[NonCanon][Event] The Beast of the Dunes

Post by Niro » Sun Sep 06, 2020 12:33 pm

The vast desert which made up Wind Country shook for what seemed like forever before a gigantic crevice split down the center of one of the many regions, easily 500 m long, and from it emerged a creature resembling a gigantic dragon. It took to the skies immediately with an ear splitting cry, it senses automatically searching for the nearest and largest source of water: Sunagakure no Sato. The gigantic 100m tall and 200m long beast soared through the skies, bits and pieces falling from its body as it moved towards the citizens of the village.

"Awaken."
Long dormant eyes, forced closed from a slumber of origins from time immemorial, opened for the first time in many cycles to the pitch of shadows. Where... Where was this place? Where were his makers, the Ihanrii? How many moons had soared overhead since it last observed life? The creature was uncertain. Yet, the Ihanrii still called to it. Their emmanations to which it was bound still echoed in the depths of its mind. Sharp, alien eyes quickly adjusted to the shadows. Its analysis was pragmatic, cold, calculating. It understood what had prevented its awakening before now.

The prophecy had come to pass. The Ihanrii were no more.

Moving its large, rippling body, the creature struggled against the restraints meant to house him during his rest, now turned into chains of bondage by time and misfortune. It struggled roughly at first, and the restraints held, a testament to the ingenuity of Ihanrii engineering. The creature momentarily relaxed, reaching out with its mind to the others Arks. It was once but a single ship amidst their great civilization, when the Ihanrii forefathers had arrived to this place. It had been gifted the ability to connect empathically with its brothers. Its mind called out strongly, forcefully, across the grand expanse of the desert, seeking any that might come to its aid. None responded. He could tell they were not yet faded, but their connection to the Ihanrii had fallen. It seemed that only it alone remained attuned with their masters' will. There would be no rescue. In its entirety, the prophecy had been fulfilled. Somehow, fate had only chosen to smile upon this herald of the Ihanrii.

"Arise."
The creature paused, taking a few moments to mount its strength. Before its last rest, the creature had noticed an anomaly in the supports that fortified these restraints. In its loyalty, the creature had communed with the Ihanrii shortly prior to its imposed hibernation to alert them of the matter. They assured the creature it would be remedied forthwith. Their oversight was this creature's blessing. With a single powerful push, it rent the bracket from the support beam the held it, and the remainder of the creature's body slipped out of the harness. This was not a quiet break from freedom. Throughout the entirety of the Wind Country, a quick but violent quake could be felt. Even those bordering the lands could feel the aftermath of the brief trembling of the ground beneath their feet. The creature quickly took assessment of its circumstances. Its core, which sustained its biological components, required charging, but they were still operational for the present moemnt. It required lifa. Of its compatriots, this creature had been best equipped to swim beneath the sand to find lifa. Raising its massive snout, it smelled the air. It was bone dry... but for one small mote of moisture. If it could restore its energy, it could recover its comrades and send a message to the Ihanrii elsewhere. They would come and restore order once more.

"Secure lifa. Become strong. Call to our brothers and sisters in the stars... Destroy all opposition."
Pointing its nose upwards, its ancient armor clicked to life, causing the already crumbling ground around it to begin to quickly since and crumble. While the structures of the Ihanrii itself could withstand its power, the terrain around it fell to its mercy. With a powerful burst upwards, the beast arose from the very bedrock of the desert and soared into the sky through a plume of sand and dust that nearely threatened to blot out the sun. It sensed the lifa more clearly now. It was distant, but well within reach of its own energy reserves. As it flew, it reached its mind out to its spawns. They all arose from their hibernation, primed and ready to descend from their housings in its great armor. It doubted it would face opposition, but nothing would stand in the way of the Ihanrii's will. The creature was their last hope.

It would not fail.

In the far away land of Soul, seated quietly sipping a cup of tea was the Demon Hegemon, still currently utilizing the familiar appearance of the Suna bannin whom's body he had taken over and was currently using to rebuild his power in the human realm. His left eye brow raised slightly as he felt the tug of spacetime chakra pulling at him but with a simple wave of his hand and some chakra he dispersed the summoning, or perhaps better yet simply delayed its response for the moment. "How interesting, so they did have a back up like this..." The old demon smirked as he heard some of the chatter over the fuuin comm that he'd acquired before the start of the two village's operation in Soul country. 'Seems things are halted momentarily here...' Pondering on what could possibly be so important to the village's that would cause them to willingly abandon the operation as it was not just the body's village but the other great villages being recalled too.

Intrigued at what occurrence that could cause such an eruption action from the big five, the man finally allowed for the summoning technique to warp him through spacetime back to the Suna village. A few moments later the man had been transported back to the village hidden in the sandy deserts of Wind country, Zao's homeland. Still a bit irritated that he was unable to carry out his plans in Soul in order to increase tension even further between all the village's the white robed figure opened his eyes feeling the dry heat warming his skin at the moment. 'Slave, do you sense anything?' The Hegemon spoke mentally to the body fused slave that was once the wife of his current body, as she was using her Mind's Eye, having expanded it out to nearly its max range during his time in Soul to help monitors other things. 'One moment my lord....to the south west there is a massive chakra source rapidly approaching the village.'

It took the fused slave a few moments to regain her barrings after being dropped into an area with so many chakra sources, but after a few seconds she was able to regain concentration and before long locked onto the distant creature maxing transit towards the village that couldn't be seen due to the blowing desert winds that limited vision somewhat. The sensual voice finished and the Hegemon lifted his gaze towards that direction as a deep purple, almost black chakra formed around his body and then concentrated itself in the center of his upper back before a set of magnificent looking chakra wings condensed. With what appeared to be a gentle flap of the wings the man was lifted a few feet off the ground as a specific anchor kunai was thrown into the stone surface of the defensive wall he had been standing upon. Other shinobi could be seen running around frantically preparing for defense of their village and the others that were lower rank were working to evacuate civilians and young ninja to designated safe areas.

Shaking his head, the demon only smirked before flying forward to meet the creature that was causing all this ruckus, able to sense it thanks to his linked senses with the sensory slave located within his own body. Though he was unable to identify the source of the strange chakra, it felt somewhat familiar but with thousands of years of memories, it was hard to pinpoint just why it felt his way. Flying through the village's defensive genjutsu and just to its outer edge the man broke through the light sand storm and the massive creature came into view completely. 'This creature....I thought they were all dead...' Their was a slightly sour face that crossed the thin lips of the human appearance the Demon currently had as he saw the beast...slightly irritated that such a entity was here but at the same time a gentle laugh that carried an amused tone exited the Hegemon's lips now. "My current self may not be able to deal with this creature..."

The Demon was aware that he had not yet been able to build and strength the army he planned to create here on the human plane, it was vastly different than being in the demon realm where his will could send the entire realm into action. Moving rapidly in a direction that would cut off the beast the Demon Hegemon allowed the transformation technique to end revealing his demonic appearance and unique attire that was from his demon realm to signify his status level as ruler. Soon a set of bold words echoed out the Demon's mouth, a slightly condescending tone found within the words spoken to the create. "Come, submit to me, the Demon Hegemon."

The Kazekage's forces were indeed scrambling to muster a defense. Thankfully, unlike the other nations, Sunagakure's relative pacifism meant that very few forces had to be recalled from the Soul Country to face this unforeseen threat, meaning nearly the entirety of Suna's standing force was ready to stand against this massive creature. Alarm bells were rung out not moments after the great rift in the desert opened, genin immediately being charged with evacuating civilians and the elderly to the safety of bunkers. The Great Plateau, often used for high-level training and the combat rituals for aspiring Kage candidates, had subterranean tunnels that led to it, and in a crisis such as this, the village at large could retreat to this area to either launch a counteroffensive or set up for a larger evacuation should the worst come to pass. Clan elders were quickly sealing their secret facilities or transporting them via Jikukan experts within the clan itself. Kiyori herself was busy issuing urgent orders to the main combat forces of the village and readying herself for combat. Plans were being adjusted and executed on the fly. Before long, much of the village's forces were assembled at their positions, ready to repel what came.

A great hush came over the entire shinobi force of Sunagakure no Sato as the creature finally burst through the veil of sand and dust that had announced its resurrection. Tense uncertainty turned into slackjawed wonder and, for some, pure dread, as disbelief washed over the entire population at what they were seeing. Even Kiyori herself could not fathom the monstrosity that they observed before them, but she and her commanders were thankfully sufficiently resolved to rally the shinobi forces back to attention. Kiyori steeled herself. Her notions of pacifism had to be set aside. She had no way of verifying her suspicions, but something deep in her heart of hearts truly understood one thing: there was no reasoning with this thing. There was no peace to be had. This was a battle for survival. Her qualms had to be set aside. Sueatsu also stood at the ready, further within the village as a second line of defense. He stood poised and ready to fight. The grim tension continued to rise as the beast approached. As it eclisped the village in its shadow, Kiyori ordered its long-range fighters to fire up at the massive beast. The time for fear was past. Now, all they could do was fight... and, with the sun's blessing, win.
It seemed that the creature's expectations would be subverted. With its keen eyes, it could see below what could be ostensibly called a fortified city. It did not match the resilience or majesty of the Ihanrii's most basic villages. Crude walls of stone protected equally mundane buildings. Despite this, the creature could also sense a multitude of motes of energy from within that city. The creature had not anticipated such an occurrence. It was mighty, but the beings that wield that energy could disrupt its task, and its core's energy was limited. It could not risk a prolonged confrontation; it had to act decisively. Below the city, the presence of lifa called out to the creature. As it approached the village, the creature's suspicions were confirmed, as a multitude of energies and strange, metallic objects rose up to attempt to strike its underside. The Ihanrii had not been so shortsighted as to have a weak point in the creature's armor. It bore the brunt of the assault with no concern, stone-like bits of its armor dropping off only to immediately begin regrowing. It endured just long enough to avoid damage and to send a single command to its spawns.

