VT nodded as they walked then noticed some fox statue around the paths after half an hour of walking. The fox stayed wore red like collar napkins are there necks "the hell?"

"See that's where gatekeepers get it wrong too fixed on fixing all aspects of their realms. It can drive a gatekeeper mad of they worry too often." He said grabbing a staff and watched her. Before slapping her knee harshly with the staff.

"Good form but your too heavy footed. You want power yes in blade strikes bit keep lighter on your feet. Makes you faster but also strong" he explained and sat down to watch again

Bane looked around as they walked and said “just like Toraksuis...where the heck are we...” he flinched and held his ears. “dang it...there’s a ringing...”

Serena flinched at her knee then nodded. She took a breath and lightened her footing, breathing evenly as she swung the blades together. Soon it looked more like a dance then fighting, which is how she made it look magical. She even closed her eyes in the movements, losing herself in the motions. The shadows gathered around her as she moved, acting with her.

"Kind of look like his" said before looking at Bane confused"ringing?" Asked confused as he didn't.

The fox watched smiling gently just enjoying it. Though he offered no fee back just wanting her to enjoy her time as well. Though the fox never explained how his blades worked they never released any magic of any form. They where magic but in combat the blades never showed any magic. Though he never practiced anymore outside he still learned and absorbed new knowldage.

"Nice job" he said to her nodding his head

Bane nodded and said “my ears are picking up a high pitched ringing...somewhere south of here...ouch” he rubbed his temple, the ringing getting higher pitched.

Serena sighed and nodded, looking worn out. “The twins are back to level...next mission remind me to push to give them both to me...they are at risk...of shattering if used apart...” she put them back in their sheathes and stumbled back. Torak would now feel the levels of energy coming off of her. She had used magic during the session to bring her blades back to peace. And it was taxing. She muttered “I think one more round...should be good...” she swayed a little, forcing herself to keep going.

Total rolled his eyes and sighed "now you listen here you stubborn one. No more, you need rest and if I gotta force you to sleep I will" he said not about to have her drop dead on his watch. He's got enough problems with corp thinking he'd eat her or something.

"I don't hear anything" said confused before getting special earplugs for bane and handed it to him to help block out the awful sound

Serena waved him off and muttered “I have to respect my blades...they weren’t meant to be apart...I have to make sure they are in tune with each other...” she started to moved back to the start but her swords shook in her hands, not wanting her to hurt herself anymore. She shook her head and muttered “don’t you start acting up now...”

Bane flinched again then saw the plugs and put them in, sighing “thanks VT...let’s get moving. I don’t think we are wanted here...”

The kitsune raised an eyebrow"even your blades know better" he said "so stop amd listen. Takes a lot to stop and relax but that's only thing that keeps me sane" muses to himself twirling the staff on his finger.

Vt shrugged junsue till they finally found their way to a village "hold up isn't that the same one from whatever his blade was doing that one time?" Asked but the place looked dead and it was crawling with thousands ion thousands of those fox statues.

Serena looked at him, her eyes burning as she said “too many lives are at risk Toraksui...I just want to do everything I can...” she sighed and tried to move the blades again but they flashed and made her drop them. She cursed and moved to picked them up, the room spinning on her. “You don’t have to worry...” she was a stubborn woman.

Bane nodded and said “it smells like his blade...what is going on? The air is different here...”

The fox rolled his eyes, before tapping her forehead with a finger causing harsh sleep magic to kick into gear with her "Now go to sleep" he caught her as she fell and looked at the blades "Don't worry she will be safe" before transporting the blades back to the vault and going back to Saren's and banes room and placing her down. Though he could hear the alarms go off and knew they probably saw it on camera her get knocked out and instantly thought he had killed her or something as he sighed hearing yelling and running around.

"Oh Sarena how much trouble you get us into" He muses gently, her stubborn nature was good but that's a bad flaw to have as well. He could hear pounding on the door and smirked "rest well" said before opening the door "Hello gents" grunted as they grabbed him, yanking him out of the room.

