Sasuke slashed at the last Rigormortis. Black flame sprung up from the ground. It died down, and more appeared. Sasuke slashed at one while kneeing another, sending it flying. He ducked to avoid one, sweeping it's legs out from under it, and turning around to kick it away. He backflipped to avoid another attack. "Damn...they never give up..." He said, catching his breath.

( ehem idiot?)

Aimi smiles weakly and nods.

" Ya, lets go."

Aimi enters the Haven she breathes in the smell of food and heads toward the kitchen.

" I've never been so hungry in my life!" She exclaims. Aimi smiles and starts to eat.

( ehem idiot?)

Aimi smiles weakly and nods.

" Ya, lets go."

Aimi enters the Haven she breathes in the smell of food and heads toward the kitchen.

" I've never been so hungry in my life!" She exclaims. Aimi smiles and starts to eat.

 

(that's sasuke's outlook)

Natoram after finishng checking up on Aimi had decided to head north where he would go and polish his techniques in case of another attack on both himself and everyone else.

Pleased by the hunger subdued by his magnificent dish, Redding decides to go train a little. "If only I could surpass my power even further, I would be able to defeat all Rigomortia ever created." He summons his Kye and heads for a giant boulder. It takes him a small amount of time to lift the boulder into the air and jump and destroy the boulder in one hit. "I wonder what my Blood Knuckles will evolve into when I get stronger." He pictures a giant red bazooka that shoots missiles into various Rigomortis'. Although he would like that as the next stage of his Blood Knuckles, he knows that it would be unrealistic.

Aimi finished eating and summoned her dagger. She headed for a small lake with various stones sticking up from it. She used the stones to balance above the water flipping and twirling stabbing imaginary enemies. She liked to use this time to calm herself and think.

" If we do find the source of the Rigomortia, what will be waiting for us there?" She wondered throwing her dagger at a tree and swiftly jumping across the lake to retreive it.

Natoram was seen in a mountain like ravine where here did he started practicing his N-Fire technique, Hoping to take to new levels then ever before.

Sasuke arrives at the haven, but nothing happened, as it seemed. Still confident his feeling was corect, he ran into the woods behind the woods, until he found it: A Rigomortia stronghold. Right under their noses. It spanned underground, as going above the trees would transpire questions of it's existence. "Is this where they're coming from?" He asked himself, and crouched as he walked to the entrance. He summoned his Kye. All he needed was one of his black swords. He would only need the other for close situations, because thesecond drained his Kye period faster. He quietly made his way down the slope that went underground.

Natoram was seen shooting multiple N-Fires from North to South and East to West as he was starting to get tired but shrugged it off as he started getting back on his feet after wiping off his sweat and began charging a much more bigger N-Fire, Bigger then all of the other N-Fires before it which Natoram calls the "Nexus-Fire."

Aimi noticed a bright flaming light coming from higher up in the mountain.

" What... is that?" She wondered and climbed a tree for a better look. She could see Natoram practicing. She hopped from tree to tree getting a closer look.

" Hello!" She called down to Natoram. He seemed to be getting tired.

After finishing his training and feeling stronger than ever he sensed what he never wanted to sense ever, a group of Rigomortia not too far from him. He sees Sasuke go into the underground area with only one of his Kye blades equipped. "So, looks like the quiet guy found a nest of Rigomortia." Redding summons his Kye and heads underground after Sasuke. He finds Sasuke and says "How do you want to take these down?"

"Aimi!? Get out of here!! It's going to-" Said Natoram as he had sensed that he was unable to control the Nexus-Fire from exploding so he had faced towards the ground as it had then exploded right in front of him at point blank range as he wanted to do everything i could at that very moment to protect Aimi from being killed by his own carelessness at his surroundings.

Sasuke sighed. "Sabotage, how else?" He turned a corner and saw tubes with green liquid in them, and Rigomortis' floating the them. The tubes opened, and they stepped out, took the form of Army Generals, probably to avoid suspicion if someone saw them walk out of the base. The tubes closed, refilled with green fluid, and he saw the liquid merging together, creating parts of Rigomortis body in seperate places, fusing together, and walking out of the tube,already gaining free will and intelligence. "So that's how..." he muttered.

