The Trail to Atlantis

Venus would find a group of strange ninja gathering in the room where she sat. There all men besides one other woman and all seemed to have headbands of different villages and have attire for a multitude of climates. She could sense powerful and distinct chakra resonating from most of the members in the room, as well as powerful pervyness from the few men who stared at her while she changed. Venus was used to be stared at. She has traveled many lands with her mother and seen many different types of people, but one thing always rang true, guys stared at her body. Lust and the "male gaze" did not belong to one village, it was a virus that infected all in the world in one shape or another. Venus did not really care though, her body was tool that she used to get ahead in life, her mother has hammered that into her head. Her morals and care for others opinions were non existent, she could have gotten completely naked in this room in front of all these men if it got her ahead.

All of a sudden a man ran into the room claiming something had broken, Venus got slightly worried and was going to stand when all of a sudden the world went blank.

When Venus awoke she found herself on the dock of the ship. It was exact copy of the one her mother and her group had used. A breeze of sea air moved through her body, causing her hair to be slightly blown back. Venus looked out at the vast ocean and islands that surrounded them, it looked almost exactly like the land of water, wait, it was the land of water! Venus wondered if she had been kidnapped and sold into sex slavery again when all of the sudden a clicking sound could be heard coming from wheel. Venus knew the sound too well, it was the sound of her mother's high heels clicking against the wood of the ship as she shouted out orders. Her mother looked as powerful as ever, her deep scarlet hair blowing freely in the wind, dancing along with it. "M..mom" Venus said quietly and ran to embrace her mother, but she never made it.

The blue sky grew black in seconds and storms began to rumble. The clear blue waters of the land of water grew black and deathly. The ship began to be pulled abruptly to the left, and that is when Venus saw the whirlpool. Well what she believed to be a whirlpool, the center of it was not normal. Large teeth like structures jutted from the center leading into an abyss Venus could not see the end of. Venus tried to reach her mother and tell her to have the crew abandon ship, when a shadow began to loom of the ship. A large black tidal wave was rising in the distance, completely eclipsing the boat. "Mom we have to abandon ship! Tell the crew to forgo the life boats and rely on water ninjutsu!" Venus called. Her mother did not seem to hear her or acknowledge her existence. Venus called and screamed more but still nothing. She was about to grasp her mother and through her overboard but then, crash, it was too late the wave swallowed the ship whole, completely destroying it. Venus knew how to swim and used her water abilities to fight against the current and swim towards her mother but just as she about to reach her...

Venus awoke from the feeling of falling to the ground. She gasped and looked around but found herself far away from the land of water. Standing in front of her was one of the men from the room along with the other people that had been in it, though some were still passed out. She wondered if they had all been dragged down to the ocean floor as they were surrounded by water, though far different from the clear blue waters she was used to. It seemed a fight was going on between the people she came here with and the strange fish creatures that must inhabit the sea floor. Venus was up to fight, especially when surrounded by water, but when she tried to manipulate the water around her to crush these fishy assholes nothing happened. It was if no chakra inside of her, there was nothing to channel. A water dragon slayer surrounded by water with no chakra? Venus was in a truly sticky situation indeed.

Brink would let out a slight sigh as the men would begin to surround them as one seemingly being their ‘leader’ would finally reveal himself though what was truly being revealed was seemingly a sad sack of a commander… However, just like people underestimated brink’s great strength because of his size he would seemingly be doing this to the man now standing at the beginning of the circle that was surrounding them. Therefore, he would put his personal thoughts aside and try and find something of use to him in this world to use against the men now seemingly so quick to threaten the group because of a few mistakes alas Brink had no time to turn around and ridicule those who would have seemingly thrown them into this boat with their poor decision making within the circumstances they faced now…
However, these thoughts would have seemingly been interrupted by an echoing voice in his head seemingly sending his mind into a tremor of chaotic noise and disarray as he would try and focus in on what the seemingly new being would be trying to tell him… at first it came out as nothing more than muffled attempts at advice sounds to be as though a child would have been attempting to speak to a grown man but rather the truth would be the opposite it would for once be brink that couldn’t understand the voice ‘invading’ his mind today…

“Ouy tsum nrael ot lortonc eht rewop nithiw ouy, esiwretho ouy llahs ssol lortnoc….”

As seemingly a new power would be overwhelming that of his old it would seem as though his chakra would no longer be an option to solve the issue at hand for in all honestly it felt as though a distant memory for his channels seemingly had all be diluted with this new power and the possibility of use both at least as of now was a horrible no, though this discovery would drive him into a sense of rage for feeling yet again so unless especially after the mirage he had just escaped from however, this would further brinks understanding of the new found power overwhelming him and his understanding of how it would overtake him would swiftly come to light for out of pure rage he would unleash just a portion of his seemingly new potential he would swiftly draw his sword from the sheath in anticipation of an upcoming battle that was seemingly about to erupt…
However, with that his seemingly power would erupt from his body and with it being seemingly channeled through his weapon for the time being, therefore, as he would swiftly draw his weapon a seemingly bubble would erupt from his hilt and would send a wave of seeming energy or whatever new found power he had at the men in front of him swiftly taking off five of their heads as it would slowly start to dement their necks before they would finally erupt splashing a layer of blood onto the floor and into the water that would have seemingly floated around causing a rather interesting blood water to form causing brink to let out a slight laugh as he would have truly found this men to have been threats until he would have so easily destroyed seemingly a great portion of their so called ‘fleet’…

“If this is the army as to which you speak to assault use with you may want to rethink your strategy…”

With this brink would stand on the left side of Roland as he would note the bodies moving behind them and he would stand on the left side of Roland ready for whatever actions might transpire next..

