After leaving the outer part of the ship, Despair would materialize in the air above the upper city. As he appeared falling down, Despair looked around and saw the vast buildings and the countless humans that called that place their home. "This ship is truly magnificent." Despair said as he continued his descent, leaving a trail of yellow light in his path on the way down. After a few seconds of falling, Despair would finally land on the ground, releasing a powerful shock-wave upon impact. The shock-wave was so strong that the buildings around him would shake rapidly as any glass would shatter instantly. Despair did little to hide his presence, but anyone would be able to see that he was a serious threat, though he didn't seem to be interested in fighting. To the shock and dismay of all the citizens there, Despair's sudden appearance caused them to run about in fear. Paying no attention to them, Despair was searching for another way out, as he figured that it would take too much time and energy to try and blast a hole, thus making his own way in. Thankfully, he wouldn't need to as he sensed two familiar souls, surrounded by some rather powerful ones. Vanishing, Despair appeared right in front of Shira, "Yo, Shira, where's the way out?" he asked, completely ignoring the fact that she was in the middle of a fight, either that or he didn't care.
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.

Takeshi's shadow returned to normal for just a moment. Watching Maku was a sign to Takeshi, they had to try something. Okay Takeshi...don't be dull witted...think of something you can use to your advantage! As Becky and Naomi had appeared, he did't think too much of it except the fact that it'd mean more handwork. More Machinist could have been a problem, but when Naomi had mentioned that Becky had no augmentations it was seen as an opening for Takeshi. As Takeshi plotted against the Machinist he immediately noticed the loud ruckus caused by Despair. He could tell it was him again, the tingling sensation he had felt in Herald's temporary realm was back. The first time he had been around Despair was in Herald's other dimension, he immediately felt weirded out by the man's presence. If the man wasn't on Herald's side then he'd go through the greatest efforts to avoid him. Once again I'm getting the chills... With everyone's attention set on him he could make his move, his shadows were agile enough to get things done, or so Takeshi believed anyways. He could use this chance to gain the upper hand and move forward. "Since he's here I'm guessing the others have arrived as well, that's quite reassuring actually. Now that the others are here I can attack, no more delays." His shadow swayed from left to right before multiple tendril-like hands emerged from it. His wavelength increased slowly, but it was increasing.The hands began to move in a fast paced manner as they were slivering along on the ground aiming directly for Becky. His goal was to capture her and use the young girl as a hostage of sorts. While his hand shadows attempted to wrap around Becky's body and restrict her, Takeshi poured more magical power into creating his usual shadow tendrils. Three tendrils were aimed towards Zanza, each one was manned by Takeshi in the other end, he knew fully well that the Machinist weren't to be taken as lightly. They had augmentations that made them superior to the race they were augmented to handle. Zanza would either be immune, dodge, or just do Takeshi a favor by allowing himself to be struck by his attack.
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.

Appearing second, Nasiga comes out to step into this large city sighing deeply in boredom already sensing two familiar presence- despite the action going on in front of her, it's just how her personality is. "Two semi-worth people are here....awesome. And, five not important with a side of lame is here as well." She plainly said, picking her ear with her free hand having her partner in his weapon in hand using him as a stander only for now.
After missing Shira Maku circled back and hovered high in the air. She bite her thumb as she surveyed the area. More people had turned up and they weren't with the order. So as to avoid Saint Clara's wrath Maku wirelessly activated the red alert and issued an announcement over the tanoy system. "This is not a drill, intruders have entered the Upper City. Repeat, intruders in the Upper City."
Zanza's team reacts swiftly and activates Genesis protocol. Soilders appear and finish the evacuation. Each solider had been augmented by Zanza specifically to combat madness,and would not be easy to deal with in large numbers. The arrival of the new enemies held no cause for alarm to Zanza. Weather Demon,Witch,Miester,or Shinigami Zanza would not back down. Zanza's eyes emit a faint light, and a red ring appears around the pupil forming a power button symbol. While in use, this magic allows the Egil to see everything in slow motion. Out all the new arrivals Zanza's attention was focused more on Despair. Something about his power reminded Zanza about something familiar....Something about his past. His eyes flicked back over to Takashi's attack just in time to laugh as it was deflected by his shield cube. The the transparent hexagonal shields would only be visible for a moment before vanishing.He could have blocked a multitude of ways,but Zanza wasn't one to show all his cards at once. His wavelength started to appear as static discharge slowly outlining his body.