Aimi shelds herself from the explosion.

" Natoram?!" She jumps down from the tree and runsover to him.

" Are you ok? I'm so sorry i should have left you alone!" Aimi's eyes fill with tears.

Natoram puts his left hand on Aimi's Left Cheek and says to her while injured on the ground with both his body entirely bruised and his face beaten up "Heh, Don't worry as long as your safe, That's good enough for me, So please, Please don't cry, For my sake." Said Natoram as water started to fill his eyes as well upon seeing Aimi being sad with Tears in her eyes.

Aimi wipes her eyes and sits next to Notoram. She pulls out a green leaf from a small bag laced to her side.

" Chew on this." She hands the small leaf to him and closes her bag.

" It'll help." She assures him.

"O-okay." Said Natoram as he used his Left Hand to reach and pick up the Green Leaf and then chews on it while saying to Aimi "Thank you, I gladly appriciate this.".

"You know what we have to do, right Sasuke." Said Redding as he is examining the tubes full of the green essence. But we can't just destroy the tubes he thought to himself. He thought of a plan that might just work. He said to Sasuke "how about we find where the green fluid is being pumped into these tubes, then, we smash it down and get out of here quick."

Aimi nods.

" Can you walk?" She asked rising up onto one knee. She needed to get him back to the Haven. She looked him over, he was badly bruised but he would be ok after some rest.

"Yeah, M-more or less." said Natoram as he was trying to get back on his feet by standing up on his right foot first while he could feel the pain from getting up-"Ouch."

"I doubt there's even a source, I've never seen liquid of this caliber anywhere." Sasuke said, sighing. He held his sword ready and walked slowly to the tubes. He fingered at the control panel beside it, and saw a big red switch. He pressed it, and the liquid stopped forming Rigormortis parts. A blaring red siren sounded throughout the stronghold, and Sasuke swore. They were surrounded by Rigormortis'.

Fighting the groups of Rigomortis alongside Sasuke, he sees someone he thought he would never see again, his father. "Dad..?" he could barely speak. The man turns around and says "I am not your father, I am the man who killed your father." The man turns into a horrifying creature and begins his assault on Redding. He summons his Kye and fights back. Redding keeps getting hit left and right until he hears something in his mind, "you can do it son, defeat him, for me", it was the sound of his real father in his mind. He gets back up and yells out a sharp roar and his Blood Knuckles begin to glow a blindingly red bright light. After the light subdues, the form of his Kye has evolved into blood red gauntlets that extend from his knuckles to his forearm, and the 12 hours hands from his watch appears on both gauntlets. Feeling the pride of his father, Redding says to the creature "your time is up." He does a three-hit combo with his new weapons and the Rigomortis has burst into black flames. Now, he goes back to fighting the other Rigomortis' around him.

After cleaving through Rigomortis after Rigomortis, Sasuk's Kye left him, and he was bullying his way through with his fists. "Nice gauntlets ya got there, Redding. Sasuke said, kicking one in the air, jumping up and kicking it back down into a group of Rigomortis', watching them spontaneously combust into black flames altogether.

" Careful!" She helped him up and had him lean on her.

" Godd thing you didnt wonder too far." She sighed not looking forward to having to walk all the way back. They reached the Haven and she set Natoram down. Then left to find some bandages.

Amazed by his new Kye form, Redding was killing and killing all the Rigomortis left and right. He punched one of them so hard it flew back and crashed into a group of others and all that was left was black flame disappearing. He examines the two clock on both of his gauntlets and decides to try something. He makes a full circle with his fingers on both of them and he notices something amazing. It appears that everything around him is slowing down and when he looks back at his gauntlets, he sees a white circle that was over the circles he made start to go away in a clockwise movement. He runs toward the slowly moving Rigomortis' and he fights, after each punch, they are seen slowly flying backwards and black flames emanating from them. When the white circle runs out, time seems to revert to normal. "Hah! Looks like I figured these things out, and am glad of it" he says with a smile. But doing this new technique will surely drain him, but right now, he feels like he's on top of the world.

"N-NO! D-don't go!!" said Natoram as he could barely reach himself off the ground just in the nick of time to use his Right hand to grab Aimi's Left arm, Not wanting her to leave his side.
