Logan had not fear of the girl. In fact, Logan could feel a sort of begrudging respect; the Yuudeshi wasn't taking anyone's meddling help, just like she would have. A girl that can walk to war is old enough to make their own choices; and that's what the young one was doing. Making her own choice to participate in this war, in this fight. Making the concious choice of killing people, of having blood and lifes stolen by her hands. And Logan had a feeling that Nathan could sense that; that's why he decided to handle the girl all by himself. The Leader knew she was trying to combatants to her; after all, she was a Milestone to the enemies. Defeat the defending forces. The woman took in a breath, even as she watched, but then something interesting happened.
Did he really just? ''Hahahahahahahaha.. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA'' the laughter of the woman, manic, rang out. Nathan would know that sound, as it was the sound when someone tried to explode something at Logan; at Logan, the woman of explosions. The dust cleared and it was apparent; the blast did bum fuck all to her. Or it just seemed that way; Logan had managed to Shunpo away and back within few moments. After all, she of all people knew how explosions, no matter what type, worked; and her lovely Phantom tech had giving her exits and re-entries. The result? Logan looked untouched, having used the dust as a cover to return to her former position, as if nothing happened. But that's when she had laughed, her face split into a well known grin; the grin all of her squad knew that she broke out when it became obvious she had something up her sleeve.. or nettling her.
''MAN JUST HOW THICK CAN YOU GET UH? JUST HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE? HONOUR? SMASHED. BY YOUR OWN HAND. OH GOD THIS IS TOO MUCH.'' her voice shouted out to the male, as if she was truly insane for a moment. And then slowly, her breath eased in, as she tilted her head, the smile now calmer on her lips; like that little moment had never happened. The girl let out a giggle, as she still did not draw a single weapon. Not a one, but she knew the time would be near when she would have to start using her weapons, if he continued to interfere. She knew that Nathan could take care of himself, remembering the soft words that the boy had spoken to her. Indeed, Nathan would make sure, as her confidence meshed well with his fading meekness. Nathan had her full trust; and she dodged the attack because he was busy, but else wise, she knew the Washi would have taken it for her, no matter how much she might have wished for him not to.
''What scared?'' she called out to the male, taunting him. He had sent an attack without much of a warning; and one intended to make fun of her as well. ''Don't worry, I know a lot better; you had a chance to talk to me. I didn't intend to fight if you could notice from the very fact I haven't struck back once to the amount of attacks that was shoved in my direction. '' she told him, assuring him. Hell if he was scared enough to try and take her out, despite her not having raised her hand ONCE to fight the entire time, more so then the little child over there, then just how much did she have? ''Do you even know your own concepts? Your own morals? You're betraying them; I haven't raised my blade once. I am an innocent, and yet you attacked me. So much for protecting those in need of protecting. However.. I am ready to begin protecting our home from the likes of the invaders, that wish to begin war on us. We were well enough alone, until Shadin Yuudeshi decided to sound war from every bell tower.'' she said, her voice strong, but not pressuring. If he listened to her fine; if he wished to try to attack her again? Fine. Nothing would interrupt this speech of hers.
''This whole time? Our forces is holding off the invaders trying to take the people from the homes. If some want to go then fine. But those that want to stay are killed, called rebels, enemies. The corpses of women, children and elderly are littering the streets; and yet you protect the cause of this tragedy? Stefan.. he was better then that. The man that I left someone that had been by my side all this time for was better then that! So don't even insult his Legacy; because you're besmirching it right now. Yes, you heard me; besmirching it.'' she said, her voice just as strong. His own were still ringing in her ears, and yet, not a single derisive smirk on her face. Instead, there was a dead cold seriousness that belong to the Tempest; the one within the Monsuta of the name of storms, Tempest Gale was not one to be messed with. As this was clearly the prelude to a storm of some such.
''She didn't listen to you; she called you an idiot for trying, and yet there you are, trying to make peace with her, the one that's causing death, destruction and chaos on our homes? Look around you! They're attacking anyone that's putting up a resistance, they're destroying homes we worked hard to build, daily lives that were fine, pure, now destroyed with the capacity of war. How many orphans by your hand now? How many crying for their families? Enough that only me and Nathan are willing to fight; I sent everyone else to take care of the people, trap the places to defend them. Are you justifying the invaders? Are you justifying that Stefan's ideals are evil, by endorsing the one that is searching to smash the homes he built for us all?'' she continued, but she only took a quick breath, rapid firing more questions towards the male.
''Are you daft? Are you stupid? Are you honestly convinced that those are you only way? Are you truly trying to justify harming the innocents for a single child? Or are you just blinded by the fact this is a child making decisions of war?'' she let out. Her voice was a bit aggressive, but it wasn't overbearing. It was purely telling him the feelings of those whom's fates she carried on her shoulder; the masses of children he was harming by condoning one girl's actions. How foolish; if he wanted to protect people, protect the masses of many that didn't have the strength, instead of protecting one stupid child. ''I was a child when my life was wrenched away from me; and none showed pity. Therefore, if she is fully aware of what she is jumping into, it is her decision. We can't protect her, or change her mind in this state can we? No? Then stop trying! Nobody saved me back then, not that I wanted to be saved, and neither does she! So instead of insulting her decisions, how about you try listening to what people are saying, instead of assuming what they are saying?'' she added on, her anger showing slightly now.
The woman took a breath, as she knew if she didn't calm down, she would begin to release some of her abilities; she still not fought once yet, the taunts of the Yuudeshi girl useless. This girl had no understanding of family; she sought to run away from it, to become independent from it all of her life. Logan could understand that; she tried to cast her own past aside in order to keep going. But it would always haunt you, like it had done to the Vizard, and now she understood so much better. There would be nothing left for the woman not to do after all.. as her voice became louder, calmer, but still passionate. ''We are the Monsuta; this is our home. Is it not right to defend it, from someone that refused to talk to us peacefully? Or are we just to lay over and die because we can't talk a single little girl out of trying to kill hundreds of people just because she wanted to fight? So we're just to let some child kill more and more of our men, of our families, just because it's a child?''
But Logan wasn't done, as another breath let out even more words. ''That's how killers are born, so you're more or less fostering more and more deaths. All the orphans, whom's parents you let die by trying to protect the invaders, will be enraged. They will kill, get stronger; and in turn cause more pain elsewhere. That's what you are doing, mister Tank. You are just causing more and more misery. I hope you're very proud of yourself; trying to make peace with someone that would rather kill you then reason with you, and then attack someone that tried to reason with you in order to help prevent deaths. How does that deal with your morals? I would've wanted to talk to you, but I guess you're closing that door uh?'' she finished, her face making a disgusted expression. Hypocrite. That's what Logan thought very much rightly too; after all this man was clearly going against this words.
''Did I ask you to fight? Did I ask you to take on the task I myself was prepared to do? No! Then why are you interfering, within this fight hm? Why are you implicating yourself, without knowing all of the reasons, without asking, without even getting things right! I will fight if you don't get out of my sight; and if you still refuse then I will kill her in front of you, rather then ending her misery and restraining her further damages. I will show no mercy to men that wish to betray us.'' she said, her voice clear now, the exact nature of what she had decided clear. Yes, she had told Nathan she would kill the girl, but Logan was not going to kill her body; but rather her will to fight them. And yet.. this male was intending to make this much more complicated then it needed to be. Logan let out a soft sigh to herself.
She didn't feel like addressing the Yuudeshi herself, as she was aware Nathan would more then take care of that for now. Her first concern was perhaps the biggest threat on the field, the one that was being chaotic and betraying not only the ideals, but the ones that Logan had seen Stefan wish for. Indeed, a traitor was not going to escape easily, if he choose to fully betray them. Her one visible eye narrowed, knowing that thought that hid deep inside of her psyche. She had no problems killing issues that decided to make themselves more and more known as something dangerous, and impeding their capabilities to defend their very homes. That was something that the former terrorist would not agree with. She had grown rather fond of her home here, despite having escaped.
She had ignored the jibes he sent towards her of such things, and instead was focusing on the true aims of her goal. To defend the city. If she had to, she would end up using the weapons that she has picked up from K-world, although she didn't like that idea. She wanted to win this fight on their own terms, but her men began to set up a barrier, slowly cutting off outside contact.. although it was slow, and it would take time. But she wasn't going to let some little girl, and the wanna be white knight ruin the homes of the people she swore to stand by. That was a giant nono, and the woman felt something akin to hatred in her veins.
But she was still smarter then that, and who knew exactly what she had planned?

There was something inside of the child's blood that was beginning to boil over. Letting out a horrid yell at the release of Hagokumo's Banaki, something inside of Shatari was beginning to snap her psyche and mend it into something solid. Breathing in and out as if something had struck her heart, she could feel herself changing, she could sense herself morphing and something inside of the Yuudeshi had awakened. 'You aren't going to win this battle by sheer rage and fear, Young Girl. You've seen the results of brute force attacks in the past, it will get you no more but in a fine grave.' No longer was this voice that kept ranging inside of Shatari's head unknown in nature, but in fact, this presence felt similar to The Yuudeshi's own spiritual wavelength with a more masculine tone in it's voice. It caused a reaction of utter shock in The Girl's eyes as she hadn't a clue what she had just contracted with this living force that dwelled inside of The Yuudeshi's blood.
'What the hell are you anyway!? What do you know!? I know I'm acting like a fool, consciously I get that, but I'm not gonna lose the first battle in this war like this! I can't, I won't and I'd rather die than face such a shameful retreat. I'm so fucking angry I can't even think straight.' Conversing with this voice during the duration of time after Hagokumo's Bankai and Nathan's chatter with Logan, Shatari had all the time in the world with her delayed state of mind deaccelerating her perception of the events as she conversed with this mysterious entity inside of her mind. For at this point, the world was nothing more than a blackened blur and all that mattered was what was going to occur next.
'What am I...? A manifestation of your blood would be a rather simple explanation for that. You Yuudeshi's are a vicious bunch and I was awakened due to your call to power that you so desired with that fury of yours, woman. My conscious and existence was founded by the many generations of Yuudeshi prior to your being, maintaining the wealth of knowledge and memory of combat they have bestowed in you. So I thank you for birthing me on this day, and giving rebirth to yourself in the process. You've made a pact in a blood, a pact that cannot be taken back. I hope you and all your limited knowledge are able to comprehend just the path you've decided to taken. Some call this Yuudeshi Drive a blessing, while others call it a curse. It can taint the soul to turn it into an abysmal monster, or can change them for the better and take them to a level willpower beyond their wildest imagination. If you are as strong willed as you say you are, then you should have no problems taming that which is yourself and finding the blessings in this gift. Otherwise....you know enough about the curse of this clan to understand what happens if you fail to properly use these powers, right?'
Now awaiting the decision from Shatari, this ominous voice posed a very trying question to assure that the girl understood exactly what it meant to unlock The Yuudeshi Drive. It's not one that should be taken lighten, nor is it one that should be so callously tossed to the side. So to see if she knows the true meaning of this, it all rest on Shatari's shoulder on how responds to this wealth of knowledge.
