Welcome to Gaia! ::

Already at the back/top of the stands, Corbin smirked at both Bard's move, and Roan's commentary. He however bared his arrogance, and remained where he was without hesitation or thought of the possible ramifications. He simply looked on, his eyes gleeming with the ivory white vibrantly now, as the sphere that accompanied him took in everything it could, spinnin g on it's on axis, gleeming in the same manner Corbin's occuli did.

**Gaara**

Watching Ky move off with a disgusting smug and cheerful visage, he then turned back to Tear and chuckled, unflinching at Tear's threats.

"SIMply come when I CAAll warrior."

He then vanished, returning to his place on the northern stands to watch.

**Kenki**

Smirking, he wiped his fingers through the blood of a small cut on his arm, before smudging it over all of his fingers and thumbs, and making a series of five hand seals.

"Summoning technique!"

He then slammed both palms into the ground, and a large puff of smoke from each hand, two demonic looking foxes appeared, both atleast twice Kenki's size. He then drew three small brown pills from one of his satchel bags as he formed another hand seal, gulping down one of the food pills.

"Beast mimicry ninja technique, half beast clone."

Both of the foxes were then transformed into feral, beast like replications of Kenki, already under the effects of the Ikusen shougeki. the each then took a food pill from Kenki and gulped it down.

With the rediculous amount of protien quickly being absorbed into their bodies now, their stamina and chakra doubled. It was time to show more of a brawler style.

While one of the replications tossed a smoke bomb into the ground, the other hurled one at Bard's feet. Under the cover of the blanketing smoke, the three mixed their positions, before scattering. On went to Bard's left, one to his right, and another stayed infront of him.

"Its over for you then."

All three spoke in unisen(sp?) before running in t'ward Bard at high speed.

Gatsuuga!

The three then three their arms to their sides, and began spinning around themselves at an incredible speed, as they flew at Bard like revolving missles. This was the master combat move of the half beast clone techniques, and could rip a man apart, with the sheer force alone, although then account for the Ikusen shougeki and claws, along with the number of assailants, and you have yourself a recipe for Bard soup.

((Roany))

*As bard invoked this bizarre summon of his, the shadowy Roan took on her full form, red catsuit and all. Curled into a foetal position, the figure touched down lightly on the floor, then slowly straightened up, Take's massive wings shimmering into existance on her back. When she moved, it was like she was leaving an after-image behind her, only this series of images was of take rather than herself.
Beating her massive wings once, the summon moved up into the air, her/its arms spread as if crucified, legs held tighty together as her wings beat the air.
Overhead massive thunderheads gathered and consumed the sky. Finally, Roan's white eyes opened, followed by her mouth. With a scream, she unleashed teh gatehred power overhead, Electricity crackling from her fingers, booted feet, wing tips and hair. The thunderheads over the arena also bust into a series of electric bolts that richoeted around the arena, stands included, before the whole lot converged into one massive beam aimed at Kenki. The whole affair had taken very little time to perform, and the summon had touched ground once again by the time Bard cried out at having his blood shed.
Grinning, Roan then drifted back to Bard, and seemed to seep into him as form became shadowy again. However, she was more partially possessing the Siren, Take's wings filling the ravaged spaces in Bards own pinions, Roan's talons extending over Bards fingers, her tail entwining with his. Bards eyes turned white, the RDS scar on his chest pulsed, and a fair amount of Roan's predatory instinct layered bards own personality*

.: Dont possess you my eye. How dare you use me like this. Now get up and kill these things. Fox blood is supposed to taste nice. :.

*meanwhile in the stands, Roan's more rational side still seemed to be loitering around, muttering away to Corbin and Dag*

.: Well well. Seems I can be in two places at once. Didnt know he was stupid enough to do that. Silly siren. :.

((All scripting was prediscussed smile ))

With a look of urgency in his eyes, Kenki formed a hand seal quickly, so as to focus his chakra directly into his ears. He managed to create a sort of plug, in each ear, blocking out the offensive sounds Bard made. He however continued the 'Gatsuuga', drilling through the air t'ward the ethreal Roan summon.

Watching her build and release her powerful attack, he smirked, this was the sort of thing his insulation suit was made for, primarily however made to counter the Chidori strike that Kakashi created, and Aieta apparently knew.

