Its Time...Stone Village has had enough. (RP)

[Nekomata Minh]

[Enter]


As Junko, exited the tower she had, made her way to the empty elevator so she could leave as soon as possible. Zeki, a long since missed ally would, follow her as she pressed the button to the main floor. As the elevator began its decent Zeki would strike up a seemingly important question while they were alone. The twins are much older now. So as time went by they no longer fear such simple mysteries such as a living rock. 

"Quite the interesting question at a time like this. If you must know, I do not mind neither heights or fast speeds. In fact I quite enjoy them." Junko kept her answer simple and to the point, ditching that playful attitude that she had earlier. Instead she leaned on the right side of the elevator's walls and, tapped her foot impatiently. She had plans to be prepared for these exams, and not a whole lot of time. At least not enough to her...

As the elevator hovered to a stop, a soft bell-like noise would erupt from the sound system signaling they arrived at their stop. The doors would slide open and, Junko would, suddenly dart forward to the main doors of the tower. However before she left she would stop midway of the doorway and, turn her attention to Zeki for a moment. 

"I'd suggest preparing for these exams Zeki. I have been in these before and the test examiners always has some crazy new idea. I'm heading home to take care of important business. I won't be available until the next day so please meet me at the village gates or, send my family a letter if something comes up. We'll regroup soon...I promise." Without warning Junko would, pull her hood forward and, dart out into the falling sunlight onto the rooftops, heading home. She would have to be quick in order to pull her plans off on schedule. She won't deny her fears any longer...

[Nekomata Minh]

It wouldn't be long before Junko would make it home. She could feel the surge of a disturbance in her energy as she got closer. She'd enter the home in a hurry scrambling to find her family. Her father wasn't in the kitchen so he must have been out in the back yard somewhere. She could feel herself slipping a bit. Her mind drifting into a soft haze as her movements were feeling heavy. Soft whispers in her head. It was definitely the madness beckoning her. She would satisfy him soon... 

Junko's physical ability would fail her as she lost footing and, tumbled onto the wall and, had to use her forearm to barely manage keeping upright. She, groaned a bit as the whispers got louder. They spoke a name...no a word...or more clearly words. His hunger was getting restless. He would cause her to faint if he didn't cease his calls. 

Hearing the commotion, one of the twins mother's...Luna would walk into the hallway trying to see what was disturbing the peace. However it would be her undoing to see a weakened daughter being subdued by an old...accomplice if that can even begin to describe it.

"Junko!!" A frightened Luna would cry out as she rushed to her dearest daughter and, grabbed hold of her. She'd move Junko's hand from her face only to see the family birthmarks shifting into the second stage of warning. The madness was definitely creeping in.

Junko, would muster the strength to open her eyes and look at her mother. She would stumble a bit to grab hold of her. "I can't hold it....please...get dad." She'd mutter out weakly. Soon a dim light would, shine on Junko's back and out would fall out the second pure blooded disciple of the  the motherly Mabuki twins that bestowed this on their children. Fumiko Mabuki. She was already out cold seeing that she was in Junko's subconscious. The shock was too great but, all too familiar.  Perhaps they waited too long...

Almost instantaneously Junko would pass out and, go limp into her mother's arms whom set her down gently next to Fumiko. They'd both be transported to a white space of nothing. The disruptions would be over. However there was no way to reach the outside world unless they awoken.

In the real world, Luna had already contacted the rest of the family outside. She, her sister Rina, husband and father of their children Aki would bring both sisters down to the basement and, lay them down parallel on a large table.  Soon enough Uncle Hirobe and brother Toshi would join them to take care of the matter at hand. Hirobe would, quickly gather the needed materials before initiating the Mabuki ritual. A seal would be cast upon them both and, soon enough, in their mental state. A large black door would appear. The doors would open. And the lair to Death himself would be revealed...

[Nekomata Minh]

The sight would be completely staggering. Death himself...He's a lot scarier in the rumors, and stories. Actually quite a jolly fellow once you meet him. Junko found it rather hysterical watching him bounce around from his throne to greet them. His freakishly large white hands were big enough to hug them both if he wanted. Fumiko, was by all means confused. 

