The girl spoke once more and Alexander truly had to wonder what kind of an idiot filled her head with that nonsense, probably someone looking to justify a murder no doubt, but that was just an idiot's claim to make them seem better. It served no purpose to view everything in Black and White, it was a limited perspective, but he wasn't going to argue with her on it especially given that she was already being fooled one way. However, the one thing that she spoke caused a slightly irritated expression to cross his features, principles of war? What did the little brat know about war? "When you are actually in a war, kid, then you can speak about the principles of war. Until then you shouldn't speak about things you don't know. If you truly understood what the principles of war were, then you would be welcoming the man onto our side, because it would be another resource that we could use. The principles of war also state that you should be morally superior against your opponents, but it looks like you are behaving just as Kemuri would."
Sure, he wasn't in a better position to speak about such things, but no one knew that except for him so he would still call her out on that crap about about having to extinguish a blemish. It seemed that this person was going to be killed by the girl simply for guilt by association which was one of the dumbest ways to try and say someone was evil. They had been told that the other people of the group had been captured, but when he showed up he was an enemy instantly? That was poor judgment and tactical/strategic thinking, if the man didn't want to fight then there was no reason to be attacking him and they should be turning him into an asset instead. So many people tried to understand war, but very few could truly see the depth that went on behind the scenes.
Carmen then asked him to help with taking the girl down and he sighed mentally, having hoped to avoid getting involved with any conflict that were to happen, but it seemed that the option for leaving was becoming less and less available to him. A more audible sigh as he had made his decision and began to discard the weighted clothing that he wore as he already knew that he would need to utilize his full power for this fight, and he would be the only one truly able to go toe to toe with the girl. He was glad that his species had the ability to increase their power exponentially otherwise this battle likely would be that much harder due to power differences. The fact that at least one was on par meant that the girl would have to focus more on his attacks, otherwise she would be getting far more injured than she would want.
With that done he closed his eyes and released his power as red markings appeared on his cheeks and moved down his body only to disappear beneath his clothes, and in the center of his forehead a red eye-like appendage appeared. It was easy to see that he wasn't actually a human, and this gave him an edge over the others, at least the ones that were here. He'd still get killed if he tried to fight the ones fighting elsewhere. Stretching out his muscles his new power was pretty powerful now and he really hoped that this girl wouldn't purposely try to piss him off, because that would not end well with his power this high. He really didn't want to have to get into the middle of all the fighting, so he would at least give the girl a warning, if she decided to attack him then he would just unleash everything he had against her.
"Stop your attack, and just settle this thing peacefully, you are far too eager to kill without understanding the true consequences of such actions. That and you're not thinking the entire situation through, especially if you consider this war," maybe she would listen to reason. Either way, he was prepared to take her down if it was necessary, she would have three opponents to deal with if she continued trying to kill the bearded drunkard. If she understood anything about tactics, she would realize the disadvantage she was in right now.

"NO WAY! I'm not backing down if you do that!" Carla yelled as Bear dropped into a defensive stance. She wheeled around and looked Alex in the eye for the first time since the fighting had begun, "I will not stop attacking people here who dare defile this place! And the man behind me is one of them! One of the evil people who hide in sheep's clothes! War is caused because we humans cannot stop our evil nature only prevent it from happening on a wide scale!"
She breathed in deeply as she glared at him wit her green eyes and noticed the red markings and a strange third eye appear on his body. She clenched her fists, thinking something might be up with the third eye, but turned her head to briefly to check on her surroundings on the look out's flat stone platform. Bear was still in his power stance while Carmen stood before with her legs spread and a charged blast churning inside her giant. One of her eyes closed and she looked just about ready to fire a sniper shell at her at any moment. It was here and now that time seemed to freeze or slow for her as Pandora questioned her motives.
Carla why exactly are we fighting these three people? Pandora questioned her in the back of her mind as Carla stood amongst the three warriors waiting for the girl to move their body as one.
You already know the answer. You gave it to me long ago. I remember killing Carmen and killing three normal people. They were criminals, but you know and I know we kunoichi work in the shadows. We kill who we are ordered to and I sense you to be the commander of my being. You made me kill those people, so whatever it is that you want I get because you and I are the same. You and I despise evil even though we are being evil right now and have been evil by not giving people fair judgement. I find us linked by the same path and because I recently accepted this fully we now have no need for those 'Swords of Kusanagi' we once carried. I have done my evil deed here and taken a prized treasure from the building nearest us and from the strongest man on Earth. Now, Kemuri, the animal that he is brings it upon himself not only to threaten the safety of the world, but also comes here to stunt the growth of warriors like myself who see the truth and attempt to stop our training. We are nothing in this world but pawns... So lead me Pandora to Hell. I'll kill the man named Bear and the other two here simply because they wish to give him a chance to explain himself, maybe even have him join forces with him. It can't be done because Kemuri took him in and gave him a taste of evil.