How cowardly;attacking me when my attention is elsewhere. I wouldn't have expected as much from one of Lady Shinra's crew. Why not just challenge me like a man,or is that even possible for a creature like you. Zanza states coldly.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ [ Active Wavelength: Demon Repelling Discharge]|Active Augmentation: Drones,Privilege Perception ]| Active Power: ]|
Augmentation
Privilege Perception: When invoked, the Egil's eyes emit a faint light, and a red ring appears around the pupil. While in use, this magic allows the Egil to see everything in slow motion.This works by speeding up his perception of the world around him, allowing them to react faster and execute more precise attacks. However, this magic does not affect the speed the Egil can move, only the rate at which they perceive things, so users can still be caught off guard by very fast attacks. However, after prolonged usage, the eyes begin to strain on Egil's energy, making it useful for single, short bursts before retreating them. It is normally used by Egil to track down targets who are retreating.
Drones:theses machines are not only able deal physical damage to targets, but are also able to fire rays of soul wavelength electricity as a way of dealing magical damage. As a ranged alternative, his drones can also be configured to form a powerful electricity cannon the same way. Egil is able to manipulate the electricity the cannon fires by either using his hands or kicking to fire powerful electrical blasts. This allows his attack style to freely transition between long and close range attacks.
Powers List
1. Plasma: Egil is capable of creating a spinning orb which he uses for offense and defense or channels the plasma into his body granting enhanced capabilities.
2. Madness Wavelength Discharge: Egil releases a madness discharge increasing his strength significantly.This is usually his counter measure against most opponents.
3. Demon Repelling Discharge: Allows Egil to effectively fight individuals harboring or reliant upon the quality of madness, such as Witches and those afflicted by Black Blood, as even Immortals are not immune to injury in the face of this wavelength. It's similar to The Anti-Demon Wavelength but different in instead of fighting off corruption by madness it allows the user to fight those who spread it.
4. Soul Purge Discharge:An advanced technique which combines Soul Menace with the element of lightning. This technique surrounds Egil's body and drones with pressurized soul wavelength based on the element of lightning. Apart from enhancing his arms and legs for combat, the technique allows him to instantly inject his soul wavelength to an opponent with every hit. The technique itself can be controlled and fired at opponents from with his drones.
5.Glide:Egil is able to stand on top of his drones, allowing him to stay afloat as long as he wants.
6.Phase Shift:Allows Egil to switch between battle modes.With a 5 post cool down. Lunatic Besrker: This shift focuses on an aggressive brawler-like fighting style . Egil's drones form armor that allows him to constantly pound the enemy with a flurry of punches and kicks with superhuman strength and speed.
Drone Moogle :Each Drone Egil uses is now is unique and a lot faster, Egil can switch to whatever Drone he needs to best fit the situation. In addition to Drones,Egil uses various mechanical weaponry .This shift is more ranged combat based and relies solely on drones for battle.
MechanicalWeapons:
Explosive discs rocket missile-fired from drones Drones form a mini laser cannon Spinning blade discs cube bombs electromagnetic pulse cube
Archive cube-stores data
Master Cube: a flurry of cubes that fly around rapidly and come together to form a cube assistant. The cube will attack nearby enemies on its own, behaving similarly to an NPC summon.
Repair units: This takes the form of a backpack style canister on Egil's back that deploys droids. Their hands are able to hack into most technology and correct errors in the systems and attempt to repair machinery with nano mites , although the drones are defenseless and are indeed weak. It isn't very hard to stop the process, but if target and the Egil can keep the enemy off it is effective.
