Lands of the Damned [Event]

[Necromancer of the West]

Rael wanted to laugh at the insults that sang true, but laughing at such a time would more than likely get himself maimed. The travel from the paths were still charred and malformed, with the sky illuminating with dark, rolling thunder clouds, and lightning dancing and striking one another in the clouds. Grin still in place, he decided to ignore the rest of the crew, save for Sayuri. Whatever made the mark was close, close enough to where Rael would be unable to fight and protect himself. He purposely walked at a slower pace, to allow him to be towards the end of the group, but more towards the middle. His grin faltered for a moment and lapsed into a frown. When Heather mentioned that they were in the first cursed zone, it made sense. The wisp and whispers of a dark aura flared before his eyes.

Bloodlust. That is all he gathered from such putrid aura. Whatever it was it was itching for a fight. A faux grin in place, he badgered, once again, the more violent inclined members of their entourage. "Well well, It looks like you guys are in luck! Something is out to get us and is wanting a good fight." Rael chuckled softly, but still remembering what the swordsman said. He wanted to see the rest of us fight, which did not bode well for Rael. 

When Heather stopped, she seemed more tense than previously. She was staring deeply off in the distance, far enough to where Rael could barely make out appropriate shapes, but he did recognize the aura that was blazing from the entity. Fear. Fear was what Rael was feeling currently. His body nor abilities were suited towards a mass fight, especially with one that he had no element of surprise. With a solemn smile, he began to speak directly to Heather. "I do say, this is rather frightening. I think I shall decline. My abilities are rather limited right now, and I serve better as eyes, foreground knowledge and entertainment! My illusions will have no effect on such beings most likely. I will attempt to help, but I will not be in the way. In other words, do not count on me for fighting." Rael spoke rather bluntly on his lack of power, but anything to stay alive in this cursed land. He slowly walked backwards from the rest of the group, despite knowing such action is considered cowardly.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki faded further into the unknowable areas as he blended in. Between his skin literally matching his surroundings and the shadows that cling to even the area immediately around him. He was nothing more than an blot of darkness near the party. Could be one of their shadows for all anyone knew. But that was the point, and to make observations even harder, he purposely sank into the ground a bit.

Only this Spectre's head was sticking up from the ground, for physical objects were no obstacle at all to him. He was about ready to battle so silence was his watch word. Those with high observation skills and special eyes may see him but even they would have a challenge. For who expects a person to be a head on the ground? Either way though he concentrated his spiritual powers and a miniature version of him appeared. That same miniature vanished as quickly as he appeared as it ran off to hide in its own shadows.

Spectre was busy putting spells on his miniature to make it even more invisible. The final touch was replacing himself with a Mist Clone so the party still thinks he is standing next to them. Once preparations were complete it was time to fight. He hoped the others were prepared for he had sense the overwhelming bloodlust of this Necromancer's Lieutenant. This battle was going to be much different that the Wyrm. The water he used was from the melted snow all around them from that evil creature's own foot steps.

(OOC: So there are Three Kuroki's now.

- 3 Inch Spirit Copy - Hidden nearby

- Mist Clone - Standing where he was standing before

- Original - is now a head on the dirt also fairly well hidden. )

Limit: Water Release

[Wolf of the Falls]

The crimson Axel would come to the crashing electrical zone first ahead of the group and he would search around the area while staying low looking for more of the large mutant tracks from earlier. At a glance he could tell that the creatures that were in command of this area weren't the ones he was looking for their limbs were far to small. With a quiet sigh his black eyes would continue to search for the mutant traveling away from the group in search of a lead

---

The black Axel glanced at Gunnr as she snapped at the two-faced brat and shrugged more annoyed that he was still breathing although he saw the grin on his face slide right off as they were all informed that this was the cursed zone. Well yeah the purple net of lightning and pillars of crimson plasma filling the area looked totally normal. As Rael fell into the middle of the group Axel knew what he was doing and growled low, merely the idea that this shit deserved to be protected by the rest of them fueled his desires to kill him... or maybe...

When they came to stop at the edge of a cliff Axel tilted his head peering out till he saw the group of misshapen beings. This presented an opportunity for him to act, as Rael tried to talk up those of the group that wanted a fight Axel would move his position putting Rael between himself and the cliff. When heather said they needed to cleanse the area of their taint it 'justified' Axel's thoughts a bit more but what really did it were Rael's own words.

Rael outright claimed to be a coward and before he started to move away Axel would surge forward charging into him and hopefully flinging him off the cliff. "Cowards make for good bait." Axel's voice would echo within the group but no further before he jumped off after the pansy. If Gunnr was still on board at this point the dive would give her a great chance to open her wings and grab the currents for altitude while Axel acted as the secondary distraction to the probably screaming Rael. However should his tackle fail he would still play the tank and howl as he made landfall pulling the group of monster's attention to him before starting to run around their flank to draw their attention away from the cliff.

