 ＸＵＥ "Yᴀᴏ Lɪɴɢ" ＳＨＵＦＡＮＧ
Supernatural Combatant | Mental Manipulation | Reactive Adaptation❝ xɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴏɴ sᴏᴍᴇᴏɴᴇ ᴜɴʟᴇss ʏᴏᴜ'ᴇ ʜᴇʟᴘɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ᴜᴘ.❞ Shúfāng listened to the others in the room speak. Her mind was making millions of billions of connections at the moment as it processed plan after plan from beginning to end searching for one that may hold success. " We would have to alter the very fabric of fate to go unnoticed and unhindered by counter measures." Her words were said in a robotic tone. Her mind continued to process the information as she shut her big blue orbs for a moment. The ideas ran through her head at an incredible speed. Her attention then turned directly to Ten who had just finished speaking. The demons eyes opened into a narrow slit as she tuned everyone else in the room out. They were goign to quarrel and speak but Xue knew who would get things done in the end.
" Ten." She stated the name to draw the attention of the woman directly. Xue no longer cared about the others in the room. She simply wanted to propose her final thoughts before leaving to gain more information on the enemy and their movements. " There is one more thing. In the swamps outside Arkham a woman who has become more and more notable as of late. She started out as a street peddle but has recently become note worthy." Shufang hated herself for going on rumor and superstition of this mysterious woman. She often dealt with facts so this was new territory for her to stumble into. She would tread very carefully with the words that came out of her mouth next.
" I've heard whispers that in the swamps there lives a voodoo practitioner. It is said that her powers have yet to have been brought to a limit. It is also said she isn't someone you cross." The woman spoke with less strength behind her voice. She knew it wasn't the best option by any means but it was an option that she had to bring up. Xue wouldn't hide potentially valuable information from those who needed it. Well, those loyal to Zaibatsu who needed it. " The land she lives on also has a history behind it. The option may be worth glancing into if need be. Just, be sure to be courteous." Her words of advice silenced after that. Shu had no more to say to the group outside of other options for plans she developed after hearing what they needed to say. She was strong with tactics and the skills her time in Root required her to hone. Idle conversation outside of the mission was a skill she had lost long ago with her moral conviction not to kill ever again. Sometimes, people just had to die along with the concepts brought on by them.

Ten turned to Shúfāng as she spoke. She listened carefully and quietly, blocking out the others around her.
The woman in the swamps—ten recognized that from somewhere. Someone had mentioned her, then she realized Judal had brought her up before when talking about Diamond looking for Six. Apart of Ten hoped that little royal wench died in the process of finding the voodoo woman. “I’m not so much worried about her as I am lucian, as I do not know much of her, but if her an lucian teamed up, this may be a problem—“
Ten knew of Shúfāng’s mind erasing abilities, and she knew they would come in handy. “You’re quick right? Strong? Do me more of a personal favor than one that would benefit the Zaibatsu? He would be of benefit to have here, but this is more closure for me.” Ten asked, in almost a kind manner, which was unusual for her normal tone. “Go check on my husband, make sure he’s alive. Ask him how I can get him out. Make sure my son is alive too—and hit on him a little, he needs a wife.” Ten chuckled to her own joke, she would rather Shúfāng fancy her son than the human who admired him so. “If you get caught, they’ll kill you, and if they know what your purpose is there for, they will kill Nine and Eleven, so don’t slip up.” Ten smiled at the Demon, she knew she could be of service, and a strong pair of arms on the battle field one day.

