Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hidden Substance
Orochimaru may have been able to dodge the pseudopods, but for how much longer? Even when he used a technique to send out a line of fire at once-Hedoro's mass, it would falter and die out, as the last of his chakra would likely be burned up by now. Using a draining technique like the Sharingan along with other combat techniques was not a good idea when he had only dregs to use.

Frost's circling winds would cut into once-Hedoro's base, sawing into the boiling substance, only to have the cuts fill in with more mutating substance faster than it could be cut. The wings themselves were not stopped from cutting, it just seemed they were trying to cut what couldn't truly be cut.

When Kain rushed forward atop his Shadow Beast, the pseudopods didn't stop what they were doing, as unpredictable as ever, rising up underneath him just as often as not. He tried using his ranged sword attack, and again the energy rushed forward, to cut into the pseudopods, it's force diminishing as this happened.
(Gold- First, I'll concede the point about absorbing anyone else's evil in the room, that wasn't what I had claimed. As for the rest, I think I know a little more about Hedoro than you, including how she actually is Neutral at this point, and how that is an integral part of the SL, as well as a BIG HONKIN' CLUE. As for her being different from her profile, did you see 'Army of 500,000 slime girls' on her profile? She's the SL boss, she's not the same as her profile, not right now. And as for the pseudopods blocking your attack again, I'm just going by the description you had posted before, I doubt it has changed since then. Line of sight wouldn't bar things from moving in and out of a direct path, you realize.)

When Jono, and then Ryu, rushed at Hedoro, working together to get closer, with Ryu trying to take care of the pseudopods and Jono holding the Wind Spiraling shuriken. And it did work, they were able to stop the majority of the pseudopods from blocking their path. As they had almost gotten there, Hedoro shrieked again, this time it was even louder and more ear-splitting than before. At the same time, several of the varied limbs and organs growing from her burst into a spray of disgustingly slimy mass, contacting with the Wind Shuriken as well, triggering it prematurely.

The shriek had other effects. The floor, walls and ceiling grew a little less solid, just slightly. Nobody would need to use the Water Walking technique to stay standing, but there would be a noticeable give in the floor, making footing a little more unsure.

The candy goo girl had been watching the battle with horror-struck eyes, unable to look away, even as her creator did little and the room defended her, as the humans tried to fight and defeat her. When Drago approached her, she jumped, or would have if she had been on the ground. He asked her several questions, what had happened to Hedoro, where her and the rest had come from, and why. she could only shake her head slowly. "I don't know what happened to her, she got worse and worse as more of us were created. as for why I'm not helping her fight, I don't know. Maybe I am helping her fight. fight her true enemy."





Liesel watched as the battle took place, unsure to decide what, if anything, she could do to participate. She wasn't that strong, she didn't have any flashy techniques. She was a blacksmith! She could make a sword, but what would that do! Nonetheless, she rushed forward, and tried to hack at several of the pseudopods, trying to avoid getting hit by them in return. When the last shriek sounded, she wobbled, the sound driving into her head and nearly making her vomit. But she stood firm, and tried to press on.




Tamao only stood and watched, this couldn't be happening. Even in her darkest nightmares, this shouldn't have been possible. Her mind had nearly shut down by this point, making her a sitting duck for the pseudopods, which tossed her again and again. She wanted to know the truth. bUt if this was the truth, she wasn't ready for it, not by a long shot. This... this was just wrong.

Demon was about to try and attack again when the ground began to shift and move. Cursing to himself he jumped up into the air whislt using the multiwalk technique to actually hover above the earth. "Damn, we can't really hurt her, I've got an idea, maybe we need to attack from the inside." With that Demon made a string of hand signs before a bunch of clones appeared, each a bit different. They all jumped on top of Hedero, about 20 in count. As Soon as they hit the mushy substance they began to punch it, most likely being pulled donward by the slime, but this was Demons intention.

Shun moved, not knowing what to do. "Damn, we can't get her." Activating his sharingan Shun looked to Hedero, maybe to find some type of abnormal thing wrong with her. But as he did this the earth began to Shift, making him jump upward into the air. He didn't like the way it felt, even if it was only a slight movement.

