Blood Games: Crescendo

He hadn't paid noticed it before maybe because he wasn't actively sensing chakra, Angel's signature was ten meters behind. As soon as Mitako threw the senbon his hands met at his chest to form the clone handseal. Two meters behind him, a clone would poof into existence at the same time Angel's Sharingan whirred to life, with a copy of all of his current gear, standing in a position so that its left hand was gripped around the sheathe of the katana and its right was secured to the handle. Just as she was beginning to move away from him, the clone would rip its sword from the sheathe in an upwards diagonal arc like motion aimed at Angel's center and a large gust of wind-like chakra would shoot out from the slash. The gust would be launched at Angel before she threw the kunai since she was in the process of backing up five meters. If it hit the girl, it'd like leave a large gash from below her ribs to her shoulder, incapacitating but not necessarily killing her. The Makibishi were also already blocked by Mitako's sand and would not reach her. 

Back to Aryll, seeing as there was a large wall of spikes headed his way, pretty much as soon as the senbon left the sand and while he was forming the handseal, said sand would begin to form a wall just large enough to protect him, the dimensions would leave it as tall and wide as him plus about half a foot each way. Given that the makibishi had a much farther distance to travel over the sand, the sand would be able to form said wall before it actually hit the boy. 

Continuing, he began to run to the right but away from the pool's edge and Aryll immediately after the water cannons were fired (which is after the makibishi landed) causing them to go right past him,[On the off chance they hit, the shield would still be in the way (Seeing as no dimension was listed for the water, I'll just go ahead and assume that they're a half meter in diameter,)] and what little sand hadn't been used to shield himself would begin sweeping the makibishi on the floor into a pile that would remain away from him but within his sand by circling around the floor surrounding him. All of the sand moved with Mitako as he began to move shielding him from further harm on Aryll's front.

After creating the rupture and flinging it at Angel, the clone would begin to move with Mitako while maintaining the current two meter distance, minimizing his exposure to the water cannons. 

All actions happen at the maximum possible speed, so 50 except for the bit at the end where he runs, which is 25 due to momentum rules.

[Mitako's AP: 176
- Everything from the previous post (fixed the cost of Sand Manip from my other post, it's 10, not 5.)
- Sand Manip for this post: 10
- Shadow Clone: 30
Clone's AP: 175
- Rupture: 30 AP, Like I said earlier, enough sharpness to injure Angel severely, but not enough to cut completely through her to the point it would kill her.]

A tear escaped Dol's eye as he felt the happenings around him. He had neither the strength nor the will to resist. A smile would creep onto his face as memories of Satomi and Nadi flooded his vision.

[RIP Dol, may he see his family in the afterlife]

As the kunai sank into Riku's head, killing him instantly, Kozurou would sink and shift his body at 50 speed so that the two kunai that had been aimed at him would simply bounce off of his flak jacket. It was a damn good thing he'd brought that along, huh? The kid would probably have needed to throw the kunai at double the strength to even think about nicking him. Walking over (at 25 speed) towards Riku's body, Kozurou would ensure to take a peek at what was going on on the other side of the arena while scooping up the kunai that had just been thrown at him. Placing one in his pouch, he'd keep the other one in his right hand as he reached Riku's body, picking it up by the back of Riku's collar with his left hand. Some 10 meters away, the sand kid and his clone had started to run in his general direction, possibly away from Aryll.

The two that had died so far had been complete pushovers, so he was itching for an actually good opponent. Maybe this sandy boy would satisfy his desire for the time being before he faced off against Aryll again. Then again... maybe not. As he passed by the water's edge, the clone that had been running some distance away from him simply fell into the water as he passed close to its edge on his way towards Kozurou. In the instant that the clone lost its footing and began to sink, with a flick of his hand, Kozurou would throw the kunai at the boy's central nerve, hoping to kill him or at least blind him. The projectile flying from his left hand would then strike the boy in the chest. He'd wear out the kid's armor, at the very least, and he had plenty of other projectiles to go through. The sand, though, might be a problem.

[OOC: Note that Mitako can't just run at full speed right off the bat.]

