Bambietta

Name:
Bambietta "Bambi" Basterbine

Age:
100s

Species:
Quincy

Gender:
Female

Personality:
Bambietta is a particularly sadistic individual, evident in how she screams in joy as she slaughters her enemies. She is not above attacking her male subordinates to vent her frustration, sometimes bringing them into her room under false pretenses before killing them without remorse. She does not believe in fighting if one has already thrown away one's life. Bambietta refers to herself as the self proclaimed "leader" between her and some of her fellow Sternritter, and dislikes being abandoned by them and finds it quite embarrassing, in such cases she explodes the nearby environment in a destructive manner and implies she will reduce the area to flat land to bring them out.

Abilities:

Ji Ekusupurōdo

The Explode (爆撃 (ジ・エクスプロード), Ji Ekusupurōdo; Japanese for "Bombing Raid"): Bambietta has the ability to create bombs. Her explosive attacks cannot be blocked because her attacks are not bombs made of Reishi; they are Reishi that turn anything they make contact with into a bomb itself. However, her attacks can be deflected before the explosion occurs if hit by a sufficient force. This ability allows for omni-directional attacks, such that Bambietta does not have to actually target an opponent and can inflict significant area damage. By using her power, Bambietta can set off explosions within her close vicinity. Additionally, she can generate explosive energy around her, which radiates outward in a large globe and causes heavy damage to her surroundings.

Reishi Manipulation: As a Quincy, she primarily absorbs spiritual energy from the atmosphere, and combines it with her own spiritual energy to form weapons. She has an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of Reishi such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo.

Immense Spiritual Power: Bambietta's spiritual power is on a level comparable to or greater than that of a captain-level Shinigami. She is powerful enough to fight several Shinigami simultaneously, including 7th Division Captain Sajin Komamura and his lieutenant, Tetsuzaemon Iba.

Bambietta's Spirit Weapon.
Reishi Sword: Using her abilities as a Quincy, Bambietta can concentrate both spirit energy and particles in order to transform them into weapons. Her favored weapon manifests in the form of a short ornate broadsword, somewhat reminiscent of a Chinese dao, with a forked blade in the style of Zulfiqar. Using this sword, she can bifurcate multiple Shinigami and their respective Zanpakutō with ease.

Bambietta: Vollständig
When this is activated, a substantial amount of Reiatsu is released, resulting in the formation of a towering column of energy that ends in a large Quincy Cross, from which Bambietta emerges in the Quincy: Vollständig after the column shatters. In this form Bambietta develops large wings and a halo in the shape of a star-like Quincy Zeichen floating above her head. According to Giselle Gewelle, because of her idiocy and the power she gains from this form, Bambietta could end the whole battle against Soul Society before it really starts.

Flight: Using the Reishi wings generated by the Vollständig, Bambietta gains the ability to fly at high speeds

The Explode (Enhanced): While using Quincy: Vollständig, orbs of Reishi form underneath her wings. She can release these Reishi spheres from her wings, sending large quantities of them into her surroundings. Any item that comes in contact with these Reishi orbs becomes a bomb and explodes after a brief delay.

Chihiro Hyūga

@Savato@Partisan@Akashi Mayhiro

Chihiro laid up in her bed, her head pounding and moving to get up, she felt warmth on her body and she raised her blanket to see a not so clothed her or Momoi "Oh fuck..." moving gently, she opened the blinds and quickly put her hands up and the blinds closed "fuck fuck fuck..." trying to move from under the girl, she moved her to the side and shook her gently "Babe..." Momoi moved and wrapped her arms around Chihiro and she sighed "alright...I can figure this one out, yeah..." looking at the ground next to the bed, there were dozens and dozens of bottles everywhere "Ah fuck..." she laid back and but a hand on her head, obviously hungover. Typically they would get wasted and then Chihiro would just sleep over there, and honestly any other day would have been fine, but Takeo was here and Momoi wasn't even suppose to be here. Looking for a towel, she wrapped it around her body and peeked her head out and Takeo was sleeping on the couch, the T.V watching him. Sighing, she went back into her room and locked the door behind her.

Looking over at Momoi, she smiled, kinda happy she was there instead of over at T's house, it was different in a way. Walking over to her, she pulled the covers over the girl and then kissed her cheek. Shortly after, she started Walking over to her bathroom and quickly began to take a shower.

Takeo woke up at the sound of a shower being run and it seemed Hajime was already in the kitchen "Seem's Chihiro awake, good I need to talk to both of you as a matter of fact about the clan and it's current situation" getting up he went into the kitchen next to Hajime and started making tea for himself, however he didn't really acknowledge the boy, simply remained quiet and waited for his tea to finish. Around the same time that Chihiro finished, Takeo stretched "let us go see her" he motioned for Hajime to follow, more of an order then a request, the boy following after him, they walked to her door and knocked.

Chihiro's eye's went wild "One second!" she quickly moved her clothes onto her bed and piled the bottles under her bed, however she missed one that she didn't see "oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck."

"Hoi, what's going on in there? What's with that noise?" Takeo twisted the knob, it being locked.

