Hell’s Depths is named so because of the many deep gorges and treacherous, near vertical drops that cover the mountainous landscape. Due to the particular geology of the area very sharp stalagmites have accumulated at the bottom of these pits and as mist and snow blanket the area seasonally these become death traps, making the area extremely dangerous to traverse. The many signs on its periphery to warn travelers of the risks have been taken down by the newly settled Arali members. Specifically, Arali of the Lilin race had gathered in the depths of these mountains and created a home for themselves. Most of them don't stay put for too long but the village serves as a resting place for them whenever they aren't out learning more about the human species. It is said that the founder of the village is an ice wielding Arali whom has strong ties to the human kind and seeks to form a pact between the races. The village itself is hidden beneath the stalagmites and blankets of snow and ice, thus is typically hard to even be found unless travelers put themselves in danger of entering the pit.
Alice (spawning) opens her eyes to little flakes of snow falling from the sky, melting away as they kiss against her face. She gazes into the clouds, feeling a certain comfort from the quiet and calm environment, despite its name.
This post marks the beginning of my (our) mission using these storyboard elements:
-Guard someone very important (5)
-Save a large community from danger (5)
-Assassinate the enemy Commander (5)
Summary: The story of this mission takes place in the Badlands of Earth, where on my travels back home came across two individuals, one child and one elder, whom offered me kumi to help guide them to across the Land. Not explaining much, but could tell by the look on the mans face they were running from something. I accepted the proposal, little did i know the next few days would provide many challenges and dangerous challengers.
...Or maybe they were silly thoughts, Alice twisting her head to her left, toward the two individuals she's helping guide across Hell's depths and the Badlands. The child seemed innocent, without a worry on his face. The elder though, whether it was because he was unsure of me or because he's hiding something, appears to constantly "look over his shoulder", as if he knows expecting something. Alice wondered what would lead them hear? Not many outside individuals travel through here because of its dangers. It wasn't uncommon for Alice to accept missions on a whim. With the shits shes been through in her young life, helping others gave her certain satisfaction.
Alright, Its time we get moving, before the sun goes down. The weather becomes brutal at night and navigating wont be easy.
She said as she sat up and began to stand. Knowing if it were to get dark, it would become too dangerous for the others. Wiping off the snow attached to her clothing, she made sure the others had their things and order and then began walking with the child and elder following close behind.
And so Isako arrived at the location he surmised to be the first part of the riddle. It was here in Hell that the guilty rested, each and every inhabitant judged and condemned by the Almighty's unquestionable justice. Yet, it was barren and there was no life to be harvested. Isako moved across the lightly dusted rocks in search of a sign. It was a riddle after all, there must have been some deeper meaning. Where most of his journey had thus far been cold, the climate of Hell's Depths was indeterminate. Cold patches gave way to blistering heat where gorges bellowed forth fire and brimstone. It was a welcome change for Isako who let the heat warm his chilled bones. "Ahhh, ain't that better?"
It was a dangerous land and sporadic bones told a story of travelers meeting an early demise as its hand. But Isako was no mere traveler, and it would take more than geography to end his journey. It became apparent that the surface didn't hold the answer to his quest, and so Isako turned his gaze downward. Standing on the precipice of a rather large ravine he peered over the edge. "Whaddya say Tankami, in we go?"
"Out of the freezer and into the furnace..." It seemed that there would be no easy leg in this quest. The ancient core brought Isako to the frozen north, and now it begged him into fiery depths. He dropped into the ravine and scaled the rocky wall. The floor he landed on was warm to the touch revealing great power beneath it. He moved onward in the descending direction moving deeper into the earth itself. Soon enough the open chasm above became a rocky ceiling and the smell of sulfur burned Isako's nostrils.
As the light of the gorge faded behind him, Isako saw a new glow taking shape ahead. Red and orange light guided him forward until he came to an opening in another, smaller gorge, barely a few meters wide with a minuscule footing path running along a red river of lava. "Well I'll be...would ya look at that big guy? What's that look like to ya?"
