Hatsumi merely observed the action beforehand for she would not be able to assist any further. Her abilities are useful when controlling the mind but that is all. She is not strong like the others nor does she have any special weapons.
She was enjoying the gore scene before her. The clown was being punished for his actions. She wondered if his fate was to die again? How would he die again when he died once? How did he even come back to life? Were there people like 'The Wisers' who choose what to do with your soul? These thoughts ran in Hatsumi's mind as she continued observing the team defeat the Ring Master.

He hadn't seen her wing get clipped, to busy watching the ground raising up to meet him, so it was a surprise when she started barreling out of control. Her good massive wing gave a mighty flap slowing them down before hitting the ground. It wasn't enough to land them softly but at least they weren't gonna splat across asphalt like a bug on a windshield.
Li-Fan braced for impact, hitting the ground feet first, bending knees upon impact. He hissed in pain as a cracking noise could be heard from his left calf as the bone shattered. For a second black dots danced in front of his eyes. Li-Fan shook his head and manage to stand up, hoping a little as he put the majority of his wait on his right leg. He took a step, gasping as pain shoot up his leg. "Quinn" he called to the now human girl, "Quinn, you gotta get up." He looked over to where the alligator had landed. Was it still alive? Whats more they still had to deal with the Obeah Man.▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ⇳ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ⇳ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

The Red Blur
Roxane Chase
Roxy skidded across the ground to a halt as she watched the Ring Master go flying, only to get kicked back by Darren. Though before she could wind up to get in another swing the Ring Master was pelted by blasts of shadow magic, sending him flying away, and finally Hive came in and laid down a few more brutal strikes of his own. "damn...anyone else feel that was alot easier than expected?" Roxy asked, seeing how they had pretty much overwhelmed the Ring Master the instant they managed to break out of his illusion.
Benten-Yoshi
founder of the Y.G.C.
"the world's deadliest being"
"that's enough Benten said firmly, approaching the downed ring master with blade drawn. Suddenly he slashed the air between them, cutting straight through Alice's magic, returning the Ring Master back to normal speed. Immediately the Ring Master began coughing up blood and rolling around on the floor clutching his body. While the others may have have gotten time to savor their individual attacks on the Ring Master, to him everything had transpired in seconds, so the pain of each and every attack was all hitting him at once. "aaagggh! You son's of bitches!" the Ring Master screamed, coughing up more blood. "it's over Ring Master, I want you to tell me everything, how you came back, what your planning, and who's really behind all this" Benten said, lifting him up by his collar. The Ring Master laughed and wiped his mouth, chuckling maniacally. "and why would I bother telling you all this now? I'm already dying anyways, and besides, you can cut and bash me all you want, all it's gonna do is put more innocent blood on your hands" he said with a crooked smile. "hehe...how...unlucky....for you" he said, his head falling back and his last breath draining out of him. However as his body went cold his face suddenly began to harden, as if it where some sort of...mask. The Ring Master's face suddenly fell right off, revealing that it had just been a mask the entire time, and the person underneath was just some random civilian. The mask of the Ring Master's face was incredibly life like, exact down to every detail, in fact except for the hardness of it, one would be forgiven assuming it was the Ring Master's actual face (hint hint nudge nudge). "dammit..." Benten said, grabbing the mask and standing up to look at it. "if this is what I believe it is I fear things might have gotten alot more complicated" he told them. "come on, we have to get to the Museum, and quickly" he told them, sheathing his blade and turning away from the rubble of the tower.
 (and this children, is why future villians will have resistances to hypnotism, shadow possession, time manipulation, and other restrictive powers, because they make fights incredibly one sided. So remember back to this incredibly anti-climatic fight whenever I have to come up with a bs work around for your guys power sets, because otherwise this rp will be very boring) City Streets Mabootu managed to clip Quinn's wings with one of it's razor sharp teeth just before Li-Fan blasted it with a wicked spray of electricity. The enlarged gator let out a tortured roar as it plummeted down to the ground, landing with a thundering crash, skidding along the ground carving a trench into the concrete in it's wake. The gator laid down on it's back, opening it's jaw slightly to let out a pained hiss. "Mabootu" Jebediah called from atop the tower. With a shake of his head he tucked the masquerade mask into his breast pocket and stepped off the side of the building, walking along the air as if it where solid ground before slowly floating down to street level. At first he paid the two heroes no mind, instead going to check on his companion. "there there girl, you did well for an old crone out of practice" he told the alligator tenderly, stroking it's snout. He took a step back and tapped his cane on the ground three times. Suddenly the street cracked open and a large sink hole opened up in the middle of the road, leading directly down into the sewer tunnels "you've served your purpose girl, but you must go now, this time if I call you do not come, I cannot be trusted with my staff any longer. If the time comes I will send people to you instead, I trust you to judge their virtue well" he told her, taking his cane and laying it inside the aligator's gaping maw. Mabootu slowly nodded in understanding before rolling over back onto it's bell, swallowing down the staff and diving down into the sink hole, disappearing into the waters bellow. "now... the Obeah Man said, turning his attention back to Li-Fan and Quinn. "I believe we have matters to attend to" he said, reaching back into his coat pocket, pulling out a small blank rag doll. It had a stitched mouth and button eyes, and a needle pierced through the heart, the typical signs of a voodoo doll. However in addition to these things it had what appeared to be a single long hair jutting out of it's head...but it wasn't a hair...it was a whisker. "yes Quinn, please do get up" Obeah Man said, motioning the doll into an upright position, causing Quinn's body to move in tandem, forcing the girl back up to her feet whether she liked it or not.