And for her...it was quite the mass of information to take in for a mere thirteen year old girl. However, a chuckle could be heard escaping from the lips of Shatari. It was if the waves of anger that once resonated within her soul were quelled and the real Shatari was able to begin speaking one on one with the beast the laid dormant in her blood. Through all of these speeches, all of the warnings and all the potential that awaited her: all that she really cared about was giving this match her all. It's all that ever really mattered to the young girl. The thrill of each battle, the excitement of viewing this new lands and the sheer amusement which was had in exceeding your limits and awakening to the challenge at hand. In this instance, Shatari had taken on more than she had bargained for, but the rational side of her mind knew: that for how difficult each battle was, the rewards from it were that much greater. Even if she returned in pieces, that beat down would still make her stronger so long as she just lives. So there was no time to get upset, nor was it the time to be angry or fearful; IT WAS TIME TO TAKE IT HEAD FIRST!
'Tch, do you even have to ask a question like that to me? Yeah, I got fucking mad, yeah I got pretty overwhelmed. But even with all of this, do you really think I am going to stop here now? I may not know a whole lot about the world or how things work, but that doesn't mean I can't learn along the way. I may not be strong now, but with time that can always change as I grow. I may not be in the position I want to be in life, but dammit, I'll maul my way to that place with this blood of mine and my strength. Maybe I went about it the wrong way by relying too much on my weapons, so I'm going lend my faith to my heritage as it's the one thing that has guided me the most in my life. I'll have faith that I can weather the storm and that we'll be able to do this. Curse or no curse, I've gotta do it make sure my own goals are accomplished, show this asshole I'm just a two bit brat and lead my men out of this alive. I lost track of what was important, but....that doesn't mean I can't steer myself back on curse! So show me the way and help me get to the plateau of strength, courage and power I want to be at...NO MATTER THE COST!'
With those bold statements declared to the likes of this unknown spirit which shared her blood, Shatari was confident in her decision, assured in her place and knew that the only way to overcome this would be to rely on her innermost self to guide her through the twists, turns and dives that this war seemed to give her non-stop. It honestly made the likes of this beast chuckle with the utmost of amusement; as the history of The Yuudeshi was always a violent one and they seemed to start such a young age. It seemed that this girl whom he stood before would be no different and understood, to an extent, just exactly the path she'd be in for. So with no further doubts in mind, he'd go on to have these words:
'So you under the contract between us is eternal, I assume? Very well then....it's a pleasure to become your partner, Miss Shatari Yuudeshi. I, Hebinoishin, will gladly unlock the gears within your mind, unlock the potential which is your drive and take you to these heights you so desperately wish to see. Prepare yourself, young girl....the ride has only just begun.'
And with that speech given, Shatari's vision suddenly flashed back to the likes of Nathan suddenly releasing a volley of explosions around her as she was taken back by the sudden shift in the perception of time. She was taken back by the sudden destruction of the ground around her, but something in her blood wasn't too concerned with it; as the larger picture was much more important: it was the fact she COULD. If he were getting this upset and angry with such an answer, it's obvious there was a sensitive nerve spot touched and that if she were to do such a thing it would cause problems for him. So baring these thoughts in mind, she'd make a mental note of this for later as she started to snap back into reality.
Voice sounding much different than before, lacking the hostility, she'd take note of the first speech Nathan made while still maintaining her speed during their chase as he attempted to grab her by the wrist while racing towards The Yuudeshi's vicinity: "Perhaps I haven't experienced as much death as some you older folks on this battlefield, but that doesn't mean I'm oblivious to it's effects or haven't seen a few dead bodies, decimated soldiers all throughout and towns and people torn to sunder by battles such as this. You have no idea what you are talking about if you haven't seen the outlands of the secured cities like I did in my adventures. I learned first hand how hard things are outside of our protected domes after I met the likes of a certain red-haired survival-nut." Having a brief flashback of the village which was obliterated by some freak supernatural event, she'd recall her run-in with the likes of Risaimin Seibutsu and wanting to help that soul get her life back on track after her entire town was wiped out. Recalling the body count her and The Vanguard performed in that city was enough even now to send shivers down her spine and fight that much harder to ensure the same doesn't occur in Australia with these assholes in control.
"So the only thing I'm blindly running towards is strength. It may not be the strength you'll respect, but it'll be the strength that makes sure my goals reached, the strength to achieve a great things in this world and the strength to make a change in this whole war. I want to be brave, I want to be strong and I want to make an impact on things. Obviously I'm not gonna achieve these simplistic, but overall difficult feats if I'm just sitting on the sidelines scared out of my wits like so many others who take shelter in these cities. I want to fight, I want to put an end to this and I want to crush those who have made Earth so drastically altered from the olden days I hear so much about it. Even if you crush me here, I'll just get right back up and come back for more until I succeed in this, Nathan Washi."
Staying firm in her stance, there wasn't an ounce of anger, fear or doubt like in all of her words spoken up until this point. There was only pure intent as even Nathan could feel the blood, energy and will of the girl beginning to morph into something else. It's this determination, this strive for power which started to push her body to it's limits as she used her infamous speed in order to maneuver herself away from Nathan before he could have a chance to grab her; narrowly evading the heavy kick he made, but getting caught up in the pressure from just barely dodging it as she felt cuts appear across her body and face from it. It made her wince in pain, but it was a small price to pay to slip out of his grasp.
(CHANGE SONG HERE)
And then...the strangest thing occured. Out of all reactions to be had from the girl, a smile etched itself across The Yuudeshi's lips when he asked who was behind her back. Her...alone? It was unfathomable to imagine. It was almost an idiotic statement to be had when Shatari heard those words exit out of her opponents mouth. It caused her to laugh a bit as she couldn't comprehend that. Perhaps she was a single soul fighting against the colossal force that Nathan Washi posed with his fearsome abilities, but as a whole? In this war, in this life? No, Shatari was far from alone.
"The way you talk should piss me off, but you are making yourself look out to be a bigger fool than I am if you sincerely believe those words which you speak. I may stand before you by myself, but in my heart and mind I know there are others willing to fight alongside me and come towards the pits of hell." Glancing to the direction of the city where Shisome was fighting, a relaxed expression was seen transitioning into the girl's face. Why? It's not too hard to decipher: Shisome was one of her most cherished friends and to have her here fighting alongside The Yuudeshi, even if she were in far away range, produced a rather calming effect for Shatari to be had as she reflected upon this; Hebinoishin even made notes that her blood pressure, stress level and heart rate slowed while acknowledging these thoughts.
Honestly, for as long as Shatari could remember, Shisome has really been by her side since the first day she had entered Karakura Highschool. There really hadn't been a single negative memory in The Banshee's brain where The Doll Girl ever betrayed her trust, mistreated her feelings or did not provide a solid companionship to be had. So thinking all of the times shared together in her mind made Shatari at ease in the midst of the storm; causing her energy to skyrocket as The Yuudeshi became more levelheaded. "One of my best friends of all time is here fighting alongside me. I can feel her heart beat, I can feel her aura; that's one soul which proves the foundations of your words have no weight on me, Vizard."
Taking a glance in another direction, she'd finally sense the presence of Cero Telsa beginning to fire up as he was posed against many adversaries in his city who were fighting on a level even beyond that of the nightmarish level Shatari's own opponents radiated with her own complications to face with this battle for Geelong. In the memories of this fellow student, she'd remember him being a strong pillar of strength for her to lean on as she fondly remembered the tag team battle in which they took apart of when the likes of The Lich King assaulted Karakura Highschool. Ever since that day they met, he was always a worthwhile friend who seemed to try his best against the impossible odds he faced in his recent battles, a person who never tell you any sort of lie and loyal to the very bitter end. To sense him here, in this war, gave Shatari hope that she could accomplish the same amazing feats she had seen him showcase and rise up to her own demon's that stared her down in this war.
"To the north I can sense Cero's might, one of my greatest allies to have outside of Shisome. He is giving it everything he has got against the insane bastards who wish to plunge this world into chaos. If he can have the strength, courage and valor to face against those improbable odds he's posed with in every battle he has fought in the past year, then I have the potential to do the same for this wall that stands before me. As all it is another mountain to climb, so that when I reach the top, everything I've worked for until that point will pay off when my dreams, my ambitions and my will materialize into something beautiful."
Now starring Nathan dead in the eye, she had a reddened aura begin to take form around her body as she scowled. "I can feel my entire class fighting alongside me in this battle for this country. I'm the furthest thing from alone. My friends, my family and the blood within me will all guide me towards that which I seek. I have my comrades in the Vanguard, my kinsmen from the Yuudeshi and all those who are allies stand by my side." In that moment, a strange shift in the middle began to occur, as these words were echoed throughout the battlefield the men which were starting to be pushed back into the city could feel Shatari's aura. They were screaming, they were shouting and they were finally beginning to wipe out and make some ground in the Monsuta's forces as they felt Shatari's resolve, they felt the meaning behind her words and worked that much harder to ensure this city would still be standing as many projectile attacks started hammering down on various Monsuta bases in the city from aerial assaults, implosions occurring underground to suck in the buildings into void spaces from the Yuudeshi Network and some doing it the old fashion way and using good ol' manpower to storm the city.
"We won't give up, I won't give up until this is settled. You think MY worth is solely vested in the weapons I wield? GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK! Their nothing more than tools to be used to increase my odds of breaking through this wall before me. To break my worth, to destroy what I am... " Grabbing her chest, a great flaring energy illuminated around The Yuudeshi's body; having white exhaust from the edges of it's flares to show her aura becoming more unruly. "...you'll have to cut out my heart and destroy it yourself to ever achieve such a feat. My value is had in my heart, as it understand the intent of ambitions better than anyone else, it knows the work I've put in to achieve this power and it is all too aware of the bond which I share with everyone who decides to call themselves my friend, my ally and my family. You couldn't understand what I stand for because you want to defeat me, and there is nothing wrong with that, so I'll stand tall against the venom you spew against me and make sure to take that lofty crap you spout about me not understanding a damn thing and shove it in your face as I crush those misinterpretations of my will as you fight against me in round two. That oughta loosen your lips a little, eh Vizard?"
As the blood streamed down Shatari's face from Nathan's earlier assault, she closed her eyes as the push....that oh-so-mighty push had arrived. The ground rumbled, the Earth quaked and the skies them burst to life with electricity as a single bolt of crimson red lightning struck down above Shatari's body around the same time Nathan's explosions went off. It scattered into a wall of defense to prevent The Fiery Monsuta operative from grabbing on to The Yuudeshi as she began her transformation under the blinding light of her opponents fury. Letting out an ungodly scream, Shatari could feel every tendon tightening, every fiber of her being becoming stronger and the depth of energy that rested within her soul was being brought to the surface. Her skin hardened, her muscles became dense and she seemed to become slightly...older in appearance as her body accelerated ever so slightly in growth.
Formerly standing at four foot eleven, The Banshee of Karakura now stood at five foot two as she chuckled with a slightly altered voice that seemed a bit more deeper in tone than before as her body began to further transform in the wake of this new...power. Mouth beginning to twist and churn, one of the first notable things in her facial appearance that would be altered is that the canines in her teeth would sharpen and extend to the point of being mistaken for actual fangs. Which means that in suit, a similar effect occurred in her nails are they morphed, hardened and increased in width to being mistaken for claws. From there, the transition had became more furious intensity, as a rapid burst of red and white aura extended from her new found energy. If anyone could see through the smoke, they'd have no issues now as her aura had been producing a vibrating effect from her body. In fact, the cutting edge of this force will be so strong that many types of obstacles around her can be reduced to shreds due to the slashing-based effects they appeared to have.
