Welcome to Gaia! ::

'Damnit... took too long... I was afraid of that... It takes too long to make the combustion with my current level of skill...' Quickly raising his seven shields from his spinning turtle formation in front of them again to forge a buffer against the wind; and as the flames rushed towards them, Eluamous quickly made the proper hand seals upon a piece of parchment and throwing it into the flames as a mist formed out of it; sealing the fire attack. Now then... where was the suicidal b*****d? Had he really been stupid enough to jump to his own death? The sound of ripping cloth behind him and Eluamous quickly used his Aisu Kirikae no Jutsu (Ice Replacement Technique) to create a block of ice in front of him before flickering out of the way; leaving Yuan in a burst of high speed due to the moon village shinobi's body flicker rushing towards the ice replacement; obviously the high speed and with using it in midair left no stable surface for the shinobi to turn or stop; thus he would slam face first into the ice; and as Eluamous flickered out of sights; keeping his back to the shinobi the entire time before flickering out of sight; sending all seven spears from his spinning turtle formation to strike down on Yuan's end location. One from the left, one from the right, one from the back, the last four from each angle at the diagonal back; From above, Eluamous send the Sword of Damocles crashing down; effectively stabbing at yuan from all sides; and with him in position to ram face-first into a wall of ice; the attack would not be easily countered.

[ neutral So much for the dragon.]

Yuan shot up the dragon's back at incredible speeds. As Yuan charged into the spartan's defense, his arm seeming to bulge with extra muscle, the warrior was suddenly replaced with a block of ice, seeming to resemble him. He smirked, his right fist seeming to harden unnaturally. He threw a massively powerful punch at the ice, it shattered into a crystal-like dust. Yuan looked up. It appeared that the warrior was now attempting to pierce him with an impressive amount of weaponry. Yuan smiled bigger, and his hands seemed to blur as he made several hand seals. As the massive sword and many spears came falling down on him, they seemed to pass through him, his body flowing around them like a mist. The huge sword and spears pierced the dragon's back, injuring it greatly. Yuan wondered why the spartan had felt that the weapons would stop in him and not harm his pet. From below, the massive red dog let out a howl, kicking up another powerful wind attack that shot up to impact the severely wounded dragon's chest. Yuan leapt from the back of the dying dragon and fell, landing on the ground beside his summon. He turned, his exposed eye seeming to glow as he gazed up into the spartan's eyes, a smile on his face. That's to bad spartan. Seems you don't value the life of your friend very much, do you?

Hedoro could feel the energy gathering in Agito's mouth, and was forced to make a choice. Either take the hit, or prevent it. In the end, she chose to prevent it, and hoped that it would not be a mistake on her part. Using the technique known as Jutsu Shou, she canceled the activation of Agito's Cero, and sealed it away. He wouldn't be able to use it any more during this battle. With that taken care of, she returned to her original plan, surging the rest of the way towards his mouth, still blocking off the dark sake, and still reaching towards the clay dummy and Agito's other hand.

As yuan's unexpected burst of strength shattered through the ice and he managed to get out of the way; the eight weapons collided into one another; deflecting in all directions as Eluamous ducked down to protect his head from the flying weaponry. While ducking, he saw yuan's dog summon launching another barrage of wind towards them from below. Eluamous dropped down to his stomach and moved his seven shields to act as a buffer against the wind as he nodded, keeping his eyes on the shields; a violet light shining down over his shoulder... the man's demon eye... he dared not look within them... deciding it too dangerous as he kept his gaze downwards, he suddenly elbowed backwards towards the man's stomach to keel him over; leaping up and casting the Bringer of Darkness genjutsu to darken his opponent's eyesight with a black void. As he landed safely behind his opponent's back, he thrust forward his left hand in the shape of a gun towards Yuan aiming at his left chest cavity from behind, a blade of wind suddenly rushing out from his hand towards Yuan's Heart.

