They were three men who loosely knew about one another from their previous exploits and constant need for battle and blood. Sado knew Vegeta from his time as a sell-sword, he came up against and fought alongside many people on the field of battle. One of those people was a very short man named Vegeta he was an older man who Sado began to look up to, no pun intended on the height difference. Sado was young, he started sell-sword work at about the age of fifteen which meant he met Vegeta at a very impressionable time in his life a time when he needed someone, anyone, just a friend. It turned out Vegeta had a similar start to Sado they had both left their families, either by force or by a need for exploration. Vegeta knew Uta through a long drawn out battle. Vegeta was someone Uta had met a couple of years beforehand on a random battlefield after clashing, the two realized they shouldn’t be enemies. From there the two kept contact about the world around them and their work. They were each broken in their own little ways but they saw either injustice in the world and had a need to correct it, or for some, they just saw a power vacuum that they wanted to exploit.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><em>The First Story Arc - Year 811</em></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><em><strong><span style="font-size: 9px">The State of Affairs</span></strong></em></p></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"></p></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">The three began their journey in Kushasogen a small landmark in the Land of Fire. This landmark wasn't chosen due to some kind of motive or reason it just happened to be where Sado and Vegeta stopped to discuss their state of affairs and what came next. It turned out that the idea for the clan had come from another person Vegeta knew Uta. Sado didn't know this man, but he trusted Vegeta and his judgment. Once the clan was formed, Uta was introduced to the other founder Sado, but an issue was immediately in the air. Uta was the head of the Claymore. A family that was a direct enemy and rival of Sado’s tribe. In essence, the Claymore warriors were the very reason Sado had been exiled from his tribe and left to the world at large. The tension was in the air but the two had enough control and respect for what their clan could stand for that they were able to put their family’s past and problems to the side for the time being. It was a very hard compromise to make. Sado made Uta agree to an ultimatum, never cause violence or trauma to the people of the Golden Sabbath's lands and they could work together. They were two monsters hiding in plain sight, not quite human but emotional none the less.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">At this point, the three men separated temporarily to go about their own business and to build the clan in their own specific ways. Each man had a vision in their mind and a picture of what they wanted their clan to be. This meant that the power structure wasn't so much a hierarchy everyone had their own ideas and Sado, Uta and Vegeta each had the same justification and the same right to build up their organization in the way they saw fit. First, let's talk about Sado. He was a fractured man, a tangled mess of misplaced justice and wrath. A man with a strong moral code built up through years of savage beatings and shunning. He thought the best course of action was to unite the lands under one banner. Under one organization. So he set to work healing the sick and infirm, gathering up the poor, the grief-stricken the ones who had been left behind by the failure of the Freehold and he began to instill hope in the hearts of each person he met. He went to the Graveyard of Sin and spoke with another clan the White Lotus and set terms for alliance speaking with each of their people including Fu, Korra, and Kilik. He bound the lands together binding Kushasogen, Forskellig, Urin, and the Graveyard of Sin.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">During this came the actions of Uta and Vegeta these two men knew that a show of strength was what the Golden Sabbath needed. They knew this world only spoke in one language; violence. They sought out another powerful clan Black Order, found on the Crimson Isle. Uta led a two-man mission and here they ran into another said to be a powerful and upcoming clan. Their mission was simple and their objective was clear: Defeat the clan entirely and get them to submit under the flag of the Sabbath. They needed to prove to the world that the Golden Sabbath was the only clan strong enough to lead them in a revolution. The clan leader was before them the moment they showed up, along with a tattooed man and another uninteresting character. Their leader was a loud mouth and had the Sharingan, not just any Sharingan one that had evolved to a Mangekyō state, so Uta instantly attacked with the thoughts that the man would give him a thrill. Unfortunately, Uta and his personal summon Momo were able to pressure and defeat the man within a few moments, clutching the mission in the process. In unison to this valiant deed on Uta's part, Vegeta had taken it upon himself to fight the strongest person he found there an apparent Jinchuuriki. He had heard tales of their strength and that they held the Bijuu inside of them. What better way to prove their strength then defeat one of the monsters that Razed the Great and Powerful Hanguri Freehold and their capital Chungsu. If he could tame this man and his beast, it would prove that he could tame the world. It happened in an instant Vegeta looked toward his opponent forcing his intent upon him-... and that was enough. There wasn't even a true battle just a glance and the mighty Jinchuriki fell before him. Their ranks were broken and defeat was imminent Uta and Vegeta drew up a treaty and left the lands once the treaty was signed and agreed to. The Sabbath had them under their foot, but they’d probably be back to check in. The Crimson Isle marked with blood became the sole property of the Golden Sabbath the two left and Vegeta directed them toward the Witchwood Arena.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Back to Sado, he was about to rest in Kushasogen after all of his deeds over the last few days. He was tired and had done much. He had built wells, he healed the sick and infirm, he gathered up the hope and dreams of those poor people found there and placed that entire weight upon his own shoulders. There he found a man roughly his same age with lavender hair going through the base that Vegeta had created for them. Sado attacked immediately. This man, he wouldn't take from him what he had worked so hard to begin building. He poisoned the man with a Truth Serum and began to ask a barrage of questions. During a short back and forth the man who said he was Trunks claimed to only want peace. It was the truth, that was all he could speak to Sado because of the Serum forced upon him. Eventually, Sado calmed himself and Trunks and he decided that he could join the Golden Sabbath. Trunks soon learned of the valorous and selfless deeds of Sado and resolved to follow him for a while to at least see what the Golden Sabbath truly meant. The two were soon asked to return a hunting party that had ventured into the Haunted Forest many miles north of Forskellig. They obliged and set out Sado and Trunks traveled with haste making their way to these lands in a day. Unknown to Sado or anyone else for that matter Trunks had ulterior motives for his exploration. He was seeking out his lost father, who had abandoned his family right before his birth. He was holding this secret within but it caused him to sort of imprint towards Sado the first strong, male figure in his life unbeknownst to him they were the same age which made this a bit awkward.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">There they found something appalling. A burnt laboratory used for human torture, experimentation, and murder. Sado would be having none of that in any land near his. He quickly set out to find the missing individuals and what he found was a group of previously tortured and traumatized people. <em><strong>NO!</strong></em> He screamed in his own mind. He was met by a man who told him his name was Grenth and they discussed what had happened. Grenth had saved these people from a man named Axl and Sado determined that Grenth from this point forward would work for the Golden Sabbath. This wasn't a request this was an order and after some minor negotiation Grenth relented and agreed. Trunks and Sado returned these people to their lands and returned home. In the course of these actions, Vegeta made his way to the Witchwood Arena. Uta wasn't one for constant battle so he bid Vegeta adieu and went his own way. Vegeta fought his first combatant a man named Laxus. He seemed arrogant, and prideful believing himself the strongest. A large-scale battle took place with Vegeta finally cinching battle by surrounding himself in an ethereal chakra armor creating a massive construct with which to attack. With one devastating blow, he threw his opponent to the ground and called forth the next opponent. What stepped out from the shadows was another Jinchuriki. It seemed Vegeta was creating a pattern. He would have laughed if he wasn't so focused on the battle and danger at hand. What followed was a battle larger and more drawn out then even his previous one. This Jincuriki was much stronger than the first one he fought. At least nine times stronger, and he proved to be too much. Vegeta was struck full on by a world-shaking attack and forced to the ground. His pride faltered for a moment as he realized he'd need to become stronger. This was a beast that could be compared to the one who razed the mighty Chungsu. He set himself on a path for home after using Sage Mode to heal himself enough to move.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Uta had found himself exploring, looking for the next nice place to lay his head for the night when he began to hear a rumor. He found this rumor while roaming the lands as more and more he heard this growing story of a goddess in Theodora rising in power. He thought the Golden Sabbath could use someone like that someone so strong they were being compared to a goddess. What he found was nothing. A myth perpetrated and passed along and created by what he saw as a frightened woman. He tried to set a meeting with this woman but was ignored for days as his hunger grew so did his anger at being stood up. He would snuff out this rumor, and create his own. There was no goddess only a frightened woman who couldn't protect her own. He murdered and ate numerous people leaving one lone man alive. Uta told this man to spread his story. To tell the deeds of Uta, The Silver Eyed King and that if he ever heard of this "goddess" again he would tear her apart and eat her like he had done to these people. He too like Vegeta set himself on a path to home.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Through the deeds of each individual, the Golden Sabbath had grown in name and fame across the world.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><em>Second Story Arc - Year 811</em></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><em><strong><span style="font-size: 9px">Ashikaga's Gambit</span></strong></em></p></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"></p> <p style="text-align: center">[SPOILER][MEDIA=youtube]MlEW24nOlH0[/MEDIA][/SPOILER]</p></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Their valorous and numerous actions spread their name outward to the world. Far and wide everyone was talking about the rising clan the Golden Sabbath that had grabbed up a large piece of the map. They were exerting their will upon the world and slowly it was bending for them. That was until <strong><span style="font-size: 9px">Ashikaga's Gambit</span></strong> a plan crafted by a mysterious man hidden away from the world Takauji Ashikaga. The Golden Sabbath had by this point dominated the region that intersected the Badlands of Earth, the Great Wind Desert, and the Land of Fire. How could their rise go unnoticed? A contingent of surviving Black Ones, led by Takauji Ashikaga, had formed a political powerhouse in the Tea Peninsula. Ashikaga and his small, but the efficient military, considered themselves to be the successors to the remnants of the Freehold; they saw these clans, especially the Golden Sabbath, as a threat to their position. Takauji would use their immense wealth and resources plundered from the collapse of Chungsu, to issue bounties on the members of the Golden Sabbath in an effort to destabilize their position and weaken rival clans. His message to the Golden Sabbath and the world was plain, simple and for all to see; <strong><span style="font-size: 9px">"Know your place, lesser clans!"