*Klak allows Praepositus to leave, and unites with his group*

Me: If it weren't for my respect for your code of honor, Nadle, I would definitely have hurt you! You didn't even help!

Nadle: "I will not always be here, Klak. You remain on the path of fighting your own battles. Now that I mention it, you need to be trained before my time comes..."

Me: Treveya and I both...look at her! She'll be destroyed by Malygos...

Nadle: "Perhaps she will need help from someone powerful..."

*Nadle attempts to communicate with mentally, but feels interference*

Nadle: "Something....is speaking to her...Something very powerful."

*F-Klak comes out, carrying a knocked out Norman in one arm, and a Keyblade in another*

FK: "You rang?"

*Raziel is hurt, meanwhile, inside of the room they had been in*

---

*A portal opens, and Praepositus is teleported to the clinic room of Uterio's ship*

*the bed is behind curtains, and Praepositus hears Uterio coughing. His singed armor, without an arm, is on the wall*

*Rahksha is sitting in a chair*

Rahksha: "If you hadn't gotten that damn mission, you could have helped us get the Keruvim....no use now...he escaped!"

---

*Shadow Storm nods, and smiles*

SS: "There will be no need for the poison. Aeturnus was simply a threat to our plans, and had to be tamed. I trust your government will be much more trustworthy. Anyways, we have skirmishes here and there in order to obtain something the Generalissimo needs in order to serve the Great Beings, but we are also planning a massive attack against a formidable enemy. I will return once the plans are finalized..."

*he steps into a wisp, and vanishes*

OOS: Shadow Storm has little to no idea of Uterio's hatred against the GB's.

---

*The holy fire stabs into Treveya, and blows off part of her armor*

*she screams in pain, and collapses*

Treveya: "No.....I have light....the darkness must be purged..."

*a voice appears in her mind*

???: "But why purge what you do not understand fully yet? You may have been immersed somewhat, good enough for certain uses, but never farther..."

T: "You're not....How are you still....?"

???: "My dear, do not question me, and allow me to help in this battle."

T: "Fine..."

*Treveya suddenly is suspended in midair, and screams in pain*

*Her color begins to pale, and her eyes begin to glow red*

*she falls to the ground, landing on both feet*

???: *through her* "Whelp...." *'she' walks off of the ring*


Me: What the-*charges at the being* Who are you?

Malygos wrote:???: Identification...I have many names. I am the father of ages...I am the father of terror. I am horse-master, raven-keeper. Oath-breaker, Victory-father. I laid on the spear to understand all...I am Odin.

*He smirks*

Odin: And my blood-brother has betrayed me. The einherjar and the aesir are preparing for war...for Ragnarôk. And I want the greatest on my side.

*The red-haired man growls*

??: And I am Thor, lord of thunder.

Blackout: Interesting. Now leave. I have no interest in your squabbles. *teleports away*

*The head politician, who genuinely presumed Aeturnus dead, is shocked at Aeturnus' sudden appearence although he doesn't show it. He simply steps off of the balcony and signals with his right arm to have the curtains dropped.*

Head Politician: You're meant to be dead, but no matter... I hear that your skills are greatly over rated. *as he says this, several ninja like soldiers fall from the high ceiling like spiders and circle Aeturnus*

Aeturnus: *smirks* Let's see if I have enough bullets...

*The ninjas jump into Aeturnus and intense battling takes place. After no more than six gunshots and neck cracking the whole group on ninja lay dead.*

Head Politician: T-t-that's impossible! *With that said the politicians all run back into their senate room and bar the door.*

*If power has been officially handed over to those fools command would be almost impossible to obtain. He would have to go to the one place where he could cause the most damage... the bridge.*

---

*Pilot 1 had remained on the bridge for some time, the only one who knew he was there was the colonel and he's long since dead.*

Pilot 1: Aeturnus is back on the radar! I don't think that the colonel will have much trouble now...

---

*After running our of bullets, Aeturnus unsheaths his sword and systematically clears every hallway of his once honourable troops.*

Aeturnus: How many of you did I clone?! *He stops exhausted at the end of one hallway, with not far to go, when a major steps between him and his destination. *By this point Aeturnus is on his knees, he would have to train himself in stamina. He swings his sword at the major but the blow is caught and the rapier taken from his hand.*

*Major has light Irish accent.*

Major: I wouldn't stop to rest Field Marshal, you don't have much time... *Being a major and having 216 men under his command the major was able to clear the rest of the way. Some of his men run back to pick up Aeturnus, the rest line the hallways.*

Aeturnus: Why- why are you helping?

Major: You see, sir... After you left the last time you left the radar, once the higher commands heard out, as you could imagine, they started squabbling for your power. Ah, here we are. The bridge sir.

*The loyal humans move themselves, some to guard the bridge and others to capture a hangar. The door wouldn't open so a team of humans open it with a large spinning blade. The door falls open and the pilot almost has a heart attack.*

Pilot 1: Aeturnus?! Welcome back.

Aeturnus: *now on his feet* No time for pleasentries, I need to do something. *He signals for the pilot to move from his seat and then types in a password.* Good, it worked. From here I can control each and every hangar. *He opens all but a few hangar doors into space so that the ships and their crews are lost into space.

Major: Pardon me askin' sir, but why didn't you open all but one of the doors?

Aeturnus: Because we need the element of suprise.

Yuuka: C-Can we go back to your ship?

Shroom: I was impressed with your fighting style. Pleased to meet you.

*He turns away, scratching his head*

[ Inside the Vesica piscis: ]

*Moss is sucked into a hole again, and is deposited into her room*

*The walls are white-green, with a hammock, a mirror on the wall and a wardrobe*

*The tube Moss was sucked in spits her into her hammock*

Moss: Wha? Where's the... The... Bird... Thing...

*Moss falls asleep again*

[ Small arena: ]

SMYu: Please... Don't...

*SMYu struggles to get SMM off her*

*SMM giggles an puts away her sword, she pulls out a jagged knife*

SMYu: DON'T!

*SMYu launches a golden beam of energy at SMM, firing her into the air*

*SMYu flies up to follow her, and goes for a swipe with her claws*

SMM: *Blocks* Hand-to-hand combat isn't your best, is it?

SMYu: I don't have hands!

*She grabs onto SMM's shoulders with her claws, and they land*

SMM: Heheheh...

*SMM is lying on her back, with SMYu standing on her shoulders bending down, face to face with her*

SMM: *Goes into a manic laugh*

SMYu: I win.

SMM: *Starts to laugh even more*

*SMYu gets off, and they both laugh, walking away from the small arena*

OOS: I need Mr. Klak do do something so I can progress with the story.

*Malygos sees Treveya leave the ring*

Malygos: You forfeit the match, then. Just as it was getting fun...

*The wing disperses, the energy seeping back into Malygos*

---

*At the spot Blackout teleports to, Odin is waiting*

Odin: But I think you'd be interested here...my blood brother, Loki...has sided with one who you would want to destroy.

