Akatsuki of YCM's Hidden Base

[Dranzer]

OoC: f*** you Ninjew what did I say about leaving >.<

 

IC: Even after Cortez started shooting the room with sand and and Kisune charged his fire Zeru didn't move a bit.He was just standing there with an ignorance look on his face.He only did a few handsigns to prevent the sand from hitting him.The sphere that he had created earlyer was stil there.He took it towards himself making it glow black and charging it's power.

[Daybreak]

The Bando that Kisune stabbed fell into a pile of water around Kisune's feet. Thank god that Bando had the raigan to predict his next movement and counter it or he'd be dead. The real Bando was near Dranzer he covered his eyes and put the chakra over his eyelashes to protect them Tsuki did the same. "Zeru, if you can create a way to keep him from dodging i can finish him off. If we don't kill him in 10 minutes I'll have to take all of you out of here. Tsuki try and occupy him while Zeru and I figure out what to do." Tsuki faced Kisune and performed the multi shadow clone justu. 100 or so shadow clones appeared standing between Bando and Zeru and Kisune. The dimension was almost over. Then 5 or so Tsukis attached to Kisune making him unable to move. So he performed the seal of the panda and stored up chakra. "Time to show that I can have a trick up my sleeve now and then. Moon Style: Moonlight Darkness." A giant moonlit sky with moving clouds appeared in the center of the room high in the air. All the lights that were on went out and moonlight covered the room. "This type of jutsu is a kekkai genkai that only i posess. My name means moon. My parents named me that because i was a rarely excellent moon style user. This jutsu drains the chakra of whatever is in the path of the darkness of the moon. Meaning when you are in the dark your drained." Tsuki then moved a cloud using his hands covering about a 6th of the moon. The dark from the cloud fell on the trapped kisune. The shadow clones held him tight so he couldn't move. Tsuki was nervous I hope i can keep this guy held long enough he said to himself. Kisune chakra began to go from him to the moon.

[Dranzer]

"Fine with me." Zeru created a few clones to suround Kisune,even though he had his chakra drained."Summoning jutsu.3 great Columns." with that 3 coulmns apeared with an elephant on top of them. The elephants were made by stone,but could move.They shot out a green rey of light from there horns creating a sphere around Kisune.The sphere was ment to have the space inside slow down by 5 times.That way Kisune would have less time to react and it everything would be delated to him."There you have your chance.Now act."

[Daybreak]

Bando watched as Zeru pulled out an elephant column and trapped Kisune in a green orb."Gotcha Zeru, Inu tori saru Isuchi tori Water Style Water Shockwave Demise!." He slammed his hand into the ground and the water start to fill up the sphere that Kisune was contained in while at the same time it bashed him back and forth hitting the sphere. The water had gone from his hand underground to the ground underneath the sphere. Once it was filled up it would suffocate him. They had not one left out possibiltiy of him escaping or breaking out. With Tsuki's moon and clones Bandos water Zeru's containment and clones there was at most 10 % of him escaping.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

Sven’s laughter instantly stopped as Ze’b had stopped his ceros and his Hado. As the rest of the attack came, Sven fired off a bala to counter it. “You want to see me fight, then prepare yourself,” Sven said as he heard Ze’b speak. He noticed Ze’b change colors and his blade change colors, but to him it was nothing. Then he saw the sphere around him and just before the attack exploded he unleashed a large yellow wave of Reiatsu, countering the explosion and keeping it off him. It was actually a Raikōhō that he used to protect himself and he even used it without an incantation. Then he was gone in a sonido that was faster then he was normally using. It was in fact so quick that it didn’t make a sound for a second after he used it. Liz’s attack would end up blasting high into the air as the speed of Sven was much greater then that of the attack even if the attack was so large.

 

Sven appeared directly above Ze’b, slashing his other zanpakuto down towards him. At the same time he blasted out his invisible cero from his open hand into the side of Ze’b. Sven figured that Ze’b would probably dodge the attack but in case he didn’t the cero would surely strike since it was invisible to all senses. Sven also blasted off a bala from the tip of the zanpakuto by channeling his Reiatsu through it. The multitude of attacks would clearly land a hit as they each were effective in their own form. From his tail released a blue cero towards Liz, who would probably be caught off guard since being knocked backwards by her own attack.

 

 

As the fire arc came towards him, Kisune absorbed it into his fire ball increasing its strength. The sand particles simply bounced off his scales and his eye lids as he closed his eyes to protect them. Then he opened them and watched Cortez with his Sharingan and took note of his running pattern and decided that he was fine. The wind blasts would also simply bounce off the scales. He then noticed the clones and blasted them with a white flame from his mouth, destroying most of them. The 5 clones that attempted to hold him down simply could not due to his massive size and strength. As the moon shown and the darkness began to creep over him, he simply flew into the air and into the moonlight. The clones that were on him would be thrown off as he spun and flipped around. As he was trapped inside the sphere, he did not phase. He replaced the fire ball into his mouth and stored it there for use later.