VT looked around and raised an eyebrow "Strange it is" said looking around feeling them all just stare at them. The place gave him the creeps as he walked around before hearing a rattling sound before noticing Toraksui blade next to a large fox shrine. VT looked at the Japanese and spoke "Here lies a man, a warrior, a husband and a friend, Toraksui Asktajio" he spoke looking at the shrine "wow the actual resting place" though he wanted to take the shrine back he had a feeling it was not something they should do. Before looking at all the fox statues around. Seeing that they all seemed to have flowers meaning that others had come and given a prayer to the fallen ones.

"Huh strange are we not the only ones here?" asked before a female voice spoke "we often visit to pay praise to our fallen ancestors," said causing two males to whirl around a girl stood there smiling. as Vt frowned slightly "Um we are sorry we thought we were the only ones here" said, but vane couldn't catch a scent of this strange girl.

"This place used to be beautiful, full of color and life. But people took the guardian away" said the female as VT frowned slighty and looking around. It was true when they had seen it before it was so stunning and amazing. Now all life seemed to be drained out of it. Abandoned and sad looking and frowned as he knew he helped cause this. "Maybe one day the guardian will be returned" he said as he looked at the statues closer seeing names on all of them.

Serena felt the magic was over her and muttered “Torak...what...” she fell against him, the magic hitting hard. She faintly felt his arms around her before she passed out completely. Her twin blades glowed in thanks as he picked them up. When he was taken the shadows followed him, intending to keep her word to him. One way or another.

Vos would hear her door open and a voice said “your guards are very jumpy, captain vos...one just tripped and fell on his face” a man stood there, his bright deep red hair looking like fire and his eyes were like lava orange. He wore a three piece suit and hat to match. He walked in and said “sorry it took me so long to get here. Dante Vale at your service. Your demon expert has returned.”

Bane knew the girl wasn’t human and he looked back at the shrine. He bent down and reached into his pocket and ripped out a paper from his notebook. He quickly folded it into a flower and set it by his marker. “It’s not much but...” he stood back up and said “VT...we have to fix this...somehow...”

Vos raised an eyebrow and looked over from her computer "about time you showed up dante" she said and cracked her back slightly "we need you to run some tests on our....demon boy " she said and went to get the file on torak and found it missing and frowned "I'm gonna kick their asses" she growled annoyed before finding the backup file on the kitsune and have it to him"but do be careful we managed to get him into the hold chambers for right now he might not be very happy" explained .

VT frowned "if I had known taking away toraksui would have done this I would have stopped it before Vos could tranquize him" said sad to see that something that went so much to toraksui was so dead "we will make it right . On!' he turned to the female and looked at her.

"I was wondering how did the legend go about toraksui vs the gatekeeper I heard he was human but gatekeepers have intense power on their side I was wondering if you knew how he did it"

Dante took the file and his eyes glowed. “No worries, I make great first impressions...I can handle this” he bowed his head and left the room. He walked down the hallway to the lab, looking over the file. “Interesting...” he walked into the lab and headed for the chamber. He paused looking up and saw them locked. He sighed and said “what is this old school?” He waved his hand and his red magic moved and opened the doors for him. He walked in and said “pardon me, master...” he paused and looked at the file. “Master Toraksui? I hope I’m saying that right. I am Dante Vale. I’ll be running your power level tests...mind telling me why your in here? Or was that why the guards were running around like chickens?”

Bane shook his head and said “I wasn’t with the company when it happened...but from what I’ve read, there are some things that don’t add up about the whole thing”

The male sat in a room in a single chair chained Ina weird spell like circle "oh great they sent someone to talk to me" snickered amused and looked at him "said it fine, they always run around like chickens whenever I do anything"

VT looked as the girl slowly faded away and was gone as he shuddered as the air got bone chilling cold "bbbbrrr" kept looking at the village walking across a brudge

Dante chuckled and snapped his fingers. His demonic chaos magic moved around the room and undid the chains. “Well I am running your tests today so shall we get started? Then I have an appointment with...” he paused and smiled a sly smile and muttered “the dear lady night...such a lovely creature of shadows...I wonder if she’s here right now...” he had a hungry look in his eyes when he said her name.

