This is a 1 v 2 fight between me and DS4. No one else may join, at least for right now. This RP will have no effect on character story line and takes place outside of said story line.

Osutin Shiori was new to these lands, having only arrived three days past. Currently, he was standing on a rock ledge looking threw a spyglass at the mainland. Dressed in black boots, brown long pants, a white top covered by a large, hooded traveling cloak, the only thing that gave him away as being from another land was the arm band he wore on his upper arm. It was under his shirt and out of sight, but it was white with a strange symbol on it that stood for the number 7 in his land. Behind him was a traveling merchant's cart, as that was what he was posing as while he spied on this country. In truth, he was sent here on a mission from his homeland, he refuses to speak it's name, to see if this land was a threat to it yet. From where he was standing, he could see a dock a ways off on the mainland. He could easily make the distance, but he had been rowing all day and preferred a rest. He turned and returned to his cart, placing the spyglass a rack. There was many things on this cart, but what would probably catch most peoples eye was the strange scythe that was hidden, badly, behind a rack of swords and a white and black coat that hung from the top part of the cart. The coat was open in the front and on the back was the black outline of a diamond, inside the diamond was the same number 7 symbol that was on his arm band. If asked, the scythe was a family heirloom and the symbol his crest.

With a yawn he walked past the cart to a small camp jut beyond it. He had cleared away a space so it was plain rock. He had a small tent and a pile of fire wood by it, ready to be used. He walked past the tent to a small clearing beyond it and stopped. Taking off his cloak and hanging it on a tree limb, he took a stance. Slowly, he began going threw motions and stances that flowed into one another smoothly. From a bystanders view, it would look as if he were fighting in slow motion, and seemed like he had done it many, many times before, which he had. There was no clear end for his movements as it was designed to relax ones mind, and since one might need more time than others, you could stop when you wanted or keep going and it would look natural. Osutin wasn't stressed, but this helped him organize his thoughts, and those he had many off, so he would probably keep going for hours, unless something disturbed him.

Jessa's lips twitched as Osutin introduced himself and then created a vortex of wind and flying metal. She made a Void Seal Shield all around her body to block the metal, dropping the Seal that created the copied images of her, which made them fade away as a result, though she winced every time a shard hit the Seal, as it had considerable force behind it. She raised her hand again, palm out,"Hell Seal: Holocaust Rain." she murmured calmly. A red Seal appeared in front of her and pulsed once before hailing small balls of white hot fire out toward him at rapid fire. Abruptly she felt pain, pain, pain! Her back arched and both her Seals shattered, leaving her vulnerable. She fell to her knees, gritting her teeth. What was this? If it was something that Osutin was doing, she hadn't seen him actually do anything that might cause this pain that made her want to rip out her own heart to alleviate it, somehow make it go away. The pain doubled somehow and she screamed; she couldn't help herself. Her scythe fell limply from her hand to the ground. She fell onto her side and writhed, unable to stop her body or control her movements at all.

- - - - - - - - - -

Leurgan smirked as the girl fell victim to his powers, collapsing to the ground in a haze of pain that blocked out everything. He laughed coldly, his black eyes glittering with menace. He stepped out of the cover, his two Gargoyles on either side of him,"She was getting rather annoying, don't you agree?" he said, and grinned. At the same time that he grinned, the girl screamed again and clawed at the ground like her fingers had turned into talons. The Nagrel on either side of him peeled back their lips, baring their teeth, and snarled, their black bulbous eyes gleaming with hatred at the man. "I am Leurgan, my friend. Who might you be?" he asked pleasantly, as if there wasn't a girl being tortured, basically, just a few feet away.

Leurgan's smile widened at Osutin's question,"Oh, just a small talent I have, nothing more." he assured. She screamed again when the pain tripled. His black eyes lit with delight as her spine arched up from the ground. Soon his powers will have burned away any resistance in the girl and he would be able to control her like a puppet, just as he had done with Zeke.

