Sanctuary of the Moon

The Sanctuary of the Moon, like the Sun, was once controlled by the Great Mother Cult. Thousands of years ago it was built by the first humans after the Great War, acting as a seal to contain Tiamat's essence beneath the earth and restrain her to the Void. The lush green fields that once thrived under the moon have been rendered a barren wasteland. But after the fall of Eanna, some strange force is flushing life into the land, slowly restoring it to what it once was.

Alas, the raid team had finally arrived at the intended destination. Stopping roughly a mile away from the target’s current location near the Moon Shrine, the team grouped up for a minor meeting before beginning the execution of the plan. “Alright, listen carefully” Sai began to speak. “We aren’t here for a very long time, we are for the hostage; so we need to get in and out as fast as we can possibly allow”. He took out a map of the area and drew an X with the location of where the hostage is. “The plan is while some of us storm from the front, I want those who are falling behind to teleport to this location, get the person and free them. Once you do, allow them to teleport back out immediately and be back to this starting point. Radio in when the extraction is done, and then we’ll fully retreat after”. He continues to explain the situation but while this happened Oui felt a minor rumble in her pouch. She didn’t come with her communicator, only a walkie talkie that is linked to the others on the team. It was Solomon!

She quickly removed the scroll and opened it, and a small smile and laugh came out. She looked up to see if anyone was watching so that she can immediately respond.
“Hey! Long-time no speak Romani! Or should I say Mr. King? Right now…is a bad time to speak as I’m currently on a mission. I’m in Tobusekai still, but some things happened…so we’ll talk once this is over. We can meet up once it’s over! Till then take care of yourself
. Oui finished writing the message, finally in time for the mission briefing to be over.

She was on the assault squad, much to her favor. Once the situation was covered, the assault team sprang into action as one of the members took a sniper rifle and fired a large flashbang. This caused the current guarding cultists to be confused in the chaos at first but by the time they regained vision, a group of three warriors rushed at them. The first being Sai as he summoned his Noble Phantasm into his hand as it increased his speed swiftly. Left and right, he slashed through the cultists but not deep enough to kill them.

Nasashi, another Servant Ranked member would summon his lance of choice and started to slam through the cultists. Oui, on the other hand, had no access to Noble Phantasms due to her neglect to train in the other surges and instead summoned blades comprised of Prana into her hands. “URHHHHHH” she yelled, striking them in the throats deep with a slice, blood spilling everywhere. Her to partners noticed her rather crude executions but they had no time to question it. “Shit there’s more…” Sai said as he noticed more cultists be summoned from the shrine.

KILL THEM ALL IN THE NAME OF MOTHER” one of them yelled, with a joint execution of moves was performed – causing a single giant wave of black colored water to begin to move forward towards the trio. “Oui! Nasashi!” Sai yelled, having the other two nod as they made needed seals and with a wave of their hands unleashed a jointed shockwave of Prana. It clashed and neutralized the water immediately but once the cultists saw the result, they only saw the trio pushing forward once more. “Go!” he radioed into the rescue team, allowing for them to teleport towards the shrine. Once they did, the hostage rested upon a cross with seals located on her arms and legs to prevent her escape. “We got you her in our sights” one of the rescuers said as they began to execute the rescue. “Copy” the assault team all answered.

Once most of the enemies were down or in Oui’s case some even dead, she was breathing hard. “These bastards will never give up…” she said to herself. Her back, however, was turned when another cultist emerged from the ground, attempting to strike her down but she managed to sense him via her special sensing with her brush. “Not today!” she said rolling out of the way but the cultist wasn’t pursuing but rather he examined her. “Why does your face look so…familiar…” he said with an ominous voice. She didn’t know what to expect until his eyes widened to reveal something he should have kept to himself. “AW, your that man’s child…what was it again…Crapsokai? HAHAHAHA! Bitter old man couldn’t help himself when we…” before he can finish, a blade was plunged into his throat – made of ink. “Say that again…I couldn’t hear you…” Oui said as streams of tears ran down her eyes. “You’re one of them responsible for his murder…now that I know this…I’ll kill you all with my bare hand if I have to!” she said extracting the blade from his mouth as he falls to the ground. “Sai go control that sister of yours” Nasashi said as they finally got a moment to relax.

Sis, I thought I told you this wasn’t a…” Sai intended to scold his sister only to see tears in her eyes. “I’m sorry…” she said running to hug her brother. She didn’t want to do it but to insult her father was the last thing she needed to hear. Sai smiled as he embraced his sister, assuring her things will be ok. “Alright, target secured” they said over the coms. Once they did, they teleported out of there back to the meeting point. The assault team would begin to move out but before they had a chance, a cloaked figure appeared at the Shrine with his hands raised in the air. “Those who deny Mother will feel her wrath!” He said immediately he formed a sole hand seal. Many of the other cultists who were still alive did the same.

This caused a chain reaction to occur as they all committed suicide, exploding from various tags on their body – the explosions continued to travel far and far. “We need to book it!” Nasashi said as the explosions started to creep closer and closer. Oui was the slowest of the three having lagged behind them. “Sis!” Sai yelled as the explosions were nearly about to reach her when he tried to reach out to her.

He would snare his teeth as he activated the technique he has yet to master himself but it was the only way to save her. He would open the fifth gate, swiftly grabbing her and dashing out of the way. “We need to get out of here and fast; let’s head back west to the Battlements for cover.” Sai said as everyone nodded in response. Once over, they all fled the terrain before any more damage can be done.


Leaving landmark, end of mission.

Techniques involved in mission

(Fuuinjutsu: Kami Komyunikēshon) Sealing Arts: Scroll Communication technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: N/A
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description:
The user will create 2 or more scrolls with an embedded sealing formula that connects them all together. As such, anything written in one scroll will appear written in all the connected scrolls. A very useful communication technique, it can connect scrolls regardless of the distance between them. To activate the scroll, the user needs to perform a key of hand seals that will be unique for each creation and only known to those the user wishes, preventing the use of the scrolls by those the user doesn't allow.

(Kanki: Kigen no Kamigami) – Surge of Evocation: Era of Gods
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: D-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10-40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This technique encompasses the basic applications of the Surge of Evocation. The Surge of Evocation is the usage of Prana in its raw and unrefined form; whatever this Prana touches is transformed into ethereal energy and transported to the Throne. Prana will neutralize and be neutralized by techniques that possess the same amount of chakra. Similarly it will be useless against attacks of greater chakra and will not be weakened by techniques of lower chakra. However when used on living targets this ambient energy will feel extremely frigid to the touch and induce cold burns on contact or even freeze a target solid for higher ranked applications. D to B-Rank uses will inflict cold burns as well as all of the effects of frostbite. A-Rank uses will cause necrosis of the afflicted parts of the body, making them appear dark purple and bruised to signify the death of cells. Affected appendages and organs will cease to function, becoming completely immobile in the case of limbs. S rank uses will freeze the struck targets solid. In the case of Surgebinders, who are immune to all of the above effects, they will be transported to the Throne when struck by the prana of another member of their clan. Era of Gods can be split into three separate applications, all based on the same principle: constructs, armors, and familiars made of prana energy.