ＸＵＥ "Yᴀᴏ Lɪɴɢ" ＳＨＵＦＡＮＧ
Supernatural Combatant | Mental Manipulation | Reactive Adaptation❝ xɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴏɴ sᴏᴍᴇᴏɴᴇ ᴜɴʟᴇss ʏᴏᴜ'ᴇ ʜᴇʟᴘɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ᴜᴘ.❞ Shúfāng listened intently to Ten as the woman spoke to her. She noted that the second woman she had mentioned seemed to be of less importance at the moment and that was good. They did not need another power player on the field at the moment. Things were definitely going to be difficult enough as is. The demon knew her mission would be difficult but she would take the necessary measures to be prepared. The one thing that the woman did not expect was Ten to request a personal favor.
Her icy blue gaze fixed on Ten a little more as she half-tilted her head. It was not curiosity but more so a faint hint of concern. " I will do this for you Ten. If they yet live, then they will be returned to you." Her words were nearly a whisper against the voices of those around them. Shúfāng did not have much to say outside of that point. There was only one thing that she wished to make clear. " I will promise that to you and if I cannot deliver on my word I shall not return until I can or I am dead." The words were a direct promise from the demons mouth. She had not sworn such an oath in many years. This was not a situation that should be taken lightly and it was her way of proving that she addressed it with whole-heart seriousness.
I should begin where my trail last left off and use the resources I have available. Her mind whispered the thought to her gently. Once the gentle nature passed it immediately began to calculate infiltration methods from zone she knew of. Shúfāng would have to develop other ideas simply off of what information she could gather at a later point in time. The only note she made a point to enforce was avoiding Lucian at all costs. The stories she had heard made her wonder if her power would be as effective on him. The blue-eyed devil had no intent on testing that theory yet. "If that is all, then I shall depart immediately. I bid you good luck and favorable winds." Her words were colder than one would expect but she still offered a half-failed smile at Ten. The demon had long forgotten the expressions true meaning and could offer little reassurance outside of her words and actions. Hopefully, Ten wouldn't rely on a smile for comfort in the situation.

 Eon's eyes narrowed upon the hooded man. "Did you speak to your last king this way? If so I'm surprised you still live." he spoke calmly as he released his grasp upon his large claymore and stood from the seat of power that was the Zaibatsu's throne.
"Silence!" his voice stern with authority. "Shufang, do as Ten request's. The rest of you are to remain within the walls of the Zaibatsu until a plan is made to defeat Lucian. Train. Prepare. Do what needs to be done to ensure you live through the coming battle's. Each and everyone of you are vital to our success. Stay ready. Be prepared. Remain alive." his eyes glanced over to Ten and nodded.
"And you! Scientist, doctor or whatever you may call yourself. You will report to me, back here, once you are set up in the lab." he eyed the man warily as the man had an aura of insanity and unpredictability which was dangerous. Though perhaps it was best that the crazy man chose them over Lucian.
 Rye eyed Ten innocently like a small child being scolded before narrowing his eyes. "Your son, the greatest scientist?"
"My fair lady. I do not think you understand that no scientist is greater than another. I am in my very humble opinion a great scientist. But to call anyone the greatest would be most conceited. Perhaps the fact he is your son blinds you to other people work? Never mind that I..." he was instantly silenced by Eon's command for silence. He couldn't help the chuckle at the mans speech.
"Such bravado." he whisper to himself. he took his glasses off and began to clean them when Eon instructed him to set up his lab and then meet up with him. He bowed dramatically before standing back up and placing his glasses back on.
"As his majesty wishes." he said almost sarcastically. He was most eager to see this lab. Maybe he could smuggle in a few 'willing' test subjects? Perhaps use a few prisoners? Sure they would let him experiment upon inmates? Well he was sure he would work out such a deal to make it so. With that thought he left for the basement where the lab was located. He had to make sure it was adequate after all.

Serane turned to six as he held his sister, she asked for him to place her into her arms, and slowly he did so. "I will take her up to where she sleep. I will let you know if anything happens." Quickly, leaving the throne room, Serane removed Diamond from the scene and headed upstairs.

