Equal Opportunity Instigator

[Kitai Yoru]

Thread Title: Kitai invades the hollows
Participants: Kitai Yoru, and any espada who thinks they can fight Kitai
World: Hueco Mundo
Death Setting: Permanent Injuries Enabled
Rating: R
Location: Why, the massive eyesore that's visible for miles, and is roughly the size of California, allegedly. Las Noches, of course! the exact location will vary, depending on where he is stopped
Special Conditions: This, is a gauntlet. Kitai is the challenger. One on one fights until Kitai reaches the big man, Sonken 'sits on a big throne' Kouhai. Each player has a week to post, or they're out. Kitai gets victory TP from each person beaten. If no one stops him after a week, he finds and steals one of the Artifacts housed in LN.
Circumstances: "Oh yeah, good old Las Nacho land! Home of the hollows! Filled to the brim like a piñata filled with magic crap! And I'm gonna take it all, if no one is here to stop me!~"

[Kitai Yoru]

It was a perfectly normal day in the dusty plains of of Hueco Mundo. Or, night he supposed. The sky is really empty. Like, there's just one moon up there. "Where the fuck are the stars?" Kitai says, leaning over the dashboard, glaring up at the sky. Nope, nothing up there. Kitai slumped back into his seat, slapping his steering wheel around. "This place could have had the best picnics at night! Like, come on! How the fu-oh I'm here!" Kitai's mood shifted back and fourth faster than the vehicle he was driving. Jumping to his feet, Kitai pulls out a doorknob from his jacket, presses it against the nearest wall, and with a twist of the knob, he pulls it open and walks through.

---

Off in the distance, a plane crashes against the canopy of Las Noches. The explosion was massive, and the Lunatic could hear the detonation from miles away. Kitai, meanwhile, was strolling through the massive doors of Las Noches, as per the ability of the Interdimensional Doorknob. He popped out of his Gigai to put it back on to his real body, pulling out his SUPER. Back in his Gigai, he slides the gauntlet onto his right arm. As the madman strolled into whatever constituted as a foyer for this place. A Black Fog started to pour out of his chest, as his left hand conquered up a marble of reiatsu, before dropping it into a hellish portal.

"Oh Akki-rejects~! Come out to pla~ay!" Kitai calls out to the unfathomably large corridors of this accursed place. "Oh gosh, it reeks of blood and depression. Don't you lot have janitors or something?" A pondering look came across his face. "Would the be ghost janitors at that point? Would they develop hollow powers to fight the shinigami filth!" He monologs to himself, imagining broom hollows with washing and drying powers destroying shinigami-shaped specks of dirt and sand. All the while, Kitai is using his 'Kitai brand X-Ray Contacts™' to look for anything interesting.

He could see through anything, up to seven hundred meters in any direction, but his senses didn't allow him to get a good view of anything past a hundred. Which was a shame, but at least it game him some direction. Like how straight forward would eventually lead him to another massive friggin desert. Seriously, you'd think if you got sick enough to make a desert, you'd just go outside to that one! "Okay, how 'bout a joke? What did the Saika say to the Arrancar?" He waited a moment. "YOU'RE A BITCH! HAHAHAHAHA!" He screamed out, creating massive bolded letters of his punchline. Twenty feet in height , the phrase 'YOU'RE A BITCH' flew by at a leisurely speed of 300.

{Techniques Uses}New Powers: [Dark Skill Level 1 Property:] [The first stage of his release allows him to create gigai-like bodies for him to enter and use as he sees fit. In order to create a body, Kitai must spend 25% of his current reiatsu, but must spend at least 250 in order to use the technique. The strength and durability of the bodies is based off the amount of reiatsu Kitai has used during the thread. For every 100 reiatsu Kitai has used in the thread, it will increase the strength, speed, and durability by 10. Each body comes with a 300 to start in all three of these stats. If the user has physical stats higher than the base 300, their starting physical stat or stats will be changed to that higher number. The highest the physical stats the body can have 1000.

The strength of the body is a sort of false one. While the bodies themselves are strong, it is merely a tool, not truly living so to speak. While a real body would be able to handle such strength and speed, this one cannot. And like all tools, they have a breaking point. Those wearing the body will find themselves unable to use main benefits that high physical stats would normally grant. The benefits of having high strength are forever lost to the user, unless they already had them before putting on the Gigai.

Much like a tool, once the body uses too much power, it begins to quickly wear out. The max output a body can use varies on the user. The bodies are based on the user, and thus match their max potential, even if the bodies themselves should be stronger. A user with 50 strength or speed, can only ever make the bodies reach 150 strength or speed. If someone had 400 in strength or speed, they would be able to bring out the full potential of the bodies, and reach 1000 in either stat.

However, like any machine, running at full power causes a reaction in the bodies. The body, and by extension the user, have no issues with stamina of any kind after this point, never running out after it breaks its limits for the first five post, using a sort of Hysterical Strength to force itself to keep going. After the five posts will drain stamina like normal. Normally a body can last indefinitely, but for every post the user pushes their physical stats past their limits no further than double their base stats, it drains a post, while over that pushes it by two posts. The body has ten of these posts before it dies, ejecting the user of it from the maimed corpse. Hitting 1000 in either stat will cost the bodies two posts, regardless of the the user's base stats.

The creation of the body is instant, forming around Kitai if he so chooses, or in his hand. Bodies can be exited at any time the wearer pleases. The only oddities that make the body stand out from normal humans is that the first stage of a Dark Skill will still shine through, and the chains on their soul will still appear on the new body, but otherwise, the body will be have an appearance of whatever Kitai wishes it to look like. Size of the bodies follows the strength rules for sizes.

So long as the body is worn, Hell has a much harder time finding him. For every three posts that a Saika is in the body, the count on the duration of his escape will go down by one for every three posts they make. Can start a thread with a body for an additional 500 reiatsu of the base cost, without activating his dark skill. Any damage the body takes is not fully transferred to him. Damage is reduced by fifty percent, and attacks that would kill the body will eject the soul before it can be damaged too much. Fatal damage done to the body will be reduced to the point of just barely avoiding death. The body cannot heal via the normal Saika regeneration, but his soul underneath is still able to. The healing done to the soul will not transfer to the body. Once he exits a body, the stats will be reset to how it was before he entered the body. After a body is destroyed or dies, it goes onto a three post cooldown before he can create another one. This does not count as a stat boosting technique. If a body is healed, Kitai will not be healed.

Technique Name: [The Black Fog] Mastered

Class: [1]

Technique Type: [Hell Techniques]

Usable By: [Hell Races]

Technique Element: [Shadow]

Technique Fluff: [Those who fear the darkness are wise. Evil in its most primal form thrives in the shadows, always on the edge of the light. But while it is rare when the shadows of the underworld touch the land of the living, the results are always spoken of for generations. The Black Fog is an ability generated by those who have seen the proverbial void, and gazed into it. These people are those with hearts blacker than most, and live in perpetual chaos, misery, and hate. Those who use this technique are often those who have given up on life, and have let themselves fall into despair, or have done so at least once in their existence. This ability was made to show that, no matter how much hope there is the world, and no matter how happy the world becomes, evil will never leave the hearts of mankind, and will always linger. The darkest shadows linger behind the brightest lights.

The Black Fog is generated from the soul of the user, spilling from their chests, completely enshrouding their lower bodies in a mist of darkness at all times. From there, the fog begins to spread over the ground, seemingly consuming it, with the top of it lingering three feet above it. The Black Fog is thick to the point where no light can ever pierce it, consuming it in its entirety. The mist does more than feed off the light however. The shadows absorb all forms of energy that come into contact with it, be it heat, light, or reiatsu. Especially reiatsu.

The air above the fog is quickly drained of any lingering reiatsu, preventing anyone from creating airground platforms of any kind, as well as preventing any stepping abilities. However, those who stand in the blackened air start to suffer from the effects of this immediately. The moment anyone comes into contact with it will quickly lose their power, before fading away beneath the darkness, never to be seen again.

But this isn't what makes this ability so feared, although that is a part of it. The darkness is a sponge for souls, but it doesn't let that energy go to waste. Once it has absorbed enough souls, this ability starts to create monsters. Often titanic beings of pure hate and rage emerge from the shadows, climbing out of the nothing, existing for only destruction. The monsters can take on many forms, ranging from ogers, wolves, or even the well known dragon. These creatures stand anywhere from seven feet in height, to a towering fifty.

The being are extremely durable as well, needing the strongest of champions to slay them. The Black Fog naturally doesn't harm them, and are immune to the effects of it. No matter their shape, these creatures are only as smart as an animal, beatial in thought, maybe as smart as a lion.

All the air above the mist is stripped of reiatsu, no matter the distance. Any ability that touches the fog is absorbed, so long as the offensive stat is lower than the user's, adding the reiatsu used for the ability to the reiatsu counter.]