 

As the sphere began filling up, a small ball of space surrounded Kisune and kept the water off of him. In fact it was his mangekyou preventing that space directly around him from filling up. After the sphere completely filled up, a small cylinder directed to one of the columns could be seen through the water. Kisune blasted the fire ball through the sphere into the column, destroying the sphere and the jutsu. Before the other jutsu’s effect of sucking Kisune’s chakra could actually begin to be used, since he was in the moonlight at the time of capture it would have to be reverted to be used. Now free Kisune flew towards Bando, while his mangekyou flared again. Bando suddenly couldn’t move as the space around him held him in place. Another move that Kisune’s mangekyou was capable of doing besides protecting him was trapping others. In seconds Kisune had landed on Bando, driving his claws into Bando’s body. Soon Bando would be dead and the others would be targeted.

[Mr.WHAM]

Sven's attack was not surprising once Ze'borova had heard his retort. In fact, the attack had made him quite happy. However, Ze'borova concluded it would be wisest to end this fight soon as he didn't want things conflicting on him. So he was incredibly happy when Sven countered and slashed at him from behind. Ze'borova and Sven's blades met and the bala that Sven was charging at the tip of his blade was met by a coating of black lightning that Ze'b would fire from his Zanpaktou as soon as Sven did his. At least at this range, he would. After their blades touched, Ze'borova caught Sven's sword and flipped him over himself, using the gaps in between his weapon, throwing him over to where the invisible Cero was coming from. After, he did this he purposefully slashed at Sven's Zanpaktou, about 20 more times to be exact. Each time there blades contacted the black glow that was surround his blade and some of the glow that was covering his hands, was transferred to wherever he struck. Such was the case with all future strikes so long as they were physical. Ze'borova ignored Liz and continued forward aiming to punch Sven several hundred times. His fighting style combined the use of his Zanpaktou to its potential and his hand-to-hand combat skill. The glows that were transferred to Sven were all black, like the color of his lightning. They were all over Sven's blade. "Those black lights won't harm you but heh I suggest that you be prepared for an onslaught. Now all I neeed is a few on your body..."

[Shadow Zero]

ooc: Well, it is time. TIME TO BLOW s*** UP! lol A word of warning, I am using Chaos Control so that we can all escape whilst the Dragon Lords are entombed in the collapsing base, so expect that.

 

Shadow didn't make a move to block the attack on Ze'Borova, trusting him to be able to get out of it on his own. He instead placed his hands on the ground and detonated the phazon within it by adding the explosive attribute of Orange Phazon to it. This underground explosion not only caused the floor to explode upwards all around him, but also made its way to the walls that were already having the explosive attribute of Orange Phazon added to them. As they approached, Shadow issued a single command to the Black Phazon. NOW!!! The Black Phazon all exploded at once, causing shrapnel to fire from the walls. At the same time, Shadow unleashed a wave of Chaos energy that would seek out and latch itself onto all of his allies, everyone who was present except for the Dragon Lords. The very moment the Chaos energy had latched itself onto the last one, Shadow used Chaos Control to separate himself and everyone else outside of the normal spacetime spectrum one instant, teleport them outside of the base the next. The moment they all appeared outside the base with at least a half mile between them and it, all of them in a tight group scattered within a six meter radius. He then summoned an omnidirectional shield to protect them all from the final blast as the base blew itself up, aided along by the Phazon. once the blasts had subsided, he lost first his hyper form. Then his Heart of flame went dormant, followed by the loss of his super form. He stood there for a moment, his hands raised into the air to hold the shield in place. Then the shield disappeared, and he fell forward onto the ground. He was conscious still, and able to speak a little. However, he was unable to move.

 

Zera and Roshi were about to move farther in when they were enveloped in a wave of Chaos energy. Zera turned to Roshi, about to ask if he knew what it was that had just happened when suddenly they were teleported to an area away from the base, along with everyone other then the Dragon Lords. "What the hell?" Zera had no idea what had just happened, but he knew that somehow they had suddenly and forcibly been moved to another location. In the moment Shadow fell to the ground, Roshi said "Look!" pointing Shadow out as he fell to the ground. Not knowing what had happened, but seeing someone who needed help, he decided to dismiss the issue for the moment and help Shadow, even though he did not know him. As he decided this, he moved forward, headed straight for Shadow.

