Finding this dock on a map would be difficult, as it is very small compared to other commercial ports. Very few ships use these docks as a landing point and the ones that do are often very shady. Although small, the docks are incredibly sophisticated, using steam powered cranes and carts to load and unload their cargo. The ships that land here and the people aboard them are not to be trusted; there's a reason they choose to rest their ships here, far away from any public scrutiny.

"...but if you touch my chocolate, i will hurt you."
Nano stepped through the portal and looked around at the area, he swiftly moved into shadows as not to alert anybody who may be of the order or of such other disposition given this mission. The demon watched everybody carefully, watched how they walked, how they act, it was something he was particualy skilled at given he could easily go unnoticed aslong as he had even the smallest spec of shadows to hide in among other things he was skilled in "Hmm...i could learn so much more if i just got up closer but i must wait for the others but there is just no fun is waiting anymore and yet it is what i must do to keep everybody safe...if only i could get him here." Nano paused for a moment as he thought of who he was mentioning before realising that would be insane.
Magnus stepped through the portal, looking around at the docks. He seemed to recognize it. He sighed before looking at Shira and giving her a small nod. He didn't see Nano anywhere, but he'd seen the demon go through the portal so he knew he had to be close by. He looked towards the boat as he waited for Kiki to come through the portal. He'd been on it several times before and he knew the crew, including the captain. "I'll be right back," he told her before walking towards the boat. He looked back one more time before he stepped up the ramp and disappeared inside the boat. A good 10 minutes went by before he returned, stepping down the gangway and walking back up to Shira. "We can get on the boat," he told her. His jaw was clenched; he looked like he'd been in an argument. "Kiki, you and myself have passage to The Machinist Order's main compound. It...wasn't easy. But in the end they caved when I threatened them with my father's money and your grandfather's wrath..." he looked over towards the small portal as he waited for his partner to arrive.
[[Deadshot, Chuck was supposed to go to the Lake with the ship]]
Shira walked through the portal to the dock and waited as Magnus went into a ship and came back out a bit later. She nodded "Alright." she said, glancing towards the boat again. "Let's wait for the others then." she said.

"...but if you touch my chocolate, i will hurt you."
Nano watched as Magnus went onto the boat, the demon began to get impatient as he waited for him to come out but when he finally did he moved through the shadows so he could reach Magnus'. He climbed up through the shadows on his body before popping his head out "This feels too easy you two...far too easy, even if you had to threaten them to get passage this is just...i'm not sure, this whole thing doesn't give me a good feeling inside." Nano slipped back into the shadows and decided to rest in the shadows while they waited for Kiki and to get on the boat "Inform me when we're on the boat...i will look around for now i am going to rest and focus on what will no doubt be a hard battle."
Gee today has been nothing but a bore and its likely the next day will be a bore. Aw who am I kidding? My entire life has been a bore lately.
You would think that a guy like me would have a life of excitement but I'm just as plain as the next guy.
Soul Protect ► On Soul Wavelength Stable/Calm
The feline sprouted fourth from the portal. "Okay what do we have in store for us next?" Takeshi made his way to Magnus and sat down besides him. "Hopefully I can change back to my human form soon, being a cat with all of these Machinist Order members around isn't a good idea. What if they were to attack while I was in my cat form? I'd be dead within moments." From the looks of things everyone seemed to be here except for Magnus' partner but just to make sure he'd ask him. "Now are we just waiting for your partner or is there anyone else?" Waving his tail from left to right he inspected the ship from where he was sitting. "I don't think I've ever seen a ship like that before...who knows what might happen once we head in.
Takeshi's Techniques - The ones in use will be bolded.
Spells/Powers:
+ Black Step - Very similar to the original Takeshi's blue step the black step is a variation of it. By resonating with himself Takeshi is capable of moving at super high speeds leaving behind a blur like after image of him. The reason why the technique gets the name Black Step is because of the clothing Takeshi wears, when the after image of Takeshi is left it looks all black and fuzzy due to his clothing. Unlike the original the alternate can use this technique in quick succession due to his stamina so he could out speed anyone he comes into contact with. Anyone that is unfortunate enough to battle Takeshi will have a hard time catching up with him. This technique can't be used in his madness release form because Takeshi doesn't travel the way he does when he is using madness to enhance most of his capabilities. Most people confuse this technique as teleportation but truly its Takeshi's speed. In his kishin form this move is referred to him as the black dance due to the dramatically enhanced speed boost.
+ Soul Protect - A technique that is in constant use by Takeshi. In order to escape Shibusen's meisters and weapons Takeshi will use soul protect. This allows Takeshi to bypass soul perception which would be able to distinguish his soul from an average humans soul. Most with soul perception will see his soul as a human soul and have no clue of his warlock soul. He is also capable of disguising his wavelength to that of a regular cat. Since there are certain people that would be able to detect lies due to the fluctuations of wavelengths Takeshi has learned to keep his wavelength calm so no one would be able to detect his lies.