*Odin smirks*

Odin: Perhaps you have heard of the old one, Malygos?

OOS: Great, I finally get back and KoN disappears...
Also, Klak, could you have one of your random people tell Namine where you are?

[ Restaurant: ]

Vi: *Smiles* Sure thing.

*She begins trying to gently rouse Wisp*

Dorothy: *Remains sitting there, but turns head slightly to look at the group*

Haruko: *Has half-dragged Ryoko out of the booth* O~ra, o~ra!

Ryoko: *With a grumble, finally wakes up fully* ...I don't wanna get beat up by Zev's sister again...

Haruko: *Lays a hand on Ryoko's shoulder* Come on, Ryoko!! Believe in yourself!!

Ryoko: *Sniffs loudly* I can't...She beat me so easy...And Zev's not going to choose me over his sister...

Haruko: *Grabs Ryoko's shoulders* Fine! Don't believe in yourself, then!!

*She points to herself with one thumb, smiling*

Haruko: Believe in me, who believes in you!!

Ryoko: ... *Sniffle* ... *Hugs the pinkhaired woman tight* ...You're too kind...

Haruko: NYO~HOHOHO~! Yes, cry your worries into my bossom!!

Vi: ... *Facepalm* ...

...

[ Sparring Arena: ]

Tamao: *Smiles at Shroom* I thank you for the compliment. I'm pleased to see that my Big Brother has made good friends.

*She looks over at Namah and Rutherfor, smiling to them as well*

Tamao: You two, as well. It makes me happy to see that Zev has so many people who care about him.

*Abruptly, she stands much more straight; looking towards the entrance to the arena*

Mikihisa & Sagihime: *Approach the group calmly and silently*

Zev: *Eyes widen* ...Uncle Miki? Auntie Sagi? When did you get here? *Runs over at top speed*

Mikihisa: *Chuckles* It makes me happy that even though you've grown up, you'll still give your uncle some sugar, Zevvy.

*The two hug for a moment, before Zev turns to Sagihime cautiously*

Zev: Um...H...Hello, Sagihime-obasan...I'm glad to see you and Mikihisa-ojisan are doing so well... *Bows awkwardly*

Sagihime: ... *Waits until Zev stands, and then hugs him gracefully* Do not badger me like that. I'm not soft in heart and head like your uncle, but I still want a hug from my nephew once in a while.

*As the two pull apart, allowing Tamao to hug Mikihisa and Sagihime with less commotion than Zev*

Tamao: ... *Looks between the two* What brings you two here? Does Father know about this?

Mikihisa: *Shakes head* We just noticed you and Zev were nearby, and wanted to visit...Though, we weren't expecting Zev to have grown like this.

Sagihime: *"Looks" over at Tamao* Were you two training before we got here?

Tamao: *Nods with restrained, but evident happiness* Yes. My Big Brother has greatly matured - He's evolved his OverSoul.

Sagihime: ...Interesting. I'd like to see Zev in private later, if you will permit - As his sensei, I'll only review his spirit with your permission.

Tamao: That's perfectly fine, Sagihime-obasan. I have no problems with such a request.

Sagihime: Thank you. *Turns to Mikihisa* Do you have any thoughts?

Mikihisa: A lot of thoughts...But I'd like to see Zev's new OverSoul in action. Would one more sparring match be okay before we cool it for the night? *Looks to Tamao for permission*

Tamao: *Bows head to him* Yes, of course. I think Zev would be fine with this. *Looks at Zev with a steely glare*

Zev: ... *Realizes he's not getting out of this* ...I have a Partner Token saved up!!

Sagihime: ... *Sighs* Of course a Raregroove would remember something like that for so long.

Mikihisa: *Chuckles* You've been married to me a while, so I'm glad you're not surprised.

Tamao: *Smiles maliciously* Alright, Zev...I'll admit, under Mother's training system, you still have the right preserved to choose a partner, after earning it thousands of years ago.

Mikihisa: Go ahead and pick, nephew. I'm looking forward to seeing this.

Zev: ... *Turns to Namah, smiling awkwardly* Say...Maybe you could -

Namah: No way. I'm not letting you drag me into familial issues. It's part of my policy.

Zev: ...I can't rightly drag a sweet girl like Rutherfor or Ryo-Ohki into this...

*He suddenly lunges, grabbing Shroom's shoulders and looking at him fearfully*

Zev: You're my only hope, Shroom. With a partner, I might at least stand a chance.

Mikihisa: *Calmly pops his neck*

[ Viewing area: ]

*Shroom looks at Zev for a long while, staring straight into his eyes*

Shroom: Fine with me. But not because I want to, its because I want to help you.

*He smiles*

Shroom: I'll try not to let you down.

*He puts a hand to his forehead nevertheless, realising what he has got himself into. But he does not back down*

...

[ Restaurant: ]

*Yuuka looks to Haruko and Ryoko, giggling*

Yuuka: That's cute.

*She stands up, rubbing her eyes with her wings*

OOS: If KoN doesn't post by the time I get on Tomorrow, I'm leaving Trantoshen where he stands

OOS: Treveya leaving the ring means Malygos wins, right?


EDIT: OOS: This was directed at you, Ynot.

OOS: Yes, that is deemed a ring out
Oh, wait, that means all rounds are over!
HUZAAH! I get to fight again!

Okay, if I remember correctly the line up is as follows:
Ynot VS Wekiga
Sasuken VS Malygos
Nadle VS Makoto

Ynot: Sorry Trantoshen, I have Somebody's face to punch. Then it's my match with Malygos. So, talk to me when I'm on New Z'traa, I'll be free then.

*Ynot walks into the arena to meet Wekiga*

Ynot: Hello there, my name is Ynot. And yours?
----

*Sasuken Crater Drops into the Arena, sparks arcing from his body*

Sasuken: Oh, this will be fun

*Malygos warps in*

Malygos: Yes. Yes it will.

*Malygos summons three swords of arcane energy.*

Malygos: Care for a dance?

*The swords start swinging (on their own) at Sasuken's feet, torso, and head.*

*Sasuken literally dances between the swords*

Sasuken: Please, this is level two of my daily training regiment!

*Breaks the routine and charges in to Malygos, placing his palm on his chest and surging him with electricity*

[ Tournament: ]

Wekiga: *Smiles* My name is Wekiga. A distinct pleasure to meet you.

*He suddenly unleashes a blast of pale gray fire*

...

[ Restaurant: ]

Vi: *Smiles* Then let's go on back.

*Standing, she looks over at Dorothy curiously*

Dorothy: *Stands up to follow after Vi*

Haruko: *Dashes out* C'mon!! We need to find an arcade to keep up your good mood!!

Ryoko: *Runs after her* You don't have to tell me twice!!

...

[ Training Arena: ]

Mikihisa: *Throws off his outer robes* Get ready, you two.