She ventured her way to the Zaibatsu keep and to the throne room. Once there she could see there was alot of turmoil within their ranks.First impressions are key, and she was not all the way impressed. She began to approach the throne of the young man when she saw that one of their warriors had a child pinned under their foot. The boy was beaten quite severely which angered the ancient flower even more. Releasing her rose whip it fasted itself around the boy and she pulled him from under the warrior. She place the boy in her arms and healed his injuries with a kiss. Turning to the warrior she glared at him with murderous eyes. How dare you treat this child in such a way. Even if he did something wrong doesnt mean you get to beat him half to death. As an ancient guardian i cant allow you to continue. She places the boy in a healing flower and approaches the young man upon his throne. The same chair she formed in Lucian's throne room appeared here as well. crossing her arms and legs she spoke.

Ten watched them all discuss their plans to essentially fail. This was pointless. They needed to run and hide, this wasn’t a group thing, you either lived or died by helping yourself. But having a group seemed to give them comfort. She sighed as she leaned her head against the door frame and looked outside in the direction of Lucian’s kingdom. She could see it from where she was standing. It was monsterous compared to theirs. “I was thinking about you. I wanted to check on you and remind you I love you—“ Ten spoke to Eleven. She wasn’t sure if he could hear her, but she hoped he could. She turned her gaze back into the throne room.
“Shu, you don’t need to bring them back, i wouldn’t try, they will kill all of you because of my actions of sending you there in the first place. Lucian is my father in law, he will do anything at his best to make sure my family is good and dead. Just make sure they are alive and come back. I don’t care who’s mind has to be wiped, just make sure you aren’t caught.”
Ten was quickly cut off by the woman in green beside them. “Get out.” Fury boiled in ten’s soul as the person spoke of scooping out Lucian or them. “This isn’t a candy story, you don’t get to pick and choose which side after hanging out—Leave, or I’ll send your head back to Lucian in a box.” Ten scorned the female, leaving her side at the door she approached her alarmingly. Ten had no problem fighting anyone at this moment, she would do it and win.

Eon tensed at the new comer and with the mention of Lucian and Ten's outburst he grabbed his large claymore and appeared where the woman had encased the injured boy and cut it open before grabbing said boy out quickly pulling back before she could use him as a hostage.
"Unless you have information regarding Lucian you should leave. Everyone here is on edge and you just made yourself a target by announcing you just met with our main enemy." Eon placed the child down before he stood upright and aimed the tip of his sword at the plant woman.
"You say you have yet to decide which side you will follow. So as I said before, if you have information we will take it, if not leave or join us but make you choice here and now. Side with us or Lucian. If you side choose the latter I will not attack you and let you leave."

She realizes that they are more so on edge than angry. Her golden eyes gaze analytically at the man before her. A grin crosses her face as she spoke. My apologies your lordship. It was not the best idea to come in saying that I just left from your enemy. Be that as it may, it would not be wise to greet a potential ally with such hostility. A good king knows how to keep a level head under pressure. She peeks around her chair to get a good look at those present yhen palms her head in her hand. When I was human my father use to tell me marvelous tales of the warriors of the lands of the zaibatsu. How they braved any crisis handed to them. I use to admire those fortunate enough to be a part of thos place. But seeing how you are short staffed and obviously have no need for me and my experience in medicine and natural healing I will take my leave. Besides there is a lil girl whos power can raise the dead i must nurture and train. She goes to make her way to the exit when she passes the firey women. She was overcome by extreme sadness, more so a loss of someone special. She wanted to encourage the woman but didn't come here to fight. She noticed another woman who was intune with nature and gave her a flower that grew from out the ground at her command. Turning to the man she made one last statement. You have quite some shoes to fill. This kingdom was once something special to me. And to think I was going to offer my help.

