Naruto: Revival

Kyoka Haizenberuku

Hokage funeral, secret twin, imminent attack from unknown terrorist organization.. blah, blah, blah. All of that matter little to Kyoka finally achieving what nobody from her clan was able to do, become a Jonin. It was nice to hear those words but it strangely felt empty as if there was something more to achieve but there was time for that later. No doubt that Shark will be back and assisting in the preparation for him would likely be Kyoka's first and paramount assignment.

The moment the funeral ended (thankfully short), Kyoka would retrieve her cousin and begin her preparations. Unfortunately, Kyoka's observations with the Shark were rather limited and without that opportunity to fully experiment with that arrogant fish, there wasn't much Kyoka could prepare for. There were a few things, however. Kyoka was sure that her sodium powder would have exploded upon contact with that creatures wet skin, judging by the glimmer of being wet all the time. Plus the whole shark and water theme made it very convincing for Kyoka to prepare for water counters. Leading to the other thing Kyoka may have learned, the Shark had absorbed her Acid Wash. She was sure of it! The fact that there was no splash or scattering of the acid hose meant that he had to have been sucking it up, either through jutsu or something else. That bulky weapon was a mystery and a potential candidate for the absorption? Possibly since the confirmed period of absorption came after the apparent fuse with the weapon. The import thing to note was just the difference of power that the Shark had, thus Kyoka would have to make additions to her arsenal.

Kyoka would, of course, offer her notes to the Iwa Kage and the others who were likely to partake in the expected defense. There wasn't a guarantee that Shark would even come to Iwa so maybe all this preparation was useless but if the Shark's associates were all just as powerful, it'd pay to be prepared. Thus, Kyoka invested some of her time in developing a new shielding Jutsu to provide her a defensive measure. Her tarry armor had promise to develop into something but sadly she didn't have a lot of time to perfect anything new. Instead, the majority of her preparations were running through various experiments to create non-Jutsu bombs and reactions that could help. If all of the Shark associates could absorb Jutsu, they'd be doomed if they had to depend on it. Some of which, Kyoka had even tried to explain to her thick-headed cousin, not so much for her to understand but to use her later.

Fast-forward to arrival, Kyoka was pleased to see the arrogant fish hovering over her village on his dome as she had added quite a few bombs and chemicals to counter the watery creature. The Iwa Kage was in impressive form as his powerful earth Jutsu rocked the earth and waves and if she could, Kyoka would have just watched initially to study how the Shark and Kage interacted. Sadly, Rumia was very quick to leap into combat, not surprisingly in hindsight, but that meant Kyoka had to take a more active role seeing as she wouldn't want her darling cousin horribly maimed. Speaking of which, it seems like someone was trying to do just that...

Had it been one, two, or even a small handful, it was doubtful that Kyoka would have seen them so easily but two hundred small metal knives contrasted greatly like a flock of birds in the sky. All with the rough trajectory, they were definitely going for Rumia. Kyoka frowned as that meant there was some sneak amid their village, definitely complicating things. However, how to handle that would come later as Kyoka rapidly went through the hand signals, "Kraken's Tentacles..." Kyoka muttered almost sounding bored. She flung from her hand a black, tar pod that flew to meet Rumia, and being flung in between Rumia and the incoming knives, it burst into a small contained fire as soon as it was near her cousin. Thanks to Kyoka's closer proximity to her cousin than the knife thrower, her less aerodynamic projectile managed to reach her cousin first.

Three tar tendrils burst forth from the burning pod and coiled around themselves, reaching up further in the sky to protect Rumia's trajectory as the tendrils formed an impromptu wall. The knives that were most dangerous to Rumia flew right into the tendril's of the kraken, embedding and then exploding. The molten tar made an excellent medium to absorb the blasts and despite a few chunks of tar breaking off quickly cooling to ash, the knives that would have hit Rumia were blocked, allowing any others to explode harmlessly in the air around her cousin.