[Lord JZ of the Enigma]

"Been one heck of a travel......first we get chased....then we don't get chased...and then I get stuck in that Garganta thing.....and now I even lost the troupe kid....dang, what a sucky day....or days....I personally have no clue how long I've been gone.....or where I am......crap.....for all I know I might be on the other side of the frickin planet!....not only that, those fricken fake Dragon Lords may have caused some chaos by now and I couldn't do anything.........." he sighed in a depressive tone, Soon enough he took a good smell in the air.

 

"odd I don't sense a complete Darkness over the world....seems that everything is still fine...." he pulls out one of his swords and starts to feel the aura, everything seemed fine for now, as if the world was in...some peace, it was quite alleviating, of course the feeling wasn't completely gone. "Should search out that area.....I have a good feel for it, so that will be the first place I look."

[Mr.WHAM]

As Ze'borova was about to punch Sven, he was taken out of the room and transported outside. He remembered what Shadow had done and was frankly very pissed at him. He saw the boy faint and didn't give a damn as he stabbed him through his torso. The Zanpaktou hadn't hit anything vital but it would serve to do nothing more than satisfy Ze'borova. His reiatsu prescience had changed now,and if he had not have concealed it since he came outside, it might have been choking everyone to death along with crushing them and instilling in some sense of ill will. He rose the stabbed Shadow up with him impaled on his Zanpaktou. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT? HMM???? IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU? WE COULD'VE OVERWHELMED HIM AND KILLED HIM ON THE SPOT!!!! GODDAMNIT!" Ze'borova flung the body off of his sword, leaving him to fly in the air until he hit a tree or some sort of large boulder. He was glaring at the others as they saw what he'd done. It would no doubt cause some strife as they had already had someone they all care about killed. Then he looked as Zera approached the rest of them. "What the **** do you want you little S***?" Ze'borova had an increasingly menacing look on his face as he no longer began to fight the urges that his Broken Feral Heart had given to him. He did feel his inner beast taking over and his Vizard mask wouldn't come off. However, Ze'borova's mood wouldn't change and he wouldn't care. In fact all that was going on in his mind was death...lots and lots of death.

[Shadow Zero]

Shadows eyes went wide as he was stabbed, and as he was flung wide, a trail of blood streamed into the air. Roshi suddenly shot off, managing to make it so that he would be under Shadow as he hit the ground. Zera was shocked, and so ended up not moving right away. However, as he saw Roshi dash off to help cushion Shadows fall, he snapped out of it and went dashing after him as well, taking out some sort of leaf that disappeared, and next moment he had the tail and extra ears of a raccoon. Reaching Roshi and Shadow at the same time as Shadow landed on Roshi, he saw that Shadow was near death and immediately started rummaging around in one of his pockets. I guess I have no choice but to use THAT. I had hoped it wouldn't be necessary though. In the moment that Zera found what he was looking for, Shadow used the last of his strength to grab his collar and gasped out something about the rucksack that he had on his back. Understanding his intention, Zera ruffled through it and was once again, momentarily stunned, although this time it was due to seeing all of the Mushroom Kingdom items that were in the backpack. Snapping himself out of it and digging around in the rucksack, Zera quickly found what he was looking for, a 1-up mushroom that would completely restore a persons health. He took it and unceremoniously shoved it into Shadows mouth, forcing him to swallow. Seconds afterwards, Shadow, who's eyes had closed as he began to be led away by death itself, opened them once again and jumped off of Roshi. "Thank you for the help stranger. We'll talk more later. right now, I have something else to take care of." Shadow then turned his attention to Ze'Borova and said "So, your Dark Side has started taking over. Then I shall fight darkness with darkness. "ABOUT TIME I GOT A CHANCE TO FIGHT!" Shadows darker half practically yelled mentally and Shadow mentally replied saying "Do not kill him. Anything else is fair game." with that, Shadow went completely black within seconds, and then one or two seconds after that gained bright white lines that traces the edges of where the red striped on his body used to be. He had become Dark Shadow, a being born to fight and kill, and now his darker half was in control.

[Mr.WHAM]

A glaring expression went over Ze'borova's face curious about Shadow andhis transformation. "Darkness? What is this damned darkness you speak of? I'm not some psychopath who can't control his powers and has a split persona who wants to go on a raging spree of anhilation. No, I'm but Ze'borova Preyn and I do as I wish. And as of then I wished to warn you never to interrupt me during a fight again. But," he looked around at the others, "with these deaths surrounding us, I don't see why yours will do anymore harm." His Zanpaktou drawn Ze'borova contemplated using the move he would have used on the Espada. He resolved not to after some quick thought. Instead he flew above Shadow's head and release a massive column of electricity, spanning about 50 meters in its radius. The attack did not actually touch Shadow just halted his movements. He then reabsorbed this energy and came crashing down to the ground with a massive punch, his charged electricity soon too erupt from the ground below Shadow's feet as it crumbled. Ze'borova then covered himself with a veil of electricty, so as to prevent the teleportation thing that Shadow had just done and stop the sneak attacks. But then again, it wouldn't stop his. In his mind, his Heart's influence was pushing him to kill Shadow immediately, but he was resisting the urge. He knew that atacking a comrade as a punishment was wrong. But someone had to have it done. Then Ze'borova sheathed his blade further holding himself back. This would be a hand-to-hand fight; as such it would clear show over Ze'borova's strength and physical skill. He then formed some screens made of lightning and waited them to seal Shadow in them as he fired a Cero from above his head. Above a blast, below a lightning induced eruption and your backed into a corner..."Yes, sometimes this is pleasurable."

