Last Bastion (209)

[Imperfect]

Lucifer regarded the strange man who interjected with a look of bemusement, they sold all kinds of substances in the Last Bastion's seedier market stalls, perhaps this man had fell victim to some of the infamous hallucinogenic mushrooms. Turning back he would listen to Emiya speak.

"Things have been, confusing to say the least. Our time in Irkalla seems to have taken much longer up here in the real world than it did down there, the revelations of Phetra's death have echoed across the world already and now I'm seeing word of ancient weapons. It seems I've found the source of those rumours perhaps? Cutting causality sounds quite fantastic indeed, I could have used the aid of something that powerful when I fought a rampaging tailed beast recently."

Mugetsu closes his eyes and nods
No doubt no doubt... gods and forges. Where they at btw? I'm asking for a friend

The mention of a rampaging Beast was not lost on Emiya, but seeing as he wasn't in the know of Madara's ongoing hunt for the Tailed Beasts, nor was he really informed on what Tailed Beasts were exactly, and the only exceptions to this complete lack of knowledge being that Mirabelle's recently acquired powers, but even then it wasn't an extensive discussion, and one barred their path into Irkalla, he didn't truly give the statement any significance. Seeing no reason to attach himself to the topic, he moved back on to the one that brought them together.

"Wow, word spread fast. Yeah, I sent out a note that the Marzan and his Armory had been found.
He's an Immortal from the Age of the Gods, able to create weapons and tools that can bypass Divinity."​

As Mugetsu clearly indicated his complete and utter interest under the guise of a "friend", Emiya simply nodded in turn.

"Cutting causality's not something they can all do, this one's pretty unique in that regard. What exactly they can do is a question best left for the man himself. I can take you there if you want, it's not far."​

Turning on his heel, he began walking towards Innovus, turning back to face the bandage-clad stranger with a mocking tone.

"Your "friend" is welcome to join us, provided they're nearby?"​

"He's no friend of mine, but he seems harmless enough, probably sampled one to many delights of the market. No matter, let us depart if he follows he follows." Lucifer stated, while he could continue to discuss the swordsmith with Emiya, he could nary afford more delays, leaving a bijuu unattended even with the precautions he placed seemed unwise.

Mugetsu casually follows the lovers while whistling a cheerful melody. How he did that with his face covered behind bandages was a mystery as unique as this 'divinity' itself

Amid the murmurings of a nearby teashop, where the early afternoon bustling of the market's brimming hour began to set into the day, many folk chattered back and forth amongst themselves within the shop, each telling a different version of the same tale. Talk of a variety of worldly happenings; things like myth or legend. The telling of "The Forgemaster," the isle of mist and mystery that has spawned upon the horizon of the continents, adding a new blemish to the map of the known world. More than that, however, was the looming weight that held to the hearts of all those that filled the Bastion. Not long ago, they had suffered a catastrophic assault that decimated the population and the city itself by the hoards of Undeath that swarmed it. Now, a new tragedy has befallen the world anew: Like the whims of a bored God, seemingly half of humanity was wiped out in an instant, with no rhyme, nor reason.. Such an event was unprecedented, and frankly, begged investigation that had no starting line..

Yet the world had to keep turning all the same. While those that mourned once more dreaded every new day, still business had to continue on, if not but to spite the unfairness of the world that continued to taunt them with such misfortune. Among the local folk sat a slender figure, dressed quite sharply in fine fabrics that were tailored snuggly to his silhouette; adorned in the occasional iconic glimmering cut stone imbedded tastefully into his attire. With a teacup gripped tenderly in one hand, while being balanced carefully upon the palm of his other, he'd gracefully elevate the beverage in the occasion sip. He seemed like just another patron, yet his true intentions was the gathering of the stories being told around him. Listening was his forte, after all. The more he began to learn of the events that had taken place since he had last wandered the realms, the more he dreaded the notion of the inevitable possibility that something more nefarious was afoot than meets the eye. He was no stranger to things that implied divine tampering in the matters of mortals. Recent events was evidence to that alone..

