War in the North [UE, Medium, NDE]

[Jak Halcom]

Jak fallowed the quincy and the fullbringers into the ally he could keep up with them. He wondered where they were going since it was a dead end, but the quincy girl leaped her way over the wall using the dumpster and a fire escape. "Hurry, the Cops from the west are approaching by car. We'll lose them best if we move on foot. Veniamin, secure the entrance to the alley." Jak would assume that Takara was leading the chase. She thought it was sweet enough for her to worry about him. No one worried about him like that with the exception of his mother, but god damn was she a bitch sometimes. She acted like Jak couldn't handle himself, and butting into his own business just because she was a mod soul.

Jak stopped to watch the fullbringer named Veniamin close the entrance of the ally. He would have been impressed thinking that would work, if it wasn't Takara he was thinking of. The woman seemed to have a knack for knowing exactly where he was. "Good work, Veniamin. Your Quality isn't "The Sturdy" for nothing. Now move it before the Ghosts catch wind of us. Let them clash with the Cops instead. Better for us to pick up the pieces without undue casualties." So it they were fullbringers. That sure confirmed it. The three fallowed the quincy while Jak just straight up leaped over the wall with ease. He ran beside the fullbringer, Veniamin. "So how did a group of fullbringers come to fallow a quincy anyway?"

He made it clear he was not fully trusting of the quincy girl, but was going to give her a chance just to see what was going on in this town. Jak had no trouble making his way with the group to a small shack. The fullbringers changed back to the forms that he had fought before. The quincy was about to do the same when she turned to him. "You're different, aren't you? Was there ever a time in your life where you weren't touched by the energy of the dead? I've never met someone like you... it's just, I can feel and sense it, you know? We can't guarantee your safety if you can't hide like us, though." Jak didn't even try to use the tough guy act he used before. It was blunt and to the point. "If your friends saw what i was capable off, they would literally be shitting the bricks he made. Hell itself has trouble containing me and my family, i think i will be fine."

[Takara Takeda]

Driving throughout the Russian area was something that Takara hadn't seen herself doing when she had accept the assignment from Kazura. This was suppose to be a simple flight, sell and return assignment. However, it seemed that whatever was causing the problems in Russia was going to cause her problems as well. It didn't seem to matter where she went there was always going to be something stressful occurring. It was a good thing there wasn't much if any traffic at the moment for Takara was speeding and didn't care enough to not endanger other drivers as she went after Jak.

She could still sense his reiatsu moving with a Fullbringer and a Quincy. Beyond that and where they were located and more than likely going she was basically blind to the situation. She still didn't know why Jak was traveling with them or what had happened. His reiatsu seemed stable from what she could tell so the idea that he had been captured or was dying wasn't really possible. If either was the case his reiatsu would feel different so why was he traveling with them.

That was when she started to lose track of his reiatsu and actually following after him got hard. She was coming to the conclusion that while she could capture up faster in the vehicle that she had taken from the police station. Jak and the others were moving through areas that a car couldn't meaning she had to travel differently and during the time that it took to do so she was losing track of Jak's reiatsu. Eventually she stopped the car and just sat there angry at herself for even letting him go from the station.

She couldn't catch up right now and he was at risk of . . . well everything! It seemed that there was another problem though Takara could pick up on the reiatsu of more individuals that were coming after both her and Vesta. The one that made the biggest impression was a Bount that seemed to be fairly powerful. Takara didn't have to time to deal with this right now. "Vesta we've got to find cover follow me." Takara said just as she opened the door of the car and began to run.

She wasn't very fast and was actually not used to wearing the clothing that she currently had covering her body. She was used to thin clothing that displayed her features and heels. At the moment due to the cold and snow Takara was wearing black fur boots, a black fur jacket and black pants. All of these were thicker than anything she had ever wore and it was actually quite tiring for her to run around in them all given her lack of physical strength. Getting to a close building took her about a minute. She'd get to the building a see that opening it wasn't going to be an option unless Vesta could so she had to make a change in plans. "Alright looks like the ally is our best bet." Takara would continue to lead the way all while sensing the location to make sure nothing new would sneak up on them while they rushed to the ally.