[Shadow Zero]

Dark Shadow was not paralyzed, although he wanted Ze'Borova to think that he was. As he stood there, he abosrbed the lightning attack, focusing it into a single point inside of himself. When Ze'Borova appeared above him and fired the Cero, Dark Shadow raise his hands with the palms facing to the sky, unleashing the ligthing that he had bsorbed through them as Black Lightning, using the lightning explosion beneath him to up the attacks speed and power. Ze'Borova would not see what he had done since his view would be blocked by his own Cero, and would notice no discernible change in the Cero until it was to late as the lightning blast was burrowing through the cero, not blasting through it in a way that would case it to flare out flat to the sides. The blast of lighting worked its way up inside Ze'Borovas Cero, pushing its way through and causing the Cero to stream past it as it reached Ze'Borova. Dark Shadow grinned, certain that he would reach Ze'Borova and deal a critical blow, especially seeing as Black Lighting was considerably more powerful then regular lightning.

[Mr.WHAM]

Ze'borova looked at Shadow with inherent insolence. He was standing right beside him. "Do you honestly believe that I would stay there?" The Cero hit the lightning and did nothing but dissolve in an explosion. "Do you really believe that I could not see what you just did? Shooting lightning back at a lightning user?" Ze'borova shocked himself with a bolt of lightning summoned seemingly from the sky. It didn't faze him but rather sent him a burst of energy. "Lightnign really doesn't hurt me, be it natural or from others. And lightning that I've released, ha! It'll do you good." Ze'borova made a fist of lightning as he sent a massive series of punches to various places over Shadow's body. The final blow was an uppercut, that would hit as the blast of electricity that Ze'borova had sent out early erupted from the ground. "Let me teach you about lightning," Ze'borova said as a screeching black orb of lightning formed in his hand. "If black is a ll you can make, then you've only reached the basic level past lightning." He put the orb right between Shadow's eyes as he released the energy point blank. He wanted to anger Shadow as much as possible and then he wanted to take away something precious from him. He would have to wait for that. As Ze'borova thought his conscience came into play and made him wonder if he should be doing all this...

[El Make]

It's lighter.... I hear fighting.... but... it's not with Kisune... I guess.... I have to open my eyes.... are we outside? Probably... Yurusu slowly opened his eyes, the light from the sun blinding him for a few seconds. After a while he focused in on the image infront of him: Chaos and Ze'b fighting like beasts.

We're teammates thoguh... what's... going on? Where's Tenkai's body? Where are we.... Yurusu sat with his legs folded against him, dusty wind blowing through his hair. Slowly turning his head to the side, he saw Tenkai's body, lying on the ground, one arm missing and a gaping wound in his chest. Dried blood stained his entire chest area.

 

So it was real... Tenkai... Slowly getting up, the shinigami trudged over to the dead corpse, staring at it for what seemed like hours. At last, he picked up Tenkai with both arms, whatever live blood left spurting onto his robes. Suddenly, they disappeared, as if never even standing there at all. Miles and miles away, Yurusu layed Tenkai's body down on the side of a riverbank, and just stood there... staring.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

As the room collapsed, Kisune's dragon form was crushed and forced him to change back to normal. His mangekyou though created enough space to keep him alive under the rubble. Once everything settled down he used the head hunter's jutsu to get to the surface. His sharingan faded from his eyes once he was sure no enemies were around. "Guess there are some strong people out there," he said to himself. He sat on a boulder and held his arm which was bleeding.

 

As Sven was being thrown, he used his wings to stop the movement and stayed above him. The cero would end up striking Ze'b in the side and cause a large amount od damage. As Ze'b clashed his sword against his, Sven easily parried off each of the strikes easily. As Ze'b went to punch Sven, Sven held up his hand to grab onto the hand before it would strike him. Then he noticed Ze'b disappear and wondered what was going on. Then he noticed the base exploding and knew that he would be hit by something. He covered his wings in front of himself and stayed a float in midair. Once the base settled down, he merged with the ground and rose to the surface. Upon surfacing, he sheathed his Shinigami zanpakuto and reverted back to his normal form. His Hollow zanpakuto appeared at his other side. Sven dropped to a knee as he noticed something different with his body. "Damn, what the hell is this. I might not be able to stay in this form any longer if this is going to get worse," he said to himself.

