”Hurry up!” Giggling happily, two boys raced down a rocky slope. Pebbles and a thick haze of dirt were kicked up as they did, masking their vision, until they fell lightly onto their backs with their arms outstretched and wide grins plastered onto their faces. Soon though, they were on their feet, fighting off monsters with their imaginary weapons and shouting the names of ninjutsu as if they were shinobi.

Then the ground shook with a fierce intensity, as if alive and maddened. The boys lost their balance, falling on top of one another but laughing happily nonetheless. Of course, it had been a new monster’s doing—one they would defeat! They regained their balance, ready to continue their fight, when it happened once more. Confused and relieved of their imaginary world, they looked around to find the real culprit, though found none.

Moments of silence followed, before the serenity was shattered by a familiar scream. Tumbling, falling, tripping and racing, they climbed clumsily and hurriedly up the slope they’d only just slid down. This new-found vantage point was rendered useless by their home, which blocked their view of whatever lie on the other side. Desperately they sprinted around in order to investigate whatever had caused such a shriek.

There was a distinct crack—the snapping of bones, much like twigs. A bright yellow sun dress had been tainted with crimson, torn and tattered. The woman’s mouth opened as if to call out, though little more than a weak groan escaped her lips. Scarlet trickled down from her tongue. Her cerulean eyes sparked with a mixture of fear and hope as she looked upon her sons stumbling back in terror. No pain surged through her body; she’d gone limp and numb long before, though she subconsciously gripped at her attacker with a vengeance.

Eyes darkened, her body was tossed aside like the rest would be. The immense form of the Eight Tailed Bijuu stood looming overhead, not even granting her death the light of the blazing sun by its shadow. Its eight tails wreathed and thrashed about, alive and full of a will all their own. They smashed into the ground, rocking everything around, demolished homes and civilians alike, uncontrollable and unpredictable in their mindless destruction. A small house was crushed between the fingers of its hands, which raked and clawed at everything before it in an almost anxious carnage. The beast itself tilted its head back and cried out from its maw, a concussive and mighty bellow which foreshadowed, and, indeed, served as the beginning of the coming chaos.

It was much like a powerful and sorrowful requiem to their ears as the boys raced along the path leading from their home further into the village. They stumbled and tripped in their terror and animosity, and each time their bodies hit the ground they would look back with hatred upon the furious, massive, destructive creature. Little awaited them except more chaos. No one stopped to help them; no one could help them.

Another scream escaped the Bijuu. This time, as it parted its mouth, an obsidian and powerful energy began to gather and coalesce. As if powered by the energy—the chakra—its eight tails and arms began to thrash about with more power and desperation, until it finally lowered its body to the ground and faced the town.

Nothing was left as the yellow blast faded, nothing but a searing black scar upon the earth itself, and a furious Eight Tailed Beast. It stomped further along, crushing any homes that had somehow managed to escape his slaughter. With the small village annihilated, the beast began to make its way across the mountainous region, ready to bring chaos to whatever it finds.

[Kii!]

”No way . . .” I couldn’t believe it. I just sat there for a few moments, mouth agape and obviously in shock. Now it was obvious what had happened; the black scar upon the land was a testament to what had been, and the massive beast in the distance was the enforcer of its destruction. My fist tightened until my knuckles were ashen and white, though I couldn’t have realized it through the fog of absolute fury that was threatening to consume my being entirely. Part of me wanted to cry out of pure anger, but more of me was dying to tear everything I believed in apart just to know the feeling of ripping that thing’s throat out.

My psyche was completely distraught, and I wasn’t sure what to do. A whirlwind of doubt, anger, fear, desperation, and sadness raged uncontrollably. That Masuerta had come with me was completely erased from my mind. Where I was, what I was doing, it was all gone. Now, all that existed to me was death; the death of an entire village, destroyed mercilessly and mindlessly by the creature before me, and the thought of the death of the Bijuu at my hands. Then, I gripped at my hair desperately, shaking it back and forth as if to dispel my own thoughts. While I was a shinobi, I’d never once killed a single living thing. It was something I was proud of, and something I was determined to uphold as I lived on, and yet now I could think of nothing but killing.