Technique Effects:

A Black mist spills out of the user's chest, quickly covering the ground around them, hovering two feet off the lowest surface. The Mist spreads five feet per post, times how many posts it has been active. 1 post equals five feet, 2 is ten, 3 fifteen, and so on. The air above the Black Fog cannot be used for any form of airground above it. Anyone in the fog loses 250 reiatsu per post, and loses the same amount just by touching it. Non- spiritual humans, plants, and animals die instantly when they come into contact with the fog.

Any techs used while inside the fog will charge the fog by half the amount paid for the original tech. Once the fog has collected 500 reiatsu, the user can summon a creature of the writer's choice to attack or cause general chaos. The user is also able to wait, and have the fog store its reiatsu in order to summon multiple beasts at once. The creature does not obey the caster, nor is it affected by the draining effects of the fog.

The stats of the creatures are always 800 strength, 400 speed, and 150 in all sensory stats, with 800 durability. The user is able to pay 500 in order to charge the mist. The Cost to maintain is 100 reiatsu, and is used to charge the fog. Fog lasts three posts after the user stops paying for it, and is unable to summon beasts after they stop.

How to use technique: [Mentioned above]

Technique Drawbacks: [The Black Fog, cannot be thrown around like a weapon, and will only remain on the ground, and around the user's lower body. Kicking with the fog around their legs will not drain opponents of reiatsu. The user is not immune to the draining effects of the fog, and is drained every post. Monsters will not obey anything the caster of the Fog commands of them.]

Technique Name: [Faustian Bargain] Learned

Class: [1]

Technique Type: [Saika Technique]

Usable By: [Saika]

Technique Element: [Reiatsu, if any]

Technique Description and Effects: [The Faustian Bargain is a technique born out of desperation for the Saika. The user pays any amount of reiatsu they wish, concentrating it into a super dense ball of reiatsu. This ball is then sucked into a small portal to Hell to grow. For every post it is in Hell, the ball absorbs reiatsu, equal to 25% of what it was initially sent in with. At any point, the user can draw the ball out of Hell, and consume the reiatsu to add the reiatsu back to their reserves. For example, if the user were to send 1000 reiatsu into Hell, and waited four posts, it would come back with 2000, and they would gain that to their reiatsu pool.]

How to use technique: [Stated above.]

Technique Drawbacks: [This ability is directly messing with Hell, a very bad thing for any Saika. As such, for every post that the ball of Reiatsu is in Hell, the Saika loses an extra post out of Hell. This means if the ball was in Hell for four posts, they would lose four extra posts, on top of their normal out of Hell count.]

Technique Name: [outlandish Insult]

Class: [7]

Technique Type : [General energy tech]

Usable By : [All]

Technique Element: [Various]

Technique Description and Effects [: [ Outlandish Insult is a rather simple yet down right silly technique that even the most useless spiritually aware person could use. By infusing your reiatsu into your vocal cords you scream out an insult towards a person. As you do so the reiatsu mixes with the sound waves forming solid text of the words that were said. If the insult in question has an elemental word in it the text changes to that element. The words are comically big like those you would find in comic books(Think 50's and 60's batman sound effects) and move at a speed of 300. ]

How to use technique (How is it activated?): By infusing your vocal cords with reiatsu and screaming out the insult

Technique Drawbacks
All insults have to make sense, adding in random words to an insult to try and generate elemental effects won't work.

As the words "YOU'RE A BITCH!" echoed through the halls of Las Noches, firing off like some kind of cartoon cannon, a chuckle that would likely end up familiar to the Saika in question similarly began to reverberate through the halls of the Arrancar-infested castle. From a nearby shadow, somewhat close by to where the words found themselves in the air, jet-black chains rattled and fired themselves outward, traveling at twice the speed of the words. With a simple smack from these chains, the words were sent flying straight upward into the high ceiling of Las Noches' many corridors.

Stepping out from the shadows with a chuckle and the sound of a cane tapping against the ground, a certain Akki found themselves with a smile on their face, turning directly toward Kitai, though standing a solid fifty or so feet away from the man, their arms now crossed. "Well, well, well," they spoke, thrill over the current predicament practically emanating from them, "I've got to say, Kitai, it's quite interesting to see you here. Especially given your... hostile intentions? While I can't say I fault you, I can say that this is as far as you go. I'm not letting any harm befall Ailene, or any other Arrancar around these halls. Hell has it's hold on this place; given your denial of allegiance with us, I'm afraid you're no more than an enemy."

Running through everything they'd known of Kitai's abilities through their head once more, Orobas felt confident in their ability to come through with this fate-imposed rematch. Seems that their consistent visiting of Ailene in order to discuss business, or even simply just sit down for a cup of tea every now and then paid off in a very big way. They'd have to thank her for that later. Cracking their neck, and tapping their cane against the ground, insects dispersed from the physical form that seemed to be holding the cane together, scattering across Las Noches. Those particular insects weren't going to be joining them for this fight.

Flaring up their reishi around the area, Orobas chuckled once more. "Saisei Oni: Primera Etapa." As they finished speaking, and a burst of energy reverberated through the halls, ever-so-slightly shaking the infrastructure of the building, Orobas took a deep breath. As they exhaled, a number of insects began to find themselves leaving every open place that they had on their suit, save for their neck; from their sleeves and pantlegs, hundreds of mosquitoes quickly found themselves out and about, making their presence very clear in front of the Saika, and hovering with a buzz around the Akki.

"I've changed quite a bit since our last encounter, Kitai; took up an apprenticeship underneath a very particular, very famous demon down in Hell. I hope you enjoy what you're about to see~"

{Overall Ability}
Rotting. Orobas' own Aspect of Hell, and the key defining theme beyond their powers. When rotting in regards to the decomposition of humans is brought up, quite a few people generally think one one thing that can always be found in the general vicinity of the body; insects. Whether it be flies, ants, mosquitoes, or something else, insects are generally always circling. Orobas' powers work to play up that concept. As such, their abilities revolve around the weaponization and use of various different species of insects in order to combat against foes that would otherwise seek to harm them, leading those very foes to a demise that Orobas knows all too well.

Upon entering any stage of release, Orobas is granted the option to choose a specific species of insect to begin the breeding process for, courtesy of their Primera Etapa Body Technique. More information on that process is listed below, in the technique itself. Their Overall Ability, however, functions off of the basic weaponization of these insects, giving Orobas a "basic attack" of sorts in order to make use of to allow their insects to fight for them. At any given time, Orobas has the option to begin to release a swarm of insects from their body. Each individual insect costs 1 point of reiatsu to release, and each swarm possesses a rather simple to calculate stat block based on the reiatsu spent in order to create the swarm.

Each swarm created has an Offensive Stat that functions off of the amount of reiatsu placed into the swarm; if Orobas decides to spend 1,000 Reiatsu in order to create a swarm of insects, that given swarm has an Offensive Stat of 1,000. Additionally, each insect summoned has a Durability of 1. Should so much as one point of OS-based damage be dealt to these insects, they will quickly crumble and die. As such, the Offensive Stat of a swarm is only as strong as the number of insects in said swarm; if someone killed 400 out of 500 insects in a swarm, only the 100 remaining would be able to strike, naturally reducing the Offensive Stat of the overall swarm down to a measly 100. Additionally, unless otherwise specified, this Offensive Stat is there only for the purposes of bypassing defensive techniques and other options that victims might have; a swarm of mosquitoes flying toward someone and biting them all over the place isn't going to cause very much pain, if really any at all given Pain Tolerance skills exist. Unless otherwise specified, these stings and bites serve no majorly-offensive purpose. The speed of a swarm is directly tied to Orobas' own speed, seeing as the insects are an extension of them. Each swarm can have a number of insects in it equal to Orobas' Offensive Stat x3, but after equaling their Offensive Stat, the cost per insect is instead doubled, and subsequently tripled after reaching an amount equal to double their Offensive Stat.

At any point, insects that are alive may make the choice to to assimilate with Orobas once more. When they make this choice, the reiatsu that had been spent (and any reiatsu stored within Mosquitoes), will be returned to Orobas. Seeing as their body is an insectile conduit for perpetual reiatsu, and insects are able to separately store their own Reiatsu, Orobas needs not worry about going over their own reiatsu pool, to an extent. These insects are able to individually store enough reiatsu to increase their pool by 50% of its normal maximum, and store reiatsu separately. While that might be the case, however, this extra reiatsu, upon being stored by insects, is automatically tainted, and can only be used for their release techniques and abilities. Orobas must still use their own reiatsu in order to make use of anything non-release. These insects will remain across Orobas’ body, and should Orobas be struck with attacks, these insects will naturally be killed. As they’re killed, Orobas could very well lose this excess Reiatsu. If Orobas were to run out of their own Reiatsu, they’ll still be taken out of the fight. This excess pool will immediately be lost. Any effects that would drain Reiatsu will target this excess pool first, removing this before actually taxing their own pool.

Each insect gives off its own minute reiatsu signature, completely identical to Orobas' in every way, shape, and form. In order to detect a singular insect, an Energy Sensory of 500 is needed. For every insect present in a swarm, this number is decreased by one. When these swarms start to reach numbers of 1,000 or greater, those actively trying to detect Orobas' reiatsu signature may find themselves in a difficult situation, and depending on the overall number of insects, this might potentially lead to sensory overload.