Negation Cube: A frequency producing drone that causes a severe interference-like effect to communication equipment on a wide, but fairly general scale. The pulse seems to even mildly affect weaponry, and targeting systems--but it can only cause small but notable malfunctions. It seems to be identifiable only by the severe static interference that seems to occur in the visual type communication screens, and in the sound of the vocal communication screens.
Cloak Cube: A special cube designed to hide Egil. Particle manipulative devices allow for the cube to basically bend the light around it's form, and shape to a near perfectly invisible state. The device seems to linger rather then simply be turned off, and in certain places has levels of intensity to it's affect on it's surroundings...from a 'reality bending' phantom-like appearance to almost nonexistent effect. This affect can be knocked out by Emp burst,and only shields Egil from sight.
Shield Cube:Cube drones create hexagonal shields that overlap each other to form a defensive grid. Not only does this make it harder and more time-consuming for the enemy to land a successful hit, it also increases the energy absorption strength of the shield , and is useful against multiple combatants firing energy or magic blast or shielding a small group of allies at once. However, they are harder to create because they take a great deal of concentration to use in large quantities. Continual high-yield blast in close proximity to the Cubes will severely deplete Egil's own energy and cause drastic decrease in his defensive strength.
Hack Cube=Capable of scanning and wireless connectivity where appropriate,USB and TRS connector cables and a USB port are included. Egil usually uses this to mess around,and requires him to be around a lot of technology. Large cities like New York are more suitable for its use.
Holo Cube=This cube amplifies the thought waves and broadcasts them to a specific location through illusionary bodies. The images are usually refracting an array of spectral colors, much like a rainbow. Causing the illusionary bodies to distort and flicker, as if receiving electronic interference, and the users voices are altered the same way. Egil usually uses them when dealing with other machinist members when his busy.
Transport Cube:Can connect different areas through portals for a quick escape. Egil usually keeps one or two on him for a quick escape.
Scouter cubes': High powered cubes that quickly processes data sent to, and from the facilities of Egil's Lab. Cube quickly gathers data on battle tactics both from the team, and the opposing team--and acts as a detailed analyzer that allows Egil to quickly come up with battle strategies through a built in high-provability simulator.
7.Shock Spears:Egil creates several electric spears around himself for a certain amount of time. The electric spears attacks forward from behind him with great piercing power.
8.Maximum Phase Shift:Egil's Soul resonance technique that pushes his shifts to the limit.Last ten post.
- Machina Mastermind: Egil gains a new array of Drones with enhanced homing abilities. His attacks are far more powerful and reactive.
-Static Apocrypha : Egil is now capable executing Soul Purge with more force and destruction by combining his wavelengths.
Arai could feel the ground shake as two newcomers made their entrance. "Dammit, what are the other guys doing?" Arai said as he braced himself and wondered how others could have made it this far. As Arai braced himself he witnessed Zanza deflect shadowy arms. Arai's eyes darted around and saw that Takeshi manipulated the shadows, hoping the shadows weren't after him he glanced and saw that there were actually no shadows around him at all. However, he noticed shadows snaking along towards Becky. Arai couldn't help but feel a strange jealousy that Becky, one without augmentations and less of an apparent over him. Clearly not realizing Takeshi's actions to obtain a hostage, a spark flickered around Arai's legs as seemed to disappear and re-appear next to Becky as he grabbed her by the waist and then reappeared next to Maku with Becky by his side. It was obvious to those who witnessed it that he had speed augmentations that enhanced his speed well beyond humans. "Whew," Arai smirked as he rolled his shoulders, "Nice try, but next time you try to take out one of my allies, try a little harder." Arai sneered at Takeshi sounding a bit angry.

Becky stumbled backwards as Maku blasted past her but managed to catch herself before she fell over. In the next moment another opponent entered the Upper Cities from above, causing the entire ground to shake and a general evacuation to be ordered. "He must have come from the roof," Naomi observed with a frown. "Looks like Mercy wasn't able to stop them. It must have something to do with what's going on out there..." she looked back in time to see Despair appear in front of Shira. She didn't even have time to take this in before Takeshi suddenly launched shadows forwards, aiming towards Becky. Naomi's eyes widened as she began to run forward but Arai beat her to it. Becky was whisked away in a moment, narrowly avoiding Takeshi's shadow tendrils.