Azami looked awestruck as she saw the deidara clan member detonate the bombs around him the whole area seemed to be engulfed in fire. Azami thankfully lay just outside the blast radius. She was beginning to see she didn't belong here. These people were in a different league than her. She looked around now, but didn't see Slade anywhere she wondered where he had gone, and finally decided it was only natural for him to want to leave, she laughed slightly remembering that most of these people had originally wanted to fight her and Slade, because they were "cannibals" and looked different.

[[ The blade must have run through you in order to have felt my fingers on your back... Plus ryu said end it and go our separate ways...
Thus... it seems you've inflicted your genjutsu on me at the cost of your life ]]

As his fingers touched cold flesh; the gash from the wind blade pierced through the opponent, the opponent spinning around as a final reflex merely ripped through his flesh with the blade of wind as Eluamous's eyesight grew hazy... sighting the blood flying as he slowly drooped off into unconsciousness; falling off of Fai Ryu's back as the dragon glared angrily; bucking Yuan off with a fierce rage as he spat a hellfire sphere towards Yuan at point-blank range before diving down like a hawk to catch Eluamous in his talons....
Glaring with rage, the black dragon quickly sent out a call to Agito flying around the area in search of the Kage. An explosion, and the dragon knew... Agito had to be there; the black dragon flying towards the massive crater the Kage had created landed and placing Eluamous down near Agito: "Kage, we need to move out of here... Eluamous has been put under something... It seems you've finished your battle as well... We should get the hell out of here... after that explosion, there's bound to be some more interest in what's going on here..." Scooping up Agito and Eluamoud with his front arms, tossing both onto his back; the black dragon kicked off into the air and with beats of its wings that could cross leagues; the dragon took flight into the air.

Hedoro could feel the numerous birds flocking down towards the two of them, preparing to explode, so she did what she had to do to survive, even if it meant partially protecting Agito, as well. Activating Aquatic Defense, and pumping much more chakra into it then was required, a triple layered water bubble formed around her entire body, as well as a portion of the clay dummy and most of Agito's front. It pushed back some of the birds, crowding them towards it's borders. When they exploded, they battered the shield furiously like a typhoon would attack a ship. The first shield layer was broken almost immediately, torn apart by the ferocity of the explosion. As the not immediately close birds detonated, the second wave of explosions battered the second shield to the point of destruction, but not past it. The third shockwave was stronger still, it was the rest of the combined force of the remaining birds and water, and it tore through the second and the third layers, the last vestiges of it's ferocity burning at Hedoro mercilessly. She was still hanging in there, though, it hadn't extinguished her life, yet.

But even before she had time to celebrate her latest brush with death, Agito was following the technique up with yet another explosive technique, one she'd been monitoring very closely, keeping it well in hand. Literally. Agito was strong in his armor, even after that battering, he was still plenty strong enough to break the dummy loose from her grip. Just not in the way he'd intended. He broke her hand clean off, and sent it plummeting down with the clay dummy. As it fell, the circle it indented into the clay glowed brightly, a sign that something mysterious was happening. The light faded just a moment before impact. The impact itself was a dull thud, the sound of a large, solid mass hitting the ground. No explosion, though. Hedoro's alchemy had changed it from explosive clay to ordinary clay, that had been why she needed to touch the dummy for as long as she did, she needed time to indent the circle into it's doughy surface.

At the same time, Agito, already thinking he'd won, went to drink from his dark sake. He really should have payed more attention. Did he think that when she'd appeared on top of the container earlier and began expanding, that part of her wouldn't have went into the container, waiting for him to open it again? When the container was raised to his lips, a torrent of Hedoro's substance surged out of the container, preventing him from drinking the dark sake, whatever it's properties were. She'd very nearly drank some herself while trapped in the container, but had decided not to. As the liquid surged out for his face, it spread in other directions as it grew, plugging up the mouth of the sake, and calling to the bits of her inside of Agito to begin the final process.
