(Ototon: Gungir no Hyorohyoro) - Sound Release: Swaying of Gungnir
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra: 30 (+10 chakra to applied techniques)
Damage: N/A (+20 damage to Lightning techniques)
Description: The user will passively activate an ability that will allow them to release ototon chakra into their Raiton techniques for the next four turns. Activating this ability is instant and consumes no time whatsoever since it's designed to work in the same time-frame as other techniques. Both Lightning and Sound Release are based on high frequency vibrations, allowing the two to be seamlessly combined together. The sound chakra will serve the purpose of increasing the frequency of the vibrations within the lightning technique. This heightened frequency means they will become higher energy, thereby increasing their piercing and cutting capabilities in the same way as Super Vibrating Lightning Release Sword. These enhanced vibrations will also change the noise produced by lightning techniques, creating a cacophony of screeching noise that drowns out all other sound. This takes away any stealth they may have once possessed but makes them dangerous to those with enhanced hearing through the use of Inner Sonar Skill or a different method. Those individuals will suffer bleeding ears and will be permanently deafened if they are unfortunate enough to hear this noise.

Note: Lasts four turns
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Cooldown time of three turns in between uses

(Ototon Genjutsu: Keisei Aitou) - Sound Release Illusion: Siren's Lament
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: The user will gather their ototon chakra into their throat and release it in the form of a harmonious, almost enchanting vocalization. Anyone who hears the sound will be cast in an illusion that causes them to hear a single or multiple voices, that appear to be coming from within their head, all of them speaking over each other in order to be heard. These voices can have varying tones, accents, speak in different languages (real or fictional), exhibit different emotions or simply generate noises. Most commonly the illusion is used to create a cacophony of begging, screaming, cursing, wailing and pleading to potentially evoke guilt from it's target(s). To make them conscious of all of the victims they killed or all of the people they couldn't save, depending on their disposition. There can be as many or as few voices as the user desired, they can even all possess a single voice, a few specific ones or all have unique ones. Naturally the user can perfectly re-create voices they've heard in reality or perceived by navigating the memories of others. This technique is exceptionally effective against shinobi that possess mind-reading capabilities as all of the voices appear to be coming from within their own head. This effectively intermingles with and drowns out any and all targets' thoughts and even their own, making them unable to even think clearly. This greatly reduces their reaction time and tracking, reducing it by half until the illusion is broken.

(Raiton: Nakigoe no Walkure) - Lightning Release: Cry of the Valkyrie
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user will initiate this technique by focusing their raiton chakra through their body, and discharging it into the ground in a similar manner to Chidori Nagashi. This surge of electricity is released quickly enough to negate earth-based techniques (KGs/CEs included) before they can form into techniques and/or emerge from the ground. This will work on neutral techniques of the same chakra and below or elements weak to Lightning of up to 10 chakra above. In the case of these upper limits, this technique will also be neutralised in the process and will be unable to progress any further. If their chakra is not neutralized, the user will perform two handseals to apply shape manipulation to the released lightning as it travels through the earth and towards the opponent. This will cause a dome of solid-like lightning to rise up short-range all around the target. Everything within the dome's confines will be imbued with the user's raiton chaka, paralyzed and lifted upwards, similar to the canon technique Lightning Blades Levitation. The dome will then form into a fully spherical orb once everything within it has been suspended off the ground and erupt into a massive explosion (similar to the canon technique Thunder Up), obliterating everything inside of it.

Note: Can only be used thrice per battle
Note: Cooldown time of two turns in between uses

(Raiton: Freya no Megumi) - Lightning Release: Blessing of Freya
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B
Range: N/A
Chakra: 20 (+5 chakra to applied techniques)
Damage: N/A
Description: The user will passively activate an ability that will allow them to imbue a certain ability into their lightning techniques for the next four turns. Activating this ability is instant and consumes no time whatsoever since it's designed to work in the same time-frame as other techniques. Focused lightning techniques, upon contact with conductive solid or liquid matter such as Earth or Water, will convert themselves into currents of unfocused lightning before they can be weakened by the clash to travel along or through the medium. It will then emerge from the other side and return to it's focused form, optionally having undergone a shape change. Essentially it will prevent the two techniques from clashing, allowing a Lightning technique to move through a Water technique without either being weakened. However it will only do this once per technique and once it has exhausted this ability, it will clash with further techniques as it normally would. This ability is extremely useful when fighting alongside an ally, to create powerful combination attacks of Earth/Lightning, Earth/Water or other compatible elements. In the case of opponents who have undergone a transformation into water or conductive liquid, they will be fatally electrocuted upon contact as the lightning becomes unfocused and conducts through their body. The user can choose which techniques to apply this to, but must specify when it is used.

Note: Lasts four turns
Note: Can only be used twice per battle

Appearance Dabi is a skinny young man with dark, spiky hair. His most striking feature is that large patches of his skin are purple and deeply wrinkled. The borders between those areas and the rest of his skin, smooth and pale, appear to be held together by crude surgical staples or stitches. Rows of stitches extend from the corners of his mouth to above his ears, giving him something of a permanent grin. His eyes are cyan blue in colour and heavily lidded. He has dark marks on each of his palms. Dabi wears dark pants that reach above his ankles and a dark coat over a simple light shirt, along with dark shoes. He also wears a belt and what appears to be a small leather pouch around his waist. He has a tattoo of a You must be registered for see links around the length of his right arm.

