Xenon's eyes flickered as he fired yet another volley towards the storm's shifting mass, the dying gale finally starting to wane it seemed. Not from his attacks obviously, but more from the Mountain sucking it's strength from it every moment it stood idle. It was the same phenomenon which created deserts, when storms like this one got caught over mountains and slowly dissipated before they could ever make it to the lands other side. In a place completely surrounded by mountains on all sides, it was possible for no moisture to reach it at all.
Earth robbing earth of life...and yet now the very same action was sheltering the village from a storm...he grinned. Ironic how the same action in excess could destroy where elsewhere it would defend...strange, and telling. Xenon took another long breath. It was time to move on to the final stage of mastering this technique...then perhaps he'd call it a day. Three jutsu in one day was a little much even for him. He smirked.

The currents of the lightning, the flow of chakra...in him they were the same, they had to become so. In him he had to intertwine the two, chakra, the life blood of his very being, the lightning that coursed the heavens, ruled the sky...that which left the footsteps of thunder in it's wake.
In order for him to completely master this Jutsu, this technique...he had to completely master the chakra of lightning, to a point far beyond what he had before. To completely bend the inordinate amount of power that was being conducted, that was required for this move...he had to transcend his current knowledge of Lightning Jutsu...

Medusa watched, now resting her chin on one hand as she leaned forward, observing her master passively as he seemed to cut himself from the world. She could feel the power in the air now, the weight in the air palpable as her master's chakra surged across his figure. This was by far the most potent Jutsu that her master had ever mastered, this was obvious. Even if she'd known nothing of the Dragon bullet techniques, she would've known. Their were rare times when she'd seen her master go all out in his training, rare times when she saw the full spectrum of his power, and this was one of those times.
Xenon Maboroshi, in her opinion, whatever Xenon himself said, was beyond the normal humans that pounded the streets. There seemed to be something about him that she couldn't exactly articulate...something altogether...greater. It was in the others as well...others she'd seen while under his charge. Raine...Dash, Kimiko. They all seemed to hold a certain...something, that brought them far above the common stock of humans she was used to. It had made them more in her eyes the moment she'd seen it in them...made them to her, no longer ordinary humans.

As the storm died all around them, the rain relenting, the darkness thinning, Medusa lowered her hood, using her jutsu pull the moisture soaked deep within her clothes out into the open air. It was a very primitive form of the Ground sky convergence, and served rather well to dry one off. Xenon didn't act like a human, this had struck Medusa as odd when she'd first encountered him. At least not in the way that she knew humans to act. He was something altogether more logical...more insightful. She might have called it wiser, but even that wasn't quite the term. He seemed, more precisely, to be more technical, but in the truest sense. He wasn't merely technical with the workings of the world, but with morality itself, with every aspect of the metaphysical as well as the physical. It was certainly...she chuckled. Refreshing, for a human.

The lightning in Xenon's mouth was now scattering about him, the sphere flowing outwards slowly...controlled. The sweeping cloud of pure electricity swirled about him once before looming up above him, the front of the trail forming the visage of a enormous dragon. Indeed it seemed now, occasional bolts striking out at the rock, as though Xenon had called forth some great beast to do his bidding. A beast formed entirely of lightning...
Still to Medusa it was clear. The truth of the matter, was that that "beast" was a mere extension of her master himself. That dragon, horrifying as it was, was merely Xenon's power laid bare, his wrath incarnate. The Lightning Dragon bullet technique suited her master she decided.

Medusa's eyes shot upward as the glimpse of sunlight peered through the clouds. It seemed that the storm was breaking up quite handily now. It wouldn't be that long before the mountain claimed it's absolute victory. She tossed her hair slighty, adjusting slips of hair she had tied in-front of her, giving even her human the impression of a cobra. No doubt Mokutan was chatting with Kimiko, she wondered if he was enjoying himself.
Medusa had gotten used to the girl over the previous year, though she still couldn't imagine actually preferring her company over the masters, even if it was only on rare occasion. Mokutan though, she supposed, was always a bit more social then herself. Even while they were traveling with Xenon's sensei he was more adept at befriending the others in the group. She herself really only enjoyed tormenting them.