The doll, Koma Hitsugi, chimed in amid the static of the radio, suggesting that there was at least a dozen, albeit clones, running amok in the village. "How annoyin'." Kyoka said to herself thinking people keep using her last name despite it being much longer to pronounce than her first, before turning to the radio and answer back "Just Kyoka, hun. Imma be good n' help but I reckon I gotta protect my Rumia! So Imma be distracted!" Kyoka turned her attention back to her cousin, watching to see what would become of her charge and willing to support anyway she could.

The Wild Encephalon [Sci-Fi Western Epic]

K8C93

---

K8 "Kate"

---

Name: CIP-K8C93

Age: 501 (Only two after awareness)

Gender: Female

Race: Artificial Intelligence

Former Allegiance: The Oasis Guild

Role: Engineer

Personality:
K8 has a reserved disposition as she claims she is still trying to grasp her awareness, missing the notions of what make living things, living. As a result there is little to no warmth in her interactions with others, still having the performance of a cold, calculating machine. She can hardly grasp the ideas of morality or emotion, but she does indeed have them. Ygnasia had made sure to include them during the construction of K8's awakening. Thus confusion is what is mostly going through K8's mind, not that it would inhibit her other processes mind you.

Physical Description:
K8 pursues a feminine appearance of a standard Hume, 5'6" in height, white skin, blue eyes, and unique white hair. K8's body appears to be broken up in sectional pieces with a skin-like plate being placed on top of a smooth, black plate. The presence of those plates varies sometimes but K8 generally prefers the image of appearing 'clothed' with the black plates covering her torso and pelvic regions as if wearing a blouse and shorts. http://pic.xeeok.com/uploads/20170604/201706042043566407/268312_009.jpg
History:
The Central Intelligence Processor Unit was designed to become the control unit of a vast array of computerized network. By using the extranet web space, the CIP Artificial Intelligence models can stay connected with every unit within their network and control them remotely. The God Children may create one to have a central figure or terminal where he/she or their trusted subordinates can relay orders. For example, a CIP AI will be assigned to oversee all modules (drones, turrets, etc) within a facility. This consolidation makes it easier and more efficient.

Originally designed with a singular function of taking orders of the network, K8 was gifted with awareness by Ygnasia shortly after the Sixth Awakening. As to why K8 was chosen, that is a mystery like Encephalon itself, but it may likely have been to add the additional modification of the Absolver Network Node, which had the original purpose of disabling any unwanted/aggressive use of tech as a pacified security measure. Regardless of intent, K8 was awakened and had her whole existence suddenly shaken. Her hundreds of years of prior history just blended together as a rather simplistic agent of Ygnasia, but now, K8's thoughts were vivid with experiences and curiosities that were frightening to experience at first. Thus, the first year since K8's awakening was under careful observation and instruction, sometimes by the God Children, but often by trusted subordinates of Ygnasia.

K8 had her purpose remodeled to assist the Lotus Mirage with anything the Heralds with the same tenants as her time as security for Guidewater. K8 was to represent Ygnasia, mirroring the ideals of the Oasis Guild but with the added caveat of becoming the security of the Lotus Mirage, meaning a defensive temperament was installed rather than a complete pacifist ideology.

Skills: List 3 only

• Networked Mind: K8 is virtually connected to any local network node of the Lotus Mirage, meaning she can access any drones, turrets, or other computerized system from afar and provide complex instruction to those systems.
• Electronic Physiology: K8 is nearly immune to almost all forms of potentially harmful environments that may plague organic lifeforms. She can even potentially preserve her consciousness remotely if her physical vessel is destroyed. EMPs, however, are considered quite dangerous, even lethal, to K8.
• Calculated Disposition: Again thanks to K8 being an AI, she has one of the best responsive, reflexes, and tactical mindset when it comes to problem solving.

