Herald was silent for a moment longer before looking back at Takeshi and Emma. "Fine...whatever," he replied. "But if she's in her realm how are we going to be able to reach her?""Don't tell me you're a team and you have no way of-""You shut up!" Herald barked. "We could create a bridge from our realm to hers but only if she or someone she allowed to have power in her realm accepted the other side of the bridge.""Hey! You could even make the bridge permanent! You could be like neighbors!" Herald squeezed The Reaver's neck tightly, cutting off his air before looking over at Emma. "What do you want to do with him?" He asked Emma. "I'll let you decide. As much as I hate him...I can't kill myself personally." The Reaver reached into his cloak and pulled out what looked like a sealed letter. "Hey..." He managed to gasp, looking over at Emma. "If you decide to off me...could you do me a favor and give this to Ellise for me? I know you don't know me any favors but...she has the right to know what's in here." Herald turned his head slightly to look at the letter. Then he hawked out a quick fireball, burning it to blackened ashes in The Reaver's hand. "I don't see the need to grant you any last words," Herald replied, convinced Emma was going to kill The Reaver. A brief look of dismay overcame The Reaver for a split second before it was gone and he was back to his seemingly joking self. "That was a well-written letter," he told Herald. "And now it's a well done one."

So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down...
You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain...
☽ Emma glared at The Reaver quietly "If you have something to tell her, tell her yourself." she said. She looked up at Herald "If anyone wants to kill him, it is Ellise. So let her be the one to kill him if she chooses it." she told him. She saw Ellise's desire to kill The Reaver, it would be unfair to kill him after she worked so hard to find him and constantly fight the guy. She eyed The Reaver "Come here again though and I won't be as nice." she said. She smelled the air again as Mirai's wavelength spiked. "If Mirai needs us, she will let us in." she said, obviously worried. She was unsure about Herald but Emma actually liked Mirai. She looked at Takeshi "You can come with. It is up to you though." ☾
Gee today has been nothing but a bore and its likely the next day will be a bore. Aw who are we kidding? My entire life has been a bore lately.
You would think that a guy like me would have a life of excitement but I'm just as plain as the next guy.

Takeshi looked at The Reaver before looking at Emma. "I want to help. I just hope that this new girl allows a stranger like me into her realm, then again its an emergency after all. Where do we start if you don't mind me asking." He knew that they had planned to create some sort of bridge but how that would be created was a question he didn't know the answer to. Then again there were a lot of things he didn't know a thing about such as how most realm's worked and the secret mechanics that had been unknown to him. Once again he had heard yet another name that had been unknown to him. This would later on raise many questions on to who most of these people were such as Divine and someone else he believed was called Charlotte.
Takeshi's Techniques - The ones in use will be bolded.
Spells/Powers:
+ Black Step - Very similar to the original Takeshi's blue step the black step is a variation of it. By resonating with himself Takeshi is capable of moving at super high speeds leaving behind a blur like after image of him. The reason why the technique gets the name Black Step is because of the clothing Takeshi wears, when the after image of Takeshi is left it looks all black and fuzzy due to his clothing. Unlike the original the alternate can use this technique in quick succession due to his stamina so he could out speed anyone he comes into contact with. Anyone that is unfortunate enough to battle Takeshi will have a hard time catching up with him. This technique can't be used in his madness release form because Takeshi doesn't travel the way he does when he is using madness to enhance most of his capabilities. Most people confuse this technique as teleportation but truly its Takeshi's speed. In his kishin form this move is referred to him as the black dance due to the dramatically enhanced speed boost.
+ Soul Protect - A technique that is in constant use by Takeshi. In order to escape Shibusen's meisters and weapons Takeshi will use soul protect. This allows Takeshi to bypass soul perception which would be able to distinguish his soul from an average humans soul. Most with soul perception will see his soul as a human soul and have no clue of his warlock soul. He is also capable of disguising his wavelength to that of a regular cat. Since there are certain people that would be able to detect lies due to the fluctuations of wavelengths Takeshi has learned to keep his wavelength calm so no one would be able to detect his lies.
