~::Fragment (Pt. 2)::~
~::Inaba Hilltop - Somewhere Above Downtown Inaba, Overlooking the Town::~
Accessible only by the bus in the Downtown District, the Hilltop above Inaba is the highest point in the town and the best view in town. The majority of the Downtown and Residential Districts re visible from this spot atop the hill, and the gazebo and picnic table there help make it a nice, secluded location to spend time away from the hustle and bustle in town.
Every Monday, Friday, and Saturday there is a day care that brings its kids atop the hill for a short time after school. Looking after the kids is a part-time job that students with high responsibility can take in order to make good money.
...But tonight, on the night of 5/11, there stands the chance of a repeat of last night's troublesome appearance. Will the strange being from last night come out again? And will anybody be there to see it?

 ~::R. Shade::~ (Fight Theme)Another day had passed, and another Dark Hour had come. Returning to the scene of the previous night's encounter was none other than the zombie-like Shade which had appeared and attacked Eriko Kirishima and Ryoji Mochizuki together with some semblance of success. Its moan was throaty and haunting, echoing throughout the area as it lumbered forward towards the edge of the hill, the bench where he had run into the duo before. Whether or not its returning to where they were was a coincidence (and this was its usual haunt for some reason) or if it had been searching for them specifically was a mystery that only it knew the answer to (if it were capable of higher thought), it was here now as ominous and deadly as ever. Its dead, lifeless eyes continued forward until it reached the edge of the hill where it paused as if looking out across the view...and then, turning suddenly, it began back towards the path down the hill in the same odd, awkward movements that seemed to be the natural for it.
However before it would make the bottom of the Hill is was likely in for quite as surprise. And the night was still young...much of the Dark Hour still to come...

 =Sarutobi Sasuke=
..:The Jumping Monkey:..
Irises wide as could be, the blackness of his pupils was almost complete and only the smallest ring of brown coloring was noticeable. His eyes were indicative of his mood, he was excited and ready for anything. This was why he lived, he was the reincarnation of the greatest ninja to ever walk this land and killing was his art. He enjoyed to act in the shadows and attack from the peripheries to destroy those who opposed the Date, but he was fine with the outright battles. It was good training incase he was ever exposed mid mission (Haha like that would ever happen). What to use what to use... he could use his special Katana and be a more powerful and destructive magicaly... or maybe his gauntlets so he could practice his wushu, karate, taijutsu, and kung fu.. there was always the baton of the monkey king which was one of Sasuke's favorites because it allowed him to use the most un-ninjaly style and crack skulls.. or his true signature the bladed disks they were poisonous and fast. Those were his best choices in the battle upcoming and well it was going to be fun.
As he arrived on the path he stood his head cocked slightly to the right. There was someone in his way? His hands were ready and he was poised to pull out any weapon he chose and then destroy this kid who was... not so right. "So you're the one huh?" Looking over his shoulder he realized that his group hadn't quite formed up behind him like good little toy soldiers. How unreliable... Sighing softly he was ready to rip this...thing's head off but he couldn't do it as fast as he wanted because he had to see how those little kids worked and BLAH BLAH BLAH!... Well comeon kids! Lets get to battle.
Quote: ALL PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE SASUKE GROUP SHOULD ASSEMBLE QUICKLY
and if not... well watch your food because something will probably get slipped and eh... X_X

Jubei Yagyu
Wind Demon of the Shinkage-Ryu
As the trucks arrived at the Hilltop Jubei shifted slightly, letting his legs hang off the edge of the top of the truck. As they finally pulled to a stop, Sasuke having already rushed to the Hill and stopped in front of what was probably their target Jubei rolled his eyes slightly, hopping off of the truck and landing on the ground below. He reached back opening the door with a slight beckoning motion as he followed up closely behind Sasuke, letting his hand rest on his Masters Blade. It was the 'heirloom' of the Shinkage Ryu school passed down to every successive master of the school, and it finally found its rightful place once more in Jubei's hands. It was probably all he would need for this fight, but as he started their target, a rather off boy, he sighed outwardly remembering the Embryon soldiers that they were here to test. This entire situation was an unpleasant one in terms of the mission...

