"So… et would seem that we have some unwelcome guests in our mits, eh?"
"It looks like it, aunt Rosalina. I say we go ahead and not allow these muthafuckas to waltz in here like this, ya heard?"
Rosalina: "Indeed Reezy, call in the Guardians as well as your father, The King."
Kareezim: "Already sent the signal out. Let's go welcome our guests though." *FLASH*
Rosalina: "Let's go dhen." *FLASH*
They both exit the Guardians HeadQuarters and head for the location of their intruders. The other Guardians, as well as the King were able to hear the signal and acted accordingly. Each getting themselves ready for battle against their uninvited guests. Those same guests could be seen casually strolling beyond the shopping sector. They were following the trail of essence left behind by Kitiro who was now heading home to his wife and child. Having learned the truth about his Birthright, he needed time to dwell on it. Let it all sink in that he'll be a sacrifice if he allows himself to be caught by their enemies. Those same enemies are now hot on his trail.
Miitto: "His essence is quite potent. Easy to follow after it with or without our Mental Zenchi."
Joi: "Quite the convenience indeed, though…"
Jujoku: "Hm?"
Miitto: "Something on your mind?"
Joi: "Yeah… I'm under the impression that we still stick out like a sore thumb."
Xientao: "I'm under the same impression, mistress."
Miitto: "What makes you say that?"
Joi: "Well, first of all… the citizens suddenly started to vanish and clear the area just as we exited. Second… we've had eyes on us ever since we entered even though we entered through a hole."
Miitto: "Mhm… now that you mention it, that seems to be the case here."
He scans the area and the cosmos around them for a distance equal to a galaxy all around. There could be no one seen the entire way.
Ragno: "It's a ghostly cosmos we're in right now. I can't sense anyone for more than a multiverse outward. Does this mean…"
Jujoku: "Of course it does… after all. My sister and nephew are closing in on us."
Joi: "Sister? Is it one of the 6 Gaias?"
Jujoku: "Yeah, she's the Gaia of Earth, the Terra Element."
Joi: "Oh? Heh!" *SMILE*
She smiled from ear to ear when she heard that piece of information. Her essence shot up like a bolt of lightning. Her clothes were torn to ribbons and her four sets of angelic wings donned themselves. Her lightened, royal blue hair flowed outward and stood up when surrounded by her essence. Her torso was exposed to everyone around her besides her breasts which were covered by wrappings. Her royal blue pants had now become a baggy version to the bottom of a martial artists' Gí. Her white and gold heels complemented the golden, thin deity rings that sat around her shoulders. Her three neck rings and dual hoop earrings she wore in her ears did as well. Her face was now covered by her famed white, blank mask.
Rosalina: "Seems they finally caught wind of us- Move Reezy!"
She shoved Kareezim out of the way before blocking a strike from Joi.
Rosalina: "Ah, you're one of the Termriel Sisters."
Joi: "Indeed- (Mhm.)"
Kareezim: "You're quite the beastly one, aren't you?" *SWISH*
He threw a flying roundhouse with his right leg as he flew in from her six.
Joi: "Ah, you must mean my toned physique. Like it?"
She jokingly says as she ducks below his strike. Rosalina leans back and brings Joi along for the ride. All three go into a frenzy of clashes that lead to them crashing into the floor. Joi comes flying out of the dust and into a series of backflips. She landed in front of Miitto and the others, looking up as two cuts show up on her left cheek. The dust is cleared out by a sudden gust of wind created by Rosalina and Kareezim's combined essence. Joi looked onward to see that they had no visible injuries or cuts to see.
Joi: "Hmph, seems I missed all my attacks. Impressive show, you two."
Rosalina: "Indeed, but I must ask. What are you people doing here? Hm?"
Miitto: "Rosalina Senkozen, Earth Gaia. We are here for a mission given to me and these two by our leader."
Kareezim: Even so… you still think it's a good idea to come here like this? Especially you, Uncle Jujoku!"
