Luminare's phone let him know real fast that Vidunder's signal was zero. However, he would not be lost for long, as Roland quickly appeared from the odd elevator in the stone wall.
"Hey, Vidunder left. Now's the time we get to some more serious work. We need to get the swords Vidunder's been on about. And when we do, we can start getting some serious work to start. I think I came up with an idea on how we can fix Vidunder." Roland lifted Zig onto his shoulders, the two whip-tails and the gauntlets adorning his body. He then gestured to the elevator. "We may as well get to work for now, though. Right now it's up to us to keep ourselves looking like his boys until we have a chance to make a move."

"Understood, but I don't want Zig here. I have a feeling there are things that a child should never see. Do you realize the danger we're putting him in?"
Luminare brushed his long hair out of his eyes.
"Unless you have better plans for him, I say we get the kid out of here- or atleast hide him?"
The man took off his gloves and threw them down.
"Regardless though, our mission is clear. Lets go."

"If I knew we wouldn't be killed, I would say yes. But I don't know. For right now, Zig is safe. Vidunder is gonna keep him in good condition until february at the very least." Roland sounded deathly serious, because the gravity of the situation was that Vidunder was more than likely to try and kill both of them should they show any disloyalty. Just before pressing the button to head to the basement floors, Roland made a comment that would stick in his own mind like a knife. "Even children are at risk with Vidunder around. If he's at risk for the lives of everyone else, then it's worth it for all those lives..."

"This looks like a good spot..."
Kichiro had just got done sleeping for most the day, meditating, and generally resting. He was now standing before the Durem Cave's opening with hands inside his pant pockets.
The boots rested against the hard ground, with the edge of his overcoat blowing back in the wind. As one looked up to the rest of Kichiro's stoic form, they'd see the outline of a sheath on his left side, and an upside down katana sheathed from his left shoulder down to his right hip where the hilt portruded.
Against the cave opening, Kichiro was nothing more than a black silloughette.
However, crystal green eyes could be seen looking back out over the facility which he had so steathily by-passed. They were barely visable beneath the brim of his straw hat.

Kichiro Oda "This looks like a good spot..."
Kichiro had just got done sleeping for most the day, meditating, and generally resting. He was now standing before the Durem Cave's opening with hands inside his pant pockets.

Against the cave opening, Kichiro was nothing more than a black silloughette.
However, crystal green eyes could be seen looking back out over the facility which he had so steathily by-passed. They were barely visable beneath the brim of his straw hat.
Peppa appears in the distance , walking with a napsack over his shoulder. Whistling to himself as he made it to the cave. He wasn't exactly happy nor sad or mad. He didn't feel much right now. It sucked. He continued tho', fighting changed everything. Fighting allowed him to feel something, to take his mind of things.
Holding his same type of clothes as yesterday, except there was a big dark hat on his head, the man was making his way to the caves. Singing jingle bells, frosty the snowman. There was one other thign that kept his mind off thigns, christmas.
Reaching the Shinobi, Peppa would toss his sack ont he ground. Leaning over, he'd open it to pull out two alcoholic beverages. Vodka and sake. Tossing the sake to the friend, he'd stand up while taking a sip.
Since you never bought me a drink..
Winking, Peppa would take a nice sip before putting it back int he sack. Tossing the sack over to the side safely, he'd walk towards the hole. The cave wasn't so bright. Kichiro and Peppa didn't need light, and they'd een have light when he turns on his lightsabre.
'Cept Peppa would be fighting with his eyes closed.
Seems I'm goona lose my love after all. No death but you know, she's not goona be there. I have the kids at least.
Smiling he looked up. At nothing. He was used to looking at th esky. He did find small stellagtites. He had suddenly realised that he had been walking in pretty deep. He wanted to be deep. He wanted to be in the whole sorroundings.
This reminded him of fighting in the sewers.
Tell me when