As you wish, I didn't think you'd be willing to commit to evil atrocities so quickly. I'll have you know, before you die, that I am not the good spirit you once maybe thought I was. Pandora chuckled as she faced the girl.
I already could tell that a little... You make me take huge risks in battle for people who may or may not matter. You make me hurt those I care about as well. Finally, what do you expect me to think when you try to force me to obtain power for you just so you can live in an unlocked state of being and sacrifice my life for perfection?
I think you'd willingly agree as you are beginning to now. Getting rid of my sealing swords was only the second step after killing your sister in cold blood. The truth about me is I unleash evil with my full power by taking the power of a young woman and locking it away forever. I was a cold blooded murderer when I was alive I remember and I used that power not to save my clan because I wanted to but because the other clans surrounding me annoyed me, harassed me into fighting them, and sought to kill me because I was a decent warrior. To get them off my backs I went to Anim, the goddess at Five Elements Mountain, to make sure I had the power to deal with them. The magic wind swords that I stole from her, 'Kusanagi' worked for a while, but soon brought me in sight of stronger opponents demons, monsters, etc. I killed them to protect myself and my annoying clan, but it was because of this that I let my guard down against normal humans and got shot. I only survived that thanks to the connection with the Muzai clan I met up with during my journeys. One of them, I'm not sure which, had a significant hand in teaching me to seal myself inside my own weapon. Thus allowing me to survive. I cast a second spell on a human from my clan, after I convinced them that I was a good warrior shot down in my prime while taking down threats of the world, only so that they would be the only one to remember little old me. That way I could fade from history and become what you're becoming now.
But I'm not feeling any different in terms of strength? Carla told Pandora.
You're not supposed to yet, but I suspect after they kill you here now you will be much stronger.
And then? Carla pondered.
If you are strong enough, maybe, just maybe I can take revenge against the world and show you true power after we escape the depths of Hell you want me to send you to. Pandora answered before smiling at her host.
At any point and time between this talk between them Carmen could take her shot if wanted to. Carla's aura continued to flare around her though so the red ki gushing out of her skin could likely block a shot if minimally. It wasn't really effective in stopping bullets from that girl Carla knew. So she exited her own mind and focused back on the real world, her trance lifted, she took a moment to turn her head back to Alexander and focus on him. Taking a step towards him her large bosom bounced beneath the folds of her flowery green kimono and she raised two fingers at him and pointed her right arm out straight at him.
"Dodon Ray! Dodon Ray! Dodon Ray!" she cried three times as she formed three consecutive red energy beams and fired them from the tips of her fingers at him. Her arm pointed directly at his heart, so she hoped at least one might be able to graze his chest as they came at him one after the other. Carla panted as the beams flew through the air, feeling a great deal of power leave through her limbs, it was great to have such a move but she could already feel it was taxing after using it the seventh time in her life. Luckily for her, the beams had the power to blast the opponent at a rate of 65,000 power. How would anyone, especially this Alexander guy survive it? It was kind of bad she could not charge the three blasts more, but she felt that if she did her fingers or hand might fall off or explode themselves.
Carla could only ponder this as she smiled wickedly and waited for a split second for all three beams to explode at once. Explosions were the coolest thing to watch, especially with this technique, since Kami's lovely ability only required one to have two fingers to use. She hoped this man Alexander did not have the tenacity to survive because Carla was just getting used to her evil personality.

Carmen seemed to be fed up with Carla's nonsense, as a rifle of energy formed in her hands, barrel pointed straight at the other girl. Though it seemed such a rifle was the least of the girls worries as she argued her point. The man who stood near Carmen grew tired, and finally found his voice, question what the girl exactly knew about war. Bear had already drew the same conclusion as the man: absolutely nothing.
However, he stepped forwards and his energy exploded, markings appearing under his eyes at first, traveling down his body. Bear's first impression of him had been correct, he was not of this planet. A brow rose in question for a second, but was dropped as Carla began shouting once again. Even with this man's new found power, the girl was unwavered. Bear almost admired her for such bullheadedness. He too shared that trait. But there was no time for that now.
