Dark Deeds Done for Dirt Cheap [Open]

[Skulking Shinzu]

Zuruel crouched down by a sandy dune in his usual attire with a sigh. The Order of the Ancient ones turned out to be a dud. No fights, no rewards, just wasted time. Grimacing, he glanced up at the blazing hot sun. He could probably Hiraishin away, but he refused to leave the area without having accomplished at least one productive thing today. “Zuruel…” Lady approached from the left and laid down against the scorching sand. Her fur protected her from the direct heat, but not from the overall temperature of the desert. She had to be boiling under there. Sighing once more, he pushed himself off the ground and kicked at the dune to unleash a spray of sand into the distance. "What a waste of time..." He mumbled to himself as his enhanced sense of hearing picked up on a strange pair of heartbeats.

[Starnaess]

The twins would be split, carrying their usual gear , followed by their cohorts. Uryen would be the one carrying a small cart, with a huge chest on top of it. The chest was sealed and surrounded by Theliel and Galadriel, forming a triangle formation of sorts. The twins would be leading the expedition standing roughly five meters away from the cart, Kael in front while Kaelynn would be in the back. The chest would countain many weapons, specifically crafted for a man they had taken an interest in.

They had made this deal a while back, and it took them quite some time to  craft the items said man requested, but they were succesful - now all that  stood between them and their reward, was a few kilometers away from the randevouz point.

[Skulking Shinzu]

“Two… Three… Five?” Five heartbeats. An entire group was approaching. Two heartbeats, Zuruel could easily identify. Their murderous and sinister rhythms could only belong to two dear friends. Although Zuruel could welcome them with open arms, Lady growled as the duo faced their direction and spotted their cart in the distance. Patting the canine to show it was safe, the duo made their way towards the twins and their group to help speed up the reunion. “My my. Bodyguards? Have I been reduced to such little trust.” The Kedoin crossed his arms as he eyed the trio. Since when did Kael and Kaelynn have so many friends? Regardless, the real focus of his attention seemed to be the chest on the cart. “Is that?” He wondered as he stepped forwards. If allowed, he’d hop onto the cart and attempt to open the chest. Even with his eyes off the trio, his enhanced sense of hearing was constantly alerting him to their every movement.

[Starnaess]

The moment the group sumbled upon Zuruel, Theliel and Galadriel jumped next to kael in the front row. uryen , instead would stop the card and place his left hand onto the handle of his katana. This was due to the fact that neither of them had ever encountered Zuruel. However as the twins saw this reaction, they would turn their gaze onto them - unleashing such an ominous killing intent that the three of them backed up realizing their mistake.

The twins would then smile at Zuruel as they  stepped onto the  side revealing the cart - "Its been a while, friend" the twins said in unison as their left hand  showed the chest. Zuruel was indeed allowed to jump onto the cart to do whatever he pleased. If he opened the chest , he would find the deck of cards he requsted meticolously sealed in a dark box - one box for each set and on top of that box the respective symbol of the cards - one for each seed. "We are sure that, the items you requested will satisfy your needs fully - we also took the liberty to add our own touch to them , making them completly unique."

The twins would be referring to their own faces replacing the original joker's face as well as their character being drawn up as a small figure next to each seed.

[Skulking Shinzu]

Zuruel licked his lips at the trio’s reactions. A fight was just what he needed after the disappointment of the failed adventure. However, no such thing would occur. The twins would see to that. Zuruel had forgotten just how potent their murderous intent was. Even in his prime, he couldn’t strike that much fear into the hearts of men with a mere glance. In some ways, he had a lot to learn from them. “Your own touch? They won’t explode in my hands will they?” He chuckled as he lifted up his shirt. Instantly, the Kedoin’s belly ripped open with a set of teeth to form an elongated maw vertically along his belly. He didn’t need to open the four smaller chests. Utilising his echolocation, he could sense how many objects were inside each one. Thirteen – for four full suits of fifty-two cards. The twins had out done themselves.

Tossing each chest into his belly, the maw only closed up and shut tight once the fourth was inside, after which he jumped down from the cart with a soft thud. Zuruel clearly wasn’t used to manoeuvring around sandy regions. “Now for my end of the deal.” Zuruel cracked his knuckles as he walked away from the twins to create a distance of 10 meters before turning to face them again. Naturally, Lady followed. “This should be enough distance to react. Got a couple scrolls ready?” He asked while weaving together a set of handseals. This was going to be a draining session. No point in wasting Chakra by using bard melodies to whistle his Jutsu. For the first time in years, he was going to rely on good old fashioned finger seals.

