The girl laughed as she heard Mirai's comment to Texas. "That was the original plan actually. But once we were able to gauge your strength through Texas, we realized that a.....specialist would be required. He's running support for this one. No offense Texas!" Texas watched from the sidelines, his arm still formed into a flamethrower. "Nah, I figured as much. They don't send you as support so it had to be me. Fine with me though. I haven't seen you fight for a while; it's nice eyecandy. I'll watch." The girl rolled her eyes. "Boys," she told Mirai as if they were best friends. She prepared herself as Mirai summoned thousands of swords. "Ha!" The girl moved in a blur as the swords came at her from multiple directions, kicking and smacking them away almost as fast as they came. Some made it through to her but again their damage was barely enough to slow her down. Suddenly she spun and launched herself again towards Mirai. "You're just prolonging the inevitable," she told Mirai before firing several more energy blasts at her as she came.
And I just want to show them.

I wish you could see The bridge that leads from you to me But every time you try to cross You always manage to get lost
Without a second glance you left me stranded I climbed I slipped I fell but at least I tried If you turn your back, I'll burn that bridge
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Mirai looked down at Texas "Huh... glad to know the real personality likes others fighting for him." she muttered as she looked back at the girl. She grimaced then as it seemed that she wasn't phased by her attacks still. She tried moving out of the way but was blasted down by the energy blasts. She slammed into the ground, coughing up a huge amount of blood. Mirai managed to get up then "Damn..." she muttered under her breath between pants. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The girl walked slowly over to Mirai, still grinning. "Let's finish this," she said as she reached her. She could tell Mirai was weakening. She raised her hand, aiming it towards Mirai before she released a large burst of pink and black energy blasts towards her. Whether or not they hit, the girl would follow them up with a close range attack aiming to uppercut Mirai straight in the chin.
And I just want to show them.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Mirai ended up taking the attack yet again, not having enough time to recoup. She saw the girl head over for an uppercut but managed to teleport behind her, burns covering her body. She was also bleeding in a few areas as well. She panted as she glared at the girl. She glanced at the flowers again that were still humming rather loudly. She grimaced then "Too soon... but it is better than nothing..." she muttered before managing to stand up straight. The lights from the flowers suddenly began floating and launching at Mirai. It was a sort of failsafe system, she placed small amounts of energy in every flower, letting it grow there until Mirai really needed it, like a power boost. Her injuries began healing, it honestly wasn't as much energy as she had hoped since she had only created this realm a little while ago. A sword appeared in her hand then and she got into a fighting stance. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Oh, that won't help," the girl assured Mirai as she walked towards her. One moment her stance was relaxed and calm. The next she was exploding in movement. She reached Mirai in a split second and jerked her head forward, attempting to slam Mirai with a headbutt of extreme force.
And I just want to show them.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Mirai yelped in pain and flew backwards from the headbutt. She slammed her sword into the ground and used it as assistance to help her up. The realm began to shake slightly as she continued trying to gather energy from it. The waterfalls froze in place suddenly, like time stopped in her territory except for her and the other two. She blinked then as she saw something, a vision of her dying from this girl. She grimaced, unsure if that was true or just some part of her growing nervous. She managed to stand up yet again, gripping the sword tightly. The territory actually weakened to the point where any security in it was gone, allowing any demon passing by to enter at any time if they wanted to. God forbid that happened though. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"She's draining out. We're done here," Texas said, folding his arms as he waited for the girl to deliver the killing blow. The girl nodded, fixing her cap as she walked up to Mirai. "Don't worry sweetie, we'll make sure you're not lonely; we'll send your friends along to you too." She focused her energy until pink and black electricity began to crackle around her hand. She pulled back her arm, getting ready to punch Mirai straight through the head. "You should close your eyes.""You should use yours better." A large paw covered in black fur snatched the girl by the back of her collar. "And your mouth. You'll need it to scream." The girl's eyes widened in shock as she felt the hand clinching down on her collar. Suddenly she was ripped off the ground and into the air before being slammed back down into it on her head. The hand was attached to Herald, and he didn't let go. He lifted the girl up again and threw her like a spear straight towards a nearby boulder. The girl slammed into it like a bullet and it practically exploded, covering the near area in dust. Herald took a deep breath and fired several bright green fireballs into the dust for good measure, letting the explosions take care of anything that was left. He looked back to Mirai. "You aren't dying are you?" He asked as he towered over her. Meanwhile Texas was taking several steps backwards. "W-what is this!? How did you know!?" He asked. Herald didn't seem the least bit interested in Texas. He figured Emma and Takeshi would take care of him. What mattered was that Mirai needed to not be in the process of dying.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Mirai's eyes widened at what the girl said "What?!" she asked before the girl was about to deliver the blow. Mirai tried to move but couldn't due to how weak she was. Suddenly, a familiar presence appeared, Herald. He attacked the girl, making it look so easy before turning and looking at her. She stared up at him with a look of surprise before shaking her head. Meanwhile, Emma ended up behind Texas, white flames flaring up everywhere as she swung a blazing kick towards Texas "Take that, traitor! And make sure to tell your little group to go suck it!" she snapped, obviously angry. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Gee today has been nothing but a bore and its likely the next day will be a bore. Aw who are we 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.