Perhaps it was the freakish nature of the individuals before him, with their fish-like appearance, reminding him of an arrogant neanderthal he had once met, who had a certain fondness for hydrogen mixed with oxygen in a liquid state, their grotesque faces, crafted as though their creator had only the slightest knowledge on what a face was supposed to look like, let alone how it was meant to be structured. Many of the fishman had incredible gaps in their teeth, jaws, and one even had a horrifyingly long nose that looked similar to a saw. The sheer disgust Kuro felt from their hideous forms was nothing compared to the level of disgust as they spoke, as if he were equal to the mutant fish. It may have even been the god awful stench from their scales, which could be confused for their skin, but the shine that reflected off of those scales made it too obvious that they were certainly not the only layer of flesh these bestial creatures had. Epidermal layer aside, these beasts were also hostile and primitive. A trident was a pointless weapon, barely passable as a symbol of status, let alone a weapon. Tridents were little more than overhyped spears, with an additional two points, which made the entire thing even more pointless than before, as it would take quite a bit of power to genuinely used the weapon without accidentally murdering an ally, or worse, yourself. It was likely the Captain, as Kuro assumed he was, based on the leading stance, as well as the trident itself, and his lazy appearance, had no idea that a trident was to weaponry what dress clothes was to a peasant, good for appearance, and can be useful in easy going situations, but overall useless and costly when used improperly, far more than the basic sword, that much was for sure. The sheer idiocy required to carry such an instrument into a hostile environment with little to no clue as to what skills could be used with such a specific tool, let alone just how stupid it could be to use said tool as an offensive injury distribution tool, was beyond baffling, enough that Kuro had to wonder if the Captain had become a captain through sheer blind luck, or if the usual level of intelligence in these beings was simply that low. If so, it would imply horrific things where the genetic code residing within the cells of these beasts was concerned, especially if the genetic material causing such a detrimental affect on the Captain was a species-wide contamination, if so, Kuro was far more concerned about it possibly being a viral influence, rather than a simple inherited gene passed down through various sources until it became strong enough to affect the entire populous of a species. Although it was possible that this man was a sub-species, or that he perhaps made up for his ineptitude with some form of impossible strength or speed, doubtful as it was, it would at least make the man, or fish, whichever was better, more admirable, rather than being a fat fish needing a new hole to breathe from, in the shape of Dragonslayer.

Curious though he was, it was not Kuro's place to voice these theories aloud, nor was it the proper time to question the intelligence of the being who was attempting, and failing horribly if the others' responses were anything to go by, to intimidate the group, regardless of the fact that the group could easily tear apart the guards in front of them, and that was as individuals, not as a full group. As a full group, they would not doubt destroy this little army with little more than a sneeze, though that was not enough for Kuro, no, he wanted something far better than a simplistic attack to take out the unintelligent beings who presumed to rule over this island, regardless of whether or not the human presence on this island was numbered in the tens, they were obviously the lowest of the low, even here. Had they been ninja, it was doubtful they would proceed further than the lowly rank of gennin, and that was if they had chakra, since they did not, they were less than academy students, coupling in the intelligence factor. To threaten a group you know nothing about, then to take their peaceful speaking as lies, without hesitating for a single instance to consider the possibility that said people were not lying, it was so far beyond stupid that Kuro had to question whether or not he had been injected with heroin, as that would be one of the few explanations which could possibly explain the horrific lack of logic that the guards seemed to possess. Kuro was being overcritical, however, and knew he should act, rather than simply ignore everyone else's comments and actions while focusing on his attempts to contemplate how perpetually stupid one being could possibly be, and he decided to do so in a most hilarious manner, as usual, since he was so often trying to be comedic, whether he failed or not was up to others, but he had fun doing it anyway. In any case, Kuro found himself at an impasse, since he could just kill them all and be done with it, but that would be cruel to the others in the group, disallowing them to have their own fun with the guards, and that was not something Kuro liked doing. Perhaps, though, he could assume the others were going to do the same as him, and simply murder his fair share, as it was both cathartic and kind, as the others would get their own chance to kill the guards, which were strangely numbered 21, which could be a sign of some society which worshiped certain numbers, or it could be completely arbitrary. With this in mind, Kuro did the one thing few expected, and let loose with a terrible force, far mightier than the average attack, launching Dragonslayer forward with such force that it pierced five of the fish beings, making what Kuro would later refer to as a fish-ke-bob, and instantly killing the five fishmen it had pierced, while the other fishmen simply stared in shock, surprised that anyone would raise a hand to them, or at least that is what Kuro perceived was going on in their measly three ounce brains.

In his own reality, time paused, and Kuro heard laughter, not the saintly or kind laughter he remembered from his previous dream, but laughter matching his own demented, curious nature. He turned to see the culprit, only to see a pink ball of fluff, wrapped around a man who was wearing strange clothing, like his pants, which went only to his mid-shins, and had a strange pink and white scale pattern on them, though his shirt was a simple button up white shirt, left open for whatever reason. The man began to speak, his words incredibly clear to Kuro, feeling almost nostalgic to the Mad Mystic, "Hahaha! Perfect! Slaughtering the weak because they insulted you, quite a move, and exactly what I would want out of my successor." Kuro would have spoken more, but he was interrupted by the individual, "Dont bother speaking, I know what you are going to say, and I would rather be brief, as to relay as much information in the short time I have to speak. You have been given a power I used to hold, and I am here to tell you about it, so listen up. The first thing you should know is the fruit revolves around strings, which can be manifested from your finger tips, and do mostly obvious thing, though if you connect a string to someone's spine, you can control their movements, otherwise, they are best used for cutting or grappling. Give it a try once you can move again." Inexplicably, the man vanished, and time resumed, Kuro moving the instant it did, making a strange twitching gesture with his right index finger, only for a thin, nearly unnoticeable string to fly out from the Mad Mystic's hand, before it stretched out to such a degree that it wrapped around the handle of Dragonslayer, which was still embedded in the corpses of the fishmen, before it suddenly pulled back, bringing the legendary blade, which was larger than Kuro, if just by a few inches, back into Kuro's right hand, the bodies lagging behind. In the same motion, keeping his 'badass moment' going, Kuro sheathed Dragonslayer and gestured behind him, signaling to the others that they could have their fun now, as he had his own moment of fun, even if it was at the cost of several lives and cleaning supplies which he would have to procure for Dragonslayer later on, though no one needed to know how much he loved that weapon...

