The wind felt mucky and soar as it blew within the dark realm of horror and beast. A howling gust called forth the dreams and ambitions of our two heroes, as they stood fast before a mountain of horror. The physical manifestation of nightmares attempting to whisk those hopes and dreams from this reality, to drag them down into the dark pits from which all things dark are born. Fear lurked behind the brave mask of the silver haired fox as she was the only one of the pair who had any sort of understanding of the power held by creatures of the mystical realm. The depths of this beings power was beyond mortals comprehension, beyond sound judgement and reason. She knew because she was once a being of such greatness. But not anymore. Now, she was a shell of the being she should be. Coupled with a child with foolish bravado and arrogance. Such arrogance from a lowly being who couldn’t do anything... such a child made her smile, made her grit her teeth and made her stand! With blade in hand, Xaiyu pushed passed her injuries with reckless abandonment. She knew that she couldn’t do much, but with Mizu as her partner, her friend, she could do this, this one thing...
“Let’s take them down with the you know what!”
“I’m on it!”
The two were in perfect synchronization. Spinning and slashing spinning and more slashing. Without any verbal communication, their attacks and strikes complimented the actions of the other in such a way that their opponents would feel as if they were in a whirlwind of blades. Rainbow like arcs would travel up the belly of Maru seemingly dealing damage. Mizu’s eyebrows would raise in all of the confusion, making a mental note as to how thick his skin was. Mizu would pounce around the most, seemingly the faster of the duo and the main
“Damn lady, give me a break!”
Suddenly the sky would illuminate and Mizu’s eyes would grow wide. It would look as if the sky was falling upon them... if the sky was a giant sphere of energy. They had little time to react and so the two would brace for impact, using their swords as shields to no avail. The immediate screeching of the blades collision with pure energy was deafening. They struggled to maintain their grips on their weapons as the rattling intensified beyond comprehension. The blades themselves were turning red and sparks of burning metal singed their cheeks. The great sphere of energy continued its trajectory unimpeded by their efforts before colliding with the earth’s surface causing a massive shockwave and a roaring louder than thunder.
It seemed as though time had stopped for the two foxes as they laid in the center of a massive creator. Xaiyu and Mizu blinked silently. Starring off into the dark world above.
“You know... we can’t lay here forever *cough* *cough*, hey, whatever happens... kick their ass...”
Xaiyu’s blade would impale the dirt beneath them, using her sword as a crutch to balance her rising and to finally restore her footing. With a battle cry she’d rage toward the demon leaving Mizu still lying there. Mizu would continue to lay, starring off into the unfamiliar realm before the brief tranquility was disturbed by a torrent of paper. She’d leap up for what was next.[/TD]

There was a chill in the air as the monovalent demon set fourth in motion a plot to rid the world of the pair. He taunted Xaiyu as her attacks did very little to harm the beast. In fact, his regenerative abilities were already taking part in undoing the progress that they had made. Mizu would break away from her combat with the masked woman and her endless barrage of paper jutsu, and attempt to assist Xaiyu. They were outnumbered and out match but the two had the heart and will to push through. However, Maru would have other plans for them. It was as if the beast was grinning as he unleashed an instant wave of heat purging frost that crystallized all things in its path. Xaiyu would push Mizu into the void causing her to fade from this realm but for an instant but an instant was her saving grace. Upon instant return, Mizu’s eyes would dart to Xaiyu. A now frozen statue of herself, void of light. Attacks continued at Mizu from the mask woman giving Mizu no time to mourn but she could feel. Anger, anxiety, sadness! Xaiyu was her only friend, her only companion. What was this world without her. Mizu gritted her teeth as she leaped around to avoid attacks from all directions.
Suddenly the others would drawback leaving Mizu in alignment with the giant Maru whose mouth was wide open. Perhaps they new what catastrophe was brewing. Perhaps this should have alerted Mizu. She’d watch as energy gathered in his jaws becoming dense and more dense. With blade and hand, the brave Mizu took a stance and ready herself for what he was plotting. Lightning flared all around and the earth shook beneath them. In an instant, there was a flash of light followed by an explosion of pure chakra that stretched toward the heavens! Such a blast would have easily leveled a village. In this world, exist beings capable of such destruction. Such beings willing choose servitude to lesser life forms... but not today. The smoke would clear and Mizu miraculously stood amongst the debris with a glowing blade steaming of heat. Her sleeve up to her elbows were completely burnt away and her arms chard and burnt. The dust would settle revealing a scar upon the earth where Mizu stood. Chasms laid stretched parallel from where Mizu stood with an out stretched blade. She had split the beam of energy with her sword causing two great fissures but at heavy cost. She huffed and puffed before dropping to her knees.
“Xaiyu... I accept your last wish!”
With pride, ambition and hope still unwavering, Mizu would raise her blade. She’d would believe in her resolve to change the world... but would this be enough? Did she really have what it took to stop the unstoppable? To not be deterred by things like, reality? The wheels of Fate were turning. What did destiny have in store for them? These questions yet unanswered. Mizu would put on a brave face. A smile crept upon her cheek.
“I can do this! Stronger than the girl I was before! I’ll push forward and smash fate! For that is my ninja way!”[/TD]

The silver haired fox was vexed of the two, so a furry of blows were surely long over due! After one swing there was two, she’d continue to swing until her face was blue. With a slew of swings the connections were few, so obviously for her crew this would not do. The fox and fox a crew to be sure, Xaiyu would swing more and more. Suddenly the ground would shake and she’d hit the floor, causing all around to wonder what for? Maru grew into something new, a monster like beast what a sight what a view. There was much to see and many reasons to flee but the silver haired fox simply grew angry.
The red fox would stare into the eyes of the anbu girl and suddenly the fox’s irises would start to swirl.
