Welcome to Gaia! ::

What the circle that was created, and it's effect that was not fully known at first, now came into use. What the circle had actually done, was cause the ground that Thantos stood upon, to harden into that of rock. And thus allow for a technique that he would use for a possible escape come into place. Since the world had come into darkness, he was not so sure about the actuality of being able to trust those senses that were given to him. He knew of the giant beast like creature that one of Koujin's swords had created, and of the petal like blades that his opponent bore. Now with the effects of this darkness that enshrouded him. He could only assume that it was either the work of some unknown technique, or the armor. Neither of which he really had the abilities too counter in any given situation. With a slight frown, he forms the hand signs needed in a rapid fashion, in order to soon vanish into the ground. Though as he sank, the blades slashes into him, though his speed at moving at the same instant as they had crashed downwards onto him, allowing him to avoid more serious injury he did not manage to avoid all injury, so he would emerge after the blades had fallen with a few not too series, but bad enough cuts and scrapes. This was the use of the technique known as Earth Release: Hidden Among Rocks Technique Once away from where he stood, and upon the ground, he shut his eyes entirely. For they could not be trusted. His Kujaku Myouhou returning, and then soon using the Scatter technique once again, to move into the area at all angles, in their attempt to seek out his opponent and cut into him in much the same fashion as that of the blades that Koujin controlled with ease. This battle, though a hassle was actually a decent deal more fun then it seemed. Giving him a challenge, he had not even entered the mode of his usual style of playing it as a game. He was after all, fighting for the Armor known as The Darkness. Not some token, or a little petty cash.

[Don't worry about it. xD And, that should all work, I think. xd ]

Thantos grins, a little. He hadn't expected the swords to have such an ability as what had just happened to him. it was rather annoying in fact, for he could hardly move. Well, it didn't matter much, for he was stuck in a prisim for the time being. Of course, this kind was meant to make sure that none of his chakra, or attacks could escape the hold. But then again, as 'The Black' took over his body, it did not matter if that were to happen or not. A spirit prisim was made of chakra, and as such, he could continue with his attacks through some kind of means. With the black in full control in a matter of seconds, he found the need to reply to his opponent before he were to continue. "Am I trying to prove something to you, or am I actually supposed to defeat you? I mean if I am supposed to defeat you, I am sure it could be a little challenging from within this prisim you set on me." He says, as he chuckles and then strains himself to crack his neck. It was true, though he was not hit by many, and they were nothing more then scratches. He had been granted the added weight and it was annoying for him. So instead of doing anything about it, he planed to figure a way out of such an entrapment. It was only chakra after all. Shifting in stance, he placed his hands on the barrier's walls and then used the Kujaku Myouhou's Absorbtion ability, directed towards the prisim itself. In such an attempt as to not break free, but center the feathers onto a single prisim wall and then use that to eat away at the walls and break free. At the same time, what seemed to be hands began to grow inside the prisim, and then inverted, in order to stretch the prisim with their surfaces. Made of the same substance as the prisim themselves, they would stretch and attempt to ensnare Koujin, as they grew from the prisim. It was a long shot towards his breaking free, but he figured indestructable hands and being sealed in a prisim that no one could strike him in, could work to his advantage. Since these hands were not created by chakra, but instead caused by 'The Black"s almost psychic abilites, the technique should work quite well.

Though it was his mass that had been caused to become heavier. Thantos used the Water Body Skill to spread his body out enough to make him almost transparent, and thus lighten his mass enough to make moving easier to do. As soon as the Crescent of Moon light got close, a hand made of the stones beneath Thantos rose up from the ground, as it moved into the way of the crescent. Once that attack was stopped, he took off into a rather swift movement, with the assistance of the Multiple Step technique. Soon emerging from behind the hand that he had used to block the attack, and then he was clearing the gap between himself and his opponent. It wasn't time for talking now, he was pressing on action. Twin ethereal blades formed into his hands, as he ran, soon coming up before Koujin and slashing with both. Since the use of the blades had been activated long before, he had the free range to trade them off, and release them at his will. Meaning these chakra stealing blades would be his main style of offense for the moment, as Thantos slashed in an 'X' pattern in order to attempt to strike the opponent down with those two alone. SInce these were ethereal blades, they were impossible to cause true physical harm, nor be blocked meaning that the only form of defense would have to be dodging out of the way. And with any likeness, a dodge could be counted as if someone were moving into defensive. Would this be all that it took? Thantos grinned almost madly, he needed to win, and with the coming of darkness, that was not looking too promising.

