Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Hmf....you don't have time to look away from me....kid" Kokujo said darkly as his shadow arms twisted into each other, merging their energy into one bigger tendril-arm. The arm whipped around and snatched his shuriken out of the air where it was circling after his first throw, swinging it round in a wide arc and building up huge momentum because of the length of the arm. "Black Crescent Cyclone!" He shouted as he loosed the wound-up shuriken at MB, the shadow energy from the arm all flowing into the shuriken on the point of release, making it's blades take on the power of Kokujo's Black crescent attack as well as it's normal deadly force, creating a whirling black cross that flew towards MB at speed, hopefully before his attack struck Kyla.

*the Mysterious Boy gets sliced in two by Kold's battoujutsu and thrown around by Kokujo's Black Crescent Cyclone, and falls to the floor as a bloody mess*



"Damn...it hurts so much....is this how that woman felt at that time....?"


*Kold walks over to him. He's clearly done attacking. Even so, Kold approaches cautiously.* "You...who are you? Why couldn't my abilities work around you? What woman?"



"Heh heh....wouldn't you like to know."


*Kold begins to take the mask off the boy, to see who he was supposed to be. For whatever reason, Kold had to know.*

*Kyla turns and sees Brimmstone. She is, obviously, annoyed at the fact that they couldn't confirm the boy's identity. It's been ages since she's seen him. Her whiskers twitch in annoyance, but she turns her attention to Kold and places a hand just at his temple*
Does your head feel alright? He didn't do any lasting damage did he, mew mew?

Kokujo caught his shuriken as it spun back to him, the remainder of the dark energy on it's blades streaming off and dissipating in the air. He didn't sheath his weapon just yet, but seemed to ease himself a little as he wandered closer to Kold and the fallen MB, also interested in seeing what was behind the mask. Before he even caught a glimpse though, a burst of flame took care of what remained of the boy.

Kokujo quickly looked up, recognising the feeling and knowing who it was almost instantly. "Hmf....Brimmstone....I'd guessed you were around here somewhere..." He greeted him in a rather hostile manner, He'd never really put much trust in Kold's fiery brother. ".....So how long have you been lurking there watching us clean up after your mess?...." he added disdainfully. Though he wanted the answer to a more pressing question, he gathered by the recent display that Brimmstone wouldn't reveal the identity of the mysterious kid they just defeated.

"What my associate here means to say is that you're a jerk for not leaping to my defence at the first sign of danger!" Corbenik waved a furry fist "I could have been....HANDled" he added

*Kyla blinks. Her opinion of Brimmstone is constantly in a state of flux depending on whose side he appears to be supporting, but seeing him seemingly controlled makes her feel sad. She shakes her head, then punches her fists together*

I've been waiting for this for a while. Forgive me Kold, but I am going to punch the sense back into your brother's head, mew mew.

*Brimmstone struggles to retain his sanity, but his rage is being amplified by something or someone. Soon he'll be a tough boss battle*


*then, two familiar figures walk down the stairs behind Brimmstone. The Big Boss himself and his undead controlling necromancer associate: Zehuti Faust*



"It's been a while. It looks like you've gotten stronger. Good. Though at this point, I don't really care which one of you survives. You're starting to become a nuisance. Whoever survives this battle, you can finish whatever business you have. But to make this more interesting..."

*Yokoshima holds his dark arm out and a etherial red bracelet appears around his wrist. Three tri-edged claws protrude from the bracelet and orbit the it*

"Megas Siphon."

*Yokoshima performs a remote version of Megas Claw and draws out all of the souls Brimmstone had absorbed. There's dozens of them. Now, Brimmstone will lose every absorbed ability he gained.*

"Dr. Faust, I leave the rest to you. I hope you find something of value in these fools."

*Yokoshima laughs as he walks back up the stairs*

*Kyla roars at Yokoshima's retreating figure*
FIGHT US YOURSELF YOU MURDERING COWARD!!

*Kyla unsheaths Hien and takes a fighting stance. Her gaze shifts between Brimmstone and Zehuti*