While onboard the ship before the craziness that comes to follow, his chakra sensory prowess was really being tested. Kaigen had lots of chakra, but for once in his life he felt like he was actually in a room full of people that may give him a run for his money. Chakra signatures that he was yet to identify, but for the moment it wasn't his concern. The doctor; assuming he was the one who summoned him, seemed relatively calm despite all these new characters popping up one by one. He almost considered them unnessecary, but considering he didn't or probably did pick them up from the streets, they had purpose.



For whatever purpose it held, he had to think clearly. 'Dusk' was the first to approach and speak to Kaigen directly while the rest at this point in time, speaking out loud towards the group. Sensing confidence and sweet juicy chakra inside him, a character very hard to miss. His words were reassuring to Kaigen, at least knowing he wasn't the only one confused. So at this point in time he understood they were all technically 'chosen', made him feel a bit honored, even if he didn't know what he was honored for. Responding to Kaigen was a simple nod of seriousness, he still had those confused eyebrows active - but at least he was willing to wait and find out.



Now we are about to move into a very sensitive subject, prepare yourself for the feels - yes the fourth wall has been kicked down. Kaigen Uzumaki was obviously born an Uzumaki, hence why he has his name, but he wasn't always a Uzumaki. Kaigen was actually a Shikyo, something the world had never quite understood - Shikyo? Isn't that - Let me finish. Kurokon with the big sword? Blue hair? standing in front of him and yet he couldn't notice him. Kaigen searched the world for his brother once he got his mind right, and when he thought he found him; he was ambushed and they took his most prized possession - His memory of his own brother. Not his soul, not his body, but his memories; so, the only man he truly loved and would split the world open and destroy the core just to see him was now just a man to him. He did not know who the man was, or what he actually does mean to him.


Shit so sad I might cry, the Shikyo brothers were in the strangest twist of fate in the same room. Kaigen had noticed his facial expression, his aura had a very 'friendly in a way, but still strangely alarming' he could feel;however, it was his face that threw him off. Kaigen picked up an actual pure emotion from his older brother in his eyes, Kaigen did not feel the same to be honest;because, he didn't know who he was. At least Kaigen thought he didn't know him, but it did peek curiousity. Eye contact between the two was strong, it really made Kaigen focus. As Kaigen's mouth opened to speak, instead instantly another person burst in the room changing his focus. After listening to the commotion, without being able to comment on it - it all went black.

Time Skip.

Kaigen soon after had awaken to 'Roland' in front of him preparing to defend him and the others who had been not so active. Kaigen rolled backwards hopping back on his feet immediately after seeing what exactly he was dealing with. Jumping fifteen meters ahead of him and right next to Roland on his right side. He couldn't feel his chakra anymore, meaning wherever he was; it didn't allow chakra. He still had physical prowess, basic tactics, and - Holy shit people are still finding ways to fight? How was he going to defend himself if everyone else could? Fuck it - NEXT!

Before Aoi got a chance to say anything more, an oddly tinny voice chimed in her skull, "You don't need your chakra in this situation, anyway. You've been given a key to the domain that shines everywhere. Focus your energy and choose your means of attack." Intrigued and keenly bent on silencing the mouthy sea folk, she sidestepped to clear a path to her target. Aoi pointed towards the fish captain accusingly. Packing light energy into her extended finger, she turned her thumb downwards before releasing it all towards the space between his eyebrows. "I hate speeches" she explained.

The kage seemed to have missed a good bit while he was asleep, but when he was thrown backwords behind Roland, water would splash up his nose and caused him to gasp awake, coughing and spewing, as he expelled water out of his lungs violently for a moment, it would take him a moment to get a feel for his surrondings and the actions going on around him, Kikato would slowly stand and with some minor coughing still, he stretched out, and upon turning around he had seen the guards, with everyone else inbetween, Kikato would scan the room around him, noting each guard and each person and their location, then it hit Kikato, Ichibi was gone, and all feel for his normal Chakra network, well this was a drag, Kikato would let out a soft sigh, and then he watched as the others did their things.

First we had this Blond spewing a bunch of words and egging on the guards, then next he alit in flames, That was cool, next was Yahiko, giving a big bad speech, and all Kikato could do was sigh and facepalm, his villager had spirit, that is for certain, then he looked up at the third person, someone he had no clue about, but had a huge sword and a loud mouth as well, but less original then the others speechs, then the fourth person he saw, it was brink, the one who killed his cousin, no hard feelings mind you, just that is one of the easiest ways to remember him, then this blue haired man, with a big fucking sword, like holy crap huge, and then this one chick who just flicked a pebble....A FUCKING PEBBLE, she had gaulls.

