The Cyclopean Castle [Event]

[Koori.]

Jumping up on the Iron disc, we managed to dodge some fierce shit. Non the less, Misa was now legit holding our lives in her hands while we rose up and to about 50 meters. We started flying towards the castle, even though there was a threat a right here before us. I didn't really know what Misa was up to, but I went along with it for now.

Jumping on the iron disc, tehy made are way through the castle. Jiru made sure he let his two allies know if any danger was approaching or was in the distance. His Byakugan still had been active, so it gave his vision three hundred and sixty degree's of vision and he could see up to onw hundred and thirty meters. Following where Misa-sensei was taking them, he kept his guard up preparing for whatever.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A simple technique and the basic technique that must be learned before going into the more advanced techniques of Gosei Ryuu. The user slashes their sword with such strength and fierce force that a blade of force is shocked out with the blade knocking into whoever stands in its way capable of cutting capabilities as if it were a regular sword. When first learned this technique is only as strong as if a user was stricken by a simple bat. When the user learns the next rank, the "B" rank, the force feels like the user was cut like an actual sword. When the user learns the last rank, the highest rank, "A" rank" the force cannot be stopped by a block. The best option is to dodge. Depending on the user's class level depends on the strength of the technique.

That is where you all can post. narutoforumrp.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=landofriver&thread=67927 SPOILER: Click to show Posting order for the people in this thread is as follows. 1.) Corvus 2.) Ryuuto 3.) DJ 4.) Genkaku The volatile ravens plummeted downwards, the numbers quite excessive to bring the tiny worms to ruin. Shock upon shock charred their figure, the orange creatures melting under the continued heat of the electricity. Upon the ground they formed into a puddle of ooze, bubbling and shifting for several seconds before coming to a complete halt. The tiny beasts were no more, but the enormous worm remained. Upon the completion of the futon technique, the winds darted towards the phallic monstrosity, cutting part of its body, but it simply reformed, the cut not quite damaging enough to cause lengthy damage. In that moment it stood without motion, entire body moving ahead only to be intercepted by a cone of furious force, cutting part of the upper body in half. This technique, quite more damaging than the futon, severed the body entirely. Yet, it still writhed upon the grounds, but it offered no more resistance and sunk into the grounds, both parts remerging with the ooze. One with the substance that had spawned it, the monstrosity disappeared from sight completely – no sign of a further strike, not yet at least. The path into the castle was free to enter as the growing wave subsided, splashing onto the ground. _____________________________________________ A trait most bizarre fell before the eyes upon entering the castle.

[/center]

Within, unfathomably, the area was of such massive size that it was all but impossible for the mind to comprehend how such a small structure can hold a space so large. No genjutsu were cast upon the grounds – the castle within by itself was larger than a mile, the distant spots shrouded in shadows. A pillar most intimidating stood one-hundred and ten meters from the distance, the bottom quite circular while, as the height increased, one triangle was placed upon another. It reached such height that the eyes could not see the end – for the ceilings were covered in a darkness, deep, no eye seeing beyond.

Bridges lead from door to door, at varying heights, the structures passing over one another, the numbers of the doors in the three dozens. Cylindrical protrusions extended from the walls at seemingly random locations, almost identical to appearance in the towers outside, but quite a bit shorter, none longer than three meters. Many doors awaited, each leading to a different locale within the castle.

The ooze seen outside clung closely to the walls, dripping downwards slowly, the sound –upon reaching the grounds- quite reminiscent of falling drops of rain. Cocoons stuck to the slime, writhing violently, as if to burst open. A terrible stench rose from the cocoons to fill nostrils – akin to a mixture of carcass and rotten wood.

Hallucinations Strike

[/i][/center][/size]

The entrance of Benjamin and Genkaku had succeeded, but each were befallen by the terrifying hallucinations that taint the minds of those who enter the Cyclopean Castle. None lasted more than a minute and were quick to leave the senses be. The hallucinations affecting the two different somewhat – the effect was quite peculiar, for it was no genjutsu, but some other, more wicked force at work.

Bejamin

In this hallucination, Bejamin’s mother and father stood before him, but no words were spoken. The two began to melt, terrible screams ringing out into the air, the sound echoing along the walls. First, the skin dripped onto the ground, revealing the pink flesh beneath, which sizzled and followed the skin, forming a thick puddle on the ground. The skeleton and innards remain as the two bodies fell onto the ground into the puddle skin and flesh had formed.