"We've not really had a night out on the town, we've been fighting for the last few days in all of our encounters."
Kichiro reminded him, taking the sake and a sip before setting the bottle down. He wasn't going to be nasty and use that for an advantage in their next fight. Kichiro only had the power over flame really, and another one that he was saving.
"Oh really. Well, no turning sith on me."
Was all the words Kichiro would use when talking about him losing a love. Kichiro had committed suicide over one at about the time of the last HoH tournament. His retreat into the world of Leviathon insured some stability that he didn't have last year.
And a lot more humour.
Kichiro slowly made his way in to follow. Darkness was comforting for the shinobi, it was where he thrived. They'd be going into the cave for quite some time. Peppa apparently wanted to take them deep.
Two small sparks would occur behind Peppa as Kichiro withdrew his blades in the crossed over chest fashio, bringing them out in an 'X'.
They were angled a bit differently though, Kichiro was pointing the tip of his right wakazashi out towards Peppa's shoulder. The katana was still against Kichiro's waist as his left foot slid back, but now it was angled at Peppa's mirroring thigh.
This was a more deadly stance, less defensive, a hidden sign that Kichiro was going to be a little more tough on his friend than the last few fights. Which begged the question.
Was he going easy on him before?
Cue the yellow aura, lights camera and ACTION!
"Let's do this."

"Let's do this."
Closing Peppa's eyes, he would see the world in a new way. THe spiritual energys flowing through every object around him. Creating a image which was far more real then his eyes could ever give him. It was as if Peppa could see Kichiro, past him, in him, and feel him.
The force was spectacular.
Peppa too had changed up some things, holding his lightsabre forward just under his chin, he held it at a off point. He wasn't goign to turn it on just yet. He was sure his opponent could see him perfectly anyways, didn't need to turn it on yet.
Putting his left arm forward in the same sideways stance as always. His left elbow would bend at a 90 degree angle, across. Fingers wide and knuckled with a palm strike fashion. Peppa was a bit more ready then he has ever been.
These past days with Kichiro has allowed Peppa to adjust his stance and moves alot more then anyone else has. Kichiro didn't allow room for errors.
Ofcourse.
Peppa would say while turning on his yellow lightsabre. Something was oddly funny about this. THe entire cave was glowing a giant yellow hole. With th eZueg landing on gaia and all, it seemed that they were bound to have a redneck investigate the glowing caves.
Peppa would raise his right hand before going for a overhead chop. THe lightsabre scratching the roof of the cave, causing a a few small rocks to decen on Kichiro. If they had gone back a little father they would be in a larger basin for the two to fight. Where appearantly there were some water pools.
The lightsabre would come down straight for Kichiros skull, Peppa would hold his left hand at a centered position, preparing for a low strike but more equipped for a high strike from Kichiro.

"And if that actually hit, you'd have killed me and lost us the tournament."
Kichiro replied as he moved about, fire dancing up from his solar plexus chakra point to his blades. This was a customary manuever for Kichiro, and by now, he could make it happen nearly instantanseously. One moment they were cool glinting blades, the next they were firy blades which spoke of pain and fire.
"I'd never go for an overhead swing though."
Kichiro remarked as his already raised wakazashi came in a cut from the left, narrowly striking the saber as a few rocks plopped on his hat and fell off him. The cut was aimed towards Peppa's neck, but would be stopped when it clashed against the saber.
However, the shinobi was a master of dual purposes along with dual blades.
For as the blades clashed, Kichiro's right hand rolled over the hilt, allowing the saber to come down closer. However it was turned into a reverse hold that kept the blade pressed up against the saber as Kichiro ducked and sent the hilt straight towards Peppa's chin.
Block and strike.
Peppa's left hand might still be able to block the hilt shot, but Kichiro's left hand was also moving. No sense in keeping that beautiful flaming sword still, with the liquid silver threatening to burn through Peppa's normally protective metal in the first place.
The katana came in a cut at Peppa's left knee, on the inside of course since it had to come across Kichiro to get there.
The result would be two parrallel blades between them, keeping Peppa at a distance with his right hand held high with the saber and the left...