"Im trying to find my underwear, give me a second dammit!" praying that Momoi wouldn't wake up, Chihiro moved towards the door, however Takeo had already begun unlocking it and him opening it. Chihiro's foot met the bottle she forgot and was launched forward, however Takeo easily sidestepped the rapidly approaching Chihiro, however the unlucky Hajime was...well unlucky. Chihiro collided with the boy and then landed ontop of him in only her towel, adding to the embarrassment, however she hit her head in colliding with Hajime and didn't even realize the position she was in "fucking ow...you guys couldn't wait a second, I'm rash but for fucksake im a girl, and im in a towel, you could have gave me a second..." she held her head, opening her eyes and then suddenly seeing Hajime under her, her face turned red and she slapped the boy, getting up, going back into her room and slamming the door.

Takeo waited till Chihiro went back into her room, before falling back and laughing "Holy shit, that is probably one of the best things I've seen in a very long time, you're a branch member, so naturally I look down on you, but damn do I pity you, I know those slaps, they are not painless" getting up, he walked over Hajime and reached for his phone on the couch, checking it and wiping tears from his eyes after laughing so hard "well it seems I'm needed, but later, you will report to the main estate, with Chihiro preferably" he walked towards the door and left, leaving Hajime in the hallway on his back.

Katsu Hyūga

@Partisan@Renny@Raijinslayer

Katsu stood at the front of the enormous entrance gate, waiting for his team to arrive so they could begin the mission. Getting asked by Ayame was interesting enough, he understood the reason, but for something like this, they could have asked Chihiro or Hajime, or any other Hyuga for that matter, maybe a test, or they just needed a jounin to assist the team. Though looking at the rooster, Yamato and Glichi could probably handle themselves, Tatsuya for a genin was also quite strong. For something like the mission they were being sent on, it was quite interesting to see who they decided to have go on it.

But who was he to argue? Shifting through his red over coat, he looked into his overcoat pockets and pulled out his phone for a second checking it and scoffing "Takeo and Iwao are some damn fools...." closing the phone, he pulled out a red zippo and lit a cigarette before playing with the zippo. He looked down at his arm and his head band sat, he hadn't been on a mission in a long time, it just occurred to him, but ever since the whole ordeal a week prior, it seems it has been decided that he split his time teaching and leading, but with this team, it would probably be more so suggesting what they should do.

Iwao Hyūga

Iwao had rolled his sleeves up from his dress shirt and his tie was loose around his neck, looking at a book and at the sound of someone walking in, he closed it and turned to see Hajime Hyūga standing there and bowing. "Sit Hajime, I need to speak with you on a pressing matter but first-" looking at a guard who was in the room "retrieve Chihiro, I now realize it is better to have these two here while I talk about this, since it involves her as well" the guard bowed and quickly left the room "take a seat Hajime, this is going...well you shall see." He took a seat himself and they sat in the open until the guard came back, without Chihiro, looking down he bowed.

"Uh...She seems to not be on the estate grounds..." Iwao sighed and waved his hand, making the guard leave.

"This child is going to be the death of me" putting a hand through his hair, he leaned back and looked at Hajime "Well, seems like this was a good idea then. Well Hajime are your familiar from a long time ago, our clans history? Such a time from the legendary Neji and Hinata Hyūga? If you are, then I think you might understand why I called you here. As of recently, Chihiro Hyūga has been missing, as I'm sure you have found out to be the case, but she was returned recently by the 11th Corps, who as you know as of recently has been very...secretive. In the light of everything that has happened recently, I have started putting more and more guards around not only the main branch, but many of the other Hyūga branches and establishments. I need to keep our members safe, things will start to change for better or worse...anyway, Chihiro is the future heir and will likely surpass me in bringing the Hyūga as a whole to power, even I will admit that, but the reason I asked you to be summoned, is to reinstate an old pact."

Looking at him "You know what I am asking, I'm giving you an option however, you do not have to take this pact, and then you will get to live freely, in honesty I dont blame you for not accepting if that is the option you pick. But if you do, we will aid you with finance for your home, well actually that brings up another point. I'd like to ask if you would mind moving to a bigger apartment? One that would fit two people, which Im sure you can imagine why. I feel Chihiro is tired of living here, and I much rather her live with another Hyūga then her damned girlfriend...regardless if you accept, then we will pay for moving expenses, whatever apartment you pick, we'll also pay for standard living expenses, bills, food cost, the whole nine, I know this is sudden, which is why I'm giving you either option, but I do need an answer before you leave this room, how ever long it takes."

Chihiro Hyūga

Waking up in the chair, she tried to move her hands, only to feel them being restrained. Looking around, she had a rippling headache "I dont....I don't get any of what's going on..." she tried regaining what she had seen from her half conscious self only to be more and more confused. Then her mind went to Gin "Oh fuck, no no no no no, we didn't leave him, there's no way right? We wouldn't leave Gin, I wouldn't leave Gin..." she struggled even more in anger and frustration, before gritting and screaming out in anger "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON! WHY AM I BEING RESTRAINED!" receiving no answer, she remained still, thinking about the situation "I agreed to be on this mission, but from my understanding, I was sent to be a retriever for something that would help the Leaf. There was no mission to better the lives of the Hidden Leaf, there was only retrieve that damned talisman, that he just broke....all that death for fucking nothing?" she laughed "Alright, I see how things will be then..." upon listening, she heard someone enter the room and then turn on the lights to reveal she was in a standard interrogation like room. The lights suddenly blinding, Saburo Uchiha appeared, with rice in a bowl for her.