Each insect is apart of a larger hivemind, directly connected with Orobas. This means that these insects will listen to any mental order given to them without fail, and are immune to any sort of mind-control effects that may potentially be placed upon them. They have no sense of self-preservation, and will undoubtedly be willing to sacrifice themselves if it means keeping Orobas alive as long as possible. They're much more an extension of Orobas' own being, as opposed to their own individual forces looking to fight.

{Primera Etapa Body - The Great Hivelord}
Orobas' Primera Etapa is largely focused around laying the groundwork for every other stage they have access to. The Great Hivelord is no different. This technique servers as their main driving ability, allowing them to select the insects that can be rapidly bred and released from underneath their own skin. Upon entering Primera Etapa, or any other stage from their released state, Orobas is given the option to choose one of the insectile species they have access to breed for no reiatsu cost. From there, through making use of their Overall Ability, they can breed and release any number of these insects. At any point afterward, Orobas can elect to change the insects they're working with once per post, and for a cost of 100 reiatsu. After that, any and all insects (including those bred by other insects) will spawn as this newly-selected species.

Primera Etapa at its base form grants Orobas access to swarms of mosquitoes. These mosquitoes function much like one would normally expect mosquitoes to act, except for one major difference; instead of siphoning blood from their victims, these mosquitoes siphon reiatsu. Each individual mosquito is capable of holding one point of reiatsu, and will leech one point from their victims when struck. From there, these mosquitoes will hold onto these points of reiatsu until they take the time to assimilate with Orobas once again, at which point Orobas will have access to the stolen reiatsu, adding half to their own pool, and half to the Insectile Reiatsu pool. Until then, should these mosquitoes be destroyed before they can return, this reiatsu will then be lost to the void. Mosquito stings feel like nothing upon occurring, but two posts after these stings occur they'll leave their victims with an intense itching sensation upon every place they were bitten. Those without a Calm Mind, Strength of Will, or Battle Focus 1 will find themselves distracted by the itching sensation for one post after these bites, and will likely struggle to concentrate on the situation at hand. For every 1,000 mosquitoes biting them at the same time, this Calm Mind, Strength of Will, or Battle Focus requirement will be increased by 1, up to a maximum of 3 points.

Segunda Etapa grants Orobas access to swarms of hornets. These hornets spawned and produced by Orobas are incredibly hyper-aggressive, and will generally make use of such patterns when engaging someone in combat. These stings are incredibly painful, and rightfully so as these reiatsu-modified hornets are capable of leaving behind a spiritual toxin with each sting. Instead of only costing 1 point of reiatsu per insect, these hornets instead cost 2 in order to account for their poison. Upon stinging their victims, these hornets will leave behind that one point of reiatsu in their victim in order to propel this poison through their body and soul. While these victims are given the reiatsu as an added benefit, and can be pushed beyond their normal maximum, this does not come without drawbacks. These victims are inflicted with a sensory-hindering venom that will progressively grow worse as more exposure is forced. Upon taking in so much as 100 points of reiatsu from these insects, victims will immediately begin to feel the effects of this toxin. Their mind will begin to numb, and their vision will begin to double, with all of this resisted with Poison Resist 1. At 500 reiatsu, this poison will worsen, with the victims' visions beginning to spin and induce severe nausea. These headaches will worsen, and grow to be a splitting annoyance for those afflicted, with all of this resisted with a Poison Resist 2. At 1,000 reiatsu, this poison will continue to increase in severity to rather noteworthy extents, and blood vessels beneath the skin will begin to rupture. Naturally, blood will slowly begin to pool up and will be intensely painful. The pain can be resisted with Pain Tolerance 3, and the actual effects can be resisted with Poison Resist 3. At 2,000 reiatsu, the victims in question will find themselves going through sheer and utter hell. They'll begin to very quickly bleed from every orifice on their body, until eventual death due to severe blood loss one post later. Pain Tolerance 4 can help to fight through this pain, but no amount of Poison Resist will save the victim at this point. Should someone take 2,000 reiatsu (or any increment above for that matter), it will start with the first 500 reiatsu increment, and take two posts to advance to the next stage; this does not immediately start someone at the worst stage if they take on this much reiatsu. Those with High-Speed Regeneration, or some equivalent thereof will be treated as though they have a free 2 points in Poison Resist.

Tercera Etapa grants Orobas access to swarms of stag beetles. These beetles are renowned for their physical ability, as opposed to their spiritual inclinations. As such, these insects are unnaturally durable, possessing a durability of 2 instead of a durability of 1 per insect.

Cuarta Etapa grants Orobas access to swarms of botflies. Being Orobas' primary stage of release (aside from rare occasions that require use of Quinta Etapa), these botflies serve as a breeding tool for other insects of theirs. These botflies are capable of laying their eggs in any spiritually inclined surface; not just flesh. Upon doing so, over the course of three posts, these eggs will hatch, and the larvae of whichever currently-breeding insect Orobas has selected will spawn. These insects can be assimilated just as easily as others, should Orobas desire to do so, serving as not only a strong proliferation tool, but a just as potent reiatsu-recovery option. Each individual botfly is able to produce a singular egg, and a singular insect can hatch from said egg. Should they be assimilated, Orobas will only regain 1 point of reiatsu for every two of these botfly-spawned insects. By spending 2 Reiatsu per egg, those afflicted can force these eggs to burst early, instantly killing the insects in question.

Quinta Etapa grants Orobas access to Cicadas. Instead of acting as normal Cicadas, though, due to being Quinta Etapa and the peak of Orobas' powers, the abilities associated with these Cicadas are largely rooted in mythological backgrounds. For starters, Cicadas stand for rebirth and resurrection in multiple mythologies. As such, Orobas' Cicadas possess the innate ability to heal. While resting on a target, these cicadas will do what they can to heal wounds. After each individual cicada lands on their target, those targets will feel a soft buzzing on their body as their wounds are slowly regenerated. One cicada won't be able to do much, but in swarms, this healing process can be finished rather quickly. 100 cicadas will be able to heal minor wounds like cuts and scrapes in one post, larger cuts, burns, and hairline fractures in five posts, and severe wounds like broken limbs in ten posts. Critical wounds like organ damage cannot be healed with only 100 cicadas. 500 cicadas can heal minor wounds in one post, larger wounds in three posts, severe wounds in five posts, and Critical wounds in seven posts. 1000 cicadas can heal minor wounds instantly, larger wounds in two posts, severe wounds in three posts, and critical wounds in four posts. 1500 cicadas can heal large wounds instantly, severe wounds in one post, and critical wounds in two posts. 2000+ cicadas can heal severe wounds instantly, and critical wounds in one post.

[Kitai Yoru]

Kitai cupped his hand to his ear, listening closely to see if there was a response to his little invitation. After several agonizing moments that felt like days, he heard a crash, along with a myriad of popping, presumably from his Insult being destroyed. Kitai couldn't help but chuckle to himself at the thought of an Arrancar attacking the floating words. He didn't have to wait long, as tapping of a cane could be heard from down the corridor. A finely dressed woman with hair as white as his own seemed to manifest from the shadows to greet him.

He had to applaud her for her entrance, not many went with the classic triple 'Well' anymore. She clearly had good taste in the dramatic. Also that hat. The arrancar here were fun, though something about this lady was... off, though Kitai couldn't quite place his finger on just what that was yet. Maybe it was the fact she knew his name before he introduced himself? Impossible! He never did anything overly dramatic enough to get his reputation to proceed him. Other than kill a Quincy. Followed by a second Quincy. And the time he invaded the Shinigami. Both times he invaded the Shinigami. Okay, maybe he got around.

But still, she was acting like they met before, and that was impossible. He would remember someone with a hat that cool. Kitai was rubbing his chin, clearly trying to remember where he had seen this chick before. She keeps bringing up Hell, so that's definitely not a good thing. Then she said words he really wished she hadn't said. "Saisei Oni: Primera Etapa." Kitai's eyes bulged out of his head, knowing exactly what they meant. Using his X-Ray Contacts, he tried to see if it wasn't some trick. Sure enough, under her skin was a mass of bugs, and the face of a familiar enemy.

"Why in the Fuck are the Akki here!? All I see is mine to claim!" The Lunatic stated, before using his mark of sin to steal her hat. If Orobas did not resist the technique, she would see her hat now on top of Kitai's head, overtop his own hat. If she decided to resist, Kitai would only be more annoyed. He let Orobas finish their piece, before piping up. "If you're trying to say you're picking up tips from Beelzebub, I'm not buying that crock of shit you're probably buzzing around, You Flaming Fuck!" Kitai said, hand cupped around his mouth, as the words were created, flying at Orobas and her swarm.

