DofG Tournament Semi's One {Event Thread}

[JiMmIyZ - Hel]

Tournament Semi's 1

The first semifinal stage for the tournament. Reserved for winning contestants Shouta Onigami and Myata Kazatsa Kazeraikou, it features a dirty field one-hundred and fifty meters by seventy-five meters elevated fifty meters above the ground and surrounded by stone spectator stands elevated sixty meters above the ground. The ground is loose but it's capable of being moved upon with relative ease and no fear of slipping unless pushed by a heavy force. Earth jutsu works especially well here as a result however Wind jutsu takes the cake as large gusts naturally pick up a great deal of dust adding to the technique.

Both opponents would appear before each other at opposite sides of the field. They would find their wounds some how healed, they would find their energy levels somehow restored. By the power of Sopuna, the Goddess of Governance, she restored their abilities to ensure a clean and fair fight. A fight for the Gods.

Myata emerged from the portal with more grace than before, to ironic applause from her dark passengers.

She bore the same equipment as previously - sword, shield, gauntlets, greaves, and goggles. Nothing else would help here. The arena of the gods was a place where only power, technique, and cunning would suffice. Little purpose to gadgetry.

Goggles firmly upon her eyes and sword at the ready, she awaited death.

Hers? Her foe's? It wasn't important.

[The Creator]

Shouta stepped from the threshold onto an uneven earth. His mind, which had been shaking from the embattled cries of torment, was now eerily silent. His exhaustion, which had been sagging at him, had vanished. The soreness that had strained his ligaments had relaxed into a state of calm. But this did not ease his suffering. Shouta suddenly became alert, his instincts crying out in a frightened revulsion, and a mild panic quickened the pace of his beating heart. Dilated pupils first took in the floor on which he stepped. It was an automatic response to the first sensory input that entered his thoughts, and he examined it. He reached down to touch it: solid, but potentially dangerous. It seemed to be made of a fine earth, coated in dust. Beyond his gloved hand was a deep shadow cutting the arena in two. He raised his head to look around, noting the empty stadium-like surroundings that encapsulated the raised platform. Up above, unbounded, was cloudless sky.

Next was the woman that was standing across from him, his supposed opponent. Immediately Shouta began to make assumptions about her combat style. Other men might consider her to be attractive, which is what he immediately noticed, but she was neither large nor tall and therefore physically unsuited for a martial career in taijutsu. Her garb was rather immaculate, so it seemed, so it is likely she came from a sheltered background and did not have a tendency to be violent.

But she's here. So she's killed someone.

Yes, not to underestimate her. It is very likely that her innocent look was but a facade. One Shouta would not be drawn into. Perhaps if he let her make the first move, he could determine what makes her so dangerous. For now, he would only stand, waiting. He slowly took the pack from his shoulders, mentally making a note of what was inside. Inside was a 6-inch Length Flashlight, three surveillance spikes, twenty-nine small tracers, two wireless radios, a complicated electronic compass, a 20-piece lock pick set, a comic book [Adventures of Bat-Man! #42], a reference book [Black Dragons, Ruminations on Accursed Drakes and Dragons], and finally an old dictionary [Abyssal Lexicon, Ver. IX]. Very little of that would be helpful here, unless, perhaps, she would rather read a comic before they fought to the death.

Tournament Semi's 1

A deathly pressure would build from above as a hint of blood lust would sweep the air. For a mere moment, the stands that seemed empty would appear to have a sparsely occupied audience of ghostly specters. A fleeting visual, the feeling of pressure above would fade as would the ghostly figures watching the duel unfold. Someone, something, somewhere was watching this battle, beings not those of the gods. The interest of the humans had caught the attention of many unworldly beings. The battles were beginning to strike fear into demons who thought humans nothing, only now were they realising the humans great potential.

Nonetheless the battle was to go on and the great Sopuna's call came a harrowing through. Fight!

