[Pre-Event] The Doppleganger from Kokuryuteshi

Just what in the world was happening on the front lines? That was the first thing that came to mind when Koichi began getting words of his own wife attempting to plan an assasination attempt on his life as he stood upon a very familiar The Iramasha Prison within the Iramasha Town Center. It was all too fitting that he would be in such place as this was the very same prison that he once rescued Hanako from to defy the order of the Iramasha Clan. Though, there wasn't much time to reminisce much about the past. Making use of his Chaos Sync, Koichi was getting a stream of information from a group of men who had just encountered Hanako Yadomaru Iramasha and some rouge kid who happened to act out on Hanako's defense...only to get himself killed in the line of duty. It was all too much for Koichi to bare as he couldn't stay on the sidelines anymore. He was advised by higher-ups in the clan to stay away from this scene and let other Iramashas handle it as with previous instances with Hanako, but when you add his men to the mention, blood flying all over the battlefield and all of this madness being connected to his wife; he had no other choice but to act against those wills.

So, on his call, Koichi had decided that it would be best to summon some of his elite warriors to his side once more. Making use of his hidden realm that stored an untold amount of equipment, The Iramasha Guard Leader was able to materialize a large scroll that was roughly the size of household dining table. From there Koichi would go on throw this scroll on to the center of the building as it seemed blank for the time being. "I'm going to need to figure out the full scope of this story. There has to be more to it then Hanako randomly getting the urge to want to kill me. I can't phantom why she would want to do such a thing." Taking a soft sigh, Koichi would then slam his right palm into the center of this scared scroll as dozens of odds symbols began appearing across it that seemed to be radiating in a white glow. "I'm sure this must have something to with the likes of those damned Sin Fall beast, K-World beast or some type of failure of communication."

Trying to assure himself that everything is going to turn out fine at the end of day, Koichi jumped on his instincts and used this sacred scroll in order to summon five warriors who were apart of Koichi's Elite Task Force. All of them had on a long, hooded black cloaks that had the Iramasha Clan's symbol on the back of them engraved in white. In addition to that, they also had on black colored masks in order to hide their true faces. "Lord Koichi," The middle one spoke, "We have been informed of the matters at hand and have prepared ourselves for your summoning. Please begin the Chaos Sync so we can know what your orders are, sir!" And with that said, all of the summoned figures turned towards Koichi's direction in order to figure out what their leader was going to do for them. "Very well, let's begin. We don't have much time to waste!"

Thus, inside the inner works of this select group of Iramasha, Koichi began discussing the kind of task these warriors would have to endure throughout the course of this troubling day. "Here is what we know about the situation: Sometime within the past ten minutes one of my elite guards, Valencia Ross, had received a report about an attempted assassination plot against myself. Shortly following that report, Hanako was last seen at the Entrance Gates of the Iramasha Clan where my men were preparing to capture her and bring her into capacity." Taking a brief moment to pause, Koichi began displaying imagines of Shizuo beginning his fight against the Iramasha Guards and killing them in the process of it. "That is, before this wild card showed up. This rouge kid had apparently been at the scene before his untimely death and most likely assumed that my men were going to do harm to Hanako. Therefore, judging from this tape, he was acting in self-defense as hostile and rash as his actions were." Sighing now, Koichi had really hoped this kid wouldn't have jumped into the brawl as there was no need for the kind of short-lived brutal force he gave this men.

Taking another momentary pause, Koichi blocked off some of his thoughts from the Iramasha Elite in front of him in order to think about just what he was going to have to tell their soldiers families. Really...they weren't even expecting to go into an all-out war situation at this time in the day. No one from any of the organizations the Iramasha Clan were currently fighting against had any plans to attack anytime soon, so it's going to be rather difficult to explain to these men's families that they died in the line of duty on homeland soil. Sighing once more, Koichi knew he was going to have this blood on his hands for awhile as he should have been there for his wife, guards and even that kid who got himself killed in the line of fire. All of this could have been prevented if he had just acted earlier instead of being asked to sit this fight out from beginning.