After Examining the group Kikato would roll his shoulders and crack his neck, he would step foreward to the right side of Roland, he took the standard Gentle Fist Stance, but with two fingers out, and all of a sudden the fingernails would suddenly extend out, first to just a meter long, and he nodded to Roland "Time to show them why I am called the Ultimate Spear?" luck or misfortune, he didn't know which, but his Sin, Lust was still around, and he could access her powers, that was at least usefull enough

"Chubby you say, well I will show you just what a rubber man is-" the guard sputtered out before slumping slowly down to the ground in a heap, a smoldering hole in between his eyes showed the cause of death and a voice rang out over the silence, a voice of Aoimara. While he had spoke to Dusk, it seemed another had stepped in before he could bluster onward with another speech. This was around the same time as a gigantic blade pierced five of the guards making a complete mess of their flimsy scale armor and their weak inbred bones. Before it could be processed by the sixteen remaining guards including their captain, the sword was already sheathed. Roland could just imagine the size of that shitgrin. Of course this was bout the time that the other guards noticed that the left hand of the man talking to their captain had turned completely to fire. In tandem with this event Brink would withdraw his sword and launch a barrage that crushed and exploded the necks of five of the guards into a bloody paste which sprayed behind them into the water creating a pink mist. The headless corpses slumped to the ground in synchronicity with their captain, a picture that would be the height of black humor their loyalty until the bitter end. This would happen about halfway through Yahiko Judal's speech of course, interrupting the both of them undoubtedly the new powers were no doubt quite odd to all of them. Taika would have withdrew his sword all but three seconds before this as well, the light arcing past him in a flash to pierce through the captain.

"Oh it's about time sir, though I must say can I have that blue haired fox on my team, I like the cut of her-" Roland would be interrupted before he could complete that thought.

If Judal would have went to the sand to nap as he intended perhaps he could warn those passed out there, for two figures suddenly appeared from beneath the sea. The first had seventeen tentacles sprouting from out it's backside and far too many eyes to count, however the most disturbing thing of this human mockery was the fact it had claws in the middle of it's suckers and that it swiped towards Kikato's left shoulder attempting to cleave it in twain. The abomination had seemingly appeared out of thin air behind Kikato giving him little time to react and driving him away from Roland. The other figure would have suddenly appeared crouched next to Venus (if she does not edit by 12pm) and touched her, with this simple touch the human looking oddity would have sealed away her access to any of the chakra connections within her body.

"Kekeke you thought they were the serious ones huh" a disembodied voice would say drifting throughout the clouds before Roland would be sent flying twenty meters towards the edge of the water blood sprouting from the left side of his face and causing him to twist and spin in mid-flight before crashing down and bouncing like a rag doll along the slate flooring.

'Heh, that what lacks a soul and a visible form?' Roland thought to himself as he sprung up and came face to face with the third warrior which had hit him. Of course by then he had Brink in a choke hold, the man stood behind him with a grip that exceeded the force of any the odd ninja from Ukiyoe would have ever felt. Due to his lack of presence he had been able to sneak up on the ninja, unfortunately the warrior had no way of anticipating the new ability found within that person and as such had not bound his hands. Roland as well was not aware of this and let out a bellow of pure rage as he launched himself forward withdrawing his Zanpakuto even though it's abilities were sealed off in this dimension. Within a second he would have switched the man with a rock a foot in front of him, of course this would leave enough time for Brink to get an attack in with his own hands. Once switched he would drop with his left knee while swinging his right shoulder down and smacking the crown of the man's nose with his elbow releasing a fresh fountain of crimson blood to erupt from the man's no doubt already beaten body. Roland of course would not register the wounds if there were any and would bring his katana down through the left eye socket before ripping up and to the right flinging the body away "Do not touch my friends!" he would scream as the warrior would fly back into the water.

The Fourth had Kaigen Shikyu by the neck constricting his airwaves and enforcing the water to stay within the lungs of the ninja.(if he does not post by 12pm) "Looks like you forgot one pretty boy, too bad we are here now. Your reign of terror has come to an end" as he spoke, his oily voice echoing across the dome, another figure appeared and kicked out his leg towards Aoimara looking to bisect her while she was unaware. A sixth appeared behind Yahiko and attempted to grab him by both sides of the head with four of his six arms.

((First one to attack each gets to describe them better, do not attempt to land any blows they are not fodder. The next post I will unlock a new ability for all those who have consistently posted or pre-notified me))

Alrighty, so looking at the Constant Posting(you know who you are) and those who have PM'd me about absence you guys get a choice by friday.

All those who register and get abilities before the next round of posting may use them in their next round. Bear in mind we are in combat, be careful to not skip a post. Max A rank.

“You are learning to use your new found power well, however, with it you have already found yourself in another situation of great need of my help… how shall you far against something this powerful a wonder you have never faced…”


With this the once hefty smile upon brink’s face would fall into that of pure anger and rage as the seemingly beast behind him would have put him into a choke hold with strength greater than that of his own which was something to be quite adamant about for not many would have shocked the man that was seemingly now held hopeless within the grasp of an unknown assailant. Therefore, as he would have been grabber his sword would have seemingly fell tip first into the ground only five feet in front of him leaning away from him in such a way that it would have been seemingly only two feet out of his reach though the man wouldn’t have reached for it to begin with… with his seeming rage now boiling over the man would have no time to think calmly and would allow this new found power to overflow with him, he did not care about the warning that the man would have given him saying it would have consumed his being for he finally at the point that this power would truly show it’s true potential as he would use it in a rather interesting manner not of that as the first time but rather seemingly more in control and in a much greater strength than the attack he used beforehand…

Therefore, brink would simply attempt to grasp some air into his lungs as he would fling his arms backwards and would stop them at the bottom of the creature’s abdomen and would swiftly begin to raise them along with pushing off the ground of which he was on simultaneously which while in the sea granted him a rather large range to which he wouldn’t have needed to dislocate his shoulders to have to rip all the way up to his neck before he would seemingly have been switched with a rock? However, this would have not concerned him for he would have been moving at his locomotive speed as he would seemingly turned back into place slightly floating as he would be headed back down toward his original position he would notice the sound of rupturing organs and screams of agony as the fish man would seemingly would have been head back toward him… with the strength of his attack reaching the peak of its abilities in its current state it seemingly would have rattled the man’s organs in such a way that nothing was left unharmed, his ribs would have seemingly ruptured from within his skin and would have been poking out in all which ways as blood would have filled even more of the water around them while his organs would have seemingly all went into disarray as many of them ruptured as he would scream from the sheer pain of this man’s attack and as this would transpire he would have noticed Roland’s seemingly tandem onslaught on the assailant as he would swiftly float toward brink yet again however, this time it would be in a bloody mess of destruction brought on by the two men he would have so foolishly assaulted….