Xenon's eyes closed tightly now, his focus now completely lost to the world around him. He was concentrating all his attention on the jutsu. The ins and outs of the technique, the shifts and processes. all his knowledge of Ninjutsu ingeneral was now decoding it piece by piece. As he had suspected, this jutsu was not so simply discerned. He would have to rework a few things, adjust his chakra levels and the way he moved the flow. Everything had to be perfect lest he lose control of the jutsu in a critical moment. With a jutsu such as this he couldn;t afford to make allowances. With it's large area of effect, it could take out an entire battalion of lesser chuunin or Genin, let alone what it could do against civilians. This would be a move he would keep in reserve, keep up his sleeve unless the situation was most dire...
It was too powerful for him to use casually regardless.

As he had suspected. Yes...then he would have to change...
Medusa observed his deep thought with mild interest, her eyes slightly lidded as though she was about to sink into a short nap. It might not have been such a bad idea. She was often rather drained after her human transformation. It required at least half of her total Chakra reserves, and while it wasn't nearly as harrowing a process for her as when she had first met her master, it was still no easy thing changing one's very form. It wasn't even as simple as shedding one's skin.
She had just started to lower eyelids as a voice reached her ears.
"BOSS!" Medusa turned about dully, recognizing Mokutan's voice. The black bird was sweeping towards them as though his tail was on fire, his wing flapping obviously frantic. Though her was about to pass her by, he girl made a hand sign and with the other trapped him in a bubble, the water soaking the mountain and the little drops of water still in the air sweeping together to hold him. The bird was stopped dead, his avian eyes shifting rapidlly to Medusa as he shook his head from the impact with the water. "Hey! Usa-chan! What's the deal! This ain't the time for your little-"
"You're welcome." The girl announced looking rather unconcerned. She pointed towards their master's silouette, coursing with violent lightning as the Dragon jutsu loomed over head.
"Whoa..." Mokutan ruffled his feathers slightly. "Crap...that's pretty...oh." he looked at Medusa "Thanks." Medusa lowered the water bubble around him, the water falling as Mokutan himself flapped his way to the ground. Still the bird returned to his panic. "B-but hey! Boss! We got big trouble!"
Xenon didn't react, Medusa still looking bored. "He can't hear you."

Mokutan looked alarmed. "What are ya talkin about!?"
Medusa sighed "He's far too focused on the jutsu, I doubt he'll be able to hear you until he's finished at this point. Whatever it is will just have to wait."
Mokutan flapped his wings looking frantic. "What! B=but this can't! I saw him! I saw that guy!" Medusa raised an eyebrow looking less then bothered. "Kyojin!"
Medusa's calm fell away at once, her eyes narrowing as the brief flicker of a black chakra whisked before her lips. "What? Are you sure? You must have just been dreaming bird."
Mokutan turned his head looking grave. "Look Usa-chan this is serious! I saw him at the base of the mountain! If he's comin and the boss is like this then-"
"Then I'm more then capable of keeping him contained until the master is prepared. Besides, you COULD distrub him if you really wanted..." she looked at the frothing lightning. "You'd just die."
Mokutan looked at his boss with a searching look. "well yeah...but Kimiko and Raine are down there! what if that guy goes after them instead?!"
Medusa gave a light chuckle. "Then I pity him. If that Boy is truly back, and he and little Kimi are together, then Kyojin would be a fool to attack them alone. They can handle themselves until the master is finished."

Mokutan cawed looking bothered. "But...couldn't you shake him out of it? Aren't immune to his chakra to some degree?"
Medusa chuckled. "In it's passive form perhaps, but not in that channeled state." she snapped her fingers. "I'd be just as easily vaporized as the next person for disturbing now." she smirked at him. "And besides, even if I could I wouldn't want to bother him over something so trivial. If Miss Kimiko is incapable of defending herself, then she's a threat to the master."
Mokutan, to her susprise, actually seemed to accept this. "Yeah...I guess your right." he settled slightly. "If the boss trusts Kimi-tan to fend for herself, then I guess we should too...still..." he looked at her. "He's gonna be pretty pissed when he's done and finds out we mighta let his friends get in a lurch."
Medusa shrugged.

