-Fighting on a Cruise Ship, top deck, opposite sides of a pool.
Tankun was laid out on a chair, soaking up the sun. A half-empty pina colada sat on a table next to him, along with several empty glasses. A host of Tanuki filled the chairs to his sides.
Ahhh, this is the life, ya know? Drinking, relaxing, just kicking back and forgetting things for a while.
He felt a sudden chill run up his spine, someone was approaching. He sharply sat up and pushed his sunglasses down on his nose to see some one, some thing staring at him from the other side of the pool.
....you! What the hell are you doing here?! You...who are you again?
The sun was high overhead and shining brightly down on the deck of the S.S. Titanic 2: Electric Bugaloo. Tankun grabbed his rice hat and balanced it on his head. His eyes adjusted to the shade and the thing morphed into a feminine figure, dark hair and tight from top to bottom. A bit too tight for Tankun's liking, she didn't look like the type for fun.
Well, well, a fan, eh? How 'bout I lose these trunks, and you lose...all of that, and we take a dip?
Tankun grinned and moved a hand to his waist, reaching into his trunks in a crude manner. He pulled out a tan, tubular object, around six inches long, and firm. He flicked open the scroll and summoned his custom weapon, Scorpio, on his back.
(Sukopion) - Scorpio
Type: Weapon
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damaga: N/A
Description: Scorpio was developed as a weapon for sand users to replace the typical gourd of sand seen used by people such as Gaara. While the gourd itself was useful, it had little value beyond being a simple container for the sand inside. The Scorpio on the other hand was developed to not only carry sand, but to be a useful tool in battle. The shape is designed after the tail of a scorpion, with numerous segments which end with a stinger-like head. The segments are each composed of dozens of hand-sized "scales" which each are hollow, sharply edged and filled with sand. These scales are loosely bound and designed in a way that allows the user to release them at will. In close quarters combat, this allows the user to swing the tail for attacks and defense by controlling the sand inside with hand movements. The scales carry an inherent A-rank durability. The head segment of Scorpio has a nozzle where a scorpion's tail would have its stinger. This is where the sand inside is commonly released from, though it can also be released from between the scales for quicker access. In terms of abilities, the Scorpio has several.
An A-ranked highly compressed stream of sand can be fired from the nozzle reaching up to long range.
The scales can be released along with sand to swirl violently around a target. This can be used as an A-ranked attack up to mid-range by having the scales slice up the target, or as an omnidirectional shield around the user.
The user can use the sand within the tail to extend its reach momentarily, similar to Renji extending Zabimaru, for quick B-rank strikes up to mid range.
The strongest attack allows the user to release all of the sand from the nozzle of Scorpio in the form of a violent tornado. The tornado can be made directly from the nozzle and extend up to long range in any direction the user wants (horizontal, diagonal, vertical, etc.) or, they can stab the nozzle into the ground and have the tornado form from directly below the target. The tornado is S-ranked in strength and can be used twice, requiring the weapon to be replenished after each usage.
To replenish the interior of the weapon with sand the user can stab the nozzle into the ground and draw in sand (directly drawing in sand, or converting earth into sand). Because of the size of the weapon, it can be a bit cumbersome to the wielder. While wearing it they lose speed equivalent to one rank, though this penalty can be removed by devoting 15 chakra per turn towards supporting the weapon through sand manipulation. As it could be an annoyance to carry a weapon of this size everywhere, the user can summon it from a scroll kept on their belt when needed. Due to the construction of the weapon its very difficult to fully destroy. Precision attacks can cause the tail to shatter, and destroy a couple of scales, but it can simply be reformed the following turn.
-Simplified appearance: Fairy Tail's Scorpio tail x Shukaku's tail
-All abilities (aside from freeform CQC) count as a move in the user's turn and follow the standard rank/chakra cost/damage guidelines. Each has a one-turn cooldown.
-Loss of speed of one rank, or loss of 15 chakra per turn while wearing.
-Can only be used by sand users.
Kyahaha, not what you were expecting, eh? Sorry to disappoint, but you don't look like you're here for that type of show.
He looked back at his Tanuki companions and motioned them to leave with a nod of his head. The critters scurried away, making sure to take all of the remaining drinks with them.
Now then, let's see what kind of gal the world's brought me today!
Sand spilled free from Scorpio and hovered in the air around Tankun. He reached a hand forward taking command of some of the sand causing it to flow forward and gather in the air several meters above the woman. With a flick of his hand downward the gathered sand rained down on the woman from above as a rain of needles.