"Drop down into the fortification. Occupy those who indwell. Lifa must be secured at all costs."
An already obscured sky became blotted out as from all sides of the beast, strange objects ejected from the creature's armor. Barriers and shields were quickly erected, but they were only so effect as to prevent structures from being outright obliterated from the massive stone missiles. These projectiles then hissed and slid open much like stone sarcophagi, and out came the spawn of varying sizes. It became immediately clear to the sensors in the village that these creatures could manipulate chakra... or at least something akin to it. The piercing shrills rent the silence asunder as a lamb to the slaughter.

Not a moment after the spawn had been deployed, the creature, almost as effortlessly as breathing, shifted just slightly away from the village and dove down straight toward the ground. It was with horror that the defenders could only watch as the creature impacted the sand with little to no resistance, a massive tidal wave of rock, sand and sediment now rushing toward the village's walls due to the disruption before the desert's surface closed up behind it. Though it had not intended to do so, the creature's path took it directly through the tunnel system used to evacuate the civillians to the plateau. While not a great amount of life was lost, casualties were inevitable as unsuspecting villagers were either consumed by the creature's great maw or vaporized from the aura that emitted from its armor. It did not simply burrow through the ground. It swam unfettered like a fish in the sea. Now, those who had already been evacuated to the plateau were cut off from the village, and those who were in the process were trapped in the village, with no way to escape. From the battle that ensued, it was clear that the spawn had tactical intelligence but nothing approaching a heart or conscience. Beams of fire and lightning storms rent through the village.

In mere moments, Sunagakure no Sato became a warzone.

Ignored...a flicker of fury rolled into the narrowed eyes of the Hegemon as his words and actions of coming out to issue a provocation to the beast fell upon deaf ears. A deep breath was exhaled as he watched the beast instead blow past him and straight into the village defenses as the Batista fired arrows as large as a person into the sky like a reverse rain of metal that assaulted the creature's underside. The sword like left eye brow raised slightly, observing how tough the creature's exterior was against the rain of attacks that could reap the lives of hundred of people seemed to only cause some superficial damage to him...yet it was what came immediately afterwards that peaked his interest.
'Master, those are all lifeforms.' A sweet toned voice echoed in his thoughts, before the sensory using slave hadn't been able to identify the different in the chakra signatures due to them being nigh identical in nature, but as the spawns of the monster fell off she could easily disgusting that they were separate entities. 'Keke, seems that this village was doomed anyways...' The demon laughed lightly to himself before he mentally commanded for Hana to create a platform of sand that she manifested extending over twenty five meters in diameter like a small cloud of floating sand under her control (kinesis). As the demonic looking man stepped down onto the platform of sand that had started moving towards the village his majestic looking dark angel wings folded behind him for the moment.

"It is here for something other than the village itself..." The actions of the creature weren't one who was wishing to destroy the village as its main priority, no...it seemed as if there was something beneath the village that it was trying to reach and that the village and its inhabitants were simply something in its way to it true destination. However, still somewhat enraged at the creature as it dove into the sand between the plateau and rhe village's stone a dark purple chakra seeped out from the man's feet spreading across the platform of sand now as he opened a special portal to his personal realm and his war fortress. "Arise..." A single, softly spoken word echoed out from the man's lips and entered into the minds of some of the ruler's personal slaves as they immediately heeded the summoning of their lord.

The first two the rose up from the still spreading portal to the Hegemon's realm was a dark armored figure wielding a flexible, multi bladed whip sword (Toushi) and the one who arose directly on the other side of the demon was a yellow robed figure with a golden mask that stood rather tall and yet the exposed skin not covered by the robe looked dark and sunken in like it was some sort of dried corpse (Tako) hidden underneath. Next was a dragon style puppet (Gogyou) that flew under its own power flying into the air directly above its master assuming a defensive posture automatically upon arriving, wishing to protect its master and destroy whatever stood before it. Lastly from behind a bulky looking figure, cloaked in a ragged looking brown cloak standing around three meters in height towered slightly over the Hegemon (Shi) wielding some sort of launcher like weapon that was held in its metallic looking hands..

These four were the four of his currently strongest slaves if he was to exclude King, but their would most certainly be time later to allow the devil elephant out to play as he found a wide, sinister grin forming across the thin lips of the human body's face. Hand seals flashed together one after another, taking several seconds to complete despite the sheer blinding speed and accuracy that they were being performed at. The dark purple chakra began to flow throughout his body to the point the it began to form like faint flames around his body, even the demon slaves around him took a step back, it was the first time seeing their lord so serious. His hands came together like he was praying as both of his eyes closed. A single mental command went out to the slaves at his command at the moment, "Protect me until I finish this technique..."

The four visible companions formed a four corner style defense at the edge of the sand platform that floated closer to the village and where the large creature had dove down into the ground. Hana and Toge who were located on either wrist of the demon were also on alert while the hidden companion, Wei, whom was merged within his own body continued to maintain her minds eye technique attempting to continue tracking the creature with the largest chakra reservoir. Not bothering to interfere in the turmoil that had broken out in the village as the village nor the lives of those within it held any weight to the Hegemon and instead he was only interested in the creature and what it was searching for beneath the village.

A-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisites: *[Sensory Style • Broad Sense], 30 Control
This jutsu is an even further extension of [Broad Sense]. With this jutsu, a sensor sacrifices quality for quantity. They can view to much greater distances compared to a normal sensor, but their ability to differentiate between people starts to become muddled, meaning multiple people in close proximity will appear simply as a large chakra mass, without the users being able to distinguish how many people are there. By sitting down and meditating, they are able to start to sense further and further away. For each post of meditating, they are able to see 500 meters out, up to a max of posts equal to 1/2 their control (rounded up).

The user will do a series of hand seals before a portal opens up on the ground within 25 meters of the user. The portal can have a diameter of up to twenty five meters and is connected to the Hegemon's shadow realm. Unlike a normal portal, this is a one way portal allowing for any of the Hegemon's slaves, demon Kings, or demon pets (Henches and pets) to move from his realm through the portal. Demon spirits (spirit companions) however cannot use this as a means to enter the owner's current realm. Forms at a speed of [Control] and last for two posts, cannot be used as a means to travel into his shadow realm.


[God's Wrath] - Charged 1 posts
S-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: 50 Chakra Pool and 50 Control
A technique meant solely for complete and total destruction, Zao begins by performing a lengthy set of hand seals before ending on the Snake Seal. From here he has two options available to him; The first being to release the jutsu like normal, or secondly he can instead to hold the seal and continue to funnel more chakra into the technique. In doing so, he can overcharge the technique, causing it's range to grow exponentially in size with each post. In addition, for each post of channeling/charging, Zao loses -3 stamina for the duration of the thread, to a maximum of 5 posts of channeling and -15 stamina. Once this channeling is finished, he will them hold his hands to the sky and release his chakra into the air above him, creating a pitch black orb of pure concentrated chakra. This crackling orb will hover above the earth for a single post, giving Zao and his allies the opportunity to escape before it falls to the earth on the next post at [Control] speed, detonating on impact. This detonation ravages the landscape with [Control] strength. It's range is based on the chart below.
Normal Cast: 110 meter diameter explosion,
1 Post Charging, -3 Chakra Pool: 150 Meter Diameter explosion
2 Posts Charging, -6 Chakra Pool: 200 Meter Diameter explosion

With the amount of chakra that Zao was molding, it was impossible for the creature to not notice the shift in the energy around it, even as it was burrowing deeper into the sand. Though the Hegemon could not perceive the communication between the massive creature and its spawns, such correspondence became evident when, in the midst of their assault on the village, roughly a quarter of the spawn on the outside of the village halted their charge and reared their heads toward the floating sand platform. Multiple sources of chakra flared up on the Mind's Eye of the Hegemon's servants, as fire and lightning streamed up toward them in waves. Though they were not necessarily strong on their own (Katon Beam - 15 Control; Raiton Pulse - 25 Control), the sheer number of attacks which assaulted the Hegemon's transport would require evasion.

Kiyori stared hard at the floating platform and cursed under her breath. There was no telling what foul chakras Zao had learned to wield, but if they made it through this, she would absolutely have a word with him on this. Kiyori and the other defense forces continued to fight valiantly, the Sun's Radiance loosing wave after wave of biting sand to rend the attackers asunder as the other forces lobbed a litany of jutsu and weapons at their enemies. Despite the show of force, though, the battle was far from over. The creatures were resilient, and though the attacks rung true, the armor that stripped from the bodies of these spawns seemed to regrow with decent expedience. This would not be easily won. One could only imagine the regenerative prowess of their master's armor.

Deep within the ground, the creature could now clearly sense the lifa which rest underneath. The liquid which sustained life on this planet was a valuable energy source for the Ihanrii core which powered its functions. In a short period of time, the creature had already made it a quarter of the way to its goal: the massive underground water reservoir. While its objective was not outright destruction, without that vital aquifer, the village would not last. Those that did not die by fire, lightning, and claw would succumb to the vicious heat and blistering sun of the desert. What was once their blessing would become their undoing barring a force that would stop the beast.