</span></strong> Every landmark of the failure that was the Freehold was plastered with the bounties and alongside them a promise of coin, fame, and recognition to anyone who could take down a member of the Golden Sabbath and prove their deeds. Vegeta had just made his way out of his battle with a crazy beast of a man who harbored the Nine-Tails in his body. Learning of his new bounty and infamy he was hell-bent on defending himself and proving to the world he was more than them. More than these pitiful mortals who believed themselves strong enough to take on a King. He began his journey toward home.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Trunks hearing the news of his bounty and the imminent danger quickly rushed to a bank to place his items away for safe keeping. He had recently obtained a powerful artifact partially funded by his new friend Sado. If he were to fall, to another to the bounty that had been placed upon his head this artifact could fund a life for his mother. A comfortable life, the one his father should have provided for her if he should survive though he could re-obtain his powerful asset and begin to amass a fortune. One to help his mother, and the people of the world. He could use his power for good like he saw Sado do. Instead of standing by and watching the world, he could direct it and help it grow in a peaceful way. As this happened Sado was having a problem, an internal battle between his Goliath upbringing and what was smart to do. He had endangered all of his lands, all of the people he was promising to protect, aid, and reassure. Against the better judgment of his heart, he resolved himself to fight to the death for these people. His life was nothing compared to the numerous lives of the lands. He crafted several technological items and altered the terrain of Kushasogen slightly to prepare for war. He would fight a one-man war if he had to against Takauji's powerful Alliance. Forming a clone he transformed himself into the guise of a child and let the clone wait as bait. Then the clone spoke. <em>"You know you don't have to fight, right?"</em> Sado believed that he did so he found this statement stupid. Then he thought about it he didn't have to fight in reality he just resigned himself to that fate because of his upbringing. He quickly had his clone evacuate Kushasogen and Forskellig to his allies the White Lotus' land and met them there. If he wanted to fight the Alliance he needed his own-.. <a href="https://youtu.be/OWz_QCOA6Y4?t=1m22s">Horde</a>.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">After a period of travel, Uta found himself home, he knew of the danger, but what was the danger to The Silver Eyed King? He decided that he would change his appearance and go about his business as usual. He had his personal summon Momo travel to the marketplace and wait for him. He then went to explore the Great Wind Desert he had heard stories about the luxury, the food, the drink, and the women. He found himself at a land called Fenchurch with massive walls and gates. He learned this land belonged to a powerful woman who reigned over these people as a matriarch. However, there was no woman, just another story, a myth as he found no one leading these people when he arrived. With a sour taste in his mouth from the previous "Goddess" he had heard about he made the choice to destroy these lands and further the tale of "The Silver Eyed King." He was growing tired of baseless claims of strength and power from young and frightened women. After using his own element Stygian Water to convert the entire water supply every last drop, he changed the ground to a dense swamp and had his companion Momo finally reverse summon him. He appeared in the marketplace pleased with himself for his destruction. He shelved an item of his at the bank and then traveled in his guise for a while. Should someone find him so be it. He'd put an end to their life long before they could claim a bounty.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Thinking on his feet Sado had devised a devious plan. He was going to try and financially cripple his opposition while in unison building up his own horde for battle. He made a scroll with the details on it and then without explaining he attacked Fu a member of the White Lotus in front of her own and his own people. She attacked back her only option as Sado stood not moving. He took the entire onslaught and seemingly died there a broken mass of justice and wrath. In front of every single person including all of Fu's people, all of his people, and even a few straggling merchants who were arriving from far off lands. Fu opened the scroll, read it and realized what was going on. She moved Sado to a safe place healed him and left him to his own devices taking his arm to claim the bounty as per his plan. Sado used his Goliath heritage to regrow his missing limbs and permanently change his appearance taking on the guise of a new man <em>"Jack."</em> As Fu traveled to claim the bounty Jack was met by a woman named Kazumi Mishima. She wanted to claim Sado Yasutora's bounty but when she arrived she found he had already been felled. Seeing the people she wanted to help, but Jack turned her away explaining a story, and manipulating her to feel pity and remorse for her deeds. Several merchants she was with at the time of her arrival spread to the wind spreading the <a href="https://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=757113&p=21799535&viewfull=1#post21799535">tale</a> they had heard. The story of a demon and an angel, a fallen member of the Golden Sabbath and the young bounty hunter who killed him spread up the Badlands of Earth and down the Land of Fire reaching Tsuchi Heiho and Keshi both main cities of those lands. Sado's plan was working.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">With this news reaching Tsuchi Heiho it found the ears of young Trunks. His demeanor shattered as a crack in his peaceful and stoic mind began to form. The first strong figure in his life had died? How? Why? When? He needed to know and for the first time in his young life, he decided he wasn't above violence to obtain the information he wanted. He accosted a young woman who was spreading the tale of the Golden Sabbath to a Hangurian Black One and the marketplace as a whole. In the guise of a small child, he cornered the woman tossing various coins at her to give him the information he wanted threatening her in the process. Terrified she relented her strong facade as she began to cry explaining everything she knew. Trunks being a gentle person was torn by this response. He didn't like to hurt others. However, he explained that this woman would lead him to Sado or his killer NOW! She did. They traveled back to Takinomori and there he was met by a man named "Jack" who discreetly explained the situation through a Communication Scroll. <em>"Jack"</em>, turned his attention to the woman. This confused Trunks who didn't understand the situation completely in a moment of weakness and misunderstanding he left to go his own way. He returned to the Haunted Forest looking for Grenth the only other person he knew in this world. There he crafted a plan similar to Sado's own plan. He would have Grenth claim his bounty to help drain the Ryo from Takauji. He cut from his head a large portion of his own hair and gave it to Grenth as "proof" of his deed. Grenth went to the marketplace to retrieve the bounty as a young Hyuga woman from the Haunted Forest tended to Trunks escorting him outside of the Forest. Back in Takinomori Sado would use this merchant woman to gather information. He sent her out into the world as a spy alongside a clone who went by the alias Smith. The two traveled all the way to the edge of the Tea Peninsula before finding a slum. The clone couldn't let this go on and decided to save these people. He formed a clone, summoned a snake and a medical hut and sent the refugees on their way to Takinomori. This new clone crafted another idea and gathered resources on his way home gathering up numerous foodstuffs. First Fu returned with amazing news she had claimed the bounty and gotten a special artifact to show recognition from the Black Ones for her deeds. Then finally the clone returned home with numerous people. He also brought the food to feed them and to begin the rebuilding of all their lands. The clone dispersed and Sado learned everything that he knew knowledge of various lands, peoples, geography, the placement of forgotten forts and information about the placement of other clans in the world.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">As these events transpired with Uta, Trunks, and Sado, Vegeta had his own business to handle. Take on every person who stepped to him. He would show these pitiful humans just how weak they were and that their thoughts of defeating him were folly. He fought a Toad Sage Mode user and after a very short battle, he ended the onslaught with one of his signature attacks. <strong><em>FINAL FLASH!</em></strong> he yelled to the world proving himself superior to this mere hunter. Next came a woman, the same woman Sado had met earlier, the same woman Uta couldn't find in Fenchurch when he went looking for the matriarch. For a woman who said she wanted peace earlier to Sado, she sure wanted to fight such a charming and debonair man as Vegeta. He would give her the fight of her life if that's what she wanted. He believed she was rather dumb for attacking such a man as Vegeta but if this woman wanted to step out of the kitchen and bring him a moist towelette so be it. She tried to rush him but instead was met with a technique Vegeta had learned recently a substance called Lithos formed under the woman as magnetic forces began to repel her. She hung a few feet off of the ground as her arms were pulled up forcing her into a T pose wide, open and waiting for Vegeta to thrust through her with his next offensive. He would do just that as he formed a massive earthen drill upon his arm and moved toward her as a streak of light hardly able to be seen as he planted the drill firmly in her gut with the aim to tear her apart. However, she was more resilient then he assumed for a woman. Vegeta saw the woman clinging to life gasping for breath as he looked over toward the Toad Sage Mode user. He rationalized that it was time for them to learn a lesson. One from the school of hard-knocks, one that Vegeta was the headmaster of. He placed numerous seals upon them and stole their most prized abilities erasing their memories. He left them stuck in a chalk golem in the center of an oobleck swamp with only their land at the center remaining safe. He then thought returning home might be the best actions. Once home he contacted Sado who explained he had met the woman, and she claimed that she wanted <em>"peace and an alliance"</em> but he found it strange that she attacked. He left it up to Vegeta on what to do with her. Vegeta was kind, after claiming the Grade Divide northwest of their lands he returned to the area he had just left, and freed her from her bonds. He released all of the seals and returned her memories. With that she bolted, she wasn't about to try that again Vegeta believed. If she did the lesson next time would be harder, but maybe she'd like that he thought. Some women loved that kind of encounter he assured himself. A man named Vayne saw all of this and decided for himself that maybe the Golden Sabbath was for him. From the stories, he had heard maybe that's where he'd obtain what he needed.