Her opponent appeared. Too hard to make out the details, nearly two hundred meters off. It was a short creature, shrouded in fabric and wearing some angular mask. She couldn't determine anything like this.

She would have to approach. Even were she to recklessly run at top speed, given her power level and lack of physical inclination she wouldn't be able to cover more than fifty meters ground. And considering she had no idea of her opponent's age and gender, let alone their capabilities, it only made sense not to act with such aggression yet.

Because of this caution, she would walk forward only, though with purpose enough to grant some degree of alacrity. By the end of six seconds, it was conceivable that she might have crossed as much as thirty meters distance. Still quite a lot to go, but if her foe also approached then she might be able to get a better look.

That was not to say that she would be completely inactive during her approach. Indeed, for she would sing softly to herself with her empty hand placed over her heart, songs of heroism and encouragement, and songs of an afterlife which rewarded temperance. To be human was to be fallible, but even so, to be good was to make an effort. She knew not her opponent's afterlife, but for herself, she prayed for Elysium.

These songs were laced with the essence of magic, and would enhance her capabilities somewhat, as her very mind deceived itself into a belief beyond the norm, while in a single eyeblink her eyes would shift from azure to stormy emerald. Her song would go unfinished within the span of six seconds, extending somewhat beyond that point, but until each verse was completed she would reap no benefits.

Name: Enchanting Melody
Rank: C, B, A [190 TP (7xC, 2xB Learned)]
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: Allows the user to use a ninjutsu or genjutsu with singing or an instrument as a medium.
Special: Applies to Katon, Doton, Suiton, Raiton, Fuuton, Mokuton, Phantasm, Pattern, Enchantment
Drawback: Must be learned multiple times.
Description: This technique allows the user to use a release ninjutsu or genjutsu with their voice or instrument as a medium as opposed to hand seals. The amount of time and chakra needed to use the technique remains the same as normal, this allows only a different medium. This technique must be learned for each perception/release the user wishes to use. A C ranked releases would require C rank of this technique. A B rank release would require B rank of this technique, and so on. Which techniques of the release/perception can be used are dependent on the users skill rank in singing/instruments.
Novice - E and D rank techniques.
Average - C rank techniques.
Advanced - B rank techniques.
Expert - A rank techniques.
Master - S rank techniques.

O-Dai Ryuugan (Honorable Dragon Eye)
Rank: "A" [90 TP]
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The power of the Ryuugan Doujutsu is unleashed, allowing the user to see the elements of Lightning, Air, and Water up to a certain distance and increase general seeing distance of one's eyes.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Cannot see out of natural line of sight, takes a negligible amount of Chakra to maintain. Cannot pierce Genjutsu.
Description: The final stage of the Kazeraikou Doujutsu forces a temporary change of the user's eyes. The iris and pupil of the eye become one and change to a color decided at the first awakening depending on their mood. The color is like a cloud and swirls around the user's eye when looking around. Small lines of white will flash across the eyes like lightning bolts and continually do so as long as the eye is active. The glowing continues and on top allows for the eyes to slightly even light up in their respective color. With the Final stage of the Ryuugan Doujutsu unleashed, it allows the user to see the elements of Lightning, Air, and Water within one's viewing parameters. One's natural sight is also enhanced giving the capability of 8x zoom capabilities. The user sees the elements as three new, vibrant, and opaque colors that mesh perfectly with their normal vision, giving the user the ability to see the three elements without hindering their normal vision in the slightest. Of course normal vision can hinder this special sight, as the user cannot see through walls or other things as normal. Once the user reaches C Rank they no longer have to do handseals to activate the eyes.
Limit: Must be a Kazeraikou, must have Raiton, Fuuton, Suiton releases. Must have Ryuugan

PMing Jimmiyz with aforementioned unfinished jutsu as evidence.