~::R. Shade::~ (Fight Theme)Despite the approach of a crowd which seemed more than intent to stop it, the lumbering form of the Shade did not cease it's descent from the Hilltop towards the town itself; whatever it sought was down there, and whatever stood between the two of them was simply an obstacle. Thus while the ninja and the samurai were waiting for their lackeys to attack, the thing did not...instead groaned painfully as it lurched forward, a powerful nuclear energy forming about its gauntlet-clad fist before lashing across the distance and crushing the enemies...both vehicle and man...with its surprising strength. Despite their size, even the cars were driven slightly backward, the supernaturally-powered enemies inside of them damaged by the blow, and Sasuke and Jubei would know in an instant when the force of the attack struck them and knocked them back into the vehicles...they had a real fight on their hands with this one. Though it didn't look like much more than a lumbering, rotting shadow of the person it had been (or was meant to look like) as it trudged towards them in its gruesome march, it clearly held inside of it some vicious and volatile power. Its flesh was gray and spongy, patched and rotten in places, and its hollow eyes continued to look forward lifelessly as it drew closer and closer to the team that had been sent to greet it.
Its gauntlets continued to glow ominously, body lolling back and forth, back and forth like some sort of ill-set pendulum that might break and tumble down to the ground on one side and never get up...but no matter how off-balance it seemed, there was control beneath the chaos, an uncanny balance and strength. Somewhere in the back of its throat there was a noise, a gurgle of some grotesque sort...a hint, perhaps that it wasn't going to give them anymore time to wait around. The fight had commence now...it was time to get to fighting or get to running for the Devil Kings and Embryons who had come up the Hill for their mission. But especially for the Embryons, it was time to prove their worth...that they were not expendable...and that, perhaps, they were worthy of the respect the Devil Kings didn't seem so ready to give them.

Aotabou, Kurotabou, and Stoney Val Viper
"AAAAAHAHAHAHWAAAAAAA!" a girlish shriek escaped an Embryon who was tossed from the truck at the force of the Shade's attack, landing on his posterior in a fairly genteel fashion given that many of the others who were struck would really feel the pain. Nonetheless, the strangely-dressed Italian-Englishman (huh?!) scrambled backwards and whined about the pain, clearly not interest in seeing how many times he could get hit and keep moving forward. "I-I-Idon'twannadiepleasedon'tkillmepleasepleasepleaseIhavemoneeeeyyy!" he cried pathetically, crawling to the side of the path which lead to the top of the hill where he hid behind a bush and curled into the fetal position, trying his best to will himself to become invisible to the Shade and the Devil Kings simultaneously. He was insignificant enough that they would overlook him if he wasn't a threat to either of them, right? ...Right? In his mind he could hear the voice of his totally smoking hot and extroverted Italian-English girlfriend shouting at him, 'You CAN do it!' And his none-too-elegant mental response to that was. 'NO! I CAAAAAAAAAAN'T!"
...Why was he still alive, anyway?...
Meanwhile, a pair of figures leaped from the vehicles fairly safe and landed together in front of the shade, both assuming a similar pose to the other in an opposite but symmetrical fashion. "It's time to show," one began, only to have the other one finish, "What we can do! It's the team of Aotobou..." Another change in speaker. "And Kurotabou, and we're..." all together now! "Here to defeat you!" Wasting now time, the two weaved past one another and took to opposite sides of the Shade, aiming their weapons at their opponent as they charged up a magic attack on either side that they used for a sandwich-style assault. "Mabufula!" shouted one, "Magarula!" came the other...and the spells ripped across the path with vicious intent towards the rotting creature, intent to find out just what this thing was made of and use their teamwork to take it down swiftly, proving their worth.

 Mikito Shadow-Usagi Mikito quickly changed into his atma form as he vaulted out of the veichle, his figure grew taller and a bit more wider, metal formed around specific places and he and exhaled, this fight was gonna be a long one... Mikito was blasted a few feet back from the attack, he rolled a bit before recovering and shooting back up on his feet. 'I hope this might do the trick' thought the jet black rabbit, a megido formed in his hand and he lashed it out at the thing. "Megido!" added Mikito to Aotabou and Kurotabou's atack.