The chakra continued to build in between the palms of the Hegemon as the whisper of a rather sultry and smooth voice entered into his mind now. Wei was speaking as her mind's eye technique extended to cover a rather vast portion of the village now. She was not sorting through individual chakra signatures but instead watching the movement of the monster's children and their struggle against the shinobi of the sand village. But as if they were ordered by a higher power a good portion that was closest to where the Demon was just outside the damaged wall were the beast had dove into the sand shifted as a unit. "My lord, we have been noticed." Her sensual voice contained a hint of worry for her lord's safety as this was a rather large number of enemy who had turned.

With his senses linked to Wei's due to the link created by her demonic rebirth at his hands, the Hegemon also noticed and it made him smile due to his ego being bruised a bit earlier as tye beast had ignored him for his own purposes. "Kekeke..." A soft, evil laughter slipped from between the lips of the demonic body's lips not. It was refreshing for the demon lord as he sent quick mental commands to his servants now sending them into action. This inadvertent action caused by him would actually serve to benefit the Sand shinobi as it would help lighten the fighting load in that area.

The first to act was the demon flower on his right arm as she glowed with a mixture or dark and golden chakra as she infused her sand increasing her level of control over her sand as a whole now. (45 control). Her slender half plant half humanoid body had slithered up onto the demon featured hands of her master now with her own hands clapped together. It was at his moment her right hand pushed forward almost like palm strike as a wave of sand fifteen meters wide smashed forward to meet the coming attacks while her left hand pushed backwards. This action caused what remained of the sand platform holding the demon and his slaves to rush backwards to outrange the attacks of the encroaching beast spawn.

As this was happening the wood dragon made a short set od hand seals as it caused a second wood dragon to grow from ita wooden body causing two dragons to now float in the sky. The large cloaked mech, Shi began channeling Ranton chakra into its blaster as its wings spread out from beneath the cloak and it dove off the left side of the platform as it moved back and the other sand wave pushed forward to meet the attacks that reached the group. Circling around to the left flank it raised the Elemental Blaster that was already winding up as teal lighting flicker from within the wide muzzle as the weapon pointed toward the group. A single mechanical looking hand pointed tye special weapon as the turbine and storm crystal inside empowered the strength of the strorm chakra. Then without further warning a massive wave of storm chakra burst from blaster, measuring fifty meters in diamter

[40 strength from spirit, plus 10 additional strength from weapon boost for 50 strength total. After impact secondary splash damage will be 25 ribbons over a 12 meter area]

As Shi was diving off the left side of the platform the dark armored slave, Toushi, crackled with teal lighting around its body as it dashed off the right side. Ranton chakra surrounding his body and the whip sword like weapon he unleashed in the right hand. That chakra formed around each foot as he seemed to step down on the air causing a burst of storm chakra to explode downwards as he pushed forward moving around a few attacks before then pushing off again with the left foot causing a second explosion of storm energy. This full strength step pushed hi mn out to the right flank of the approaching beast spawn (from Zao's perspective), the weapon with for flexible swords glowed with storm chakra as he channeled the building chakra into the blades drawing it back to the side and then over his head. With a powerful downwards slash four large slashes of ranton chakra were released down onto the crowd of smaller beasts.

(25 control + 15 weapon boost + 12 boost from using a nintai technique = 50 Control=strength / 45 speed for ranton blades. Each blade will break apart and form 25 ribbons over 12 meter areas.)

As each slave went to the side the Yellow King channeled chakra into his left arm and legs before stepping forward and descending to the ground from the platform. As it fell to the sandy earth below from the legs thick tentacles began to rapidly grown, eleven in total with each being twenty two meters in length and covered with hook like spikes down the length of the new black appendages. As this occurred from the right arm six thin tentacles crimson in color formed from the arm extending out to the same length at those growining for the legs. The leg tentacles allowes him to reach the ground much ealrier as Tako was able to precisely control his body and as the two Ranton technqiues would land on each flank he would advance. Taking advantage of any confusion caused to allow the hook spiked tentacles and his arm tentacles to rapidly spread out to smash and grapple targets that entered to close, planning to move as quickly as possiblefrom target to target. Not bothering to hold back any strength. Whether it be beast or human, the old king gave no quarters to either if they entered his attack range as he moved forward like a grim reaper.

The clone of the wood dragon started to form hand seals and flew down behind Tako, using the others to descend safety due to its slower speed until it reached the ground. Drawing chakra from its creator as it readied a texhnique to use if needed depending on how well the trio were able to combat the monster wave that dared to threaten their Lord. Meanwhile as the Hegemon watched the quick defensive and offensive actions unfold simultaneously he continued channeling his dark chakra into the small orb forming between the palms. "This should be almost enough..." He assessed the chakra as it condensed into the orb causing faint sparks of dark purple energy to flicker violently around its smooth appearance. Even with his massive chakra reservoir he still felt the drain from using this technique but still smiled wickedly. "...Just a little more and then they will experience true fear..."

As long as they remain in this Stance, they are able to reflexively emit a constant stream of Ranton chakra from their weapon(s) or strikes to enhance their attacks. If this effect is used to enhance an attack(s), the enhanced attack is treated as a double attack, the second attack hitting with a Speed equal to the user's Speed and a Strength of [Control]. Nintaijutsu maneuvers in the Breath of Susanoo style executed while in this stance are granted a Strength value of [Control]. Any nintaijutsu maneuvers executed while in this stance will grant those an unfocused buff of +[Control/2] strength, this also applies to Ranton's splash damage. This does not affect the Strength values granted by the stance itself, only granting them to the maneuvers performed. The user can exit this stance reflexively to conserve chakra. The NinTai stance is of an intensive chakra nature resulting in a drain of chakra pool and stamina depending on the level of control being used.

[Event] The Beast of the Dunes

Post by ShinobiTruth » Sun Sep 13, 2020 11:36 am

Kiyori continued to curse their foul fortune. Whatever Zao was planning to do, she couldn't directly address it. She was needed here to give orders and fight off the main brunt of the creature's forces. Quickly issuing orders to the sensors on the wall, they urgently communicated Kiyori's throughts to the Sand's forces. 'Stay out of Zao's way. Make a momentary retreat back towards the wall and allow the creatures to follow,' she commanded. 'These creatures are strong, but they don't seem to be entirely intelligent. They'll be driven straight into his path. Once he's moved past towards where the creature dove, mount a counter-offensive.' The forces quickly responded, and the move served its intended purpose. The brief backstep of Sunagakure's forces caused the enemy forces to surge forward; thus, when Zao began to cull everything within his surroundings, the only things that were reaped were the ancient beings of stone and alchemic flesh alike, vibrant green liquid splattering the sands.

Weaving hand seals as fast as she possibly could, Kiyori sent her chakra out, and a not-insignificant amount of sand quickly rose from around her. Knowing better than to confront Zao directly while not being able to give her full focus, she opted instead to defend the village. Two of the council members moved to cover her while she prepared her defense. Wide movements matched the formations of the sand, and it quickly became apparent that Kiyori was making multiple dome-like barriers of actively controlled sand directly between Zao and the portion of the village he was closest to, shifting those portions to match his progress in following the massive creature (50 Control). The Kazekage, while ignorant to his true nature, was not ignorant to his intent, it seemed. The reckless abandon with which his servants acted (a number of their attacks wounding scores of sand shinobi) and the dark ominous chakra he wielded made it no longer clear as to whether he was truly friend or foe.

Sueatsu stared hard at the sand where the beast had dove down only a fleeting few moments ago. It seemed unlikely that it would be heading for the prisoners. It had deployed the spawns merely to occupy their time. What could it possibly be...? His eyes sharpened and his chest tightened with a sense of urgency and dread. Water. At the village's deepest point was the water reservoir that served as the village's lifeblood. Without it... their lives would be forfeit. Conveying his message to the sensor unit, Sueatsu blazed across the village into the accessways that took them further below. He had much ground to cover, and there was no telling what was going to happen if he didn't make it in time to stop the creature.
Kiyori's JutsuShow
[Sand Style • Desert Infusion]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: 30 Ninjutsu
Kiyori will channel chakra throughout her body before funneling this chakra into a 65 meter cubed area of sand around her person, infusing said sand with her chakra. In doing so, she enables herself to control the element via Sunakinesis for 10 posts.

[Sand Style • Sunakinesis]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
Having achieved unparalleled mastery over Sunagakure's Sand Style, Kiyori has developed the ability to control, shape and manipulate existing bodies of sand without the need for hand seals, channels or any sort of existing techniques. The range at which Kiyori can manipulate sand is equal to her control times 2 meters. However, she cannot produce sand naturally, and must create sand or infuse existing sand with additional jutsu in order to use Kinesis.

The smaller spawns that fell under the assaults from Zao's servants were simply no match for the force which they faced. However, the larger spawns, though clearly damaged by the attacks that the Hegemon mounted to cull their numbers, did not fall, their armor protecting them from a considerable portion of the damage that would have otherwise been inflicted. Though it was destroyed, it was evident that the material it was made of was not normal, as it quickly began regenerating. Half of the larger spawns, about twenty in total, all charged towards the servants that touched the ground, their bodies crackling with electricity. There would be no honorable duels, no one-on-one battles. Even as some leaped into the air to dive down from above, others attacked on the ground. While they attacked, multiple pulses of Raiton chakra blasted out from each creature (25 Control for each AoE blast). The creature seemed unaffected by each others' pulses, allowing them to continue to attack with unabbeted savagery.

