Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR]

He decided to start at the Hunting Grounds and work their way outward and back around towards the resorts eventually. Alec landed in the middle of a large, open field. The sounds of animals were all around them. It was a hot, beautiful day.

He didn't know exactly how long this would take, but he didn't exactly care, either. Everyone knew exactly where he was this time, and if they really needed him, they could just teleport to him or something along those lines.

Taking out his walking stick and having a look around the area in which he stood, he waited until Kurai and Seraphina landed, and then this Survival Adventure would officially be underway.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Tue Feb 03, 2015 7:43 pm

Seraphina took the opportunity while she was in the air to look around the area that they were headed first: it was a flat area where there was a great deal of plants and some wildlife that she could see in the distance. At least they would have a readily available form of food, provided they could catch and kill it. Seraphina landed gently on the ground a few feet away from her brother, taking that moment in time to check and make sure she had all of the items she had set out with on her - which she did.

Feeling how hot it was she removed the black over-sleeves she wore and tied them around her waist while waiting for Kurai and Little Kong to land, and to hear what the over all plan was. This was definitely going to be a lot of fun, and an exciting adventure.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:04 pm

Kurai sped down low and came to a sudden stop, causing a cloud of dust to rise behind the force. Little Kong jumped off of his back and executed a number and flips and cartwheels in his excitement, screech noises filling the air. Kurai set his bare feet down upon the ground. His Shinsai ability let him see that there were many forms of animals and wild life on and even in the ground all around them for many miles.

He happened to get a good look at this island, as well as the giant village across the river with towers that seemed to stretch all the way into the heavens, especially the one in the middle of them all. Kurai wondered if it was Alec's original village.

It was hot, so Kurai took out a bottle of water and poured it over his head, then splashed the rest of it upon Little Kong who screeched and rubbed his face. What was the plan? Alec would surely have one.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:10 pm

"Ok... I figure we can circle around the back of the island starting from here, and work our way back around front, to the resorts. For now, we should find somewhere there's water... it's gonna get dark soon. We could set up a camp near the watering hole, and then see about something to eat tonight. I donno about you all but I gotta taste for some meat..."

It'd been years since Alec hunted anything. Maybe a deer or a bird, or a rabbit or something. Some sweet plants as a side dish. Alec started walking, holding his walking stick with his left ungloved hand. He closed his eyes and used the radar to scan for the nearest water source as he walked.

"There could be poisonous snakes and Jaguars around here, so keep your wits about you..."

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:28 pm

Seraphina listened to Alec's plan and figured it sounded like a good one. Water and shelter would definitely have to be their main priorities, food as well. Meat sounded really good: there was nothing fresher and more tastier than meat from a fresh kill cooked over a fire. "Mmm, fresh meat sounds like a delicious idea for dinner.", Seraphina said in agreement.

While Seraphina didn't have any special sight abilities she did have survival instincts that had kicked into gear the moment she landed. She sniffed at the air and could pick up the tiniest tinge of water on the hot breeze that was blowing. She followed after Alec, keeping a close eye on the area around them in case anything dangerous or poisonous was lurking nearby. Her hand rested near her weapon, ready to draw it just in case.

While she moved she also began thinking about trying to get her hands on some sort of projectile weapon: she knew how to make bows and arrows by hand, so she was going to keep her eye out for the best wood possible to use which was Yew. A Yew bow would come in handy when it came to hunting, especially if they ended up splitting up to do the hunting.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 11:52 am

The plan was to circle around the backside of the island and head back towards the front. Since this was a survival adventure, Kurai figured that they'd walk the whole way. That was fine with him. The longer he got to stay out here, the better. Kurai didn't really feel like reading Manga when they began to walk, as he wanted to take in all of the sights, so he left his book collection within his backpack for now.

Little Kong scrambled back and fourth for now, gathering wild plants, herbs and berries that were safe for consumption. He would return to Kurai often and store them in the big back pocket of his pack for later.

"So, Kurikage, tell us a story, to pass the time," Kurai said while they walked. "What happened in the village of cannibals? How did you end up over there in the middle of it?" He was still curious to hear the tale, and wondered if he'd get to engage on an adventure similar one day...

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 12:01 pm

That Pacific City thing seemed like so long ago now. There were probably many other survivors over there, scrambling from one safe place to the next, fighting for their lives. There were probably even more over there fighting for their lives. There's was nothing much he could do about it now, he'd gotten out all that he could.

