Set raised an eyebrow as Valerys questioned her, she never really cared whether or not the current host remembered her or what she did, after all Set helped Krystal loosen up when she had to murder half the village. For a moment she would touch a finger to her pouty lips. "I don't see how it matters, if you'd prefer she not know about me, or the things I do, make me a deal."
Set intentionally left the barter in the air as her gaze shifted to sneksnek. She saw the shield he retrieved and that made her smile a bit as he prepared another technique. She watched his hands while her cat ears tilted to the sound of wind. As he whipped his arm forward launching the wind she could faintly glimpse the blade's outline form the sand flitting around it before her aura pulsed through her body once again.
As the wind blade came closer she would roll forward onto her shoulder before raising her lower body and twisting while channeling her aura to her right leg just before kicking the blade head on at the exact angle keeping the blade lined up with her leg. As the impact occurred Set's motion already followed through with her hands striking the sand and flinging her skyward as the blade glowed red before firing back at the serpent. Meanwhile Set touched back down on all-fours, a playful grin on her lips liking the flexibility and dexterity of this new host as she slowly stood back up but a drip drew her gaze down to a long thing cut along her thigh from knocking back the hit.
"Damn, got sloppy..." Set pouted having marred the beautiful body she was enjoying. "So, what do you got for me queen in the making?"

Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: A technique that makes the Rider more proficient in the art of combat on their mount when it comes to striking attacks. Striking attacks no longer take double movements. Instead striking attacks now take 1.5 times the amount of movements. So a strike that takes 2 movements now takes up 3 movements instead of 4 while a strike that takes up 1 movement still takes up 2 movements. Rider is however still unable to perform attacks dealing with multiple strikes in a single movement. Limit: Must be "Rider" of Mounted Combat. Must know Riding (Novice).

"Mmm, call me Queen a bit more and we may just get along," Valerys beamed after having watched Akumu throw up the shield and block the reflection. Although a bit of the reflected Wind Scythe still got through his defenses (due to ninjutsus strange nature) but his natural defenses stopped any sort of damage. Valerys suddenly teleported through the air toward Akumu and appeared on his serpentine back, holding on to him with the skill of an expert rider -- even on land. Her legs wrapped around the side of his black body, close to the red pinstripe that ran down his side, and she held his neck at the base of the cobra hood. Akumu hissed with pleasure.
She pulled Bitter Mercy from her back and held it out, looking at the blade and demonstrating that she too was going to be doing a bit of training. "A deal, huh? You drive a hard bargain. I've got a spot opening up in a group of evil individuals that has been gathering here in the Land of Wind. If you keep yourself and your deeds a secret from my beloved, then you can join and reap all the benefits that you desire..." Valerys twirled her spear in her hand and watched it glisten in the sun within her hand. Although she could not use her most advanced Tensora techniques, Valerys found that she could still perform some complex maneuvers while on Akumu's back.
Suddenly Valerys stabbed forward with a North Wind: Bash attack while on the back of her giant serpent, maintaining a grip with one hand while stabbing the air with the air. She seemed to be doing the same as Set, training under this sunlight, and also Akumu who was not resting and coming up with his own attack as well. She did not know how Set would respond and wondered, throwing the spear to her left hand and then trying to use the attack with that hand as well. It was not as easy and took more of her concentration but in the end Valerys pulled this off as well. Every attack demonstrated her control over Akumu and her own body as the two fought as one. She knew that now she would need to move on to learning more powerful techniques when riding and that was when Akumu began to slither across the ground.
Beast Tearing Gale Palm Rank: "B" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: User releases an advanced version of Beast Tearing Palm that deals heavy damage. Special: Handseals Drawback: --- Description: Range of this technique is 30 meters + 15 meters per Class Level. Duration of this technique is Instantaneous. Target is 3 meter diameter line.

This technique deals 14 Armour Points of Slashing damage per Class Level and can bypass Hardness/Natural Armour equal to 4 + 1 per Class Level. This technique may deflect attacks equal to the damage of the attack however will become weaker as it deflects damage. Limit: Must know Wind Release. Must know Beast Tearing Palm.