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></p><p style="margin-left: 20px"><em>Third Story Arc - Year 811</em></p> <p style="margin-left: 20px"><em><strong><span style="font-size: 9px"><span style="color: #FFFFFF">---</span>A Shogun Marches Forth</span></strong><span style="color: #FFFFFF">---</span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center">[SPOILER][MEDIA=youtube]zO4jWC2vTQo[/MEDIA][/SPOILER]</p></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">In the land known as the Tea Peninsula revolution was brewing a small land named Shinramoto stood strong and tall behind their protector a kunoichi aptly named Lena of Shinramoto. An amnesiac with a need to protect her protectors she set out to make alliances in the nearby landmarks which drew her to the bandits of Chungsu. She had been doing many things up until this point, stealing weapons, evading the Black Ones and gaining the ire of Takauji Ashikaga. With a well-placed speech in the Ruins of Chungsu she was able to acquire a liaison for the bandits a man named Topaz who would follow the woman and report back to his commanding officer with the objective to inform him, and the bandits upon his opinions of Shinramoto and Lena. This is where the Golden Sabbath entered the fray, our young clone Smith and his traveling companion Lorelei met this woman and her bandit not long after entering the Tea Peninsula through the Ruins of Chungsu which created a small Isthmus. Smith approached the woman with a determination to gain her aid and a dislike for Takauji and his oppressive regime. He slowly, deliberately and non-hostility explained everything he knew to her including his objectives. She replied by telling Smith she saw Takauji as a virus spreading his influence throughout the Tea Peninsula. Smith saw that he could make an ally out of this woman and her lands but it was plain to see she didn't trust him. How could she with everything that was happening right now in the Tea Peninsula? So, in an act of trust, he told her everything cluing her in on the plan completely. He was a clone sent to obtain information and allies, and this showed her that to at least to some degree she could trust him as he seemed both honest and committed to his prime directives. With another small conversation, they began to make the trek back to Shinramoto. Lorelei had been exhausted, she had pushed herself to her limitation, hungry, tired and sore. Lena offered to carry her and after an awkward moment, Lorelei took her offer. As Lena carried Lorelei forward through Shinramoto toward the main port village of Mori the bandit Topaz began to speak to and try to gauge Smith. With a few sexist remarks aimed toward him, Smith deflected his words and swatted his annoying conversation away like the gnat he was becoming.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">After about an hour of walking the small group reached the outskirts of Mori. Lena introduced them to a young teenage woman who she called Hawkeye and they continued onward into the village proper. Lena showed them to a small home introducing them to a woman named Juliana and explained that Lorelei could rest, and eat here and that Topaz could find an inn close by. Smith by this point was lost to ideas of how to fight the Black Ones, how to protect these people and indirectly his own. As soon as Lorelei was gone, safe inside the home he began in a manic tone. The first thing he asked Lena was her line. She replied with a reserved response, one Smith saw through. She said she didn't have one, and that anything was on the table. Smith knew instinctively that this was a lie. He pushed her further explaining just a few of the cruel, sadistic things his mind was working on. She reminded him that they were in imminent danger and that they needed to go to the front-lines where she would show him about all of the defenses and people she was working on and with. When they arrived Smith was disappointed. Numerous crudely crafted trenches, and a large swath of average people. These weren't the fighters he needed. He thought they would just get in the way, so he explained about a wall he would build. Lena disregarded his words and told him she needed to go toward Takauji's lands to obtain more allies. Smith didn't want to overstep his place as a guest so he let her go. She left him with a man named Zeri who turned out to be the actual person in charge. Smith couldn't see this and tried to explain what he was trying to convince Lena of to him. He thought if he could grab the ears of her people maybe he could get her to listen. He told Zeri about a map he obtained and how it could be used. He seemed much more interested in Smith's strategies, abilities, and plans than Lena had been. While this happened Lena traveled to a neighboring land and sought more allies. She was met by a group of men that agreed to return with her to Shinramoto but as she turned to return home she was abruptly and underhandedly attacked nearly killed by a sneak attack. Angered by this she fought back quickly dispatching the entire group before grabbing a horse and dragging herself back to Mori injured. Once there she sought out Zeri, wanting to explain everything to him. However, she was injured to a point of near unconsciousness. Smith was in a tent of his own relaying everything to Sado his creator through a communication scroll when he heard the commotion and rushed out of his tent.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">During all of the business in Shinramoto, Sado back in Takinomori was under a fair bit of stress. No longer manic he was in a depressive state consigned to do nothing until he was needed. He was unsure of what to do now, that was until finally, Trunks sought him out. Trunks tried to explain where he went and why but Sado cut him off before he could finish. Sado went on to tell Trunks his entire story, from before birth until now. The story he remembered was a sad one of a lost boy searching for family, and for love. A story where the boy was scorned and shunned until he finally failed and was exiled. Sado told Trunks that if he had a problem with him he could bring it up and they could work on it. Trunks mentioned his own past about an absentee father and a single mother who did everything she could for her child. He told Sado how he only wanted peace and mentioned a description of his father. A short, prideful man with a pronounced widow's peak. He seemed to be describing Vegeta and Sado mentioned that. Trunks seemed petrified, as he ordered everything in his mind. Was everything he was after here? Was his joining the Golden Sabbath a coincidence or fate itself? Trunks knowing everything he had done was hell-bent on fighting his absentee father and put those feelings into words. Sado could understand the kid, he needed closure and this whole interaction broke Sado out of his depressive state. Sado told Trunks to go to the marketplace and retrieve his objects of power, and buy more as he shoved a large amount of Ryo into the kid's hands telling him to use it to prepare. Trunks asked for what and Sado told him he would lead him to his father when he was ready. Trunks darted off after accepting the Ryo and went to the marketplace. Once there he entered the bank retrieving his ring, and then he went to the auction house buying another artifact of power that synergized with his first artifact. He set out to return to Sado and upon his return and a second small conversation the two set out to where Vegeta was. Vegeta had found himself north-east of Kushasogen by this point he had been exploring and found a small area with a lot of commotion going on. He used his Byakugan to survey the area as he wrote back to Sado about it. Sado explained that it sounded like the Haunted Forest and that they had an alliance with them. He also mentioned that he was on his way and that he'd be there soon and only told him not to hurt anyone related to the Haunted Forest or the masked man calling himself Grenth. Trunks and Sado continued onward toward the Haunted Forest to meet Vegeta and to check in on Grenth and the Haunted Forest.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Back to Smith, as he rushed out of his tent to see what was happening he was met with an extremely wounded Lena. He pushed aside the gathering crowd and tried to heal the woman. His hands and chakra were met by a strange substance a dark thread-like material was what her body was primarily made out of. Smith didn't know if the healing natured chakra would work so he pumped an immense amount of it into and through the wounds. Slowly they began to close and he was relieved. Lena told Smith and Zeri what happened. Smith felt like something like this would happen and due to this, he was momentarily vindicated in his words until she cried out that they were coming now. Smith was angered as he moved outward toward the border of Shinramoto. He crafted a massive double-layered earthen wall filling it with oobleck making it a very strong and dependable wall. With a small opening left he summoned forth a Triple-Rashomon gate as a distraction preparing the field for what would come next-... the <em>Battle of Shinramoto.</em> This event would grow to be known as the first real war-like battle for the Golden Sabbath, for Shinramoto and for Takauji and his Black Ones. With haste and destruction a massive battalion of shinobi, summoning creatures including bears and birds, as well as a small number of Black Ones rushed forward toward the wall Smith had just created. With Lena now by his side atop the wall the two began to fight back against the invasion force. Lena used a large jet of flames to roast a large portion of the advancing troops while using special cards to take out any stragglers. She was resigned to use close-quarters combat and put her life on the line but it was easy to see she was holding back not wanting to unnecessarily kill. Smith on the other hands. Well, he allowed a seal placed upon his mind to segregate his more violent tendencies to release them. After this action, Smith was a completely different person, as he summoned forth Salazzle his personal summon. He created a massive combination of flammable poison and fire while directing Salazzle to summon forth a massive column of flammable poison that was lit ablaze immediately. What followed was a napalm-like offensive that covered nearly every advancing shinobi in a wave of napalm burning them profusely melting their flesh, clothes, and armor causing a large portion of the summoning creatures to reverse summon as the poison caused a crippling effect creating an intense fear.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></p><p style="text-align: center">[SPOILER][MEDIA=youtube]rdB6TGonTms[/MEDIA][/SPOILER]</p></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">What took place next was a large scale battle with Lena and Smith standing in front of Shinramoto atop the wall blocking all incoming shinobi from approaching. The first wave was rather mundane just normal shinobi only a few were able to scale the wall, a mere two reaching Smith. He tossed a technological device he had been working on at them and with an explosion of liquid and gaseous poison they were reduced to blood smears along the wall, ground and even Smith's cloak. This was around when Smith noticed Lena, she was holding back, killing only when absolutely necessary. Smith called out to her yelling out with a visceral call, he told her that if she didn't stand up and make the hard choice to kill everyone trying to hurt her people then some would get through their combined defense and they'd have no problem killing her people. As he said that the oobleck began to rush upward with numerous grappling-hook-like constructs bursting through a few shinobi's chests as they tried to move forward abruptly pulling them down under the oobleck crushing them under the shear viscosity. Lena continued to use her cards to try and dispatch a large portion of the individuals until a massive summoning creature a bear burst through the gate in a rushing dash of speed and strength. She seemed to call on her dark threads as a being flew upward into the air as a violet-hued wind began to whip around the field blasting numerous shinobi and the bear with sharp winds that tore through a large portion of the advancing force harming the bear but not killing it. With it making its way into the grasslands of Shinramoto Lena used an incoming wave of birds to carry her forward above the battle as she began killing more and more of the intruders falling from the bird and landing near the bear. Smith instructed Salazzle to deal with the bear as he himself dealt with the advancing forces and now the Medical shinobi who had begun healing their allies. Salazzle extended ten toxic threads from her fingers having them connect to the bear pumping poison directly into it's vascular and chakra systems causing it to pass out before dying. Several Black Ones jumped from the bear as Salazzle controlled the threads to detach from the bear and connect to them having a similar effect. While this happened Smith surrounded the upper atmosphere in gaseous poison causing the immeasurable amount of birds to begin reverse summoning as he converted the gas to liquid coating them in sticky heavy poison. With a massive crashing wave of poison, the birds were either reverse summoned or they slammed into the wall breaking their necks upon the defense dying due to stubbornness. The wave of poison continued downward coating everyone and everything including the Medical shinobi in thick dense poison. However, one individual had gotten through the onslaught. He seemed to be the commander, and with a wash of kunai and tags, he summoned forth another large battalion in front of the wall all approaching Lena on horseback. As they ran forward Smith turned only having one plan, for such an action. He created a massive swamp and had it rush upward surrounding a large number of the army as it sucked them down under the swamp. This left Lena and just the commander. Smith stood to the side content to let her finish this.