| The two of them have been traveling for several hours, keeping up a good pace and making good time. Armen spent most of the trip pondering on the work load he is leaving behind with his assistant. Seems a bit unfair to have left all that work for her to do , but he needed to handle a few inquiries that required personal attention. Its been hours since Armen had said anything to Kris, this was possibly the longest that he has remained quiet around her. Realizing that he had forgotten that she was even there; he'd look towards her direction and then think about the last thing they spoke about. " ERhmm.. so... u realleh hadnt hurd much bout ma old team eh? I though ya surely wulda met mah blood alreadeh. Deci is a real trip ya kno. U wuld realleh like em. " He'd give her a smile as his mind would drift onto Himiko. At that moment his eyes would fall to the ground and he would have a lingering smile. A very genuine smile telegraphing the happiness in his heart about her. She's someone very special to Armen, but he cant seem to find the words to describe her. Its really been a long time, over two years to be exact but alot has happened since then. For one, Armen didnt have long hair back then. All he could remember was the way she made him feel. Maybe it was for the best that he couldnt say much, she probably isnt the same anyway. "ey Peewee, ya wanna hear a story?" | |

| Kris had faded herself in to her own world after a while of silence, looking down to her hands and the crystals she formed there. Having found herself engrossed in a story the past week, she found herself forming the crystals into a dragon, leaping between her hands back and forth, both to keep her entertained but also to practise such fine control. She looked up when Armen finally spoke again after a while, "Oh, well... yeah I know about your brother. Deci-... Decimus was it? But no, you don't speak much about..." She trailed off when seeing his expression, hands dropping as she got closer to walk besides him. "A story? Why not," | |

| Armen waited for her permission to share a story of when he and his team were still known as Team 6. He'd keep the pace and keep his awareness up while he takes a small trip to the past. " wen i wus a jit i neva knew mah pops" Armen goes into the story of his father, at least the one told to him by his sister Ludacrisa. - Spoiler:
Mother: "Im pregnant!" Father: "U dun gav me anotha angel, ma world ,ma babeh girl. *takes her hand* I aint gunna go no where . i funna stay rit here by yo side raisin dem kids like a gud fatha!"
Mother: " oh my God baby! thats soo sweet! I love you! * kisses* What should we name them?" Father: "Dem? u mean one baby! *chuckle* u mean one" Mother: *sinks into his arms and rubs her head against his chest* "No babe, there triplets! we're having three my love." *is over joyed * Father: "You mean YOU'RE having three! bish! * pushes her off and back hands her across the face* Dey aint mine! Duces mah ninja . * heads for the door and opens it* niggas be clownin man, like a damn circus , like a damn circus *slams door, never to be seen again*
" Frum dat moment,,,mah fam n i had ta hustle hard fo erthang dat we had. Moms wuld sometimes leave food on da table but most da time it wus straight robbin ninjas fo fetti. Fetti ta buy food, clothes n wen thangs gots tuff ta even buy weapons. As a jit i always wanted mo fo me n da fam, well Dipugakure made dat happen fo a brutha. Well atleast fo a moment we wus eatten gud. We take one of dem commissions mak dat dough n feed da fam. Heck i even made nough moneh ta buy quality weapons. Afta a few commissions ASN thought it wus time ta put me n deci in one of dem three man squads. N dats wen i met dat bish. Ya wanna kno hur name?"Armen would ask her to see if she had already lost interest or have gotten lost in the story. | |

| Armen had never lost Kris's interest, it was just nice to hear a little more about him, and a bonus he wasn't over-calling her peewee still. She wasn't really sure what to say about his family life, she was aware he was with the ASN before but realised she knew very little other than that. It made her realise just how different her own home life was. Her family struggled for money too, but she had both her parents, albeit no siblings, but it only made her feel that little more lucky that the only fighting she had to do before she joined the academy was with her parents to let her go. "Please, continue," She would say directly to him, before adding, "Also if we meet him, I'm gonna tell her you called her a 'bish' unless you stop calling me peewee," | |

| A look of sheer terror instantly came to Armen's face as he'd look at Kris with intensity in his eyes. " N her name wus Lashantay" A strange smile came after saying the name, as the emotions of terror and relief confused his expressions. Making up a name had Armen believe that he had fooled Kris into thinking that he wasnt referring to his former teammate. " ya but afta meet'n dat bish i met da priestess of da zakiyoshi clan, Himiko. She wus a spicy one frum da start, fam! Da moment i seent hur i jus knew i hadta sauce dat. " - Spoiler:
Armen would lower his hand in disappointment from finding out that there was just no way he could escape being a part of this team. But the worse part of it all his own sensei wouldn’t give him money for breakfast. All he could ever care about is eating and surviving. As he places his hands in his pockets, he’d stare crystal down thinking of ways he’s going to have to rob her. Only a moment after he placed his hands in his pocket did he notice a young lady heading in their direction. This beautiful girl had blue hair and seemed to be very timid. The attractive young lady would introduce herself to the two before asking them if she had come to the right place. “Deeeeeem baby, course you came to da rit place. Let daddy take a gud look, like deem”, he would think to himself as he remained completely quiet and in a gaze at the young girl. Crystal would then do as expected and introduce herself and Armen to the young girl. So to avoid being awkward and leaving her under the impression that he isn’t cool he did the only thing he knew best.
Armen would take two steps towards her and puff his chest out. His hands still in his pocket he would deepen his voice and attempt to speak in their white shinobi dialect. “You safe, now baby. Dunt worreh” , he would crack a seductive smile at her and continue, “ Himiko , huh? Dats a pretty name, mah dawgs call me, Young Ezra. Babe yus a baddy, where u frum?”
Himiko: Himiko was left completely stunned at the way she was spoken to, every word rushing through her head as she just looked at him. After seconds of continued stunned silence, she slowly breathed out, eyes closed as she was gradually tilting her head until her neck would crack. Opening her eyes briefly she closed them to do so the other direction. Standing back up, she turned to deeply scowling at him, "You know... I bet you would love to hear me sing," She commented with a slight sinister smirk, wondering to herself just how known her clan might've been and their method for the genjutsu. "But for now," She had begun putting on a bashful act, trying to look like she were playing with her fingers. As her gaze shot back up into a glare, she had made her seals. "But I... am not anything. I am not 'baby'. I am not 'babe'. You get me, dawg?" Each emphasised word she was exhaling in a much more weakened version of her 'Roaring Flame' technique.
"Needless ta say it didnt werk. she damn near burnt ma nipples off. But as we got closah she jus became mon mo precious ta me. Deci n r regard hur as part of da fam, n we do jus bout anythang fo r family. " Armen said this with a big smile on his face, that would soon fade away as his tone gets more serious. " Ya kno.. ya neva ask me bout ma arms. Come ta think of it, no one does realleh, is it not dat noticeable?" Armen began referring to his full metal arms that starts fromhis shoulders. | |