Akumu watched Valerys and the demon talk and started wondering what new ninjutsu he could throw at her that she might not be able to counter. It was clear that his lower rank techniques would not work, so Akumu remembered some reading that he had done with the Wind Release Scroll at the Dalamadur Temple. He had memorized a certain set of handseals for a technique known as the Beast Tearing Gale Palm. Since he was already familiar with this branch of techniques, he figured that he should extend it even further during this training. Suddenly he blocked Set's counter-attack and Valerys teleported on top of his back. "Ah so we're doing this now," he said in draconic and hissed with glee.
He started to perform the handseals that he had remembered, but it took him longer than his other techniques and it was clear that he had not yet mastered this one. He began to send chakra throughout his body and build it up in the wind around him as the technique progressed, drawing it closer to his lower right hand. The air began to solidify and grow into an aura there as Valerys stabbed at the air, training herself it would seem. Once he felt that he had summoned enough of the air to his hands using the chakra deep within his body, Akumu slithered quickly across the ground and began moving in the direction of Set's rear.
Once he had got so distance, he suddenly unleashed the attack and sent his chakra forth as a claw of wind. The claw reached out through the air toward Set, who was not far away, but it would not have the same strength as a mastered technique -- less than half. Still even this was as strong as some of the other attacks he had used on her and Akumu waited to see what it would do. Even as he attacked once however, Akumu was forming the handseals to do it once again knowing that each time he would be getting stronger. The chakra flowed through his body and began to increase within his arms. He was surprised by how much he had left after all of the training, but knew that if push came to shove then there were ways of increasing one's chakra... It was one thing he was fairly good at.

"Hm, not interested your highness. I'm not into groups otherwise I would've been a Corner too. What else?" Set refused the offer not having any interest at all in her little group, she intended to be free to do what she wanted not held to some grander 'purpose'. Her expression fell seeing Valerys mount her snake figuring she really wasn't open to her besides as a tool.
As she swiped her spear at the air Set's aura flowed through her once again as she watched Set begin to move. She glanced at him from her position without turning while he created a dense claw of chakra around his arm. The very same whistling of wind allowed her to recognize the note of chakra before she would breathe out relaxing.
As Akumu fired the claw Set would swiftly lean backwards planting her palms in the sand while focusing her aura into her leg as it slammed into the spectral claw using her force and will to bounce the technique back again forcing her will through the technique as her eyes glowered red. following through with the kicking movement she would raise back up to her feet before looking back at sneksnek and the queen. This time her body would be left unharmed while she felt her energy growing inside, most likely from her extreme state of being.

As Set rejected Valerys' offer, she drove into Akumu's technique and sent it flying back toward her pet quetzalcoatl. He blocked it just as he had done before, throwing up his shield and absorbing some of the damage. Meanwhile, Valerys had to try her best to hold on to her mount and continue her own movements. While he blocked the counter, Valerys prepared her own stabbing technique with her spear and tried it out as Akumu's block. She noted how much more familiar she was becoming with these movements and held on as Akumu took back off through the sand -- moving to yet another different position.
"Hmm, well then there is nothing that I would wish you to hide from Krystal if we are not going to spread evil with one another. Then there will be no deal." She didn't sound angry, but rather definitive as if it had been decided. What a shame... Valerys thought atop her mount who sped along the ground. She had known people like this, evil people who refused to work with others (even if they were on the same "team") and it was a shame that Set might be one of them as well. She hold on tight to both her spear and Akumu as he came to stop and started on another one of his techniques.
In his free hand the wind once again started to accumulate, and Valerys held her spear out to her side -- seeming to extend from her as if it were part of her arm. She let her muscles stiffen and bend into the right posture, maintaining it even as Akumu went on with his actions. Meanwhile, she looked at Set and waited for her response. Now that she knew that they would not be working together, then why use Set at all? A shame that she had become so fond of Krystal or she could have just killed her and been done with it...