*Beneath those robes, he wears a mostly-black combat outfit, including among other articles a sleeveless black vest with a design of four flowers positioned vertically in two sets on either side of the vest's opening and beige boots reminiscent of ninja tabi*

Mikihisa: *Reaches into one of two pouches on his pantlegs, removing two small, smooth stones engraved with tiny lines of kanji; one red, one white* O.S.: Imari & Shigaraki.

*The two stones float upwards, shifting into a white kitsune and a deep red tanuki*


*Both are incredibly large, standing with their own shoulders on-level with Mikihisa's shoulders*

*The kitsune bows slightly to Shroom, speaking in a soft, feminine voice*

???: Hello. My name is Imari. A pleasure to meet you.

*Next, the tanuki bows to Shroom as well and speaks in a deep, male voice*

???: My name is Shigaraki. A pleasure to meet you.

*The two stand side-by-side with Mikihisa; all three giving off impressive amounts of energy*


Zev: ... *Leans toward Shroom* ...Those two are Yamagi; mountain spirits. Unless it's a really strong enemy, Mikihisa usually doesn't make the first move...We need a strategy.

*He draws out the Sacred Rock Knife, holding it tightly in his grasp*

Asabana: *Floats by Shroom in spirit ball form; looking very uncomfortable*

*She looks up at Imari and whimpers; however, Zev is unable to hear her*

Asabana: *Unconsciously floats closer to Shroom*

...

[ Viewing Area: ]

*Tamao has taken Rutherfor and Ryo-Ohki elsewhere*

Namah: ... *Looks up at Sagihime* Zev doesn't stand a chance against Mikihisa at the moment, does he?

Sagihime: *Bluntly* No. Even without a closer inspection, I can tell his OverSoul is not fully realized. If I were to give an optimistic, but realistic guess, he's a little over halfway to his completed OverSoul.

Namah: ... *Blinks, before looking downward* ...Yeah...He's really coming along well. It's great to see him training again, and having his family...Around...

Sagihime: It is quite obvious that you're troubled. Zev has told me about your past...Your father, and sister.

Namah: *Flinches* ...As far as that's concerned...I have a sister. Not a father.

Sagihime: I understand. When I married into Zev's family, I felt very out of place - For the longest time, my father-in-law saw me as only a back-up for continuing the bloodline, while my mother-in-law only appreciated my strength as an itako. Mikihisa was always training...Zev's father, though he cared about me, never knew how much I wanted to spend time with him as a brother. I felt entirely out-of-place...Until I met my sister-in-law.

Namah: ... *Looks up at her* Zev's mother? Misaki?

Sagihime: *Nods* She made me feel at home...And it was really thanks to her that I became able to fit in with that insane family. *Gazes down at Namah* I feel some...Potential in you. I know the pain of feeling unable to help.

Namah: *Doesn't bother trying to hide this revealed sentiment* ...What did you do?

Sagihime: Simple. I was already an itako, so one winter, I went to that hermit of an old woman I begrudgingly called mother and sat outside her shack for days. Finally, when she couldn't stand to see me sitting in the snow anymore, she brought me inside. We talked for a long time, and I discovered we had something in common that brought us together.

Namah: What did you two have in common that was so great, then? *Looks less-than-impressed with Sagihime*

*Turning her unseeing eyes to Namah, the corners of Sagihime's mouth barely curl up into a smile*

Sagihime: We both knew what it was like to fall in love with a carefree idiot, and to eventually find a need for growing strong to fight more easily beside them.

Namah: *Flinches again, blushing brightly* Hey hey! Just what are you saying!?

Sagihime: *Turns away* Nothing at all. Let me just say that I may be blind, but it doesn't take eyes for me to tell that you want to help Zev in battle.

Namah: ... *Eyes narrow cautiously at her* ...Are you offering to train me, in some way?

Sagihime: It all depends on whether you're willing. I'm much less gentle than Tamao.

Namah: ... *Smiles* You've given me something to think about. Thank you.

*With that, the two fall silent*

*The Pale Grey is met with a deep Red-Orange Fire*

Ynot: Oh, so NOW you want to play?

*Fedele is standing in front of Ynot*

OOS: Hey Zev, does Fedele have the ability to speak, I don't think we were clear on that?
I can work with either, I just wanted to know what you had in mind
(Also, now would be a good time to let me know what he can and can't do, before Author Powers take over, like KOS)

Nerd Command Central wrote:OOS: I need Mr. Klak do do something so I can progress with the story.

OOS: It pays to read my earlier posts, NCC. The Gundam said he was Wing Gundam, and asked you to state your business.
And Ynot, F-Klak just walked into where Namine was (see my previous post).

FK: "Either your looking for the old me, or for me myself...Time travel is a pain..."

---

*Rahksha gets up, and goes to Praepositus*

Rahksha: "I can't believe I am saying this, but rest. You have been fighting viciously these past few days, and need the extra time to recuperate. We will soon have a meeting on our next plan of attack."

---

*Klak clashes with "Treveya"*

Me: Who are you, and what have you done with Treveya?!

???: *it is Treveya's voice, slightly mutated* "I have given her what she wanted...and what suits me. Now now Klak, do not despair. You wish I would have been alive anyway!"

Me: What?! *he walks back, and is blasted to the wall by a shadow orb*

---

*Nadle stands in front of Makoto*

Nadle: "It pains me to leave my comrades, but I must finish this tournament. Now, madame, your move."

---

OOS: Am I missing anything?

*Malygos stumbles back a bit...revealing that he's perfectly fine*

Malygos: And shielding against an electric palm? Child's play.

*Malygos launches a volley of Shadowbolts, with a massive Fireball in the middle, with four Frostbolts splaying out to hit him if he dodges.*

OOS, Ynot: Well~

Fedele cannot speak in normal, common language. When you two become closer, you can share empathic communication. He possesses the Storm Flames, with the power of disintegration; he's very quick, and surprisingly strong; and if you can get him to cooperate, you can turn him into a weapon (Which I've told you about before):

G.'s Archery. I'll PM its appearance to you, in text form; the actual image won't do.

Unless you'd like to assume the appearance of Gokudera Hayato.

He is a smexy bishie.

[ Tournament: ]

Wekiga: *Smirks down at the little Storm Lion* Leone di Tempesta...How cute.

*He launches several streams of magenta plasma, attempting to form a cage in order to trap Fedele*

Wekiga: I wonder if your Storm Flames can beat this otherworldly plasma, hm?

---

Makoto: *Smiles at Nadle* Sure thing.

*Drawing the ikupasuy and invoking Kororo, Makoto begins releasing titanic amounts of furyoku*

Makoto: I wanted to save stuff this until the final round...But let's skip straight to the full-swing combat!!

*An explosion of freezing mist surrounds her, as the OverSoul is formed*

*Finally, the mist begins to fall - Revealing Makoto's OverSoul*

Makoto: *Smiles cutely* O.S.: Nipopo Gauntlets.

*This OverSoul consists of two gigantic, ice armor gloves, starting on her biceps and extending so far that she must keep the fingers bent so as not to dig through the dirt*

Makoto: *Abruptly leaps high into the air, despite the massive gauntlets* Left Husband: Frigid Straight!!