[The Creator]

The gulf of space that enveloped the distance between the two was acknowledged by his opponent. Among the first of her decisions was to begin walking forward. But to Onigami, distance was not given the respect it truly deserved. With a bright flash of Tasukeru, his opponent leaped in front of him, going from standing at one hundred meters distance to hardly a meter away. He watched her take careful steps forward, stringing handseals all the way. Shouta watched the handseals and knew that he did not recognize them. They were not likely to be ninjutsu as he saw no proof in any manifestation of the elements that surrounded them. There was no wind to hint at the use of Fuuton nor no fire to hint at the use of Katon. It was more than likely that these were bloodlimit techniques, foreign to him, or genjutsu, just as foreign. However, Shouta knew a little of the nature of bloodlimit techniques in that they often changed the self. Shouta's own bloodlimit techniques could create protective barriers around himself (while his bloodline-ninjutsu techniques were a little more offensive) and so he considered that other bloodline techniques (non-ninjutsu techniques; doujutsu and similar techs) could center around the self. The third option was genjutsu, but as Shouta looked around, he could see no illusions. He then concluded that she was performing bloodline techniques. This was made apparent when her eyes shifted color: her iris and pupil became one color.

Shouta noted two responses to this. He could either walk forward to greet her, which would put him on the offensive a little before he was ready, or wait for her to come to him, which would give him some advantage to set up but he would sacrifice the space he needed to be able to fight fairly. So Shouta decided that he would walk very carefully, not covering the full distance that his opponent did, but rather only cover about thirty meters (in the six seconds in which he walked). Still at seventy meters distance from his opponent (assuming that you traveled 50 in your post. It was a little unclear as you said "no more than fifty" so I'm going to assume that you traveled 50 and not an unsaid number below that).

He immediately decided to play his strongest cards. That would force her to play her own trump cards and with both hands clearly in play, Shouta had no doubt that he would be the one to develop a successful plan to beat the other. Bringing his hands together, he would begin to perform handseals only slightly quicker than what his opponent had been able to perform, putting ten together to substantiate a S-Level technique. Shouta's chakra burned from within him as it cascaded out of his tenketsu, stripping away his energy it left, burying itself in the soft ground beneath it. The stage would rumble as the earth beneath it shifted and all at once, giant hands would appear. Rising, zombie-like from out of the arena, the hands groped and turned down to plant themselves, palm-side down, on the earth. Pulling itself up, giant arms appeared next and suddenly the head of an earthen giant revealed itself. It's stone-like visage hid any sort of emotion as it's shoulders appeared out of the earth. Part by part the giant emerged from the earth, until finally it stood above the opponent, eighty feet tall, with Shouta atop it's head, riding it as if he were a mount.

Shouta held on to the giant, digging his hands into the earthen head for support, until he was finally fully emerged. Performing more handseals, he had no intention of letting the opponent live to see his trump card for much longer.

You've saved me once before, I call on you again, Bedrock Coffin!

Normally such a distance would be out of range for any techniques that Shouta possessed in his arsenal but it was now the Giant who was performing the techniques, not Shouta, and thus his range had increased fourteen-fold. The size of his techniques, too had increased in the same increment, and Shouta now knew that Bedrock Coffin was completely inescapable. But, as a precaution, he knew a better way.

Eight handseals he and the golem would perform before they slammed their right palm to the ground. The arena would shift suddenly. Multiplied in magnitude, the arena would shift suddenly. The ground that had supported it, the sizable earth of perfect composure on which the arena had been erected, would suddenly turn to swamp. Shouta's ability would begin to erode the earth away, turning all that could be seen (14*40 meters diameter, 14*10 meters deep) into swamp that was impossible to cover. Much like quicksand, Shouta knew that both he and his opponent would be trapped. He would have to work quickly.