 

Kisune then noticed Sven rise out of the ground as well and walked over to him. "Hey maybe we should take some time to recover and get stronger to kill them. Let them think they ahve won while their forces are now lower and weaker. "Yeah whatever," Sven replied and he got up. He opened a Garganta and they both disappeared into the darkness.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Pain and agony. One could not know the meaning of those words unless they experienced true Hell. Fusion thought back on all the painful experiences of his life and none of them amounted to what he was going through. He'd been falling for what seemed like decades, maybe even centuries, through a whirling inferno of screaming, fire, dead people, moans, monsters, pain, blood, and other agonizing elements. The one thought that ran through his mind was wondering why he had to suffer and recalled Azera saying he would suffer in Hell when he died. Fusion thought he had lived a just life and only got into a little bit of trouble in recent times. Yet here he was, suffering in what seemed to be Hell. He was trying to grasp the concept of enduring this for all eternity when suddenly it all stopped.

 

The pain, the noise, the chaos, all of it ceased. Fusion was in a void of blackness and had no conscious thought or distraction to affect him, he just merely existed. Then the black started to lighten and it began to grow warmer. His senses returned to him and then he became aware he was lying face-down on scorching earth. He slowly stood up and gathered his wits to observe the amazing sight in front of him.

 

He was on the bedside of a river of lava which seemed to extend for miles. The atmosphere was also excruciatingly hot and the sky was hazed with darkness and clouds that obscured any possible light source. Fusion began to walk aimlessly until he saw a giant, metal gate in the distance. "Welcome to Hell..." Fusion muttered as he advanced towards it.

 

Go was sitting on a rock gazing out at the ocean. He was extremely depressed that he was lost with a weird man in the middle of nowhere, but also at the news that his best friend, Fusion, had died fighting the Dragon Lords. He had been of no use, he didn't even make it to the fight and couldn't protect his friends. He felt powerless. It was then the man emerged behind him.

 

"I know it is not easy to lose loved ones, I too know the pain of losing what I cherished. However, the world will not stop to mourn for Fusion's death and will soon be in peril from the Dragon Lords. You must become stronger in order to even stand a remote chance against them, Go Ryoko. Will you let me help you?"

 

Go turned and merely replied, "Do whatever you see fit. I just want to get stronger, no matter what I have to do."

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

As Fusion walked up to the large gate of Hell, two extremely large demons stood at the sides at attention. The moment Fusion got within a few meters of the gate, both guards called out, "Stop and stay where you are." They both could be seen pointing an index finger at him while their other hand was on the hilt of a sword at their side. If one were to view these demons they would look like very old men wearing medieval knight armor with a black cape. The helm had bull like horns tilted downwards with no face mask. The demon's piercing red eyes were so menacing lowly demons would beg for mercy upon laying their eyes upon them. However in Fusion's case he was no mere demon and so the effect shouldn't cause him too much pain.

 

Suddenly the gate cracked open and Azera walked out with his arms behind him. Two zombie-like demons were following him, mouth agape. "Welcome Fusion. I told you, you would be here soon," he said cockily. He looked over Fusion and then snapped his fingers. The two demons walked past Azera and stripped Fusion of his weapons and returned behind Azera. "It's protocal that no demon other then those I say are to have weapons," he stated. Then he turned to the two large guard demons and nodded his head. They returned to their positions without another word. "Now if you will, follow me," Azera commanded to Fusion before turning and walking through the now more open gate.

[Fusion X. Denver]

OOC: Fusion had 4 power-ups for Kisune and never used them >.> Just in case anyone forgot.

Fusion was taken aback at how menacing the gate looked close up, it was truly gigantic. He was even more surprised when none other than Azera appeared from behind the gate and spoke to him. "Feh, probably dragged me down here just cuz I killed you.." Fusion muttered. Then Azera snapped his fingers and the demons came and took Fusion's hammer and 4 power-ups from him with remarkable speed. He figured he had no choice though, as the demons and Azera already were walking back in. Fusion furrowed his brow and cautiously followed. "So what the hell do you want anyway?" he asked Azera.

[Shadow Zero]

In the moment that Ze'Borova attacked,a lightning spell shield appeared. It probably wouldn't do any real damage to Ze'Borova being that he was a lightning user, but it would knock him back several feet at the least. In the exact same moment, Dark Shadow was behind Ze'Borova, slicing a blade of chaotic energies that he had summoned across his back. "You sure talk a big game, but can you back it up? I'll have you know that the Shadow you fought alongside before has nothing on me." Dark Shadow gave a rather dark grin as he followed up the first slice with several others, then seemed to suddenly appear above immediately Ze'Borova without any noticeable movement and fired of a blast of chaotic energies into him.

