right, Daisuke?” She looked over her shoulder at the newborn baby strapped around her back, who remained silent as his large, curious eyes stared unknowingly at her. Shira was more than relieved to have been able to give birth to a healthy baby boy and to have done it in a world outside of her own was strange yet a blessing at the same time. Though she had to wonder...could it possibly have some sort of effect on him? She sighed, lifting her eyes to the sky above as she trekked across the sandy plains beneath her feet. The gods who had found had given her clothing to wear for the remainder of her time here. A set of combat gear of course. Rather exposing, but at least her enormous belly had returned back to its toned glory thanks to Okuninushi's spectacular healing. Now, all she had to do was find nearby civilization. Someplace that she could find shelter and food for her son. “This place can't be complete wilderness.” She thought out loud. “I mean, there has to be SOMETHING around here.” She released another deep sigh. “Don't worry, Daisuke. If I have to walk 3,000 more miles just to find you something to eat, then I w--” A sudden noise stopped her, the sound of rapid movement, hissing, roaring. Voices. Shira stopped short. “Are those...people?” She started to walk faster, unaware that she was taking long, feline-like strides on the tips of her toes until she skidded to a halt at the top of a large sand dune. Her eyes widened when she looked off in the distance below her and saw five, unknown figures fighting what appeared to be three serpent-like monsters. Shira frowned. 'What are those things?' She thought to herself. 'I've only seen creatures like that in comics and movies.' She swallowed, then glanced back over her shoulder at little Daisuke. The usual Shira would have dived right into the action, however, times would be different now that this baby was hanging from her shoulders. She knew that, but when she looked back at the commotion going on in the distance, her typical nature quickly began to take over.
KimiKatsu: Help couldn’t have come soon enough. The women were far too distracted to sense the male join in on their fight, but they weren’t complaining when he jumped in and disarmed the first sword wielding Yoki. Kimi rolled over onto her back and brought her knees in towards her chest before kicking them up and out to help get her to her feet. The Serpent he had disarmed and kicked down started to get back up, but Sekushi’s left heel came down on the beasts temple hard, forcing his head against the ground. She felt his head split open and she could feel the warm blood starting to coat the bottom of her foot. “Yes.” Sekushi would say, her soft voice shaking a little. “We can handle the other two on our own. Thank you for your help.” As she spoke, she took the piece of cloth he ripped from his cloak. It was just big enough to wrap around her torso and cover her nipples and part of her breasts. This wasn’t the place to be frolicking half nude, at least not that she thought. Kimi almost smiled. It was like a proud parent moment, though she hadn’t taught Sekushi anything that had to do with fighting. While Sekushi was tying the cloth around herself and positioning it to cover her nipples, Kimi felt a presence behind her. There wasn’t time to think. One breath in and she was already spun around and engaging the Yoki male that rushed up behind her. His sword was collided with hers, nearly knocking it out of her hand, but she kept her grip tight and brought her leg up to kick him back. He scowled at her, blood still leaking from his cracked skull from when she kneed him earlier. He was swinging his sword around, enraged that he’d let such a petite fox woman draw so much blood from him before he could even touch her or her companion. While the two were locked in battle, Sekushi grabbed a piece of the shattered sword off of the ground. She didn’t seem to feel the sharp piece of metal slicing into her hand as she gripped it tight and charged at the weaponless Yoki that approached her. He towered over her, yet she was somehow able to push herself off of the ground using nothing but her legs and swipe the bit of metal at his face. She was impressed with herself, but what she had done wasn’t nearly enough. All that he had received was a small cut across his cheek. Sekushi cursed under her breath. Meanwhile, Kimi was dodging the sword the other Yoki was practically flailing about. She still wasn’t ready to engage him ‘appropriately’, but she knew what she could do while she charged herself up. As their swords locked together once again, she looked up into his eyes. She could tell he was weak minded just by the way he lost his temper. When their eyes met, he froze. His eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, as if to say something, but he couldn’t look away. Kimi’s three tails slowly began to fan pheromones towards him and a smirk slowly crawled across her face. She could see his chest expand as he breathed it in deeply. . .deeper. . .and he was caught. His sword slowly lowered