A silent nod of the head gave notion that he understood what Roland was saying, and that he too realized this was a double edged sword. Luminare awaited Roland to continue, where he would follow him closely.

Roland pressed the button, and the small elevator plummetted to the basement floors. Flashes of light rose over the cell. The three fell floor after floor below the world.
When reaching the bottom floor, Luminare would be assulted to see the hyper-technological building, many ancient weapons and several just very old things.
Along the walls were cell after cell of what appeared to be clone tanks. the monsters inside were inexplicable and nothing short of monsterous, their bodies disfigured with the fetal state they remained. However, at the farthest end of the wall, there stood a single, disgusting but fully formed monster. Two massive arms, four foot long a piece, the body being six at best. The legs were too far down into the cell to see, but that was likely for the best.
Roland finally stopped at a set of prison blocks, opening block IV, setting Zig inside to sleep. The other three were obviously taken.

As Luminare reached the bottom floor his jaw dropped. Besides the high tech equiptment and ancient artifacts giving the room an odd culture, the sight of miserable, poor imprisoned beings was heart shattering. Only driving Luminare into an epiphany like trance for a few seconds it pushed him to want to defeat Vidunder more. He fell to one knee after taking one step into the room and he dipped his head down.
"This... is... Horrendous."
He didn't pick his head back up, but a sick feeling formed in the pit of his stomach from the thick scent of blood and mutilation.

The result would be two parrallel blades between them, keeping Peppa at a distance with his right hand held high with the saber and the left...
Ducking down, Peppa woudl extend his left gauntlet down. Straight down to the path of the katana. The katana would slide off the gauntlet, creating a nice scorch mark across the forearm of the gauntlet. A dark scratch that hopefully wouldn't be struck again.
At the same time, being below the blow, Peppa would turn off the lightsabre. Bringing his fist down so that way the hilt of his weapon would slam into his opponents gut. Hopefully enough to push the man back. A nice precise wound.
The opponents fist would shoot over his head as he hit air. While Peppa would be knocking his opponent away, then in a quick motion, he woulld stand back up assuming the same stance as before.
His attack worked in a sense.
If you got hit from that, you deserved it.
Peppa would joke before charging his left glove with electrical energy. THe electrons would shoot to his hand. Peppa was too getting more in the game. Next time Kichiro made that move he'd be in more pain.
Peppa would now take a few steps back, towards the basin. Still holding the stance.
You'r turn.
Sparks flaring, Peppa held his lightsabre in stance. It was off, then he turned it on. The yellow beam creating the usual "svvvvt" noise. It was good to hear it, Peppa found it very soothing. Mind, body, and soul attuned to the force, he would wait.
Kichiro wasn't goona charge at him he figured.

Peppa Clause
Ducking down, Peppa woudl extend his left gauntlet down. Straight down to the path of the katana. The katana would slide off the gauntlet, creating a nice scorch mark across the forearm of the gauntlet. A dark scratch that hopefully wouldn't be struck again.
At the same time, being below the blow, Peppa would turn off the lightsabre. Bringing his fist down so that way the hilt of his weapon would slam into his opponents gut. Hopefully enough to push the man back. A nice precise wound.
The opponents fist would shoot over his head as he hit air. While Peppa would be knocking his opponent away...
"Umph."
Peppa had ducked down and gone forward with that motion, meaning he'd now have Kichiro's wakazashi hilt coming down to bonk him on the back of the head. With Peppa no longer having the saber pressing down against it, the wakazashi would have a lot of built in energy that would come flying down in that hilt to the back of his head. There'd also be no escaping it with how he moved.
But Kichiro never does only one thing.
"What were you going to say?"
Kichiro's left foot slid forward, giving his katana more reach as it deflected off Peppa's gauntlit. It came back out in a circular cutting motion to the back of Peppa's right knee.
All the while, the flames coming from Kichiro's chest would flare up at Peppa's face that was now nearing him so much. For Peppa was going forward already, and with his balance being off, the knock to the back of his head would force him towards those flames.
If that katana cut hit the inside of Peppa's right leg, and most likely it would with such close range, it'd take out any last support he had and give him a face full of flame that was constantly being fed.

