Super Mega Ultra Hit Squad Alpha[SMUHA]

Kamui moved faster than Hayden could directly attack him it seemed, this mean he would have to cause a indirect attack towards Kamui. This man was fast faster than what Hayden was used to doing and frankly it annoyed and excited the fallen soldier. When dealing with challenging foes you could never be certain what was going to happen but he was sure this man intended to drag this out till they could come up with a solution that beat this problem. Hayden however was a man of action so he unlike some people would vary his attacks trying to manipulate them to their utmost limits to figure out the key to this; but at the same time he would need to utilize his friends movements and attacks to do so. None the less by now Kamui was posted on top of the ceiling beginning to express his interest on Hayden and Ash powers, a small chuckling escaping Hayden’s lips.

“I would not be so quick to judge..!” Hayden exclaimed loudly as he manipulated the death matter that had failed it’s attempt to form a barrier around Kamui, instead from his hand on the ground it would shoot out touching the barrier connecting it directly to him as he willed the death matter to pulse before exploding in glomps. Using the time afforded by Ash actions the goop like death matter he exploded it outwards in a way it would coat the room in large sticky spots of death matter. It would avoid his team mates by his will alone and while not directly heading for him there was a few glops simply flying at him, should they hit him they would stick to him slowing his movements. Should he dodge however he’d find his movement limited should he not want to step in the death matter, the dark energy connected to his own. Should Kamui repeatedly step in this glops it would slow him down before snagging him eventually- while it limited the movement of everyone save for Hayden, it would allow them to perhaps get a solid hit on Kamui.

By this time it seemed Zero was using Hayden’s own signature element to send a bolt of lightning towards Kamui, he thought it may be good to aid this. Hayden was ideally the only one able to keep up with Kamui movements and perhaps even be able to counter a few due to how close their speed was. Yet Kamui still had a gap on him when it came to raw speed, so should he move Hayden would attempt to try to change the direction of the lightning through the death matter energy now simply floating freely in the air now that his body was producing it and he had coated the room with pools of it. It would a subtle change of direction if he could due to the limited time frame but it could keep Kamui moving and if Kamui kept moving at high speeds there was the chance he would HAVE to step within the pools sooner or later. The idea behind this attack and action was to keep him moving at such high speeds that he would lose his focus and step in the pools.

For his final action Hayden would stand up removing his hand from the ground before raising both his hands before him as he pulled a old page from his kido book. Reiatsu began to channel within his palms before pushing forward floating slightly as it began to repeat this process before around him lay eight balls of crackling lightning like Kido. He wasn’t quite feeling tired yet but there was a small very miniscule amount of strain coming onto him from all the sudden switches in moves and strange uses in his death matter. For the final part to finalize the custom kido spell he would yell the incantation of the Kido.

“Hear the first Roar of the Dragon!”

As Hayden yelled this despite if Kamui was moving or not he would use his enhanced vision and mastery over focus to begin to grip the balls quickly sending them at such high speeds he was breaking the sound barrier using the higher end of his speed and focus to send them at him. Should he be heat for him it would simply feel like minor numbing but running on a numb leg could prove difficult and if multiple hit him he would be slowed, this was all intended to keep him moving through the goop and even if he let it hit him the same result would be found.

The strange part about this was it worked all upon the team unison, this strategy would utilize the randomness of their Wildcard but at the same time allow Ash some rest or even to open a portal that may be able to catch the man through all his movements. Despite the speed and ability Kamui possessed it was only fair to assume if you throw him off or even restrict him in some way his speed and ability to attack would be decreased. This wasn’t a textbook style of attacking they had used previously, Hayden had got a feel for his team mates and now that he had changed their arena perhaps they could set up some more combinations. Then again.. this wasn’t the time to get cocky.

Flashes of light, fifty of them to be exact, would be the reprisal Kamui offered young Ash. At the outset, it was something of a disappointment. The girl slash boy slash thing slash amorphous blob had attempted to use one of these depraved tentacles already and Kamui was not sure why Ash thought that when one failed that simply upping the number of projectiles was going to accomplish anything. It wasn't. Don't misunderstand, in normal situations simply upping the number of threats to deal with was an adequate approach to dealing with a problem, however Ash was not fighting in a normal situation. She was up against a being who at this particular moment in time far outstripped her in terms of capability. A rudimentary approach to the situation was not the correct one, simple mathematics were not going to defeat Kamui. However, by the same token, young Ash's attack could not be viewed in a vacuum. He/she/it was part of a whole and that was, overall, the message he was trying to instill in these three. If he wanted them to start looking at themselves as a unit he had better start doing so himself as well.