and she dragged the edge of her katana across his blade. “Be a good boy. . .,” Her voice was heavily seductive as she slowly brought the tip of her blade up and pressed it lightly against his chest where his heart would be located “and stay still for me.” He didn’t speak a word as he listened, charmed by the Kitsune. Time was of the essence. Kimi brought her katana back before ramming it right through his chest with as much force as she could put into such a close contact blow. The blade pierced his scaly skin and his beating heart. The pain of it all brought him back from his little trance and he yelled out as she yanked the blade back out, making sure to make a mess of his tissue and muscle. “Thanks.” She’d say, her seductive smirk fading into a more devious one as she back away and let him fall to the ground to bleed out. When she turned around, she almost choked on her own saliva. Sekushi was on the back of the last of the four they had been fighting. While he slithered around and tried to pull her off of him, she was bringing her fists down on his head rapidly. “Die! Why won’t you just DIE!” She shouted, frustration evident in her voice. Kimi was forced to bite her lip to hold back a smile and a little giggle fit before rushing in with her Katana now sheathed. She had saved up enough of her energy to be able to stand about 6 feet away from them with her feet shoulder width apart and her arms raised as if she was holding up a gun. Her right hand was being supported by the left while her ring and pinky fingers were tucked in against her palm. Her thumb was aimed up at the sky with her pointer and middle fingers out and aimed at the reptilian annoyance. “Baka!” She shouted. Both the Yoki and Sekushi paused to look at her. When the two women locked eyes, it was like Sekushi knew what was going to happen. She leapt off of the reptiles shoulders and crawled away as quickly as she could all the while heat gathered at Kimi’s aimed finger tips. The Yoki started to slither towards her and Kimi’s smirk returned and she soon began to giggle. The Yoki stopped just a few steps in front of her and looked down at her, confusion in his eyes. “Should I make your pulse rise. . .Or. . .” She paused for a moment and his gaze dropped down to the rapidly growing ball of flames and the intense heat at her fingertips. “STOP!” She’d finish playfully. Instantly, the flames erupted from her ‘gun’, continuously engulfing the Yoki. It’s screams were masked by the roaring of the focused inferno and after about thirty seconds within the fire, his body hit the ground and crumbed into a pile of ash and burn chunks of bone. Kimi lowered her arms; feeling a bit weakened, and closed her eyes slowly. As she breathed in, she took in the heat and energy from her surrounding to refuel herself a little to keep herself prepared. She was usually always sucking the energy and heat from wherever she stayed, but she kept it limited so the life in the area wouldn’t die off. “Wow.” Sekushi’s voice made Kimi jump and both sets of ears folded back; Kimi’s out of annoyance and Sekushi’s out of fear. “Dammit. Don’t do that. . .” “Sorry. . .I just. . .that was pretty cool.” Kimi’s trio of plush, black tails slowly swayed from left to right while she turned away from the remnants of their last ‘visitor’. “It helps when I’m in a pinch. It just drains me if I don’t keep it controlled. I didn’t mean for it to be so. . .intense.” Sekushi nodded. “We all lose control sometimes.” Suddenly, there was another loud BOOM. The fox women winced, their ears ringing, then were both thrown off balance by the heavily shaking ground. Sekushi fell back onto her tail and yelped out, feeling one of the bones crack a little within. Kimi stumbled back, the wobbled forwards a bit while reaching out to help Sekushi, but her averted gaze made Kimi curious. When she looked in the direction Sekushi stared in, her jaw dropped. The much larger snake-like creature was rushing off. She had caught a glimpse of him just before he vanished. The flying sand was almost blinding before it dropped back to the ground. “Get up.” She’d say, her voice serious again. Sand traps erupted from the ground all around and Sekushi’s right arm became trapped in one of them. She screamed out and tried pulling it from the trap, but it was no use. Kimi grabbed her free arm and tugged as well. “Ow, ow, ow!” “Sorry, sorry.” Kimi examined the trap. It had been a long time since she last saw one, but she knew that there was no use trying to pull. Sekushi would be stuck for a while. “Sit tight. You’ll be stuck there for a little bi-.” When she straightened, her eyes locked on a very large, long fanged snake creature that was speeding towards Sekushi. Both of their hazel gazes widened and Kimi rushed to stand between Sekushi and the charging beast. Kimi wasn’t ready to pull off another blast, so she’d have to try and distract it or get it away from Sekushi to buy some time. It was far too big for her Katana to do much damage unless she stabbed into its eyes, which would be a long shot, at the moment.