Shukaku pondered for a moment and then realized what Isako saw. "Blood..." It seemed that Isako had arrived at his answer, or at least another part of it. They had ventured into Hell in search of the guilty's blood, and here they stood before the blood of Hell itself. They sought to forge a weapon, to fill the black gem with power, and power flowed freely through the veins of Hell. But the riddle was not yet complete. "Seek out the blood of the guilty, one hundred offerings should suffice." What did they mean by one-hundred offerings? Unsure, Isako pushed onward, following the guilty blood to its conclusion.
The lava guided him through winding chasms until it came to a cliff where the blood dropped over the side and fell into a circular pool below. Isako looked around the cavern surrounding the pool and saw a number of other falls reaching the same source. He had reached the center. "Looks like the end of the tunnel..." Isako dropped down into the cavern and approached the edge of the pool. "So...what now?"
They stood in silence for some time, until Shukaku had an idea. "Toss the gem in the pool." It was a bold suggestion, and came as a surprise to Isako.
"In the lava?! What if it burns!" The gems reeked of strength, but could it survive such heat?
Shukaku chuckled, "Graha, it won't. I've seen all sorts of wonders in my time. I might not know the exact nature of this relic, but it would take more than nature to shatter it."
Slowly Isako uncorked his gourd of sand and guided the black gem into his hand. Reluctantly, he tossed it into the bloody heart of Hell. "Uhh...ain't nothing happenin' big guy..."
They waited in an awkward silence while Isako started to get nervous. Had they come all this way just to throw their quest away? Just as he started to accept his mistake, the lava began to stir. It bubbled in the center and then exploded upward. Isako leaped back away from the edge to give himself some safe distance as the column subsided. At its center stood a golem of stone, fire, and lava, and at its heart was the black gem.
"The gem!" The stone construct let out a roar that spewed forth lava. Isako's sand spilled from his gourd and intercepted the molten rock. "Gah! It stole our frickin' stone! That fucker!"
Isako inhaled a deep breath a blew out a powerful blade of wind that crashed into the body of the golem. It stumbled back a step, but was otherwise unscathed. "Tough bastard!"
The creature leaped out of its birthing pool and came down towards Isako with both hand descending in fists. Again Isako's sand moved to intercept, but this time the golem's attack broke through. The explosive force threw Isako back into the cavern wall where a layer of sand cushioned his collision, though he coughed up a spittle of blood.
"The hell...is this the gem's power?" He used his sleeve to wipe away the blood and pushed himself back to his feet. The golem stepped forward so Isako commanded his sand to envelope it tightly, binding it. He held both hands open, palms forward, and then clenched them violently together. The sandy prison surrounding the golem collapsed inwards on itself with deadly force, crushing the prisoner within.
"Take that ya fucker!" His boasting was short lived. The sand exploded outward and the golem was once again unscathed. It raced forward and Isako was forced to flee upward on a cloud of sand. The golem unleashed a barrage of molten boulders that Isako barely was able to navigate between. "Tch!"
Shukaku offered his advice, "It's a test, a measure of your strength. Let's show it what we can do"
"Ya got it boss!" Isako held up his right hand and gathered wind and sand in his palm. The elements swirled around and danced together in his hand. Into a tight forming sphere they formed, swirling like a contained storm. "Alright Tankami! Pump it up!"
Shukaku released his power into Isako who channeled it into the sand and wind. The sphere inflated in moments moving from the size of a normal rasengan to that of an oodama rasengan. Wind and sand swirled around Isako in the air as the power of the Desert Storm radiated outward. "Let him have it kid!"
The duo roared out together, "EAT EAT THIS! THIS!"
Isako threw the ball down at the golem which braces for impact. It stretched out it's arms to catch the storm and the two forces clashed. They both stood resolute for a moment, but the golem blinked first. The creature was pushed back into the cavern wall and the storm crushed into him with fall force. The shape of the sphere gave way as the storm of wind and sand exploded outward and carved through stone. The power of the Jinchuriki and his Tailed Beast was furious to behold.
Isako descended to the cavern floor as the storm subsided leaving behind a layer of sand in it's wake. The cavern wall had been extended several meters, and the golem was nowhere to be found. Isako strode forward and where the golem once stood sat the black jewel atop a mound of sand. No longer pure black, the gem had a smoldering red heart at it's center. Isako bent down to lift it, but the stone burned to the touch.
