Welcome to Gaia! ::

::Hinata made note that yet another Kage had entered the room, and yet more enemies. However she didn't let this faze her, she had the immediate fight at hand to deal with::

I will not let my village fall into the hands of these people...

[[ Pardon my long absence. I've been having troubles with Gaia recently, only been able to access one guild. I kept getting some stupid food error every time I tried to come here and kept getting logged out when I went to Forums. And -please-, you underestimate me. Three or four Kage balance Komm out? ^_^ I'll see you in your nightmares... ]]

Komm snorted, if such a sound was at least possible from him. "Komm of the FALLEN Shadow, I predate any of your withering Hidden Villages." The mother-of-pearl mask covering Komm's face shifted, smiling... "I have had centuries for my power to grow... and you children are about to undergo suffering unlike anything you could have ever imagined..." The Kuraisennin/Yamikage snapped the fingers of his black-gloved hand as the Shadow Golem trudged forward... ebony and crimson flames trailing from every sinew rippling beneath its metallic and obsidian-encrusted flesh. Within the facets of these gems, one could see faces... tortured, screaming faces of silence - the souls of Hell.

Komm stood back, his shadow performing Kuji-In [Hand seals]. "Play with them, immortal guardian of Hell." The great beast raised its left claw, and all light in the room was suddenly extinguished - not even the light of Chakra could pierce through this veil. Hinata and Kodomo would find it easier to see now than previous to this ability of the Guardian, as the creature itself seemed to disappear. It had no Chakra of its own, so it could not be felt - no smell to be tracked - no sound to locate. It moved through the darkness despite its massive size... and then struck with its rending claws for the exposed backs of the newly arrived Kouukage's men with a force hellishly devine in nature. Komm seemed to cease to exist entirely.

::hinata would not let the kazekage off that easily. A low handed swipe with the chakra sword in her right hand came swinging at the kazekage's legs, quickly followed by a higher, spinning strike, from the left hand::

::Kazekage easily blocked the attack that was directed to her legs with her chakra sword like arm, but was to late on noticing the second attack of Hinata's left arm and barely had time to block it.She pulled up her arm and felt the pain, she winced to herself, glaring at Hinata, the fight had barely begun, she will make sure of this. Kazekage then moved to her right and quickly spinned behind Hinata and came up behind her, she could still feel her arm hurting from the blow. With that, Kazekage striked at Hinata with a fast blow::

Shion reacted quickly to the incoming blow by pushing it away with what seemed to be a very large amount of static electricity. Of course, Kodomo would feel this through his sword. She did it through her own sword, using it as a medium to store chakra in from a jutsu she performed ealier. She then quickly hopped off from the cloud and onto the ground,running up the only wall that was on the roof. She then stood there,on the wall, trying to read everybody's movements as best as she could in the darkness.

[[ Genjutsu? Hardly, Komm uses very few Genjutsu. Komm isn't even registering on anyone's senses at the moment - the Mon'ei no Jigoku [Guardian of Hell] just commanded flocks of darkness to sap away all visible spectral traces of light energy. Fire may still burn, but the enemies of Komm will not be able to see it. It's not a matter of overcoming the darkness with pure skill, it's physically impossible for a human to see through it. Kodomo and Hinata were given a reprieve by the great guardian as he allows them to see -through- the shadows, as per the way that Komm does. (Because of his Kuraigan bloodline technique) ]]

All about, the foes would here... disorienting and disturbing laughter... thousands of voices both soft and vicious - deliciously delirious, blending with the piercing cries of slaughter and rapine. Were these the sounds of hell, or the souls of the Dark Sage allowed voice in the physical plane? His own voice was silkily smooth and emote with a slight purr - from all directions at once: "Your pet will starve, and I will feast upon your soul Raikage... you have dared to cross that which cannot be defeated, more ancient than your most dated history... and more powerful than you can possibly imagine."

Laijin and the others, with their heightened senses, could sense the presence of eyes watching them... but not from one particular direction or even one particular set. There were possibly a million eyes boring into their very hearts with an itching sensation attached to those as so unguarded as to notice. Faint images appeared here and there in the darkness... children playing ball, a ninja at a podium, past sages and various figures most well-known throughout Ninja History. All came and disappeared in an instant, one could hardly be sure the ghost-like images so bland and devoid of color were there at all.

Techniques aplenty, this didn't seem to be Genjutsu... but it was all that was visible in the darkness of the room.

::Hinata felt the pain lance through her as the kazekage slipped through her defenses. This time though she rolled forward our of reach and then turned again, panting from keeping the chakra swords active. But at least she could tell that she had hit at least a few tenketsu in the Kage's arm, that was her little glimmer of hope.

however this wasn't going to help her much, so she let the chakra swords fade, and quickly began another series of hand seals, finishing them with a burst of chakra. Suddenly a cloud of birds, seemingly all formed from chakra but solid as any living creature appeared around her and launched themselves at the kazekage::
