Rank: "S"
Type: Nearly Impossible, Colossal, Mystical Beast
Effect:Enormous beast that has a rocky armored plated body. Horns crown its head, and they roam the with an all consuming hunger. Can create a powerful roar, that can stun opponents.
Special: Preparation: ---; Duration: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This enormous beast has rocky, armored plates on its body. Elaborate horns crown its horrific head. Thunder behemoths walk the land as little more than roving appetites, driven by an all-consuming hunger to devour every animal, plant, and even building in sight. They indiscriminately gorge their five seemingly bottomless stomachs on forests and jungles, collapse mine and mountain alike in search of ore, and raze settlements and strongholds for the cowering morsels within. Thunder behemoths are sent out by the gods to destroy wicked cities, raze great temples or monuments that offend divine eyes, and otherwise act as instruments of divine wrath either on the surface of a world or just below it. The days before a thunder behemoth arrives are fraught with minor but unnerving earthquakes, mass exoduses of burrowing animals to the surface, and an unexplained increase in fallen trees and sinkholes. As a movement equal to "S" Rank Jutsu, a thunder behemoth can issue a mighty roar in a 20-meter cone that deals 120 Armour Points of Damage. It also causes creatures to be stunned for 1 round and deafened for 4d6 rounds. (Fortitude DC for half damage). This is a sonic effect. A thunder behemoth can spit rocks from the essentially inexhaustible store in its gizzard. It can spit up to 4 rocks as a movement equal to a "C" Rank Jutsu, with a range 20 meters. A thunder behemoth has five stomachs and can shunt a swallowed victim into any one of them doing 48 Armour Points of Bludgeoning damage and 24 Armour Points of Fire Damage.
Yields: Their gullet may be used to create Sonic creations increasing damage by +12 per 6 Armour Points of Damage.

Type: Thunder Behemoth
Appearance: Same as picture but coursing with static energy.
Background: There are very few creatures on this earth that can remember the time before man. There are even fewer that pay man's emergence into the world any attention. Rather then be defined by the emergence of man, this creature has defined man's emergence. This behemoth is the monster of lore that has been known to destroy entire cities and level mountains. He is known by many names throughout his history. The earth breaker, ground shaker, wall topper. But for this band of adventurers, his name will be of little consequence. For they shall either slay this monster and put it's memory to legend... Or become just another band of misfortunate souls who have crossed path with this beast.

The group would find themselves in defense of a village. Regardless of what reason's they had personally, politically or morally, they all would share one objective. They would need to make sure that this Thunder Behemoth did not move past them. They were the last life line of this village. Their arena would be a large mountain caldera measuring 900 meters in diameter. It would be fitting that this old volcano would be the place where this creature's fate would be tempered. For this creature was born near this very caldera more than 100,000 years ago. 

Though old this creature had only one thought on its mind. The acquisition of food to sate its unending hunger. As it climbed over the caldera and started walking across the rocky volcanic floor, it would put it's massive head towards the ground and inhale. It could smell the village just over the ridge of the caldera. Less than a mile separated this monster from the innocent civilians from the belly of this monster. With each step, this 500-pound monster would shake the very earth as it moved. For now, it seemed that our hero's had gone unnoticed... 

Without further adieu... Let the games begin.

[Ancestor Febrie]

The large behemoth was towering every building in this cursed village. Were she not here, they would have definitely perished since the town guards were no match for it. This time around she wore her traditional darker blue kimono with flower motives in a new light. The Kimono with yellow obi has been recently improved with a few smaller pouches to let her keep a few more kunai at disposal, it allowed her to always keep five special kunai at an easily reachable locations for example inside the sleeves. She has gone through the effort of improving all of her wearable such as kimono, tactical vest, footwear and a cloak with fire-proof padding.