"I don't know how I got there, I just woke up and found myself in the middle of it all... The people who made the place were jealous of my father and me. They started doing experiments on human blood to try and find a way to turn people into super humans. There was an accident, and some of their experimental drugs got out and turned most of the city into cannibal monsters. A friend of mine that lives in that big city you saw on the way here, he calls himself "The Vigilante," he came over to help me out. We decided to try and evacuate the people that managed to survive. My grand daughter Amaranth came over to help us too..."

Some lions in the distance had chased something down and started to devour it. Their faces were red with blood, and Alec could no longer tell what the beast was; possibly a Wildebeest or a Zebra. Alec moved so that their scents wouldn't be caught in the wind of the lions, and to prevent the animals coming after them next. He ducked low behind the brush while moving swiftly, his left hand on the sheath of the Kane Katana, the right hovering above it's handle...

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 12:40 pm

As they walked Seraphina listened closely to the tale that her brother told. She couldn't imagine how horrifying that must have been to witness - people eating other people. And all of it had been caused because of jealousy, jealousy and an experimental drug getting accidentally released. She was glad to hear that her brother, someone named The Vigilante, and a member of the family named Amaranth, had cleared a good majority of the people out. She hoped that anyone left there still would be able to find their way out safely too.

"Why can't people just be normal and be happy with it?", Seraphina asked, brows furrowed. She knew she had abilities, but she had no intention of using them unless the situation absolutely called for it - she liked doing things the old fashioned way. "I like doing things the old fashioned way... no powers."

For now though she focused back on the little adventure they were having now. A sniff of the air brought the smell of blood cleanly to her nose and she was able to see what looked like lions in the distance devouring something - she had no idea what it could be given how ripped a part it was. She saw her brother duck down and followed suit, not wanting to be spotted or scented by the lions.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 2:06 pm

It all sounded strange. Alec was a strange and mysterious person, and it was revealed that he was even more than he looked to be in the other world. He could only imagine the kind of person Alec's father was. He had to be even more powerful and mysterious if there were those that were jealous of him.

Even Little Kong was listening to the story as he munched on berries. A person named Vigilante and his grand daughter - as hard as that was to believe - came over to help him. He looked forward to hear more, until he noticed the pride of lions feasting over a fresh kill. Shinsai let him look closely at the situation. it wasn't disgusting, and he didn't find the situation scary. This was nature, this was what happened.

Still, he ducked down with Seraphina and Alec. From the way Alec was leading, he was making sure that their scents didn't get carried over to them in the wind. This was smart. Shinsai also told him that nothing else was around. Nothing big, anyway. Kurai pointed to a scorpion nearby, and Little Kong quietly dealt with it, ripping out the stinger and shoving the body into his mouth.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 2:14 pm

Kane continued on with the story once they were out of the range of the eating lions. The 3 of them explored a police station before moving on to the suburbs, where they found survivors and had to deal with a crazed family who killed anything, zombie or still alive. The mall came next, and how they had to escape when the zombies came inside. Alec distracted them with a car and music while everyone else got out in RVs.

By then, the sun had gone down, and the sky was a light blue that turned into a darker blue higher up. There were the sounds of the insects that came out at night, and the howls of coyotes in the distance. The river came into view, and Alec used his ungloved left hand to take a drink. There was a decent area to make a camp, surrounded by thick brush.

"Alright... This looks like a good enough spot to chill out for the night. Sera, would you mind finding some wood so we can start a fire? Kurai, would you mind gathering up some water? I'll start looking around for something for us to eat..."

Alec jumped upwards into the branches of the trees above them. He climbed to a high branch and sat down to close his eyes, letting his radar go to work in all immediate directions...

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 2:32 pm

They got past the lions and then her brother continued on with his story; Seraphina stayed quiet and listened closely. Alec, The Vigilante, and Amaranth had explored a police station before moving on to the suburbs where they met a family that killed and ate people whether they were zombies or not, and then on to a mall where they had been when the zombies got in. She listened as Alec explained how he used a car and loud music to distract the zombies in order for everyone else to get away.

While they had been walking with Alec telling his story the sky had begun to change and start to darken as night neared. However, the strong smell of water announced that they had reached the river, and there was an excellent area nearby that would work well for a camp site. She took a drink from the canteen she had brought with her, finishing off the last little bit that was in there, and then re-filled it up and screwed the lid back on top.