With a haunting bellow that danced the line between living creature and machine, the other half of the large spawns beelined for Zao. The spawns seemed to bear some capacity of communication and strategy. The cry rallied undamaged spawns further ahead of Zao, and they departed from their assaults on the wall to confront him, their bodies also priming Raiton chakra. All in all, both before him and behind him, thirty large spawns blocked the way between him and the entry point for the large beast into the sands.

The creature itself continued to swim further down, currently facing no resistance. Its strategy seemed to be working. It had covered half of the distance between itself and the source of lifa below. It was not so arrogan to allow itself to pause or relax. The grain structure was coarser than near the surface, but its armor was sufficient to continue downward without issue.

The same sinister looking smile of utter satisfaction widened ever so slightly, though this wasn't that maximum output of the technique it was attracting to much attention from others. Knowing he wouldn't be able too continue channeling chakra into it at this rate, the demon extended the demonic looking right hand with its clawed fingers and reddish skin. The dark purple energy condensed in its palm, slowly the palm opened as he the extended a single finger pointing forward causing a simple and small orb of dark chakra to appear about two hundred meters away now.

It was about the size of a basketball as sparks of purple chakra flickered around its own shape like lightning. In a moment, the small orb that appeared just inside the demolished section of the village's defensive wall and about thirty meters from the ground it would fall momentarily, moving at a blinding speed to the earth before erupting into a two hundred meter diameter explosion. This would create a one hundred meter crater enveloping all caught within it, leaving the monster spawn within a hundred meters of the Hegemon and his slaves only to feel the blast wave pass over them. Those who would fall and the collateral damage caused was of no concern, he was not the to protect anyone or anything. Instead this was an opportunity to deal with certain threats to his future plans and potentially capture one of the genma hosts.

Having his full attention arrived back on the spawn immediately to his front that would survive the coming explosion his demon slaves and the largest of the demon spawn who weren't like the rest of the cannon fodder placed before him. Not only did these larger beast have incredible durability but also could regenerate, this definitely peaked the old demon's interest, yet at the moment they were only obstacles obstructing his path to their creator. He ordered his slaves to bound back as one unit as he unfolded the brilliant dark purple chakra wings and formed a series of channeled chakra into the air just out in front of the small sand platform.

Hana's wave of sand had only lasted for a short time earlier allowing get fellow slave companions to initiate a counter attack to hold back the best swarm from their master. It was soon shattered but the demon flower spirit only smashed down with her hand utilizing the sand at her max range of ninety meters causing the chunks of sand that once made up the wide wave to now plummet down upon the beasts out past the other slaves.

Gogyou's clone, protected from the front by Tako who was steadily being beaten back by sheer numbers and the larger spawns that had revealed themselves, release a large surge of chakra into the ground activating its jutsu. A moment later thick roots began to spawn from underneath the sands lashing out and exoanding to cover just over an eighty meter radius from the clone. The clone itself would likely meet its demise within the sprouting forest but its purpose hav been met.

With the release of the Mokuton technique, Tako and Toushi began a rapid withdraw past the clone's position at their max speed. Tako utilizes his tentacle legs to move back while Toushi on the other hand leaped up into the air before twirling his body and weapon to realize another storm nintai technique. As his body twisted a cyclone of ranton swirled into existence around him and pushed outward up to twenty five meters (same strength and spread area as last post) from his center point, creating space for him to retreat as he kicked off the air creating a burst of Ranton that rained down on any beast below allowing him to gain altitude and distance from his attack in order to link up with the retreating Tako who utilized his multiple tentacles to lash at targets as he retreated, both companion slaves moving at their max speed to avoid the wood ninjutsu attacks while leading other beast chasing them into the attacks range.

The only remaining companion in the area was Shi on the left flank, after releasing the massive wave of Storm chakra down upon the approaching beast spawn he quickly shifted to his projectile launcher, on on the left arm and the other revealing itself as it ripped through the ragged cloak on the right shoulder. Both began to fire, the senbon blaster launching three shots from its senbon pods at max deftness (50) and then thirty kunai from the tri-launcher on the shoulder at the same deftness, disregarding the cost of doing so in order to hold back the swarm of beast. It would then activate one function of its back boosters, normally used to fly if the wings were damaged, the other function acted as a pressure blast to send the puppet body rapidly in a single direction, which was what Shi did. Turning his back the wings flared up to ensure clearance from the back-blast as the wind turbines spun up and released a full strength blast of air rocketing the flying puppet fifty meters in the opposite direction of the encroaching horde army.

This maneuver linking him up near the other two fleeing slaves, Tako and Toushi as the trio continued to keep their distance as they arrived just below the sand platform and the Demon Hegemon floated off it with a simple pat of his large chakra wings that looked as though they belonged to a dark angel. Extending his hand out in front of him the former human would summon a demon spirit to aid him, one of his strongest and well equipped: Zoukingu or sometimes called King for short. In a massive puff of smoke revealed a twenty five meter tall demon elephant with a massive tower shield with two largre ten meter fuuin inscribed upon its front, this was Zouking, a demon emperor elephant that served the Hegemon and held the same level of respect from the Hegemon as Tako did. The Demon Hegemon stood upon the beasts right shoulder as the spirit beast began to fall from its thirty meter summoning height with its shield leading the way downwards toward before tilting its shield towards the center of the swarm below.

On its shoulder, the demonic hand and its finger formed a single handed hand seal now, activating Chakra Kai on the top directional explosive seal on King's shield causing it to glow before a massive explosion burst forward and down upon the group of beast spawn that were attempting to move through the Heavenly Forest and its entanglement roots that were still lashing out at anything that came into range of the technique. Those caught being sitting ducks for the explosive attack which contained unbelievable force (50 strength) and would create a nigh hundred meter crater in the wake of the attack, from which the demon elephant drew back its three free left arms and as it fell into the crater itself it slammed all three first into the broken ground executing its "
[Ultimate Earthquake, Meteor Strike]" attack creating a violent earthquake that would rapidly travel out to a two hundred meter radius from King.

This force crushed the earth and caused it to shoot up and twist and grind as it radiated out to the limits of the attack's range, the two companions (Tako and Toushi) who had been retreating leaped upwards and landed upon what remained of the sand platform formed by Hana that now just floated in a stationary position fifty meters behind the Hegemon and King, thirty meters off the ground. As the dust and debris filled the air from King's combination attack with its Lord, the sultry voice of Wei slipped into the ears of her master now. "The beast is still digging further towards an area centralized under the village and another large chakra signature left the main battlefield and seems to being trying to intercept it." It would seem that Suna had split its forces if one of their bannin level combatants moved to slow down the main beast as the Demon only laughed lightly, the memories of its human's past life and the village entering his mind for a moment. "I see, it must be the water its seeking. It will most likely grow stronger if it reaches that point and my chances of turning it into one of my servants will drastically drop..."

The Demon Lord sighed as this was getting very troublesome, his attack and combination attack were enough to permanently change the very landscape and reap the lives of any who didn't escape their range, but this swarm was still proving to be troublesome by the reveal of the larger beast spawn. Though he wasn't exactly sure how they had fared in the latest round of attacks he knew that he couldn't continue to waist time here with them or the Kazekage if she attempted to intervene in his tasks, either. After he was able to clearly assess the situation in front of him then he would make his next move, he would chase after the beast and leave the village and its shinobi to fight for their lives against the remaining beast spawn. As the demon elephant rose after its attack it quickly switched out the attack shield with its strengthened shield and reached across its body with its three free arms to withdraw three fuuin inscribed scimitars as it readied itself for slaughter.

The expulsion of such wide-reaching and viciously powerful attacks certainly did considerable damage to the spawns forces. The smaller spawns that were mixed in with the larger spawns clearly stood no chance as even the initial attacks gouged massive scars in the desert sands, turning stone dust into glass from the intense heat and power. However, even in their deaths, the larger spawns showed their resilience. Releasing a multitude of overlapping shockwaves of lightning from their bodies, they managed to dull the impact of Zao's initial explosion. Though clearly damaged, and their armor stripped away, they survived the first blast, resolutely charging towards the Hegemon's minions and their cacophony of lights, vines, and explosions. The creatures, despite being large, were fairly nimble. While a good number of the large spawns and scores of the smaller were quickly caught by the Ranton ribbons, sand, and roots, their dexterity, combined with the regeneration of their armor, saw that a handful of large spawns from the first group that confronted the Hegemon's servants managed to make it past the obstacles that sought to stop them. Yet, none of them, with all of the damage they suffered, could hope to survive the overwhelming might that King's arsenal brought to the fray. Whatever stragglers remained in this group were quickly wiped out. For a few brief moments, Zao and his minions had the chance to compose themselves.

One particularly stubborn spawn, in the last throes of its life, raised its maw and unleashed a piercing hypersonic shrill. It would not cause any lasting damage outside of an uncomfortable ringing in the ears of those who heard it, but its dying howl had an obvious purpose: to call for reinforcements. It was clear that even the leader of the Hegemon himself would not be able to fend off all of the beasts on his own. If he wanted to defeat the creature, he would have to leave his servants behind and, just as the spawns were doing for their master, stall for time. Otherwise, this same scenario would play itself out until the creature below completed its work... or until their chakra reserves ran dry.
The massive impacts from above vibrated down below the sands and did rock the creature, but the field around its armor prevented any damage, only being enough to give it pause. The lifa was getting closer. Only a quarter of the distance it needed to cover remained. However, it had run into its first legitimate obstacle: solid bedrock. As it had burrowed down, the earth had become increasingly coarse and rough. It would not be able to simply break through. It threatened injuring itself and using an excessive amount of energy. The creature knew it had to rely on the field from its core that allowed it to burrow into the sands. Slowly inching into the bedrock, it began to push, slowly but firmly, the abrading of the stone causing small sparks of light that illuminated the otherwise pitch black in which it swam.

