The Worst Game of Hide and Seek (DP-Hard)

[Kazura Uzaki]

"Um, no, I wouldn't put wires in your brain, I'd give you an earpiece. And excuse you, I'd make a perfectly fine doctor. I could pass the boards any time I feel like." Kazura kept walking until the source of the soupy presence condensed itself towards the basement. He nodded in Irina's general direction when she commented on the stairs. He wasn't about to take an elevator in a time like this. Hurrying towards the nearest fire stairwell, Kazura hurried down it with haste until he arrived at the correct floor. Taking a deep breath, he flung open the door to the basement hallway and saw the towering bug man thing. Like an armored humanoid ant with sharp claws and glowing purple eyes. The stuff of nightmares.

"Stand Beside Me!" Forming reiatsu and pure Willpower into substance, Kazura used the Martial Discipline: Stand to conjure a golden automaton into being behind the Ant King. Without 50 Energy Sensory, Irina wouldn't even be able to see the vague outline of the Stand so it might come across as Kazura issuing her a command instead of calling out the phrase necessary to activate the technique. If the Ant King was strong in Energy Sensory, it would be able to see the punch headed straight for its back with ease, but would it be fast enough in body and instincts to avoid a 800 speed punch with 1,200 strength behind it that was coming from behind it?

Kazura wasn't fully expecting the creature to be taken down so easily, so he had back up plan after back up plan forming in motion. For now, he was a good distance away from the creature and could fight it with his Mind much more capably than with his Body. His Stand would hopefully give this monster a tough fight. If the fight started going sideways, though, Kazura could support the Stand with ranged attacks. Irina also could help out, and probably would help out instinctively seeing as though she couldn't see what Kazura was doing.

{Technique Used}
Technique Name: Summoning Discipline: Stand

Class: 1

Technique Type (Kido, Hollow/Arrancar Technique, Human World Dweller Technique, Other): HWD Technique

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Fullbringers, Quincy, Mod Souls

Technique Element: Will

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect):
This technique takes Energy Generate, Output, Movement, and Willpower, and renders them in the most potent way imaginable. It is, even amongst the Martial Disciplines, a terrifying technique, and one that makes all fighters stronger. This technique, when activated, reflects the user’s soul, in the most pure form. It creates a form based on this soul, and animates it. It gives the soul the will and physical power to fight. It gives the user an ally, who will Stand besides them at all points in time.

When this technique is learned, the user records how they truly see themselves, what the most true version of them is in their mind’s eye. This is given a human body, and becomes a figure that they can always dimly see out of the corner of their eye, although when the technique is not active, the figure, which will now be referred to as the Stand, is not capable of doing anything, and reacts only to the users actions, not the outside world’s.

When the user choses to do so, they may summon this Stand into the world, giving them independent action. The act of creating the Stand is one that utilizes reiatsu, but once the Stand exists, it no longer is reiatsu. Nor is it flesh and blood. It is a construct of pure Will, and can affect the world as such. Ergo, techniques that destroy reiatsu do not destroy the Stand, although suppression techniques can prevent it from existing in the first place. The Stand appears in eyesight of the user, no more than 200 feet away.

This Stand is invisible to the naked eye, as it is a manifestation of Willpower. Anyone with 50 ES can see it’s outline, and 100 ES can easily detect it’s features. Even if someone lacks the ES to detect the Stand, it is easy to observe the Stand’s effects on the outside world, as anything that it intends to interact with, anything it demonstrates the Will to push or move, is affected accordingly. So, as the Stand walks with purpose, someone would notice concrete cracking, and footprints appearing. As the Stand clashes it’s will against another person’s body, the wounds that appear will be visible.

The Stand possesses it’s own physical stats, although it doesn’t possess spiritual stats, nor does it possess sensory stats or specialty stats. It uses the User’s senses and guidance in order to know where to move and what to interact with. It possesses no reiatsu pool, but ignores cutback, as if constantly utilizing Push. Although it has no Reiatsu Strength, it cannot be affected with status conditions, although barriers and defenses of course can stop it.

The Stand’s physical stats are that of a Brave type, equal in Level to the user of the technique, as if it had 300 in both stats. Once this technique is mastered, that is raised to 400. The user, when they learn the technique, picks whether they want Strength or Speed to receive the higher boost. The Stand does not grow tired, no matter how fast it moves, or how frequently it does so. It’s attacks can be blocked, but it itself cannot be damaged. It lasts for 10 posts.

