Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Castle corridors were beautifully designed down to the tiniest of details, the ceiling a beautiful display of poetic art and architecture as it displayed a visible story. A collection of unnamed individuals interacting with others, discarding this artwork from above, a door opened up as a group of individuals left a brightly colored room. The one leading the group was rather tall, taller than the rest by a long shot, his attire also conflicted with the rest as he appeared more casual if anything. His long fur coat danced in the slight breeze produced by the guards that marched near him, ivory locks, and vibrant rose eyes heavily hinted towards the Masamune lineage..... But what Maguro would have quickly picked up was the clear, undeniable, and strangely define similarity to a certain Kini Masamune. Takuma who stood in front of the group turned as he crossed his arms, four individuals stood in front of the tall Masamune as he spoke.

His voice was rather strange, well, not his voice per say, but his tone and word formation were what was strange. "Aight, so we done here? Yer' just gon' give ma' people ta' respect they deserve, aight?" Takuma spoke out, eyeing each of present Ten Ichinomiya's. From Maguro's perspective, the ones that Takuma spoke too wouldn't visible due to the male's swaying coat and large physique. Although had the Uzumaki continued to seek to fulfill his curiosity, he would be able to identify a portion of one of the Ten Ichinomiya's. Long blonde hair that was darker at the tips, a small figure clad in a beautifully decorated pearl-colored armor, and a voice that undoubtedly resembled a female's own. "I've recently heard the Unity group has arrived at Crypt, Makoto and Esuka should be evaluating their worth at the moment. I believe your son is there, Kini Masamune." Takuma immediately responded to the name, his chakra surging violently and releasing a torrent of electricity upward that crashed into the ceiling but hadn't damaged it. "Betta' keep ta' name out ya' mouth, less ya' wanna catch these hands." The female chuckled, the rest sighing heavily.

Takuma turned to face the source of footsteps, Himiko, a Masamune, and a small child she seemed to be dragging by the hair approached the tall male. "Pesk! Keep your illegal offsprings away from my library!" Himiko cried out, violently tossing Maguro towards Takuma for the tall male to swiftly catch the small female. Had he, Takuma would carefully hold the apparent child of his with a bewildered expression, glancing at the petite female and back at Himiko. "Her? I only got one kid, ******** yer' on about?" Himiko's expression flickered between annoyance and suspicion

Takuma glared down at the female, Nipi with a rather bewildered expression. This was his daughter? He had a daughter? Yuno had another child and hadn't told him, expressing amazement whilst hiding something that peeked his suspicion, Takuma gently grabbed Nipi's shoulder's as he proclaimed with a bright smile. It was as if one was staring directly into the sun. "Yuno is still around?! Where she at?! Yer' gotta bring her ta' me, is she okay? Has she been eating healthy? How's her tits!!" Takuma continued on, rapidly shaking Nipi back and forth as he delve into more lewd, and lewder topics until eventually stopping at a subtle "P" sound. Releasing a awkward cough, Takuma stood up in front of the group as more Masamune's marched throughout the hallway.

Takuma glanced at Himiko and her companion, the female in particular grasp at her ivory locks and avoided direct eye contact as she spoke. "Quit it.... Your useless excuse of a son has already proven his worth against the Masamune linage... Him and his supposide friends are coming here." Takuma scowled, wrapped his muscular arms around Nipi's body and bringing the child closer to his side. "Boyo got friends, huh.... Doesn't matta'." Takuma paused for a brief moment as one of the Masamune Guards approached him, the individual was dressed in rather layered clothing, colored in all blacks and masking a sort of gas-mask. "Sir, the Absconditus have searched the perimeter, we haven't located the Uzumaki." Takuma scoffed softly, rubbing his ivory locks from behind as he glanced at Himiko. "Check with Nehemoth... She's unda' control of things when ta' higher ups are gon'.". The Guard bowed in respect, dashing off after the group.

Himiko herself crossed her arms, avoiding eye-contact continiously as she spoke. "You're acting too relax, you're still a criminal even with your worth... My precious childrens will be more than enough to deal with your heathen-offpsring than your pathetic Tengu's..." A clear sight of hatred flowed from Himiko's words, the female leaving Takuma and Nipi as she returned to the Library. The hallway quickly grew quiet and empty, Takuma along with Maguro were soon the only remaining occupance of the hallway. "Nipi..." Takuma spoke softly, his vibrant eyes lowering onto the female who potentially still stood beside him with his arms around her. While Takuma wasn't entirely the smartest Masamune, he had his suspicion... Especially when he's constantly feeling a emission of chakra from this apparent Nipi.... Along with the more obvious facts, he only had one child, Kini.