"Lifa close. Must secure. Call the Ihanrii... Fulfill my mission."

As the debris was still falling to the ground like heavy, dirty rain drops from the massive explosion combined with the meteoric strike from the elephant demon, the sharp set of golden eyes look about the field of destruction. A simple sigh escaped the demon's lips as he glanced from side to side now as the remaining companions joined in a formation atop the sand platform the floated just behind King now and their Lord. The last death throes of a stubborn beast entered his ears as the man reached up and rubbed his left ear gently before laughing out load, thoroughly enjoying the scene of death, how long had it been since it had swept through the Demon world in numerous wars in order to establish himself as the omnipotent ruler, what a refreshing feeling it was to crush the weak. But, as fun as it was, he knew that such a battle in his current state was simple wasting his time and energy now as he gave a command for the others besides Hana and Toge to link up. Afterwards he threw Tako a kunai that had been strapped onto his right bicep now, upon catching it the other companions who had been called forth found themselves warped back through spacetime to the Hegemon's war fortress.

"This body really is a useful one...I'm sure that the human would be furious if he knew all his preparations for himself were helping me instead...keke." The Hegemon laughed once more as he focused on the kunai strapped to his left bicep now, one that was connected to its linked kunai near the center of the village within the former Bannin's workshop. Waiting a few moments he allowed the reinforcement call to do its job as many of the monsters that had been pushing against the defensive line of Suna shinobi felt some relieve as a portion were to answer the call of their fallen brethren and rushed towards the Demon's location still outside the edge of the village in the center of a massive crater that stretched inside the edge of the village's stone wall which had once served to protect the village from invasion.

He appeared almost aloof as he conversed with the demon slave fused inside of him, "How far has the slippery beast managed to make it?" Her lord's words echoed into Wei's mind as she had blocked out her senses to focus solely on the creature's massive life signature and also attempt to track the other large source, the Suna bannin attempting to get ahead of the creature. "The creature seems to have slowed down its descent, I cannot tell why, and the other source is still rapidly descending through the tunnel network." He only smiled as he could hear and soon see the next wave of beastly creatures coming his way and from his perch atop of King's right shoulder he was able to also see the battles taking place further away, able to briefly catch a glimpse of the Kazekage and her sand techniques as well. It really was to bad that he couldn't play with her right now as he dismissed his spirit and simply floated in the air with the angelic purple chakra wings flapping slowly now.

He'd learned all that he could for the moment about the creatures before him, they were some fusion of mechanical and flesh, highly durable, and even had regenerative properties. Though they seemed rather simplistic in actions their ability to utilize Fire and Lightning area of effect attacks meant that combating them at close range would be difficult. These insights could prove useful later on when dealing with the actual beast and not his scattered trash that it left laying around the village. Just before they entered attack range from the man he focused his chakra into the kunai still strapped to his bicep and then warped across the village into his workshop far past the defensive line created by Kage and its village nin. Most likely leaving a number of confused beast and shinobi as he burst out of his home after canceling the flight ninjutsu to help hide his side chakra signature more and secondly to also conserve a bit of chakra in the process.

"I went through around twenty percent of my chakra reservoirs learning about those shrimps..." The demon was a bit angered by the fact that he'd already wasted so much of his time and energy messing around with the little beast spawns from the boss beast but shaking his head as he left his home heading more for the core of the village and to a series of hidden tunnels that concealed one of the village's major secrets. As long as his feint had proven effect, essentially dumping all the beast back onto the Kage, the host of the Demon Lord would be able to slip into the underground tunnels without to much hassell in an attempt to close the gap on the Suna Bannin who had already entered those same network of tunnels ahead of him.

The opening caused by Zao's massive attack were soon consolidated by the creature's spawns and Suna's forces alike, their bitter battle continuing as the Kazekage managed to absorb a modest portion of Zao's attack. Her shields would not be enough to prevent significant damage to the wall, taking the shape of massive cracks and even entire small chunks of the wall being obliterated, but the walls themselves as a whole still stood, and shinobi forces were able to escape the blast. This was especially fortunate; had Zao's attack swallowed up the Suna shinobi who were in that area, that would have dealt a serious blow to the defense effort. Still, his diversion worked, as there were none who could reasonably pursue him as he teleported into his workshop and began to bolt straight down the tunnels that Sueatsu had already since entered.

The bannin was only slightly slower than the Hegemon's leader, and so, it was with relative speed that he was able to perceive someone following him, with the relatively quiet tunnels contrasting with the cacophany of battle and death that raged above, and the steady drum of the burrowing creature below. He quickly eliminated Kiyori as the individual in question; they had already communicated through sensors that she would remain above ground, where her powers were most well used. The only other person with enough power to definitively move about without risking reprisal under these circumstances was the one who had approached with wings of putrid purple and accompanied by unholy and unnatural spawns.

Zao.

Sueatsu took a deep breath. He could not allow himself to fail or become distracted. In the end, Zao seemed less interested in outright destroying the village and more interested in their common enemy. He wasn't sure why, but Sueatsu was certain that both he and Zao would have to give their all to fighting this beast. This was a power that could rival even the genma in its sheer magnitude, and this was no time to be holding back.
The creature's strategy was working. It was slow going, but it was gradually drillling its way through the fortified bedrock beneath the earth, that which housed the underground cavern and contained the essential aquifer that housed the lifa. It was close to its goal. All it had to do was reach it, siphon the lifa, and return to the surface from whence it came.

Soon. Soon, the Ihanrii would be notified of their brothers' dark fate. Soon, they would answer the call. Soon... they would come, if only the creature fulfills its final task.

It only took a short time for the crimson horned Demon to navigate through the chaotic streets of the Suna village, his hooded robe tossed over to help hide his demonic natural appearance as he slipped from alleyway to alleyway in order to keep from attracting any unwanted attention from the other shinobi within the village working to protect it and the horde or mechanical beast that flooded their way into the depths of the village. But these small fries, both the beast spawn and the shinobi, were not on the target range of the Hegemon as he finally made his way into the entrance that led him down a spiral staircase and into a concealed room. A few moments later the man passed through the vault like checkpoint that allowed him to enter into the network of tunnel systems that sprawled out underneath the village.

However, this specific network was a classified one and one that few knew about. If not for his own high level of research and archaeology skills and level of status as a bannin, Zao wouldn't even have access to such information. It was perhaps a lucky break for the Demon that now controlled the former Bannin and use that to help himself into the tunnels and steadily descended. As he descended he spoke mentally to the slave within his body, Wei, having her reduce the range of her technique to only encompass around five hundred meters from them now, holding such a large area of sensory was not only taxing physically but mentally.

It was only a short while later that she spoke up, the sexy voice filling his thoughts now as they pressed through the dimly lit tunnel, sparse fuuin seals having been activated that produced yellow light which was enough to allow one to move relatively quickly through the still dim enclosure. "My lord, I think the target ahead has sensed us." This came to a bit of surprise to the Lord, thought he hadn't exactly been quiet he was still moving with some caution and their was still quite a bit of distance between the two camps at this rate, this human was rather impressive...perhaps he'd make a strong slave. A faint smirk appeared on the face of the golden eyed demon as he continued at his steady pace, not wanting to unnecessarily expend any chakra or physical energy due to the battle that loomed ahead.

"This man...keke...." A death filled voice slipped through the demon's lips as he looked ahead into the darkness, speaking to himself in a whisper like tone as he too stopped briefly to contemplate things...perhaps he should wait to take action against this man due to the numerous unknowns with this worm-like beast. Sueatsu...after a few seconds the demonic figure began to once more bound forward, perhaps this other man could prove to be very useful as he too was a well known bannin and former Kage, his strength was undeniable. He would continued to push, not dropping his guard but also not stopping to chat if for some reason the man managed to catch up, if the Suna Bannin wanted to attempt to stop him then they could go down that road but their current destination was the same and perhaps even Sueatsu would assume that their goals at least aligned with stopping the gargantuan beast from destroying the lifeblood of the village: the hidden lake of water. Everything would depend on how the bannin reacted as the pair each raced for the origin of life within the village...

Sueatsu was no fool. He, like Kiyori, had seen Zao's ostentatious and clearly demonic transformation in full view of the village's forces. At bare minimum, there would be outrage from the village. At worst, Zao's allegiance was now no longer certain... if it was even him anymore. It was likely he was now little more than a worryingly powerful husk, and there was little telling what his motives were. It was clear that the individual identifying itself as Zao had no care for the village or its people. Had it not been for Kiyori's efforts, a number of their shinobi would have been lost to that reckless, ominous blast that Zao had unleashed so close to the village's walls. This was something that the real Zao, the Zao they knew, would never do. He was not always a selfless person, but he protected his people. Sueatsu had to operate under the assumption that Zao would backstab him the moment he was given the chance.

He and Kiyori had worked out a contingency plan together through sensors shortly before Sueatsu left their range. It would be a grim business if it came to that, but it would ultimately be the closest thing to ensuring the elimination of an unexpected enemy of the village and, in turn, the village's own survival. With any luck, it wouldn't come to that, and Zao would accept the ultimatum given him should he survive this fight with the beast. If Zao had wanted Kiyori and Sueatsu dead forthwith, he would have used the enemy's armies against them for that purpose. The notion that he had simply chosen not to do so at that moment for the sake of isolating them and fighting them individually was still plausible, though.