Pride of Gilgamesh – Gates of Babylon
The Pride of Gilgamesh allows the user to produce Prana either from the user’s body or on the battlefield. The Prana can only be manifested within short-range of the opponent if the user is also within that range, in which it must be created a minimum of one meter away. This restriction does not apply if the user chooses to release the Prana from their body, rather than manifest it away from themselves. The energy can be released from the body via various hand signs depending on the user's rank in the clan. This can be done to generate constructs bound only by the rank of technique used and one’s imagination; alternatively the user can simplify the application by creating streams, waves, and constructs of Prana. Manifested Prana is capable of taking solid form, granting tangibility at the user’s volition. Non-projectile uses of this technique are capable of levitating and can be governed through mental commands and a sustained chakra cost. B-Ranks and below are sustained through 5 chakra per turn, A-Ranks and above require 10 chakra per turn. Created constructs will last three turns per usage unless they are prematurely cancelled. S-Rank applications can only be used once every three turns and no Prana in the user’s next turn.

(Inkupo: Kaiga Natsu ) Ink Arts: Painting Summer
Type: Supplementary
Rank: D – S (A + 1 Rank = S)
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 10 - 40 (-5 per turn)
Damage: 10 – 80 (60) + 1 Rank = 80
Description: Usually used as a means for teaching others how to paint with ink, Painting Summer allows the user to manipulate their ink in various forms for different reasons such as demonstrating the applications of the ninjutsu. The range of this technique starts from short range as usual, painting the work of art into life such as furniture to sit on due to ink techniques having been known to sustain themselves, small animals for entertainment etc. The vast possibilities are endless, leaving it up to the user’s own imagination.These creations can be no bigger than five meters in height. These creations can be formed for combative purposes if the user needs this, now dealing damage in accordance to it's rank. A rank usage has a limit of thrice per battle while S rank is twice per battle however the former leaves the user unable to use ink based techniques above S rank in the same and next turn while the latter prevents use of ink based techniques above A rank for the same and next turn. A rank has a cooldown of one turn while S has two turns after use. Though this technique can be used with no damaging properties simply for cosmetic use. This is considered freeform and doesn't count as a move. B rank needs a single hand seal, A rank needs two while S rank needs three.

(Kanki: Jidai no Pendoragon) – Surge of Evocation: Epoch of the Pendragons
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: A-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30-40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Considered the sibling of the Era of Gods and Dynasty of Kings, the Majesty of the Pendragon involves surging a large amount of Prana throughout the user’s body in order to enter the Throne. Their body, and everything on their person, will disappear instantly in a flash of light reflecting the color of their Prana. The user will then reappear amidst another flash of light at a location of their choosing; despite its nature, this process takes a few moments. Reappearing is accompanied by a crackling sound, creating both an audible and visual queue. This is enabled by the fact that the ethereal energy constantly exists within their chakra systems. Twice per battle the user can utilize a stronger version of this ability to prolong their stay in the Throne. This allows them to exist within the alternate dimension as Prana, which effectively places their body in a stasis. This halts blood loss, the propagation of poisons, the duration of active techniques/abilities, and any other aliments or conditions. This will happen for as long as the user is within the Throne. The user can only remain there for a maximum of four turns per usage. As long as the user re-appears on the battlefield on in the same landmark, then using this technique will not count toward escaping battle. If the user opts to re-appear in a different landmark then they will effectively forfeit the battle and the event. This only applies if the user utilizes Majesty while engaged in battle and not travel purposes. The first application, considered A-Rank, can only be used once every four turns. It can also only be used four times per battle. The second application, considered S-Rank, can only be used twice per battle and operates on the same cooldown as the A-Rank version. S-Rank applications render the user unable to use S-Rank or higher Prana for the next turn, if the user remains in the Throne for longer than a turn.

(Suiton: Suijinchū) - Water Release: Water Encampment Pillar
Type: Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: A defensive technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into water, and then expelled from the mouth in a dense torrent, effectively creating a near instantaneous barricade that can be used to intercept incoming attacks.

(Gojō Kibaku Fuda) Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags
Type: Offensive
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short
Chakra: 50
Damage: 100 (-20 to the user if caught in the explosion)
Description:
The Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags is a technique which forms part of a fighting style purposely designed for those who have been reincarnated or are otherwise very resistant to damage, and employs the use of special explosive tags to create a near infinite series of explosions. The user will throw several (up to 5) special exploding tags at the enemy formed from large sheets that each bear five seals on them. These special tags then attach themselves to the intended target, but just as they detonate, summon additional tags that in turn create more as they too explode. This process is continuously repeated, leading to a near infinite chain reaction of consecutive explosions which engulf a gigantic area, mid range all around. The technique's unique drawback is that to fully use it you need to be in short range of the target, making it almost suicidal for users who cannot take on the damage and remain unarmed, users that cannot escape its range in time or users who cannot heal themselves from the damage, thus being ideal to be used by Edo Tensei summons.
Note: the explosion spans throughout 2 full turns if unblocked.
Note: usable twice per battle.

( Hachimon ) The Eight Inner Gates
Type: Supplementary
Rank: N/A
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: The Eight Gates are eight specific points on a person's Chakra Pathway System. They limit the overall flow of chakra within a person's body. The basis for the idea of the chakra gates comes from the body's limits on the functions within it. This makes the body much weaker, but it keeps the body from expiring too soon. By undergoing intense training, one can learn how to open these gates allowing the user to surpass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their own body. The user opens the gates in sequence, up to the desired gate to achieve its effects. Opening the gates is a fast process and can be done in mere moments up to the desired gate. EIG Masters can do so easily and in a passive way (not spending a move). When one opens up to a given EIG, that opening lasts 4 turns. Opening additional gates upon the last turn of the active opening adds 2 turns. However, there is an exception. Opening the last and 8th gate can only be done for 2 turns, even if the user opens it immediately.


