Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Ukiyo Sumizome))

It's been a long journey but Ukiyo and Kai finally make it to the Desert kingdoms. They spend quite some time riding in what looks like repetitive hills of sand as they reached closer and closer to a large mountain range. As they get closer they see a smoke signal. Ukiyo nods as he presses harder on the gas, heading straight for the mountain's walls. He skillfully maneuvers the SR as he makes it hover up the mountain until they get to the top. When Ukiyo parks the SR he looks to his right and sees the legendary Desert King, Izuru "Dagger" Shinzui. Ukiyo gets out of the SR as he walks over to Izuru and they greet each other.

((Ukiyo Sumizome))

Ukiyo and Dagger exchanged words for a minute. After a moment of chatter, Dagger went on to his rather large silver sand runner and began to drive off, stirring up clouds of sand as he took off. Ukiyo walked over to Kai. "Okay everything went according to plan. We have established an alliance. For now on the Dark Empire will be forced to fight battles alongside the Desert Militia in exchange for free access to rogue level creatures and discounted prices on skilled and elite level creatures. This was a wise business decision on our part. The Desert Militia works out deals with only people who they deem powerful, we should take this as a compliment." Ukiyo looked at Kai as they stood in the barren sand fields. He carefully studied Kai and smirk and he took off his pilot gear. Ukiyo's hands and eyes began to glow. "Sorry that I had to drag you out here. When Lord Fuzen is away he expects me to deal with the political crap. Now we can begin your training. After we're done we'll head to Izuru's hideout and spend the night there. Are you ready?"

Ukiyo looked into Kai's eyes and seen the fear that dwelled within him. Darkness began to swell in the soul of Ukiyo as he fought to keep the demons residing within him under restraint. Ukiyo smiled as he thought how fun it would be to fight at full strength, however he decided against it. I'll start off with something easy. Ukiyo whole body began to glow as he he grew the wings of a wyvern out of his back and the arms and legs of an amanojaku. Ukiyo took flight as he launched a fairly large fireball at Kai.

Ukiyo smirked at the thought of Kai using mere arrows to take him down. Obviously he was being underestimated but that would change very quickly. Using his amanojaku powers he released a orb of flames around his body to quickly burn the arrows before they could even reach him. Ukiyo needed to show Kai that he meant business. His body began to glow again as Ukiyo's legs transformed into that of a tribal warrior, and he started to grow the horns of a shadowbeing on his forehead. Ukiyo charged directly towards Kai, his wings fully expanding 20 feet wide as he growled loudly. Kai could see them in Ukiyo's mouth, the fangs of a vampire, they were deadly sharp. The wind that came from Ukiyo's charge was enough to kick up large clouds of sand. His sheer momentum and strength was enough to make this attack deadly but Ukiyo being the cautious one he was decided to add one more factor to the fray. His claws grew sharp and he prepared to rip Kai to shreads. As he grew closer, Ukiyo release a massive flamethrower-like attack from the depths of his belly. While he spat fire, charged at Kai, and prepared his fangs and claws, he wondered what Kai's counterattack would be.

Now Ukiyo was pissed, Kai still had the audacity to use weak weapons against him. Ukiyo's Ikimono Sacchi was at its peak now and with precise precision he bit down on the blade of the scythe, scattering it into fragments. Executing a quick barrel roll to his right, Ukiyo dodged the four daggers and landed on the ground. His body began to glow again as Ukiyo's body began to expand. He could feel his bones expanding and his muscles tightening as he grew stronger. Ukiyo took the for of a Shadowbeing with the arms of an elite Amanojaku. He stood at about eight feet tall and had layers upon layers of muscles all over his body. He quickly sped towards Kai at speeds his eyes could barely hope to follow. This will drag our what I want from you He launched several fire balls at the surrounded area in case Kai tries to evade his attack. Ukiyo clenched his flaming fist and threw a punch directly towards the centre of Kai's chest.

Ukiyo slapped his head into his palm as his anger grew. He had to be careful though. Too much would cause the demons inside to go insane. Ukiyo 's hand began to glow once more as they transformed into large claws with two foot long, metallic finger nails. Ukiyo charged once more this time devoted his attack to be more focused on speed rather than strength. He ran quickly like a strike of lighting towards Kai. He kept his fingers on his right hand close together like a dart as he aimed his left hand at Kai and started launching the sharp blade like nails at him like a machine gun.

Ukiyo was pissed now, he was going to have resort to doing some things that he didn't want to do. He dug deep into the depths of his heart as he let all his pain, all of his emotions spill out of his body. His hidden rage and sorrow that stored away behind the locked quadrants of his heart bursted out in an terrifying fury. Ukiyo could feel his blood boiling over and the darkness in him spreading. His powers level seems to reach beyond that of an elite class beast. He glowed brighter than ever as he let out a loud battle cry that could be heard from miles away. The ground started to rumble, and mini sandstorms began to occur as Ukiyo transformed into a large shadowbeing with a wolf-like appearance. The beast growls as he looked down upon Kai. "Prepare to be my dinner...boy" Ukiyo laughed as he spit a huge fireball out at Kai.