Akumu blocked the counter and held his shield up high, deflecting most of the damage and absorbing the rest with his defenses. He could feel Valerys becoming more stable on top of his body and tried to move with her so as to enhance her technique. While doing this, however, he knew that he would need to unleash the attack at least one or two more times upon the demonic woman before he would master it. He let his chakra move throughout his serpent-like body and slithered across the ground, already recreating the handseals and getting ready to unleash the attack once more. In all honesty, it was amazing how quickly he was learning considering he had only used it once or twice during this session.
When he had moved to a different position and the handseals had been formed, Akumu opened his jaws and roared as he began to let his chakra move throughout his arms. They filled with his energy and suddenly felt much more powerful, as if there was some magical strength flowing into his palms. As the chakra entered his fingers the wind in the atmosphere was already collecting to his body. It was if he was a magnet for it, especially as his skills in the wind chakra became more and more advanced. Soon the chakra began to cling around his fingers and turn into five sharpened claws swirling directly in front of him. The more chakra he put into the technique, the larger it became.
After a time Akumu had summoned a claw of wind that three feet in width and surged with his powers. It seemed like the cobra smiled as it unleashed the claw in Set's direction, but aimed slightly away to her side and at the ground. As it set off into motion and came within range of Set's body so that it would be difficult for her to turn and get into a stance, he sent a rush of chakra. The claw suddenly moved and shifted in the air -- turning directly toward her from her lower left side. It seemed ready to scratch her, but with the power that Akumu had flowed into the technique he expected much worse to happen if it were able to land. He immediately prepared his shield, however, for the counter attack that would inevitably follow.

"Now THAT isn't what I declined." Set purred softly as her red aura enshrouded her body again before a faint pulse rippled across the sand that may have been unnoticed otherwise. the crimson aura started to shift changing color and a soft sigh escaped Set as the faintest sound of steam could be heard as the cut on her leg from the wind scythe technique sealed shut. The aura around had bloomed into orange and something about the color made her skin seem to radiate, healthy glossy, almost like a dream or genjutsu as the cat's natural sex appeal synergized with the aura now.
As Akumu launched his attack Set broke into a dash dropping to all-fours gliding across the sand elegantly as if flying. The sudden acceleration would cause her to largely miss the claw however as it caught her side slightly blood would spray up following the path from the shallow cuts. However, the black tiger stripes covering her body would visibly shudder like fire as Set intentionally took the blow rather than allowing her Wraithform to divert the damage.
With Akumu's shield up Set would leap on top of it using it as a handhold to flip herself over the snake's head and perch like a cat on the back of its neck in front of Valerys with a seductive grin before leaning in for a kiss. "I don't want to work in a group, but me and you. That's some carnage I could get behind~" (Inuzuka Charm)
Set's voice came out like silk as her bright red eyes seemed to glimmer with the orange aura. The cuts along her side visibly closing as steam hissed into the air, her aura accelerating her healing rate. Something about her just all the more alluring before she pecked the red-head's cheek and hopped over her sliding down the snake's back to his tail before hoping off.
"So, I'd like to reopen negotiations, Queen."

Suddenly Set took off in a sprint and was hit with part of Akumu's attack, although something inside of her had changed and now she sprinted across the desert as if it were nothing. The blood which covered her suddenly seemed to crawl slower from her skin as she jumped upon Akumu's shield in a flash and landed on his neck, looking at Valerys for a moment and attempting to woo her before jumping to the ground. Being an S-rank genjutsu specialist, however, she was not an easy person to charm. As Set dropped from Akumu's back, Valerys would already be forming the handseals for a new technique. If it was genjutsu that Set wanted now, then it was genjutsu she would get.
Sending her chakra throughout her body and consciousness, Valerys waved her hand in Set's direction and attempted to send her chakra throughout the air. It seemed to infuse everything around her and make it fall under her sensory spell, although Valerys knew that the physical reality would stay the same. "I have evil allies. If I have the protection and influence of my organization, then why would I need to make a deal with you?" As she said it, Valerys smiled -- inviting Set to explain why. It had been one thing if she wanted to be a better of their group, but if Set was a lone ranger than why bother with Valerys at all? It made her uneasy.
Set would notice, if the genjutsu began to take hold, that Valerys was using a new genjutsu known as Vision of Entropy (DC 30). Suddenly the chaos and madness of the Abyss would seem to be seeping from the earth. Although perhaps for her this would have normally been an interesting sight, the image would suddenly conjure up fear and possibly make her shaken -- despite her assertions earlier that she feared nothing.