As the tentacles all converged on his position, Kamui leveled his Umbrella toward the incoming wave. It was one of his greatest abilities and one that was kind of understated in the scheme of things. Most Magi, regardless of their race, typically need some kind of incantation or sequence to usher forth magic in to this world, Kamui does not. Kamui bypasses the need for incantation altogether with his Fuuinjutsu and consequently spells that would typically require you to scream awkwardly about a peeved overgrown lizard can be done far more quickly. Kamui spun the the umbrella lightly in a circle as the tentacles encroached as small, red petals flowed out in to the air from the umbrella, quickly layering each petal over top one another. When the tentacles were about to reach him, the petals exploded outward, gaining the inside track on each incoming tentacles and then quickly expanding outward the concentrated mass of petals, scratching the surface of what kind of magical power Kamui was capable of. The mass of petals would knock away the incoming tentacles and then would proceed to lacerate and shred them if given the chance. The tentacles were rather interesting though. Was it an inter-dimensional creature that young Ash was conjuring through those portals or was he/she/it merely generating the appendages themselves and hurling them at him? While curious, it didn't have much bearing on this particular altercation and Kamui would simply have to save the thoughts for later.

The part that came next was however EXACTLY why he should not view things in a vacuum. Kamui was forced to use what petals he had not used to diffuse the incoming tentacles to block off the globs of death matter that Hayden had launched up at him, obstructing the exploding material just enough that while it sprayed itself on to bits of the wall around him, he had prevented himself from coming in to direct contact with it. The death matter that did connect with the petals quickly began to corrode though and the magical energy that he had put in to the petals had diminished, the glob falling back to the floor in the process. He did not have much time to react though. It was the right decision and one he was glad to see them make. When faced with an opponent who seemed rather centered on speed, the first step was to limit his capacity for movement. Trying to pin Kamui's rather spritely movements would take more than spraying his goo all over the place, but the sentiment was there and it did limit his options even still. As such, Kamui would entertain it for now and would choose to not move. He'd let them play out their tactic and see just how well they could actually put him down once they caught him there. The first attempt at that was a lightning bolt. So fire and lightning then? She didn't seem to truly be manipulating forces at a molecular level, which in turn most likely meant her influence was strictly related to elemental manipulation...but just how many was she capable of. A soft click of his tongue left him as he was forced to do something he did not want to do. As the bolt shot toward him, Kamui's umbrella fell and his arm extended out toward the bolt of electricity. It seemed for a moment that the attack had hit his hand and that they had achieved their assignment...and then nothing visibly happened. Not more than a moment later however, the spot where Kamui had moved to a few moments prior suddenly exploded...as if struck by a bolt of lightning. Energy was easier to move than solid objects, but he still didn't like having to resort to such things and the attack had effectively destroyed the seal he had placed earlier to avoid it. However, the hand still holding his umbrella had afforded him to opportunity to deflect the current follow up.

As Kamui had reacted to the bolt of lightning, the Umbrella in his hand had shifted down to his side and emitted a bright and almost blinding light as the Umbrella began to shift. In less than a millisecond the form had shifted, the Umbrella seemingly replaced itself with a luminescent blade of energy. Hayden's spell would be cut through a moment later as it finished closing on him and unlike what the reaction most likely should have been from a sword hitting a spell, the magic itself seemed to dissolve. Kamui's sword seemed to destroy the very fabric of the magic it cut through, dispersing and deflating any destructive potency that Hayden's Kido may have had. The attacks had seemed done for the moment and Kamui let a soft sigh escape from him, his sword gently angled down toward the trio.

"Good good, limit the quick's range of motion and tie them down. Smart. Now how do you get through an immovable object?"

Their attacks proved quite useless once more. Only to be deflected or avoided once again by Kamui, a man who far exceeded the group's current power. Another issue present was that... They hadn't quite hit the mark for teamwork yet, or at least, enough to overcome this daunting task. Ash was sure she could get rougher to the point that Kamui might slip up enough for Hayden or Zero to land a strike but... That was something she decided would only be a last resort if they were in risk of failing this test. The main issue now was simply the realization that nothing they did struck Kamui.

Her attempt as immobilizing him failed once again, but seemed to have at least caused him to give a greater effort than before. Petals flowing out from the umbrella to decimate her own attack after deflecting it. It was honestly a rather beautiful display as ribbons of the corrupted, tainted eldritch flesh fell down to the ground and seemingly melted away, if they weren't already destroyed by the mass of petals first. The rift that brought for the attack snapped shut and left no traces of ever existing, and Ash was starting to get fairly strained from all of this. Her allies didn't seem to fare much better, Hayden actually causing Kamui to try even harder than before along with Zero's help.

Blobs were avoided, electricity left useless. What were they supposed to do in order to land a blow? How else would anyone be able to leave a scratch upon this man's body without needing to essentially blow up the entire area? Wait... Maybe that would be the secret to how to defeat him. At least, that would be the cause if this was still simply about hitting him. A new boast was set upon the joined together band of fighters. To blast through an immovable object... Usually, in most situations, it would be best to move around the object. That seems to be, at the very least, the best option. However, that wasn't an option when in this case, the goal -was- to hit the same exact object that's been avoiding their attacks all this time.