“Good afternoon Chihiro-senpai. I am here to discuss with you your latest endeavours, leaving the village without an official mission statement. I have several questions for you, to make sure that Konoha stays protected and that we will not be put at the blame of any of the wrong doings during your escape from the village.”

“Question one. Why did you leave the village without an official mission statement from the former Hokage, or the appointed jonin commander or hokage's assistant?”

“Question two. Who was with you during your escape from Konohagakure?”

“Question three. What did you do during your escape from Konohagakure?”

“Question four. Where is Gin Kakiyama? Witnesses state that they saw him leaving with you in a fancy, large limousine. He didn't return with you.”

“Question five. What happened during your escape from Konohagakure?”

“Final question. Why did you choose to return to Konohagakure, without Gin Kakiyama, and without official mission statement? Did you not know you could've been branded a missing nin for this endeavour?”

"Lets cut the bullshit Saburo, I answer the questions, I get to leave. Answer one. I did not choose to leave, I was told to leave by Junshiro, and so we left. Answer two. As I told you and i'm sure you aware, Gin Kakiyama and Junshiro, who I am going to assume is the same as you. Answer three. I completed what was thought to be a mission. Answer four, Gin Kakiyama is assumed to be dead. Answer five. Men about the rank of jounin, attacked me, Gin and Jun, they proceeded to try and kill us, in hopes of getting my eyes. I did not choose to return with Gin, why are you playing this bullshit game Saburo, you know better then I do, that that is not how it went down, why don't you go and ask Junshiro? Im sure the bastard would love to tell you that he, she, whatever gender the fuck they are, knocked me out and proceeded to leave, then left me on the ground, to which people came and took me. I assume that is why I am here now, and now that leads me to assume that the reason I am missing is because I am here, now cut the bullshit, I answered your questions, now fuck off" she leaned back in her chair and blew hair out her face. Saburo got up to leave with no words and two men came in, uncuffing her. Pushing the rice off the table, she crossed her arms and stared at the mirror that was in the room. Before long she was taken back home, to which she was told to stay put.

The Hyūga

Change in The Hyuuga

Iwao smiled at the look from Kaito, and continued to listen to the others, before it was time to conclude the meeting "Well then, I will see you all in do time, however I would like to say one thing, and that is to all of you, Ayame and Fujitora have done something that is borderline treason, but many of us, including myself, have sided with them, knowing that fact. And why is that? I know why the Hojo have, because they're new, and I have many things to clean up, so Im not in such a position, that I can say much other then to side with the two, but many of you do have influence and even higher then that, power. So it leads me to ask, more of a rhetorical question, just to think about, why is it you sided with them so easily?" standing, he put his hands in his pocket "It was a pleasure, but time is money as they say, we shall most likely see each other again soon" he gave a slight bow, before turning and moving towards the door, with Katsu on the phone.

Once outside, Katsu lit a cigarette and offered one to Iwao, who looked down and shrugged, taking it and lighting it. Once getting into the car that pulled up, silence filled it until Katsu spoke. "Iwao, you don't really mean to side with Aya-" Iwao put a hand up, stopping Katsu from continuing. Tapping on the center console, he leaned against, the screen located in it, flashed on. Quickly tapping away, the lights seemed to turn a blueish hue and the windows seem to grow darker.

"We shall not speak of this outside of this car. But...no, of course not, however there are many things that cannot be said in the presence of that boy, or the others. It occurred to me during my decisions making choice, that many of them would not go against the curve, out of fear that many of the clans would side with Ayame, which, in this case, did happen. I cannot risk the Hyuuga, not yet and nor shall it be soon, but I do not agree with Ayame or Fujitora in any shape. And you? You sided with Fujitora as easily as I said I sided with the two siblings, when the time comes, and it shall come, does this mean you shall side with them against your kin?" he rolled the window down and threw the cig out, before rolling it back up and putting a hand through his hair. Katsu remained quiet "If that is the case, then you know what has to happen correct?"

"I understand Iwao, I did not know how to say it because it is in fact insane, but now that I know your true motive, it is not far from my own motives. I have given Fujitora my word, I will stand by him no matter what choice he makes. However i've made this promise under hopes I can bring intel into a plan I have been formulating, we will talk about this later, but there is a more pressing issue to talk about" he put his cig into the ashtray and lit another one "Chihiro."

Iwao looked out the window at the rain "That child...the only heir and my greatest child, a half breed, if it wasn't for how strong I am, the Hyuuga would see me as a joke" he looked at his watch, then back to Katsu "Has there been any word of her? Any of her where abouts? nothing?" as Katsu went to answer, Iwao received a call "What is it?....speak of the damn devil, alright keep her in my room room, me and Katsu will talk to her" he got off the phone and his leg tapped.

"She's back?" Iwao nodded "I suppose we should bring back the boy? Things are different now..."

"Yes."

Upon arrival, Katsu and Iwao quickly left the car and traveled through the gate of the estate. Walking, they quickly went to the debriefing room and Chihiro sat in a chair, her arms crossed. Upon hearing the door open, she stood and bowed. Iwao walked to her first, touching her shoulder "I am sorry father! I di-" Iwao moved her up and sat her down, Katsu patting her shoulder and then leaning up against the wall. The guards left and closed the door, before Iwao tapped on the giant screen table and pressed in codes, making the room go into a lock down of sorts.