Again the girl pointed two steady fingers at a target, however this time the other man was on the other end. Shouting her attack's name three times, she would first three blasts much like the first she'd fired at Bear. But Bear had been waiting for such a chance. As soon as the first blast left the girl's fingers, Bear would charge towards her, fist drawn back with yet another Drunken Fury attack at the ready. Though his speed would not be enough to stop her attacks, he hoped the access of energy she put off would leave her vulnerable for the second it took to near her and attack.
His fist would be aimed at her side, the attack release at the same time as the punch would connect, however if she somehow avoided, he would be left vulnerable as his attack would still be released. The strategy was the best he could come up with in such a pinch. Hopefully, he thought to himself as he charged towards her, It will be enough.

“Gyaaaaah”
It was a long noise, higher than Kit had ever registered before. His eye had only felt minor irritation before and frankly the warrior had never thought to imagine the pain of someone’s finger in his eye socket. His limbs that were not help down gripped at the ground, his right hand finding the nearby debris and gripping it in a futile attempt to squeeze out the agony. His knee bent, though only slightly as the pain from Kemuri’s still well placed sword added to the anguish. Kemuri knew how much this hurt them man, even before he had screamed out. He must have, as he made a point to keep his thumb in the socket longer than it was necessary to blind the warrior. His throat burned, and yet his broken screaming continued. Though before the bastard could remove his thumb from the socket of his enemy, Kit remembered his purpose. He remembered what he had challenged the beast for to begin with. Truly Kemuri had not been lying when he said he would torment the boy as long as he saw fit, and he proved this further by sliding his callous thumb nail down his cheek and through to his mouth. (I reposted this because your fight is close enough that the scream would undeniably be heard from your location. This may effect your posts if you choose to perceive it.)

Post by Carmen on Sept 22, 2014 20:19:14 GMT -5
Thankfully Alexander chose to aid her, the Makaio unsure if he was actually willing to enter combat for her sake. He didn’t seem to be a coward, but he had made it clear he did not wish to get involved in any fighting earlier, and she had agreed. The arrival of her friends had changed this though, the shirtless man needing her help if he was to survive against the crazy woman. Why were all the woman around her so unbalanced? Every single one of them seemed to have their own random objectives and outbursts of anger. Carmen wasn’t exactly the exception to the rule, but it was so hard to look at yourself with such eyes wasn’t it? As far as she could tell she was trying to help a friend, Carla was just looking to induce pain in others. The pink haired girl was no hero; there was no denying that, yet that didn’t mean she was inherently evil.
Charging more energy into her rifle she could sense Alexander powering up near her. Unluckily for him that drew Carla’s attention away from Bear, three quick blasts directed at him with shouts as his only warning. Even as she was preparing her own attack she was able to sense the power within them, each one of them more than she was able to handle in terms of hits. He was tough though and she had every confidence that he was going to be all right. Her focus remained through the scope of her gun, keeping Carla in the crosshair the entire time. Even as a scream rang off to the side, one that was full of pain and anguish. She was glad whatever was happening to whoever it was, was not happening to her.
The slight pause causes her to miss her first chance to fire as the shirtless man charges in. Clicking her tongue in aggravation she watches as he strikes at the girl, Carla no doubt a little winded after releasing the trio of powerful blasts. Biding her time she follows the combat through her scope, watching as Bear tries to strike the girl. When the time, when Bear was slightly out of the way she fires. Her accuracy was spot on no matter what she was shooting at and she does not fire until she has the shot. Aiming carefully she aims just to the right of Bear and under where his arm was about to be. Unless something disastrous happened she would hit her mark, Bear most likely safe from her shot.

Well, he had tried to do things the nice way and offered the girl a chance to surrender even, what does she do with the opportunity? She tried to attack him, and not just with any old attacks mind you, he could sense power in these things, add to the fact that she just aimed for his heart with all three? That led to Alexander becoming angry, generally something one wanted to avoid with him, especially without realizing just what type of person they were dealing with here. Without even much thought being put into it, the moment the three attacks were launched towards him, he dropped straight down to the ground under the paths of the blasts it took concentration but he had watched where she aimed in order to avoid the attack. This was what he had meant, because the girl had shouted out the name of her attack, she had allowed him ample time to prepare his body to react to the attacks. He had been apart of more wars than he could count over his five hundred year lifespan, that experience allowed him to better react to situations faster, the other thing he had experience with from wars was how to be exceptionally brutal.
