Serious: The Greatest goal, one last obstacle before the new world In Alabasta ((ENd and Closed))

Kin had heard there was a battle going on this island and decided to offer up his services. 100,000 beli payment for each emergency operation seemed like a discount in his mind. Money made the world go round and it equaled power. Even the World Government gave into the demands of a pirate if he paid them enough money, and he planned on getting as much money as he wanted.

Reaching the beach of the island, he saw that the battle was much farther along the island and he'd need to walk quite a bit if he wanted to get there in time. Time is Money anyway.

Derge Sr. stood his ground, he simply raised placed his arm in front of his midsection. It was as if he was going to sacrifice his arm. Why would the marine do something like this? He was fast enough to jump back and avoid it. The reason was soon made apparent. "Tekkai" Mumbling the word before the blade hit, Derge Sr.'s muscles hardened. With his body already hardened from his life return, Derge was able to block the sword with the sharp edges on his arm without taking more than a nick of damage. As the ice slowly went up his arm, he was able to counter without anything holding him back.

"Shigan"

With impressive speed, Derge Sr. used his now dagger like finger to stab at Delia. It was aimed for her jugular, and would cause a mortal wound if it hit anywhere in her chest area. The wound would be similar to being shot with a high caliber rifle at point blank range. Knowing only two well that there would be reactions to his actions; Derge Sr. used soru to leap high into the air. While jumping he launched off a barrage of rankyakus down at Clearwater; of course she wasn't the intended target, rather anyone to tried to save her or attack Derge before he had moved when he was attacking the icy captain.

Darnel
Darnel snarled at seeing another anubis commander coming toward him "Nakamaru with me now. Lets take down Tanith. If we take him down we can use him as a bargining chip against Anubis." Darnel withdrew his nightstick from his side running toward the commander "You are so worried about Anubis, but its you who is in danger." Even though Tanith might not be an ability user Darnel's weapon was made from seastone. The lining of the weapon would bruise a rhino. It would certainly hurt Tanith. It was Tanith against Darnel and Nakamaru.

Maria
Maria was frozen solid like a statue. She couldn't speak having her tongue and inner body covered by ice crystals. Her body had to be defrosted immediately or suffer irreversible damage. Then her savior came. Morbuis it seemed she might survive the day after all.

Delia couldn't underestimate this man in any second, and when he had blocked her attack solely with his arm and not take damage she knew she had to take another approach as to inflicting damage on Derge. Luckily Barius was close enough, so maybe she could replenish her ice if-

The captain was quick, avoiding the finger aimed to her throat and was lucky enough that it hadn't touched any part of her body when she moved to the side, the finger going through empty space of air. She took the opportunity when he jumped up to move closer to her first mate but cried out in surprise when she had to dodge a barrage of his attacks afterwards. To her now it wasn't how graceful she was able to dodge, but how quick she could and as she jumped and rolled away from the Rankyakus she made it her goal to get as close to Barius as possible.

When she found an opening the captain immediately clung to it. "Barius, throw it!" she exclaimed with urgency as she kicked up into the air before one of Derge's attacks hit her. The man nodded and without waiting another second he launched his arm back then with inhuman force brought it back forwards, the gourd he was holding spewing out the crystalline water it was holding directly to Delia. The captain sighed in relief for a brief moment when she got soaked all over before smirking lightly as her gauntlets formed once more as well as the guards on her legs.

Once that happened Barius caught his captain before she fell to the ground and twirled just once, putting all of his strength in that launch as he cried out when he let his captain go as he aimed her right at Derge. For her it was a very risky move, letting her sword stab the ground as she pulled back her arm and aimed her punch at the marine's skull while her reinforced kick was launched to his mid-section, aiming to bring him down back to the earth to continue their fight there.

"Geppou" Derge Sr. kicked off the air as soon as the woman was thrown into the air. He side stepped the woman with a graceful ease. She whizzed by him, the air she produced was chilled like her very personality. A simple straightforward attack like that wasn't going to work on Derge Sr. It was much to easy for him to maneuver in the air; an ability his foe did not possess. "Rankyaku Grande" With a kick sideways kick the marine launched a massive blade of sharp air at the back of the unsuspecting pirate captain.