And while still consumed with this destructive light, Shatari's own attire began to change. Anything she was previously wearing had melted away and dissolved; being replaced with a outfit which could only be described as Gothic Lolita in fashion. Sporting slade shaded combat boots that extended upwards to her calf, they then broke off at that point and a visible pair of black and grey hued striped socks extended into her dress. This garment seemed to be onyx and white colors; as a floral silver came across it's edges, while the jet black stood out above it and eventually turned into a mixture of white and black as you went to her waistline; eventually turning into a black colored vest with a white long-sleeve shirt and neatly tucked collar. As the final piece de resistance, a reddened collar warped itself around Shatari's now pale-colored skin and morphed itself into a scarlet bow; even turning the once blue and purple head beads that wrapped around her hair red as this force seemed to turn The Yuudeshi's entire outward appearance into a more sinister look.
Holding out each of her arms as the blinding light began to settle and the explosions died down around them, , two large plates of armor with the durability of a Zanpukto had emerged on to each of the tops of Shatari's hands; extending upwards to her lower arm. Feeding off the force of her now awakened states, these slates of armor came to life as spikes formed out of their base; while two snake heads had came to the front portion of the equipment; radiating a blazing scarlet red light from out of their eyes as the inner beast within The Banshee of Karakura began to awaken for all to see.
Taking a look to her side to see the red-haired traitor by her side, she'd let steam exit her mouth in the form of a sigh before saying these words to him: "If you believe in my resolve, then I don't care if you choose to fight alongside me. You seem set in your ways, whoever the hell you are, so I'll take you into the pits of hell if you think you can deal with it. I really don't care much else about your ramblings, just shut up or put up. My only desire now is to see how far this strength can go, keep the memory of my allies in line and make sure my men's sacrifice weren't in vane. I hadn't thought about the long-term consequences of entering into such a war, but I'm beginning to become all aware I can't be treated like a little girl here. This is the real deal, and it's time to grow up and start acting like a person who does strength. And how I acted before....was just like nothing more than a ravenous, blood-thirsty and blinded animal."
Curling her left hand into a fist as she began to let this form settle in, she knew that the person she was before was nothing more than dust in the wind. To proceed forward, she'd have to remove those childish traits in her persona and harden up to the challenges that awaited her in this new age. It was a new day for The Beast of Karakura, certainly. So as she took a striking gaze at Nathan, she knew this next round wasn't going to be a picnic.
"You aren't the only one here who has awakened to the truth of things. You may be a lot of things to the moment, but that's one of the few things that ring true. As much as I hate to admit it, I did come in here with such short-focus on my actions, the people around me and the power I did have. But now, through this battle, through this strife; I want to ascend from the ashes as something much more than I was before. I want to make my allies feel I'm a worthwhile comrade, I want to be a symbol of strength to those who follow behind me and I want to make my family proud of the fellow kinsmen they have on their side. As I kick, scream and claw my way towards making a name for myself, amassing more power under my belt and cleaning up this world; there are going to be many things that need to change in myself if I ever want them to come out and you've helped me to see that much, at least....my first bitter taste of reality."
Holding her fist to her head, Shatari would tighten her eyes before easing her facial expression. Something inside of her was new boiling hot and The Yuudeshi Drive was quite alot for the girl to take in. Yet, she'd hold her ground as she simply uttered this out: "Hebinoishin....let's do this...you said we have the strength of will...LET US MAKE THEM FEEL IT!" Screaming with the utmost intensity near the end, the hair on Shatari's neck stood on end as she could feel a surge of pain scorch her body; but these were not shouts of pain. They were those of utter ambition, desire and will ready to focus. So as sparks of electricity scattered throughout the vicinity; blowing everything to sunder, if there were any Monsuta reinforcements around Shatari, they would all be but knocked out from the sheer aura that Shatari's Yuudeshi Drive seemed to give her; making those with weaker willpower all but pass out indefinitely for the duration of the thread.
"I'll show you the power of the will which boils through my veins. This blood of mine...I have generations of Yuudeshi who stand behind me, so with this drive of mine....SHOW THEM THE STRENGTH OF A YUUDESHI WHO HAS TAKEN THEIR DRIVE TO TAKE THE POWER OF SHEER DESIRE!" Fangs bearing out for the world as she numbed the pain that scored her bed, those eyes of hers radiated a flaring red color as she had sparks of bioelectricity release from her body to form into a layer of defense.
"SHOW THEM THE POWER OF THE BEAST! ACTIVATE THE YUUDESHI DRIVE"
(Change songs here)
With that said, whirring sounds soon cried out throughout the entire vicinity as The Banshee of Karakura started to become awakened to her power. Tightening her eyes in the wake of all of this critical strain on the girls shoulder, The Yuudeshi felt the souls of her soldiers that were lost on a grand scale, the sensation of the city being torn to sunder, the lives of both the civilians and her enemies being slain and the power of her clan that screamed in agonizing pain as it attempted to rise to the surface of Shatari's soul in response to these conditions. It resulted in a multitude of spikes emerging out of her back, arms, legs, chest, neck and all of her vital spots to better defend her against any possible attack Nathan may unleash and increase her durability as she desired to keep her body in one piece as it tried to bare the weight of this new power.
Clenching her fist, her body shaking and her eyes reddening with veins; it was clear to see that the girl was n o longer the same person she was. She was conscious, she was aware and she was determined to prove herself not only for her own selfish desires, but for the hearts of those she felt connected to her soul that she neglected so harshly before. It resulted in her releasing reddened tears of fury as she snarled with the utmost viciousness. "Endure it....everyone...myself....Hebinoishin....hang in there and I'll endure it with you....this isn't just for me anymore, it isn't just for my wants....it's because I know if we fight....WE CAN CHANGE THIS WORLD! SO NOTHING VENTURED....NOTHING......"
Unleashing a sonic boom that decimated everything around her, Shatari soon leapt at speeds that would even be difficult for the likes of Nathan Washi to keep up. It wasn't that Shatari was stronger than him energywise, no, there was something about her speed that had been taken over the top with this awakening. Engulfing her arms and limbs within an aura that was meant to corrode and melt away the defenses Nathan had when infused together with her elements of will, acidic nature, snake strength and electricity; she was going to make sure he at least remembered the might of her determination to keep this battle against him.
No matter where or what actions Nathan had decided do at this point in time, Shatari would be there to match him. If there were explosions in the way of him and her? SHE'D OBLITERATE THEM WITH HER BLITZKING SPEED! Would there be a wall between him and Shatari? IT WOULD BE REDUCED TO NOTHING BUT ASHES! A line of men? NOTHING. BUT. FUTILE. OBSTACLES. Hollering all of her might, she'd attempt to melt past everything and anything as she tried to burn through his defenses, destroy the layers of defenses separating her from him and give him her best effort, her best fight and her strongest will of any opponent she had faced up until this point. Through endless punches, kicks and even bites; she was trying to make sure anything worth of might could at least put a dent through his armor to make him feel her anger, her determination, the years of training spent to reach this point and that he was indeed worth this onslaught of power.
Each hit would attempt to constrict his life force, each blow would try to crush his spiritual energy, all punches landed would try to smash his health further back and overall she wanted some form of damage in any way, shape, form or method possible to be inflicted upon Nathan as she continued yelling; but not in the same sense as before. This wasn't a wild scream, this wasn't a yell of anger; it was one of pure and utter will. For the first time in her life, she knew what it meant to fight for something, to see something through to the very hand and get a real taste of what war is truly like....a horrific thing that should be ended as soon as possible.
So with these thoughts in mind, her spiritual force would even try to infuse itself into Nathan's own energy if they were still in close contact, as the formation of a snake was seen developing itself around The Monsuta Operative's body and reishi. It was attempting to constrict him, to bind him and to smother both him, his Zanpakutō and Inner Hollow as she was hellbent on making him feel every ounce of sweat, the tears of blood and the piles of body that her side had taken in this war.
"I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN NOW WHEN YOU SAID EARLIER THAT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO KILL EVERYONE IN THIS CITY, EVEN THOUGH TWO OF US BOTH KNOW THAT YOU HAVE THAT POWER! IT'S BECAUSE THERE ARE THINGS WORTH FIGHTING FOR, YOU ARE CORRECT IN THAT! SO EVERYTHING I'M GIVING YOU NOW, ALL OF THESE EMOTIONS, THIS DRIVE AND POWER IS A RESULT OF MY OWN WORTH! YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE TRYING TO FIGHT TO CHANGE SOMETHING, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHY WE STARTED THIS WAR? DO YOU NOT READ THE BOOKS OF HISTORY, NATHAN WASHI? THE HORRORS THAT THE MOSNUTA, THE KOKURUTESHI, SHADOW FALL AND ALL SIMILAR FACTIONS THAT HAVE SPAWNED ACROSS EARTH HAVE DONE TO THIS VERY PLANET OVER THE CENTURIES! I KNOW WELL ENOUGH ABOUT WAR WORLD THREE TO KNOW THAT EVERYTHING LEADING UP TO THIS POINT ISN'T JUST OUR OWN FAULT, BUT THAT THE MEN YOU LEAD, THE ORGANIZATION YOU FOLLOW AND ALL OF THEIR ACTIONS UNTIL THIS VERY MOMENT OUR FIST CLASH HAVE BEEN JUST AS GUILTY AS US! I WANT TO SEE THE DAYS THAT MY ELDERS IN THE CLAN SAY WHEN THIS WORLD WAS PEACEFUL, WHEN THIS LAND WAS BEAUTIFUL AND TO SEE THE SKY OF A DAY WHERE THERE IS HARMONY! SURE, I MAY NOT SEEM LIKE THAT TYPE TO YOU, BUT OVERALL, MY PEOPLE HAVE FOUGHT SO VIOLENTLY AGAINST YOUR KIND BECAUSE YOU ARE THE AGGRESSORS! WE ARE SIMPLY TAKING BACK WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY OURS THAT YOU TOOK AWAY IN WORLD WAR THREE! DON'T EITHER OF YOU DARE TRY TO PLAY THE VICTIM IN THIS WAR, I WON'T FUCKING TOLERATE IT!"
At this point, Hebinoishin himself could even be heard as letting loose a monstrous roar as they tried to subdue the likes of The Vizard. Squeezing every part of his physical and spiritual being to try and crush him; going in for enough force behind their efforts to even make his heart potentially take damage. No, it would not obliterate his heart, but the force of constriction binding down on his being could be enough to crush his hart to the point of making him black out in order to try and take him out of this fight or at least take some form of damage from coughing out blood, feeling like he took a heavy hit and making him notice this mighty effort on the part of this mere Thirteen Year Old Girl giving every ounce of her life towards this fight.
And in the wake of her screams, others further back even started to pay tribute to her efforts as some in the Vanguard had never seen their fellow operative in such a state. It was enough for thousands across the area to begin channeling their energy towards Shatari as her assaults were enhanced by this effort; even the Yuudeshi Network itself transmitting large sums of extra energy to be had by using the spikes which sported from her back as antenna's to transfer the strength to her.