[Starnaess]

The twins smiled at zuruel, linking his reaction toward their goods. and the moment zuruel stepped away and asked his question , Kael would snap his fingers , making Theliel rush to his side as he handed him a journal of sorts. The journal itself was rather odd not just for how it looked but for its size too, for it could fit in the palm of a hand. The moment it touched Kael's hand however it would quadruple in size and begun levitating next to him. The size was the same as a normal  shield , just orizontally placed.

Opening it wide the  size would increase once more reaching that of a tower  shield. "Mmh..". Kael would quickly scroll through the pages until he reached a blank one, he would then spin the shield around having the blank pages face Zuruel.

"Whenever you are ready, my dear" Would say Kaelynn as she sat onto the cart.

[Skulking Shinzu]

"Well Lady, you're up." Zuruel threw himself onto the sand and landed on his back with a soft thud. Crossing his legs and utilising his palms as a pillow, he flared his elbows and shut his eyes. It was time to rest. Lady, meanwhile, balanced on her hind legs before a puff of smoke erupted out from her. With the aid of the Transformation Jutsu, she was now a young silver haired human. "Just so we are clear... I am only doing this because Zuruel asked me to." Being a powerful force of good, she just couldn't bring herself to trust the tainted twins. Still, a deal was a deal. And if it was Zuruel asking, then she'd obey without hesitation.

Weaving together a set of handseals, a jade crystal mirror suddenly appeared in front of Lady. Another string of seals, and the mirror spat out five crystal clones which lined up besides Lady for a total of six individuals. Perfectly in sync, like they were mere reflections of the mirror, the group formed a final set of seals. Each Lady unleashed three crystal streaks with the form of dragons that spiralled out from their hands and hurtled towards the strange scroll shield. The twins had to be quick. Six seals would be needed to absorb the eighteen dragons.

[Starnaess]

The jutsus would be aimed toward the twins, but instead of hitting them, they would shrink and spiral toward the book and enter its pages, forming and completing the seal , filling six pages. The twins would show a sick and perverted smile as they witnessed the finalization of the  seals. kael would simply scroll the pages readying new empty ones to be used. The book would remain opened facing Lady and zuruel , ready to absorb more of their jutsus and chakra.

kaelynn would slowly walk toward zuruel and smile as she approached. She would then place her right hand onto his left shoulder and whisper "I hope you are not forgetting these... one for you.. and one for your fluffy pet" Kaelynn would hand him two empty Standard-Flasks as well as a steel kunai.

[Skulking Shinzu]

With their Jutsus absorbed, the six transformed Moon Dogs weaved together another string of handseals. This time, all six extended their palms towards the book and one by one, released a spray of needles into the pages. Zuruel, meanwhile, raised a curious eyebrow as he felt pressure on his left shoulder. Opening his eyes, he frowned as he was handed several items. “Of course.” While Kaelynn was distracted, a hand slid into his pocket where he popped open a tube. Sliding his finger in, he made physical contact with a single strand of hair. The hair of a shape shifter. Slowly but surely, his internal body structure began to change. Outwards, he looked no different. Inwards, his blood type and DNA had completely changed and restructured. Poking the tip of this finger with the Kunai, Zuruel allowed ‘his’ blood to fill the test tube. Kaelynn now had the blood of a Kedoin as promised. Just not his blood. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the twins. Rather, he couldn’t risk a witch getting their slimy hands on such a personal item. “As mentioned – I am a Kedoin. A shapeshifter. Unlike the Transformation Jutsu and Genjutsu, our bodily transformations are physical. They cannot be dispelled or pierced through by Doujutsu. We possess the perfect array of stealth, mimicry and invisibility techniques.” Wrapping his fingers around the Kunai tightly, he slammed the sharp end into his chest where his heart would be. The moment he removed the weapon from his body, the wound sealed up almost instantly with minimal blood loss. This demonstrated two things. One, he possessed enhanced regenerative abilities. Two, his heart wasn’t where a normal being’s would be.

Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: After forming the handseals, the user is able to take some of the crystal from an already formed creation and produce crystalline spikes out of it. These spikes can harm people touching the structure with piercing damage. The user is able to have these spikes shoot off the structure, creating senbon-like projectiles that travel at speeds equivalent to a tai-master of equal rank to the user. The user may create 20 spikes for every 10 times Shōton: Crystallization they know. The duration of this jutsu is 5 hours per class level or until they decide to use the spikes as projectiles.
Limit: Must know Shōton: Crystallization

[Starnaess]

Kael would turn the page once more to allow for a clean one to be used as a recipient for the new jutsus about to be used by Lady. Meanwhile  Kaelynn would grab the vial of blood and put it in her pocket. "Thank you darlin.." she would then kiss zuruel on the cheek as she waited for the second vial to be ready. "So tell me about Kedoins...Whats so special about you?"