"Tell me what happened, all of it, every detail must be said."

Thirty Minutes later

"I see...then I will assume whatever was on that talisman, was something they did not want anyone to know about" looking at Katsu, he began to explain what had happened while she had missed, her eyes grew wide and sudden anger seemed to well deep from within her "There are so many things that should have gone differently father, we cannot stand still and let this hap-" he put his hand up and she leaned back in her chair, hands in lap.

"I understand your anger child, but let us think about the situation at hand, as it stands, no one seems willing, at least from what it appears like, to stand agains them, nor would that be a smart idea on our part. Get your head out of your ass and think girl, this will take time, and time alone. There is only so much that can happen at this moment and things need to be put into place, plans need to be made. This will be the only time we talk about this until I call you two again, now Katsu im sure you have things you need to do, Chihiro, get some rest, you've just got back from a mission, and no trouble, it's already been tiring as is, understood? Good"tapping the table, the room let light back into it and he left. Katsu sighed and went to touch Chihiro's shoulder, but she swatted his hand away.

"I am not in the mood for your talks Uncle..."

"Fair enough little one, here" tossing her a phone "seems a lot of stuff you had are gone, knew you'd probably wanted to talk to that girlfriend of yours, go get some rest Kiddo."

Looking at her phone, she was left in the room by herself and she brought her legs up to her chest, putting her face in her lap. She...she began crying, silent tears and shaking from sadness. The toll of what had happened on the mission and losing Fi and now Gin, finally hit her. Calling Momoi, she instead went to leave a voice message, her voice shaky "Hey...babe? I know you're probably busy right now, but when you're not...I uh...nevermind, it's not serious, im just being weird" she laughed through her tears ans sniffled, before looking up, wiping tears from her eyes "I'll catch you later alright babe? Just calling to say im back" hanging up, she put the phone on the table and sat in silence for a little while.

Fujitora Choko - Katsu Hyūga

Two Friends ~ Yesterday

Katsu watched the man quickly jump up, after the rain had started and sighed "Rain...why is it always rain with the damn people..." getting flashbacks of things that had happened earlier in his life, he threw his cigarette down and stomped it out. Jumping up after him, they landed at Ayame's? Fuji's? home and Fuji quickly went inside, motioning for him to come in. Taking his shoes off, he ran a hand through his wet hair and stepped inside, putting his shoes down and catching the towel. Taking off his coat and hanging it, he put the towel over his head and laughed "Hey Fuji, do you remember that one time, when we had to deal with the bandit nin outside the village and one of them used a rain jutsu? Remember what we did to those guys?" walking into living room, he sat down and sighed "times fly eh?" he called out to Fuji as he heard the guy shuffling around in the kitchen, before bringing to tea out.

With Katsu getting accustomed to his surroundings, Fujitora would pour some tea into a small cup presented before the couch he'd be invited to sit on. The ex commander sat himself comfortably on the opposing singular chair before pouring himself the same, burning hot tea he had given to his long time friend. As the blonde man recollected the events brought upon by the Hyuuga, he took a quick sip of said mint tea to test just how hot it really was. His brief drink would translate quite the level of heat indeed.

"We killed them. They were belligerent."

He responded rather coldly, but he was obviously holding back on something. His gaze was obviously betraying him to that point as it seemed like he was about to complete the rest of the story after a second sip, a much longer one this time.

"Killed them with seven pints of Kumo Beer, that is. Assholes were already all rosey like pigs when we found 'em, so the nearest pub surely did the job, aye?"

He added a bit of laughter at the end of his humorous comeback, the tone of the discussion finally being established. For now Fujitora still considered the man to be his friend, probably a major advantage given the situation. The casual Fuji was in the house, for now.

Laughing to tears, Katsu wiped tears from his eyes and leaned his head back looking at the ceiling "Ah...man that was a fun time in our lives, now everything is all...what's the word? Adult? I mean I guess that would imply that I'm capable of being an adult in that sense, but hey where's the fun in that right?" pulling out a pack of cigarettes "Do you mind?"

Pulling out his trademark silver lighter, he'd righteously light it and approach it to the smoke Katsu was going to pull out as Fujitora nodded in acceptance. With that done, he picked a smoke out of the Hyuuga's pack and served himself, after all it was his crib.

"Being a adult doesn't mean jack shit if you're going to make a fuss about everything. Or if you're going to resist change with every left turn."

His attitude from casual to downright confronting was rather staggering, the brutal shift being more than just visible by observation but his tone gave off an intimidating warning that Katsu was going to venture in something that wouldn't be all fun and pubs. He'd inhale a puff of smoke as he lit his own chosen cigarette and proceeded to do as his friend did.

"Easy there cap'n no need to go all intimidation on me, I came here cause I'm your friend, remember? Ah that reminds me, remember those Hidden Sand girls? I know I do, guess what I got in my mail yesterday, a letter from the one I was talking to in the bar and she was asking me when I was gunna come back, and the worst part is I forgot her name up until now...and then at the end she signed it and it clicked in my head, you get any letters from yours?"