+ Familiars - Around the time Takeshi was still going to the DMA in the alternate universe he managed to animate his toy teddy bear. He named it Cookie and cares a great deal for it, calling it a him instead of a her since it didn't seem as feminine. Normally the stuffed bear is used for stuff such as household chores or guarding Takeshi while he sleeps. Cookie means the world to Takeshi and so far he thinks of them as the only beings he could truly trust. Always around Takeshi, he wears them on an article of his clothing all of the time which is usually his sweater. All he has to do is say his name and the familiar will awaken and grow a bit bigger in size. Cookie can't speak but Takeshi can understand every movement he makes since they have a unique link. Usually when he awakens the stick on the bear in toy mode will also grow. So far Cookie has been known to be used as a spy, guard, and even test dummy for training. Cookie is surprisingly fast and is able to move without detection, especially since he has no soul. After sustaining some damage they will revert back to their toy form. Cookie can scale tall buildings with a super jump but other than that and the previously mentioned features, that's all he could do. His other familiars are a bit different and are summoned for combat reasons. When using his shadow magic Takeshi can create familiars that are produced from his own shadows. These familiars aren't as strong individually but more of as a group. Usually producing five to ten shadows in order to attack his enemies Takeshi will order them to attack his enemies. The first familiars, shadows, are the weakest and capable of just scratching attacks and more stuff when they're in a group. Stalkers are the next level of shadows and much more quick and able than shadows. Most of the time Takeshi will create just five since they are more than capable of fighting by themselves.
+ Madness Overload - A technique that allows Takeshi to take on even the mightiest of foes. By amplifying the madness already within himself, Takeshi can fight on the level of a human that is undergoing madness release. When under the powerful influence of madness Takeshi's traits and abilities and greatly enhanced enabling him fight on an entirely new level. Upon using this technique Takeshi will also change his appearance greatly such as wearing a black cloak made of madness, his feet will also sink into the ground leaving only his legs. The way Takeshi travels now is by sinking into the ground as a shadow, his body now bends and twists in strange ways. Only when Takeshi uses madness overload is he capable of summoning his unique mask and weapon made of madness which you could learn more about in the description above. Among the new abilities Takeshi obtains he can transform his body into a shadow and phase through an enemys attack. This lasts one post and needs a five post cool down. Towards the end of training to learn how to control his madness he developed this form. Amplifying his own madness was a huge risk therefore Takeshi's master didn't like the idea of using it in battle but the young man will still use it if needed. Because of Takeshi's training with the cultist he is able to control the madness even more now and can freely enter this stage whenever he wants and maintain it for extended periods of time. Despite being able to fully control the madness release his personality will change to closely resemble that of a madman. His fighting style will be unpredictable and hard to follow. Just because he loses some sanity Takeshi will still be able to know the difference between friend and foe alike so his allies won't be in any real danger.
+ Kishin Form - This form is a last resort. When Takeshi enters this form his speed is unmatched and his strength unparalleled. His defense is also given an amazing boost as well as all his five senses. Though when undergoing this form Takeshi makes sure to chain these big morning stars on his arms as a sort of restraint. Even with the restraints Takeshi is able to move at high speeds in this form easily as if the restraints didn't even exist. After eating many pure human souls fed to him by the cult that raised him he began to grow more aggressive. More powers were revealed and he was coming closer to becoming a true kishin however he started losing himself. He would see illusions and go into these panic attacks. It was awful for the boy. Losing his sanity he said he wouldn't eat another pure human soul until his training to carry out the cults mission would be carried out. Later he would get better and regain his sanity but he would still swear off of eating pure human souls. He uncovered this form after eating the last pure human soul he would eat at the abandoned hospital. Everyone immediately thought that Takeshi was in the process of becoming a kishin because his wavelength was reaching levels that closely resembled that of a regular kishin, however this wasn't the case. Quickly his body changed and his eyes didn't even look normal anymore. Just as everyone was about to celebrate his awakening as a kishin he reverted back to his average form. Later he would learn that he could enter this form freely though every time he did his body would be under heavy stress afterwards. Despite obtaining this form he can't maintain it for large periods of time unless he becomes a full fledged kishin. By eating just one more pure human soul Takeshi will become a true kishin and transform into his kishin form permanently. Without the restraints Takeshi can attack using his claws or his legs to cause devastating damage. He also gains the ability to manipulate and produce intense black flames of madness from his body. These can be used for a number of purposes such as using it in physical combat, creating barriers of black flames, and even incorporating a battle style for it. The black flames are extremely intense and are more deadly than average flames. Ultimately this form is stronger than his madness overlord form. If Takeshi uses this form in succession he will grow a third eye on his forehead symbolizing that the madness has nearly taken over him and his mind on the border between sane and insane.