At the same time the marine had shot off in a different direction. He was heading towards Barius. Derge Sr. pulled his arm back as if he was going to knock the pirates block off with a single punch. However with his other arm, Derge Sr. grabbed the stationed sword in the ground. Spinning around to avoid any counter from Barius, the vice admiral slashed at the strong man's back with Clearwater's sword.

- Flash back -

A young man is seen sitting on his ship while playing with what appears to be a flower made of paper, he is on his way to Alabasta hearing rumors of a war between the Yonku Anubis and the marines. It was obvious innocents would get hurt in the incident, so it was his job to finish this as quickly as possible. His Blue eyes looked into the Dark ocean, his white Jacket still being worn in its usual closed fashion, and his silver hair being as messy as always underneath the white hood. He was almost relaxed at the moment, this was referred to as the calm before the storm.

Suddenly a ringing was heard on his pocket, he took out out only to hear Derge Sir's voice. It was simple, he was to wait inside the palace till he knew he should exit.. Nite didn't respond but Derge Sr. new his answer was without a question going to be yes.

- Now -

Nite was waiting on the palace, sitting down on the edge of a design crafted by the brilliant people that made the place. his legs loosly in the air and his eyes looking directly at Anubis.

"Sand.. we're at a huge disadvantage in the dessert.. and that Gael, he's a.. or at least he used to be a shichibukai.. I better make the surprise count" (Nite's thoughts)

In an instant 15 paper Tsubame birds appeared around Nite, they fluttered around like normal birds would, but these were very different. In an instant the birds moved towards Anubis in half the speed a bullet travels (Around 1000-2000 feet per second). It would make them look like projectiles being thrown at Anubis at the speed they were going, only a well trained eye would see them as birds rather then fast objects. The birds reached Anubis's position in less then a second, and attacked from the back. In an instant Nite snapped his fingers, and all of the birds exploded.

If this attack had worked it would had attacked Anubis from the back, and he would've felt the power of 15 spontaneous explosions around him. Nites position still wasn't likely verified so easily, as he was high on the palace they were fighting to get into. Nite took out his notebook, and attempted to write down Anubis's responce.

(Chusei Behind Payne)
Only slashing payne back which bade a carving of a star on his back. Inflicted Payne with poison. As his Flaming hand moved towards his throat Chusei attempted to slice off his Arm with.

"Ocean Slash!" SLashing with his Dark blue katana at superhuman speeds and with the Jet Dial's Ocean watercated the blade as he attempted to dowse the fire on his arm. And sever it.

At the instant he threw the Blazeing Cannon Chusei used "Green Reflect wall as a 25 by 25 ft green reflect wall appeared and reflected the Blazeing cannon's back at Payne. As the Dadly Fire Spear moved towards Chusei he used.

"Green Reflect Kick!" Kicking at te Fire spear with super strength at the exact moment of Chusei creates a green reflect wall on the bottom of his foot which adds the aditional force of a reflect wall. Which blasted the Spear at Payne with unimaginble force.

Seeing Derge Sr attack Anubis's Members Chusei didnt have any remaining time to fight with Major Payne.

Useing Shadow Soru Chusei Kicked off of a 5 by 5 foot Red & Green reflect Wall he had just created under his feet. As the Red reflect wall reflect his leg's it pushed him to an even faster speed. Then useing Jet Dash cusei activated the Jet dials in his Jet Boot's which he then used 5by 5 ft green reflect walls to reflect the massive amounts of wind under his feet pushing him even faster. Practically blinked away at incredible speeds towards Anubis. As he was doing this he switched out his blue sword for a red one.

Sunndely Chusei could Hear the fluttering of strange birds from a distance . Unleashed A barrage of Fire Air cutter which burnt the paper birds. Seeing that they where normal paper birds kinda dissapointed chusei.

SUddenly as Ashley fired Bullet's at Anubis Chusei created red reflect wall's to bounce the bullet's away from anubis. Suddenly somthing powerful trembled from below ground. CHusei shouted at Anubis in a panic. "Anubis! Under you!"