Guest_ATrueKiller: -Haizaku was just turning around after watching Ra do in the others and then that’s when the giant of a monster take into action first was the shaking of earth which kept Haizaku from even charging it himself. Then next thing Haizaku knew it reared up and went right into the sand going under the sand Haizaku got his sword ready but when it erupted from the ground sand spraying into his face. He shook his head looking over to see its bulking head zoom right past him he ran after it trying to keep up seeing it was trying to attack the already hurt members of the little fighting squad they had. He was staying somewhere right behind the neck of the giant Yokai his sword in hand he was lucky not to have been caught in a trap but the girls on the other hand were not. He realized if the Yokai got the before he did he was fucked just then Akuma wet flying over shooting the shield with massive burst of chi. Haizaku realized he was trying to break the shield and without thinking Haizaku acted as if the shield was going to break regardless. He used Bomb rush an extreme amount of force like a rocket that launches him forward leaving a trail of fire behind him and was right in front of the head of the beast just enough room to swing his sword with all his might using ash boost to increase his strength he whipped the blade at its head making it look as if his arm just teleported into the swinging position the sword swing at such a speed it hummed through the air the blade extending out ward if it hit it would go through the jaw along the neck and right past the arm in the gut ripping it open.-
BarastarVentrue: /The small wolf pack running full sprint towards the large serpant like creature with a serious blood thurst. Ven would talk in Grom and Reiner's minds as grom went right and Reiner went left. Spacing far out as to attack them in a pincer like fashion. Ven still heading straist for the Naga getting faster and faster as he began to resemble a wolf in aura. Grom came around from the right and attempted to bite a hold of the serpants tail while Reiner leaped into the air from the right an attempted a bite the its neck. Noting the man that was slashing into it Ven would smirk an then leap. Placing his palms onto the man back an attempting to shoot the man forward more. Making the mans attack to twice as much damage onto the serpant. After doin so Ven would flip backwards an take a deffensive stance in a crouch like position on all fours as if some wild beast. Trully meeting his father an vbrothers had changed him in many ways. Even the way he fought seemed different but also completely natural as if he had fought his whole life time in such a manner. Poise to strike Ven would wait an see like a true master would/
Diversity: Rashida would spread her wings and with a flush of feathers, dodge back into the tree line. She would charge up her abuuris and wait, as her eagle-eye precision allowed her to note certain traits about it. As Akuma grabbed onto the tail, he would be surely thrashed about like someone shaking a can of parmesan cheese. But alas it did get him tossed up front where all the action was. But the action was rapidly changing. As soon as bullets hit the shield, the creature turned its head- diverting its attack from Sekushi as it continued to move forward. It was breaking his precious enchanted shield, that would be no good. So it dove into the sand, going underground fast. This dissuaded any from getting in front of it as it’d turned when realizing the shield was under attack. But because of his head being under as his body was going below the sand, the attack that was meant to rip him open hit at the thickest part of the serpentine stomach and tore an extra stretch of distance- a fifteen foot gash that caused entrails to flop out onto the dirt as the body slinked into the ground. The hiss of agony echoed up from under the earth as the beast had taken with him several things. One, the wolf biting his tail would’ve been dragged under if he’d not let go. The wolf aiming for his neck would’ve struck at his side or lower back where the serpentine tail formed, but would’ve been quickly knocked away or dragged underground as well if not for having moved. The Yokai Lord finally resurfaced, already appearing pale as it crawled onto land at horrifying speeds, hissing once more its ear-rupturing screech that had very recently busted Haizaku’s eardrums ( Read prior post, the screech was capable of popping eardrums, aimed at Haizaku, not avoided. Ruptured eardrums creates massive amounts of pain, temporary deafness, and also a lack of balance or a sense of standing on a waterbed ). Its stomach entrails dragged the earth as it closed its mouth then opened it. It spit three bursts of its paralyzing venom outwards, once at Haizaku, once at Ven, and once at Akuma. In his continued rushing forward, the Yokai Lord would create a wide and accurate horizontal slice from right to left (which was aimed to cut into the group’s midsections). The slicing blow was about twenty feet in range from the beast’s right to its left, and the serrated eight foot sword would be capable of catching on clothes, other weapons, and even flesh and tearing or dragging it along because of its jagged nature. The Yokai Lord didn’t have much longer to live, but he was going to create havoc on his way down.