 gaia_angelleft "Quinn" Heidi Arabella - Shapeshifter gaia_angelright ((OOC: And the plot thickens!!)) Quinn felt as though she had fallen asleep. She heard her name being called and moand, "Go away." But the voice kept telling her to get up. Annoyed, she ignored it for a bit longer until she heard a voice in the distance, farther away than the original voice. "A girl's trying to sleep here you know," she moaned, extremely tired and spent.
However, somebody began picking her up and Quinn's eyes snapped open to see Li-Fan standing awkardly and Jebediah not too far from him carrying a doll. "What the hell?" she whispered as her body continued to move into a standing position. Quinn could feel warm liquid running down her arm, but ignored the pain as her body was moving involuntarily.
"What the hell?!" she yelled repeatedly. She tried to move her own limbs but found that she couldnt. "Li-Fan!" she shrieked unsure of what was happening to her.
That was when it clicked. The Obeah Man had a doll in his hand and was grinning at them maliciously. "Voodoo," she whispered, her eyes widening, a frightened look coming over her features.

Hatsumi's eyes widened at the scene of the clown's face falling off. Underneath it was just another civilian this entire time..!? How was this even possible? What now!? They killed just a civilian?
Hatsumi's mind was in a state of panic; her face showed otherwise. Her heels remained pressed together, feeling heavier than ever. Benten had said they needed to go to the Museum, and fast. Her feet seemed to remain glued together.
What if they kill other innocent lives that deserved to live? These were just victims then? Who was behind all this and why!?
Hatsumi stared into space, trying to find explanations to such phenomena.

Қɑɠҽ ◤The Shadow Walker◥ I lurk. ==============☠ ============== All around. Rei Ito
Rei watched as everyone would partake into the clown's beating.Soon, Benten would approach the Ring Master, demanding information. However, the clown wouldn't budge until the last minute of his life, his last words being with how unlucky. It turned out, it was just a very well mad mask!? Rei's eyes widened at the scene while his body stopped glowing black. "W-What.!?"
He glanced down at his hands and back at the civilian. He just killed an innocent life!?
Rei couldn't believe what he saw. "Benten..Just what the hell is going on!?" Like Hatsumi, Rei was in a blur of shock. If they continued to fight, how many more civilian lives will they take? How many innocent blood would be spilled?
Rei clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Benten..I don't think I have the confidence.." He said in a low voice, also not budging from his spot.