[Ultimate Assassin Ninjew]

"It is not what I want. It is just the balance of souls," Azera began as they walked. Multiple fiery buildings and towers could be seen going farther then the eye could see. The river of fire split off to each one and lowly demons could be seen all over them. "You see, everytime someone dies they either go to heaven or hell. The way thier soul goes depends on what they do in life and it doesn't depend on the amount. Even if you do only good for your life, the moment you do one thing bad could outweigh all the good. However your recent sins have been enough to put you here. If you had done only good or repayed your bad, then you would have gone to heaven. Oh and killing me didn't change anything, as I was never a part of the original balance of Souls," he said. Soon the amount of buildings began to become scarce, but only to reveal 3 prision like buildings, each with a pair of guards. These guards were different, but from their location at the moment, it was hard to make them out. Azera stopped walking and turned to his right, where the fire path had spilt off. Off of that pathway it split 3 more times, each path to each prision. Azera walked down this path and took the center pathway. The center pathway was to the smallest of the 3 prisions and looked as if there was even more security then the other 3 as well. "You'll be staying at the high maintenace prision, where I deem the demons or souls that need to be put away from the others. Your cell will be bigger then the other prisions have, but your capablities inside will be basiclly nothing," Azera stated. The demons who held Fusion's weapons continued on the original pathway before turning down a side path to a tower. There were high ranked demons around, but no guard demons. They dissappeared inside the building as Azera held out his arm towards the prision. "You'll now be walking in front of me for as you know, I do not need you running away now that no one is behind you," Azera said.

[BlackSkullCortez]

"Screw it!" Cortez was still enraged by the death of Fusion, and that Shadow teleported them out when Cortez saw an opportunity to strike. Derek woke up after being unconscious because of his contact with real earth, and he almost panicked when he saw Liz bleeding. "Relax, bud. She has a healing factor. I forgot to tell you that, didn't I?" When Cortez saw the cuts were actually getting worse, he frowned. "Medical emergency." He turned to see Shadow's darker half fighting Ze'b. "I'll leave you two to hug it out and make out later, but for now I'm going to get her to medical attention because I'm NOT SELFISH!" Cortez swung his sword in a full 180 degrees circle towards Shadow and Ze'b. His wind strike whirled up a temporary gust of sand, but it would only cloak them from Ze'b and Shadow's battle, not interfere at all. By the time the sandstorm would die out, Cortez would be long gone, along with Derek.

 

Derek carried Liz on a floating piece of sandstone while Cortez ran in front of them. He sighed, since he had very little friends, and he already lost Fusion. He was wondering what he would do once Liz arrived in the hospital, and he tried casting her cuts with a light layer of earth. It did not work, and Derek felt that the cuts would not recover easily. All he could do was hope, but he focused on one thought in his head. Once I get Liz to safety, I must find Go Ryoko.

 

After about 3 hours, it was already night as the two of them and the unconscious Liz arrived at a hospital in Konohagakure, but Cortez realized something and punched the ground as hard as he could. "Dammit! Sven killed everybody in this city! The hospital is freaking useless!" As he finished speaking, lost of thoughts, Derek realized he couldn't think of anything either. Liz started barely gaining consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she saw one single star. As she fell unconscious, something spectacular happened in her dreams.

 

Liz woke up in her dream, and found herself in the middle of a field. Not an ordinary field, but one that looked like part of Utopia. She started wandering aimlessly, but she somehow felt like she was looking for something. This is just like when you've forgotten what you're looking for, but you still look for it. Except I never new what I was looking for. She thought that until she looked ahead of her. All there was in front of her was a gleaming rainbow five-pointed star. It said nothing to her. However, Liz was intrigued and approached it. When she placed her fingertips against it, she could feel a starbolt running to her hand. The star started speaking to her brain. "Relax. This is nothing to harm you. I am simply giving you our power." Liz loudly asked, "What?" The star continued, "You have been given the powers of the stars, but you have not unlocked them yet. I shall show you what you are capable of." Just then, thousands of thoughts ran through Liz's heads. It was like a small container stuffed with pictures suddenly bursted open in her mind. She started realizing many attacks she has learned before, and woke up screaming. Her cuts clotted. "Sorry. Did I worry you guys?"

[El Make]

Yurusu carefully picked up Tenkai's body, laying it gently onto the resting place he had set up. He took a second to gain his bearings, remembering the time Tenkai had spent training him here, all the hard work he had gone through... Up here, in this desolate mountain range where he last got to see Tenkai as a teacher. It was dark in the quiet cave, only a single torch glowing upon the wall as Yurusu shot a small amount of lightning onto the twigs beneath his mentor's body, causing a fire to start raging.