[Not Loki]

Gunnr watched as Axel threw the duplicitous coward off the cliff... good. She would then hop off of his back as he would charge down the side of the cliff. Gunnr would remain on the cliff for now. She wanted to see how this force would move. Her Doujutsu and Judgements where still active so she could see the group in the distance clearly. Axel clearly went out to draw their attention away from the cliff. It would not be wise to charge in just yet, especially when they still held the advantage of the higher ground. It would be better to scout how these things would respond to a perceived threat. From what she could see she had a good idea of who was running the show, but she wanted to make sure.

She would remain at the edge of the cliff looking down at her enemies. She folded her arms as she looked over them, this was going to turn into a bit of a battle. Once that could and would be ended swiftly, once Gunnr had learned all that she needed. She would scope out they enemy thoroughly. Her eyes would lock in on Aktul, any creature near her. This was the one she assumed to be the leader of this band, she wanted to what she she was capable of, how strong she was. Gunnrs would tap her tiny fingers on her arm as she scoped out the enemy before. With any luck, Axel would do his job and draw the attention of most of them away, as she would go to cut off the head of the snake.

"Finally... the chance for actual battle. Not just some vermin extermination." Gunnr would say to herself, as she waited to see this things battle tactics, if she had any. I would be disappointing if she just charged forward blindly like some savage beast.

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.

Post 1 of 3 "Stand Off"

In the course of action, Aktul's four watchful eyes took a sharp gaze when she sensed commotion. Her focus deeply fixated on the lifeforms she spotted. Her entourage soon follower after her as they noticed as well. Although they have been disciplined to not dare decide on their own. Not without her word. They were not making a sweep for life currently. Their formation was not catered for what they did earlier. No. They had bigger and much more important matters to deal with. Which it would prove non-beneficial for those plans to be shifted in an unsatisfactory manner.

That much made Aktul irritated. Why are travelers here? From their frequent research a very obnoxious few even dare bother getting into something. Nor, has the wary human's sent any teams in a long while. It all felt off. Aktul doesn't trust these few bother them to be the only ones. Nor does she expect them to not know of their possible motives. These creatures were here for a reason. Aktul can see right through that. It was with this, that Aktul didn't want to allow for them to gather anything. Not that she would let them live anyway.

Her putrid spiritual energy burning more, as it swelled from the interest in shedding dark justice. Heh...she may not like to admit it. But Rusovia was right to send her on patrol. Who knows what could have happened if she wasn't here... That said there was no question. She needed to be smart about this. Analyze the field. Her side being the most exposing. Not good, but there is suitable cover, and vantage points. The being hopelessly trying to draw more attention than it should, wouldn't get the leg up. No. She shall prove how dangerous a move that is against her legion.

With some untraceable language she ordered her grouping. More so, the Marauders paying attention. She only spoke briefly. Mostly using gestures that pertained to the land, and towards Axel. In turn three of the five Marauders responded. Immediately gathering the only three BloodHounds they had. Charging forth towards Axel if he went through with his distraction. The BloodHounds barking fiercely as they craved to feast on him. Unaware of the augmentation that he is apart of. Regardless the hunt was on. Still Aktul herself didn't not draw any of her weapons. Although her bottom hands were itching to pull a blade from its holster, and draw blood.

Unfortunately her instincts kept her making sure the rest of the Marauders and the Three Executioners prepared themselves. The look she gave them immediately caused them to span out around her covering a 100 diameter circle worth of land on the other side of that gap. Aktul being lined up in the middle, yet still behind them by twenty meters. She wanted to test her theory. Where were the other fleshlings hiding? Glancing from the foreground ahead, to Axel, and then back to the scenery. Something wasn't right. She knows of this. She didn't quite see Heather or Rael depending on if he indeed was pushed into the gap. But in due time she would. And when she does. She isn't going respond with milk and cookies. Believe that...

Heather now with her Tempest in hand. Had her mindset on taking these murderers down. A burning will for vengeance. She felt confident enough to overthrow the balance of power. Take the sun back from the decrepit clouds above. Make a dent in Rusovia's forces and get progress flowing correctly. To her this battle is too important. Nevermind anything else at this point. If nobody else stands up to fight? So be it. They are not worth her time right now. She had a grudge to burn away.

[If Axel indeed pushes Rael and jumps after him]

Heather would be left only responding by shaking her head. She didn't really have the time to deal with those two. In fact she didn't anticipate for neither of them to NOT get back into it in the first place. Which means this isn't a surprise to her. Silently she conjured up her energy. Only giving anyone else around five seconds before she would ready her weapon. Then charging ahead by moving down from the cliff, and onward until she exited the brush. Tense eyes, and a mind hellbent on getting through this battle quickly as she would leap clean over the gap. Landing carefully, before continuing on.

[If Axel doesn't succeed, and only moves on to rush to distract.]

Heather remained unfazed by Axel's actions. Predicting something of this nature to happen eventually. She could only be thankful he at least is making himself useful by trying to make a distraction. Sadly if nobody else chimes in to her question its not much use. At least for a mass ambush. Heather is confident in herself. Extrat help is always good if it works right though. As long as they can rid the Yuki Land of these pests.