How to use technique (How is it activated?):
When learning the technique, one must find the perfect, idealized mental image of themselves, and chose to devote their soul to either Speed or Strength. They also must know all four basic HWD techniques.

When activating this technique, the user must call out the phrase “Stand Beside Me!” and select a location to conjure their Stand. Then, by utilizing their reiatsu, and concentrating Willpower, they can render the Stand into being.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)
This technique, first of all, can only be used twice in one thread. It costs 650 reiatsu to use, a hefty amount, even by the standards of such a powerful technique. Most of the weaknesses of the technique, however, come in the form of restrictions upon the user. While the Stand cannot grow tired, the user receives half of the stamina taxation that the Stand would’ve received, preventing them from going all out. Additionally, if the Stand would be damaged, the user receives the damage instead, wounds appearing on the corresponding part of their body. This only applies to physical damage. The Stand also relies on the user to see and make decisions, and if the user is impaired, the Stand is much less effective. If the user falls unconscious or dies, the Stand instantly vanishes. At the end of the 10 posts, the User must also pay an additional 150 reiatsu to maintain contact with the Stand, if they wish to use it again later in the thread.

Kazura's Stand gets the Brave boost to Strength, and appears as a shining Gold Automaton. Kazura sees himself as a pristine figure, shining like gold, incorruptible. Like a Robot, Kazura sees himself as a man for whom logic is god and emotion is only a supplement to decisions. While in reality, he is not quite like this, his Mind surely sees himself as this Harvey Dent of Fullbringers.

[William O, Creed]

The hallway being of decent size wasn’t enough that Kaura nor Irina weren’t picked up immediately by the insectoid adversary that now stood in their way. This creature definitely was something far more dangerous then everything else either of them had faced so far throughout the hospital. Kazura having more experience in facing other spiritual individuals would recognize what was standing there like a statue staring at him was something on his own level if not above him.

Kazura wasted no time immediately focusing his reiatsu in order to activate a technique that was nothing less than advanced. The insects right arm twitched as it turned its body slightly and in the following moment the impact of the stand figure was caught by the hand of this creature. Despite the power behind the fist that this figure formed from Kazura’s reiatsu unleashed, the body of the insect remained imoble. A surge of air pressure rushed past the insect down the hallway where it would send Kazura and Irina’s hair and clothing backwards as if they had themselves out a car window.

The structure of the hallway cracked due to the strength of the blow although the most severe location that would likely catch Kazuraq’s eye easily was beneath the insect. The cement floor of the hallway wasn’t just cracked like the walls, but broken and indented inwards. This insect had blocked his Stand’s punch with no issue yet it was obvious it didn’t diminish nor cancel out the sheer power of the Stand. Pulling forward the insect would attempt to take the Stand off the ground and then throw it against the wall to its left.

Following up right away by turning back down the hallway towards the two Fullbringers and opening up its mandibles. It’s mouth followed suit and thus its tongue was released, a thick purple appendage that extended down the hallway at an alarming rate of speed seeking to stab Kazura in his torso. The tip of the tongue shaped similar to a spike although Kazura with his instincts would be able to pick up right away on the purple liquid laced on the tongue. Perhaps the saliva of the insect that was obviously poisonous. Although he was in charge he was in no position to evade for if he didn’t meet this attack head on Irina was even more likely to suffer the attack.

[Irina Davayte]

Irina didn't have time to explain that she already was, in fact, pretty much right beside Kazura before it seemed like a giant hairdryer was blowing her away from the giant, armored figure. For what felt like at least the third time today, Irina tried to figure out what was happening. "What are you saying? No, what are you looking at?" she addressed Kazura somewhat shortly, getting tired of being in the dark. "Hi, can I help you with something?" Irina then addressed the apparent hymenopteran, trying to use the most polite tone possible. One of these days, she was sure negotiating with the thing that was trying to eat her would actually help. The walls and floor began to crack, and she tried to not imagine being buried alive. It would be best to take care of this thing quickly.

Apparently the creature had the same thought, and it flicked what seemed to be a tongue (she wasn't sure due to its speed) towards Kazura. Instinctively, she reached out and shot a blast of snow (bucket-sized, 300 speed, 200 strength) from her hand towards the tongue. Maintaining a defensive stance with one foot slightly behind the other, Irina held her sword in front of her body, knowing in the back of her mind, at least theoretically, the creature would have to slice through her weapon to get to her.