Eventually, Zao would catch up to him. They would both progress down the tunnels in dead silence for a time, but Sueatsu's suspicions were practically confirmed. He had no factual basis to follow, for certain, but his instincts were sharp as ever. Whatever this being was, the malice its aura gave off was nothing like the Zao they knew. It could hardly even be called human, which was absolutely in question. Thus, while there was relative calm, he would speak as they bolted down the tunnel. "I don't know what you are, creature... and frankly, I don't care," he spoke. "All you need do is listen close. We both know where our loyalties lie, and we both have a common goal. Neither of us wish it, but we both know the other is necessary for that goal. If you do your part to slay the beast that attacks us, you will be allowed this one chance to leave in peace. But make no mistake..."

Even in the depths of the tunnels, Zao would feel the bannin's killing intent baring down on him. "The moment you raise your hand against the village, I end you. No matter the cost," he entoned, his voice colder than the grave itself. "You would do well to remember that before making any ill-advised decisions."
The bedrock continued to slowly crack and grind away as the creature's seismic field bored into the earth. The creature had to quell its own feelings of impatience, its own urgency. If it mistepped, it would waste vital energy and jepoardize its goal. With an ancient endurance, it bore through the remainder of the bedrock.

The lifa was so prominent in this area that it seeped into the sand just behind the bedrock. It would normally take its time to soak up every last drop, but it was not likely that those who defended this place would leave it to its work. No, it would only consume the heaviest concentrations of lifa it could before retreating to the surface. A lengthy battle would prove a serious danger to its objective.

The final obstacle out of its way, the creature pushed into the home stretch. It would breach the underground cavern in less than a minute.

Zao, or better said the Demon Hegemon, finally managed to catch up to the man who had obviously slowed down a bit in order to allow for the monster to catch up to him. The reasoning was obvious to the old monster that wore the Suna Bannin's body like a piece of armor at the moment. There was no need to speak and instead he simply stayed on his side of the tunnel as he move along side Sueatsu. The other bannin's thoughts were spot on for the most part as the Hegemon had no real desire to help Suna unless that coincided with his own motives, which he wouldn't speak aloud of course at the moment as he was contemplating his next move as they would soon be reaching the inner most sanctum of this tunnel network. 'How is the beast progressing?' His cold voice was sent through his mind into the linked mind of his demon slave concealed within his body, the former Suna-nin and Zao's lover Wei.

Wei had been just managing her own sensory technique, lowering the control to reduce the distance so that it just encompassed the those in the tunnels and the massive source of the beast, as well. 'Lord, it seems to almost be through what ever has been slowing it down.' The demon didn't respond but was able to understand that the bedrock that the tunnel system was carved through was the only thing keeping the Beast from reaching its objective at the moment and that it would soon be through. He needed to intercept the creature before it grew to powerful if he wished to turn the beast for his own objectives. After all he had no idea that 'they' had left such beast here in this realm...

But his thoughts to himself were cut off now as Sueatsu began to speak, the words were of no surprise to him. But at the words a faint laughter slipped through the demon's lips as he turned his head to the right in order to observe the other bannin, his crimson gnarled looking horn and glowing golden eyes could be seen, even in the dim lighting of cave. A provocation smile was flashed towards the man as he turned back towards the darkness ahead as they closed in on their destination. "Kekeke...Little human, insects shouldn't speak so recklessly to gods. You should just try not to die after it arrives..." He didn't speak of his actual goal in this matter but he wished to actually deal a blow to more than just the Sand village using this beast as the heavy hitter, knowing that the other village's (at least Kumo and Konoha) were facing similar threats like the beast before them due to his communication fuuin that was still intact on his neck.

But what he was pondering on was not the soon to come battle, but just who had managed to tap into the secrets of those old ones in order to discover these old weapons...he actually wanted more to get his hands on those unknown figures than the beast. Sadly, this creature would have to do for now and if the bannin tried to get in his way then he could always use another demon slave to continue growing his army of darkness in this realm. If he could deal a blow to Konoha at the same time then that would just be an added bonus...chaos was coming...

Strong suspicions were confirmed. Zao was gone. Whomever now inhabited his body should be considered a credible and immediate threat to the village. It was evident from his strength displayed before that he likely retained at least some of the physical attributes of Zao's body and chakra network. He was on par with the Kazekage in terms of chakra control, and he seemed to command a respectable amount of it. If Sueatsu had to come to blows with the husk, it would likely require everything he had and more to bring him down. It was fortuitous that Sueatsu had a steel mind. He was ready to do what was necessary to protect the village. Hopefully, it didn't come to that, but death is the fate of all warriors. If today was the last day in which the Sun's glory embraced him, then he would gladly charge forward through those gates to the Pure World, however difficult his entry might be. "Haughty words coming from a mere husk. A god you may be in your world, but here, you are still bound by the physical limitations of your host and his chakra. No doubt that flashy display of force took a respectable amount of your reserves," Sueatsu mirthlessly countered, both an insult and a pragmatic assessment of their resources. "I thankfully have the vast majority of my strength intact. We'll ruminate over the benefits of killing each other after the beast is defeated."

Their timing could not have been more fortunate. Not moments after they entered the massive cavern with its underwater lake, several times larger than the village itself and aglow with the visually mythical light blue dancing across the ceiling of the cavern, the far wall rumbled violently before the creature, a massive beast no shorter than two hundred meters in height, thrust its head through the last barrier as the solid rock seemed to dissolve into sand.
The creature pushed forward, and without the bedrock to hold it at bay, finally arrived at the large mote of lifa. The lifa's blue wavelengths lit up the otherwise dark cavern. It had reached its goal. But the creature was also certain that the defenders would dispatch forces to prevent it from completing its mission. It quickly confirmed its suspicions and could not help the confusion. Two? Only two soldiers to face it? The creature was cautious. In times past, entire armies could not have stood against it. If the defenders thought only two warriors would be enough to defend it, they were either delusional... or these two warriors were equal to an army.

The creature assumed the latter.

"Reserve forces, dispatch and attack. Prevent their warriors from interfering with the mission. Utilize any and all force necessary."
From the sides of its armor, no fewer than thirty of the large spawns leaped down and charged toward the pair, some running along the walls and others across the surface of the water. There was plenty of distance before they met, but the pair would not have their quarry so easily. Large stone hoses hissed from all around the creature's head and snaked their way into the waters of the cavern.

"Kekeke..." A sinister laugh that could not have belonged to the former bannin echoed in the tight corridor that the pair were currently racing through, seeking to quickly arrive at the center of Suna's great secret. The source and sole reason that a village even has the ability to exist despite the difficult environmental factors that come with leaving in the middle of a desert. "After I finish enslaving this beast then we'll have to settle out own dilemma." The demonic words flowed easily through the horned figure's lips as he turned, giving his current partner a smirk as his golden eyes seemed to faintly glow in the dimly lit tunnel that they were navigating themselves through at the moment. 'After this beast then I'll be claiming yet another slave with this shinobi. He's got quite a bit of strength it seems as I can recall from the human's memories that he was the ruling shinobi for sometime before the current woman who holds the position. What a favorable turn of events.'

The other Suna bannin was accurate in his thoughts to be on guard from the Demon, as he definitely wished to turn him into another demon slave for his slowly growing army, a strong shinobi like this was a chance that he couldn't miss. Sadly, this dumb creature had to be put in its place before any of that could happen. Though his words about completely enslaving the beast were a bit of a stretch as he wished to use the beast for another purpose. In the end he hoped to still be able to make it part of his own army but if not he would still use its strength in order to deal a blow to is future enemies. The hand carved pathway came to a sudden end as a blue glow of the Lifa washed over the former human's body, it was more impressive than he had previously assumed even causing for him to pause after entering into the large underground area.

'My slave, rest yourself as I'll need your strength later...' The Hegemon communicated with his linked slave as she had been tracking the beast with her sensory abilities up until this point, giving an exhausted exhale the slave was relieved as it had been a burden mentally and physically to continuously maintain her mind's eye active for that length of time. 'As my Lord wishes.' "It has arrived..." His devious toned voice spoke while simply glancing at the Suna-nin with him before focusing across the LIfa water as the trembling of the earth could be felt beneath their feet through the of both of them at the moment.

As if on cue the beast arrived a few moments of themselves, bursting through the last bit of hard sedimentary rock that had protected this mana essence of water before the Hegemon, he had wished to experiment with this strange natural phenomenon for himself but such would have to wait as well. 'This much Life enriched water...how much would this beast grow if it was able to absorb it all?' It wasn't that the Demon Realm's ruler was worried about it growing to strong, he wanted to allow it to grow in order to become a stronger slave in his army but these little pests from before had appeared'. "I'll deal with the one's on the left...human." He spoke in cooperation with the Bannin, but he was sure to push the word human with a rather condescending tone before he held dark chakra began to swirl around his feet and a portal was opened from the Demon realm to the human realm via his mix of spacetime and spiritualism. "Arise my servants..."