However he is cool-headed, confident, and always focused on the task at hand. He rarely expresses emotion, except in the rare instances when he's pushed to the point of vexation. At these times, he exhibits an almost explosive anger and fiery nature that is hard to tame. The manner of his speech is often accompanied by numerous curse words and though his vocabulary is rather large, he prefers a more crude way of speaking.

Though he is the son of Berserker and Ruler, Dabi inherited his mother's bloodline rather than his father's. The latter perished before his birth and so all that he knows of his parentage comes directly from Jeanne. Unsuited to the task of motherhood and too impatient to wait several decades before her son could surpass his father, Ruler took him to a mysterious individual who could govern life energy itself. This practitioner of Yang Release, through careful employment of the lighter half, possessed the ability to hasten the natural growth process by several orders of magnitude. The result was none other than Dabi reaching the biological age of seventeen a mere month after his birth. To complete his aging and allow his mind to catch up to his body, she made use of several illusions such as Tactical Flashback to artificially implant him with the knowledge and information he would have picked up over the course of a lifetime. And so in this way, Dabi never experienced a childhood. Nonetheless his command of language, literature, shinobi skills and other proponents of a learned man are all on a higher level than most people on account of his rigorous and invasive education. Despite her careful attempts at indoctrination by embedding subliminal messages in his 'memories', her son did not conform to the ideology she wanted to instill in him. Perhaps in her impatience to accelerate him to the finished product, she inadvertently reduced the effect of her subtle manipulation. After all, a younger mind taught over the course of years would have been more pliable than one that had already reached the point of maturity. While he felt a great deal of respect for his father's feats, he had no wish to follow in his footsteps. Instead he wished to become his own man and discover his own purpose to live for. However before he could embark on a personal crusade, there was one matter he felt he had to attend to. Though he had never known Berserker, something inexplicable linked the two of them. He felt it was somehow wrong for him to possess only the abilities of one parent. In this pursuit alone, his mother was all too eager to aid him. She told him of several Hiden and Kinjutsu techniques that could achieve what he desired, though all of them carried risks of their own. Once his instruction in Dark Release and every other skill was over, Ruler allowed him to leave in search of one of these Forbidden Techniques. Eventually he came upon a man who possessed an ability known as 'Earth Grudge Fear' who could steal hearts and embed them into his own body to make use of it's main elemental affinity. The consequence of using it was that almost all of his anatomy would be replaced by black tendrils that bestowed the wielder with a somewhat crude form of immortality. Unconcerned with how it would his change his outer appearance or inner anatomy, Dabi readily accepted the Hiden Ability and it immediately changed his constitution. It was not long before he yearned to test his newly acquired form. He fought and killed shinobi whenever the chance arose and tested the process of integrating their hearts into the network of organs located in his chest. Eventually he decided it was time to seek out a new heart and to receive instruction from Berserker's chosen student and successor; the current wielder of Lord Vile.

Summoning Ninjutsu A master practitioner of Ninjutsu skills and all of it's derivatives, Dabi has mastered summoning techniques as part of his education. He has signed both the Bat and Spider contracts, possessing a tattoo on his left and right wrists respectively. Though he uses them in equal measure, he finds himself partial to the summons used by his father. The personal summon that always accompanies Vlad and rides on his left shoulder is known as Drakul, Lord of the Shadows. Weapons His pouch contains shuriken, kunai, explosive tagged kunai, explosive tags, flash and smoke bombs, ninja wire, scrolls and all the other items essential for a ninja. All of these weapons are pitch black in colour and are composed of steel. Each of them also has dark marks applied to every side of them through the use of Mark of the Outsider. He also carries a separate pouch of small creatures made of earth such as spiders, birds and snakes. These vary in size from a few centimeters to the size of an average apple. All of them have two dark marks applied to them (on top and underside) as well as two explosive tags attached (front and behind). They are carried around to be used with Earth Release: Gift of Gaia. Through this technique he can breathe life into stone and animate it, allowing the creations to move independently and mimic their real-life counterparts. Nature Manipulation Vlad's nature transformations includes the basic five, Dark and several others he learned from Ruler. He has a primary affinity for Fire Release and has mastered it to the extent he can use every katon technique that requires handseals with a single handseal. He finds himself partial to Dark Release, particularly the flame variant, as well as Radiation Release.