Remaining reiatsu: 2750 - 50 (snow blast) = 2700
Fullbring level 1: 10/10 posts

[Kazura Uzaki]

Kazura watched in frustration as the insect blocked his Stand effortlessly. Caught the golden automaton and swung it into the wall. The Stand was caught off guard because Kazura was caught off guard, and it crashed into the wall and more than likely went through it due to it being composed of just Will and force. That was not good for the structural integrity of the building, so Kazura commanded his nanobots to go rebuild the wall while he dealt with this incoming poison tongue.

Forcing his reiatsu out into its maximum output, Kazura activated Gate again to put his Fullbring's armor's durability at 2,000 once more. That should hopefully help deal with the tongue that was moving incredibly quickly, but the physical strength that this Ant King had demonstrated with his limbs was no joke. Kazura could easily still be knocked back by the force of the tongue even if it couldn't pierce his armor and whiplash was a real possibility if he wasn't careful. Also, it was poisoned but he was confident that if it couldn't get through his armor he wouldn't have to worry about that.

Irina stepped up and sent a blast of snow at the tongue, hopefully doing something. Personally, Kazura wouldn't want the inside of his mouth or his tongue to suddenly be covered in frozen slush. If it didn't recoil and continued to pursue Kazura, he'd do the dumb thing and try to catch the poison covered "appendage" with his titanium right arm. He'd use Bringer Flash to surpass the tongue's speed at just the right moment, trying to grab it out of the air with a 1,500 speed thrust. Nearly doubling its speed would hopefully allow him to get a good grip on it. It definitely was going to be much more physically strong than him, even though the muscles of the tongue in a human aren't as strong as their limb muscles, but this was an insect so who knows how strong the tongue was.

So, while he was working on grabbing the tongue, he was working on getting his Stand up on its feet and jumping through the hole in the wall it had created. He'd Will it to grab the tongue as well and then pull on it with all its considerable might. Kazura grabbing at the tongue was more a distraction than anything else and also an attempt to keep the poison away from Irina, who he just remembered asked a question and he didn't respond to it yet. "I'm looking at an enemy creature. It obviously wants to murder us and this whole hospital. Why would we try to negotiate with it?"

[William O, Creed]

Despite apparently being outmatched in terms of raw power, neither Kazura nor Irina were going to back down from this ultimate challenge. The spirit of heros raged on in both of them; it seemed even as the hallway of the basement suffered immense damage. The Stand being thrown away like a small child from an adult this Ant was nothing like the other insects that the two of them had faced up to this point. This one wasn’t relying on numbers or some sort of tricky attack, it had them outclassed and it knew it. They were prey so it was time to hunt!

The icy blast of reiatsu that Irina unleashed at the tongue of the Ant encased the long dagger-like appendage causing the creature's eyes to narrow. It made no other physical reaction nor any hint that Irina had caused it any sort of pain. Kazura went right to work, wasting no time at all to grab onto the tongue. Of course he’d have to shatter the ice that now encased the tongue itself or just hold that, but either way the Ant could see what was going on and in an instant made his move. Executing Shunpo filling Kazura’s field of vision instantly as its tongue pulled Kazura forward. The long purple appendage flies back into the insect's mouth like a steel cable.

If Kazura didn’t didn’t let go of the Ant’s tongue he’d find his hand pulled into the mouth. Regardless the Ant would crush the ice around its tongue and then release a massive roar amplified by the close proximity and structure of the hallway they were all in at the moment. The roar was a technique known as Howlrazor, one that Beasts knew to turn the tables against dangerous adversaries. Irina, Kazura and the humans above in the hospital would even hear the voice of this Ant. This wasn’t something pleasant though and after a moment they’d hear nothing.

Unless Kazura could protect his ear drums then he’d suffer just like everyone else as his eardrums were assaulted, his hearing would cease along with Irina’s and thus their teamwork would suffer more than either would have anticipated. In fact from the sheer strength of this insect’s howl both Fullbringers were about to suffer an incredible degree of pain as blood would begin to stream down from their ears. It wouldn’t last long though as the Stand was still a potential threat and this insect was smart enough to realize that fact.

Turning around and rushing the Stand the insect would attempt a tackle. Distancing itself and the Stand from the Fullbringers by forcing it down the hallway tearing apart the floor as they went. Unless Kazura would manage something the Stand was going to get pushed away from him and then forced through the floor of the tunnel deeper than a corpse apartment. This thing was bloodthirsty and now its attention was shifting again back on the weakest prey. Irina even through the pain would feel as if something had just crawled down her spine as the eyes fixated on her.