His eyes however became dull, widening slightly, as he remembered the holes in his suit made from Bard's explosive technique earlier.

"s**t."

The focal beam of electric energy then punched powerfuly into the head of Kenki's spiral attack. As the two forces battled for supremecy, He could feel his skin being scorched where the holes lay in his suit, and it was allowing access for the electric current as well.

The summoning won over the Gatsuuga however. The powerful spin, and pent up pockets of air managed to weaken the blast slightly, however it barely made a difference in conciderable comparison to the total made.

In result, Kenki was hurled across the arena grounds, and smashed into a wall, the thick layer of re-inforced cement like material buckling greatly behind him, as a large mouthful of blood shot from his throat, still crackling with tiny flashes of a vibrant saphire.

Meanwhile, the half beast clones enjoyed the mayhem they caused bard, esspecially the one that managed a direct hit, sclicing through flesh and muscle in his lower side. An injury like that would without a doubt slow down his reaction time, and definatly make evasion of any degree painful, if not movement at any degree.

The half beast clone that brunted the force of Bard's beam attack to the head, was hurled high into the air, and despite Kenki's favour, landed hard, and flat on it's face. That was one clone, that wasn't going to be getting up soon, thus he canceled it out, as he slowly crept to one knee, his back hunched.

As Kenki got to a knee, the remaining half beast clone shot across to the opposite side of the arena, and too a low stance, snarling viciously in Bard's direction.

I cant believe it. He just might beat me. That inhuman b*****d. Heh, I guess I dont have a choice.

"Alright, you've earned this."

Both Kenki's, on opposite sides of the arena then stared directly across at eachother, sharingan activated. The both then produced a steel plated head band from one of the satchel bags on their belts. and placed it over their heads, covering the right eye, which however didn't dispell the effects of the Kyubi.

With the secret village of sound band in place, the two Kenki's began quickly forming hand seals, their hands blurs as they moved with such haste.

"MASTERY TECHNIQUE, THIRD CRASH!"

They then held tha final hand seal, and let out a deep inhuman roar, carried out from the diaphram, rumbling in their throats deeply, as chakra was drawn to the two of them, and they molded an enourmess amount of it themselves, all together, it was more then double the amount of chakra used inorder to use the Chidori technique.

"First gate, OPEN!...Second gate, OPEN!...Third gate, OPEN!"

Opening three of the chakra gates within their bodies, they opened three out of the various limiters, and the amount of chakra they could release, aswell as their physical strength and speed.

The two then made a final hand seal, all of which thus far had been hand seals from other jutsus. Suddenly, both of the Kenki's produced a pair of shadow clones, one on either of their sides, which ran out to meet near the centre, though against the walls, forming a circle of now six Kenki's. The six then reached their right hands out in Bard's direction, and suddenly, all of the sand on the ground was drawn to his position. The sand that was already under, and around him reached to grab his legs, hardening instantly, whilst the rest of the sand in the arena made to cover and harden around his body up to his chin.

The six Kenki's, each staring at another, the last of which staring at the Real Kenki with the Sharingan, mimicing their moves, then drew six kunai throwing knives, three in each hand, everyone of them attatched by strings. With the reach of the Ikusen Shougeki being nearly doubled in all six of the clones, they 'injected' the effect of the technique into the strings, and kunai themselves of the thousand crash technique.

The six clones then threw their kunai in various directions, all of them throwing one hand full at Bard however. Scattering the kunai and strings all through the air, a puff of smoke was then produced from each of the kunai, and for each kunai, another ten were produced, creating sixty kunai and strings, not counting the kunai hidden in the shadows of the thirty that were aimed for Bard. All in all, creating ninety kunai.

Whether or not Bard was hit by the thirty aimed for him, all kunai hit the walls of the arena, and were anchored via the other end of all strings being tied to the belts and armor vest of each Kenki, pulling them tight.

The entire field was now laced with the strings, meaning simply being near the ground meant risking bones being shattered, if not having internal organs turned to a muchy pulp, due to the Ikusen shougeki being attributed to the strings.

