While Taichi was distracted by Silas and Mike's melee assaults, Sasha would hope to be able to sneak around quickly in attempts to get a Sneak Attack off, drawing her Tanto and Wakizashi in the process.

Sasha Stealth: 55 - 42 Stealth - 4 Skill Bonus = 9

Taichi Observation: 24

Sasha's attempt at stealth was indeed successful. With Taichi being distracted by the large slash across his chest from Silas' Daichizan, Sasha would be able to sneak up behind Taichi and, using the Dual Wielding Skill's extra affect of using 'Dual Attack Skills', she was able to execute Daichizan with two blades, having to slash with the Wakizashi first since it was longer before moving in to slash again with the Tanto, able to do this one after another with great speed.

Wakizashi Daichizan: 57 - 32 Ban Family Sword Technique - 14 Skill Bonus + 9 Dual Wielding Penalty = 20 (Max Damage)

Tanto Daichizan: 69 - 32 Ban Family Sword Technique - 11 Skill Bonus + 9 Dual Wielding Penalty = 35 (Hit)

The first slash hit dead on, slashing right across his back. The second hit was a powerful upward slash from the dagger, digging deep into the man's back, the Sneak Attack damage being added here from the small bladed weapon. The damage from both attacks made his HP drop down to a -175, below 0 even. The attacks were bloody, blood having gotten on both of Sasha's blades and on Silas' blade.

The mage coughed up blood, the hood falling off his head as it revealed his face. He just gave a smirk, despite looking as though he was on death's door. "Con... gratulations". He coughed up blood once again. "You're now killers... blood is on your hands..." He stumbled backwards now, laughing a little. "To think these little fish would have fangs, still... its not like you didn't have help from much stronger sharks... so you're still weak... and have now stepped into a world of much..." he coughed up blood once again. "stronger predators... I hope that you... enjoyed it".

With that, the man fell over, dead. Windows appeared before each of the gamers, stating the following.

Well, for Sasha, Daichizan and Sneak Expertise leveled up. For Ominal, Mike, and Ren, the following window appeared.

Window

You've earned 20 EXP

For Sasha and Silas, a window appeared similar to that, but only half of the EXP that the first three earned was what they earned, probably because they arrived late. All of them probably would have gotten more if Touma and Nero hadn't dealt that 500 damage to the mage. The bone cage around Galkyr shattered as the space around all of them began to crack. Ren, after the cage shattered, aimed his palm at Galkyr. "Dismiss Summon". With those words, the demon dog disappeared, revealing to those who didn't know that Ren was the one who summoned that demon. After a few moments of the space cracking though, it shattered, revealing a much larger room with a desk at the end, the enforcers also in the room.

"Well... you all did pretty good". Henry walked over to them now, his staff vanishing as it turned into a ring on his finger. "Provided you all did have help, numbers, and an opponent who underestimated you, but you all still did good nonetheless".

"As for your original purpose in coming here..." Keiichi spoke up now, moving over to the desk as he began to search through it. "The answers are probably in here, the reason why the Void Wizard wanted you all to come here". He searched through the desk, searching through every part, but there were no signs of anything.

Nero walked over to it. "Let me take care of this". He put his hand on the desk, and after a few moments every compartment and hidden compartment was burst open. Nothing dropped out of the desk except for a single key, which Nero picked up. He threw it to Ren, who caught it. "The answers probably lie with that, go search around while we clean up things here". With that, Nero left the room in a cloud of black that enveloped his form before it vanished, along with him. Some form of Teleportation skill most likely, one that Ren was very interested in, before looking down at the key.

"Henry, you go with the Gamers. The rest of us will make sure there are no remaining enemies or any other secrets here". Keiichi spoke now, him, Keiko, and Touma leaving the room. Henry walked over to the gamers.

"Well, looks like we're still together for a little longer. Lets go check out that storage room, we may find something there".

Ren agreed with this plan, walking out of the room and, if the others followed, they would soon arrive at that locked room that they had bypassed before. Ren put the key into the hole and turned it, the door unlocking with a click. Henry stepped forward now, staff appearing in his hand. He opened the door now, slowly peeking in as he opened it a crack. "Alright... its all clear..." He opened the door fully, walking in.

In the storage room there were alot of crates, about a couple dozen of them, along with a bookshelf and a filing cabinet. "Ill check the cabinet..." Henry moved to the filing cabinet, opening it up as he started to rifle through it slowly.

Ren, in the meantime, moved to the bookshelf and began to scan over the shelf, using Observe every now and again.

Kingdom Hearts: Signs of Zodiac

Oner spent most of the time after the entire battle and after they got the sign meditating. There was alot to think about, plus alot to talk about. They had to talk with a certain person, so they spent the rest of their time on Sugar Rush in contact with said person. In fact, while everyone else jumped on their glider, Oner and Reno rode inside of theirs to the next world. Even after they arrived and began in conversation with Yukio they were still inside of the book. Although during the conversation, the book suddenly opened, and out from the pages arose Oner, floating out of the book and to the ground, the book disappearing once it closed.

He sighed a little heavily, rubbing his forehead for a moment before he simply listened to the conversation while looking around at the area they were in. Oner didn't really have anything to talk about at the moment, so he stayed silent for now for some odd reason.