[Vesta Zweig]

Vesta was sitting in the car, looking around at her surroundings, trying to figure out what was going on. She couldn't really see anything with Takara speeding through the streets like she was. She tried to energy sense for anything, but it was so poor, she could barely feel anything. She held onto the pendant that became Zorn and felt him move in it, trying to comfort her. She took a deep breath.

Zorn tried to make her feel better, by telling her that she had an ally in the car with her that would look out for her if she really needed it and that he was there whenever he called for her. It was reassuring, but not reassuring enough for her. She looked towards the woman. She barely knew her, but they belonged to the same organization now. She didn't know the woman's objectives or what she was actually doing with the company.

They were just thrown together for this mission. She looked back down and took a deep breath, hoping that this woman actually did have the best interests of both of them and not just herself. She continued to think on Takara's motives and objectives when she felt the car slow down and eventually stop. She glanced over at the driver and Takara seemed to be upset about something.

She then said that they needed to get to cover quickly. Vesta nodded, quickly got out of the car and followed Takara to a nearby building. She continued to grasp the pendant around her neck, ready to use it when she needed to. They arrived at the building around the same time and Vesta quickly looked around, trying to figure out anything. Before she could, however, Takara told her that it would be safest to run down the alley. Vesta nodded running behind the woman and keeping her eye out.

[Kazura Uzaki]

At Jak's mention of her race, the Quincy girl wrinkled her nose in disgust and spit on the ground. "That name... Quincy... It means nothing to me. I am a Blade and nothing more. You can call me Asya. As for my full name, it doesn't matter, I abandoned both family names long ago when I came to serve the Queen." After her seemingly rehearsed speech (or at least a speech she had given on many an occasion) she did crack a smile at Jak's boast about the other fullbringers and how they'd react to what he was capable of. "Aw, you're cute. You must have forgotten that we live in Hell. It's all we know these days. These men have all seen horrors beyond imagination. And we have the markings for proof."

Asya drew back one of her sleeves to reveal a tapestry of tattoos etched into her skin. The most prominent tattoo was of a simple dagger on her wrist which had no other ink even close to it. The rest of her arm was covered in various tattoos. The largest ones were simply names as if she was giving respect to whoever the name represented. The smaller, more intricate tattoos depicted parts of stories that at times were highly detailed. Images like that of a pair of arrows simultaneously carving through both heads of a large two headed snake or a bow string choking the life out of a man with curved fang-like tattoos on his face. Jak could probably stare at her arm for hours and still see new stories on a small section of skin, but she quickly covered it back up. "We all have stories written on our skin. They're what remind us what happens to those who defy the Queen."

Asya would then allow Jak to enter the shack. It was a small room, barely furnished except for a small bookshelf, a dozen cots organized barrack-style, and a marble birdbath in the center. The three fullbringers had already kicked off their shoes and were sitting on a pair of cots playing some cards, and the only other person in the room was a dark skinned girl sleeping in the far corner. She looked to be in her early twenties, but it was hard to tell as she was lying down facing away from the entrance. "Feel free to take a breather, but don't even think about touching the water. It's not even for the Dull, much less the uninitiated."

---

Meanwhile, Takara and Vesta made their way into an alley to try and catch up with Jak. The Nakabakki and team of Blades had eluded them, and as the Uzaki Enterprises employees hit the dead end in the alley, their pursuer caught up with them. Speaking in Russian, Vesta would once again be left in the dark about what the new arrival was saying, and the Mod Soul had yet to translate for her, so this time probably wouldn't be any different. "Well well well... What do we have here? Fresh bodies, all full of life, without any identifying marks. You don't appear to be Cops, and no Blades would be caught dead without their tattoos... So let me have a taste of your virgin blood, won't you?"

The Bount was tall, standing at just over six feet in height, and was practically albino with how little pigment there was in his skin. However, his very white skin was full of black tattoos. Under each eye, on both cheeks, on both wrists, and on his chin were curved fang-like tattoos. When he was done talking in his creepy high pitched voice, he stuck out his tongue and began to drool. On his tongue there also was a fang tattoo, but not right in the center, rather it was inked off to the right of the appendage. "Go hold them down, Knechtung, so I can drink until I'm full..."