His opponent would try to jump, that was obvious. But Shouta would be quick. Immediately after slamming the right palm into the ground, even before the land had begun to turn to swamp, he would begin another set of eight blazing handseals (I can perform 78 in 6 seconds for an idea in how fast they are). The land would begin to shake and if his opponent had not cleared herself from the ground, she would find herself off balance due to the multiplication in magnification from the Golem's chakra. Shouta knew that he was burning chakra quickly, but he also knew that if he killed his opponent here, it would not matter.

Six giant walls would erupt from the ground, (it can be interpreted that these walls are anywhere from 84 to 100 feet tall), completely surrounding the opponent. Due to the radius of this technique and the speed at which it was completed, it was all but impossible for her not to be trapped within it. A final wall would burst from the ground and attempt to wrap around her, large and thick, tentacle-like in nature, so as to further impede her ability to escape. Not waiting for the tentacle to grab her, two boulder-halves that had been erected at the same time as the walls would begin to close in at magnificent speed. Anything within the six walls that had not escaped in that split-second or so would be crushed and, very likely, fatally wounded.

Tasukeru (Seeing Life)
Rank: C, B, A, S (x2)
Skill: Doujutsu
Effect: Allows a full three hundred and sixty (360) degree field of vision and some predictability to physical attacks. Unlike Byakugan, the user sees life in its normal colors during this tech, no details spared. Signs of life, thermal readings and X Ray vision is near perfect. Can also read a determine the difference of a regular shinobi to that of one with a bloodline or if they house any foreign presence by the different chakra waves displayed when observed through Tasukeru. This does not mean one knows the BL right away. Must have encountered the BL before in order to know exactly who they are. The ‘C’ ranked version grants the user up to 50 meters of observing. Each new rank for the Jutsu will add 50 more meters. This can be trained multiple times after all the ranks are achieved in order to add 50 meters onto one’s total. Each extra training is worth an S ranked training.
Special: Although one is born with this jutsu, one must activate the eyes through training.
Drawback: Heavy chakra drain over time, especially when multiple phases of the Tasukeru are accessed. While Taijutsu can be predicted, the Onigami are not designed to have fast twitch muscles. As such, perfect blocking simply won’t happen all the time.
Description: Summoned through will, the scarlet eyes of the Onigami will grow a very vibrant neon red and all life becomes theirs to fully observe. Once activated, the user has a three hundred and sixty (360) degree field of vision, as well as the ability to see into other people’s bloods. For those allied to an Onigami, this jutsu is revered for making the Onigami known as the ultimate scouts.
Limit: Must be part of the Onigami BL.

Dairasshu no Bunshin (Great Lash Clone)
Rank: "S" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates an 80 foot tall earthen replica of the user which can be controlled by the user. The golem is capable of using techniques if the user performs the required handseals for the technique, but for an additional chakra expenditure.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: The user is incapable of using any techniques beyond Doton-based techniques for five turns, or while the technique is active, whichever is longer. The user must be careful on where they use this technique, for using it in cramped places could result in massive destruction. Drains a "D" Rank amount of chakra per turn that the creature is active. The user must keep physical contact with the golem in order to keep it in existence.
Description: A powerful Earth-based Ninjutsu that is often used to combat against opponents who have powerful summoning allies. The user, by performing the correct handseals, will channel their chakra into the earth around them. From underneath the user will rise a perfectly proportioned, although 80 feet tall, replica of the user. The golem is controlled by the user's will and can do anything that the user is capable of doing, including having the capability of performing earth-based Ninjutsu. The Earth-based ninjutsu that the golem uses causes the user to expend an additional amount of chakra equivalent to one rank higher than the rank of the jutsu being used by the golem, but it is also proportioned in size to the golem, meaning that the attacks would seem much larger than usual. The golem, which is covered with the user's chakra, requires an "S" rank amount of damage before it will break.
Limit: Must know Ishikyojin Kuchiyose no Jutsu. Must know Mimicry of the Earth. Must have Doton no Jutsu.