Earth Grudge Fear Many of Dabi’s abilities revolve around his unique body structure, which is composed of hundreds of black tendrils woven throughout his flesh called Earth Grudge Fear, holding his body together like the stitches of a rag-doll. This allows him to separate his body parts at will, to perform long-range physical attacks and sew up almost any injury he suffers. The threads can also be used to repair the bodies of others as well as pierce their flesh, allowing him to remove their organs and integrate them into his own body, thereby extending his life. The hearts each acquired animal-shaped masks and could exit his body to act autonomously. His main heart is Fire natured, while the other four are Earth, Lightning, Water and Wind. Vile Scripture Every article of clothing he wears has one or several dark marks applied via Mark of the Outsider. He has dark marks applied to the soles of both of his shoes, one on the front of his shirt, one on the back of his jacket and another on the front of his trousers. Dabi has an assortment of seals across his body to fortify his defenses. He wears a black wristband on his left forearm that has a kanji shaped like a pentagon with open circles placed at every point of the shape and a seal on his upper right arm with the Kanji for "Guard". He has a tattoo with the Kanji for "Fire" to be used with Logia on his left hand and a Command Seal on his right hand. He has the Kanji for "Eternal" on his chest and one for "Impervious" on his back. All of his seals are infused with doton chakra to reinforce them and make the sealing script more durable (via Scripture of the Templars). Body Seals Spoiler (Fūinjutsu: Maiyā no Bando) — Sealing Arts: Mayer's Band Spoiler Type: Defensive/Supplementary Rank: D-S Range: Short Chakra Cost: (equivalent to the amount of opposing tech) Damage: N/A Description: This seal, Mayer's Band, was created by an Uzumaki prior to their village's destruction. The jutsu's purpose revolves around the ability to identify and seal foreign energy produced by the user's enemies. The seal itself is placed onto a wrist band and it is a kanji line shaped like a pentagon with open circles placed at every point of the shape. When foreign energy enters short range of the user, the circles on the wristband emit a bright colorful light signifying to the user that an energy different from the energies known to them has broken their perimeter. The sealing band cannot inform the user about the type of energy being used, but it can and does tell the difference between the various energies it comes across, and thus repeats the same color glows corresponding with that energy when met again. Once the energy is close enough the seal will release a special energy absorbing barrier around the user protecting them for that one attack before sealing the foreign energy into the wristband protecting the user. The jutsu is quite helpful for shinobi who don't have any energy sensing abilities, and its sealing effect only lasts a limited time. After sealing its maximum amount of energy the band will only work as an energy identifier for the user, but it will no longer be able to seal energy. NOTES ►Activates 3x per battle ►Has a one turn cool down ►When a S-Rank technique is sealed, no fuuin in the following turn, and then no fuuin above A in the next ►Seal must be placed in biography ►Can only be taught by ZandaT (Fūinjutsu: Jō Kōken) – Sealing Technique: Imperial Guardian Spoiler Type: Defensive Rank: A Range: Short Chakra Cost: 30 Damage Points: N/A Description: This technique is composed of a sealing formula that remains active until triggered, this sealing formula bears the Kanji letter of "ガ" or in literal meaning "guard" which is located on the user's upper arm. This sealing formula erects an invisible barrier that's made around the user at all times but does not actually cost the user a move until it activates, the barrier works by detecting the chakra of a fast incoming technique and deflects it, causing it to dissipate and leave the user unharmed, the barrier's deflection ability is only triggered by a fast moving technique, basically a technique that can't be tracked by normal eye sight and requires at least a Sharingan or similar means to track, the barrier that's around the user detects the speed once the technique collides with the chakra released from the barrier that's around the user and the sealing formula glows suddenly, causing the barrier that surrounds the user to repel the incoming technique within short range of the user. Note: Can only be trigger twice per battle. Note: Can guard against up to an S-rank technique. Note: The user can use it twice counting as two moves per turn and using +30 chakra with each usage to guard against a forbidden ranked technique, this can only be used once. Note: No Fūinjutsu techniques in the same turn. (Fuinjutsu: Kamei no Gokuin) - Sealing Technique: Command Seal Spoiler Type: Supplementary Rank: B Range: Short Chakra: 20 Damage: N/A Description: The user will have a seal that look like one of the symbols below (see spoiler) on either of their hands that will lie dormant until passively activated. The seal only works on jutsu that transform or are donned on the user's body and can only be activated whenever one of these techniques are in use. On activation of the seal, the seal become linked to any jutsu present on the user's body and serve as link between it and the user thus making the seal be the one sustaining the jutsu for as long as the seal remains un-destroyed. This does not however add any power to the jutsu in question as the jutsu can still be negated like normal. The only work of the seal is to make the jutsu remain if not destroyed though as long as the user is able to sacrifice his chakra sustaining the seal itself. The seal passively leeches 20% chakra per turn of the jutsu it is sustaining from the user, meaning if the seal is sustaining an A-rank earth armor, then the seal leeches 20% of 30 chakra per turn to keep sustaining the armor. The seal does not work on basic weapons or body armor, but can work on techniques that forms or mimics them. Works well with techniques like the hardening technique, lightning plasma ball, chakra cloak, etc. Also since the fuin is now the one sustaining the jutsu, the user now have access to use another jutsu/element if the jutsu in question restricts it beforehand. In escence this seal allows the user to keep the armor and focus on other chakras for the duration. Note: Can only be used on S-rank and below and it doesn't extend the duration of techniques (e.g. Plasma Ball would still last only last 3 turns) Note: Can only be used once per battle Note: Can not work on modes (Fuuin: Bachi no Fukyuu) - Sealing Technique: Bane of the Immortal Spoiler Type: Defensive/Supplementary Rank: A Range: Short Chakra: 30 (-10 chakra per turn) Damage: N/A Description: The user will have a seal on their body with the Kanji for "Eternal". The seal lies dormant and is passively activated whenever the opponent tries to seal or drain the user's chakra and/or abilities. The seal will instantly release an intangible barrier that surrounds the user's body like an armour. Any abilities which act externally such as the canon techniques Multiple Infinite Embraces or Living Barrier will be unable to affect anything inside the barrier, namely the user's body. Seals which act internally will first have their chakra be absorbed by the barrier (happens instantly and so before they can come into effect) and once erected, the barrier will prevent any further insertion of chakra while active. The seal is self-sustaining and will involuntary leech chakra from the user's body. This is for the express purpose of maintaining this technique even when the user can't use or mold chakra. This is possible as the chakra still exists within the user as it is equivalent of their very life-force. This can counter S-Rank and below sealing techniques. This cannot be activated manually and will only ever activate under the aforementioned conditions. It lasts for four turns or until the ability attempting to seal or drain the user's chakra or abilities is no longer active, whichever is longer. Note: Can only activate a maximum of thrice per battle (Fuuin: Kanbatsu Jakunen Metsubou) - Sealing Technique: Law of the Logia Spoiler Type: Supplementary/Defensive Rank: A Range: Short Chakra cost: N/A (-30 on activation) Damage points: N/A Description: The user will have a seal on their body with the Kanji for a specific element and it will lay dormant until the user is physically struck, be it by an attack, weapon or an opponent. Whenever the user is physically interacted with (e.g. punched, stabbed, shot), their body will instantly exhibit all of the properties of the chosen element. This doesn't mean their body merely has the properties of the element but rather when interacted with the targeted part(s) of the body will passively dissipate into storm energy or harden into steel (effect depends on the chosen element). If for example the user is stabbed and they turn into storm energy, the bladed weapon would merely phase through their energy-composed body and leave them unaffected. On the other side of the scale, if the user's body hardens into steel then the attack will simply do them no harm. After the attack or strike has passed through them, their body will automatically revert itself to it's normal appearance. Since this technique usually only applies to specific parts of the body, any unconverted portions of the user's body can still be moved/controlled/used as normal. While in this form, the user can only use the element they transformed into, the element's it's composed of and any combination of the aforementioned element as well as any non-elemental abilities. This technique enables the user to defend against A-Ranks and below of neutral elements (B-Ranks and below for weaknesses, S-Ranks and below for strengths). If the user is struck with an attack that will neutralize their transformation, the two cancel one another out and the user reverts to their original form unharmed. If the user is struck with an attack that overpowers their transformation, the user's body reverts to it's original form and sustains the remaining damage (after the collision of techniques). The only exception to this rule is if the two chosen elements have no sort of interaction with one another (e.g. Fire and Lightning), in which case rank differences will not matter. Regardless of how the user is hit, this can be a full body or partial transformation (depends on the user’s choice). Should they be struck by a physical attack capable of cancelling out their transformation (e.g. a sword streaming nagashi), the sword will remain inside them on reversion and they’ll be impaled by the blade. Notes: -Can only be taught by Detective L. -This seal can only activate twice per battle and lasts one turn -This technique must be stated in user's biography -Follows elemental strengths and weaknesses -User must possess the given element and it cannot be a CE -Happens passively but counts as one of the user's moves per turn (Meiton/Fuuin: Mato no Ibunshi) – Sealing/Dark Release: Mark of the Outsider Spoiler Type: Supplementary Rank: B Range: Short Chakra Cost: N/A Damage Points: N/A Description: Through his knowledge of Fuuinjutsu and Dark Release, the user will create replicas of the dark marks on their palms and apply them to weapons, tools, objects, scrolls or even their clothes. The dark marks will work exactly the same way as the originals and the user will be capable of using all types of Dark Release techniques from them. The marks can be activated remotely and so the user could throw a kunai with a dark mark applied towards the opponent then activate a technique like 'Inhaling Maw' from a distance. The user will still have to abide by all of the restrictions and limitations of the technique when used in this way. For example, the mark will have to be within short-range of a technique/attack to perform certain absorption-type techniques. As dark marks are essentially "portals" to a separate space/dimension that can contain a virtually infinite amount of energy/chakra, techniques absorbed by these replica marks will enable the user's main body to use release-type techniques. Following this same logic, the user can use release-type technique from any of these replica dark marks after one of them or one of the originals performs an absorption. Similar to Minato's FTG seals, the user can have any number of these seals applied before a battle and they will only cost chakra when the user activates them through the use of Dark Release techniques. These replica dark marks can be distinguished from the originals as they have a different design (see spoiler). The absorption mark is the black inner circle while the release mark is the white outer circle. Note: Must be stated in the user's bio