Out from behind the Bount sprinted his doll. The slender figure in a suit was shorter than the Bount, which explained how it could hide from sight so easily behind the bigger and bulkier man. The doll was also completely devoid of facial features, looking like it was wearing a white cloth over the entirety of its head like a bald cap. The shadowy black tentacles coming from behind it and its impressive speed could also be a bit terrifying. All in all, it was a creepy doll for a creepy man, and it was charging straight for Takara at full speed whom it perceived to be the more important target. Its tentacles were directed at her in an attempt to grab her and pin her to the wall, while it's arms were left open to deal with whatever counter attacks the two girls had in store. Its powers were still as of yet unknown as well, so caution as well as haste would be ideal.

[Takara Takeda]

Takara managed to get into the alley way and just as she did for a moment it seemed like she'd be able to check up to Jak and find out why he was moving with the Fullbringers and the Quincy. She had a multitude of ideas as to what was happening, but couldn't assume either way. It was possible that Jak had actually been defeated and right now he was unconscious and being taken away which was the main reason why Takara needed to find him as soon as possible. However, knowing him he could also be traveling with them without thinking of what it would do to the team that Kazura sent.

Vesta was so far a very well employee that was following instructions and keeping a level head. As they got to the end of the alley though Takara lost Jak's reiatsu signature and knew that she wouldn't be able to track him down specifically now. She'd have to go to the place that she had last sensed him and hope that she'd be able to pick it up from there. It didn't seem like she would have any other choice than to do that anyway as the reiatsu of the Bount that had been following them was now right near them at the entrance to the alley.

Takara turned and looked at the creature he was more than likely frightening to the average individual or inexperienced one. However, Takara had clashed with that freak Kitai that Kazura kept in his basement so physical appearances were no longer really something for the Mod Soul to associate with fear. What she was though was angry as he began to speak in Russian insulting both her of them by believing that he'd be able to drink them. As he spoke Takara connected herself with the Omega Arsenal. She had no time to waste on this wanna be scary Bount.

He was off in his own little world trying to intimidate both Vesta and herself which wouldn't work on her although she couldn't say the same for Vesta due to lack of knowledge. As he stunk out his tongue to display his somewhat creepy yet more disgusting action of drooling Takara materialized a land mine three feet in front of the Bount beneath the snow. It wasn't the only one though as her connection at this level allowed her to extend the reach of her materialization up to twenty five feet. Two feet directly behind the Bount would be another land mine hidden from sight just as the first. "Vesta he's going to attack. Defend yourself accordingly, but don't get close to him."

Takara made sure to speak in Japanese so that Vesta would be able to understand her while the Bount more than likely wouldn't get the message that was being sent against him. Takara sensed the reiatsu of the Bount spike as he released his Doll and sent the white creature out planning on it capturing both Vesta and Takara for his own thirst. The Doll Knechtung as it was called rushed from behind the Bount and Takara could see the black tentacles that it had on it's back that were being angled towards herself. It wouldn't matter though as the Doll had little to no room to evade and now would step on the land mine causing it to explode.

The Doll was moving fast enough that Takara could only actually see it and think in time due to the speed that her brain could process information. She could tell based on the distance that the Doll was traveling through the alley that it actually was moving faster than the explosion of the land mine could. However, she also knew the spread of the land mine that she had placed in the snow. It would explode and spread over an area of three feet in each direction cover most of the alley's width. The Doll would more than likely be injured either way though the Bount if he didn't move would take the edge of the blast harming him regardless of his Doll getting away from the explosion.

The offensive force of each land mine was equivalent to 500 meaning that it would gravely injury either of them if not them both. If the Doll continued to rush towards her though Takara would take action materializing a broadsword five feet in front of her angled horizontally at her breast height. The way that it would instantly appear in the air between herself and the Doll would make it nearly impossible for the Doll to react in time to evade. The momentum that the Doll had already built up wouldn't be something that it could avoid. The broadsword would move forwards just a few inches and the distance between them would make it so that it's tentacles wouldn't be close enough. The Doll would run it's chest onto the blade more than likely killing itself.

[Vesta Zweig]

Vesta ran after Takara, not really feeling anything out of the ordinary. She was trusting her new teammate's ability to sense the things around her. Once they started running down the alleyway, it wasn't until towards the end that she could see the end of the alley, meaning that they were now stuck in a dead end alley. Vesta looked around and then saw the man that had run up behind them. She had never seen him before.