Still need a post from Ominal and Val, but I can skip Sasha and Lucian's turns if necessary.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

Silas and Sasha both began to move quickly down the secret passage to the next hall. With the foot technique and their own base speed they were able to run pretty quickly, which they would need to do so. When they got there, the scene was indeed quite the battle, especially with what looked like some large demon dog trapped inside of some cage made of bone, the cage for some reason slashing at the dog trapped inside. None of that seemed to matter though as Silas focused his attention, and energy, on performing a high powered Daichizan on the Blank Mage.

As he ran, he tried to gather energy through his breathing, to try and power up his attack.

---

Energy Flow: 1 (Critical!)

---

Perhaps it was Silas' determination to fight, or just his own natural mental focus. But he was able to gather and flow the energy through him with ease with the Breathing Technique. As he focused to make it stronger, he would make the energy flow through him with more power and speed with each breath, having to make the breaths a bit stronger. It was clearly taking a toll on his MP, making it drain faster, but he would be able to explicitly feel more and more power moving through his entire body with each strengthened breath.

By the time he got there, the power flowing strengthened every aspect of his body, making him stronger and faster, moreso than he was before. It was simply a way to strengthen his slashes, but he felt physically augmented by whatever was happening.

This allowed him to charge forward even more quickly to attempt his high powered slash at the Blank Mage, able to close the distance a bit more quickly than normal to make the distance factor not matter as much. The attack was so fast though, that instead of trying to take advantage of the distance to dodge, he raised up his guard instead by raising up his arms.

---

Daichizan: 8 - 39 Ban Family Sword Technique - 12 Skill Bonus = -42 (Max Damage!)

Damage Dealt: 153

---

The powered blade seemed to slam into his arms, hitting some sort of tangible wall. However, the wall was so flimsily made that it was more for just slowing the blade slightly, managing to stop a tiny bit of the incredibly powerful slash to lower the damage, the man letting out a loud cry as the blade still managed to slash across his torso as the power of the slash meant to cut earth broke through his guard. A large, bloody gash was visible across his torso now, the man full of wounds since, unlike the Gamers, their opponent was a normal human who could be wounded.

He only had a tenth of his HP left. He was pretty bad off, but still seemed quite confident for some reason, as well as a bit pissed off.

From that display of power though, Silas was awarded with an array of windows. Three of them stating that the Daichizan, Breathing Technique, and Inner Ki Technique Skills all had gone up in level by 1.

Critical

Your expertise in channeling energy through breathing to further strengthen yourself has made your concentration greater. +1 Focus

Skill Get

A Skill has been created through a Special Action. Through flowing and gathering more energy into yourself through the Breathing Technique, which is the next stage of the breathing technique, the ability to better employ this new technique, Ban Family Breath Flow Technique, has been created.

Ban Family Breath Flow Technique

Ban Family Breath Flow Technique (Level 1: 0/100 XP) (Active: 50 + 50 MP/Minute): The next stage of the breathing technique. This powerful form of breathing allows a person to focus and flow energy through their body more quickly to gather it and strengthen the body itself. This technique can only be used while the Breathing Technique is active as it augments the breathing technique. While this Skill is active, your STR and DEX are both increased by 5. Also the damage of your physical attacks is increased by a % amount equal to 50% of your Focus Score. You can continue to build up the flow of your breathing to further increase your strength. By spending an additional X MP, a max amount equal to your Focus Score, every five seconds will further augment your strength by 25% of the MP you spend. You can do this for a max of an additional 25 seconds. The problem with this is that its a double edged sword. As you build up more energy, you speed and focus the flow of your breathing more. If this flow is disrupted through a powerful hit or anything else, the breath in your body will momentarily cease its flow in an abrupt, dangerous way that will leave you Stunned for a few seconds. Note that the strength buffs from the additional augmentation is spent after a single attack is made, regardless of whether or not it hits. To Level: Activate this Skill. Perform an Attack while its Active. Use the additional augmentation. Attack while the additional augmentation is active.

Alright. Someone press the button Sumato found then. It isn't a trap.

Mike, instead of using more MP on Tamashi no Ha, would save it for Zandaka, as it would have had to been active to use the Tamashi no Ha, and Spirit Blade. Both total made Mike consume 71 MP per minute, which was a large amount for the amount Mike had. He attempted to just attack twice with just a normal slash of his Spirit Blade, the physical damage being stronger in this case since he was a mage and thus his physical defense wasn't as much. First he had to get close though to close the gap, which made the first slash not as accurate, but being able to attack up close and personal with the second slash made it harder to dodge.

Attack 1: 62 + 25 Distance Penalty - 24 Seishin no Ken (DEX) - 18 Attack Speed = 45 (Miss)

Attack 2: 85 - 25 Distance Bonus - 24 Seishin no Ken (DEX) - 18 Attack Speed = 18 (Miss)

---

Unfortunately the man was decently swift on his feet. Mages usually were, despite how they were in RPG games. Since they usually didn't wield weapons, mages in the Abyss practiced their dodging rather than focus on practicing with a weapon so that they could dodge any sort of attack, Mike's first strike missing by a large margin, but the second one was off by just a hair. If Mike had just been a small bit swifter in that moment of the second slash, it would have connected.

Yes, its how I got Kaito to post.

The Gamers (A Videogame Themed RP) (Reboot)

With Silas' and Sasha's movement speeds (adding the Foot Technique in there) they should be able to get into the room where the others are by the end of this next Turn, so you guys can post for your arrival and reaction to the scene there.

Waiting on people to post. You know... the usual.