*With her left fist, she throws a jab wrapped in freezing energy downward*

[ Training Arena: ]

*Shroom looks around, rubbing his eyes and smiling slightly*

Shroom: Well, in the first few seconds of the fight he has managed to even the odds...

*Shroom begins to try to make a plan, one hand to his forehead*

Shroom: *Whispers to Zev* This may sound like the most obvious thing in the world, but I think our aim here is to not get hit. At all.

*He looks over at his opponents, then back at Zev again*

Shroom: I reckon we should slowly chip away at each one, that should work, shouldn't it?

*He gets out a summon coin*

Shroom: We can still summon things, can't we?

*Notices Asbana*

Praepositus: Plan of attack? I suppose I can ask once we begin, see you in so long.

*He leaves to go and recuperate.*

Xigneo: I am Xigneo, One of the last of an ancient race! Who is this that stands before me?

OOS: Sorry Klak, the way you wrote that, there was no way for me to know you were addressing Namine
And Zev, Showing me the picture will suffice, but Ynot stays Ynot. No matter how 'Smexy' this person may be.

Namine: You...you are the one known as Klak, yes? I need to be trained in the ways of the Keyblade. Can you assist me in this endeavor? I was informed you could.
----

*Fedele nods and leaps onto Ynot's Shoulder, evading the Flames*

Ynot: So Do I have your Trust?

*Fedele slaps him with his tail*

Ynot: I'll take that as a no...but you will work with me?

*Fedel nods*

Ynot: Okay then *Sheathes KOS* No need to double team the power. How you want to do this?

*Fedele is at Wekiga's feet, which are promptly put into the air with a swipe of his tail*

Ynot: I see, you are quite the fast little devil, aren't you?

*Fedele spurts a couple blasts of his Storm Flames, missing Wekiga horribly, but hitting a few passing ships, disintegrating them*

Ynot: Talented too...

*Fedele returns to Ynot's shoulder*
----

Sasuken: I would expect nothing less from a rival of Ynot's.

*Makes an electro-magnetic barrier around himself, shielding him from the Bolts and balls*

Sasuken: So, tell me, What brings you back around?

*Starts the sphere gyrating, ramming Malygos with it*

[ Tournament: ]

*Swept off his feet, Wekiga hangs in the air*

Wekiga: How cute. You believed you could defeat a Lord of Demons and General of Nightmares with a sweepkick.

*Levitating downward, he suddenly begins to emanate a swirling darkness*

Wekiga: You see, I've found that it isn't wise to use merely one face for all of time. This is my "true" form...Unfortunately, as with all mortal shells, I will die eventually. Normally, each body has a two-thousand year lifespan. At the end, I must rest for five-thousand years.

*His form begins to change with sickening squelches, obscured by the darkness around him*

Wekiga: The fact of the matter is, the strength of my bodies peaks and falls over time. Under normal circumstances, I would reincarnate with no memories. However, I have done what many can only dream of.

*He chuckles, voice retaining its accent, but becoming much deeper*

Wekiga: I have ventured through the Naraku Realm, the Realm of Demons. I have defeated the seventy-five demon generals. In doing so, I have earned a contract with Taizan Fukun. Through his granted power, I am able to negotiate the terms of my reincarnations and retain full recall of my past lives. All of this aside, why should you care? You're wondering why I must blather so. You're wondering if I really know. You're wondering if I think Fedele is cute. I think so. To the former matter, I also know so.

*Emerging from the darkness, he reveals his new form*


Wekiga: ...As the final clause of the contract, I may temporarily revert to a previous form, in exchange for my current body living for less time and spending more time in the Underworld. Prepare to fight my last incarnation, Batoh Nyorai - More powerful than I am now.

*Darting in, he swings his axe towards Ynot with incredible power*

...

[ Training Arena: ]

Asabana: Yeah, you can summon... *Ulp*

Zev: I'm afraid we can't just target one at a time...The other two will easily circumvent an attack on one.

*Raising the Sacred Rock Knife, he forms the O.S.: Jingi*

Zev: I'm not sure of this O.S.'s full capabilities...But don't get separated. Our best chance is to keep close.

*He focuses on the panels floating around his waist, sending three to orbit Shroom*

Zev: ...Cool. Didn't know I could do that.

[ Restaurant: ]

Vi: You ready to go, Yuuka?

Wisp: *Hovers nearby, yawning a bit*

Dorothy: *Stands near the group*

[ Training area: ]


*Shroom thrusts the coin into the air*

Shroom: Summon Narvaardian fighting dragon!

*A golden dragon is summoned, balancing on its hind legs and with its front claws out, sort of like a slimmer version of the welsh dragon on the flag, the dragon is about the same height as Shroom, however*

Shroom: These things are pretty much the reason that almost no one goes to Naarvarda. They don't really need wings because they catch their prey by fighting it to death. Anyone stupid enough to go to Naarvarda will probably be killed by one of these things... Even the best martial arts masters have claimed to be able to kill one of these things, and they all died.

*The dragon goes into a fighting stance, its claws in front of its head, hissing slightly*

Shroom: *Whispers to Zev* I reckon we should use it as a sort of tank, it doesn't go down too easily.

[ Restaurant: ]

*Yuuka stretches, following the group*

Yuuka: Yup!

*Ynot ducks and rolls through the attack*

Ynot: Fedele, you picked one hell of a time to make me earn your trust...

*Ynot desperately wants to draw KOS, but restrains himself*

Ynot: You talk a big game. But I'm pretty noteworthy in the History books as well. You already know my name, but now you shall hear my STORY. I am former Makuta Ynot. I say former for I have ascended to a Hyper dimensional being now. I was once the lowest Makuta in the lot, but I have risen through the ranks and defeated all who stood against me. My last foe was Makuta Blackout, who has terrorized the Multiverse for about as long as my tale is. I have encountered, conquered and Tamed my Hollow self, and in doing so, have mastered my Zanpakuto to beyond Bankai. I have befriended many, and have even breached the fourth wall. My Nobody has tried my patience and fallen for it, as has my Shattered Mirror Counterpart. I have become a GOD, and laid it's power aside. When you face Me, know full well: You are in for the fight of your life. You are a FOOL. As My legend began BEFORE the twelfth century.

*He slouches a little and scratches his head with his hand, and his ankle with his other foot*

Ynot: But there is no reason for we can't be civil about this. You know as well as I that When a warrior uses his full power, his tale is at an end. My tale will continue for quite a while.

*He is behind Wekiga*

Ynot: So, you really want to go all out?

*Slams his head with the ball of hiss foot, keeping his hands in his pocket, and creating a huge crater*

Ynot: Go ahead, do as you please. I will only be using a fraction of my normal abilities.

*Malygos sends a wave of force in the opposite direction, stopping the spin.*

Malygos: Not much.

*Malygos then shatters the barrier with shadow energy*

Malygos: Just wanted to show off a couple new things I've learned. General boredom, too.