Genkaku

The hallucination befalling Genkaku’s mind was no less pleasant. An image of his daughter appeared most vivid as a hand tore forth from her innards, rupturing the belly, intestines falling onto the ground. Her eyes were red with tears and screams muffled as another hand burst forth from her throat, covering the mouth.

As quickly as the hallucinations began, they ended…

[Corvus]

Through his doujutsu, Anzai could tell that his attack was overkill, easily...but he'd rather expend more than needed and completely obliterate the target, than use less than required and risk it coming back to bite him later. Though his eyes, he watched the large slime-thing return from whence it came, and the white-haired one dash towards the castle. well at least I don't have to deal with that thing...I should stick close to that white haired guy and the girl with him...he seems strong, and everyone else is gone...well, except that one beat boxing guy...

The immediate threats gone, Anzai allowed himself to relax a bit and followed after the comparatively large man. He was moving forward rather swiftly, though it didn't seem like the girl with him could quite keep up. Moving swiftly, he caught up and tried to keep an eye out for anything else...off. He had a real soft-spot for kids...

[following Genkaku]

[~Cody]

Ryuuto's attack took a slice out of the beast but didn't do the trick. As the wound created only reformed. The blast from the lone Kusa nin annihilated the beast as it dissolved into the ground in front of them clearing the path ahead. The remaining group entered the castle. Its expansive interior was deceiving and its architecture was eccentric to say the least

Looking closely, the walls seemed to be covered in a similar slime to the beast they just faced at the entrance. Above the group, several cocoons hung from the ceiling suspended in this slime also. Weirdly enough, the air was thick with the slime as it dripped from the ceiling.

[vaix]

Once Ben was in the clear, he stopped beat boxing, and his form would suddenly pop into visual existence.

He paused at the entrance and surveyed the innards of the castle. It was huge, larger than he could have ever guessed (trolol).

"This is... pretty fuckin' amazing." He said softly, sweeping his head from side to side in an attempt to take in everything at once. Hearing footsteps behind him, the Seitetsu whirled to face the newcomer, his left hand instinctively clutching the handle of his sword at his hip. Entering the castle was none other than the white haired man that had been apart of the group at the bridge earlier, his daughter still firmly attached to him like a growth. Apparently he had survived, so the worm was most likely dead. That would be one less thing for him to worry about.

Of course, the ninja from Kusagakure provided his own set of problems. Ben wondered if he could trust him. It was not likely that the man would try anything in their current predicament, especially with the child so close to the action, but Ben knew better than to make assumptions about strangers. For now, Ben decided, he would leave the Grass ninja be, and simply keep an eye on him, as well as on everything else.

Ben was about to greet the man with a simple nod, but before he could make the gesture he saw a flicker of movement to his right. Instinctively jerking his head to deal with the new wildcard, Ben froze when he came face to face with...

"Mom? Dad?"

A cold sweat instantly took hold of his skin. Ben's brain refused to believe it, but his eyes saw clear as day the form of his two parents before him. And before he could bring his full mental faculties to bear, they began to die.


"No!" Ben lunged forward, arm futilely outstretched in an attempt to save his parents from their dissolving fate. As soon as he was in range he clutched at them, but his hands grabbed nothing, in fact as soon as his fingers made contact their forms dissipated in a cloud of colorful smoke, and in mere seconds even that was gone, leaving only Ben and his compatriots of chance within the room.

Body quaking despite itself, Ben shakily turned to face the others.

"D-did... did either of you see that?"

[Coal]

[/right]

Houkou turned to face the shaken boy, shaken himself inwardly, but Ko was swiftly removing that restriction. She was his only tie left to humanity, keeping him from becoming a beast, from falling into darkness.

“I had a similar dream, as I assume you had, since you too were staring at nothing. We should continue forward, before this slime jumps out at us as well.”