" The ultimate Arch-Angel. The last of my kind, remainder of the shattered remnants of a lost people. This freedom is the only thing that should matter. As long as you wield that, you cannot go wrong. You think you can battle on a level worthy of my attention? Don't make me laugh. You're one thousand years too soon to presume to command me. " [¤*-ȘῘӁ-*¤] No grave can hold me down.   Nodding as his soul mate exited with the intention for caring for his sister while delivering her to the proper medical facility within the organization; a wave of nostalgia crashed over the Arch-Angel. It had been decades since he had ever set foot in the kingdom he had ruled and brought to the pinnacle of its long lifespan. The urge to go and explore just how much had changed coarsed through his veins like nothing before. But at the same time, something felt quite wrong. They had entered the Zaibatsu throne room with absolutely no effort and effectively slid in without any sort of resistance. Where were the royal guard that were to point their blades at anything that seemed to be even slightly suspicious? The overall defenses and wards to keep out anything mystical or infiltration attempts on the organization's person. This entire thing seemed wrong. Taking the chance to look around, the former Zaibatsu CEO's eyes widened with surprise. First, there were very few soldiers within the walls of the base. If this werre war, they should have been out almost constantly; gathering info on the enemy, upgrading their defenses and bringing the fight to the dark empire that threatened their rule. Not cooped up and merely waiting for destruction to come and annihilate them all. He had not recognized any of those that stood only a few dozen feet or so in front of him. All but one struck out within the crowd. The woman, the Numbered Being known as Ten. Despite it being years and her physical appearance altering substantially, Six had no trouble recognizing her. Their encounters may have been brief but he had come to respect the other due to being Nine's companion and the other sole survivor of that /other/ world of old. As he walked forward, the morale within the entire throne room was incredibly low. From the bits and pieces of the conversation he was beginning to pick up, a being from the enemy lines had managed to slip into their walls without so much as a peep of difficulty or protest. Narrowing his eyes, Six scowled with disapproval. It was a disgrace; seeing just how much the Zaibatsu had fallen since he had 'left', giving the throne up for the future generation. If he were to know the result of his choice to battle Eight to the end, he would have at least kept one of them alive to tend to the Zaibatsu from time to time. No wonder Diamond had sought him out personally. The situation was more worse then he could have possibly thought. As his footsteps echoed across the vast pavilion, the lost King finally made his prescence known. While he knew absolutely no one would recognize him, he first stared directly towards Eon without stating a word. He did not have to. It was written all over his facial expression, posture and mannerisms. This man was not fit to rule and lead the Zaibatsu in his current state. That much was for certain. He was very inexperienced; ill-advised and hadn't had the slightest idea what he was doing. If allowed to remain in power, he speculated that it would merely accelerate the destruction of his people. Turning his attention towards Ten, he rose his voice and essentially ordered her to his side to explain why she had let his organization fall to such a level of disorganization and depravity. " TEN! It's been a long time, hasn't it? If you may so kindly answer my question, if you would be so bold, as to tell me what the Hell has happened since my absence! I'm going to bottom-line this because time is short but this place is incredibly insufficient and a mere shamble of what it once was. Its glory days will never return at this rate! The defenses are nonexistent, the organization/execution is severely flawed and its King is inexperienced and fool-hardy. I assume you are in position of power, correct? This is absolutely shameful. " Having essentially silenced the room at this point by bluntly declaring the Zaibatsu to be a mere shell of its former self and a shame on its name of what it once was; he then glanced up at the current ruler, Eon. Crossing his arms, the Archangel gave off the vibe of a true veteran; his power and ability far surpassing those who were currently within the throne room walls with ease. The only other being other then Ten who had been there since the Zaibatsu's recreation and revival; one of the original Kings and last of his clan. The legendary Six of the Zaibatsu. Third CEO to the throne and credited to be the most successful and powerful leader in its history, even moreso then Eighth Diviner; many had speculated. He had finally returned to where it had all began. What was his intention...? " If I were to have known this was to be the future generation to inherit this kingdom; I would have let myself die to allow Jamarr or even Eighth Diviner to regain his rule. Quite pitiful. "  " Over the many years I have walked this Earth, I have seen many tragedy befall before me. But no matter what else happens,I continue on my endless journey. Leaving the good fight and placing my faith in the next generation. To continue the legacy and keep my home alive. "

The metal titan takes a step towards Orchid, raising his hand as if to halt her progress from his position several feet away. Hold up, Infuriato says to her, If it is no trouble, I wish to return with you to Lucian. If that is indeed your next destination.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"You cannot see me, hear me, or touch me. I lie behind the stars and alter what is real, I am what you really fear. Close your eyes, and I come near."