"Gah! Well, guess we got the blood of the guilty down...and we sure as hell gave that bastard more than 100 offerings! We gotta temper this thing now...to the tears of the innocent we go!" Isako controlled the sand to lift the gem and draw it back into his sand where the heat could be contained until the tears were found.
With the first task complete, Isako departed from Hell in search of innocence.

( Suna no Tate ) - Shield of Sand x2
Type: Defensive
Rank: A
Range:Short
Chakra Cost: 30 (per use)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: A self sustaining, self aware, autonomous defense, its the technique which made Gaara renown for having what was later called "Perfect Defense". Basically, any Sand nearby will encircle the user and move to intercept any attack that is used against him. The sand is fast enough to intercept otherwise "instant" techniques such as Amaterasu or very fast Taijutsu attacks (up to trice the users base speed) and can stop A-Rank blunt force impacts such as those delivered by Taijutsu or solid elements. The sand can even create an otherwise perfect sphere of sand around the user in a split second. Even if the user is unaware of an attack, the sand will protect him. The disadvantage is that the shield will drain chakra from the user each time it defends him, which happens without his input. However, the user can still defend from techniques and "will" the shield to not act if he is in the process of producing a counter to the impending attack. In some special circumstances, the sand can gather and form a female-like protector in the path of an incoming technique, much stronger than the normal shield of sand and which can protect the user from attacks up to S-Rank.
Note: Its defensive abilities still follow elemental weakness and strengths.
Note: If there is no dirt or sand on the battle field, the technique will use the users own Sand from his Sand Gourd.
Note: S-Rank protection will disable the Sand Shield for 2 turns and can only be activated once every 4 turns.
Note: Only useable by Gaara.
Bijutsu: Chakra Tensõ no Jutsu ) - Tailed Beast Skill: Chakra Transfer Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: This is an advanced ability that ninjas with great chakra control can learn to use and that Bijuu possess innately. The user will release his or hers unmolded chakra onto another ninja, effectively transferring it. The technique has many uses, from restoring an allies chakra to releasing him from a Genjutsu or simply to give him more chakra to mold, allowing him to drastically boost the power of a technique. Tsunade could even use this technique, together with her Creation Rebirth technique to, in conjunction with her summon Katsuyu, heal multiple people at the same time during Pain's attack on Konohagakure. If used to power the use of a technique, the recipient of the chakra can boost one technique by adding +20 chakra to it which increases its damage by +40. To do this, the recipient must mold the technique while the user of Chakra Tenso no Jutsu is transferring chakra into him, meaning that both the transfer and the technique must be done at the same time. The transfer can only be done with direct contact between user and target and restores the targets chakra by 100 points per turn. Bijuus can use this technique on their host to restore their chakra reserves or boost their stamina by giving them 200 chakra points directly with each use. This ability is the core method through which Bijuus and Jinchuriki innately use advanced techniques such as chakra cloaks and complete/incomplete transformations which are advanced uses of Chakra Transfer, where the bijuu transfers his or her chakra onto his or her host.
Note: Cannot be used to power the users own techniques.
Note: All Jinchuriki can use this technique.
Note: Usable 3 times per battle.
Type: Attack
Rank: S

Chakra Cost: 40 + 20 =60
Damage: 80 + 20 + 40 = 140
Description: The user will use their wind release to gather wind and sand together into a highly compressed sphere of wind and sand between their hands. At its peak the sphere will look to be a solid orb of sand around the size of a basketball. Once completed they will fire the sphere at their target at high speeds. On impact it will erupt into a giant storm of wind and sand that shreds apart everything caught within it. The scope of this storm is the same as the explosive radius of a typical tailed beast bomb, leaving a large barren field covered with sand in its wake. The Ichibi can also use this technique by constructing the ball using his tail and mouth.
-Can be used twice per battle by standard sand users
-Can be used once per transformation by the Ichibi

(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye (ref)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (+5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: The kekkei genkai intrinsic to both the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans—descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Those who possess this dōjutsu have it manifested as eyes with featureless white irides and no visible pupils. And when activated, the pupils become more distinct and the veins near their temples bulge. To activate the dōjutsu, Hyuga but not Ōtsutsuki clan members are initially obliged to use a rather long and specific sequence of handseals: Horse → Tiger → Boar → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar → Snake. But once activated, the dōjutsu user is endowed with a range of skills.