Lifting himself up from the ground, he didn't hesitate to rush forward into the fray and with his own power being in range of the woman's he could close the gap rather quickly between them concentrating all of his muscles into a single attack. This was one of his most effective moves, simply because Ki played no part in how strong this attack was, it was purely his physical power being unleashed. He had made sure that he wasn't in either of the others way when he attacked, the advantage of such a higher power level was you tended to be able to see slower people and take a guess at their aims. This only worked with people below a certain point, but it made collaborating much easier for him without needing to speak.
Inches from the girl he launched his fist aimed for her stomach trying to make her double over from the pain, and if it worked there would be more to come, if not he could always try something else. Plus his attack might be enough of a distraction to let the other two hit the girl instead, and if they could start to weaken her up then he would be able to hit her with bigger attacks. This was one of the main downsides for fighting against multiple opponents and if you didn't have the training to deal with constantly shifting parameters then you were going to wind up getting hurt. The way this girl seemed to act, he doubted that she had much experience with ever shifting parameters and that would be a serious disadvantage. Hopefully, the other two would be able to capitalize on any moments of distraction that he could create, or perhaps vice versa, if the girl decided to take her attention off of Alexander for too long she would find herself taking more damage.
Either way, this was more seeing how long the girl would hold out, would her attention be her downfall or would she get taken down by the three people attacking her all at once, one of which was more than an equal to her. Of course, if he did get angry enough, something might happen to turn the tide even more in their favor, but he really disliked that ability and wanted to avoid it if it was possible.
(Figured I'd stop holding up the thread, if anything needs changing lemme know.)

The tension in Carla's body increased after she fired off her three Dodon Rays. She felt her supple muscles tighten as she watched the beams zoom over Alexander's head and explode off towards the other end of the Look Out harmlessly. Her mind only focused on him as he took the moment to lift up his body off the ground and charge into her personal space space with a drawn fist. "That's going to be a mistake..." she thought to herself as she glared at him with her green eyes, "...sure my body is stiff after that but..."
Carla pay attention! Pandora voiced to her charge. You need to understand you're fighting. You need to move! Force your body to do so!
Carla blocked the woman out of her head. She knew she could not focus on Alexander alone in this fight, but she wanted to. Both he and Bear had mocked her best technique by docking under it like it was harmless to them. At the same time, her reaction speed was suddenly slowed because of the great tension she could feel rising up in her, especially in her arm muscles. For some reason she could not lower her arm that she had just fired with. Strangely, she could see the fist coming from Bear out of the corner of her eye in slow motion. It targeted her rib cage and came in fast, despite the difference in their powers. There was no hope for her as the poor woman stood there defenseless against two equal fighters.
"Crack!" the fist struck home and her rib cage bent like a wooden board. She tilted on her feet to one side only to receive the frontal punch from Alexander a second later. It did not help that in her moment of peril Saito's scream of “Gyaaaaah!” echoed through her ears and made her realize that none of them were doing well at all.
She slumped forward and her strength withered as the ground came up to her. "Dammit, is four shots with a Dodon Ray all I'm going to get?" she pondered as her face hit the ground. Blood spattered out of her nose and she wondered if attacking the three just trying to calm her rage was such a good idea. She was not out of juice yet, but three blows now really weakened her as she lay on the ground licking her wounds. There wasn't going to be much for the ninja assassin/technique thief left in this world if she did not take charge and start fighting better. She was acting like a push over when she should have not been.
At this point, if Carmen wanted to, as long as the two men provided her a bit more room she was clear to take a shot and kill Carla with a single bullet. Her skills would likely not be needed unless Carla managed to get up. The question though was could Carla get up? Was she just playing dead, if so why?
Carla looked up at her foes, who were likely to have stopped their attacks to witness her fall, and said, "Hee, hee! You sure hit me hard you two! Why don't you have the girl fire her bee-bee gun and finish this little charade of mine. Even if I die here I will know I've helped save the world from the likes of Bear since it's clear you all have sided with his evil and the evil that is Kemuri. The reason I know this is because I'm pretty sure Master Kami will go to his grave here with how few fighters are likely to be left. I'm pretty sure that scream we all just heard now was that blond guy's scream. It's unfortunate, but by killing me you all will lose the power of a sacred technique."