  • (Kaimon) - The Gate of Opening: The user activates The Gate of Opening or First Gate, which is located in the brain. This gate removes the restraints of the brain on the muscles so he can begin to access 100% of their strength. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use the Front Lotus. This gate adds +5 damage to Taijutsu and the user becomes 1.5x faster. This gate also adds +10 chakra and damage to Ninjutsu. User suffers -5 damage per turn.
  • (Kyūmon) - The Gate of Healing: The user activates the Gate of Healing or 2nd Gate (also named Rest Gate) which is located in the brain. Forcibly increases one's physical strength and temporarily re-energizes the body. This gate adds +10 damage to Taijutsu and the user becomes 2x faster. This gate also adds +10 chakra and damage to Ninjutsu. User suffers -10 damage.
  • (Seimon) - The Gate of Life: The user activates the Gate of Life or 3rd Gate which is located in the Spinal cord. The increased blood flow turns the skin red. Allows the user to use Hidden Lotus. This gate adds +15 damage to Taijutsu and the user becomes 2.5x faster. This gate also adds +10 chakra and damage to Ninjutsu. User suffers -15 damage.
  • (Shōmon) - The Gate of Pain: The user activates the Gate of Pain or 4th Gate (also named Wound Gate) which is located in the Spinal cord, lower than the Seimon. Increases the user's strength and speed. May cause muscle tissue to begin to tear on use. This gate adds +20 damage to Taijutsu and the user becomes 3x faster. This gate also adds +15 chakra and damage to Ninjutsu. User suffers -15 damage.
  • (Tomon) - The Gate of Limit: The user activates the Gate of Limit or 5th gate, which is located in the abdomen. Increases the user's speed and power. This gate adds +30 damage to Taijutsu and the user becomes 3.5x faster. This gate also adds +15 chakra and damage to Ninjutsu. User suffers -15 damage.
  • (Keimon) - Gate of View: The user activates the Gate of View or 6th Gate, located in the stomach. Increases the user's speed and power. Opening of this gate releases such enormous amounts of chakra that it can cause nearby water bodies to form a vortex around the user. Allows the user to perform the Morning Peacock. This gate adds +40 damage to Taijutsu and the user becomes 4x faster. This gate also adds +15 chakra and damage to Ninjutsu. User suffers -25 damage.
  • (Kyōmon) - The Gate of Wonder: The user activates the Gate of Wonder or 7th Gate which is located below the stomach. Those who open this gate will pour glowing green sweat from every inch of their body, which immediately evaporates from their own heat energy, creating an aura which people would mistake as a green chakra coating. However, the side effects of opening the gate are that the user's muscle fibers are ripped to shreds after exiting this gate, causing intense pain if anything or anyone touches him. Allows the user to perform the Daytime Tiger without great strain on the user's chakra. This gate adds +60 damage to Taijutsu and the user becomes 7x faster. This gate also adds +20 chakra and damage to Ninjutsu. User suffers -40 damage.
  • (Shimon) - The Gate of Death: The user activates the Gate of Death or 8th Gate, located at the heart, requiring the user to puncture their chest just above the heart in order to open it, enabling the user to achieve what is described as The Eight Gates Released Formation" ( Hachimon Tonkō no Jin ). Opening this gate will cause the user's blood to emanate a flaming aura of red steam, the so-called Steam of Blood ( Chi no Jōki ) from all pores of their body, hair, and eyebrows. Releasing this gate uses up all of the body's energy while making the heart pump at maximum power. Exceeding the power of every other gate, the user is temporarily granted approximately a hundred times their normal power, far beyond that of the five Kage. Once activated, those who are capable can perform the Evening Elephant and the Night Guy. The side effect of opening this gate is that it comes at the expense of the user's life, causing the user to crumble to ash after their chakra runs out, having virtually cooked themselves from the inside-out. This is unlike opening the other gates, which simply injure or damage the body. This gate adds +120 damage to Taijutsu and the user becomes 8x faster and allows the user to warp space with his speed.
Note: The EIG users can only open the gates twice per fight, meaning that if he allows the EIG opening to time out, he can only open the EIGs once more during the match. EIG Masters can open EIGs three per battle if the first two uses are only up to 5th gate
Note: Starting with the fourth gate, EIG users begin to feel the side effects of each gate as they time out. EIG Masters don't suffer damage from opening up to 6th Gate, being left unable to move correctly for 2 turns and unable to mold chakra above S rank in the next turn. EIG Masters will feel the side effects for opening 7th Gate and up.
Note: The user cannot use other self powering techniques (such as custom variations of Lightning Armor, Sage Mode, etc) while he has EIG opened
Note: Opening the 8th Gate kills the user at the end of the 2 turns it remains opened.

Coming from the Hokubu Ocean.




Stepping off the gently rolling waves of the Hokubu Ocean and back on to dry land, presumably at, or as close to his destination as he dared venture, Shirō was met with the need to promptly hide himself. Countless Cultist corpses littered the Land, all seemingly the end result of a massive, climactic battle that took place no more than a few hours ago, if that. Some were mercilessly slashed and stabbed, while others seemed to have lacerations deep enough to debilitate but not kill, and others seemed to have been rammed by a cavalry-style weapon, or some form of pole-arm. Worst of all, making up the majority of the bodies, were horrifically charred remains. The stench of burned flesh permeated the air, reminding Shirō of the one day in his life he would rather forget, but no matter how hard he tried, triggers were plentiful wherever he went... It was seemingly his lot in life to suffer within those flames, even if they had to make do with reducing his mind to ashes. Carefully treading through the field of dead people, making sure to check for survivors, both out of a sense of self-preservation and a need not to get attacked from out of nowhere, but also following his screwed up morals, and inability to walk away from someone in need, even an enemy. Seeing nobody who could even qualify for aid, he continued his careful march in land.

The further he got however, a strange sensation began to envelope him, and then overtake him entirely. He had absolutely no idea what was wrong, but, unbeknownst to him, reality itself was being torn asunder. (OOC: Referring to a post made in this fight.) All manner of Space-Time related techniques had been cut off, as the laws of the universe began to lose all meaning. The sensation that cut through Shirō was his connection to the Throne being rent completely. For the first time in a long time, he did not feel that crisp cold energy within, making him, for all intents and purposes, just another regular human... Yet he was so used to being just another human until only a few months ago, he didn't instantly realize what had occurred. Further he pushed, reasoning that the strange sensation overcoming him was simple nerves. He was surrounded by a familiar, horrific sight after all, forced to remember and relive sights and sounds that made him feel powerless, helpless, afraid. Pushing through this hesitation, remembering what was at stake, Shirō began to catch sight of a structure in the distance. The moon eternally basking the center of the Landmark with a chilling light. Black flames slowly billowing out from large pillars of intricate, almost sacred, yet profane, or secular design. And at the center of the Land itself, a Shrine of unknown metal, glowing with a faint blue hue in the moon light. The surrounding lands were not so pristine... Dead, barren soil, and dried up lake beds were the accompanying landscape for this otherwise gorgeous view. Believing this to be one of the sites that the Cultist back in Kuwana mentioned, Shirō began to approach, witnessing several active Cultists in the distance as he did so. And yet now with each step his body began screaming at him to leave. He felt twisted and distorted with each and every step, and it wasn't until he realized that the corrupted feeling grew deeper the closer he drew to the Shrine itself. Whatever this thing was, it's purpose had no doubt been corrupted by the Great Mother Cult. Doing his best to keep him hidden, he reasoned that, especially after his encounter within Kuwana, he could take them. But as he channeled Chakra into his hands, commanding his weapons forth, none appeared. Trying again, this time with an active concentration on his action, Shirō discovered that he couldn't summon his weapons. He was completely cut off... And he had an idea of the culprit. Reasoning that a head-on assault was now more perilous without the use of his weapons, Shirō instead opted to see if Kiritsugu's Gunsmith had lost her touch, or if she was still deserving of the moniker" virtuoso". As he pulled Yoko off his back, and began to take aim, he witnessed, far to the south of his position, a radiant flash of light, and the uncertainty of whether or not he had just witnessed a pyramidal structure fall from the sky... According to his info, that was where the sibling shrine, the Sanctuary of the Sun, could be found, so, clearly, someone had the same idea. These Shrines, and the Cultists corrupting them, were doing something, and from Shirō's inability to summon his arsenal, he could infer that it had to do with Space-Time. If this did indeed indicate the arrival of the Cult's "Mother", then there was no time to lose.

Pulling Yoko off, and beginning to prepare his shot, Shirō began to channel Chakra into the rifle, augmenting the affinity of the projectile that was about to erupt, imbuing it with the energetic nature of Lightning. As he did so, Yoko began to hum with a faint chirping, as a reddish-purple lightning erupted forth from the stock and barrel. Taking aim, not at the Shrine itself, but into the skies above, almost as though he were returning a signal to his presumed allies in the South. As he prepared himself for the recoil, he spoke under his breath, compelled by his body to compose himself in a certain manner, and speak these words;

"I offer you this calamity..."