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">After a short and decisive battle, it was plain to see Lena was the victor. Or was she? The commander began to laugh, as his face and body began to turn to dust. A distraction. He laughed uncontrollably as his body shifted becoming silt and soil breaking apart and falling from Lena's grasp. Then they both saw it-... ships off the western port approaching at a rapid pace. This entire battle was a distraction to tie them up so the ships could approach undetected hidden and silent. Lena was furious as she called forth a barnacle construct and flew off. To say Smith was angry, would be an understatement. Smith had long ago given into his secondary personality. He was violent and livid. His primary personality called out through the silence telling him to go to Lorelei. Smith replied by yelling SHUT UP! At no one. This frightened Salazzle momentarily as Smith rushed forward taking several steps forward before diving off the wall growing two fleshy bat-like wings. He flew inward toward everything going on picking up two shinobi who had rushed from the ships to attack townsfolk. He lifted them up high into the air and like two cymbals he crashed them together breaking their bodies and dropping them back to the ground. He was lost to his more barbarous nature due to his Goliath upbringing and warrior training. He raced toward Lorelei stopping in an alley as a shinobi approached one of Lena's allies from behind. He wrapped his wings around him as he tore him to pieces. He had Salazzle take the shinobi's sword as he set it up with trap seals to protect Lorelei. He couldn't see her now, well he didn't want her to see him like he was a broken mess. He flew off leaving Salazzle to go into the house and tell Lorelei they had to flee. As she made it to Lorelei <strong><em>BOOOM!</em></strong> a cannonball from one of the ships tore through the building tearing away the roof and knocking Lorelei unconscious. As this happened something snapped inside of Smith as his body began to react to his emotions. His body began to suck in natural energy instigating a bodily response where he became a grotesque demonic form of flesh, bones, and weapons. With a high-pitched screech, his body began to condense natural energy and chakra as numerous vents appeared on his body. His eyes darted toward the ship as with a massively loud laser-like noise an explosive beam of pure energy and hatred blew forward tearing a huge hole in the hull of the ship vaporizing several Black Ones. The ship immediately began to capsize as Smith in a blur of aggression he zoomed forward toward the port. His body further changed as he was able to direct every ounce of hate, anger, and aggression into a state of meditation. He was no longer thinking his mind was an empty cup as his body reacted instinctively. A vanta-black aura of darkness began to bulge outward choking the life out of any shinobi close enough. He tore through shinobi after shinobi as he carved a messy and bloody path to the port. Once there he proceeded to tear through another ship using the condensed aura to create arms that pierced into the ship forcing it to like the other to capsize. Juliana and Viola allies of Lena along with Topaz gathered up the children and Lorelei who was now unconscious and tried to escape. After fleeing partially Juliana and Topaz were both struck by a taijutsu user. As they both laid upon the ground the man lowered a sword toward Topaz. Salazzle spun her body three times and tossed the sealed sword toward the incoming blade the two blades clattering together. As they struck one another the sealed sword began to flare up as it released a massive amount of poison forward blasting off one of the man's arms as Salazzle yelled out to him "He knows." The man was injured and angry as Smith was then informed of everything the seal had gathered. Smith bolted toward the fleeing group landing down upon the aggressor tearing him apart directly in front of Topaz. He reached out and healed Juliana and Topaz before floating high into the air watching Lena continue her aberrant activities.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Almost in unison to these actions from Smith, Lena seemed to be going through her own harrowing events. She saw the smoke rising from the wooden structures, horror in her eyes she tried to take it in, as her chest had sunk. She fought through countless shinobi finally finding their captain. After a short fight, her tone and persona seemed to shift as she became more violent, seemingly narcissistic, unsympathetic, and rather impulsive as she took on a form similar to Smith's with dark energy being released from her palms literally converting her body to dark energy. She told him to call her Lord Sorrows as she went on to open up her arms like a mother welcoming a hug before she radiated in chakra and unleashed a blast from each of her chakra points. A wave of dark chakra decimated the area around her, leaving a massive hole in the Town hall and blowing away the Captain. He was dead, the town hall was a bit dead, what was left was the bell tower and the entrance, the walls between and roof were destroyed. She left a silhouette of the orb that had destroyed it in the structure. Though it looked as though if one were to touch it, it would collapse in on itself. Lord Sorrows had a pair of dark wings erupt from her back with two dark orbs at the center of both wings. She flew up into the air high above the village to get a good look at what was happening and in doing so her and Smith ended up near one another. Together they realized that the battle was basically over. Lena, or Sorrows as she was calling herself seemed like she wanted to continue the fight and move on to Degrashi Port. It was an unusual scenario Smith had to be the voice of reason as he shifted back to his natural primary personality. He explained that he felt like now was when they had to gather their allies and help their people. He went on to land upon the ground healing Lorelei, then Topaz and he waited. Sorrows went on to the port to continue killing any stragglers and there she was met by a very sad, situation. Her ward, Hawkeye had been killed during the battle. With her body laid out in front of her, she seemed to return to normal as grief overwhelmed her. She placed her hands upon the child and tried to force copious amounts of healing natured chakra into the child-... but it was to no avail. She was already dead. Smith tried to make jokes as he healed the people, but a lot of them seemed like they didn't want to hear it. He eventually excused himself and went on to form a clone, that dispersed immediately informing Sado of everything. He returned to the group and so did Lena with the child in her arms.</p><p style="text-align: center"></p></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Trunks and Sado had arrived in the Haunted Forest where they found it was on lockdown. Someone had kidnapped a child no one was to be left in or out. The guard would lead Trunks and Sado to Vegeta who Sado went on to introduce Trunks too. Both seemed quiet as all three waited for the events going on to come to a close. Vegeta informed Sado about what was happening and that Grenth was currently fighting someone in a hidden cave, with a child being fought over. After some time Grenth allowed the evildoer to flee so that he could take the child to be healed. He was able to remove the toxin the boy had been injected with, but the effects were still present namely his arms had disintegrated. Grenth brought the child to Sado begging him to help. Sado did his best stabilizing the child, giving him medicine that would increase his blood flow as he closed his wounds. As this happened the child began to twist and turn his body morphing. Sado knew he could help him now as he forced another medicine onto the child which altered his body making it so that the cells repaired and replaced what was missing. His arms were repaired as Grenth created a chalk creature that shuttled him away to safety. Sado realized this boy was like his kind. He was a goliath or at least related to them. He explained this to Grenth and told him that one day the child would lash out in confusion and hurt others. If that day came Sado wanted him to send the boy to him for training. Grenth agreed. Sado explained everything that had been happening and that he wanted Grenth to join the Golden Sabbath after gathering up new lands. As Sado explained what was happening in Shinramoto Vegeta ran off. He wouldn't allow the man who placed bounties on their heads to continue what he was doing. Vegeta was prideful, just knowing that someone was trying to snuff out the Golden Sabbath angered him. He rushed onward to Shinramoto traveling through the Land of Fire in a day. As he departed Grenth and Sado continued their conversation Sado explained that he was going to be holding a summit for all for he clans of the Badlands of Earth soon. Grenth agreed, he would gather more lands under his protection and then pledge fealty to the Golden Sabbath. Trunks seemed shocked and petrified once more as he was introduced to his father. He wasn't able to say a word before his father was gone. Sado spoke to him after Vegeta had left before he had a chance to leave himself. <em>"Trunks, you're a good kid."</em> He said trying to comfort him.</div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: "></div> <div style="text-align: justify; max-width: ">Vegeta eventually made his way to Shinramoto and there he met Lena and Smith. He got there right after everything that had happened. Smith was in the middle of trying to comfort Lena. He explained that she had done everything she could and none of this was her fault. He thought she seemed to understand but he didn't really know. He then excused himself to go explain everything to Vegeta who he noticed had been traveling on a large snake. He told him about everything that had happened then introduced them. He hoped Lena saw that when she allied herself with the Golden Sabbath she had made a good decision as he told her this was but the first of the allies he had brought together. She seemed to excuse herself as she had some things to deal with. Smith understood there was much to do, a lot to rebuild and people to comfort. He waited with Vegeta as they discussed what to do next. Zeri offered them food and a place to rest. Neither felt much like resting.</p><p style="text-align: center">[SPOILER]<img src="https://i.imgur.com/lmk9f94.jpg" data-url="https://i.imgur.com/lmk9f94.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="" title="" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222">"<em><strong>You're</strong> comin' with <strong><a href="https://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=761061&p=21810260&viewfull=1#post21810260">me</a></strong>, through the <strong>WSE</strong> feel it or <strong>not</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>You're</strong> gonna <strong>fear it</strong> like <strong>I</strong> showed you the <strong>spirit</strong> of <strong>God</strong> lives in <strong>us</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>You</strong> hear it a <strong>lot</strong>, actions that <strong>shock</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em>Is it a <strong>miracle</strong> or am <strong>I</strong> just a product of <strong>you</strong> givin' up?