"Time to get started" She announced flatly before after that conjuring up her energy. Only giving anyone else around five seconds before she would ready her weapon. Then charging ahead by moving down from the cliff, and onward until she exited the brush Tense eyes, and a mind hellbent on getting through this battle quickly as she would leap clean over the gap. Landing carefully, before continuing on.

Crimson Axel's Search

As it serves, Axel's search will prove a bit disfigured. He really needs to think about these prints if he wants to get anywhere. Since he departed from the area that had Aktul and Heather in. He won't be bothered by excess stragglers. He wasn't too far. But certainly wasn't anywhere to spark any worry. No no, he at this point should find himself entering a mush more woody part of the land.

Dead trees, barely covered trees. And, a slightly shilling wind gust here, and there. The snow getting thicker on this side than what they saw before. He can still see a print here and there though. Leading in a decently traceable pattern. However the further he goes, the more that the scenery starts to get a bit more...off. More broken, and or clawed up. Something angry, or reckless would have to have done this. Tall too. Really, Really tall.

Post 3 of 3 "Always Watching Heather-wazaowski...Always Watching"

From the crystal ball. Dark green eyes that bestow on all. Curious, sweet eyes. One that loves to learn. The mind sitting behind them so great it grants ideas that send chills to those around the user. A shadowed hand softly caressing the crystal all as it flows with energy. Presenting a live motion picture of her followers at work. Words already given, but searing thoughts never ceasing to be made. Sharp carefully manicured black nails slightly grazing against the armrest to a throne made of platinum, gold, and other fine materials. In due time. the shadowed hand, slides down the ball, before capturing it in a green field of energy. Carrying it off its pedestal.

The creature yet to be identified moves the ball closer. Glowing green eyes peering deep into it. But no significant lightning can reveal the face hidden in the darkness. However the figure is most definitely female. Its leg swaying gracefully over the other out of habit most likely. This unidentified female being, held this ball with care and interest. Her voice shall flow much softer in tone, and yet an almost seductively evil backdrop lies hidden behind it. Speaking to her feral disciple despite knowing she isn't there. Although she could be.

"Aktul you are abrasive, but you are smart. How will you fair with the little surprise fate has in store for you?" She asks with great wonder.

Although she is sure she already knows the answer. Her attention although visual still on the images within the crystal ball, mentally she knew of the approaching presence. "Do not be afraid. I am only; observing some minor inquiry." She announced. Finally looking up to the approaching figure.

A knightly creature. Enormous in size as they had to bend down, to avoid running their head piece into the chandelier up above.  The creature stood before the being sitting on the throne fully. Presenting itself in the only well lit spot in the assumed throne room. Its armored body kneeling down. Letting the blade in its hand stand firmly against the floor, as it bowed its head. Its eerie cyan eyes peering at the burning green ones piercing back at it. Maintaining a fearless presentation as it spoke its piece. A deep, powerful voice.

"I present myself, to speak of news. Progress from the convoy sent earlier." The voice said. One that belongs to a male creature no less.

"Oh? And, what of this news interests me?" The shadowed being would respond back curiously.

"All of it. I was told to speak to you directly as it requires your call to investigate further." He would answer.

"Okay. I'm listening..."

[An'ei Sekitan]

Houkou cared little for the beast on the horizon for the moment, although, he would glance at it…her? It was powerful in appearance, four armed, ready for battle and his thirst would rise. Oh to fight such a creature on this battlefield, the snow drifting between them, the white of this perfect snow turned crimson with their blood, as a battle that raged across the land could possibly ensue. He could feel the heat rising, not only in his blood, but in his loins as well, and it was the battle lust that was consuming him. That bloodthirst that was never quenched, regardless of how much blood Unnamed would drink, insatiable by all standards, and yet he would resist. Something more interesting had caught his eye, something from the booklet back in the cave, their base of operations not so long ago.

It was there, the blue light in its hands that seemed…sad and oppressed, the light of the weak. But, perhaps that creature had answers, answers his Sharingan would drag from its ghostly lips! As it began to vanish, to ‘shift’, it was passing through a gate of some sort. He had to catch it. Shunshin made his feet light, the scavengers forgotten and he exploded forward in a gust of speed. A second shunshin to complete the move from where he once stood to the rift, and a final to follow the creature through the rift and into the unknown. He did not draw his blade and he leaped through the rift, not yet prepared to unleash that power yet again, however he was completely out of Shunshin. It was time to rely on his own speed for a time.

[Spirit™]

A frown etched itself into the soft stolen facial features of Sayuri's flesh. Parvati watched in disgust as one of her traveling companions attempted to push Rael off of a cliff to serve as a distraction. While she didn't care in the slightest for him, Rael did share some allegiance to her current vessel. However, she was not going to spend the mission attempting to save his life at every turn. He would have to save himself in this instance; she had no time for heroics even when Rael had potential to become a loyal servant to her cause once he had grown and developed his own skills and techniques.