All at once, and with an explosive eruption of force, Shirō fired a round from Yoko, watching as the .50 cal round, infused with the elemental properties from Shirō's "Fractured Ideals", streaked through the sky like a lone shooting star. As he did so, he took the residual flame from the shot, using his Chakra to then infuse the round with Fire, atop the existing Lightning, cloaking it, and increasing it's potency. As the round charged through the air above, seemingly becoming lost in the sky above, a faint flash was emitted, before the reddish-purple lightning became visible once more, however, it was different. It looked as though it were spread out, and continuing to do so as it began its descent towards the Shrine. The Cultists, turning to see the source of the thunderous roar they had heard just moments before, instead saw, in the sky above, a veritable salvo of projectiles headed straight for them. Shirō, knocked flat on his ass from the recoil, watched as the Lightning-Fire rounds descended upon the Moon Shrine, hoping his attack would put an end to this growing feeling of existential dread...

Yoko | Yoko
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: N/A (20)
Damage: 80 (40 and -5 to the user)
Description:
Yoko is a large Heavy Ballistic Seige Rifle, looking very similar to a Barret .50cal sniper.
This Heavy Sniper Rifle is carried around often slung on the back of a user, or summoned from a scroll if desired. The rifle itself uses large ballistic ammo that has been specially crafted from hungurian ore for extra damage. Yoko has two firing modes, Standard Rifling or quick eject cartridge, a custom made style.
When in regular firing mode, the user can use the bipod attached for a steady shot, or those with extreme strength can hold the rifle steady enough to accurately target shots. While in regular Firing mode, ammunition is shot out from a 6 round chamber one at a time with comparable speed to lightning jutsu. This mode requires no chakra on behalf of the user, activating like a regular gun. The extended silencer on the barrel muffles sound, outside of mid range, meaning that when fired only the shot can be heard in short and mid range. In the quick eject mode, Ammunition can be launched out of the holding chamber into the users hand. These cartidges then require 20 chakra from the user to activate to fire off the bullet in the users hand. Doing so causes only 40 damage however and also deals 5 damage to the user for the explosion going off in the users hand.
Notes: Can be fired up to 6 times in total. Only one shot can be fired per turn, including the quick eject mode, counting as a jutsu per turn when used.
Note: Quick Eject shells can only reach within short range.

(Raiton: Kossetsu Risō) Lightning Release: Fractured Ideals
Type: Supplementary/ Offensive
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user starts by performing a sequence of two Handseals, Snake → Horse gathering a large quantity of Lightning Release Chakra, and infusing it into a projectile, such as a bolt for a crossbow. As they infuse their Chakra into the projectile, they become completely shrouded in a heavy aura of reddish-purple lightning. The user then takes aim, either into the air, or at a target before them, depending on how they wish to utilize this Jutsu, as there are two different, but conceptually identical usages for this Jutsu.

The first is for enemies that generally have some semblance of distance from the user. By aiming into the air, the user then fires their projectile into the air in an arc, aiming to hit the target on the descent of their projectile's arc. Once the projectile reaches a certain distance from the user, Mid-Range or beyond, the Chakra infused into the projectile "activates", forcefully shattering the fired projectile into numerous pieces, all carrying their own equivalent portion of the projectiles Chakra. Each fragment of the projectile then instinctively moulds the Chakra into the form of the original projectile, effectively creating a barrage of dozens of lightning-based projectiles formed from the scattered remnants of the original projectile. As the barrage of Chakra projectiles descends upon the target, the effect for each individual projectile is equivalent to that of an explosive tag, as when they hit the ground, surface, object, target, etc, they release the Chakra constituting the form of the Chakra projectiles in the form of of a concussive blast (Roughly 2m radius around the point of impact), individually dealing small amounts of impact-based, kinetic damage to the target which combines to create one, singular explosion, engulfing the surrounding area (Roughly 15m radius around the target).

The second application is similar to a certain degree, but is utilized for close quarters engagements, allowing range/ projectile fighters, who are generally susceptible to attacks in close range, due to their weapons being more inclined towards distant targets, to defend themselves. Instead of aiming into the air/ at the sky, the user aims directly at their target, and fires. Upon being loosed, the Lightning Release Chakra contained within the projectile automatically initiates both the fragmentation and shaping aspects of this technique, causing the lightning projectiles to be shot off in a cone towards the target direction. Due to not having travelled as far, or gained as much speed or force due to the descending arc found in the former usage, this usage lacks any of the concussive force found in it, and instead, the projectiles pierce through the target, shredding and embedding themselves within the their body. Once the projectiles have embedded themselves within a target, after 1 turn, the Lightning Release that constitutes the projectiles themselves dissipates, leaving behind open wounds within living targets, or cavities in solid surfaces they plant themselves within, potentially leaving fresh lacerations in their place.

Note: Can be used a max of 3 times per battle, and the user must wait 2 turns between each usage.
Note: Can only be taught by Iᴍᴘᴇяғᴇᴄᴛ.

(Katon/ Raiton: Ikkyou) - Fire/ Lighting Style: Suprise
Type: Attack
Range: Short - Long
Rank: A
Chakra: 30
Damage: +1 rank
Description: This Jutsu will be used after the user has used a lightning Jutsu. It is similar to the way that when Darui used a lightning Jutsu to add to his water Jutsu as he was spitting it out against Sasuke. After having release a lightning Jutsu, the user will focus more Chakra into it. As they do they will focus upon the heat of the lightning. In doing so they can do one of two things. They will either:

1. By adding the extra Chakra they will control the heat, causing flames to wrap around the lightning Jutsu the user Jutsu make, making it a fire lightning combo. This will add 1 rank to the power of the Jutsu from the extra Chakra used. The fire would stay wrapped around all the lightning as it's being produced from the lightnings heat.

2. Use their Chakra to convert the full heat of the lightning into fire, changing the state of the energy, so that the lightning now becomes a fire attack. So if the user used chidori spear, they would be extending it, then control the heat to change it into a sharp flame spear extending form their hand, changing the Chakra nature through the use of physics.

The user can only used this on one Jutsu, and once they have used it they can't change it back.

Note: Usable 3 times
Note: Can only be used on A ranks and below
Note: Can't use water Jutsu in the same turn after having used this.




Damage: Yoko (80) + Fractured Ideals (60) + Surprise (+1 Rank to Fractured Ideals) = 160.

Chakra: 1950 -30 (Fractured Ideals) -30 (Surprise) = 1890.

The Lightning-Fire rounds released their desired effect, unleashing a disastrous explosion that nearly shattered the Moon Shrine on contact. In the moments that followed, however, a terrible chain of events had finally been completed. Throughout the world, occurring almost simultaneously, the Sun Shrine, Moon Shrine, and the death of the Shogun Takauji Ashikaga all took place. It was a calamitous event that none other than the four necromancers and the Voice himself could have known would happen when all pieces finally fell into place. And so, as Shirou's sniper rounds made contact the ground began to shake. But not from the rounds themselves, but rather the ambient life energy that was stored within the Shrine released itself and blasted through the earth. It sent a 7.0 magnitude earthquake rippling outwards and shaking the entire world, being shot deep into the earth and redirecting itself toward the Hokubu Ocean not so far away. What few cultists remained began to flee the landmark, rushing to their headquarters southward. Shirou was left nearly alone in the decrepit and unhallowed grounds - with only a thin blue pillar of light being emitted from the Hokubu Ocean in the far north.