*Dark energy seeps out from Malygos, forming itself into a giant black wing.*

Malygos: Such as the externalization of 50% of my darkness energy.

*Malygos follows that remark up by unleashing a large, focused blast of darkness, followed up by spreading his wing*

Malygos: Havoc Wing.

*A massive pulse of energy is thrown out of the wing, attacking Sasuken's mind directly.

*Sasuken uses twin electric jets to keep him in the arena*

Sasuken: Obviously you don't remember who I am. As the Son of the TRUE leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta, I have long since conditioned myself against Mental attacks and Shadow abilities! Now, let's see you handle this...

*Sasuken mirrors Malygos, creating an electric wing, and a 50 foot long sword of pure static power emanates from his arm, same side as the wing*

Sasuken: Static angel...

*Stabs Malygos with the sword*

[ Tournament: ]

*A chuckling emerges*

Batoh/Wekiga: *The back of head is nicked and blood runs down his neck* How foolish.

*He performs a blink-and-you'll-miss-it dash past, swinging both weapons outward across his chest*

Batoh/Wekiga: I am Wekiga, a demon spawn who likes tea and wants to regain his full power. I am Batoh Nyorai, a monk of darkness and chaos who taught many civilizations the fighting arts of demons, so as to slay demons. I am Ging-Ging-Jhugo, a giant warrior who swore to fight as a demon for his country, but if someone made an attack on him alone, he would not fight back at all. I am Gherr'gol, a long-lost priest of the crustaceans who worship Old Gods and cluster at their idols for sustenance. I am a wispy brain whose name cannot be pronounced in mortal tongues.

*Turning, all three eyes gaze at Ynot coldly*

Batoh/Wekiga: I am Wekiga, the greatest general of Lord Void, the Nightmare Lord of Wrath. You speak of what amazing things you've done with one lifetime...I've done great things over more than ten lifetimes, and I don't know whether I've ever gotten anything out of it, or whether I just do it for some masochist high when I must leave behind the friends I've made, families I've started. But enough talk.

*Leaping in, he swings both weapons towards Ynot from above and to the left*

...

[ Training Arena: ]

Zev: *Nods at the dragon* Impressive...Stay behind my advance. Trust me.

*He leaps forward, abruptly slamming both plates of shoulder armor together before him*

*Just in time, as Imari unleashes a massive claw slash across the armor*

Zev: *Opens the armor, slashing outward* Urk!! *Abruptly dodges back*

Imari: *Snaps at him swiftly, before dancing backwards*

Shigaraki: *Moves closer and at an angle, preparing to bypass Zev*

Mikihisa: *Keeps at a distance, but close enough to enter the fray at any time*

Zev: *Dodges another slash* That battle dragon would be a big help now!!

Imari: *Chuckles* Your movements have improved since last we fought.

Zev: Um. Thank you. *Parries yet another claw slash*

Imari: *Continues darting in and out*

[ Outside the Restaurant: ]

Vi: *Leads the group out, before noticing someone* ...Hm?

*A tanskinned, blonde girl holding a katana stands outside, looking towards the training domes*


???: *Looking over her shoulder, she gazes at the group with unreadable turquoise-colored eyes* ...Hmph.

*As she turns back towards where she was looking, Vi gets a hunch about something*

Vi: ...You wouldn't happen to be looking for Zev, would you?

???: *Twitch* ...As a matter of fact, yes. However, it seems he's sparring, and I don't wish for my presence to interfere.

Vi: ... *Gestures to the Bebop II* You want something to eat?

???: No. *Growwwl* ...I suppose you won't let me go after that, hm?

Vi: *Chuckles* Nope. We've got a lot of stuff to eat on my ship. And if I can't find something there, we can go looking.

???: ...Thank you very, very much. *Finally turns back to look at her*

Vi: Not a problem. I'm Vi. These are - *Gestures to the others in turn* - Wisp, Yuuka, and Dorothy.

*As they begin walking back to the ship again, the girl looks off expressionlessly*

???: ...My name is Anna. Anna Raregroove.

Vi: It's nice to meet you, Anna.

Wisp: Wisp's happy to meet you! *Smiles, eyes turned yellow*

Dorothy: I look forward to getting to know you.

Anna: ... *Blushes a bit* ...Thank you.

*Ynot takes the blows and his armor doesn't chip though is mask is dented*

Ynot: Long has it been since a blade has pierced my armor. I speak of my life as though it has been a single life time, but I have lived hundreds of millenia. You speak of the sorrow of having to leave your friends and family behind. I know of the sorrow of having my friends turn against me, and my family dead before I knew them. I know the sorrow of having to fight with myself every day. Wekiga, I think I'll show you that sorrow in the best way I know how. Fedele, stand back.

*Fedele scampers a little ways away, and Ynot begins to glow a deep purple*

Ynot: This is my Aura. You are the first to see it in a non combat use.

*The aura expands until it forms a tear drop with a sword through it*

Ynot: I once had to fight for my soul not to become a Kishin egg, That was exactly one thousand years after Claiming my Soul from my Hollow. Would you believe that Death speaks with a child's voice?

*Ynot sticks his arm out and metal forms just under his palm, elongating into a staff, the curving, forming a scythe*

Ynot: To prevent my soul from corrupting into a Kishin egg, I struck a deal with Death, one he issues quite frequently in his land. What I had to do was collect the souls of 99 individuals who already had become Kishin Eggs, and the soul of one Witch. Let me tell you, that witch was a B****.

*Spins the scythe around and slams Wekiga with it*

OOS: HOORAH FOR BACK STORY! I overly exploit 50,00 years afloat, don't I?

[ Training Arena: ]

*The dragon smashes full on at Imari, slashing with its claws with massive force, pulling agro off Zev*

Shroom: Well, it seems to know what it is doing.

*Shroom follows where the dragon has cleared, taking out his shield*

*He is covered with some gold energy, buffing himself*

*Yuuka seems a bit more confident with meeting new people this time*

Yuuka: Hello~! Nice to meet you~!

*She bows slightly and waves with her wing, smiling*

[ Tournament: ]

Wekiga: *Takes the hit, letting his blood splatter*

*He chuckles, grabbing the scythe with one hand to keep Ynot from escaping*

Wekiga: What I would give to live a single day in the bliss of mortal ignorance. Do you know why I am pained?

*He starts to charge massive amounts of rust red fire, his third eye growing wide*

Wekiga: It's not that I felt sorrow at leaving them...It's that I felt no sorrow. It is the awareness that I am empty inside that gnaws at me. I am but a body. I have no heart. I have no true thoughts. Do you know how I think?

*Punching Ynot across the face, his voice starts to increase in volume*

Wekiga: I think in recordings!! I don't even have my original conscious!! I had to rip out the consciousness of a man who saved me and warp it with my dark powers just to form a coherent f##king thought!! Do you know what the only thing I have left from my true self is...!?

*Beams of rust-red energy shoot out to the sides from Wekiga's third eye, as he roars*

Wekiga: A MOTHERF##KING ENGLISH ACCENT!! That's the only hint left to me as to who I was!!