Over her kimono she fashioned a tactical vest capable of holding sixteen pouches with one mysteriously enhanced by a ritual to make it much deeper, for some reason it still appeared the same but could hold of course more items. The vest could fit all sixty of her special kunai, a nice pack of cards also specially marked and fifty-seven senbon. The magically enhanced pouch was cramped with a smoke grenade, twenty more senbon, a gas mask, a rebreather, a map and finally a compass to boot. All these pouches made her look slightly bulked up and so she had a cloak to cover her entire outfit plus a hood over her head meant less people would be able to recognize her.

The cloak could also hold five special kunai which were also wrapped with exploding tags. Now that her figure was somehow masked beneath her white stockings she is wearing a pair of greaves to protect her legs while a pair of armored gauntlet with a left one having been enhanced by shock capable of delivering some lethal lightning after a punch. On her back sat a pretty silver-black war fan with flower motives. After the fan came in a patrol pack storing 10 smoke grenades, 35 exploding tags with force capable splash, bottle of sake, bittermourn and pargen. It also stored a hundred special kunai, those were a bit less accessible than those on her kimono and cloak. All of her kunai were also specially marked by Zuruel and herself and she has marked his.

There were also a few gems located on her necklace that had power such as sphere of law, gem of prescience, gem of the wise, sphere of lyzar, skull of strength, all seeing eye and lightning gem. She had planned on more weapons that wasn't possible in this hurry. She was now entering a wooded area outside Mo with the scroll in hand. The Duchess has contemplated whether to open it or not, if she did and something bad happened around Mo, that would be bad. For a few times she would have to skillfully evade the thick trees until she arrived at what she felt was supposed to be the right place.

What was interesting about this village is all buildings were so tiny compared to others, most houses were just one stories high. Many towns guards were now evacuating the citizens but this big monster could get here before they all do, it was her job to stop it for now even though nobody asked. Sprinting and soon arriving at the caldera a few fanfares signaled her arrival. The Duchess face palmed, right there a few musicians were sitting like it was a concert and starting playing some nice tunes. She stood before the magnificent beast, too big for its own sake.

"Hey, you monster. What have you come here for?" the beast might not be able to hear her yelling. The clouds seem to have gathered around the place, it will be raining shortly she predicted. Since this is a caldera, she stood on a few centimeters of water while being just 35 meters away from the beast.

74 hiraishin charges
All kunai are both marked by me and Zuruel

[Skulking Shinzu]

As Zuruel admired the titanic creature’s menacing figure, his blue hair which shifted to a red tint near the back swayed gently against the warm volcanic wind. For once, his goggles were on his forehead and his gas mask safely strapped to his side as opposed to being worn, leaving the pale skin of his face mostly unobstructed. The same, however, couldn’t be said for the rest of his body which was covered from the neck-below in black fire-resistant clothing. Of course, no one would notice this anyway thanks to the equally fire-resistant dark grey cloak draped over him all the way from his shoulders to the lower half of his legs.

“What a curious day.” He thought to himself as he pat himself down. He confirmed that there were two katana strapped to the left of his waist and one to the right. All three had five explosive tags and a hiraishin-seal hidden away under the wrapping of the hilt. He also ensured that he was wearing his buttbag, which always contained extra gas mask filters, twenty kunai, four smoke grenades, four tear gas canisters, forty explosive tags, ten life water, a B.I.N.G.O book, a map and lastly relevant books on creature lore. “That ritual came in handy.” He smiled to himself. Usually, it’d be impossible for all these items to fit in a single buttbag if not for the strange magic that was applied to it.

This same ritual was also applied to his cloak, giving it the ability to comfortably hold ten kunai on either side of arms reach, an assortment of different grenades and lastly a trollstone and bloodstone kept safely wrapped around cloth. It would be impossible to notice due to the clothing and cloak, but around Zuruel’s neck existed a necklace consisting of a gem of the wise, lightning stone and skull of strength. Thanks to his Kedoin abilities, these gems were semi-fused to his chest, making them impossible to steal. As always, all of Zuruel’s weaponry was tainted in a fresh coating of debilitating poison and fish float. More of these herbs, along with ten deadly nightshade and five cow-wheat doses were also kept hidden away in his buttbag.