In the meantime, Parvati utilized her Byakugan twofold. First, as a means of monitoring the enemy while they scattered to their various positions, undoubtedly attempting to gain a better strategic vantage point. Second, and most importantly, she paid closer attention to the humans who were supposedly her allies. With their obvious disdain for anything Konoha or land of fire, she would surely be next on the list if Rael met his end during the impending battle. No matter, they had yet to observe her prowess in battle. In all honesty, while the destruction of her current body would be a minor setback, now that she had successfully bridged the gap to the physical world, it would be simple to evict another soul from its body once she was set free from her current habitation.

Looking upon the scattered enemy forces, she found that her body itched for combat. The time for killing has drawn near. She thought calmly to herself. Readying herself, she stepped forward to begin the slaughter, only to find herself overwhelmed for a brief moment, her possessed body coming to an abrupt halt....

The lightning filled sky and snow covered landscape vanished, replaced by a small stone altar that was surrounded by darkness, save for the light shed by two lit candles on either side of the altar. The small flickering flames gave the impression of movement within the darkness. Parvati was standing inside the spiritual representation of her possessed vessel.
"Who has summoned me here?" Parvati asked, irritation seeping into her voice.
"I have." Answered a deep masculine voice, that reverberated off of the seemingly endless darkness around the altar. A figure emerged from the darkness, cloaked in pure white robes, the thin fabric revealing his ripped musculature and handsome features. His hair reminded Parvati of copper touched by fire, his eyes sharp jewels of emerald.

An elder God? She questioned herself in bewilderment.
"You have greatly unbalanced the harmony of this world." He proclaimed, his jeweled eyes never leaving Parvati. "The vessel you have selfishly stolen owned a destiny which could shape this world in several ways. Her victory in a future battle or potential death at that time will shape this world. Your possession has disrupted this path." He paused before continuing. "The taint of darkness runs deeply within you. As a goddess of the light, there is an internal harmony you are trusted to maintain within yourself. As such, the elder gods are currently deciding whether you should be executed, or purified in order to set things on the right path."

Parvati could not contain her anger. " You allowed my brethren and I to be destroyed, then cast into the darkness and you would then attempt to pass judgement on me?!" Her lip curled upwards in disgust. "Where were you and the others when we needed your help?! When the darkness stained my glory, and stole my heart, where were you?!" Parvati had to stop herself from trying to physically lash out. With a thought he could easily do so much, and instantly at that. In response he tilted his head as if listening to another person taking to him. He brought his attention back to Parvati a moment later.
"Apparently there is a lack of consensus as of what to do with you. I will return within the hour with our verdict." In an instant she was back, removed from the darkness and thrust back out into the battlefield.

Anger rose in her, a sudden rush of emotion she could no longer control. She needed to kill and she needed to do it now... Parvati ran full speed towards the enemy, her blood lust clouding her better judgement.

[Koori.]

"Stop."

Koori stopped moving as Heather called out to the group. The Jonin was so focused on his surroundings and trying to not get ambushed he hadn't realized the sky had become what looked like a blackhole scarred with lightning. He looked up, watching it briefly before looking back down at the horizon. They had company.

It appeared the enemy had gotten wise to the fact that the same trick wouldn't work twice, and instead of trying for another ambush, came at the group head on. Although the Jonin did have to admit that the enemy before them now did indeed look far more daunting than the mere thralls and grunts they had slain in the cavern. They also looked WAY more organized, even just in standing there before them in the distance.

Koori was on the verge of making a battle plan for the enemy, that ironically included using live bait or a farce attack force to meet the enemy to provide Houkou with a flank since he had a great deal of speed, sandwiching the enemy between Koori and Houkou, the obviously most skilled Taijutsu users amongst the group. That didn't happen, nor would it, it seemed for various reasons.

Axel pushed Rael off a cliff, seemingly for no other reason than a grudge. Childish. Houkou, took off and leap forth himself. That actually seemed normal, the Uchiha seemed as thought he preferred working solo. Gunnr, surprisingly, stayed back. Knowing her as well as Koori thought he did, he was sure she would be one the first to the fight. At any rate, Koori was left standing there clutching his two swords from the previous battle (Yes, still) and he didn't really know how to go about this. Charging in was moronic unless you could do what Houkou could, and while Koori did have similar skills, he was older still.

Perhaps play it by ear? No. Gunnr's protection was the Jonin's priority, he decided. She was the best scout currently, and they needed her to prevent any ambushes the opponents might be trying to set up with this frontal push. Koori stayed by her and heathers side currently, not really paying much more attention to anybody else at the moment, and would allow to danger to come to them. They had the high ground and the advantage anyway.

[Necromancer of the West]

It was a petty grudge that the wire man had against him, what was the point of such a grudge towards himself? Rael tried to think back towards the initial meeting. Speaking in half truths should not warrant such hatred. A person should always suspect a lie when being talked to. We are ninja, after all. Thinking back to the conversations and what he has said, a sudden click came to his mind. That he was portraying being weak. The strong sense of self-persevering, despite how he showed it. Rael's shady quirks and antics most likely nudged not just Axel, but everyone else the wrong way. A soft chuckle escaped, but suddenly quieted as he was tackled and was raised into the air. A brief turn of his head, Rael saw the man he was thinking about. A wide grin grew significantly and a harsh cackle like laugh could be heard, but dimmed down as Rael vanished down into the cliff side. The wire man would pay, sadly not anytime soon. His own goals and journeys came before his own petty grudges.

