Training new power

Youka would walk over to Kira and hopefully she would make this quick. He would get to work on her mark via digging into her flesh causing her to bleed again nd draw the symbol in her blood on her chest again. He was honestly just outlining her previous mark with the new drawing, it was simple but he had to do it seriously because a mess up would more than likely kill her if she tried to activate it by her heart exploding.

It only would take moments if she allowed it to be done quickly without stopping him or being embarrassed about their surroundings. "Now can we continue" he would ask.

She nodded to youka, unzipping the Savar suit and allowing it to fall freely from her shoulders and down to hang at her side as one arm held her breasts from sight. The process was incredibly quick as he cut into her, causing a wince of burning pain, and then drew the symbol. When he was finished she drew the suit back up to fasten it back into place, calling her shadows back out to point at the people gawking at her menacingly. 

    "Alright. I assume these have to be activated the same way? Lets do this then....." She would stand up to set her possition an equal distance between the two of them as they were to each other, creating a triangle of combatants. THe shadow circle at her feet shifted and twisted as the eyes stretched to see everything in her surroundings and the mouthes turned their corners in an excited grin. She wasn't sure if they were actually going all out as she hadn't actually been there when they started so she would follow their lead.

"Thanks babe"  Maku would say patting Charlotte on the bum, as she walked away with the empty glass in her hands.  He watched as Youka did his seal stuff, and he waited.  This should be an interesting spar, with all three of them.  The question would become which is the strongest.  Between Youka with his threads from hell, and Kira with her shadows of incredible annoyance, it would truly be an interesting fight.  And what could Maku do, he didn't have any special powers from birth, and he already knew he wasn't going to use his visual genjutsu, just cause he didn't feel like it.  So what would his strategy be this time.  It no longer could be a straight up fisticuffs fight, not with Kira around, so his whole strategy would have to change.  Could he let them battle each other and swoop in, or would he have to be the instigator.  

Damnt, he just wasn't sure what to do.  All three were equal distances, creating a perfect triangle of combatants.  Each member 20 meters from the other.  Summoning a spinning blade in each hand, he waited to see who would move first.  He would react accordingly, and strike were he needed to.  His speed was key, and it would be what kept him safe.  However he would have to keep an eye on the ground for shadows and an eye to Youka for threads.  The whir of the blades were music to his ears as his chakra caused them to spin.  The snow fell lightly, and Maku waited for one of them to move to act.

This spar had just turned back into what it was the first time they fought. All three of them were now looking at each other from a distance of 20 meters to see who would react first. 20 meters was the perfect distance for Youka to stay where he was and attack both of them, maybe they had forgotten about how far his threads could reach. He hummed to himself inside his armor as he thought about what his best choice of movement would be. It hit him as an obvious choice once he had thought on it for merely a few moments.

Raising his arms from their sides he would hold them about 5 inches away from his hips and the armor gauntlets covering his hands would retract back to show his finger tips and his bare skin. Youka's palm would rip as threads shot forth to a full length of 3 meters on each hand they formed two threaded swords in each hand that he grasped at the base of his threads. He would be able to manipulate them fully at any point that he made contact with either of them.

He also formed a rather sneaky strategy that he didn't think his other friends knew about yet.Kneeling in the snow he would place his whole left arm under it as it was pretty deep. Moving one of his hearts to the arm he would allow it to detatch from his body and begin it's decent under the ground and about 15 meters towards the group. Youka would turn his armor back on to his arms so they wouldn't see he was missing one and he would use his infinite threads in his arms to replace where his arm used to be and control that side with them.

The arm was only 1 meter deep in the ground and as it moved forward so did Youka to keep his chakra being the main one watched just incase they could sense another presence. With this he would be able to fight both of them while focusing on one of them each. Youka chose to attack Maku himself and he began the charge to clear the other 5 meters between them flourishing his threaded swords at the young leader, if left undefended they would hit their mark across his chest in an "x" shape.

He wouldn't acknowledge Kira in attempt to lure her to attack first and his arm would react accordingly from the ground to ambush her.

Youka was moving. She watched the scene unfold, deciding to strike first. She closed her eyes as Youka's hand touched down against the earth. A hundred things passed through her head all at once but the loudest was what she was determined to follow. He had said upon their first fight that her style was too defensive. He pushed her to attack, though at the time her fear and weakness help her blows and clouded her mind. Now, however, she was more confident and determined to prove herself to the two who protected her for so long. Five shadow tendrils formed up beside her, three to her left and one to her right and the wicked mouthed beneath her feet quickly climbed up the three dimensional shadow constructs, stopping about half way to open up and smile at te crowd. She took a single step, her hands dropping into the ram sign once more to activate her body flicker just after she called on the power of her speed increasing technique once more. Youka was fast and powerful and no doubt whatever he was doing would end up badly for her if she wasn't careful.