Houkou had forgotten that Three Tomoe still decorated his crimson eyes as he looked to the others and, for the most part, he decided to allow it to stay once he realized. It made no difference, but it comforted him as well, as he began to walk toward the pillar first.[/ul][/font]

[bg=antiquewhite][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,500,true] _____________________________________________ 5 Fifteen cocoons along the wall fell from the ooze onto the ground, a loud, a blunt sound ringing out into the air as they collapsed at various points throughout the castle hall, seven along the left wall and eight at the right, all spread at varying distances, some quite close to one another. The curious creations cracked, and furred-hands crept forth, pulling out the bodies of creatures most bizarre – the Shamblers, a very perversion to all natural creations with a figure distorted and warped. The Shamblers stood at six-feet high, the entirety of the body –except for the chest- covered in layers of expansive brown fur. Shoulders and chest were free of the fur, but rather covered in a thick, white exoskeleton cold to the touch. Their heads, rather than round, were in the shapes of triangles with three multi-lens green eyes placed at each ‘corners’. Right feet, rather than five-toed, was in the shape of a scythe-like talon bend outwards at a forty five degree angle. Its arms nearly matched the body in length, ending in clawed hands, each sharp talon eight inches long. Not yet entirely did the fifteen shamblers crawl forth from the cocoon – time still awaited to interrupt their rise. The closest cocoon was only twenty meters away, while others lingered further in the distance, at thirty, forty, and even eighty meters.

(OoC:bah, you make it hard to tell whether my Dancer's grace will work, I'll assume it does)

Anzai didn't take long to catch up with the others in his group. The Castle was magnificent in it's size and scale, even if the architecture gave him the creeps. The orange ooze loomed like some background object that stuck out just enough for you to think it's about to jump out at you at any moment...and it was haz-mat orange slime, just eww...

Before he could collect himself from the previous battle, a loud sound alerted him to a number of large things that seemed to have fallen from the ceiling. As Anzai activated his Byakugan again, long cracks appeared in one side of each and a fur covered hand emerged from within the objects. Cocoons it may seem. His dancer's grace perked up at seeing the beasts emerge from within._{pfft, not one's wearing sneakers} Fear driving him to act on instinct, he reperformed a series of handseals he had used not long before, and 100 large birds of light and electricity formed from the ether. He had them swarm at the monsters within the technique's range of 40 meters, focusing slightly more on those who were closer; the greater threat. This attack began shortly after the hand appeared and hopefully would slay or at least wound as many as possible.

<sub>hopefully this vague semblance of a strategy of yours will at least give the others a large enough opening to finish the things off





I wonder of they're as scared of you as you are of them?</sub>

[seraphimxix]

(Ryuuto missed his IIC, as did Corvus... though he posted today so there's no point in bitching about it. In any case I'm posting now, dude can wait until the next cycle to post. I'm not going to wait two more days to post, sorry.)

Ben was still disturbed by the vision that he'd just seen, but the revelation from the grass ninja that he too had seen one, as well as his seeming courage despite it, both reassured and shamed St. John. He had not been in the castle for more than ten minutes, and he was already falling to pieces.

Act like a shinobi, dammit.

Steeling himself, Ben gave the crimson eyed man an accepting nod. For now, he felt, they were allies.

Another stirring noise from the rear brought the sound ninja's attention around to face the large cocoons that were in the center of the room. Much to Ben's horror, they seemed to be hatching. What kind of evil was inhabiting this castle?

Ben drew his sword from it's sheathe and held it as his side, preparing for the worst. He had no intentions of being taken by surprise a second time. As he prepared to rush forward and take the initiative, a swarm of glowing creatures sped past him, slamming into the hatching eggs with electrifying intensity.

Ben glanced behind him to spot another new-comer to the fray, one of the men from the bridge. if he remembered correctly, there was at least one more who should have been arriving soon. The more the better.

Now somewhat more confident than before, Ben utilized a shunshin technique to close the distance to the eggs, and raised his sword above his head. He would attack the first surviving egg that was closest to him, bringing his duel-bladed katana down in a vertical slam that, coupled with the special sword's chakra effect, would most likely obliterate it. Once it was destroyed, he would immediately move on to the next one and do the same thing, assuming it was close enough.

[~Cody]

Murphy's law at work here. The cocoons fell from the ceiling coated in the slime The quivering masses soon burst revealing the beasts within. The room was filled with these cocoons if they weren't dealt with they would soon be outnumbered.

Ryuuto wanted to jump in but it seemed the others were faster at the draw. He wouldn't be far behind. Focusing chakra to his feet, he took to the slick walls. The other combatants seemed to go for the closer cocoons and the monsters therein. From the walls, he transferred to leaping from the circular protrusions his chakra holding him firm to the vicious surface as he moved ahead of the group.

His tactic seemed foolish as he leaped forward away from the wall into the cocoons that stood 30 meters from the group. Descending he furiously made handseals in the air and as he landed he slammed his left[non-handmouth] hand to the ground as wind around him burst out twisting and swirling violently. The maelstrom slashed anything within twenty meters of his position at its full expansion it kept most things from entering unharmed. He kept his eyes ahead on the cocoons that not been dealt with.