KimiKatsu: Kimi was ready to make herself a distraction, but the male that helped them earlier had already done so. Joining him were two very large wolves and one other male. “Now that help’s arrived. . .” Kimi began to walk towards the group and the serpent they were fighting, but Sekushi called out to her, making her halt in her tracks. “Please, don’t leave me here. I’m defenseless right now.” With a sigh, Kimi turned back around and returned to her spot and protective stance in front of Sekushi. “You were defenseless before this, anyways.” She’d say, a smirk playing across her full lips. There was a little annoyed huff behind her, making Kimi giggle a little. It was true, she was pretty defenseless. Back in KasaiHana, she didn’t have to do much fighting and killing, though it was in her contract. She usually just danced, fucked, and wandered around with her dog, Tsuyo. ‘Tsuyo. . .’ Another flash of his sweet face and caramel colored eyes staring up at her, begging for just one more treat interrupted her thoughts. Sekushi closed her eyes and forced back the image. She had to stay clear minded, for Tsuyo. ‘You’ll get as many treats as you want when I get home.’ She thought to herself while sprawling out on the ground to make herself comfortable since her right arm was stuck in a sand trap. Kimi glanced over her shoulder for a brief second and raised a brow. “What are you doing?” She’d ask. “I may as well get comfy for now. . .” Kimi shook her head and returned her attention to the fight. She hated feeling useless (much like Sekushi) and decided to do what she was best at: ranged fighting. They were a fair enough distance away from the giant serpent, so she cleared her mind and summoned up three medium sized, crackling balls of dancing blue fire – one at each of her sides and the other just above her head. “What to do, what to do. . .” She’d murmur. A smile replaces the quizzical look on her face before the ball of flame to her left was sent out. It was quick to get to the serpent, but with all of the movement going on, she wouldn’t be able to blind it the way she wanted to if it survived the barrage of attacks that were already being aimed at it. Suddenly, the beast dove deep down underground. Kimi frowned and retracted her ball of flame. She could smell the creature’s blood and she could even see its intestines falling out of it and onto the ground as it burrowed deep into the sand. When it was fully gone, both Kitsune women froze. They could feel the ground trembling below them from the creature’s movements before it burst out of the sand again and began to attack the others wildly. It looked pale and was obviously losing a lot of blood. ‘It doesn’t have much time left. . .and it knows it.’ They’d think simultaneously while watching.