Watching as the Shrine was destroyed with very little effort, Shirō couldn't help but think that was easier than anticipated. Looking to the South, he watched as a flash of light rushed through the ground, followed by a startling earthquake as the Moon Shrine erupted into a flash of light that followed the energy from the south, north and into the Hokubu ocean. As he found his bearings, and what Cultist forces remained within this Land frantically ran south, Shirō then watched as a colossal pillar of light, large enough to be seen from every corner of the world, burst forth from the Hokubu ocean. Unaware of the exact gravity of his actions, Shirō started to head north, noticing that the uneasy feeling that had enveloped his body was gone, and replaced with sheer mortal dread. As he approached the Hokubu Ocean, Shirō watched as it began to darken, as though poisoned, or polluted by some hostile presence. Looking over the ocean, blackened waves now crashing into the shores of Tobusekai, and the pillar of light still burning strong in the distance, he reasoned that, whatever this was, it was beyond him, or at least, on his own. He recalled the apparent Pyramid that had fallen from the sky, and his reasoning being that they, whoever they were, were at the very least allies by being an enemy to the Mother Cult, and could perhaps shed some light on these events...

Strix had reached what she thought was the answer to the question that was posed to her a few nights ago, from the strange disembodied voice that spoke to her in Marduks Tomb.

"What you seek - under the Moon where the Void is strongest"

The further in to the area that Strix got the more she was interested in what was going on, pillars alongside a path that were ablaze with a black flame. Not a natural occurrence by any long shot, and something that told her this could be the doing of the Voice she heard. What was once long fields now were replaced by scorched earth, upturned boulders and ruins. Strix kept a hand on her sword, if she were to be attacked, she could bet that an unwanted presence here might be a possibility. Wandering further in, Strix eventually came to an open air temple, which was in reality nothing more than just an altar surrounded by coloums that were once again illuminated by black flames, somehow casting light.

Strix approached it and stood waiting.

I seek knowledge, I thirst for information. Allow me to know what happened, what will happen. I am but a servant towards the truth, and wish to have my eyes opened.

"I am Phetra, Lady of the Night. It was my voice you heard in the Tomb of Marduk." Her voice was light, delicate, and very feminine - all traits that contrasted with the title she proclaimed she bore, as well as the skills she had mastered. She had appeared behind Strix in a cloud of black smoke that had materialized out of nothing. Like her voice, her other features were fair and delicate; porcelain skin, hazel eyes, and long, majestic jet black hair. Though a trained eye could tell beneath that beautiful skin, firm eyes, that she was dangerous. Her eyes hid away hundreds, if not thousands, of years of ancient knowledge and forbidden arts; she was Phetra, Lady of the Night. She controlled the forces of life and death with such proficiency that in some cultures she might be revered herself as a goddess. "You seek knowledge, and you thirst for information...." She stepped closer, and let her long finger nails brush up against Strix's neck from behind. "But what is truth? Why am I the one that can give you truth?"

She stepped closer, and let her long finger nails brush up against Strix's neck from behind. "But what is truth? Why am I the one that can give you truth?"
A cold shiver ran down Strix' spine as the voice came once more, this time closer and outside of her head, a feat that would send all the voices in her head to be silent once more. They were as curious as Strix as to what this creature could offer. Strix thought of her as a creature, as her form, while definitely human, her powers were beyond that of a mere mortal. The voice, revealed to be Phetra, gave Strix a name and as a hand touched the back of her neck, she was careful not to tread wrongly. Too many had lost their chance at knowledge because of the lack of custom and respect. If she wanted to be seen she would have appeared before Strix, but to appear behind, well that gave Phetra the tactical advantage, and although she doubted Phetra would need it, Strix would oblige to remain in her position.

"But what is truth? Why am I the one that can give you truth?"

The question given to Strix to prove why she wanted answers and to reaffirm her quest for knowledge. What is truth if not the undeniable fact of what actually has happened. The woman knew that Strix wanted knowledge and she would go to the ends of the world to get it. This woman, undeniably knew more than Strix, and it fell to a duty of Strix to learn what she could.

It was time for Strix to give her reply.

Truth? Truth is universal. Its the word we use for a physical manifestation that cannot be changed. It is undeniably one of the laws of the universe. The truth cannot be changed. Facts, knowledge, information are all truth. You understand truth, you understand the universe. I heed the knowledge of those that have more truth than me. Yourself, undeniably know more than I do, and what I could hope to learn on my own. What I have been taught, what I have been read and has been written, is only a point of view, easily warped and twisted. You tell me where I can find truth, and I will go.

Strix saw the opportunity with this Phetra, and the chance it could bring. If this woman could give Strix truth and knowledge, it would certainly fill the hole that she longed to fix.

"Truth can be changed. In fact, it is relative. Your truth is that I am a wise and universally knowledgeable woman. But mine...." Suddenly her hand, once resting on Strix's shoulder from behind, would grab her and quickly turn her 180 degrees to face the Lady of the Night. She quickly grabbed Strix by the throat, starting to choke her. "My truth is that you are an intruder on my land, looking to simply steal knowledge that you could never hopefully possess." Her once gentle and feminine voice grew firm and filed with anger, her grip tightening around the witch's throat. "What do you truly hope to accomplish here? Why are you worth my time?"

Spun around and her throat gripped, Strix was caught off guard, as the hand, cold and icy but nimble, curled around her throat. Having to suppress the instinct to react and fight back, Strix chose her words carefully, as the impression she got was that this Phetra could have easily overpowered her if it came to it. Words were better weapons here. Struggling to get the words out, she responded with a short concise answer.

Do you think me to be a petty thief? What you perceive and what actually is, are vastly different. You think me to steal.

With that, Strix would close her eyes, and speak her words.

I have no doubt that you could cut me down in an instant. Anyone fool to cross you would meet their end. But, you give me a chance to serve you, to find information for you, I can prove to be useful. How many others found the Tomb? How many others would be willing to serve?

Strix' words were layered with honey, not in tone but with what she said. From the knowledge that she had known about the servants of Tiamat from records, and from the interactions with this Phetra, Strix could bet that they didnt have many willing servants, and none so capable as Strix.

You might not need me, but I can work for you.

"Willing to serve, you say?" Phetra picked up Strix by the throat, using immense strength her in body that was entirely uncharacteristic of her feminine and delicate form. "You've come to a faraway land knowing so very little about the people you were so desperate to hear truth from." With a single arm she threw Strix to the side, tossing her like one would toss garbage out seven meters to Phetra's left flank. With Strix now out of Phetra's way, a sudden small earthquake would rock the Sanctuary of the Moon. A misty black aura would flare out from Phetra's body, cracking the very barren earth beneath her feet. "The afterlife, the pure world, Irkalla, Kur, Kigal, and those of Ganzir. I command the very afterlife that Nergal and Ereshkigal had dominated millennia ago, you naive fool. The very spirits of the afterlife are my agents of darkness. Suddenly the black shroud surrounding Phetra would blast outwards, encompassing all of short-range around her in a black mist that progressively grew stronger and stronger. Strix would suddenly find herself surrounded by two Gallu spirits on either flank of her, both willing themselves to be visually perceived by the witch. "Willing servants? Before you are my willing servants. You sought truth, yet now you seek to be my servant?" Her voice warped further into anger, and almost hilarity at the thought of how quickly Strix had broken in her quest. A desire for truth, and yet she was so quickly broken by the Lady of the Night. Perhaps then she could be made to serve, forced into the underworld and converted into an eighth Gallu.