For now, he had to pick a direction. Something needed to be done, and surely he could not idle any longer than he had up to now. Lifting his drink up for one final sip, emptying the cup, he'd bring it to rest upon the table he sat at before planting a small modicum of mora ryo upon the table; the price for services rendered, before he'd bring himself to a stand and begin to leave the teashop. Casting his golden gaze Northward, the man straightened his jacket. "Once more the land squirms beneath the march of a new Reckoning.. True to the repetition of history, I suppose. Mayhap this Forgemaster might have a story or two worth telling." With that, he'd step toward the Northern gates of the Bastion, eager to begin his journey across the land once again.

[Skorm]

Coming from [x]

The two had traveled along the mighty seas for some time now and were eager to set their feet on land again. Alucard and Lilith had arrived at the Last Bastion, the only marketplace in the entire Tobusekai to inspect the variety of Void Artifacts and casually bidding on a high profile set if there was one available. However, instead of finding another Void artifact to add to his already exceeding collection, Alucard noticed a flyer being stamped towards one of the stands in the vast marketplace.

Kind hearts of humanity, we ask of you to travel towards Crimson State Island, a civilization on the brink of unpreceeded elimination and destruction. Our home was hit hard by the new death of a disease of unknown origin and raiders are taking advantage of this. Please help us before our island crumbles into nothing but ashes.

Sincerely, Crimson State Island Citizenry.
​

Alucard took the flyer down from it's post and crumbled it in his hand. This was one of the places where he had rampaged on long ago and while the Outer Lands cried for attention, his own path now was indeed his own. The Hellsing Organization's purpose was carried out in the Outer Lands and he neededn't be there to see humanity triumph over it's sword enemies.

Intriguing.. If humanity is to survive, we can't focus entirely on Outer Lands. It's here that humanity resides, not there. Maybe this is indeed my true calling. Come along Lilith, we're leaving.

M'kay.
​

The two headed out to the sea again, but instead of using traditional means, Alucard would create a spherical platform that he used to achieve flight over the seas.

Coming from here

Baiken had FINALLY arrived at her destination... Now, she put her clothes back on and would take a rest by a nearby boulder close to the temple in which she was trying to find. Likely laid to waste by Phetra...

 

[Yin]

Coming from here

Baiken had FINALLY arrived at her destination... Now, she put her clothes back on and would take a rest by a nearby boulder close to the temple in which she was trying to find. Likely laid to waste by Phetra...

After taking her much needed break and rest, Baiken suddenly awoke, distraught and very aware. Something had pinged her sixth sense-like conscious on a level unimaginable to most... Who was she kidding... No one could imagine it. No one had the senses she did... She woke up from what felt like resting for days but in reality was only several hours. The scenary had not change, it was still nighttime, as if Baiken had just arrived. However it was unclear to her what time it actually was. She got herself up and relit her pipe to take a couple puffs as well as took a deep swig of her saki.

She surveyed the area. It was quite dull and uneventful. Baiken had no complaints. She was quite tired of the constant cutting down of her foes. Besides... That was not why she was here...

She traveled on forth to a nearby pillar. Nearby meaning at least a half a mile away... She gently laid her hand on it., rubbing it as if there was some connection of some sort she was gaining through this "totem".

"We are close..." she said to herself. She continued forth, but something didn't feel right... As she travelled on, the air pressure seemed to get more dense and heavier, as well as the general vibe of the place becoming more intense. Coming here was supposed to be the exact opposite, so Baiken was not quite sure of what was going on but she continued on forth anyway as she didn't come this far to turn back... The path towards the temple was dimly lit and foggy. Again, opposite of how Baiken envisioned. The deeper she got, the foggier it got and eventually she started to black out and give in to visions in her head while basically having her body autopilot towards her destination.

She saw visions of a green or goldish-skinned old man... Very old... She had seen him before in the past, but not sure from where... He was wielding some sort of flame in the palm of his hand while atop a giant turtle... Her visions were happening so slow in her head but her body was traveling ever so quickly through the fog towards the temple. As if her body itself knew exactly where to go as Baiken was not even technically conscious. She kept uttering and repeating short sentences as she traversed what had become more of a nightmarish land the further she got.

