Of Things Gained [Epic Thread]

Everything was rattling. Panels were starting to burn and fly off the side of the machine as the wires were becoming more and more exposed. Fires were starting to burn and it was clear that the ship wasn't going to make it. The energies seared his body as he pushed through it. He bared his teeth and there was a bright flash of light as he woke up on the ground. Shiki slowly started to push himself up as he looked around. 

"Where-"

Shiki started as he stumbled upwards drawing his sword. 

"Where is the boy?" 

Shiki forced out of his mouth.

Jeremiah looked over at Shiki and then rolled his eyes. "Oh thank you Jeremiah for saving my life even though I'm trying to kill you... Oh no don't mention it Shiki, wasn't a problem at all." Jeremiah said sarcastically as he remained in his smaller animal form.As Shiki spoke more energy from the Scar sparked off and struck at the ground, creating another void of empty space where it clashed with the ground. Jeremiah turned to look at the Scar as it's power caused the nearby area to rumble once again. Jeremiah sighed as Shiki asked about Ryu.

"More than likely he's still in town, fighting Yeshua. Hopefully Deborah would have made it there in time before things had gotten out of control."

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

The Shiki that was booking it on all fours would look up and see the town in eye line. As he looked on he would see a mass of lightning energy converging onto one point and then the town going dark for a moment. After that he would see the blast that looked to be 100m radius, expand from the location, that the lightning was merging into. After that blast had reduced anything in it's path to dust under the strength of it's colossal power. He was only about 300 meters away from the town at this point, so he was able to make out the figures in the center of the destruction.

He would see Deborah standing there in front of Ryu, seemingly protecting him, as her Puppet turned to ash more then likely thanks to the blast that had just happened. In the sky he would see a Heavily armored figure. He didn't realize it yet but this was Yeshua, clad in Deed Breaker Armor.

"Before things get out of control?" Shiki looked at the world slowly fading from existence. "Sure seems in control. Hate to break it to you. But my soul split is with them right now too. You are not touching a hair on that kids head." Shiki kicked a loose rock into the expanding void. Shiki looked at the small wolf and back at the expanding enigma infront of him. 

"Since I've been here, people have kept information from me, betrayed me, lied to me, asked me to risk my life and insulted me to no end. I try to do good, I try to stay away from evil. I work my hands to the bones to take care of my people. But with so many snakes in the grass I don't know who to trust. You sent your wolves after me. Left me to deal with those three demons in the woods, kept vital information from me and had the audacity to insult my love, threaten my pupil and clansmen and insulted my honor on numerous occasions." 

There was no rage to Shiki's voice. 

"I don't however think you are evil. Thus I'm going to close this rift. I'm going to do it my way. But this is it wolf. Try to go behind me or usurp my decisions and I'll show no more chances. I will not let you involve Ryutatsu in this. I'd see a thousand planets die before I let you risk his life and soul in such a way."

"Do what you will boy, it matters not anymore. The Scar is far to chaotic now to use Ryu. There's not chance that he would survive the process. I had resigned myself to watch oblivion fall upon this land." Jeremiah said as he stretched out his body and rolled over unto his back. Her looked up at Shiki and raised an eyebrow before he started to laugh at him... "There you go threatening me again. Threats and ultimatums only work on things you can kill Boy." Jeremiah rolled over and then hoped onto his feet. Her stretched out his body yawned, "Well, what do you suggest? I'm all ears." Jeremiah asked not really caring anymore, Shiki had caused everything to go to hell, he might as well ride it out. It didn't really make a difference to him, either way his journey could end.

"Well. When it comes to hunting monsters. When plans A, B, C, and D don't work. Typically your best bet is to just start waiving a sword around and hope it works. Last time my soul was here part of it needed to enter the scar. Can't see why this would be any different." 

Shiki looked at the tear forming in the world. "I'm gonna jump in it and see what happens." Shiki said with a faint grin on his face.

Jeremiah looked over at the boy and just shock his head. "Well that certainly is a plan. A terrible one, but a plan nonetheless." After hearing Shiki plans the little enthusiasm he had faded away and just laid back down onto the ground. As he laid there he sighed saying, "Well, you can certainly try... bbut you won't see much. Because that energy will literally rip you into nonexistence." Jeremiah pointed at the Scar, and then continued to explain. "The Scar itself isn't a portal, if that was the case My sister wouldn't have any trouble getting her power back, no. the Scar is the result of the make shift spell that me and Naraka performed, they ripped us to literally and figuratively into pieces. To get to the other side, you need to remove the Scar." As he said this the Scar's energy would grow and and arch out once again, strike out at the ground near Shiki.

Thee spot where it made contact would fade into nothingness as quickly as the energy had struck. Jeremiah looked at spot and then back over at Shiki, tilted his head to the side, "Mind if I share a thought?"

"hmm... Whatcha got?" Shiki asked. That kinda ruined his plan.