Therefore, as brink would be headed toward the ground he would instead stand upon the sword that would have fallen and would have surrounded his right foot in his new found power as it would hanging gently in the water next to his blade as the left would have been on his tip toes as he would swing his right leg back as the man would approach him in a seemingly dead state he would swing with all his might in an attempt to kick in the head sending his head that would if the foot connected clean off his body aiming seemingly at the man that would have been attacking his kage, the destination of the seemingly head soccer ball would be aimed at the face of the man standing only a few feet if that behind Kikato, this if done correctly would give Kikato enough time to realize the assailant behind him and take the necessary actions to take him out as well, freeing them at assist in the other battles that where sure to be commencing as well…

'If my new found power wishes to control me I welcome it to try for I am the master of myself and no one else. So I welcome you into my body just like all my other powers and hope you enjoy your stay as my servant to my will...'

With this the voice would go silent before letting out one further sentence before seemingly fading back into his subconscious until a later date...

'Hahaha, interesting I shall allow you control of my power for you have amused me and I await to see what my new found "master" can do...'

((OOC: Would like a new devil fruit ability.)

So the fat bastard was going to pick a fight with Dusk? It was nothing more he wanted than to put the man in his place and yet something had happened before he could even make his move. The bucket of chum had dropped before he could finish his sentence, what seemed to be a hole in his head as deduced by the half and half, Dusk sighed loudly as he almost had a small fit ," Dammit and here I thought I could put a hole in him...Took all the fun from my witty banter and now...Wait the fuck!," as if he didn't catch the very minor detail of a pebble being lodged through his head which to be honest was pretty fucking badass, and yet slightly disturbing in a sense. Well if one could project a small pebble through one's skull why not a teacup to make it funnier?

As the bodies began to fall in an order that was best described as going down with your captain, Dusk reveled in a thought that if the ones with him were this strong maybe he didn't need to protect them right? Well at any rate as he thought about this a new series of events would begin to pan out, the group being attacked...well all except him which lead him to access the situation that he comrades were in. The man which had been standing beside him, Roland, had been sent flying by some unknown force that he couldn't see or hear which even with his sense made him wonder what form of magic if that applied here had made him curious. The rest, one of which had be in the process of being strangled left Dusk with very few options.

He couldn't help all of the members of the group yet he could do something that would benefit some of them and allow them to fight back if the need arisen. With this he could feel the wind beside him churning and changing, someone had moved towards another that had been standing beside him and it was then that Dusk acted. Once the tentacle monster had attacked Kikato, Dusk had switched his sword style to a reverse handle, catching the tentacle before it had landed to claim its victims arm," I've seen way to many dramas to know where you were going with that Tentacle, instead of fighting someone who's unaware of their surroundings try me on for size eh? I've wanted to have a taste of calamari for a while," of course this would have been the case if not for the new male attacking the monster in his place.

Instead seeing as the monster had been dealt with, Dusk now turned his attention to the others which would have needed help. The closest to him by a few meters would have been Kaigen, who at the moment would have been in the midst of a two handed six arm sandwich, which even back in their realm wasn't too abnormal but weird none the less. Using his fast reflexes he would dash towards the monster, coming behind its blindside on the right and using his left arm which was on fire to aim a very burn inflicting punch towards the middle of its spine, aiming to at least make the monster drop the male and pay attention to him.

Now seeing as this monster or at least male (so he thought) was bigger in stature to Dusk, he had decided to intensify the flames that had covered his fist and make the fire itself spread catching the unsuspecting enemy's back to be set ablaze. Now the main issue with this would be Kaigen potentially being caught on fire in the process, but then again he could stop, drop and roll safely. It was a pretty big Gambit and yet he was going to go through with it in order to save the males head from popping like a ripe watermelon in the summer.

((If possible i'd like the Nen skill and ability please))

Group of ninjas who were now victimized and attacked on the spot. Surprisingly no one he met on the boat had died yet, perhaps everywhere he goes he just expect death and carnage. The second part of that sentence was usually true. As the carnage raged on the man named 'Roland' was taken away from his range, it would appear most of these people have some new found ability along with a specific opponent to face. Before he was able to actually choose his opponent it got chosen for him. As the fourth made an attempt to approach him he stood in almost fear, it was simply amazing how much ninjas relied on chakra and the moment it's gone; it's really gone, shattering.


Kaigen could see the arm making it's way towards his neck, he'd react fast enough to make his counter claim. Doing a quick backwards jump step once the arm was in the open he used this chance to strike. Using his right arm he used the Taijutsu 'Limb Removal' striking the guard in three places of the arm in very quick succession. If successful he would cock his left arm back for a follow up, but instead did a complete change course of action as he instead did a backwards roll after seeing some heavy fireworks coming his way. His roll was to move a couple of meters back into an open space, where he could use his speed as a somewhat advantage. He was fresh meat to those who wanted him dead, but he was far from going down without a fight. Pulling out two Kunai knifes, swirling them in his fingers his eyes locked on to the ones that could or already are moving towards him. He needed to think of something, and fast.

[Short: But I want that Nen and Ability please]

Venus watched as the ninja began to do battle with the fish men around. She did not understand how these ninja could use these abilities without chakra, as they most be some type of otherworldly power or bloodline. Venus herself felt helpless, she was usually unbeatable when surrounded by water, but without the ability to manipulate her chakra she was nothing more than a sitting duck. She felt reassured that her abilities would not have been needed anyways as fish man after fish man were defeated by these strange powers, their blood and bodies being destroyed and thrown around like rag dolls slightly turning her on.

