Joseph stood with gharma, waiting to be called or given the opportunity to assist, not wanting to butt into any altercation just yet. The canine's eyes followed everyone it could, taking in information between the fights and movement. "Your eye still sore?" He inquired, though he didn't look away from where he was already focusing on.
"Im fine. I think we need to form a strategy. Some of us need to stay on offense and some on defense. We can switch if need be." He stood back watching Yuki's fight. He didn't really want to get involved since Yuki could be wild.
Tengoku instinctively moved behind her once more and picked her back up, German suplexinf her straight into the dirt before letting go. He rolled back holding his nose that was bleeding, using his arm to wipe his nose before moving back for the flag. Kasaru chased after Raiden as he was dragged away by Shizukana, sliding towards Shizukana, he joined in and used the acceleration to deliver a jab into her abdominal. "I might as well try and help you with this seeing as I won't be doing much with the flags!" Matsumi looked at all this chaos and started to slowly tiptoe away from all the action.
Shizu leaned back and got hit in her side front losing balance and falling backwards. However, she still had ahold of Raiden's feet as she ripped him back toward her. She stomped her boot into his stomach, using the trajectory and velocity of his body to pull toward her and strike him. She grabbed his wrist and jumped, kicking him in the side of his head to keep him back. Shizu then pulled Raiden by the rope, hurling him towards Kazaru as she moved around him at speeds he could not fathom, throwing him right into his teammate with the trap she had caught him in.
Vermelha's creatures jumped on to Kokkaku as she slid to the side from their encounter, they started to eat and claw away at his skin as they were feral, burning him in the process due to what they were made out of.
Raiden hit Kasaru but stuck his arms out and in towards the ground. He tumbled and folded as he coughed out blood, his head pounding from the blow to his skull. He twisted his lower body and rolled backwards to drag Shizukana towards himself with the remaining rope he had, his palm on the ground dragging the dirt upwards.
Shizu attached another rope to Raiden that wrapped around his arm, constraining him so that he couldn't move easily. She walked toward him unarming a small staff, a key piece thay was passed down to her through the Rakshasa family. She unloaded on him as she poked and stabbed at him with the spear, hitting him in the chest and face as she spun it around. Raiden took the blows to his upper body, the desperation of the situation led him to extend his hands, marks appearing on his arms of ancient texts, he was knocked back into the ground from Shizukana's pole, but suddenly-
"Nagakiba, assist me!"
A gigantic sword that resembled his fathers blade appeared in his hands providing extreme weight to his wrists. He swung the sword at her staff with quick succession showing his proficiency with his blade. He jerked the sword backwards to pull Shizu close as he smacked the back end of the blade into Shizu's side.
Yuki struggled to get to her knees. To be quite honest, Tengoku was beating her to a pulp. It was only so long before she would have to let him take the flag. She spun a sprite of mana around as two guns appeared within her hands. "I guess we're going all in.." Her face hurt from the recent attacks but her guns were finally in her hands, she aimed for Tengoku and fire shots at him, multiple high speed blasts headed for Tengoku, her eyes squinting to get the precise shot against Tengoku with her mana bolts.
Shizu blocked the initial slash with her staff. her mana protecting it from breaking, she was hit in her side as she recoiled back. She ripped and tugged at the ropes she had as she pulled him away from the flag with his blade forward. She stepped into his blade, standing on top of the side, almost balancing on it as she looked at him. She aimed her pole out on him balancing perfectly on the sword, the two close to each other. She whispered to him, looking deep into his eyes. The flag just a little bit away. "Come then. Use Nagakiba to destroy me."
Tengoku zig zagged through the field, using his small frame as an advantage. He started to throw mana blasts back as they canceled out the shots, the attacks exploding left and right. He rolled into the box, grabbing Ashina's flag. He held it in his hands, still having to make it all the way back to their flag. He eyed down Yuki, holding his team's point in his hands.
"All out? You haven't seen anything yet."
The white aura leaked out as a protective armor over his body, slowly forming around his skin." "I'll be taking the point now, it was fun playing around with you." A dark red aura surrounded his white one. It crawled up his spine as it materialized into a dragon above him, letting out a roar toward Yuki. This was Mana usage at the higher levels. "Let's see how effective your toys are against me."
Yuki began charging shots as she slid left and right not too far down the field, she shot a blast behind herself as she launched herself towards Tengoku. She charged up another shot for his mana to absorb and fired it off before sticking her foot out towards his back.
Raiden vanished with his aura leaving a mist behind as he dropped his blade, the aura was connected to the blade itself as he jumped back and stuck his hand out, the blade flying back into his palms. He dashed and clashed with Shizukana once again blade to pole, his blade had dragon markings along the sides of the hunk of metal, they glowed as his abilities were now able to be fully utilized, he spun left with precision, firing a blast of dragon flames from his blade yelling out-
"Dragon Kin: Second Blood!" He dashed towards Shizukana to follow up the attack with another smack of his blade.
All the blasts immediately vanished as they got close to Tengoku. He turned and jumped into the air, before using one of the barricades and jumping off, flying with a fore arm straight to her face, the dragon leading behind him as the force of his mana rammed her straight in her already injured face.
Shizukana spun her pole as she collided with the blast from the Dragon Kin. She jumped high into the sky before back flipping and spinning through the air, slamming the pole straight down towards Raiden's head.
However, Shizukana did not account for Kasaru, who had already moved forward, catching Shizu's pole in his hand, keeping it from striking Raiden. "Haha, i'm getting fired up!" He simply gave her a good shove backwards, not attempting to exactly attack as he weaved his way towards Yuki, needing to give Raiden more assistance.
Shizu watched Kasaru but had no time to even entertain him, she still had the ropes tied around Raiden tight. She looked on in anger at the two, her mana crawling into the entire field. "You won't be touching that flag Otizawa. This round is over."