The words were launched lengthwise, with the message visible from end to end, with each letter being at least twenty feet in height. Also they were on fire. As the lettering got ever closer, within twenty feet, a chain would spear itself through the 'i', directly at the Akki. Kitai was hanging on the back of the letter, using it as a distraction. With the speed of the Insult, the speed of the chains, and the Grasp of the Dead growing out of the end of the chain, he was hoping the attack would land. He hadn't forgotten just how frustrating this akki could be, but he also didn't know anything about these bugs she was creating. He had to play it relatively save for the moment.

{Techs Used}Technique Name: [Grasp of the Dead] Learned

Class: [2]

Technique Type: [General Sinner Technique]

Usable By: [Hell Races]

Technique Element: [Fire]

Technique Description and Effects:[This is a very tricky ability for Hell users to first pickup, but absolutely invaluable once they've gotten the hang of it. By manipulating their chains, the users of this ability are able to channel heat and flames through the blackened bindings tethering them to Hell, creating a long arm of energy. The construct is an extension of the user in almost every way, being as dexterous as its creator. The Hands are spiritual in nature, and scale off of the user's highest spiritual stat. For every 50 in either rs or sprp, the hands can extend one foot. Hands move at a speed of 600, or equal to the user, whichever is faster. Hands have a piercing power equal to the spiritual stat of the user, and burn away anything with less than half of the users spiritual stat, destroying anything it touches. Cost, 100 reiatsu per post. Each level of mastery grants the user an additional pair of arms, up to three pairs.]

How to use technique: [Stated above.]

Technique Drawbacks: [User must have at least a 2 in pain resistance, or similar Skills in order to use this ability.]

Technique Name: [Bladed Chains] Learned

Class: [3]

Technique Type: [General Sinner Technique]

Usable By: [Hell Races]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects: [Well, if you can't get rid of the nigh indestructible chains, why not put them to good use? This ability have two parts to it.

1: The chains of Hell torment the denizens endlessly, so why not share the misery? Learning this ability influences the blades, giving them the ability to cut through anything as easily as a normal spiritual blade can, regardless of the chains not changing in appearance, still as rounded as ever. The offensive stat for the chains is based off either the highest Spiritual stat, or the user's Strength stat, whichever is higher. Chains are unable to cut their owner. This is a passive ability, and is unable to be turned off.

2: Through some heavy handed use of reiatsu, the user can extend and manipulate the chains to do as they please. For strength users, the chains will extend upto thirty feet, and will move at either a speed equal to their speed stat, or at a speed of 600. For spiritual users, the size scales off of their highest spiritual stat. For every 50 they have in their higher stat, the chains can extend another foot, and can move at either 600, or the user's speed. Cost is 100 reiatsu every post.]

How to use technique: [Pay the cost for chains. Cutting power is permanently active]

Technique Drawbacks: [Cost.]

Noticing as their hat seemed to just "blink" off of their head, and instantaneously appear atop Kitai's, Orobas smiled. "Sorry, Kitai, but I'm afraid that hat's not for you." With a snap of their fingers, the hat that was placed atop the Saika's head split off into hundreds- likely thousands of butterflies, each of which made their way across the air, dispersing without causing harm to anyone in the area. Just as quickly as the hat had made its appearance near Kitai, it was gone, dispersing into a mass of harmless insects. Smiling to themselves, Orobas began to proliferate and congregate their mosquitoes around their arms and legs, forming a pair of insectile gauntlets around their arms, and insectile greaves around their legs. Giving off a perpetual buzzing, Orobas assumed a fighting stance as the Saika's fiery words seemed to fly toward them at racecar speed.

A split second before those damned chains came in contact with the Akki, though, they simply blinked out of existence, forcing an eclipsing darkness to surround the eyes of any and all that might've seen the Akki. From there, reappearing with a speed of 6,000, Orobas positioned themselves in the air, both above and in front of the Saika. Through their analytical skills and assessing the area in front of them, Orobas positioned themselves just far enough ahead of Kitai to account for their own shift in momentum, Kitai's 300-speed movement through the air, and the time it'd take for their own mosquito-laced fist to arrive upon the Saika's face.

Assuming everything went according to plan, Orobas was going to follow through with said punch, looking to smash Kitai's face into the pristine floors of Las Noches with enough spiritually-enhanced power to crack the ground beneath them. Even if the Akki wasn't successful, though, they'd take the time to blink from existence once more, causing that same all-encompassing darkness to follow, and positioned themselves back by the grand doors to Las Noches' entrance. "I'm interested to see how you've improved since our last encounter, Saika," Orobas spat, "I know damn well that that I have. And I know just as well that your tricks with those chains of yours aren't going to work this time around like they did last time. I know better than to give you that quarter now."

Much as they had spoken, Orobas knew better than to get too close to Kitai. After their last fight, and giving it an immense amount of thought after the fact, Orobas had learned damn well that Kitai seemed to utilize his chains quite a bit in a fight. So much so that they were a big part of his combative abilities, and general fighting style. Having made a mental note of his shenanigans in their last encounter, Orobas was going to need to take the time to devise a plan on what to do in order to deal with this Saika. It seemed that in the heat of a fight, he was rather... difficult, to predict. Outside of a fight, however, hindsight found itself to be 20/20.

{Primera Weapon - Strength of the Swarm}
Strength of the Swarm is Orobas' Primera Etapa Weapon Technique. What this technique does is serve as something similar to a personally-modified version of Combat Cutback, allowing Orobas to make use of their own insects in order to augment their own melee strikes. While this technique has no cost individually, spawning insects does have a cost, per their Overall Ability. This technique serves as a way to shape these insects into a specifically-defensive option. By creating a swarm, Orobas can then will those swarms to congregate around their arms and legs, allowing for their punches and kicks to take on an additional effect based on the insects in question. Each effect is granted based on the number of insects in these swarms, so mixing and matching insects for these four swarms for each limb is encouraged. Naturally these insects don't serve as defensive barriers, and will not protect Orobas at all unless otherwise specified.

Utilizing mosquitoes from Primera Etapa, Orobas is able to inflict melee attacks that are parasitic in nature. For every mosquito present in the swarm at the time, Orobas is able to make use of the reiatsu-leeching option that these mosquitoes have in order to keep their reiatsu pool relatively topped up.

Utilizing hornets from Segunda Etapa, Orobas is able to allow these hornets to sting their victims alongside Orobas' strikes, inflicting a hornet's venomous abilities with each strike.

Utilizing stag beetles from Tercera Etapa, Orobas is able to make use of the physical nature of these insects to aid them in penetrating through most that would desire to contest with them. For the purposes of breaking through items, release weapons, or defensive techniques only, these stag beetles are able to treat their Offensive Stat as 50% greater. Damage dealt from these beetles is still treated as normal, though.

Utilizing botflies from Cuarta Etapa, Orobas is able to instantly implant botfly eggs into the areas struck equal to the number of botflies currently in the swarm at the time.

Utilizing cicadas from Quinta Etapa, Orobas is able to quickly apply burst healing to those struck. Any instantaneous healing effects will be applied based on the number of cicadas currently swarming around Orobas' limbs, but the others will not be applied. This means that any healing that would be instantaneous will be applied, but those that take a full post or more will not. Only one of these heals can be done per post, and costs 100 Reiatsu.

{Voice of the Underworld (Cinematic) - Mastered}Technique Name: Voice of the Underworld [Cinematic Technique]

Class: 2

Technique Type: General Sinner.

Usable By: All Sinners.

Technique Element: Varies.

Technique Description and Effects: Much like that of the Sinner's Cross, Voice of the Underworld is a technique learnable by all Sinners that grants them supreme mastery over their own Aspect of Hell. By learning this technique, Sinners become "Speakers" of their Aspect of Hell. Speakers of an Aspect are those that take mastery of their Aspect to an extreme; embracing their sin, and being able to impose minute effects out onto the world because of it. Namely, this technique allows for controlled manipulation of their Aspect of Hell in a non-combative way. Those with the Aspect of Hell of Burning will be able to do things like constantly generate light, stay warm in natural cold, and at Mastered, potentially even make various firework-esque pyrotechnic effects. Every version of Voice of the Underworld must be approved separately, as each version is inherently unique to the Speaker themselves.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Orobas' Voice}Becoming a Speaker of Rot, Orobas has since gained a heightened level of communication and a natural calling for the insectile world at large. With this technique, should they desire, Orobas can release small amounts of insects as they wish, and telepathically commune with insects that aren't spawned by them. Through this, they can gain a rather noteworthy amount of insight, or learn about a specific situation when need be.

Learned: At Learned, Orobas is only able to control a rather minuscule handful of insects, and for very simple tasks. Predominantly, this is limited to flies and other similar flying insects, and can generally only use these insects for basic reconnaissance. It's not going to be much of anything impressive at all, but does serve as a fairly unique way to gather information when necessary. These flies, unlike their release, generally aren't able to group up in large quantities, and will generally stick in groups of two to five maximum. Should they desire, a small group of flies will perpetually follow around Orobas at any given time.