+ Madness Manipulation - The ultimate form of madness is being able to harness that power and control it. This ability of Takeshi allows him to use his madness to enhance his physical prowess and speed. Thanks to this ability Takeshi is able to use his shadow magic offensively as well as concentrate the madness through his sword to enhance his cutting ability. Madness manipulation is the ability to use the massive amounts of madness within someone to empower the user or compress it into the form of blasts and beams. Madness is available to everyone since most people have at least a small amount of madness within them. Only those with immeasurable amounts of madness could unleash the full potential of its empowering properties. Depending on the person the effects of madness will effect everyone differently. Being the new embodiment of fear Takeshi's madness is terror. His magic is the control of shadows. By empowering himself with madness he is covered in a black shadow like aura that makes itself very apparent. Though empowering his body with madness gives him a darker look this isn't a form that can be compared to his other two but he does consider it due to the appearance change. This empowerment transformation is known as Shadow Drive hence the aura that would be emanating from him. When compressing the madness into a destructive force Takeshi can create black balls of madness that cause dome like explosions that range quite far. Compressing it into a form of blast is also possible. Finally Takeshi can alter the form of the madness and change the shape of it, enabling him to convert the madness into weapons. In weapon form the madness is highly weak to an Anti-Demon wavelength and will immediately disperse should a user come into contact with it.
+ Black Shadow Magic - This is the type of magic that Takeshi uses as a Warlock. By fusing Takeshi's magical power with the shadows he can manipulate them making them fall under his command. Now before the madness had made its presence known within the young warlock's body, this form of magic wasn't as deadly. It allows the complete manipulation of shadows within the nearby vicinity. Altering the shape and form of shadows was the original limitation before Takeshi's madness amplified its powers and changed the shadows he controls into a physical form. Much like vector magic, shadow magic is very similar in the way it attacks, although shadow magic differs and has some unique limits. Takeshi can only manipulate shadows when there are actually shadows, he can't function well in areas devoid of light entirely. Despite being able to control shadows only Takeshi's shadow can be used in an offensive manner. After Takeshi's shadows have been amplified by his own madness they've evolved and managed to grow eyes and mouthes with teeth. These mouthes are capable of eating and the eyes link back to Takeshi, basically it enables father eye sight. Takeshi's shadow can take on a variety of shapes, from sharp spikes to tendril-like hands. He can also manipulate, slice through or devour anything that comes in contact with his shadow and it appears invulnerable to conventional physical harm, although it can be deflected by sufficiently hard objects. He can also see and talk through his shadowy eyes and mouths wherever his shadow can extend. Any form of light magic interferes with Takeshi's shadow magic. Madness induced shadows however are much more resilient than the regular shadows Takeshi manipulates. After using madness overload Takeshi's whole body will be able to transform into a physical form of the shadows themselves enabling him to use his shadow magic anywhere. In his madness induced form Takeshi must travel by sinking into the ground and moving in a way as if he was swimming on the ground as a shadow. When under the effects of madness Takeshi is still able to move as a shadow in areas devoid of light, able to use his body as a weapon.

Herald laughed as he heard Emma. "Alright then. Done." He snapped his fingers and a portal opened. Shira's apartment was on the other side. He didn't even bother looking as he hauled back and launched The Reaver straight through the portal with great force before the portal closed behind him. Their realm was heavily damaged but at least it was empty of threats for the time being. "Do you have some kind of plan to get to Mirai's realm?" Herald asked, wondering what Emma meant about her earlier comment. "Well you might as well," Herald told Takeshi as he looked over at him. "Sounds like it's your problem too now. No use ignoring it." He sighed and massaged his forehead with his thumb and forefinger as he waited for Emma's response. Mirai was seriously causing him a headache.