Clenching his teeth a bit, Koichi listened very closely to the last words that Hanako spoke before she had fled from the scene thanks in part to a seal he placed in her body long ago. "Dammit..." From what he could gather, she sounded very remorseful and begged for forgiveness while hoping Shizuo could be revived in his hands. Making what he felt earlier sync that much deeper into his soul, Koichi began to walk away from the elite force of Iramasha gathered as they looked on with the utmost urgency in their masked eyes. In a fit of concreted rage, Koichi let out a brief yell which resulted in him gathering his natural beast like strength in order to punch a giant hole in a vacant building that was positioned right next to the Iramasha Jailhouse; sending enough force into that punch to have the entire building crumble and shatter in the span of ten seconds as dust, debris and immense vibrations shook the entire area from Koichi's might.

"Sir Koichi..." The Iramasha Elite on the far right end spoke as she witnessed some of his immense power being put to work on the tall building that once stood there not too long ago. Holding his non-bruised fist in the air, Koichi slowly had the waves of anger fade away from his face long enough to interact with them on a civil level. So, with that in mind, he let out a soft sigh as he turned back around towards his followers and stood firmly at front and center. "Sorry..." Koichi said alone as he closed his eyes, "...let us continue." And with that, Koichi reconnected the proper channels inside of all of their heads in order to proceed onward with the meeting. "Now...this is the part where I want you to pick up the pieces of this accident. Gendo..." Nudging his head forward at the center man, Koichi carried on with his instructions, "I'm going to ask that you go out and secure the scene. I want that entire area sealed off from the general public before word gets out about what occurred to the entire clan. So far, this incident is only known by those who are within the Iramasha Gurad and information of this incident is going to be HEAVILY restricted."

With that said, the middle man knew his orders well and used Chaos Warp to instantly disappear. For the duration of this night, he would be seen around the Iramasha Entrance gates keeping anyone who wasn't in the Iramasha Guard away from the situation. Moreover, he used his advanced skill of Chaos Energy in order to place a small barrier where the death's of Shizuo and the Iramasha Guards had taken place. "Hemeshi and Tebi..." Taking a look at the woman who had previously spoken on the far right alongside someone else who had been standing next to her, Koichi would then go on to give his directions for them. "...I'm going to need you to be my eyes and hears as far as what is occurring in all the Royal Sectors in the Iramasha Village. If you see any funny business going on, I want you to report it. By the end of this night, I want to make sure all the Royal's and any sector of the Iramasha Clan that has no business in my affairs is kept in the dark about this. Please, go!"

Knowing just how urgent this task might be, the two of them needed their heads and faded off into the night as all but two of them remained at this point. "Yomeshi and Tomeshi..." Koichi spoke, turning his body in the direction of where the fight was currently taking place. "...you are going to go with me to the front lines." And with that, all three of them activated Chaos Warp simultaneously in order to appear by Valencia Ross's side in a dim flare of light; much darker then most Iramasha's typical flash when they perform their Chaos Warp.

Looking dead serious at this point, Koichi would turn around to Valenica's direction. "I saw what happened here...how could this have happened..." Clenching his teeth once more, Koichi got to see the devastation first hand as he walked swiftly past his Elite Guard member, getting on knee to inspect the corpse of on his fallen men. "...how could I have failed...." Taking a soft sigh, The Iramasha Guard Leader would put his right palm over the eyes of his deceased comrade and close them as he didn't even have time to die peacefully. Glancing over towards the corpse of blonde haired man, Koichi wasn't quite sure what feelings he would hold, but by Hanako's word he swore he would revive him in some kind of fashion. If his father could manipulate the dead, so could he dammit.