Naomi quickly looked over to where Arai reappeared. "Be careful!" She yelled at him. "You can't yank her around like that or you could break her neck!" She gave a sigh. "But...thank you." Then Naomi looked back to Takeshi, her eyes filling with a glowing anger. "You're going to pay for that you non-human filth!" She said angrily. She closed her eyes suddenly and then opened them again. In a bright flash of light her weapon manifested around her:
IMAGE NOT TO SCALE: The blade is roughly the size of a normal sword and the chain is approximately 9 feet long.
Naomi wasn't about to wait around. But she didn't move either. All she had to do was focus and the chain-sword began whipping and jerking back and forth in the air like an infuriated snake. In the next moment it fell to the ground before shooting towards Takeshi, slithering rapidly as if it were alive. Once it got close enough it raised upward, swinging in a full circle at Takeshi before lunging up and slicing down towards him from above. "Let's see how well you kidnap children without your head!" Naomi yelled, seeming to have taken on a completely new personality. The chain-sword whipped around again and slashed towards Takeshi's torso.
Shira blinked as Despair appeared. Good. That meant that the airship team was successful at getting here. "By 'a way out' I hope you mean an exit that leads to the place where the dungeons are as well as Atticus," she told him. She glared at Zanza "Last time I checked, one of your team mates did the exact same thing five seconds ago," she told him before motioning to Maku. Black tendrils appeared on Shira's back once again before she glanced around, her soul perception on high so she could try and locate Vince or Atticus' soul wavelengths. Obviously that was her top priority now. While searching she felt the wavelengths of her allies and grinned slightly. Perhaps they would be making a hell of a comeback now. Faintly, she felt another wavelength as well, one deep within the headquarters.
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.

Takeshi sighed as his attempt to capture Becky had failed. His shadows retracted back to his shadow just in time to see how obviously upset Naomi was with her niece almost becoming captive. He was hoping he could discover the prisoners location through Naomi but that wouldn't work. One of the others interfered with some top notch agility. As the Machinist seemed a bit annoyed by his attempt he merely annoyed it. Turning to Shira he looked a bit disappointed. "Sorry I couldn't capture her. I was trying to see if they'd tell us where your friends were if they'd had a bit of incentive." Takeshi was telling the truth but how far was he willing to go to get it? It didn't matter much at the moment, he had invoked one of the Machinist's rage. Since he was apologizing to Shira he didn't notice Naomi's attack until it was just above him. Looking up he panicked before using his black step to dodge the attack, leaving the afterimage of himself in its place. It was too late however, he was too slow to completely dodge the sword. It lightly grazed him as he appeared a little forward from where he first was, but he had no clue of the cut. He noticed all the robots and Zanza once again. Was his attack not strong enough to pierce his body? All that Takeshi could guess was that Zanza was augmented to deal with magic, not the madness. He didn't spot the shield he used to defend against his attack. It didn't occur to him that there were those that could artificially augment themselves to madness, anti-madness soul wavelengths were one's birthright. Takeshi didn't have time to focus on Zanza, not now. He had to deal with Naomi, or he felt he had to. If Zanza were to interfere then he'd have to deal with him at the same time as Naomi which would have been truly unfortunate. Looking over to Naomi he spoke with a loud an obnoxious voice. "Your lucky she escaped by grasp, if I gotten her I would have devoured her soul! Ha! I bet her soul tasted delicious as well, after I kill you I'll take her soul as well!" Takeshi was just messing around with Naomi, he wasn't really hungry for any souls. "I'm just messing with you miss, your souls would probably taste disgusting..." Takeshi laughed and looked down at his shadow, but was shocked at what he saw. His sweater had a tear in it, he was bleeding as a moderately sized cut appeared across his body. It looks like I got hit after that after all. The wound wasn't as bad as it was in actuality, it wasn't as deep a cut one would expect considering the size. "Ouch..." His shadow sprouted tendrils once again, five black thread tendrils aiming to pierce through Naomi's body. Two more tendrils were aiming to cut apart Naomi by slicing her apart in a x-formation.