</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em>Fa shizzle, my wizzle, this is the <strong>plot</strong>, listen up!</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>You bizzels</strong> forgot, <strong>Sadizle</strong> does not give a <strong>****</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>'Til</strong> the <strong>power</strong> goes <strong>out</strong>, 'til the servers <strong>shutdown.</strong></em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>'Til</strong> his <strong>fingers</strong> give <strong>out</strong>, can't shut my <strong>mouth</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>'Til</strong> the <strong>forum</strong> clears <strong>out</strong>, am I <strong>high</strong>? <strong>Perhaps</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>I'ma</strong> play this shit <strong>'til</strong> the site <strong>collapse</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>I</strong> got a <strong>list</strong>, here's the order of my <strong>list</strong> that it's in;</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>It</strong> goes, <strong>Vegeta</strong>, <strong>Uta</strong>, <strong>Trunks</strong> and <strong>Vayne</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>Fu</strong> from the <strong>White Lotus</strong>, <strong>Korra</strong>, <strong>Kilik</strong>, and <strong>Desmond</strong> and then <strong>me, the main</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>But</strong> in this <strong>story</strong>, <strong>I'm</strong> the cause of a lot of <strong>envy</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em>So when <strong>I'm</strong> not put on this <strong>list</strong> that shit does not offend <strong>me</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em>That's why <strong>you</strong> see me walk around like nothing's bothering <strong>me</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em>Even though <strong>half</strong> you <strong>people</strong> got a fuckin' problem with <strong>me</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em>You <strong>hate it</strong> but you know <strong>respect</strong> you've got to <strong>give me</strong>.</em></span></em></p> <p style="text-align: center"><em><span style="color: #B22222"><em><strong>"How could you let him claim his own bounty!?

They were three men who loosely knew about one another from their previous exploits and constant need for battle and blood. Sado knew Vegeta from his time as a sell-sword, he came up against and fought alongside many people on the field of battle. One of those people was a very short man named Vegeta he was an older man who Sado began to look up to, no pun intended on the height difference. Sado was young, he started sell-sword work at about the age of fifteen which meant he met Vegeta at a very impressionable time in his life a time when he needed someone, anyone, just a friend. It turned out Vegeta had a similar start to Sado they had both left their families, either by force or by a need for exploration. Vegeta knew Uta through a long drawn out battle. Vegeta was someone Uta had met a couple of years beforehand on a random battlefield after clashing, the two realized they shouldn’t be enemies. From there the two kept contact about the world around them and their work. They were each broken in their own little ways but they saw either injustice in the world and had a need to correct it, or for some, they just saw a power vacuum that they wanted to exploit. [INDENT][I]The First Story Arc - Year 811[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][I][B][SIZE=9px]The State of Affairs[/SIZE][/B][/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] The three began their journey in Kushasogen a small landmark in the Land of Fire. This landmark wasn't chosen due to some kind of motive or reason it just happened to be where Sado and Vegeta stopped to discuss their state of affairs and what came next. It turned out that the idea for the clan had come from another person Vegeta knew Uta. Sado didn't know this man, but he trusted Vegeta and his judgment. Once the clan was formed, Uta was introduced to the other founder Sado, but an issue was immediately in the air. Uta was the head of the Claymore. A family that was a direct enemy and rival of Sado’s tribe. In essence, the Claymore warriors were the very reason Sado had been exiled from his tribe and left to the world at large. The tension was in the air but the two had enough control and respect for what their clan could stand for that they were able to put their family’s past and problems to the side for the time being. It was a very hard compromise to make. Sado made Uta agree to an ultimatum, never cause violence or trauma to the people of the Golden Sabbath's lands and they could work together. They were two monsters hiding in plain sight, not quite human but emotional none the less. At this point, the three men separated temporarily to go about their own business and to build the clan in their own specific ways. Each man had a vision in their mind and a picture of what they wanted their clan to be. This meant that the power structure wasn't so much a hierarchy everyone had their own ideas and Sado, Uta and Vegeta each had the same justification and the same right to build up their organization in the way they saw fit. First, let's talk about Sado. He was a fractured man, a tangled mess of misplaced justice and wrath. A man with a strong moral code built up through years of savage beatings and shunning. He thought the best course of action was to unite the lands under one banner. Under one organization. So he set to work healing the sick and infirm, gathering up the poor, the grief-stricken the ones who had been left behind by the failure of the Freehold and he began to instill hope in the hearts of each person he met. He went to the Graveyard of Sin and spoke with another clan the White Lotus and set terms for alliance speaking with each of their people including Fu, Korra, and Kilik. He bound the lands together binding Kushasogen, Forskellig, Urin, and the Graveyard of Sin. During this came the actions of Uta and Vegeta these two men knew that a show of strength was what the Golden Sabbath needed. They knew this world only spoke in one language; violence. They sought out another powerful clan Black Order, found on the Crimson Isle. Uta led a two-man mission and here they ran into another said to be a powerful and upcoming clan. Their mission was simple and their objective was clear: Defeat the clan entirely and get them to submit under the flag of the Sabbath. They needed to prove to the world that the Golden Sabbath was the only clan strong enough to lead them in a revolution. The clan leader was before them the moment they showed up, along with a tattooed man and another uninteresting character. Their leader was a loud mouth and had the Sharingan, not just any Sharingan one that had evolved to a Mangekyō state, so Uta instantly attacked with the thoughts that the man would give him a thrill. Unfortunately, Uta and his personal summon Momo were able to pressure and defeat the man within a few moments, clutching the mission in the process. In unison to this valiant deed on Uta's part, Vegeta had taken it upon himself to fight the strongest person he found there an apparent Jinchuuriki. He had heard tales of their strength and that they held the Bijuu inside of them. What better way to prove their strength then defeat one of the monsters that Razed the Great and Powerful Hanguri Freehold and their capital Chungsu. If he could tame this man and his beast, it would prove that he could tame the world. It happened in an instant Vegeta looked toward his opponent forcing his intent upon him-... and that was enough. There wasn't even a true battle just a glance and the mighty Jinchuriki fell before him. Their ranks were broken and defeat was imminent Uta and Vegeta drew up a treaty and left the lands once the treaty was signed and agreed to. The Sabbath had them under their foot, but they’d probably be back to check in. The Crimson Isle marked with blood became the sole property of the Golden Sabbath the two left and Vegeta directed them toward the Witchwood Arena. Back to Sado, he was about to rest in Kushasogen after all of his deeds over the last few days. He was tired and had done much. He had built wells, he healed the sick and infirm, he gathered up the hope and dreams of those poor people found there and placed that entire weight upon his own shoulders. There he found a man roughly his same age with lavender hair going through the base that Vegeta had created for them. Sado attacked immediately. This man, he wouldn't take from him what he had worked so hard to begin building. He poisoned the man with a Truth Serum and began to ask a barrage of questions. During a short back and forth the man who said he was Trunks claimed to only want peace. It was the truth, that was all he could speak to Sado because of the Serum forced upon him. Eventually, Sado calmed himself and Trunks and he decided that he could join the Golden Sabbath. Trunks soon learned of the valorous and selfless deeds of Sado and resolved to follow him for a while to at least see what the Golden Sabbath truly meant. The two were soon asked to return a hunting party that had ventured into the Haunted Forest many miles north of Forskellig. They obliged and set out Sado and Trunks traveled with haste making their way to these lands in a day. Unknown to Sado or anyone else for that matter Trunks had ulterior motives for his exploration. He was seeking out his lost father, who had abandoned his family right before his birth. He was holding this secret within but it caused him to sort of imprint towards Sado the first strong, male figure in his life unbeknownst to him they were the same age which made this a bit awkward. There they found something appalling. A burnt laboratory used for human torture, experimentation, and murder. Sado would be having none of that in any land near his. He quickly set out to find the missing individuals and what he found was a group of previously tortured and traumatized people. [I][B]NO![/B][/I] He screamed in his own mind. He was met by a man who told him his name was Grenth and they discussed what had happened. Grenth had saved these people from a man named Axl and Sado determined that Grenth from this point forward would work for the Golden Sabbath. This wasn't a request this was an order and after some minor negotiation Grenth relented and agreed. Trunks and Sado returned these people to their lands and returned home. In the course of these actions, Vegeta made his way to the Witchwood Arena. Uta wasn't one for constant battle so he bid Vegeta adieu and went his own way. Vegeta fought his first combatant a man named Laxus. He seemed arrogant, and prideful believing himself the strongest. A large-scale battle took place with Vegeta finally cinching battle by surrounding himself in an ethereal chakra armor creating a massive construct with which to attack. With one devastating blow, he threw his opponent to the ground and called forth the next opponent. What stepped out from the shadows was another Jinchuriki. It seemed Vegeta was creating a pattern. He would have laughed if he wasn't so focused on the battle and danger at hand. What followed was a battle larger and more drawn out then even his previous one. This Jincuriki was much stronger than the first one he fought. At least nine times stronger, and he proved to be too much. Vegeta was struck full on by a world-shaking attack and forced to the ground. His pride faltered for a moment as he realized he'd need to become stronger. This was a beast that could be compared to the one who razed the mighty Chungsu. He set himself on a path for home after using Sage Mode to heal himself enough to move. Uta had found himself exploring, looking for the next nice place to lay his head for the night when he began to hear a rumor. He found this rumor while roaming the lands as more and more he heard this growing story of a goddess in Theodora rising in power. He thought the Golden Sabbath could use someone like that someone so strong they were being compared to a goddess. What