☽ Emma gave Herald and Takeshi a thumbs up "My portal making skills have gotten a lot better. If I can smell a place I can link a portal to it." she said. She closed her eyes then, searching for where Mirai's wavelength was strongest. "Got her..." she trailed off as a portal appeared "That isn't good... The portal goes all the way through meaning her territory is allowing anyone to come in." she said before opening her eyes and looking up "Let's go. She could be about to die as we speak." she said. ☾

"R-Right then. Nice work..." Impressed by Emma's ability to create portals as well as her amazing scent wavelength tracking abilities. "So if the portal was easily opened then that means she's pretty weak at the moment, right? I'll hurry as well then, don't want any trouble." Takeshi entered the portal quickly not aware of the danger lurking beyond.

The young warlock entered through the portal that Emma had made through the other side in Mirai's realm. Walking through he noticed that Emma had gone back to normal again along with her dress. "I'm sorry about your dress Emma. Maybe you can patch it up and make it as good as new though." A reassuring smile came across his face but right now he had other things on his mind. Making small talk which is what Takeshi usually attempted was blocked by his thoughts, still he tried and make a small effort just to show that he wasn't as worried as he really was. "Um the realm you two have here is really nice," he said awkwardly. "For someone that had just gone through all this crazy stuff you seem surprisingly calm. I'm guessing this stuff usually happens to you both commonly. In case you haven't noticed I'm not use to all of this yet. Oh! My apologies! Haha, there I go again bringing attention to me. Do you have a place to put Mirai here or..." Just then something peculiar caught Takeshi's attention. Something had had overlooked back when he had first come to the realm. "I-Is that castle yours?! Pretty huge. I never pictured Herald to be the type that admired luxury that much, nice place. There really is no limit to the creativity in peoples minds huh?"

Because of Takeshi's training with the cultist he is able to control the madness even more now and can freely enter this stage whenever he wants and maintain it for extended periods of time. Despite being able to fully control the madness release his personality will change to closely resemble that of a madman. His fighting style will be unpredictable and hard to follow. Just because he loses some sanity Takeshi will still be able to know the difference between friend and foe alike so his allies won't be in any real danger.
+ Kishin Form - This form is a last resort. When Takeshi enters this form his speed is unmatched and his strength unparalleled. His defense is also given an amazing boost as well as all his five senses. Though when undergoing this form Takeshi makes sure to chain these big morning stars on his arms as a sort of restraint. Even with the restraints Takeshi is able to move at high speeds in this form easily as if the restraints didn't even exist. After eating many pure human souls fed to him by the cult that raised him he began to grow more aggressive. More powers were revealed and he was coming closer to becoming a true kishin however he started losing himself. He would see illusions and go into these panic attacks. It was awful for the boy. Losing his sanity he said he wouldn't eat another pure human soul until his training to carry out the cults mission would be carried out. Later he would get better and regain his sanity but he would still swear off of eating pure human souls. He uncovered this form after eating the last pure human soul he would eat at the abandoned hospital. Everyone immediately thought that Takeshi was in the process of becoming a kishin because his wavelength was reaching levels that closely resembled that of a regular kishin, however this wasn't the case. Quickly his body changed and his eyes didn't even look normal anymore. Just as everyone was about to celebrate his awakening as a kishin he reverted back to his average form. Later he would learn that he could enter this form freely though every time he did his body would be under heavy stress afterwards. Despite obtaining this form he can't maintain it for large periods of time unless he becomes a full fledged kishin. By eating just one more pure human soul Takeshi will become a true kishin and transform into his kishin form permanently. Without the restraints Takeshi can attack using his claws or his legs to cause devastating damage. He also gains the ability to manipulate and produce intense black flames of madness from his body. These can be used for a number of purposes such as using it in physical combat, creating barriers of black flames, and even incorporating a battle style for it. The black flames are extremely intense and are more deadly than average flames. Ultimately this form is stronger than his madness overlord form. If Takeshi uses this form in succession he will grow a third eye on his forehead symbolizing that the madness has nearly taken over him and his mind on the border between sane and insane.