Leaning down a bit as its back seemed to rip itself apart in order to reveal long insectoid wings that likely had been tucked beneath the armor-like exoskeleton of this bug. In a single motion of movement the insect was off soaring down the tunnel at top speed right from the get go. If Irina couldn’t get out of the way nor put up a defense, she’d have to hope her boss could cover for her. If not then Kazura’s bit of depression was likely about to reach an entirely new chapter while Irina’s would come to an anticlimactic end.

Technique Name: Howlrazer
Class: 4
Technique Type: Other
Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): Beast-Clan only
Technique Element: Wind/Sound
Technique Description and Effects: Creatures of sharp senses themselves, Beast-Clan members know how easy it is to have them overwhelmed by sensory stimulus. They make use of this knowledge and apply it to their own abilities, creating a vocal technique that fills the ears of those around them with the loud vibrations of the roar or scream. In practice, this technique is initially a loud sound that fills the victim's ears, using one fourth of the user's Strength as the value. (i.e. 100 would be 25) It automatically causes confusion and disorientation as the mind swims from the powerful wave of sound. However, the real strength of this technique comes when the Strength of the technique is 50% higher than the Senses of the victim; at this point, the eardrums burst, and the victim's sense of hearing is completely removed. Atop that, it also causes loss of balance, preventing any high-agility or complex maneuvers. This includes making step techniques unsafe for the victim, as without their sense of balance, they are likely to injure themselves by losing their footing mid-step.

How to use technique (How is it activated?):
Take a deep breath, build Reiatsu in the throat, and release it with a scream or howl of some sort.

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)
Cost, as always, comes first. This technique costs 150 Reiatsu per usage. Obviously, this technique cannot be used by mute characters. This technique also targets everyone except the user, including allies.

[Irina Davayte]

Indeed, the creature didn't seem to be in the mood to talk. "I just like to give people- things- the chance to explain- or change their mind- I don't know. I can't explain it right now," she distractedly responded to Kazura, who hadn't explained what the Stand she couldn't see actually was, trying not to use her brain power on this discussion. She didn't consider herself an optimist or a particularly kind soul, but Irina wasn't the sort to go into a situation with guns blazing; it just seemed like better tactics to feel out the situation first.

Irina interpreted the Ant as being annoyed, at worst, by the ice she'd shot at it, and considered her options. More than once, in situations where she'd been outmatched, Irina had found something big and use Soul Command to hit the thing with the large object, instead of fighting her opponent directly. This thing, however, was apparently strong enough to start breaking the walls already, so she didn't know what she could hit it with besides, perhaps, trying to collapse the building on it. Which sounded like a terrible idea. Had the hospital been evacuated after she'd pulled the fire alarm? How much had the people around the hospital noticed about the abnormal goings-on? Would she be able to get herself out of here if she did that? She abandoned this idea quickly. It seemed that her best option would be to just get out of there.

Just as she'd settled on that option, the Ant let out a scream that made her ears feel first like they were under an enormous amount of pressure, then the pressure let up, and with it the sound of the roar. She'd instinctively put her hands up to her ears to cover them, and was reminded of her mother's scolding about listening to loud music when she was a teenager: "Don't do that, dear; you'll make yourself deaf." She gently clicked her fingers, which were now wet with blood, and heard nothing except the buzz of tinnitus that meant her cochlear nerve had decided it had no idea what was going on. Well, she thought, Hopefully that sound will scare off anyone who is still lingering around here.

Wiping her fingers off on her pant leg, Irina noted the Ant chasing after something invisible, and took the opportunity to try to get out of there. She assumed Kazura would be able to take care of himself, but if not, she assumed there wasn't much she could do to help. Trying to get away, she pushed off the ground with Bringer Light and lost her balance completely from the Howlrazor and landed in a heap. This gave her an idea as she stood up. Maybe she could at least slow this thing down by making it slip. She considered whether it would affect Kazura as well, but she decided he would be able to anticipate it much better than the Ant would due to their familiarity with each others powers. She fired three snow blasts at the ground, making it slushy and yucky.

As she did this, she felt like her Fullbring was running low on reiatsu and was dangerously close to sealing itself from lack of energy. She reinvigorated it with some extra reiatsu and it stabilized once more. She would have to keep note of this if she nee ded to stay released for such a long period of time in the future. She backed away slowly while keeping her weapon raised in between her and the Ant.