After awakening from his deep slumber, Berserker rises from his bed and garbs himself in his normal attire. He enrobes himself in the all-black clothing he usually wore beneath his suit of armour. He then walks towards the glass case containing Lord Vile and takes a moment to admire the dark chassis of metal that had become akin to a second skin for him. He carefully opens the display, turns his back to it and commands the sentient armour to open up to receive him. It then shuts on his body just as quickly as it parted, enveloping him in it's deathly cold embrace. It was this creation of metal that enabled him to adopt a new identity, to be born anew after years of aimless wandering. It was the very thing that numbed him to the outside world and allowed him to kill without feeling a body's warmth as he choked the life from it. His helm distorted the sound of their screams, warping them into something alien and distant. The sickly iron smell of blood was almost indistinguishable from his suit's metallic aroma and his visor prevented him from locking gazes with those begging for his mercy. All this and more made every heinous act he enacted feel faraway, as if they were being perpetuated by someone else. It was almost as if in donning the armour and the mantle of 'Berserker', he absolved him from all of the crimes he committed under that name. Lord Vile was more than a mere shaping of metal, it was the means by which he escaped his mortal constraints such as guilt and mercy. The armour seeped away all of his weakness and replaced it with pure malevolence. It was the source of his strength but also represented a certain vulnerability should it be taken away. It was both a blessing and a curse, as well as his most prized possession. Before concealing his face with his helm, Lancelot takes one last look at his bed and the woman lying in it. Jeanne lay asleep beneath the covers with only the region above her shoulders unveiled. He then departs without a word and allows the wires wrapped around his gorget to weave together to form his helmet.