"Humanity..." "The flame..." "Save them..." "Millions of them..." she uttered as she finally came to a halt and came to. There were two pillars. One closer to Baiken than the other with the further one having the same flame the old man was holding in her visions. As she regained her sight in exchange for her visions, she uttered the name "Phetra". She did not question herself about who this was or how she uttered the name of someone, or something, she had never seen or met. Even though she had no answers, deep down inside, it was like she had indeed found them... But... What was it that she really found...

Her... "Humanity..." Baiken whispered to herself and she leaped atop the first flameless pillar to stare into the unique flames not but a few inches before her... However, this flame did not light up the area as flames should. Either something was wrong with the flames, or something wrong with Baiken being here... This area. It felt wicked to her. And although Baiken was no coward, she knew when to hold them and when to fold them. The sky got increasingly darker. Pitch-black as the clouds formed at the distance which would appear to be right above Baiken's head in the surrounding area.

In the back of Baiken's mind, something had shouted "LEAVE!" and startled her enough to get her to slip off of the first pillar but catch onto the next one with the flame. Almost like an impromptu jump. She slowly but surely pulled herself up to it. Someone, or something, was in Baiken's head. And it was very clear she was not welcome here for some reason by someone. Was Baiken not welcome here given her violent past... Or did that past mold her into something threatening to whatever invaded her mind... She did not sense anything in the surrounding area, but Baiken felt the threat of something beyond her words. Very uncharacteristic of her... While trying to survey the surrounding area, Baiken tripped asthe result of a large crack in the pillar... She got up and dusted herself off... However she noticed... She fell on the fire... And it did not burn her...

"What the?..." Baiken questioned herself. She slowly reached out to the flame but before she could touch it again to see what the deal was, the flame was somehow sucked inside of her and appeared to seal itself in her heart. The flame itself was attracted to Baiken... She aggressively patted herself down, desperately trying to put out what she thought would set her on fire. However it didn't take her too long to realize that she was not on fire at all... And something inside Baiken had changed... Emotionally and spiritually. She no longer felt the burden of her past woes but more of a duty to prevent it from happening to others. She no longer felt hatred and self-loathing, but love and self-care... Now granted, this seemingly did not change Baiken's stank attitude as a fly flew past her nose and she tried swatting it away while uttering the word "Baka..."... She didn't lose becoming the badass warrior she had become, but rather gained something otherworldly, or perhaps too worldly to explain or describe... At this time, what appeared to be wormholes in the sky started to open. On the other side seemed to be the cosmos, or something similar. What Baiken noticed as eyes, pitch-red, blinking in the portals. Multiple of these eyes in all of the portals Baiken could lay her eyes on. Earlier, she could not sense the presence of anything at all. Living or spiritual... Now, her senses were overwhelmed. This was not a good spot to be in... "Fold em..." she said to herself and ran back the way she came with the utmost urgency. Eventually, she got back to the shore unharmed and it seemed as if she was not followed. She stopped next to the same boulder she fell asleep on.

She started to have visions of the old hermit man again... He did not speak but held up a finger, harnessing the same flames that had sealed themselves inside Baiken's heart. He pointed towards his own heart in which the flames from his finger seemed to have gone inside him. The same way the flames on the pillar went into Baiken. She had no idea what the visions were telling her, but she was trying her best to interpret them.

Not wanting to waste anymore time as she was afraid those beings she saw would catch up to her, Baiken left the area with urgency and tried to sense the nearest presence she felt was non-threatening for help or comfort as what she went through was not necessarily the most calm thing someone could experience... She wrapped her hands with tape from her ninja pouch, shakily and lit her pipe in the same fashion: shakily. She continued wherever her heart took her without even knowing her heart was guiding her...

Golden light radiated the area briefly, disappearing just as quickly as it flashed into Last Bastion. The pair appeared in a solemn alley, no other observers were there to witness their transportation. "Feel okay?" Solomon asked, turning toward his traveling companion. They had quickly transported through Ars Paulina, his Throne World, and into Last Bastion. Quite the change of scenery. "Welcome back to the far east. The place where everything began for me and where the world nearly ended."