It was a tough tackle that Axel did. The snow was freezing, but his black wool clothing protected from most of the snow. The steep of the cliff wasn't bad, but it would leave bruises later one. Rael wanted to laugh more, but a silent groan of pain escaped instead. Rael froze in place once more, the same, ghastly aura flared up once more, sending shivers down his spine once again. Rael would not fare well with these beings. With a quick thought of mind, Rael pushed himself to the cliff side as close as possible. The shadows of the cliff side shrouded him, allowing him another idea to pop into his head. A few weaving movements, he concentrated his energy into the surrounding shadows and allowed them to stick to his skin. The cold touch of the shadows shrouded the small pain of the fall as he gained comfort from the shadows. His skin was now a sickly dark color. The shadows that wrapped around his skin gave him a tone of darkness, blending in better with the surrounding environment. 

It wasn't enough, anyone who looked close enough would realize that he was there. Rael weaved more handseals, feeding more of his chakra into the surrounding shadows. The shadows accepted his chakra with hunger. With haste, the shadows engulfed him in a shroud, or a similarity to a cloak. It would not full the eyes of a few of his "Comrades" but to those who were not actively searching for him or could break through his illusions, he would be mostly shrouded by the caress of the shadows. He ignored the surrounding battle, not wanting to gather attention towards himself. As long as he remained silent and still, the surrounding shadows would not dissipate.

[Not Loki]

Gunnr's eyes scanned over the the scene, and she had gathered all the information that she needed from the enemies before. Gunnr would glance over her shoulder and then looked back at the enemies. She pointed at the Marauder Drones and said to anyone still present, "Those creatures are the equivalent to low level Tiajutsu Masters. Easy enough to deal with." She then At the Executioners, "They are the equivalents of B Class Taijutsu masters. They may be a bit more sturdier and but again, nothing special." She then turned her attention to the crypt singers, "They may be a bit tricky... while they had moderate skill, they still excel in Genjutsu, and unorthodox abilities, or clan jutsu. We should focus on getting rid of them first. They could provide supplementary support and weave distractions that could hinder our progress. They need to be dealt with even before Their Leader."

After saying that Gunnr who point towards Aktul. "That is the leader, judging from the her she commands the other forces, and he Level of skill. She had the Power of an A rank Ninja, and she specializes in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. I suggest we let Fennir, Rael Parvati draw the attention of the foot soldiers, since they have already gone ahead. While the three of you... wait... where did?" Gunnr sighed as she realized that Houkou had left. She shook her head, she was sure quite where he went but it didn't matter. She would just have to work with what she had. "While Koori, Heather, and I attack the three Genjutsu users. The first one to dispatch their target, will go on full assault on their leader. Of course if the leader joins in the fray, we will just have to adapt. I be going first. Do try and keep up. Try and stay out of sight as long as possible."

Gunnr would begin to run, but she would not run directly off the cliff, ran in to opposite direction from where the others had gone off the cliff. She wanted to use the commotion the lot of them were causing to hide her approach as long as possible. They easier it was to B-line it to the Crypt Singers, the smoother this fight would go. It would make things much easier if they had some sniper support, but she had to make do with what she had.... but it didn't stop her from thinking that it was about time she learned to use a bow and arrow. As Gunnr would look behind her and down the cliff side at the others who should be engaged in combat by now.

As they engaged she took a breath and not jump but gently fell off the side of the cliff. She would free fall before her wings would spring out from behind her. She took her shield in hand. and would approach at a low angle, gliding rather than flapping her wings, to avoid making any unnecessary noise. Koori might find this to be surprising, but he had never seen Gunnr fight an actual battle. In 1 on 1 combat, there was little need for tact, the strongest won. But in situations like this it was better to give yourself the biggest advantage possible before striking.

They were in a clearing, so she didn't expect her approach to go completely unnoticed, if she could use the distraction of Axel and the others to get at least within 100 meters unnoticed of her targets that would be more than enough to get what she needed out of this approach. With all the ruckus that Axel and the other should be causing she should be able to cover quite a bit of ground before she was noticed.

[Wolf of the Falls]

As the Black Axel hit the ground he would notice the lack of a secondary thump along with him and a low grumble would slip past his maw glancing back at where Rael had fallen practically curling up into a ball in the shadow of the cliff. He was probably using some gen to hide his presence but it wasn't a thing Axel could notice so with a roll of his eyes he would bolt forward circling along the edge of the group while letting out a howl to draw them to him. However right afterwards he would begin to grow, he would become larger and larger until a 50x50 meter wolf stood to face the horde of monsters at a 45 degree angle away from the cliff face.

