Satisfied that Lina won't be in the path, Iri sets up to let them out. She takes a low stance, digging her sandals into the earth and tensing her legs. Her eyes close for a moment. When she opens them, they're glowing. Fangs form in her mouth and the Fury's claws extend from her fingers. A much less noticable change is the slight growth of her muscles. Naturally, Iri's ancestor has more physical power than herself. The extra strength the Fury lends isn't much, but it'll be good enough if she frees them to find herself in the middle of another fight.
Growling from somewhere deep in her chest, Iri concentrates on the belt sander technique she has going on. It's strong enough to deflect the boulders coming from the ceiling as it is, but she's going to beef it up. The sound of the wind in the cave becomes deafening as the belt picks up speed and power. Now the boulders are like flies against a swatter. Iri splits it up into two layers. The inner layer will continue to deflect boulders until the group is free. The outer layer does the same thing for a few moments, as Iri makes sure it's to her liking, before it becomes something more like the twister bonds she had used on Ookamimaru.
Iri is about to let loose the powerful attack when she notices the boulders have stopped falling. That in mind, she allows the defensive maneuver to drop, though the twister is still cycling, prepared to make a move. Violet eyes stare up at the full moon.
"Uh oh. And I bet the damn wolf draws power from the moon. That devious b*****d."

She watched the fury's transformation. Understanding why Iri was definitely one of the more positive reactions to her use of this particular kind transformation. It still didn't stop the 'o' shape her mouth took for a few moments.
Her eyes followed the fury's own. She gazed at the full moon, almost with longing in her eyes before returning her focus to the matter at hand.
'The sphere's opaque for a reason, it'll slow that beast down at the very least, it's not my first time dealing with a were'

Oh darn thing!
he growled at the opaque cage he was kept in.
He scratched against it.
He felt very helpless hanging in the air like that, well, that's what it felt like, that he was floating in the air.
Because the sound of stones falling onto the sphere had stopped, he presumed the cave had stopped collapsing.
The moon must bee viewable now, he feels it, though he can't extract any power from it if it doesn't shine directly on him.
He must do something before those people let him out of here.
It was not an assurance, but he hopes that the sphere is just as opaque on the outside as it is on the inside, so that dragon-fox-girl and winged-woman couldn't see him either.
He opened his mouth and breathed black smoke again.
Even if Lina or Iri could see him through the sphere, that now would be impossible, since the inside now turned black as the night.
Inside the sphere, Tobu sat down, waiting.

She started thinking for a few blinks of her eyes before she decided.
The chain Iri had loaned her slowly snaked it's way around her arm and under her palm before it started dropping into the sphere. Her eyes showed some surprise at the smoke trying to escape while the chain went in. She was wasting away little by little of her remaining Rai reserves by doing this, but with the creature not struggling she was still managing to minimize what was being pulled from her own reserves.
The chain searched through the cage for the creature. Once it found him it would rapidly coil around him to contain him enough so Iri could get her interrogation.

Tobu shrinked away from the chains as far as he could when he saw it entering the sphere.
To see what would happen, he let part of the smoke condensate into a front paw, and he let it tap the chains lightly.
From the outside, nothing could be seen due to the thick smoke.

The chain found the paw and coiled around it, it released when it found it was just a paw.
Lina took this information and suddenly slammed the sphere into the ground with the strength she had gathered through the transformation, shouting the classic "Kiya!" as she did so. The chain launched itself at the new bottom of the sphere, adjusting it's target for wherever inside strain would be felt at impact.

Tobu found himself floating for a moment, then the top of the sphere bumped agains him and he felt that he was falling.
When the phere was slammed into the ground, he smacked onto the ground, lying groggy onto the new formed ground.
He wouldn't be able to avoid the chains.

The chains wrapped around the beast's legs and wings. A section still stayed attached to Lina's arm. After a moment the barrier opened like a flower, except most of the 'petals' were staying around to block direct moonlight. Lina stood behind the opening, keeping the chain around her arm. If he actually managed to overpower her while bound she would just re-seal the sphere.
She sent a telepathic message to Iri.
'I would suggest we make this quick. Considering your new student probably shouldn't be separated for much longer being the least of the problems with this '

As he came back to senses, Tobu growled.
He tried to get back on his feet, but he saw the where bound with chains.
Also, the barrier had opened. he saw moonlight shining on the ground nearby, but he lay in a shadowed spot.
They must really take me for an idiot, this is just too obvious.
The smoke that had been into the sphere escaped together with additional smoke Tobu was breathing out that very moment, and spreaded in the air around the sphere.
The smoke didn't reflect any of the moonlight, it absorbed it.
That's the reason the smoke was black, light wasn't reflected into one's eye.
with the already setting moon shining upon it, it would look like one was staring at a black hole.
The smoke went further in the air, and worked as some kind of fotosythesis, the moonlight was converted directly into energy, which went to Tobu.
A heardbeat, and everything suddenly went different.
Time was going slower for a second, at least, Tobu had that feeling.
Pupils widened, breathing went faster, details where very clear to him that moment.
The grains of sand under his paws, blown away by his irregular breathing.
A rusty spot on one of the links of the chains.
dragon-fox-girl moving a finger.
The smell of upcoming dew already hangin the air.
The sound or a bat catching a mosquito, somewhere into the bushes.
A chakra viewer would see his chakra increase with dazzling speed.
Another heartbeat, and everything had his normal speed again.
He started to grow even more in height and lenght.
His muscles growing thicker, especially around the forearms and shoulders.
The chains where tightening due to the past growing, and in an attempt to loose them, Tobu puched off the ground to make a huge jump. if the barrier was still there, there would be needed very much energy to maintain it's form and break Tobu's jump.