    She was off in an instant to travel the distance between herself and maku, set up to arrive at the same moment maku did unless she was stopped and thanks to her techniques moving at her max possible speed, a mind blowing four hundred and ninety four. When her flicker deactivated she would continue to move at two society four, and after sliding a meter, with her lead foot planted directly ahead of her pointed forward she came to a stop, presumably in time with Youka's arrival and spun backwards to throw a kick out towards the earth grudge fear using ninja. As she struck the shadows, which had trailed behind her a bit contined to get in range taking about twice as long as she had to enter the gray. Unless this sequence was impeded they would arrive in the close quarters battle zone to strike out, three at maku aimed at his chest and side, tip blunted enough to hurt without cutting through him, and two belonging at youka without the same courtesy. The tendrils moved at two hundred and thirty speed, having the same stats across the board and she set them up to react in an instant to outside stimulus.

    If they were blocked or attacked each tendril would split in half at the point of collision, allowing the counter attack to fly harmlessly between them at the shadows speed, unless the attack was something she was confident they could deflect. If threads moved to collide with her shadow, or in the event maku blocked by trying to slice her shadows in half the mouthed would open, sliding to the tip in one of maku's and both of youkas. The second and third shadow aimed at maku would split as normal. The mouthed would open to swallow the defence, consuming it easily unless it's power was dwarfed by the object in question, and consuming it still unless the object was sharpened to cut through them.

Maku watched and began to institute his plan the moment they started theirs.  At the exact same moment, that Youka knelt and Maku could watch Kira's hands begin dropping to form a seal, he raised his own arm at full speed, and fired a Quasar Pulsate, that should be fired off the same moment that Kira began her body flicker hitting her in the chest nearly instantly after the jutsu activated.  Her speed would be her down fall causing her to run directly into the laser, unable to change direction while in mid body flicker or so he hoped.  The beam would have a strength of 180, and if it hit Kira, it would explode and send out a 10 meter blast wave, that had another power of 180, essentially hitting her twice and knocking her a good distance.  If it all went to plan that is.  It shouldn't be enough to destroy that suit of hers, but if there were any loose threads they'd for sure be burned off now.

Now for Youka, the man was running towards him, and he doubted a little thing like exploding lasers would slow the behemoth of a priest down.  Watching as the man barreled down on him, he simply didn't move.  Standing and waiting, at the last moment when the blade should have struck his chest, he activated one of the suits abilities, and teleported 5 meters behind Youka, spinning around, Maku shot off his second quasar pulsate, this one at full power cause Youka was Youka, so he figured he'd be fine (180 power) and aimed for the broadest part of his back once again, he would be hit with the blast wave due to his Armour being strong enough to stop the initial blast.  Should Youka discern were he was fast enough to shoot threads from his back, Maku figured the laser should be strong enough to go through most of them, and still implode giving the man a jolt while protecting himself.  The moment the blast left his hand, Maku ran backwards at 200 speed to put 35 meters of distance between himself and the other two.  And just because Maku was feeling whimsical, he used his mastered transformation jutsu, which used no chakra or hand seals, and turned himself into a snowman with a carrot nose and a top hat, and created two identical clones that stood next to him each 5 meters apart to hide which one was real.

As Youka watched everythig unfold in front of him he realized he didn't need to actually worry too much about Kira just yet as if the beam connected she would be propelled backwards. Watching this happen he took a mental note to watch out for this new attack that Maku had used, it seemed this man was growing more and more everyday and it made Youka excited with anticipation. As the distance closed between them and he swung down on the boy Maku dissappeared from view. Youka knew this wouldn't be a good spot and luckily he caught where Maku was just in time to activate his defense system he set in place moments before.

The disembodied hand would shoot threads from the ground to where Maku just had appeared at their full speed only to redirect Maku's beam to where Kira would have landed if she took the brunt of the beam. This was done by the threads hitting and flicking the boys arms in a different direction if allowed to hit. The threads would then vanish back into the snow to retreat to the hands location.

Rotating his body and pivoting on his right leg he would turn in a fast motion to quickly close the gap between them before throwing a straight punch aimed for the chest with his left fist before using his threaded makeshift right for a haymaker aimed for the boys head and if these hit he would finish with a forward lunging kick with his large metalic left foot to the boys chest.

She closed maybe a quarter of the distance before the beam hit her. She watched in grimace as the attack came towards her, knowing full well there was absolutely no way to stop her motion in time without breaking her legs from the incredible speed in which she traveled. As it came within a foot of her she leapt in a manner similar to a long jumper, her legs extended outward and back for a moment before she defended herself. As she floated in the air she braced for impact, gyrating her hips to turn her body just slightly before the beam hit her. It glanced off one of the plates protecting her chest, causing her to continue to spin but lose very little momentum.

Her reaction was just in time, she thought as her movement continued, mimicking her tsijutsu fighting style. She would touch down again to continue her advance ment, quickly getting back up to speed to zip in a fraction of the second into maku's range..... Were it not for the lasers secondary effect. Before she had time to think through the positioning of her feet for a safe touchdown the beam exploded, sending her air born body flying back about fifteen meters. She hid the ground only to slide another five meters to a stop dazed and confused by the attack.