“Good.” He told himself. Everything in his mental checklist had been ticked off. “Let the hunt begin.” As he uttered the words, two puppets ahead of him sprung to life. The one on the left (Oni) appeared to be draped in a grey cloak and brandished a katana in two of its four arms. The one on the right (Shiki) seemed to bear a blue and gold motif. Its only equipment appeared to be a large crossbow which it kept primed and aimed at the fast-approaching foe. Both puppets were side by side and about 30 meters away from the behemoth. Zuruel was even further away and controlling them via Chakra strings from a safe distance. Roughly, he was 60 meters behind his puppets, making him 90 meters away from the vile creature draped in a cloak of thunder and destruction.

On top of an extremely large water snake stands a man dressed in white, there you see him on it head with his arms cross over his chest and smiling. Just by glancing at him, you can feel warmth and light. There he’s dress in a large ceremonial robe around himself, underneath is a tactical vest. There’s a small flap on both layers that allow him to slide his wings out when he needs to. However, all these layers are in favor of protection. Over his eyes are anti-flash lenses.

The giant snake slithers across the ground, searching for their target, though it doesn’t take them long. The creature is huge and rival in exact size with Leviathan. It’s rare and unusual for something like that to happen. Below, he quickly finds the Duchess of Mo and Zuruel the assassin of MO. Abumi yells at the creature. Alma takes takes in his surroundings into a mental note, the layout from the trees, the ground, the small hills into his mental memory.

Alma looks into the sky and see the grey clouds. From the looks of it, the clouds will rain soon. This is a bit of a problem for the young blond hair man. If it rains too hard, his flight will be hinder. Though small drops will be fine long he doesn’t stay in extended flight. Alma is about 30 meters away from the large beast and about the same height off the ground to the beast face, though if Leviathan can go much higher. Alma takes a deep breath and shout to the beast.

Alma is a pacifist at heart and hate to hurt monsters unless he have too. “Hey Mr. Uh- Typhon?” Alma make sure he’s loud enough for the beast to hear him. The beast should fall under Alma bewitching power. This natural gift of his will make the creature more friendly towards him. “Could you please go into a different direction? If you go the west, you can find more animals and creature to feast on!”

(ooc if you plan on using your AC please post it's bio <3  Btw... )

Typhoon turned its massive head towards the tiny creatures that were squeaking at him. They were like birds chirping as a predator neared their nest. Annoyed that these tiny things stood in between him and the village. Typhoon turned his eyes onto the massive serpent in front of him. A odd sense of calm would seem to wash over him as he looked into the small animal that was chirping in front of him. Rather then simply want to destroy and devour this massive snake and it's parasites. He would simply just devour them.

With the mentality of that of cattle about to grave on grass. Typhoon would bend his head down and dolefully attempt to devour Alma whole. 


Techs Used

SPOILER: Click to show

A thunder behemoth has five stomachs and can shunt a swallowed victim into any one of them doing 48 Armour Points of Bludgeoning damage and 24 Armour Points of Fire Damage.

[Ancestor Febrie]

The beast had not seen or heard her at all, she got ignored. It'll be better this way. she shrugged and began with buffing herself out. Green chakra manifested around both of her fists, they had the power to heal critical wounds but why would she try to heal herself now that she wasn't even hurt? The Duchess used the technique to mold it into a much more beneficial one, one would say it was an over-heal but all it did was give her more vitality and vigor than originally using her healing hands technique of critical strength the vigor she would gain was immense. Instead of her the beast charged ahead at that giant sea serpent, one that looked just like hers and someone was on it.