(Ashley Near Anubis)
As Ashley Approched Anubis She stopped 30 feet away from Anubis as used Soru to sped around him fireing an onslaught of Bullet's from her rifle.

While she distracted Anubis Sharpfang in His Spiral hollow form. WHich included mini thrillar blades all over his body and his teeth that would shred anything into bits Had Tunneled from under Anubis Attempting to wrap his Mini thrillar blade body around anubis and finishish it off with a deadly poison minithrillar bite to his neck.

At the moment Sharpfang rose from the ground Ashley perposly missed with her Rifle shots. She didnt want to hurt sharpfang after all she hoped and prayed her diraction tactic's worked.

((Immune to my own fire..and I shot the Blazing Cannon at Hibiki, not you. He shot it through the fire.))

Pain leaned backwards to evade the mans sword attack and then stepped forward. Shifted his arm to the right of the blade, and pushed his arm forward pressing it against his attackers own wrist. He then pushed his arm to the right causing the blade to move out Pains own person. Pain then took the chance to strike the attacker in the face with an open palm fire strike with the same arm he used to block with. Pain watched as the attacker attempted to flee. Completely stopping his assault on him instantly. Pain watched as he began to dash away using what ever ability he had. This was sad, Pain held his arm up and stopped the spear in mid air. He then pushed it back towards the boy at a very powerful and violent speed. Since his back was turned, dodging the attack would be difficult. Pain pushed the spear and it flew towards the boy as it aimed to pierce right through his chest.

"..Naive Child.."

Pain then used Soru to sprint pass the attacker with ease. Lifted his left leg up as he stood on his right. Spun around with a round house kick, and attempted to kick the attacker dead into the ground. Using all his strength, he attempted to knock him out cold. Quick and Easy, so he could thus head towards the new faces on the field. Pain didn't want Derge Sr to kill anyone. Though the Noise boy was still a problem.

Chusie's attack hit 7 of the 15 birds being sent to Anubis, but they didn't explode. Nite chose when to have them explode, and it would not be out of striking distance from Anubis. The birds that were sliced were returned to their original form with Nites paper powers and continued to move towards Anubis, but this time they were far behind the other 8 that were heading Anubis.

The First 8 exploded once they got near Anubis, while the other 7 started moving towards Chusie from behind, in an instant they were behind Chusie while he was yelling, his voice zoning out the one second of the fluttering heard from the birds. Without warning the birds exploded behind him, having both the element of surprise (since Chusie thought he destroyed them) and the element of stealth (since he took advantage of the yelling) Nite assumed Chusie would be dealt with, or at least hurt. He continued to write on his paper, the words on his notebook magically appearing without his eyes looking at it.

He seems quite fast.. but that can also be a weakness, quick to judge can lead to certain death in a battle field. (Nite's thoughts)

Nite looked down at the.. animal? that attempted to attack Anubis, the women smiling must've had an accomplice.. the war was getting more interesting, and not a single civilian in site. Nite was already creating more birds, and made them flutter in another direction, he would make them think the attacker was in an area that the attacker wasn't. For now the birds were moving 2000 feet per second in another direction, in one post they would return from the left side as opposed to Nite being in the back.

(1 post before tsubame birds return)

(Chusei Near Anubis)
Just before:The Water from the blue katana extinguished the Burning wrist grap as a red reflect wall appeared and reflect his hand back with the same speed he had unleashed. At this instant is when Chusei used Speed out of the way.

Present: Chusei could hear Payne caseing after him he could even smell his stinch as he met Paynes Kick with his own useing.
"Red Reflect Kick!" Useing the Jet Dial's In his SHoes he met Paynes kick Super strength with his right foot. Right at the exact instant his Foot made contact a reflect wall appeared in front of Payne's Kick. Which added aditonal force to Chusei's kick which also reflect his Leg backward sending all paynes strength back into his foot. Which would most likely break the bones in his foot. Chusei then used

"Blue Reflect Coating!" An blue reflect coating appeared around Chusei which can reflect average attacks.

Suddenly Chusei could hear the 7 bird's from behind him. Ignoring them he made a fatal mistake as they exploded. The Blue reflect coating cushioned the blow but it instantly shattered sending Chusey flying 6 feet.