Benten-Yoshi
founder of the Y.G.C.
"the world's deadliest being"
Benten let out a heavy sigh as the others reacted just about as well as you'd expect them to all things considered. It was always a tragedy when innocent blood was spilt, especially when it was caused by their own rashness. "everyone take a moment to steel your nerves and collect yourselves" he said calmly. "this was a grave mistake, and a terrible tragedy, but none of you are to blame. You where angry, vengeful, and instead of acting as the voice of reason as I should I only encouraged you more...but let this be a lesson that I hope you all remember well...we are heroes...not soldiers...not assassins...we exist to protect life not take it...and to uphold justice, not by stooping to their level but by proving that we are better, that we choose the higher path...it is....very easy to forget this at times...." he said, keeping his back tot he others the entire time. "Today we did not choose that higher path, and an innocent man lies dead because of it...we have faltered...I have faltered...but that does not mean we may simply stand her wallowing in our own despair and self doubts...not when our inaction may cost even more people their lives" he said firmly his hand looking up to the city, which had pillars of smoke and fire spiraling up on the horizion, the marks of the various riots being caused by the Obeah Man's "distraction". However even then you could see lights streaking around the sky, all different heroes who had answered the call and where helping to quell the chaos. And while he wished he could lend their assistance, right now they where the only ones who knew of this mysterious benefactors true plans, which meant they where needed elsewhere. "...It is clear that whoever is behind this, they are not above using innocent lives as their swords and shields...we cannot be certain how many of these men are simply innocents being controlled as this fake Ring Master was, so we will not be taking any chances" he said turning to them. "from this point forward none of you are to fight with the intent of killing. I will not risk another civilian casualty. You are to use your powers and weapons only to incapacitate your opponent, and you shall take a life only if doing so proves the only way to save your own. We don't know exactly how these masks work, but it's clear that whoever wears one does not receive the original subject's full powers, otherwise defeating the Ring Master would not have proven so easy...perhaps they can be forcibly removed.....now....If you do not feel capable of restraining yourselves as I've instructed...or simply do not feel up to continuing this mission...then I understand, and you may remain here and wait for the rest of us to return. I would highly recommend removing yourselves of any personal feelings you may have invested in this matter, for this is no longer about you or any of us. Not only are tens of thousands of people in danger right now, but the very people we're fighting against may be victims as well. We act now not for our own personal vengeance, but in order to protect the people of this city, as you swore in the oath you all took not long ago. I know it may be hard, but it is times like this which we must uphold our creed the most, lest it become meaningless" he said, nodding to Roxy. "the Museum, now...this has gone on long enough" Benten said.
The Red Blur
Roxane Chase
Roxy shook her head and rubbed her face as it was revealed the Ring Master was just some guy in a mask. "oh god we ******** up big time" she muttered to herself, her fists clenching tightly, wanting to punch herself for being so god damn stupid. She was the one who got everyone all riled up, maybe if she had just kept her trap shut then they would have tried to apprehend him rather than straight up murder the guy. "yeah...ofcourse Benten, the safety's on from now on" Roxy said, agreeing not to resort to lethal tactics, especially now that anyone of the villains they where fighting could be a civilian under some sort of weird mind control crap. "hey!" Roxy said, punching Rei in the arm. "I get it, you got the whole emo thing going on, not big on the self worth....but right now I could give a damn less about having confidence. We all ******** up big time, and right now it's our JOB to get this s**t set straight. So it don't matter if you think you can do it or not, because your GOING to do it, period. Just like you saved my a** back there with Jezarmo." Roxy said, giving him a small smile, trying to reassure him in her own special way. "that goes for you too doll face, no time to be spacing out on us" Roxy said, gently patting Hatsumi's face to try to get her back to reality. "same goes for the rest of yas, I don't wanna hear a lick of angst out of any one of ya until we've got the guy behind this locked up in the deepest, dirties prison we can dump him in, after that ya'll can sulk all you want, and I'll probably be right there sulkin' with ya, but for now let's do this" Roxy said, putting on a big tough face since the others seemed to be wavering. Though underneath he surface Roxy understood just how they felt. "gotcha Mr. B, one big flash jump coming right up" she said starting to job in place, the others would feel the energy start to buzz in their legs as the oath distributed the excess energy amongst them, and suddenly in a blinding flash they where off again, zipping from place to place until they finally found themselves plopped right down at the front entrance of the Museum.
City Streets The Obeah Man chuckled as Quinn yelled out in surprise, clearly shocked by her body's new found independence from her will. "believe me child, far stranger things than hell are at work tonight" he told her with a grin, his gold tooth glinting at her. "ah yes, the old Voodoo doll trick, works wonders on those not expecting it. Best of all all it takes is a single hair, lash, nail or....whisker...to completely take over one's body" he told her, moving the doll with his hand, miming it reaching for it's back and walking, and as the doll moved so too did Quinn, as she found herself reaching up and drawing her sword, and slowly begin stalking towards Quinn. "it's a shame you can't break free of the doll yourself, and there's no way Mr. Chan's lightning could render this little flammable doll to ash." he boasted, almost blatantly giving away the means to release his hold on her, as if he where more instructing them than bragging about his powers. Though ofcourse it could simply be his arrogance speaking, it wasn't like they'd actually be able to stop him. "now why don't you two youngin's go finish that dance you never got back to at the club? sounds like fun don't it?" he said, manipulating Quinn's body, forcing her to gracefully twirl towards Li-Fan and then abruptly lunge into a barrage of slashes and stabs with her sword.