[bg=antiquewhite][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,500,true] _____________________________________________ 6 Corvus As the shamblers had not yet risen entirely, many of the birds, in their great number, clashed with the cocoons, the lightning absorbed quite harmlessly. Several had struck the extended limbs of the beasts, the arms and shoulders of the four closest monstrosities struck. The damage was rather minimal, as numerous of the ravens had simply struck the cocoons and their shocks were not mighty enough to cause lethal damage. Hallucination struck Anzai in a manner quite similar to the other two shinobi, manifesting in the form of utterly terrifying images. After his hands formed the series of seals to create the thunderstorm ravens, an image of a childhood friend appeared, Sakurai Michiyo. The comrade appeared, the hallucination quick to act, but the form lacked eye-balls. Instead, a snake crawled forth from the right eye socket, tearing the upper face apart as is proceeded forth, blood and cerebral fluid dripping onto the ground. As quickly as the hallucination came, it disappeared, not leaving a hint at its origin Exar The beat-boxer was carried to a cocoon through a body flicker, the rapid movement carrying him before the shamblers fully rose. Bizarrely discolored, light blue blood splashed upwards into his face as the blade came down, impaling one of the beasts, a hideous cry rising into the air as the life was torn from the abomination. A further target, yet another rising beast, is fifteen meters away, quite the distance and out of the blades reach , Ryuuto was already underway to the beast ahead of the Otogakure shinobi Ryuuto Brazenly Ryuuto closed the distance in a rather spectacular manner, soaring through the air his hands performed a dance of seals, calling forth raging winds upon completion. The winds cut cocoon and skin of several beasts – one which lurked twenty meters from the previous position of the group, the one at thirty meters that he had targeted, and one ten meters ahead, the large sphere of the assault embracing them all. The monstrosities roared as the winds cut fur and flesh, blue blood beginning to flow. Yet, the attack was not fatal, their lives remaining. Hallucination was yet to affect this one… Coal The clones begun their charge, the great numbers offering an advantage, cutting through the shamblers at forty and fifty meters before they could fully rise, life fading from the eyes of the four beasts. Those further away, due to the distance, had time to fully rise and face the assailant bunshins, movement underway. _____________________________________________ As Ryuuto had attacked the cocoons that were thirty meters from the group, and Bejamin struck at one close to him after the shunshin –twenty meters away-, the beat-boxer was likely in the twenty meters radius of the Toujitakumi’s cutting winds. The shamblers at sixty-five meters towards the left erupted into a series of seals, the hands moving quite rapidly for a beast so thick fingered and large. Before the clones had arrived the seals were completed, and the hands slammed furiously onto the ground. The very grounds began to rumble within a radius of fifteen meters, shaking and fluctuating violently from side to side. The dance of the earth, while lacking in lethality, had not been used to harm, but rather in an attempt to unbalance nearby clones. One flaw had occurred in the performing of this technique, for the shamble behind was within the radius of the shaking, tumbling to the side. It seemed as if these creatures were not the most intelligent when it came to cooperation. The shambler at eighty meters to the right, quite far away from where the clones had been created and begun , rose without interrupted and performed a string of seals of its own. Chakra poured into the earth and formed twenty thin needles of stone on the grounds two meters before the monstrosity. Into the air the senbon fired at an upwards angle to connect with clones that approached this shambler. In total, five of the shamblers had been slain. Eighty meters to the left the beast chose a rather unorthodox method to retort – it turned on the heel and simply fled, quite aware that in this situation the greater numbers of the foes(which was originally the advantage of the shamblers) would degrade in a manner quite grim. Others had taken a quite similar approach, the beasts began to flee, most climbing up the walls, hands at a rapid move to carry them out of harms way – all fled except for the two which defended through their doton using methods. The method in which they had appeared was quite detrimental, in the cocoons.

Three of these monsters were harmed by his wind assault. One was just in front of him bleeding blue blood and roaring. They were still plenty of the beasts ahead of them. But the beasts in the distance began to flee the open hallway. The others had made short work of the first ranks of monsters. Ryuuto had yet to defeat one.

Ryuuto sprung forward closing the distance between himself and the monster into intimate range. Ryuuto thrust his left leg forward slamming his foot into the unarmored stomach of the beast. The mighty basic of red leg would knock the wind out of the beast stifling his movements. After impact, he planted his left foot on the ground. Also pivoting his right foot and body to match his left foot. For a brief moment he faced away from the beast. But as soon as anyone would notice his stance, he thrust his right foot upwards in an explosive motion slamming into it's chest. The blow was an adept red leg kick its strength wound knock the beast into the air with its impact.

