The Kerikoi Clan[Started/Still Accepting][Advanced Clause][Action/Romance][PG-16]

[Hotaru987]

"Susano'o.....What an unfortunate surprise." Sano said looking at the leader now on his toes. He was not expecting him to show up. If he tried to leave now then they may follow him back to their hideout. Having no choice he sent a message to Blackmoore allowing him to see through Sano's eyes. Now that Blackmoor knew the situation he would await further instructions before acting. "It's quite a surprise that you all are here. Here I thought we were the 'evil' ones. Look whos ganging p on whom." Sano chuckled one hand on his hilt. He knew it would be stupid to pry into Susano'o's mind. Reina was still trapped in her worst fear, and there were three Kerikoi clan members, four counting Susano'o.

 

What do I do?....I don't want to fight him....But if I don't then Susano;o might suspect me of being a spy, or a traitor.... Mitsuya thought struggling on weather or not to fight. She glanced at Zain for a quick second before looking back at Sano.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

At that point Blackmoore completely stopped what he was doing, realizing just how wrong everything had wound up from Sano's message. He simply took the food he had been preparing, which was essentially finished by now, and placed it off over a burner on the stove which he hadn't turned on. He quickly shut off the burner on the stove and began running as fast as he could down the corridor from the kitchen to the entrance. Halfway there he realized he would go much faster if he used his telekinesis for travel, as he had previously to arrive there. Leaping off the ground, he took to the air and soon came rocketing out of the Chano Clan headquarters at several times the speed of sound. Perhaps the members of the Kerikoi clan would sense him coming, and perhaps he would be moving too quickly for them to notice before he was upon them. Regardless, it took him hardly thirty seconds to reach the spot on the river where they were, and he stopped himself by doing several back flips to reduce his forward momentum. A few moments after he stopped flipping end over end in the air, the rush of wind following him, as well as the sound of the sonic boom reached the group. The wind was strong enough that it could very well knock a few of them to the ground, but it only lasted a few seconds, and the sound of the Sonic Boom would likely be enough to daze them all for a few moments. Blackmoore, however, simply remained hovering there a few feet off the ground with his arms at his sides. He looked over every single person there, before his eyes locked on Susano'o.

 

"So...ya ARE Kerikoi. Well...that's just bloody brilliant. I go through the trouble a makin' enough food for meself, me apprentice, an' the stranger in distress only ta find out that yer KERIKOI! That's just no fuckin' good...Sano, stand back Lad."

 

With that, he brought his massive gauntlets up in front of his chest and crossed them over each other, as he slowly set himself down on the ground between Sano and the Kerikoi. The blood red and pure white glows of Cain and Able began to intensify and spread to the entire back plate and pistons on the top of either of the two fist weapons. As this happened, Blackmoore recited the incantation to release the first level of his fist weapons, granting him ten times the strength he already possessed.

 

"Cain 'n Able, ferget thine differences for a time. Awaken and do battle, Delta Release!"

[The D.M.]

Susano'o brought his palm against the the blade of his sword and sliced it open. Suddenly five symbold representing Fire, Earth, Water, Metal and Wood Appeared on his blade. Susano'o smirked. It was finally time to unleash his technique. "Swifter Than the wind...Still as the Forest...Hotter than fire and more magnificent than a mountain!!" Susano'os entire body began glowing a red aura as the earth trembled under the force. "FU RIN KA ZAN!!! I AM SUSANO'O KERIKOI!!! THE END HAS COME FOR YOU!!!" He said with a final shout as a mighty gale ripped through the air and his aura became as if he were enulfed in raging fire.

[Hotaru987]

Sano couldn't help but release a sigh of relief when Blackmoore appeared. He was confident in his abilities, but he wasn't stupid. Going up against five Kerkoi by himself would be suicide. "I will leave him to you master." He said before facing Soul, Mitsuya and Zain. "As for you three, I will not allow you to interfear with their battle. As long as you don't move then neight shall I."

Mitsuya used this as an excuse not to attack him. She then looked over at the girl. She saw her earlier with Soul and wondered if she was the new girl the clan was buzzing about yesterday. She assumed this was the Reina girl Zain had mentioned earlier. Reina didn't look that well and wondered what was wrong with her.

Once Sano was sure that none of them would attack he turned back to watch the battle, but still made sure to keep alert just in case Zain, Soul or Mitsuya tried anything funny.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Blackmoore laughed aloud as he felt the ground shaking beneath him. He threw his hands out and then brought them up, curled into fists inside of his immense mechanical gauntlets, into a boxing stance. He jumped once into the air, before slamming back down with ground-shattering force. He looked straight across to Susano'o and laughed aloud once more, not a humorous laugh so much as the insane laugh of a fanatic who has found an appropriate opponent.

 

"Well, I'm glad ta see yer no pushover, lad. That woulda made my revenge completely unsatisfying. Now, drop the talk and fight!"