*From his third eye erupts a massive blast of rust-red flames, right towards Ynot*

Wekiga: *Reverts to normal form* ...You speak of the Kishin. Surely, you know of Asura...?

*He chuckles, walking towards Ynot coolly*

Wekiga: ...We have an Asura of our own. He's the Nightmare Lord of Fear. The Asura you know is an avatar of ours. Or vice versa; I personally don't give a damn.

*He prepares to attack Ynot again*

[ Training Arena: ]

Imari: *Darts out of the dragon's range, before leaping back in to sink her fangs into its neck*

*Abruptly, Shroom hears a whistling above him...*

*From above crashes down a gigantic tanuki statue, narrowly missing him*

Shigaraki: *Returns to normal form* Ah, well. I'll get you this time.

*He lunges, attempting to hit Shroom broadside*

[ The Bebop II: ]

*The group sits in a small living room, on a couch and two recliners around a coffee table*

Anna: *Has sat her katana on the table, and hungrily eats some kind of chicken, melted cheese, and noodle stew*

Vi: ... *Waits until she's eaten most of it* So...Are you Zev's other little sister?

Anna: Adoptive little sister, actually. How do you know him?

Vi: *Shrugs* I built a ship for him, and we stayed in touch. I'm glad I did - He's one of my best friends.

Anna: I see... *Goes back to eating, obviously semi-starved*

Dorothy: *Looks to Yuuka* ...May I ask for your help?

*The sword is parried...by a golden shortsword appearing in Malygos's right hand*

Malygos: 50% of my Light energy. And Makuta respond...very badly to Light, if I recall correctly.

*Malygos steps inside Sasuken's guard - the disadvantage to a 50foot long sword is how easy it is to slip past - and stabs straight at Sasuken's chest.*

Malygos: And you are clearly outmatched, Sasuken.

*Ynot takes it all in stride, and begins to laugh*

Ynot: It's funny, the last person to say that got his wish.

*His voice is a little distorted and Wekiga's hand is covered in Bone Dust*

HY: Mortality is a funny thing. Those who have it, wish to discard it, those without crave it's embrace. Perhaps I'll kill you now...NO! GET BACK IN THERE YOU PSYCHOTIC F**K!

*Ynot discards the Bone mask, and regains his composure*

Ynot: Pardon that, Slips out every now and then. Let's cut the chit chat and tango, Salsa, and or waltz if you please.

*Fedele returns to Ynot's shoulder, then bites his hand, turning to solid Bone*

Ynot: What the...?

*Vertabrae grow out of Fedele going up and down, and his body becomes an oval, encasing Ynot's hand, a small jewel caressing it*

Ynot: You're a Bow? Cool, where's your string?

*Blood drips form the top vertabra, and drips to the bottom, forming a string*

OOS: Have to cut this short, will continue it tomorrow

*Nadle forms a shield of pure flames, blocking her frozen attack*

Nadle: "Never underestimate a Makuta's understanding of the elements..."

*he walks in front of a large machine, and suddenly, a room full of Great Beings sitting in chairs, in a large circle, appears*

Makoto: *Leaps away* Fine, then.

*The temperature of the area starts to drop considerably*

Makoto: However, you underestimate me...A shaman understands the spirits, and understands the elements.

*Frost begins to form on the dirt, as she exerts more and more furyoku*

Makoto: I'm going to try a little trick, here. It's called "Ice so cold that the blazes of hell freeze." I'm trying to find the most badass way to word it in the Ainu tongue.

Imari: *Takes the kick, barely flinching*

*She sweeps her tail outward, aiming to trip the battle dragon up*

Shigaraki: *Snaps outward, catching the dagger between his teeth*

*Tossing it away, he leaps up after Shroom*

Zev: *Prepares to attack Mikihisa, only to see he's no longer there* ...Guah!?

*A massive strike impacts his lower back, sending him flying*

Mikihisa: *Lowers foot slightly* You'll have to do better than that, nephew.

Zev: *Moves in quickly, zigzagging from side-to-side*

Mikihisa: Yes, I see...The Raregroove Nokoribiryu. You've become quite good at this style.

*He shifts his right leg back, toe pointed outward, with his left foot forward and toe slightly angled in*

Mikihisa: Confident steps...You scramble your furyoku around so I can't track you... *Raises right fist forward*

*Chuckling, he throws his right elbow up and back while finishing*

Mikihisa: ...But if you're going to alter the style, use your own material. Your father hit me with that trick once, and it never got me again.

Zev: *Tumbles back, swiftly rotating the shoulder armor to support him* Uugh...Damn, Uncle Maki. Nearly dislocated my jaw...I might not be able to eat if you keep up that kind of force!

Mikihisa: *Chuckles* Heh, never thought of that risk. Misaki-nee would ring my neck if you couldn't eat something she fixed for you because of my attacks.

*He suddenly moves in with great speed, starting to flicker back and forth slightly*

Zev: ...Undō-no-Geijutsu: Natsu-no-Arashi?

Mikihisa: *Chuckles again, nearing Zev* Nope. An original technique of mine. *Just one step before reaching Zev, disappears*

Zev: Huh...? That's the exact set up to Natsu-no-Arashi...How is your technique different?

Mikihisa: You'll only understand from first-hand experience. *Voice seems to come from all directions at one time*

*Suddenly, the wind starts to pick up; deep red and orange maple leaves start to swirl*

Mikihisa: Raregroove Doryokuryu Undō-no-Geijutsu: Aki-no-Tatsumaki.

*An incredibly swift shape darts out of the leaves, kicking Zev in the small of his back before disappearing*

*Immediately after, Zev receives a punch to the ribs, a kick to the back of his left knee, and a knife hand to his swordarm before he can even cry out*

Zev: Gh-urrk... *Stumbles, but stomps down to stay upright* ...I realized my mistake, Uncle Maki.

Mikihisa: *From everywhere at once* Yes...You were so focused on keeping Imari and Shigaraki from picking off either you or Shroom, now, you're both in dire straits.

*Another kick is delivered, this time to Zev's chest; then, Mikihisa continues again*

Mikihisa: Zev...You must learn to be decisive. In a real battle, you can never hesitate. What if this was a real fight?

Zev: ... *Keeps silent, letting the assault continue* ...

*However, no more strikes emerge - Only Mikihisa's gentle chiding leaves the leafstorm all around*

Mikihisa: My stupid, carefree, stubborn, honest, loving, genius nephew...There is one thing that you must surmount before you can begin your training.

*The leaves all begin to fade, and the winds slowly subside as he continues*

Mikihisa: You always have this hope - This hope that maybe, just maybe, you won't have to hurt someone. It makes you hesitate at that crucial moment.

*As the leaves all disappear and the winds fade to nothingness, Mikihisa walks up to Zev*

Mikihisa: ...In every fight, you have three core options; they're also called jing, but you were always better with Japanese than Chinese, so ignore that. There is the Positive Road, where you're attacking - The Negative Road, where you're retreating - And the Neutral Road, where you wait.