Then I looked up to Masuerta, and I knew my gray eyes were filled with such a mixture of emotions that he would likely not understand what I was thinking. I doubted he would either way--I’d only just met him, and now we were faced with a Bijuu together. He reminded me briefly of the world outside of these last few seconds, but those thoughts were soon devoured by my confusion and by my animosity. Then, I snapped.

My will was weak. Swallowed whole by my emotion, I left Masuerta behind and dashed ahead at full speed, trailing the beast relentlessly.

[.DEVIOUS]

From the mountain where I had been standing with Kii, I had witnessed and felt the growing strength of something that could only be called monstrous. As one who had spent his entire life grooming for the appearance of a monster, the prospect of coming face to face with a real life one was something that I found absolutely incredible. That sadistic smile was on my face the entire that I had run down the mountain, moving as quickly as I possibly could without letting myself get winded. Somewhere around here would be Kii, I was sure, but so lost was I in the desire to see the creature that I payed zero attention to him.

As I came closer to the dust cloud that I had seen earlier, the sound of destruction filled my ears, raising inside of my blood the lust of the battle. I let out a short cry and quickened my pace, wanting to be the first to witness the dawning of a new fight. As I moved towards the monster, I finally saw what I was looking for, the gargantuan form of an eight-tailed creature, his body massive and filled to the brim of chakra. My mouth widened, as did my eyes, and I blinked twice and gulped down a quick breath of air, and suddenly I wasn't sure if I wanted to be here or not.

Incredible as it was, I wasn't sure what I could do to fight off this creature, but did I want to fight it? Or did I simply wish to witness and revel in the destruction...? Reaching towards my left side with my right hand, my fingers would caress the hilt of my blade as I pondered what to do. Well, right now I would just watch, but who knows what I would do later? Releasing the grip on my weapon, I would reach into my pouch and pull out a lemon flavored sucker.

This would be marvelous.

''Oh..my."

It was massive. Far larger than anything he had seen before, it was like a massive bull, but it had delicious tentacles. Gentle was in heaven. ''My, my. Look at how BIG he is, oonce. He is absolutely beautiful, snake boy." Following behind his companion, Gentle rested his claymore alongside Kain, his hands gripping and rubbing the handle of his blade, his mouth nearly overflowing with drool as he stared at the massive creature.

''Snake boy, I-I..I want it. It's so beautiful."

Almost completely out of breath, Gentle shook his head in disgust of his own actions, the arousal he felt for the creature was far too obvious for his liking. ''Re-Regardless, vhat is it doing here? Zhis is not a zoo, he is in zhe wrong AREA. Does he have a permit? I don't care, I vhant him inside me. DEEP in my bowels."

[Ichiro]

The line that dragged behind him by his sword… it stopped as suddenly as his breathing and his heart did. There were no words that could describe this situation accurately, the shock and awe that tore his hope for a peaceful day asunder. It was grand it every sense of the word that could be used. A wild tentacled thing that the blocked out the sun, making everything in front of it stygian and dark as if to mark his next target or show how much of a presence it truly was. It was a harder target than any shinobi that he had faced.

He hadn’t a clue of where to start yet he saw his allies and drew his sword from his back as he walked in between them. And I thought the war was pretty bad… this is just… How can so few of us slay such a beast? I need a bigger sword He simply couldn't fathom just how he could injure such a beast, it seemed even if he came in close to attempt to slice at it that he would only do minor damage and even at that perhaps only enough to scratch it or make it bleed a bit. And then it would knock him away with ease.

[sachi]

Well, there it was. Coincidentally Kain had been in the next town over, where he was meeting with some old friends of his, right up until the thunderous noise created by the Bijuu alarmed not only him, but probably everybody in the area for several miles. The young Kagehebi was nowhere near close to the beast, but god, even from here was it ever massive. To be honest, its presence alone was intimidating; a feeling Kain wasn't exactly familiar with. He had faced off against many foes in his life, whether they be enemy ninja or oversized creatures, but never in his life had he witnessed something so simultaneously amazing and frightening. It had the power to wipe an entire town off the face of the Earth, nothing more than a black scorch across the dirt to let you know it ever existed... did Kain really want to get involved in this? He couldn't say for certain, but you could bet your ass he was going to witness it!

"Oh my.. god.."