Landing on the ground he slowly rose to his hands and knee's blood dripping from his body with some internal damage. If it werent for his intuition of the Blue reflect coating Chusei surly would have been far worse off. Regaining his Composure he Sheathed two of his Katana's as he arose.

Suddenly Chusei charged at Payne as he used.
"Jet Triple Blinding Samuria!" Suddenly a brilliant flash of light came from chusei's sheaths blinding anyone with there eyes open. As He Used slashed Air Cutter from His Mouth Katana Point blank in a horizontal motion. And Used a Water slash and a Lightning Slash aimed at Both Paynes arm's. If not blocked Chusei would resheath his Katana's

(Chusei Inside the Fire Dome)

"Green reflect Box x 20!" a 6 5ft wide by 10 ft long 6 sided Green reflect box appeared around Chusei's body. then adding another foot to each box Chusei created a total of 10 Green reflect boxes around his body.

As the giant fists hit the Green reflect wall's they where reflect back into the dome. Everytime a Green reflect wall shattered from too much force Chusei replaced it with another Green reflect wall.

Giving him enough time to come up with a plan. Suddenly Chusei destoryed the reflect wall between attack's as he used his Crimson Katana in his mouth.

"Mirage Of Death!"Uses his red sword and a series of strange movements to create 7 illusions of himself. With the extream heat from the dome his mirages where amplified as all 8 chusies ran in opposite directions to the edge of the dome. It a Giant Fire fist came to close a green reflect wall appeard leaving Payne unaware of the true chusei.

As the 8 chusies came to the edge of the wall they used there Crimsons sword's to slowly drain away at the fire dome. Only the real chusei was sucking the hell flame into his sword while the others where a distraction.

(Chusei vrs Payne)
The second the wall were enclosing CHusei used Blue reflect coating. While still draining the fire from the dome he used his a series of water cutter into the side of the wall he was draining as he Used Jet Blast! Blasting through the dome.

The Blue reflect coating shattered As Chusei passed through. Burning most of his clothing steam coming off his body and giving him first degree burns from passing through the diminished fire wall. As the hot pain burned chusei gave Payne a slight smile as his crimson eyes watched Major Payne Come at him like a giant flaming bullet.

"Shadow King Gun!" Chusei places all three of his Swords aimed right infront of the oncoming Major Payne right in and launches a devastating shock wave infused with Water & Lightning. This Sharp Shockwave infused with A Wind,Water and Lighting attempted to slice Major Payne in half while dowsing his flames and shocking him. While speeding a devistating shockwave passing through his entire body fining him up.

If Major Payne Was able to get passed his ulitmant technic Only know to Shadow Rokushiki Master's then he was prepared to deal with the consequences.

Payne watched as the attacker sent off a shock-wave and a lighting and water fused attack. Payne knew all the attacks would render ineffective in his current form, thus he continued the attack. Crashing down into the attacker causing a huge creator to be formed from the impact. The Blue flames burned straight through the attackers shoulder joint that connected his right arm to the rest of his body due to him not moving out the way. Payne's attack was slightly altered as he got closer to the ground and he grazed the hip bone of his opponent, causing a small part of it to break off. He then sliced the attackers right calf muscle and his akeelez tended.

"...Soru..."
Payne then used Soru to disappear and reappear on the outside of the creator. That man wouldn't be getting up from that attack any time soon. Hopefully at all until this battle was over.

"..You are extremely fast...a very skilled man indeed..I don't kill..so I'll let you off the hook. What is your name stranger?"

Payne would be a fool to not get the name of such a skilled foe.

Chusei had completely distracted the attention from Hibiki. Hibiki had mantained his Capoeira Party around but inactive, filling the air with sound of drums and bongos. Hibiki spoke in a soft voice a message that would only get to certain persons: Anubis, Delia Clearwater, Barius, Chusei and Gael:

"Cover your ears.. NOW." -Hibiki whispered and the message was transported to only those persons, they would only need to do it for a second. Hibiki screamed and his sound powers turned it into a high pitch that would deaf anyone in a radius of 10 meters that didnt cover his ears for 5 posts. It was a Deaf Howl attack.