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.

[ Threat: Extremely Dangerous]|[ Despair ]|[ Title: Demon of Light and Hope]|
Waiting for Shira to reply, Despair watched as the young man named Takeshi unleashed quite the sneaky attack against the other people there. Though his shadow-like tendrils were easily stopped by the brown-haired guy and the white-haired one. Letting out a whistle, Despair smiled, "Boy, things are getting pretty interesting down here." he stated before looking back at Shira, as she finally responded. "Well, of course that's what I meant. The only reason I'm here is to locate those two and maybe have a battle against this so-called leader of theirs." Suddenly, Shira began searching around, no doubt she was looking for the souls of Atticus. Sighing, Despair positioned himself in front of Shira, acting somewhat like an bodyguard, "I guess I can stand here and give you some time to locate them." he told her. Despair's overwhelming power and size, became all the more apparent as he genuinely seemed prepared to fight or kill if need be. While standing guard, Despair would notice Takeshi's abilities not to mention his somewhat mischievous and snarky attitude, something that he and Despair seemed to have in common.
Soilders slowly start blocking of the escape routes. Zanza turns his gaze onto Shinra eye full of cold fury.
Your going to associate me to that sorry excuse of a woman, you pathetic excuse of a Shinigami? Team? That word doesn't register to me. I just want to live the way I see fit. If anyone gets in my way I cut them down. That goes double for anyone in the order,you can kill anyone here and I wouldn't so much as shed a tear. I've saved up a whole load of energy awaiting your arrival. Just killing off a bunch of nobodies like these punks you've brought with you isn't nearly going be enough to use it up. You really think you're gonna take ME out?! Little pieces of trash like you?! Don't make me laugh.
You and the entire Death Family are nothing,but a joke! Under normal circumstances, humans should have continued to evolve as the greatest creatures upon this earth, but we were actually regressing. Why you ask,because we live in a rotten world. You Shinigami are supposed to protect humans,but over the years you've chosen to side with demons and witches! Why, then should you keep the right to protect humans,and be allowed to exist? You Shinigami fancy yourselves to be the purveyors of some great 'justice' of your own making! Such a useless beings existence sickens me. Zanza states coldly.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ [ Active Wavelength: Demon Repelling Discharge]|Active Augmentation: Drones,Privilege ]| Active Power: ]|
Augmentation
Privilege Perception: When invoked, the Egil's eyes emit a faint light, and a red ring appears around the pupil. While in use, this magic allows the Egil to see everything in slow motion.This works by speeding up his perception of the world around him, allowing them to react faster and execute more precise attacks. However, this magic does not affect the speed the Egil can move, only the rate at which they perceive things, so users can still be caught off guard by very fast attacks. However, after prolonged usage, the eyes begin to strain on Egil's energy, making it useful for single, short bursts before retreating them. It is normally used by Egil to track down targets who are retreating.
Drones:theses machines are not only able deal physical damage to targets, but are also able to fire rays of soul wavelength electricity as a way of dealing magical damage. As a ranged alternative, his drones can also be configured to form a powerful electricity cannon the same way. Egil is able to manipulate the electricity the cannon fires by either using his hands or kicking to fire powerful electrical blasts. This allows his attack style to freely transition between long and close range attacks.
Powers List
1. Plasma: Egil is capable of creating a spinning orb which he uses for offense and defense or channels the plasma into his body granting enhanced capabilities.
2. Madness Wavelength Discharge: Egil releases a madness discharge increasing his strength significantly.This is usually his counter measure against most opponents.
3. Demon Repelling Discharge: Allows Egil to effectively fight individuals harboring or reliant upon the quality of madness, such as Witches and those afflicted by Black Blood, as even Immortals are not immune to injury in the face of this wavelength. It's similar to The Anti-Demon Wavelength but different in instead of fighting off corruption by madness it allows the user to fight those who spread it.