The deal between the twins and Zuruel was a rather simple one, chakra and information in exchange for weapons - the information that a person such as zuruel possessed was indeed valuable to them.

[Skulking Shinzu]

“Well…” It pained Zuruel to do so, but he went on to describe all the Kedoin abilities he knew of and that he had mastered. A deal was a deal after all. He had no qualms with playing with words to weasel out of certain situations, however, this one required a tinge of honesty. After he was done explaining, Zuruel cracked his knuckles and triggered the thermal enchantment on his blade to cause it to combust into flames. Weaving together a set of seals while still laying calmly on the ground, he immediately unleashed the entirety of his Chakra to release 300 fiery sparrows into the twin’s book. Meanwhile, the five Lady’s crystallised gauntlets onto each arm and unleashed a spray of 120 crystal needles per clone at the book.

Exploding Flock
Rank: S
Skill: ninjutsu
Effect: Create Hundreds of improved Fire Sparrows from surrounding fire that explode.
Special: handseals
Drawback: leaves the user exhausted and unable to use high chakra techniques.
Description: User creates handseals and then creates a thin field of chakra that reacts with the surrounding fire. User can use the surrounding fire to create hundreds of copies of the Fire Sparrow Technique. These Fire Sparrows last three posts and fly just like sparrows and can be controlled by the user. However these Fire Sparrows have a lot more punch to them. Each one has the substance and intensity of other fire jutsus and will cause a small explosion that will cause C rank damage. One can imagine the damage can become quite severe with so many fire sparrows. However they are still weak explosions and can be blocked fairly easily and a study defense is not likely to fall even with so many mini-explosions. This can affect all fire within 40 meters of the user. After using this jutsu the user will become very weak from exerting so much chakra to give all the fire sparrows an explosive force they will not be able to use any ninjutsus nor any jutsus above rank C until they have rested for an extended amount of time.
Limit: 750 TP in Fire Release, Must have Inferno Flock, must have source of fire

[x3] Shōton: Haridesasu Hito (Crystal Release: Needler)

Effect: Encases the user’s hand in crystal which can then launch senbon-like projectiles which explode.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Renders the hand encased in crystal useless until the user ends the jutsu and removes their hand from the crystal.
Description: The user forms the handseals and channels chakra around one of their hands, forming a crystalline “gauntlet” around it. This gauntlet has 14 senbon-like spikes jutting out from the top of it that are roughly six inches in length. At the user’s will, they may channel chakra into this gauntlet and send a small shard of one of these spikes flying out of the front of the gauntlet at speeds equal to a tai-master of equivalent rank. These spikes home in on their targets, following them to a limited degree. Once the spike pierces a target, it will explode after 1 second has passed. These shards deal 10 points of Piercing damage plus an additional 40 armor points of Exploding damage. The user may fire up to 60 shards per use of this jutsu at a rate of 9 shards per second. These shards will shatter on their own if they do not hit something, giving them a range of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. This jutsu may be learned a total of 3 times. When first learned, the user learns the base form of this jutsu. When learned a second time, the user learns how to form two “needler gauntlets” instead of one, one for each hand. When learned a third time, the user learns how to double the amount of shards fired, totaling to 120 shards per use of the jutsu per hand.
Limit: Must know Crystal Release: Crystal Needles. Must know Kesshō: Hōmingu Shuriken (Crystal Release: Homing Shuriken).

[Starnaess]

Kaelyn listened carefully while she shared the informations telepatically to Kael. Meanwhile kael simply kept turning on the pages as the seal absorbed the kedoin as well as his pet's jutsus. There were still many empty pages and as each one got filled his hunger for more kept growing. "kedoins huh, interesting bunch arent you. Kaelynn handed the man another kunai and then pointed toward lady - id like a taste of her blood as well" at that thought h er face would get slighly aroused. "While we are at it, do you happen to know the powers of any other bloodlines?" She would stand very close to zuruel as if she  was magnetized to him.

[Starnaess]

Waiting for the book to absorb the jutsus, Kaelynn and kael decided to both do some jutsus of their own, however instead of onto the book they were going to do it onto themselves. As a way to show off to Zuruel, they decided to do a curse that they had never done before. They begun by forming hte usual Umbral handseals and then follow it up with eldritch affliction handseals powering the jutsu and turning it into a permanent one. They would then place their hands onto their chest and allow the curse to spread and power them up marking them forever. Of course in order to do this they had to fuse eachother becoming one.

The curse took effect onto their bodies but only a third of the jutsu felt truly powerful, the twins had to simply repeat the process until the umbral jutsu maximized on their bodies providing the most powerful boost to their statistics that was humanly possible. So repeating the handseals they kept the act up. With the sun shining onto their backs casting shadows that seemes to stretch for miles the twins could feel their chakra beng drained.