His tattoos were gross, to say the least. She didn't understand why there were so many fangs tattooed all over his body. The one on his tongue grossed her out the most. She made a face showing her disgust at the man while he talked. Of course, when he spoke, she had no idea what he was saying, but it seemed like Takara knew what he was talking about. Vesta just stood there, waiting to see what would happen.

She watched him move over and heard him say the German word Knechtung. She cocked her head to the side, not hearing a German word spoke around here, since it was Russia. The only other person that she had heard speak ANY German word was Jin, the leader of the Bount race. The German word made her think that he might be a Bount. It wasn't until she watched something move from behind him that made her think she was correct.

It was obviously a doll. He had released his doll and was having it attack them. It seemed Takara was telling her to get ready and she was obviously doing something. When Takara started to talk, she ripped the locket and yelled, "Ziege Dich, Zorn!" When she said his release phrase, the lightning tiger started to appear in front of Vesta. She quickly jumped on his back and saw his change.

His two passive abilities started to activate. His fur started to shine a little, starting to slightly discharge the lightning on his fur. Now, if anyone touched him, Takara included, they will lose some ability to summon reiatsu on that side of their body. The next thing that happened was a lightning net was released out into the area. It was not effective yet since Zorn had not put his reiatsu into it.

Vesta looks towards Takara. Takara, I would suggest that you not touch my Doll. He's a little 'shocking' right now. She would speak it loud enough for Takara to hear, since they were in such close proximity and she laughed at the little joke that she had said. She watched as Zorn stood next to Takara, roaring towards the enemy and waiting to strike when he came into his melee range.

[Jak Halcom]

Well it looks like Jak might like this Quincy after all if that was her reaction to her race. She gave him a speech that sounded like she given a hundred times over. He really didn't care. "Aw, you're cute. You must have forgotten that we live in Hell. It's all we know these days. These men have all seen horrors beyond imagination. And we have the markings for proof." It was Jak's turn to chuckle exposing his fangs if she was paying enough attention to them. She showed him her arm tattoos which the meaning he just missed. It all just looked like a jumble of ink and images.  "We all have stories written on our skin. They're what remind us what happens to those who defy the Queen." 

"Duly noted." He was then allowed to enter the small shack. He quickly looked around the small room. He wondered if they were going to be expecting more company, or just taking a break. The girl in the corner did catch his eye, but he lefter her alone for now. "Feel free to take a breather, but don't even think about touching the water. It's not even for the Dull, much less the uninitiated." "What's a Dull?" he asked bluntly. He leaned against the wall near the door. He wanted to be able to make a quick get away in case things get hairy. He was sure that Takara would be all over the area if he simply flares his spiritual energy. He uncapped his canteen and took a swig wiping his lips before replacing the flask. 

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Knechtung continued to run towards the two girls, but Takara would be surprised to see that her land mine would not be detonated. The doll was completely blind, potentially evident because of his lack of eyes or facial features altogether. His only way to observe the world was through Energy Sensory and the direction of his master. As soon as the Mod Soul had summoned the explosive from the Omega Arsenal the doll had been aware of it and had adjusted his step slightly so the foot would fall just to the side of the bomb. The creature continued to move onward down the alley until Takara summoned the broadsword to attempt to bifurcate the Doll.

Knechtung jumped into the air, landed on top of the horizontal blade, and then pushed off of it to jump a second time. He landed just a foot away from Takara and was going to attack, but hesitated as Vesta released her doll. Suddenly, to the doll, there was a third powerful target to attack. And as Zorn released the lightning net and prepared the Static Fur, Knechtung started to seize up and convulse. Energy Sensory was the dolls eyes, but also was its replacement for not having physical sensations of touch. And suddenly Zorn seemed to exist everywhere in a huge radius. Completely covering the doll and surrounding him.

"It's just an energy field, idiot! Grab them!"