Akumu cursed to himself as the woman rushed him, avoiding the attack and jumping on his shield and around him. He wasted no time in reacting, bringing his other two hands together in the appropriate handsigns and moving into the training once more. He trusted that Valerys could handle her for now. He let his chakra move throughout his body and infuse his arms -- once again summoning to them the power and presence of the wind that existed in the environment that surrounded them. The sun seemed to weigh heavy on his scales, warming his body and enhancing his chakra output.
He would turn and ride Valerys around so that they were facing the woman, and she would notice that the wind was once again beginning to form that claw around Akumu's lower right hand. This time, however, as the black cobra continued to push his chakra into his arm it became bigger and bigger. There seemed to be an enormous rush of wind beginning to infuse his arm, and this time the claw appeared to be the size of a person. Akumu reared it back and prepared it -- just in case he had to let it loose.
As he held the claw back and watch Set, Akumu concentrated on controlling the technique. He forced the wind to continue forming into the appropriate shape, and this time infused it with even more physical power. He knew that when the claw hit something, it would need to be able to disperse into tiny blades in order to bypass an opponent's armor and defenses. He concentrated on shaping every blade of wind, forming into tiny little swords and daggers in his mind. Soon all of this wind and power was swirling around him, making him feel very powerful indeed. "At the very least she makes us stronger," Akumu said to Valerys and made her chuckle.

Set confidently strut around the snake as the orange aura enhanced her visage however as the orange slowly shifted away to red again, she noticed her appeal lessen to normal. As she stopped and looked over herself she noticed the black bubbling appearing on the ground that reminded her of the void that she dwelled in during the years between her hosts' mature periods. She would concentrate for a moment as she channeled the mana inside her through the appropriate coils to once again shift her aura to orange, returning to her alluring state with a smile, though she noticed this time that the blackness vanished after the orange aura bloomed.
"Because I am unique, as you know from your lover, but I am much more pliable to do things of a darker nature. After all I am the Stone Shadow, just of a less lawful nature." Set spoke clear yet soft wanting to come to some arrangement, after wall if Krystal had already completed some of the legwork why shouldn't Set be able to charm the shapeshifter as well.
As the cuts on her side finished healing she would happily purr touching her side as the snake attempted to fire the technique once more. This time however Set would let the black stripes loose to enshroud her body in blackness leaving Set as shadow with crimson eyes in an orange aura, the color accentuating her curves as she walked toward the incoming claw before stepping back and around the claws. The claws would land once again but their power would be severely dampened as they soared past leaving light amounts of blood to drip down her black exterior before melding into it. The rushing wind caused the smoke-like shadows to shimmer with her hair as she stepped closer.
"Plus if my queen accepts another she would have three." Set purred playfully implying Valerys would have both Krystal and herself as she bowed to the shapeshifter. "Given our evil I'm sure I could return whenever I wished, and in return I'll concede Krystal when you wish. Even right now."

As Set explained her case, Valerys would be dismounting Akumu and landed back on her feet among the earth. As she did so, she would be putting the spear back on to her back and holding her hands out -- looking at them and remembering the power that she had learned from her master in the Land of Water. He was an Aikido master and had taught her the art of preparation, reading an opponent's movements and preparing one's self accordingly. She looked that way at Set right now and tried to determine what her next course of action would be, and to be prepare herself just in case the impulsive woman came toward her once more. Just as he had taught her, Valerys loosened her muscles and felt the chi moving throughout her body and prepared to throw it in a second if necessary.
"You drive a hard bargain," Valerys said, "So then what do you want from me? To let your evil return and do what you want, when you please?" It was a tough choice to make. Valerys was not so fond of Set's brand of impulsivity, and mixed with her evil and chaotic nature it could end up coming back to haunt her. Not to mention that she did not trust her, which might have been the biggest issue. As if to prove this point, Valerys continued to rely on the strength that had been given to her by her Aikido master -- seeing him and the time that they spent training in her mind's eye. The many hours that he had beat her down until she had learned to predict his movements, relaxing her body to come back at him with her own attacks. Now it was paying off...
Dirge of the Soul Rank: C Skill: Ninjutsu, Vocal Effect: A tune so sad must stop and listen. Special: Singing Drawback: Effects enemies and allies alike. Description: A Mind Affecting technique.