Jujoku: "Mhm…"
Miitto: "Doesn't matter, our mission will be a success!" *PEW*
Kareezim: "Hmph!" *FWIP*
Miitto clashes fists with Kareezim as he tries to flank his six. Their clash created a pillar of dust that went more than two-hundred meters into the air. Ragno cleared it within the blink of an eye as he flanked Kareezims rear. And it was just as Kareezim pivoted to face Miitto head on. He released a Quake Fist to try and throttle Kareezim. But he remained calm and leapt above Miitto and Ragno with his hands in the pockets of his puffer jacket. Ragno was the first to leap up.
Kareezim: (He looks like a beast, but has the essence of a Purtoga-Dheiin. How peculiar.) *FWIP*
Kareezim flipped to dodge a growing Quake wave that Ragno sent forward. He flew in with a flying dragon kick that was blocked by Ragno's 'X' guard.
"Elemental Seal." Kareezim muttered as he digs his foot into Ragno's arm.
Ragno: "What the hell!?"
Miitto: "Ah, Kareezim The Tracer."
Kareezim burst into a frenzy of flips before kicking Ragno back to the floor. Then, using Ragno as a springboard, he leaps into another series of flips as he heads towards Miitto. Miitto fires off a high kick to block the downwards kick that Kareezim let forth. Their attacks clashed and the resulting shockwave shot out like a beam and hit Ragno. Forcing him into the floor before he could ever think to rebound.
Kareezim: "If this is all you've got… You'll never be able to match cousin Morzick or Zenki. Miitto Mighty!"
Miitto: "Tah, you cheeky bahstard!"
Kareezim and Miitto went into a frenzy of clashing kicks. Crashing into the ground as Kareezim gets the drop on Miitto and forces him on the defensive. Miitto sat stuck in place with his feet planted deep into the ground. He had blocked a stomping right foot from Kareezim who still had his hand in the pockets of his puffer. Miitto gritted his teeth and flung him off, forcing Kareezim to flip into the air and go into a slide as he gained some distance. He smiles at Miitto and Miitto smiles back. He removed his hands from his coat pockets and got into a basic boxing stance. Just then…
*PEW*
Xientao: "You're wide open, Kareezim!"
Kareezim: "Hmph…"
Jujoku: "Xientao, stand down!"
Xientao: "Hm!? (Lord Jujoku?)" *GRIP*
*SMASH*
A large figure grabbed Xientao by the face and slammed him into the floor. Dragging him through the ground for a few meters. The large God held him down as the dust cleared and a man with a green headband and afro was shown. His face was covered by an angry, jade-green oni mask. His body was draped in a forest green, sleeveless robe. He had on big burling tiger head gauntlets. With matching greaves that went up to the knee with baggy combat pants tucked into them.

Xientao: "Tsssk… damn behemoooth!"
Kareezim: "Heh, good going there Kafitti."
Kafitti: "My pleasah, Kareezim."
Miitto: "Niikolm, Ragno… let's go!!"
Ragno and Niikolm: "Yes SIR!!"
Miitto's second and third commanders leap into action. Both were wearing their black, TRUTH trench coats that had the Untold insignia on the right of the chest. Niikolm was a powerful Evolution God born in the same generation as Gna and the others. He had short, black slick back hair with three hanging bangs. He wore square glasses with a surgeon's mask covering his face. He liked to use a rapier as his main weapon.
Niikolm: "You don't stand a chance, Kareezim!"
Power Scale Level: 66
Birthright: Swap
Element: Fire
Study: Speed-Demon's Kicks
Age: 249,973
A sudden kick came flying at Niikolm. He managed to swap places just in time and found himself sliding after crashing into the floor. He looked up to see Zaya standing before him. She wore a green, skin tight, sleeveless top that turns into a fauld as you get towards the bottom. It danced in the flow of her essence over her green, leather leggings that were connected to her golden trimmed stilettos. Her golden gauntlets were thin and skin tight, flowing up to her biceps and blending to the skin. She leapt forward with her armored butterfly mask that covered everything from the ridge of her nose and below.