As Koujin began the swift attack that he was planning to create, Thantos raised an eyebrow slightly, with the assistance of the technique known as Contact the Spirits in order to see the majority of the attack coming. And due to this, he cast his form into that of a pure vapor. Being that of a gaseous state, and not a liquid. There was no added penalty towards him being hit by such an attack. He couldn't dodge it, but he needed a way to get around it, and this was the best way. Once the first attack was done. The second one came, that being of an explosion that not even Thantos completely expected. With his form becoming more solid, though having moved far enough away to avoid the damage of the attack, a swift grin came across his face. As soon as he was struck and launched backwards into the multiple shards of of his opponent's sword. He uses the technique known as Fusion. Allowing his body to instead of be effected by the effects of the blades. Thantos actually took it's properties upon himself. Granting him a steel like hard, and even possibly the ability to raise the weight of his opponent upon contact. With a continued grin, as he became the more gaseous state once again, in order to move freely without being completely hindered by the added weights. Thantos caused himself to form close enough, and solid enough to slash with a single blade to which he held in his right hand. Aiming to not only drain his opponent of chakra, but also grant the interesting effects of his opponent's own blades with Thantos' own touch. He was not going to go out just yet. There were plenty of other things that he could act upon, before the darkness completely came and his battle would be lost. Even as he struck with the first blade, a large scythe formed into his other hand, before he pulled back to force his opponent little places to flee from his next and sudden strikes.

Even as he began to be drawn into the blade, he used the slight momentum to speed himself up, and then released the fusion. Allowing for the technique to seal up once again. Dropping to one foot, he then takes off with the technique known as Multiple Step. Moving forward swiftly with enough that might just match his opponent's speed. Unless Koujin could move faster then that of what he was moving now. As soon as he got close enough, he thrust a hand forward, as if he was preparing for a swift attack with his palm. Perhaps using a technique that needed a direct physical contact in order to be activated. In truth, it did not matter if Thantos actually hit him, all he needed was to use the technique known as Trick Summon. Once nearing Koujin in a swift speed, he would then use this technique, in order to cause at least one Exploding tag to be hidden within Koujin's clothing as he comes within arms reach. This should be a sure proof plan in order to get things done. Using the Trick Summon technique to do what he planned. It may just work. Of course he was in a normal solid state now. So things may just be looking up for him.

Charging forward to lay his trap seemed to have been a bigger gamble then he thought at first as he was slowed down by Wabisuke, the sonic attack and then he hit the strange barrier of air around Koujin, it really was harder to move within his Hero's Aura, he was using his power to press him down and back, Koujin had been preparing handseals as Thanatos had been rushing towards him and now it seemed he was surrounded, an army? a voice chorused by a large amount of Koujins all circling around Thanatos, even if he could get within arms reach it probably wouldn't be the real Koujin anymore. "White Sword - Imperial Funeral" combining aspect of his clan's dance of the Full Moon along with the powers of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi in it's final form would prove interesting at least. As several of the outer circles took flight soaring up into the sky well above Thanatos, the inner circle continued to circle around him at a distance, the white swords making a hypnotizing distortion of this strange man. "The Game is just about over my friend, you played your moves well," the soaring Koujin's were gathering as if for one last bomber style raid.

Shisui smiled sadly knowing now that the boy really couldn't see her with those eyes of his. "I'm sorry, but Madara-sama was only a metaphor for the light and darkness that plagues us in a very real fashion. Come with me, we won't' talk anymore out here." She took the man by the hand leading him into the inn where Rin was already waiting with Tea lay out for three. She sat down next to her daughter who imediately began slurping noisly at the tea. "My apologies she can be a handful sometimes, acts just like I did when I was her age. All I can tell you about my families doujutsu is that we were simply not meant to stand upon the land of gods and we are all punished for our tresspasses. Using the Mangekyou will lead to blindness if one uses the powers of the gods, nothing happens if you neglect those particular arts, I've been one of the three holders of the Mangekyou eye for a few years now. If not for some of my past actions," she smiled rubbing her daughters head fondly. "I'd be the leader of my family. But you've come from such a long way, I can't let you leave without anything. I can offer you a path..." she sighed thinking of what it would entail. "I don't know if it would fix, improve or heal your eyes, but in the best case senario it would restore your vision, wether it would be an permanent effect or if you'd have to come back for more treatments I can't say. I've never done something caused by their own bodies, but we can attempt to heal your eyes." she leaned across the table so that only he would be able to hear "I won't lie to you, it will hurt more then anything that you've ever expeirienced." she sat watching the wild haired boy, watching him for a reaction looking not just at him, but more of what type of person he was weather he could be trusted.