With only the Bannin here and himself to face off against the beast, the Hegemon wasn't worried about exposing his true strength like in the open environment above and for the first time prepared to release his powerful army out all at once to help deal with this beast and the bannin, too. Darkness spread out to twenty five meters around him at a speed of ten, while five different shaped dark shadows rose from the inky looking surface that was the color of a dark purple that could be mistaken as black. Color returned to their dark covered bodies, a tall looking humanoid figure in a yellow cloak and golden mask with fuuin inscriptions on both appeared, this was Tako and one of the four Kings that ruled under the Hegemon. Next was a beast like creature that looked like a chimera with the head and upper body of a lion, its fur a dark purple hue while two sets of curved horns grew from its head, its lower body was similar to that of a griffin while a pair of large wings grew from the center of its back, lastly a long snake was attached where one would expect to see a tail as the fur and feathers gave wavy to sleek dark purple and black scales which extended down to the hooded head of the snake; this was Jigoku.

Next was a wooden dragon puppet, the dragon had a mix of original flare and oriental design as its body stretched a bit over three meters in length giving it the look of a small dragon but its power was not weak. The puppet body design sported a wing mechanism that allowed the slender wooden dragon that contained the wood spirit to fly on its own as it circled above both the Bannin and the Demon after passing through the summoning portal to this realm once again. Then to the front of his master appeared a dark armored demon slave with a whip like weapon held in the right hand, this was Toushi whom was a former Kumo bannin who crossed paths at the wrong time with the Hegemon and was converted to be a strong slave of the demon. Last was a wide shouldered, cloaked figure with what looked like a mechanized appearance from what one could see of its exposed arms that held a cannon like mechanism as it readied to fight as well. This was a storm spirit that Zao had previously converted into a spirit puppet but after being infected with the Demon's dark chakra it had become a mere slave like the rest.

But the creature from the Demon realm was not quite finished as it still had a few more pieces to place on the board, his hands came together like a set of prayer hands as a swirl of dark chakra formed around his body with enough pressure to allow even those without the ability to sense chakra to feel it. It would take a moment for him to complete this part of his plan and thus he sent ahead his five demon soldiers to begin the battle, among them the golden vine on his left forearm (Toge) also joined the fray as the Hegemon issued out mental orders to the group. Toushi and Tako would take up the front as the Yellow King's left arm transformed into a large mass of flesh extending out and growing as it did to reveal a shapeless mass covered with several mouths that seemed to stretch off the flesh mass biting at anything that opposed its wielder while the demon's legs disappeared as long thorny tentacles took their place as he moved to intercept the beasts. To his side was Toushi who's body began to become surrounded with Storm chakra as blue and yellow sparks of energy flickered off his dark armored body. The whip sword weapon was drawn back and slashed forward releasing a storm dragon at his max control (25) which was empowered by his sword (+15) and Nintai stance (12) to create an enormous forty meter long dragon that raced forward at (45) speeds surpassing all but the most talented of shinobi

Tako would follow the dragon, allowing for it to move first and be controlled by the demon soldier of his King, before he would then utilize the devouring mass and leg tentacles to lash out at targets attempting to entangle and devour the half mechanical creatures. A mass of wood grew from the wood dragon puppet forming into an identical looking clone that pushed forward but didn't enter the fray as earth colored chakra circulated within the puppet body as the wood clone formed hand seals, preparing a strong Mukoton technique. As the wood clone moved forward the mechanical looking slave leaped into the air as a set of shiny wings broke through the fabric of the cloak hiding its appearance allowing it to fly to an altitude of thirty meters and just above the wood dragon as it pulled forward the blaster it had been holding. Beginning to channel storm chakra into the mechanical device that could be seen inside of the weapon as the chakra started to build.

The last of the five, the chimera like beast was joined by Toge, the demon plant as the plant glowed with golden chakra before its body transformed into a twenty five meter long version of itself, growing additional Venus flytrap like mouths and 'arm' tentacles now as the large beast moved to the left as the chimera (Jigoku) did the same as both worked together attempting to tie down any beast that weren't hit by the storm dragon technique of the whip swordsman. Both were not quite as strong as the other demon servants but working together they should be able to at least tie down some of the creatures that attempted to approach their master. Toge attempting to wrap and stab at any creature that entered its attack range before it would then use its flytrap like heads to devour or bite them while the chimera would attack from above used its horns, large teeth, clawed feet, and serpent tail to assist.

While the servants went forth the former Suna bannin looked to his right without actually moving his head, observing the fellow combatant as he'd never actually seen the man's power due to Zao having no memories of it. He would need to observe the strengths and weaknesses of the man in order to take care of him later on in the fight. The Hegemon was still channeling chakra which swirled around his body as the dark shadow portal still remained around him as if bluffing that he could bring forth more servants like the five he summoned forth from his own spirit realm...how would the former Kage perform? The Demon had high hopes for what he considered to be his future servant. His creatures/slaves fought based on a hive mindset allowing their coordination to be seen at a high level from the perspective of an outside eyes as orders were given with just a thought of their Lord as his enveloping strategy started to unfold on the battlefield...a great strength but something that could also be a glaring weakness.

[Event] The Beast of the Dunes

Post by Taiga » Thu Oct 15, 2020 5:21 am

Even after all those years of being gone some things never changed- or they did? Jinn had been back in the village proper for less than 24 hours and as he sat and a dingy tavern enjoying warm sake and sun-baked pork something caught his attention. Muffled from within the stone building, worn away by eons of sand, the man had heard just enough of a feint ringing to draw him outside the shop. Upon exiting, Jinn's eyes shifted about as his ears perked up. Alarms all over the village went off. Something big... was going on. Something big enough that saw more shinobi mobilizing than he had ever seen before. It seemed the city was evacuating further behind more of Sunagakure's eyes.

Sueatsu and others passed by in a hurry, but still pausing to take it all in, Jinn nearly stood still. Eventually all the shinobi rushing by disappeared, and all that was left were civilians and academy students aiding in their village duty and overseeing the evacuations.

I guess perhaps I should help...

Jinn drew his hood up over his head as his swarm simultaneously fanned out throughout the city taking in all that was going on. Moments later, he would head for the source of great commotion from the roof tops. Upon arrival, noticing a group of creatures that seemed to be fighting with shinobi forces. The force guided all things. Leaping off of the building he drew his relic blade, the humm of the heat resonating throughout the area as the light of the heat shown bright. In one tremendous cleave he would slash down at the head and back of one of the creatures, then immediately thrust his palm out at another, pulling it towards him. He would shift his blade so that it would impale on it.

There is no emotion.

Without wasting movement and in a fluid manner he would unignite his blade and let the corpse of the beast fall to the ground before leaping at the next beast, his blade igniting once more to bisect it.

There is only peace.

Post by ShinobiTruth » Sun Oct 25, 2020 12:18 pm

The spawns in this area were significantly weaker than those on the outside. Jinn would find that the first two spawns were indeed dispatched without much issue. With that being said, the larger spawns, which were nearly double the size of the two he'd just slain and hummed with the biting power of lightning, were also spread out in various areas of the village. As a massive, purple explosion clashed against an equally impressive series of sand barriers, it was clear that this battle was on a scale that Jinn had never witnessed, and it was being waged on multiple fronts. He had choices as to how to proceed.

The Grand Library was being assailed by a group of five of the smaller spawns, which seemed to have fire-based breath weapons. While the walls of the library were sturdy, it was only a matter of time before they fell, and one lone genin who had been fighting one of the spawns had been forced to retreat due to clearly visible burns on his arm.

Further toward the east wall of the village, near the Village Administration office, several large spawns appeared to be in combat with another Hizashi, who flitted through the air like a cardinal. She seemed to have easily dispatched one of them, but a mechanical screech rang out, no doubt a call for reinforcements.

The main forces were fighting outside of the wall with the Kazekage. There were still scores of the large beasts, which boasted armor and control over lightning, fighting against the shinobi lines. It seemed that even jounin were finding these creatures challenging. Kiyori's mastery over the sand was affording their forces much needed protection and strength, but every last bit would help.

Finally, Sueatsu, being the village's preeminent Taijutsu combatant, made a beeline for the tunnels under the village. He was soon followed by what could ostensibly be called a man with deep violet horns protruding from his head. From the side, it looked like one of the village's legendary Bannin, Zao... though clearly, something had changed. Should he seek to fight against the massive beast that had driven itself deep into the sands, he would do so at his own risk.
The battle begins. Six of the large spawns are caught in the wide-sweeping attacks of the Hegemon's cronies, the sheer range of the attacks ensuring their demise. Though their armor prevents them from going down in one hit, the volume of techniques launched in their direction make certain that they do not escape. It is through their deaths, however, that the aptitude of the spawns is made more clear. Three of the spawns cease their advance, taking clear note of the maximum ranges of the techniques just launched communicating to their rushing brethren through coarse, metallic barks. Then, they crouch on the surface of the water while charging their potent raiton chakra. This tactic seems odd at first until the remaining six beasts, also charging the chakra in their armor, vault off of their crouching companions high into the air. The three which served as the vault points soon followed on the surface of the water, all nine spawns' armors fully charged.

Sueatsu, though about to engage with his foes, noticed the tactic from the spawns fighting the being identified as Zao, and he took to the sky, leaping off of the surface of the water. With his impressive physical strength, he soundly kicked the first beast he encountered squarely in the face, causing the spawn's neck to crumple and telescope almost entirely into its body with a squelching crunch while vaulting off of the limb of another spawn which undershot its leap. Grabbing the desecrated body of the spawn he'd just dispatched, he flung it behind him with his full strength into its companion, the armor breaking so cleanly as it made contact that the pieces of the shell meant to protect the spawn served to kill it, massive shards impaling its insides as they both fell below the water in a mighty splash and spray of green fluid. Sueatsu kicked off of the air to avoid a third spawn, demonstrating further his capabilities with Taijutsu. Despite being only one man, quick, efficient strikes were making quick work of the spawns, though perhaps not as quickly as Zao's horde of demon folk.