+ Madness Manipulation - The ultimate form of madness is being able to harness that power and control it. This ability of Takeshi allows him to use his madness to enhance his physical prowess and speed. Thanks to this ability Takeshi is able to use his shadow magic offensively as well as concentrate the madness through his sword to enhance his cutting ability. Madness manipulation is the ability to use the massive amounts of madness within someone to empower the user or compress it into the form of blasts and beams. Madness is available to everyone since most people have at least a small amount of madness within them. Only those with immeasurable amounts of madness could unleash the full potential of its empowering properties. Depending on the person the effects of madness will effect everyone differently. Being the new embodiment of fear Takeshi's madness is terror. His magic is the control of shadows. By empowering himself with madness he is covered in a black shadow like aura that makes itself very apparent. Though empowering his body with madness gives him a darker look this isn't a form that can be compared to his other two but he does consider it due to the appearance change. This empowerment transformation is known as Shadow Drive hence the aura that would be emanating from him. When compressing the madness into a destructive force Takeshi can create black balls of madness that cause dome like explosions that range quite far. Compressing it into a form of blast is also possible. Finally Takeshi can alter the form of the madness and change the shape of it, enabling him to convert the madness into weapons. In weapon form the madness is highly weak to an Anti-Demon wavelength and will immediately disperse should a user come into contact with it.
+ Black Shadow Magic - This is the type of magic that Takeshi uses as a Warlock. By fusing Takeshi's magical power with the shadows he can manipulate them making them fall under his command. Now before the madness had made its presence known within the young warlock's body, this form of magic wasn't as deadly. It allows the complete manipulation of shadows within the nearby vicinity. Altering the shape and form of shadows was the original limitation before Takeshi's madness amplified its powers and changed the shadows he controls into a physical form. Much like vector magic, shadow magic is very similar in the way it attacks, although shadow magic differs and has some unique limits. Takeshi can only manipulate shadows when there are actually shadows, he can't function well in areas devoid of light entirely. Despite being able to control shadows only Takeshi's shadow can be used in an offensive manner. After Takeshi's shadows have been amplified by his own madness they've evolved and managed to grow eyes and mouthes with teeth. These mouthes are capable of eating and the eyes link back to Takeshi, basically it enables father eye sight. Takeshi's shadow can take on a variety of shapes, from sharp spikes to tendril-like hands. He can also manipulate, slice through or devour anything that comes in contact with his shadow and it appears invulnerable to conventional physical harm, although it can be deflected by sufficiently hard objects. He can also see and talk through his shadowy eyes and mouths wherever his shadow can extend. Any form of light magic interferes with Takeshi's shadow magic. Madness induced shadows however are much more resilient than the regular shadows Takeshi manipulates. After using madness overload Takeshi's whole body will be able to transform into a physical form of the shadows themselves enabling him to use his shadow magic anywhere. In his madness induced form Takeshi must travel by sinking into the ground and moving in a way as if he was swimming on the ground as a shadow. When under the effects of madness Takeshi is still able to move as a shadow in areas devoid of light, able to use his body as a weapon.
The portal to Mirai's realm closed behind Herald as he stepped back into his realm. He looked around and grimaced slightly as he saw the wreckage in full for the first time. "Guess I'll take care of this now," he said to no one in particular. He stepped past Emma, looking over at her to make sure she was okay before stepping into the middle of the battlefield. He closed his eyes and focused. Green energy began to whirl around him, but it wasn't violent like it had been during the battle. It was focused and calm. Slowly the craters and gouges in the ground began to fill in with dirt. From the dirt sprung flowers and soon the field was covered in color once again. The trees that had been splintered quickly regrew from their destroyed stumps and in around 10 minutes the realm was back to the beautiful scene it had been before. Fortunately the fortress had avoided any damage as it had been a distance away from the fight. Otherwise it would have taken longer to rebuild. He looked back at Takeshi as he heard him. "It is. There are plenty of places for us in the castle," he told him, including Takeshi for the first time. "This realm is secure from invasion, except from The Reaver. But I don't think he'll be coming back anytime soon. Technically that girl Ellise could enter this realm at will since she's an alternate version of you, though I don't know if she knows it." He wasn't too worried about Ellise leading anyone to the realm though. He looked down at Mirai in Emma's arms. "Let's bring her to the castle. The spirits will take care of her. I can create a specific room for her."