"SO CAN YOU SEE IT NOW? CAN YOU NOT SEE I AM NOT ALONE, I DON'T JUST NEED MERE TOYS TO FIGHT YOU AND THAT I UNDERSTAND JUST WHAT THE HELL I AM FIGHTING FOR!? DON'T YOU DARE SAY TO ME I DON'T COMPREHEND WHAT IS GOING ON HERE! I WILL FIGHT YOU TO THE VERY BITTER END FOR EVERYTHING, FOR EVERYONE AND ALL THAT I STAND FOR! THIS IS MY CREED TO POWER, MY WILL TO STRENGTH AND MY RISE TO ASCENSION! I'M AWAKENED TO THE WORLD, AND I REFUSE TO HAVE THIS AMBITION FADE OUT LIKE A BAD DREAM OF MINE AS I TURN MY MIND'S EYES TO THE REALITY OF THINGS!"
She was unrelentless, fearless and utterly truthful in the actions she took, the words she spoke and the drive it took to face him like this; Muchless show the world this side of her, this side of The Banshee of Karakura was utter unpresented as others in the area merely looked on with shocked faces as they saw how hard they fought. Some Yuudeshi's called this the beginning of someone with the will to master their drive, others were concerned that she may lose control of it if she doesn't keep this firm grasp on it's power; but all Sharai was focused on was her and everyone elses ambition in this war that fought beside her coming to light as she bared it all down on Nathan. It didn't matter if Logan tried to interfere, it didn't matter if Hakura tried to assist her or turned back to his roots, it didn't matter if Haku himself tried to attack Shatari in such a state; all that mattered, the only thing that's mattered, was trying to make this positive change that she felt within every fiber of her body, mind and soul be carried out.
So with one final attack, she'd try to activate the power of The Yuudeshi's Drive and her Will Aura in order to inflict an attack that did not rely on her energy, but rather, all of this strength which had built up from her determination. Now, her cries of war bellowed throughout every inch of the city as all else was nothing but muted as she focused her sights solely on the being of Nathan. Eyes becoming devoured by nothing but a white light in one eye, and a blazing red in her left; both Shatari and Hebinoishin roared with their strive to power as they attempted to unleash an attack meant attack every square inch of his body through their aura. It didn't matter that they were weaker than him by energy, no, it mattered that their Yuudeshi Drive materialized their overwhelming willpower into a tangible source of power at the cost of making Shatari's body scream in pain as it's physical energy was exchanged in order to make an attack that even Nathan's defenses would have to brace themselves for as it could leave a heavy impact on his body in the form of broken bones, shattered organs, the decimation of his spiritual energy and even cause his Zanpukto and Inner Hollow to scream in pain as Shatari and Hebinohsin gave them everything single ounce of strength they had while in their strongest state to date.
And thus, in that exploding light of will, only time would tell if their awakening, the strength of her will and the power which the Yuudeshi wield would be enough to at least make the damned Vizard budge. At the very least, things from this point onward weren't going to be so one-sided if their ambition had anything to say about it. As at this point, the person who Shatari started out as in this battle was totally and utterly dead. What this meant for her and everyone around her...? No one quite knew. Only the progression of this fight, this war and the aftermath of it all could tell as time goes on.
For now, however, the battle was reaching a climatic point and it was up to Shatari and Hebinoishin to see this through to the end with their hardened resolve. As the hearts, minds and wills of those whom they fought alongside exploded with strength, as to did the endless depth of effort within The Banshee's own being expand. It was rising to the surfaces, breaking the boundaries the former Shatari had engaged it in and exploding into the world with this dazzling sense of power as she evolved not only in the depths of combat, but as person she started to actually care more about those around her; serving to harden these sensations of desire inside of her. Because no longer was there aspiration that were selfishlessly focused on herself.....but the passion of all those whom were closed to her surged in her heart and put her courage, valor and strength into overdrive for the single strongest being she has ever fought against.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
As the edges of her body began to feel as if her flesh were being burn to ashes, a violent white lash ignited from the back of her head and extended all the way down past her spine, the tops of her arms, the backs of her legs and eventually The Yuudeshi's entire backside. If one could even decipher what was going on here, Shatari's Yuudeshi Drive was accelerating the girl's entire being to the point of making various parts of her body becoming formless and nothing more than energy itself as a testament to how far the potential she had for her ambitions were. So while the energy began pouring into her, more vicious cries escaped the Yuudeshi as the physical parts of her being that were left began to glow with a silver aura that shielded her from even some of Nathan's strongest attacks from the aura of her will. This did not mean she would be invincible, but that when he did attack her there would be a better chance of her holding up against his attacks when they do come. She could sense that something big was coming. Hearing him mutter something about the timing of something, she wasn't quite sure what it was, but this determination of hers wouldn't be so easily broken by even the mysteries and enigma of her opponents intentions.
And despite her ascension to this mysterious power, it wasn't a wonder power as well. As while this transference was occurring, and being grown further by the likes of the Yuudeshi Network pushing her deeper into the depths of The Yuudeshi Drive with her connection to both that and the network, every square inch of The Banshee's body was in agonizing pain. She could feel her bones crackling with pain, the lost of an extremely peculiar white blood escaped her mouth and even her skin itself began to crack; but she would not give this up as it soon expanded to the skies above them and across a one mile radius there was nothing but a golden, red, white and black circular pattern engulfing the clouds as Shatari's power could be felt throughout the entire city as an even brighter illuminous shined in her chest and signaled that this was indeed the major shift The Yuudeshi had longed for.
What awaited for Nathan now....was an opponent that was radically changed thanks to his actions. Much in the same way Shatari's efforts seemed to remove his meekness, so to has his words and movements altered the perception of The Yuudeshi's reality to turn into this monstrous source of battle as the gears of war had accelerated within the city of Geelong. A war that was sure to change the depth of consciousness of all those who participated in it as these forces meshed together in a bloodied display of fortitude, devotion and loyalty to their separate causes, ideologies and souls in which they raised their hands to sky in order to fight til the very end for.

Hagokumo wasn't ready for that the guy was actually stronger as the demon reverted into his fallen angel state and using both magic and nano-bites to heal. This guy was going to be a problem before the demon could even worry about the others this fool this shinigami asshole needed to taken down first. This shouldn't be a problem but the demon noticed his left arm was broken perhaps his healing wasn't finished yet but it was a lot slower then before maybe after this war some training might be needed.
This little punk was strong his attack didn't even seemed to hurt him this Hakura must have some strong defenses to block an level of bankai. Hagokumo thought his powers weren't as strong as he hoped for if he was his partner's powers were weak then his powers were weak as well. If he wanted to win this battle the demon will have to push every level of his body to it very limits use everything with his arsenal and still find ways of surviving. This wasn't like the time at the high school when he was facing all those people with his minion was serving his best interests at the time but this and all out war for this land. Hagokumo had to wonder if he wanted to fight for something that he didn't believe in the first place and that iramasha was suppose to be the leader of that organization that he was serving. If he couldn't be controlled and not have any direction and then it was time to count his losses and leave because if the organization didn't have his best interests then why fight. The wizard will need to think about this some more later but right before the demon could plan for the future their was one little thing that needed to be taken care of. The scent coming from that little runt wasn't good a certain power was growing inside the young Yuudeshi brat this was the same feeling from before. The wizard didn't believe this was happening the fuck again the same feeling when he killed Kade Hiroshima and took over his life it was that weird feeling again something bad happens to him or people of evil. The wizard didn't really care about this battle but really the demon didn't want to leave on a high note but the demon wasn't really ready to use his last resort just yet their a good bankai power. To think his ziamichi spirit was actually useful to the demon actually giving him the rights to the Zanpakutō, Hagokumo could actually put and major thorn to the Yuudeshi clan if he defeats Shatari. The little runt was a problem if she gets her way and their no telling what kind of powers a yuudeshi can obtain but the demon didn't really the fear of the situation. A main objective of this whole battle was defeating his opponents and taking the land for himself and if he sees fit then the organization can have some of the profits as well.
Back to the most important thing at hand still the demon was willing to risk it and still their were consequences were very high but the demon needed to make an statement and the time was now. Hagokumo was in his final form this should take a nasty toll on his demonic body but to make a statement a demon needs to fight really dirty and burn everything in it tracks and finally make sure everything is dead. "NOW I'M FUCKING MAD...THIS LAND IS FUCKING HISTORY THIS ENTIRE PLACE IS GOING TO BE A DAMN LAND OF PURGATORI AND DESTRUCTION. I WAS GOING TO CLAIM THIS LAND FOR MYSELF BUT NOW I SEE I WAS WRONG THIS LAND IS GOING TO BE FUCKING REDUCE OF FUCKING WASTELAND......ARMAGEDDON BEGINS HERE" He said. The demon was angry but then again his anger wasn't going to last long at all as the demon raise his left hand into the air. The Trinity Books started to appear as the demon wizard was smiling as his final attack was about to begin and ravage his land. The books started to circle around absorbing the evil, hatred, anger, negative karma and bad energy throughout the world. Hagokumo started to absorb it forming a ball of energy with his left hand which creates a spear. The skies started to turn red and starts raining blood and nothing seems to have happen just yet but the demon was smirking. An massive attack was about happen, Haku finally unleashed his attack upon everybody a hailstorm of burning red spears started pouring upon his enemies. "ARMAGEDDON BEGINS" He yelled.

Nathan, you know, you lack one thing, despite all that has happened to you. And what's that, Flightwire? You are the man without fear.
Flightwire stated simply to the male who was beholding the traitor, his eyes locked onto his target. He saw as the other male backhanded the fireball, his eyes twitching slightly. However, there was little that could be done about it now, and so Nathan had to deal with what he could. He saw the male apear between himself and Shatari… and his level of disregard merely increased. "The only shoes that I fill are my own… I don't think I could deal with anyone else's." He stated simply to Hakura as the other male appeared in front of him. [co lor=green]"And besides… What else is someone supposed to be afraid of more than their own shadow?"[/color] He continued in his statement, his eyes locked directly onto the man as his headbutt came directly towards him, nailing firmly into his skull… as it was matched evenly, a single bruise appearing on his forehead and a few drops of blood dripping from it. "Yaknow… I'm stronger than I look…" He stated simply, his body completely rigid and unmoving from the impact, before suddenly he saw the man pointing his hand at Logan. "Coward." Both of the voices of Nathan and Flightwire stated in unison as Hakura ceased targeting them, pointing his hand at Logan.
"…" He was silenced as the noise of Logan's laugh reached into his ears ,and he freezed, not even stopping the attack as it shot directly at Logan, slaming into her and doing absolutely nothing. "…" Suddenly, a fierce fury entered into the eyes of the male. "RAAAAAA-AAA-AAA-AA-AA-AAH!!"