4. Soul Purge Discharge:An advanced technique which combines Soul Menace with the element of lightning. This technique surrounds Egil's body and drones with pressurized soul wavelength based on the element of lightning. Apart from enhancing his arms and legs for combat, the technique allows him to instantly inject his soul wavelength to an opponent with every hit. The technique itself can be controlled and fired at opponents from with his drones.
5.Glide:Egil is able to stand on top of his drones, allowing him to stay afloat as long as he wants.
6.Phase Shift:Allows Egil to switch between battle modes.With a 5 post cool down. Lunatic Besrker: This shift focuses on an aggressive brawler-like fighting style . Egil's drones form armor that allows him to constantly pound the enemy with a flurry of punches and kicks with superhuman strength and speed.
Drone Moogle :Each Drone Egil uses is now is unique and a lot faster, Egil can switch to whatever Drone he needs to best fit the situation. In addition to Drones,Egil uses various mechanical weaponry .This shift is more ranged combat based and relies solely on drones for battle.
MechanicalWeapons:
Explosive discs rocket missile-fired from drones Drones form a mini laser cannon Spinning blade discs cube bombs electromagnetic pulse cube
Archive cube-stores data
Master Cube: a flurry of cubes that fly around rapidly and come together to form a cube assistant. The cube will attack nearby enemies on its own, behaving similarly to an NPC summon.
Repair units: This takes the form of a backpack style canister on Egil's back that deploys droids. Their hands are able to hack into most technology and correct errors in the systems and attempt to repair machinery with nano mites , although the drones are defenseless and are indeed weak. It isn't very hard to stop the process, but if target and the Egil can keep the enemy off it is effective.
Negation Cube: A frequency producing drone that causes a severe interference-like effect to communication equipment on a wide, but fairly general scale. The pulse seems to even mildly affect weaponry, and targeting systems--but it can only cause small but notable malfunctions. It seems to be identifiable only by the severe static interference that seems to occur in the visual type communication screens, and in the sound of the vocal communication screens.
Cloak Cube: A special cube designed to hide Egil. Particle manipulative devices allow for the cube to basically bend the light around it's form, and shape to a near perfectly invisible state. The device seems to linger rather then simply be turned off, and in certain places has levels of intensity to it's affect on it's surroundings...from a 'reality bending' phantom-like appearance to almost nonexistent effect. This affect can be knocked out by Emp burst,and only shields Egil from sight.
Shield Cube:Cube drones create hexagonal shields that overlap each other to form a defensive grid. Not only does this make it harder and more time-consuming for the enemy to land a successful hit, it also increases the energy absorption strength of the shield , and is useful against multiple combatants firing energy or magic blast or shielding a small group of allies at once. However, they are harder to create because they take a great deal of concentration to use in large quantities. Continual high-yield blast in close proximity to the Cubes will severely deplete Egil's own energy and cause drastic decrease in his defensive strength.
Hack Cube=Capable of scanning and wireless connectivity where appropriate,USB and TRS connector cables and a USB port are included. Egil usually uses this to mess around,and requires him to be around a lot of technology. Large cities like New York are more suitable for its use.
Holo Cube=This cube amplifies the thought waves and broadcasts them to a specific location through illusionary bodies. The images are usually refracting an array of spectral colors, much like a rainbow. Causing the illusionary bodies to distort and flicker, as if receiving electronic interference, and the users voices are altered the same way. Egil usually uses them when dealing with other machinist members when his busy.
Transport Cube:Can connect different areas through portals for a quick escape. Egil usually keeps one or two on him for a quick escape.
Scouter cubes': High powered cubes that quickly processes data sent to, and from the facilities of Egil's Lab. Cube quickly gathers data on battle tactics both from the team, and the opposing team--and acts as a detailed analyzer that allows Egil to quickly come up with battle strategies through a built in high-provability simulator.
7.Shock Spears:Egil creates several electric spears around himself for a certain amount of time. The electric spears attacks forward from behind him with great piercing power.