he found was nothing. A myth perpetrated and passed along and created by what he saw as a frightened woman. He tried to set a meeting with this woman but was ignored for days as his hunger grew so did his anger at being stood up. He would snuff out this rumor, and create his own. There was no goddess only a frightened woman who couldn't protect her own. He murdered and ate numerous people leaving one lone man alive. Uta told this man to spread his story. To tell the deeds of Uta, The Silver Eyed King and that if he ever heard of this "goddess" again he would tear her apart and eat her like he had done to these people. He too like Vegeta set himself on a path to home. Through the deeds of each individual, the Golden Sabbath had grown in name and fame across the world. [INDENT][I]Second Story Arc - Year 811[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][I][B][SIZE=9px]Ashikaga's Gambit[/SIZE][/B][/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [CENTER][SPOILER][MEDIA=youtube]MlEW24nOlH0[/MEDIA][/SPOILER][/CENTER] Their valorous and numerous actions spread their name outward to the world. Far and wide everyone was talking about the rising clan the Golden Sabbath that had grabbed up a large piece of the map. They were exerting their will upon the world and slowly it was bending for them. That was until [B][SIZE=9px]Ashikaga's Gambit[/SIZE][/B] a plan crafted by a mysterious man hidden away from the world Takauji Ashikaga. The Golden Sabbath had by this point dominated the region that intersected the Badlands of Earth, the Great Wind Desert, and the Land of Fire. How could their rise go unnoticed? A contingent of surviving Black Ones, led by Takauji Ashikaga, had formed a political powerhouse in the Tea Peninsula. Ashikaga and his small, but the efficient military, considered themselves to be the successors to the remnants of the Freehold; they saw these clans, especially the Golden Sabbath, as a threat to their position. Takauji would use their immense wealth and resources plundered from the collapse of Chungsu, to issue bounties on the members of the Golden Sabbath in an effort to destabilize their position and weaken rival clans. His message to the Golden Sabbath and the world was plain, simple and for all to see; [B][SIZE=9px]"Know your place, lesser clans!"[/SIZE][/B] Every landmark of the failure that was the Freehold was plastered with the bounties and alongside them a promise of coin, fame, and recognition to anyone who could take down a member of the Golden Sabbath and prove their deeds. Vegeta had just made his way out of his battle with a crazy beast of a man who harbored the Nine-Tails in his body. Learning of his new bounty and infamy he was hell-bent on defending himself and proving to the world he was more than them. More than these pitiful mortals who believed themselves strong enough to take on a King. He began his journey toward home. Trunks hearing the news of his bounty and the imminent danger quickly rushed to a bank to place his items away for safe keeping. He had recently obtained a powerful artifact partially funded by his new friend Sado. If he were to fall, to another to the bounty that had been placed upon his head this artifact could fund a life for his mother. A comfortable life, the one his father should have provided for her if he should survive though he could re-obtain his powerful asset and begin to amass a fortune. One to help his mother, and the people of the world. He could use his power for good like he saw Sado do. Instead of standing by and watching the world, he could direct it and help it grow in a peaceful way. As this happened Sado was having a problem, an internal battle between his Goliath upbringing and what was smart to do. He had endangered all of his lands, all of the people he was promising to protect, aid, and reassure. Against the better judgment of his heart, he resolved himself to fight to the death for these people. His life was nothing compared to the numerous lives of the lands. He crafted several technological items and altered the terrain of Kushasogen slightly to prepare for war. He would fight a one-man war if he had to against Takauji's powerful Alliance. Forming a clone he transformed himself into the guise of a child and let the clone wait as bait. Then the clone spoke. [I]"You know you don't have to fight, right?"[/I] Sado believed that he did so he found this statement stupid. Then he thought about it he didn't have to fight in reality he just resigned himself to that fate because of his upbringing. He quickly had his clone evacuate Kushasogen and Forskellig to his allies the White Lotus' land and met them there. If he wanted to fight the Alliance he needed his own-.. [URL='https://youtu.be/OWz_QCOA6Y4?t=1m22s']Horde[/URL]. After a period of travel, Uta found himself home, he knew of the danger, but what was the danger to The Silver Eyed King? He decided that he would change his appearance and go about his business as usual. He had his personal summon Momo travel to the marketplace and wait for him. He then went to explore the Great Wind Desert he had heard stories about the luxury, the food, the drink, and the women. He found himself at a land called Fenchurch with massive walls and gates. He learned this land belonged to a powerful woman who reigned over these people as a matriarch. However, there was no woman, just another story, a myth as he found no one leading these people when he arrived. With a sour taste in his mouth from the previous "Goddess" he had heard about he made the choice to destroy these lands and further the tale of "The Silver Eyed King." He was growing tired of baseless claims of strength and power from young and frightened women. After using his own element Stygian Water to convert the entire water supply every last drop, he changed the ground to a dense swamp and had his companion Momo finally reverse summon him. He appeared in the marketplace pleased with himself for his destruction. He shelved an item of his at the bank and then traveled in his guise for a while. Should someone find him so be it. He'd put an end to their life long before they could claim a bounty. Thinking on his feet Sado had devised a devious plan. He was going to try and financially cripple his opposition while in unison building up his own horde for battle. He made a scroll with the details on it and then without explaining he attacked Fu a member of the White Lotus in front of her own and his own people. She attacked back her only option as Sado stood not moving. He took the entire onslaught and seemingly died there a broken mass of justice and wrath. In front of every single person including all of Fu's people, all of his people, and even a few straggling merchants who were arriving from far off lands. Fu opened the scroll, read it and realized what was going on. She moved Sado to a safe place healed him and left him to his own devices taking his arm to claim the bounty as per his plan. Sado used his Goliath heritage to regrow his missing limbs and permanently change his appearance taking on the guise of a new man [I]"Jack."[/I] As Fu traveled to claim the bounty Jack was met by a woman named Kazumi Mishima. She wanted to claim Sado Yasutora's bounty but when she arrived she found he had already been felled. Seeing the people she wanted to help, but Jack turned her away explaining a story, and manipulating her to feel pity and remorse for her deeds. Several merchants she was with at the time of her arrival spread to the wind spreading the [URL='https://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=757113&p=21799535&viewfull=1#post21799535']tale[/URL] they had heard. The story of a demon and an angel, a fallen member of the Golden Sabbath and the young bounty hunter who killed him spread up the Badlands of Earth and down the Land of Fire reaching Tsuchi Heiho and Keshi both main cities of those lands. Sado's plan was working. With this news reaching Tsuchi Heiho it found the ears of young Trunks. His demeanor shattered as a crack in his peaceful and stoic mind began to form. The first strong figure in his life had died? How? Why? When? He needed to know and for the first time in his young life, he decided he wasn't above violence to obtain the information he wanted. He accosted a young woman who was spreading the tale of the Golden Sabbath to a Hangurian Black One and the marketplace as a whole. In the guise of a small child, he cornered the woman tossing various coins at her to give him the information he wanted threatening her in the process. Terrified she relented her strong facade as she began to cry explaining everything she knew. Trunks being a gentle person was torn by this response. He didn't like to hurt others. However, he explained that this woman would lead him to Sado or his killer NOW! She did. They traveled back to Takinomori and there he was met by a man named "Jack" who discreetly explained the situation through a Communication Scroll. [I]"Jack"[/I], turned his attention to the woman. This confused Trunks who didn't understand the situation completely in a moment of weakness and misunderstanding he left to go his own way. He returned to the Haunted Forest looking for Grenth the only other person he knew in this world. There he crafted a plan similar to Sado's own plan. He would have Grenth claim his bounty to help drain the Ryo from Takauji. He cut from his head a large portion of his own hair and gave it to Grenth as "proof" of his deed. Grenth went to the marketplace to retrieve the bounty as a young Hyuga woman from the Haunted Forest tended to Trunks escorting him outside of the Forest. Back in Takinomori Sado would use this merchant woman to gather information. He sent her out into the world as a spy alongside a clone who went by the alias Smith. The two traveled all the way to the edge of the Tea Peninsula before finding a slum. The clone couldn't let this go on and decided to save these people. He formed a clone, summoned a snake and a medical hut and sent the refugees on their way to Takinomori. This new clone crafted another idea and gathered resources on his way home gathering up numerous foodstuffs. First Fu returned with amazing news she had claimed the bounty and gotten a special artifact to show recognition from the Black Ones for her deeds. Then finally the clone returned home with numerous people. He also brought the food to feed them and to begin the rebuilding of all their lands. The clone dispersed and Sado learned everything that he knew knowledge of various lands, peoples, geography, the placement of forgotten forts and information about the placement of other clans in the world. As these events transpired with Uta, Trunks, and Sado, Vegeta had his own business to handle. Take on every person who stepped to him. He would show these pitiful humans just how weak they were and that their thoughts of defeating him were folly. He fought a Toad Sage Mode user and after a very short battle, he ended the onslaught with one of his signature attacks. [B][I]FINAL FLASH![/I][/B] he yelled to the world proving himself superior to this mere hunter. Next came a woman, the same woman Sado had met earlier, the same woman Uta couldn't find in Fenchurch when he went looking for the matriarch. For a woman who said she wanted peace earlier to Sado, she sure wanted to fight such a charming and debonair man as Vegeta. He would give her the fight of her life if that's what she wanted. He believed she was rather dumb for attacking such a man as Vegeta but if this woman wanted to step out of the kitchen and bring him a moist towelette so be it. She tried to rush him but instead was met with a technique Vegeta had learned recently a substance called Lithos formed under the woman as magnetic forces began to repel her. She hung a few feet off of the ground as her arms were pulled up forcing her into a T pose wide, open and waiting for Vegeta to thrust through her with his next offensive. He would do just that as he formed a massive earthen drill upon his arm and moved toward her as a streak of light hardly able to be seen as he planted the drill firmly in her gut with the aim to tear her apart. However, she was more resilient then he assumed for a woman. Vegeta saw the woman clinging to life gasping for breath as he looked over toward the Toad Sage Mode user. He rationalized that it was time for them to learn a lesson. One from the school of hard-knocks, one that Vegeta was the