A white grin appeared on her face as she raised her head, but this grin soon became red as blood dribbled down her face. "I'm the only real student of Kaladar here and to become it I weaseled my way into the nest to take a great deal of knowledge away. Now that I have some of it I can die here peacefully and without remorse. So come on and beat me up some more you evil beings! There's no saving me!"
Carla's muscles felt heavy as she lay on the ground. She'd need at least a minute to recover, but she was pretty sure everyone here would spend that time stomping her into the ground. If she was lucky maybe they would consider her restrained and go off to fight the hyena beast and fail. Although, she doubted they would leave her loose cannon butt here. They'd finish the job. It came to her that the way she was acting was definitely more like her sister Carmen would have acted when she was live. She realized this was what it meant to take on a chaotic nature and not follow the rules. It was all very fun but now she knew it was soon to be her time to leave the earthly plane. She had used her last senzu bean in Kemuri's fight a long time ago, so it wouldn't be nice to keep waiting for a miracle to stand back up. Not unless one of them approached her and forced her to become more enraged.
She could still not believe they would rather fight to stop a monster with the help of a grizzly traitor like Bear then kill him. The man was sure to betray them more then she was now. Her only reason for doing that was so that, one, her specially earned knowledge was kept safe. And two, that she could demonstrate the possibility of what Bear might do to them all if Kemuri managed to fall. It didn't seem right, but this choice she made was hers now to go through with. Death was what she had promised herself in the next fight against Kemuri or her goons. That is if it meant saving the rest of them. Maybe by watching her they could learn a thing or two of the monster's madness, or more likely waste their time with a threat they needn't have confronted in the first place. Whatever they chose now was up to them. Kill or let live this sorry girl turned woman in the face of danger.

"You're wrong"
His voice was deep and likely unexpected. He had approached the three nearly undetected, his aura suppressed as to not draw attention to himself. Not that he had wanted to sneak up on the pack, but rather that he would hate to incur the wrath of Kemuri once more. Finding out his kill was actually alive may just set him on a rampage against the warrior. It was better he not power up, besides, this was not a fight. It was childs play. The warriors all appeared frazzled. Carmen and Alex, though Saito hardly knew them, did seem a mite confused, apprehensive of how to proceed. They had protected the bearish creature and in the process downed Carla who was now seething with misguided steam. Her words were genuine, which was unfortunate. It meant she truly believed the nonsense coming from her lips. Saito spoke, gripping the mutts sword in his right hand, the blood from his own kneecap still dripping from the tip of it.
"I have known this lookout only a day and already I can feel its kindness. I can feel its gentle and forgiving nature. This is a sacred battle ground tainted by evil. Tainted by greed, as Anri approached and fell in search of the mighty coin. Tainted by pride as the bastard Kemuri continues his assault. Tainted by envy from the plated heroin facing our own. Her jealousy for Popo drove her mad. But worse yet, this battleground is tainted by wrath. An unforgiving wrath that demands blood. Even more disdainful is the embodiment of this wrath, a child"
Carla was just that. Even in her transformed state, which admittedly appeared much older than she had only an hour ago when all the fighting had started. She was a child, and her attitude had swollen her sense of duty into a disgusting path for blood. She was not looking out for justice, but rather seeking to use her new found power as a toy. She wanted to use it for a desperate purpose, one not deserving of the Crane name. His tone was no longer understanding, now it was filled with disgust.
"You use the symbol of the all mighty crane to attack a man who has surrendered. You dare to defile it with your childish doctrine of greater good. Anri died for the greater good. I lost my left eye for the greater good. You wasted everyones time. You spent the last hour playing a game, one that you cannot even fathom. But I tell you this child, your game is up. No one is going to kill you, but you will not serve as my God. If Kaladar is as everyone says, the Kami of our Earth, a guardian among men and living souls, a God to us all, then I ask you. Where is he?"
To their left was the combat. Kaladar facing off against the demon Kemuri. The two appeared evenly matched. Even after Saito had attacked him with all of his force, it had left but a mosquito's imprint on him. The two fought a glorious battle, and one that was long in the works. Though it was unfair. Truly it was. Their God fighting a creature of such vile creation. He should never have been forced into combat. A sensei was meant to train and allow his students the chance to grow and learn. Yet here he was, fighting for his life while his only living student attacked a begging man.