Energies began to swirl around Ash once more, but rather... This time it didn't seem to be eldritch in nature. Rather, it was Chaos Energy, something akin to most Iramasha that many used for feats similar to magic. Already, she began to bark out what her plan was. "Hayden! I'm limiting his places to move, I need you to either slip into the barrier with him or get an attack in there that he can't dodge her block! Zero, please help with this too!" The high pitched voice sounded a little unfit for giving out orders, but it was the best shot she personally thought they had in this predicament.

Soon, a faint, pink energy began to surround Kamui, just large enough to fit the man inside and Hayden's bulk if he planned to join him in melee range or simply launch an attack. The energy solidified as a barrier formed around him, completely cutting off any way of escaping that small dome that contained him. Energy siwrled around, tightly knit together to specifically defend against attacks far greater than it. Attacks that could destroy people in a singular hit. A small, spiraling beam shot out of Ash's hands as she focused right on the barrier created around Kamui. Her plan right now was to contain him enough so that the others could focus, eyes darting to her allies, ready to make an opening for them to send out an attack through it just encase they were a bit late on the draw.

So little Ash decided to take charge, this was good he didn’t want to throw his own authority or rank around so he was glad the son of his leader was taking the initiative he wanted to get into the battle. This caused a slight smirk on the face of The Fallen Soldier now that they were getting serious, his blood was flowing and it was quite exhilarating to get into this battle. He had a few tricks in mind when it came to getting in close to Kamui but they had limited his range of movements thankfully so now Hayden could do his more up close and personal work; even if he got his ass kicked it was better to get in tight for the moment it seemed to accomplish their goals. But before he could do that he must let his teammates know what he was planning to do- quickly at that.

“Aye, Gotcha!” He informed them but kept a shroud of mystery least he alert Kamui to what he was planning, now it was time to take the proper precautions to deal with this battle. It was time to show what it meant to literally be mind over matter in this regard. The Vizard feet widen briefly but quickly as he closed his hands into balled fist that began to to emit a smoke from them, his muscles contracting as they began to grow more defined and tight strange enough- his whole body emitting a heavy smoke from the speed his muscles were working and the durability required was enough for Hayden to maintain this increase in his muscle usage and potency. You see he was currently utilizing a nifty ability called ‘body control’. He was able to manipulate every aspect of his body technically cosmetic or otherwise if he so wished but he mostly used it for was increasing his strength and speed temporarily something that he needed to do to shock Kamui if only for a second. It was time to rock and roll this show.

When Hayden foot dug into the ground a puff of smoke kicked out and dirt as he literally disappeared for a second for his team mates at least. The only thing that was left was a afterimage as he moved at speeds that required a high level of control and power to muster only people on Kamui and Hayden level of speed could recognize. Unlike Kamui earlier who disappeared with grace, Hayden speed was raw power that was refined into a work horse that while not as ‘pretty’ as Kamui may be more destructive in it’s nature as he broke the sound barrier causing the room to reverberate for a second as he entered into Mach 14 feeling his muscles strain- similar to a man sprinting a quick dash. The amount of time to reach Kamui wouldn’t take very long but Hayden mind entered into ‘Focus’ Mode as his increased the operating power of his eyes to give him a slight edge.

When Hayden reached Kamui his elbow would extend as if he intended to simply tackle the man and punt him, should the elbow land Hayden would push his elbow into his chin before switching his feeting to allow his left hand to outstretch to grip Kamui right arm to keep them up tight and close. But chances are he could dodge this attack so if he attempted to Hayden would stop on the dime, something that his muscles would protest but he could do none the less as a strain was felt in his ankles a literary trail of smoke would kick up. This would allow for him to stop as soon as his eyes picked up any form of counter attack or dodge in which Hayden would respond by using his Hakuda Technique ‘Luce Celeritate’ which basically as a kick aimed at the back of the knee joint that could easily dislocate the joint due to Hayden aiming for a very small point and placing a obscene amount of force there. Even if he missed and clipped the leg the amount of rawr strength going into the kick could break someone’s in half.

Despite if these two attacks landed Hayden would begin to crouch low almost as he eye’d Kamui with a intent to harm him, in his eyes was the telltale signs of murderous intent. It was like the man was possessed by a new force that only cared to see Kamui laying bloody and broken at his feet the smoke coming from him was getting heavier just from the amount of speed and force he was applying to his body. Black shadows would explode from his back as he reached out for Kamui with his his hand to grip his face rather violently if he could- but despite this the black shadows would begin to dance towards Kamui as a extension of Hayden. Should Kamui go left because Hayden is attacking his right they will meet him on the left or vice versa. For a brief moment Kamui would see a purple tint to Hayden’s eyes as he allowed himself to give into his surge of murderous intent- the overwhelming emittance of death leaking from every move and attack he made with or without the shadows of death matter. Should they get a hold of him they will remain on tightly pulling him to him causing more to take their place should he destory them but also keeping the two close and tight- Hayden was moving on Kamui level of speed afterall with attacks and otherwise; at least unaugmented it seemed.