(Nana Shison no Jigoku) – The Seven Offspring of Hell
Type: Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: 200
Damage: 150
Description: The Seven Offspring of Hell, or the Gallu spirits, were the Seven Great Demons of Nergal and Ereshkigal’s Underworld under the reign of the Chief God Marduk; today, they are under the Authority of Phetra, Lady of the Night. During the reign of Marduk the Gallu spirits were responsible for dragging off the dead and other unfortunate victims to the underworld, maintaining a careful balance between life and death as spirits flowed into the realm of Kur. Although famous for their pursuit of Inanna during a civil war between the gods, the Gallu spirits are a standard class of Demon within the underworld, outclassed by many of the other divine-class spirits that exist within it. The Gallu appear as ghastly skeletal constructs, cloaked in a translucent blue shroud. They tower over normal humans, being roughly thrice the size of an average human male. Gallu spirits are akin to Limbo clones in the sense that they cannot be struck by any physical damage, and exist within parallel dimensions – Kur as well as standard reality. Phetra is able to summon up to seven Gallu, and each can freely operate away from her as her agents abroad or within the battlefield. Typically, Gallu only become visible to those that they allow themselves to be perceived by, or when they come into direct contact with someone. This means that traditional means of detection, including all Doujutsu and sensing cannot be used to find the spirits, barring Yin Release’s spiritual awareness. Gallu spirits have 400 health points, and can only be damaged through spiritual means. They are immune to Fuuinjutsu, and their bond to the current Ruler of the Underworld cannot be broken through any means.

Thrown aside like a rag doll, Strix could feel the power and entire weight that Phetra had as she struck and collapsed under the column. The voices were back, whispering of danger and of anger, of revenge but of survival. It was hard to make out what they exactly wanted. Strix managed to pull herself upright just quick enough to see black smoke crack the ground around Phetra as two spirits began to cast a blue hue over the area.

"The afterlife, the pure world, Irkalla, Kur, Kigal, and those of Ganzir. I command the very afterlife that Nergal and Ereshkigal had dominated millennia ago, you naive fool. The very spirits of the afterlife are my agents of darkness."
"Willing servants? Before you are my willing servants. You sought truth, yet now you seek to be my servant?"


They were a terrifying sight to be sure, manifestations of pure spirit that came from the monster that held their leash, though Strix would not falter, as she drew herself up plunging her sword into the ground. From beneath her a stone serpent dragon rose carrying her on its head, reaching up and bringing Strix equal in height with the Gallu spirits. The dragon coiled itself as it grew, its thick body now having a length of 20meters but keeping Strix at the 3m Height. The ghostly visage now more detailed to Strix, she could tell that they were most likely spirits, unlikely to be damaged by physical means though.


(Doton: Dosenkiryū) - Earth Release: Earth and Stone Dragon Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long (made within Short, but reaches up to Long)
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80+15=95
Description: The user after performing the required hand seals Horse → Dog → Bird → Ox → Snake will create a large dragon of earth erupt from the ground and direct it towards the enemy with devastating force. This technique much resembles the Water Release: Water Dragon technique.

I came seeking knowledge, the fruit of life that gives power to those that wield it. You, Phetra, have a wealth of information I desire, but if you keep that to yourself, then I have no use for you.


Strix determination for knowledge would remain steadfast, her spirit still wanting to seek and find that source she had seen about the Tomb of Marduk.


Humans have been told about Tiamat, as a great demon that is to be feared by all mankind, and that Marduk and the other Gods were heroes for fighting and sealing her away. I believed them, up until I saw the carvings in the Tomb. You tell me that it is a lie, and I wish to seek the truth. If you will not give it, then I will find it!


Strix knew that if it came to a fight, there was little chance for defeating Petra, but if she could survive then she could at least have some information. Strix felt her adrenaline surging, the body itself getting ready for a fight or flight response, her pupils dilating taking in all information, he muscles already converting oxygen and energy into adrenaline. Strix was going to find out just what Phetra wanted.

"Then you do not wish to serve. That is, at the very least, a start." Phetra smiled again, with a single hand motion to direct the Gallu spirits to approach Strix's dragon. In one single motion performed in unison the Gallu spirit on her left flank would pluck strix up with its massive phantasmal hand. The other Gallu spirit would place its skeletal palm against the dragon, asserting its spiritual dominance over the spiritual energy within the earthen dragon. It would suddenly collapse, falling motionless and lifeless to the ground as the Gallu spirit that had touched it slowly dragged it through the earth as the two phased through.

"There is no need for such a beast. He shall rest in my Underworld." Phetra's voice had calmed slightly. She was somewhat relieved that Strix had not given up so easily. Strix would now find herself on the ground, defenseless before the one Gallu spirit that remained. "These spirits - they are Gallu. Once they served Nergal and Ereshkigal. Though they now serve me. Long ago they were themselves considered gods. And it is true...they are in a sense. They are Divine-class beings. Though they are rather lowly..." She stepped closer to Strix, holding out a palm with swirling black and white energies. "You came here asking for truth. But truth is a relativistic concept. The inscriptions on the Tomb of Marduk depict the First War. The war where the first children of Tiamat, the first generation of gods, did battle against their mother alongside the first humans. There were no heroes. To the gods Tiamat was a tyrannical beast. And to Tiamat, her children had betrayed her. Used her as a ladder to climb above her. Who was right? It is all a matter of perspective. We do not seek to rewrite humanity because Tiamat was wronged. We seek to rewrite humanity because humans are flawed creatures forsaken by the Gods that formed them."

Phetra plunged her hand, now coated in black and white energies, into Strix's gut. A moment of immense and mind shattering pain rippled through her body. But no physical harm was being done. Instead, moments later, Phetra would withdraw her hand. In Strix's gut a swirling black and white sphere would find itself implanted there. "This...this thing. Well, should you survive with it and nurture it then you may come find me again for this 'truth.'" Phetra and her Gallu spirit would suddenly vanish into a black mist of nothingness, leaving Strix alone in the Sanctuary of the Moon.

(Inan’na Kōka Meikai) – Inanna’s Descent to the Underworld
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: A technique used by the Seven Offspring of Hell, or the Gallu Spirits, commanded by the current Ruler of the Underworld. The technique is famously named after Inanna, or Ishtar’s, descent to the Underworld to battle against Ereshkigal. Today, it is used by the Gallu spirits to escort victims and targets to the Underworld. Through physical contact the Gallu spirit dominates the spirit, or spiritual energy, of its victim, taking control of it and forcibly escorting it into a separate dimension. The spiritual domination of this technique is unavoidable and unblockable, essentially rendering the target completely at the mercy of the Gallu spirit and unable to mold chakra or move their body of their own accord. When this occurs to a biography in the Ninja World, it is counted as permanent biography death.