gaia_angelleft "Quinn" Heidi Arabella - Shapeshifter gaia_angelright Quinn was scared for a total of 60 seconds before the rage began to boil in her blood when he finished talking and had her slashing at Li-Fan. "Right! No, left! Duck dammit, back BACK!" she yelled at him. "Jebediah you are uglier than sin you know that?!" she yelled her insult in Obeah Man's direction.
Even as her body was moving, Quinn couldnt help but continue yelling out a barrage of insults at Obeah Man. "When I get my hands on you Imma turn you into my mama's famous alligator stew and eat you for breakfast. I'll knock you into next week! Ill snatch you bald headed! Ill whup ya like a rented mule. LI-FAN!!" Quinn had just noticed one of her more deadly moves, and if Li-Fan didnt move, her katana would skewer ******** man you need to start acting more like a man," she scolded Li-Fan, "C'mon zap me, I might hurt you!" she yelled at him, "If women can handle pregnancy then I can handle a good zappin c'mon!"
Then Quinn thought about what the Obeah man had just said, something about the doll incredibly flammable. "Better yet, Fry that sumbitch's voodoo doll!" she commanded him.

Қɑɠҽ ◤The Shadow Walker◥ I lurk. ==============☠ ============== All around. Rei Ito
Rei had his head held down, staring at the very hands that caused something grave. Benten calmly told everyone to collect themselves. He then explained how it was their rashness which was full of vengeful and hate that they couldn't listen to the voice of reason. That was true. If they had held themselves and just thought about the situation before them, they could have saved those man. It should have all clicked together. The people at the warehouse, the crates, the masks, the dead back to life; everything should have connected. But it didn't and that was their own fault, not just Benten's.
The city was in grave danger while they were here sulking about what just happened. Benten was right, as always. There are other lives out there that are counting on them. Rei glanced up when he felt Benten's shift his gaze to the sky. Heroes everywhere were gathering here to fight against the evil that fell upon the city. Yet they were here, sulking about their mistake.
Rei clenched his fists when Roxy gave him a punch before starting her little comforting speech. Why was it that she was always that stood strong while he would waver? He didn't want to be like this anymore. He didn't want to feel this anymore.
It was time for them to move on. With clear intentions, it was time to end this horrid battle. "Yes..Sorry for wavering..Benten..you're right. And Roxy...Thanks..."Perhaps for just a split second, Rei had a small barely noticeable smile. He would engrave Benten's speech in his brain for as long as he lived.
Soon Roxy would transport them all to the museum. Rei's body went black again as flames of shadow could be seen flickering from his hands, waiting to strike if anything popped but this time, he will make sure to only knock them out and nothing more.