 

As he said the last word, he gathered chaos energy in a form in Cain that would allow him to force a malignant burst of it into whomever it was that he happened to be fighting. At the same time, he leapt forward with all of his strength propelling him at such a great speed that one would truly have to have incredibly reflexes to dodge him. The leap was entirely to put more force behind the punch he was planning to deliver with Cain in a downward arc towards Susano'o. His target was the exact center of the Kerikoi leader's torso.

[The D.M.]

Susano'o took a defensive stance and called out a Magitama. "ZAN!! Mountain Barrier!" A massive wall of earth put itself inbetween Blackmoore and Susano'o. However since John could easily smash through mere Rock Susano'o saw fit to put spikes on the wall that John was rushing headlong into. He lifted his sword readying himself to counterattack should Black break through the barrier.

Susano'o took a defensive stance and called out a Magitama. "ZAN!! Mountain Barrier!" A massive wall of earth put itself inbetween Blackmoore and Susano'o. However since John could easily smash through mere Rock Susano'o saw fit to put spikes on the wall that John was rushing headlong into. He lifted his sword readying himself to counterattack should Black break through the barrier.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Just as Susano'o created the spikes on the front of the barrier he was rushing in to, Blackmoore called upon the power of Order in Able to create a bubble-like shield around himself. The shield was pleanty strong enough to break the spikes down and to allow him to completely bash through the barrier without wasting a punch from Cain. As he came crashing through the barrier, he brought Cain down in an over-handed arc towards Susano'o who would be almost completely unable to dodge at this point, and whose blade would have very little effect due to the barrier that John had surrounded himself with. However, Blackmoore was more than expecting that his foe could take a punch or two at Delta release. I mean, neither of them had powered up enough to even use the Epic Battle clause yet.

[The D.M.]

Susano'o let hismelf fly with a punch from Cain and as he was sent backwards he gathered a mass of air and threw it in the form of a disk. It gave a high pitch whirring noise as it flew twords Blackmoore with enough cutting power to slice a soilid steel wall. "Let's see that damn barrier stand up to THAT!" He shouted as he impacted the ground and then immidiatley got back up and stabbed his sword into the ground. "ZAN! Stone Spiral!" From behind John Blackmoore a rock drill appeared and began tunneling through his barrier

[Asriel Dreemurr]

As Susano'o sent the whirring disk of air flying at him, Blackmoore set his feet firmly in the ground and threw himself to the side, just barely avoiding being struck by it. he chuckled quietly as he felt the chaos he had gathered within Cain had been transferred to Susano'o's body. It wouldn't be very long until he started to feel the ill effects of the malignant chaos having been imparted to him. However, Blackmoore decided to try and do him a bit of mercy in that. As the stone drill began driving into his barrier from behind, he simply jumped forward with Able extended and his hand open. From the palm, three shots of the energy known as Order came tearing across the area like bullets. If they were to strike, they would likely do some appreciable damage, but at the same time they would negate about half of the chaos that he had imparted with the first punch from Cain.

 

"Let's see somethin' harder Lad! yer makin' this too easy!"

[The D.M.]

Susano'o ducked the blasts of Order and swung his sword in an upward arc twords Black. "RUIN RAY!!" Susano'o shouted as a positivley gigantic wave of equal parts Earth Fragments, Razor Sharp Air and Ice particles flew at Blackmoore. "You'll find Mr.Blackmoore that i can easily live up to my namesake Godlyhood." Susano'o said with an edge of confidence as the wave of sheer devastation made way twords John with blinding speed.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Blackmoore laughed aloud as he saw the wave of earth, and ice came rushing at him. He interlocked the fingers of Cain and Able, before slamming them into the ground with an incredible amount of strength. It tore open what might be considered a narrow fissure in front of him, which acted to take in a substantial amount of the earth and ice, creating a gap in the wave which he managed to jump through, though not unharmed. He was caught by a few of the larger ice razors and was cut in several places as a result. As he flew through the air, he turned both of his hands upside down and aimed the palms of both at Susano'o. From Cain, five arrow-head shaped blasts of chaos energy came tearing forth and from Able, five bullet-shaped blasts. They all were let loose before he struck the ground, laughing aloud as he realized just how close that had been. He now once more crossed Cain over Able in front of his chest to prepare for another release.

 

"Perhaps I should kick this up a notch. Cain 'n able, thou art awakened. Now, open thine eyes an' see thine enemy, Beta Release!"

 

As he said this, the blood red glow of Cain and the pure white glow of Able spread to the whole of the armor plating that covered his forearms, though the fingers did not yet glow. The second release of Cain and Able brought him up to ten times the strength of the first release. In other words, One Hundred times the strength he normally possessed without their release. As such, the chaotic powers of Cain and the power of order from Able were also increased in the same way. To demonstrate this, Blackmoore threw his arms out, unleashing two arcing waves of Chaos and Order towards Susano'o. The waves gradually came closer to each other and when they did meet, they would cancel each other out in quite a spectacular explosion.