To start, an activated Byakugan gives the user a near 360º diameter field of vision bar one blind spot at the back of the neck, above the first thoracic vertebra. Its vision can penetrate through any solid objects or obstructions, and likewise remains unaffected by blinding interferences. But that being said, certain barriers and the like may distort its perception. In addition, it is able to follow high-speed movements, which enables those with this dōjutsu to analyze their foes' actions and better react to them. The Byakugan is also able to see chakra to a higher degree than the Sharingan and ergo, identify where a person's chakra signature originates from. Beyond that, it can discern certain types of clones from the real person. And its ability to see chakra is in fact so acute that those who possess this dōjutsu are even able to see the chakra pathway system and the 361 tenketsu that comprise it. The Hyūga clan has gone so far as to develop their unique Gentle Fist style in order to capitalize on this particular ability.
Note: Hyuga clan bios of at least Sannin rank become able to passively activate their dōjutsu upon one month having passed since Gentle Fist training concluded. Ōtsutsuki bios never need to expend a move in order to activate it.
Note: While traversing the NW, bios with activated Byakugan are able to see up to two 2 adjacent landmarks away while those of sage rank can see as far as three away, but this doesn't extend beyond an ocean landmark.
Putting the book away, his eyes tell him the terrain ahead is far too treacherous for Boit so he fathams what to do about it. Didn't take long for him to select an attack, one of his favorite from the lightning techniques he knew. Vegeta begins molding his Raiton chakra, covering both his hands in lightning which screams out loudly as his hands crackle from the enhanced chakra. Vegeta then kneels down and jumps as high as he can, holding both hands straight out to his sides, and reaching the apex of his leap, he slams both hands together connecting near the wrists, both hands facing outwards with lightning wildly emanating from the two. He was using his eyes to gauge how far the former human was from them, so as to clear a path straight to it and to sort of knock on the door, so to speak. with this quick calculation in place, Vegeta releases the mass of Raiton chakra from his hands as he exclaims..
Final... FLAAAAAAAASH!
A huge thunderbolt shoots from Vegeta's hands, cutting thru the mountanous terrain like butter till it hits the ground, landing square in between them and the Brat of Tiamat. With a tremendous explosion, the terrain was damn near wiped clean, leaving a clear path straight towards the beast and would provide a decent field for battle..
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80+30=110
Description: The user will cover his hands in with lightning, essentially performing a (Raiton: Chidori) Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds in each hand. Clapping his hands together, the user can unleash that massive amount of lightning chakra into the form of a powerful Thunderbolt directed at the target. The technique is best used if the user has a height advantage in relation to the target. The thunderbolt is strong enough to leave a giant crater and cannot be used while being in Short-range of the target, at the risk of being hit also.
Vegeta however was not done, landing back on top of Boit's head, while the explosion occurs Vegeta has already moved onto his next set up for this battle, disgustedly he molds his water chakra and performs 6 seals, forming rain clouds with his chakra as far as the eyes could see, rain begins to fall that enhance Vegeta's sensing on a different scale but would also serve another purpose..
(Suiton: Ukojizai no Jutsu) - Water Style: Rain Tiger at Will Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: A perception ninjutsu, allowing one to freely manipulate rain infused with the user's own chakra after waving the Bird → Rat → Ox → Monkey → Rat → Snake handseals. The rain falls from rain clouds, formed with the users own chakra. During this technique, the falling raindrops are closely linked to the users senses. When the rain is obstructed by a chakra belonging to someone the existence of the target can be detected. The rain will keep on falling until the user uses the seal to cancel it.
Once the rain was covering the LM, so of it was mixed in with small amounts of snow flurries as well, though this didn't affect the effects of the chakra linked rain. He kept his eyes on the target as Boit moves on an intercept course. Boit begins to glow yellow, as he gains a golden feather made of ash on his chest. They continue to push forwards, however Vegeta would jump off of Boit leaving him 1 range behind as back up if needed..