headmaster of. He placed numerous seals upon them and stole their most prized abilities erasing their memories. He left them stuck in a chalk golem in the center of an oobleck swamp with only their land at the center remaining safe. He then thought returning home might be the best actions. Once home he contacted Sado who explained he had met the woman, and she claimed that she wanted [I]"peace and an alliance"[/I] but he found it strange that she attacked. He left it up to Vegeta on what to do with her. Vegeta was kind, after claiming the Grade Divide northwest of their lands he returned to the area he had just left, and freed her from her bonds. He released all of the seals and returned her memories. With that she bolted, she wasn't about to try that again Vegeta believed. If she did the lesson next time would be harder, but maybe she'd like that he thought. Some women loved that kind of encounter he assured himself. A man named Vayne saw all of this and decided for himself that maybe the Golden Sabbath was for him. From the stories, he had heard maybe that's where he'd obtain what he needed. [INDENT][I]Third Story Arc - Year 811[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][I][B][SIZE=9px][COLOR=#FFFFFF]---[/COLOR]A Shogun Marches Forth[/SIZE][/B][COLOR=#FFFFFF]---[/COLOR][/I][/INDENT] [CENTER][SPOILER][MEDIA=youtube]zO4jWC2vTQo[/MEDIA][/SPOILER][/CENTER] In the land known as the Tea Peninsula revolution was brewing a small land named Shinramoto stood strong and tall behind their protector a kunoichi aptly named Lena of Shinramoto. An amnesiac with a need to protect her protectors she set out to make alliances in the nearby landmarks which drew her to the bandits of Chungsu. She had been doing many things up until this point, stealing weapons, evading the Black Ones and gaining the ire of Takauji Ashikaga. With a well-placed speech in the Ruins of Chungsu she was able to acquire a liaison for the bandits a man named Topaz who would follow the woman and report back to his commanding officer with the objective to inform him, and the bandits upon his opinions of Shinramoto and Lena. This is where the Golden Sabbath entered the fray, our young clone Smith and his traveling companion Lorelei met this woman and her bandit not long after entering the Tea Peninsula through the Ruins of Chungsu which created a small Isthmus. Smith approached the woman with a determination to gain her aid and a dislike for Takauji and his oppressive regime. He slowly, deliberately and non-hostility explained everything he knew to her including his objectives. She replied by telling Smith she saw Takauji as a virus spreading his influence throughout the Tea Peninsula. Smith saw that he could make an ally out of this woman and her lands but it was plain to see she didn't trust him. How could she with everything that was happening right now in the Tea Peninsula? So, in an act of trust, he told her everything cluing her in on the plan completely. He was a clone sent to obtain information and allies, and this showed her that to at least to some degree she could trust him as he seemed both honest and committed to his prime directives. With another small conversation, they began to make the trek back to Shinramoto. Lorelei had been exhausted, she had pushed herself to her limitation, hungry, tired and sore. Lena offered to carry her and after an awkward moment, Lorelei took her offer. As Lena carried Lorelei forward through Shinramoto toward the main port village of Mori the bandit Topaz began to speak to and try to gauge Smith. With a few sexist remarks aimed toward him, Smith deflected his words and swatted his annoying conversation away like the gnat he was becoming. After about an hour of walking the small group reached the outskirts of Mori. Lena introduced them to a young teenage woman who she called Hawkeye and they continued onward into the village proper. Lena showed them to a small home introducing them to a woman named Juliana and explained that Lorelei could rest, and eat here and that Topaz could find an inn close by. Smith by this point was lost to ideas of how to fight the Black Ones, how to protect these people and indirectly his own. As soon as Lorelei was gone, safe inside the home he began in a manic tone. The first thing he asked Lena was her line. She replied with a reserved response, one Smith saw through. She said she didn't have one, and that anything was on the table. Smith knew instinctively that this was a lie. He pushed her further explaining just a few of the cruel, sadistic things his mind was working on. She reminded him that they were in imminent danger and that they needed to go to the front-lines where she would show him about all of the defenses and people she was working on and with. When they arrived Smith was disappointed. Numerous crudely crafted trenches, and a large swath of average people. These weren't the fighters he needed. He thought they would just get in the way, so he explained about a wall he would build. Lena disregarded his words and told him she needed to go toward Takauji's lands to obtain more allies. Smith didn't want to overstep his place as a guest so he let her go. She left him with a man named Zeri who turned out to be the actual person in charge. Smith couldn't see this and tried to explain what he was trying to convince Lena of to him. He thought if he could grab the ears of her people maybe he could get her to listen. He told Zeri about a map he obtained and how it could be used. He seemed much more interested in Smith's strategies, abilities, and plans than Lena had been. While this happened Lena traveled to a neighboring land and sought more allies. She was met by a group of men that agreed to return with her to Shinramoto but as she turned to return home she was abruptly and underhandedly attacked nearly killed by a sneak attack. Angered by this she fought back quickly dispatching the entire group before grabbing a horse and dragging herself back to Mori injured. Once there she sought out Zeri, wanting to explain everything to him. However, she was injured to a point of near unconsciousness. Smith was in a tent of his own relaying everything to Sado his creator through a communication scroll when he heard the commotion and rushed out of his tent. During all of the business in Shinramoto, Sado back in Takinomori was under a fair bit of stress. No longer manic he was in a depressive state consigned to do nothing until he was needed. He was unsure of what to do now, that was until finally, Trunks sought him out. Trunks tried to explain where he went and why but Sado cut him off before he could finish. Sado went on to tell Trunks his entire story, from before birth until now. The story he remembered was a sad one of a lost boy searching for family, and for love. A story where the boy was scorned and shunned until he finally failed and was exiled. Sado told Trunks that if he had a problem with him he could bring it up and they could work on it. Trunks mentioned his own past about an absentee father and a single mother who did everything she could for her child. He told Sado how he only wanted peace and mentioned a description of his father. A short, prideful man with a pronounced widow's peak. He seemed to be describing Vegeta and Sado mentioned that. Trunks seemed petrified, as he ordered everything in his mind. Was everything he was after here? Was his joining the Golden Sabbath a coincidence or fate itself? Trunks knowing everything he had done was hell-bent on fighting his absentee father and put those feelings into words. Sado could understand the kid, he needed closure and this whole interaction broke Sado out of his depressive state. Sado told Trunks to go to the marketplace and retrieve his objects of power, and buy more as he shoved a large amount of Ryo into the kid's hands telling him to use it to prepare. Trunks asked for what and Sado told him he would lead him to his father when he was ready. Trunks darted off after accepting the Ryo and went to the marketplace. Once there he entered the bank retrieving his ring, and then he went to the auction house buying another artifact of power that synergized with his first artifact. He set out to return to Sado and upon his return and a second small conversation the two set out to where Vegeta was. Vegeta had found himself north-east of Kushasogen by this point he had been exploring and found a small area with a lot of commotion going on. He used his Byakugan to survey the area as he wrote back to Sado about it. Sado explained that it sounded like the Haunted Forest and that they had an alliance with them. He also mentioned that he was on his way and that he'd be there soon and only told him not to hurt anyone related to the Haunted Forest or the masked man calling himself Grenth. Trunks and Sado continued onward toward the Haunted Forest to meet Vegeta and to check in on Grenth and the Haunted Forest. Back to Smith, as he rushed out of his tent to see what was happening he was met with an extremely wounded Lena. He pushed aside the gathering crowd and tried to heal the woman. His hands and chakra were met by a strange substance a dark thread-like material was what her body was primarily made out of. Smith didn't know if the healing natured chakra would work so he pumped an immense amount of it into and through the wounds. Slowly they began to close and he was relieved. Lena told Smith and Zeri what happened. Smith felt like something like this would happen and due to this, he was momentarily vindicated in his words until she cried out that they were coming now. Smith was angered as he moved outward toward the border of Shinramoto. He crafted a massive double-layered earthen wall filling it with oobleck making it a very strong and dependable wall. With a small opening left he summoned forth a Triple-Rashomon gate as a distraction preparing the field for what would come next-... the [I]Battle of Shinramoto.[/I] This event would grow to be known as the first real war-like battle for the Golden Sabbath, for Shinramoto and for Takauji and his Black Ones. With haste and destruction a massive battalion of shinobi, summoning creatures including bears and birds, as well as a small number of Black Ones rushed forward toward the wall Smith had just created. With Lena now by his side atop the wall the two began to fight back against the invasion force. Lena used a large jet of flames to roast a large portion of the advancing troops while using special cards to take out any stragglers. She was resigned to use close-quarters combat and put her life on the line but it was easy to see she was holding back not wanting to unnecessarily kill. Smith on the other hands. Well, he allowed a seal placed upon his mind to segregate his more violent tendencies to release them. After this action, Smith was a completely different person, as he summoned forth Salazzle his personal summon. He created a massive combination of flammable poison and fire while directing Salazzle to summon forth a massive column of flammable poison that was lit ablaze immediately. What followed was a napalm-like offensive that covered nearly every advancing shinobi in a wave of napalm burning them profusely melting their flesh, clothes, and armor causing a large portion of the summoning creatures to reverse summon as the poison caused a crippling effect creating an intense fear. [CENTER][SPOILER][MEDIA=youtube]rdB6TGonTms[/MEDIA][/SPOILER][/CENTER] What took place next was a large scale battle with Lena and Smith standing in front of Shinramoto atop the wall blocking all incoming shinobi from approaching. The first wave was rather mundane just normal shinobi only a few were able to scale the wall, a mere two reaching Smith. He tossed a technological device he had been working on at them and with an explosion of liquid and gaseous poison they were reduced to blood smears along the wall, ground and even Smith's cloak. This was around when Smith noticed Lena, she was holding back, killing only when absolutely necessary. Smith called out to her yelling out with a visceral call, he told her that if she didn't stand up and make the hard choice to kill everyone trying to hurt her people then some would get through their combined defense and they'd have no problem killing her people. As he said that the oobleck began to rush upward with numerous grappling-hook-like constructs bursting through a few shinobi's chests as they tried to move