Doton: Yomi Numa (Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld)
Rank: "A" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Effect: Creates a swamp underneath the feet of a target. The size of the swamp is dependent upon the user's Ninja Rank.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: Utilizes a grand amount of chakra to perform, as well as chakra to maintain. (25% of the user's chakra to cast, -3% of the user's chakra/round to maintain).
Description: The user performs the required handseals and then, utilizing their right hand, slams that same hand onto the ground. Chakra quickly rushes out of the user's palm into the earth, saturating the Earth in an area effect based upon the user's Ninja Rank with chakra. This chakra does multiple things at once, changing the viscosity of the ground itself, enough to semi-liquidize the dirt into a very thick mud-like substance that makes movement almost impossible. The speed at which this transformation occurs is rapid, and, combined with the huge size of the swamp itself, makes it so that once the opponent is caught within the jutsu, there is no escape for them. In order to prevent the ground from re-solidifying, the user must also continuously put chakra into the ground. Trying to move with this ability in effect is similar to trying to move through quicksand; it only causes you to sink faster.
"C" Rank- If the shinobi casting this ability is a "C" rank Ninja, then this ability only effects an area of up to 10 meters diameter. Is only two meters deep.
"B" Rank- If the shinobi casting this ability is a "B" rank Ninja, then this ability only effects an area of up to 20 meters diameter. Is only five meters deep.
"A" Rank- If the shinobi casting this ability is an "A" Rank Ninja, then this ability only effects an area of up to 40 meters diameter. Is only ten meters deep.
"S" Rank- If the shinobi casting this ability is an "S" Rank Ninja, then this ability only effects an area of up to 80 meters diameter. Is only 20 meters deep.

Limit: Must know the Earth Release

Doton: Ganban Kyuu (Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin)
Rank: "A" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Large pillars of rock shoot up and around the opponent before coming together crushing the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: It is impossible to tell what is going on inside the coffin.
Description: After performing the necessary handseals, the User will utilize the earth element and form a coffin of stone around their opponent, crushing them. After a bit of earth quaking, not enough to throw one off balance, six small walls of earth will burst from the earth in a circle around the opponent and converge trapping them in a coffin. One final but smaller in thickness, wall will wrap around imprisoned opponent, keeping them from escaping. At this point, two halves of a rock/boulder will smash together, completely crushing the opponent. Once the opponent is caught within the walls that rise from the ground, there is no way for them to escape.
Limit: Earth Release

Her song completed, without once having formed any hand seals whatsoever, her mental defenses shored up as her opponent summoned a massive golem of earth. Its features were remarkably human, and in fact she suspected that it might be what her opponent looked like under all that cloth. He was certainly young. Again and again she was forced to combat children. To kill a child was sin. To force one to become a killer was worse. She craved a peaceful resolution, but doubted if her foe would have the fortitude to defy the gods themselves.

As they both had moved forward, the distance between them measured one hundred and fifteen meters now.

Myata did not approach further, as she knew that a construction of that size would be difficult to topple with only a sword, no matter how high quality the sword in question might be.

Limit: Must know Ishikyojin Kuchiyose no Jutsu. Must know Mimicry of the Earth. Must have Doton no Jutsu.