(Mind if I join a bit late? )

Vanity arrived at the front of the general area that led towards the great castle before her. She heard a couple rumors about the place, and decided to pay a little visit. She still had no weapons on her to defend herself with, so this little detour trip had that goal of weapons in mind. Vanity didn't really feel like entering the castle though, not immediately anyway. She would rather check out the surrounding area, cause a bit of chaos or something, and then proceed wherever.

Vanity had a basic attire on, a black shirt covered her upper body, a white jacket warming her shoulders. She had some light gray skinny jeans on her legs, while her foot was covered with some white boots. All her nails were painted black today, though it was a shiny black that reflected quite a bit of light. Her dark hair was otherwise in a ponytail with a white rubber band. Small 3 cm diameter hoop earrings of a silver luster dangled from from ears, resembling small angel halos. A black leather belt bracelet was around Vanity's right wrist, loose, but not enough to all to her elbow should her arm be raised.

She didn't bother going to the bridge, too boring, instead, she proceeded to the marshes, where dead corpses could be seen in the distance. Perhaps a swordsman that perished there would have a nice used sword available for her taking...

Also, to keep from surprises, Vanity had activated her sensor ability, checking the entire area within 50 meters of her for any signs of energy or life.

(Could I get a separate thread for the marshes and wherever else I go? Please and thankies )

[bg=antiquewhite][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,500,true] _____________________________________________ 7 The single beast Ryuuto had intercepted was stricken, legs and feet colliding to set it into the air – a wretched groan left the monstrosities mouth as it crashed into the grounds. It moved no more, for all life had been torn out of it, and the escape had failed. But a single one of the fleeing shamblers had been slaughtered, in addition to those by John and the grass bunshin, but the rest fled unscathed into the depths of the Cyclopean castle. Lights diminished completely. Eyes simply could not see anymore. Grounds began to shake wildly as they rumbled akin to a sleeping beast, the castle grounds dance so furious that foothold was difficult to remain. The very rock around the pillar began to split apart, forming a crevice ten meters wide and long. A bone-biting cold shot upwards from the crevice, a gust of wind blowing for but a moment, the cold difficult to bear. Quite unusual, for the earths to behave so oddly, but nothing within the Castle was predictable, for it had a mind of its own, acted as whim ordered. The light lacked, so only the rumbling could be felt. That melody from before begun its otherworldly song again, pitches fluctuating from one end to the other. At its height, the tune was sharply painful to the ears, and at its lowest point, one could feel their very bones shake and ears twitch. The sound originated from that crevice which had been formed, the closer proximity than before, when the shinobi were on the outside, allowing for a louder ring. That melody came not to an end, but continues with its sickening tune. As the light still had not returned, the tune rang through the darkness. A dim, green illumination allowed for the sight of the shinboi to return as the rumbling of the grounds ended. A green glow revealed the surroundings, vision quite a bit more difficult than before. The melody continued and the crevice lied before the eyes. A flicker of movement arose from the opening that had been formed – the orange ooze crept forth, but not in the liquid shape, but in the form of four semi-solid tentacles each two meters thick. Rather disgusting features decorated the slithering things. Human arms, legs, fingers, heads, teeth, and eyes stuck to the rightmost tentacles of ooze, the skin rotten and bones brittle. The one directly to its left was covered entirely in human eyes, few spots left unattended, giving it a strangely vigilant appearance. The tentacle following that was covered in the heads of humans, the facial features of each distorted into varied expressions of horrors. The last tentacle, it lacked any such notable features, but for how much longer? Rumblings of the ground were not the only signs of the castles liveliness. The countless doors swung open wildly before shutting, that process continuing, not continuing, the blunt sound of the repeatedly slamming doors intermingling with the bizarre melody. Perhaps the engagement with the tentacle could be avoided, for countless doors spanned the area of the castle at varying heights, yet they continued to open and close. The music rung strong from within that crevice, the source seemingly quicker to reach in those depths, but leaping downwards would be quite dangerous – for the depths are difficult to determine, and that slithering ooze is quick to lash out. Choices await, to face that new things of orange ooze or to chose another way. _____________________________________________ Skuld The corpses had been thrown into the marshes, hence lacked goods and anything of worth. No blades, no weaponry upon their figures. Sensing abilities felt nothing, for this Castle was truly bizarre, the creatures difficult to spot or even feel – at least out here. Countless eyes were watching from the distance, that one could feel, for the sensation of being observed is instinctual. Their location was difficult to determine. To remain out in the open, that shall be quite risky. The doors of the castle lingered in the distance. _____________________________________________