"Oh come now," Medusa assured looking up at the clearing sky now. "Do you really suppose that Kyojin would be so tactless as to attack someone such as the master's teammates without cause?" she stroked her own hair absently. "He's more like the Master then that."
Mokutan seemed to calm further. "I guess...still...I still couldn't predict where that guy was pitchin from even up to the end." he looked at Medusa. "You?"
Medusa actually seemed to fall slightly puzzled. "Not entirely no. He was...unpredictable. He does seem to have a mild sense of...fair play? But at the same time..." she seemed to ponder it over. "I think the only person who really understands him is Xenon-sama."
Mokutan seemed to admit to this. "Yeah... I guess your right huh. Those two did seem to understand one another somehow...like they were... I dunno. Like somethin about them was the same."
Medusa nodded.

Mokutan sighed clearly growing impatient. "Maybe we should go see what's going on...see if Kimi-tan's okay..."
Medusa looked at him somewhat bemused. "Honestly. You'd think she was a fragile little china figure." she turned her gaze back to Xenon. "Rest assured Moku, if Kyojin was capable of defeating Kimi-chan and Raine, then we'd be of little help." she leaned back carelessly. "The master is the only one I'd count stronger then them, and even that is uncertain." Mokutan looked at Medusa somewhat surprised. "What? Do you think me a fool? That girl is a machine of fire and steel. With her Kage Bushin she could easily best ninja twice her age. The only time the pair of them have fought one another seriously, she matched the master blow for blow...I should think you'd recall that better then most."
Mokutan shifted slightly. He did indeed remember the battle a year ago...remember the radical power that had been unleashed in that single duel...

"And unless the Chicken hawk has changed greatly since we last saw him, then he's formidable as well. I am not really concerned for their safety, to be entirely honest."
Mokutan settled down looking slightly disjointed. "I...guess so. It still doesn't seem like we should just be taken it for granted like that. I mean...that Kyojin guy was probably the strongest guy that the boss ever fought. He ain't just powerful...he's as sharp as the boss is."
Medusa chuckled light-heartedly. "I wouldn't give him that much credit...but I suppose you might be right. He was nothing if not cunning."
Mokutan shifted to look back down the mountain. "I don't see anything that looks like a fight broke out...Kimi-tan's Jutsu are pretty distinctive so..." he sighed. "I guess things are okay...for now."
"Or it means they didn't even get a chance to put up a fight." Medusa teased with a smirk.
"Not helping!"

Xenon's chakra was completely eclipsing the world now, the Dragon having near doubled in size since he began. He could feel the technique as a whole now...could grasp the flow and bend it to his will. This was the power he'd been seeking since that first moment he'd lost everything. This was the strength of a soul that was destined to become strong...the soul of a child emerging from his past. The Beastly visage of this jutsu was more then for mere decoration...it was the inevitable form of the destruction it wrought. This attack was a savage and yet honed temperance of Beastly rage and chilling precision. It was an attack that suited him, that appealed to him. This attack and he...he had been seeking it for a long while. Once he mastered it...he felt he would be that much closer to his goal...to his TRUE goal....

Xenon took a long deep breath, the lightning seeming to weaken for a moment...but it merely the calm.
The calm. This entire last year had been the calm. It was so clear to him now. Everything leading up to this moment in time, to this very moment since the end of his battle with Kimiko, had been the calm.
But the calm was about to end. That was what xenon had felt, what his senses had been trying to tell him. Something in his very soul knew it long before he did. His soul that was itself like unto the heart of the storm, the lightning, lord of the black sky, had known of the calms ending, and that was the sense of forboding that had been haunting him of late.
The calm continued for but a moment more. Memories of the past year with Kimiko, Mokutan, Medusa and Dash-taichou flashed in his mind...even his occasional chats with Crow and Sanako-san...
Then...