Hibiki wished that all of his allies had covered their ears so that they wouldnt turn deaf for a short time and they wouldnt have to withstand the pain of an earache.

Delia cursed when she missed, quickly curling herself and maneuvering to the side in mid-air so that the full force of the marine's attack wouldn't hit her. This was getting annoying to say the least, getting hurt without even putting a scratch on Derge though she didn't let that bother her that much as she cleared her mind of any unnecessary thoughts. It also irritated her that Derge was underestimating her, and he would pay for that.

As she worked on sealing the new sounds with her ice she blinked and noticed that her sword wasn't there. That made her grin, letting out a cold laugh that would send shivers down anybody's body as she landed on the ground with a grunt then stood up. "You underestimated me too much Derge! It won't be long before you're completely encased in ice!" she called out while watching him attack Barius.

Her first mate was all right, having blocked the sword with his own while sidestepping the punch that was aimed to his head. He felt the aftershocks and that put a toll on his body but he was sturdy and strong. He'd been fighting like this for a long time and he wasn't going to be defeated this easily. Then at the same time they heard the whisper and immediately Delia covered her ears while Barius did the same as he put distance away from the vice admiral.

(Chusei)
As the Shockwave hit Payne it went through his entire body damaging his internal organ's it was more resistant from the tekkai however would still take a great deal of damage from the inside. The Ocean water dowsed his Blue flames while the lightning shocked his body. The massive force slowed Paynes powerful attack.

The Second Payne Came within range Chusei used
"TornadoSlash!" spins with all three Katana's to create an air cutter infused with Ocean water and Lightning blades. The wind from the tornado blew Payne off course. This is a Tornado that both slashes and blows away the Payne if hit.

Encase his previouse Water attack didnt douse the flames this tornado air lightning water slash would do the trick.

In Mid Attack Chusei could hear Payne ask for his name Chusei simple replied. "I am The Shadow Guild Master Chūsei Kuroshinku The Neutral blade for hire." Suddenly hearing Hikibi's voice in his head chusei plugged his ears and smiled at Payne.

(OOC i did not call the hit you clearly said you took it head on.)

-Sven Wiegaard-

Sven grinned ever so slightly as his blade collided with the prince's staff. His foot twisted slightly in the sand, causing bits of it to be knocked into the air. Shards of obsidian fell from his blade, and Sven gripped his blade even tighter. "To be clear, I am not on Anubis' side. I'm on the side of those who would purify corruption." His blade's cracked obsidian shell slowly righted and corrected itself, the coating of glass reforging itself and returning to its full, glossy finish. Sven took note of where his shards fell, and carefully avoided them as he performed the next step.

Sven's blade ricocheted off the staff, the force of his swing now working in opposition to the motion of his arm. Accustomed to fighting in this manner, Sven's arm had already grown slack, allowing his arm to be carried back with the force generated from the strike. His foot continued to spin, bringing the vigilante swinging all the way around to face Mashidi again. He ducked low as he went, bringing the sword lower and twisting it so it would actually face Mashidi. Sven then stood up, bringing the sword up in a slashing motion to try to literally "uppercut" Mashidi.

-Raulin Denys-

Raulin grinned devilishly as Satoshi effortlessly cut his weapon in half. Not that surprising, but it meant he would certainly get something out of this battle... if Satoshi didn't instantly cut him down first. Satoshi's airblade cut through a number of his swords, prompting Raulin to leap into the air to avoid getting his legs chopped off. He stood atop a thin, spindly tendril he projected from his foot, giving him a clear view of his battlefield for fighting Satoshi. He looked carefully at his opponent, and realized that improvisation may become very necessary very quickly.

He raised one arm into the air, creating additional swords that he flung back down to earth to replace the ones Satoshi had sliced apart. For now, his standard method of fighting would have to do. He leaped off his perch atop the iron spire, landing on the hilt of one of his swords. Another iron tendril reached off the back of his ankle to grab onto the blade as he leaped to the next one, approaching Satoshi uncomfortably quickly. He flipped through the air, bringing the sword in his hand (now wielded with two hands) crashing down on Satoshi, as if to slice the Lightning Beast in half.