Unfortunately for Venus reinforcements had arrived and they were far more powerful than the fish men had been. These new creatures seemed to be separating and choosing opponents and Venus was about to get up and finally move from her location when her own opponent began to appear crouched next to her. Thankfully, Venus had a great reaction time and would instantly tumble away (thank god her mom had taught her gymnastics) six feet to the left from the human like creature as it appeared and tried to touch her, grabbing a set of four glowing 14.5 inch throwing knives from the corpse of a beheaded fish man that was to the right of her as she went. She would place two throwing knives in each hand and move back another five feet to increase the distance between them. "Sorry, looking is free but touching is going to cost you," she said confidentially despite the situation she was in. She portrayed a confident demeanor but she actually had no idea what the fuck she was doing. She was not too good with weapons or in melee combat and typically relied on her techniques and chains to fight opponents. The only thing she could do now is  keep a good distance from the black slimy like figure so it could no touch her and keep stalling until one of the others could help her or a miracle shot from the earth. Both chances seemed slim.

(Short and shitty but requesting a devil fruit please)

Kikato would Growl loudly, his entire body covering with bones tipped, in an effort to force the creature to stop attacking him, then parts of his body would become completely Weaponized by these bones, growing to their max length, the bottom of his feet stayed untouched, so he coul dmove around, the main Areas that became weaponized was his Elbows, his Knees, and his Wrists, He would begin to flip around, kicking and kneeing, Driving elbows and slicing, he was in a blind rage from the thing that tried to swipe at him, it had gotten his shoulder as it intended, but between his armor and his naturally tough Skin, most likely he would not lose it, But he still went hacking and slashing towards the beast, Spinning and twirling, he was a raging Pin cushion right now and he would not stop till he killed the beast who attacked him.

If he had killed the beast, his head would slowly turn towards the others, the ominous look in his eye, He growl deep in his throat, he would slowly begin to make his march towards them, blood dripping from every bone , his face and cloths covered in blood as well, he would roll his neck making it crack, the bones moving away as he did as not to hurt himself, He would growl out to what ever would be left " If you don't all back away, I will Slaughter each and every one of you, I am not in the mood to play around, I have friends here, family even in my mind, and I will not let any of you harm any of them" and with that he would begin to head over towards Roland and Brink, Looking to Yahiko and Growling out at him "Get your ass up and do something, I wont be carrying you the whole way through" Then he would look back at the guys that were left, prepared to attack

Stepping back a little in genuine surprise, Aoi stared at her finger, then burst into raucous laughter. "Well it looks like the little brain birdie told me right!" she guffawed. What a neat surprise. Raising an eyebrow and turning slowly to look at the remaining guards, she squinted to focus (as she is still a bit wobbly on how to conjure these feats) visualizing light filling her entire body from the toes up. Wondering if she could move as quickly as that killer beam if she filled herself with it, she dashed forward towards the closest guard, stabbing an open downturned hand towards their throat in an arc. Aoi didn't notice the monster behind her miss her back with a sweeping leg. As she chopped forward, she couldn't resist a "HII-YAAAAAA!" for good measure. The monsters behind her would have to wait their turns until she got settled with this new ability ***since she I.C. has NO IDEA HOW TO USE IT YET.***

Provided the attack went well and nobody moved to hit her yet: Pleased beyond belief with this new trick, Aoimara naturally felt inclined to test the boundaries. What if she could keep it focused outside her body? The implications were too juicy to ignore. Squinting again she forced herself to focus, undoubtedly looking a bit silly and constipated (of course not caring in the least). Aoi tried to push her miraculous light into her left hand and shoot it into her right as a solid beam, clapping her hands over the next nearest guards ears. Things just kept getting better, and what a truly fascinating motley crew was assembled here...

((So far only Taika has not posted and he has pre-notified me so leggo))

The first fish mutant would be hit full in the face by the poisonous mist full out, though that mattered not as it passed above the gills that intake air not that this truly mattered. The poison would try to seep into his pores, it was simply a matter of time. However time was not in big amounts for poor Yahiko, as he ripped up his shirt and sent the poison trailing out of his feet the mongrel would throw himself into a superman leap as the sheet was being brought up to Yahiko's face, meaning both arms were busy and Yahiko was slipped forward even more towards him. The speed and timing rendered it nigh unavoidable and certainly affected the ninja's strategy. Unless he figured another way out the mongrel would crash into him with his bulk and snap his neck forward with his powerful muscles and attempt to chew off Yahiko's face.

By the time the fishman had been brought to Roland he was already thoroughly beaten, it was a good thing that the Ootsutsuki had a rage break indeed however. Before stabbing the beast, it's eyes would flash back open the regeneration was impressive however it was indeed activated by the brain and it had it's limits. The limit of course being three deaths in such a successive tandem. The voice that taunted Roland suddenly appeared behind him and soon with another kick the ninja was thrown off to the side of the arena where he would crunch off the side of a jagged rock wall, crunches were heard as several ribs shattered and the man coughed up a gout of blood before snapping his head back up. Roland's Zanpakuto would be missing now, the blade having flown off from the tremendous hit he received. The fixed eyes upon the beast promised death, but before that could continue the beast was suddenly in front of him again and drove forth another kick into Roland's spleen. It appeared as if there were twins in this battle.

Aoimara rushed forward in a blaze of light, her golden form seemingly winking across the battle field as she then slashed down cleaving the guards head from his body with a Hiyaah! In doing so she unwittingly dodged the attack, infuriating the beast which launched it. She then moved onto the next before the remaining nine could mobilize and exploded it's head in a burst of light accompanied no doubt by a giggle. Of course the eight remaining guards would then rush her with their pole arms and swords drawn. They would circle her and attack in two waves, the first four attacking her simultaneously from each cardinal direction.
As the four rushed in a beast which was over fourteen feet tall and as slender as a willow would approach with hate filled eyes. "Gold female, do not run again or this will be much more painful for you" as soon as he finished speaking he would raise both arms, and his fingers would shoot forward growing like vines from his hands in the hopes of strangling her. All ten fingers would go for her throat as the guards attacked her.