 

God... I'm not sure if this is the way you wanted to go or not but... If anything, I'd want my last memory of you to be in this spot, where that bond we had... finally... finally came to be strong. I know you shut out the world, I know you hated Fusion, I know you hated life itself... but... If I knew one thing about you... it's that... you didn't hate me, or your friend you lost way back when... There's just, some kind of bond between you and I... that...

 

The fire had completely engulfed Tenkai now, eating away at the corpse and turning it to ash. The stone in Yurusu's pocket felt like ice, solid, death filled ice...

---------------

At last it was done, and Tenkai's ashes were gathered up and placed into a small jar Yurusu had brought with him. Tenka Kurayami, simply placed into a jar and carried like a possesion. Oh how he would kill the person who put him there...

---------------

The ashes fell like black rain, scattering across the valley bellow the peak of the mountain where Yurusu stood. The jar was empty now, Tenkai's self seemingly coating the whole area. After staring into the sky for about 5 minutes, the shinigami disappeared from the very spot he stood.

---------------

"GAH!" Yurusu yelled as he appeared on the riverbank near the mountain he had just been in, "This stone is practically on fire!" He pulled out the stone, heat ementating from it as if boiling water had just been coating it. Suddenly, Yurusu's vision went black, and a voice echoed through his mind.

 

"Hello, Yurusu..." The voice of Tenkai Kurayami recited.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Fusion had listened to Azera's explanation with bitter resentment while gathering heat energy behind his back. However, he soon realized there was no escape and submitted. When he entered the prison, it surprisingly looked ordinary, as if it were a prison on Earth. Except here there were demons in the cages, glaring out at him and Azera. A guard opened a cell for him; however since Azera was behind Fusion, he had no choice but to walk in. He heard Azera talk for a bit and then slumped down next to the other demon in his cell, who was crouched in the corner.

 

"Hey uh, you alright?" Fusion asked it. It turned to him and said, "No, not really. It's hard to find righteousness in this place." Fusion nodded and asked, "What's your name?" The demon slowly turned to him and said, "I am Desool. I presume you to be the Fusion X. Denver we've been hearing about." He saw the confused look on Fusion's face and continued, "Azera had been in the mortal plane for a while, so seeing our lord back in Hell was a shocker."

 

Fusion nodded, "So this Azera...how is he the King of Hell? People back in my world always said it was Satan that ruled here." The demon hushed him and looked around quickly. "Please do not speak of that name, it is forbidden. But it seems that the guards are gone. You see, some time ago Satan was ruling Hell just as he always been. But his Unholiness had a child you see, and after some years had passed, this child overthrew his reign, stripped him of his powers, and imprisoned him in one of the towers like the one we're in."

 

Fusion remained silent and asked, "Do people prefer Azera's or Satan's rule?" Desool replied, "Well, most of the populace prefers Azera actually, but I personally wish Satan was ruling again. Same with all the other demons in here, they obviously hate Azera." Fusion thought it over for a minute and decided he'd have to swallow his pride. "He's a Dragon Lord, I won't let him get away with his rule. I'm going to rescue Satan and defeat Azera. If I have to live here forever, I might as well make myself comfy."

[Mr.WHAM]

OOC: I forgot what I wanted Zeb to take from Shadow...also yea that electric blast has been coming for three posts.

 

The energy that Shadow had summoned was met with a veil of electricity. It actually was the bolt that Ze'borova shocked himself with. It would protect him from a sneak attack like that coming from behind. Knowing things were serious he just smiled and shrugged it off as the lightning blast finally erupted from the ground and hit Shadow. His orb missed and probably would have hit and killed some of the others had it not been for the wind shield. The lightning blast would knock Shadow back a few feet even if he managed to some how block it. "Your right about Ranmyaku; I would've need my Bankai by now." Ze'borova turned and shot a charged black beam to Shadows chest. He was going to restrict his movements. In the same way that he done with Alvaro and half attemted with Sven. The first thing Ze'bororv a did though was surround his fists in lightning once more. Then he threw a solid, single ounce at Shadow and intentionally missed. As it landed at his sided it created an explosion that flung them apart. His plan had the usual layers, minus the double-sided ness. The lust and rage that was building in Ze'borova would rob this Shadow of his gems...and then....then...Ze'borova wanted so if there was truly enough Order in them to bring her back.

[El Make]

"T-Tenkai!?" Yurusu exclaimed as his vision returned. In front of him was Tenkai Kurayami, both arms intact and shaodws swirling around him like wisps of fire. The scenery around them had changed from a riverbank to a giant field, the edge of the swaying grass not visible from where they stood. The sun shone brightly above them, gleaming off of Tenkai's hair.