She looked over to her brother when he asked her to find some fire wood and nodded. "Sure!", she said before she wandered off, ensuring she kept in a single direction as to not lose her way back as it got darker and darker. She found a fallen tree that was dry - so it would burn good - and which wasn't all that thick, allowing her to make quick work with her stick sword to cut it down to size to make it easier to carry. She piled the wood up and snatched up some dry and dead grass which would work great as tinder to get the fire really burning so it didn't go out. With her arms full she carried the wood back to camp, being careful to keep a look-out for any random dangerous animals or plants, as well as random holes in the ground.

Once back at camp she dropped the wood off to the side in a pile and double checked that the tinder was still in a pocket of her bag - which was where she had put it to keep it safe. She looked at her pile of logs and knew that despite how much fire wood that looked to be it likely wouldn't be enough to keep it burning all night. So, with that in mind she walked back in the same direction she had before and gathered up more: breaking off branches and picking up scraps of wood so she didn't end up accidentally dulling the blade of her sword.

She returned several times with arm fulls of wood, and on her last trip she found herself lucky enough to come across a branch of Yew that had given her an idea for a weapon. She also came across a large hemp plant which she picked a lot of, figuring it would make a great bow string. She put the last pile of wood in the giant pile she had created and the branch of Yew off to the side. "I think I'll make a bow out of this yew..." She wiped a bit of sweat off her brow, her stomach grumbling slightly.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 3:17 pm

Kurai gave a nod, glad he brought along extra containers. He and Little Kong headed down to the river. He gave a couple of the containers to Little Kong as he lowered into a squat, filling the containers with the water. Little Kong did the same. After Little Kong's containers were full, he suddenly went charging into the water, going under for several moments. The monkey emerged moments later with a large fish.

"Nice. Looks like we'll have ourselves a proper feast tonight, good job," Kurai said, patting his simian companion on top of his wet head.

Kurai and Little Kong returned with water and a large fish. He couldn't see Alec through Shinsai, so he figured that he wasn't on the ground, probably in a tree. Kurai sat down and pulled out a Kunai when Little Kong handed him the fish. "We got a little lucky down at the water," he said to Seraphina as he began to go about the process of gutting it. He'd learned this while spending time out on the road with his family.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 3:24 pm

Things were scurrying about down in the darkness; small rodents, insects, reptiles. Alec never knew that Amaranth had such a place on this island. Then again, when he was Boss of Edge, he never had the time to come and find out. Makkura could practically run itself, so there was more time to do things such as these.

When a deer came jogging by, separated from it's herd, Alec pulled his folding bow from the device on his left arm and let loose an arrow. It found it's mark in the base of the deer's neck. Terrified, the deer began to run, but this only sped up the death process. Eventually it collapsed and bled out.

Retrieving the deer, Alec returned to camp. He used Katon chakra to light a fire after preparing the wood that Seraphina gathered, illuminating the area. Alec used his Hidden Blade to start gutting the deer. He noticed that Seraphina looked like she began to consider making some sort of weapon, and that Kurai and little Kong caught a fish.

"Not bad guys, a side dish. Good thinking... If you need some help with that Sera, let me know."

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 4:11 pm

Seraphina looked over to the fish that Kurai and Little Kong seemed to have caught and grinned. "Oh, excellent!" A fish was definitely going to be a nice addition to whatever it was that Alec had scored. She sat down nearby and stared at the Yew branch she had scored. She tested its bending capacity before she began to mentally plan on exactly how she was going to form a bow out of it.

She looked up at Alec dragged a deer back into the camp and started gutting it. Her stomach growled again and she patted it. "Oh good, I'm starving."

She then looked back to the Yew branch. "Thinking about making a longbow... need a smaller knife though to really carve into this like I need to. Too hard to do with a sword. Especially when I start making the arrows." She turned the branch over, wondering which side would be a good one to start with..

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 5:02 pm

Kurai finished gutting the fish, then used the kunai to make individual slices. Alec started a fire, lighting the area with an orange glow. He made sure to keep his feet flat on the ground to keep watch for any surprise attacks.

Alec came back with a deer. With the herbs and berries that Little Kong picked, they'd eat good tonight. The first day of their survival trek was looking good. With t he fish properly prepared, he fixed several of the slices on a nearby stick and put them over the fire.

Alec began to gut the deer and prepare it to be cooked. The fish smell was already enterig his nostrils. He had to be weary of some wild animal attracted by the smell. Little Kong looked to be on guard as well...