He took a drag of his cig, and blew out slowly, the smoke reminding him of times when he was a little younger and didn't have as many responsbilities "I wonder if I had become Hyuga clan leader, if things would be hugely different...who am i kidding of course they would be..." take another drag, he put his cig into the ashtray and took his tea, looking around at the house "thanks for the tea, by the way."

"Cut the crap. Suna, drinking, whatever, we both know it's bullshit in the end. Look, we had a little laugh, we're still friends, now we do business. You wanted answers, I await your questions, Katsu."

Fujitora crushed the searing tip of his cigarette against the ashtray just as he strated to smoke it, evidently no longer in the mood for some beating around the bush. He'd however take another sip from his tea and feel his nerves slowly release in pressure, his appearance looking a little less intimidating than it did beforehand.

Katsu shrugged, putting his tea down, and took another cig out, lighting it and smoking once again "Well Fuji, looks like a casual conversation wont be happening, truth be told we haven't talked in a long time, but I guess that's for another time" sitting up and putting his elbows on his legs, he bent over and looked at Fuji.

"You know what my questions are, they stand like they did before, you and your sister preach for power, and I have loyality to many things in this village, My brother, my Clan, you and this village, and my biggest concern is teaching the youth, because well...I'm a teacher and that's what I do, care for the youth, the younger generation."

Taking another drag "Listen Fuji, I want to make it clear, I will follow you because I trust your judgement, and because I am your friend, at least I hope, but my questions stand, with what you're talking about, this whole persona you've seemed to have stirred up, I cannot say that it does not exist, that Konoha is at a point in time, that peace has been a bigger picture. I can agree with your sister, Konoha is but a shell of what it was, but my I ask why this has become such a problem, that you decided to take it into your own hands in this way? Looking around at what has been built, does making a show out of killing the Hokage, send the right message? That this will be for the better, for the change of Hidden Leaf? Does showing that by killing people who stand for another purpose show to the younger generation? I know, they aren't dumb and they will make their own choices, but showing that you can kill someone to change something drastically like this, shows to the younger children that killing is something without meaning."

As Katsu approached his tobacco charged breath by leaning forward, Fujitora leaned back against his leather throne and let the Hyuuga speak his mind and essentially repeat what's been said previously. The blonde man took a second to collect himself and as he'd respond, he'd get off his chair and head toward the nearby window where the rain poured itself against it. He'd stare through said window and captured the view of Konoha drenched in the merciless endless rain of Amegakure. What a wonderful sight it was.

"His death is a symbol. A symbol that cannot be interpreted any other way than how it's been recorded right now. History will not forget the moment peace was refuted once more ever since the Orange Hokage's reign. We are not afraid to show what we stand for, and because of that we're not afraid to show our very bloody nature to the seeds of the future."

He'd turn to face Katsu, picking up a cigarette of his own out of his back pocket and lit it up before resuming his charged speech.

"How does it make you feel that people like Reijo Minamoru, nobodies that exploit the system, are almost at the peak of honor your clan barely holds ever since Mariko, huh? A bunch of nobodies, now exploiting the system made for people like this. These. These ... Scum."

He grimaced at the end of his rant, slowly accumulating in emotional intensity. After that he'd take a large chunk out of his cigarette and kept it in for a brief moment before releasong the majority in one go. He was pretty anxious from the thoughts he was having, but he sure did look passionate at this point.

"Only in this so-called 'peace' can thieves and barbarians can be bought to such a high prestige. Despicable."

"All I am saying Fuji, is that teaching a child that violence is the only course of action, is not healthy in any ways, it shows that the only way to win is violence and we both know that's not tru-"

"Just stop it. We're Shinobi for the Sage's sake. We kill for a living and say it was for the best after waving our Konoha morals here and there. We chose violence because no other way worked with Zeno who happened to have the same kind of tone as you're having, you see. And what did it bring? Your mother was exiled like she was some kind of abomination, and we give this Kumo asshole a death in the battlefield. That's a million times more honorable and worthy of the youth's attention."

"Careful what you say about that woman Fuji, she is not someone I compare myself to because of the obvious reasons, mentioning her only opens wounds that did not need to be reopened. As for your reasoning for interrupting me, while we are shinobi, and i understand what you mean, but what I am trying to say is, violence can hopefully be rid with from the world of the shinobi in a world that is perfect, and I know that it cant be obtained, however if we teach the younger ones, if we show the youngers ones that we can solve things in more then one way of violence that is one step towards that ideal place, because I don't know about you Fuji, but I am tired of watching some of my students, some of my comrades, some of my friends and family, die."

Stopping himself from getting too passionate "From the beginning, I've never been so prideful about my clan, do i like the fact that someone like Reijo has damn near the same power as the Hyuga do, no of course not, but to call him scum is a whole new level of hatred that I just do not feel, I would like him to be behind bars Fuji, but I don't not wish him dead, and not because im a peace loving tree huger, but because there are other ways of dealing with him, know what I mean. Listen Fujitora, I dont mean to argue, I just wanted an understanding before I choose what to do with the situation at hand, I understand your points better then you just killing the Hokage, so I will go on to say-" putting out his cig, he looked at the man "I will follow you in whatever you do Fuji, I hope you understand what that means old friend."