 

"Yes, it's me Yurusu... Me, Tenkai, who died not so long ago," he said, flicking a few hairs out of his eyesight, "And I see you were able to get the stone to work..." Yurusu was still in shock, but yet somehow managed the utter some words.

 

"But if you're dead... why... are you here? Where is here?"

 

"Tsk, tsk," Tenkai sighed, "You really haven't figured it out, have you Yurusu? This place is a world I created from the stone we both held, where I planned to talk to you after my death... Now, I have some important things to tell-"

 

"YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO DIE!?" Yurusu exclaimed, seemingly ready to punch his mentor on the spot. But Tenkai meerly paated him on the should and shook his head.

 

"It was inevitable Yurusu..." He whispered, "My ultimate attack takes my life, but by doing so, I've done so much more than an attack... Now, I need to tell you something important. No interuptions. No fears, just talk... Now, I'll tell you the point of the stones. The stones we had were special, in a way that one sent off signals, and the other recievfed them. In this case, the signals were power surges and fails. Remember when I used Devastation? The rock must have become at least 200 degrees, yet when I suffered its side effects, went below 0 with ease... This served the purpose of letting you know how the fight was going, and when if the long battle was drawing to a close so you could unleash all your power... yet you didn't do that... The second purpose of it was to let you feel my death, so you would become enraged and go all out... but you failed that too..."

 

"What does this have to do with this last message you gave me?" Yurusu groaned.

 

"I was getting to that," Tenkai hissed, "The third purpose was to form this dimension, where we could talk without worry. By that I mean, I don't have to worry about people seeing how I really feel about you, how I came to find you're one of the only true friends I've ever had. How I have a bond with you that can't be broken, how I take pride in knowing I trained you... hehehe, so much for my cool-emo image." Yurusu was shocked at the sudden revalation, simply able to only stare at Tenkai with his mouth open. The Sneaking Shadow waved his hand infront of Yurusu's face, snapping him out of the trance.

 

"Alright, my time here is going short... I have business to attend in the afterlife, and when I left, it couldn't have been at a worse time," Tenkai said, suddenly growing serious, "So before I go, I need to let you know that a friend of mine may be paying you a visit sometime. Kepp the name Kuru Uchiha in mind... you might need it..."

 

"Kuru? The hell is a name like that?" Yurusu mumbled, "And wait, the only reason for the stone was that? You made it sound like it would have way more of an impact!" Tenkai had turned his back to the shinigami now, shadows still enveloping him.

 

"Oh, did I forget?" Tenkai chuckled, "The stone had another purpose... You'll love the gift it gives, but just be wary, it WILL sting a bit... hehehe..." And with that he faded away, leaving Yurusu puzzled. Suddenly, the grass around him shot up and strangled his body, covering him until he could neither move nor breathe...

--------------------------

Yurusu opened his eyes, the black stone resting peacefully in his hand. He still stood at the riverbank, going over the recent events to occur.

 

That was strange... what did Tenkai mean by a gift? I don't feel any different at all! As he thought those words, the stone exploded into millions of pieces, shadows rushing out of it like a rampage of bulls. The shadows bore into Yurusu, making it feel like flames were covering him.

 

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" More and more shadows burrowed into his body, creating a demonic aura circling him. The wind whipped up by the auru threw dust around him, as well as shadows mixing in with the current. The ground around him began to crack, and the river churned this way and that, like an unseen force was messing with the current. Soon six, paper thin lines of shadows, 10 feet tall each, burst out of Yurusu's body and sliced through the surrounding area, exploding after 5 senconds of travel. This resulted in 2 hitting the river, giant shots of water bursting upward as a result.

 

Sutoraiki's spirit tried to fight off the shadow's power, but was easily pushed back by sheer brute force. Yurusu's hair began to change, becoming shorter in the back, and turning as deep of a black as Tenkai's was. 6 streaks of dark red rank through his hair now, making him look darker and evil. Beneath the sheath, Sutoraiki's blade began to to turn black, starting at the base and soon working its way down like a virus. The blue zig zags that once were, were now a shade of red resembling the streaks in Yurusu's hair, and the hilt twisted into the shape of the infinite symbol.

 

At last, the attack settled down, leaving Yurusu kneeling in a cloud of dust with his new outfit (for even his headband had turned black). Opening his eyes, he crawled over to the river, looking at his reflection in the murky water. Instantly he noticed his eyes had turned red, and he ran a hand through his new hair. Standing up, he saw that his figure was a little slimmer now and that his shinigami robe's white lining had become black.

 

Red and black... my new colors... what have you done to me, Tenkai? What have you done?

 

OOC: Will post new info about Yurusu when I get the chance... >:3