Mastered: At Mastered, Orobas possesses a nigh-limitless control over the insectile world at large. Any insect or arachnid are generally going to be able to communicate with the Akki, and Orobas will easily be able to understand their every thought; should those insects be a species that function off of a hivemind of sorts, Orobas will be able to tap into this collective unconscious and quickly unravel just how this hive works, and every driving force behind the hive's success. Through this technique, Orobas possesses the option to control small swarms of any insect that they should want; no more than roughly five hundred insects can be in a given swarm, though, and unlike in their release, these insects must be naturally occurring. They cannot outright spawn these into the world. On a whim, Orobas can deconstruct their own body into flies in order to move around, taunt others, etc., but this is purely cinematic as these insects will instead function as an extension of Orobas; they'll travel at his speed, keep the same general shape of their body, etc, and Orobas will still suffer damage as normal while this is occurring. These insects are able to be created from scratch, but will retake Orobas' form upon moving back to their body.

How to use technique: Written above.

Technique Drawbacks: While able to have a plethora of uses out of combat, this technique is incapable of having any combative uses whatsoever.

[Kitai Yoru]

There was a rule that Kitai always followed when someone decided to pull a vanishing act, whether that be via a movement technique, like what the shinigami like to do, or the straight up teleportation that Orobas had; and that rule was to move. It didn't matter where, so long as you weren't in the same place you were previously. So, when the Grasping hand at the end of his Bladed Chains found purchase in the tiled floor, he let it yank him down and forward out of reflex, at speeds twice as fast as his Insult, tearing through the massive 'i' as he did so.

Kitai's bony ass impacted against the tiles with a 'thwack', as he crossed his legs, using the Grasping hand to slide himself down the corridor, spinning himself around to face the opposite direction. From how it looked to him, Orobas tried to punch him in the head with a bug fist. That was... an extreme deviation from how they were fighting last time. The Akki had launched so many of those black boxes at him, he had been seeing them in his sleep for a week. It seems they may have taken his advice to heart.

As Kitai slid back, he realized he was traveling further and faster than he had expected. "Hey, wait, this floor is too slipper-yyyeeeeeaaaah!" Kitai slipped, falling onto his back into the Black Mist, momentarily covering his form. As Kitai vanished, nearly a dozen low rumbling voices could be heard from the mist. Giant pillaring arms shot up from the fog, slamming into the floor with a thud that shuddered the walls and ceiling. Eight copies of Bugs Bunny emerged from the mist, all in varying states of mutation, as if each of them had been 'cronenberged'.

With a thundering "Ehh, what's up, Doc?" They rushed at the mistress of mosquitos at a speed of 400. Kitai, meanwhile, was back to sitting and observing, pulling out the orb of reiatsu from a small Hell portal, and quickly consuming it. He groaned in delight, as his reiatsu reserves peaked and topped themselves off. Kitai was actually coughing up some reiatsu for once, red wisps of energy floating out of his mouth. He quickly formed another one, albeit with less reiatsu than the first, dropping the Faustian Bargain back into the still open portal. It snap shut, nearly taking his hand off.

The Lunatic watched the deformed cartoon icons rampage at the little miss Orobas thanks to his contacts. Being able to see through just about anything was such a delight, especially his own distractions. He had truly missed these things. Still, he needed to focus. Orobas had nearly killed Kitai last time, and their fight ended in a draw by the most narrow of margins. If he didn't want to lose his head, he would have to keep it in the game. For the most part, anyway. It wasn't healthy to be too serious. He wondered, would he have to use Gluttony? He'd rather not if he could help it, but if it goes anything like last time, it might be unavoidable.

Watching as the Saika allowed himself to quickly drop to the ground in order to evade their own strike, Orobas allowed themselves to follow through with their teleport, appearing once more on the other side of the room to face the Saika, and still speaking their mind on the situation. Though, they couldn't help but chuckle watching the Saika wipe out as hard as he seemed to be doing on the ground. If nothing else, Kitai certainly worked to provide an interesting fight where he could; that much, they were grateful for. Taking up another fighting stance, they narrowed their eyes.

Watching Kitai slip, and simultaneously disappear from sight, Orobas let out a deep sigh as absolutely massive summons began to emerge from the woodworks from the looks of it. They'd remembered these summons quite vividly, and truth be told, they weren't fond of them very much at all. They had to deal with them briefly during their time back in hell with the Saika, and weren't exactly wanting to deal with that bullshit right now. If they could help it, this was going to be relatively quick, and generally painless. Well, aside from the giant talking rabbits that the Saika was in the process of spawning.

"Seems we're kicking this up a notch, eh? Saisei Oni: Segunda Etapa." With a booming of reiatsu that once again shook the foundation of the castle the two found themselves in, Orobas took a singular step back, and then immediately found themselves in a different spot in the air, teleporting nigh-instantaneously with a flash of darkness like that of a blink. Appearing directly in front of one of these giant rabbits' faces, the Akki pulled an arm back, and promptly slammed into the beast's skull as hard as they could physically manage; on their own, this was very little. When matched with insects, however? This punch worked wonders.

Falling to the ground after taking out the first, the Akki took a microsecond to condense their insects, by channeling reiatsu through them, these Mosquitoes launched themselves off at a speed of 500 in a straight line, piercing straight through the legs of one, two, three more of these rabbit summons. By the time these Mosquitoes were finished firing off through these rabbits, Orobas had forced them to fire once more from their location again, this time back toward the Akki, piercing through the remainder of these summons, and clearing up the battlefield once more.

All while those attacks were going on, Orobas was allowing for more insects to begin bringing themselves into the real world. This time, hornets began to find themselves seeping through Orobas' sleeves, congregating around their legs this time around. As their Mosquitoes returned to them, and began to intermingle with the swarm of hornets finding themselves around Orobas' legs, they once again took a short stance, and bolted through the air, though surprisingly not through a teleport, and just below their top speed with said teleport, sitting at 4,400 speed, directly toward the Saika.

As they closed distance, and alongside their blitzing-fast movement, Orobas threw out a kick at that exact same speed, aimed directly toward the Saika's gigai head, spinning themselves like some kid in a green jumpsuit in an attempt to treat the Saika's face like that of a bloodied soccer ball. Whether or not they hit was of no concern, as they continued to fly straight passed the Saika regardless. Though, if they did manage to connect, Kitai was in for a rather nasty surprise with all of those Hornet stings occurring as quickly as they were going to be able to, given how fast they were moving at the time.

Recentering themselves as they came to a halt, Orobas turned once again to face Kitai with a smirk on their face. Moving one leg behind them and holding a flat hand up in front of them like some sort of martial arts expert, they couldn't help but chuckle. Sure, they were starting to take the fight seriously, but more importantly, they were having fun with it! While Kitai getting into Las Noches was a... less than optimal end result, Orobas was still very much enjoying their skirmish with the Saika. If nothing else, he was an opponent that really got their adrenaline pumping.

{Segunda Weapon - Wilted Bolt}
Taking an offensive approach, Orobas is able to make use of a technique they like to call Wilted Bolt. This technique allows for a rather interesting array of options with their insects. By spending 100 Reiatsu to condense and quickly launch an increased swarm of insects, Orobas is able to fire a quick blast of insectile hell. Applying the same on-hit effects as those in Strength of the Swarm, Wilted Bolt acts as a strong ranged option for Orobas. Each Wilted Bolt travels at a speed of 500, and relies on the OS of the swarm dedicated for the casting of the technique. Every stage of release after Segunda, starting in Tercera and increasing up to Quinta, increases this speed up to 800 in Quinta Etapa. After this technique finishes, these insects are dispersed, but not slain; unless specifically killed, these insects can still be used with subsequent techniques and attacks. Cicada-based bolts can only be fired off once per post per person, and incur an additional 100 Reiatsu to fire.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Segunda Body - Insectoid Rush}
Segunda Etapa takes a step forward with more general-use techniques for Orobas to make use of, slightly augmenting depending on their own swarms. The first of these techniques is Insectoid Rush. This technique functions as a personal stepping technique, sacrificing a number of insects within a nearby swarm in order to propel themselves forward with relative ease. The number of insects that need to be sacrificed is dependent on the insects being sacrificed, as each one provides its own augments. Unlike some of Orobas' other techniques, the insects sacrificed for this technique need to all be the same species.

In Segunda Etapa, Orobas is able to sacrifice mosquitoes and hornets. 50 mosquitoes are required to be sacrificed to use a Mosquito Rush, and 200 hornets are required to be sacrificed to use a Hornet Rush. Mosquito Rush is rather basic, with no general benefits, and functions at x10 speed. Hornet Rush functions at x11 speed, and allows Orobas to make a strike at the time of the movement in the direction they're travelling, but this strike must be a melee strike.

In Tercera Etapa, Orobas can now sacrifice 150 Stag Beetles for a Stag Beetle Rush. Stag Beetle Rush functions at x10 speed, and protects Orobas for the duration of the travel from any melee attacks; should someone try to cut them off while stepping, Orobas will be able to truck through the effects, albeit suffering wounds after they come to a stop. For the duration of the step, though, they'll find themselves unharmed.