Guest_ATrueKiller: -Haizaku was fully aware he had taken the ear crushing roar from the Yokai head on and his already were bleeding but he knew it would heal so he really did not have a problem with it if he wanted he could speed it up but just as though thoughts went through his mind. The Yokai lord went underground its showing entrails showing it was not in any position to actually live long. He was also surprised to see the two wolves attack it as well. Haizaku was getting ready to heal when he saw it erupt from the earth once more and spit a large amount of venom at him he was surprise and had known way to dodge his footing was all sloppy. He used Narrow escape before doing so though he pointed his blade down along with his left palm down(He will get paralyzed for 12 seconds this allows him to still attack in his state.) ward and teleported above its head and in an attempt to kill it before it could actually damage any one he shot out a nuclear wave(A series of explosions 60 times the power of a nuke that are emitted from his outstretched hand that is like a wall that goes 100 feet out and 50 wide of explosions being pushed forth. Now this will actually cost him dearly crushing bones.) if it hit the force would send the blade into the ground early sending up large amounts of sand due to the impact on the Yokai’s head. If this did not kill it Haizaku’s divine wrath extended right toward the skull of the beast at astonishing speeds wind whipping off of it as it would go about 3 times the speed of sound toward its head and if it hooked in his time would be up and he would yank the serrated blade up and pull the Yokai back causing the blade to swing upward. Haizaku did not fail to notice a large hammer slip from the entrails of the Yokai as he was in the air. This also gave him time to actually heal up smoke rising from his ears as his inner ear healed.-
BarastarVentrue: /The wolves noticing that they were about to be drug underground they would release their jaws and attempt to jump off the serpent to safety, poised to attack or dodge at a moments notice. The serpent coming back up and shooting a poison looking spit at Ven he would leap and spiral off the ground, the spit missing him a few inches as Ven landed back into the same positon he was in before. Ready to attack or dodge if necessary. The wolves darting out wide and then turning to make a attack from behind the serpent in unison at a quick speed. The serpent then swing his massive sword at the party in a wide ark would cause Ven to jump again dodging the blade easily. Seeing the man leap into the air and begin to draw chi into his palm Ven would whistle loudly, telling the wolves to back a bit away and be on stand by near Ven Blood lust in all three of the packs eyes./
Diversity: The Yokai Lord, bleeding out and torn almost in half at the stomach gash he'd made worse with traveling, would find one man nearer his head. He swung back, growing farther from the rest as he decided to pick this one off at least before his death came. Then, just as it got far enough away from the others to be safe from their attacks, an overwhelming heat came. The beast was ripped apart. Its flesh was melted from its skin, its body bowed and broken and cremated. All that was left soon was a series of thin charred ribs creating a skeletal expanse, and an odd blood-soaked hammer in the distance.
BarastarVentrue: /Frowning a bit Ven would call over the wolves and give them a scratch. Looking up at the party Ven would call over/ (Again depending on what time of day it would be.) Maybe we should camp out in the forest for the night and leave tomorrow morning. Its not safe to sleep out in the open in the desert at night. Espeacially in the open. /Glancing over at the large serpents sheild Ven would walk over and pick it up. Carrying it back to the forest. Grom and Reiner following him in suit. Rigging up the shield in a way to form a small type of shelter Ven would ask the wolves to go get some food enough for 6 people and bring it back./ Of course get something for yourselves as well you two. /smirking at each other Ven would then start to gather some fire wood. Placing a few stones here and there in a circle to contain the fire. Then, using his chi he would create a spark and then start blowing on the embers. Creating a fire. With some other wood he would line them up against some trees to use as a wind shield on the off chance that the night could get a bit to chilled for everyone else. It was so odd to him that he was doing all this with such ease. As if being in this place gave him new knowledge of how to survive in the wild. The wolves coming back some time later with a large deer and a very large boar Ven would go to cutting them up and creating his on meat spit with one of the swords that the serpants had dropped. cooking the meat and nodding for everyone to have their share. Letting the wolves have the livers and the haunches of both animals. After Ven ate he would put a few more logs on the fire and curl up on the ground. Grom and Reiner joining next to him as they warmed each other. The make shift tent up for grabs for the women or whoever wanted it. Fading off to sleep as he relaxed completely./ (E)