=Sarutobi Sasuke=
..:The Jumping Monkey:.. Ow. The ninja had been flung backwards by the force of a powerful nuclear spell that for the life of him he hadn't really expected. Stupid zombie... Recovering mid flight Sasuke was able to flip over and land on his feet with little more than the soft pad of his feet. Clothes, slightly singed from the nuclear explosion, rustled slightly in the breeze as he reached for a weapon. Into his hair his fingers delved and when they emerged a moment later he held in his hand a very tiny stick. The Baton of the Monkey may not have looked like much when it was reduced in size for travel but when expanded it would take the size of a full bo staff. With a twist of his hand the staff enlarged and with a swish he smashed the end of the staff against the ground showing he was ready for anything. If anyone cared to look they would see that the monkey's wounds had begun to heal, this was the effects of his passive regeneration skills. It was time to attack. In the blink of an eye Sasuke was invisible the light curving and bending itself around his skin as his atma got to work doing its one job. Cartwheeling quickly to the side to hopefully confuse the beast he landed silently on his feet the only thing that gave away his position was a minute distortion in the light. Jumping forward his invisible baton high above his head.The ninja unleashed his SHINGEN FURY attack striking at the beast with supernatural strength and power. Quote: Shingen Fury- two to three hits of very high phys damage (number generation decides hits)

Jubei Yagyu
Wind Demon of the Shinkage-Ryu
As soon as the lumbering creature started to charge, it's fist glowing menacingly Jubei knew this wasn't going to be as easy as he first thought. He quickly crossed his arms over his chest bracing himself as the impact of the attack blasted him throwing him back with a thus as he slammed into the truck behind him the door denting beneath him, and dropping him to his knees. He stood up, quickly drawing the Master's Katana, inhaling slightly as he felt the surge of power run through him. He thought of the best course of action and nodded when a few of the members of Embryon jumped into action, one hiding, and three fighting. He smirked slightly watching two of them orchestrate a double attack, and the third adding his own to the mix. It was good, it means they weren't completely useless. "Wonderful, now we can get this rolling. That was a good start you three but next time... try for something like this..." He started as he raised his blade swinging it down quickly. "Twinkle Nebula!" He commanded releasing his most powerful wind attack. with the way the other attacks were going he would have one from each side, one from the front and one from the back... it was a good orchestration.

~::R. Shade::~ (Fight Theme)Retaliation was imminent, but the Shade didn't seem all that interested in stopping its approach to the Devil Kings and their Embryon team. Matching elemental spells struck it from either side and its movement paused for a moment, but a split second later it was walking through the smoke of the impacts again, only to catch Jubei's spell and Mikito's Megido viciously as well. Forced back a couple steps, the smoke and residue from the attack took a few moments to clear...but once it had, the creature still stood, ragged and rotting a short distance away from them with its empty eyes facing forward and its throat gurgling some angry protest. However it didn't see the attack from the ninja coming, a hail of two powerful strikes nonetheless, the strikes bounced off the lumbering beast like it was nothing, as though physical attacks had no effect on it. The direction of the attack which had struck it would be all it needed, however, to deliver its own retribution, and this time the spell wasn't quite as tame as the first one. Making a sudden dash forward, it drew its hand back and then thrust it forward almost like an open-handed punch...only from within its palm erupted not a physical strike, but a Severely powerful Nuclear Missile that was even stronger than the very-high- level spell would have normally been...was this thing bearing an affinity to nuclear power?! Whatever the case, the missiles erupted on each of its targets (the entire squad minus Stoney) with an unforgiving power. Aotabou and Kurotabou were hit and scattered far to either side of the Shade, burned horrible and sent viciously into the rock wall on one side and the rail overlooking the drop into town on the other. Meanwhile Mikito would be driven back into the truck again with an immensely violent power, denting the front back into the engine so deep that the boy would almost be lodged there. As for Sasuke and Jubei...oh, it would be unpleasant to be certain...but thankfully at their level and experience, they could suffer through one or two more of those before the fight was over. Didn't mean it wasn't painful, though.
In the meantime, the Shade continued walking forward...soon, before they knew it, the trucks were mere feet away from the fiend and its unflinching march, descending down into the town of Inaba. Its arm began to raise as if it intended to simply strike the vehicles out of the way...and whether or not it was capable was a moot question at this point. Whatever this thing was, it was dangerous...and definitely out of the league of all but the strongest of the team which had gathered here to fight it.