+ Familiars - Around the time Takeshi was still going to the DMA in the alternate universe he managed to animate his toy teddy bear. He named it Cookie and cares a great deal for it, calling it a him instead of a her since it didn't seem as feminine. Normally the stuffed bear is used for stuff such as household chores or guarding Takeshi while he sleeps. Cookie means the world to Takeshi and so far he thinks of them as the only beings he could truly trust. Always around Takeshi, he wears them on an article of his clothing all of the time which is usually his sweater. All he has to do is say his name and the familiar will awaken and grow a bit bigger in size. Cookie can't speak but Takeshi can understand every movement he makes since they have a unique link. Usually when he awakens the stick on the bear in toy mode will also grow. So far Cookie has been known to be used as a spy, guard, and even test dummy for training. Cookie is surprisingly fast and is able to move without detection, especially since he has no soul. After sustaining some damage they will revert back to their toy form. Cookie can scale tall buildings with a super jump but other than that and the previously mentioned features, that's all he could do. His other familiars are a bit different and are summoned for combat reasons. When using his shadow magic Takeshi can create familiars that are produced from his own shadows. These familiars aren't as strong individually but more of as a group. Usually producing five to ten shadows in order to attack his enemies Takeshi will order them to attack his enemies. The first familiars, shadows, are the weakest and capable of just scratching attacks and more stuff when they're in a group. Stalkers are the next level of shadows and much more quick and able than shadows. Most of the time Takeshi will create just five since they are more than capable of fighting by themselves.
+ Madness Overload - A technique that allows Takeshi to take on even the mightiest of foes. By amplifying the madness already within himself, Takeshi can fight on the level of a human that is undergoing madness release. When under the powerful influence of madness Takeshi's traits and abilities and greatly enhanced enabling him fight on an entirely new level. Upon using this technique Takeshi will also change his appearance greatly such as wearing a black cloak made of madness, his feet will also sink into the ground leaving only his legs. The way Takeshi travels now is by sinking into the ground as a shadow, his body now bends and twists in strange ways. Only when Takeshi uses madness overload is he capable of summoning his unique mask and weapon made of madness which you could learn more about in the description above. Among the new abilities Takeshi obtains he can transform his body into a shadow and phase through an enemys attack. This lasts one post and needs a five post cool down. Towards the end of training to learn how to control his madness he developed this form. Amplifying his own madness was a huge risk therefore Takeshi's master didn't like the idea of using it in battle but the young man will still use it if needed. Because of Takeshi's training with the cultist he is able to control the madness even more now and can freely enter this stage whenever he wants and maintain it for extended periods of time. Despite being able to fully control the madness release his personality will change to closely resemble that of a madman. His fighting style will be unpredictable and hard to follow. Just because he loses some sanity Takeshi will still be able to know the difference between friend and foe alike so his allies won't be in any real danger.
+ Kishin Form - This form is a last resort. When Takeshi enters this form his speed is unmatched and his strength unparalleled. His defense is also given an amazing boost as well as all his five senses. Though when undergoing this form Takeshi makes sure to chain these big morning stars on his arms as a sort of restraint. Even with the restraints Takeshi is able to move at high speeds in this form easily as if the restraints didn't even exist. After eating many pure human souls fed to him by the cult that raised him he began to grow more aggressive. More powers were revealed and he was coming closer to becoming a true kishin however he started losing himself. He would see illusions and go into these panic attacks. It was awful for the boy. Losing his sanity he said he wouldn't eat another pure human soul until his training to carry out the cults mission would be carried out. Later he would get better and regain his sanity but he would still swear off of eating pure human souls. He uncovered this form after eating the last pure human soul he would eat at the abandoned hospital. Everyone immediately thought that Takeshi was in the process of becoming a kishin because his wavelength was reaching levels that closely resembled that of a regular kishin, however this wasn't the case. Quickly his body changed and his eyes didn't even look normal anymore. Just as everyone was about to celebrate his awakening as a kishin he reverted back to his average form. Later he would learn that he could enter this form freely though every time he did his body would be under heavy stress afterwards. Despite obtaining this form he can't maintain it for large periods of time unless he becomes a full fledged kishin. By eating just one more pure human soul Takeshi will become a true kishin and transform into his kishin form permanently. Without the restraints Takeshi can attack using his claws or his legs to cause devastating damage. He also gains the ability to manipulate and produce intense black flames of madness from his body. These can be used for a number of purposes such as using it in physical combat, creating barriers of black flames, and even incorporating a battle style for it. The black flames are extremely intense and are more deadly than average flames. Ultimately this form is stronger than his madness overlord form. If Takeshi uses this form in succession he will grow a third eye on his forehead symbolizing that the madness has nearly taken over him and his mind on the border between sane and insane.