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 5:08 pm

Alec took one of the Hidden Blades from it's housing and handed it to Seraphina to use. He used the other one to cut open the deer and remove the inedible innards. During the process, he explained that his survival group held up in a house before they were attacked and some were killed. There was also a highway battle against renegades.

Before long, they got to a survival camp where the last of the brilliant minds behind this catastrophe were held up, including the leader, the man primarily responsible of the whole thing and the most jealous of Alec and his father. A victim of the experiments who'd been transformed into an intelligent zombie showed up, and a battle ensued. The leader injected himself with a formula that wasn't quite finished yet.

Alec probably would have lost if not for the formula melting his body and turning him into a pile of goo. This allowed him and the rest of the survivors to escape Pacific City. Alec put them all into housing around Edge, and they were now living normally.

He finished gutting the deer and began to cut out slices to cook and eat. Alec used some of the mesh he used to construct his special gloves and boots, spreading it across a couple of hard branches, a "skillet" if you will. Deer and fish meat began to sizzle over the fire. Alec quickly went off with the deer's remains, spreading it about to deter any scavengers.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 5:31 pm

"Thanks.", Seraphina said as she took the blade from Alec: this was definitely going to make her life a heck of a lot easier. She saw Kurai preparing the fish and watched for a moment as Alec started to do the same to the deer. While they worked on the food she began to carve into the Yew branch. All of the larger scraps she put into a pile to use later on for the arrows, and the other shavings she'd keep and use later on for more tinder.

She worked fast and efficiently, following the pattern she had in her mind to work the branch into the perfect bow shape. Every so often she would stop, checking the length of the bow compared to her body to ensure she didn't make it too little or too high. The smell of the food caused her stomach to keep grumbling as she worked, but she was able to shape the bow rather quickly. While she worked she listened to Alec continue to tell his story of his last adventure, and wondered how she would have handled being in that sort of situation - it sounded scary. "That sounds kinda scary to be honest."

When she was finished with the bow itself she double checked it, ending with the notched areas at the top and bottom of the bow for the bow string, as well as a little notch to help support the arrow. She glanced over towards the food to see how far along it was, waiting to see if she should wait before starting on the bow string.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Wed Feb 04, 2015 6:14 pm

Kurai agreed with Seraphina when she said it seemed scary, but Kurai didn't know if he himself would have been scared. He couldn't really imagine himself in a place with millions of hungry cannibals trying to eat him.

He turned over the fish several times while Alec told the story. By the time he was done, so was the fish. He quickly returned to the river to was off large leaves from the nearby growth to be used as "plates" of a sort.

After serving everyone a decent helping, he waited for the main course. Little Kong too the time to give everyone some of the healthy nutritious plants he'd picked, and some of the berries as an after dinner snack.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Thu Feb 05, 2015 10:52 am

To ordinary folk, the situation would have been down terrifying, but it was honestly pretty fun to Alec. He hadn't been in that kind of situation since he was a child. When he returned from spreading the decoy meat about, the "Venison BBQ" was done. Alec gave everyone a share, even Little Kong. The monkey returned the favor by putting some of the plants he'd picked on the way here onto the "plates" with the fish.

It was a good meal, made better by the fact that they'd gathered and prepared it themselves. Food from a robot or from a store or restaurant couldn't really compare. When the meal was finished, he unsheathed the Kane Katana - the glow having returned to the weapon since leaving PC, making it look as if the blade were on fire, the air shimmering and moving around it - and began to sharpen it. The other worldly weapon already had much history in its short existence; he'd killed and maimed quite a few people with it.

Kane Katana:

Name: Kane Katana

Appearance:

Type: Weapon
Affinities: Wind, Lightning, Fire
Description: Beautiful craftsmanship smothers every inch of this custom sword. The handle offers intricate nylon cord wrapping with cast metal pommel and guard accented with brass plated fittings. The 25 3/4" blade is heat tempered, “Cold Steel” construction (Cold Steel being a nearly unbreakable metal only found in Korigakure). Includes a classic black lacquer scabbard. 40" overall.

Acts committed with this weapon:

Enhancements:
The Wind: Alec can channel wind-natured chakra into the sword to raise the piercing power +1, and the range of the sword by 5 feet. (Meaning if he were to miss a swing, the wind would still inflict damage the same as the sword itself would) While holding the sword with The Wind active, Alec is surrounded by a gale of wind 2 feet in diameter that can throw opponents a distance of roughly 5 feet, and also deflect most projectile attacks.