"Kehehe, just a worthless peon in-" the corpse fell to the ground and Roland rose, the arena was now covered in purple and all those around him on his side would feel a vitality as he enforced and strengthened the souls of his companions. In Roland's hand was a single soul, it was odd since anyone without spiritual sight would see nothing at all. Still it was the death of the beast, and Roland split the soul into a thousand fragments dragging them away from each other and preventing access back into their body. Roland's body was now glowing purple and as the soul fragmented he would clasp his hand together and collapse. The purple hue would remain however and now the fight was a completely different thing, Flaming Spirit would take it's price from his enemies. Even though Roland was inches away from unconsciousness, holding onto the technique consumed all his thinking as his breathing became more ragged. One of his lungs was punctured for sure and blood was slowly seeping in.

As the tentacled beast approached the Kage Dusk would swing his blade down and cleave one of the tentacles, of course two others would spiral up the blade and hilt and continue onto Dusk, who no doubt would wish to drop the sword before they reached him.

Unfortunately for Dusk, Kikato had twirled into a mindless assault and he cut them both with his now reinforced bones. Dusk suffered a two inch deep slash on his left bicep, causing the arm to be near useless in attacking or pushing unless he wanted to open the wound even more.

Venus would be face to face with the black slimey creature who in reaction to her words smiled, it was a wide smile that continued to grow until it was as if it was more than half of it's featureless face. "Use those on me, please" it would boom as it would just charge rolling and leaving a trail of slime behind it's shambling mass of seemingly tar. If it reached her before she moved it would envelop her in it's own body and attempt to suffocate her and her connection to chakra.

The beast that had been attacking Kaigen allowed the man to take his arm, one limb meant nothing to the beast instead it used the other to attempt to grab Kaigen during his attack and if he did thousands of leaches would pour out covering Kaigen in the critters. Dusk would then at this time launch his attack into one of the beast's back, the first connection caused the beast to forget about Kaigen and the subsequent burning only increased. It's screams reached a crescendo as it burst into millions of leaches which latched themselves both onto Dusk and Kaigen even if the latter had rolled backwards.

Brink after getting his rage out on the corpse would be free in time to watch as the many holes in the tentacle beast regrew and the thing constricted it's grip on Kikato who would now begin to feel weaker, even with the glowing energy surrounding him and sapping the beast. Even as Kikato continued to twirl and stab the beast fought back with it's regenerative powers for a bit as it's black caustic blood splashed over Kikato.

((Bout to post up a nice map for everyone, Venus PM me three numbers 1-10 and I will reply with your choice of three fruits. Everyone else PM me the abilities or what you would wish if you want me to make them.))

Gonna be posting on Saturday, make sure to get your posts in. We are reaching the home stretch for this first one.

Kuro stood back, watching the proceedings with an emotionless face, as the monsters began to attack his allies. He had little to no reason to interfere. If they were strong, they would grasp victory no matter the odds, right? That was the truth, to him. It was what he had done, after all. There was no reason to save those who could not save themselves! He had learned that the hard way, being kidnapped and abused for years, only surviving because of his OWN power. He could trust no one, could he? After all, trusting others had led to him becoming the thing he was now. Not human, not even close. What human could survive decapitation? Not only that, but use said decapitated head to Recite Shakespearean Quotations? Not that it mattered whether or not he could biologically be considered human. After all, his personality was far from it. He could watch people get slaughtered in front of him and not bat an eye. What normal being could do that? Hell, he could be the one to slaughter the innocent people and still not bat an eye.

Even so... Kaigen was his brother. As he watched the fish beast try to grab Kaigen, Kuro revoked his decision to not interfere, instantly shooting a string out to wrap around Kaigen's chest, pulling him back right before the creature would have been able to grab him, letting go of Kaigen once he was three meters from the creature, hoping he could handle it from here. Kuro did not want to get too involved, this was not his fight. Each of them had a test, and his had yet to appear. Even helping Kaigen was dishonorable, but Kuro could not bring himself to regret it. He was his brother, even if he did not remember...

Kuro huffed, before taking a seat on the ground. It was not his place to help others. His childhood dream may have been to become a superhero and save everyone, but this was the real...ish world. He wasnt one to point out it was a one dimensional plane of information placed upon a two dimensional viewing area, but no one needed to know that either. In any case, while he once wanted to save everyone, he now knew better. People had to die, and that was life. Death was just another part of life, so why should he devote everything to preventing it? Even if his own death was almost impossible, even if he would survive hundreds of years after anyone he loved, why should he save them? Maybe... just maybe because those precious few moments with the ones he loved would end up being worth more to him than any of the years of life afterwards...

Kuro closed his eyes, before standing abruptly, having barely been sitting down two seconds. In an act of both compassion and overprotectiveness, Kuro flung out both his hands, flinging out ten strings, twirling his hand so eight of his strings attempted to turn the Leechspitter into mulch, each string attempting eight cuts, all in different places, while the other two attempted to pull Kaigen and Dusk away from the monster, right before it would split into leeches. Kuro had to admit, that was slightly disgusting. Coming from the guy who often tore off his own head for amusement, that was quite a statement.

Incision...Hurt...Coppery feeling dripping from his body, yep he was definitely bleeding and the cause was definitely in front of him. As he looked or rather glanced down towards his body which was definitely defiled by someone's blade, his own had and twisted the blade in which the hentai styled monster had been so grabby handed for causing it to spin into the air ten meters above them. Because of this Dusk's arm would have been out of reach of the monster and his blade floating in the air. Of course every ninja knew not to jump into the air unless they could fly so in place of this he had devised a simple plan. Backstepping during this time since it appeared that the male he was trying to save could fend for himself, he threw two kunai at his blade, his timing being perfect and calculated to the T.