"You know it is a shame to think I was afraid of you." Junko would say with a playful smile.

Death would seemingly beam with what one would assume is a smile behind that fixated mask or face of his. "Oh, well there is no time for that now is there? Why you two are Mabukies my dear. That and, descendants of one of my many proud creations. By, the by. How are your mothers doing?" He'd ask rather nicely. 

"They are just fine, Death sir. However I must ask that we move on with the ritual. We have important business we need to take care of in the real world." Fumiko would state, in a soft yet kind voice. 

"Aww, well thats no good. However I do suppose its kind of a bad time, however you two have been keeping me waiting a rather long time you know. Thats quite rude compared to your mothers." He'd say with a disappointed head shake, before beaming with enthusiasm by clamping his large hands and, summoning a giant operation table from the ground, even though; it didn't have anything on it.... 

Junko and Fumiko would begin walking to it until Death would warp in front of them stopping their paths and, holding up two contracts. 

"Ah, ah, ah you two. You know the drill. Sign first, then ritual. And there is no turning back once you sign. So please make sure you confirm you want this before signing." Death would remind in a rather stern voice this time.

The two would stare at the contract and, look at each other for a bit before, deciding together as usual. They would nod at Death and, he would summon two pens for them both. They would take the pens and, sign their names on the line provided. After signing their birthmarks would light up in a bright green aura and, change form once more. This time going into the third and finale stage. The sign of the Pact of Death. The signed names would burn itself  into the paper signaling their permanent involvement and, afterwards the contracts would follow suit and erupt in a green flame in Death's hands. 

"Well, that settles it. I'll get to work now." Death said as he summoned his famous scythe. "Sweet dreams you two." He'd wave at the with his free hand before snapping his fingers. And, like that both sisters were out light a light. 

Using his powers Death would gentle place them both on the table. These action would correspond with the seal placed in the real world. Signaling the ritualist that performed it is clear to let Death take it from here. The haunting deity , would gather the further needed materials such as the very much important blood for this ritual. A delicate use of his supernatural scythe would, kill them temporarily for as long as he needed. At this moment he searched his mind of a new idea of Mabuki creations to protect or terrorize the outside world. With a snap of his fingers he knew what his ancient powers would do. Therefore the following Augmentation would be performed:

The Ritualist creates a concoction, using the flesh of Protean, and injects the blood of Protean into the target of the Ritual. The target of the ritual then makes a Pact with Death himself asking for further power as the blood and flesh overtakes the body of the target. The subject dies and is ritually buried in hallowed ground. After the interment, the Ritualist invokes a prayer to Death asking him to bestow a power of weapon and steel. At the conclusion of the ritual the subject is unburied as life is restored. There are no Type nor Subtype alterations to the target. After the Ritual has been performed the target is able to maintain all of its Bloodlimit Attributes if it has one. It can no longer take any additional Creation Rituals. The Target may learn all techniques in the Mabuki Clan. If the user learns a "Weapon Form" they may "Partially" transform a portion of their anatomy (usually the arm) into a single Non-Chakra Weapon within 1/2 a round. The Limb remains transformed for a number of rounds equal to 3 + Impeccable Will, and cannot change back until the duration ends. User may perform this technique a number of times equal to 5 per Class Level. The transformed limb has all the properties of the Weapon Form, but is considered a Natural Weapon for all purposes. This ritual is ruined if a Raise Dead Ritual is performed on the subject or if the Subject is beheaded before they are brought back as a Demon Weapon. Performing the Ritual leaves the Ritualist weakened for 1d10 days.

[Nekomata Minh]

Both twins would wake, up from their ritual with a full new set of energy. The cat ears and, cat tails were rather weird to live with. But somehow they felt accustomed to them all ready. So at that moment Fumiko and Junko would fuse however for this moment Fumiko would be the one to play host. They would thank everyone at the house and, then set out to finish would they need to do with Zeki. After a much needed stretch Fumiko set out for the gates.