Rather than directly fighting them with his shear bulk he would amke use of his own tactic and tricks. with a swipe of his massive paw he would extend wire out along them as a slashing whip reaching out 50 meters as it carved through the snow and ice before them that would cleave through the group of creatures while Axel aimed for the strangest of them, the Cryptsingers, usually extremely ugly doesn't bode well for battle. All the while he watched as another nin, the first Leaf, ran down the cliff letting out a scream. Axel however would react instantly to her approach and let out a reverberating howl that would fill the gorge with sound keeping their attention on the literally larger threat.

----------

The crimson Axel would continue on his hunt quietly moving through the water rather than on land to find his target. His eyes still followed the tracks as they spread out through the decaying woodlands while taking in the death and destruction that filled the area. From everything around him it was obvious whatever he was tracking was large, though he was more curious about it in general. Regardless he would make sure to keep his head low and approach as quietly as possible to avoid unwanted attention from either his target or anything else in the area.

Post 1 of 3 "Bait and Tackle"

Response to Rael: He wasn't noticed by any of them. In which bought him some time to think over the situation.

Response for Axel Crimson:

"Attaaaaack!" That at least is the only sound that is comprehensible by those that understand the common language. Anything before and after in terms of the spoken words by the Marauders is something else entirely. This is a inapposite detail in the current events. It doesn't take much to know what these creatures were attacking. Their body language, strategic movements, and general ferocity shows the very action by itself. Flattening the snow below them with their heavy steps. The call for violence pushes the trio of engaging Marauders, backed by their equally dangerous Blood Hounds to mark the battle with their signature. In honor of their commanding officer, and her standing alone.

The moves swiftly. The Blood Hounds charging, but knowing not to follow their handlers. They came at Axel in a triangle formation formed in a matter of seconds. Snow kicking up from the power of their steps as they carved their way through. Despite their looks they are strong, and witty. Their awareness, and observation kept them in line. The leading Marauder using his strength, and weight to dig into the snow as he noticed the forming attack.

His following comrades noticing the abrupt sign, coiling their large heavy hands around the leash of the Blood Hounds. Grunting as they pulled hard to keep from being yanked forward from the momentum of these fast movers. The leading Marauder nearly falling back as the wire made cleaver near missed him. Snow and gravel kicking up at him as it shredded the ground in front of him, and his partners as described.

Despite that near entry into Death's door he held his ground. Not afraid to put himself into the heat of a brewing confrontation with a valuable foe. They had 50 meters to cover now. That much is doable. Quickly getting upright, and tossing the leash to the side as it was slashed effortlessly by the cleaver. He grumbled some inaudible words to the other two, before unsheathing a jagged dagger.

Then pointing at Axel he roared a single call to strike. The Blood Hound under his command barking fiercely before rushing towards Axel. The other Marauders releasing their hounds to do the same, before following close behind. Aiming to trap Wolfy in a triangle formation to keep him in the middle, and press the heat on hoping the hounds will at least either pin him or get him distracted enough to find a good attack to take by an exposed weak point.

Response to Axel Black: This Axel shall find that the waters in question will show no sign of negative influence. It was rather clean in fact. No signs of anything passing through it. On land the damage remains the same. However claw marks can be seen. Along with a few dead animals whether by fatal wound, or completely crushed. A trail of barbaric destruction that gets more, and more recent looking. Until the evidence unyielding to show itself. In the distance a dark, immensely tall figure can be seen. Sort of patrolling the area. The surrounding area is devastated in the sense of collateral damage. Some sort of monstrosity. A work of the enemy no doubt, but it moves around like a released feral beast. Stalking on its hinds, dragging a huge wooden spiked club behind it. This was no key member of Rusovia's kin. This is oneof her creations. The Harker...

Response to Sayuri/Parvati:

Her charge was met with equal rage. The other two Marauders that were guarding the Crypt Singers were not set on front line offense. Aktul wanting them to delay their push. They both roared in response before bolting down the incline together. One unholstering a large halberd. The other two jagged dagger.

The Marauder with the halberd, aimed directly for the bloodthirsty assailant. He would be forceful. Aiming to use the thick, sturdy polearm part of the axe weapon to parry an attack if she threw one. Doing this to completely stop her momentum. This was a defensive strike, Only aimed to block, or if granted open up a moment to strike for the kill.

Response to Gunnr:

Aktul growled to her Crypt Singers to hurry with preparations with the Ceremony of Passing. Clenching her top right fist as she barked her orders. All three hissing back that they understood. Their scrolls laid out in front of them. The trio would be aligned in a horizontal fusion.

The two on either end on their sitting in a meditative form, the one in the middle on their knees raising their hands towards the sky. The storm above crackling in response as it felt their presence corrupting it. A dark green aura linking the three as they started their chants. A demented choral of some sort.

Aktul by now was only standing ten meters behind them. Switching between watching over their ceremony, and the battlefield. Her Executioners armed, and ready to defend or deploy with their life as they had been trained to do. Their dull edged staffs held tightly in front of them. In the end though. Gunnr will be able to witness all of this.