Bane growled and said “ghosts...so not in the mood for ghosts...” he followed the droid into the village and said “how did they catch Toraksui? You were there right?”

The kitsune raised an eyebrow at him and rolled his eyes before flicking his wrist slightly as his blade which was at the site of his shrine picked up and took off. Before literally slamming through the door and nearly hitting dante in the face as it whizzed to the Kitsune hand "now I'm ready" said seeming to if or the comment about sarena. His collar beeped and the door slammed shut and locked before the collar unlocked and fell off.

VT frowned "it was a bloody fight nearly took half of our men out. And we had hundreds of us there and the kitsune slaughtered almost everyone in sight. He was incredibly hard to contain everything we used seemed to only piss it off more. " He said rubbing the back of his head "it's a great regret I have now that I was a part of distorting this peaceful place"

Dante nodded and tilted his head to avoid the sword then pulled out a notebook. “Alright Master Toraksui how are these tests normally done? I haven’t done one with you before so I don’t want to change things too much from the norm...only make it better?” He looked up and saw the shadow hanging out. He smiled again and said “she is here...the goddess has sent one of her shadows to watch over you...” he sat down in the chair and looked up at the kitsune, his eyes glowing softly. The way he talked about Serena would make anyone skin crawl.

Bane nodded as they walked and said “I heard a rumor...they called Vale to come to the office...Serena won’t be happy...” he paused and looked around. “There’s a odd feeling here...what do we need to do here?”

VT chuckled slightly "oh boy can't wait to watch that go down" said amused before he wasn't looking where he had gone as he was talking "some energy reading," tripped and knocked a statue over watching as it broke. Before his eyes widen "shit" he whispered.

The kitsune rolled his eyes at the male ", weirdo" said before the room spoke ,"uploading training session 150" spoke the room. Before the kitsune cracked his neck and smiled ",just try not to get killed like the last twenty creeps that had to watch me" muses before the room started the testing session. His session was going fine doing things deemed almost impossible by even the gods standards before something in him snapped wide awake as his eyes glowed brightly.

Room started saying "Abort, abnormal power readings, evacuate" spoke the room starting to blare the alarm as the kitsune form stated to shift swiftly.

Bane sighed and bent down, picking up the statue and said “you have any glue? We can fix it relax?” He took the glue from the droid and started to fix the figure.

Dante looked around and said “well this is interesting...I wonder...” the shadow shot off to get help. A few minutes there was knocking and Serena was there, looking tired and yelled “Dante open the door! What are you doing to him!”

The creature roared deeply, before slamming right through the wall, slamming past Sarena. His frame was huge, bigger than a house. His paw alone was huge, his fur was bright gold and dark black color. But what she would find odd was his tails, Kitsune genetically only could have up to eight tails. This kitsune had ten tails, something that's not normal at all. He screeched a roar and tore through the hallway his eyes glowing alarms blaring as the entire training room was completely destroyed. Guards tried to stop the kitsune as the creature slaughtered everyone in his way. The collar no longer on him, a truly bad time now.

VT tried to fix it as they managed to do it but the spirit seemed restless as they could hearing wailing slightly as VT frowned "Think that's our cue to leave" said VT as he noticed it only got colder

Bane looked around and muttered “I think we messed up VT...we need to go now!” He took off running and then shifted into his wolf form and yelled “get on my back! It will be faster to get back!”

Serena cursed and yelled “I need my blades!” Dante ran after him and said “of course my goddess” he snapped his fingers and her blades appeared before her. She caught them and ran after Toraksui and then said “I won’t catch him like this...” she whistled and a dark winged horse appeared and she jumped on to follow the fox demon. She flew in front of him and said “Toraksui! Snap out of it! I’m here just let me help you!”

Dante was running after the pair, a smile on his lips. He did enjoy chaos.