Arriving from the Beachhead

Isabella quickly shushed Solomon with a raised finger, while covering her mouth with her other hand. Taking a moment to steady herself, she dropped her hand back and tried to get her bearings. The air changed, and it was clear to her that they had left the Outer Lands entirely.

The world is suck a fickle thing, always nearly ending... Is this where your kindgom was?

Solomon raised an eyebrow at her comment, slightly puzzled. "I think it's a matter of perspective. The world has always gone through cycles. Long ago there was a golden age and at its heart was the Golden Empire, a magnificent administrative region that spanned Tobusekai. But as with everything it decayed and withered away." Solomon motioned to help her gain her footing before continuing, "My own kingdom, the Kingdom of Israel, was further to the east. Though it will not be Israel we will see. It will be something much, much stranger: the Tomb of Marduk."

Mission Start

Find the path to the Temple of Marduk

Isabella took in her bearings. They were in a dark alley, and it was filthy and smelly. As Solomon mentioned their path, she realized she had no idea how to get there.

I've never been that far east before.

But she didn't want to look any bit as foolish as she felt around Solomon, and so, the harder way it would be. Under the gaze of Solomon, Isabella would take the lead and head out of the back alley. Around the corner, a huge city sprawled before them, as people busied about in their day to day affairs.

She had mastered the cunning arts of deceit and sleight of hand for a long while now, and so, as she walked off into the core of the city, she would bump into people from time to time. To everyone, it would look normal, especially since no one person would see her bump into more than one citizen, for all these interactions would be lost in the crowd. No one, except Solomon, who would be able to see a pattern to Isabella's behavior.

As she bumped into one person, her eyes would flash red for a split of a second, which would be mimicked by the irises of her target. The person would be slighting dazed but would carry out their affairs normally, like nothing had even happen at all. All the while, Isabella would move with more and more assurance, until finally, reaching the edge of the great market place, she bumbed into one last person, which drunkenly blinked his eyes and then left them. Isabella took a step out of the Last Bastion and into it's surrounding woods, picking up a scroll from within her cloak.

( Doujutsu: Sharingan ) Eye Technique: Copy Wheel Eye

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary
Rank: C - A Rank ( A )
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 - 30 ( -5 per turn for 1T and 2T, 10 per turn to keep active for 3T ) ( 30 )
Damage: N/A
Description:
One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Sharingan is the kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. Unlike the other Dōjutsu, not all members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Sharingan. This great Dōjutsu seems to awaken only on exceptional Uchiha members and only in times of great stress. Once awaken, the pupil turns red and a single tomoe (巴) seal appears around the center pupil. As the user masters and evolves their eyes, the tomoe (巴) seals increase, topping 3 per eye. The main ability of the Sharingan, like any other Dōjutsu, is to enable the user to see the flow of chakra. This ability is further improved as the Sharingan gives color to chakra, enabling the user to differentiate chakras from different people or from different sources. Although the user can see chakra through matter, he cannot see beyond dense matter or in long distances. Coupled with the ability to see chakra, Sharingan users gain acess to an incredible clarity of perception that enables them to read insanely fast movements or minor details, enabling them the ability to foresee in an easier way, traps, incoming attacks, etc. This clarity of perception is so great that a Sharingan user can sometimes start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed, enabling the counter to be launched only a split a second after the attack. This clarity of perception leaves Sharingan users able to track high speed movement easily as well as to read through handseals. This last ability enables them to learn techniques much faster and sometimes copy them directly from the enemy, as long as the user has the necessary chakra affinities and requirements to perform it. Finally, the Sharingan is often linked to Genjutsu and mind-manipulating illusions, mostly because the user can, mostly through Eye Contact, directly and precisely use his chakra to manipulate the enemy's chakra flow. In return, the users clarity of perception gives him the ability to more easily decipher visual illusions cast upon him and see past them. The Sharingan has a great cost to the user though. The chakra consumption disables its use for long periods of time and, even when the user grows stronger, it's still hard to keep it active for long periods of time.
Note: The user, if he hasn't gained full mastery over his Sharingan, will need to spend a move to activate it, although as long as he has chakra and enough stamina he'll be able to keep it active until the end of the match. If the user is Sannin Rank or above and has gained his 3 Tomoe Sharingan and held it for one month, he becomes able to passively activate it, meaning he'll no longer spend a move of his 3 per turn.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill
Note: C rank usage is for 1T Sharingan, B rank usage is reserved for 2T Sharingan. A Rank usage is reserved for 3T Sharingan.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: Danzo and Kakashi bios activate the Sharingan by removing the covers in their respective eyes and suffer a +10 chakra consumption per turn penalty
Note: The user is bound by the abilities and limits of the stage of sharingan he possesses, stated in the rules of the KG.