[The D.M.]

Susano'o stared down the waves of Chaos and Order coming at him and narrowed his eyes. "I have to admit Blackmoore you do not dissapoint. Behold...my TRUE Power" Susano'o said as he stabbed his blade into the ground a howling flash of energy sent the incoming waves of Chaos and Order flying. Susano'os hair was a pure white and his right arm was ablaze with fire. His left arm had become a shield made from what appeared to be pure diamond. The Shield was massive enough to cover All of Susano'o when put forward. "The Ultimate Defense. Sankishin Tsukuyomi!!" He held up his Katana which was now ablaze with white and blue flames that licked the blade. "The Ultimate Attack. Sankishin Amaterasu!!" He held up his shield and began channeling heat energy into it. The magnifying nature of the Crystalinne shield caused a thick beam of pure white hot light to erupt from the shield and fly directly at Blackmoore incinerating anything in it's path in a mere split second.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

It was at that moment that Blackmoore chose to use something very very simple about the form of attack that Susano'o was using. The fact that it was a beam of light made it very easy to deflect if he chose to do so. In his left hand, he created a highly compacted disk of order which he imparted with the nature of a mirror. In other words, which he made reflective. He brought his hand up in such a way that it would seem he was trying to catch the beam of light, and at the moment it struck the disk of Order in his hand, it was reflected back at Susano'o. The crystalline nature of his shield would now be used against him as the beam was sent back through it. However, due to the angle at which it struck the shield it was turned into something more like a shotgun blast than a sniper round. The beam was split into several smaller ones which all lanced out at Susano'o.

 

"Oh, right lad Like I'm gonna be dumb enough ta let somebody get ready ta shoot a bloody laser at me withou' gettin' a defense ready. An' now, if that wa'n't enough, Be struck by the Power of Chaos!."

 

As he spoke the last seven words, a wide reaching pulse of chaos went out from Cain. Due to the spherical nature of the pulse, it was essentially impossible to dodge and as it made contact with Susano'o, the chaos that had been imparted within him earlier from the direct punch began to attack his body from the inside out. It spread and metastasized like a cancer, eating away at him for several moments before it died out. However, the chaos very quickly expelled itself from him, as it had been forcing its way out from within him on it's path.

 

OOC: Order trumps the giant magic Laser, and Chaos just proved there's more than one way to use it to attack in it's raw state.

[CristalFlames]

Reina's eyes were wide with fear. "No..." She said to herself. "No...no no no no no!!!!!!" She started screaming. Her fears were playing in her mind and she could feel them all as if they were real. Reina screamed louder. Nothing she did would stop what she saw and felt. It was fake to everyone but real to her. She had tried to get through a mind barrier and got burned in the end. "Stop it!" She screamed. The things in her mind were scareing her to where her body shook. She didn't know that anyone else was there at the time.

[Žäīἢ]

Zain stood there watching the battle, not daring to make a move to help out Reina to prevent a second battle from starting.The last thing we need is for the rest of us to get tied up in a fight....He looked over at Reina when she screamed. He looked back at Mitsuya's brother, for he was the only one who could be doing anything to her.He must be a mind reader....this isn't good....He instantly put up a barrier in his mind. " I recommend you stop whatever you're doing to her.........or else I'll tear through you." He said griping the hilt of his blade tighter.

[^l~Soul~l^]

Soul got up and pulled out his sword and looked at the man."I am afraid I will have to do the same..."He stood next to Reina making sure she wouldn't get hurt physically.He knew what the man was doing to her.But if he ws able to break the connection it would stop."Reina.....You know....Even after you left....I still Love you.............And I Still do...."He said looking down at her.

[Hotaru987]

Sano was watching the battle between the two leaders when Reina's scream pulled his attention to the other four Kerikoi members. "Don't do anything stupid." Sano stated, his sword still not drawn. "And besides it's her own fault. I warned her about attempting to penetrait my mind, and if she hadn't ran from your clan none of this would've happened." He closed his eyes for a second before opening them. "But if you insist on a battle then I will not stop you. Just be prepared to die." Sano did a quick scan of Zain's and Souls mind. Zain had a barrier up and he didn't feel like prying at it for the weak spot.

 

Mitsuya sighed to herself. She knew what she would do if it came down to it....She would fight her brother. Never kill him, but enough to stop him for the time being. Besides he was doing something to hurt Reina. She didn't know her at all but she was still a part of the Kerikoi and so Mitsuya had to help and protect her. She knew Sano wouldn't kill her but whatever he was doing to hermust've been horrible. Her scream sent shivers down her spine.

[The D.M.]

