" I DON'T KNOW!" Amarick yelled loudly " I thought he was still in the worm-" she cut herself off realizing what she was feeling all along in her head was Shinto, he was inside her. She siad nothing to the old man, staying quiet as she tryed to scan her head for Shinto. 'Shinto.'she thought 'where are you, are you really there?' She gave a confused look to the man annoyed man.
Oogeki would pop up yet again just behind West blinking a few times. "What'cha doing old man East? Amarick be going to find me fire sake." West quietly turned to face the fat man on the floating plate. "Silence Oogeki, I am simply trying to find my son." Oogeki would let out a loud laugh pointing at the elder. "You dum dum. Shinto here!" East would quietly raise an eyebrow releasing Amarick from the hold he had on her. Oogeki would swoop by picking the fan up. He blew on it once flames enveloping the weapon lightly. Flames dying out would reveal that any knicks along with blemishes on the weapon was gone. He swooped in front of Amarick holding the fan out to her. As Amarick would gaze into her mind she would quietly see Shinto placent along a cliff edge. He would be staring along what appeared to be yet another village. The vision would move closer to the villagers. A few hard workers, laughing children, and a few dogs barking. A purely happy village some what familar. Shinto's voice would quietly filter out. "No father, not this one. It belongs to the Western territory." A cynical laughter followed by those same shadows would creep along Shinto's form. A painful yell and Shinto's eyes would glow a deep purple obviously possesed. His voice would come out again this time being his father's. "Heh, fool I will do it then. I will not have a coward for a son. Let this sin rest on your head." At that the vision would go to a burning village again Shinto quietly snapping out of the possesion. He would drop both blades to the ground falling to his knees. "No..no...Nooo!!!"
Amarick stopped herself as she was getting her fan. She watched the inter thing in horror as she became angry. She turned her head reapidly towards the east elder. "you were the one who killed my family and caused sucha horrible life for everyone!! You hurt your son! You made me this way!!" She gripped her fan and caused dirt and rocks to fly towards the elder "Are you appart of the military too!! Did you tell them to make me this way!!" She threw wind at the man agian. "HOW DARE YOU KILL PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE NOTHING TO YOU!! HOW DARE YOU KILL MY FAMILY!" Memories began to cover her mind as her eyes teared up. " You ruined everything I loved and I will never forgive you!" Amarick yelled.
Oogeki disappeared in a puff of a fire ball from the fight breaking through. The elder watched the wind come at him merely seeming to transform into a black dragon. Spiraling foreward he slipped through the wind channels ramming into her stomach. "Yes, quite the smart girl. How did you know all this? I never recall saying such thing. My foolish son would not remember doing such things. I even said he would die soon yet he didn't flinch or show any sign of fear of me. Why is that?" It was almost bizarre as the black snake dragon almost like the worm save smaller continued talking. "You ruined my son, he didn't attack that village because he saw you. So I simply took advantage of his weakness taking his feeble body over. He is rather traumatized mind you. Not a very good childhood seeing one's mother killed before their very eyes. I did it to toughen him up so he wouldn't attach himself to any thing. A true warrior, killing machine, heartless and merciless. But no! You had to go and ruin that!" He snorted a few amounts of steam exiting. "Stupid woman."
Amarick flew back into a tree from the blow to her stomech. She limply got up, gripping it in pian "I'm glad he didn't end up like you. He wouldn't have a life if he did. The pian he suffered will be your death on day!" She toke a step foward and fell to her knees, blood seeping from the mask over her mouth as she coughed up blood. " I don't care what you are or what you become.... I'm stronger then you in every way!" Amarick jumped up and swung her fan at the ground, causing a layer of earth to come up like a wave and land strieght on the dragon. Amarick then pulled her daggers out and threw them at the wave of dirt, towards the elder. "DIE!!" she yelled
The elder simply swept his tail at the uncoming attack sending the large amount of dirt along with daggers straight back at the two. Rearing his head back he let lose a large amount of shadow energy streaming quite readily towards Amarick. The attack would most likely consume her in one motion save at the last second. A brief transparent image of Shinto could quietly be seen blocking the attack with two transparent katanas. The eyes on his face mask gleamed quietly before sending the attack right back where it came from. The elder took the hit finding himself sent sprawling along the ground slowly transforming back into the old man. The image of Shinto quietly sheathed both katanas with some difficulty pulling away from Amarick's form. A stream of energy connected the two would shatter as Shinto's form became whole. His form wasn't transparent either.
"SHINTO!" Amarick yelled, wanting to give him a huge but didn't because of her arm.Amarick had been hit by one of the two daggers she had thrown at the old man, unable to dogde them with the dirt flying in her eyes. She grasp her arm as she stood and walked next to Shinto, feelling comfortable in the shade of his over casting shadow. " It toke you long enough.." She mowned. " I have a few questions when this is all over Shinto... I need them answered." She huntched over and began coughing up blood agian from the attack earlier. Whipping her mouth, Amarick looked up at the now fallen old man. " I don't know if Shinto cares or not but I would rather have you died. You cause to much pain to the world and your son."
The old man let out a coughing laugh as he stared at his son. "Knew you were too pathetic to die! Hahaha, kill me now son!" Shinto would quietly downcast his gaze from the defeated man on the ground fists slowly curling. His voice only came out as an audible whisper. "Are you alright Amarick..?" He had completely ignored his father merely turning to face Amarick quietly back turned. Everything looked the same even before he had left. That same scar along his eye along with every green eye along his head guard. Quietly wiping the blood from her lip he turned back at his father. "No, you aren't worth even getting scraped. Besides, if you died then I would have to take your place. You could always drop that kind of responsibility on one of my many half-brothers. Never was the honest husband were you?" At that a slight shink would sound as the four-clawed weapon buried itself inches from the elder's face. He would quietly turn placing a light hand on Amarick's shoulder. "We need to find Oogeki. I owe him something. Also, you're hurt.."