After ascending the steep staircase that precedes his elevated throne, the Black King settles into the regal chair and begins to ruminate. While he did not regret his success, his victory had come about too easily. The only real challenge they faced was at the very beginning of Kurogakure's conception, when they faced off against the Heaven and Earth alliance. And even in that he was never in any mortal peril. Was this really all there was? He never doubted his eventual triumph but for the so-called Great Nations to fall so unceremoniously...it effected a certain dissatisfaction. For there to be no punishment or retribution for such an act, it was almost disappointing. With the completion of his goal, all he could feel was a sense of emptiness at this hollow victory. Would this be how he felt if he had instead suffered defeat? When he first embarked on his unholy crusade, Berserker envisioned a life-and-death struggle, a path inundated in blood and hardship. But what did it matter if his triumph was effortless or hard-won? Surely he should be content with the outcome all the same. He could not truly pinpoint the cause for his dismay but he allowed himself the consolation that any such emotions were transient in nature and would fade in time. As the Black King he would have to put such inane thoughts aside and look ahead to the future, a world mired in hate and conflict. He compels his mind to follow this theme to distract from the other, less desirable train of thought that threatened to overtake it. An unknown amount of time passes like this but eventually he's snapped out of this reverie by a sudden flash of silver light. Berserker refocuses his eyes without moving his head and his imperious gaze lands on the trespasser in his domain. The disconnect between what he was seeing and what his mind was registering delays him from reacting. The sight before him was an impossible one, a cruel trick of the mind that accompanied old age or madness, and the Black King was neither. Whether it was indeed his son standing there, an illusion or a ghost come to haunt him, a single slash of his blade would provide him with an answer.

"So you live, Father." It was a observation, not a question. His tone was almost bereft of emotion, save for the traces of shock and confusion that underscored his words.

"Lancelot is no more." The bold declaration is uttered with all the conviction of an unassailable truth and even a hint of pride. It was less Berserker referring to himself in the third person and more a conscious decision to separate himself from the man he once was. All that motivated him to become the Black King could finally be left in the past.

"And who are you? The man that killed him?" Feelings of relief flood through him, accompanied by a trace of sorrow at hearing of his father's death.

"He sacrificed himself so that I could be born." The same unshakable force of will as before is conveyed in his words.

"Your existence is a blight on this land and a stain on his memory." Galahad's mouth forms into a straight line at the realization that he was mistaken in his previous conclusion, his father was simply absolving himself of responsibility by casting off his name.

"You cling to an obsolete fable. The radiance of his legend has already been eclipsed by it's shadow. This is the true face of the man you call 'father', this visage of bloodstained metal. This is the only way in which he'll be remembered and the phantom you speak of will be lost to history."

"I refuse to let the thing you became replace the memory of the man you once were. I will see to it that the name 'Berserker' is purged from all living memory, even if I have to erase every last trace of it myself."

"What vanity. You would take 'innocent' lives just to purport a falsehood? And for what reason? To maintain a fantasy or avert dishonor by association? Hypocrisy underpins your every action, Galahad. All it would take is one good look in the mirror for you to realize the ideal you fight for doesn't even exist."

"You have no right to cast judgement on anyone; I walk with death every day while you dwell in your own tragedy. Any who stood alongside you is hardly free from sin, they are all complicit in your crimes against humanity for enabling your madness."

"Ah, madness. The bane of your lineage. Your family had a certain proclivity for insanity, an affinity even. Your wretched mother was consumed by her obsession and your father allowed himself to become inebriated on rage. What of your sister? What ever became of Amara?"

"The same fate that is about to befall you."