The first kunai which was aimed for the fifth rotation of the blade, would with immense strength, hit the hilt in which it would lurch forward two meters, though causing the kunai itself to fly off in some random ass way, would still allow his plan to further. As the blade which would be coming towards him, the second kunai would fly this time aiming to slow the blade down which with his calculations did just that. Now he had a blade coming straight down at him though from his current position it was aiming towards his not fucked up arm. With that he would tap the bottom of the sheath in which the blade belonged to, causing it to align up with the blade and thus sheathing itself before falling into his hand. During this time his body would slowly begin to heal, normally a charge of chakra would surge through his body amplifying and speeding up the healing process, but since he was in a place where he could not do that....well cauterizing and the healing factor he had been doing pretty well.

With his blade back he made haste towards his future position, helping the man named Kaigen partially escape though a certain magical index (no!) what he meant was a certain blue haired male had pulled him away from the monster before he had went grabby hands. Of course this left Dusk open with his attack, though unknown to him the male would have also saved him from a rather disturbing end. With that he would smile and nod to his slightly silent savior, no words to be said since he was focusing on keeping his arm on his body, though the fire had been helping wonders.

The others had definitely needed help, but with his body still healing and no way to know what weakness would play on which enemy he would place his trust in the ones that had been fighting their battles to come up with a way to win. He somehow wished his chakra would have been working in which case he could have easily healed himself without resorting to his specific powers, though the feeling of his flesh burning and sinews being put back together was both odd and sexually gratifying though in this case he would hide the urge to get a boner because of this mostly due to not wanting to freak people out.

Brink would be in a position that honestly he would not truly be in a position to help anyone however, there was a feeling swelling within him that he had to expose otherwise he would perhaps do something that would rather endanger everyone instead of actually helping the task at hand, therefore, he would let this feeling control him as he hand would rise in a motion that many would consider that of if he was playing some type of game known as basketball to some with this motion his three inner fingers would be pointed at the beast that was now receiving an assault from his kage and with careful timing his fingers would being to start to tremor at a great speed of that equal to his locomotive speed and after a moment of aiming he would let out a deep breath and with it would seemingly be a tremor bullet? That was shot at a speed of A rank and have an impact of A rank damage as well aimed for the middle of the forehead of the creature attack that of which he dare call his friend?

Therefore, as he would watch the bullet travel toward his target he would hope that the man’s rage would subside in time that he would not accidently get within the path of the bullet and get himself any more injured than he already was…. So with that Brink would now slowly lower himself from his blade kicking it back into its hilt as it would spin and go in rather smoothly for the calculation of the kick and the positioning of his hilt would have been nearly perfect, therefore, as it would slowly land within after he would hear the click he would take the blade from his side and would now have it sheathed laying in his hands just in case something or someone would have caused him to need it and he would watch as the battle would continue for his would have been over seemingly passing the test that was given to him and hoping that the many ninja that would have been accompanying him and the others would also pass theirs however, it seems he would for at least this moment have gotten off with the least amount of damage from those who were attacked to begin with and he would intend to stay that way for the time that he could for preparation for possibly an even more grand battle to come…

Kaigen's body went hopping into a style of pure hops. Trying to keep his body in movement to help him anticipate his opponents movements, depending on solely Taijutsu was something he'd have to try in the future. The man with the lost memory decided to plot out another attack or a counter attack would be more accurate. His Orange eyes were to locked on his opponent to notice the blue haired fellow plotting to save him from his issues, for what reason of course Kaigen couldn't know. Personally he thought the guy was pretty strange, but what could Kaigen say for he himself was always trying to find parts of himself that he somehow lost? Perhaps he shouldn't be jealous that the next man was safe within ones self? In a split moment he decided maybe the guy in the blue was actually a better man than himself, but before he could get to all the extra of course a nasty beast had to make an attempt to have their way with him. Kaigen and the beast were close quarters range for another round of attacks, but instead of Kaigen being able to plot he had a very strange interference.



Big Br- no no no the strange man with blue hair that kind of looks mean took the time out of his life to help out defenseless Kaigen who should probably know to buy a weapon or two by now."Alright lets go you b-HUUGH" that was what came out, during his speech and without him even paying attention strings strapped around his chest and gave a hard yank, lifting him just a couple centimeters in the air but successfully dodging his opponent's attack giving him distance and space.


Kaigen's landing was light and with that he quickly turned his head over to the source of the strings that somehow was sprouted, by the blue haired male he was just thinking about. Now this was awkward because he was hoping the guy couldn't read minds, but his face was confused, very confused but even with that confusion he gave a nod of thanks. Respecting his help none the less, quickly getting back to his death match as he went for another preparation for his opponent - he understood one on one fights were about honor. Kaigen blinked as this time he could hear the strings a bit more fluently as they went to completely and utterly destroy the creature in front of him and before the final impact Kaigen was once again met with the strings.


They gave him another pull but this time it pulled him about four meters in front of the blue haired guy. His orange eyes focused on his savior as they were now within talking and breathing range of each other, scanning him for mysterious intent he found none, which was even more strange he helped him for no reason at all. Or was the reason one of the best reasons a brother could ever understand, even if he didn't remember it his brother was indeed still there - Even in another galaxy they stood together just like their parents always hoped.

Kikato was getting into a worse and worse situation, and he did not realize it, his body would get weaker, and so he would just give up and accept his fate, his bones receded and his spear like nails returned, and he would just slump over and waited for what would happen to happen, he had grown tired of fighting anyways, and ever since he entered this world it had been nothing but fights for him, he would close his eyes and allow the pain to drift him away, the actions of the others no longer concerned him, he did wish them all the best though