That along with anyone else paying attention. From Gunnr's perspective the first thing she should notice about this ceremony from the Crypt Singers is that besides working fast the winds were changing abruptly. In a very unorganized state at first before coming more controlled. Whishing around whistling a soft evil tune. This was rising all the way to the storm which was starting to build up some sort of momentum in energy. Who knows what they are creating. However the faster the wind whirls, and the lightning churns. The more powerful their ceremony gets.

Gunnr will get into her 100 meter range, and as theorized she would get spotted eventually. The Executioners hissing to each other, which clued Aktul in that something was wrong. Until she looked up, and would in fact see Gunnr. The mere sight of a scout boils her blood. Growling for the Executioners to stay sharp in that same inaudible language.

The Three Summoning Circles:

[ᖫᖭØMNÏᖫᖭ]

Post 2 of 3 "Break the Line."

Gunnr's intel on the enemy gave Heather a good layout of where to apply her force. The prioritizing of the Crypt Singers indeed is a correct call of action. That much making her able to see how to handle this. Although hiding won't do her much good. At least not in the sense that she would feel comfortable. "Understood. I'm heading down to make sure nobody is overrun. The sooner this is done, the better." She said. Houkou's departure is a concern, but before hand he had already said he had no intentions of being in the next fight. In all of her hopes, she mainly wishes for him to have valuable information if they manage to rendezvous.

Time for chat is concluded though. As Heather held her Tempest firmly. Letting it glide through the air behind her as she slide down the cliff, pushed onward. Parvati will be engaged by the Maurauders first. Whatever happens with the one that engaged her will be observed by Heather three seconds before Heather met her own. He struck at her with a lot of effort, but she was too nimble.

Ducking low, then curling around his left side. Digging her elbow in the exposed sides of his lower abdomen. He grunted, feeling the rough counter, but unfazed by it. By all means Marauders aren't going to be very respondent to attacks like this.

Heather took note. Using her legs to push to the right, creating evasive distance as he tried to backhand her. They stared at each other only for two seconds before Heather lunged forward initiating a set of attacks. He evaded them well. But she set him up to thin he should attack. Trying to stab her with one of his daggers, along her to lean, swing her blade. Cutting his chest; making him stagger a bit from the mere force of the swing.

If the cut was softened by his natural chitin coverings along with the armour he had on he for sure would had died. Regardless Heather decided she need not to waste any further time. Forming the handseals, then slamming her hand on the ground impaling his legs with Earth Spikes, before rushing in and finishing him with a final strike from her sword.

His upper body flung to the side by the sword alone leaving the other to fall forward staining the ground, and snow in his blood. She didn't pay much mind beyond this. The creature was dead. Simply watching out to make sure Parvati didn't have trouble. If she indeed had handled her end of this quick confrontation then Heather was free to eye the enemy ahead. A distance of 50 meters on top of a slight inclined level of surface. By this point everything was already started, and Aktul would have spotted Gunnr. However Heather was more worried about the Crypt Singers. What were they planning over there?

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

The battle versus the cursed one's lieutenants has begun. Spectre observed for awhile and then decided action must take place but how to benefit the many more than the one. Well first step would to equalize the playing field. With a few quick hand seals forty plus swordsmen began to dig their way out from the ground in their spectral forms. This was his most used jutsu the one that even most playing fields. They were slow skeletal swordsman shades but they appeared to be in heavy armor and they do hurt. The heavy guard of his shadows to begin the battle. He summoned them away from him to stay hidden for this was key. 

Immediately the phalanx charged the horde at Aktul's side. These would become the front lines to help his fellow shinobi. Suddenly his self wasn't where it was. His incorporeal being was behind the enemy formation now but still mostly in the ground. His Mist clone staying where it was to act as the visual representation of him. It was copying all of his hand movements and whatever to make a convincing look of him. The next set of hand seals was the real danger for the enemy formation. Around the crypt singers suddenly thirteen hintoma appeared.

His Ghost light fireballs began to dance around the group. One to distract and two in preparation for his next attack. Kuroki wasn't a direct fighter but he even the playing field fairly quickly, he wasn't the most powerful by a long shot. But he had a mind like no other and tricks few live to see and tell tales.

[Not Loki]

Gunnr's Ryuugan saw the elements as they truely were and so when someone fooled around with them it was easy to see. She saw the way the energy swirled through the wind and intensified around the Crypt Singers. It was a wise decision to go after them first. This changed nothing as going after the Chakra heavy users was always the priority, as they would always prove the be a bigger threat if left unchecked. Gunnr's reached her 100 meter minimum, the distractions caused by Fenrir and the others had done it's job. She might be able to end this battle in one fell swoop. At the very least she should be able to cripple their forces.

Aktul would look up but she would not see Gunnr, as Gunnr was making a low approach. This was the reason she free fell from the cliff as opposed to taking off to the skies. Gunnr would rearrange her Judgments to accomplish what she needed. So whatever Aktul was looking at would prove to be nothing. However the Gunnr gliding towards their location would more than likely be seen eventually. Gunnr was gliding about 10 meters above the ground, once she was spotted, Gunnr would bring her shield up in front of her, as her sword would ignite in Hell Fire. The shield would cover her entire tiny frame as she tucked her wings in. It would seem that she was establishing a solid defense for an incoming volley of attacks........ However. Gunnr had already slipped the grip of her shield.