He was at a loss for words, and to be fair, who wouldn't be? He knew something major was going to go down, and he clearly wasn't the first person to hear this or to show up.. and to be frank, he couldn't help but wonder where Coco had gone. Was she okay?

[sakaki]

The very ground trembled beneath the little shinobi known as Sakaki. At first she figured it to be a simple earthquake, or perhaps even the after effects of a storm... but when it happened a second time, quaking even more fiercely, she felt a twinge of concern. Not one to stray too idly far from Kumogakure, it was still a little odd for the small girl to be wandering around on her own. However, she was a ninja, and certain things were expected of her... which included overcoming fears and becoming stronger.

"Mrah?" the girl asked the air in the inquisitive manner of a child. Her body rose in a small jump as her wheel tech kicked into action, wheels extending from her boots and revving against the ground. She zipped off, quickly finding the largest nearby mountainside she could find, and riding straight on up the side. Another quake nearly shook her off, and certainly startled her, but the curiosity that hounded her was far more pressing than worries of her safety.

'What... is that?' she asked herself, ideas filtering through her mind as she rode. Nothing she'd ever experienced shook the ground the way she was feeling. Ride, ride, ride... she saw the edge of the hill nearing, and moments later would soar above it, quickly landing atop the collection of earth. And that was when she saw the creature, standing tall above the horizon.

'Wait...' she thought, her whole body going rigid. 'What... what the heck is that thing?!' Her eyes widened in fright, expression easily displaying her emotions. She was much like a deer caught in the headlights of a vehicle, her entire body frozen. She wasn't sure what she was looking at, but it scared her halfway to the underworld. It wasn't just the beast, no, but the evil aura that she could almost feel burning into her soul. This being of evil... whatever it was, it was definitely real... and it was here, in her home country.

'Is... Is the village going to be okay?' That single sentence echoed through her mind, overriding even the thoughts of her being torn apart limb from limb. It was like the beginning of a nightmare, and didn't look to have a definitive ending in sight.

[Axcel]

The Hachibi moved along the ground—it’s surroundings having transformed into nothing but a black scar upon the earth, one that would be remembered for a long time by the denizens of Kaminari no Kuni. The tailed beast’s direction, while appearing to be aimless, was not without purpose. Those who knew the location of the countries famed hidden village would eventually catch on that the Bijuu was headed towards nowhere other than Kumogakure no Sato. If none were to block it’s path, it would undoubtedly reach it’s destination—however, there was one who stood in it’s path.

Glowing eyes narrowed down onto a figure who stood directly in front of the Hachibi, standing in the large ditch that had replaced the village which had been obliterated earlier, leaving nothing but a dry gully in the tailed beast ball’s wake. The ashen haired child was no further than twenty meters from Hachibi, whose horns were as far as sixty meters above the lad. Two of the tailed beast’s tentacles aligned themselves at the sides of the ditch, which was as wide as twenty meters and as long as any person, at least in the vicinity, could see. They aimed to create wall around around the Konoha shinobi.

Without notice, the Hachibi’s left fist moved at frightening speeds, creating a massive shadow over its new prey, crashing downwards onto the brash kid who had stood in it’s path. A loud, reverberating roar shook the lands as it’s massive fist aimed to crush its target.

[Kii!]

I was probably the only one brash enough to challenge the thing on my own. It didn’t matter to me; I wasn’t even sure if there was anyone else nearby. Nothing seemed to matter to me then, nothing but destroying the abomination that stood looming over me, wreathing and squirming in its destructive nature. My eyes were narrowed, narrowed onto the form before me that stood to shake the very foundation of the earth I rested upon. Even without delving into my mind’s eye, I could feel the chakra emanating from the creature--the power emanating from it. It was entirely overwhelming, washing over me like waves in the ocean. But, just like everything else, it didn’t seem to faze me.

My mind was lost and confused. I’d been broken, torn asunder within by the destruction that I’d thought, in my naivete, was impossible. That something could kill so mercilessly, so easily, it was a thought I’d either never imagined, or subconsciously refused to imagine. I wanted to unite the world, to bring an everlasting peace, so that everyone could live together. So that everyone could laugh together. There would be no conflict, no war, no tragic deaths, not by the hands of others. And now I stood, face to face, with reality. The land I stood upon had been the home of countless people--countless lives--that were all extinguished, like flames, in a single, dreadful moment. The world seemed shattered to me, surreal and unreal, and yet in my heart I knew that it was all too real. That I was the only one living in a fantasy, and that I’d been wrong.