The roar emerged from his lips, as it became apparent that Hakura's entire body was totally and completely surrounded by small whirling discs. The voice of Logan was within his ears as he stared at the male in front of him, the massive amount of explosions roaring around them as the explosions ripped into Hakura's body, shrapenel being exploded into his body and exploded once more as they attempted to burn and sear his flesh, aiming to tear up his body and deal a massive amount of damage to his body, due only to the fact that he had gotten close to the Exploding Penguin. "Yeah, you're right, but at least she has the balls to stand by something that she believed in after it's no longer there, unlike you. Coward." He repeated, a bit of himself showing in the shortness of his statements, but their painful quivering showed their conviction plainly.
"And get the hell out of my way. A coward, a traitor is nothing more than dirt. Who wants a man who has so little faith that the mere loss of a friend causes him to betray all that that man stood for in the face of a more attractive individual? He who betrays will never again have trust." Nathan stated logically, looking directly at Shatari as he stated this. It was true enough; all throughout history, traitors never emerged greater than they had been originally. Those that they joined after their defection always treated them with scorn or distaste, due to the high likelihood of the traitor betraying them, as they had shown they had more than enough willingness to do.
"And you also call me a pedophile and then immediately tell her to gout of control yourself." He finished after Logan's statements finished, before his focus changed inwards towards Shatari.
"Is this girl f#cking serious?" The harsh voice of Flightwire left Nathan's body, his mask reappearing in an expression of shok or slight distaste. "When I said… Ah f#ckit." He stated simply, sighing as he refleted on Shatari. "Then why do you come here and destroy our homes? We've never done anything to you diretly. The last suessful Monsuta mission… Was really simply in recruitment. And eve that was in line with the positive ideals of our organization." He told Shatari in reply to her statement that she wasn't oblivious to its effets. Änd in the end… DO you really think I need ot know what I'm talking about? Do you really care? You've simply deemed the lot of us 'savages' conquering over the people of this place, and that you're the obvious savoir who's going to end our tyranny. How arrogant. I wonder if that's what the original Austrailian peoples felt when the Anglosaxons first began pouring prisoners of all things into their island." He reflected in on himself, while at the same time thinking aobu thow illogical it was that she could say that he understood nothing and yet still be listening to his words. It was an illogical curiosity, one which he could not quite wrap his normally feeble mind around.
"…" In the face of her speech about strength, however, the masked individual had become totally silent, his green hair slightly billowing about in the wind. Out of his clothing shot many explosives, firing in all directions as hudnreds of mines flew out of his body as she said that she wanted to put an end to this. "You know nothing of those days… The days of fear…" His mind flinched back to the days of being accused for a murder he did not commit, the blade in his own hand beginning to dig into his own wrist, plain that the amount of fore he was using was simply ridiculous as blood dripped from the wound, plainly in view of everyone present. "...You crush my home…" He squeaked out simply, the stress in his mind beoming simply too much as he felt himself becoming filled with more and more madness and anxiety.
[color=green]"Then why, little devil…"[/olor] He breathed out simply in reply to her masochisti, or simply bloodlust filled reply to his attack, his eyes losing some of their madness, replaced with out of all things a slightly cowering pity. "Are they now…? Why are they not right now… at your side during your challenge?" He asked her, before hearing her scream. His internal eardrums, as firm as the rest of his body, took the scream straight on as they accepted it, becoming numbed by it but otherwise unaffected, watching as spiritual energy coated around her body. The blood of those who are spiritually gifted activating… He reflected on himself as she reappeared, having completely accelerated.
"… I wonder… " He breathed out, looking her straight in the eyes. "The damaged souls… Who are fighting for them…? It wasn't you…" He stated simply, as the bombs that left his body left him, descending straight downwards like great stars of light. From those stars emerged more stars, scattering out and about in every direction, before aiming for all the weakpoints of the soldiers who had arrived at the area, aiming to precisely incapacitate them, Flightwire having used the time of her talking to pinpoint all of their vital spots, repulsing them once again from the Monsuta's holdings. "All you have is bloodlust… This ideology you're 'fighting for' is incompatible with my existence…" He continued, the depression plain in his voice as he heard her yelling at him repeatedly. "I don't have to destroy your heart. That's not what destroys a man. Destroying a man takes destroying his will. It takes the knowledge of beliving he has done that which is wrong… and never rectifying it. It ends in the grisly finale of taking one's own life. The job of the 'heart' is to PUMP BLOOD!" He stated simply, his aura becoming more dangerous, in only the fact that it became vastly more dense.
"And what happens when you cannot crush me, little devil?" He asked her simply in reply, as he was missing that one tiny sliver of information from her. He had heard in detail how she would never stop, how she would go on and on and on with her willpower. But he heard not one word spoken about when it would fial. "Because if you can't answer that… Then you have revealed the way to break you." He stated simply to her, the explosives still flowin out of his body as they spun around him now, spherical in design. All the explosives up until now had been directed at Hakura, other than the waves sent against the men, in an effort to send him flying away from them, dealing damage that would hinder his progress towards them and ompletely removing him from them.
"Why put on suh a fancy dress when you know it's going to be ripped from you and consumed by fire?" He asked her, honestly slightly curious as from his chest a large missile fired, very thin, shootin gidrectly at Shatari as it exploded into a wide amount of area damage, Nathan's incredibly durable flesh maiintaining itself against the blast. If it was anything less durable than her own skin, it would likely be completely burned up, fabri scorhed and burning as a result of the explosive.
"...what justice is there, even…" He muttered to himself, speaking to absolutely no one except himself. No one was designed to hear those words, no one was meant to see any use for them. He simply asked himself this question, Shatari before him, a young girl with her entire life ahead of her deciding to descend into war for bloodlust. In addition… being allowed to. That was a crime, even to Nathan's normally meek eyes.
As she released her energy, he felt it daning across his own skin, but was not concerend with it. He had a feeling that this was how it was going ot be; she had just earned plenty of power… But it did not seem to him like she had the experience to use it. What good was a knife that one did not know how to sharpen. It was still a piece of metal, certainly, but it ould not cut everything that it would be able to at its full potential. Such was the effet of the electricity on Nathan, who merely stood within it, completely unphased by the prsence of it around him.
He heard her roaring at him as she suddenly threw herself forwards, as she shot towards him at an immense speed, before suddenly his eyes opened wide at her racing straight towards him, before suddenly his arm reached out, watching as she shot directly towards him. This starange eneryg, however, merely hit his body and flowed off. I was rright… He reflected unto himself, as he looked at her with dissapointment. No edge… He detemrined, feeling the sheer force of power sliding off of his skin, feeling it breifly touch across his defensive nature in places, but just as rapidly feeling them replaced, due to the fat that the lack o fconcentration barely effeted his body from the sheer amoutn she was pouring on him… It didn't effect him much, to say the least. "…" He was totally silent as the undirected wave of force attempted to constrict around him, hearing her yelling at him as her venom continued to splash about his body, the force of her blows combined with his motions to dodge at least a decent number of them suffient to remove the material that could not set in on his flesh.
"So you respond to horrrors with horror?" He asked her, speaking pointedly enough about the venom that she was sspreading all over the place. "What good will such horrifics cause? These people did not cause these atrocities… Evil can only triumph when good men do nothing. So how did this evil you speak of trumph how you say it has? Thus your only option is to lash out, perhaps with the same logic they had…? Your theory of an eye for an eye… Makes the entire world blind." He stated to her, as she was loosing venom more and more on him, feeling the constrictive force that felt like someone had a bear hug aroun dhim holding him.
"Little devil… You're hurting me." He stated to her simply as she finally released her final attack, the assault occuring all over his body, drops of blood appearing as he looked at her through the broken shards of his mask. His fae was revealed once more, the face of a young man, unsoiled by the thought of conquest, a face that was now contorted into a harmed expression, an expression of innocence. "Am I… The aggressor…? Why are you aggressing me… If that's so… wrong…? Because it hurts… It hurts…" He breathed out, his voice becoming more strained. He was still the same being, still the same weak, meek man, who had to stand up to defend that which he believed in, the only time eh ever stood up. He had never once acted out of anything but defense. The man was literall yunable to be an aggressor, and yet he had ended up in this state.
"It… Hurts…"
"It hurts so much… it… hurts so… Much…!"
He breathed out, as suddenly the clothing around his body that had completely melted by the venom left him, his entire body reddeneded from the experience, before something began to occur. "AHHHHH! AHHHHHHH! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" HE roared out, as his body suddenly twitched violently, his hair elongating as another cloak grew around his body, his wings becoming large and grandiose on his back as they suddenly swung out resolutely, the air around Nathan breaking as he stood there, his eyes closed, his arms totally covered by the sleeves of his new garment. The only thing visible that was human of the whitish-green aura wearing male was his face, which was currently shedding tears. "That hurts… IT HURTS D@MNIT!!" He suddenly released, the massive wings at his backside flowing out and extending as the massive attack that was happening all over his body suddenly ceased, the air blowing the substance that had been corroding his durable skin being blown off as it could no longer gain entry, leaving the male standing there, tears still streaming down his face. "D@mnit… D@MNIT!... Uwa… Uh…" He finally let out, as the Exploding Penguin suddenly twitched.
"F...Flight...wi...re…?" He suddenly asked, his breathing rapidly increasing. His bankai had finally released, every single bit of its resources going straight into defense as it always did. However, there was something else wrong. I "Where… Flight…? Wire…" He stated, as if confused from the lack of reaction, before looking at his hands, the sleeves moving aside as his tear-stained face examined them. "Ka…" An almost clicking-like noise emerged from the back of his throat as he stared at Shatari, before staring back down at his hands. Something was wrong, something had become very, very wrong… And the Exploding Penguin had no idea whatsoever what was happening.

Hakura felt it. . . it wasn’t his normal resolve no it was a sense of purpose. His eyes slowly moved gazing directly into nathan’s eyes and logans, these eyes had pure dominating determination in them, the kind of eyes a conquering king would have. A ruthless glare which pierced through a person, and truly showed his iron resolve, it was an entirely different type of pressure, a pressure of will. It was crushing like a million pounds of heavy water falling down on both of them at once. It was but a glance but it embodied his past, his present and his future. The kind of eyes that you may see only in a moment of change in one’s life, when fate was turned upside down on its head. It started out slow at first , but his body seemed to be hazy the ground was beginning to crack around him, as he had slowly through his resolve knew words would not suffice. Yet he felt compelled to answer them, both of them. The words would be simple, but the meaning behind them would be the words of a warrior that was moving on, that wouldn’t be stopped by heaven or hell, but only by death. So with a level voice which showed no second thoughts, he had said the words which resounded like a symphony. He said this while the bombs smashed into him from all sides. Normally they would have hurt, but currently he had hardened his skin to its maximum capacity. Which meant even though Nathan was of the same power level as hakura he would have even with his strength had a hard time at that moment, doing more than light moderate damage.
“So what, if I am foolish, then I will be foolish by her side. Your past may be unfortunate, but I have made up my mind. I don’t care if you feel that you have been betrayed, your past if your own, I did not join anyone out of sympathy. Use your fists, because she isn’t alone anymore. I am here, and ill be dead before she loses. Now if you excuse me, I have a demon to stop.”