- - - - - - - - - -

Jessa could feel her body moving in ways that she could not control, and it scared her. But that was the least of her worries; it was the pain that made her want to die. Please, somebody, anybody, kill her! End it now with one stroke. She wanted to turn to Osutin, to beg him to kill her, anything to stop this pain! A scattered thought entered her mind; what if she could get into her True Form? The pain might be less then, and she could fight. She closed her eyes amidst the chaos of her writhing and steeled herself. Reaper's had wills of iron, her especially so because she was a Royal Reaper. That title had not been given to her, she had earned it through her training, at least in her mind. She forced her will onto her body, and blessedly she fell still, though the pain blazed on as powerfully as ever. She stood, her body shaking with every movement that she forced it to make, as if her resolve were to break at any moment. Once she was on her feet, panting from exertion, she shakily raised an arm, palm out. "Reapric Seal: True Form!" she shouted, or she thought she shouted. The Seal pulsed and then washed over her, changing her. Her skin turned grey, dry and crackly, her hair lengthened down to her feet and bleached until it was pure white, like just fallen snow, and her eyes gained a silver-white fiery halo around them. She crossed her arms over her chest as she ghosted forward, seeming to float instead of walk,"I am Jessa Hinote Karite, daughter of Kane and Reana Hinote Karite, Reapric Princess of Dedarath. Just who are you, and what did you do to me, before I pulverize you into a hundred thousand pieces of meat and scatter you on the waves of the ocean?" she snarled, her voice darker and much more menacing than it had been when she spoke with Osutin. She was relieved to notice that the pain was indeed more controllable, though still uncomfortable occasionally. The man just smiled, and the pain increased a fraction,"As I told dear Osutin here, I am Leurgan, and what I did is merely a talent of mine." he said, his black eyes glittering with menace.

Leurgan laughed at the girl, Jessa. So stubborn. His smile widened and she winced as her pain increased. "I suppose you could say it was a random act of violence. I am not an outgoing man, but sometimes....the urge to create chaos is just so beautifully powerful that I ca do nothing against it." he said. He spoke as if he were a victim, but the cold glitter of delight in his eyes at Jessa's pain was sadly disarming to the affect he wished to put off.

- - - - - - - - - -

Jessa hissed, like a snake that had been irritated one too many times. Abruptly her scythe was in her hand. She raised it and pointed it at Leurgan, her silver-white eyes gleaming coldly,"Void Seal: Stasis." she murmured. Time slowed to a near stop, allowing her to move as she wished. The drain on her strength was great, since she was already fighting great pain just to stand, but nonetheless she calmly approached the two creatures on either side of Leurgan. She stabbed them both in the heart, killing them instantly, then she slit their throats. She set the blade against Leurgan's throat, resting it just at the hollow where his neck met his chest. She allowed time to move again, shattering the Void Seal. The two creatures on either side stood still for a moment, then collapsed, blood gushing from the stab wounds in their chests and the slits to their throats. "Tell me why I should not kill you right now." she said softly, staring into his black, murderous eyes. He laughed. He actually laughed. "You can try to kill me, my darling Reaper, but I don't think it will do much. You see, I've already died once. Well, to be precise, my soul did. I've almost literally been to Hell and back again. I honestly don't know if I can die." he said, and his laughter was like the mad cackle of a hyena. Jessa scowled. "Hell Seal: Penance of Black Fire." she murmured. A black Seal appeared directly below Leurgan, another behind him, one either side, and even above him, so he was surrounded except for in front of him. "How you know I'm a Reaper is irrelevant. Tell me why I shouldn't kill you." she said again, her voice flat. He just smiled, increasing the pain that she felt. Wow, if it was becoming painful in her True Form, she probably would have keeled over in her regular form because her heart stopped from too much strain.

Leurgan's smile only widened at Jessa, though his eyes narrowed as he felt something dark and sinister happen to the man, Osutin, beyond her. He glanced in Osutin's direction just in time to see the mask appear over his face and to see him fade from sight. An instant after he saw this he dropped to the ground. Mere seconds after he dropped, Osutin spoke a word in such a demonic voice that it sent a shiver down his spine. The blast streamed toward Jessa and ripped right through her stomach like it wasn't even there. His eyes widened a bit when she didn't even flinch at the blow, only raised an eyebrow at Osutin, as if asking 'What the hell was that for?'. Leurgan made his own move. He lifted his head and smiled directly at Jessa. She gasped and clutched at her heart and neck, as if she couldn't breathe properly.