Aotabou, Kurotabou, and Stoney Val Viper
This was crazy! Insane! Ludicrous, even! What in the Hell was someone like him supposed to do against a freak of an enemy like that thing?! It wasn't human! It wasn't even being a demon right, cause a demon would have been stopped by that many attacks! Why-hyhyhyhyhy?! "Why am I even here?!" Stoney bemoaned his situation from his hiding place near the edge of the hill and behind the rail, finding a nice spot with a rock that would protect him even further from whatever evils lurked beyond his haunt. Aotabou and Kurotabou were known for being good as a team, and the Devil Kings had a reputation for being the most powerful mercenary group in the service of the Emperor! If they couldn't do anything to stop this thing he couldn't possibly stand a chance! So really, he was well within the realm of sanity to react like this...it was only natural! Oh, damn, if only he had a bunch of thugs he could send in to fight in his place this wouldn't be so scary! Where were his Ensigns when he needed them? What good was being a Major if you couldn't order around some rookies while you were at it?! ...A sudden explosion, the sound of someone smashing into the trucks. "AIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEE!!!!"
As strong as the two of them were together, they had weaknesses when the two of them were separated; thrown to opposite sides of the Shade and smashing into their respective obstacles, they struggled to their feet and regained their posture after some effort. Kurotabou coughed once, a little blood leaking from the corner of his lips. He had taken the worst of the attack when he landed against the wall, though Aotabou had suffered a great deal, himself. That last spell...that was of a level that a Major had no business living through. That they were still standing was a testament to the fortitude they held within them and the confidence that they had at their ability to fight when they were together. And now, despite the shock of the attacks which had wounded them, they stood ready to move again as the Shade drew closer to their Devil King leaders. No way were they going to allow this fight to end without proving what they could do and making a dent in the beast that stood before them. Their previous two elements had failed...they needed only try the others! It had to have a weakness somehow! "Maragion!" the first shouted, darting towards the back of the fiend while the other ran full-speed towards the back of the vehicles, leaping overtop of them to fire off his own attack, "Mazionga!" Fire and Lightning crashed unrepentantly down upon the beast, followed by the two drawing their weapons. They might not get another chance if they failed this time...so after their spells they closed in, front and back, ready to eliminate the Shade and prove their worth once and for all.

=Sarutobi Sasuke=
..:The Jumping Monkey:..
This was more than surprising. The creature was smarter than he expected and all the more powerful than he believed it to be. These thoughts were all running through his head as he pulled himself to his feet after being launched through a nearby tree. The Nuclear Damage was severe and he had already sustained a fair amount of pain due to the previous spells. His wounds were healing themselves as the invisible ninja bounded back to the edge of the battle, the regeneration was helpful but no where near as helpful as real healing magic would have been. Regardless he was a ninja and a devil king and he could sustain a couple more of those before he went down. On the peripheries of the battle, his form completely invisible as long as he wasn't moving around, he surveyed the situation. He could not strike again with physical attacks and to risk botching another type of untested attack could give away his position. Looking over to the two men who were attacking relentlessly the ninja was forced to smile just the slightest bit. Good little toy soldiers and almost worth their salt in his eyes. If they survived of course. While all this thinking was going on the staff of the monkey king was being stored back into his hair and another special weapon was being withdrawn. His personal sword, Shadow's Tooth, was a formidable weapon and even increased the amount of damage his magical attacks did by about a fourth. But what magic? Sarutobi's spell was weaved and casted in less than a second his invisible sword being encased in a likewise invisible frozen aura. Soon he would pounce and strike and he would destroy the creature.

Jubei Yagyu
Wind Demon of the Shinkage-Ryu
Jubei watched as their attacks impacted in succession, grinning slightly at the decent work of the Embryon members. So they weren't totally useless. Regardless, however... the beast was still standing. Jubei grimaced slightly at that fact, he hadn't held back when he hit it... He thought about this as he shifted his stance, reaching down and drawing his second Katana, dropping into his twin fighting stance. He probably had to take this fight seriously... But what to do... from the way Sasuke's attacks rebounded it didn't look like physical would work... which meant things like cruelest cut and pralaya were out... He could always continue throwing wind attacks but from the looks of it that wasn't going to top his advance. Well, for now he wold just focus, change his state of mind. He could think of something after that. He looked at the beast before him, his eyes steadily growing cold and emotionless, his body tensing and all excess motion ceasing. He had but one goal now... to destroy this beast, and that was all. He felt the surge of power as his Demon's Presence forced it's way around him, and even the beast should feel his pure killing intent, and should be unnerved by it.