They will not being able to perform skills or violent actions during this time, they must simply listen. This skill lasts for three posts or until the bard stops singing. Limit: Art of the Bard. 'Singing'.

As Valerys dismounted from his back, Akumu watched her talk with the woman and decided that they must be at an impasse -- why else would the physical techniques have subsided so much? Akumu began to sing a short song in order to pass the time -- a sad melody which he hummed that he had picked up during his time enslaved in the Abyss. Through his snake-like jaws came the sad tune of some forgotten song, and as he did this Akumu began to fill the song with his chakra as he was prone to do. Although he didn't consider himself an artist, Akumu used his chakra to enhance his music and his art through unique methods. Suddenly his chakra would be moving through the sound waves and into the air, and eventually even into the ears of his companions.
Those who heard the tune and mixed with Akumu's chakra would begin to feel his influence, and the essence of his song. The more of his energy that Akumu put into it, the more and more the song seemed to hold back the two women. The sadness seeming to overwhelm with the force of the chakra, and cause all violent actions to seem wrong (a strange sensation for both Valerys and Set to be sure). He hissed in between lyrics and created his own voice within the song, transforming a dirge that he had first heard through demon lips.

As the attacks ended and Valerys hopped down to speak, the shadows receded back into the tiger stripes covering Set's body although the same action once again made the orange alluring glow fade replaced by her typical red. The cat didn't notice at first while listening to the shapeshifter's words, although her inquiries saddened the chaotic soul a bit.
"What I want, is to have fun with you and just you. Whether it be murder subterfuge arson I don't really care." Set admitted hoping to paint the picture that she was in fact a very simple soul with no desires for a kingdom, simply enjoyment.
"I want a partner in crime not an organization. You run your cabal and I'll be your... secret weapon." Set spoke playfully the last bit exciting her and pleasing her enough with the word play to make her aura glow a brilliant orange along her skin as she stepped closer to Valerys stopping roughly a foot away before holding out her hand.
"My pact is with and for... you alone. If you'll have me." Set purred gently showing a much more stable side, one that Waru herself had more experience with.

Compasso Rank: "B" Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: A Flip kick aimed at the opponent's head. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: The Compass. A low or high, rolling aerial Meia Lua, also known as Armada Solta. This is a great asset to Capoeira. Compasso is done with one supporting hand on the ground, or purely aerial. Objective of Compasso is to attack or counterattack the opponent by surprise. Technique may be used on a ground, low, or high attack. The head of the opponent is the point of impact along with several other points. Normally one uses the Compasso with the supporting hand on the ground in a quick short surprise move against an opponent who has just engaged in a Negativa or other ground navigation technique. In this case, the user will try to get the opponent on the chest or head with the heel. The Aerial Compasso is normally used as an attack with the heel to the head of the opponent. Can be performed from Ginga or from Zero stance. Try to use the whole body, synchronized as a lever to help power the move. Make a swimming arch with the supporting hand as the user reaches for the ground with the palm of their hand, bending the upper body forward. At the same time, bend the leg of the same side as the supporting hand while using the other leg to thrust the user up and forward. The supporting leg, which was also the pivot leg, will give the user the final power to twist the body in a forward aerial lateral attack with the heel. The user should land as in a Chibata, ending the move as a Negativa. For the aerial, explode the attacking leg with the whole body. In all versions, though, make sure to apply the concept of the hands used as a goal for the attacking heels. Throw the supporting hand downward like in a crawl swimming style, the target will be locked the moment the user passes with their hand in front of it. Limit: Must learn from a Master of Capoeira. Must know Ginga.