"You do not deserve the title of his student. You do not deserve the honor of that energy that you so carelessly flaunt. The Dodon-pa is more than a blast of energy. It is a work of art. And I promise you this that if I ever see you use it again so carelessly I will personally deal out the punishment. You will show it and your master a little respect! He fights for us now, and we stand around like sheep, gawking at each other in some vein attempt to feel helpful. I say to each of you that it is time to end this pointless squable. Let us advance on Kemuri. Show him your greatest attack. If we all attack at once, each of us charging to perfection, the beast will surely fall."
He turned his attention to the hairy creature. His left eye shut intently. Though it was no longer bleeding, the dried red that ran down his cheek was surely menacing. He certainly wasn't threatening the man, but he would without a doubt mean every word he said.
"I accept your surrender. Now prove your loyalty. Carla will no longer be fighting you. Join me in one final assault against the Bastard"
He turned to Alex and Carmen, his body standing solidly in force against the wind that had picked up from the mighty aura's surrounding them. His chest still showed the circular scarring on his left shoulder, as well as the dried blood that had poured down his chest and through his neck and even pants.
"This is not your fight. Though I would ask that the two of you help. Alone we are nothing against him, but together we can win. Together he stands no chance."
Finally he looked down at the girl he had so thoroughly assaulted with his words.
"This is your chance to use that technique for its true purpose. Raise it one last time. Redeem what dignity you can and attack the man who deserves it most."
He turned back to face away from them. He was looking at Kemuri now. His index finger itched, begging for the release of his signature style. Kemuri had batted away his spirit gun as though it were nothing. The beast would learn soon that it was not an attack to be triffled with. He allowed a few seconds for his speech to set in with the fighters and then spoke his last words.
"So, who will risk their lives for their Kami? Who will announce their presence with valor? Who will join me in one final...ultimate attack?"

This was all getting so complicated! The whole scene on the Lookout was going from unorganized to chaos. Even as she charged her weapon she felt Anri's signature wink out. A frown came to her lips as it vanished, one of her friends no more. Although she had only met him one time before that, but they had spent a full day together. Focusing back on Carla through her scope the small pink haired girl vowed she would see her friend again one day. Right now she needed to focus on protecting her other one. Alexander was really the only one she had left, her friend deftly ducking under the powerful blasts that Carla sent his way.
Honestly, she didn't understand this woman's motivation to continue fighting. All of them had given her a chance to just back down and end the combat, yet she refused. Pouring energy into her weapon she watches as Bear's fist connects with her, leaving her well open for Carmen's shot. Pulling the trigger she fire just as Alexander lunges it from the side. She had not realized how fast he was! Already having pulled the trigger she couldn't reverse the shot. Her blast did not hit either of the males, but her friends punch dropped Carla to the floor so the shot soared right past her. Looking up from her scope she stops her foot in frustration.
"Damn it!" With the girl still rambling on the ground Carmen was more than ready to fire another shot when Kit's plea reached her ears. Glancing over she saw that the old man of the Lookout was engaged with Kemuri. How had that happened? She really needed to pay attention more. Eyes shifting back to Kit she doesn't seem that interested in helping him, the idea of targeting a strong foe not really worth the risk in her mind. She cared little for the Lookout or the old man so why risk her own life to help? Kit's current condition only strengthened that belief. Not used to so many big decisions all at once she differs to Alexander.
"What do we do Alex? Kill her, help him or get out of this place?" More ki starting to pour back into her rifle incase she did need it as two of their options would call for it.
Charge 1
(Sorry for the icky post, typing on my phone is horrible! As for Bear sorry to skip yah, but we need to mosey along. Feel free to jump back in at any time! Everyone else just follow the same posting order.)

When Carla had been downed by the combined efforts of him and the alcohol-reeking warrior, although he had caused Carmen to miss and sent a apologetic look towards her, he was just about ready to finish the job when some new fool decided to join in on the fun. Going on about how this 'sacred' place had been tainted by greed, pride, and whatever other crap he was spouting Alexander honestly wasn't interested in someone trying to act high and mighty. He let out a sigh as the guy just went on and on about his own beliefs, as if anyone should care, even going on about how a technique was 'all mighty' which the wording caused him to laugh at that phrase, that he truly thought a technique could be that. Then he went on to describe it as art, and Alexander shook his head, this was just another kid that held silly beliefs about things, even believing that everything that had been done here had been for the greater good. What a load of horseshit that was, greater good? Whose greater good? Especially with what he had felt with the battle between the two, it was a slaughter, and they were supposed to be the good guys? They certainly acted a lot more like bad guys than they seemed to realize, he wondered how long it would take for them to corrupt their own beliefs into something just as bad as Kemuri was to them.