This post marks the start of a mission using the following element:
-Push through the pain (4)




Strix had often wondered what her path in life would be, coming originally from a northern village, that had no special interests in the world. It all changed when she found her ancestry and the clan she came from, discovering her families heritage, that on the Tenshi Ichizoku. Since then Strix had been travelling to find more in life, to seek knowledge, to seek meaning and truth. She had been through tombs of her ancestors, spoken to previous lives she had lived. After journeying through Tobuseki, Strix had thought she lost her mind in the fog that shattered her psyche. It had unlocked every single ancestor she had at once, causing a myriad of voices to speak to her all at once. She had the wisdom of all her past lives to speak to her and helping her control her actions.

Never once had she thought to be involved on a global scale of the events that wete unfolding. Time would tell how they would act out, but for now, all Strix could do was play the part. As Phetra approach with her Gallu, there was a moment that Strix let her guard down. She was curious and watched the actions of the strangers she just met. The Dragon she was standing on disappeared, as Strix stood on the Gallu with Phetra coming close.

Strix was curious about this woman, this creature and what she could do. In that moment, the black and white energy she had created swirled in her hand and before Strix had realized what she had done, Phetra plunged it into her stomach. Time seemed to slow to a crawl, the entire world frozen within a single frame as Strix felt a pain unexperienced and unheard of before. Her mind blank with nothing but the sheer agony of a thousand needles piercing every part of her body, the voices in her head seemingly crying out in pain echoing Strix. Strix had neber felt any kind of pain like this before and it took every ounce of spirit and energy she had to stay concious through the event. Images of Strix' past lives flashed before her in the moment that it all happened with each on reliving their worst wounds and meeting their own fates. Through all of this Strix felt every single one, every single stab wound, burn, and broken bone at once. Nothing compared to the pain in her body right now. Through all this Strix felt a change, a feeling within her abdomen as Phetra withdrew her hand leaving Strix in an exhausted heap. Despite no physical damage present, it had felt like Strix had been fighting and exhausted for hours. Breathing heavily she could only watch as Phetra and the Gallu left. Strix knew that if she collapsed and passed out here she could potentially not make it tbrough the night, her body depleted of energy. Taking a small flask from her bag, fumbling around she mustered up chakra through her finger using the slightest energy she had to create water from her fingertips, to pour into the flask. After a moment of being half full she drunk deeply and rolled onto her back. Her entire body ached and felt lile it was on fire, but her medical knowledge kicking knew that it was her cells all producing copious amounts of adrenaline, energy, and dopamine to try and fix her. The pain itself new and unknown, her body didnt know how to react. But she had made it through and she needed to recover. Dragging herself to her feet, she bit her thumb and cast a summoning jutsu. Bringing forth a B rank firefly, she told it to fly her west. With a small buzz of acknowledgement, it flew off. As they rode off, she used a little more blood to summon Xiaoyu, her slug. Though just summoned, Xiaoyu could already see what was wrong, and as Strix passed out, Xiaoyu began to engulf Strix to apply her healing.

Returning from [x]

Alucard was back at full power again. His pokémon was at his side as they delved into the wild chaos of the unexplored parts of Tobusekai. Upon reaching the sanctuary of the moon again after sailing across the contintent back again they would head south immediately to find something to possibly murder. He got greedy and would make a blood sacrifice. From it, a gigantic moon statue would appear to accompany him and his pokémon in their travels.

The golem's body was originally a stone monument to Hamura carved into a rock wall over a shrine, but was transformed into a living entity, allowing it to separate itself from the cliff's side and to crawl using primitive stone arms. As such its appearance resembles that of Hamura's, complete with the horns and six magatama designs carved on its collarbones, resembling the necklace worn by Hamura himself. Several large glowing orbs appear to be embedded in its back. The golem was able to fight hand-to-hand, and temporarily overwhelm Kurama, the strongest of the nine tailed beasts. It was durable enough to survive high damage, requring a significant amount to destroy it. It can also regenerate any damaged piece of its body, making it very difficult to defeat. Perhaps its strongest ability is to manipulate gravitational forces to draw meteorites from space, similarly to Madara's Rinnegan ability. Due to it's size and physical power, it can withstand up to A rank jutsu completely, taking no damage at all. It can also take the force of up to 2 Forbidden level techniques, taking little damage from the result. Differing from normal summonings, only those with the Tenseigan are able to summon the Statue of Hamura, paying tribute with their own chakra instead of blood sacrifice.
Note: Only Tenseigan users can summon the Statue of Hamura.
Note: If the Statue is summoned, both it and the user cannot make use of gravity based techniques in the same turn.
Note: Once per turn, the Statue can regenerate damage done to it by up to 60 damage. This can allow it to grow limbs back if removed and can be done up to 3 times. Counts as one of the user's three jutsu per turn.

With it being summoned, Alucard and his two summons would head south.

This post marks the beginning of my mission:
- Deal with a traumatic event from your past




Strix had arrived at the Shrine of the Moon, the place where the core originally had been given to her, the most incredible pain Strix had felt despite no actual physical change had happened to her. Being a medical prodigy and a master of the emdical arts, she knew there was something inside her, plunged where Phetra had planted the swirling black and white energy, something round, about the size of a fist. It hadn't caused any problems for Strix so far, but then again nothing else had changed. Since leaving Phetra to try and discern the meaning of "nourish it" and then meeting Demetrias who additionall also gave Strix a hint at what nourish the core meant, she was at her wits end trying to decide and decipher the crpytic clue that Phetra had said. Was it a literal or metaphorical clue to nourish the core? An inanimate object that Strix couldn't control, that she had a very limited understanding on what the core itself actually was? How could you nourish something that you didnt understand? However there was a clue within what Phetra had said "Nourish it" meaning that it could change, it was in a state that could change or evolve or even grow. This was later confirmed when Demetrias referred to 'relic weapons' when talking to Strix about her core.


" I do know that these cores respond to certain circumstances and environments - and yours seems particularly sensitive to that. A child must be nourished in the place it was born, just as your core comes from where the world was torn in two."

It seems like her suspicions were true when Demetrias spoke that the core or "relic weapons" respond to certain events, but was this core a weapon right now or was it inactive. These question swirled within her mind.

Strix sat down in the ruined temple where she had met Phetra, the countryside illuminated by the moonlight, black light torches and almost dead silence. On her knees, she began to meditate on everything that had happened to her so far, and wondered where to go from here. Placing both hands on her stomach, she pushed chakra through her body, letting it flow around and pass through the core. Unsure if it had done anything, Strix was beginning to grow even more impatient. Trying once more, in case it had missed, Strix pushed healing medical chakra through it, the mystic medical palm technique trying to heal. The corner of her mouth twitched as the anger grew, the answer evading her. Channeling Yang chakra through her body this time, she let the vitality from Yang release Chakra flood her body, her skin almost steaming from the excess chakra, muscles healing from wear and tear. Strix had no other way to tell whether the chakra had worked or if the core itself was evolving or being nourished. She decided to vent her anger.

RAAAAAAAAA....

Stomping on the ground, the earth buckled and cracked from the strength of her body with the Yang increasing her strength.

PHETRAAAAAAAAA!!!!

She screamed out the name, cursing her own lack of knowledge and unable to solve this mystery. In her imagination, Phetra had been enjoying Strix struggling with the quest, the usually bright and smart witch having no answers or no luck in progressing.

All Strix could do was wait and see.

