Z was completely surprised and baffled. "Kitsune! But... how!?" he said, becoming human again and rising out of the ground, using his real eyes to make sure that his sight wasn't decieving him. It really was Kitsune blocking his path; the Kaze-Dao in his hand was a dead giveaway. "I saw you go through the portal to the mountains! How can you be here!?" Z asked, demanding an answer immediately.

Z then noticed something he failed to notice in his shock; Kitsune was greatly injured. Perhaps that had something to do with it? Z smiled and said "Heh... you can explain later when we're not fighting over treasure. Besides, its not as if you could stop me... just look at yourself!"

Then a spike of pain erupted in Z's chest; he immedately jerked upright and was paralyzed for a second. "What...!?" Then he remembered; that was where Lena charged at him. The after-effects from contact with light energy were kicking in, his chest shining with a dim yellow light. It wasn't nearly as bad as last time, when he collapsed to the deck of the Namor and fell through it, but it was still enough to hinder him. Z had to think fast about how he could do away with Kitsune as well as claim the Crimson Chest, although considering Kitsune saw his little twitch, that wouldn't be easy...

"Keh." Kitsune had a sinister smile on his face as he appraoched Z. Although he was bleeding, there were no traces of blood on the floor, or even the scent of blood.

He held the dao up as his body was surrounded by a light aura, the purest of light, as he fired out another Kaze no Kizu which Z dodged just barley, but still getting scarred by the light emitted.

Kitsune stood blocking Z's way to the chest. Holding the kaze dao out with the golden light emitting from it...

(ooc: Oh damn, so much happened.)

(time machine)

Perseus tensed as Z lashed out with his spiked CHAIN towards the him and Lena, Gabriel intercepting the attack with impeccable timing, allowing them to attack.

Perseus spun his knives, and then launched, diving sideways towards Z his blades pointing forwards towards his opponent.
Z, though held by Gabriel, swiftly dodged the attack, bending over backwards so that Perseus would fly straight over him.
Perseus righted himself, skidding backwards as he flipped around toward his enemy.

Running this time, Perseus Aggressively stabbed at Z, but was stunned to see the more experienced warrior blocking every attack with ease, barely exerting himself whatsoever.
Perseus, frustrated, advanced straight for a huge downward strike, only to be quickly countered and slammed into he opposing wall…

“Damnit! I really need to practice this stuff…”

Perseus’ attack and defeat lasted in all about 30 seconds.
He turned his attention back to the battle. Z, acting like it barely happened, turned around laughing and spoke to Gabriel.

"Heel dropping... is that the only physical attack you know? Perhaps I should educate you in some more painful techniques..."





*timeskip*




"Perseus..." Lena hacked. "How are you feeling?"

Perseus stood up, watching the chaos around them.

“Only a few bruises…” Perseus looked over at Lena seeing her beaten up body, “Hey what happened to you?”

He ran over to her, hoisting her up in his arms.

“What the hell did he do to you? Some fighter… beating his opponent with some cheapass weapon…”

Perseus examined the wounds.

“We really need to get you to a healer or something.”
Perseus had an idea.
“Wait a second, do you know any healing spells? Because I learnt how to channel magical energy from a monk in the mountains a long time ago. He said I was a user of light energy! If you know any Medical spells, I might be able to perform them on you.”

Lena coughed, blood spurting out from the bowls of her stomach.

Z was not pleased. "He must've been practicing with the Kaze-Dao for the short time he was in the mountains! Perhaps that was how he got here..." he thought, then noticing he was in a certain section of the cave path. It was narrow, too narrow because of a boulder that fell from the collapsing ceiling for him to dodge another Kaze-no-Kizu. Worse yet, now Z couldn't get the chest.

"Confound it! Curse you, half-breed!" Z yelled, angered. He couldn't hold off a Kaze-no-Kizu in his current condition, but he didn't want to leave the chest. And the cave was still collapsing. Z thought fast, and remembered how he dealt with Lena.

His chain exploded out of his cloak again, aiming for Kitsune who got ready to block it. Z faked him out, however; the chain suddenly reached around Kitsune and snatched the chest, throwing it over to Z. He turned into a shadow on the floor once again, chest in hand, and quickly ran for it while he still had the chance.

[Mystic Kitsune]

"Keh. No worries" Kitsune smiled as he saw Z escape with the chest.

He then turned around, and waved his blade over the ground, and there layed the real crimson chest.

He turned to the baffled expressions, "I learned the art of illusion. I guess it came in handy, eh?" Kitsune said as his make-shift blood dissapeared.

He handed the chest over to Ken, and got ready to blow the cave wall open so they could get out before it collapses.

"Get ready..." He said getting ready to unleash a blast to the sealed entrance...

[Gabe Puratekuta]

But before Kitsune could do anything, the silver dragon head-butted the blocked entrance, blowing it wide open. It then started to glow as it changed back to the teenage woman known as Gabriel.
"Whoa....too much energy used on that form...." she managed to say before she lost her balance and fell backwards

[Mystic Kitsune]

Kitsune caught Gabriel and carried her out of the cave signalling to the others to come out, which they followed. The cave behind them collapsed...

He put Gabriel down, and looked over at Ken.

"Well...we got your Crimson chest...can we please go back to the mainland now?

[Ransom]

Perseus hovered down into the middle of the group holding Lena, now unconscious.

"She's wounded severely, but she'll live. But only because she taught me how to stop the blood. But we need to get to safety."

Perseus looked around, eager to use his new found abilities.

"Anyone else hurt?"

"Poor fools..." Z said, coming out of the ground in human form and opening the chest. It was completely empty. "What...!?" The chest then disappeared in a puff of red and gold smoke.

He yelled out loud in anger and frustration. "How could I let that fool trick me!?" he thought. Then the sun began to rise. Z cursed his misfortune; he couldn't recover from his light injury now that the sun was out. He knew that the group would be boarding the ship right away, so he had to act fast.

He became a shadow again and quickly returned to the ship. He found his way to the emergency room in the ship that held some lifeboats. He took one and set sail in it before anyone noticed. He knew no one would hear him, but he spoke aloud anyway. "Mark my words... Kitsune, Gabriel, Motoko, Ken, Perseus, Lena... I will have vengance for what has transpired this day..."

Z sailed off into the sunset, headed for the mainland...

[Gabe Puratekuta]

"Thanks, Kitsune." she said, her head still spinning. "That was the first time I've actually used that technique, su I'm not used to the aftereffects just yet."

[SL the Pyro]

(With the Crimson Chest recovered, are we going to be moving to a new RP soon? Or will this one continue for a little while longer?)