Her ears perked and she looked at the castle "Yeah... but to be honest, if I wasn't here it would look a lot more dark in appearance." she said. She looked back at Takeshi and smiled "Sorry, we kind of got you into something rather challenging... if you want I can try and make it up to you by being... a teacher was it? Yeah." she said. She saw Herald make his entrance then and began repairing the realm "I always love when you do that." she said with a dreamy smile as she began walking to the fortress with Mirai. ☾
Gee today has been nothing but a bore and its likely the next day will be a bore. Aw who are we kidding? My entire life has been a bore lately.
You would think that a guy like me would have a life of excitement but I'm just as plain as the next guy.

"You sure do know how to put on a show for your guests. Because The Reaver is an alternate version of Herald...wait...wha!?" Caught off guard Takeshi had to let it sink in that The Reaver was Herald's alternate. It never really occurred to him until the moment, since everything was at ease for the time being. Well I guess it does make sense that The Reaver is your alternate. I can see how a player like him and a seemingly..not player like you could be opposites." When Takeshi hesitated it wasn't because he was about to say anything negative about Herald, what it meant was that he had trouble finding the right words to describe him. "I wonder if I'll ever meet my alternate...hope he isn't someone I grow to dislike. On second thought I change I wonder to I hope not. What if he really is someone I grow to dislike...I'm not doing it. I won't search for him, problem solved!" He laughed. "Out of everything in this realm I got to say I admire the castle most of all. You guys must be some magnets if you attract fights that often and your not apart of any of the academy. Since you live here alongside Herald you were the one to add those special touches to make it extra nice, thats what you meant by making the castle lighter, right? And also don't worry about dragging me into this, mainly because I was the one that decided to get involved with you guys. Still I wouldn't have things any other way. I couldn't be more happy with the situation I'm in now. Pretty soon I'll be famous huh?" Once again he gave a small laugh just to lighten up the mood. "And I'd love to have you as a teacher still. I mean did you see the way you were fighting back when The Reaver was still here? Remarkable work! Let me tell you that I found your white flames to be pretty impressive as well. And don't get me started on those barriers you made!" He went on for about a minute or so before stopping and taking a deep breathe. "Sorry I'm just a bit hyped is all. I've never had a teacher that I felt I could learn a lot more from then some weirdos in strange garbs."
Takeshi's Techniques - The ones in use will be bolded.
Spells/Powers:
+ Black Step - Very similar to the original Takeshi's blue step the black step is a variation of it. By resonating with himself Takeshi is capable of moving at super high speeds leaving behind a blur like after image of him. The reason why the technique gets the name Black Step is because of the clothing Takeshi wears, when the after image of Takeshi is left it looks all black and fuzzy due to his clothing. Unlike the original the alternate can use this technique in quick succession due to his stamina so he could out speed anyone he comes into contact with. Anyone that is unfortunate enough to battle Takeshi will have a hard time catching up with him. This technique can't be used in his madness release form because Takeshi doesn't travel the way he does when he is using madness to enhance most of his capabilities. Most people confuse this technique as teleportation but truly its Takeshi's speed. In his kishin form this move is referred to him as the black dance due to the dramatically enhanced speed boost.
+ Soul Protect - A technique that is in constant use by Takeshi. In order to escape Shibusen's meisters and weapons Takeshi will use soul protect. This allows Takeshi to bypass soul perception which would be able to distinguish his soul from an average humans soul. Most with soul perception will see his soul as a human soul and have no clue of his warlock soul. He is also capable of disguising his wavelength to that of a regular cat. Since there are certain people that would be able to detect lies due to the fluctuations of wavelengths Takeshi has learned to keep his wavelength calm so no one would be able to detect his lies.
