Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oh because blowing things into tiny little pieces is supposed you make you feel good?" Akiko asked, rolling her eyes. "I am well aware that you are strong, Shin." She laughed and kept pace with him. "I'm no idiot."

Kiyotoshi lay in his cell at the bottom of the Dungeon. There was no light, except the glow from the ryoku chains which disabled his ninja powers. A guard opens a slot at the bottom of the door and slips in a plate of mash potatoes and eggs. He sympathizes with Kiyotoshi, "It's guys like you we wish we could let out." He closes the slot and walks off. Kiyotoshi just stares at where the food is, [We're going to be stuck in here for a long time huh?]

Suzaku was irritated, [This is exactly why I don't like being stuck inside a body. (Kiyotoshi) You can bust us out right? (Suzaku) Tch no. Remember what Seru did?] Kiyotoshi felt bummed out, [I know you're lying na. Still, there's no point in breaking out. I'm worthless out there. (Suzaku) Don't get all depressed on me I hate that.] Kiyotoshi closes his eyes tight trying not to cry, [Ai naka'a.] Suzaku tries to comfort him, [I fused with you, and I hate the idea of being stuck in a human body. That in itself says something.] Kiyotoshi argues, [You just fused with me to keep Ouja from stealing your power.] Suzaku was taken aback then just sighs, giving up on him.

Kiyotoshi looks up, [What is that?] Suzaku was even more irritated, [Oh great. That damn tiger is coming. (Kiyotoshi) Byakko? (Suzaku) She probably noticed my powers were restrained, which makes a good time for her to try and kill me. (Kiyotoshi) Then lets bust out... (Suzaku) I don't know if it's possible, with that seal that Seru placed on us.] Kiyotoshi wonders, [How do we break the seal?] Suzaku, [Only another Hashi from the outside can do it. It requires Issekigan to unlock the seal.]

Kiyotoshi decides to warn the prison. He gets near the door and yells, "Hey! Hello!? Anyone?! Another Shishou is coming!!" He hears a guard walking towards him, "What?" Kiyotoshi yells, "There's another Shishou coming!!" The guard thinks for a moment then flashes away.

After a few minutes the captain of the guards appears outside his door, "You said another Shishou is coming?" Kiyotoshi answers, "Byakko is coming here to kill Suzaku." The captain nods, "Understood. Everyone! Maximum level security! Ready for a siege!" The alarms sound off then all the guards scatter everywhere in preparation. The captain asks, "Suzaku, is there any advice you'd like to give us." Suzaku giggles as he speaks through Kiyotoshi, "All I can say is, good luck." The captain sighs, "Right." He flashes to prepare the prison. Kiyotoshi asks, [You think they can stop her?] Suzaku sighs, [They'll at least slow her down. For now lets try to find a way around the seal so we can get the hell out of here.]

Byakko giggles, speaking to Seiryuu, "Both of you managed to get yourselves sealed already. Your side was already weak." Byakko roars unleashing a giant blast of lightning, laying waste to the path in front of her. After the smoke clears Shin appears still standing while flames covered his wounds that were healing. Byakko growls with detestation, "You were always the tough one." Seiryuu laughs at this then Byakko remarks, "But Suzaku's power of evasion is failing." She transforms her body into lightning then charges past Shin, approaching the prison where Suzaku was with lightning speed.

A moment later, Shin flies out of a shadow in front of her wielding the Muramasa. His sword glides through her as he slashes, splitting her lightning form in two. Within a few seconds Byakko rejoins both halves then charges for the prison again. Shin falls through the ground then comes up under her slashing everywhere and blasting her with water to hold her back.

The captain of the prison watches them fighting in the distance, [Looks like someone managed to slow her down.] A ninja flashes next to him reporting, "Seriyuu's vessel appeared. He caught her 100 miles away but she transformed into lightning and almost made it here. Seiryuu's vessel appears to be a shadow ninja." The captain stares at the destruction happening from the fight, "Continue fortifying the prison." The ninja nods then flashes out of sight. The captain watches the guards raising earth walls and summoning large amounts of water creating a moat, [Seiryuu seems to be holding her for now. Hopefully they'll raise the Sanmotto (Triple Element) Defense Barrier before she can get here.]

Shin smiles "So your not going to listen? Well help them seal off the area with your shadow techniques. They dont know any of that." Shin turns back to Byakko and quickly swings his sword sending a blades of shadows sending Byakko flying back." Shin smiles and begins to release Seiryuu. Shins bones begin to crack into place "Lets begin."

Resshi above clouds watching whats going on with lighting sheild. [I think I'm going to hack in their. they r hiding something and that women trying to break it. I'll let her do work for me] he closes his eyes then uses shiqugun to see what crew is doing by opening left eye as it was cover with silver than red eye on right. Resshi reopens both eyes. " need find out whats going on and decide either leave or join party" as he stood quietly above clouds.

Kiyotoshi felt something, [Did someone just bust out a lot of ryoku? (Suzaku) Yup. Seiryuu took the fight to another dimension. (Kiyotoshi) Uh... is he going to be okay? (Suzaku) Yeah. Was a trick we used to split them up. Kind of works good. Anyway we need to try to get around the seal.]

Kiyotoshi, [Uh... I was wondering. Do you know anything about Level 0? (Suzaku confused) What Level 0? (Kiyotoshi) I can detect Nisemono even when he's using full cloaking. He told me its because I'm using Level 0. I can feel it but I can't turn it off.]

Suzaku looks through his memories, [Hmm. I thought people were confusing it with Haradokei (Internal Clock). Guess not. (Kiyotoshi) Yeah I thought so too but it's not the same. Well it doesn't seem the same. (Suzaku) It isn't. Based on your memories it's not Haradokei. I never got to see it first hand until now. (Kiyotoshi) Can we get around the seal with it? (Suzaku) I don't even know what the hell it is. You guys seem to have already evolved a new power for Issekigan. (Kiyotoshi grins) We doing you proud? (Suzaku) Tch. Try to make yourself useful and help me figure out what exactly Level 0 is. Then we might be able to do something about the seal.]