The blade now held by the small iron tendril whipped around to wrap itself near his leg, to provide him with a backup sword. If Satoshi managed to block the blade, the resultant force would likely render Raulin's weapon useless anyway, so he needed a spare to be able to defend himself immediately afterwards.

-Gael Iura-

Oh my, oh my. This just will not do at all. Gael yawned, withering the wooden prosthetic arm he had grown so that he could cover his mouth. This was much too bothersome. He just wanted to heal Anubis' ailment, share some fruit with a pal, and then retreat for his experiments. All these people yelling and screaming and fighting was such a bother. He planned to try to finish this thing up soon, maybe take out a Marine or two if he saw fit, and then go home.

Speaking of which, Anubis and he really needed some alone time. That would be hard to get his hands on if this weirdo Marine kept dancing at him... and apparently threatening him. Or something. Gael really had no idea what he was doing, but he didn't want to know, or even find out. Gael didn't even want to bother replying to the man, and instead gestured once with his now free hand. "Anubis, give me a second..."

"Parva Silva Acus..." Gael muttered as he gestured at Gideon, and a small patch of forest grew up around the Marine. However, this was not a normal forest; instead, it consisted of specific plants, each bearing a large number of tan colored fruits. The fruits all shifted and bubbled, rippling with a number of little points radiating out of the center. The trees encircled Gideon, and with a snap of Gael's fingers, the fruits showed exactly how dangerous they could be. The large fruits ruptured, launching six-inch long needles at rates of upwards of sixty miles per hour into the thicket where Gideon was. The trees were not so thick that Gideon could not escape, but the radius of the attack was large regardless.

"Now." Another gesture. A wall of thick wooden rectangles shot up, cordoning Anubis and Gael off from the rest of the group. Each wooden partition would be able to absorb most air and sound based attacks before they could reach the two allies dwelling within their boundaries. "Okay, Anubis, all you have to do is drink this nectar." He held up the plant in his hand, able to control the state it was in with ease. "The effects won't necessarily be instantaneous, but you should feel better very quickly." He then offered the flower to Anubis, in addition to a small bottle he drew from his robe and offered to the Yonkou.

[[Tanith vs Darnel and Nakamaru]]

Tanith twirled her hammer as she stood steady "Come on then.... ill take revenge for Manus senpai... you damn MARINE!!!" She swung her hammer at Darnel and Nakamaru, aiming to send them both flying in one fatal swoop.


[[Best and the rest of the doctors on the grim death]]
Best was performing surgery as he then looked to his group "Shit..... Manus was down.... WE NEED A MEDIC OUT THERE NOW!!!! ANY ONE WANT TO VOLUNTEER?!!!"
[[Anubis]]

Anubis , was saved the need to defend the attacks from Derge and Pain thanks to Delia and Hibki. But he cursed himself as he saw Delia hurt. Anubis shyed away from this as Chusei joined in the fight as well. Anubis then heard fluttering. Birds? Here in the desert where there was no water...... Anubis took that and then remembered the archer girl was also attacking. He immediately lunged foward and held his hand up, "DOME!!!" Anubis, held himself up with sand, and surrounded himself with sand into a strong dense ball, as the attacks rebounded off his sand protection dome. The birds included , they all hit the sand protection Anubis was in. Anubis coughed as he withdrew his defence and Gael was standing there. Anubis noticed the new plants had blocked most of Ashleys attacks as well as the birds. Anubis took the flower and the small bottle. He slowly gulped down the nectar. Anubis could feel himself breathing better. He stood steady "Thank you Gael.... you were right on time as usual, did you and SAtoshi have any trouble getting here?"

[[Mashidi vs Sven]]

Mashidi twirled his staff with his hand and turned it as Sven aimed to uppercut Mashidi. He slammed the staff foward and used it as a pole to drag him upwards and technically backflip on the spot. Mashidi slid across, before realising the glass had grazed his cheek as he noticed the blood dripping "How close... if i had been a second late, you would have gauged my face out....... " Mashidi then twirled his giant staff "This staff is made from seastone.... it took alot of money to create this weapon..... i wanted to warn a devil fruit user such as yourself as to its effects....."