Remaining reiatsu: 2300 (-200 refresh level 1 fullbring) -50 Bringer Light -150 3x snow blasts

[Kazura Uzaki]

As Kazura was yanked towards the Ant, he knew that he was about to get his arm bit off if he didn't do something. He had the Instincts to let go if he wanted to, but he'd rather not if he could avoid it. Instead, he focused his Gravitational Pressure into making his Skin into Steel with a Durability of 2,000. For all its strength, the Ant would find Kazura's arm very hard to chew through. This would also protect his ear drums from the howl razor, as they were now made of highly durable steel. Not having highly trained senses, Kazura didn't notice Irina having trouble behind him, but instead focused on the threat right in front of him.

The threat that was turning around and jumping towards his stand and trying to bury it in the ground. Having an idea, Kazura knew this was going to be a last resort, but something he had to try anyways. He let the ant bury his golden automaton, feeling the impact against his own back as the Stand couldn't feel anything anyways. Irina was behind him, covering the Ant's escape path in slush and ice which would hopefully slow it down if it made its way out of the tunnel it just created and back into the hospital's basement. But Kazura didn't want to allow that to happen. Deactivating Gate even though he wouldn't have enough durability to survive more hits without it, he knew that he couldn't afford to have all of his energy reserves taxed quadruple if he was going to defeat this thing.

He jumped into the tunnel with Bringer Light at 1500 speed while using his Stand's strength to try to keep the Ant King from getting out of it easily or turning around easily. Lightning growing around his hand, he activated Bringer Flash and punched forwards to try to slam into the Ant King's back at 450 speed, paltry compared to the Ant King's speed but hopefully the Stand would be able to keep it occupied for just long enough. Soul Force was the biggest, baddest singular attack in Kazura's arsenal. If this thing landed, the insect Beast Clan's internal organs would be shredded by the massive generation of reiatsu and its externals would be fried by lightning. Hopefully that could at least put a damper on its rampage, because he didn't have much left in him...

Technique Name: An Elemental Switch



Class: [Equal to your class]



Technique Type: [other]



Usable By: [Any race]



Technique Element: [Various]



Technique Description and Effects: [The basis of this technique is reiatsu. What one can do with the byproduct of one's life essence. Everyone is different, yet one fact remains true for each individual: the element in which your reiatsu manifests as. Every spirit manifests itself as wind while outside of the body. This is what allows one to influence the air to increase the gravity around them. It's also the reason that a normal person is unable to detect a spirit with a majority of their senses. This ability can change that, at a cost. The use of this can change the element of your own spiritual pressure into one of four other things, while master's of this technique can change others.

With earth, your spirit is unwavering, and makes the Reiatsu inside you almost completely solid and unwavering. This gives you two abilities. The first replaces both your gravitational pressure, and makes it so a spirit is unable to hide from the senses of normal humans. Gravitational pressure is a tool used by the strong to subjugate the weak, completely and absolutely. For earth, this is not the same. For earth, you might loose your gravitational pressure, but in it's place, you gain a body of steel. Your body becomes as strong as your highest offensive stat while this ability is active. The cost for this is dramatically reduced speed, cutting it in half, and making all techniques cost twice as much to use.


How to use technique: (How is it activated?): [The original caster can pass change the properties of one's reiatsu of a willing non failure participant once per thread, in a non-combat situation. The process leaves the two completely immobile, and unable to fight anything off if they were attacked. The failure casting however, can do the same for himself in the same amount of time. The failure, however, is not restricted in their mobility, but loses the use of their flood for two posts, as in the post you cast it, and to the end of your following post.

In combat, you can activate your element of choice by paying 400 reshi. It lasts five posts before it deactivates, and you can reuse it immediately after it wears off. This does not apply to lightning, which is stated in its use above. While active you gain both the positives and the negatives, and are unable to turn it off until the post have worn off. This ability takes up one tech slot as its name, followed by the element chosen.]


Technique Drawbacks: {[Stated above, plus you lose the ability to use gravitational pressure until your reshi is returned to its natural state, and will render all spirits visible as the element chosen, along with the pain each ability cause while active. Can only have one chosen element at a time, and are unable to have it altered aside from another failure with the technique known as 'A failure's gift'. ]

Made By: Impossible

Reserved: [Yes, but due to the nature of this ability, other's learning this ability are able to reach master with it. Can be taught to another if the teacher has 'A failure's gift', and does not need to actually learn this ability to teach.]