Re: [Landmark] Hidden Moon Village

Galahad unsheathes his blade from the scabbard on his hip with his right hand and summons an enchanted blade into his left. The Black King meets this display by extending twin longswords from his gauntlets that extend straight downwards, cutting the straps binding the leg weights to his armour. He immediately takes off in a burst of speed the instant the heavy mass is no longer attached to his greaves and arrives in front of Saber in the blink of an eye. In the same motion and without a trace of hesitation, Berserker lets loose with a violent downward slash carrying so much force one could easily assume he was about to hurl the sword across the island. Instead of parrying, Galahad vanishes and reappears above his opponent. He times his evasion so that he teleports at the last possible moment before impact, to prevent Lancelot from reigning himself in and therefore compel his strike to overextend due to the sudden lack of resistance. In the face of his adversary's lack of reaction, the Black King had instinctively slowed down his slash, preventing him from entering into a disadvantageous position when Saber does evade. When a shadow is cast over him concurrent to his foe's disappearance, he reflexively lashes upwards with the longsword in his left gauntlet to meet the perceived strike before he even sees it. Virtually simultaneously, he raises his other blade behind it to create an X-shaped formation that would shield him from any sword strike one could launch from above. Galahad mirrors this action with the weapon in his right hand, placing it behind and perpendicular to the horizontal Noble Phantasm in front of it.

Instead of the clash Berserker is counting on, the foremost weapon in his opponent's grasp phases through both of his steel swords and the sound of clashing metal he was expecting occurs a second later than predicted. Before the Black King can react, the wind-natured Phantasm 'cuts' through the chakra network in his left hand, preventing it from moving or molding chakra. Upon perceiving this threat he unconsciously commands Lord Vile to extend a single wire from it's back towards the floor behind him and retract itself towards it. He manages to escape backwards but not before the ethereal blade cuts through to the rest of his forearm, rendering it unusable. Unwilling to show weakness or give his adversary the satisfaction of knowing he landed a serious blow, Berserker instructs his sentient armour to indirectly motion his left hand to give the appearance he could still move it. He uses it to perform the taunting gesture of beckoning Galahad towards him, combining a display of mockery and shrugging off the blow into a simple motion. Despite taking damage, he had learned a crucial pierce of information regarding the Noble Phantasm. It could not be blocked, and so it could not be used to block. Entering another fighting stance, this time with the longsword in his left hand extended before him, Lancelot begins to superheat the blade to extreme temperatures. This time if Saber repeated the same tactic and tried to use the rearmost sword to block, it would be melted and his body cleaved in two. Glimpsing the steam and waves of heat rising from the pitch-black blade, Galahad immediately divines his opponent's plan and decides to return the Noble Phantasm to the Throne, exchanging it with a lance instead.

Unbeknownst to the Black King, upon materializing in Saber's grasp, the original lance had teleported behind him and left a replica in it's place. It extends towards his back at a frightening pace, but he jumps upwards upon hearing it's extension and lands on it's edge. He balances himself on it and allows it's forward movement to carry him towards his foe. Taking advantage of the spear's ability to reshape, Galahad forms sharp stakes on both sides of Lancelot and the latter leaps forwards to avoid them. The former then throws the replica lance in his grasp at his target's chest to impale him and Berserker effortlessly cleaves the cheap replica in two with his superheated blade. Shards of metal fly in every direction once the lance is shattered, colliding with flesh and armour alike. Though Saber deflects most of them with his sword, a few fragments clip him in several locations, including the edge of his left eye where blood begins to pour from the wound. Berserker then brings down his sword on his now defenseless opponent, but Saber instantly recalls the original lance to his hand via teleportation. He motions it upwards to block the longsword's downward slash, this feat made possible by it's indestructible constitution. However the heat of the blade conducts into the weapon on contact, slowly burning the hand holding the lance. Berserker's helmet unwinds to reveal a savage grin on his face and a wild look in his eyes as he relishes in returning the 'favour' from earlier. Through an immense force of will, Galahad overrides his natural instinct to release his grip and bares with the pain long enough to augment his body's durability. A glowing aura of silver light accompanies the activation of 'Body of Achilles'. The mode would not eliminate the damage he suffered earlier, but it would prevent further injury and at least numb the pain while active.