[[Satoshi vs Raulin]]

Satoshi growled as he hunched his back watching Raulin attack. Satoshi then twirled god of cloud in his hand and then twirled god of lightning at the same time. Satoshi then kicked the ground as he aimed his god of cloud to block Raulins frontal attack "BREATH OF THE BEAST!!!" His movement was fluid enough to deflect and hold the attack at bay with his God of Cloud sword. Satoshi then , as his legs were in mid air, flipped to the side with the god of cloud as Raulin went past him, and aimed the god of lightning at Raulins torso.

Nite wrote more in his notebook, it was now apparent why Gael had arrived.. he was here to assist Anubis and give him a special type of liquid, its contents being unknown. Nite made a mental note that the rumors of Gaels plant powers were true, he was now a threat Nite knew he could not manage face to face without giving his all.. still ultimately leading to his demise.

The birds heading from their left were normally only sharp enough to pierce through skin, but in this occasion they were only heading to a wooden wall to be broken easily. Nite then turned the birds sharp enough to cut through steel in a second, having all 15 birds penetrate the wooden wall. Almost immediately the birds circled Gael and Anubis, and within a second they exploded.

Nite took the confusion he might've caused and created a snake to drop to the ground under the palace, from which it buried itself underground attempting to sneak up on Anubis. Once the explosions were made the snake appeared under Anubis and attempted to strike him on the leg, hindering him of his movements. The birds were made to deal damage, but the snake was there as insurance that some damage was made.

Being on the side of a very tall part of the palace nite was out of reach from Hibikis attack, but he could still hear its power from his position.. making feel bad for the marines still around the area. The birds came from an angle that Nite was not in, giving him the still lingering surprise attack. The snake came from underground, with the explosion having blocked their views the snake would be a much bigger surprise then the actual explosion. Nite tried to write down details of what he was seeing inside the walls Gael had created.. he would most likely have to send these reports to the Marines himself.

"Gael and Anubis.. this is by far bad news, but I have to at least hinder them. While I'm still unnoticed, I have to strike."(Nite's thoughts)

Immediately he created a small spider on his bare hand, taking form and starting to move down the palace.. normally nobody would notice such a small animal in the middle of deadly combat, but he made sure just in case to move only when people were not looking its way. As the Spider made its way down the palace it jumped into the wall Gael had created, and tried to limb its way up.. after the explosion and attack with the snake he had to make sure his spider would try to finish it off, being a small spider meant it was hard to see.. but not impossible, but hopefully with it being in the middle of combat the odds of it being noticed would decrease dramatically.

Darnel used his muscle point to increase the muscles in his arms. He swung his nightstick at tanith's hammer to block it from Nakamaru, or at least hold her long enough "Nakamaru strike her down quickly. I don't if I can hold off her attack." Darnel braced himself to block the impact of the attack, while Nakamaru attacked the anubis commander.

''Yes sir!'' Nakamaru jumped into the air using his wind style jump. While in air he started spinning his sword. ''Wind style throw!'' Nakamaru's sword was headed right for Taniths stomach.

((Wind style Throw: Nakamaru makes wind and throws his katana in the wind so that the speed of the katan is very fast and it can kill if it hits any vital organs.))

Payne and Chuise

Payne shook off the counter attack of the boy and quickly pointed his finger at him as he counted while they were still close and fired off three bullets. One towards both his calfs and the last one near his throat. He'd have block at least two. Three if he was lucky. Payne watched as the boy began to cover his ears. Payne then used Soru to disappear from plain sight and got behind the attacker. Payne then waited for him to move out the way, thus, he fired three more bullets of fire. One in the air, in case he tried to jump, and two at his ankles. Payne then heard an intense screeching sound, causing him to lose his hearing.

"...THIS MUST BE ONE OF THAT SOUND BOYS TRICKS! I SHOULD HAVE PAYED ATTENTION..FUCK! NOW I CAN'T HEAR!? GIDEON COVER YOUR EARS!!"