Suddenly Akumu's song stopped as Set made her statements, which made the entire atmosphere seem to shift. And although Akumu's melody had been sad now it felt, in some ways, like the ambience was even darker. Set claimed that she wanted to be like Valerys' partner in crime, her secret weapon. Valerys looked at Set's hand and wondered if this was a trap. Just in case she prepared her own body, letting her physical energy move through her and begin to replicate the footwork for a technique that she had learned from her master Alfonso in the Land of Sound. Although an benevolent man, he was skilled in the art of Capoeira and had taught her many things. These opportunities she kept in the back of her mind even now.
She took Set's hand in her own and never forgot the Compasso technique that her master had taught her. If Set tried anything suspicious then Valerys would have no choice but to trigger her muscles and energy, leaning down to the ground and placing her free hand on the ground -- swinging her foot in an arch over her body just as Alfonso had taught her. Sitting in his humble dojo, the two of them often meditated before getting down to work and she remembered the day that he fought her with this technique over and over. She would attempt to capture her from the front, but he'd quickly bat her away with his heel.
Now, holding Set's hand, Valerys said, "Alright then. I'll call upon you when I need you. I don't like working with people I don't know very well, so we'll have to change that." Valerys gave her a sly smile and continued focusing on the woman's body. Still concentrating on her footwork and the build up of energy within her legs... just in case. Valerys leaned forward then and kissed Set, finally letting her have what she wanted. "Now then," Valerys said, "can I have Krystal back?" It had been so long since she had seen her -- other than that time in the tavern which had been only for a second. Finally, after all of this training and deal-making, Valerys was pleased to finally be seeing the Tsuchikage once more.
Fiery Web Rank: "C" Skill: Supplementary Effect: User's webs are highly flammable. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: When any section of the user's web type Jutsu is subject to even a single point of fire damage, the entire effects bursts into flames, causing 16 Armour Points of fire damage to all within its area. The fire continues to burn for a full round, damaging all who enter the area during that time, but not restricting their movement or grappling them. After 1 round, the web is destroyed. If the affected web type Jutsu does not normally cause damage when set alight, creatures within the area instead suffer 6 Armour Points of Fire Damage. Normally any fire can set webs alight and burn away one 2-meter foot square in 1 round. All creatures within flaming webs take 8 Armour Points of fire damage. Jutsu Handseal/Chakra Increase: 1/2 Rank. Limit: Must be an Ōgumo.

As the two ladies continued to talk, Akumu decided to end his sad tune and work on his webbing once again. It was clear that they were not being as offensive as before. Akumu reached into his cobra-like mouth with his upper right hand, still strapped with the shield, and pulled out a strand of webbing from deep in his throat. He allowed his chakra and saliva to build up deep within his jaws, forming a lengthy strand which Akumu dangled in front of his eyes. He stared at it and began to fill it with chakra from his hands -- thinking about his own fire techniques that he could use. Akumu was aware that his webs were fairly easy to set ablaze and he wondered if he could even enhance this ability? So he focused on the fire release as he poured his chakra into his webbing.
The webs soaked it up eagerly and soon began to pour out with energy. Akumu could even seem to sense a warmth radiating from them as he continued to hold the strand. He suddenly formed handseals with his lower hands and breathed a small amount of fire on to the webs, igniting them in a puff of flames that was larger than he was used to. Akumu knew that he was at least making some progress and reached into his mouth prepared to do it again. A few more tries at this and he could possibly even create web jutsus enhanced with the power to ignite.

Set looked into Valerys' eyes as she seemed so slow to trust her, a deep exhale slowly let out starting to become annoyed. However her agreement swiftly changed that, and the kiss following made Set's aura burst flowing with yellow energy as she gasped soft against Valerys' lips. While the spirit was foreign, the body responded to her lover, her skin glowing and if not for her dark complexion and the yellow light she would be red.
"Heh we're both looking forward to next time, just promise me a next time." Set purred trusting the shapeshifter before touching her cheek and kissing again. Slowly the red faded from her hair like blood dripping off as Set settled within, the faint tremble in her lips signaling Krystal's return as her gold eyes flit open. As she saw Valerys her arms would encircle her lover hugging her tight.
