The calm wind brushed against the forgotten battlefield as the sun gently peaked int he distant horizon. Stars of twilight began to slowly fade away while being greeted by the morning sun. Gently brushing onward it slithered against the surface of an old torn and faded playing card. A short rustle from the paper item echoed as the hearts upon it began to hum and shine. A few moments the old relic erupted into an brilliant fountain of light as an humanoid shape began to take form. Receiving the call the Chivalrous Gambler returned to this ancient battlefield the instructions embedded into his valiant soul. Gazing onward his eyes laid upon the edge of the river which was 20 meters away. He quickly went over his 9 fully loaded card holsters. One was upon each of his wrists, 3 was upon each side of his hips. the last one was gently strapped upon the side of his left leg near his knee. His finger tips slithered into his buttbag gently scrapping against the 80 ice exploding tags within.

Patiently Ace awaited for his destined opponent wondering if it would be an old rival. Knowing that battle was soon, he gently removed the reading glasses upon the bridge of his nodes before folding them up before placing them into his brown dress vest pocket.

[Aimi Kaguya]

A Challnger Appears...


High up in the sky above the ancient and archaic battlefield, a figure descended. Held aloft by wings invisible to those without the power of their soul within their grasp and to those who could see them, a brilliant pair of sunbrust wings that shone more brilliantly than the sun, the figure fell from the heavens, his golden hair billowing upwards as he fell. This figure wore precious little, a white robe tied around his waist, a pair of goggles on his forehead equipped with thermal and zooming vision lenses, a sword at his waist held there by a belt and two butt bags held against his opposite hip. This was all he wore. Within the butt bags were a set of 10 kunai in total, 30 shuriken, 25 exploding tags, 10 incendiary, 15 locking tags, two separate scrolls and a single fragmentation grenade were all he had with him when he was summoned, all that he'd need really.

Aimi Kaguya, summoned to this place to do battle with some foe, landed on the soft grass of the earth below in a crouched position, his ethereal wings folding in on themselves since they had delivered him safely to the ground and vanishing from all sight as he stood up, his bare feet spreading apart as he stood up tall and looked out over the field that he was to fight upon. Another figure was already present in the dawn dusk as the sun rose ever higher into the sky, a good distance away from him - they must have been close to 85 meters away or so given their proximity to the river cutting through the middle of the field compared to his.

Taking in a deep breath of the morning air, the Kaguya mumbled to himself, "'Welcome to my parlor,' said the spider to the fly..." as he stepped forward, beginning to close the distance between the two of them.

Light blue eyes gazed onward noticing the opponent descending from the sky. He pondered if this foe's strength his mind thinking of the first approach considering the many unknowns. Mentally measuring the distance it seemed it was 85 meters which meant an good amount of wiggle room to figure out the best combat strategy. Rushing onward the Chivalrous Gambler advanced forward attempting to move in 5 meters while not halting his progression. He mentally began to picture and prepare an technique designed to scout while possibly ending the battle on the spot. Conjuring the material from his own vessel, he remained focused upon the opponent his body ready to react to the actions of the other being. If nothing occurred during the progression the card enchanter advanced 5 more meters getting closer to the wide river ahead.

He remained focused upon the target his vast knowledge of chakra methods pondering in his mind. Ace looked for any handseal or chakra signature to pinpoint any technique medium that the opponent could use during the onward rush.

[Aimi Kaguya]

Aimi walked forward. That's all he did. His grey eyes were fixed upon his opponent, the distance between them growing shorter with each step. Upon seeing him, whoever it was began to move closer as well at what must have been a mild jog or a slow run, hard to tell for certain at this distance. That was fine. Aimi enjoyed when someone came at him head on rather than tried some sort of under handed tricks. He responded in kind by picking up the pace and beginning to briskly walk himself, gradually picking up speed until he was matching the mans' speed. All the while, chakra was coursing through his body as he prepared for the battle that was to come within the next handful of seconds, although there was no hand seals. Unless his opponent was able to see the flow of his chakra, he'd have no earthly idea as to what he was doing - except, of course, running to meet him on the field of battle.

As each moment progressed something was off as Ace kept his hidden method set up. His light blue eyes remained upon his opponent keeping his hands in his sight as the target approached handseals were not formed. Pondering about this the Hachidaime Yukikage assumed this individual was not an long distance fighter which at the current distance would give the opponent an clear advantage yet no such actions were formed. The Chivalrous Gambler was confident in his own taijutsu abilities yet it was foolish to go head on without any information while approaching 10 meters to the river at an slight sprint. Considering his options the Yukigakure Relic decided that the best approach could be an very defensive one. Without wasting any more moments, Ace tapped into his chakra network, his radiant energy flowing into the cards lingering in his wrist holsters. Gracefully 100 cards from each holster burst out of their containers floating near their master's hands while he quickly formed an chain of handseals.

Still tapped into his network he brought the chakra to form around his vessel, the pure energy essence shimmering valiantly. Ace smirked as the familiar shimmer and royal etching vaguely displayed upon the chakra armor. Distant memories of allies running into battle beside their beloved king the moral increasing as they remained their hero of old. 200 cards remained floating around their masters hands while he tapped into the metallic steel flowing throughout his vessel. The tone of his skin drastically changed as it become more metalic. With the defensive measures attempted to be in place, he remained patient and aware of the approaching opponent while halting 2 meters away from the rivers shore.