| Hearing the story was more than hilarious, and several times she began to crack up, trying to contain herself and let him continue telling the story. Eventually she just couldn't help herself though, the idea of Armen being spoken up to by someone was just too funny. It did also however make her realise she should be a little more outspoken perhaps. "She sounds like a good person," She answered directly as she calmed her laughter. "And I don't really ask because I wasn't sure if it was a sore point or not. I've seen they work as weapons in themselves, more than normal nin might say. And I figured if it was important you'd share. Otherwise it just... didn't feel my place." | |

| Armen smirked a bit realizing that she was completely right and mature for not asking. His arms have always been a soft spot. He has grown accustomed to the look and quite honestly cant even remember the sight or feeling of having original arms. He'd look ahead of him to make sure there was no incoming objects and then sighs, closing his eyes in the process as he continues. He was pleased that she was laughing a bit at the story, definitely made for a better trip than total silence. "Chyeaa, U rit. It is a bit sensitive fo meh. It use ta be much worst. a brutha damn near lost his gud sense durin dat time. Now i kinda likes it. It all happen so dam fast ya kno? I gots useta bein part of da team n trainin wus amazin. I got much stronga den expected, so much dat dey pulled me rit off da streets and commissioned a brutha ta go on a retrieval mission ta fetch dem ninjas dat were sent ta fetch anotha ninja. I was guessin dey were late or sumthin. But dat trip changed mah life. On da way der i saw sumthin i couldnt even describe wit words."- Spoiler:
Nyen: What the heck was that!?" Nyen would shout to R'tari, seeing the giant cloud of mist rising in the distance. She would also notice the five flailing limbs of...whatever it was. No.....it couldn't be. There's no way... nononoNONONO"NONONO!" Before realising she was speaking out loud Nyen would jump to the rail of the ship and curl up behind it, shielding herself from the sight of it. "Is that...a Biju? I've only ever heard of them. never seen them. Why here? Why now?" As if this trip wasn't stressful enough. Nyen would look at R'tari with her silver eyes, tears forming. She wasn't ready for this. not at all. All she wanted was to jump off of this damn boat and swim all the way back home!
No, they just needed to get to shore and get the hell away from it. To run as fast as theycould in the opposite direction. She then realised both Fang and Armenezra were going to see her crying if she continued. Wiping her eyes, she lowered her face, hoping with all her might that R'tari would prove her wrong. tell her it was just some freak weather or maybe they were just seeing the result of the battle they were headed towards but...she'd eat her own shoe if it wasn't. She had heard enough about the biju to know what she saw.
Armen: While Armen say there criticizing his rhyming capabilities he would notice a shift in the atmosphere. His teammates seemed to be very on edge. Nyen would mention the word Biju in fear as R'tari appeared shocked and completely off guard. Armen would rise to his feet to notice in the distance five massive tentacles waving from a distance. What should have been a mountain was in fact a massive creature, with extraordinary power. Armen couldn't properly gauge its power but if it can be seen through the steam its producing from this distance, there was no doubt that this was in deed top game. Armen would walk closer to the two as he felt almost thrown to its power. It was as if it came out just for him, but how in the world would little Armen be able to catch it. Armen used everything in his power to avoid his curiosity and remain on the boat. He would make note of the time and location that he first witnessed the creature from the distance. He would also note the estimated distance that the creature mustve been from the boat. Armen didnt really know what this discovery meant for him and the passengers on this boat, but everyone seemed relieved that the creature didnt seem to know where they were. All Armen had to share with the team, knowing very little to nothing about a bijuu is, "Mane i want dat. I mus hav dat." Armen would reach out his hands towards it as the group sail further away from it. Could it be fate?
R'tari: "Yes...I think it is Nyen. We are...lucky that it is so far away and even luckier that we aren't heading in it's direction. This will need to be reported to the Council as soon as possible, after this mission we'll have to inform them on it's whereabouts so they can at least be aware and direct civilian and shinobi sea transit away from it's path." R'tari said paling a bit, though when Armenezra had talked about wanting it he would give him a harsh look. "Bijuu aren't something you can just get, they are walking sentient natural disasters, even God Beasts fight them in groups. Monsters without equals...besides, even if there was a team assembled to try and seal one into some unfortunate soul you are far too weak to be allowed on it. We all are to be honest, Bijuu are the beasts hundreds of ninja like us take on." he said turning his eyes back to the six-tailed beast that was thankfully quickly disappearing over the horizon as the boat got closer to their destination.
Fang: Truthfully Fang was startled at the idea that a Bijuu was so close to Dipugakure, it made his heart clench at the thought of a Bijuu attacking the village just when it had relocated to the Northern Abyssal Ocean. It would be tragic especially since they still didn't have a sitting Kage just an intrem council of department heads and Sannin canditates each of them being too weak to really take up the mantle. So he wouldn't say anything merely grip his sword and watch as they sailed away from the monstrousity that was the 5 tails. He couldn't afford to lose focus but he knew if it ever attacked he would fight for his village with all that he had even if it meant him dying on the battlefield like a real samurai. Even though he wasn't technically a samurai he idolized them and really wanted to be one, his Nindo wasn't a Nindo it was Bushido stressing honor and duels of the sword. "Which is why Ka better give me that sword he owes me, other I'll make him give it to me the next time I lay eyes on him." Fang thought to himself looking at the others to gauge their reactions on the events that had just unfolded.
"Nothing we can do about that, we should just focus on the mission at hand."
Armen: Armen would chuckle at the sight of the bijuu in a distance as R'tari would go on about how dangerous it was. No doubt that thing looked much more dangerous than Armen could even fathom. But when R'tari started speaking about the amount of shinobi that it'd take to stop such a thing, yet alone capture, all Armen could think about was surviving so that he can get stronger. " R'tari mah ninja, all dat means is imma havta get strongah den ahunid shinobi! I can take on ahunid shinobi den imma be readeh to wrestle wit dis creature!" Armen would reach out his hands pretending to grab it, but remaining quiet as if his voice would alert it from the distance that it remained. " Thank ya fo showin me wat real powah luk like." They'd get far from it, where they couldnt even see it, and as they got even further Armens enthusiasm would die.
"Tis wus n unnervin sight indeed. Since den i hadnt seen a thang soo powahful. Decidin to avoid da creature wus the wisest choice, but it wusnt mah choice. We focused on da mission wit Captain R'tari leadin a team of youngins in ma first eva B rank commission. We were sent ta jus bring dem ninjas back home. But wen we touched soil shit changed fo all of us."- Spoiler:
https://narutobeginnings.forumotion.com/t7367p25-ka-retreval-arc-mt-lucid-interiorCost Of Greed To their fortune, the young strategist has prevailed over their powerful foes. the moments of immobility had allowed them to become victims of onslaught of attacks. Armen's attempt to make contact with them was successful and although it may have seemed as if he was about to place seals, what he was really doing was trying to take away the attention of him digitizing their weapons and adding it to his storage. But this came at a cost, because of Armen's greed he wasn't able to see the telegraphed follow up by liara who would blow up the foes in front of him. Thanks to the barrier the explosion did nothing to harm most of Armen's body but like mentioned before, his positioning left his arms exposed. After digitizing the weapons Armen made his way to the second sublevel as mentioned earlier but a burst of adrenaline would take hold of him to fight to reach the top. He would use futon shift to take him 10 ft up and then take off at B rank speeds covering a total of 25ft being now 5ft into the first sublevel. Armen is quickly making his way to the top, by the start of his next post he will be at the top with Cal who is unconscious and Liara who is tending to him. There he will discover his life changing lost. He would see his arms barely hanging on by a piece of flesh as they would be digitized as well before they fell to the ground. Weakened and in shock Armen would fall to the ground outside the cave. He was in a bit of trouble but even though the lost of his arms would devastate him, what he witnessed in there. How he facilitated taking the lives of the two victims would scare him. Death never felt so real. He fought hard so that he could go home, but never did he stop to think that going home, meant that someone else couldn't. A full clip, one shot was how his rhythm went but he never thought it would take a coward to pull the trigger. Because as he lies there in need of attention, tears in his eyes from the pain all he could think about is, did anyone really need to die today. But really what choice did he have? As he'd lie there trembling all he could get out is, "It wasn't mah fault" " N dats how it happened. I gots greedy n wanted to take der weapons. I didnt undastand da severity of da sitchation. I figuhed dat ASN culdnt have sent us on sumthin so damn dangerous. I neva knew dat da world had such monstas before i met the duo from pandora. I lost ma arms, but Captain R'tari lost his life. Ta think i wus speakin to da man jus an hour ago, N now he's gone foreva. Dat day marked me fo along time. Dat wus da first time i eva killed anythin. N my heart became like mah arms, completely void of feelin. I wus truly lost. | |