Running over to what appeared a female demon, Takeshi quickly assessed her to see if she was okay. She looked like she had been fighting for awhile and was growing weaker. "Don't worry or fear! I'm not from that order...thing...whatever its called. Are you okay?" Turning his head he could spot Herald getting rowdy with one of the other beings that had ben there before him. "Wow...he can still fight. That guy is on an entirely different level! He's like wow!" Unfortunately it couldn't be helped, Takeshi couldn't suppress the childish spirit from within, but at least it lightened up the mood for people sometimes. I'm guessing the one over there is Texas. I better go help Emma so you just wait here and recover." He smiled at her eager to join in another fight. Distancing himself from Mirai so she wouldn't get caught up in the fight he began to use his black shadow magic once again. Sending whip-like strips of darkness towards Texas to smack him around a bit while at the same time avoiding hitting Emma directly with his shadow attacks.
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.

Some men just want to see the world burn...
And I just want to show them.
"Good," replied Herald simply. Texas turned to face Emma as she appeared behind him. He countered most of her flames with his but some of them got through, giving him serious burns. Texas switched his arm into a flamethrower and fired back at Emma, not noticing the tentacles until it was too late and they smacked him in the back, sending him tumbling forward before he regained his footing. "We've gotta go!" Texas yelled towards the debris where the girl was. "We can't win this!" Several seconds later the girl Herald had beaten up came stumbling out of the smoke. Her clothes were badly torn and she was bleeding from multiple wounds. Herald's attack had definitely been effective. "Yeah. We almost had her. Next time," the girl replied in disgust. She looked at the others. "We'll be back. You just made this a lot harder on yourselves." Herald laughed. "If I get killed it won't be by you, wench," Texas looked over at the girl quickly breaking away from Emma and Takeshi and running to her side while the girl glared at Herald angrily. "Let's go," Texas told her before a portal opened in front of them. Texas stepped through the portal first. The girl spat on the ground before following him through, the portal slamming shut behind her.
[[exit Texas and the girl]]
Herald looked around at the realm. It looked almost as bad as his at the moment. "Good. We got here in time." He looked back at Mirai. "Get up. We have a problem."
I wish you could see The bridge that leads from you to me But every time you try to cross You always manage to get lost
Without a second glance you left me stranded I climbed I slipped I fell but at least I tried If you turn your back, I'll burn that bridge
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Mirai continued watching the three in surprise. Why did they come to help? All those thoughts halted as she felt her body go numb, her demon form disappeared as she reverted to her usual form. She was so drained of energy she could barely stay conscious. She ended up falling on the ground then, barely keeping her eyes open. She saw the realm begin to dull in color then as well, the gates over by the mansion collapsed too. It looked like the realm was almost dead and unlivable now. She watched helplessly as Texas and the girl left. She thought she heard Herald say something but couldn't process it as everything went black. Emma dodged the attack Texas sent at her and watched as the two left before looking over at Herald. Her gaze went to Mirai as she was now passed out and quickly went over to her. She put her hand on her neck "Yeah... talking will have to wait... she won't be waking up anytime soon..." she said with a neutral expression. She managed to get the unconscious girl up on her back then. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Well that went well...I think." His shadows retracted and his own shadow went back to normal after becoming misshaped. Walking back to Mirai he whistled a little tune before coming to a halt just before her. Right now Takeshi didn't feel it was time to speak up and besides Herald was better off explaining the situation anyway, mostly due to Takeshi still digesting the ideas of human augmentation. Then there was also what the girl with the pink hair had said about making the situation harder. She was most likely referring to Herald and Emma as well as Mirai but it still bugged him not knowing what she really meant, of course he just assumed it meant she would be back to try and end them once again. "All of this sudden moving around isn't good on my body. Next time I take a break I'll be sure to ease back in to fighting...," he muttered to himself. When Mirai's realm started to go dark and losing its original beauty Takeshi felt disheartened. It also surprised him a bit more to see that she would pass out but then again it seemed as though she had been fighting for so long and by herself none of the less. "How bad is it? Maybe you can pull out one of those healing tag things, like back at that park." Determining her condition Takeshi's expression turned grim. "On second thought I think she might need something stronger."