Hakura finished his eyes not gazing at logan or Nathan anymore. As he turned away his eyes fell on the demon, the one which was pulling out book after book and summoning an untimely Armageddon. He began to walk forward as behind him he had using a kick straight down at a vertical angle, had smashed his toes into the ground itself. The force of impact would radiate off the sides from how it hit, creating a gaping fissure which separated him from shatari and logan and even Nathan. Then he began to walk towards the field in which the demon had been. It was like he was glowing energy was radiating around every inch of his body, the pressure was suffocating even for someone at his level of power. Truly his heightened resolve made it so that it was nearly impossible to deny him now. Each step he took broke the ground, his eyes only set on the enemy in front of him. His skin was hardening immensely, what he said behind him to Logan specifically was a simple sentence, but it was one which had no wavering doubts behind it anymore.
“Cross that line and there will be no turning back, I will not be hesitant to rip you limb from limb not anymore”
It was a simple sentence but it had the ferocity of an army of blood thirsty barbarians all on its own, finally you could hear the double tone of a hollow and Hakura. As energy released it was the equivalent of both him and his hollow at full power combined. Two sources united momentarily by the magnitude of his resolve. Yet he wasn’t hurrying , no as he walked forward his eyes had the resolve of a thousand mercenaries , all that kill intent was focused just on the demons form. His hand seemed to slowly be clenching into a fist his shirt ripped completely off as his massive muscles fully flexed. Energy finally pumping into them on the atomic level, this meant that finally his muscles had been at max capacity, he was taking this seriously. From there he had leaned forward bringing one foot up, however behind that foot was his resolve, his unshakable determination. The power he had in purest form, the feelings he had which shook his foundations, the new path that he was going down. The strength that resonated in his bones, and the enlightenment that he had gained in such a short period of time, all that force went into his foot as he kicked off like a sprinter launching from the starting blocks.
The effects absolutely had been devastating as the whole town felt the shockwave buildings being launched out of the ground as the ground itself rolled in a land made ripple. It was immense the force of it was enough to turn the entire 2mile radius around him into a gigantic crater, and in turn sent him off at speeds that made it so that there obviously wouldn’t be more than a split second to dodge this onslaught. It was his hand the right one which had jerked forward in this split second. All his force and might was thrown into this punch, and on top of that he removed the limits he normally placed upon his strength further boosting it this would have even blown the clouds apart in a mile radius above them, if nothing from the hypersonic shockwave directly generated from the force of the massive punch’s shockwave. It blew away buildings it stripped tree’s clean. It was almost like the ash cloud which ripples outwards from a meteor strike. This punch would have been strong enough that from its timing and position even if it was within 10 feet of the opponent it would be enough to send them shooting off through the ground and possibly outside of the town. However if it hit directly, the force wouldn’t just break the bones it would be enough to completely blow a hole through the opponent, While he had clenched his other hand the left one into a hard fist then following the devastating right hook with a monstrous left hook.
That left hook would have all his anger at this fool, anger at himself and most of all the hope he had for something better. Which was why as he let out a great big roar his energy flared expanding and creating a massive explosion around him as his fist hopefully smashed into the side of the demons face with ample force to literally cause him to flip into the air like a shooting star, even this punch was fierce enough that it had a deafening thunderclap following it. That was followed by his hand raising straight up energy crackling into the sky while the spears began to fall down his energy was flaring while he had shouted something displaying an absolutely monstrous understanding of kido.
"Limit of the thousands hands, respectful hands, unable to touch the darkness. Shooting hands unable to reflect the blue sky. The road that basks in light, the wind that ignited the embers, time that gathers when both are together, there is no need to be hesitant, obey my orders. Light bullets, eight bodies, nine items, book of heaven, diseased treasure, great wheel, grey fortress tower. Aim far away, scatter brightly and cleanly when fired
Hadō #91. Senjū Kōten Taihō!”
As the truly monstrous level of energy left his hand, it turned into hundreds of pink spears of light, they shot up growing in size and picking up speed. As the sky was covered with a pink glow his energy seemed to diminish some noticeably. Spears of anger met spears of light, in a honestly monstrous explosion which honestly caused the sky to turn a blinding white flames raining down from the collision would have crashed into buildings destroying them like a thousand meteors falling from the sky it seemed that the town wouldn’t escape unscathed as then Hakura raised his hand and using his augmented energy which came from him, his hollow, and now his Zanpakutō itself. He was drawing from all of it , causing his energy to rise to reckless levels. Then using that he had then exhaled slowly, and began to crouch down again kicking directly up he rose in a column of dust high into the air while he had looked around for the demon, trying to get a good look at him or where he was.
As now through his continued pushing he had seemed to be scanning , and still looking. Looking for his opponent.

The conflict between Nathan and Hakura wasn't of much concern to Shatari as she paid witness to the two of them having their own dispute over his turncoat actions. It was merely another obstacle that was going to resolve itself one way or another, and if it got in the way of Shatari's one-track mind, then she'd to obliterate it with all the power coursing through her veins -- at least, that's what her mind had envisioned anyway. Reality can sometimes be a cruel mistress and bring such grandiose thoughts shattering into pieces, but the headstrong Yuudeshi refused to give into such negative outcomes as that played within her mind. In times like this, in situations like this, it was better to block that image of failure out until all power to fight against fate was absolved and taken away. And in this fight? There was still so much fight, so much energy and so much passion and drive left to give out.
'"You say I come here to destroy your homes? You say you haven't done anything to us directly? Who are you to speak for my motives? From my point of view you have done enough throughout the world to warrant being my enemy. I've seen your forces work alongside the likes of The Kokuryuteshi and Shadow Fall throughout the globe in many of their assaults, you forcibly took control of the Australian poplis in World War Three and the whole foundation of your organization was built solely to destroy one man: Zin Yuudeshi, one my elder ancestors. I don't care about being a savior, I don't care about you people being savages because my clan is a bunch of people who thrive off combat; but you got one thing right: I am going to end this somehow. It may not be today, but I'll put every ounce of my strength to stop you. It may be simplistic and brutal to you, yet to me, it's simply something that cannot be HELPED ANYMORE!"
Following that pause, she'd reflect on herself that there was no way the enemy could understand her motivation at this point. Even if she gave this man the best illustration of why she was combating, it would simply be dismissed. Yes...such words were useless in the middle of war. If this could be resolved by words, the two of them most likely would not even be battling on this field at this very moment. The only thing her blood was telling her was to fight harder, push herself further and do not give in. It's something that was making her further embed into the Yuudeshi Drive, harmonizing her deeper with this power and pushing the girl to the edge of her abilities with this newly awakened form.
'Shatari, calm yourself. Your blood is boiling, you are too agitated! Do not let your mind become so worked up and excited.Your blood grows dangerously hot, if you continue to keep this act up I won't be able to control myself.' The Heavy voice of Hebinoishin gave a grim warning to The Banshee of Karakura as she pressed onward with her assault. Feeling the sensation of the Yuudeshi Drive accelerating more into her body, this bone-chilling feeling that was coursing over vein in his body were grim in nature. Being that Shatari's powers were now so heavily linked to her psyche, it was the utmost of importance of keeping that harmony, maintaining that balance and never allowing her to be pushed over the edge. The fear of such extreme depths of hostility entering her blood once again could, in his mind, trigger an adverse reaction within the The Drive.
For it is at this age, this reckless age, where activating a Yuudeshi Drive is the most dangerous. In these formative years of a human's a development, their mind is most susceptible to falling prey to becoming so absorbed within their power, so consumed by their aggressive that they can become lost in it and eventually letting it envelop themselves to a point where the person in question is driven utterly mad with this bloodlust that runs heavy in the Yuudeshi Clan. It takes a strong body and mind to properly tame this strength, and only time would tell if Shatari truly had what it takes to wield it. For now, all he could do is watch the results of this battle as her Drive was pushed further along.
So as the fight advanced, Shatari didn't have much time to indulge Hebionishin. A brief nod of her head was all she could give him to confirm that she indeed understood the depth of what was going on; for her sights was set solely on the opponent before her. However, The Raging Yuudeshi would at least notice something entirely off. Watching the bodily reactions of the male closely during their exchange of word and fists, there seemed to be something heavily depressive about his tone of voice and overall combat. It was enough to make her raise a questionable eyebrow as she was somewhat bewildered by this fact. Though as he went on about the likes of her classmates, Shatari scowled a bit before letting out an agitated sigh in regards to him inquiring about their absence in this fight.
"Don't be mistaken, they'd be here fighting by my side if they could, but if you haven't been paying much attention to the other cities around us you'd be keen to know that their engaged in heavy battles. Why do you think I'm trying to end things here with your ass? I've got bigger and better places to join. With this new sense of power I've unlocked thanks to this fight, I should be more than equipped to assist them. But as you know, this city comes above all else." Seeming so assured in herself, she stared The Lone Vizard dead in his eyes as he began to look towards her direction.
"Besides, even if my allies are in so such remote places, at least my comrades aren't the ones backstabbing me and leaving me for dead. The woman over there seems to have disappeared from your side, the male over there seems to have so little faith in you that he has abandoned your side and even your leader is bowing to my leader. I'd say in this circumstance you are a worse position than I am even if you do manage to beat me because soon enough, even your cards will burn and fall. " Taking a glance to the direction where Zin and Hakai Chikara were fighting, there was a sense of worry across her face after one of the major sources of power...suddenly stopped in it's tracks. Why would Hakai stop so swiftly? It didn't make much sense to her, but she had her own issues to contend with here.
At any rate, hearing the words of Hebinoishin ring her mind, she'd take a heavy breath and exhale these hostile intentions in her blood as a red mist was seen exiting Shatari's mouth as she locked on to Nathan's sight. "Look, you keep trying to speak what my philosophy is, but you aren't in a good judgement to make those calls with the results of your principles I've seen play out on this field. My doctrine may not be compatible with yours, but there are many other souls that this outlook resonates in; much as your beliefs surge within your allies." Hearing the pains in his voice further, Shatari could even suck her teeth as this wasn't what she signed up for. Seeing the man break down like this wasn't something she had desired; she wanted to get through this dan obstacle and be done with it; there wasn't time to be caught in such...emotions as she tried to ignore that part of herself feeling compassion as it would surely be turned against her the moment it came out.
Listening to him go on about what it takes to destroy a man's will, Shatari could only have a somber expression transition into her face as she held her ground against his tremendous release of power. It's clear to her that this battle was beginning to tear into the psyche of the male, and she didn't like it one bit; but what else could she do? "The heart, the soul and the mind are all one. Everything that is before you is me and to crush my will is to destroy everything that is me. The moment you accept your will as weak is the moment that it dies until you find the power to retain it once more or die trying. That is my creed at the very least, and in that creed I don't foresee myself giving in to it no matter how rotten this is." Closing her eyes to take a heavy breath, Shatari would continue onward with this exchange of ideals with the male.
"If I cannot defeat you, then that simply means I have to start from scratch and go at it again. I may be brazen hearted, but I'm not brainless either. I know how to take a lost if it comes to it and in the end I'll have to take those experienced, instill them into myself and use it to make it stronger and stronger until I have acquired the strength to defeat you and materialize my ambitions, my goals and my dreams. However, as you speak now....I'm not even sure if I desire such a thing. I can't help but notice how pained you seemed to be...and that doesn't sit well with me....while true I want this to come to an end, I don't want it to be like this anymore."