| Kris listened just as intently, letting him go through his whole story, and yet her shock at hearing tales of a bijuu was clear. She immediately looked out over the horizon, not even knowing if that was the right way towards where it had been or not, but from the stories she'd heard, even one of the biggest fears her parents had for her job, she knew there wasn't anything to do against them. Although some things he was telling her started to fit into place with what she'd already learned about him just being around him. "See Armenezra," She hoped using the full name might get his attention, "If you really were 'void' like that you wouldn't get a goofy smile when you talk about your old team mate. And you wouldn't give your favourite student a dumb nickname that she doesn't like." | |

| Armen remained quiet a bit as she spoke some sense, and when she'd stop he'd reply jokingly, favorite student?!! Wur? wen? He'd chuckle a bit giving her a little shove to let her know that he was only kidding. " Bachiatari did dat fo a brutha. Best believe dat i wus far different frum da playa u kno n love. "- Spoiler:
Rain drops dripping in the dead of night, and all that resonates in Armen's mind is what he left behind in Hakagakure. The village held up to it's reputation as the land of graves. What he experienced in a few months of being there was more than he did in his entire life of being in dipugakure. Who were those people that he encountered in the wild. Armen's eyes grow cold and jaded from the thought that he will never know who most of them are. His fears had gotten the best of him over there. With a place like the land of graves how could it not, from the moment he arrived it was all about surviving. Meeting the Zinogre on his first hunt, and nearly becoming prey to such a terrifying creature. Then the group of jonin level enemies, and then followed by another, and another. These encounters brought out the worst in Armen, and fed his fear of being a victim. It fed his fear of what happened in the caves. Armen's trauma was never properly dealt with. Armen was given a second chance when Jazz made arms for him, but the trauma has not subsided, it was merely suppressed by the exams and the constant kill or be killed situations he was placed in. Now here in the silence, Armen stands there with his back facing an open window staring down on two lifeless bodies of a Nova and a Zireh. As he stares, his mind goes into a dark place unaware of anyone who maybe watching.
" Bachiatari helped a brutha wake up frum his nightmares n mak a real difference. Bachiatari aint weapons used fo the will of othas. We are truly peace in our time." As they moved closer to their destination , Armen would share one last thing with Kris. " we breathe taday ta die tomorrow. " He thought back on the lives taken during his dark time, and how the most daunting part of this was that he didnt even know their names, or anything about them. " If ya die, leave a legacy n go out in style" He smiles a bit at her hoping that she doesn't think that anyone is about to die anytime soon.