Takuma patiently waited for Nipi's reaction, beit her speaking or turning her head to face him, within that brief moment of time the Masamune would raise his free arm and rotate his body at apex speed. A straight punch was aimed towards Nipi's solar plexus, had this connected the impact wouldn't necesserely sent Nipi flying but instead would quite literally knock the wind out of her. A sensation of weightlessness would potentially overcome the individual and cause them to fall on their knees, potentially disrupting the concentration of chakra that Takuma had picked up on. "Who are ya'?" The male spoke, his voice lingered with bloodlust that far exceeded Kini's own, even at a passive level.

His suspicion was correct, Takuma's eyes glanced down at Maguro's appearance and immediately recognized him as the Vessel that Shinto sought after. This guy ended up getting captured but managed to escape, he must be a freaking genius! Takuma smirked as he observed the Uzumaki struggled to breathe properly, the Masamune felt rather confident that he managed to land a hit on someone as ingenious as Maguro Uzumaki.... He'd have to play this off smartly, can't ******** it up, hm! Takuma's brows bent inward as Maguro spoke, contemplating him as being clever but clearly speaking on the behalf of his own intelligence. Takuma took a few steps back, clenching his fist tightly. Figured out my fighting style from a single punch?! Kinda technique is that! a**l Iced..... Was it some sort of Kekkei Genkai?

Takuma could feel the surge in Maguro's chakra, his body tensed up immediately at the sensation provided by his Seismic Sensory, the same sensation resembled that technique from earlier. What was he planning?! The cloud of smoke erupted from the male's body and immediately revealed a new transformation, one that had ended up catching Takuma completely off-guard. The breast on that! Holy s**t! "Damn! Wait, does that make the great Maguro... An actual girl?" Wait, this was a bit confusing.... Sure, her tits were pretty big, but Takuma has seen bigger, especially from his wife. He could clearly remember her features, her beautiful spiky locks, her burning eyes, and that fierce power......


Maguro might be a genius but Takuma seemingly had the advantage in speed and raw strength, at least that's what he hoped. While Maguro moved towards him, Takuma charged in at apex speed as he lowered his body to be fairly even to the shorter individual. With swiftness and precision, Takuma would attempt to grab Maguro's arms with an iron-clad grip to prevent the male from simply yanking his arms out freely. Had this worked, Takuma would then bring himself closer to Maguro until he was standing on one leg between his opponent’s feet facing the same direction as the opponent. Sliding the other leg between Maguro's legs Takuma would stretch it out and raise it up as he leaned forward and pulled the Uzumaki onto his upper thigh. With this, the Masamune will then bounce the opponent up and continue to turn and roll forward to complete the throw.

The entire action was blinded quick, one incapable of perceiving such speedy movement would instantly find themselves crashing into the cold tile ground with tremendous force, the pain immediately shooting throughout their body and stunning them briefly, be it from the enormous pain or from impact to the temples from the fall. Regardless, Takuma would attempt to pin Maguro onto the ground by gently kicking the male onto his stomach and pressing his foot on his spine. "Nice try! Yer' might be smarta' than me, but I'm definitely fasta'! Besides, yer' gon' have ta' try betta' those tits pale in comparison to Yuno's!" A single photo would fall next to Maguro's head, revealing a rather..... Interesting photo. Takuma silently glanced around his surrounding before returning his gaze to Maguro. "Yer' from Unity, hm? Ya' know someone named Kini Masamune?"

Takuma smirked widely as Maguro complimented the female, to have a genius compliment his wife was rather amazing. "Damn straight! She got ta' fatty too!" Takuma's brow rose once Maguro brought up Kini, the fact that the Uzumaki had managed defeat a Masamune.... Let alone his son was terrifyingly impressive. Takuma crossed his arms as he removed his foot from Maguro's body, the large Masamune sighed heavily before speaking. "Guess I outta kick his a**..." Takuma smirked once more, reaching down and lifting Maguro onto his feet as he patted the Uzumaki's shoulder. "Aight, we gotta go somewhere a bit more... Private, ta' other might be back soon." Takuma's head scanned the hallway for a brief moment, by now the guards should still be searching for Maguro, the remaining Masamune excluding his crew are all occupied and the higher ups, Shinto's, they're probably behind the sealed doors..... They only need to avoid a certain individual for now. Takuma's head tilted slightly once he returned his attention to Maguro. "Yer' a smarty-pants, any bright ideas on how ta' sneak yer' a** outta here?"