And these were genuine expressions of how the Yuudeshi felt. At this point, the bloodlust within her was dimming from the volatile volcano mixture of thoughts that devoured her. Easing in her facial expression, the intensity in which the female blasted The Lone Vizard with earlier had started to dissipate as her face seemed to ease. It was clear to her at this point that maybe the intent was pure in her mind, as she felt no wrong in the motivation and intentions behind this assault, but the method of going about it was beginning to seem amiss in her mind and it did not sit well with The Banshee.
"Why bother wearing any garments for that matter? Everything a person owns in this life is simply a fleeting moment of ownership before it fades. By that logic, you should bare all that you are to me and continue this thrash bare as the day you were born." Soon after those words, Shatari's body would protect itself from this explosive blast in multiple layers of her Yuudeshi Drive's tangible willpower; still in effect, this resolve was turning into an actual force to shield her from the harshest of effects. However....she was still seen was taking damage as cuts, burns and marks on herself and clothing were seen as taking place. The skin darkened, the crimson liquid flowed from her face and the smoke flowed away from her body; but a dimmer look soon came into view when the dust cleared. The aggression in The Beast's face had all but surely faded and the only thing left to was to keep moving forward with what was done.
"Justice? There isn't such a thing in the universe. Only the will of man brings such an illusion." Uttered Shatari in a low tone to what was echoed at a low tone from the likes of Nathan. These may have been words to himself, but a voice still rang back in the darkness. Watching the potency of her attacks strike the male's body, there was a sense of silence in this dispute as she was beginning to realize that this dispute was becoming more sinister than she had intended to be.
"I am not targeting these people. I am only targeting the likes of the Monsuta as they were associated with how the world came to be following that faithful war so many years ago. The theory that world goes blind from taking an eye for an eye assumes there is only one road to our destination...when that is utterly naive. In this day, in this age....you may lose an eye, but it's not a circumstance you can not recover from. In the many centuries ago before we were blessed with this sacred gift, men who lost appendages were doomed for them to be lost forever. Yet, as man became smarter, bit deeper into the fruit that was power and changed their path -- now such trivialities have the potential to be rectified and it's outcome changed. The same logic can be applied to this circumstance. We may blind ourselves in the logic, but through this pain we've inflicted on one another, we can learn, we can grow...and we can change from the mistakes we've made in the past as we go through this process that is...evolution."
In that last second, in those softened words, something ticked within the girl, as after that final attack had made it's mark on Nathan a brief glance of white light flickered within the girl's eyes. It was as if something...wicked was absolved into nothingness and she was seen as a swiftly moving away and moving roughly twenty feet away from the male. Taking a moment to highly inhale and exhale, the Yuudeshi's hair soon eclipsed her eyes and gave a blackened overshadow across them as her face became exceedingly more dark in nature; as within a clap of thunder, The Beast started to experience similar sensations of grimness as the Vizard before her as she listened to him last hurt.
This sorrow that resonated within him caused the once rapid beast to shudder and shake in pain, to quiver and sob as the female's tears escape her eyes and became one with the rains of the land as it let out a howl of anguish; signifying that the world was now bawling in toe with them. This...isn't what she wanted....she didn't want to break someone like this....her heart was torn at this point and she was trying to hold back the weeping as she dropped to her knees in that moment and grabbed her chest as her heart began to ache. "I'm sorry...I'm Sorry.....I'm sorry...ImsorryImsorryImsorryImsorry ImsorryImsorryImsorryImsorryImsorry...." Repeating this over and over she'd say those words to Nathan as she felt mortified at what was occurring with him now because of her actions.
Heaving in breath, The Yuudeshi would force herself back up to her feet; holding her hand across her mouth while she was forcing herself to bare the weight of these accursed emotions. Knowing that she made her grave, she'd lay in it; but try to rectify it as well. "I........can't do this anymore. I....you...we...need to call a ceasefire now....this is too much....I didn't ask for this to happen to you.....let's just call this a draw...it's not worth it to go any further down this path. Please...I'm so sorry...." With each pause in her speech, the pale skinned girl's woe was heard as she held back sobs within each rest. Walking closer to him, she'd soon collapse by his feet and attempted to embrace in a hug as she began to sob hardly for the lost that had just occurred.
Just...what had she done to him?

Nathan was down the demon could feel it somebody has taken the split personality guy down and this wasnt good at all if would be two against one. Haku didn't like those odds one bit and not his bad condition and right now the demon wizard wasn't feeling good at all after using his final attack against everybody.
"Oh great Nathan is down and now I'm on my own.......A lone human against some sharks but I must be strong against these odds like this." He thought.
Hagokumo was in hiding still this fool was stronger then him maybe it was wrong for him to enter such a battlefield his leader didn't pay enough doing dirty work like this. The demon wizard was greatly damage but the demon was alive still the shinigami was in hiding still the demon used his armageddon attack, Haku was feeling the consequences from using the technique. The demon wizard was breathing hard still it was not good and one of his arms couldn't be used so for now, Hagokumo didn't think a shinigami would wound him again but this was a strong one. However, Hagokumo felt something weird a feeling of great pain it was enough for him for the demon to smile and to see who was in such great pain that little brat of the yuudeshi clan. This was a good feeling, Haku thought it would be useless if the yuudeshi network would attack him and it would be deadly. He couldn't move one of his arms because of the armageddon attack so if he wanted to start a deadly attack however the brat was just standing there in grief this would be the best opening. For all the damage, Haku couldn't move his good arm meaning the demon wizard would have to use his other arm for the attack meaning he'll have to put all his power into one final attack. The demon wizard was in pain but the demon needed to put that aside as the wizard started using his healing magic to heal some parts of his body. Finally, Hagokumo healed some parts of his body started to crack his knuckle but the demon started using his body manipulation sprouting another left arm. Then with his body manipulation started to fused the two left arms still the arm was half damage which was good. Still, Haku wont be able to use his magic again because of the lost of blood but still it will it be all worth it just to wipe out the yuudeshi brat. With his healing magic, Haku had an elixir created which spit out allow him to spit out his kidneys as his inside demons created new ones.
The demon was still within his fallen angel form, Hagokumo had a perfect aim at the yuudeshi brat using the affinity of hell to augment his attack. The demon summoned all his power to create his spear weapon putting his Zanpakutō back into it sheathe as he fired the final breath technique at full power directly at Shatari hoping it would hit. The demon wizard was surprised no one else from Kin's group arrived and it was sharp blow to his pride always doing their work.

Play The Music In his post For maximum Effect of what he's doing.
There wasn’t time to speak now was the time of action, with adrenaline coursing through his veins. The Tank kicked off moving in front of the attack his eyes not visible his body wasn’t moving and he took it straight on in the gut, sparks flew hell began the ground exploded. Stray sparks ripped into the sky but he didn’t move it didn’t penetrate his iron skin, no his steel skin. His eyes had no pupils anymore the mask on his face was glowing as it seemed to begin to exude raw power unlike any that had gone through him before , the attack it was stopped all that raw power was coming everywhere it seemed to be stopped along his gut as his teeth clenched veins begin to bulge in his head as he didn’t move his comrade was behind him the one which he had just made which was why the beast was beyond the time of giving a shit, the pure rage in his veins wouldn’t be sated anymore as his body seemed to begin to crackle the metal hardening even further as the ground below shattered it was him versus the rage of the demon but as he looked up, his eyes spoke of murder, pure murder.
That was why it was like something broke inside, something that couldn’t replaced it was seen as he let out a roar which broke buildings, it shattered the ground and blew up the attack from pure rage if nothing else, the ground exploding around him in raw black hollow energy and reitsu which blasted in every direction like a shockwave his body lighting up as slowly her fangs showed the monster had been released energy crackling the ground exploding his eyes not visible as his mask was covered in this unholy light but his rage rolled off beyond anger, his body spoke nothing but murder anymore as he had then with a roar which eclipsed the heavens spoke his voice crackling no longer the man he had once been, the true nature his animal side was rippling out asserting itself. He had yelled behind him , his words coming out in this horrifying side he had wanted to hide. His hollow nature and personality mixed with his own, but his resolve to kill had become more than ever.
“ LIVE YOU ASSHOLE WOMAN, GOD DAMMIT IF YOU GIVE UP NOW ON ME THEN WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN FIGHTING FOR? YOUR SORRY, WELL FUCK GIRL THAT MAN WOULD HAVE KILLED YOU. YOUR RESOLVE WOKE ME UP , YOUR DETERMINATION HAS INSPIRED ME. YET YOU NOW ARE PLAYING THE VICTIM, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE STRENGTH I ENVY? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GIRL WHICH MADE MY VERY BEING QUIVER? WAKE THE FUCK UP GIRL , PITY IS TO DIE, THIS IS NOT YOUR PLACE TO DIE, EITHER YOU CAN WALK OUT IN PRIDE, OR I WILL SHOULDER THIS FUCKING SADNESS.

IF YOUR SAD THEN FIGHT TO BE HAPPY, IF YOU CRY, THEN CRY AFTER YOU KNOW YOU WILL LIVE, THE TEARS OF THE DEAD DO NOTHING TO HELP YOU. IT’S THE TEARS OF THE LIVING WHICH INSPIRE CHANGE. SO DON’T GIVE UP HERE, GET STRONGER, STRONGER THEN ANYONE ELSE. GET THE STRENGTH TO CONTROL THESE TEARS, AND DIRECT THEM INTO STRENGTH. PROVE TO ME I WASN’T WRONG ABOUT YOU.

IF YOU DO THEN WHAT THE FUCK WILL EVERYONE ELSE SAY, IN THIS PRELUDE, THIS IS YOUR TIME, TAKE CHARGE AND FINISH IT. NOW GIRL GOD DAMMIT!!!!”
As He roared this he barreled forward his fist jerking forward the ground below him blowing sky high in his fury as his fist made contact with the weakened Demon’s and due to the demons weakened state it would be Extremely likely to contact further he was focused on shatari so the time he’d notice it’d be almost certainly too late, it would hit the chest of the demon, hakura’s own body seemed to glow with anger the fist itself carried more than enough force in his enraged state to destroy the city, the recoil of the mere strength behind it, blew away buildings, his own armor seemed to shatter slightly from its raw strength, he was beyond it, he was in pseudo ressureccion from his pure anger his teeth clenched and due to the time, it would be unhighly no extremely unlikely to dodge this, if it connected with the demons chest he would end up flying back, or about to. But he wasn’t going to let that happen, so the moment the punch his, his hands would spread digging into the demons chest, dragging him back shattering bone, as his other fist which was pulled back would jerk forward smashing into this face, and then again before he would fly back if the first punch had hit these would follow suit, his hand grabbing the males neck, as the previous fist yanked a chunk out of the mans chest and then slammed forward into the mans gut. His hand holding strong.
Each punch would break buildings, would shake ground, split open the heavens, and thrust into the sky, if that punch hit he would have then jumped up dragging the demon with him like a fucking avenging angel from heaven itself, the sky bursting as from the strength they had just went up atleast a mile, energy roaring blowing the clouds apart, like a weather knife had hit them, his fist continuously pummeling into the demons face, each strike would have enough force to cause shockwaves to ring out, his armor shattering with each hit, blood flying from his knuckles veins bulging, he’d keep punching and punching. Till they got to the top Then as they fell, his hand would jerk back the speed picking up, heat gathering on his skin the roughness of his armor causing flames to engulf them both. His teeth gritting as his narrowed pupils looked like fucking pin pricks in a sea of white. Just as they hit the ground his fist would jerk forward straight into the man’s face, a cero forming on it in the last second, probably blowing up everything in that mile radius. But shockwaves kept going, as if that hit he would be on top of the man now, punching him in the face over and over. Each punch bringing further shockwaves his veins bulging.