Lina sighed, she expected this, but it didn't matter. He was still flesh and bone, and more importantly, his growing wouldn't help much as the chains would tear into the flesh instead of giving. They were Titanium, highly corrosive resistant, extremely strong, and currently being Re-enforced by Lina using the most basic level of metal molding due to the low conductivity of the material. She gave a sharp tug as he leaped.
It more then likely wouldn't help matters that Lina's response to his growing stronger was just to let herself grow as well, she knew just how fast things would get weird doing this, but at this point she would play along with the contest of who could grow mre. The moon gave the beast his power sure, but moonlight was spread evenly. She could gather energy from it in part due to her fox nature, but she was amplifying it by converting the Getsuei back to Ki through the process Ishira had inadvertently shown her.
She spoke out loud, tired of the telepathic nonsense given that there was nothing worth hiding in her current words.
"Iri, please ask him whatever you need to before this becomes a pissing contest on who can get bigger then who. While I don't exactly care how I look most of the time I still have some ways I'd prefer not to look, and this already is fast approaching that..."

As Lina tugged onto the chains, Tobu got pulled back violently and got slammed on the ground.
The chains had made deep cuts into his legs.
First, he seemed like choking, then he breathed out a cloud of smoke again, and it sublimised into Tobu almost immediately, as if he crawled out of his skin.
The creature into the chains, changed back into Ookamimaru, another one.
Again lying unconsious.
This time, he lay on his back, and his hair wasn't on his horehead.
The same symbol as on the minions shined on his forehead.
I guess they now understand what my technique did last time, but that doesn't matter now.
He licked the fleshwounds on his legs, they where bleeding, and a tendon of his right paw was torn.
He had taken over the wounds when using that technique.
As he was still busy licking, he saw her growing too.
She got power from the moon too eh?
Well, I got a way to stop that.
He lifted his head as high as he could standing on his four feet, and opened his mouth.
It almost seemes as if he was going to howl, but instead he blew out masses of smoke, thanks to the moon, that was now possible.
The smoke circled upwards, and spreaded wider.
Making a parabolic movement, it came down again, and formed a huge bell around the area, having at least the diameter of 50 yards.
It didn't solidify, but it concentrated into a layer and all moonlight was absorbed by it.
Under the semi-barrier, where Lina, Iri and Tobu where, no moonlight was to be seen.
Only light from other sources than the moon wouldn't be absorbed, thus it was a complete darkness.
The absorbed light got converted and redirected to Tobu.

Suddenly, Iri is beginning to feel very small...
Speech hasn't been working very well, but she has an alternative plan. She looks at Ookamimaru's air ball, the second Ookamimaru, and Tobu. She targets all three, because she's hoping one of them can understand English and relay the message, if the wolf can't understand her. Then she tries the telepathy thing.
"You can keep this up all night, but you're not going to win. And if my guess is right, you won't be in control after the night is over. Which should be soon. You can continue to be our enemy, and I can find a way to seal away both you and Ookamimaru, or we can strike a deal tonight. It's your call."

She remained silent, feeling somewhat silly now with how she wasted the effort to let herself go like that. She didn't shrink with the moonlight removed, but her growth had stopped, weather it was due to the fact that her target was in a non physical form, or the lack of moonlight to power her would be left to guess.
She kept a stance and glanced at Iri after her words. She felt somewhat better that Iri had decided to make that threat, given the idea she would actually be following a leader this time.

Project Daedalus There was an ominous, unseen presence that could just barely be felt behind Bao. Iruel was sending information, so it's energy signature rose just a teensy bit. Bao didn't directly salute to the unseen presence, but instead saluted to the boulders in front of himself.
"I have to go do something. Oh but, you'll still be here afterwords though, right? ...Right."
Bao bounded up the fallen boulders and peeked over the cave's fallen ceiling. He couldn't see the group below from here considering the black orb of smoke that was surrounding them 50 yards out. Bao didn't move any closer and stayed behind the rocks.

Two voices would resonate in Iri's head, coming from both the Ookamimarus and Tobu.
One would sound like the voice of Ookamimaru, this time without the raw tones in it, which where caused by his deformed throat. He spoke with a weak, plaintive tone, the other would sound like a savage, who had to keep his anger under control.
"Why did you follow me? Why on earth would you-
This conversation is over, you shall pay for hunting on me as if I was a scared rabbit. I don't have to justify myself against you, you searched me, followed me and ignored my several warnings.
I have kept him back as long as I could, I swear! I - even broke my oath against Tobu, an oath we both agreed about.
And it's thrue, after this night I lose my powers again, but believe me, if - I - didn't try to hold me back this long, you would have died several times already."
The demon stood there, staring at Iri with his luminous yellow eyes.
He had stopped licking his wounds and came to sit down, his tail swayed in a quiet pace, his where ears standing upright.
Apparently, he was waiting for an answer.