Doton: Yomi Numa (Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld)
Rank: "A" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Effect: Creates a swamp underneath the feet of a target. The size of the swamp is dependent upon the user's Ninja Rank.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: Utilizes a grand amount of chakra to perform, as well as chakra to maintain. (25% of the user's chakra to cast, -3% of the user's chakra/round to maintain).
Description: The user performs the required handseals and then, utilizing their right hand, slams that same hand onto the ground. Chakra quickly rushes out of the user's palm into the earth, saturating the Earth in an area effect based upon the user's Ninja Rank with chakra. This chakra does multiple things at once, changing the viscosity of the ground itself, enough to semi-liquidize the dirt into a very thick mud-like substance that makes movement almost impossible. The speed at which this transformation occurs is rapid, and, combined with the huge size of the swamp itself, makes it so that once the opponent is caught within the jutsu, there is no escape for them. In order to prevent the ground from re-solidifying, the user must also continuously put chakra into the ground. Trying to move with this ability in effect is similar to trying to move through quicksand; it only causes you to sink faster.
"C" Rank- If the shinobi casting this ability is a "C" rank Ninja, then this ability only effects an area of up to 10 meters diameter. Is only two meters deep.
"B" Rank- If the shinobi casting this ability is a "B" rank Ninja, then this ability only effects an area of up to 20 meters diameter. Is only five meters deep.
"A" Rank- If the shinobi casting this ability is an "A" Rank Ninja, then this ability only effects an area of up to 40 meters diameter. Is only ten meters deep.
"S" Rank- If the shinobi casting this ability is an "S" Rank Ninja, then this ability only effects an area of up to 80 meters diameter. Is only 20 meters deep.

Limit: Must know the Earth Release

Doton: Ganban Kyuu (Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin)
Rank: "A" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Large pillars of rock shoot up and around the opponent before coming together crushing the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: It is impossible to tell what is going on inside the coffin.
Description: After performing the necessary handseals, the User will utilize the earth element and form a coffin of stone around their opponent, crushing them. After a bit of earth quaking, not enough to throw one off balance, six small walls of earth will burst from the earth in a circle around the opponent and converge trapping them in a coffin. One final but smaller in thickness, wall will wrap around imprisoned opponent, keeping them from escaping. At this point, two halves of a rock/boulder will smash together, completely crushing the opponent. Once the opponent is caught within the walls that rise from the ground, there is no way for them to escape.
Limit: Earth Release

Instead, she would sheath her blade in the very earth, and leave it there. The earth would remain solid and still beneath her feet, as no technique to change that condition was being performed, while her own hands began to shape into seals.

If she would be unable to bring the golem down, she would bring herself up instead, rising on a fluffy white cloud that formed beneath her feet before rising into the air. This cloud would eventually measure ten meters in every direction including vertically, enough to actually equal and exceed the height of the golem,with painful electrical surges coursing through the interior. At that moment in time, the stage in front of her began to liquefy, becoming a swamplike mass of wetness. This swamp could not possibly extend further than one hundred meters, the absolute range limit for all techniques to exist in this world, leaving a ten meter space between her cloud and the edge of the swamp. As this technique displayed a need to be maintained, the golem continuing to hold its palm on the ground, no further techniques from her opponent would be possible at this time unless he were to halt such in favor of a different strategy.

She would walk now toward the edge of her cloud, just under meters forward. Though the distances involved were still vast, she would attempt to call out, in case perhaps he was able to hear her words. Her spectral companions of course disapproved.

"HEY! CAN YOU HEAR ME!? WE HAVEN'T EVEN INTRODUCED OURSELVES AND YOU'RE ALREADY ATTACKING!? CAN'T WE AT LEAST TRY NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER!? I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU! MY LAST OPPONENT IS ALIVE! I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH HER I SWEAR!"

Skill: Ninjutsu/Supplementary
Effect: Creates a cloud in which the user can use the Kiero-series jutsu.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Combining wind and water elements within both the user's hands and doing the handseals will allow the user to create a cloud in front of the user. Simply waving the user's hands in the direction one wants to go will cause it to move in that direction. Once the user gains the third stage of the eye this cloud gains electrical properties as well. The size of the cloud depends on the rank of the jutsu learned. Once the user gains the O-Dai Ryuugan the cloud is capable of gaining electric capabilities.
•D: 5x5 Meter Cloud