( Doujutsu: Genjutsu Sharingan ) - Eye Technique: Copy Wheel Eye Illusion

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: C - S ( C )
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15 - 40 ( Equal Cost for Each Additional Turn Sustained ) ( 15 )
Damage points: 30 - 80 ( 30 )
Description: This broadly refers to a range of genjutsu performed with the Sharingan. It has also been shown to be performed through the Sharingan's higher evolutions: the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan. By establishing eye contact with a target, the Sharingan user traps them within a sustained Genjutsu of the user's creation. Sharingan Genjutsu are stronger than other Genjutsu, being difficult to break in comparison due to the sinister chakra powering them. When utilized through the Mangekyo Sharingan, these Genjutsu are enhanced and deal an additional 40 damage. However, the time dilation effects and similar effects/ability of Tsukiyomi and custom variants cannot be replicated through these illusions. When used through the EMS, these illusions deal an addition 50 damage. In the case of Supplementary and none damaging use, these Genjutsu can be exploited for one of various purposes, such as: causing temporary paralysis in the target, forceful extraction of information, relaying memories, removing Genjutsu placed on the target by others, and controlling a target's actions. Controlling a target's abilities in limited to Summoning and other none Creation/Ninja entities. The 3 Tomoe Sharingan can forcibly controls Basic and Ancient Summoning's actions as long as they sustain this technique. MS can affect up to Mythical Contracts while EMS can effect even Legendary Summonings. This control is limited to the ability to control their physical movements with limited access to their ninjutsu, using only skills related to the Summoning itself.

In the event of Bijuu, Mangekyo Sharingan users are able to use their MS to cast powerful enough Genjutsu that even Tailed Beasts cannot break their hosts from it, being ensnarled as well. These Genjutsu can also seize control of a Tailed Beast by temporarily severing its connection to the host without the need for eye contact. If the Jinchuriki has not entered any Chakra Shroud state or higher, the user can cast a powerful Genjutsu that severs their connection and prevents access to the Bijuu as well as any of it's skills for 3 turns. Should a Chakra Shroud or Incomplete Jinchuriki transformation occur, the user is capable of preventing full access to it's Bijuu Skills for 3 turns by suppressing it. This presents itself in an inability to utilize the Tailed Beast Bomb variants, a Bijuu Skill such as Sand or Coral as well as access higher transformations. Should the user have EMS, this control is extended to blocking access for double the time and should a Complete Transformation occur, the user is capable of suppressing it's form and ending the Transformation in it's entirety and forces the health drawbacks to trigger as well as a reduced max health and chakra by 25% from fatigue. However, Bijuu Suppression can only be done by sustaining the technique at the cost of 2 moves per turn and prevents Sharingan Genjutsu for 5 turns.
Note: While powerful, the effects of Sharingan Genjutsu only last while the user actively sustains the technique, preventing usage of other Ninjutsu at the same time. This indiscriminately prevents the use of chakra in other techniques outside of basic Taijutsu only.
Note: When used in the NW, this can be used to tame a wild Tailed Beast and allow the user to summon it in an enraged state for 4 turns, only being capable of using Sharingan and non chakra enhanced Bukijutsu during this time, Ninjutsu being barred while controlling the target. This beast is summoned at max powers and has access to it's Skills and one Bijuu Pathway, determined through Official Roll in the NRP Discord. This ability can currently only be done by Madara Uchiha in the Ninja World.
Note: Can only be used once per turn. MS and EMS use can only be done once every 4 turns.
Note: Requires Eye Contact and activation of 3 Tomoe and higher Sharingan.