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.

So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down...
You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain...
☽ "Uh... I only had one of those actually... My alternate self made them and she just gave me one." she said with a nervous laugh. She glanced back at the unconscious girl on her back "She looks badly injured, but she passed out from exhaustion so she should make it... I am guessing she used whatever energy she put into this realm to heal as much of her as she could though that left her open to any attacks since she couldn't fight back." she explained to Takeshi. She glanced around then "Though using the realm as a way of gaining energy didn't help her much." she muttered as her ears pinned slightly. All of the flowers they were standing in were wilted. Emma assumed that this place must have been very beautiful before the fight. She looked at Herald "Uh... we can't leave her here... that group now knows where she is... can she stay with us then for a little bit?" she asked. She was pretty sure she was asking quite a bit at the moment. ☾
Gee today has been nothing but a bore and its likely the next day will be a bore. Aw who are we 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.
Energy Output 0% Soul Wavelength Stable/Calm
Takeshi closed his eyes and crossed his arms. "Its a shame I never learned how to use healing magic. She must have had it rough fighting those two alone. They were also suppose to be specially augmented to handle her as well, she had no other choice but to use the realm to heal herself." Peeping through one of his eyes and seeing the flowers all wilted he could tell that she had absorbed nearly every drop of energy the realm had to offer. "When she's all healed up she'll be able to restore her realm to its former glory. Maybe you and Herald could restore your realm back to the way it was before everything had gone bad." Opening his eyes and moving his arms to both sides of his hips once again he looked down looking a bit upset. "When you called that fire guy a traitor...was he Texas? The Reaver said they were partners. Why would he just attack? Then again it could have just been a cover to assassinate her. And if what The Reaver said about him being the leader of the order in his world then do you think he's planning on doing that? But more importantly...what else should we know about the Machinist Order?" Moving his head up he realized how crazy this all was and let out a small laugh while scratching the back of his head. "This is all crazy isn't it? One moment I'm talking to two strangers as a cat and then I'm suddenly thrown into all this chaos. Talk about one heck of a day. So how long do you think it'll be until she makes a recovery. Most of the demon species usually recover faster than others. If exhaustion was the case then I don't think it should take too long for her to wake up...but how long until she's ready to get back on her feet. If they're targeting her and she's vulnerable then that won't be good now will it? I think you should keep her close just in case." OCC: Heads up! I might lose power where I live so I'm just posting early just in case. ^^
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.
Herald gave Emma a look that said Are you kidding!?. Then he let out a sigh. "Fine. We can't have her die and we can't leave her here. Better bring her somewhere where we can keep an eye on her and keep her safe at least." He turned and began walking towards the bridge that they had created to enter Mirai's realm. "Apparently it's open house day at my realm..." he muttered. He looked over at Takeshi when he heard him. "Who knows? Who cares? They want a fight they got one. We can find out all we want about them when we're holding them over a fire pit. I'll let you ask them anything you want before I drop them." He turned to look back at Emma and Takeshi as he reached the bridge. "And as for my realm, we won't have to wait that long. I'll fix it as soon as we get back. Mirai's realm will have to stay the way it is until she recovers and comes back." There wasn't much that could be done at this point since the assailants had run off, but according to The Reaver they would most certainly be back. Apparently Mirai's mom would be a target too, but Herald didn't really care about that and he didn't see any reason to tell Mirai about it right now.