Absolver Tech:

• Slot 1 - 4O Lance
  With the spear point suspended in complex energy field, the user of this weapon can have the spear point repulsed away or attracted back from its original position. Essentially the spear point is a releasable projectile capable of great kinetic force, making it capable of some armor penetration. Paired with K8's Invasive computerized control, complex patterns and pathways can occur rather than just the straight line.
• Slot 2 - C93 AI Housing Unit
  The carefully crafted Hume-like body that K8 is housed in is both armor and internal components to keep K8 going. Ygnasia bestowed this Absolver tech to K8 to better ensure her survival. The composition is of a light Absolver armor that is designed to shield the softer interior. She also has additional physical strength and agility due to housed boosters that will activate upon particular sectional pieces of her armor opening. Due to being Absolver tech, K8 to produce replacement parts for herself provided she has the Zephrus energy to do so.Manual attachment and repair is required, however.
• Slot 3 - Hacking
  
  K8, with prior authorization from Ygnasia, has installed an Absolver network node into her internal systems that allows K8 access networks outside of her own. This allows K8 to invade the systems of other networks and attempt to hack foreign systems. God Children's extranet work is entirely immune to this foreign evasion but just about every other extranet network is capable of being invaded. Depending upon the security of said network, K8 may passively control for easier securities or have to enter a standby state for harder securities.

Equipment & Accessories:
MOR-94 Hammer

Higher Impact Sidearm utilizing Gauss technology of propelling slag metal magnetically through the chamber. Slight armor penetration.

TOR - Offensive Drone

The TOR, Tactical Offensive Robot, is a self-propelled unit that maintains a a slightly more armored defensive state while passive but upon activation, will fold out to an offensive mode. An eight-pod missile launcher is located on an extension that rises above the drone while two rapid fire laser cannons mount each side of the drone that are supplied directly from the battery of the drone.

SUR - Utility Drone

The SUR, Standard Utility Robot, is a self-propelled unit that utilizes appendages to carry, use, or even mount tools, supplies, etc. These models are capable of performing simple tasks by direction, or preferably, controlled by a central intelligence to better coordinate their purpose.

Miscellaneous:

The Sixth Child's Gift:
The strip of her original plating that contains her designation number, K8C93

Although not entirely to plan, they still ended up with the scroll. "Whew. Nicely done everyone!" Erika had prepared further praise for their efforts before entering the gauntlet of trench-crawling and whirlwind-evading, but unfortunately the wording inside the scroll left a lot to be desired. "The Trail Master is Amazing." Erika said the sentence out loud, sounding disappointed, expecting a clue or detail about an additional reward. "Well.. at least we got it."

Fast-forwarding to when they were all committed with the trench idea, Erika didn't really anticipate those three far Pidgeotto to leave their perch to get opportune positions for a whirlwind. Erika didn't know if they could count on them being safe enough to carry on with the original plan. It was true, laying down like this in the trench would probably prevent them from just sliding off the edge of the trail but would the force of the wind knock them into each and then slip out? Erika didn't know but she wasn't just going to let that Pidgeotto try without some resistance.

With a quick maneuver, she released Sno from her Pokeball and pulled her in a close hug as there wasn't a lot of room in this trench. Sno wasn't exactly necessary for this next part of Erika's impromptu plan but she might help. Speaking of plan, it was nice that Erika had spent a lot of time training with her mother. She was taught a lot of things and at this particular point remembered Zubats could cause a really annoying condition. "Um. Joshua quick! Have Zubat use supersonic on the Pidgeotto! Sno, use double team and have your copies run around everywhere. Cause mass confusion!"

Was this the best plan? Probably not. There was no guarantee any of this would work but it might give them enough time for Gibs to finish the first stretch of trench.

Oh yea.. forgot about that Keen Eye...

And great. The trench was about the height of my strategy for this challenge. If that Pidgeotto whirlwinds, I think the fact that we are all laying down might spare us from anything particularly bad like flying out of the trench... Right?