•C: 10x10 Meter Cloud

•B: 20x20 Meter Cloud

•A: 40x40 Meter Cloud

•S: 60x60 Meter Cloud

Rank: "D", "C" [30 TP (2x Learned)]
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplemental
Effect: Allows the user to walk on clouds.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Only capable of using on clouds the user created.
Description: By channeling their unique chakra into the soles of their feet a Kazeraikou is capable of using clouds as much as they could use the ground. By focusing their special chakra and having it come into contact with a cloud that they created the chakra condenses the substance into a semi-liquid state directly around their feet, allowing them to use it like normal water for standing purposes. Drains a D rank amount of chakra each round the user maintains the technique. The C rank version of this tech is learned to walk on clouds with lightning chakra within them.
Limit: Requires Ryuugan and Kumo Soushi (Cloud Creation)

[The Creator]

Shouta, standing atop his massive giant, who's hands now pierced the ground growing more and more unstable, looked up at what was now a cloud solidified from mist into a thicker substance. Atop it, like a stairway, his opponent now climbed, easily avoiding the technique that had drained so much of his energy. She cried out, and Shouta, now becoming exhausted, released his technique, seeing as it had no more effect on her. Possibilities now crumbled within his mind as he watched her easily move herself from the ground into her cloud, protected from the earth technique that had killed his last opponent, as if it was nothing.

"HEY! CAN YOU HEAR ME!?"

Shouta could indeed hear her, and his Golem now knelt as if in pain, his legs sunk into the resolidifying ground. Only his ankles and further up were now visible.

"WE HAVEN'T EVEN INTRODUCED OURSELVES AND YOU'RE ALREADY ATTACKING!? CAN'T WE AT LEAST TRY NOT TO KILL EACH OTHER!? I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU! MY LAST OPPONENT IS ALIVE! I DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH HER I SWEAR!"

The words were that of an innocent and peaceful resolve. Shouta remembered the final cry of his last opponent, one of true fear and helplessness, and although the two were not similar, he could feel the haunting cry of the nukenin pierce through his mind again. With a shattered resolve, Shouta stood up on his Golem, still kneeling, to heed the words of his new opponent. Sweat now poured from his mop of hair into his eyes and mouth, stinging, and he drew deep breaths. His muscles now shook.

"These Gods!" He shouted, with enough force to bring the words to the ear of his opponent some distance from him,

"They do not care! Will shall both die here if we do not heed there wishes. Is it not better for one of us to leave than neither of us? Surely there is some value in the former!"

But, perhaps, he then considered, there might be some value in the latter. What would the Gods do if they both refused to fight, if they both chose death over killing each other? Defiance in the name of their so-called game. They were representatives of Gods fighting for a throne and if they decided to call off the game, what tumultuous proceedings would these Diving Beings now have to use to replenish their contest?

"I have no wish to fight either."

His words would reach his opponent's ear and ring with a truth. His words were becoming shaky and his will to fight was all but broken. Fear had taken him and forced him to fight, a wish to survive, but he was stronger than just an animal based in primal fears, was he not? He wished that he could be. In an instant, with a mind that was very unlike him, he tore his mask from his face so that he could breathe better.

"If we must die here, at least you may look on my face. I did not grant it to he who I had slain, but perhaps, I should have."

Myata frowned. He was right of course. The last round had likely been a fluke.

Her next words were soft, but firm, projecting her voice so that he would understand their tone. "I know. You and me, we'll probably die before this is over. But that doesn't mean we should be forgotten. We should carry the fallen with us, at least as long as to offer them to the one who would fell us. At the end of it all, every life ended should be given the respect it deserves."

Her dark companions writhed in annoyance. Bleeding heart woman. Get killing! Sadly she acknowledged their desires as being in line with her own - life. "My name is Myata Kazeraikou. In the common tongue it means 'mint', like my hair. If you kill me, I wish you the best of luck in the final battle. If not, then I hope you find a good place in the afterlife."

She would await her opponent's response. After that, there could be only the battle. Too much time wasted on talking though. She would need to be on the lookout for further attacks. But her plan for the future was a simple one, and had proven effective in the past. More clouds. They would be no obstacle to her eyes, but could obscure the sight of an opponent. Plus she could imbue them with painful electric shocks.