 The Obeah Man chuckled again as Quin tried her best to advise Li-Fan on how to avoid her strikes. However the conflict showed clear on Li-Fan's face, he was having trouble fighting back against her, to worried that he'd over do it and kill her. Especially when she was fighting to kill without any restraint herself, not that it was her fault. When Quinn suddenly yelled at him that he was uglier than sin Jebediah smiled wickedly at her. "you have no idea child" he said knowingly, continuing to make her fight against her friend. However as they continued to fight Li-Fan bit his lip and shook his head "Quinn I can't do that! I can't focus in this situation, and if I just fire off at random I might seriously hurt you" he said. If he wanted to avoid hurting her he needed to be able to precisely control his powers, and he couldn't do that with a freakin' katana whizzing by his head. "what graceful dancers you are, but I believe it's time I cut in" he said, suddenly Li-Fan's eyes went wide and his body went stiff. "wh...what?" he muttered, his eyes trailing down to see that unbeknownst to either of them the Obeah Man had forced Quinn to grow back her scorpion tail, numbing her tail bone so she hadn't even felt it happen, and sneak up from underneath Li-Fan and sting him, paralyzing him. "if you would child...end it" he said, forcing Quin to slowly raise the tip of her blade to Li-Fan's chest, and force it in inch by inch until he was impaled up to the hilt. Li-Fan screamed out for the first half of the process, though by the time she had run him through completely his vocal chords had been paralyzed by the scorpion venom, leaving him unable to make a sound. With a flick of his wrist Quinn shoved Li-Fan away, leaving him prone on the ground with her sword still impaled through his chest. "so I guess it's just you and me now child" The Obeah Man said, walking towards her, using the doll he forced her to fall over onto her back, keeping her arms and legs pinned down at their sides. He stood over her and smiled, his gold tooth flashing at her. However as he smiled his teeth all seemed to start to grow and sharpen, soon becoming to large for his mouth. "you said you where going to make me into your ma's "famous alligator stew", correct? Tell me" he said, his muscles starting to bulge as his skin flaked away, revealing green scales underneath. Within seconds he had completely morphed into a massive green lizard man, crouching menacingly over Quinn, his face dangerously close to hers. "do you think you brought a large enough pot?..." he asked, puffing out a breath through his nose at her, licking his chops threateningly. (and to answer the obvious question, PateFist has decided to leave the rp, so this is Li-Fan's official departure from the series. Though he isn't fully dead, he's just going to leave the YGC after this incident.)

gaia_angelleft "Quinn" Heidi Arabella - Shapeshifter gaia_angelright ((ooc: hopefully this is ok, i mean the post says her arms and legs, so maybe she can movee her head?)) Quinn hated this whole situation, hated that she probably would kill the person right in front of her. She's never killed anybody and she would feel extremely guilty if Li-Fan died tonight. Doesnt matter that the voodoo was controlling her, it was still her swinging the sword.
Quinn rolled her eyes at Li-Fan who couldnt man up and zap her. However, the attitude left her as her expression turned into horror as both Li-Fan and Quinn were caught by surprise. Jebediah had forced her to shift back to her scorpion tail and used it to paralyze Li-Fan.
Quinn screamed helplessly as she raised her sword and stuck her katana into his chest. It was at this point that she began crying as Li-Fan was screaming out his pain. "Why, why why why?" she was stuttering to herself as she was forced to shove his injured body away.
And then Jebediah approached her and forced her to lay down, her arms and legs pinned to the ground. He continued speaking to her, but she didnt really hear him, not really, all she could do was cry. Quinn felt like a small child, ironically as the Obeah Man had called her. She was terrified she was going to die.
The Obeah man morphed into a lizard man and crouched over her menacingly, speaking to her in a satanic voice. "Please," she whispered, "Please make it quick." Even the most bravest of brave would cower in the face of death, but suddenly Quinn felt an eerie calm. The adrenaline was getting to her and even Quinn didnt recognize herself in this moment as she said, "If you're going to eat me," she paused, her voice getting louder, "then EAT ME!"
Only her arms and legs were pinned, but not her head. Quinn jerked her head up with all her might to hit him on his snout. This might not do much, and Quinn was sure she was going to die, but she had to try. She then brought her chin close to her neck to turn on her communicator. "BENTEN!!!!" she yelled with all the strength she had in her.
Quinn hoped, for her sake, that Benten Yoshi would just know where she was, if he could track her communicator somehow and help. Quinn just wasnt sure what was left before she closed her eyes and awaited her fate, a small prayer running through her mind.

Hatsumi remained in her position until Benten gave out his wise words. Hatsumi shifted a bit to face their leader who admitted they were acting out of vengeance and not reason. Hatsumi glanced down as Roxy tried getting everyone's spirit lifted. Then Benten would say how there were many innocent lives at stake and they needed to act fast. This was one of the many mistakes they had done. All they could do is learn and move on.
What would Eri do? The silverette wondered. However she very well knew what the answer was.
"Yes, I shall assist in whatever means I can. I want to help the others rid of the evil source." Hatsumi finally stated, although the guilt never left, would she really just stay there and do nothing while more innocent people were in trouble? This very city, her new home, would she just stand there and watch it crumble into nothing?
No. She would help. She would need to move on and grow. Roxy then transported them to the museum. As soon as they got there, Quinn had yelled out 'BENTEN" sounding distressed through the communicator. Hatsumi, with a worried look, turned to face Benten, "Oh no! Quinn seems to be in a difficult position! What should we do!?" Hatsumi felt a bit useless since she really couldn't do anything at the moment.