+ Familiars - Around the time Takeshi was still going to the DMA in the alternate universe he managed to animate his toy teddy bear. He named it Cookie and cares a great deal for it, calling it a him instead of a her since it didn't seem as feminine. Normally the stuffed bear is used for stuff such as household chores or guarding Takeshi while he sleeps. Cookie means the world to Takeshi and so far he thinks of them as the only beings he could truly trust. Always around Takeshi, he wears them on an article of his clothing all of the time which is usually his sweater. All he has to do is say his name and the familiar will awaken and grow a bit bigger in size. Cookie can't speak but Takeshi can understand every movement he makes since they have a unique link. Usually when he awakens the stick on the bear in toy mode will also grow. So far Cookie has been known to be used as a spy, guard, and even test dummy for training. Cookie is surprisingly fast and is able to move without detection, especially since he has no soul. After sustaining some damage they will revert back to their toy form. Cookie can scale tall buildings with a super jump but other than that and the previously mentioned features, that's all he could do. His other familiars are a bit different and are summoned for combat reasons. When using his shadow magic Takeshi can create familiars that are produced from his own shadows. These familiars aren't as strong individually but more of as a group. Usually producing five to ten shadows in order to attack his enemies Takeshi will order them to attack his enemies. The first familiars, shadows, are the weakest and capable of just scratching attacks and more stuff when they're in a group. Stalkers are the next level of shadows and much more quick and able than shadows. Most of the time Takeshi will create just five since they are more than capable of fighting by themselves.
+ Madness Overload - A technique that allows Takeshi to take on even the mightiest of foes. By amplifying the madness already within himself, Takeshi can fight on the level of a human that is undergoing madness release. When under the powerful influence of madness Takeshi's traits and abilities and greatly enhanced enabling him fight on an entirely new level. Upon using this technique Takeshi will also change his appearance greatly such as wearing a black cloak made of madness, his feet will also sink into the ground leaving only his legs. The way Takeshi travels now is by sinking into the ground as a shadow, his body now bends and twists in strange ways. Only when Takeshi uses madness overload is he capable of summoning his unique mask and weapon made of madness which you could learn more about in the description above. Among the new abilities Takeshi obtains he can transform his body into a shadow and phase through an enemys attack. This lasts one post and needs a five post cool down. Towards the end of training to learn how to control his madness he developed this form. Amplifying his own madness was a huge risk therefore Takeshi's master didn't like the idea of using it in battle but the young man will still use it if needed. Because of Takeshi's training with the cultist he is able to control the madness even more now and can freely enter this stage whenever he wants and maintain it for extended periods of time.

Herald glanced back at Takeshi as they reached the castle, having trouble following his constant chatter. He guided them through the halls, though Emma would probably be familiar with most of it by now. "I'm glad you like it," he told Emma with a small smile. He led them up several flights of stairs and into a hallway with a multitude of doors. After a few minutes he stopped at one of them and turned back to Emma and Takeshi. "Here," He said simply before opening the door. He must have been creating the room on the way there. Inside was a cushioned bed that was just about Mirai's size and on either side of the bed were rows of the same flowers that Mirai had had in her realm and rather than a ceiling, there was a sky of semi-dusk contained within that one room, the same hue as Mirai's realm. The clock on the nightstand by her bed was a miniature version of the clock tower that crowned Mirai's realm and the walls were styled in the same architecture as Mirai's castle. "Lay her on the bed." He looked back at Takeshi. "Settle down boy. If you want an autograph then just be patient." Inside the room were the same spirits that could be seen floating throughout the castle. They were waiting to heal Mirai once she was set down.
So stand in the rain Stand your ground Stand up when it's all crashing down...
You stand through the pain You won't drown And one day, whats lost can be found You stand in the rain...

She followed Herald until he lead them to Mirai's room. She smiled at Herald before walking into the room and setting Mirai down on the bed so the spirits could heal her. Mirai continued to be unresponsive though she was breathing which was good. Emma turned and walked back towards the door. She once again admired how nice Herald seemed to be. Despite his claims that he found Mirai annoying, he was doing a good job in taking care of Mirai like making the room resemble her realm and even being nice enough to let her stay in their realm. She chose to keep quiet though since Herald seemed to hate it when Emma would say he was nice. ☾