With a flick of her wrist, the scroll unfurled to show the map of the eastern region. The coastline jagged yet their cities clearly market out. She clicked her teeth and said with a bright smile.

Let us go with haste. You can tell me all about the Tomb of Marduk on the way there.

Arriving from the Tomb of Marduk

Golden light once again manifested in the town. But this city was distinctly different from the Last Bastion they were so familiar with. "We are in the heart of an abandoned town. Thousands of years ago this town was the precursor to Last Bastion, the city that we're both so familiar with today. It is one of the ancient cities of the Bronze Empire, the third phase of the first human civilization that came about after Marduk's golden age. Are you familiar with it?" He reached out to offer Isabella hands to balance on, perhaps still shaken from their quick transportation. It seemed that, despite using his own spacetime to move through the world, that they were still within the rift they had walked into at the Tomb of Marduk.

Since the war with the gods, the chosen ones become immortal amongst the humans. This immortality started to dilute between generations and through their own volition. The Bronze Empire had already been far removed from the rule of the immortal ones, after the mortal agents of the Silver Empire and their war-driven ways were overtaken...

Isabella looked towards the city, to see the constructs of stone and brick of the abandoned town. Were they in the past, or the past of a different dimension altogether?
At her side, Kumiho initiates the ritual to retrieve her 5th tail, that of Kaito's Taijutsu.

"Good." Solomon stated, peering down the empty street and taking care to not be seen. "I think it's time I told you why we're here. Or where 'here' even is." He used air quotes for emphasis before continuing. "This is the distant past," he stated it in a matter-of-fact, as if it was nothing - like saying the sky is blue. "It's possible for us to be here because of the demise of three Domains, anchors that establish the 'rules' of our reality as ordained by Marduk's Pantheon. What is 'real' is less certain, making realities like this possible to step into through rifts in time. But it also gives us the unique opportunity to investigate a certain man: Imeroth."

The distant past... I'm sure we can't affect our own reality through the actions we take here, but I agree that information is a powerful tool to carry over to our home dimension. Do you know where to find Imeroth here?

Solomon scratched at his chin, tilting his head up to look at the grey sky above what would one day become Last Bastion. But it would go through a number of transformations before finally becoming the last stronghold of civilization on Tobusekai. "We will find the man that Imeroth was. Gleaning intelligence in the past to learn about the man we face in the present. By the time of the Bronze Empire Imeroth had already cast aside his allegiance to Marduk." Solomon stepped out from the alley and into the ruined street, letting his eyes scan the terrain and ruined buildings. It was nothing like Last Bastion is today; in many ways the technology, craftsmanship, and architecture of the coastal town was superior to its future counterpart. Many of its structures were made of marble, they reached higher into the sky, its walls were sturdier, albeit not quite as tall as they were in Last Bastion, and its roads were more intricate and even in better condition despite the town's abandonment. "This city was built before the Bronze period. It benefited from that twilight period between the Golden Empire and its successors - where the people still knew how to work stone and marble to an intricate level that maybe craftsmen even today don't know. Shame that much of this technology was lost after that civilizations' demise. Anyway, off we go. We are heading toward the Port of Innovus - the heart of civilization."

Seeing how the settlements are being built in the Outer Lands, the current society have long lost the prowess of architecture.

Isabella said, walking behind Solomon as he shimmied through the streets of the town. He walked these paths with ease and familiarity, with no missed turn. No doubt the ancient one had been here before, but had he been here at this time as well?

Is this the first time you've entered a different time dimension? Or is this a compliment of your new found Eye?

Isabella asked carefully, opening not to offend, as she followed the man towards what would then be the Port of Innovus she knew.