Hidden Substance
The hundreds of projectiles hit once-Hedoro and a number of the pseudopods as well, not being sucked in or falling, just stuck. More of the pseudopods would rise up from all sides, continuing in their continual actions of trying to throw the humans around all over the place.
Much the same happened to the numerous clones of Demon's, as had happened to the shuriken. They could punch and strike all they wanted, their hands risking a slight chance of getting stuck. They could pull free, but they were not being sucked within once-Hedoro's mass.
The room's surfaces would grow just a little bit less solid, but still not yet to the point a water walking technique would be needed. More of the pseudopods would continue to rise and fall erratically, showing no pattern, no rhythm.
(Raiken, Orochimaru entered this room at about 100 chakra, by now he's well past empty.)

Drago looked as he watched the people getting destroyed left and right. He saw that the Akatsuki or Double Helix had yet to attack. They were all big when it came to destroying one another yet frail when it had came to fighting to save the world. He then heard something odd.

"It's more..of you? Talking versions of you? That want to do more than eat...Wait how many?.."

Drago stood there looking at Hedoro..She..wasn't even there..not to him anyways...Things were missing..she was just fighting to fight. Not to get stronger..not to have fun..not to learn..but to survive.

"Err.."

Drago growled again. something had did this to her..and he didn't like what was going on. Drago only would scratch his head. He decided that the ninjas would listen to him. Or he hoped for their survival that they would listen to him. Drago yawned.

"Look theres no point of you trying to attack her head on..Try on capturing her...So she can't move.."

Drago would turn back to the Candy Goo.

"So you were apart of her?..."

(fountain? aww man I missed something... oh well better just go somewhere else)


Hurdy watched in vain as his attempts were thwarted. His chakara was almost all gone and his eye lids felt incredibly heavy. His knees buckled as a mass of hedoro shot up from the ground, throwing him into a corner. Unable to move himself he sat there and passed out.

Hidden Substance
The four pillars of black ice rose up around once-Hedoro, but it was hard to tell if they would remain for long. After all, if they were growing on top of the substance on the floor, and that was constantly shifting and pulsing, they could simply fall over from the instability. When the octet of sharp shadow lances speared into once-Hedoro's form, noting seemed to happen. As before, throughout this entire battle, once-Hedoro did not move, gave no indication that she, it, felt anything of what was happening.
Akira had managed to get close to once-Hedoro in his demonized form, and shot out a tremendous blast of explosive chakra. Without anything in it's path, it hit the large monstrosity, as well as the dozens of clones perched atop it, destroying the clones almost instantly, in puffs of smoke. As the smoke cleared, it became clear that the explosion had taken a gouge out of the monstrosity's mass, but it was visibly filling out once more, returning to what it looked like before in a scant few seconds.
A moment later, a clay minion jumped at once-Hedoro, to try to freeze it. Some ice and frost did form on a section of once-Hedoro, but it melted away when the substance turned misshapen flesh boiled and twisted, melting once more into the total mass.
The blast of water struck once-Hedoro a moment later, nearly striking North, but not really doing much on it's own. The clones had already been destroyed, so throwing water by itself was all that had occurred.
A moment later, a large boney serpent formed from Shun's blade, and rushed at once-Hedoro, before colliding to a crashing halt as many of it's segments would slam into her/it's mass, sticking like hair to a dropped candy.





Hidden Substance
The candy goo girl looked at Drago and nodded, that described it pretty well. All of the slime girls that were in the other villages were very similar to one another, with the Generals being shoulders above the rest of them in terms of development and skill. But at some level, they were all the same, at some base level, they were all Hedoro. Or at least, what Hedoro used to be. Not this new, monstrous form.
"Yes. She produced me, produced all of us, from her own substance, we are as much a part of her as we are her children. But as more and more of us were made, this happened."

As Oro stood there next to the candy girl and Drago, his vision slowly began blur, then it began to darken. The last image he had seen was that of the once-Hedoro. His chakra was nearly completely drained at this point. He leaned against the wall and slowly slid down until his was sitting.

"Damn..."