Technique Name: [Soul Force]

Class: [2]

Technique Type (Kido, Hollow/Arrancar Technique, Human World Dweller Technique, Other): [Human World Dweller Technique]

Usable By (Technique is available to which races?): [Fullbringers Only]

Technique Element: [Varies]

Technique Description and Effects (Explain appearance, powers, and effect): [Soul force is a Fullbringer Only technique. It requires Output to be Mastered and Energy Generate to be Learned before this technique can be learned. Soul Force is a technique that combines the raw talent of Fullbringers with the techniques of Output and Energy Generate. By harnessing and manipulating their own soul using Soul Manipulation, mixing it with the reiatsu of Energy Generate, and releasing it violently with the masterful practice of Output, the Fullbringer can let out massive waves of pressure and force.

This force is only released upon physical contact with an opponent, much like Output, except it requires a solid hit to the torso. It does not come with any specific increases in stats, but it is still powerful regardless. Based on the content of the Fullbringer's soul, a different element is released painfully into the opponent's body. The chart is below. The blast that is emitted from the palm is powerful enough to bypass Hierro and Blut, however, it doesn't deal cutting damage. Instead, it shatters bones and tears apart internal organs. The opponent will most likely spew blood from their mouth due to the incredible internal damage. That is just the first effect. The second effect is the external damage in form of the element based on the user's soul.

How to use technique (How is it activated?): [See Above]

Technique Drawbacks (Limitations, repercussions for use, etc)

Despite the high requirements for learning it, it requires physical contact in a very specific spot. If contact is not made in the torso, then the reiatsu for this technique is wasted. After paying 400 reiatsu, the user has but a single post to make the contact. It -can- be used if contact is made before activating, however, if done so, it has greatly reduced power. If there is no charge up, it cannot bypass defensive techniques automatically, and has to resolve with the standard stat clash. As this technique has no stat boosts like Output does, this can potentially invalidate the entirety of the attack. This technique is highly stamina draining to use, as the user is focusing their own soul into a powerful attack. More than once or twice in a thread would completely exhaust the user.

[William O, Creed]

The female Fullbringer putting even greater distance between them while doing what seemed like the best she could to get out of this situation wasn’t what the Ant had been expecting. These two had faced down the other insects that spread throughout the hospital without a lot of trouble. Although it was obvious that the male was the more powerful of the two the Ant could sense the power of the female as well. He hadn’t just experienced her ability, but he could sense what she was capable of. It was for this reason that he didn’t put much stock in her defeating him, but knew she could be a benefit to the male if she wasn’t accounted for at the very least.

The Ant though even as his back was turned to the two humans while beating down the golden figure of reiatsu, still could pick up on the slight change in the scent of the air. The copper twinge of blood that now seeped from the ears of the female. His howl had been successful; it seemed against her yet he didn’t smell anything from the male. All he could tell was that the male’s spiritual signature spiked higher than most other times. The major difference though was right now the way his signature felt was different as if he was constantly using something without pause. Having dealt with the golden figure the Ant turned back around to the humans seeing the female cover the floor of the tunnel in what seemed like slush instead of solid ice.

In the next moment the male stepped forward moving at a speed that the Ant could still rack ready to swat away this Fullbringer and finish off the little girl behind him. That is until the golden figure managed to rise up from the floor and grab ahold of the Ant from behind. Restraining the Ant’s arms, Kazura was able to close the distance and strike directly at the chest of the Ant, releasing a massive voltage of electricity throughout the internal workings of the Ant’s body. However, it wasn’t flawless, breaking free from the golden figure’s grasp the Ant grabbed hold of Kazura much the same way, extending its wings and in the next instant they’d both vanish.

Irina, if she had been watching, would truly see them vanish from her view as the Ant executed Shunpo in order to fly upwards while holding Kazura at a speed of 12,000. Smashing through the ceiling of the tunnel yet ceasing at a single obstruction wasn’t the intent of this Ant as it felt everything burn. In less than an instant Kazura would feel his body slam through the floors and ceilings of all six levels of the hospital until the both of them were now more than a hundred feet above the building. The Ant’s eyes began to shine bright as they narrowed staring directly at Kazura. “Good attack prey.”The lightning coursing through the body of the Ant already caused so much damage that survival was no longer an option.