Guest_ATrueKiller: -Haizaku landed in the ribcage smoke rising out from it as he emerge barely walking his arm was just broken to shit right now the pain was horrible an the pain from the teleport did not help. He limped over to the two in the sand trap once he determined that they didn’t need his help he walked out of the area of the destruction and through gritted teeth yelled.-“Every one fine? My bad that shit was reckless sorry.”-He stood the awaiting a response as he sat in the sand holding his arm sighing.-~Man I need like a person who just tells me not to do shit before I do it.~-He thought he wanted to laugh but he could not because of the pain if he did he would not like it very much. He knew he could not stay out in the open either because one it was apparently full of dangers and two it would get cold at night. He thought he had a bit more time before he actually had to get moving for now he just need a rest to catch his breath then he would be on his way.-
AlessandraSkar: Shira had been watching the gruesome battle from over the sand dune. Oddly enough, little Daisuke had fallen right to sleep on her back, completely oblivious to what had been happening a distance away. Even though the people fighting the snake-like creatures were completely unfamiliar to her, it was still a wonder that all her body wanted to do was leap down there and lend a hand. At the same time, she wanted so badly was to test out her newfound strengths and abilities given to her by the Shinto gods, but Daisuke's safety was her top priority. 'Only fight when you have to, Shira.' She told herself in her mind as the fighters went head-to-head with the apparent leader of the serpent squadron. As the final blow was delivered to the enormous hebi demon, a spark of sunlight glinted across the surface of something that seemed to pop right out of the hebi's body. Shira squinted her cat-like blue eyes at the object as it cartwheeled through the air, droplets of blood and gore raining from it on the sand below. 'Is that...a hammer?' The hebi fell to the ground dead and the gargantuan object soon struck the ground a distance away, landing with its head planted deeply into the ground from the impact and the handle jutting upward toward the sky. It looked like the others were beginning to settle down now that the fight was over, leaving her to wonder exactly what the object was. Moving carefully, she walked a bit closer to the edge of the dune and found herself unable to take her eyes away from the strange object sticking up out of the ground. An odd feeling began to creep over her the longer she stared at it, a strange sensation tugging on her like magnetic force, seeming to draw her to wanting to get closer to the object. But for the simple fact that she didn't want to risk getting too close to the others in case they were a threat, she forced herself to stay put. However, the strange pull on her body was growing stronger by the second, and she was unaware that her vision had tunneled so that all she could see was the odd hammer. Her expression was full of curiosity, but they soon widened when her sensitive cat-like ears began to pick up a low humming, vibrating sound and the hammer became outlined in flames colored purple. At that moment, the hammer broke suddenly broke forward with enough velocity to create a shockwave around it. Only half of the large hammerhead was visible as it tore through the sandy terrain at nearly impossible speeds headed straight for her. If it wasn't for Shira's enhanced eyesight, she would not have been able to see the movement of the hammer, but even though she was able to detect it's lightspeed travel, she was still frozen by shock. WHAM! The hammerhead slammed dead into her midsection and she instantly curved forward around it, soon feeling her feet leave the ground as the hammer lifted some feet above the ground and began to fly through the air. Shira's eyes widened and she could barely breathe, but she reached a hand forward and dug her claws into the hammerhead, getting a good enough grip to pull herself forward to grab the handle. The harsh inertia pushed against her back, forcing her to flip forward but was luckily able to grab the handle with both hands and hang on for dear life. Now facing the direction that the hammer was going, she watched with widened eyes as the hammer zipped over more sand dunes and raced in between palm trees, flying as fast as a jet. She glanced back to check on Daisuke and to her surprise.....the little tike was still asleep! Shira was straddling the handle as hard as she could now as the hammer suddenly skyrocketed straight upward like a launched missile, spinning around and around until she felt like she would vomit. She made the horrible mistake of looking down and all she saw was how fast the ground was sinking farther and farther below her. Clinging to the handle of the hammer, Shira shut her eyes tight as it flew up about a thousand feet from the ground and suddenly arched right into a nose dive. Anyone standing within several miles could probably hear her terrified shriek echoing through the air as she was