forward abruptly pulling them down under the oobleck crushing them under the shear viscosity. Lena continued to use her cards to try and dispatch a large portion of the individuals until a massive summoning creature a bear burst through the gate in a rushing dash of speed and strength. She seemed to call on her dark threads as a being flew upward into the air as a violet-hued wind began to whip around the field blasting numerous shinobi and the bear with sharp winds that tore through a large portion of the advancing force harming the bear but not killing it. With it making its way into the grasslands of Shinramoto Lena used an incoming wave of birds to carry her forward above the battle as she began killing more and more of the intruders falling from the bird and landing near the bear. Smith instructed Salazzle to deal with the bear as he himself dealt with the advancing forces and now the Medical shinobi who had begun healing their allies. Salazzle extended ten toxic threads from her fingers having them connect to the bear pumping poison directly into it's vascular and chakra systems causing it to pass out before dying. Several Black Ones jumped from the bear as Salazzle controlled the threads to detach from the bear and connect to them having a similar effect. While this happened Smith surrounded the upper atmosphere in gaseous poison causing the immeasurable amount of birds to begin reverse summoning as he converted the gas to liquid coating them in sticky heavy poison. With a massive crashing wave of poison, the birds were either reverse summoned or they slammed into the wall breaking their necks upon the defense dying due to stubbornness. The wave of poison continued downward coating everyone and everything including the Medical shinobi in thick dense poison. However, one individual had gotten through the onslaught. He seemed to be the commander, and with a wash of kunai and tags, he summoned forth another large battalion in front of the wall all approaching Lena on horseback. As they ran forward Smith turned only having one plan, for such an action. He created a massive swamp and had it rush upward surrounding a large number of the army as it sucked them down under the swamp. This left Lena and just the commander. Smith stood to the side content to let her finish this. After a short and decisive battle, it was plain to see Lena was the victor. Or was she? The commander began to laugh, as his face and body began to turn to dust. A distraction. He laughed uncontrollably as his body shifted becoming silt and soil breaking apart and falling from Lena's grasp. Then they both saw it-... ships off the western port approaching at a rapid pace. This entire battle was a distraction to tie them up so the ships could approach undetected hidden and silent. Lena was furious as she called forth a barnacle construct and flew off. To say Smith was angry, would be an understatement. Smith had long ago given into his secondary personality. He was violent and livid. His primary personality called out through the silence telling him to go to Lorelei. Smith replied by yelling SHUT UP! At no one. This frightened Salazzle momentarily as Smith rushed forward taking several steps forward before diving off the wall growing two fleshy bat-like wings. He flew inward toward everything going on picking up two shinobi who had rushed from the ships to attack townsfolk. He lifted them up high into the air and like two cymbals he crashed them together breaking their bodies and dropping them back to the ground. He was lost to his more barbarous nature due to his Goliath upbringing and warrior training. He raced toward Lorelei stopping in an alley as a shinobi approached one of Lena's allies from behind. He wrapped his wings around him as he tore him to pieces. He had Salazzle take the shinobi's sword as he set it up with trap seals to protect Lorelei. He couldn't see her now, well he didn't want her to see him like he was a broken mess. He flew off leaving Salazzle to go into the house and tell Lorelei they had to flee. As she made it to Lorelei [B][I]BOOOM![/I][/B] a cannonball from one of the ships tore through the building tearing away the roof and knocking Lorelei unconscious. As this happened something snapped inside of Smith as his body began to react to his emotions. His body began to suck in natural energy instigating a bodily response where he became a grotesque demonic form of flesh, bones, and weapons. With a high-pitched screech, his body began to condense natural energy and chakra as numerous vents appeared on his body. His eyes darted toward the ship as with a massively loud laser-like noise an explosive beam of pure energy and hatred blew forward tearing a huge hole in the hull of the ship vaporizing several Black Ones. The ship immediately began to capsize as Smith in a blur of aggression he zoomed forward toward the port. His body further changed as he was able to direct every ounce of hate, anger, and aggression into a state of meditation. He was no longer thinking his mind was an empty cup as his body reacted instinctively. A vanta-black aura of darkness began to bulge outward choking the life out of any shinobi close enough. He tore through shinobi after shinobi as he carved a messy and bloody path to the port. Once there he proceeded to tear through another ship using the condensed aura to create arms that pierced into the ship forcing it to like the other to capsize. Juliana and Viola allies of Lena along with Topaz gathered up the children and Lorelei who was now unconscious and tried to escape. After fleeing partially Juliana and Topaz were both struck by a taijutsu user. As they both laid upon the ground the man lowered a sword toward Topaz. Salazzle spun her body three times and tossed the sealed sword toward the incoming blade the two blades clattering together. As they struck one another the sealed sword began to flare up as it released a massive amount of poison forward blasting off one of the man's arms as Salazzle yelled out to him "He knows." The man was injured and angry as Smith was then informed of everything the seal had gathered. Smith bolted toward the fleeing group landing down upon the aggressor tearing him apart directly in front of Topaz. He reached out and healed Juliana and Topaz before floating high into the air watching Lena continue her aberrant activities. Almost in unison to these actions from Smith, Lena seemed to be going through her own harrowing events. She saw the smoke rising from the wooden structures, horror in her eyes she tried to take it in, as her chest had sunk. She fought through countless shinobi finally finding their captain. After a short fight, her tone and persona seemed to shift as she became more violent, seemingly narcissistic, unsympathetic, and rather impulsive as she took on a form similar to Smith's with dark energy being released from her palms literally converting her body to dark energy. She told him to call her Lord Sorrows as she went on to open up her arms like a mother welcoming a hug before she radiated in chakra and unleashed a blast from each of her chakra points. A wave of dark chakra decimated the area around her, leaving a massive hole in the Town hall and blowing away the Captain. He was dead, the town hall was a bit dead, what was left was the bell tower and the entrance, the walls between and roof were destroyed. She left a silhouette of the orb that had destroyed it in the structure. Though it looked as though if one were to touch it, it would collapse in on itself. Lord Sorrows had a pair of dark wings erupt from her back with two dark orbs at the center of both wings. She flew up into the air high above the village to get a good look at what was happening and in doing so her and Smith ended up near one another. Together they realized that the battle was basically over. Lena, or Sorrows as she was calling herself seemed like she wanted to continue the fight and move on to Degrashi Port. It was an unusual scenario Smith had to be the voice of reason as he shifted back to his natural primary personality. He explained that he felt like now was when they had to gather their allies and help their people. He went on to land upon the ground healing Lorelei, then Topaz and he waited. Sorrows went on to the port to continue killing any stragglers and there she was met by a very sad, situation. Her ward, Hawkeye had been killed during the battle. With her body laid out in front of her, she seemed to return to normal as grief overwhelmed her. She placed her hands upon the child and tried to force copious amounts of healing natured chakra into the child-... but it was to no avail. She was already dead. Smith tried to make jokes as he healed the people, but a lot of them seemed like they didn't want to hear it. He eventually excused himself and went on to form a clone, that dispersed immediately informing Sado of everything. He returned to the group and so did Lena with the child in her arms. [CENTER][/CENTER] Trunks and Sado had arrived in the Haunted Forest where they found it was on lockdown. Someone had kidnapped a child no one was to be left in or out. The guard would lead Trunks and Sado to Vegeta who Sado went on to introduce Trunks too. Both seemed quiet as all three waited for the events going on to come to a close. Vegeta informed Sado about what was happening and that Grenth was currently fighting someone in a hidden cave, with a child being fought over. After some time Grenth allowed the evildoer to flee so that he could take the child to be healed. He was able to remove the toxin the boy had been injected with, but the effects were still present namely his arms had disintegrated. Grenth brought the child to Sado begging him to help. Sado did his best stabilizing the child, giving him medicine that would increase his blood flow as he closed his wounds. As this happened the child began to twist and turn his body morphing. Sado knew he could help him now as he forced another medicine onto the child which altered his body making it so that the cells repaired and replaced what was missing. His arms were repaired as Grenth created a chalk creature that shuttled him away to safety. Sado realized this boy was like his kind. He was a goliath or at least related to them. He explained this to Grenth and told him that one day the child would lash out in confusion and hurt others. If that day came Sado wanted him to send the boy to him for training. Grenth agreed. Sado explained everything that had been happening and that he wanted Grenth to join the Golden Sabbath after gathering up new lands. As Sado explained what was happening in Shinramoto Vegeta ran off. He wouldn't allow the man who placed bounties on their heads to continue what he was doing. Vegeta was prideful, just knowing that someone was trying to snuff out the Golden Sabbath angered him. He rushed onward to Shinramoto traveling through the Land of Fire in a day. As he departed Grenth and Sado continued their conversation Sado explained that he was going to be holding a summit for all for he clans of the Badlands of Earth soon. Grenth agreed, he would gather more lands under his protection and then pledge fealty to the Golden Sabbath. Trunks seemed shocked and petrified once more as he was introduced to his father. He wasn't able to say a word before his father was gone. Sado spoke to him after Vegeta had left before he had a chance to leave himself. [I]"Trunks, you're a good kid."[/I] He said trying to comfort him. Vegeta eventually made his way to Shinramoto and there he met Lena and Smith. He got there right after everything that had happened. Smith was in the middle of trying to comfort Lena. He explained that she had done everything she could and none of this was her fault. He thought she seemed to understand but he didn't really know. He then excused himself to go explain everything to Vegeta who he noticed had been traveling on a large snake. He told him about everything that had happened then introduced them. He hoped Lena saw that when she allied herself with the Golden Sabbath she had made a good decision as he told her this was but the first of the allies he had brought together. She seemed to excuse herself as she had some things to deal with. Smith understood there was much to do, a lot to rebuild and people to comfort. He waited with Vegeta as they discussed what to do next. Zeri offered them food and a place to rest. Neither felt much like resting.
