H4X He couldn't do anything about the blast, the armor protected him, but the intensity of the heat weakened the armor before the concussive shockwave impacted sending him flying back through several of the dead trees and into the hexagonal bubble where the momentum was halted by something unseen. It took him several long moments to get to his feet. He dropped the hilt of the now shattered knife and tried to take stock of his surroundings. His breathing through the armor sounding not unlike a water pump trying to take in air.
It took him several long moments to return from the bubble, and it was clear he wasn't in good shape, the armor was scorched black, and large cracks were visible. He was keeping the shield close to his torso, attempting to hide what seemed a hole in the outer layers of armor.
"Valiant till the end? It really doesn't suit you." He walked out from behind a tree, running his hand through his hair before reaching into his coat for a lighter. "What happened to the man willing to sacrifice hundreds just as a distraction?... No quips from you at that even?" He just smirked "Well then, I guess it's time to put the old dog down"

The 'hexagonal illusion bubble' started to crack, and the wind began to pick up, as whatever unseen objects that had spawned the bubble began to move skyward once more.
The one known simply as 'M' waited, and the moment his foe's attention was on the objects lifting off he launched a punch with his right fist, a smaller blade shooting forward just above the knuckles of his gauntlet.

He tilted his head to the side, idly dodging the knife before spinning and grabbing the extended arm. "Was that it? your big plan was to try and stab me in the back?"
He punched the armored man straight in the face causing the helm to buckle in and send the man flying back. The demon's hand seemed to come out worse for the exchange, but he just shook it to scatter the blood droplets onto the armored man, as the wound rapidly healed.

The armored man didn't make any attempts to return upright. One side of his face was almost visible through the broken helm. Black hair covering most of the face, though glimpses of a pale eye could be seen.
A silver streak charged into the demon from where the disturbance originated. But by the time he'd turn he'd only see his own reflection as one of the hexagon shaped mirrors was sent flying towards him. It was rapidly followed by several others, though these were thrown like discs, and from several directions, making identifying the attacker(s?) location difficult.

He clicked the lighter several times, causing small explosions just before the projectiles hit him, using minimal explosive force to deflect or break what were clearly the hexagonal-tiiles.that had created the bubble illusion in the first place.
"That IS REALLY Getting on my Nerves!" The demon shouted before taking a deep breath and releasing a cloud of smoke into the air. Seemingly to reduce visibility, though the fact that he stopped using the lighter seemed to imply something significant.

The ash cloud began to swirl before the silver streak suddenly cut through them, grabbing the Demon and trying to exit the cloud faster then he could spark a flame. Only after grabbing the demon the figure slowed down, revealing the tall silver were-cat form of the doppelganger summoned by impure world resurrection. She was covered in ash from the smoke cloud that seemed to cling to her clothing and fur.

"Isn't a ninja supposed to look underneath the underneath?" he asked, seemingly unperturbed by the fact that the girl was attempting to crush his windpipe after dragging him through the dirt at seemingly impossible speeds.
"I was never very good at these ninja technique names, but I believe you'd understand what exactly Katon: Nimotsu no hai (Fire Release: Ashes of Burden) is meant to do after this." The figure was grinning, especially now that the ashes had began to settle, increasing their weight and further binding the doppelgänger. "Now that you're here I think I'll take my ki back." he made a single handsign to dispel the Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei.
He freed himself from the incapacitated body's grip then glanced down at it. A layer of dirt and false skin coming loose, though instead of revealing the victim used as a sacrifice underneath it revealed the same body, implying that he had sacrificed the woman to bring her own self back as a zombie. "Hmm, didn't expect the body's regeneration to work so well, oh well it matters little now" He twirled his staff, preparing to light the body ablaze....
Only to stop and blink as a diamond tipped grappling hook was shot through his chest. "What..."