In Cuarta Etapa, Orobas can now sacrifice a number of Botflies for a Botfly Rush, with a minimum of 100. Botfly Rush functions at x12 speed, and allows Orobas to launch themselves through their foes. While these foes are unharmed, they're then implanted with an amount of botfly eggs equal to the number of botflies sacrificed.

In Quinta Etapa, Orobas can now sacrifice 400 Cicadas for a Cicada Rush. Cicada Rush functions off of x15 speed. Upon using Cicada Rush, Orobas is able to select another target for Cicada Rush to allow them to step at this speed as well.

[Kitai Yoru]

Kitai was many things, crazy being the most prevalent among them. What most people probably didn't think of him as, however, was attentive. Kitai was good at reading people, good at figuring out how people ticked. It was a game he played on people, seeing how quickly he could piss them off with as few words as possible. He considered himself pretty good at it. So, as Kitai watched Orobas vanish from sight again, he knew that the Akki liked to use high speed movement to fight. He also saw that they liked to get in close, given how they splattered the brains of the mutated cartoon character all over him with their fist.

They moved at a speed Kitai couldn't actually track, a speed he doubted anyone could truly track. They were faster than they had any right to be, and he didn't blame the rabbit creature for dying as fast as it did. They launched a swarm of insects through several more fog beasts as they slowly descended from their spot on high in the air. The buzzing from the insects and the roars from the beasts made a beautiful cacophony of violence, the likes of which only a battle between Hellions could stir up. The bodies of his beasts impacting against the ground were better than any drums of war.

Kitai knew he wouldn't be able to react to an attack moving that fast. Kitai broke the limits of his body, muscles swelling in size as his skin started to turn a light shade of pink. Kitai watched the bugs coating the legs of his adversary, and he could guess what would be coming next. "WRATH!" He let out in a bellowing roar, launching himself forward from his seated position in a surge of movement. He wasn't disappointed when Orobas appeared before him. As fast as lightning she was, slamming her foot into him faster than any attack he had ever encountered before.

He wanted to say that he was slammed back, punted away by the titanic strength she and her bugs displayed, but he couldn't. The attack clashed against the burning Wrath that his mark of sin was generating, and came up short. Time seemed to stand still for the two. The moment of impact stretched on for an eternity. And then the wasps began to burn. The limb and all the insects covering it fell into Kitai, burning into cinders and ash against him. Were Wrath any weaker of a technique, it would have stood no chance against the might of her strike, but Segunda was too weak a state to measure up against its fury.

It was very possible that the Akki would lose the entirety of the limb that struck Kitai from the clash alone, but Kitai would not be granting her any quarter, not in this state of mind. The Akki was in his Black Fog, and the air around them was its dominion. There was no airground for her to regain her footing. Kitai's face was in a hateful snarl, as he sunk his teeth into whatever remnants of her leg remained. It wasn't to use Gluttony, however. No, this was to keep her in place for just a moment.

The chains of the Saika swung up from below, just as his both hands attempted to grapple with the woman, in spite of this awkward angle. The chain was obviously the faster of the two, and would attempt to bisect the monster wearing the form of humanity. His ands, however, were likely a worse fate for Orobas. His left hand would burn through their body like his head was doing to their stump of a leg. The right hand would be an even worse fate for the Akki. On his hand was a gauntlet named 'The S.U.P.E.R.' The Lunatic had never found out what exactly the acronym stood for, but this item was as sadistic as they came.

The combination of the item's raw power, on top of the burning effect of his aura, the gauntlet would burry itself into the flesh of this overgrown insect. Orobas herself was a manifestation of her release, and thus would trigger the effects of The S.U.P.E.R. If the attack didn't outright kill them, they would find themselves begin to itch. Then the pain would kick in. Her own powers would rebel against her, as the immunity she once had against her abilities would be nullified and vanish. Kitai didn't know whether that would kill them outright, but he was in no state of mind to worry about that right now. All he wanted to do now was make Orobas hurt.

{Techs Used}Technique Name: [Mark of Sin: Wrath] Mastered

Class: [2]

Technique Type: [General Sinner techniques]

Usable By: [Hell Races]

Technique Element: [Physical]

Technique Description and Effects: [Being stuck in the bad end of the afterlife tends to bring out of some of the more negative aspects of the soul. One of seven that can be concentrated and brought forth in a physical form. This manifests as a mark on the body. For Wrath, this mark is branded on the inside of the right forearm. When activated, the user gives into their rage and anger, showing their hate for the world. Their bodies burn with a power they normally wouldn't be able to muster up. Anything that comes into contact with their bodies at this time will be damaged and burnt from the raw power they're letting off. Even brief interactions with the user in this state can melt skin. Lasts two posts.

Their body burns with the power of their original highest offensive stat, destroying anything with less than three quarters of it, and blocking anything above that. Attacks with a higher offensive stat will be undamaged.]

How to use technique: [User gives into their emotion, becoming the embodiment of Wrath, losing the ability to strategize. Costs 250 reiatsu.]

Technique Drawbacks: [The user must give into their emotion in order to use this ability, severely limiting their ability to think coherently, let alone form strategies. They can still use abilities, but not in any tactical way. After the ability ends, the user is left fatigued, their body not able to maintain full power afterward. Physicals are halved. Cooldown, 5 posts.]

Seeing the Saika ignite themselves long before they actually had the option to divert themselves from the incoming strike, Orobas cursed themselves silently as they went in for the attack against the Saika's skull. Like metal grinding against metal, Orobas' foot rest in the air, practically stuck against the Saika's head as they tried to press forward to lob off his head, but to no avail. Seemed this wasn't going to work. As their insects burned away, they'd felt Kitai biting down on their leg and let out a groan of pain. Seems like Kitai had some sort of other plan.

That plan, though, wasn't something they were going to let Kitai get away with. As soon as Kitai dug his teeth into their leg, Orobas immediately flared their reiatsu, and wordlessly burst forth into Quinta Etapa. With this explosion of reiatsu, Orobas found themselves coating their body with Cicadas leaving their sleeves, quickly finding themselves absolutely covered by the time their body fell bisected by Kitai's own chains. With a pained grunt as their torso and lower began to fall, they quickly made note of the fact that Kitai prepared to throw a gauntleted-fist toward them. Not good.

Being grabbed, Orobas immediately found themselves subject to the effects of SUPER. One, ten, hundreds, eventually thousands of insects began to pour from their body. Predominantly, these were mostly cicadas, as was expected from their currently breeding swarm, but that by no means meant they were fond of the situation bringing itself alive within their own body. With a grunt as their legs and torso quickly reformed due to the property of their bugs coating their upper body, Orobas stood back up with a huff. Seems they were going to be defeated shortly, as they couldn't stop their insects from pouring out.

With a scoff, Orobas darted back, and maintained a healthy distance from the rage monster that currently stood where Kitai was. "Gods... It seems you've bested me again. I've got to say, I do acknowledge your strength..." Swarming the cicadas they'd formed around their hands, Orobas took up another fighting stance, though utterly winded, with that showing immensely. "But that doesn't mean that I'm out quite yet." With a chuckle, Orobas began to bounce on their heels, similar to that of a boxer as more and more Cicadas began to swarm around their hands. Such was the fate of one struck by the SUPER.

[Kitai Yoru]

As his teeth sank into the putrid flesh of Orobas, he nearly gaged at the taste of chard insects and Akki flesh. One he might have been able to deal with, but the two rancid tastes and textures had him on the verge of vomiting. A combination only a Hellion could have come up with, or at least that was the hope. Still, he didn't have to endure the hellish flavor for long, as the Sanctus leader let loose another stage of their release. Kitai felt his head jerk back, freeing the stump of a limb from his grasp. Still, there was one good thing that came from that nightmarish interaction.

His SUPER had hit the hornet's nest.

The blow was glancing, only tearing open a hole in their side, as Orobas was putting a healthy distance between the two of them. In mere moments, the wound was sealed shut, not a scar or hint of redness to their skin. It was as if the wound had never happened. That wasn't the only thing, as her leg grew back before he could really take note of it. Before they even landed, their limb was whole and new, bouncing around as if it hadn't been burned to cinders and ash not moments prior. Orobas had a tolerance for pain that rivaled even his own. Kitai couldn't stop the feral grin that spread across his face.

Without warning, a swarm of bugs started to fly out of the Hellion's person. Orange and blue bugs filled the air, before coating the hands and legs of their master. The bugs were huge, bigger than any natural bug Kitai had ever seen before. He couldn't place what they were, so he guessed they were just some mutated fly. Either way, the amount of them were obscene, making their limbs look like comically oversized clubs, massive and writhing in constant motion. Thousands of them covered the Hellion, and more flowed out of their once pristine suit, which was also ever shifting with the movements of an unspeakable number of hellish bugs.

Then Orobas did something he would have never imagined, said something he would have never thought they were capable of saying. "Gods... It seems you've bested me again. I've got to say, I do acknowledge your strength..." They acknowledged his strength? What? No, that wasn't possible. They were Akki! They were supposed to be bitter and hateful towards Saika! Kitai didn't think to question if he was projecting a bit too hard on that one. Wrath still filled his thoughts and actions, there wasn't time to reflect on any of this! Kitai gave out a response that only someone so consumed in his hatred and anger could. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAGHH!"