Niikolm: "Yet another Guardian, eh?" *FWIP*
He blocked the attack head on with his rapier. Frowning at Zaya as she slowly pushes him back. Kareezim outsped Miitto and flanked Niikolm's rear. He threw a heavy kick that Niikolm ducked under. Ragno prepared a powerful Quake Fist that Niikolm took full advantage of while in his current predicament.
Zaya: (A swap, eh?)
Power Scale Level: 72.5
Birthright: Ammunition
Element: Black Water
Study: Gun-slinging Master

Age: 1,410,999
Niikolm swapped with Ragno who had already started the motion of smashing his fist into the floor. Kareezim flashed himself above Ragno using his lightning. Zaya muffled it completely using her water and increased the pressure and density. Ragno increased his output and burst his own technique while also neutralizing Zaya's in the process. He stepped forward with his fist at the ready only to have Zaya be swapped with Kareezim.
Ragno: "You traced that too?"
Miitto: (He can trace without touching you!?)
Miitto builds up his essence within his arms as he prepares to enter the fray.
Kareezim stood there with Ragno's fist in his grasp. Ragno was then swapped out for Niikolm who had his weapon at the ready. Kareezim smiled as Niikolm thrusted his rapier forward. An explosion occurred and Zaya, Ragno, Kareezim, and Niikolm flashed all over the verse with their speeding movements and constant use of the swapping technique. They clash and rip through the cosmos with their attacks flying all about. Three seconds go by and more than ten-thousand swaps occur.
Kareezim: (I've spent these last few nut ass seconds allowing this busta to slip into this place unbothered. I got 'em though.) "Quake Step."
He stepped forward while he and Niikolm sit in some sort of Limbo verse. The wave traveled to where Niikolm would step next. While it was doing so, Kareezim built his lightning essence around his body and prepared a sort of… 'burst'.
Niikolm stepped and found himself thrown off his rhythm, losing balance as the wave swept past him in full effect. He watches as Kareezim comes flying his way with his body full of lightning.
"He's able to access this place with a mere traced version!?" Niikolm thought to himself as he stood there helplessly.
Kareezim flashed forward with enough speed to make it seem like teleportation. He cocked his left leg back and landed a nasty high kick that sent Niikolm's head rolling. Blood spewed from his mouth as he looked up into the cosmos. Kareezim gave him no breathing as he broke the swapping chain, relieving Zaya and Ragno of their hold from it. He spun around and landed a beautiful roundhouse kick with his left leg. Niikolm went crashing across the floor, just as this occurred, Zaya and Ragno came rushing in from the rear.
"Stop using your abilities in front of this man!" *SWISH*
Miitto shouts as his fist met with Kareezim's fist head on, attempting to seal his power. Kareezim was quick to counter using his own Anti-Seal theorem. He and Miitto followed up with their own individual roundhouse kicks and cross legs. Niikolm rushed back and attempted to flank Kareezim.
Zaya: "Oh no you don't!!" *PEW*
She dashes ahead of Ragno and smashes her foot into the guard of Niikolm.
Zaya blew Niikolm back a few feet, turning around as she landed so she could block Ragno. He swings with a wide haymaker from his left and she blocks with an elbow from her left while still having her back turned to Ragno. They were right next to Miitto and Kareezim, and Zaya used that to her advantage. She leaps above Ragno with a backflip and stomps her feet on Miitto and Ragno's arms. Kareezim steps back and turns to face an oncoming Niikolm. He uses a high kick to block his fist and knock Niikolm back. Zaya flips off Ragno and Miitto's arms, and just as she does. Kareezim comes flying back to smash into Ragno while Zaya jams her elbow into Miitto's back in a burst forward.
Miitto: "GAAAH!! Tssk, no you don't!"
He stops himself before she could smash him into Niikolm.