He pulled with all his might, the steel chain of the grappling hook from his digging tools wrapped around his free arm. As soon as the demon was away from the downed doppelganger he charged forward.
"Still want to fight you old fool. Well let's go" The demon began to turn towards him, trying to resist the pull by grabbing the chain with one arm while his other shot towards the armored man's exposed face....
Only for the armored man to use the arm that had been holding the wounded side to block and reveal that the arm clutching his side had a primed mining explosive in it. The resulting boom had very little fire, but a lot of concussive force. The blast broke the chain and only scorched the visible part of the armored man's face, but the demon while having the worse injuries seemed to be regenerating and was standing back up after being knocked back to the downed doppelganger.
A crackle of an energy blade forming would be heard from behind, two energy blades similar in shape to Lina's Rai manipulation blades formed, before it started to get cold, the energy in the techniques changing color from yellow to blue. "I bet you have no idea how hard it is to jump-start your own heart... Trust me, it isn't easy. But that's beside the point, I seem to remember you stabbing me in the back of the head, and if that witch was desperate enough to send that old man alone to get me then chances are I've got no choice but to end this quick"

It all came down to time he knew. He glanced at the wounded 'admiral' then at the were-cat behind him. "You two are like roaches." He cracked his jaw back into place before continuing "and coming from me that should mean something." he said with a dark laugh. "I doubt either of us have the time to waste..." he finished before vanishing in a swirl of flames.

She looked around, waiting for an attack that never came "That Jackass" she cursed before deciding to check on the armored man.
"Wow, and I thought he did a number on me" she rubbed the back of her head before tilting her head "Guess I lucked out that it wasn't silver". She grabbed his good arm and lowered him to the ground, pulling off the broken helm. "Well you might have a few more scars after this" she muttered, noticing that his pale eyes were moving rapidly, suggesting REM sleep, even though his eyes remained open. She didn't have much to worry about his breathing considering the loud but consistent sound of the seemingly broken air pump feeding what looked like a rebreather still covering the lower part of his face. She tried to pull out her medical kit only to be rewarded with a small shower of sparks shooting out of her hand. "Huh"
She checked his supplies, eventually finding some first aid supplies and she wrapped his face, leaving him almost resembling a hollywood style mummy sans the open eye-holes. She debated bandaging his side, but knew she'd have to remove his armor which seemed to be holding the wound shut if only barely.

The group of 4 reached the outskirts of their destination. Tier showed his palm at the group, signaling to stop. He stopped advancing right after they had stopped. He then signaled with his palm repeatably towards the ground to advance forwards slowly. Tier crouched and slowly moved forwards, scanning the area ahead of them for chakra signatures.

Fujiwara followed suit, stopping a safe distance behind Tier and crouching low as he did. as they advanced, and tier was searching for chakra signatures, his eyes were alert, his ears flicking this way and that, and his nose sniffing quietly. There were scents all over the area, smell wasn't going to help him, he figured, unless the smell of blood in the air was coming from a source that wasn't moving. Still, he had no idea where it could be as of yet, they were too far off.

Ookamimaru crouched when they stopped, and continue to crawl on all fours, which was an easy way for him to stay low on the ground. He got his eyes and ears open, and scanned the area for smells on the same time. He sniffed with short, quick breaths, much like a dog, alternated with longer breaths if he though he'd smelled something. He'd memorized Lina's smell one of the first days he got to the academy, and he was focusing on that specific one.
He steered the surrounding air towards him to get an even better bouquet of the surrounding smells. He didn't dare to change the air flows much though. People who read chakra would probably notice. He didn't go further than his immediate surroundings, not more that a meter distance.

Ren's optical bloodline was also activated and he was scanning behind them and out to the sides. He quickly took note that Fujiwara and Ookamimaru were already searching with their noses/ears.
They can probably notice things that we can't.
Ren copied the others' movements and crouched with them; keeping up with their pace. He was trying to keep his chakra levels down as much as he knew how. Ren didn't notice anything so far.

The doppleganger had smelled of earth when the Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei was maintaining it, but now the smell shifted to that of cat, and strangely ozone which put it closer to Lina. Though the scent of tar was powerful in the air, almost overpowering the individual smells and the greater ones of the acidic blood, ash, and fire.
The demon had left no scent as he had none.

The girl shifted to her human form, and was looking into the gap in the man's armor before putting her hands inside, feeling a strange urge to do something "This is probably insane, but here goes..." she used her energy to liquify the metal, pulling it out where the wounds were shallow. With the more serious shrapnel she found herself adjusting the shape of the metal to keep the wounds sealed but prevent further injury.
"How?..." she pulled her palms loose, looking at them with some shock on her face.