| Kris was silent, she couldn't really thing of much to even really say in response. She could see what Armen was saying was true, seeing the organisation as a new view of things perhaps? She herself could easily understand that, she'd taken what was honestly a blind leap in joining. Before this little trip she had been thinking of just returning to the ASN, but just this one journey alone, she was being reminded of what she could do, and what the Bachiatari could do for her, that she only felt more resolved to keep going. | |

| As the two made their way to the Land of Graves chattering without a care in the world up ahead they would notice something rather interesting. What was it you ask? Well, it was a giant hole in the ground. It seemed as if someone or something had dug a hole and just left it there. Why? Who knew? But if they decided to check it out they would notice that the hole wasn’t all that deep, in fact, an eleven-year-old child could fit in there with no problem whatsoever. Inside the hole was a strange looking plant, an odd place for a plant to grow since hardly any sunlight or water down there. Maybe it was rare? Only one way to find out truly. Would it be worth it though? Possibly. *********************** - Maximillian:

| As the two drew closer to their destination, Armen would notice a strangely large hole. He'd stand on the edge of that hole, activating his sensory based techniques just in case something was in it . From where he stood he could barely make out an object at the bottom. " Aye Peewee whatchu think dat is down der?" He would then use his right arm to channel wind chakra; creating a suction effect to pull the plant gently from the ground and place it before Kris. " Lets be careful, dis thang can be dangerous eh?"- Spoiler:
Name: Big Game-Seeker Classification: Nintaijutsu Rank:C Class: Supplementary Range: AOE
Description:The user will channel chakra, clap their hands and slam his feet on the ground. From that moment the user will be able to detect any movement for up to 80ft radius for four posts. This technique uses chakra as vibration sensors underground, in the air and on surface level to detect movement. After four posts this technique costs additional D rank chakra per post to keep activated. If cancelled this technique has a one post cool down.
Name: Wind Release: Decapitating Air Waves Classification: Fighting Style Rank: B-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Mid-Long
Description: Whilst utilizing Armen’s Bionic Arms, which can harness and release Wind Materia, this fighting style is made possible. This fighting style allows Armen to use his arms to control air pressure, creating supersonic blasts of air or high velocity vacuums which move at extreme speeds. This fighting style also allows, the user to shape and conjure wind techniques of any kind without the use of hand seals at speeds equal to their current moving capability (i.e. Being capable of moving at S rank speed allows for S rank execution). The blow back or suction ability has winds moving at speeds equivalent to one rank faster than the desired function’s rank (ex. A rank level use = S rank speed). The damage done to targets using this fighting style can go from minor to very devastating. Despite the speed that the winds travel, when the target(s) are hit by the blow back function of this fighting style they will receive Hybrid or Physical damage equal to the level of the blow back function used (A rank level use = A rank Hybrid or Physical damage). Likewise, if a target is hit by the suction function of this fighting style the target will receive wind based Hybrid or Physical damage equal to the level that the suction function was used as well. Depending on the level that these functions are used, the winds are powerful enough to obliterate large trees, or houses, and can also be used to soften the ground. When blow back or suction is in use it can also be used as a dispersing method. Blow back function of this fighting style can be used to clear AOE concealment techniques when used correctly alongside this fighting style. Because Armen can use each arm for a different function, when both arms are used for the same function the effects are stronger, causing damage and effect done using both hands to gain a rank of power. Because of this fighting style’s use of decapitating winds, wind based techniques gain a slicing capability of equal rank. This fighting style can be used in combination with the Immolating Flame Waves fighting style as a combination of wind and fire to add speed to fire based techniques, flame thrower function or fire extinguishing(absorbing) functions. A proven downside of this Mechanism is, that should the hollow tubes be clogged, it results in a terrible backfire, as the air cannot escape without the proper ventilation, instead they would burst free of the Bionic Arm, causing great backlash damage (recoil), this lessens this puppet's Raw durability directly and can eventually stack with repeated damage to the point of having his arms being destroyed inside out. If this happens, a C rank amount of blood will be lost every post (total). Function Rank (Blow Back Distance, Vaccum Range, Blow Back/Vaccum width) D (10ft, 40ft, 20 ft) C (20 ft, 80ft, 40ft) B (30ft, 120ft, 60ft) A (40ft, 160ft, 80ft) S (50ft, 180ft, 100ft)
Function Rank - Blow Back/Vacuum Speed - Blow Back/Vacuum Damage (Pressure Ratio %) D - C - D (10%) C - B - C (20%) B - A - B (30%) A - S - A (40%) S - SS - S (50%)
Name: Deviant Art: Zone Lvl 3 Classification: Ninjutsu Rank:A Class: Supplementary Range: Self, Hearing(0-80ft)
Description:By focusing chakra into the ears, the user enhances their ability to react to things based on sound without causing any risk to the rest of their senses. This technique however can utilize a fair amount of chakra depending on the user's rank as the greater the user's skill the better they can channel chakra throughout their own body to lessen the strain this technique has upon them. When activated this technique gives the user A-Rank reaction tiers tied to their hearing and allows them to penetrate through A-Rank sound concealment techniques however the cost needs to be repaid every so often depending on the user's rank. This can of course be ended at any time. Due to the nature of this technique, it can be used to stack onto previous reaction tiers that the user may have acquired.
Rank - Rounds before Cost Payment D - 3 C - 4 B - 5 A - 6 S - 7

| Kris let him take the lead, knowing he had forms of sensory that she lacked and knowing he would pick things before she she would. She watched him remove the plant and float it over towards her, not really sure what to do with it. "It's... just a hole right? You really think something's down there?