Zev: *Is kneeling down before Mikihisa, just listening to the older man's words*

Mikihisa: Most of the time, Zev, you go with the full force of the Positive Road, but are fully aware of the right time to take the Negative Road, cut your losses, and retreat. Problem is, you don't know how to take the Neutral Road - Like most of our family, you can't just sit back and wait to see what happens.

*He kneels down as well, looking closely at Zev, before drawing to a close*

Mikihisa: Your greatest problem is that, at many key moments when you need to use your Positive momentum and kill the enemy...Your Neutral side takes over; you want to wait, and see if there's any way to circumvent bloodshed.

Zev: ... *Begins to rise with Mikihisa, looking up at him* ...I think...I get what you're saying.

Mikihisa: *Nods* Just remember...I'm not telling you to kill without thinking. I'm telling you this, so listen very closely:

*He puts a hand on Zev's shoulder, speaking in a voice that sounds curiously reminiscent of Zev's*

Mikihisa: When you've truly come into your own, you'll find out that true victory isn't killing any enemy without pause: It's knowing how to end the fight on your own terms.

Zev: ... *Smiles softly* ...Thank you, uncle. I get what you're trying to tell me, now.

Mikihisa: Good, good. *Left leg gives an incredibly swift flicker upward* Oho! So you can keep up!

Zev: *Smiles, managing to hold back the kick with armor plate on hand* Are you sure your hip isn't going bad, ol' man?

Mikihisa: *Laughs at that* You have all your mother's drive, and all your father's flapping mouth!

*They beging exchanging blows with renewed vigor*

...

[ Viewing Area: ]

Namah: *Blinks* ...Say. That technique that Zev's uncle used...It looks kind of familiar...

Sagihime: It was based on the Undō-no-Geijutsu: Natsu-no-Arashi. That technique boosts speed, but the user then begins shifting their path left and right. This distracts the enemy long enough for them to emit large amounts of furyoku; normally, it allows them to form a quick twister to throw off the enemy, before striking them while they're open.

*A very slight smile begins to appear, as she continues with the explanation*

Sagihime: However, Mikihisa has created an improved technique: Aki-no-Tatsumaki. His technique generates a much more powerful vortex, and forms his trademark autumn maple leaves; or, so I'm told...Regardless, the maple leaves are not merely aesthetic. There are many techniques involving furyoku - And with one of those, Mikihisa can use the 'furyoku leaves' as a solid path to attack the enemy from and then retreat to.

Namah: I see... *Seems to be in very deep thought* ...Yeah...I get it. They move from side to side to get their body used to the rapid direction changes, and to keep the enemy from noticing their furyoku expanding. Then, with their furyoku permeating the area, once the enemy loses sight of them, they can't track their furyoku; plus, the twister keeps them from focusing long enough to use bodily senses.

Sagihime: ... *Looks down at Namah with a curious smirk on her face* ...I appreciate someone who can disassemble a technique like that. I was clueless to this kind of thing at your age.

Namah: *Shrugs* It kind of comes natural...I always saw people doing these kinds of things, so I had to learn how they worked and fast if I wanted to get an edge.

Sagihime: ...Has Misaki-nee met you yet, by any chance? *The machinations can almost be seen forming in her head*

Namah: I'm not sure...I think she said she liked me. She said I'm a lot like her when she was my age - ...No.

Sagihime: You know, though young, you're at a perfect age. You and Zev have a good understanding of each other, you respect each other, you have the bonds forged by fighting together. I think you'd excel at the Bridal Training...

Namah: Miss Sagihime, Zev's Beautiful Aunt, Wise Heron, whatever you want to be called by...Let me say this.

*She glares up at Sagihime, the menace rippling outward from her in waves*

Namah: I'll undergo your training. But you cannot convince me to marry Zev, of all people.

Sagihime: *Chuckles* ...I said the exact same thing about Mikihisa.

Namah: ... *Sighs* I'll bite. How am I even good wife material? I can't cook, I can't clean, I'm not going to do either in the foreseeable future, and if Zev does wrong, I can be so violent to him...

Sagihime: It all depends on your true heart - Something even I can't tell...Only you can find it within yourself.

*She smiles down at Namah with the most warmth shown in her features yet*

Sagihime: But if I may say so...I'd be proud to call you part of the family, and I have not met a young woman yet who I approve of as strongly as I do of you.

Namah: ... *Blushes a bit* ...I appreciate those sentiments...But flattery won't sway me, Heron.

Sagihime: Another trait of Raregroove women, Imp.

Namah: *Grumble* *Grumble* *Grumble*

Vi: *Still sitting with Anna* So...How did you come to be adopted into Zev's family?

Anna: ... *Looks downward* ...My father...Was an old friend of Zev's father. My father was a member of the Patch Tribe, and one of their very strongest warriors. He was tasked with protecting one of the Five Great Elemental Spirits for a time. When father was dying from battle wounds...He had two wishes: That his Spirit Allies train me like they did him...And that I become part of the Glory-Raregroove Family.

*She sighs slightly; not looking sad, but an unusual kind of reminiscence than usually seen in people*

Anna: I was very scared...I never knew my mother, but I knew that the Patch Tribe were usually either feared or persecuted. Plus, from what I'd heard, Zev's family practiced an entirely different kind of shamanism than the Patch Tribe...Zev's family focus on respect and loyalty to their spirits. The Patch Tribe does the same...But we find it important to forge bonds with spirits, like our own family.

Vi: ...I know entirely what you mean. My spirit, Mic, and I are very close...He's not a pet, but he's not a brother, and he's not a best friend either. He's like...All in one, and none of them all the same. *Gives a reminiscent smile* ...He and his original shaman partner taught me how to laugh, honestly.

Anna: *Smiles softly* ...It's nice to meet someone like you. You seemed scary at first, but you're a lot like me...And that's what I found with Zev's family. He and Asabana play and argue like she's an extra sister for him...Grandfather Yohmei would just hold these long conversations with his shikigami...Grandmother Kino always knew what to say to calm spirits...

*She's started to give a slight smile, seeming to become more and more comfortable*

Anna: I'm very, very lucky to have been adopted by them...And my Spirit Allies, they could have easily ascended at my father's death. But...At first, they only taught me because of their duty to him...Then, over time, we all became such close friends with each other.

*Looking up at Vi, a spark of curiosity appears in her turquoise-colored eyes*

Anna: ...That makes me wonder...How did you get to know Mic? You said he and his former shaman partner...Does that mean that his original partner gave him to you?

Vi: ... *Sighs a bit heavily* ...I'll tell you later...But that story of mine can be a downer at some parts.

*Taking a drink of water out of some kind of canteen/bottle, Vi looks back at Anna*

Vi: ...Could you show me your Spirit Allies, if it's okay?

Anna: *Nods* Yes, but I first have to get permission from all of them. *Closes eyes*

Vi: Thanks... *Thinking* All of them? Even for a shaman with multiple spirits, that's a weird way to put it...