---

Asya left Jak by the door and walked to the center of the room towards the basin of water. "It refers to our ranks in the Queen's service. Those outside our ranks are Broken, the uninitiated are Dull, and Her Chosen are Keen. It may just be water, but it's pure to us." From inside her boot she drew an arrowhead. It wasn't attached to a shaft, and was quite a bit longer than the average arrowhead would normally be. It had a few notches in the back to allow her to grip it between her fingers and wield it in her hand instead of just fire it from a bow. "Each of us has a gift from our Queen. You should pray to whatever being you worship that you never see mine."

[Jak Halcom]

Jak rolled his eyes again. He was getting so tired of this girl's mouth. The queen this, the queen that, at this rate the queen was going to drive him to drink. Normally he would see that as a challange. A fight was a fight in his eyes, and he would gladly fight anyone. He was just not feeling it for this one. He was here to find out what was going on that is all. "Threaten and bluster all you like. I don't give a damn. I am only here to find out what is going on in this iceberg of a country. The sooner i can do that, the sooner we will be out of each other's hair." He closed his eyes making sure that his arm was warming his body. Why didn't he take a jacket? He wondered to himself. 

[Takara Takeda]

Takara watched as the Doll although without eyes changed the course of action that it's leg was about to take after she had summoned the land mine in the path that he had been taking towards them. She knew what that meant it was obvious that this Doll could only work through Energy Sensory. As the broadsword had been summoned Takara was starting to get irritated by the persistance of this Doll jumping onto her blade and then off of it so it could get closer to her. Takara was going to finish this in the next instant when Vesta released her own Doll and Takara could see the reaction from the other one.

Takara was adept at sensing reiatsu so she knew what this Doll was sensing and how Zorn seemingly to the Doll would be all over the area now due to the spand of his reiatsu. She took the time that the Doll was trying to figure out what was going on and suddenly the land mine that had been under the snow was now up in the air and moving towards the Bount. Takara launched the land mine a moment after maniuplating it off the ground causing it to move at a speed of 600. The Bount would have to move or react in some way or else his body was going to be blown apart thus causing his Doll to disappear as well. Takara though was also manipulating the broadsword behidn the Doll and now with a quick slash attempted to cut the legs off of it.

[Vesta Zweig]

Vesta watched as the Doll started to run towards them. Zorn was already formed, with his passive abilities starting to form. She noticed while the Doll was running towards them, there were no facial features on the Doll at all. It was interesting to her but that left her to think that either the Bount was able to direct his Doll around the battlefield through their bond or the Doll used the extrasensory ability of sensing the energy around him. 

The Doll immediately seized up when the net was cast. Vesta then knew he was sensing Zorn's reiatsu, since the net was pure reiatsu. The Doll could sense reiatsu energy of its enemy, which was an interesting skill to have, but it seemed with this huge release, the Doll had no idea what to do. She looked towards Zorn and nodded. He glanced to her and nodded in return, running up to the Doll.

Since the Doll was frozen in what she assumed was fear for all the reiatsu, she knew this was the opening that Zorn needed to attack the Doll. So, he ran full force towards the Doll, aiming his jaw full of sharp teeth towards his left leg. He was going to try to grab at the leg and pull extremely hard, lifting the Doll up and throwing him away from the group. If the Doll happened to touch Zorn at any time, whichever hand that touched him, that side of his body would be able to use reiatsu. If both did, the Doll wouldn't be able to use reiatsu at all.

[Kyomei Kuchiki]

Asya turned cold at Jak's outburst and looked visably perturbed. "There is a War going on in this country, hiding behind the scenes. The Fangs take new territory daily as the Blades struggle to keep up. We put pride in our Quality, they force converts and have Quantity. And the Cops... The cops just fail to touch either of us. What even brings you to this country?" The card game seems to have stalled as the teen boys are fixated on Jak. They may not understand his language, but they understand Asya's tone just fine and are ready to act if commanded to.

---

Vesta and Takara were doing a poor job of communicating and working as a team. Neither of them talked to each other, which was dangerous as now both Zorn and a landmine were headed for the same target. Zorn succeeded in grabbing the Doll Knechtung, but Vesta and Zorn would be sent flying backwards as the Mod Soul's land mine struck the Doll in the back and detonated. The blast took out Knechtung quite simply, without the broadsword needing to be used. As the dust cleared, the Bount looked extremely worse for the wear. He hadn't been struck by the mine, but his right arm was bleeding heavily from some sort of backlash.