"Alright..." Standing up on both of his feet, Koichi looked up towards the sky with flare burning in his was searching for answers he could not find. "...this entire operation is being put in my hands. No one is getting in or out of here without me knowing about. Do you hear me?" Glancing at everyone who was around, Koichi nodded his head and then looked in the direction of where Hanako was last seen running off. "Listen up! Everything that has been witnessed here is now falling under the category of a classified incident and nobody here is going to say a peep about the assassination attempt, the murders our covering up!" Putting his authority and power as The Iramasha Guard Leader, Koichi stood firmly amiss the sea of never ending questions about this night and one final hurrah:

"This place is officially on lock down!"

(Eh, this post is kind of going to be half-assed since I wasn't feeling it like I had originally thought when I entered this thread. But, since UHCM needed me, I am going to finish up this thread to the best of my ability no matter what and keep my word.)

Detecting Dr.Hebi's presence even before he had arrived in the area, Koichi was already preparing for his entrance based on the fact his canine-like instincts had picked up on traces of this freak's coming long before he made himself known to most in the area. So, as a precaution, Koichi would be ready to strike this unknown person attempted to do any type of foul moves within the the next few moments as he'd go on to witness to this snake like creature beginning to materialize himself from the ground itself. Not paying too much attention from his elaborate entrance other then to find any sort of hostility or secret move, The Iramasha Gurad's Leader began to have his hound like senses kick in as he started to realize that this person was rather..familiar. After taking a moment to register his scent and a bit closer at his physical frame, if Koichi didn't know any better, this would be the caretaker of his children: Kabuto Iramasha. Raising his eyebrow slightly, but still keeping his cool, Koichi would watch this man closer as he began to step closer towards him as his interest was now focused on this man.

"If you aren't an enemy, then you'd better tell me who you are right now. I know for certain the person standing in front of me is not Kabuto Iramasha, yet your bodies entire make up is screaming to my senses that you are him. I'm not sure what is going on here, but I'm expecting some answers!" Said Koichi as he stood firm on this stance, but decided to watch just what this man was about to do with the boy when he something along the lines of helping him. Thinking back to what Hanako had wished, The Iramasha Leader let out an irritated sigh when he phased back into reality in order to deal with the task at hand with this mystery stranger who had appeared to obtained some sort of fragment of Kabuto. Nothing was certain, so all lone wolf could do was look on at what was occurring before him until all was made clear to him.

It really wasn't his style to wait, as without Hanako's influence, Koichi would have undoubtedly seized this person in some kind of way. So, only by Hanako's word was this man saved from his hasty thoughts. "Any type of funny business other then trying to assist my men or the blonde haired kid, and I will not hesitate to rip your skull into pieces." Spoke Koichi towards Dr.Hebi in order to make the situation he was in more much more clear in order to prevent any type of additional mishaps from occurring tonight. After all, not even Koichi wanted even more bodies piling up tonight, so he had hoped this strange man would heed his warning as all The Iramasha Leader had happened to be after tonight was a sense of control on this dicey set of circumstances that had fallen on his head, trying to abide by his wife's desires and trying to cope with the lost of his men. And so, baring all these thoughts in mind, Koichi had decided to concrete on whatever this Dr.Hebi had happened to be doing to the poor kid who got his loop chopped off in combat.

'Just what in the world is that energy I am detecting? I better start gathering information on everything is going on to decipher later.' Thought The Iramasha Guard Leader to himself as he instantly began activating a silent Chaos Spell in order to monitor everything in the environment from the confines of his head and eyes that would display the different types of energy in the area, to the different people that Koichi was currently aware whom were in the vicinity, syncing this spell with his enhanced instincts in order to display what each race was on the people that came into view with The Iramasha Leader and more types of intel waiting to be unlocked once Koichi would sync this info fully with those higher up within the Royal Devil by making them experience this moment as Koichi himself would when all was said and done. So, more likely then not, everything that would go down from this point onward would surely wind up on Ketsu Iramasha's lap later on in the night.

