[/indent]Leon had taken some notice of Sloane's passing of the staff. He doubted her intentions in the action, but now wasn't the time for questioning one another. It was the time for action. Time for-

The absolute power of the sun smiting the hellhole before them was quite the opening flourish. Searing his retina, he instantly began to open Lelou's water and earth seals in order to regain his eyesight. When he did, his gaze was on Jess who had bitten the worst of it. His pack was laden with Temple-made goodies, and rather than break forward, he immediately slid to the side of the Greenwood members. A pack of the neon green gelatinous keylime pie filling slapped onto the ground next to Ruby and Jess.

Ken wasn't so patient. Nor was he concerned about the heat and bright light of the sun blast etching its way across the estate before them. It was par for the course in terms of what he was expecting: Big, extravagant displays of wealth demanded equally extravagant displays of destruction. Death on a wide scale... He only hoped Kari's journals were underground when everything happened. But that wasn't what he'd signed up for. He had some pent-up aggression that needed to be taken care of.
Leon'd explained what some of this stuff the Temple provided was supposed to do. It was interesting, but not something he necessarily wanted to put in his body after what Luca had been talking about... It didn't matter. It was necessary. This "Red-Pepper Jam" was meant to boost overall Lux conjuring, allowing the everyday Adept to pull from a level of strength they otherwise wouldn't be able to. But for someone like Ken, whose life was spent living and breathing the Lux that surrounded him, it was an altogether different level. Not only could he feel the anticipation of Purple Lux roiling up around him to crowd his body with its pressure, but the Gold Lux that came with it was like a folded-steel blade hot to the touch. It was driving his curse mark wild - There'd be no summoning under the influence of this drug. It would be too painful... Too dangerous, especially after the Gloom incident.

But it wasn't necessary. This kind of power was typically reserved for a partial merging through the Emperor's Tanto, but he'd left the sacred blade and it's guardian at home in the 11th Path to ensure his safety. Instead, he came brandishing a slew of alternative weapons. Forged by his clan, each reacted strongly to Purple Lux, holding a spell's influence without effort. It kept them locked in a slow orbit around him, just out of the range of being troublesome while still being in range for him to surge one or the other forward. Two massive kanabo, a dozen kunai, four different katana: He knew things would go flying, missing, break and shatter against the enemy. Better to have backups.
Deep breaths - Uncle Takedo's voice echoed in Ken's head as he began to take a step forward. Deep breaths to let the Lux flow across his skin like rainwater against a window. With the force of a bullet, one of the kunai launched out from the barriered sections. As it flew under Ken's influence, he continuously manipulated its mass and speed until a telltale explosion told him that it broke the sound barrier. 

[color=7B81B3]"Enlighten... Send."[/color]
In that instant, Ken was gone. Ahead, in front of the whole of the assault team, the ground buckled up into a fissure as he hit the ground with the force of a jet crashing into the earth. There was a massive puff of dirt and debris filled with the limbs and pieces of the undead horde, washing the impact site in sickly brown gore. A single slash broke through the cloud, Purple Lux rushing out from behind it in a shockwave that crushed the soft and supple forms it hit before crashing into the treeline nearby. A tree cracked in half, slumping over in an equal death. 
Then it was completely dispersed: A massive purple sphere expanded across the field, creating a safe area with his defensive stance maximized for radius. Holes in the top-rear of the sphere projected his voice backward like a loudspeaker that blew over the sounds of gunshots.
[color=7B81B3][b]"I will take ground! Move up behind me!"[/b][/color]

Leon had already started to move out from where he'd been with Ruby and Jess when Ken made the next barrier ahead of them. It was a much smaller area to hide behind, but there weren't bullets flying through it, so it was safe in his eyes.
[color=C67C12]"Come on, [b]Aggro![/b] You bastards wanna live forever? Murakin's got the right idea!"[/color]
A few openings formed in the rear of Ken's barrier sphere, inviting those who needed the protection forward into his safety bubble, and the crater which it sat inside. As he waited, Ken heard Leon's loud voice behind him and nodded his head. 

[color=7B81B3]Slow, deep breaths. Slow. Deep. Breaths.[/color]
[color=7B81B3][b]"Blackmore! Doomsday!"[/b][/color]
There was a rush of fetid corpse air that rushed from the back of the sphere as Ken shouted, followed by an echo of a vortex forming. It was the housing necessary for Blackmore's hottest lightning to turn from the unconcentrated power of the sky into a fully realized miniature star. His hands were roiling the Purple Lux together, spinning the air in a trapped inner sphere that was only growing as he anticipated the inevitable heat. Anticipation, and slow. Deep. Breaths.