Zaya grunted as she flipped over Miitto. She landed in between them and immediately burst into an exchange where she blocked and dodged all their strikes from both sides. She uses her forearms to block both of their fists. She bent down and swiped her foot in a crescent formation, tripping both of them. She twirled back around and inserted her palms into both of their stomachs before blowing them away.
"Heh!" She smiled in the face of her success.
Ragno and Kareezim flash in front of her with their fists clashing. She takes notice of them and smashes her right hand into his face. Ragno was knocked off his rocker and Kareezim was going in for the finish. But just as he did, Niikolm came dashing in from his six. He jabbed at Kareezim who blocked the attack with ease.
Niikolm: "Tsk, guy's perception abilities and reactions are nothing to scoff at."
He stares at Kareezim as he zipped by, throwing his right fist at Zaya who leaned back and out of the way. She placed her hand in front of him with her fingers forming the shape of a gun. Her index finger held a heavy ball of Black Water in front of it. She shot Niikolm before he could react and sent him flying like a speeding fifty millimeter bullet. Kareezim smiled at her as he watched Miitto approaching from her rear. He nudged his head to the right, making her lean to the left. Kareezim then fired his foot outward and used it to force Miitto and his elementally boosted fist back a bit.
Kareezim: "Hmph, nut ass might."
Ragno: "You're open… finally." *SWISH*
Kareezim: "Hm-
*POW*
Kareezim was kicked in his solar plexus and sent flying back. Zaya stood at the ready as she set her fists up. Dashing forward, but was stopped by a hard hit to the back of her head. It was a hammer fist from Miitto. She was thrown off balance and met with a nasty uppercut as a result. Just as Miitto and Ragno tried to close in to capitalize on their success. Zaya sent four heavy water bullets into their ribs and threw them off their game.
Ragno: "What the!?"
Miitto: "But how!?"
Zaya: "Anytime I use one bullet, my Birthright changes it into ten extra, and that doubles for each bullet used in succession. It never takes long for an enemy to be surrounded and constantly bombarded by thousands of bullets."
Miitto: "A simple yet monstrous ability!"
Zaya stood in place, watching as Miitto and Ragno came in for more. Then you even had Niikolm jumping into the mix. With all three surrounding her, she simply stood there. Listening to the rushing steps and cackling of lightning behind her.
*FLASH*
Zaya looked up to see all three of her opponents had been hit in a single instance as Kareezim now floated beside her with a cocky look on his face. He landed and reset his stance just before he and Zaya dashed at Niikolm and Ragno. All four go into a frenzy of clashes as Miitto rises back to his feet.
Miitto: "He put extra force into the kick he landed on me. Must've needed me out of the way. Eh… no matter."
Kareezim and Zaya exited their frenzy against Niikolm and Ragno with a good kick to send them both flying. Miitto attempts to flank their six, but… they were prepared for that and dashed in at the exact same time. He couldn't match their combined strength and met their dual uppercut combo at full force. He managed to block, but was still sent flying like a rocket in the direction from which he came. Both Kareezim and Zaya had smiles on their faces, that much we could tell even with her mask on.
Joi's third and fourth commanders, Taylin and Shinaadhei(She•Knaw•Day). A God from Archadia-Ddai and a Royal Goddess from Purtoga-Dhei. They both wore matching battle outfits to that of Joi's own. Taylin wore black, Japanese style gauntlets while Shinaadhei wore armor threaded kunoichi sleeves. They had identical masks to Joi's own, only theirs had sharp eye holes cut out of them. Taylin's hair was white and spiked upward while Shinaadhei's was black, straight, and hung down her back.