The Lightning: Alec can channel lightning-natured chakra into the sword for increased piercing power +1 with the added effect of inducing numbness. While holding the sword with The Lightning active, Alec is surrounded by a field of electricity 2 feet in diameter that has a 50% chance of causing numbness & 2nd degree burns, and a 25% chance of causing paralysis to opponents.

The Fire: Alec can channel Fire-natured chakra into the sword for increased piercing power +1 with the added effect of causing 2nd to 3rd degree burns on contact with another person. The victim's clothes and other flammable articles/items will be set ablaze. While holding the sword with The Fire active, Alec is surrounded by a field of fire 2 feet in diameter that will cause the same burn wounds to opponents, and set anything flammable in the vicinity on fire.

"Security": Alec has total control over the chakra flow, meaning allies in his vicinity will not be harmed by the effects. Should anyone except Alec attempt to wield the blade, they run the risk of an electric jolt from the handle that will travel directly to the heart, resulting in their death, or being infected with countless microscopic wind-blades that severely damage the body on a cellular level. These sever all nerve channels in the hand and arm used to grasp the blade, leaving the target unable to move that arm after being infected. They also attack the entire chakra circulatory system, which cannot be repaired by any form of medical ninjutsu whatsoever. Depending on the severity of the damage, the victim may not be able to perform a technique ever again.

"In tune:" This enchantment causes the weapon to synchronize with it's user's Chakra. When it's user's Chakra becomes disturbed from being caught within a Genjutsu, special steel barbs built into the Tsuka (or handle) will protrude from it suddenly; the barbs being sharp enough to break the skin but not leave any lasting damage. This mechanism is designed to break the user of the sword out of the Genjutsu. Only individuals with Kane/Black-Hand blood can take advantage of this Enchantment.

"You two -- I mean 3 should get some sleep. I can keep watch in all directions even if I doze off, so you don't have to worry about something sneaking up on us."

Besides the sound of metal sharpening metal, there were still the sounds of crickets, owls in the trees, and jackals howling in the distance. Alec was honestly too energetic to go to sleep, and doubted that he'd get any at all that night...

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Thu Feb 05, 2015 11:48 am

Seraphina thanked Kurai for the fish, Little Kong for the berries and greens, and then Alec for the deer. She ate while she worked, stripping the hemp and turning it effectively into the fibers she would need for her bowstring. She would take a bite in between spinning the threads up until all of the food on her 'plate' was gone. By the time she was finished eating she had also finished with the bowstring.

She sat on the bow itself, pulling first one side towards her to tie the string to the top notch and then the other, using her own weight to keep the bow from fighting the slight bend she was forcing into it. Once the bow was finished she put it down beside herself and yawned as she made several quick arrows that would work well enough. Her brother spoke of them getting some sleep and how he could keep an eye on things even if he dozed off and so she nodded sleepily and handed him back the blade he had let her borrow.

She tugged her bag over to herself and pulled out the knee length cloak she had packed, figuring it would make good bedding. She laid it out and then using her backpack as a make-shift pillow she laid down, yawning softly. Once her head hit the 'pillow' she was out like a light.

Subject: Re: Survival Adventure Part 1 [Open][NR] Thu Feb 05, 2015 12:16 pm

The meal was great. He'd never had one like it. Little Kong had stuffed himself and began to doze next to the fire already. When Alec spoke, he pulled a blanket from in his pack and lay it out, stretching himself upon it and using his pack as a pillow.

"Kuraikage... i've known you all this time but I barely know anything about you," Kurai said, always beginning to doze. "I heard about some of the things you did back in the other world, but what about here?..."

Assuming that Alec would tell of some of his past exploits up until the time he came to the other world, Kurai would listen until he dozed off..

[Exit]

Nothing was around them. The wild animals in the immediate vicinity of them were keeping their distance. With the Kane Katana as sharp as ever, he sheathed the weapon and put it back to his left side, to then begin sharpening the Blind Fury Stick Sword. he hadn't done much with this weapon, but it was once used to cut someone in half. He designed it personally to resemble an ordinary polished walking stick.

Blind Fury Stick Sword:

Name: Blind Fury Stick Sword

Appearance:

Type: Weapon
Affinities: Lightning, Wind, Fire
Description: Blind Fury Stick Swords have a full length straight katana disguised as a simple walking stick. The blade of this Blind Fury sword is fully tempered carbon steel. It has a black lacquered handle and scabbard. Cloth storage sleeve. Individual specifications may vary slightly per sword.