“YOU YOU FUCKING SICK BASTARD, PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE, DON’T TAKE IT OUT ON MY COMRADES IF THEY ARE WEAK DON’T ATTACK THEM IN THAT MOMENT, DO YOU HAVE ANY NUTS LEFT YOU FUCKING COWARD? IF YOU WANT TO ATTACK WAIT TILL THEY CAN FIGHT BACK , DO NOT HAVE THE INDECENCY TO EXPLOIT THAT WEAKNESS, BECAUSE IF YOU DO AND IM AROUND I WILL PROTECT THEM, AND I WILL HUNT YOU TILL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. YOU HAVE ANGERED ME YOU MAGGOT, I WILL BEAT YOU AND BEAT YOU, MAKE YOU BLEED AND BLEED, TILL YOU CRY, AND CRY, BUT IT WON’T SATE ME I WILL KEEP PUNCHING, KEEP BEATING YOU. KEEP BREAKING YOUR BONES, EVERY SNAP FROM YOUR BODY BRINGS ME PLEASURE, IT BRINGS ME GLEE, IT MAKES ME HAPPY, TO SEE YOU BLEED. BECAUSE YOU FUCKING PISSED ME OFF THIS WHOLE SITUATION IS BULLSHIT BACKWARDS, SO BECAUSE YOU PISSED ME OFF, I WILL SHOW YOU TRUE HELL, THERE IS NO HEAVEN FOR YOU TO RUN TOO, NO HELL FOR YOU TO ESCAPE, THIS FIST WILL BE YOUR JUDGEMENT , IT WILL BE YOUR EXECUTIONER, IT WILL BE YOUR END-GAME WITH THESE BLOODIED HANDS OF MINE, I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET YOUR ACTIONS. I WILL FUCKING END YOUR LIFE, DRAG YOU FROM THAT DEATH, AND KILL YOU AGAIN, YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO DIE, NO THAT WOULD BE TOO EASY NOW, I WILL TAKE PLEASURE IN POUNDING YOU TILL EVERY BONE BREAKS, EVERY LITTLE BIT OF YOUR BRAIN TURNS TO MUSH, IT DOESN’T MATTER TO ME, YOU WILL DIE I WILL KILL YOU. PREPARE FOR THE END YOU MISERABLE FUCKING DEMON ASSHOLE ! GO TO THE OBLIVION OF THE PAINFUL STING OF MY HAND!”
HE roared no he screamed his voice carrying a vibrating tremor through the ground as his hand clapped down almost certain to make contact now, it would light up, as now dust would begin exploding in waves from the hole, POINT blank cero’s being fired from his palm into the demons face, each one pounding them further and further into the earth, his mouth grit, his mask cracking with each hit, each strike brought further and further damage to the demon, his own hand and arm was on fire but it was almost like he didn’t even notice it. As they sank further into the ground his arm turned cherry red from the heat of continued cero’s. Power raw power was flowing through him as countless cero’s seemed to be exploding downwards his mind roaring with one solid though… ‘KILL HIM.. GIVE ME THE POWER TO KILL HIM, TO KILL HIM GIVE ME THE POWER TO KILL HIM, TO MURDER HIM, TO RIP HIM LIMB FROM LIMB, TO MAKE HIM DEAD, TO MAKE HIM GONE, TO MAKE HIM REGRET, TO MAKE HIM SING LIKE A FUCKIN BIRD, LET ME KILL HIM!!!’
It was that though that drove him as he kept firing cero’s the energy radiating was now exploding as gradually it had been getting stronger and stronger. Now the cero’s had passed their previous limits due to the raw rage flowing through his veins. His hand became unable to fire cero’s or feel anything but he let out a roar and now began to pull the demons head back and slam it down into the hole over and over. Over and over he slammed the head down, the hole continued to get deeper as lava was expanding everywhere now but he just kept roaring as his armor would have kept it at bay, it didn’t effect him and eventually the shockwaves closed the lava vents, as all he did was he kept pounding the demons head in the ground, over and over as his raged kept flaring. Until his wrist broke and then he drew his fist back smashing it into the demons head more shockwaves shaking through the ground as it repeated again.
“DIE YOU BASTARD DIE YOU SON OF A BITCH, DEATH ITSELF WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU SEE TODAY, I DON’T CARE IF I END UP BREAKING EVERY BONE IN MY BODY DOING THIS, UNLESS IM DRUG OFF YOU BY THAT GIRL I WILL KEEP POUNDING YOU INTO THE GROUND, UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD I WILL NOT STOP! YOU MOTHER FUCKER”
His mask was half shattered now from the raw force blood running from his mouth but he didn’t stop energy exploding in a solid pillar from the hole he looked more like a monster then ever as he bent up his shirt gone his red hair blowing up showing his finely tuned muscles and demonic face. Both hands clenched together as he began to roar louder bringing both fists down on his face causing a tremor which would make the ground around begin to collapse further. Then he’d pull his fist back and bring it down again into the demons neck, the ground shattering it was trembling it was screaming in pain but his rage wouldn’t abate as now he roared even louder and said in a voice which shook the ground and the sky itself. ”UNRESTRICTED PUNCH, DEVILS BARRAGE”
Taking his mastery of hakuda he’d have mixed it in with his own brute strength as energy of red color amassed forming horns on his fists before it would begin jerking down the amplified punch causing the buildings within a 2 mile radius to break from their roots as the ground itself had jumped. The first impact causing his nerves to go dead, as he brought back a second time, his muscles tensing fully it would have further shattered his armor on that arm, the explosion was immense as fire exploded from the hole, eclipsing the field of battle as that punch would have deep-end the hole another two miles his body rising from amidst the flames mask half shattered armor half broken, but he’d have thrown back his head and roared.
” WHO ELSE WANTS SOME HUH? I AM FUCKING TIRED WITH THESE GAMES, COME ON IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT, ILL FIGHT YOU IF YOU STILL WANT TO STAND IN THE WAY OF THIS GIRL I WILL POUND YOU INTO THE GROUND, I WILL RIP YOUR BONES, I WILL BREAK YOUR SOUL. FOR MAKING THIS GIRL CRY, FOR MAKING HER LOOSE HER PATH COME, I WILL FUCKING TAKE PLEASURE IN DESTROYING YOUR REALITIES OF WINNING WITH MY OWN HANDS, WITH THESE BLOOD STAINED HANDS, I WILL DESTROY AND MAKE A PATH FOR HER”
That roar seemed to shatter windows as energy exploded from him in a raw corona his eyes held nothing now but rage, they looked like the eyes of a murderer of someone which had slowly become hardened by rage, in fact the anger had forced him to release everything he had, which was why in his anger he’d have put his hand down, pointing towards the hole of fire he just made raw energy from his determination was given shape, it grew and then in a loud bang, exploded flying downwards one arm should have been broken but he still was moving it, he was beyond feeling pain. He was angry he never had been this angry before as he slowly landed he began walking forward as every remaining force of te monsuta seemed to get his attention, his foot kicking off as the ground exploded huge buildings flying in the air , his fist meeting the reserves head on, causing bodies to erupt in pillars of blood, which drenched his body, it seemed to not even phase him while his own energy seemed to be exploding even larger at this point his eyes held no compassion they held no pity, those where the eyes of a destroyer he held no sympathy for the plight as he slowly had walked towards shatari and his former comrade.
His expression wasn’t fully there but he looked at shatari and held his hand out still covered in blood his eyes looking at Nathan slowly as his words came out, echoing from the hollow within, but flat from the personality he held. They held no sympathy they merely had become the words of a destroyer, who was hellbent on destroying everything.
“Get stronger, next time we meet I will pound you into the ground. For now though its pretty clear who won here, you are alone, weak beaten. Scared, afraid, you don’t want to die. You aren’t ready to die, go find your woman go get stronger keep this in your heart; you should understand now your trigger and what you must do. If you stay here any longer with this new mentality of mine, I will destroy you. This is my last advice to you as your comrade as from now on we will be enemies “Monsuta Subordinante” Leave, and don’t look back, this war isn’t going to be won by you and your flimsy resolve. So survive and come back and fight when you are over your petty reservations.”
Now his head turned and focused on the man who he had just beaten the living fuck out of who probably was still in the hole, and if he wasn’t then hakura would just follow him and catch him, even if I meant he had to chase him back to what-ever hell hole he came from, and his words rose loud enough if he was alive he should be able to hear him fine.
” IF YOU ARE ALIVE , THEN STAY THERE IF YOU COME OUT AND CONTINUE TO FIGHT, I WILL NEXT TIME RIP YOUR LIMBS OFF, AND THEN TURN YOUR HEAD AND BODY TO ASH, YOU FUCKING COWARD SCUM. “ Then he’d turn his head towards shatari, looking at her his own appearance like a hellish angel of death, scorch marks, and blood, eyes in pin pricks, mask and armor half shattered. Yet none of it seemed to be bothering him, as he continued to hold his hand out, his voice level as it was still in that mode, but it almost seemed to hold as much compassion as a monotonous beyond angry voice of his could hold.
”Come on, we still have work to do if you still want to fight than come on either get up or grab this bloodied hand of mine. There isn’t time for me to coddle you or wipe my own hand off, its time for action this battle is almost over, the question is am I ending things for you or are you going to make those people who you care for proud? Are you going to fight till the end, because either way I’m not letting you loose this because you’re having second thoughts, you can hate me for it, but save your tears for after we win ok?”
Now if anyone attacked him while he was saying this? They would certainly incur his un restricted wrath with this new heightened level of power he now bore. So what would happen next?
Haku thought this was finally it the ultmate killer was dying yet again his body ravaged and power was completely gone close to death this was unbelievable. The killer of Kade Hiroshima was finally going to get his just desserts after all still the demon wizard wasn't afraid of death anymore it was very weird his life flashng before his very eyes something very rare. The wizard thought this wasn't going to be the end still the demon had one final card to play the demon couldn't move with the last of his power. He called Syn it had been a while since his fight with Hanako but the demon girl didn't really care for her master until now this was important. Syn appeared by her master's side and then the demon woman was shock the demon was dying this wasn't a prank either his lifeforce was fading too. Hagokumo started removing the Lich King's helm slowly telling Syn who she should give it to his penance for everything the demon has done. She was crying too about the whole thing but he told her everything the wizard done up to this point and necessary his plans were coming into fruition. The demon's evil plan won't end with his death the prophecy foretold the fallen one's return even though it was just a mere legend the wizard played his card.
With the last on his power, Haku teleported back into the demon world started coughing up blood his power were gone. Near some mountains, Haku finally closed his eyes the demon murderer was dead finally one of the world greatest enemies was finally gone again. Syn was given her instructions placing the dead body in a coffin and taken it to undisclosed location when evil intentions can begin.....