Before she leaves she is in awe of a figure she knew from the stories her father use to tell her. She approached the man but kept her distance seeing how the others were hostile towards her. My eyes must be playing a trick on me. It is you. One of the legendary kings of the Zaibatsu. My father use to tell stories of you to me when I was human. She bows to the icon and takes a step closer to him in order to size him up. She's quite impressed with what she saw, thought him acting like he was better than others left a bad taste in her mouth, she overlooked it due to the fact she believed he should be up on the throne instead of the young man. My name is Orchid Everthorn, Ancient Guardian of Nature, and it is an honor to meet you in person monsieur legend.Taking another bow she hears the voice of one of the warriors and his request. She laughs at the thought. It will be eventually. I have to prepare my forces just in case i have to entertain unwanted guest. She cuts her eyes at the man sitting upon his throne. Besides your needed most here. The Zaibatsu can't afford to loose anyone else to their enemy, thought it would seem as if they dont care at the moment. I dought you'd make it out of here alive my friend. With that she begins to make her way to the mount outside when she stops at the angry women and causes a flower to grow next to her.

Ten heard a familiar, old voice, and when she turned to see his face, she was shocked. Her eyes widen with surprise and she was almost speechless when her sight laid upon the man who was thought to be dead for 20 years. How was here before them? Living flesh. It was almost as if he was a gift sent from the Gods, the Gods she had abandon long ago after her homeland was destroyed. It was life as if they knew they needed his assistance, Zaibatsu or not, the two would come together with the other major powers to take down Lucian. “It has been a while—and you’re alive, how?” Ten was curious as to what brought him back. “Six is standing before me Eleven.” Diamond was right, as the whole Doma and zaibatsu alike found her insanity of her brother’s liveliness ridiculous and humorous, it would seem the young Arch angel was right on. And maybe Ten could make use of her abilities.
“A lot has happened since your absence, and I’m not sure I could go into great detail unless we had the time to do so. Simply put, after your death the Zaibatsu rose as a super power among the lands under Xenon, and the Doma became dead. Gyouken, the newest Doma reviver, took out the Zaibatsu, it’s strongest powers and it’s kingdom. She was quickly put to her death after summoning the medium wrong, and Nine’s father has come to take over the world. We stand here with nothing, as he stands there with an army, and his over powered self.” Ten spoke to the old king, the one who once ran the strongest empire anyone had ever seen next to Eight Diviner. “Ha! a leader!” She laughed out loud, what a ridiculous idea to even suggest! “As for me, I am not a leader, ever will I be. To see a woman in such a position is preposterous! Woman need to step down from the male leaders and accept they are inferior. I, do not have a leader personality, though Nine does. And if he were not incarcerated right now, the possibility of him being at the throne is greater than anyone else here. We choose the son of a rival, he is young, but power, and could do a much better job than I.” Ten would throw everyone to the lion, if it benefited her. She worked alone, unless he needed someone for herself, and right now, taking down lucian and regaining her family was her only priority, helping the innocent, was not a concern, but Lucian taking over their world was. If you’re weak, you die, only the strong live and fight.
“As for you, such a leader, living and not coming back to a kingdom that needed guidance, your assistance will be greatly appreciated though, along side the new king. But I cannot say you’re a godd fit to take the throne six, you did not return to help your own kingdom, instead you were bringing home women, as i saw one walk beside you, am I not right?” Ten smirked, she knew it probably bothered Six he was no longer in power. Nor did she care, but she sure did enjoy knowing he would be annoyed by this fact.