8.Maximum Phase Shift:Egil's Soul resonance technique that pushes his shifts to the limit.Last ten post.
- Machina Mastermind: Egil gains a new array of Drones with enhanced homing abilities. His attacks are far more powerful and reactive.
-Static Apocrypha : Egil is now capable executing Soul Purge with more force and destruction by combining his wavelengths.
Shira looked at Takeshi and nodded "It's alright," she told him before going back to searching for Atticus. She smiled faintly at Despair as he seemed to act as a bodyguard. She then heard Zanza go on a full out rant. "Sorry to burst your bubble, but one of the reasons my kind exist is to make sure people like you don't get overly hyped and full of yourselves. Kishin and witches aren't the only monsters out there. Humans are just as capable of committing sins as they are. I exist to keep the innocent safe even if they are not human. Go ahead and insult me all you want, that isn't going to stop me from my objective which is saving my friends," she told him calmly as she continued using her soul perception.

[ Threat: Extremely Dangerous]|[ Despair ]|[ Title: Demon of Light and Hope]|
Hearing Shira's and the white-haired boy's conversation, Despair would remain standing in front of Shira. Only when the two had finished speaking, would he finally let out a small laugh, "You seem like a truly pitiful human being." Despair began. "Do you not hear the drivel that is spewing from your mouth? You say humans should have continued to evolve, but you go on to whine about not being protected by the shinigami. You, my friend, is the definition of weak and pathetic." he stated. "You would rather have the shinigami protect you. No, protect the entirety of humanity, while you do nothing but live blissful ignorance or in your case, seek out some other powerful being to stand behind and worship. Honestly, you humans have gotten complacent over the years." Despair then looked back at Shira, "Though I do not have any particular feelings towards the Shinigami or the DWMA, I at least see that the young men and women that are associated with them, aren't as weak as you. They didn't just whine about the world or throw a fit, they actually did something about it, they stood up and fought with their own powers. Unlike you, who gets his power from another, yet you dare look down on Shira. If you can't stand on your own, then you will perish." Despair turned back to look at Zanza, "If you deem the shinigami useless than you are beyond useless. Your very existence is meaningless. So much so, that being in the same area as you, infuriates me to no end." Despair was showing a side of him that he never showed to anyone, he was genuinely angered.
Arai sighed and put his hands up. "Geez, a growing girl like her can learn to take care of herself." Arai said as he patted Becky on the head and stopped as he remembered the doting relationship between Becky and Naomi. That Takeshi fellow was either an idiot or way to cocky if he thought that angering a monster was a good idea after he literally attacked its young. Arai diverted his attention back to the DWMA's leader, who seemed to be protected by the man who made a very large entrance. Zanza seemed to be rattling on about how great he was again, but Arai couldn't care less until Shira and Despair replied on the subject. "Then where does that put you!?" Arai butted in, "Humans, kishin, and witches can cause fear and terror, but so can you! All your 'society' cares about is personal gain, if it doesn't benefit you then it's placed on your hit list. Try and deny it, but isn't that why you're here? We attempt to halt your influence and you come to eradicate us. After all, why the need for a secret airship with highly skilled operatives otherwise? I've seen your kind before, you act all high and mighty because you have power over others and by preaching of "protecting innocents" and "a common goal" you're allowed to be god in your little playground. And now that an abnormality like us has appeared in your world, you demolish it so you can go back to sitting on your throne." Arai glared at the duo as they insulted humans and stated their "values" it was people like them with the notion that everyone can be saved and that all people have the ability to protect themselves. "Humans are weak," Arai continued, "We can only stand up by ourselves giving the time and protection we need. Unlike demons, witches, meisters, and the rest of you, humans don't have the power to stand up by themselves. We weren't fortunate enough to be born with any innate abilities to take care of ourselves. Yet you exploit that fact, preying on our faults and using your gifts to terrorize us." Arai knew he was probably going to be screwed by taking on these two, who seemed to be the strongest of the lot here, and by possibly angering them he wasn't making this easy on himself, but this was a battle he couldn't avoid if not for his life, then for his pride.
