[col]Oh how very long it had been since he got the chance to fight someone of this caliber. On top of that, Matsu absolutely wanted to get his hands on that other man's skin. No, not for anything creepy. He just wanted to examine the language on the tattoos. He was also covered with them from head to toe, but that was far less apparent given his choice of dress. But now, he had blood on his hands and that meant a whole lot more to him. He grinned like a maniac beneath his mask and with one hand lifted it slightly as he ran the blade along his tongue and choked down the freshly spilled spoils. Yeah, that doesn't sound dirty. There was screaming elsewhere about something that didn't interest him. As his mask lowered, the contract would be struck and the tattoos underneath his heavy leathers would begin to faintly glow a crimson red along his body, wrapping about and tracing his muscles as he formed wards beneath his skin. While it might all be superstition there were some truths.
"You wouldn't be the first to call me a waste of time. Turns out a lot of people thought that. With that, Matsu would flick the blood across his hand and throw his hand out upon the target who was trying to pummel him to death. There were some obvious progressions here as far as Matsu was concerned and he was burning through his essence real fast. Whether his attempt at styming his opponent and taking advantage of his gifts was successful or not was of little consequence to him. He had greater import on his mind. Flicking his blade out once more, Matsu would swing wildly at his opponent. He wanted to cut through whatever was stitching his wounds back together. Matsu was similarly put together, but his foe had far greater wealth in that department.
With his final bit of energy for this point, Matsu would do the unthinkable to others. Gripping his blade tight as his blood splattered across his hilt and his blade drank deep, his body would shift sideways and towards the Egg that was left by their unknown foe. Using as much a strength as possible, Matsu's body surged and drove his sword as hard as humanly possible in its general direction. Perhaps it would hit. Perhaps it'd cause a swath of unknown problems. Regardless of the results, he was going to make this a no-win scenario if he possibly could.

The sandworm hatchlings and the scorpions attacked in a frenzy -- the scent of blood and the crunch of bone filled the noisy cavern. They were durable despite being neonates and their numbers seemed endless. There was in fact an end to them, but at this moment they were simply overwhelming. Their teeth would tear into each of them, drawing blood. Their habitus massive in comparison to their own would crash down onto them and they would feel the weight of these sandworm bodies crush their own yet they did not give up despite the obvious odds against them yet it would appear that their greatest danger was friendly fire. Out of nowhere it would seem as they would have perhaps momentarily forgotten about the terrible seed that Amaya laid, tendrils lashed out wildly at each and every one of them. Cutting into them. Slicing through their skin, leaving a river of 
He could not help but smile as Matu's hand planted on his chest, 
He knew the voice, even if their time together was brief. Roku, or rather 'Yoshida' made quite the impression on him. 'Broshida', as he called him, was a true paragon of masculine virtue. To those that do not understand this bromance there is a reason for that -- you are not invited so GTFO. Taro flexed his arms, if he was wearing a shirt (which was almost never) it would have been ripped apart by his glorious glistening muscles as he let out a dramatic laugh from the depths of his being.