Takuma carefully listened to Maguro's words, his arms crossed throughout the one-way conversation, immediately the Uzumaki surprised Takuma by bringing up a rather interesting technique. A technique that turns you invisible?! Takuma couldn't help but widen his eyes along with slightly opening his mouth in surprise. Dang... It's no wonder that this guy managed to overpower Kini, to be able to turn invisible so easily must really come in handy in a fight. Once Maguro finished speaking, Takuma immediately smacked his fist into his open palm with a wide grin, shouldn't be hard to keep attention on himself rather than Maguro, Masamune's were well known to be the center of attention.... Must be a Lightning thing. Regardless, Takuma kept a keen eye as Maguro did his thing, once the male had seemingly stripped himself of his clothing, Takuma headed forward down the hallway.

The large Masamune kept to himself, there wasn't really much to interact with due to the majority of the guards searching for Maguro, what Takuma found interesting was the actual lack of enthusiasm from them, it wasn't as if they were searching for something they desperately needed.... But as if it was something they simply didn't feel like losing. "Kinda different from ta' briefing we got...." Shinto placed emphasis on Maguro's importance and now.... They barely seemed to care that he had managed to escape their grasp. A heavy sigh left Takuma as he approached the exit door, his hands clutching at the knob for a brief moment but was immediately stopped by a thought.

Shinto desperately wanted Maguro due to the connection he had as a vessel, important energy-sources that resided within him were something that they wanted to further research.... So why was it like he wasn't important anymore? Had they succeeded in extracting that source. Takuma could feel his headache from these thoughts, thinking way too much was more of a Yuno or Kini type of thing. The Masamune briefly glanced up, pin-pointing Maguro's location due to his sensory skill. "Ta' kiddos at Unity, ya' happened ta' know where they at?" He had a hunch.... If Maguro was unimportant at the moment, what else was on Shinto's Bucket-List?...... Qliphoth, possibly and that resided with Unity of all places. Takuma bit his bottom lip as he waited for Maguro's answer

Takuma's eyes widen in shock, Crypt?! So they really were heading towards Shinto afterall. Well, Muramasa did devise a plan that required a few selected individuals to be guided to Shinto's location, but things were moving way faster than Takuma had initially thought. If that was the case then they surely should be aware of this, the Hunters must already have been deployed. Takuma clenched at the metal knob with a tight grip, the victimized object slightly crumpling against his grasp as he let out a slight chuckle. He'd have to gather the remaining Tengu's, he'd have to rendevous with the others.... Things were moving way too quickly. Once Maguro's final words registered, Takuma paused briefly before answering. History wasn't really his thing... A lot of academics weren't really his thing, as far as things went he was pure blooded Ferile-Masamune.

Takuma slowly ran his fingers through his ivory locks, grasping at the back of his neck as if the question brought physical discomfort towards the male. "Ta' beef yer' talkin' bout, ta' s**t against ta' Original's and ta' Muramasa's, Shinto and Masamune are tight." Takuma turned the slightly broken knob, a rush of fridgit air filled the hallway from the snowy outside. What Maguro and Takuma saw infront of them was a snowfield, a vast snowy field that seemed to extend nigh-endlessly, the vast blue skys that consumed everything above ground, would one immediately believe how high up they truly were? Takuma walked forward, two guards were posted besides the wall exhaling from their cigerettes, the one on the left holding a gourd. "Sir." They both spoke, a nonchalant tone, Takuma simply nodded towards them.

It wasn't entirely too difficult to get past these guys, their attention were gone and highly distracted by their conversation than the surrounding. Takuma would leisurely lead Maguro towards a simple "path" gradually advancing to the Bridge that leads to the Castle.

Seeing the situation, that slowly unveiled itself before him, Yuri hand her hand on her sword while the rest of the Tengu's stop their little prep rally even the two who was slugging fist. He had a kunai draw under his cloak as he answered her questions truthfully. "I found myself whisk in the middle of a heated battle, I was left stranded on these mountains fending in an area that I was not familiar with. I never dealt with cold weather like this before, and yet I survived.
On the last day of my wandering I met this young man heading towards this castle. I met a man named "Gamchicoth" who took me on. I plan on selling my sword arm for this battle since I was given refugee." I said as mentally prepared myself for a battle. "Kill the leader, the men will lose resolve...from their a slaughter..." he said mentally preparing himself for battle.