Chuckling a bit, Fujitora wasn't too pleased with what he was hearing before Katsu's strange accordance with the ex commander's actions. this seemed rather off given the ideals he was bearing and the way he saw his mother.

"If both Ayame and I saw no other option, there wasn't another option, Katsu. You know this very well."

He added before walking back to the small table where his tea got a bit cold, but he finished it anyway with a couple of sips and gulps.

"But I have high hopes for this new path Konoha is taking. Your help will be invaluable."

Standing up, he walked past Fuji and patted his shoulder "Just realize, you might have sparked the wrong type of heat from other nin Fuji, you know where to find me, and now I guess that I have said what I said, I'm gunna be found a lot, being an adult eh?" he joked and went to the front, putting his jacket and walking out.

Chihiro Hyūga

Chihiro looked back at Jun, as they grabbed her shoulder and looked back at the hand then to Jun's face. "We aren't going to leave Gin to die Jun, if this situation had been reversed, if I was in there hands, would you leave me? If yes then so be it, but the fact that I know the answer would be that you would still sacrifice Gin, to save me, means you value my life above his and that is no way of thinking about a comrade Jun. He might not do his job, but Gin is a ninja of the hidden leaf and in turn, we cannot leave him here, even if it is to retrieve his body, I cannot lose more friends Jun. Are you really, really okay with leaving Gin, please say no, please say that doesn't sit right with you, I understand there's a mission at stake, but he's out team member and we cant just leave him out to get tortured or worse killed. I dont know about you but that will be on my already fucked conscious, now come on, we don't have time to argue about thi-"

Stopping she heard Gin speak through his communicator and she stopped not understanding. Talking back into the headset unaware he wasn't going to respond back "Hoi, mother fucker you don't have a right to speak back at me, the fuck are you going on about I'm going to be dead to you. Don't you dare speak to me about doing a job, my job right now is making sure we all get out of this alive, don't you ever try to tell me different Gin" using her Byakugan, she searched for Gin and saw the dumbass try to fight the obviously superior nin, only to be swept up in an attack "You fucking dumbass! What the fuck is with you two? Do neither of your lives mean anything to you?" tears welled in her eyes "all because they want my fucking eyes..." wiping her eyes "alright...if that's how it's gunna be then, then so be it, the dumbass wants to be a hero, then he's going to be the dumbest fucking hero ever, and you" looking at Jun "this now means I am doing what you tell me, at some point, I hope you'll return the favor" running past her, she didn't care if Jun was following, she was quickly just trying to get away from the situation that happened behind her.

"Why do people like to put me up on a pedestal? I haven't done anything, I am a Hyuga yes, but does that mean I am higer then them? No, I'm a person in a team just like them, to me everyone is important, everyone plays a part. Because one person doesn't follow their part, doesn't make them useless..." she stopped and took a breath "I won't let this fucking happen again, people are not going to sacrifice themselves for my sake, or the sake of a damn mission..." expecting Jun to be near her, however speaking into the headset just in case "So what's your plan Jun."

Katsu Hyūga

Tea House Meeting- Current Day

In the car towards the tea house, Iwao looked at Katsu who was smoking "Hoi, dont smoke in the tea hous-"

"Yeah im very aware little brother, dont forget who taught you those values that you hold so dear" Katsu put out the cig and looked at him "Do you know what you're going to say? Seeing as you have only discussed this with Sis and not anyone else, which is going to lead me to to ask, are you going to ever include me and Takeo on things? I understand you dont like me and what not, but Takeo follows you religiously, I would expect you to at least respect our little brother's opinion and go to him for advise Iwao."

Iwao glared at him, before sighing and putting a hand on his temple "Katsu, have you seen the shape im in, my face is old, my hair is getting grey, people think im over 45, being clan leader is beyond a stressor. I dont have time to ask every single persons opinion on the situation at hand, as this has only happened within a couple of hours, this is why I have Koyuki to help me. I now understand why you didn't take this burden and I have to say, I wish I didn't either, I miss looking young...the fact that people think I am older then you also is quite funny..."

"Yes it is, but it does have it's perks." The car pulled up to the tea house and Iwao, then Katsu got out. Walking in, no one seemed to take the seat at the end, and Iwao took it, staring at the others as the meeting unfolded. Wearing his typical attire, Katsu wore a suit with the Hyuga crest on the shoulder, as there was also on on Iwao's jacket. Listening to the people speak before taking his time to talk. "It is a pleasure to be here today, always good to see faces every now and then and relatively new ones" he nodded towards the Hōjō and continued "After considering your points, The Hyūga, has decided to stay side with Ayame" Katsu looked at Iwao, conceling how shocked he was that Iwao of all people actually condoned the idea of Ayame being Hokage "I have many reasons to side with her, but the biggest one, is that the Hyuga are dealing with problems, going against the Hokage however, is not a smart idea for us right now. The Hyuga are one of the oldest clans sitting at this table as of right now, however after...Hokage Mariko, our name has been...well tarnished somewhat and that is quite obvious. I would also like to point out, we do not approve of what Ayame or her brother did, in any shape or form, killing and coup in such a way is in no form acceptable to us. As for the matter of them being foreign village nin, I do not have an opinion on such a matter, as to my knowledge, and check me if I am wrong, The Hidden leaf is quite diverse regardless and saying that they dont belong is well...in my opinion not very politically correct Kaito, we do in fact have a couple of foreign ninja in this very room, that is all on my side."