Chains exploded from his sleeves, lashing out like living snakes as his Bladed Chains came to life once more, each tipped with a red hot arm as long as the chains were. Kitai swung his arms to the right, as his entire body began to spin. Aided by not so subtle movements from the chains, Kitai quickly spun faster and faster, becoming a whirling tornado of heat and metal. The lunatic jerked to the left, and then to the right, and then flew at the mistress of monsters, as Kitai left a nearly seven foot groove into the once beautiful floors of this palace of the dead.

Watching Kitai flail around seemingly incoherently was... rather entertaining, all things considered. Something about watching the Saika enrage and be unable to form coherent sentences was something that tended to entertain the Akki. They couldn't quite figure out why, but it was fun to watch nonetheless. All that aside, though, they were in what was effectively "crunch time", so acting fast was of the utmost priority at the moment. That said, things were more or less wrapped up as it was, even despite this "crunch time", and they'd effectively resigned to their fate.

As Kitai spun around, Orobas burst into the sky with 6,000 speed, temporarily disappearing from sight and ending just a few inches away from the high Las Noches ceilings. Gripping on tightly to a small protrusion as Kitai continued to spin about, Orobas sighed softly while looking downward. "Well, Kitai, it's been fun, but I think I'm about ready to leave you be. Though, not without giving you somewhat of a... gift. Hopefully you'll appreciate it, Kitai?" As they finished speaking, They held their one hand up toward the ceiling, and proceeded to fire off Cicadas into the infrastructure.

Normally, bugs weren't going to be enough to do much of anything to the ceiling of a rather large-scale building. But, these were by no means normal bugs. And, as more and more and more continued to produce from their body, this simply allowed the opportunity for more to be fired off in various directions, smashing directly through the concrete and flying back down to do the same all over again. Given the sheer volume of bugs that Orobas had been forced to create, large portions of the ceiling was finding itself quite damaged in just a matter of seconds. Undamaged areas began to crack and crumble.

Before long, the Akki's grip was eventually lost, given the damage they'd just dealt to the ceiling, as they let go intentionally. Before falling, and while their descent, Orobas simply shouted once more to Kitai. "Thirty-three days from now, Kitai! Seven miles directly south of Uzaki! We expect to see you there for Soul Society's reckoning!" Just inches from the ground, Orobas used their last remaining reiatsu to vanish from sight, blacking out the area, and ending up in Hell once more.

Though, this was by no means the end of the Akki's influence over the fight. While sure, they were gone, Kitai had one more thing left to deal with; the now destroyed ceiling, crumbling and dropping in rather massive chunks, at similarly noteworthy speeds due to the elevation of the ceiling. Should he, or anyone else for that matter end up underneath these chunks of solid concrete, they'd be sure to end up more crushed than a hyper-flamboyant Italian bubble enthusiast fighting an ancient gay vampire.

(OOC: Orobas has left due to S.U.P.E.R. Kitai has won this encounter.)

[Kitai Yoru]

Kitai's rage ended abruptly, like diving head first into a lake in the middle of winter. The burning warmth faded away into a cold sensation that was only made worse by the extreme dizziness that came about from spinning around like a less funny Tasmanian devil. Once it was clear that Orobas had once again used their step technique to evade him, he looked around for his enemy. Nemesis? No, they weren't that important to him yet. Maybe another fight would put them on that list, but- "Wait, what are they doing up there?" Kitai asked himself, a queasy tone to his voice

Indeed, the akki was high in the air, hanging closer to the ceiling than he was strictly comfortable with. He was getting flashbacks from a battle he had with a particular bunny girl, as the Akki started blasting their bugs directly into the air, and through whatever material was unfortunate enough to be in their way. He could hear the rock and stone being smashed to pieces as the train of bugs ran through it like a railgun through wet paper. That made Kitai panic. They were taunting him, asking if he appreciated it. "NO! FUCK YOUR GIFT! RAISE THE ROOF, DON'T DROP IT ON MY HEAD YOU BUG BITCH!"

The lunatic began frantically searching his person, trying to find where he placed a particular item. As he did so, the pinstripe Akki continued talking. Thirty three days from now they wanted what? Uzaki? What did Uzaki have to do with any of this!? The man couldn't be any further from Hell if he tried! The man practically lived and breathed 'Superhero', and there was no way Kitai would believe the man capable of anything remotely bad enough to get him fated for the abyss. And Soul Society's reckoning? What in the four and a half worlds were they talking about!?

"Wait!" The madman said, as he popped out of his gigai for a moment. He reached into the pocket of his robes, and pulled out a black and silver pinstripe egg. A massive chunk of the building slammed down next to him as he did so, screaming before he dived back into his gigai. "Not dealing with this crap again!" He threw the egg down on the ground, creating a massive explosion of smoke. Out from behind the cloud emerged a large snake-like machine. It was reminiscent of a particular Tim Burton movie, as it was a pinstripe snake swallowing another snake, that had its mouth wide open.

The Lunatic wasted no more time, diving into the jaws of the beast, as they snapped shut. The rubble was crashing all around him now, and the world shook around him. "Come on! Move!" He yelled at it, as it came to life with the roar of the engines. The mighty mechanical Worm raised its head, and dived into the ground, burrowing through it as easily as a fish moves through water. It snaked through the hole it made at a speed of 800, the last of its body slipping under the ground as the world behind it was consumed by a near mountain of rubble.

---

There was something peaceful about traveling in the Worm, Kitai would admit to any who asked. You technically couldn't see anything while inside it, but you could tell from the sounds and the motion of the machine that you were going incredibly fast. That, and the constant stream of information that you received from the radar helped you realize that this was faster than any bullet train or airplane in terms of raw speed. It was why it was so fun! You could cross dozens of miles in a matter of minutes!

Sadly, he knew that those miles were filled with NOTHING! His contacts could see nearly everything around him, be it above or below, and it was empty! He understood why the shinigami had so much room to work with, why they had so much land in their base. It was because it needed to be to house all the dead that arrived to work in their army. But this? The arrancar didn't have that excuse! For goodness sakes, the first opponent he fought was a Hellion! This place was emptier than... well, he didn't know, but it was pretty darn empty!

Letting out an angry sigh, he decided to resurface, see if he couldn't get a better view from above the ground. The Worm breached through the top of a sandy hill, surfacing like a geyser of debris. Kitai crawled out, stretching and popping his back with an appreciative sigh. Cracking his neck, he looked to the horizon. There was... a bunch of red pillars. Massive red pillars, but red pillars none the less. He frowned, before shucking off his gigai. Now standing in his mask and cloak, he stretched once more, popping running up and down his spine.

That gigai was now wracked by the physical cost of using wrath, and was now useless to him. Unfortunate. A red light flared from behind his mask, as well as a pair of wings flaring to life on his back, as he released the second level of his darkskill. In an instant, a new gigai was covering his form, looking identical to the last. "There, good as new." He said, swinging his arms about. Traveling while lying on your stomach was... well, it was better than passenger airplane seats, that was for certain. He would have to correct that part about the Worm's design later.

As he was gazing into the horizon, his Black Fog started to quickly swallow the scenery around him. Like an omen of death, everything within thirty feet of the Saika was covered in the accursed mist. There was no need to let such a potent ability fade away just yet. He would keep it going as long as he could. "Why in the fuck would they put a sky in this bitch?" He couldn't help but ask, looking up, since there was nothing worth looking at in any other direction. The sky was sunny, with clouds floating gently through the breezeless air.

[Arcadus]

Having watched the match, or by his guess, re-match, between Orobas and Kitai, Arcadus was certainly impressed with the showings from both of them. Both certianly had gone as far as they were willing to go with that combat, and, seeing Kitai get into the Worm, decided to follow, flying down the whole with shockwaves and Luna Paso. Managing to latch onto the Worm eventually, Arcadus braced for what he had to do next. He had to either stop the worm or climb inside. Deciding with the former, He dug his heels into the ground, creating deep trenches as Arcadus gripped it firmly. 

As his fingers dug deeper into the metal panneling, and his feed dug harder into the earth, Arcadus gritted his teeth and pulled with all his might. Might to throw buildings and boulders towards the horizon, and, catching himself on a particularly sturdy section, yanked the worm to a stop. Reeling it in, Arcadus managed to make his way to the front of the worm, Arcadus cursed his luck. Of all people Kitai decided to invade. Well, maybe he wasn't so unlucky. Maybe he could leverage this "friendship" thing into Kitai leaving with a trinket or two. 

Stoppin gshort of that black fog Kitai semed to eminate, Arcadus decided knocking would be smarter than venturing into it. Slamming his fist against the worm hard enough to make the entire thing rattle, Acadus raised his voice to a yell. "KITAI, GET OVER HERE AND TELL ME WHY YOUR TRASHING THE PLACE" If nothing else, it would at least get him away from the worm to talk to him, or fight him. Arcadus shuddered. Kitai didn't seem like a fight he could win without exerting himself in a serious manner. 