But it didn’t seem to matter to me anymore. It was as if my body was moving on its own, willed to life by malice and hatred and so many emotions that I’d come to despise altogether. It was ironic when I thought about it, though I probably didn’t have much longer to even think. My expression was blank and lifeless despite the tempest of emotion that raged inside of me. It was time to act, however; the beast had laid its tails on either side of our battlefield, and I had no choice but to fight. I’d wanted nothing more than to crush the beast beneath my fist, and escaping hadn’t even come to mind. Instead, I cried out, a broken, shattered scream filled with passion and energy, sorrow and ambition, and most of all, hatred.

The attack come from overhead, just as quick as I’d anticipated. It threatened to crush me, exactly what I’d envisioned myself accomplishing to it, and I only laughed as it happened. I laughed a laugh I’d never known, cracked and crazed, though tinted with hidden emotion. Shousen-style chakra spread throughout my form, ready to immediately heal whatever wounds I would receive in the next few moments, though I held back a bit. I knew that I wouldn’t take nearly the full hit, and so I didn’t waste any chakra. At the same time, my fists--my entire arms flickered, coming alive with a pale blue, fiery glow. A new-found strength surged within me, and I rose both hands to stop the blow. It would hurt, I knew it, but pain was only ephemeral--a weakness, which left my body soon, just as any injuries I sustained would. Then, I would attempt to grip at its hand, and using my immense, chakra-granted strength, I would attempt to lift the beast over my head, and throw it in whichever direction I could.

The Inuzukan's face lit with anxiousness as he bolted towards the devastated area, word of a powerful creature destroying everything in it's path being extremely close to Kumogakure's boundaries. Even though he served the citizens and government of the Cloud Village, Goh was truly a warrior within, refusing to back down from any challenge, especially against such a titan. Raishin, his trusty companion, refused to allow the creature's malice deter it, although it whimpered with fear, warning Goh of the creature's undeniable strength. The duo had been returning from an area not very far from the outskirts, meaning that the village had no clue that their shinobi was about to thrust himself into such a dangerous situation, but he could care less. As long as there was a challenge to be defeated, Goh would fight endlessly to assure it. Chakra built with the anticipation that came from such a situation, the two being quite a distance from the creature, but surely enough, they could still feel it's relentless wrath. The Inuzukan licked his fangs as his eyes glistened at the thought of drawing blood from this monster, his fist clenched tightly enough break his own hand if he wanted. The first thing to catch the boy's sight wouldn't be another human, nor the vast genocide around him, but the Hachibi's attention focused upon something other than aimless rage. Somewhere below him, it had found a target, a target that was not Goh himself. Jealous and outraged at the fact that someone else could be stealing his spotlight, the feral warrior would halt his rampaging jolt, shaking his head with disapproval as he felt the uncontrollable lust to strike begin to take over. "Gah! I have to be smart about this, throwing myself in there without a plan will have me killed!" Golden pupils scanned the area, his eyes observing the endless amount of rubble that littered the area, but finally, something would catch his eye. A group of humans [Gana, Alahir, sachi] witnessing the same carnage near his position. Initially, Goh couldn't dare think of a being who wouldn't run away from the Hachibi who did not know how to hold their own, meaning he was most likely within the presence of fellow shinobi. Regardless of whether or not the trio was friend or foe, Goh wasted no time, arriving beside the masked man [Gana], hoping his curiosity would be answered. "Hey! Do you guys have any clue what the fuck is going on here?!?!?"

I Spy...

[/i][/size][/right]

Now that I had taken a moment to realize what was happening around me, I would notice with keen interest that my traveling companion had taken off at a sprint towards the monstrosity that stood before us. A feral grin filled my face. I would get to watch Kii's monstrous strength put to good use, at last! I knew from first-hand experience that the man was strong, with those blazing blue arms and legs which could deliver enough force to send me flying away a distance of meters. But, I wondered... would he be strong enough?

