Rakasha was gaining the upper hand with Takeshi, knocking him onto his back, When suddenly he felt massive pain in his leg, and gravity pushing him away. He caught himself with his tentacles so he didn’t fall over, but as he fell back he noticed Sky defender coming at him, He pulled his tentacles back, wincing as he placed pressure on his foot and blocked her attack meant for his back. 

It glanced though, and cut through his arm, cutting off the tendon and rendering his left arm useless. He grunted in pain and fell to his knees, his ankle giving out as well. He looked over to Takeshi who was getting back up slowly, He looked over to Reina who was also on the ground from slide tackling him. He grunted and lifted his right knee to try and get up, but his left ankle was too painful still. 

This was the only reason he let Aurelia so close with her sword pointed at his chin. Acting all high and mighty like she defeated him...just came in on the coat tails and took Takeshi’s moment. 

She told him to give up, that he was defeated. His eyes burned with defiance and hate as he left his sword on the ground and lifted his hand to the wraps on his face, yanking it down. He spat blood from his mouth on her shoes. 

He then ripped his wraps off with ease, with all the cuts they received in battle they were practically falling off. [color=0054a6]“Don't get cocky...I was already dead, Before Reaper sealed the deal…”[/color] He said as he touched his wound Takeshi gave him. Aurelia, Reina and Takeshi could see sores that covered his body, along with an insane amount of scars. Takeshi knew what the sores were...cancer. He was dying for the past two years. 

[color=0054a6]“Don’t think you stand a chance because you defeated me… I was fighting you with only a quarter of my original strength…”[/color] He coughed up some more blood. He looekd to Takeshi and grinned.[color=0054a6] “It was good to see the Reaper again. You’ve gotten stronger...thats for sure. But, You can never escape being a killer Takeshi…My death proves it….”[/color] As he spoke two of his tentacles, looking like they were simply falling back to the earth, slowly pulled back into his body, one around his leg, and the other sliding down the back of his worthless arm, hidden from their view. 

Takeshi only narrowed his eyes, it was true...he reverted to his training and aimed to kill Takumi. He was a killer...but he did it to protect Reina. However, he did see the tentacles moving to his leg. Takeshi pushed himself to lunge at Aurelia. 

Looking to Aurelia once again, he smiled wickedly. [color=0054a6]“I’M RAKASHA!”[/color] Two more tentacles exploded from his back, making the count six now, while the two that wrapped around his arm and leg snapped tightly to them Another knocked Auriela’s sword to the side as He gripped his sword. Another one of his tentacles shot out from behind his back aimed for her chest. 

How ever, it didn’t connect with her chest, as Takeshi managed to push her away at the last moment but feeling a sharp pain in his own chest. Rakasha continued his rallying cry. [color=0054a6]“ONE OF THE FOUR FANGS OF THE SHADOW CLAN!”[/color] He ripped out the tentacle from Takeshi’s chest and went for his neck with his own sword, while another tentacle reached out and grabbed  Riena’s leg, dragging her back towards him. [color=0054a6]“WE ARE THE NIGHT, WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER!” [/color]

Takeshi managed to block the sword strike with sheer luck with the pommel of his sword. He saw Rakasha pulling out a cylinder from his waistband. Takeshi yelled, “AURELLIA GET DOWN!” He kicked Rakasha away and dove for Riena, dropping his sword and reaching out to Rakasha’s tentacle that held her and focused, causing it to suddenly sprout spikes just a few feet from her foot, catching the ground and stopping, while he grunted to gather his shadow around his back. 

He landed in front/on top of Reina without actually landing on her, wrapping his right arm around her, and his left stump... as suddenly there was a big explosion behind them. Rakasha blew himself up, while not destructive like a pipe bomb, it was more of a napalm, quickly engulfing Rakasha in liquid flame. Last thing any of them could hear was laughing before silence..

Shortcut stopped for a moment after the dog was sliced in two. He understood the purpose of teamwork and how the military worked, yet these hero's were never in the military, and it seemed odd to watch them. Once the wolf was lifted into the air, Marge punched Shortcut in the forearm. "Hey! throw me up there!" She said while pointing with her head towards the wolf. While the plan seemed great and all, Shortcut realized the same thing that Marge did. The wolf was about to shrink, and those chains will not hold it for long. 

He gripped Marge by the back of her vest [color=007236]Gladly...[/color] He said with a chuckle. At which Marge looked at him and realized, "wai..." With the effort one would put in tossing a trash bag underhanded into a dumpster, he sent Marge launching towards the wolf. 

A sight to see...a midget with a machine gun flying through the air yelling in excitement. She landed on the wolf and rolled, like this move she just pulled was something she did every day. She instantly started running up to the head of the wolf, her gun pointed down as she unloaded her magazine as she ran. Once out she flung it over her shoulders onto her back and gripped the wolfs head. And stood there as it tried to nash at her, but just barely out of its reach. After a moment she Jumped off the wolf yelling once again. "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" A few moments later, the entire beast exploded like a real bomb, despite being just shadows. Leaving the chains dangling in the air.

She rolled to her feet and stood up as tall as she could. Proud of her work. Looking back to Shorcut as he said, [color=007236]Good job! You didn't blow up half of a block!"[/color] He laughed, as he walked over to the middle of the ally. Looking up to the skyknights. Hearing suddenly another explosion close by, he looked back at Marge who raised her hands. "Not one of mine!"