"the world's deadliest being"
Benten had motioned for them to follow him into the museum when he suddenly froze, hearing Quinn scream over the communicator. "Quinn! Are you alright!? what's happened?" he replied, a concerned look coming over his face as he turned to face the others. "no...I'll go get Quinn, I want you all to proceed and put an end to this, I have faith that you'll be able to handle this" Benten said, trusting them with taking down the person behind all this. After all, this was THEIR team, not his. "be careful all of you. The bond of the oath will still work at long distances, so you'll all still have acess to some of my power, but obviously who ever's behind this is very powerful, so tread cautiously" he said, racing off on all fours at impressive speed, leaping up into the air and skipping from building to building, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
The Red Blur
Roxane Chase
Roxy nodded as Benten told them to carry on the mission as he went to go find Quinn. "understood..." she said, suddenly throwing her arm around Prim's shoulders and smirking. "hey now, you aint tryin' to ditch out on us now are you? We still gotta job to do after all" she said, looking to the others and nodding. "well since cautious aint in my nature I'm gonna go ahead and take myself out of contention for leading the way, so after you guys" she said, motioning for them to go ahead inside first.
Once inside the museum they'd find the place already empty, most of the staff likely having headed home early after hearing about the riots. The entrance was a large open lobby, with all sorts of statues lining the walls, flanking the archways that lead to the different sections of the museum, knights by the museum section, Egyptian god statues by the ancient Egypt wing, etc. However one statue in particular caught the eye, and seemed familiar as well. By the archway that read ISLAND CULTURES stood two muscular statues that looked exactly like the masked tiki man they had fought earlier, the plague reading "Ku, Hawaiian god of war and fire". "really? please tell me that's a joke, we weren't really fighting against a freakin' god before right?" Roxy said, having zipped over to the statue to read the plaque. She turned around to look at the others, shaking her head a bit, though froze when she felt a hot breath on the back of her neck. The other's would see the one statue's eyes start to glow and it's body come to life. "don't tell. One of the statues is actually the guy we fought....and he's right behind me...." she muttered, hoping that he wouldn't do anything until she looked behind her like in the cartoons. Unfortunately the tiki god was already raising it's fists up to smash down on Roxy.
 The Obeah Man cocked his head to the side when Quinn suddenly told her to make it quick. It was strange. He could feel her fear, yet despite that all she asked for was a painless death, no begging for her life, no bargaining....it was strangely noble, if not a tad worrisome. "I do not plan to eat you child, and you should not plan to let me" he said, though suddenly out of no where Quinn swung her head forward and smashed into his snout. He let out an angered hiss and grabbed his nose as he fell back. "Graah! big mistake girl!" he growled standing back up on his hind legs and raising a clawed hand. His hand suddenly began swirling with green flames, and with the other hand used the doll to force Quinn to her feet. "looks like this is the end of the line girl, shame you didn't prove as fiesty as you claimed" he said, launching a ball of magical fire at her. However suddenly out of no where the ball of flame split in half, as if cut right in two, and flew off on either side of her "sorry Quinn, I was almost to late" Benten said, appearing before her with sword drawn, eye glowing yellow. "you're not hurt are you?" he asked, looking back at her and smiling. "don't worry, everything is going to be alright now" He told her, turning to face the strange lizard creature, his eye widening slightly as he seemed to recognize the person immediately. "wait..Jebediah...but..." he muttered. "ah Benton, what a surprise, I'd say I didn't expect to see you here, but I feel that sentiment is probably better fit coming from your mouth" he said with toothy grin. "I don't understand, you disappeared two years ago, we all thought you where dead" Benten said. "I was, but it seems death has so little meaning now a days, though I could rest, found myself yanked right back over to this side" he said, talking to Benten as if they where old friends. "wait, so this incident with the masks, they're really bringing all these people back to life?" Benten asked, hoping Jebediah would explain more. "Sorry Benton, I can't just give you all the answers, dog on a leash don't get to run free" he told him, waving his hand with the voodoo doll causing Quinn to suddenly kick Benten from behind, the cat falling for the sneak attack as he obviously didn't see it coming. Benten hit the ground and quickly rolled over back onto his feet, looking confused. "quinn what are you!?...damn..." he muttered, looking over to see the voodoo doll in Jebediah's hand, putting the pieces together quickly. "sorry Benton, you're little girl dances for me now....hmmm, and I just got an interestin' idea. Since you like swinging that sword around so much Child, why don't you test your skills against a real sword master?" Jebediah said, forcing Quinn to move over to Li-Fan's body and brutally rip her sword from his chest, no doubt causing him even more damage in the process. "Li-Fan!...Quinn don't tell me...." he muttered, trailing off as he didn't want to ask that question, didn't want to force her to answer either. He knew her actions where not her own, and it was probably already painful enough for her. "alright child let the dance begin" he said, forcing Quinn to lunge forward and start hacking away at Benten. However unlike Li-Fan Benten had no difficulty dodging her strikes with little efforts, showing his own skill when it came to fighting in the process. "alright Quinn, I need you to relax and focus, I'm going to get you out of this, but I need you cooperate" Benten whispered to her as he sheathed wailing dark and drew out Whispering Light, the blade of ultimate defense. He then proceeded to parry her strikes, her own sword bouncing off of his with great force, as if being repelled like a magnet. "I'm going to need an opening to get that doll away from him, but if I just break away and lunge for him he'll probably have a counter in mind, worse he may try to use you to stay my hand...right now he's using his magic to influence your general course of action instead of controlling each limb directly, as trying to directly control you to fight would be more combersome than letting your body's muscle memory do the work, it's sort of like auto-pilot if that makes any sense. Well sense your body knows better how to fight than he does, as long as your still acting within the parameters he set you can control your movements to a degree, so as long as your attacking me with the intent to kill as he wishes, you'll be able to guide your actions..." Benten explained, still whispering so Jebediah couldn't hear. "I need you to stay on the offensive and try to drive me back towards him, once we're close enough I'll quickly disarm you and then turn to go for the doll...but I need you to make it look convincing so we can get close enough without him catching one, so I need you to fight me like you mean it and make me fall back alright?" he told her, talking through the entire plan even as he ducked and parried her strikes.