In any case, like most around Koichi, they were clearly surprised when Shizuo had been brought back to life. In Koichi's case, this was mostly because most people who could revive those who had passed on either had some sort of connection to Death's Energy, Soul Manipulation or other similar power set. Therefore, when Dr.Hebi had "successfully" brought the formerly deceased Shizuo back to life, it was no doubt that Koichi was going to have a handful of questions for him before focusing back on the task of getting this kid safely back into Hanako's hands. "Whoever you are, you obviously must have some knowledge either related to DE Force, Soul Manipulation or some kind of other power. If you aren't here to be our enemy, would you mind clearing things up for me about how you brought this kid to life?" Glancing at Shizuo, Koichi had a strange sense of relief mixed together with caution as he knew not to let his guard down with this mysterious person.

"I'm sorry, sir."

Those words, however, brought Koichi back to the gravity of the overall situation as he turned some of his concretion back on to this Elite Iramasha Guard. Maintaining his eyes on both Dr.Hebi, Shizuo AND Valencia; The Iramasha Leader would proceed to listen in on what she had to say to him about the incident that caused this chain of events for the night. Sighing a bit, all Koichi had to say was this to his follower; "From everything that has occurred here tonight, I really don't care. The only thing we have to focus on now is picking up the pieces of where everything went wrong. The boy is being revived, Hanako has left the island, my men are dead and some snake-eyed version of Kabuto Iramasha is standing right in front of us. I'm not sure what to make of most of this, but I know we have our work cut out ahead of us for this long, enduring and tireless night." And with that, Koichi would turn his head towards the newly revived Shizuo in order to tune in to anything he was trying to say.

"Do you really think I'm going to allow anymore violence to befall any of my team on this night? I understand that you have passed on, but I'm not going to idly sit by and watch this play out anymore." So, with those words spoken, Koichi used his reflexes in order to activate his Chaos Warp to appear directly in front of Valencia Ross in order to block Edo Shizuo's punch with just his bare hands. Proceeding to listen to what Shizuo had to say afterwards, Koichi could only frown as he had more motive then any other person here to be upset with everything that transpired tonight, yet he was doing his best to keep a calm head for the sake of everyone here. "Listen here, kid, I am aware that she came here most likely looking for me. I am her husband, Koichi Iramasha. From every person that has gathered here, I am the only one who should be flying off the handle for allowing any of this to happen tonight; yet I'm doing my best to keep a level-headed outlook. I recommend you tone the anger down, or you'll deal with me myself. I was the one who was put in charge of reviving you, after all." And with those words exchanged, Koichi would look onward towards Shizuo's direction as he began to fade into the darkness of the night confused at his new found circumstances undoubtedly.

"Wherever you end up going, I want you to check in with Hanako to confirm that you are alive. That is all I task of you and I will deal with you myself in matters of my men when I find you." And so, before he could fully leave, Koichi had crafted a microscopic Chaos Spell that would be extremely hard to detect in order to hopefully attach a small dog head inside of Edo Shizuo's body in order to track him. This could not be tempered with easily as due to it's small size it was as durable as Kenpachi Zaraki, it's position was prefixed within his body and it was rather difficult to take out physically or through special abilities. Koichi had performed this move in order to share his cooridnates with Hanako so that they may both meet up when the time is right in order to discuss everything leading up to tonight's events.

So, with that hopefully taken care of, Koichi would turn his direct attention towards Dr.Hebi only. "So, Snake Man, just why are you here? Who are you? And what do you want from us? I'm not just going to let you go that easily after bringing back one of our former enemies. If you can simply answer this series of questions, I assure you no harm will befall you tonight." Folding his arms, Koichi began to step closer towards Dr.Hebi as he was prepared to give chase to him at any given moment he decided to flee from the scene. "And moreover, tell me, is there anyway you can do the same for my fallen men?" Asked Koichi, glancing towards the pile of dead bodies around them from the encounter with Shizuo before stopping directly in front of The Doctor.