+ Madness Manipulation - The ultimate form of madness is being able to harness that power and control it. This ability of Takeshi allows him to use his madness to enhance his physical prowess and speed. Thanks to this ability Takeshi is able to use his shadow magic offensively as well as concentrate the madness through his sword to enhance his cutting ability. Madness manipulation is the ability to use the massive amounts of madness within someone to empower the user or compress it into the form of blasts and beams. Madness is available to everyone since most people have at least a small amount of madness within them. Only those with immeasurable amounts of madness could unleash the full potential of its empowering properties. Depending on the person the effects of madness will effect everyone differently. Being the new embodiment of fear Takeshi's madness is terror. His magic is the control of shadows. By empowering himself with madness he is covered in a black shadow like aura that makes itself very apparent. Though empowering his body with madness gives him a darker look this isn't a form that can be compared to his other two but he does consider it due to the appearance change. This empowerment transformation is known as Shadow Drive hence the aura that would be emanating from him. When compressing the madness into a destructive force Takeshi can create black balls of madness that cause dome like explosions that range quite far. Compressing it into a form of blast is also possible. Finally Takeshi can alter the form of the madness and change the shape of it, enabling him to convert the madness into weapons. In weapon form the madness is highly weak to an Anti-Demon wavelength and will immediately disperse should a user come into contact with it.
+ Black Shadow Magic - This is the type of magic that Takeshi uses as a Warlock. By fusing Takeshi's magical power with the shadows he can manipulate them making them fall under his command. Now before the madness had made its presence known within the young warlock's body, this form of magic wasn't as deadly. It allows the complete manipulation of shadows within the nearby vicinity. Altering the shape and form of shadows was the original limitation before Takeshi's madness amplified its powers and changed the shadows he controls into a physical form. Much like vector magic, shadow magic is very similar in the way it attacks, although shadow magic differs and has some unique limits. Takeshi can only manipulate shadows when there are actually shadows, he can't function well in areas devoid of light entirely. Despite being able to control shadows only Takeshi's shadow can be used in an offensive manner. After Takeshi's shadows have been amplified by his own madness they've evolved and managed to grow eyes and mouthes with teeth. These mouthes are capable of eating and the eyes link back to Takeshi, basically it enables father eye sight. Takeshi's shadow can take on a variety of shapes, from sharp spikes to tendril-like hands. He can also manipulate, slice through or devour anything that comes in contact with his shadow and it appears invulnerable to conventional physical harm, although it can be deflected by sufficiently hard objects. He can also see and talk through his shadowy eyes and mouths wherever his shadow can extend. Any form of light magic interferes with Takeshi's shadow magic. Madness induced shadows however are much more resilient than the regular shadows Takeshi manipulates. After using madness overload Takeshi's whole body will be able to transform into a physical form of the shadows themselves enabling him to use his shadow magic anywhere. In his madness induced form Takeshi must travel by sinking into the ground and moving in a way as if he was swimming on the ground as a shadow. When under the effects of madness Takeshi is still able to move as a shadow in areas devoid of light, able to use his body as a weapon.
Magnus jumped slightly as Nano popped out by his shoulder. "Uh, yes, well, hopefully it is this easy. They should know better than to attack myself and Shira. Will you...be in my shadow then? How would I contact you?" He looked over at Takeshi as he hopped out of the portal. "I got us a ride on the boat," he told Takeshi. "And don't worry; The Order won't attack you if they believe you're uh....my cat." He said, hoping Takeshi wouldn't be insulted by the role he was supposed to play. He didn't know the warlock at all and had no idea what kind of person he was. He nodded when Takeshi asked about his partner. "Yeah. We'll be ready as soon as she arrives."
Kiki steps through the portal and looks around for Magnus not knowing that he went on the boat, however, before she could ask he returns. She looks at him with a bored expression on her face as he informs her that both of them have passage to The Machinist Order's main compound. The weapon then looks at the demon as he says that he feels that it's too easy. "You're a simple pesky little demon," she sayy to Nano. "Creatures like you always have a bad feeling. Besides, if anything were to go wrong Magnus and I can handle it," she continues crossing her arms.
Shira glanced at Nano "Yeah... they wouldn't attack. They don't need that type of attention. It should be easy up until a certain point." she looked at Takeshi "So if you are his cat, make sure you don't talk alright?" she asked him with a faint smile. She looked over at Kiki as she arrived before looking at Magnus "Alright. Let's go then." she said with a small smile.

"...but if you touch my chocolate, i will hurt you."