???: "Tch! Let's get this over with then." *PEW*
They dash towards Kareezim and Zaya alongside Jujoku's third commander, Weijia(Way•yah). She wore a basic, black shaolin robe with a bead chain wrapped around her left shoulder. Going all the way down to the right side of her waist. She wore fishnet stockings that went up to her thighs with small compression shorts on. Her ruby red stiletto heels dug into the very space itself as she rushed forward. She had on a black mask that covered the ridge of her nose and below. Her red eyes were sharp and uninterested in what lay before her. Her hair was tied into a neat, traditional Asian bun with a royal charm to hold. Whilst also having two chopsticks stuck through her jet-black bun. Her simian tail danced as she elegantly flowed forward.
All three make their way to Kareezim and Zaya as they reset themselves. Leaping into the upper cosmos as they come down with fists full of Zenchi. Just as they closed in, Taylin and Shinaadhei were grabbed by their throats and smashed into the massive platform created by everyone's combined essence. The acting 'floor' I should say. Weijia had her fist matched by the fist of a woman dressed in an all white suit. Her dreads danced as she stepped forward and grabbed a hold of Weijia by the waist. Forcing both to smash into the platform full throttle.
The five combatants went into a frenzy of clashes with the Goddess and God dressed in their matching white suits. Everyone went into an all out, head to head bout. Only Jujoku sat on the sidelines, watching as everything went down. Walking forward as he blankly stared into the starlit cosmos. Allowing his essence to skyrocket as he does. Shaking the very boundaries of the clan itself. Alarming all around them who were aware of the silent alarm. Scared and suffocating from his odd bloodlust.
Rosalina: "Damn Jujoku. Big brother Hakeem trained him from a young age."
Joi: "Tch, why is he making a move like this?"
Jujoku: "Let's put an end to this and get the hell out of here- *Pat*
???: "Nah, why don't we stay for a little while, little brother."
Jujoku: "Big brother Amadeus, it's been quite some time."
Amadeus: "Indeed it has… now, I'm going to need you to drop that essence of yours!" *POW*
His essence shot up like a shooting star flying through the cosmos. His eyes were red and flaring through his huge, futuristic glasses. His Hair turned into golden flames as it flared up from the essence build up. His blackened armor had flaring lights within his chest plates with a golden gem placed within the middle. He had a cloth-like obi wrapped around his waist along with a God's sash. His armor had pauldrons attached to his collar with tubes sticking out of it. The flaps from his fauld flows upwards with a shimmering light shining out of his flaming gauntlets and matching greaves. His black, baggy combat pants danced about while his milk brown skin darkened.
Amadeus: "It's best you and your people leave here, little brother." *Squeeze*
Power Scale Level: 105

Jujoku: "Surely, we've got what we came for anyway. Just needed confirmation-
*kaBLOOOM*
Amadeus & Jujoku: "Hmh!?"
They both turn their heads to see Joi and Rosalina ascending into the upper cosmos. Zipping and tearing through the space itself while crashing and smashing into one another. Ripping the very fabric of space that shapes this vast Clusterverse. Rosalina took heed of this and went into an evasive maneuver. Dodging and blocking all of Joi's powerful strikes as she closes in. Joi uses her Dust element to try and turn Rosalina into a dried up, brittle prune. Rosalina dodged with only a few strands of her hair getting dusted away. She pumped her fist full of borrowed essence that she- oh… from whom you ask?
Joi: "Damn, missed ya! Hm… (I can feel my essence all of a sudde- *SMACK*
Rosalina used Joi's own essence to throttle Joi into the platform. Shattering multiple layers of their creation and cracking her mask in the process. She was a bit dumbfounded by this sudden development to say the least. The sudden crash caused everyone to cease their actions, watching as her essence skyrockets once more.
Joi: "You're pretty damn good, Rosalinaaa. Pretty damn good indeed, heheee. I'm excited to say the least." *Prfssssssss-SHING*
She created a staff using her Dust abilities as the outer shell while an odd white light sat within.
Rosalina: "Hmph… I'll have you know Amadeus and I can borrow a lot more than stats!" *Prfssssss-Shi-SHINNG… CLICK*
She created a dual Saber using Joi's Dust ability and her own magma-like Terra attribute at the center of the blades. While pure, multi-layered earth sat as the handle.