(Gonna request that the timer for houring be put on halt since Kaos requested a battlemod but didn't post here)

[Accepting my death]

With the abundance of death that was currently being observed by the ecstatic crowd, it was clear that there was somebody here who was truly wanting to make a name for himself: Kozurou. This wouldn't be much of an event between genins if this kid was killing everyone off so quickly, and with how he had just killed two within a short period of time it certainly wasn't going to show him what the new generation had to offer the Mizukage. As such, he'd speak out towards the arena after the last death, granted that nobody else died during his talking and they wrapped up their skirmishes, "Only two genin remain alive, with our chuunin serving their purpose well. Mitako and Kozurou are now released from their duties at this event, and may move back into the arena. This will now be a one on one between Aryll and Angel. Stand at opposite ends of the arena, and then begin again." Xyxer declared, gesturing one hand between the gates, the body of water, and the respective people. Perhaps now they'd understand how realistic the notion of death was between them.

[Pulling Kozai out for him since he can't do it himself, assume everything that hasn't fully gone through or been accepted hasn't happened, on his behalf at least

Same cooldowns & AP]

Going about his business, he'd retreat from the arena on Xyxer's command.

[Exit, posting claims later.]

As Aryll’s blast of hyoton blew Dol to bits, the crowd of the arena went absolutely wild at the show of brutality. Aryll couldn’t help but revel in the fury of the arena as she continued her fight. The boy who she fired the other blast at, as well as her makibishi, did so with what appeared to be a wall of sand, shielding Angel from the attack inadvertently. As he created his clone and began to move, possibly into the water or something if Koz had gotten to post, Aryll began to advance, with Thane’s massive blade being drawn and preparing to slice at Mitako.
 

And then, like that, Xyxer himself called a halt. Aryll, and consequently, Thane, slowed to a halt, blade still raised for an attack. As Xyxer commanded the two remaining combatants to stand at opposite sides of the arena, Aryll obeyed without hesitation, leaping across the water for the third time today, and landing at the side of the arena opposite Angel. She paced forwards before her hulking mechanical construct came to a halt five meters from the wall. She then turned about face, with Thane standing at the ready, preparing for battle against her friend.


-1 AP byakugan

As Angel backed away, the man that she had been planed to throw her shuriken at, would go for his Katana.. Angel didn't know why... but ever since her eyes started to bug out, she gained some sort of strange ability which can only be described as some form of foresight. As such... before pulled out his blade, she was able to see his movements... able to see him drawing out his sword and a slash of air coming through the air at her. Burr.... she couldn't have this, if the attack hit her, she would of been out of the competition before it even really began and if that happened then Angel would be unable to continue and probably be executed in cold blood.

And Angel couldn't let that happen. As the boy started to move his blade at the Uchiha, she would side step as far as she could up against the wall, and duck, that way the rupture from the blade would go flying past her, barely missing her by mere inches.

Once the boy was done with his attack, he and his clone would start toward the direction that Aryll was in... and Angel was dead set on trying to stop him.

However... as Angel started to get up the Mizukage would give a degree, apparently... the chunin was being pulled out. And the reason for that was because only two genin... remained....

Angel was one..... and she doubt that Aryll could be killed so quickly.... so.... that means no one else alive, which meant...


Like a leopard going after its pray, Angel dashed out of the gate and looked around, Aryll was already jumping and going to the other side, As she jumped, she jumped over the dead body of a young shinobi boy.... however... that wasn't what Angel was scared of...

Looking over to her left, she saw the bloody mess that was her old mentor, Dol, who was now nothing more than a blood spot on the floor.

No.....


Holding back her tears, Angel would head over to the fallen holy man, looking kneeled by the bloody spot which was all that was left of Dol..... The blonde do something that she had never done before, something so beyond stupid that she herself wasn't sure why she did it, prehaps it was because of the holy man's death having some sort of strange effect on her.

But she closed her eyes, just for a brief second and prayed.









Those looking on would notice something different about the girl as she opened her eyes, just the slightest hint of a smile would show on her face. As the girl prayed, the blonde would be the first to admit that she didn't know what she was doing, she didn't know what God, Deity, or whatever the fuck one wanted to call them.... she was praying to. But... it still helped the girl find peace in what she had done, and what she was about to do.