Carmen asked them what they were going to do, and he motioned with his head that they were leaving, he'd had enough of these people that were full of stupid ideas. He had grown tired of dealing with fools like them over the years, and he wasn't going to do so anymore especially with a fool that had just admitted to announcing his with 'valor'. That was just the dumbest thing that he had said, and it sealed the deal that he needed to get away from them with their fool ideas about fighting, none of them understood even the simplest of things about truly battling. Announcing their presence and attacking someone wasn't valorous, it was just plain stupid, if they announced their presence they would just be killed and their was no valor in dying a fool's death.
"Sorry, kid. I've heard those words so many times that they've lost all meaning, you want to pretend there's a reason for valor here be my guest. The sad thing is, the people on either side aren't all that different from each other. You'll probably come up with some excuse for why it isn't the case, but I don't care anymore, so I'm done here. You all can do whatever you want to each other," he shrugged. Turning he began to walk towards the edge of the Lookout to leave, he'd had enough of the hypocritical ways of the people here, they tried to act like they were better but the truth was they weren't all that different. He would have no part of either side, he would do what he wanted and let what comes of it happen.
He would wait a few minutes for Carmen to decide what she wanted to do, letting her decide for herself, before he would jump from the ledge using his bukujutsu to leave the area for good. Then he would start dealing with things in his own way, slowly building from the ground up his own plans for the future.
(Blah, crap post. Also exiting, pl please.)

Can't move... Carla thought to herself as she lay on the floor and was lectured by her enemies.
The man with blond hair, and now only one blue eye, sounded like he wanted to deal with her grossly misplaced mindset. Yet went into a long rant about their need to fight the true enemy Kemuri. No one seemed to buy it as the man named Alexander literally shot down Saito's words and left the place. Bear was yet to move and Carmen was still undecided on the matter, even though she was decided on killing Carla thanks to the big gun Carla could feel pointing at her chest.
This is what you get for going overboard. Pandora chided as the energy of her fellow trainee grew. The pink ball of power, as Carla stared up with her green eyes at it, looked close to the size of her head and ready to take her out in shot if needby.
"You're all making a mistake!" she cried, "We don't need to just kill Kemuri. We must kill Bear and that woman in the armor too! Please! Evil is evil you all can understand that right? If Bear was with them then he clearly must be evil and those that defend him have to be evil too since they're protecting someone who's made a terrible choice! Don't make the wrong decision! Kill Kemuri if you must but destroy Bear too! All his survival will do is allow him to betray us or abandon us as that one man Brandon did!"
No matter how much Carla complained the fact of the matter was that she was defeated. Carmen was about to take her life in a matter of mere moments, even though her first shot had missed. If Carla did not regain her will to fight (which she seemed to have completely lost at this moment) she was going to die. Saito was hell bent on killing Kemuri even though it was clear that by himself he was no match for the monster that had taken his eye. Now though he had a few more allies on his side at least in the form of Kami and Mr. Popo. Although their fate in Carla's eyes was unclear and did not matter to her. She only wanted to live through the ordeal she'd forced on herself and right now there seemed to be no exit for her. Not unless she could rise to her feet, which she could not due to the lack of energy in her limbs.
(Carmen, feel free to take Carla out of the picture.)

Clearly he was dealing with children. The first child seemed unable to comprehend the situation at hand. She was confused, turning to the male among them for support. He had given the final word, and it appeared everyone was accepting of it. Bear stood in silence, while Carmen and Alexander appeared to be leaving. His heart filled with a new resentment. He hated Kemuri, yet here he held similar contempt for the naive warriors before them. Had this all been a game? He attempted to see their reasoning, yet none came. Why had they been on the lookout to begin with? If they knew they had no intention of standing in its defense, why had they chosen to come? Leeches perhaps, sucking the power they could and leaving when it ceased to suit their means. Saito had seen them before, they were common in the world of martial arts. No loyalty for anyone but themselves.
Of course he couldn't blame them entirely. Kemuri was a force unlike anything he had ever seen before, and asking someone to fight against him surely sounded difficult, and even suicidal. Their surprising unwillingness to help shook his own resolve momentarily. The thought of returning to combat with the beast sending a chill through the nerves of his spine. His own loyalty would be tested now. He had thought of a plan, and now it seemed that plan would never happen. Carmen and Alex were convinced they would die if they stepped forward to help and were now leaving. Bear had been too silent, but he had claimed loyalty already. Perhaps he simply needed a nudge in the right direction. If Saito did choose to return to the battle against Kemuri, surely bear would follow. If only the one, he would have an ally.