- - - - - - - - - -

Jessa made another hissing sound as she glowered at Leurgan, her body trembling from the pain of his attack and of Osutin's. Osutin's, however, she could take care of. She waved a hand over the wound in her stomach and made a Heaven Seal. It took a minute to heal everything, but soon there was no evidence that she had ever been hurt, except for a hole in her clothing and the panting of her breath. She looked at Leurgan. Should she kill him and lead him into the Ninth Level of Hell, where only the darkest spirited people went? She pursed her lips as she thought, then decided. She lifted a hand and pointed at Leurgan,"Void Seal: Death Sleep." she murmured, and a dark grey Seal appeared on his forehead. Apparently he hadn't been expecting that, because he looked surprised before his eyes rolled up into his head and he slumped to the ground. He was not dead, simply put into a deep sleep that nothing would wake him from, save for another Seal from her. The absence of the pain was bliss, and she sighed in relief, swaying a bit on her feet. She shook her head and closed her eyes, looking at the man with sympathy in her eyes. What could twist a man so much that he enjoyed destruction and pain? She sighed and looked up at Osutin, not flinching at his new appearance,"You can stop that now, Osutin." she said in a flat voice, which was actually how she normally spoke when she was in her True Form.

Jessa glowered at Osutin, muttering under her breath at her title, then glanced down at Leurgan with an expression almost like pity on her face. While he was asleep, he almost looked like a young boy that had been seriously misled or hurt in his life. She sighed and rubbed her temples,"I don't know. No one is born evil; the God's wouldn't be so cruel as to make a newborn soul so dark and twisted. Something happened to him that made him this way." she murmured, more to herself than to Osutin. She pursed her lips,"I would be willing to bet it had something to do with that ability of his. If my powers are shunned, and I'm an outsider of this land, then him being a resident and having such a threatening ability must have made him an outsider in his own home." she said. Her tone was almost sad. "The anger and betrayal, the bitterness, must have been strong for one so young." She pulled her fingers through Leurgan's white hair as if soothing or comforting him.

OOC:
If you like, Osutin can call Jessa 'princess', just to annoy her.lol

Leurgan hissed with distaste, barely flinching at all at the appearance of a dagger,"My name is Leurgan, since it appears you didn't hear me before, and I was born with this ability." he snarled, then smiled chillingly. Since he didn't know that Osu actually had three souls inhabiting his body, he didn't know which one to aim for or how. But the first go he tried, he managed to catch Osu's Zanpakto soul. She would feel as if her soul had been turned into liquid fire, and there was no way for her to escape it.

- - - - - - - - - -

Zeke growled under his breath as he beat his wings in the silence. Why the heck was he coming out here again? Ah, right, because he had felt someone that he knew was in trouble. He huffed and lit his eyes so he could see. He tilted his head when he saw a twoleg hanging upside down. He angled his wings and banked toward...her?

Leurgan was brought up short when Osutin didn't react. He grit his teeth and tried again. This time it would be Osu's inner hollow that he targeted,"You have no idea of what I've been through." he snarled.

- - - - - - - - - -

Zeke backwinged and landed beside the twoleg. She flinched and she opened her eyes, but by the way her eyes were dilated she couldn't see a thing. He brushed against her mind. Calm little one, I won't harm you. Who did this to you? he murmured. He heard a mental growl that would have been worthy of a dragon. A man named Osutin. I'm Jessa, by the way. she replied. He was surprised that she responded with her mind, then noticed that she was working her jaw but that her lips would not part. I am Zeke Blindscale. he said. She started. Jia's older brother? she asked. He raised an eyeridge. Yes. he murmured slowly. He saw Jessa relax. Okay. I heard Osutin head toward the opposite side of the island. he nodded and lifted his wings. Hey, what about me? she asked sharply. He grimaced. I apologize, of course, but I honestly have no idea of how to get you down without possibly hurting you or myself. This is unfamiliar magic. he rumbled. He heard the mental growl again, then she shrugged in defeat. Alright. Give Osutin a piece of my mind for me, okay? she griped. All he did was chuckle, then take flight and head toward the opposite side of the island.

Leurgan grunted as the blade pierced his shoulder, but that was the only sound he made. He looked up at Osutin with hate filled eyes,"If you had gone through half of what I have, you would want to hurt other people too." he hissed.

- - - - - - - - - -

Zeke could feel two people down there. One he knew. He tilted his head, then almost fell out of the sky when he registered the feel of the one person. Impossible. He had destroyed Leurgan's soul, sent it into oblivion to never harm another person again. He growled and, forgetting about the other man, Osutin, he pulled in his wings and dove. He slammed into the ground and stalked forward with the menace of a striking snake. What the bloody hell are you still doing alive? he snarled. Leurgan peeled back his lips in a cruel smile,"Never underestimate your enemies, my dear pet." the amethyst snorted. Call me that again. I dare you. he hissed. Leurgan remained silent. First smart decision he'd ever made.