From there the card enchanter flowed an quick burst of chakra outward into 45 out of his 200 floating cards. Elegantly 5 tiny paper humming birds began to take form as 9 card per bird joined together before elegantly being folded into form by invisible hands. Once brought into this world, he give his creations an simple order. Without wasting any moment the paper familiars rushed onward towards the distant opponent rapidly getting closer per second. He was sure the target could deal with them yet he was only after catching an glimps of the stranger's fighting style.

Effect: User creates an advanced form of Chakra Armour capable of instilling fear and morale.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A personal based technique. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 hours per class level. Translucent, ornate armor surrounds the user's form. At the time of performing, the user may reasonably alter its visual appearance including its color, ornamentation, and reducing its translucency (although it never looks fully solid). Lord's Battle Armour provides a +8 armor bonus to Hardness. Since it is made of force, incorporeal creatures cannot bypass it the way they do normal armor. Allies within 10 meters and with line of sight to the user receive a +1 morale bonus to Saves. Additionally, the Lord's Battle Armour may provide a +2 circumstance bonus to Intimidate checks, depending on the visual appearance selected at time of performing.

Koutetsu Katansei (Steel Malleability)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Clan Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: This is the basis technique for conforming and manipulating the Steel within the body.
Special: Must have the same rank of this technique as the rank of Clan techniques that the user wishes to learn.
Drawback: Without this technique, the user is incapable of moving.
Description: A basic understanding of how to utilize chakra in a manner that allows it to seep into the user's steel body and change it. This is the primary basis of all techniques within the Clan, and as such it is a requirement to learn this technique to the same Rank of any Clan technique that the user wishes to obtain. An example would be, if the user wanted to learn a "C" Rank technique, they would need the "C" Rank of this technique. If they wanted to learn an "A" rank Clan technique, they would have to learn the "A" Rank of this technique first.
Limit: Must be a member of the Seitetsu Clan.

Koutetsu no Karada (Steel Body)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary in Weapon Form.
Effect: Determines the durability of the user's Steel Body.
Special: "Hand Seals", supplementary in Weapon Form.
Drawback: The more durable the body is, the less speed that the user has. The speed is of the user is reduced by one Difficulty Class from their current Difficulty Class for every Rank of the technique that the user has active. If at any point the user's Difficulty Class for movements reduces below "D" Rank, they will be considered to have zero movements per turn, unless they are performing the required handseals to obtain a lower Durability.
Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training. When the user has transformed into Weapon Form, they will automatically take the highest rank of this ability in order to state their durability.
Limit: Must have Koutetsu Katansei of the same rank.

Karada Sumiyaka (Body Speed)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Allows the user to learn to move at speeds equivalent to their Difficulty Class.
Special: ---
Drawback: Must learn the technique for every rank of Koutetsu no Karada or else the user will suffer from movement penalties.
Description: This specialized form of training is given to those individuals within the Seitetsu Clan. Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body.
Limit: Must have the corresponding rank of Koutetsu no Karada

[Aimi Kaguya]

Aimi began to sprint towards the river at roughly the same time as his foe, pumping his arms and letting out huffs of breath as he gained and maintained speed, keeping his eyes on the person a head as he closed the distance between them. He couldn't see much from this distance still, roughly 65 meters or so, but it looked like they were making some sort of projectile, as well as doing something to their own body. A long range fighter? Aimi hated long ranged fighters. Still, it wouldn't matter what he did momentarily. Aimi was about to make this battlefield his.

Jumping up into the air high, Aimi flipped his body around (for dramatic flare, of course) and came back down towards the ground, landing on his feet crouched and sending through the ground a series of bones that shot out from his legs and spread rapidly. As he stood up, eyeing the approaching birds, he couldn't help but watch as they disappeared from view as his forest grew, the ivory trees rising up and striking them down from the air should they not be willed to avoid them. Like a large wave, gigantic spikes of bone shot up from out of the ground in all directions all around him, launching up through the dirt several meters tall each, rivaling the size of the actual trees that surrounded their clearing and covering it entirely - all 100 meters covered in a forest of bones. Even the river was torn asunder by his skeletal forest, the spires of marrow rising up out of the water somewhat shorter than their land based counter parts, but tall all the same.

Aimi, meanwhile, simply pulled his goggles down over his head while all of this was happening and weaved a quick series of seals, summoning from the river a black, oily mist that weaved its way through his bony forest and obscured all vision completely. Unless his opponent had some form of eye protection, the oily mist would get into his eyes and temporarily blind him! With this done, Aimi stepped into the nearest spire of bone and merged with it, vanishing from sight and moving through his forest, watching his opponent to see how he reacted to this change in landscape - if he could react at all. The Kaguya's spires could easily impale most with ease; he hoped that it wasn't so easy to defeat this opponent. Otherwise, what would have been the point of being summoned to this realm at all?

Drawback: As long as the bones are out of the body in a forest like form, it slowly begins to take the effect of the Disease as it is needed in order to keep the arm from becoming weak, and then failing.
Description: Bone extends from the Kaguya's legs, reaching into the earth and spreading, growing throughout the ground until it covers a large area of nearly a mile. This almost happens instantly, the hyper-accelerated growth making such a feat even possible, and setting up for the next phase of the maneuver. Bones would then explode from the ground over in a vast radius it covered underneath the ground, spikes that would impale any caught upon them should then not be able to stay high above the forest of sharp spike bones, shaping the landscape. The Kaguya can merge with these bones as well, making them able to travel anywhere within their bone forest almost instantly, allowing them to appear from any angle as long as it is attached to the bone. Deadly and unpredictable, this is the Fifth Dance of the Kaguya. Depending on the user's rank depends on the capability of this technique in radius distance. When the user becomes a "B" Class, Character the user is capable of using this technique within fifty meters of distance.