Her tiny body had already covered the distance that separated her from Aktul. She was now standing just outside of 20 meters from Aktul. As soon as she reached her destination she reached out with her left hand that was previously holding her shield, and a Lake of Hell Fire would appear beneath the Crypt Singers. Begin distracted by their spell and the dancing flames from Specter, the Crypt Singers hardly had time to notice that the three of them would dead in the middle of a 10 meter wide 10 meter deep Lake of Fire. Gunnr's feet stood just at the edge of the lake as it manifested out of nowhere, seeming to come from the depths of hell itself.  Trying to swim out of a pit of hell fire would prove to be a nearly impossible thing for most, the pain of the fire of hell burning their very souls would be enough to make anything beg for a quick death.  

Where Aktul was standing, she would be engulfed as well, albeit she would be on the edge perhaps giving her the chance to crawl her way out of the pit before it was too late. Of course Gunnr didn't plan on giving her that chance. As the Lake Of Hell fire formed, her sword covered in Hell Fire was already weaving through the air at untraceable speeds, as a Hell Fire Dragon's Nest, raced over towards Aktul, 18 Strikes of Hellfire wrapped slashes would race towards her, dealing a total of 972AP of hell fire infused damage (216AP is Hell Fire Damage). What was more terrifying was that each slash had the capability of ending Aktul's life full stop. The slightest cut could mean her doom, and there was no resisting the power of hell fire. This was made to judge the wicked, and judged she shall be. "Be Judged..." Is all that escaped from the little Valkyrie's mouth. As she finished speaking, the shield she had slipped some 100 meters away would finally hit the ground.

A short bark would cut through the air and both Hime and Exccel would leap down running down the steep face past Parvati/Spirit toward their master. In turn Axel would tense and shift his wire making it more muscular and strained putting tension on himself to increase his strength(All-Fours: Fire). After doing so he would let his wire fire out in every direction to intercept all of the enemies within 100 meters of his position(Advanced Tendril Control). Using this as a distraction and detainment method Axel's crimson gaze would look between each of the enemies, potentially 15 in total.

Once Hime and Exccel had reached him he would perform the seals for the first time. With the final seal came massive blast of smoke from Axel's position and a growl would rumble through the ground before the smoke would be dispelled from the area by an ear-piercing howl sounded out in triplicate. Before this paltry army stood a Gargantuan Triple-Headed Wolf with infernal fur and the black wire trailing out to every poor soul that had gotten caught.

In that same instance each set of eyes focused on the would be leader of the group. With a short leap, the beast would leave the ground before curling and spinning with an immense amount of speed becoming a flame wheel and that very rotation would drag in the prey caught by his tendrils into the rushing buzz saw as it rocketed forward toward the leader sundering the very earth before it while keeping track of it's target(Tail-Chasing Fang).

[Wolf of the Falls]

In the distance the Black Axel would notice the figure as well as the slowly changing state of demolition in his surroundings. It seemed this was the one causing the destruction but that could be false. His pace would slow and he would slip under the water walking underneath so not to rouse suspicion while using the water to hide himself given that he didn't need to breathe and the wire would blend with the blackened earth that seemed to span the whole area.

At 10 meters he would stop and watch curiously to see what it was doing and try to determine if he needed to kill the large creature or if it would be possible to frighten it away.

[Necromancer of the West]

His plan had worked, the monsters that were attacking the other members of the team hadn't spotted him, yet. Rael gave the opportunity a thought. This was a perfect time to see these cursed beings in action. Maybe gain insight on their behavior and mannerisms. Rael heard the war cry from the Marauders but then heard gibberish. These Marauders looked to be more humanoid than the other beasts that Aktul has sent towards the group. They were troll like brutes, stomping everything in their path. The curse obviously tied the being to Aktul, which was probably gifted from Rusovia. 'What would she gain from such gift? Is she just using them as a vice of entertainment?' Rael had questions that he wanted answers to. He didn't know why this minion was at this point of their path. Was this being the weaker of Rusovia's Minions? Rael continued to watch the battle unfold.

With the fight with Axel, it was intriguing to see the wires form and meld with one another. Rael hadn't come into contact with such techniques. Was his whole body made of wires? Or were they materialized from something else? Rael made a note to research such atrocity. But before his eyes, the wire man burst forth, allowing tendrils to whip around him, easily allowing protection from the bloodhounds. It was interesting to see Axel form into a gigantic three headed wolf of fire and bound towards the Marauders.

Cackling and buzzing of the electrical storm made his observation go towards three altered beings, with scrolls. He was too far away to hear the chanting. Was this how the curse spread? Or was this something more ominous? But what frightened Rael was the power the little warrior possessed. The flaming fire that seemed like they came from hell themselves was an impressive sight to behold, as she cut through the enemies. Noted. Stay away from her.

Rael remained still and silent, waiting for all to diminish before he reveal himself once again.