Joi: "Tch, you're all a bunch of Copy-cats, huh?"
Rosalina: "Nah… besides stats and techniques, ours are temporary. Whereas Kareezim can truly copy your whole flow down to the drop of essence that started its creation. A true Tracer."
Joi: "Hmph… no matter." *FLASH*
Rosalina: "Hmph!" *FLASH*
Amadeus: "We'll allow them to have this, but then you must leave! If not… I'll wipe out your forces here and now, baby brother."
Jujoku: "Tch… fine. I don't feel like fighting you as of now, Amadeus. Plus… our mission is complete for the time being."
Amadeus: "Mhm… good."
Taylin: "I guess we're calming it down for the time being. Lucky y'all, huh?"
Eaolie: "Tuh, it was two on three and you still could not push us back. Even with that powerful wooman on your side."
Abdakhan: "How pitiful."
Shinaadhei: "Yeah, aight."
Miitto: "Hurry this up Joi."
Rosalina: "You're pretty good with a staff, but… My earthen abilities make things a bit more difficult than one would initially think."
Joi: "Indeed they do, and with that Birthright of yours evening out our stats. It leaves me with no other choice but to let my foot off the brakes a bit." *PEW*
Rosalina brought about a sea of sand and dust, bombarding Joi as she flowed forward towards Rosalina. She turned herself into dust and fused with the galactic tsunami. Racing towards Rosalina, the source of the attack itself. She shifted out of the wave just as she got within striking distance of Rosalina. Rosalina was a bit surprised by this development, but kept her calm and turned the entire tsunami into a galactic stone mountain. Joi leapt out just in the knick of time. She dodges a thrust from the blade of Rosalina's dual-bladed sword. Going into a full on spinning burst as she floated to Rosalina's left.
Rosalina: "Quite the skilled combatant for a youngin."
She tossed her sword into a series of flips as it transferred to her right hand. She brings her left back in to block Joi's powerful roundhouse kick with the momentum of her rapid spin backing it up. The collision shook their clan to its core.
Amadeus: "Tch…"
Amadeus & Jujoku: "Hurry this shit up."
Rosalina twirled her dual-bladed sword above her head and slashed downward atop Joi. Joi ascends and uses her staff to block the attack. Tilting her spear to the right to force Rosalina's sword to fly downwards and to Rosalina's left. Joi flipped over her and successfully flanked her six. Pulling her staff back before swinging at Rosalina's head with a ball of dust at the tip of the staff. Rosalina smiled and shifted her sword to her left hand. Completing a full three sixty spin to the right before Joi's staff could travel its full path. Their weapons clash once more and Rosalina manages to fend off her odd strike. Joi follows up with a downwards swing after two full rotations. Rosalina stood up straight with her right hand's index and middle finger pointing at Joi's waist. Then from underneath the armpit of her left arm, she forced a thick spike made of Earth to come piercing out of Joi's waist, stopping her completely.
Joi: "Gah… w-what the!?"
Rosalina: "It was clever to turn into dust earlier. But you mixed my dust and sand within yourself as you did. I made sure you couldn't dodge every grain! Heh… Spike parade."
Joi: "N-NRGH!?" *STAB* *STAB* *STAB*
Five other large spikes come piercing out of her body as she falls to the platform. Dust flowed up and formed a cloud that masked her physical presence and appearance from everyone around her. It took a few quick seconds for it to clear, and when it did… Joi could be seen kneeling. All of the spikes had become dust and withered away into the void of space.
Rosalina: "In this battle… you'd do well to watch yourself, Joi Termriel."
Joi: "Hmph."
Rosalina: "I may be a Gaia intertwined with Life, but I'm as merciless as they come." *Smirk*
Miitto and his group successfully make it into the grounds of Gaia-Minettia. In the quake of their success, the Guardians quickly step in to interfere. Joi and Rosalina go at it as the clan quakes in their wake!