| It seemed that the prey was smarter than their predecessors but that didn’t matter since their little journey was about to end right here. Unknown to them the hole in the ground was nothing but a means of trapping unsuspecting travelers to their doom as the moment they had entered the hole it would collapse leading them to the nest of an Akura Vashimu, which ironically was waiting right below them. They would have to be quite special to know that the beast was below them waiting and since it had failed in capturing them it would strike. Burrowing its way to the top at crashing ground speeds, it would aim to dissect the small child with a swipe of its claw which was backed by B rank strength. Whether it had failed or not, it would pull itself to the surface, hopefully with the girl on its claw so it could eat. - Spoiler:
Name: Beast Art:Silent Burrowing Classification: Beast Art Rank: A Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description: Akura Vashimu are known to live and move underground. As such they have developed a knack for burrowing around quietly so that they can catch their prey off guard. In order to sense an Akura Vashimu one must have A rank or above vibration sensory to accurately pinpoint its location. This technique only works when the Akura Vashimu is underground of course.
Name: Beast Art: Acidic Claw Classification: Beast Art Rank: C Class: Offensive Range: Short
Description: The Akura Vashimu coats it's claw in acid and proceeds to impale the victim in question. This technique is able to pierce through C rank defenses and also corrodes the flesh and insides of those impaled.

| He'd place the plant before her so she could put away for them to research later. But the hole before them was very suspicious. It had to be formed by some sort of creature, at least that was Armen's experience with fauna. As they stared at the hole, it began to collapse. Armen placed a hand in front of Kris and slowly began to back up indicating that she should back away too. It was fortunate that they did not foolishly jump into the hole to retrieve the strange plant . Shortly after signalling Kris to back away, he'd pick up the sound of something big moving underground; ripping through the earth. Armen's vibration sensory had not advanced enough to accurately pin point the creatures location but his hearing was surely improved enough and even with the insufficient vibration sensory he could also feel the general direction in which it was coming. "Sumthins comin" As the creature came up at B-rank speeds it aimed for Kris, but Armen simply watched carefully to how she would react to it. Since B-rank speed was faster than Armen has seen her move before, he'd buy her some time, by grabbing her and pulling her to his chest at S-rank speed, forcing the attack to miss before letting her go to defend herself. " Dis be a Akura Vashimu. Dats good game rit der, be wise da thang has both crystal release n acid. Did ya rememba ta bring da shuriken i gave ya? Nows a gud time ta use it. Protect it n try ta keep it frum damage. Oh n whateva ya do try nots ta kill da beast." If she'd pull out the heart shaped shuriken, he'd place a seal on it and ready a boomerang in his right land, with Arukami in his left. - Spoiler:

| Kris moved on instinct, feeling she should be ready the second that Armen was guiding her back away from the hole. Turning her hands in to fists, they began to shed and cover with the crystal plates, watching the hole and ready for the beast to come out. With Armen pulling her back completely though she felt engaging in close range just wouldn't work, "Not kill the beast?" She repeated making sure she heard him right, "It has crystal like me, and acid. That means... I keep my solid base crystals. I can't trump my own crystal, but basic crystal trumps acid," She muttered under her breath as she was let go from his chest as she watched the beast emerge and Armen prepared. "Yeah, I've got the sword. But that's not my speciality," Focusing her crystal plates on her hands, they slid from her arms almost like liquid before forming her large shuriken, wondering to herself if this was becoming a trademark now. But it was only when she thought about how he worded it that she thought something else was up. With the giant shuriken in hand, she used her other to take out the heart shaped shuriken he had given her before. She suddenly exhaled as her body charged with chakra, wondering how he might respond to her having learned his technique of Law of Speed. "Well, here I go I guess," With the heart shuriken, she would throw it as fast as she could, the Law of Speed increasing it up to B+ Rank due to the time of day, as it was thrown for the creatures underbelly. Meanwhile she would keep her giant shuriken ready for interception. - Spoiler:

Name: Suisho Style - Bullet Release Classification: Taijutsu Rank: C Class: Supplementary Range: Short
Description: The Suisho clan, due to their unique skeletal structure, are heavier than others from being Silicon based life forms. Because of this their bodies are usually fitter than most and in order to compete with those who weigh much less devote their bodies to basic speed training, allowing them to move at C rank speeds.

Name: Law of Speed Classification: Shurikenjutsu/Ninjutsu Rank: C Class: Supplementary Range: Self(Weapon &User)
Description: This technique known as the law of speed is a unique shurikenjutsu technique which is only trainable if the user has four or more shurikenjutsu techniques in their jutsu list. Once this technique is in play (C-rank Chakra Price) every projectile the user throws for the duration of the topic will move one rank faster than the user's top speed( Speed Tier is at B, weapon will travel at A rank speed, ect). In addition if the weapon thrown is not a soft weapon it will deal physical damage equal to the speed that the weapon is traveling (Weapon traveling at B rank speed, will do B rank physical damage in addition to other affects done by the weapon). This technique follows the concept that a person cant outrun their own throwing speed, and that when hard objects are thrown with speed, the impact has force equal to that speed. This technique caps at S rank speed and is subject to Recoil rules, in regards to thrown projectiles potentially sustaining damage if their durability is not high enough to mitigate their damage upon impact.

