Kenji and Asahi smirked at the mention of Pierson's name, whiles Leo clenched his fist."H-He did it", he muttered as he stared down an injured Pierson, squirming Sligh as they held him up. "Everything....is going well, as it should..."
Kazumi continued,"Get the injured over to The Carebay....Vincent will lead you. That is all." Vincent sighed and pulled out his pipe before motion them to follow. Everyone hurried behind his as they went west of the base. They soon came to a spacious, weathered cabin with a peculiar figure greeting them at the door. "No, no no....Not this again-!", he hollered irritably at the approach of Vincent and the wounded. He bellowed loudly with an unsteady gait, ruffling his short, dark hair with his fingers. "It's your job, isn't it, Abbas?", Vincent said before puffing on his pipe. "I didn't ask for all of this-!" "Tell it to someone who cares, In here every one-!" The group rushed inside whiles Vincent and Abbas stood by. He seemed to be scolding Vincent, but Vincent didn't acknowledge him.
Kenji and Asahi settled him in a bed as they waited upon Abbas, who walked in latter and scowled. "What a work load..." He noticed Pierson and sighed, rushing to find a large trough and placing it by his side. He cracked his fingers and pulled out a stool, sitting beside him. Leo looked at him, waiting to see his next course of action. He breathed deeply, reaching his hands over Pierson's body, and called out...
□□□□□■■"CLOUT"■■□□□□□
Pierson winced suddenly, quivering. Kenji's body jolted up,"What are you-" "Stay calm and let me concentrate!" Asahi pulled him down back to his side,"He's not hurting him, Be calm..." Kenji folded over his arms and stood silently. After about a minute, Abbas lifted up his hands from Pierson's body, and as he did, Black blobs of liquid moved up from his body with him. He carefully moved the black blobs with his hands, guiding them into the trough. Sighing, he wiped his brow of sweat. "I'll come check up on him later", He said as he rushed to another. "What...was that?" Kenji questioned. "Look at Pierson....his injuries,....they're severity is reduced.",Asahi concluded as he examined his body. "You're right...". Leo turned to Abbas, watching as he used his god ability on others. "I'll be here with Pierson...You guys can leave...",Kenji assured. "Look after him....I'll come back later.",Asahi grinned before taking his leave. Leo however, approached Abbas as he was treating another. "Can...you elaborate- I want to know how your god ability works." "Can't you see I'm busy here? I can't concentrate, stop bothering me!" He snapped at him, his muscles tensed. "If you'd like to stay till I'm done treating everyone, then maybe I'll inform you ab-" Leo beamed as he said this and hurried back to Pierson's side. "Weirdo....." Kenji sat silently, his mind drifting off until he heard someone stagger slowly to him. "Is-....is he alright?", A trembling voice resonated. "Who are you?" "I'm Jethro....Jethro Beeroth." "You're apart of the three finalist for the Showdown" Jethro giggled before replying,"Yeah...Pierson and I stuck close in the Dreamscape world. I personally grew to like him, He's strong...." Both Kenji and Leo and Kenji smiled at this. "I know...."
Asahi knocked onto Kazumi's cabin door. "You ready?" "Almost, Noriosuke....." Kazumi opened the door as he slicked back his hair and tied them behind his head. "Let's get going...." Kazumi and Asahi went behind the cabin, standing in the center of the large clearing at which Kazumi trained. "Let's begin with 18, Noriosuke. It'll form the basis for most of your attacks." "Why is that?" "It essentially isn't a sword attack at all, its a method of dashing in short burst without consuming large amounts of energy." Kazumi drew closer."Observe..." Kazumi placed his bare feet on the ground, the blades of grass dancing around it. He lifted his feet off the ground slightly, his heels the only part touching the ground. He slowly twisted his heel down into the ground. He exhaled, his breath was nigh visible. "Death Stance 18; Thanatos" The muscles in his legs tensed up, and he lunged forward, sprinting explosively and covering a distance of about 6 meters. "Woah- That was incredible!" "When you sprint initially, it will take up some energy, but then, using your heels to tap the ground, instead of your toes, will help recycle that energy to move even further, like this-" He performed the technique again, this time, covering over 17 meters. "Are you ready?" "Let's do it!"

Abbas approached Leo after he had finished treating the other wounded. "You really stayed?" "Ofcourse! I'm really curious about what you ability is-" Abbas sighed and scratched the small stubble underneath his chin. "It's called 'Clout' and all it does is extract damage." "From anything?" " No, only living beings.The damage I extract comes in the form of the black liquid you saw earlier" "You just keep it troughs?" "That's right....The damage is transferable, if another being touches it, it gets absorbed into them and they experience the damage." "That's.....dangerous..." "I know....but...it's good I'm here....people would have died of it wasn't for this ability. It's strenuous but at least I can be of use...." Leo smiled and turned to Pierson.
"I'm glad you're here too."