*Shrugging, she relaxes and waits*

Ynot: AGH!

*The plasma leaves indentations where they hit*

Ynot: Impressive...Last person that did this much damage was an annoying little Cat fellow. never found out what happened to him...Let's see how you handle this...

Lan: I'm sorry. I couldn't of not let them in, because if I did, they would have shut down the whole station.

[ Training area: ]

Shroom: Well, I never use the same spell twice...

*Shroom looks at the discarded knife with disappointment in his eyes*

*He takes out his shield, and smashes the incoming head of Shigaraki with opposing force*

*The dragon does a cartwheel over the tail, grabbing in with its teeth in the process*

*It throws its head skywards, releasing the tail, attempting to throw the kitsune high into the air*

...

[ Bebop II: ]

Yuuka: To fly?

*She thinks for a moment, trying to put it into words*

Yuuka: It feels like... Freedom...

*Her eyes go all sparkly*

Yuuka: Like... Like the stars are only one wing beat away... It feels like to me as if there is no weight binding me, like I am one with the sky...

*She smiles*

Yuuka: It's hard to explain...

*She has a sudden urge to fly again*

Yuuka: Let me put it this way, it might be my instincts, but every moment I am on the ground, I want to fly. Its quite hard for me to contain myself...

OOS, Shroom: Sorry...

...You're fighting Shigaraki...

...I'm really sorry...

And Klak: Nadle's still fighting Makoto.

[ Tournament: ]

Makoto: *Follows up the icy shockwave with a barrage of ice crystals*

*All the while, she never moves an inch from her spot*

---

Wekiga: GRAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!! *Takes the hit*

*When the attack subsides, both of his arms are missing, and his body is severely damaged*

Wekiga: *Slowly begins to regenerate* Excellent show...My regeneration is starting to slow down.

*He suddenly forces out a new right arm, and places it down on the ground - Spreading a crimson glow*

Wekiga: Carnage Mountain. *Gives a slight wheeze from the exertion*

*The blood-red light seeps into the soil, causing a very slight rumble*

*Without warning, a wave of corrupted soil and rock surges towards Ynot's ball*

Wekiga: Urrgh... *Remains kneeling*

...

[ Training Arena: ]

Shigaraki: *Takes the hit, falling downward*

*Backing up, he moves towards Mikihisa and Zev swiftly*

Imari: *Snarls, raking her back legs' claws savagely across the battle dragon's face*

*Pulling free, she darts towards Mikihisa and Zev as well*

Mikihisa: *Gets in a solid punch to Zev's chest, before leaping back to meet his two spirits*

Zev: *Grunts* Oh, great...Shroom, try to meet up with me!! *Tries to dash towards Shroom*

Imari & Shigaraki: *Give off a pair of bright glows, shifting their forms*

*Once the light fades, it can be seen that they've become exact replicas of Mikihisa*

*Like that, the three dash in after Zev and Shroom*

...

[ The Bebop II: ]

Dorothy: ... *Looks at Yuuka* I completely understand what you mean.

*Looking at the young Harpie with a truly sincere expression, Dorothy continues*

Dorothy: Sometimes...I get a feeling that I know isn't programming, or rational thought. All the same...Usually, when I follow what that feeling is telling me, I usually find that it was right.

*She holds a hand over her left breast, speaking in that same soft, polite tone as always*

Dorothy: That feeling is like...A trembling, in my reactor. I think you'd call it a feeling in your heart...

*Bowing her head to Yuuka, eyes closed, she finishes speaking*

Dorothy: Thank you...That's what I wanted to know. Though, I'd like to ask...

*She looks back up, eyes with a more inquisitive light than before*

Dorothy: ...Would you like to read some books with me?

Anna: ... *Opens her eyes a few minutes later* They've agreed.

Vi: Cool! I'd really like to meet them...Anytime you're ready, I'm ready.

Anna: *Nods* ...Invoke: Father's Gift. *Gives off a few ripples of furyoku*

*Around her, five small spirits begin to form - An eagle on her left shoulder, a bison sitting beside her right foot, a coyote sitting on the couch to her right, a spider clinging to her left hand, and a snake on her lap*


Anna: *Introduces them in the same order* These are Silver Wing, Black Horn, White Tail, Jewelnet, and Banded Rod. Everyone, this is Vi - A good friend of my older brother.

Vi: *Smiles, raising a hand in greeting* Hello. It's a pleasure to meet all of you.

Silver Wing: *Snort* I don't see why we need to present for this. This young woman hardly seems worth the time.

Black Horn: ... *Speaks in an unsure after a long pause* ...I-it's...Very n-nice...To meet you.

White Tail: Hmmm... *Nose twitches* She seems to hold some interesting power as a shaman, inside. *Sniff* *Sniff*

Jewelnet: ... *Turns around to look at Vi, before speaking in a female voice* ...It is a pleasure to meet you, as well.

Banded Rod: *Speaks in a soft female voice* Likewise, it is a pleasure to meet a polite young woman like yourself.

Vi: ... *Looks at each of the spirits* ...While I can tell you have an impressive amount of furyoku...You're using a special technique to manifest all of these spirits at once, correct?

Anna: *Looks slightly surprised* ...Yes, I am. How did you know? Even my brother couldn't figure it out on his own.

Vi: *Shrugs* Well, even if a shaman and spirit are very close, it takes some manner of synchronization to maintain a spirit like that...It's much more difficult to do so for two spirits. To use five spirits at once, it would require a total lack of conscious thought - Running on autopilot, like the Patch under the Patch Song.

Anna: ... *Seems impressed* I haven't met many outside of the Patch Tribe who knew of the Song. But if you've caught on, do you know exactly how I do it...?

*Meanwhile, Anna's Spirit Allies are huddled beside her; muttering and whispering with impressed and shocked tones*

Vi: Well...I'd take it that you're using one of the Glory-Raregroove Family's techniques for controlling furyoku.

Anna: *Blinks* ... *Smiles at her* I really like you...You're well informed, Vi.

Vi: *Smiles* Gathering intel is a passtime, somewhat.

OOS: ...

Spoiler:

*Shroom hops about half a metre into the air, putting his shield below himself and riding it toward Zev, sparks coming out from where the shield rubs the ground*

*He hops again, taking the shield from his feet and landing next to Zev*

Shroom: Doppelgangers... Multiple enemies is okay I guess.

*Shroom pulls out not a sword, but a second shield, and whereas the first one is red and bladed, this one is blue and pulsating with cyan energy*

*He smashes them together, making a metal gonging sound*

Shroom: I'm ready.

...

*The dragon shrugs off the slash to its face, growling; knowing it is no longer needed, it deteriorates into a fine gold dust and returns to Shroom's summon coin*

...

[ The Bebop II: ]

*Yuuka immediately looks embarrassed*

Yuuka: I can't read very well... At all...

*She gives submissive a look to Dorothy, looking cuter than normal*

Yuuka: Do... Do you think you can teach me?
