Natrelmon: From the Ashes

Sagralia would seed again as Chu rolled to the right before firing its Effigy of Despair - it would do nothing, as Chu had not started running at that point, but it would briefly obscure Sagralia long enough for it to fire three Effigy of Fear, one directly at Chu, and the other two in such a fashion that they would be five feet to the left and right respectively from his current position as soon as they reached where he would have been as they were fired. As Chu came forwards, another Effigy of Despair began charging. In order to get close, he would have to walk within the range of Sagralia's point blank attack, and though he was resistant, it would provide the desired effect of creating Nox Aeterna. Itsuki remained observant, and ready to react to any sudden movements from Chu, and as always, actions were ready to be changed at a moment's notice if the conditions changed.

Natrelmon: From the Ashes

"I already have." came the reply as Sagralia moved into action. The Spirit Bond allowed the two to communicate without words, and throughout the entire exchange battle plans had been forming in Itsuki's mind - though they had been very general and of little use until Axel had brought Chu out. The shadowy aura that naturally surrounded Sagralia was intensified, indicating that it was charging a move, and it began by firing a single Effigy of Loathing headed directly for Chu. Simultaneously, it sowed seeds, and prepared its Trinity Force, currently with the elements Tide, Tide and Stream. The battle would be somewhat unexciting to begin with, for Sagralia's style was one of winning a war of attrition, and it was at the start that they were weakest. In order to do much, Itsuki reasoned that Chu would have to be extremely aggressive immediately, which could backfire if he was not careful. It would be a good test of Axel's mettle.

"If you'd like, I'll be happy to help you warm up for Anastasia. I'm afraid my Natrelmon are considerably higher than yours in strength, it seems like..." He smiled, laughing a little as he pointed to his Sakura-oh and his Sagralia stood next to him. The two Natrelmon were obviously protective of their trainer and were very imposing despite their floral nature. It was also immediately obvious that the bond between them transcended words, and that Itsuki would be a rather challenging opponent for Axel. Perhaps that was what he wanted.

"I'm a very skilled mage, so it's understandable that you'd rather it just be Natrelmon - that's fine with me, though. I'll make a temporary Arena for us, to better simulate the conditions of the Arena proper." He added, before using a combination of his Frostburn Pillars and Pillars of Winter to create two platforms for them each to stand on, and a square arena forty feet long in each direction. There would be plenty of room for each Natrelmon to move, and while the Arena was only six or so feet tall, it provided a good approximation of the bounds that Axel would face in Anastasia's arena.

"If you fall from the pillars, you lose the battle. If your Natrelmon exit the Arena, you lose the battle. Ready?" He added, prompting either Sakura-oh or Sagralia, whichever Axel wished to battle, to take their place in the Arena.

"Itsuki Mayoi." He nodded, returning the handshake with a polite if slightly reluctant grip, and standing up to stretch his legs. If Axel was a new trainer, he'd probably be wanting to practice before he challenged the arena, but that was a decision Itsuki would leave to Axel - if he wanted to, he would ask. If not, he would simply go to face the... Seemingly innocent leader of Toran's Arena. She was very enthusiastic about asking people if they'd seen her Tibearius - she was notoriously forgetful and clumsy - but Itsuki doubted the ability of Axel to help her find her Tibearius if he missed the giant red lettering on the building.

"The Arena is over there, easily identifiable by the big red lettering on the building that says: "Toran Arena". I take it you're new to these parts." Itsuki replied, laughing off the... Less prudent nature of the new fellow. He looked fairly cold, as if he'd just come from around Relin, so he was willing to give Axel the benefit of the doubt - but whether or not Anastasia would be a challenge for him was a different matter entirely.

"I heard she's a lot tougher than Kiken, the old Arena Master, was. Good luck!"

Natrelmon: From the Ashes

Itsuki was sat in Toran square, having returned from Rebena with the rest of the crew. He, personally, didn't remember much of what had happened - in the process of the Tree of Redemption easing his pain, it had dulled his perception of some of the memories of what happened. All he knew is that a massive black tiger had been released from a massive portal inside Rebena, and that Kimlee had died, but had been returned to her body by the Tree, at least, until the Ghost King regained his power from releasing Dark Byakko unto the world. Everyone had been teleported out by the benevolent tree, and it was almost like the entire trip was a dream half-remembered - though he knew that everyone else had had that dream too.

It was good to have returned to the land of the living, and for now, all he could think about was how sweet air devoid of mist smelled.

I just updated Akaritori - Put her in a hider, and fixed her weapon. xD Forgot I'd not updated it. T_T

Also, gave her two more jutsu corresponding to that weapon. C:

Then they would be told that defending the accused is a crime whose punishment is death, and the respective villages will be demanded to extradite the offending parties so they can be punished for the crimes.

Obviously I'm only executing the Iwagakure genin that participated, and that's only if the General doesn't accept full responsibility. If you weren't from my village, it wouldn't be execution. :P

Perhaps not, Durn, but it's not like we can't have a constructive conversation about it regardless. We can both learn things from looking at it with a different perspective.