The Ant began to scream in pain as its eyes lit with electricity that burned through its internal workings like a frayed computer. Despite this the grip around Kazura even loosened and the Ant showed its determination to finish off its prey. The Ant would try to bite down one last time on Kazura’s left shoulder, its mouth roughly the same size as a lion’s. Whether successful or not afterwards Kazura would feel the life fde from the Ant while victory coursed into his soul. The Ant had been brought down, but at what cost and was he truly the last threat?

[Irina Davayte]

As she'd suspected it would, when the Ant was finished with the Stand, it turned towards Irina. Also expectedly, Kazura stayed in its path, punching the Ant in the chest with a ball of lightning that she'd never seen him use before. She made a mental note that, assuming they got out of this okay, she and Kazura have to compare notes on the weird skills they had. Unexpectedly, they both disappeared from her field of view, and based on the roughly Ant-plus-Kazura sized hole in the ceiling, she surmised that they must have gone upward. This, she thought, was probably the Ant's doing as she'd never, at least in recent years, observed Kazura moving too fast for her to see.

There wasn't much for her to do, Irina figured, besides wait about a minute and see what would happen next. If Kazura didn't come back, she'd try to go outside and find him before making sure the scene was secure and retrieving Yuri.

The Soul Force strike landed true, blasting the internal organs and the outside of the Ant with extreme prejudice. However, Kazura had been blasted upwards with an incredible speed and strength as the Beast Clansman used Shunpo. His skin made of steel, this didn't bother Kazura much in terms of how he felt as he crashed through six floors of hospital, but he did very much dislike having to go through so much material so quickly. It was highly disorienting, highly distracting, and upsetting as people could easily have been hurt by that if they were still in the building. And there were bound to be patients that hadn't been able to be evacuated yet. The creature demonstrated ability to talk by commenting on Kazura's attack and calling him "prey" before trying to bite down on his shoulder in a last ditch effort to try and do damage before it died.

Flexing Gate with almost the very last of his spiritual energy, Kazura increased his Durability to 2,000 to have the Ant bite not go through his shoulder as he halted his descent with Air Ground. As the Ant bit into his shoulder and then died, Kazura felt the life energy leave it, deactivated Gate, and started preparing a ritual. With what little consciousness he had left, he sealed the Ant King into his own body using the Black Mark Seal technique, forming a Tattoo of the Ant King on his back underneath his shirt. The Beast clansman would be sucked into Kazura's body which would then start to falteringly descend using air ground to land on the roof. Completely spent, Kazura hoped that this was the last of the enemies because he had next to no energy left. He had never reached such a low point except when he had pushed himself too hard Lacrima Crafting in the past and had pushed himself to literally nothing left and passed out. His memory after that was hazy but he did remember waking up in his office...

Regardless, once he reached the roof of the hospital, he'd Will his Stand to leave him, let his Secondary Fullbring leave him as that was reaching its end as well, and then he'd start to feel incredibly dizzy and like he needed a huge meal. He sat down on the edge of the roof and just looked out over Karakura Town. Had they done it? Was it over? Hopefully Irina was okay, that Howlrazor had been brutal. All of these things flashed through his mind as he slowly started to fall asleep just sitting there in the wind. Assuming the structural integrity of the building hadn't been compromised by the jump upwards, he'd just sit in his armor and try and rest... just... a little... bit...

The Ant King has fallen while his body has been stolen by the man that brought him down with no serious injury. As for the threat in the hospital though it wasn’t completely gone, Kazura may be able to sense the reiatsu of the individual behind all this still down below, but due to his exhaustion that was going to be much more difficult. Irina on the other hand would have no issue knowing about this other entity as the day at the end of the tunnel that the Ant King had been blocking opened up to reveal a young woman around her own age that had the look of a mad scientist or perhaps a college student during finals . . . tired she looked tired.

Not even noticing Irina at first the woman rushed out of the doorway holding onto a laptop while she wore a backpack. Slipping on the slush and falling to the floor was when she noticed Irina standing at the end of the hallway. Although she wouldn’t have been able to hear anything Irina without a doubt would have noticed as she was now in the middle of the tunnel and actually blocked the woman from escaping. “Get out of my way.” She demanded as she got back up to her feet. It was apparent that this woman didn’t have much combat experience, but all the same she was a Fullbringer, something Irina would be able to tell and Kazura would sense.