Katsu stood next to Iwao "I agree with my little brother, I am here in place of Chihiro Hyuga who is missing, as most of you know since before the coup, so if you don't mind me giving my opinion as our clans representative. I do not in any shape or form agree with what happened yesterday, I have had a conversation with Fujitora Choko after the matter as well to better grasp why he and his sister has done what they have. I will however follow Fujitora Choko, because of my friendship with the man, I have come to realize Fujitora Choko would not have killed Zeno if he had no other option, in his eyes, yes he did not, in mine there could have been many other ways of approaching it, but a coup does catch more then enough attention. However, where I stand is with Fujitora and as such Ayame," Inside he silently beat himself up "Man I hope people don't hate me because of this lie..."

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky (Full for the time being)

<Snipped quote by AgentFallenSoul>

Well pretty sure Sky means they're telepathically connected, would that connection be severed?

@Zombehs

Statement still stands, telepathically, they'll be able to hear the person outside of the dumb, but will be unable talk back

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky (Full for the time being)

<Snipped quote by AgentFallenSoul>
Can I specify that question in regards to Ruu's The Pack? They are kind of a hive-mind and she could potentially send them out to scout ahead. Would that connection be cut once one of them is inside?

@Skyswimsky

The people inside would be able to hear, but not be able to talk back, the side outside of the dome would hear static

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky (Full for the time being)

<Snipped quote by KoL>

B-b-but...

<Snipped quote by AgentFallenSoul>

Although it does read that Eos arrived after Ikkime said that... still Ikkime and Eleanor did completely ignore Zane.

@AgentFallenSoul Also I take it, it's impossible to see what happens after someone enters the dark dome, if entering is even possible? Like they're just blotted out by the darkness?

@Zombehs

SORRY! I was really trying to get that post out, in the next post Ikkime will talk to Zane, and as for the second question, it's a pure black dome, you can enter but cant leave, and one your skin touches it, you get pulled in

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky (Full for the time being)

just for clarification, the dome has expanded well past the headquarters, enough for anyone not trapped inside, to at least notice it

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky (Full for the time being)

???(SS Rank)

She stood standing watching the little place swarming with the cancerous beings that were chasers. Behind her, a shadowy monster stood on all fours behind her, breathing hard and she tapped her hand on her thigh "I could just...blow it up, I mean that would be easier right? No? Dont talk much do you?" she looked back at the monster, which simply bowed and laid down, completely showing that the women had dominance over the beast. "Fucking useless sometimes..." squatting, her eyes watched the chasers headquarters thinking of some fun idea of how to destroy the place in an entertaining way.

"Well now. Aren't you interesting."

The voice came from the girl's side, having not been there the moment before. Its tone withheld no emotion, and yet, revealed the entire spectrum of component thinking. Had the girl turned to the side, she would have seen a very peculiar figure standing next to her. He wore a dark outfit with white hair crowning his head. But that wasn't what striked his appearance to be odd.

The man turned to the girl to reveal a mask that covered his face. Two eyes that reflected the color of the Crimson Sky gazed back into the girl, the sclera a gray coloration. The man tilted his head once, as if studying the girl before seeing right through her. If he was fazed at all by the massive shadow beast that stood on guard for the woman's protection, he did not show it.

"You are Ikkime Oi, yes? I want to tell you that your presence here is....interesting."

She looked to the side, looking the man up and down "I don't know who you're talking about, Ikkime is my first name but my last name changed....a long long time ago, so if you don't mind telling me how you know my real name, I wont kill you, or this building, with you in it" calmly said, she looked back at the chaser headquarters, ready if the man decided to pick a fight.

"I know who you are because you are you," the man answered calmly."As for the building, its interests do not interest me. You, however, are an interesting example. A living study."

The masked man moved closer now, his concealed visage mere inches away from Ikkime's. An impossible case for an impossible scenario. The mysterious figure waited for a response of answer of some kind.

The shadow beast behind them now, stood up and it howled, suddenly, ten or more of them began rising from the shadows, still looking at the headquarters, she laughed "Start making sense, or those things wont be so nice as Im being."

Once more, the man was unaffected by the summoned creature, who had now multiplied to many more spawn. The masked man spared a single glance at them before turning to Ikkime.

"It would seem we are at an impasse. Your stubbornness never changes, even as a refuge. You shouldn't be here Ikkime Oi. And yet, here you are. I can see it even now. You will attempt to kill me, only to realize the futility in your actions. In doing so, you have only gauged my interest more so for you. However..."

The man's eyes gleamed for a fraction of a mere moment.

"I can see clearly your connection to the existence calling herself Lucille Ferris."

At the mention of her spouse Ikkime stopped smiling and thinking of destroying the headquarters. Standing, her body seemed to be outlined with a purplish black, her eyes seemingly getting darker "You, who do you think you are, to utter that persons name?" she stepped forward and moved closer to his face, looking into his eyes.

The beast all howled and moved towards her and the man "If I break that mask of yours, who am I going to find behind it?"

"I am nothing. Yet, I am everything. And anything."