Reaching out with his free hand, Saber grabs a hold of the heated blade and moves it aside while simultaneously extending his lance at point-blank range. His opponent is caught unawares by this sudden maneuver and is pushed back before he can react, being carried all the way to the far wall by the spear. With a single command from it's wielder, the sentient armour creates a hole in the steel wall to their back by reshaping it and so rather than being pinned against the it, Berserker falls through the opening. He aids his plummet towards the floor by diving and after falling most of the way, he manifests a pair of wings composed of flames on his armour's back to slow his descent. Galahad takes no such precautions and simply sprints towards an open window before leaping out of it. He lands on the island's metallic surface with a devastating crunch as the floor all around him fractures and cracks. Standing across from his adversary once more, the Black King opens up a portal above him to let forth a swarm of steel bats that merge and coalesce into a titanic ship above Saber. After dropping his weapons and activating 'Strength of Heracles', Galahad surges upwards and catches the ship just as it begins to fall before hurling it towards it's creator. Just before it strikes him, the huge chunk of metal 'explodes' into thousands of bats that spread to either side of him and take to the skies once more. The fuse together again, this time into the form of a serpentine dragon and begin to circle back around from above to pursue their prey once more. In conjunction to this, Berserker raises huge chunk of cuboid-shaped steel from the ground and projects it towards his son. Galahad bounds towards it, delivers a devastating punch to it with his superhuman strength and it shatters into a million pieces. All of the shrapnel is pushed back towards the Black King due to the winds generated by the sheer force of the strike, and he's enveloped in a black rain of jagged metal. He reforms his helmet before they reach him and a raucous cacophony is created as they futilely collide with and rattle against his steel suit.​

Unperturbed by the flying shards, he commands the dragon to advance on it's prey. Once again, Galahad leaps towards it almost as soon as he lands, and pulls back his right arm to make ready for another punch. However just before the two collide, the dragon splits back into the thousands of bats which compose it and envelop him a tornado of spinning claws and talons. However anticipating a repeat of the same tactic from earlier, Saber was more than ready to deal with the metallic whirlwind. Through his sound chakra, he vibrated every molecule in his body at the same frequency as those in steel, allowing him to phase through the bats and continue falling towards Berserker. Once he gets within close quarters, finally he lashes out with his dominant hand to strike at his opponent's cheek and the latter motions to do the same. His whole body still resonating at the same frequency, Galahad's hand passes through the dark helmet and lands directly on skin. However upon the briefest contact, one of the Black King's seals activate, temporarily transforming his head into steel. Saber begins to literally 'fall through' his opponent but not before he's struck squarely in the jaw by his adversary's fist. He's thrown backwards by the force of the blow and the pain disrupts his concentration, thereby ending his technique. Galahad tumbles to the metallic floor and lands awkwardly on his back, pushing the very air out of his lungs. He rolls across the ground several times before struggling to his feet, still winded by the impact.

While his opponent was incapacitated, the Black King transformed his body to steel and superheated it, before fusing into his armour to double his size and make the transformation permanent. Finally he activates 'the Silver King' and his body unwinds into millions of wires though it retains it's shape and form. His visage is morphed to resemble a mask more than a face. Every edge of his body becomes as sharp as the finest blade. Several horns grow from his head and his hair becomes akin to flame. Then he disappears. The newfound elasticity in his spring-like joints and tendons allow him to store and return four times more elastic energy per step than normal, effectively quadrupling his speed. His very movement creates enormous amounts of sound energy, generating a cracking-like noise reminiscent of an explosion. He reappears in front of his foe and in the same moment and strikes out with a roundhouse kick. With virtually no time to react, Galahad activates 'Agility of Perseus' to push his reactions to their utmost limit. He ducks under the limb, leaning back until his spine is almost parallel to the ground to evade the kick that threatened to decapitate him. He no sooner returns to a neutral position once the opponent's right leg passes over his head, only to find Lancelot initiating a storm of punches towards him.

The strikes travel faster than loosed arrows and are all aimed at vital points but Saber dodges every single one by only motioning his upper body. A millisecond later, Berserker transitions into a leg sweep to cleave his lower body in two. Unable to jump due to the backlash of Heracles, Galahad activates 'Body of Achilles' and chains on 'Speed Atalanta' to simultaneously tank the hit and go on the counterattack. He mirrors Lancelot's actions from before and lets loose a flurry of straights, jabs and hooks. The Black King meets this challenge head on and begins to pummel his opponent in the same way. Neither of them bother to evade or deflect, but take every hit full on to see who would win this war of attrition. Thousands of punches are thrown in their lightning-fast exchange but it comes to an abrupt close when Galahad activates 'Strength of Heracles' for split second, long enough for a single punch. He lands a solar plexus blow and his adversary's entire stomach is caved in, the metal shrieking as it's forcibly bent inwards. Berserker is sent flying across the island and into a far-off skyscraper, bringing the whole structure down on top of him. It collides into a nearby cluster of towers as it falls, causing them to topple one after the other, burying the Black King in a scrap metal mausoleum of his own creation. Just when it appears as though he's been defeated, the skyscrapers begin to rise as they're levitated off the ground. All of them are suspended above Berserker, who can be seen regenerating from his damage via metallic wires sewing back together, and he slowly raises his hand to the sky. He then makes a series of quick forward motions with each of the fingers on that hand to direct them towards Saber sequentially.