Name: Giant Hexagonal Shuriken Classification: Shurikenjutsu/Ninjutsu Rank: C-rank Class: Supplementary/Offensive Range: Mid
Description: Guren creates a giant crystal shuriken, resembling a snowflake around the size of her body, before utilizing it in a throw. Similar to the original technique it can be used interchangeably with normal shuriken however it costs a C-rank amount of chakra to form. It is very resilient requiring a B-rank physical technique or a B-rank chakra based technique to destroy while C-rank and below won't even scratch it. It is surprisingly light when thrown by the user however anyone else it is somewhat heavy requiring at least D-rank strength to pick up.

| It missed what a shame and here it thought that it would have some little girl for dinner but it was far from over as this fight had just begun. The fauna would burrow its way upward before landing on the surface as it turned to face the food that Gaia had blessed it with. The scorpion would turn to give chase to the humans in its presence before being hit by two shurikens that were thrown by the young girl. The two shuriken would bounce off it like a ball made of paper hitting a wall as its natural defenses but this Akura had already coated itself with a thin layer of crystal which would further improve its already impervious defenses. The scorpion would then release a stream of acid into the air which would, in turn, create a fog of sorts which would rob them of their sight and of course eat away their flesh. With that done, the scorpion would burrow its way into the ground once more. - Spoiler:

Description: The Akura Vashimu will release a stream of acid into the air before the area gets covered in a smog which blinds viticms unless they possess A rank reaction to see through the smog. The smog also deals C rank damage per turn unless they possess defences strong against acid based techniques (this also affects weaponary). This technique can be cleared by a technique specifically designed for clearing mists/fogs A rank above. The fog covers 160 feet.
Name: Beast Art: Crystal Coating Classification: Beast Art Rank: A Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description: The Akura Vashimu will coat itself with a thin lining of crystal which will further protect itself from techniques not strong or weak against crystal. This technique grants the Akura a defence boost to it's already power defence making it equal to samurai defences.

| Armen grinned as she did exactly as he asked and used his signature move to attack the creature. One couldn't describe the feeling of having a young protege use a move that he has made famous and with such ease. It wasn't the greatest feat but it was enough to form that grin, and also help him execute the plan. It was as he said early, this creature was good game and would be ashame to kill. Fortunately Rikigaku aren't as ignorant to let a creature such as that go to waste. Instead Armen used the opportunity to give Kris something that she really can make use of this time, unlike the shuriken he has given her. As her shuriken made its way, he would mark his boomerang and release it at S-rank speeds using law of speed, but instead of hitting the creature, he'd use the boomerang as a slight distraction to use that left hand to initiate burst combat, propelling him towards the creature at SS rank speeds. the two were already in close proximity but once in range, Armen would slap on the second seal onto the body of the scorpion. The sea placed matched the one that Armen had marked Kris' shuriken with to completely absorb the fauna. In an instant the creature would become one with the heart shapped shuriken that was thrown at the cost of B-rank blood and A -rank chakra. This would prevent the creature's escape while the toll would cause Armen to stumble slightly. He'd use his Arukami blade to catch him from falling as he attempts to overcome the slight dizziness and wipe the blood from his mouth. He'd chuckle, " heh..it's done, peewee". If successful all that would be left behind is a heart shaped shuriken that serves as an egg for Kris' new organic weapon. - Spoiler:

Name: Wind Release: Decapitating Air Waves Classification: Fighting Style Rank: B-rank Class: Supplementary Range: Mid-Long
Description: Whilst utilizing Armen’s Bionic Arms, which can harness and release Wind Materia, this fighting style is made possible. This fighting style allows Armen to use his arms to control air pressure, creating supersonic blasts of air or high velocity vacuums which move at extreme speeds. This fighting style also allows, the user to shape and conjure wind techniques of any kind without the use of hand seals at speeds equal to their current moving capability (i.e. Being capable of moving at S rank speed allows for S rank execution). The blow back or suction ability has winds moving at speeds equivalent to one rank faster than the desired function’s rank (ex. A rank level use = S rank speed). The damage done to targets using this fighting style can go from minor to very devastating. Despite the speed that the winds travel, when the target(s) are hit by the blow back function of this fighting style they will receive Hybrid or Physical damage equal to the level of the blow back function used (A rank level use = A rank Hybrid or Physical damage). Likewise, if a target is hit by the suction function of this fighting style the target will receive wind based Hybrid or Physical damage equal to the level that the suction function was used as well. Depending on the level that these functions are used, the winds are powerful enough to obliterate large trees, or houses, and can also be used to soften the ground. When blow back or suction is in use it can also be used as a dispersing method. Blow back function of this fighting style can be used to clear AOE concealment techniques when used correctly alongside this fighting style. Because Armen can use each arm for a different function, when both arms are used for the same function the effects are stronger, causing damage and effect done using both hands to gain a rank of power. Because of this fighting style’s use of decapitating winds, wind based techniques gain a slicing capability of equal rank. This fighting style can be used in combination with the Immolating Flame Waves fighting style as a combination of wind and fire to add speed to fire based techniques, flame thrower function or fire extinguishing(absorbing) functions. A proven downside of this Mechanism is, that should the hollow tubes be clogged, it results in a terrible backfire, as the air cannot escape without the proper ventilation, instead they would burst free of the Bionic Arm, causing great backlash damage (recoil), this lessens this puppet's Raw durability directly and can eventually stack with repeated damage to the point of having his arms being destroyed inside out. If this happens, a C rank amount of blood will be lost every post (total). Function Rank (Blow Back Distance, Vaccum Range, Blow Back/Vaccum width) D (10ft, 40ft, 20 ft) C (20 ft, 80ft, 40ft) B (30ft, 120ft, 60ft) A (40ft, 160ft, 80ft) S (50ft, 180ft, 100ft)
Name:DAWFS:Burst Combat(ADR) Classification: Nintaijutsu/ Kenjutsu Rank:B Class: Supplementary Range: Self
Description: This Nintaijutsu technique is made possible by the use of the Decapitating Air Waves Fighting Style and the user’s exertion of energy. This style uses the winds from the DAWFS along with the user’s current moving speed in order to increase the speed that the user can travel and the distance that the user can cover. When moving, this technique places the level of exertion (moving speed) on the same scale (speed/distance scale) as DAWFS’ winds. The mechanics of this function is similar to how Armen uses futon shift for his body, but utilizing Blowback and Vacuum function. This allows the user to move Forward(BB), Backwards(V), Upwards(BB), Downwards(BB) at speeds greater than their level of exertion. This means that in order for the user to switch modes or functions with the arm(s) in use, they will have to follow the same cool down that is required of them to stop the arm’s turbine, unless they use turbine control to mediate that cool down. Otherwise the cool down will always be 6p.t regardless if the user is only running at C rank speeds. When this technique is in play, the user will have the options to use one or two hands much like all DAWFS techniques. If the user choses to use one hand to increase speed and distance, the distance that can be traveled with either functions are half of the DAWFS scale. Every turn the user must pay a C rank chakra cost plus -1 stamina per rank depending on the speed the user’s moving with this function (S rank speeds = -5). In the event that two hands are used for the same function, the user gains DAWFS’s two hand bonus and will pay twice the chakra and stamina cost of one hand. So it would be B ranked chakra and -2 stamina per rank depending on user’s moving speed with this function every turn and the distance that can be traveled with either functions are equivalent to DAWFS’ full scale for one arm. The cost of using this technique is pushed out and not stored, preventing the user from obtaining the benefits of siphoning anything back to themselves. This technique is very dangerous as it is similar to the user being thrown at that speed in a controlled manner and would require a technique like Sure Shot Trajectory to be in play for control. In events that the user is hit while in movement with an attack of equal strength to their traveling speed, the damage done is equal to one rank higher if they cannot block or dodge the attack.
This technique does not boost the effects of any technique that deals with buffing, but those type of techniques pertaining to speed can be used to determine the speed the user is moving, and the cost when using this technique. Armen can use this technique when Wind Release Armor is active to place his moving speed on DAWFS scales. Being that this technique is Nintaijutsu based, when in use the user’s strikes will also benefit from WRA’s ability to grant slicing damage to Nintaijutsu attacks. But if this method is done the user will have to pay C rank chakra plus -5 stamina per number of ranks that the user is moving faster than Wind Release Armor and variants enable them to per Arm used. Because of the S rank or S + speeds granted by WRA, Armen is capable of using this technique to move at SS or SS+ rank speed (one arm, one ranks higher) or SSS rank (two arms, three ranks higher).So apart from the activation of WRA this technique would cost the user an addition C rank of chakra and -5 stamina per hand used. Note that this technique affects how fast the user can go, how far, and how fast he/she can execute physical or hybrid based attacks and techniques. This technique does not serve as reaction tiers but can be used along side reaction tiers to dodge techniques moving slower than the user's current capability. The stamina and chakra price is paid every turn that the user triggers this technique and not per usage.

| Kris had no clue what even happened, one moment she was preparing to block some sort of attack with her giant shuriken, the next she was looking as the crafted heart shuriken dropped out of thin air where the monster had been. She was frozen in place, mouth agape, "... Umm... Gonna need... to explain," | |

| Well that was over rather quickly. With no way of defending against such a fast counter assault. The scorpion would be sealed into the heart shaped shuriken which was given to the girl. The scorpion was disappointed with the outcome of this since it was yearning for the taste of a little girl. She was lucky he was around to stop herself from being devoured maybe one day she wouldn’t be so lucky. The two would be free to go whenever it was they were heading as the only hostile creature in the area had been dispatched. *********************** - Maximillian:

| Armen would regain his composure and place his Arukami back in the organoid matrix. Making his way to the heart shapped shuriken he'd stare down at it, continuing the thought before the creature had appeared. " ya kno.. i give bachiatari lots a credit, but... Himiko deserve sum too ya dig? she a bit of a hard ass wit meh, but.. ya she loved meh..ya i think so." - Spoiler:
Armen's heart was heavy, and broken. Its only been a week since that mission. The mission that would change his perspective on everything that he thought was real. So much had happened, but what scared his mind the most were the things and the teammate that he lost. Armenezra is a family oriented person, and wither he meant to or not, he had let them in. From the moment they clashed fist, Armen considered them all friends. But what they came into that day, was well beyond them. It was too big of a task for them to complete, even Armen utilizing his resolves had to rely on the resolve of two others, luck and timing to be able to stand here today. So the impossible, remained impossible. They have failed to bring back the shinobi that they've set out for, therefore putting themselves at insurmountable risk for nothing. If any conciliation, most of them were able to stay alive, but as many can agree by the look on their faces and the atmosphere around the grave; breathing isn't the same as living. Everyone looks broken and filled with regrets as they all look around and examine what we all have lost. At this point in time , it looks like R'tari is the fortunate one. He lived a life of no regrets and went out protecting his heart, and standing up for what he believed in like a man. Armen would arrive, wearing the same ripped up clothes that he had on during the mission. Armen was poor, he had no parental support and the closest thing he had to family were his siblings, himiko and his sensei. Armen was too proud to ask either of them for money and had proceeded to keep his distance from everyone the entire week. He refused visitors while he was in the hospital under heavy medication. He spent the entire week crying over the lost of his arms and how he may never be a shinobi again. Which is all the more reason why attending this funeral hurt so bad. Because it was a reminder that he really couldn't protect everyone, and now he cant protect anyone again.
Those who would look over at him would be able to see how terrible he looked. His white shirt was torn up and dirty, His black jacket was torn at the sleeves only leaving enough to cover the stubs that he now had as arms, his hair was messy as if it hadn't been washed in ages and his eyes restless and soulless as if he has seen hell. As he would look around the room with his bugged out eyes he would then bow his head and look down as he would let out a few words softly and quietly hoping not to ruin such a beautiful ceremony. "Dis aint mah fault....dis be ASN's failure." He would repeat the same words that he's been uttering all week. He would look towards the grave marker and slowly tremble as if his body was growing cold.
Himiko: "Why am I here? Oh geez I'm so out of place. I didn't even know him that long. I didn't fight besides him. He just... he liked my singing. That's all! I... I don't deserve to be here." The only words running repeatedly inside Himiko's mind as she would make her up into the group, heading hung low so as not to meet the eye sight of anyone else around her, ever worried over what they might think of her presence. She'd only heard bits and pieces of the mission, she'd been so wrapped up in her own personal training that she had missed the call for nin for the mission, not that she would have joined with all the hard work she had been putting in. A low drone caught her attention however as she was moved to stand just behind someone larger in every respect compared to her. Looking over she suddenly felt so much ease, until she would notice the injury. Then the guilt. So much guilt. She carefully squeezed through, muttering the 'pardon me's' to the patrons as she moved closer to the only other person she knew personally.
At first she just stood besides Armen, her team mate, in stoic silence. Any other situation she'd have been poking a little joke at him for something or another. This wasn't the place or the time. And from even a simple glance she wasn't sure it would have helped in any situation. "So I guess this was the mission you went on?" She would eventually speak quietly to her team mate, eyes fixed forwards onto the grave stone. "... fuck. I'm only here as a courtesy call. Our clans are old buddies. We only met once, y'know that time I went singing in the bar when everyone was busy? ... sorry, I'm complaining like a child. ... I still don't belong here though."
Armen: Armen was just in bad shape. He would take note of the different people that came in, especially of the man in gold. He would only do this with his eyes as his body shivers at the sight of the grave. It wasn't long before Armen would hear a familiar voice. She would be standing next to him for a moment before speaking. Normally Himiko's presence would bring comfort to Armen and the two would then go about teasing one another. But this was not the same, as she asked if this was the mission Armen was one. He would look at her with his eyes wide open, shivering and feeling guilty. As she began to tell her story, Liara a woman who shared the experience with Armen would salute him with respect. Armen would stare at Liara and words couldnt escape his mouth. He would just dim his eyes and fix his attention towards the grave while himiko finishes her short story. " It wasn't mah fault", Armen shared little to know words with anyone. His body was tired and just warn out, in his mind there was no peace, but something else was brewing. Armen left nothing for R'tari but thoughts unspoken, "I neva knew much bout ya. But do kno dis, you aint da only tang gettin burried today. Along wit yo life, i bury mah mercy."
Himiko only felt fear as her name was said, looking around like someone had just been assassinated and she was pointed out as the killer, a thought which only further brought guilt into her mind at how disrespectful the idea even was. She felt as much unease that her teammate was near unresponsive, so unlike the norm. She felt at least a little better that the 'books' she was given weren't there, it helped her in knowing that nobody would have to see her stepping forwards, and she also felt she should stay near her teammate, even if she didn't know what she could say to him. After another moment she rested her arm around his shoulder, "I'm gonna head home in a minute, I know I'm probably not the best to talk to, I wasn't there or been anywhere close to what you've been through. But you've got your team behind you without hesitation. And we've still got to find your father right?" She knew it wasn't appropriate to continue where she wanted to go, unsure if he'd react well to her trying to normalize things between them again. "And... we've got the exams approaching when we qualify. I'll be training on my beach, you're gonna be impressed, I promise," She would say with a smile, peeling herself from him and leaving the funeral, letting her teammate grieve by himself again with the knowledge Himiko wouldn't be too hard to find.
He'd look over to Kris's and noticed the open mouthed stunned look on her face. He'd then scan the area looking for what she could possibly be so shocked about before realizing that she was looking at the heart shapped shuriken containing the beast. Armen chuckled a bit enjoying her confusion for a while longer as he picks up the shuriken and shows it to her. "eyyyyyyaaaahhh, yo shurikens dunt do dat. Not really. Wat ya saw jus now wus mah clan jutsu in action. Now wat ya see befo ya here, now dis is a game changa." As he was about to hand it over to her he hesitated remembering what she'd have to do inorder to raise this egg on her own. These requirements were not ones that he'd wish for Kris to fulfill so for her sake, he would have to raise this egg on her behalf. " Dis organoid be urs Peewee. But u r not yet readeh for dis responsibility. Wen im dun wit dis ill give it back to ya. Den u can name it whateva u want." Armen then placed it in the organoid matrix and walked off smiling at Kris, knowing that she probably still has no idea how he did what he did. He'd pat her shoulder as he walks pass her so that she'd snap out of it and follow along. " Well here we r... da land of graves, Hakagakure." Before entering the village, he'd kneel down and work on his weapons and seals for a few minutes. Using the time now to seal 1SS, 3S, 4A, 4B,2C's of chakra into it. Once finished he'd make his way on through. - Spoiler:
Chakra: 1SS,3S,3A,7B,7C, 5D Stored Fire: 22 C( Magnesium Based) Weapon Chakra Seal: 16-SSS,1B,3D Stamina: 54 Blood: 1S,1A,1B

| Kris just shook her head following him away from the scene of the barely-even-a-fight, looking curiously to the shuriken he collected. "I didn't catch any of that, but I'll just defer to your judgement," She halted with him outside of the village, wondering if they might even have time for her to visit home even briefly. "And stop calling me Peewee," | |