Using her power of observation since she was merely five meters away from the snake, very much behind it from its left sides she observed a little man she could identify as a gay looking. He had his robes and all that, reminded her of the guy she bought a fear raven and her sea serpent from. I wonder if it is actually him. further observation revealed a puppeteer also some distance away, his name was definitely Zuruel. She recognized the vibe of her own hiraishin seals on him, perhaps he will feel his on her weapons? Since the behemoth was about to try swallow the man with his snake she needed to move out of this place lest she wanted to be caught in the crossfire. In any likelihood she was attacked, the Duchess was prepared to high tail it to Zuruel's position.

While the ground was soaking with water it was easy for her to skate away on her own using the ice she would push beneath her feet. This way was a good traveling idea, soon she would gain more distance from both combatants, she gained fifteen meters distance left of the sea snake making the Duchess stand twenty meters from the duo in the four seconds travel time. Having stopped her fists would shortly glow in green color once more until she pushed the chakra into herself giving her the effect of healing in case of being mortally wounded or wounded in general that would cause her death. The light green aura would stick with her until she received such a wound or until dispelled.

The Duchess then closed one of her eyes, concentrating heavily on her soul energy and the definition of herself. This manifested a power within her that would speed her up, make her reactions clearer and faster that way. She toughed her chest with the left hand while the right drew out a kunai. Before she runs out of this grace, she will have to make some use of this newfound speed. The kunai in her hands was then released, being a specialist in throwing kunai her throws would easily reach the behemoth. Her special kunai was aimed at the back of this creature, using this they will know just how powerful it is using its reactions.

With a few weaves of handseals she molded the chakra into a translucent looking force armor, the force is strong in this one. The armor was molded to look like a devils cosplay, very intimidating as they say back in the Duchy. It was very capable of giving a moderate protection against attacks and would totally block out any incorporeal souls. It looks like she was surrounded by an aura of mysticism with black fumes raising off her. Using the remainder of her time to prepare another jutsu that would take effect the next round and would summon a few icy clone friends of hers.

Zuruel tilted his head. Somehow, Alma had made himself the sole focus of the titan’s fury. In an attempt to save his worthless ally, he began to move his fingers in a strange rhythm consisting of really abrupt movements. These actions sent signals along the chakra strings and sprung the Kedoins’s two puppets into life. Oni was the first to react. Firstly, it extended its lower set of arms outwards and aimed them at the behemoth approaching Alma. Its hands then twisted by the wrist, the act of which causing a nozzle in its palm to protrude out slightly. It then waited patiently for the beast to approach Alma, leaving only 15 meters between it and the foe.

Before the titan’s jaws could descend upon its prey, one final tug of a chakra string triggered an inner mechanism and caused two very thin and high pressured streams of water to shoot out of Oni’s palms. Boasting enough pressure to slice through boulders as if they were mere butter, Oni aimed both of these jets of fluid at the creature’s eyes in an attempt to blind it or better yet, decapitate part of its face. While all this was going on, Shiki in the meantime had its crossbow primed and ready. Zuruel decided to sync this next attack up with the Duchess. As he spotted her through his puppet’s eyes, he waited until her kunai was thrown. Once it hit its mark, a gentle tug of a chakra string caused Shiki to squeeze down on the crossbow’s trigger.

The resulting motion caused Shiki to fire five arrows simultaneously at the gargantuan creature. If the behemoth was still facing Alma, then all three bolts would be fired at the foe’s face. If it had turned to face the Duchess and left its back exposed, then the arrows would instead strike at the back of its head. “That should do it.” Zuruel thought to himself as he remained in the background, still a good 60 meters directly behind his puppets. While all this was going on, he began to infuse his cells with chakra. Slowly, an extra set of arms began to form directly below the originals. While the upper two continued to maintain control over the two puppets, this new set was immediately put to work and began weaving hand seals to prepare a Jutsu. “I’ve also wanted to try this one out.” He snickered to himself as his hand movements began to blur together. Clearly, a powerful S-rank was approaching.
