Ikaku growled back violently at the monster as it leapt up and started to swing at him, aiming at his head once more. Ikaku jumped back slightly as a sudden blur of motion caused the monster to reel back from its swipe. Ikaku looked at the man that had caused the thing to crash down. Ikaku simply nodded, unwilling to actually make contact with this strange man. A sudden flash and shout from behind resounded out before an ear shattering scream ‘[I]Hibiki?[/I]’ was the only thought that ran through his head as he continued to move back from the monster, the adrenaline of the attack slowly leaving his body. His eyes slowly began to flutter shut behind the grim visage of the pure black mask, but he could still clearly see everything around him. His mind reeled suddenly from the visions he could see behind his eyelids. He could small arms pulling back a bow string to fire off an arrow, powerful force sending the monster toppling back to the ground, scythes flashing, swords flaring with unnatural energy, a man that smelled atrocious, and eyes hidden behind tinted glass of a car simply watching. 

‘[i]This is your strength…the ability to see all…the ability to alter the sense of vision[/i]’ A small voice in the back of his head whispered softly. 

Ikaku’s eyes suddenly snapped open, his mind flooding with knowledge from an unknown source “everyone, together” His voice came out in a more commanding tone than he had anticipated, his fingers clenched tightly into fists. “Heigan…” He muttered gently, his left gauntlet opened at his command. The green eye that was hidden underneath the metal plate flashed gently as Ikaku raised that arm to point at the woman wielding a scythe “Split.” The woman became fuzzy around the edges before multiple copies of her appearance shot from her body. The monster cocked its head at this, an almost purr escaping from its deformed mouth. Its ‘lips’ then curled into a sinister taunting grin before it mimicked Ikaku’s movements and blurred around the edges. Ikaku and his group were suddenly surrounded by multiple copies of the original monster. They all curled their lips in unison, its grin a scar that split its face. With a strangled roar they threw themselves at the group.