As I pondered this, I decided to take a moment to gauge the relative strengths of the two combatants. Although unnecessary, I had taken a keen liking to moving both of my hands towards my eyes, my index fingers and thumbs forming two 'O's, and I brought them to my eyes to look through as if they were glasses. My authority over the power of the Kagura kicked in and I both felt and saw the difference myself, and I nearly gasped. This creature, which I had not seen before but knew immediately what it must have been, was a bijuu, one of the famed monsters of the previous age! The massive chakra force within the eight-tailed body overshadowed Kii's force by over a hundred times! Maybe a thousand! It was incredible!

I also became aware that we were not alone - other people had heard or seen the appearance of the monster and had come to battle it too, it seemed. I witnessed the spark of chakra within 5 other bodies. Even combined, the chakra force behind all of the people here, Kii included, would likely not be enough to topple the behemoth unless he were managed to be caught by surprise. It was fortunate for me, then, that Kii had rushed in headstrong, ignoring the dangers of such an attack, and had drawn all of the beast's attention.

While I might have originally intended to remain out of combat and simply observe, I found myself drawn towards assisting my new-found friend in his battle. Plus, I knew I would never forgive myself if the fiend was taken down and I had done nothing in the fight. A decision made, I began my own dash towards the bijuu - however, I would not come straight forward like Kii had done, but rather would move around towards the back and begin a complicated string of Handseals to a technique that I had not sanctified in combat yet.

Such as it was that when the fiend's assault came hurtling down towards Kii that I would find myself in position, not completely in the back of the creature but likely out of vision, what with its focus upon my foolish friend, on the beast's right-hand side. Gathering the largest sum of chakra that I had ever accumulated in my life, I would slam my hand upon the ground and release the Doton energy deep into the earth. As the energy flowed through me and soared into the dirt and rock, that same fierce smile would reappear upon my face.

It took only a half moment, but in that time the earth would begin to shake again, like it had when the bijuu had first appeared and begun its attack. Was there another one of these monsters coming?! Nay, it would not be another bijuu, nor would it be an ally of the current humongous varmint. From within the very depths of the planet, an impossibility was occurring. A human-like shape, gargantuan in its size, was reaching out from underneath the ground, directly underneath the Hachibi, with its two massive hands grabbing at the sides of the bijuu's tail focal point (where many of the tails were connected with the body) and constricting the tails, the creation's body pushing upwards as the Earth Titan was born.

At the same time, I found myself moving directly towards the Earth Titan, attaching myself to the backside of its head and applying some chakra to my feet. I was breathing deeply, obviously exhausted from the birthing of my 50 foot tall rock-solid replica, which was still continuing to rise from the ground. As the Titan finished its ascension into the realm of reality, I would command it with my mind to toss the creature towards the other observers. I wondered what they would do...?

Enter the Earth King.

[Gentlemanne]

''Ugh, nein. What are all zhese idiots doing?"

It was marvelous, that massive, beautiful specimen of a creature. The way it moved, roared and strutted, Gentle knew the beast felt the same way about him, he'd simply need a bit of..encouragement. ''Nein, nein, NEIN. Zhat is not how you seduce zhe beast, you simpletons." Waving his sword about in the air, the masked man began to bark unintelligible orders out at the combatants, who seemed to be quite set on what they were going to do. This didn't sit well with Gentle.

''Okay, first of all, vhat we should be doing is negotiating with it, all of this hostility is completely out of pla-- VHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Suddenly the massive beast seemed to CRUSH the boy. What was he thinking, taking on such a huge creature? That was, of course, before what he saw next. ''He's..lifting it?" About 65 meters from the bijuu itself, the view looked even more disturbing, as if an ant was lifting the sun. This excited him greatly.

''..W-W-..W-Wunderbar."

Not willing to take any chances, Gentle began to move backwards at an accelerated pace, his hands clutching onto his sword out of pure amazement, his eyes looking back towards the monster as he furthered the distance by another 10 meters. ''Yes, yes, I vhant him CLOSER. BRING HIM TO ME!" He screamed in response to the massive monstrosity that arose out of the ground.

[Ichiro]

The shock still stayed with him yet he knew not what he could do in this situation. He stared down at his blade and then back at the beast. He couldn’t fathom how to hurt it, he didn’t have the jutsu of the man in front of him who summoned a colossus of almost equal proportions to that of the bijuu. He gazed in awe again at this construct of dirt mud and stone and wondered what type of ninja he must be to have such a stupendous creation at his very fingertips. Yet he saw him exahausted, deprived and devastated by the chakra he let out. They didn’t have much, the man who had gone to attack blatantly at the bijuu and the now strained doton user.