"No thats not it" whispered Kaelynn to her brother. Even though their body fused and their power increased, they could still feel that it didnt feel right, their umbral could be improved much more they knew it, they had done it before just not with eldritch attatched to the jutsu itself. Their body was accepting the curse but it still did not deplete all the chakra it could therefore the twins started all over again doing the handseals and re doing the jutsu.

Zuruel was still busy with the jutsu sealing part of the deal, while the twins were still attempting at cursing themselves over and over. Their expression was starting to turn from  complete calm into frustration. They knew they could do it, they had done it before after all. But for some reason today just wasnt the day. However they couldnt just stop they needed to try again. They were not the type to give up so easily.

The six Lady’s sighed. This was taking forever. At the cost of their Chakra, it was time to pump out their Jutsu in overdrive. Mirroring each other, the six Moon Dogs unleashed a series of hexagonal pillars – the Jade Crystal Hexagonal Pillars technique. They then unleashed the Crystal Reinforcement Technique six times by crystallising the twins equipment. Sealing it, they’d instantly be able to reinforce all their armour in a extra layer of durability. Knowing this was a useful tech, they repeated that same technique ten times – for a total of sixty, bringing them to the brink of exhaustion. It was now time to rest. Zuruel, meanwhile, stared at the twins as they began to curse themselves. A dangerous power to toy with. Still, if they perfected it, he'd be their next willing target. As they practiced, he spent the next few hours explaining all he knew about the various bloodlines he had encountered. He didn't know their names well. The Sharingan, for example, were demon eyes to him. Still, he knew their varying techniques and abilities. Plenty to form appropriate counters. "Ah... You're interested in blood too aren't you?" Reaching deep into his cloak's pocket, Zuruel fished out 10 vials of Rabbit's blood and handed it to the twins.

[x60]Engun Kessho no Jutsu (Crystal Reinforcement Technique)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Reinforces an object with the user's crystal.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Using water vapor or other particles in the air the user coats an existing object in crystal without crystallizing the object itself. The result is an item with near the same toughness as the user's skill in Shōton: Crystallization. The objects armor points is equal to half the user's skill in Shōton: Crystallization. If this jutsu is used in conjunction with Kessho Mageyasui the objects armor points are instead two ranks below the user's skill in Shōton: Crystallization. This jutsu can be dismissed without damaging the reinforced object. Mostly used by Weapon Taijutsu users looking to keep their weaponry from being damaged, or by those who don't want something destroyed once they dismiss their crystal. This jutsu does not increase an item's offensive capabilities, only its defensive.
Limit: Must know Kessho Mageyasui no Jutsu (Pliant Crystal Technique)

Description: The user forms the handseals and creates six gigantic crystal spires in a hexagonal pattern. These spires are fifty meters in height and the hexagonal formation is created at a distance of 30 meters plus 15 per class level with the user as the epicenter. Within this formation, the user's crystal ninjutsu are more formidable, their rank increasing by 1 plus 1 per class level up to a maximum of S. This increase in potency can only be maintained while the user is within a 10 meter plus 5 per class level circle at the center of the formation.
Limit: Must know Shōton: Crystallization

The shadiest of deals were often done in broad daylight, where the mundane onlooker could peer in and suspect not a thing. Aimless walking took my casual gait past the two as they sealed their deal, forged in blood and chakra. The small spectacle they made caused even the most lackadaisical to take notice. Though, perhaps they didn't care. It was hard to resist the drink that beckoned at my side, but I resisted the urge if only due to the small intrigue of what was happening. Every so slowly, my trajectory took me on a stroll by - far enough hat I was but a bystander.

[Starnaess]

The twins  spotted the man as he slowly approached them. Kaelynn would briefly depart from Zuruel in order to  address the man who happened to bump into their little reunion. "And who might you be? We have never seen you before, you must be a brave one however if you so calmly approached a group of strangers." Kaelynn briefly paused before continuing. "State your business". She would await his answer before deciding on how to proceed.

The world suffused with grey lit up only to draw a line between the twins, a small bright spot illuminated with a spark of kaleidoscope. A similar line connected Zuruel to the twins and them to myself, and so on. An absent mind tugged upon the metaphysical cord that connected the twins and myself as they spoke. The moment passed strangely due to the vacancy of my mind despite the fully attention of my eyes and senses. I let it linger.

The movement of my hands was played off turning into wave of embarrassment, cloaked in a dull ray of rainbow. "Apologies, apologies! I didn't really know what was going on here, people seldom stop in the middle of nowhere, I was wondering if you folks needed any help?"

Another moment passed.

"Hmm. Or maybe you're doing business here? Oh! I didn't mean to interrupt!"