Acts committed with this sword:

Overall Length: 39 1/2"
Blade Length: 28 1/2"
Handle Length: 10 1/2"
Blade Material: Fully Tempered Carbon Steel with etched temper line
Weight: 1 lb 8 oz.
Width at Guard: 0.25"
Width at tip: 0.20"
Thickness at Guard: 0.25"
Thickness at tip: 0.20"
Point of Balance: 8

Enhancements:
Lightning : Unsheathed, Lightning chakra channeled into the blade raises piercing power 1 rank with the chance to cause numbness to victims cut with the blade. While sheathed and disguised as a regular walking stick, the user can charge chakra into the weapon, signaled by a slight blue glow, for up to 3 posts to produce a shock upon making contact with a victim, ranging from non lethal, (Stunned for 1 post, 1 post charge) used as a form of attack, (Stunned for 2 posts, violently thrown off of the feet, 2 post charge) and killing or immoblizing an unsuspecting foe (Electric shock which induces total paralyzation, if a target's neck is touched, or a heart attack if touched upon the chest, killing the opponent, 3 post charge).

Wind: Unsheathed, Wind chakra channeled into the blade raises piercing power 1 rank with the chance to infect a potential victim with many small, stinging razor sharp needles of air. The more of these Wind razors that a victim is infected with, the more difficult it will be for them to weave techniques. 3 cuts in a particular area of the body will render that area useless due to the infection of Wind razors. Wind chakra also comes with the added effect of increasing the range of the blade from close to mid, providing the chance of targets being hit even if the actual swing should miss. While sheathed and disguised as a regular walking stick, the user can charge chakra into the weapon, signaled by a slight breeze, for up to 3 posts to produce a concussive blast. The initial 1 post charged blast is powerful enough to throw a full grown man from his feet, and knock down thick wooden doors while locked. A 2 post charge can throw as many as 3 people from their feet, and blow holes in concrete. A 3 post charge can knock over as many as 5 people at the same time, and puncture some of the hardest known metals. This enhancement can be combined with Fire to cause severe 3rd and 4th degree burns.

Fire: Unsheathed, Fire does not raise piecing power, but comes with the added effect of causing 2nd degree burns upon contact with a victim. Repeated cuts raise the damage to 3rd degree and eventually 4th, which usually require amputation to prevent infection. While sheathed and disguised as a regular walking stick, the user can charge chakra into the weapon, signaled by a slight orange glow, for up to 3 posts to produce several effects. The initial 1 post charge will simply set flammable substances ablaze, good for mostly triggering attacks, detonating explosives and providing distractions. Combined with Wind, this produces a torch-like effect. The 2 post charge causes an explosion similar to the detonation of a Frag Grenade, sending many tiny “Shrapnel” shards in all directions to cause 2rd degree burns to whoever is within a 5 meter range. Combined with Wind, this raises the damage to severe 3rd degree and gives the user control over the trajectory of the “Shrapnel,” to avoid burning themselves. A 3 post charge can cause an explosion powerful enough to level an ordinary house, and potentially kill as many as 3 people within close range. Combined with Wind, this gives the user control over the direction and recoil (shockwave) of the detonation, as to avoid doing damage to themselves.

Kurai asked him about some of the things he'd been through here. Alec noticed that after putting together her bow and handing back his blade - which he returned to it's housing - Seraphina dozed, as did Little Kong. While beginning to sharpen the stick sword, Alec told Kurai some of the exploits while he was a member of the notorious group called The Chaos Squad.

He described how he was once a silent killer who showed little to no emotion, not hesitating to kill whoever came into Ness Crib with bad intentions. How before that he was a spy in a clan that called itself "Hell's Fury," a clan that his father was also a part of. Hell's Fury spent more time fighting itself more than other clans, so life in the clan was hectic. Alec told Kurai about a longtime rivalry with a man named Kinoki; about how he'd nearly been killed by him many times, and after being trained by a special member of The Chaos Squad named Ukime - a female he once had a thing for - Alec was able to defeat his rival with just one attack...

By then, Kurai would probably be asleep. Alec took the opportunity to doze some too, leaning on the tree he was previously in to shoot the deer, but even in his sleep able to see the surrounding area through the use of the chakra radar...