headed for the ground faster than a sack of bricks. Plummeting so fast that she could hear the wind whistling past her ears and jostling her hair above her head like tongues of fire. “You can slow down now!” She shouted, peeking one eye open to see how close to the ground she was before shutting it back in regret. “I said...SLOW DOWN!” Only a foot or so away from hitting the hard-packed earth, the hammer suddenly turned over horizontally, flying through a tangle of large trees and brushes at the speed of light. Shira opened her eyes again and saw that they had entered some kind of forest, and a second after she realized this...SKRRRRRRT!! The hammer broke to a halt before she knew what happened, the force of the sudden stop throwing her forward with a shriek. Fortunately enough, cats always land on their feet. Her legs lifted up above her head from behind as her body turned over sideways, completing a twisted cartwheel before landing on all fours just like a cat. She was now facing the hammer which seemed to hover several feet above the ground in front of her, tilting her head at it as her ears twitched back and forth at the top of her head. The purple flames still surrounded it, but to her surprise, she felt no heat at all. She kept her eyes on the hammer as she slowly lifted herself onto the balls of her feet, willing herself to creep forward slowly toward the hammer. With one hand reaching out hesitantly, she swallowed a nervous lump down her throat as she got close enough to the hammer to touch it. She had no idea where it came from or who it belonged to, but the least she could do was test it. “I wonder if one of the Shinto gods dropped it.” She said out loud. “If they had, I would have slayed the brute for committing such an act of betrayal!” Shira had no idea just how strong her legs were until she just barely jumped back and somehow ended up almost a full ten feet away from the hammer. Her eyes wide with fright. “YOU TALKED!” She shouted. “You just fucking talked!” “Well, of course I did.” The Hammer's voice was harsh and booming deep like that of a century-old god. “What? Did you think that I was a normal weapon of sorts?” Shira blinked several times. “Uh, I mean, no. You're a giant hammer. The biggest goddamn hammer I've ever seen but....I didn't expect--” “You are in the Shinto Realm, outsider. Expect the unexpected.” The Hammer cut her off. Shira stared silently at the hammer for a moment, then straightened into a normal posture. “I am, aren't I?” She said softly, looking up into the sky. “Can you tell me why I'm here?” She asked, returning her attention to the hammer. “You are here because there is much work to be done. The peaceful balance between your world and mine is at stake and a worthy few of you have been chosen to restore that balance. Will you prove that you can handle such a task, Shira Hanako?” Shira's eyes widened as an alarm went off in her head. “You know my name, too!?” “Your reputation exceeds you in the Land of the Living. You should feel honored. But enough of all that talk. There isn't much time for casual conversation. You have plenty of preparation to do before we can move on and the clock is tick-tick-ticking. You may call me Unmei, your guide through the Shinto Realm.” Shira arched a brow. “And what makes you think I need a guide? I'm pretty sure I can figure this place out on my o--” She was cut off when Unmei suddenly bopped the top of her head. “Ow! That hurt!” She whined, rubbing her sore cranium cap. “That's to teach you not to be FOOLISH.” Unmei barked sternly, almost sounding like a scolding father. “When I was first Created, I was fairly certain that I could just wander this realm all on my own with no knowledge or experience just like you. However, those thoughts quickly changed when I lost a battle to a hungry Hebi Demon and was devoured head to handle.” Unmei told her. “Which, by the way, will be the very least of your worries once you begin your journey. There are creatures lurking about that are FAR more powerful and FAR more dangerous than half-serpent monstrosities. And you will NOT be facing them alone. Do you understand?” Shira nodded quickly, swallowing. “You may be a Bakeneko, but even your strengths have their limitations.” Unmei continued. Shira tilted her head with a frown. “I'm a what?” “As long as the two of us are together, our strengths and capabilities will be near limitless.” “But wait,” Shira shook her head in confusion. “Why me? Wouldn't you rather be in the hands of some almighty knight in shining armor or something? I'm just some cat lady with a newborn son who can eat like a grown man and sleep through a nuclear war. What makes you think I'm...worthy? Ouch!” Unmei bopped her upside the head again. “Those questions can only be answered once your destiny here is fulfilled. As of now, there isn't much time to waste. Come now, you and your son climb aboard. I know of a nearby village that will supply you with food and shelter for the night.”
At this point in time, with the Yokai Lord defeated, the estranged and mixed bag of travelers find their way to resting points, some choosing to go with others and some choosing to go it alone.