Қɑɠҽ ◤The Shadow Walker◥ I lurk. ==============☠ ============== All around. Rei Ito Rei cautiously inspected the museum area. It's appearance was that of any normal museum. Nothing suspicious so far, it was just empty. Soon Quinn cried out for help through the communicator as Rei's eyes widened. She sounded desperate and Benten took off with no time to lose, entrusting the team to take care of the situation here. Rei nodded, reassuring Benten, "We got it." Sounding just slightly more confident than before.
"Glad you understand your self." Rei said as he walked ahead of Roxy who admitted she wasn't the type to cautiously take action. Rei's light blue eyes glanced the lobby,decorated with all sorts of statues. Rei paused in his foot steps as one of the statues looked very familiar. "That..." The masked tiki statues resembled the man from the previous fight. Roxy was already near the statue, reading the information on the plaque. "What that doesn't make sense.." Rei tried to put all the puzzle pieces together when he noticed something glowing coming from the statue. Rei's eyes widened as his reflexes instantly reacted, un clipping his special pistol from his belt while leaping closer to Roxy who was about to get a blow from the statue.
The statue would halt in its position of its raised fists as Rei shot the chemical that helps freeze the movement of anything for sixty seconds. This gave him just enough time to pull Roxy away from the statue, saving her from a dreadful hit. "HEY! What did we say about being cautious!?" Rei's voice was a bit louder than before. One can sense the irritation in his tone, something rarely seen. "Damn..that was close..Everyone watch your backs.."Rei stated as the dark shadow started engulfing his body, "These statues.. there might be more coming..we can't be sure.." His hands started glowing black, ready to lunge his shadow balls, " We don't even know how powerful they are.. Watch each others back too and lets work together on this!"
As soon as the chemical wore off, Rei quickly blasted away his balls towards the Tikki statue. After aiming the dark spheroids, he ran towards the walking stone, jumped in the air and landed a kick towards the statue's torso area. Once he landed on his feet, he quickly jumped back to observe what damage, if any, the statue would have taken.