[Irina Davayte]

"Hey Google. Text Kazura 'You okay question mark'." Irina felt her throat vibrating as if she was talking, but couldn't actually hear herself, which was a pretty bizarre sensation. Had the watch heard her? Was she too loud, or too quiet? As she started to check the display of the watch to see, someone ran towards her, seemingly to get away. Suspicious. Scrambling to her feet, the other woman shouted something that seemed somewhat aggressive, and Irina determined that it would be best to detain her for now and find out more. "Are you okay? Did you see that thing? Do you know what's going on?" Irina asked, probably shouting, as she approached her, zipping over quickly and using the slush to slide over as if she was stealing a base, attempting to keep her from getting back up.

"Oh man, I'm so sorry!" she lied badly, "accidentally" catching herself with arms crossed, shooting out two icicles into an X that, if successful, would pin the unfamiliar Fullbringer to the ground, followed by two more in the same pattern, just in case. "Ugh, I don't know why that happens! I don't even know how to melt them." The second sentence was true. Sliding around in a bad attempt to get herself up, she flung her arm to swat the computer away. "Seriously, what's going on here? People are dying." If she tried to speak to Irina, Irina wouldn't know what the other woman was saying, and would hand her Irina's own phone, gesturing to her ear and shouting that she couldn't hear, so she could type whatever she was trying to say. Irina assumed that, if she had been fast enough to catch the woman, she'd be able to swipe the phone back if she didn't like what she did with it.

[Kazura Uzaki]

Kazura's visor popped up with a text message from Irina on the Heads Up Display. You okay question mark." The google had, funnily enough, not translated the punctuation appropriately and just converted it into text. Kazura smiled behind his helmet for what felt like the first time today and the first time in a long time. "Hey Google, text Irina, 'I'm alive, Giant Ant is no longer an issue. Very tired." His google gave him the chance to see what it was going to send before he sent it, so he checked it for accuracy before sending the message on its way to the phone which was probably no longer in Irina's hand. Rolling over, he could sense the presence of the Fullbringer at the basement level but knew he couldn't do much about it in his current state. He took a moment to try to pick himself up off the roof and found himself still needing time to rest before he could pull himself up given his body was still made out of steel. He set himself back down and took a few deep breaths to prepare himself for what would come next. Hopefully Irina could handle what was going on down there.

Sliding over tio this science woman was an interesting movement that the foe hadn’t expected it was because of this that she wasn’t ready for Irina’s next action. Succeeding in binding her to the ground with her icicles the scientist would be unable to leave the tunnel now. Although the slush floor had made it hard to move from the beginning now she had something actually keeping her from just leaving. While Irina began to circle around her though in order to bind her legs to the floor in the same manner the reiatsu of the woman would flex rising enough to take notice yet not enough that she was activating her Fullbring. No instead this woman was concentrating her reiatsu into her stomach.

Irina was successful in essentially trapping this woman so that she wouldn’t be able to get away as now both her front and back were pinned to the floor. After a moment though the woman opened her mouth after remaining voiceless once Irina had started to enforce her plan. Immediately flying out from this woman’s mouth was the buzzing of bees. Hundreds of them swarming out from her stomach were she had kept the eggs, specifically meant to hatch only once they were flooded with reiatsu to stimulate their growth. The bees rushing out and towards Irina would attempt to sting her like a natural swarm. The major difference being that these like the other insects were crafted differently and meant to cause immense pain right away. Each one injecting venom comparable to having a boiling injection of lead.

“You dumb bitch, you have no idea what you’re doing! If they don’t get my research they’ll destroy all of Karakura not just some measly hospital.”

[Irina Davayte]

She supposed that Kazura had, in fact, answered her real question, which was whether he was alive, although she'd phrased her question in a much more pleasant way. Hoping the bees were made of something organic, she cast a couple of snow blasts at them, coating them in freezing cold. Normal insects died in the cold, and she hoped these would react the same way. The woman said something that Irina couldn't make out due to the hearing loss, and even if she had been any good at reading lips, she was too busy watching the bees to watch her too carefully. Irina sighed as if trying to muster up the patience to deal with a confused, elderly person.

She crouched down closer to the other woman's level, knowing that getting on their eye level was an effective way to communicate respect to small children, and wondering if the trick would translate without getting her hit in the face by any other weird things that might come out of the woman's mouth. "I need you to help me out here," she said, choosing phrasing that put them on the same team and show confidence in the other woman. "I can't hear anything. I need you to fill me in on what's going on. What's your plan here? I might be able to help, but I need you to work with me." As the youngest child in her family, Irina was decent at talking people into doing what she wanted. Although she didn't figure it would work in this case, she still found trying to coax the apparently unstable person into working together a more palatable option than trying to physically take her out.