He spit blood onto the ground before fleeing the alley...

[Takara Takeda]

Takara couldn't see everything and it had actually slipped her mind that Vesta's Doll might go on the offensive against the Doll that was right near them. Takara wasn't used to other individuals going on the offensive when she was with them so it seemed with Vesta after this that wpould be one thing that would have to be a concious factor. The landmine that she had manipulated up from the snow was able to successfully make contact with the back of the other Bount's Doll known as Knechtung.

In the following moment Takara felt as if her ears were being torn off of her skull still unaccustomed to the pain that would come with her developed sense of hearing. Takara was throw to the snow in the opposite direction of Vesta and her Doll from the force of her landmine. It would take her a few moments afterwards to get back up onto both of her feet now irritated at how careless she had been with her own ability. Her sense of hearing was causing a loud high pitch ring that didn't seem like it was going away. A headache was already insuing which she knew was only going to make things more annoying.

However, it seemed that the Bount had gotten away, but Takara could both smell and see the blood that was in the snow where he had been standing and in the direction he had ran away. It seemed that for the moment the both of them could try and catch up to Jak. At this point though Takara wasn't going to be in anyway comfortable with moving. While she still could move doing so meant that she was going to get progressively worse and have to rely on Vesta for awhile.

Takara's clothing was covered in snow which was going to become water pretty soon which would make movement more difficult. Moving her left hand into his coat pocket she pulled outt eh cell phone that was given to all members of the Uzaki company. All it took was a quick press of a button and her phone starting to ring. "My apoligizes Vesta I wasn't aware what type of Doll you possessed. I'll keep him in mind from now on. Give me a moment we can't catch up to him so lets see if he'll answer his phone." Takara was trying to best to keep everything under control even though they were still sitting ducks in the alley and she needed to find Jak. So calling him was the best hope for the moment.

[Jak Halcom]

"There is a War going on in this country, hiding behind the scenes. The Fangs take new territory daily as the Blades struggle to keep up. We put pride in our Quality, they force converts and have Quantity. And the Cops... The cops just fail to touch either of us. What even brings you to this country?" It seemed what he said touched a nerve. He might also have gone too far. Still he was starting to get more upset the more she got upset. His right arm started to glow brighter and hotter with his anger. 

He quickly turned from the Quincy girl and takes several deep breaths. he places his hand on the side of the shack trying to think. This was not going to get him anywhere. He was still in a four vs. one situation, and didn't even know which side he was with. He hated to think it, but what would Takara do? Once he was calmed he turned back looking a bit calmer. "Look, I am sorry about that, but I am under the impression that you allowed me to fallow because I could be of some help, and I can't be if I am not given the full picture. I need to know exactly what is going on, and why its going on..." His cell phone started to ring in his pocket. 

He picked it up seeing that Takara had finally had the sense to call the phone. Though he was suprised that she wasn't already beating down the door to get to him. "Excuse me that is my compatriot. I will only be a moment." He turned to open the door and walk out. If she tried to stop him he wouldn't go out understanding her wanting to make sure he isn't giving infomation to her enemies, if not he would walk just outside answering it regardless of what would happen.

"You reached Jak Halcom, the resident badass of Karakura town how can I help you?" He said into the phone. He was mentally bracing himself for the lashing that was sure to come from the mod soul. 

[Vesta Zweig]

Vesta watched as Zorn had grabbed the other doll as she expected. What she didn't expect, however, was for Takara to do something at the same time and not telling her about it. It wasn't until it was too late that she noticed the land mine aiming for the doll as well. Once the land mine hit the other Bount's Doll, Vesta worried about her Zorn. But, it ran out of her mind when the land mine went off.

It hit Zorn pretty hard and he flew backwards rather quickly. Vesta got hit by the shockwave as well from the land mine. They both landed pretty hard on the ground. It took Vesta a few moments to shake her head clear and get her senses about her again. While she was getting up, she immediately looked towards Zorn and slowly made her way over to him. He was still here, so the damage done to him wasn't too bad.

She sat near Zorn and waited for him to get up, which wasn't too long after her. Right when she got to him, he was only down for a few more seconds till he opened his eyes and very slowly started to sit up.