Kichiro Oda Kichiro was stronger than that though, and had shaolin darts going down his chest and stomach in a dragonscaled pattern. All Peppa would hear from Kichiro in response to the gut shot, was a resounding....
"Umph."

With Peppa no longer having the saber pressing down against it, the wakazashi would have a lot of built in energy that would come flying down in that hilt to the back of his head.

All the while, the flames coming from Kichiro's chest would flare up at Peppa's face that was now nearing him so much. For Peppa was going forward already, and with his balance being off, the knock to the back of his head would force him towards those flames.
If that katana cut hit the inside of Peppa's right leg, and most likely it would with such close range, it'd take out any last support he had and give him a face full of flame that was constantly being fed.
His opponent didn't move, he was going to have to push his opponent away or he'd be ******** the time his opponent would adjust the situation with his fist, Peppa's hand would move slightly to the side. Tilting the emitter to the chest. It was flaming, but it wasn't immune to the beam. With a flick of the switch, the beam would ignite at point blank range, goign for his opponents abodamen.
Peppa was using the spiritual energy he would've used to charge his hand with electricity, to protect his face. He couldn't do it long but he was dissapating it enough to make the air toasty. He knew at this range his friend would overpower him in a matter of seconds. To prepare for the push, Peppa would restep hsi right foot, attempting to gain better leverage, stepping it farther back unknowingly into the opponents path.
Crack
Peppa's vision blurred. He had a nice idea of where everything was, the force didn't blur too well. He could see msot of it. He just felt a throbbing pain. He couldn't stall to gasp, he was a fighter-he could take a few smacks to the skull. Even with a blunt object.
Peppa would move his left hand forward with the katana. He would not aim for the blade but more precisely th eforearm. As the forearm extended past Peppa, Peppa grasped the arm. The metal fingers of the gauntlet would again dig in to his friends skin. Well not again, but attempt again. The fingers would scratch in a way to attempt to cut his opponents veins. Cheap shots.
With a push from his entire body, Peppa would shoto his skull forward up towards his opponents chin. That would be pay back for the cheap shot his opponent had just gave. If Peppa's entire body moving into a point blank shot wasn't enough, he wouldn't know what to do. His opponent was moving his katana in a way if he moved his neck back, he'd be obstructing his attack.
So he'd probably would be forced to take the blow.
Splt
Peppa's leg was now cut. He knew what was next. Fire. Peppa would stumble forward onto his right knee. Drawing the spiritual energy within, he would use a technique to lose feeling of all pain. He had been scratched bad on the leg but he hadn't tore away too much. He could use it, it would hurt but he could move. Witht he move, he wouldn't feel the pain and be able to go past the bodys limits when he reached them.
Letting go of his opponents arm when headbutting, he'd stand up. A combination of sweat and blood running down Peppa's face. Dripping off his chin to create what appeared at first glance, the illusion of crying blood. It was from his skull. Despite all this, he would enter his stance again-taking the time to recharge his energies.
I should be saying that we're both rusty and shouldn't be getting hit so much. << Unsure if you'r damn fire has spread to my whole body from the leg.. >>

Roland looked over the three rooms. The one Zig inhabited was much less horrible, but the three he was looking into were just as horrible as Luminare saw them. And he was right. They were horrendous. With some hesitation, Roland got to his knee and placed his hand on Luminare's shoulder. "I know it's hard... But for right now, we have to become the enemy."
"Changed sides again, then, Roland?" muttered the man in cell I.
"It would seem that way, Griff. It would seem that way." Roland responded, his eyes low in shame.
