The Trails of a Troubled Mind~ [PRIVATE - Mero and Utena only.]

Damascus strode up to him and looked down, "I suggest you follow the princes' command or else". Damascus was taller then the intruder so he used his height in an attempt to intimidate him.




OOC: Changing his color so there won't be any confusion

Who knew that such a weak kick like that would dent such adamant metal and send him soaring through the wall. With such power Raijin could easily induce fear in his foes, in this case the guards. They all trembled, having seen their superior officer taken out without much effort, and slowly distanced themselves away. The male who was escorted along with the prince then stepped up to the disguised Raijin, towering over him. "I suppose I'll let you in on the plan. I've already breached the royal chamber so using this false appearance is no longer necessary."

Smoke suddenly enveloped the intruder, revealing his true appearance as it cleared. A young man with shoulder length spiked hair, a black shirt with gloves, and plates of metal hanging off of his belt with numerous quivers now stood before Damascus. He was much taller than his past identity and carried weapons; a Tanto and Kusarigama. "Or else what?" A menacing glare was shot at Damascus; his crimson orbs giving off a faint glow.

Damascus glared back at the man. Though his angry and evil eyes worried him a little. The intruder really wasn't going to back down, and a fight was probably going to break out. Utena was threatening, but in her current state she wasn't going to get far. Damascus placed his hand on the hilt of his sword never softening his glare towards the intruder.

"In the world of shinobi deception is the key to eliminating those who stand in your way...." He stood perfectly still with his hand rested on his waist. Not once did he take his look off of Damascus, who stood next to him. "A girl on crutches should not interfere with our goal, especially when you are up against me. As of right now the town outside of the castle walls is being attacked by neighboring barbarians." The sound of Damascus' hand touching the hilt put Raijin on guard, "Unsheathing that sword would be a grievous fault..."

Damascus didn't take his hand off his sword, but he didn't unsheathe it either. 'My prince shall I detain this man?" He asked still with a glare in his eyes.

The girl's rant of how she could easily destroy him was beginning to bother Raijin; She was an annoyance! "Silence Utena...You may be a prince here, but to me you're nothing. Even with your magic." Using the information gathered from the guard prior to invading the castle itself he knew exactly what Utena was. "Talking with you all will get me nowhere..." In the blink of an eye Raijin was a good distance away from all the others. He was standing there, not even worrying about her threat, performing a set of hand seals very quickly. "Summoning technique! Kyuubi!" A large cloud of smoke poured out from the seal made on the ground. There was a temporary tremor as the smoke cleared and the roof of the royal chamber had collapsed. From the smoke emerged a large beast roaring and thrashing it's nine tails about.

Damascus drew out his weapon and held it in front of him. He had become enraged because this man had angered his Majesties son. "Die you monster!" Damascus charged forward and slashed at the beast with his sword.

Raijin stood atop the Kyuubi, staring over the damaged fortress while the Kyuubi raged on! Damascus started off making a terrible mistake, and that was attacking a behemoth head on. The Bijuu simply swiped at the man and swung it's tails about, crashing them into the castle.

Damascus flew backwards and into the wall in a painful manor. He had been unaware of how strong his enemies really were and now he couldn't protected his prince. He fell to the ground unconscious.

Raijin sat comfortably on the Kyuubi's head as it continued the rampage. "Come now Utena, let us see what you can do!"

I had heard some commotion from the kitchen and bid the cook goodbye. I walked to towards the noises and saw Utena. "Hey Utena whats-" I paused mid sentence and looked around. There was a man onto of a large beast with nine tails, and Damascus was laying motionless off in the corner. The walls in the room had crumbled, which I had guessed was from the beast. "What the hells going on?" I asked confused. after a moment I noticed that Utena and the man looked like they were ready to square off so I gave up on any questions and walked over to Damascus to see if he had any serious injuries.