Zeke stilled when he heard the twig snap. A growl vibrated in his chest. He had noticed that Leurgan's eyes had not wavered to him, but had stayed focused on something else. He turned and saw who he assumed to be Osutin. He stepped deliberately into Leurgan's vision, blocking his view of the other man. Pain stabbed at him viciously, a pain that he had filed away into memory only. He merely grunted in acknowledgment of the pain, then focused on the man. You must be Osutin. I found Jessa. Messing with the baby sister of a Dragon Rider; tsk tsk, not the smartest idea ever. he rumbled into Osutin's mind. Since you are evidently against Leurgan here, he sneered in contempt at the name, as if Leurgan wasn't worthy of even having a name. then you are a friend of mine. Go rescue poor Jessa before she hyperventilates from stress. She fears constriction as if it were death itself. Go, shoo; I can hear her breathing from here. he scolded, then turned his back on Osutin and focused on his greatest enemy. Why are you alive? he asked, more to himself than to Leurgan. The human bared his teeth and spat,"Because I have unfinished business with you, Zeke Blindscale." the amethyst growled softly but ignored him, waiting for Osutin and Jessa to arrive.

OOC:

Skip to 3:00 and stop at 3:06, roughly. That is what Zeke's growl sounds like. XD

Zeke grunted in approval as Osutin sent eleven swords flying toward Leurgan. He grinned as Leurgan cried out. Doesn't feel so good, does it? he said with a smirk. The pain inflicted in him increased a margin, but he ignored it.

- - - - - - - - - -

Jessa stiffened when she heard Osutin return. Her lips were still sealed shut, and there was no way she was contacting him mentally, so she simply nodded her head, then crooked an eyebrow in his general direction meaningfully.

Jessa's mouth twisted; she wasn't sure if she wanted to ask him any questions. What if he became her enemy the next time she saw him? If she knew possible personal information about him, she might not be able to deal the killing blow. She waved a hand,"No. Your business is your own. You made that apparent when you answered with 'who' you were earlier yesterday, not 'what'." she said, and winked. She spun around when she felt hard thuds vibrate the ground. She gulped when she saw Zeke for the first time, one hand automatically going for her Kusari. Don't worry, little ones. I am not here to harm you. rumbled the amethyst male as he settled down onto his stomach.

- - - - - - - - - -

Zeke swung his head around to Osutin. That piece of swine is not going anywhere; I put him to sleep. he said grimly. In his darkest thoughts, he would have loved to torture Leurgan as he had tortured his friends. But he was not a dark person. So he had put the beast to sleep and left, to avoid any bloodshed that he would come to regret later. I am Zeke Blindscale, bonded companion to Ella Whitefang. You are Osutin. Why have you decided to interrogate a member of my family? he said, and in the avalanche of his deep voice there was a subtle warning. He curled his tail discreetly around Jessa. To his credit, she only flinched but did not draw away.

At Osutin's expression and exclamation, Zeke doubled over laughing, a deep, airy sound. He slapped his knee and stood up, still chuckling a bit,"It is a Seal that Jia gave to me from Ka." he said in explanation. He lifted his palm to show it, but Jessa beat him to it,"Reapric Seal: Mirror Form." she murmured with her palm up. The grayish-red Seal appeared on her palm and pulsed. Zeke pursed his lips, trying not to smile or smirk.

- - - - - - - - - -

Jessa kept the Seal close to her body, not fully trusting Osutin,"This Seal allows the user to Change to whatever form they wish. It's easier if the form you take is similar to your true form, but it can be done for pretty much anything. I myself have never used it yet, but it has its uses." she mused, looking at the Seal herself.

Jessa was startled when she abruptly found herself up on a low branch, hung by her undergarments, with her hands bound behind her back once again. She glared at Osutin, her pupils narrowing with indignation and mischief. She pursed her lips, then whispered another Seal under her breath, so Osu could no overhear. He would find himself yanked up by his undergarments with his arms pinned at his sides. She grinned at him, her eyes twinkling. She noticed that he seemed tired, and looked at Zeke from the corner of her eye. The amethyst nodded slightly.

- - - - - - - - - -

Zeke reached his mind into Osu's, ignoring anything personal, just letting him feel strength course through him, from the mind-to-mind link. In a few moments, Osutin was at his normal energy level plus some. He chuckled softly. Feel free to pick at her more. She needs to be taken down a notch. Or two. he said, and grinned.