Gideon vs Gael

Gideon was seriously surprised at how fast Gael was. But wasn't to surprised on account he was a Warlord. Gideon then prepared a Light Jump, to see what was going to happen next. As he jumped into the air, he took 5 needles to his back. This was bad. Gideon's mobility would be seriously slowed down. He'd have to completely rely on long range attacks now. Gideon held his hands up and caused a huge explosion by sending beams through his hands and blew a hole through the prison. Gideon, now 20 feet in the air. Began pulling the needles out his back instantly as he floated above the battle.

"...Well that was close..I almost died...These are from plants so they could be poisonous..I better stay up here and get them out.."

Near Hibiki - Captain Spencer (Marines)

Spencer then leaped from out of the sand completely unaware and spun around attempting to do a round house kick to the boys face. With his increased strength with his new Zoan powers, which turned him into a monkey, his strength was naturally doubled.

"SPINNING MONKEY KICK!!"

Felicia:"HEY KID STAY ON YOUR TOES! TRIPLE ARROW...SHOOT!!'

Feilica then came up, not far behind Spencer and pulled out her bow and arrow. She stuck to the plan and set her eyes on Hibiki. This was their main goal. To help the Marines. She held three arrows at once and fired them all towards Hibiki, with extraordinary aim.

Previously...

Spencer had fallen from the Giant Sand Castle and fell on Felicia. Felicia pushed Spencer off her and he flew about 10 feet into the air. Felicia then prepared to kicked Spencer in the face, but he blocked it! Spencer blocked with his two wrist crossed together. He then pushed him self off her do twelve perfect aerial spins until he landed on the sand. The moment he landed he took his basic fighting stance and waited for her retaliation. Felicia then instantly drew he bow and aimed at Spencer.


Felicia:"TAKE ONE STEP AND I'LL SEND AN ARROW THROUGH YOUR SKULL!!"

Spencer:"I'm really really sorry Miss! I'll pay for your torn clothing if it is torn that is!"

Just then Spencer got a call on his emergency Den Den Mushi that was located on his belt.

Soldier:"CAPTAIN SPENCER! WHERE GREATLY OUT NUMBERED HERE AT ALURBANA! PLEASE SENT ASSISTANCE! WE NEED HELP! PLEA-.."

At that the Den Den Mushi died. Spencer gripped his fist and looked down at the sand. Felicia stared at him and kept her guard up, arrow ready at the tip. Prepared to take his life. Spencer slowly began walking towards her.

Felicia"HOLD IT! YOU MOVE ANOTHER MUSCLE AN-.."

Before she could finish her sentence Spencer had made his way pass her and disarmed her entirely. Felicia, in shock, fell to her knees.

Spencer:"..You have a strong fighting spirit...you should join the Marines..or ally us..ether way..I need to get going and help my superiors..Good Bye.."

Felicia:"WAIT..I'M GOING WITH YOU!"

Felicia then followed Spencer as he ran through the dunes and made his way to the battlefield.

Back to the Present

Hibiki had smiled when he saw that his attack hadn't hit any of his allies and it had managed to turn Vice Admiral Payne deaf. (you will be deaf for your next 5 posts, unless you count the last one, then it shall be your 4 next posts). Suddenly someone popped out of the sand...

With a scream someone tried to kick him and Hibiki instinctly lifted in front of him a Dragonfly Barrier that exploded in the foot the attacking Half monkey man and blocked the path of the arrows, except for one. Hibiki tried to dodge, ducking, but he got stabbed by the arrow in the right arm and as he was ducking he concentrated a huge amount of sound in his hand and pressed it against the sand below him, unleashing the sound into the ground. Then he jumped , standing up and preparedfor any attack. The arrow was hurting... but Hibiki needed to be strong.

Hibiki smiled at the monkey-man, he moved his finger as a taunt to him, like telling him to approach, and the sound that he had unleashed into the ground popped out behind the girl from the ground and was going to pierce through the girl's spinal cord if she didnt notice it somehow, which was very improbable. Hibik using his left hand took out the arrow from his right upper part of the arm... it hurt, but Hibiki tried to ignore it, he had gone through worse.

"Solid Dance..."- Hibiki said quietly.