( Iryō Ninjutsu: Shōsen Jutsu ) - Medical Technique: Mystic Palm Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A (2x the amount of damage healed, 200 max)
Damage: N/A
Description: This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by focusing chakra onto their hands, forming an aura of greenish chakra which he then sends into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without the need for medical equipment or surgery, making it very useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a great amount of chakra control. Because of this, only a few highly skilled medical-nin are able to use this technique. The limitation of the technique is that it cannot regrow missing body parts or remove with poisons or toxins, though it can heal damage by them. Additionally, perhaps its more severe drawback is the chakra cost, which is much higher than any other medical technique. For each damage point the user of the technique wishes to heal, he needs to spend twice as much chakra. Basically, for x amount of damage the user needs to spend 2x amount of chakra to repair/heal. The user can also use this technique on himself and it can be used with one hand or two and even in two targets at a time or while using another technique with the other hand. The speed of the healing is fast but not instant.
Note: Can be used on up to 2 targets.
Note: Can only be used by Medical Ninja.

(Yoton: Taiyōnomegumi) - Yang Release: Touch of the Sun
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra cost:70 per use
Damage points: N/A
Description: Through the infusion of Yang natured chakra into others, users can heal others to their original best physical form. It can be used to regrow missing body parts, heal wounds, purge poisons, etc. The target needs to be alive and the bigger the injury, the longer it takes to heal. The limits of the heal, however, are almost none as it can heal 150 damage per turn and can even heal the chakra system or other injuries that are otherwise not possible to be healed. The technique requires time and physical contact and as such isn't very suited to use in a battle when compared to regular Iryo Ninjutsu.
Note: Yang Release masters are able to use on themselves.

(Yoton: Ken'i) - Yang Release: Power of The Sun
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 100 (50 per turn)
Damage points: N/A (+40 to Taijutsu)
Description: The user will reinforce his own body with Yang natured chakra, empowering his physical abilities to the outermost limits. This allows him to become physically very strong (beyond the normal levels of chakra enhanced strength), increases his resistance to physical damage (decreasing 60 damage from any physical contact), his speed (boosted to 3.5x his normal speed), and grants him a passive healing of all minor wounds at 30 damage per turn. However, by infusing himself with the Yang Nature, he becomes unable to use Yin Release techniques or Yin/Yang Release techniques; he cannot use Genjutsu or non elemental Ninjutsu of any kind (including special fields like Fuuinjutsu).
Note: Can only be used twice per battle and lasts 4 turns per use.

Strix had passed out, the pain and anguish of pulling the core out from herself then healing it up taking its toll on her mental capacity and the exhaustion catching up with her. Waking up looking at herself in a foetal position, she can curled around the Core holding it close and cradling it to her stomach. She put a hand to her face to wipe away some dirt to feel the sticky touch of tears that had been falling down her face. Had the physical pain been so great that she had broken down to tears? Or was it the anguish of not being able to find out the information she desperately tried to find to unlock the secrets of the Core. Phetra had been cruel, playing on Strix' weakness of a lust for knowledge and giving her a riddle with no key. Strix however had determination, and she would not stop till she found out more about what this Core was about. Phetra gave it to Strix, perhaps as a test or even as a cruel twist of fate, but Strix was not going to give in.

Gritting her teeth, Strix stood up, pulling herself to her feet, dizziness causing her head to spin as she felt dehydrated. She wasn't going to give up, and Strix was going to search the entire world for answers and look everywhere to gain the strength of the Core, its information more valuable now than Strix' life. If Strix met Phetra, she would be ready for her, having the answers unlocked, but for now Strix as least had one key to the Core's test, which was Demetrias' clue. On top of this, Strix also knew now that Demetrias was aware of them, which potentially meant that others would be as well. Leaving towards the ocean, Strix began her quest once again, invigorated to find the answers to the Core.

Storyboard Mission:
  • Help a local trader by transporting his wares
You must be registered for see medias

The Captain, with Ezikiel flying above his white swaying dead hair entered the Sanctuary of the Sun with Alucard a few meters behind. It had been a long time since any of them had set foot here and the place had not changed a single bit either. The eerie presence of darkness still lured in the atmosphere. The Tenseigan would reveal chakra patterns, usually a sign of life but out here it could mean anything as it was essentially the end of the world. Alucard looked a few hundred meters on the border between the two landmarks and saw two people with a wagon of goods setting up camp. Being slightly bored he would approach them. The bleak hills proved no difficulties but beasts roaming these parts were unimaginable at best of times. As he approached the man and the woman, they seemed suspicious and reached for chakra rifles. It was natural, probably a lot of bandits or other rouges were harassing traders and stealing their goods as if the beasts weren't enough. Alucard approached with a calm posture and walked slowly. His Edo and Yang creation flying above it, were right behind him. The traders took aim now and to that, Alucard responded by raising his hands in the air.

We mean no harm, unless harm is given to us. What say we escort you through these dread lands for a fee to protect you.

The two looked at eachother and seemed to argue between them quite harshly. The man did not lower his gun and instead fired a bullet that made its way through the air like a pinpoint jet needle. To the womans protesting shout, Alucard had natural reactions allowing him to simply make a statement out of the attempted murder or simply dodge the bullet. He chose the former and as the bullet hit his face, he would catch it with his teeth and break it apart. The woman then shouted.

Thanks Will, you have killed us now.

The two attempted to run away but Alucard raised his arm and used his gravitational powers to pull both of them towards him.

( Tensei Hōyō ) - Reincarnated Embrace
Rank: S-Rank
Type: Supplementary/Defense/Attack
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: Using his Tenseigan, the user is able to use gravitational abilities to pull something to them. The user will use his hands to focus the direction and the target his wishes to pull towards him. Comparative to Banso Tenin, this technique isn't an omnidirectional effect but rather a precise one. The user is able to pull anything he can perceive towards him. In certain uses, the user will be able to direct the pulled target as its being pulled into large arc-like movements, but will always end up pulling them towards him.
Note: Once used, takes 1 turn cool down to use gravitational related techniques again.
Note: Can only be used by Tenseigan Bios.

In their struggle to resist the inevitable, the man (Will) surrendered himself and cried out in despair while the woman kicked him in the balls as they both were being retrieved by Alucards gravitational pull. She was blaming him for what she thought was their death. As soon as they entered short range from Alucard, he stopped the pull. Both of them were lying down but the woman was filled with anger while Will was just pretending to be unconscious.

..My offer still stands... But we do not like to get shot.
Get up you baka.
Sorry..

There was a moment of calm after the two had risen up from the ground and dusted off their clothes.
Where are you heading?
We need to get to Hagoromo's Last Hearth. It's close but dangerous, we wound up here by accident thanks to this idiot.

The woman pointed towards Will who hid himself in shame.

Let's go then. Pick up your goods and place yourselves between me and my..

Refering The Captain to "The dead" one might have been offputting in this situation - Alucard thought to himself.

Brother?
..Sure

The traders and Alucard, The Captain and Ezikiel started to travel en route to the Hagoromo's Hearth. A place that Alucard had never been to. He expected trouble on the way there and as they were traveling off of the hills and into the wilderness there were occasionally a few beasts here and there that were taking an interest in their meat. It was easy work for The Captain's pinnacle hand to hand combat and once they were through the woods they seemed to be in the clear. They collectively left the landmark and ventured into a land of unknown.