(Katon: Sanshō̄o no Kate) | Fire Release: The Phoenix Feathered Muffler (Boit)
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: Self
Chakra: 20 (-5 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: The Phoenix Feathered Muffler is a simple technique that involves the release of fire chakra that will cloak the user. Although this technique fully cloaks the user - as many defensive techniques do, it does not offer the typical defensive properties that a normal armour would, in fact, outside of the fiery golden glow that will emanate from the users visage, and the techniques special interaction with fire techniques, virtually nothing will change as the shroud is almost completely incorporeal. However, when the user is in contact with a flame that is either devoid of chakra, comprised of the users chakra, or comprised of the chakra of one that the user has a blood contract with, such as summons, the shrouds true abilities will be displayed. The user will be capable of interacting with any flame or fire technique that they produce without suffering from harm or adverse effects - such as respiratory problems - not only that but, should they so wish, they will be capable of interacting with fire as if it were a solid, liquid or gas - such as standing on top of a flame despite its incorporeal qualities or floating within a fire. This ability signifies the user as the 'Unburnt', gracing the user with an ability previously believed to be the sole realm of the Dragon and Phoenix. (Does not grant the user immunity to enemy fire techniques).
Notes:
This technique can be used a maximum of twice, will last until cancelled and has a two turn cooldown between usages. Furthermore a rather intriguing and strange effect of this technique is that, no matter how hard the user may try, they will be incapable of using water techniques while this technique is active. Stranger yet, is that the only solid portion of this technique is a feather comprised of golden ash, seemingly immune to anything but water, that will attach itself to the user's chest.
Will continue the bounty in a separate fight thread
-- Arriving in the aptly named landmark, Vayne & Douman would continue on their path with the former now picking up on several large chakra sources in the targeted landmark.
The company flew above the clouds over the continous hellscape that was Hell's Depths. Here the mountain ranges caved even more narrow paths to vertical shafts and canyons with razor sharp hill slopes no doubt being the reason of the name of the landmark. It would take the bandit gang several days to clear the way if they would follow them through here yet they were persistent as Alucard could still see their chakra traces from the bordering country to the south east. It was still a risky move to traverse through this landscape even if they would casually float above it with their cargo. Drifter expressed his concern in his typical almost joking fashion.
I don't want to be that guy who doubts what seems to be the incarnation of the devil itself buuut ya know.. If we fall from here there won't be a single piece of evidence that we ever existed in the first place.
Fall? Why would we fall..
Drifter pointed towards a huge cluster of thunderclouds that seemed to have fathomed the sky. The entire region was infamous for notorious weather afterall..
That right there kiddo. That, is the breaks of this floating ensemble if we fly through that we'll be dust.
Alucard acknowledged the nuisance of a weather that seemed unavoidable. Either way, he would not let the gods work crumble their path. He turned towards his daughter who was seemingly getting along with Carl, the two of them chattered in the back end of the platform.
Lilith, create a barrier for us.
She was not interested, she'd rather be alone with her new friend than help out her old man and Drifter.
You took on this mission, why don't you do it Otosan i'm busy.
Alucard was not ready for this sudden rebelious stage of his child. Could it be that she was already by now a teenager.. He facepalmed internally, knowing fully well there was no reason to even try to convince her to obey. A bit dejected he went back to the front of the platform where Drifter was sitting, on the edge dangling his feet in the air. On his way, Alucard gathered up Futon and Yin chakra simultaneously. A few handseals later he had summoned a great and majestic dome of wind and along with his Yin prowess he made it completely solid yet it remained fully transparent. This would act as a shield towards any lightning bolts as wind was a natural insulator and would stop current from flowing through it even now as it acted as a solid object. A glossy slightly blue hued crystalline exterior coated them now from above and around. The drifter slow clapped at the front of the platform and leaned back looking up at Alucard who was standing right behind him.
So ugh.. What exactly did you do?
Alucard shrugged confidently.
I commanded wind to form into a solid state around us. We can now continue through the thunderclouds without delay.
The four of them vanished into the black clouds and continued on their way to their destination. Jolts of lightning would strike the crystalized air but simply flare up into nothing upon impact. Alucards construction was doing it's job alright and as the night fell it was time to kick back and simply enjoy the ride through the thunder.
Sin continued to move with haste, avoiding all forms of life as he hastened to lands in which he would never be recognised. He avoided any known roads and tried to bring no attention to himself in his travels. He slept without a fire to warm him and fed himself with dried out meat along the way. He need to escape the the organisation seeking to end his freedom.