"I can still hear and see when i'm in the shadows, granted in a way you would never understand." Nano closed his eyes as he spoke agin "Just cough or something when we're on the boat, anything to get my attention is fine. Nano sat down on the ground within the shadows, whatever could be considered ground in that realm anyways, breathing slowly and deeply as the two of them said the order wouldn't attack while kiki said she and Magnus could handle it, something he didn't doubt but he wasn't worried of being attacked "Being attacked out here would be a stupid decision by the order, we have the granddaughter of Lord Death with us, the daughter of death the kid, if they hurt her, thier wrath would be far to create for the order and that's not accounting for all of us here. With all of us here, they would just end up dead anyways...i strike from shadows, i am the very thing a child wakes up screaming about in the middle of the night."
Gee today has been nothing but a bore and its likely the next day will be a bore. Aw who am I kidding? My entire life has been a bore lately.

Soul Protect ► On Soul Wavelength Stable/Calm
"I almost completely forgot! Sorry miss Shira, I won't speak unless its necessary. Now lets get a move on for now!" And so the cat quietly made his way on to the ship awaiting Magnus to come that way they could sell the whole act. Personally Takeshi wasn't really offended pretending to act like a lowly pet cat. What bothered him would be keeping his mouth shut because he just absolutely loved to pull pranks on people, still this wasn't death city and if he faltered it would most likely mean death. But its not like Takeshi was all that worried, he was pretty care free most of the time.

Though empowering his body with madness gives him a darker look this isn't a form that can be compared to his other two but he does consider it due to the appearance change. This empowerment transformation is known as Shadow Drive hence the aura that would be emanating from him. When compressing the madness into a destructive force Takeshi can create black balls of madness that cause dome like explosions that range quite far. Compressing it into a form of blast is also possible. Finally Takeshi can alter the form of the madness and change the shape of it, enabling him to convert the madness into weapons. In weapon form the madness is highly weak to an Anti-Demon wavelength and will immediately disperse should a user come into contact with it.
+ Black Shadow Magic - This is the type of magic that Takeshi uses as a Warlock. By fusing Takeshi's magical power with the shadows he can manipulate them making them fall under his command. Now before the madness had made its presence known within the young warlock's body, this form of magic wasn't as deadly. It allows the complete manipulation of shadows within the nearby vicinity. Altering the shape and form of shadows was the original limitation before Takeshi's madness amplified its powers and changed the shadows he controls into a physical form. Much like vector magic, shadow magic is very similar in the way it attacks, although shadow magic differs and has some unique limits. Takeshi can only manipulate shadows when there are actually shadows, he can't function well in areas devoid of light entirely. Despite being able to control shadows only Takeshi's shadow can be used in an offensive manner. After Takeshi's shadows have been amplified by his own madness they've evolved and managed to grow eyes and mouthes with teeth. These mouthes are capable of eating and the eyes link back to Takeshi, basically it enables father eye sight. Takeshi's shadow can take on a variety of shapes, from sharp spikes to tendril-like hands. He can also manipulate, slice through or devour anything that comes in contact with his shadow and it appears invulnerable to conventional physical harm, although it can be deflected by sufficiently hard objects. He can also see and talk through his shadowy eyes and mouths wherever his shadow can extend. Any form of light magic interferes with Takeshi's shadow magic. Madness induced shadows however are much more resilient than the regular shadows Takeshi manipulates. After using madness overload Takeshi's whole body will be able to transform into a physical form of the shadows themselves enabling him to use his shadow magic anywhere. In his madness induced form Takeshi must travel by sinking into the ground and moving in a way as if he was swimming on the ground as a shadow. When under the effects of madness Takeshi is still able to move as a shadow in areas devoid of light, able to use his body as a weapon.
Magnus smiled when Kiki showed up. That seemed to be all of them. He turned and looked towards the ship. "Okay, let's go," he said apprehensively. He began walking towards the ship and up the gangway past a rather sour looking guard. "Hello, ah...Sable was it? I'm sorry it's been quite a while," Magnus said, doing his best to give a friendly smile.

"Just get on the boat," Sable replied simply, not even bothering to look at him. "And your cat, and Lady Death and your....Weapon." He added the last title with slight disgust. "Saint Clara isn't going to be happy about this, and I'm not going to be the one to explain to her why you have a Weapon wandering around the complex. You know we kill those right? Oh, and your cat. If it gets eaten, not our fault." Magnus gave a slight nod. "Yes of course," he replied glancing down at Takeshi as if to say Don't wander off... The sky was grey and the waves were a steely blue, washing hard against the shore. It seemed as if a storm might be coming. Magnus gave a small reassuring smile towards his companions. "Come, let's get underway," he told them as he walked all the way onto the ship.