Looking at the worm, he wondered if it was worth getting one of his own. It was nice way to travel, and he'd be able to see where he was going with his second sight, unlike the lunatic driving this one. Though, an Espada having an item illegal in Los Noches could prove.. and issue. Maybe keep it in the human world. Were there garages for something like this? Had to be if they could sell them. Pushing aside the tangent, Arcadus waited for Kitai's response. 

[Kitai Yoru]

Kitai was a pretty crazy guy, as nearly anyone would agree. Kitai swung open the hatch of The Worm as he broke the surface, intending on greeting the fresh air by launching himself out of his trusty vehicle a couple feet in the air. However, for some reason, his Worm halted in its entirety. Thanks to a momentum of 800, Kitai was launched a lot farther than a few feet. "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" The Saika screamed bloody murder, as he flew halfway through a sand dune, face first. "Did anyone catch the number of that bitch who hit me?" He said to himself, even sounding woozy to his ears.

Kitai spent a good few seconds too long in that mountain of sand, and to anyone with a high enough level of Energy Sensory could tell that the Saika had popped into his second stage of release, as well as doing a Reiatsu Transfer. Kitai didn't know what was going on, but he had assumed that Orobas managed to come back and attack him. He had acted quickly, creating two more bodies to replace his damaged and broken one, and giving his former vessel and the new one life. It would take a minute or two to take effect, but once it did... Wait, X-Ray Contacts, duh. His eyes closed, he peered through them, as well as the sand to see who it was that attacked him.

It was Arcadus. Why was Arcadus here?! The Lunatic struggled to get out of the sand, his limited strength not letting him wade through so much of the darned stuff, so he activated his Grasp of the Dead. A translucent crimson hand shot out of the heap, and dragged Kitai through it. His face was incredibly raw from the experience, and his new clothing was torn to pieces. The madman spat and sputtered, trying to get all of the obnoxious material out of his mouth. "Pttthhh! You! Puh, puh! You jackass!" He said, the Black Fog rushing to reclaim the area around him.

His eyes were closed, Kitai was rubbing them to make sure there wasn't anymore... ah screw it. Kitai popped out of that body too, kicking it as it fell, imbuing that with life as well. Kitai was in another body the instant it was off. "I don't like sand! Why is there so much sand!? It's like all the worst parts of being at the beach!" He loudly complained, glaring daggers at the blond. "What the hell didja you do that for?!" He yelled, fuming. He guessed that the distance between them was maybe a good hundred feet. The Black Fog was covering thirty five feet now, surrounding him in all directions.

Then he saw Arcadus knocking on The Worm. Hard. "AHHH! NO! NONONONO! Don't you dare hurt my baby! She's innocent!" He cried out in panic. His vision wasn't the greatest, at least in terms of spiritual beings, but he had good enough vision to see the massive dent he put in his ride. "All I see is mine to claim!" He said quickly, pointing his right hand at the Worm. If Arcadus was touching the item when he activated it, he would have to spend a thousand reiatsu to keep it where it was. If not, it would be instantly teleported to his side.

{Techniques Used}Dark Skill Level 2 Property: There is a difference between creating life, and bringing something back from the dead. The latter is what Kitai's second level allows him to do. No matter what state the corpse is in, no matter how little of the original body he has to work with, Kitai can restore it back to its prime. However, to do so is costly, even for Kitai. In order to bring a being back to life, Kitai must sacrifice a piece of his very soul to resurrect them. This cuts his spiritual pressure stat by 100 for every being he brings back to life, along with 1,000 reiatsu. Bodies brought back to life can use the non-release techniques that they possessed in life, but can only use techniques equal to or lower than the current class of this technique, reiatsu being used from Kitai's reiatsu pool.

Being brought back to life in this manner will have all of their stats when they were alive, and can even have their personalities given the right thread type. Once the shard of Kitai's soul is implanted, the second part of this ability can be used. Because of how mangled and warped his spirit is after countless resurrections in Hell, his soul is very easy for him to manipulate. By paying an additional 200 reiatsu, Kitai can move the remainder of his soul from one body to another instantly, from a distance of 100 meters. If he does this, he possesses the corpse he brought back to life for 3 posts, and re-merges with the soul fragment he used to bring the body back to life. The stats of the body that he possesses drops down, and can only be as high as 3x his own stats. This is not considered a stat boost. This return his stat back to him after two posts. If the vessel is destroyed with the soul fragment inside, it causes him immense pain, before returning to him after 4 posts, along with the stat value. While possessing a body, Kitai can only use the techniques he knows, not the techniques of the body.

The ability to reanimate a body can be used as many times a post as he wants, but doing so repeatedly will seriously damage his soul, cutting down his spiritual pressure. Also, he can only jump from body to body every two posts. Jumping to a body will take away the shard of his soul, and when he next leaves it, the body will die and cannot be brought back to life. In order to use this ability, Kitai must make physical contact with the corpse. It takes two posts for them to fully reanimate. The bodies brought back are fully under Kitai's control, and will do as ordered. Can fully bring a corpse back to life if the body has been under Kitai's control for a total of 5 posts, and by paying another 1000 reiatsu. This will return Kitai's soul fragment back to him, and restore his spiritual pressure stat. Kitai can resurrect the bodies that the first level of his darkskill creates. The bodies have a duration of seven posts before they die. Kitai cannot bring back the same corpse twice. This cannot permanently revive someone in a DE thread consisting of only two people.

Technique Name: Mark of Sin: Greed Mastered

Class: [3]

Technique Type: [General Sinner techniques]

Usable By: [Hell Races]

Technique Element: [None]

Technique Description and Effects: [Being stuck in the bad end of the afterlife tends to bring out of some of the more negative aspects of the soul. One of seven that can be concentrated and brought forth in a physical form. This manifests as a mark on the body. For Greed, this mark is branded on the palm of the dominant hand of the user. Greed is a very dangerous ability for any who value their belongings. Greed lets the user take anything within their line of sight. So long as whatever they are claiming isn't alive, they can take it in an instant. For most things, this requires little energy, maybe 25 reiatsu, and can be used every post. For things with actual power however, this gets tricky.

To take something for a being with power requires actual effort on the users part. Costing 500 reiatsu, the embodiment of Greed will attempt to steal their belongings. In order to do this, they must have their original highest spiritual stat be twenty five percent higher then their victim's original highest offensive stat. The opponent can resist this if they pay twice as much reiatsu as the user did to activate this ability. This ability cannot be negated against objects with less than two classes of this technique.]

How to use technique: [The user says aloud, 'All I see is mine to claim', and whatever they look at will instantly be in their hand, and fully under the command of the user.]

Technique Drawbacks: [If Greed fails, it will go onto a three post cool down.]

[Arcadus]

Standing next to the Worm, Arcadus listened to Kitai sputter about his "baby" like some car nerd seeing a 12 engine being back kicked. Watching him swipe the worm to him, coiled up with him sitting on top, Arcadus jetted up to the top to stand infront of Kitai, looking out over the sands, distant peaks of the old walls of Soul Society were resting. "Kitai, what are you doing here. You come into my home, the home of all free Arrancar, and come looking for a fight." 

"You clearly aren't just looking for a fight, but none the less you brutalize my dinner guest, using whatever that its" Pointing to the S.U.P.E.R., "Which by the way, I need to grab one of those, and one of these" Gesturing to the size of the worm, Arcadus chuckled to himself. "So, about that dinner guest by the way. You might have heard about something in about a month. Hell, and I guess this Santus organization if its made up of Alastor and Orobas, want to invade the Soul Society. As in, proper, all out conquest level invasion, not an incursion."

"However, and this is dawning on me just now, that they mentioned that only you and I were there only recruits for this kind of thing. I was wondering what your opinion on that might be. I'm told they're also lookin to eventually move into conquering all three worlds. Now you nor I want anything to do with that." Looking at Kitai, the same frank expression that they had had down in the basement of the Kitai shop crossed Arcadus's face. He hated being this vulnerable in social situations, but it seemed to be the only way to get through to Kitai. 

"And in either case, what are you looking for? Loot? The old Soul Society walls are over there" Pointing out to the black crystal formations half buried in the sand, "and there is Guujin, Kouhai's right hand. He's bound to have all kinds of cool stuff, plus I've been itching to have a go at him for a while. Something about him rubs me the wrong way. In so far as actual things he has I have no idea, but hes one of hte wealthier people in Los Noches, and someone I don't mind seeing roughed up."

Looking at Kitai, Arcadus awaited his response. He could sense other Espada were near by, but he really didn't want to have to play the Trecera infront of Kitai. That would be a actual pain, and talking them down might be harder than Kitai. Sighing, hopefully this would all be over and he could work out a plan with Kitai and the other Espada to just curbstomp Orobas and Alastor. That, in actuality could be a ton of fun, though if they had recruited anyone else it could be a real issue.