After placing both of his arms before him, connecting them up to the wrists and splaying his hands, Galahad releases a massive wave of silver energy towards the incoming towers. The ethereal wave envelops tower after tower, breaking them down into more of the same energy before returning it to the Throne. It runs out of power after transporting the last tower and so dissipates before it ever reaches the opponent. However he immediately proceeds to return the transported edifices to the battlefield high above Lancelot, each one stacked on top of the other. Before they can descend on him, the Black King raises a colossal knight in his appearance from the ground beneath his feet. Equipped with an equally massive sword, Mordred slices through all of the falling towers and the bisected slabs fall to either side of it. By returning his discarded lance to the Throne, Galahad exchanges it with a gleaming titan in brilliant white armour known as Gawain that is only slightly dwarfed by Berserker's creation. The large-scale avatars charge at each other with their respective masters atop their heads. After getting within striking distance they raise their blades in unison and a deafening clang resonates through the battlefield as their swords clash. They match each other blow for blow, sending vibrations throughout the island on every collision. Finally, the Black King decides to break the equilibrium by taking matters into his own hands by linking his movements to that of his familiar. After creating a cursed imitation of the legendary blade Excalibur, he performs a masterful combination of sword strikes and Mordred mirrors these movements both simultaneously and perfectly. This quickly overwhelms Gawain who's own movements are slower due to the delay in receiving mental commands and executing them.

A few moments later, Berserker's golem successfully disarms the other monolith and it's gleaming white sword is sent crashing to the ground. Without a shred of hesitation, Mordred brings it's blade down on the white knight in a vertical slash. Just before it's head is cleaved in two, Gawain performs a maneuver that allows him to stop the sword by pressing it's palms against either side to 'catch' it. It barely holds back the edge of the blade from reaching it's face, though it inches closer every second as Mordred puts it's weight behind it. Instead of directing it's energy to holding back the weapon, Gawain diverts it's course by sliding it to the right over it's shoulder and the sudden shift results in the sword flying out of Mordred's grasp. This leads them to engage in unarmed combat and they each grab a hold of the other's hands in an attempt to overpower their opponent. Both fighters have the same idea and begin sprinting across their familiar's connected arms to use as bridges. Prior to this Berserker ceased the link binding his familiar to his movements and fused Excalibur into his chest to embody all of it's abilities. Before the two of them reach the interlocked fingers, Galahad instructs his golem to let go and pull back, creating a substantial gap between the monoliths. He then leaps off the edge with no hesitation and his opponent does the same. As they meet mid-air, Saber initiates 'Body of Achilles' and launches a straight at his father's face. The Black King catches the strike with a grip like a vice, holding onto Galahad long enough to transform his left hand into steel — one of Excalibur's cursed abilities. Unable to break out of the iron grip, he's forced to teleport to the Throne before reappearing above Berserker. Immediately after he returns his golem Noble Phantasm, exchanging it with a suit of armour made of steel to protect against Excalibur's effects.

The battle continues like this for what seems like an eternity, an endless series clashes where one of them has the advantage and then the other. However as with all things, it must inevitably come to an end. The battle was not decided by power or even skill, for in that they were equals. Rather it was a matter of stamina and a test of endurance. At several points during the rest of their fight, Galahad had sent an inumerous amount of Berserker's techniques to the Throne and later returned the chakra to his body. This was how he outlasted his father, for this continuous absorption provided him with seemingly infinite reserves provided his opponent had chakra left to expend. With the almost all of his energy spent, Berserker uses the last of his strength to transform into a steel monstrosity, a veritable fusion of his body and throne. Jagged spears emerge from his back, metallic bars jut out from his face and a crown of spikes in the shape of a crest rail encircles his head. His last thoughts are of Kurogakure, a series of flashing images exhibiting it’s members and their exploits. All of them cross his mind but in particular he remembers his knights, Ruin and Tragedy, who had served him faithfully. He thinks of Kaname, the student who inherited his will and bloodline. He thinks of Avenger, his trusted lieutenant and greatest ally. His last thought is of Ruler, his lover and successor to his kingdom. Galvanized by these thoughts he assumes a proud stance and meets his son’s gaze with a defiant look in his eyes. The Black King dies on his feet, with a grim smile on his face, content with the knowledge that his legacy would live on. His statue is immortalized in metal by Excalibur's curse, which rendered his transformation irreversible even after death.

"Just one of my names is enough to strike terror into your heart."

Dantes has been described by those close to him as coldly rational and a figure of supreme calm. His defining characteristic is his unparalleled composure in the face of _____ and adversity. It is as if he truly has a knowledge and mastery of all things, and so the conclusions event reach neither surprise or perturb him in the slightest. The Count does not fancy himself to be a god, though his conduct is often that of an immortal among mortals. He never aggrandizes or elevates himself through his words but his contempt for the worldly often bleeds through in a disdainful look or dismissive gesture when faced with the follies of mankind. Dantes believes himself to be above all of humanity's foibles, conceiving himself as an impartial arbiter here to wreak vengeance for the most heinous of transgressions. His immersion in religious literature during his imprisonment in the Chateau d'If established a connection between him and God, at least in Edmond's mind. He sees himself as Providence taken flesh, the instrument of god's reckoning in this world and the next. He has also become quite taken with the idea of the Seven Deadly Sins, believing them to be the core flaws nestled in the heart of man. He often cites them, in a prosecutorial and accusatory way, as reasons for a sinner's imminent judgement. He weighs their guilt in an aloof and uninvolved manner, but at the crescendo of their despair, a fanatical gleam can be seen in his eye when the sinner's will is broken.