The tall man with the child on his back told him to keep himself under control, or else face possibly dire consequences. Good advice, especially for the genin. And having his existence acknowledged helped him calm down a bit. And seeing the child smile and wave at him like she did revitalized his spirits enough that he was able to perceive that his creations did little to harm the beasts, though the limbs would almost doubtlessly be paralysed, or at least sluggish from being bombarded by so much electrical energy.

But all this was assuming the beasts to be of flesh and blood like those who opposed them. Irregardless, Anzai began a second set of handseals, determined that this time he would prove that he could be a boon to the group. But as his two hands blurred together in a storm of motion, he stopped when he looked up.

Standing there before him stood his childhood friend, Michiyo. But what was she doing here? That alone made him suspicious. But not of the phantasm before him; nay, instead he feared that it was his memory that lied. Could it? He was torn between the image before him which seemed as real as day, and the memories he had held dear for so long.

She wasn't there before, was she? She began to calmly walk towards him, as her eyes suddenly disolved, as if they had never been in the first place. Her beautiful emerald eyes were missing, and yet he still questioned he validity of his memories. 'they stole my eyes' she said. But he words never left her mouth. Instead, her mouth moved in a random, unreadable fashion, and a translucent dark grey box with rounded edges appeared, preceding all her movements.

She laughed in a voice that reminded him of an imp that stole a cursed, sentient mask from a land where the moon had an unpleasant face and threatened to fall on three days time. A serpent slowly emerged from one of the empty sockets and slithered into he other. It transversed the whole of her skull, appearing as a cylindrical buldge beneath her skin.

The increasingly disturbing girl, still walking forward said in a clear voice "Make us whole". The box was gone, but the laugh from earlier returned, repeating endlessly. The walls and floor seemed to disappear and reapear in large, triangle shaped swaths with clean edges, allowing the sky to be seen behind them. The laugh grew choppy, everything did. Time moved and it stopped, the laugh continued as a song meant to sooth souls repeated endlessly backwards in his head, out of sync with the laughter.

A traveling merchant appeared Michiyo's place for a second, only to be replaced by a disturbing statue about Anzai's height, garbed in green and with a disturbing expression on its face. And Michiyo returned, the world continued to lag and break before he genin's eyes. The merchant was back for a moment, no longer smiling as he was before, but with a still smiling, but undoubtedly angry experson.

As Michiyo returned another time, her head was ruptured as the serpent burst forth and latched onto Anzai's throat, before splitting in two from the tail to the neck and becoming the arms of he mask merchant, still wearing his angry smile. The man lifted him into the air and began to throttle the boy. Anzai reached out to grab the arms of he man and noticed that the hands he had weren't his.

The merchant was gone, but Anzai was still in the air, floating now. The poor boy suddenly burst into flame and was electrocuted as he began to choke for air. Still without air, Anzai fell to the ground, burning and electricity flooding through him, but without the breath to scream in pain.

Feeling the cold of death approaching, he looked over to see a purple cat with a singular eye where two should be, a massive grin, and a face wider than it ought to be. And it spoke, "Hehe, You've suffered a terrible fate, now haven't you?". "Pfft, you're just making things worse, fucking cat". This second voice came from near the cat, it's origin being a woman, or rather girl, about Anzai's height, dressed in a black dress with no socks or shoes.

"If you want his damn brat to wake up, you have to use force!" As the girl's voice picked up, she launched a high-kick to Anzai's head, which was now up where it normally was, and still connected to his shoulder at that. Just before it connected, he exclaimed "This cant be happening!" His eyes wide with fear. The shock of the kick felt twice as real as anything before, which had felt plenty real, and knocked him both back to reality and onto his rear.

What on earth was that?. As he came back to reality, Anzai saw the beasts running for the hills, just as the music returned and the light vanished. Fruit to ignore the cresendos of the music, Anzai reactivated his Byakugan, but oddly enough saw nothing. As the green light began to illuminate the area, his eyes allowed him to see in little more detail than those without unique eyes could. But his advantage was that he could see much farther, and beyond what the others saw, he saw...