It was this decision that protected Sueatsu from what was to come but what likely exposed at least several of Zao's underlings to the oncoming barrage. All at once, the nine spawns facing Zao's underlings each unleashed an aura of Raiton chakra (25 Control). Though individually, the auras were not enough to pose a significant threat to the Hegemon's servants, both the sheer number of auras, as well as the electricity being conducted into the water beneath their feet, would no doubt cause some damage to the Hegemon's servants. Evading was unlikely, both due to the proximity of the spawns auras as well as the significant amount of space it would cover.

[Event] The Beast of the Dunes

Post by Taiga » Mon Oct 26, 2020 11:49 am

Jinn's force reached out through the immediate areas of the vilage- until finally he felt something strange. It seemed the midis had found a young shinobi desperately fighting against a smaller mob. Jinn hated to play hero, but he felt that was where he would be best needed and whisked off towards the Grand Library to help him.

'This aura is like the other ones...' From his position in the back of watery battlefield the demon was quietly observing the unfolding scene before him, the creatures didn't appear to be any different than the mod which the Hegemon had engaged with on the outskirts of the village in terms of tier and ability. Perhaps this was the limit of the creature? Letting out a brief sigh at the thought of this being all that the creature was capable of currently the fight continued in front of him.

The long tentacle like legs of Tako along with the giant mass of demonic flesh that had several months had been decimating the creatures that came into range where struck by the elemental lightning aura given off by some of the creatures no causing them to draw back as numbness could be felt in the extremities. It caused the old King to sneer from behind the golden mask that stretched up combining with his crown. Hearing the order from his Hegemon mentally telling him to pull back the creature endured the pain in his affected limbs and started to fall back creating a gap between the monster's spawn and itself.

Toge and Jigoku were handing their own, able to work as a team because of their own lack of individual strength as they were able to conquer a handful of the spawn before they began to encounter those with a strange electric aura that. With their lacking strength there were forced to withdraw suffering damage from the aura and limiting their mobility. Shi covered them as he released the charging elemental blaster down upon one side of the war zone as the fifty meter diameter mass of storm chakra burst forth devouring the spawns that the two spirit pets were fleeing backwards from. The forty deftness attack was empowered by the blaster itself that increases the storm nature attacks from its by ten, empowering the attack to fifty strength and speed. Smashing into the left flank of the monsters before exploding to cover additional area in piercing storm ribbons.

On the other side of the battlefield was Toushi, who watched as his massive storm dragon dove down into the herd of strange mechanical fleshy beasts, exploding after the impact in the exact manner as Shi's storm chakra attack began to move above the battlefield as storm chakra exploded from the demon slave's feet allowing it run across the air. Each of the four whip like blades attached to the sword's hilt began to glow with powerful storm chakra as the sword demon pushed higher into the air above the right half of the battlefield. Twisting his whole body the whip like blades came around and four twenty five meter long slashes of storm chakra were released down onto the horde below. Each traveling at 45 speed and crashing down with fifty strength before exploding to cover the nearby area in cutting ribbons of storm chakra. This would also aid the Yellow King to safely move back from being affect of tangling with the lightning aura spawn.

All this bought their master enough time to release the next step in his plan against the old one, his eyes barely able to keep track of their partner in this adventure whom was sweeping through the spawns with incredible Taijutsu prowess that even the Hegemon had to admit was beyond the realm of all but the legendary shinobi of the past. 'I need to look for a gap to get rid of him, as well...' The swirling chakra of the abyss that put of the aura of death seemed to almost explode as the man opened a link between his own fortress and this worlds summoning forth: the flying demon ape Tarou, a twenty meter tall with its fuuin covered armor and thirty meter tall fuuin covered spear blade; the giant demon elephant King, a massive black skinned elephant with fuuin covered armor, a handful of curve bladed swords found on its waste as a set of fuuin covered shields could be found hung from each shoulder; a three headed serpent named Apep, with its scales a mixture of blood red and black as the six pair of slit eyes looked across the battle field with dark purple dripping from the corners of each of the snake heads mouths.

But it was the last summon that was brought fourth that was different than the others, at first it might have been confused with a dark cloud that circled around above the Hegemon and the other three demon spirits that he had brought over into the human realm. Glancing towards the Suna bannin's area of the battle field the Demon Lord simply smiled as the swarm of demon crows all cried out as their caws echoed through out the under ground chamber before they flew forth not hiding any of their power towards him and the beast he was fighting. Their speed and strength revealed (fifty) as they would be able to easily drill through the beasts in an attempt to surround and attack the Bannin at the same time fro all sides.

As the birds attacked the Suna-nin, and the storm chakra explosions rocked the battlefield the three headed serpent summoned ten senbon (serpent senbon) into the mouth of each snake head before spitting out in front of her as the thirty senbon slashed through the center of the battlefield (at thirty strength), the massive senbon were giant two meter long needles. Though their strength wasn't quite at the level of the other major demon slaves under the Hegemon's feet, she fought to overcome the lack of pure strength through the number of projectiles that she spit forward at the enemy in front of her. As the demon snake attacked straight ahead, the demon ape spread its wings and leaped into the air with a hard flap of the bat-like wings, giving the beast additional lift as it began to rapidly spin as it flew above the mechanical beast below.

Tarou's long spear covered in fuuin markings began to rapidly stab down at the beasts below, using its full thirty meter length to the demon spirit's full advantage now and the opening that was created by the serpent whom it had worked with for several years under the command of the former Suna Bannin: Zao. King was under different orders and used the explosions on either side of the battlefield and the cooperative attacks in the center to leap upwards with all of his strength, the tightly packed and chiseled muscles that bore the scars of war tensed before giving it explosive strength as it leaped up and over the flying position of the demon ape. A set of three swords were wielded by the right arms while two of the three left hands wielded the set of two tower shields.

His target was the beast himself, the big boss of these mechanical slime that filled his view, how dare they stand against his master so defiantly...it was truly infuriating for the demon as it adjusted the surface of the outer shield which held a single ten meter fuuin remaining on its outer surface. This directional explosive seal was released by the free hand which formed the hand seal for Chakra Kai. Which in turn released a fifty strength explosion outwards that was aimed for the head of the beast and would encompass any minions that were to close to the beast as it attempted to seal away the life force of the Suna village. The Hegemon carried less if the Suna village crumbled into nothingness, he was more concerned about the beast increasing its strength to the point that he wouldn't be able to make it submit.

Clinging to the thick, fuuin inscribed shoulder plate of his armor, Zao watched the battlefield from a new vantage point as the pair used the explosive strength of King to achieve a high altitude as chakra began to stretch out from the man's upper back in the form of dark wings. Then dark chakra began to swirl faintly around the man's right arm, continuously building in strength as he waited for his counterattack to unfold and see the effects of his battlefield control, hoping to kill two birds with the attacks on the Suna Bannin and the old behemoth. If he could acquire both of them than his power would truly skyrocket...and if he couldn't obtain the beast than he had other plans for its destructive power.

JutsuShow

* Kushou・The Swallow Rides the Wind
C-Ranked Taijutsu Maneuver
Prerequisite: * Kushou・The Swallow Takes Flight
The user of this technique must first launch themselves high into the air as if with The Swallow Takes Flight. They will then begin to spin and unleash a flurry of blows from above. The user is capable of performing up to three strikes in the air, each of them prolonging the user’s airtime. The Swallow Rides the Wind is useful as it maintains the advantageous high ground and all of the forward momentum toward the opponent throughout all of its blows, giving the user an effective +6 Strength and -6 Control for the three blows.

* Kushou・Bundling Straw
C-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
This technique is a kind of mental preparation for the constant movement and spinning involved in the Kushou style. This enables the user to gather snippets of vision, sounds and tactile sensory information in order to be properly aware of the battlefield around them whether standing still or in rapid circular motion. The user is effectively aware of their surroundings within 25m of their person, able to recognize when attacks are coming and the body positions of opponents.

* Kushou・Unfolding the Fan
C-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
While rare for a practitioner of Kushou-ryu to be on the defensive, this technique is designed to facilitate effective defense against other close ranged opponents. The user of this technique is constantly aware of distancing between the opponent and themselves, and therefore will aim all of their strikes to prevent the opponent from closing the gap using their long weapon. This will make it extremely difficult for those with less skill than them to get close to the user safely without somehow neutralizing the user’s weapon.
Apep - Spit out thirty senbon in a fan in front of her at thirty strength and speed as Tarou attacked with his spear from above while flying.

King - Released his last directional explosive seal after leaping over Tarou and Apep's attacks in an attempt to attack the head of the main beast, activating the directional explosive seal releasing a fifty strength explosion down upon the beast's head and anything within range of the explosion


Zao - Standing on the shoulder of the Demon Elephant and using chakra wings before channeling chakra into his right arm for next post.
[Chakra Wings]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
After channeling chakra the user will focus on making the chakra collect around their back as the chakra is shaped into four large wings, these end up looking similar to feathery angel wings. The wings each measure just over two meter in length and just under and one meter wide at their widest point. These wings are able to flap and are strong enough to allow the user to fly for up to 8 posts. The user can only fly up to 30 meters in combat but higher outside of combat. The user is able to fly at a speed equal to their [Control] stat, up to a maximum of their [Speed] stat.