That only left Carla. She was the most childish of all. Reminicent of his teenage sisters, she dramatically begged for Bear's head. Where her mind had gotten this unbelievable propaganda was beyond Saito. He couldn't imagine Kaladar speaking so callously about the lives of others, and he certainly wouldn't suspect Popo of it. It appeared as though the girl were truly mentally deranged. It was ironic, in that she was begging for Saito and the others to kill the dangerous people on the lookout, and at the moment she ranked in the top tier. She was easily the second most dangerous warrior on the lookout. If not Azazel. This painful irony was not lost on him. That his enemies had shown more mercy this day than his allies. Popo yet lived after his combat with the armored woman, and Anri did not. Bear had surrendered and was still being attacked. If it weren't for Kemuri's truly evil demeanor Saito may have suspected he was fighting for the wrong side.
He noted the gun, the weapon that could end it all, and placed himself between it and the target. His back entirely blocking the core of Carla. She was small enough that he could easily cover her simply by crouching over where she lay. Carmen would have to shoot through Saito in order to kill Carla, and that was something he was willing to risk. His training had involved bullets, and after his bout with Kemuri he doubted anyone standing before him would truly be willing to tangle with him. No, this was over. Reaching his right hand out to the girl who still desperately tried to stand, he whispered to her gently. Though it was a whisper, the wind carried his words to the few standing around the scene so they would hear it clearly.
"No one else dies this day child. Now sleep."
His hand on her shoulder had not been one of reassurance, but of disorientation. After his words his index and thumb squeezed together in a single swift pressure. Any starter martial artist was taught the points at which a human body was most vulnerable. Had Carla been in better shape perhaps saito would have had to put more effort into subduing her. But from her stressed nearly vegetable like state, she was a simple target for it. The pressure had no way of killing her, it was after all the nerves in her shoulder he had targeted. It was possible she would feel a slight pain, but the sleep would hit her nearly instantly after that. Carla needn't be awake any longer, especially not to further antagonize the people so willing to kill her. He would wait until he was certain she was unconscious before guiding her shoulder back down to the ground, and turning his head to face Carmen, assuming she had not already left with Alexander, abandoning her plans for murder.
"I've got her under control. Go with your friend."
His voice was sympathetic. He had thought to say something more vindictive. He heard the words of his father ringing in his ears, and yet he couldn't bring himself to hate them. The longer he lingered her the more the realization that they were children touched his heart, especially as the brat Carla become unconscious. She looked much more peaceful sleeping than she had been awake. Surely Carmen wouldn't provoke it further. She too was just looking for guidance, and Alex had offered her an out. They both knew Saito would fight them over this, but he too wasn't looking for anymore blood shed. It was time to leave things alone. This entire fight had been pointless, and Kit wouldn't have any more of it.

Alexander was leaving, it was clear he had no intentions of taking part in the fight that was so far beyond them. Still gathering energy into her rifle she looks over to him as a small smile forms on her lips. He was obviously waiting for her, the way he stood on the edge of the Lookout making her feel a little better after losing Anri. One friend had been taken from her, but another most definitely remained. Letting the energy dissipate from her weapon, the tip slowly losing the pink glow it had accumulated, she allows the barrel to dip towards the floor. With a sigh she then hefts it up onto her shoulders, the large weapon draped across them as she looks back to Kit as he lets her know it’s okay to leave. (Not like she wouldn’t have any way!)
”Thank you Mister! It looks like we are leaving.” Her smile grew wider to show that there were no hard feelings before she turns to Bear. ”As for your drunky, feel free to come to find us if yah want. I am sure the three of us can work well together!”
Rifle still across her shoulders she heads for the edge where Alexander stood. Giving him a slight nod she chuckles some as he leaps from the Lookout, taking to the air as he heads to the Earth below. Not able to fly herself Carmen was not worried about keeping up, a trick Anri had shown here was going to work just fine for this. With her weapon fading from view she turns and just drops backwards, falling right off of the edge. If the others were still looking at her the last thing they would see is the pink haired girl still smiling as she disappears beyond the lip of the Lookout, plummeting to the ground below.