Susano'o vomited a puddle of blood. "ARGH!!! DAMMIT!!" He was losing. Badly this ranged combat wasnt working for him. So he decided it was time to get personal. He dashed at Blackmoore at full speed with his shield before him. He swung using his mighty shield as a melee weapon coming at Blackmoore like a charging spartan. "LETS GET IT ON!!!"

[Asriel Dreemurr]

Blackmoore grabbed at the edges of the shield as Susano'o tried to slam it against him. While the shield may have been of stronger material than his gauntlets, he was many times stronger than Susano'o, and as such he brought him to a complete stop with relative ease. He chuckled quietly as he now spun around, keeping his grip tight on the shield, before he hurled his foe straight up into the air above him. He then hurled himself up after him, quickly rising up above him. He interlocked the fingers of Cain and Able, raising them above his head before bringing them down in a pile-drive onto his foe. If it were to strike him, Susano'o would be sent hurtling straight down into the ground by the force of the impact. Due to their being airborne, it would be nearly impossible to dodge.

 

"Yer gonna need more 'n that, lad!"

[MortalKombatSmoke]

Kakeru had heard Susano'o's scream and dashed off with his three Katana's in hand. He carried his Golden one in his right hand, his Crimson one in his left, and his Shadow one in his mouth, after a few minutes he eventually saw Susano'o getting slashed by the infamous, "Blackmoore!" As he was about to strike with his two gauntlets, Kakeru threw a few Ninja Stars at Blackmoore's back, "Stay away from Lord Susano'o!" Kakeru jumped down and landed a few feet behind Blackmoore's striking distance, when he had talked he held his shadow Katana in his left hand, he then threw it back in his mouth and growled at him.

[Asriel Dreemurr]

OOC: Yeah...Blackmoore's in the air. You're not outside his striking distance.

 

After delivering the blow that would almost undoubtedly send Susano'o hurtling into the ground, Blackmoore became aware of three stabbing pains in his back. He howled in rage as he spun about in mid-air and used his Telekinetic powers to send him hurtling at mach 3 towards Kakeru. Whilst he flew towards what would doubtless be a completely unsatisfying battle, he kept the fingers of his gauntlets interlocked and held them by his waist. As he reached Kakeru, he brought them up in the exact reverse of the strike he had delivered to Susano'o. In other words, he brought his gauntlets up to strike at him in sort of an uppercut. It was all very possible that he would arrive in time to cut off the man's sentence by plowing his fists into his chest. The combination of his speed and strength would doubtlessly make the strike of more than sufficient force to send him flying off in the direction he had come from, along with likely breaking the majority of his ribs.

[The D.M.]

Susano'o Recovered and saw that Blackmoore was flying at Kakeru. He dashed using the wind to back him. He put his shield forward again just as Blackmoore was at the peak of his charge. It would be nearly impossible for Blackmoore to see Susano'o coming and a reaction in time would be even less likley. Susano'o rocketed forward his shield ready to hit Blackmoore square in the back of the head. and the force of this blow could send a gorilla flying

[MortalKombatSmoke]

Kakeru saw how Blackmoore came hurtling at him "Damn he's fast!" Kakeru did a quick forward roll and jumped to the side to avoid the attack, Blackmoore didn't realize that Kakeru was extremely fast as well, he could only imagine what else was in store seeing how he just avoided the attack. "I'm gonna need to do this right!" Kakeru then jumped back onto a tree and placed his two swords into it, he then took the Shadow Katana into his right hand, "Bring it!"

[Asriel Dreemurr]

OOC: MKS...do you realize just HOW fast Mach 3 is? Three times the speed of sound. Sound travels at 343 meters per second at sea level in dry air at 20 degrees Celsius, about 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Blackmoore was going three times that speed. So, basically, in ONE SECOND he would travel just under a kilometer. The human brain cannot process reactions that fast and, well, you wouldn't even be able to see him coming at you at that speed. BEHOLD MY SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE.

 

Blackmoore was carried forward a substantial distance by the strike he had been attempting to perform, and to put it mildly he was pissed. Pissed enough that he flipped around backwards to try and get Kakeru in his line of sight and in doing so he spun right about to see Susano'o coming to slam his shield into him again. Not really having much time to react, Blackmoore shot his hands out to catch the shield again. Though, due to it's proximity, he would still be struck by it the impact was substantially lessened. He now brought himself to the ground simply by ceasing to levitate and drove his feet down. He brought himself to a complete stop very quickly with the sheer force of his strength alone. Now, he tightened his grip on the shield and hurled it to his left, Susano'o's right. This would cause his foe to be spun around and expose his back, which Blackmoore would quickly take advantage of by driving first Able forward in a bone-shattering punch aimed at his foe's right shoulder blade. He followed this with an equally strong punch from Cain, aimed at the center of Susano'o's back, just above his pelvis.