The six Kenki's then began strumming at the strings around them harshly, creating small cuts in their fingers sure, but the hard thudding sound created, was sent through each and every string, because of the fact each string was over-laid with atleast one or two more. The six Kenki's then used their ability with sound, and molded the last of their chakra into the bass like sound, and created a massive bubble within the arena area, and directed the sound to precisely enter Bard's ears, and burst his ear drums.

The sound was tremendous though, once harnessed the way it was, and could cause vertigo, complete loss of balance, and even a coma. THAT, was everything Kenki had left in him, he had nothing left to offer now.

"Saidai....Shougeki..." (Greatest/largest/maximum - crash/impact.)

((Kenki studied in both the village of sound and sand, during his training under his ninja master, and was made a member of the ANBU for both, a squad captain in the sound ANBU. He learnt the sand coffin technique from Gaara of the desert, after watching a fight he had, however he didin't learn the sand graveyard. He then learnt the sound technique via simply studying at the sound village, since it is a common ability amongst even gennin.))

.: You're pathetic. Im NOT winning this fight for you. Thats against the rules. Wake up. :.

*The Take wings on Bards back spasmed strangely, tugging on the hooks and kunai embedded in them. Bards head lifted with white eyes as Roan gained more control fo bards body. The wings suddenly straightened as if completely undamaged, surges of electrical power flashing down the wires connected to the Bards body. Hands bluring, Bards body reacted to Roans will, A shadow Ferago appearing long enough to cut teh wires attached to teh projectile sinside Bards flesh.
Sweeping one hand across the ground, followed by her dark wing, Roan smashed the sand holding Bard in place. Stepping out of the area of the attack, she then spread her arms, and allowed her regeneration techniques to flow through Bard just enough to stop him from bleeding to death*

It looks to me like both of you are pretty messed up now. So this should be a fair fight to the end. You dont seem to have enough energy left to do anything too weird Kenki, and bard is in no condition to summon me again. So I propose that the two of you fight like civilised people and try to tear each others throats out by hand. My presence here will merely ensure you dont actually kill each other.

*Leering Roan then phased back through bards body until she assumed a shadowy form behind him (like Ansem's Guardian in KH, but without the aggravating tendancy to get into the way of the battle xd )*

.: Wake up Bard. This is your fight, not mine. He did break your lute after all... dont you think he needs harming for that? :.

*just kinda <.< hangs out and waits*

>.>

<.<

myeap....

( What the ********. First you wanna possess me , then when i let you , you dont ? )

*Bard stood firmly infront of Kenki, after a solid minute of contemplating he bowed to him in honour.*

Congratulations, your through to the next round.

*He tried his best to smile even though his body was in immense pain*

You .....deserve a better opponent,..... i wasnt quite upto par. Im sorry, my hearts not with me this time.

*Bard pointed at Dope whilst still facing Kenki*

Plus if im sure you want to settle things with.... HER.
I bear no grudge, i have no score to settle. Her on the other hand...

*Bard then nodded at Kenki and turned away from the fight and slowly walked towards Corbin and Dag.*

Havnt you noticed ?
She's not here. Its not like her to just not turn up for a fight, especially if it involves you Corbin.
If you two want to stay here and play, I'll go make myself useful and find her.
Oh and keep an eye on him. He's more trouble than he's worth.

*Bard's eyes locked onto his half brother before taking a swan dive off of the edge of the flying stadium.*

Lowering the rim of his ruby goggle like shades at Bard as he approached, he gave a simple nod, before then looking down the stands at Dope.

"Give us a call if you need us."

With that, he gave a wave of his hand, and the writhing orb that hovered at his side began to swirl about it self, as if going down a drain, before vanishing.

Corbin's attention was then drawn back to the ninja as Bard left, and he smirked, behind his tattered old raven scarf, raising his right hand, preparing his fingers, before flicking thin air with his index. The air around both Corbin's hand, and Kenki's head grew slightly visible, like it does on the distant horizon on a hot day. Suddenly, Kenki's left eye went dull and his mouth dropped open, before his limp figure fell to the dusty floor.

He then rolled his wrist, before pointing to the north stands where Gaara was, and he assumed Sarula would be treating the injured. Shadow tendrils coiled up from the ground around Kenki, before transporting him through the shade to the top of the north stand.

.:"You said you were treating the injured, right, Visolire?":.