Red was in room full of computers, men in white coats and a big cylinder glass case containing the worm. He watched the worm as it was bashing its head on the glass trying to get out."What have you learned about this thing Dr.G?" Red asked the doctor. The Dr. was checking the computer to see if they found some interesting features about the creature."Well Mr. Red it seems this thing is much a mistery to me as it is to you but the thing you said about a human being this creature is quite wrong." He said to red. Red seemd very curious and asked the doctor why." There is not trace of any carbon based life form in the beast it is just what it is... a beast."the doctor said sounding intriged. Red went closer to the worm and looked at it closely." Mr. Red, should we dispose the beast." he asked red curiously." No, I have other plans for this creature that will help us in capturing that ninja girl." he said as he walks out to get some coffe.
Hanzo, in human form, leaped over to Amarick and gripped her arm tightly. He knew she would jerk back and slap him, but he also knew she would be surprised that her arm was well again. "Be careful now, don't want you kids getting hurt." He said, looking into her eyes. She could see faint crackles of lighting in his eyes. The mark of a dragon generals element. Without much effort, her arm healed instantly. He brought a soot stained finger to her lips to silence her. "Go get 'em." He whispered, leaning over to kiss her cheek. As his lips touched her cheek, she could feel a small tingling sensation from the magic he was letting loose. He pulled away. "You kids should be getting back to your little game..." He said, turning into his dragon form. He lugged over to a tree and laid down, keeping his eyes on Amarick.
Amarick nodid her head in agriment with Shinto and began walking turning away and ignoring the old man. Shinto was right, he wasn't worth killing. She walked by Shinto and felt Hanzo's hand and then his lips. Angered, Amarick slapped him before he could get away to the tree tops, but was greatful that he had healed her. As she walked with Shinto to her old village, she said "What are we going to do about that beast. We can't just let it stay alive, it will aviantually get loose and hurt someone." She continued to walk as she watched Shinto from the corner of her eye. " Is all of that stuff true, you know..... the stuff you showed me.."
Shinto remained dead silent as Amarick spoke. He could almost see that tormented creature in his line of vision. Each pore on the beast writhed with pain. He knew this because he was once that creature. Now the animal didn't have the slightest inch of control. Let it out and it would most likely destroy everything in it's sight. The elder had vanished from sight seeming no where now. A brief spark followed by a happy yell would find Shinto barrelled over by Oogeki again. The fire elder had ditched the plate merely satisfied with sitting on Shinto. He had changed size as well now fully ripped from head to toes. He had let loose any excess fire built up in his system. The true form of the fire elder was now apparent spikey red hair streaming along his head with slight gray marks along with a bright red vest and something along the lines of hakami pants. He would give Shinto a punch in the face merely laughing as he still sat on him. "I knew you would be back Shinto! You made Old Man East mad!" Shinto shook his head from the blow as he basically caught the elder off guard sending him sprawling. Oogeki merely laughed again rising from the ground. The plate would appear just under his feet making him rise up. He would note Amarick giving her a bow. "Nice to meet'cha again Amarick. You learned a few things when I left. Get my fire sake yet?" At that he would have a rock connect with the side of his head knocking him off the plate again. Shinto stood beside Amarick tossing another stone up and down. Yet again Oogeki hopped back up dusting his bright red vest off. A certain calm warm aura imanated from him as he piped up. "Shinto that was cheap! What's the score now? 12321 to 31242? Shinto only half laughed at the comment trying to dodge Amarick's question.
"You 2 know each other well..." Amarick asked, annoyed " If you don't mind I would like some stuff answered, and somethings finish." She waited for one of them to reply, not caring which one. She stared at Oogeki, he had changed allot as she replyed "No, I don't have it yet. I'll come to it some time though." Crossing her arms, she continued to wait for someone to answer her question.
Shinto's some what better mood would quickly return to a more serious behavoir. "...Yes, all of them were true." Oogeki blinked some taking a seat on his plate. He let out a yawn while Shinto was talking being quite the interruption. "Stupid East, North and South haven't said any thing for a while. Must still be looking for replacements. Glad I got me a decent one that won't die on me." He scratched his red locks letting out a tiny flame at a flying insect. It would catch on fire quickly dropping. Shinto continued after that little number was said. "The worm, we do need to kill it. It would be the only honorable thing to do. It's every minute is filled with miles of pain. It should still be growing as well.." Oogeki fanned his nose as he listened. "This all stinks bad. I come with you too. I want my fire sake first!" He crossed his arms lightly over his chest waiting.
She pondered for a second and then brought up her left hand and snapped her finger. " Our transportation will be here soon." Amarick siad, now relaxed. " I don't know what I got, just had the closes thing on 4 wheels come." Waiting for a few seconds with her hands crossed, the sound of a faint motor could be heard. Over a hill top came a run down truck with pilled paint on its sides. " Not the greatest of vehicles but it'll do until we find something alts" Amarick laughed as she propt into the drivers seat as it rode up. She waited for the others to hop on so they could be on their way. Remembering what Shinto said about what she saw bieng the truth, her expression quickly changed.