As they fought she should the dizziness from her mind to look down at herself. Her leather top was completely vaporized but thanks to the protective plates and the chakra conductive thread she had purchased from kenzo's keeping it held true and though she would be bruised up after she would be alive.

She. Heckled the savar suit for cuts or tears just to make sure. There were blackened scorch like marks across the plates and it was darkened almost as if it had been dipped in soot of some sort but everything was in tact and more impressively as she ran her fingers across the suit she noticed a small catch point where the fibers had been coming loose had been melted back together.

"Well that's fortun" as she looked up, unless it was stopped, she saw the beam heading towards her again and this time acted quickly, shadows sprung up as the laser left his hand to spread out into a large shield had out half of the distance between them, which was around fourth meters due to being fifteen back when she was hit and being blown and sliding further at an angle of about fourth five degrees from the direction she was initially traveling, it would hit the shadow, vaporizing it and causing a large explosion but she would be safe and simply raise five more around her to use defensively, each one sporting a large mouth with wicked evil almost demonic smiles about half way down their height of six feet.

The threads extended form the ground at lightning speed, Maku was confident that he could have done something if he wanted to, but the aspect of firing at Kira again was not so unpleasant to out right stop it.  So instead of stopping it, he allowed the threads to push his arm, and watched as the beam fired off to hit her.  The threads retracted, and Youka was still determined to pound him into the ground with his fists.  Well that suited him just fine.  Youka was fast, but Maku was a bit faster, well he had to be since Youka was much much stronger than himself.  Watching he activated the After Image tech, causing Youka's punch to go directly through an image of himself, if he was lucky Youka would think he punched directly through him, that should give him a jolt. 

The real Maku would appear at Youka's left side, slightly behind him, so he would be just slightly out of view.  In the same moment he appeared, he would whip the blades out that he still had, the one from his right hand wrapping around both mans legs, with his left hand, he would bring his arm across his body to whip against Youka's back.  At the same time that blade would hit his back, Maku would heave with the one around his friend's legs, using the mans own forward momentum against him to cause him to fall over.

Watching as the blast did connect with the young girl and seeing her still dodge it slightly even though she was using a technique that once is activated allows you to travel from one location to the next without changing your direction, he found it amazing that she had found a way around that. Youka didn't pay anymore attention as she would just rejoin the fight when she closed in. His major concern at the moment was the man he was trying to hit in front of him, it seemed he was dead set on not allowing it to happen, which was very disconcerting to Youka in a sense.

As he moved to perform his straight punch it seemed to pass through the man, once it passed through and due to his forward momentum he would land on all fours since he didn't connect with anything solid to redirect that energy. This would be the moment that Maku would have wrapped his rope around Youka's leg. Willing a small latch of metal to retract it self down by his ankle his bear leg would be shown up to his calves. Threads would leave his body to wrap around the strings coiling up midway, this would be done to counteract any motion the man would use the string for. There was a huge clang sound made as something struck his armor from the backside causing him to feel the pressure through his armor, he had to get up and punish Maku for trying to dent his armor. Youka would again allow the threads to seep further out from his legs and make their move to attack Maku directly by coiling up his string to his arm and holding it with his threads strength so the man would not be able to pull away.

Since Youka was stationary already he figured he would use a jutsu he barely go to use ever, kneeling he would perform the required handsigns and underneath Maku the ground would start to violently turn on itself crushing snow and earth as the hole expanded to be 2 meters deep and 3 meters wide. If the man didn't release his wrappings from around youka's legs he would be sucked slowly downwards into the hole, if Youka needed he could always increase the depth of it and power to get the same result.

As for Kira the hand under the snow and ground would have made its way to be directly in front of her about 5 meters away and it would be lying in wait for her to make a move. Right now she was standing still with her shadows doing whatever it is shadows do. If she attempts to make a move via throwing anything the threads will knock them out of the air quickly before dispersing under the ground again. If Kira makes a charge attempt to close ground between everyone The Threads and the hand will rise from the ground to stand ten meters above the ground with a heart beat coming from the center mass of the threads in a large clump they will span a ten meter radius as well preventing any form of trying to get around them.

If Youka is allowed to get up he will roll forward into a standing sprint to gain a slight distance of seven meters over Maku to reevaluate the battlefield before smirking inside his helmet at what he could do to really increase their fun. standing he would cross his arms and focus on finding what he was looking for letting the jutsu do its work. "Found them" he would say under his breath, there were a lot but he could only draw forth six at a time for now. Behind him the snow would start to collapse on itself as a large pit was being formed, if one payed attention the sound of slight moans could be heard and the scratching and clawing of earth. This was something new he had picked up after reading on some very interesting people from the past and it striked his fancy. They however did take a while to actually manifest so he would have to protect this location till they were formed.