With that, Angel would rise and make her way to the opposite side of the arena as the massive mech warrior. Somehow... Angel knew this was going to be how it would end since the start of theses games...

Once she got to position, she would wait a moment, presuming there was some sort of signal to start, if not, only enough time to make it clear that she was ready and able to go. There were some spikes to the right of her, about 5 meters away, however this wasn't of much concern to the girl, she wasn't planing on backing up any more. The girl would start to walk forward and onto the water, and would make the sign of the clone. With that, two clones would appear to each side of the girl on the water, and would each start move at their maximum possible speed, hugging the edges of the pool and running around the edges of the 50 meter pool, (On the water, not on the ground as to not hit any caltrops.)  

The two clones would circle the pool until they got to the other side of the pool, where Aryll would be. Presuming that the Hyuga girl did nothing during this time for some strange reason, the clones would both for the tiger hand sign and once they were 7 meters away, and once they were 5 meters away, the clone that was not being looked at the most would try to use the temporary paralysis jutsu (20 power) in order restrict the girl in her mech, hopeful stopping her movement in order for her to be defenseless for a follow up attack.

AP: 264 - 30 = 234

All AP is divided among the clones and original equally, meaning that each clone has 78 AP

Angel: 78 - 1 Sharingan - 1 Water walking technique = 76
Clone: 78 - 1 Sharingan - 1 Water walking technique = 76
Clone 2: 78 - 1 Sharingan - 1 Water walking technique - 10 for Temp Praylsis = 66

There was something... Poetic about what was happening now. Aryll's best friend stood across the arena, about to battle for a second time. There was no call to battle, no sign to start, but the two seemed to know to begin without being told. There was no need for a signal. Just before the battle commenced, the hatch on Thane opened, and Aryll faced her opponent, her friend. She did something there that she thought was appropriate. Something she had seen before, an action carried out by her brother and the Mizukage in their battle. Beneath her mess of silvery hair, Aryll’s white eyes would meet with the red eyes of Angel. Aryll’s right hand held the threads that kept Thane mobile, but her free hand formed the seal of confrontation, the universal sign of engagement between shinobi, and a sign of respect from Aryll, as well as a challenge to her foe. The entire village would bear witness as the two began, whether or not Angel returned the gesture.
 
Unbeknownst to Aryll, a visage stirred behind her. It was said that some Shinobi possessed a battle aura, and when they fought, it sometimes manifested itself, appearing at their side and displaying the true power of the wielder. Today, Aryll displayed just such an aura. Behind her, her chakra stirred, welling up and manifesting, taking shape as her power revealed itself. Aryll had never seen the battle aura of her brother, but at least one among the audience had. At least one would be able to recognize the form that appeared behind Aryll and Thane. A great bear, with fur as white as snow, stood upright as Aryll made the seal of confrontation. It did not challenge. It did not bare its teeth. It stared upon her opponent solemnly, preparing itself for what was to come. It lacked the rage that Haru’s aura often communicated, but something else stirred there. Some hidden depths yet to be revealed.
 

As Angel began her approach, the bear would roar, and Thane would set his blade at his side, stretched out, prepared for the incoming foes. Angel’s clones dashed towards her along the water. Aryll waited patiently for Angel to close the distance, her aura manifesting as the bear readied itself, standing upright and raising its claws. As the three approached her from different directions, Aryll waited, for this bear was patient. As Angel’s clones reached a distance of 15 meters from her, and Angel herself reached a distance of 10 meters (As the shortest distance between two points is a straight line), Thane would let loose a slew of Makibishi (10m radius), which would land about 15 meters away from Aryll, likely passing through Angel in the process. The tiny caltrops wouldn’t cause a huge amount of damage, but if Angel couldn’t avoid it, the resulting damage could possibly take her out of the fight. As this happened, Aryll would reach into her pouch with her free hand, pulling free two kunai, which she would throw at each of the clones, one at the one on her right, then the remaining kunai at the one on the right. This would occur after the makibishi coated the floor on her side of the arena, slowing or injuring both the clones and Angel should they be caught in it.