Mikito Shadow-Usagi Mikito yelled as soon as he was hit by the small, he only remembered feeling weightless, then a gasp of pain as he was snet flying into the truck, "Ouch..." was all he could mumble, it felt like his insides were blasted out of his body, he tried to wiggle, but he was blasted so strongly that he was indented into the truck, after a moment of struggling, he finnally peeled himself off the front of the truck and slumped to the floor as soon as he got on his feet. Gathering the strength to get up Mikito cursed as he realized the strange zombie remained unharmed, Mikito started sprinting towards the zombie and leapt over it firing off his spell at the creature's head, this time, a dark energy was gathered in both of Mikito's hands as he set them out in front of them, "Curse of Words!"

~::R. Shade::~ (Fight Theme)After taking a spell like that last one to the faces the Embryon and Devil Kings could still come back and fight some more? Heh, who were the zombies here, anyway? ...Well, it's not like the shade was thinking that, but it seemed a fairly valid question (and the answer was none of them, since none of them were actually zombies) given the situation. Instead, however, the Shade's mind continued to remain a mystery, its motivation seeming to be little more than continuing down the path towards town and eliminating anything that tried to stop it. In this case, that included the Embryon...and as he came within range of the vehicles he seemed quite ready to walk straight through them...only problem with that was the array of warriors who had gathered around it for another assault. First a pair of elemental spells from the front and back, both struck the Shade but seemed to put a very small dent in its rotten, fleshy hide...if any real impact was made at all. Its throat gurgled violently as it made to return fire, but the sudden descent of Mikito's Curse of Words spell caught its attention...though with no effort at all made by the Shade the Dark energy seemed to wash over without impact. But then, like a flash of light out of nowhere a blue sword became visible, finally making a visible slice in the small gray creature's hide from which a thick black ooze, which must have been its blood, dripped ever-so-slowly down its chest. It was a good wound, fairly deep but not enough to tear into the organs...maybe a shattered bone or two...but despite Sasuke's deceptive attack having hit its mark, the creature only stumbled back a few steps. And that should have been a dreaded omen...
What came next was nothing more than wanton violence, an energy building up inside of the monster that was great and terrible all at once...it looked nuclear but the contents of the thing were unclear, but as the thing caught its balance and took a single lumbering step forward after the attack it had endured, its scratched up, clouded eyes suddenly opened wide as did its rotten mouth. And what came next was an explosion...sheer, nuclear energy mixed with something less obvious that ripped through the hilltop path in the terrifying shape of the mushroom cloud, knocked the trucks into a roll down the path, and tore away the railings along the side of the path, sending them tumbling over the hill into the town below...along with the coward that had been hiding behind them. But the worst of the attack wasn't the collateral damage...but the impact upon the people who had stood in front of it. Sasuke and Jubei both would feel a ferocious impact, the peak of the creature's nasty strength crushing into their chest and singing their flesh just a little, a lingering burn that would remain for a while (a trademark of the nuclear)...as for the others, the effect was more permanent. Aotabou and Kurotabou, caught in their approach, were near the epicenter of the blast and took a full face full of nuclear power. Bringing up their weapons to shield their faces, they had little hope...tossed viciously into opposite directions, they landed limp on the spot. One lay half-dangling over the edge of the cliff...slipping slowly over the edge until he too fell and joined Stoney at the bottom...and the other landed flat on top of Mikito, who being caught suspended in mid-air over the Shade would have fared no better than the body which landed upon him (if not worse).
There was nothing left of this mission now...nothing except the Devil Kings and the shade in its reckless death march down towards the town. The Dark Hour was nearing its close...and it was obvious by now that whatever this thing intended for the town below couldn't be anything but evil. It had to be stopped...and only Jubei and Sasuke remained to stop it...the question was, could they? Quote: Nuclear Winter - Severe Nuclear/??? Damage, All Enemies, +Burn Status (? Uses)