He was standing with those that practiced ju kenshin and he was a bit surprised how one of them had in the time he had not seen him suddenly developed a fetish for enormous bijuu sized member inside of him, yet he brushed it off it wasn’t oddly enough the most pressing issue at the moment. He checked his inventory and catalogued what he could use to destroy the beast. As soon as another person joined them, his hair long and silver he immediately barked to his daft question. “what is going on?” was the jist of what he asked and this infuriated him. ”What the fuck do you think is going on!. It’s a god damned bijuu!”

He made his way backward to safety, all he had were really anti-personnel weapons save for his explosive tags… perhaps they could at the least distract the bijuu? He Crafted his paper tags around a single kunai, all ten of them. He could perhaps throw it at the beast’s eyes or a previous wound to hurt it further. He thought he saw the golem motion as if he was going to throw the beast but that was just a hunch. He started to charge his sword and wait, by his estimations he would be out of range but not enough that he wouldn't be able to rush and land a blow if given the chance..

[sachi]

Right here, right now, Kain was not only witnessing, but taking part in history. Rampant sprees of the tailed beast were things they had only ever HEARD about, stories parents told their children to scare them, impossibly powerful creatures thought to have been defeated and captured.. but here he was, staring directly at a monster of such immense proportions that Kain didn't even know where to start. The Kagehebi was known for fighting with his over-sized cleaver, the sword enabling him to cleave through multiple people, but in the presence of a bijuu he had never felt so insignificant in his entire life, they were truly like ants when faced with such incredible strength. It was times like these Kain wished he had powerful ninjutsu to fall back on, he knew his athletic prowess wouldn't exactly do him good in his current situation, unless he could somehow close the distance and attack weak areas like perhaps the eyes and ears.. but how would one even approach such a beast? It had not one, not two, but EIGHT massive tentacles swinging around in a fury, a most impressive defense against... well, anything!

"Did he just.."

Being so far away it was hard to see exactly what was happening, but his keen eyesight enabled him to make out the shape of a person in the distance, the sheer size of the bijuu almost letting Kain miss him entirely. Just what the fuck was happening? Did he really just run right up to that thing? Almost as if on cue with his train of thought would the beast swing an arm upwards, ready to crush the boy without hesitation, the impact likely so powerful that nothing more than a red puddle would remain of him - but never in his life did Kain ever think to see what he would a few seconds later. The monster's fist would literally stop upon impact, in a scene that simply could not be described, only witnessed. A feat of strength so astonishing that Kain's jaw dropped, his eyes widened and he froze where he stood, unable to look away.

"What the fuck?!"

It was moving, the tailed beast was literally being uplifted by this tiny speck of a man in the distance, but if that wan't enough, the Kagehebi would witness another feat of incredible talent; the creation of a Titan made of earth, its sheer size nearly putting it on par with the Hachibi itself, and then Kain would realize what was happening..

"Tch! It's coming this way!"

His cleaver was pulled out from his back, all the while his legs moved frantically backwards as he recognized what was happening. With their strengths combined, the Bijuu was not only being lifted, but by the looks of it being THROWN in the direction of the Chefs and this random individual that strolled up (maybe Sakaki too, don't know where you are). As much as he liked the two, he wasn't going to stick around and get crushed with them, and so he would retreat backwards alongside Gentle, adrenaline pumping the hardest it ever had in his lifetime, his chakra simultaneously flaring up as he did so. If the opportunity presented itself, he would have to try and take this thing down too! He wouldn't be satisfied being ONLY a witness, even if his attacks were limited and the effectiveness would be questionable.. but shit, he could try, right?

"Okay, let's see how this goes!"

He dropped to a knee, hands momentarily pushed into the ground as sleeves rustled furiously and then ceased as quick as it started, his creations springing forth and diving straight into the dirt. Crimson eyes still fixated on the beast, Kain couldn't help but smirk, I mean, this was exactly the kind of fun he thrived for, right? What was more dangerous to hunt than one of the tailed beasts, especially one with such a high tail count?
