Kazuki had been dwelling on the thought about the ruins that were once the Ranger’s HQ and how best to rebuild what was lost, when his headset received a transmission. "Can anyone read me? My name is Miyamoto Hiroshi, and I'm engaged with a pack of ten or so mocking dogs somewhere within the village. Requesting immediate assistance, over.” The Senju Overlord’s headset was not the only thing that caught those words. He had been seating on a rock for thirty minutes in front of the wreck of the building that had been crushed by the bastard son of Ishii Shiro when he heard that transmission. But, he had also heard it with his ears as well. In the White Wolf’s youth, his body had gone through a series of experimentations that had upped him into super soldier status and his hearing had been increased accordingly. ”This is Kazuki. On route.”<i></i> he would transmit, letting Hiroshi know help was on his way. Because he was on the Ranger’s area and he had been able to hear the man speak, the Occult Sennin knew he was too far from the endangered shinobi.[lb2][/lb2]
He would move silently as any trained ANBU could and, eventually, the scene would begin to unfold before his very pitch black irised eyes. A lone man surrounded by 8 Hykals. One of them was slightly larger than the rest, indicating this was one the alpha of the pack. Hiroshi was facing the alpha, probably because he thought he could control the entire pack if he could create some level of dominance over him. Unfortunately for the shinobi that wasn’t working that well. The Ranger Lord knew that by killing the alpha there was a chance for the rest of the pack to scatter, though there were recordings of a new alpha being selected on the go until there were no Hykals left. The probability that they would be forced to slaughter them all was quite high. A single Hykal was not a danger to a moderately trained shinobi. They only represented a serious menace when in numbers and against solitary opponents. The Deep Court Hybrid quickly devised a plan. He was going to ensnare the entire pack and kill the alpha male. The element of surprise would be lost once that was done and he would be unable to kill anything else before they reacted.[lb2][/lb2]
Vines would suddenly sprout from ground, ensnaring the entire pack. Growls and yelps would echo in the area as the canines tried to get loose. Kazuki would vanish, only to reappear on top of the alpha. Shadows would congregate around his right hand as his black bladed sword was conjured. As he landed, his sword would pierce the leading Hykal, breaking its spine and killing. As he removed the blade, the canine’s soul would be drained, leaving only a dried husk behind. ”Steel yourself, this is not over yet.”<i></i> the Senju Overlord would warn Hiroshi that the danger was still present. In fact, the Hykals were starting to free themselves from the snare they had been forced into. Reaper would be standing side by side with the AiT, sword in hand and ready to fight. Hiroshi would notice that older man had short silvery hair and his skin was incredibly pale. He was not near albinism but once could assume he was very sick, though he wasn’t at all. The Occult Sennin was wearing a black and gray robe with silvery trimmings and an open colar, along with a large, red, flowing toga drapped around his body and across his chest, black pants and black combat boots. The opening on his robe gave plenty of view to a tattoo on the White Wolf’s chest, a crimson tree stabbed by a sword, not that Hiroshi would notice until the threat to his life was over. There were two more things that the AiT would be able to grasp, now or later. First, Kazuki’s body emanated a deathly cold aura and that any shadows nearby would become livelier and would stretch themselves toward the Senju Overlord, as if they were trying to touch him. | Black Omen
