Yaro Cerchei
Age: 25
Ht: 6'3
Wt: 210 lbs
Special Ability: Lock/Unlock
Yaro's ability allows him to lock anything he touches in place, conversely he can unlock it by touching it again. He had used this ability to lock all of "Water's" attacks as well as his body, in place. "Water" was completely helpless against Yaro and was completely beaten into the ground.
As Yaro stood over him he said, "You know we might all be a part of the Royal Guard, but we're not all equal and the top 4 members are on a whole other level. Just for your information I'm the third rated member of the Royal Guard."
Yaro was about to deliver the finishing blow, but his attack was deflected. "Water" looked up to see you had saved him, and he saw Toudou and Denjimi.
"What are you two doing here?" "Water" asked. The two were supposed to be assisting "War" in leading his army into battle.
"Lord "War" said he had a feeling you would need our assistance." Toudou said.
"He didn't think I was capable of winning on my own?" "Water" said.
"It's nothing like that, he was just concerned for your safety." Denjimi replied. "Oh and one more thing, he wanted me to tell you to remember what he told you the other day."
Toudou went on to parry a blow from Yaro, this opened up an opportunity for Denjimi to strike him with a heavy blow that sent him flying.
"That strike had more power than it should have. It must be part of his ability. These two have solid team work, what's more; they're strong. They're at least as strong as "Water". The personal adjutants of "War" are more formidable than I'd have thought. Still they're no match for me." Yaro thought.
As Toudou and Denjimi fought with Yaro, "Water" lay on the ground feeling helpless. He thought back to the last time he felt so helpless. "Water" was born on Osheina, a planet covered in vast oceans. His power to control water manifested at an incredibly young age, but unfortunately he was unable to control it. This caused several incidents at sea that claimed many lives. Eventually he was abandoned on a deserted island and left for dead. He was only 9 years old at this time.
He wasted away on that island for weeks until he was rescued by Chihiro, who was known at that time by the name of "Lightning". Even though his powers were raging out of control Chihiro didn't walk away, but rather he extended a helping hand to "Water". He would go on to take him in and try to help him control his powers and he was getting better. The Empire's medical team had even made medication to help him control his destructive tendencies.
However, this progress was halted when Chihiro was killed. And the man who killed him was "War". "Water" was then reminded of what Denjimi had said. He thought back to the conversation he had with "War" a few days ago.
"I'm going to be straight with you "Water" those pills High Command are giving you aren't helping you, they're just making you worse." "War" said.
"What are you talking about? Do you think I'd believe something like that from someone like you." "Water" said.
"You can believe what you want. I don't have anything to gain from lying to you though. I just thought you should know this isn't what Chihiro wanted." "War" responded.
"And what would you know about Chihiro?" "Water" shouted.
"I know more about him than you ever will." "War" said coldly. "Listen, he had already taught you how to control your powers. That mask and those pills are just holding you back. As long as you use them you'll never be the one in control. You should trust in what Chihiro taught you."
"War" had called in a favor with R&D and had "Water's" medication analyzed. The medication supposedly suppressed his outbursts. However, the analysis determined that his medication was actually a psychoactive drug that was designed to increase aggression. In other words his "medication" wasn't suppressing his mental breaks and violent outbursts, it was inducing them.
As "Water" was still laid out, Yaro had managed to take the upper hand in the fight against Toudou and Denjimi. Even two on one they weren't a match for him. They were at the point where they didn't have the strength left to fight.
"I'm still not sure what "War" was trying to tell me, but I can trust in Chihiro." "Water" thought as he took off his mask.
Haunted Mist!!
The mist spread and covered the battlefield, preventing Yaro from finishing off Toudou and Denjimi.
"I had heard you get a bit of a power boost when you take off your mask. I saw it in your fight against Keisha. Keisha was a formidable warrior, we had even entertained the thought of recruiting him to the Royal Guard. The only reason someone like you was able to beat Keisha was because he had let his guard down. I'm greater than Keisha in both strength and intellect, your little tricks won't work on me." Yaro said.
Yaro then went on to find "Water" in the mist and continued to deliver crushing blows. "Water" then gathered the mist into the form of a sword in his hand.
Blade of the Haunted Mist!!!!!
"Hmm, I'm surprised you still have the facility to use techniques, I thought you lost your sanity in this form. Either way it's no matter." Yaro then grabbed the sword to lock it into place.
However, as he attempted to grab the sword it changed shape and gave a deep slash to Yaro's back. The slash went deep and severed his spine making him unable to move.
"Ha, how embarrassing. I had just declared that I wouldn't underestimate you, but still I did anyway. I didn't think you had the capability to use a strategy like that in your current state." Yaro said weakly. "I'll warn you that the two men ahead of me are far more powerful, your captain doesn't stand a chance at beating our captain."
"Water" didn't respond because he had already passed out. He had used up all of his strength to defeat Yaro. After he had finished speaking, Yaro passed away.
"What a monster. It took all three of us to defeat him, and even then it was barely by the skin of our teeth." Toudou said.
"I'm quite embarrassed. We had come to save Sir "Water" but it was us who had to be saved by him." Denjimi said a he tended his wounds.
"Don't be, such was the caliber of our opponent. My concern is for Lord "War". Our opponent here was at least equal to Lord "War" in terms of strength. If their captain is truly far stronger, then I fear for our lord's safety." Toudou said.
"I agree. Unfortunately we're not going to be of any help with our injuries. We need to get our wounds healed as soon as possible so we can rush to Lord "War's" side." Denjimi said.
"It seems that about half of the Royal Guard has been wiped out my lord." An attendant told King Venpa.
"That is unfortunate, well except for Draco he was kind of a freak. Still we must push forward. I think it's time to mobilize our new recruits." The King said.
"You mean the Imperial defectors sir?"
"Yes, send them east towards Lakashia. Kize and the others should be enough to stop their southern offensive. Are you boys ready for your first mission?" The King said as two men walked in. "I have high hopes for you, former Imperial Royal Guard squad captains, "Sun"
And "Moon"
"Yes, sir." They said in unison