The man once more stared at the woman with unreadable intent. With one swift motion, he walked forward, passing right through Ikkime as well as any attacks her hounds wanted to throw at him. He stood at the edge of the roof now, staring at the sky, before turning back to the woman.

"Though I suppose it would make it more convenient for you to call me by a title. Very well then. You may address me as...the Jester of the Court."

Moving or rather...gliding across the floor of the roof, she moved past her beasts and towards him "I know what I choose to believe is what is dearest to me, I know what there are dimensions, I know that someone has to be responsible for all of them, when you say you're everything, are you to say that you are that person? A god? and if that's the case why are you here right now, and why am i not to suppose to be here?"

"Those questions mean nothing to me," the Jester said dismissively. "But your existence is a unique one. I am here because I will it to be. You are here because you are lost, separated from Lucille Ferris. Well....would you like to see her again?"

She snapped and more of the beast started to appear, this time, more then thirty appeared on this roof and the a dozen or so on the other, she looked back at them and then to the man "Do I want to see my love? After this long, my I ask why you appeared now?" she turned and stood in the middle of her beast putting one about the size of a house, while the others relatively were around the size of a pickup truck.

"Do what I brought you here for" the biggest beast bowed again, before howling and running of the other side of the building, the one facing the headquarters, the sixty or so beasts, also jumped off and into the air, forming a darkness that no one inside the headquarters would be able to see in the pure of night. Ikkime waved her hand and turned, as an enormous dark dome formed over the building the headquarters was in and the surrounding buildings. This amplified the monsters power now barreling in a wave of shadows towards the shop. Anyone within the dome would have a hard time seeing without a source of light and even then it would only allow them to only so far in the dark.

"You're very persistent in your methods," the Jester observed. "But all the same, your situation is a unique case. Why would Ikkime Oi willingly kill Chasers, the very people you once worked for and considered family. But above all else..."

The Jester was gone from sight, now appearing beside Ikkime once more. While the chaos flamed all around them, he stood still as always. His red eyes gleamed in the night's darkness. The wheels of fate were turning ever more.

"Isn't it interesting that there are now two of you, Ikkime Oi?"

"Because I am not Ikkime Oi, have no been a long time..." hearing him talk about the other one, the one that she use to be like, she turned again and started walking towards the dome to watch inside "If you know that, then you know my answer to that, Jester..." she looked back "You wont stop me will you? If not, then why are you here." Turning she saw that he was gone and she nodded "Interesting indeed..."

Ikkime Oi & Eleanor O'Brien

Ikkime was in the back with Eleanor, and Eos, making tea and cutting rapidly and skillfully slices of things and making platters for the now quickly apparent people in the headquarters. Eleanor sat on the counter top and whistled, skinning fruits and looking at Ikkime and Eos in silence, Ikkime used her power and purple aura tails appeared, helping her work with the food and carry them "Alrighty Eos! Ill be out there, you gonna stay with me of or her?" she looked back at Eleanor who was still peeling fruits.

"Ill come and help serve, Ill be back E-Sama" she jumped off and walked after the purple tails holding trays of tea and treats varying with what she had. Upon entering the room, she saw everyone for the most part was talking, Eleanor went over to the window and looked outside at the darkness of the outside "It's...so dark sis....yeah it is weir-"

"Hoi Eleanor, help me please!, hiya, Im Ikkime Oi, one of the resident senior chasers, did I hear SSS rank mission being wanted?" she looked at some of the people who had begun forming plans "Well we have a couple senior chasers on deck so, if you want it, ask one of them, including me and my sister" she nodded off to Eleanor who held her hands behind her back and bowed slightly. She started to hand off tea, till her ears started picking up noise outside. "Hey Eleanor, wanna go check that out for me?" Eleanor already ahead of her, moved towards the door and went outside. Suddenly, the outside seemed to be completely pitch black, the street lights that had been shining seemed to disappear and then Eleanor could not be seen.

Putting all the tray's down, she quickly formed a spear "Kusa-Chan, sound the alarm, we're under attack, it's her again! Everyone else, I need you to prepare yourselves for a fight, a hard one, this is the SS rank, she wont show herself, but her power...it's dangerou-" Eleanor got thrown through the window and slid to a halt on the floor.

Getting up and brushing herself off, she opened her hand, a huge scythe appearing, looking at everyone, armor had appeared and an eye patch over her eye "Well what the fuck are yall waiting for? Get your asses in gear god dammit!" one of the shadow beast jumped through the window and she grabbed it with her hand, by the neck. "You see this thing?" slamming it into the ground "It's what we like to call, a pain in the ass little fucker, you cant kill them, only make them disappear for a little, before they return. Only way to make them disappear, is-" the beast tried to struggle, before Eleanor, or rather Lilith, pulled it's head from it's body and threw it back into the darkness of outside. The body seemed to go misty and dissipate into the air, but outside dozens and dozens of howls were heard "Oh, and don't let them slice you, it will infect you and you will go mad until we can take you to a chaser hospital" she jumped back into the darkness outside and Ikkime sighed.

"Light wont work out there, so try to stick together alright everyone?" she looked at them, before her body was completely engulfed in purple and took on the shape of a fox humanoid shape, roaring, she jumped into the outside and disappeared leaving the others.
