One moment the resounding explosion from Totsuzen was reverberating through the very earth. Next a blast so violent and sudden occured, I couldn't even hear myself think. Trying to create a plan of what to do fast, I came upon an idea. This is only temporary¹[/b], I thought to myself. I don't want anyone going down before the party begins. "If you wish to dispell the shield, simply destroy the clone. I have overrided its ability to explode when I created it," I said, directing my instructions more towards Coco than Kain. With a quick four handseals, I would channel chakra to my feet before suddenly lauching at a fourty-five degree angel towards Totsuzen and Ghost², away from the fawning duo.

As I soared towards the Tsuchikage I once again called upon the water stored cleverly and carefully on my bandages, crafting sixty more needles of steel-hard ice.³[/b][/color] Having become twenty meters closer to Totsuzen, I scanned for his presence and the others with my tracker. Easily finding the bodys another fourty-five meters away, I gave one quick spin, releasing an invisible wave of chakra to prople the needles created. Anything within a fifty-meter range would more than likely get spiked by numerous piercing needles, however I easily created paths which would avoid my comrads. Utilizing the remainign thirty needles from the technique, I would create five needles on each of my arms and legs, as well as my torso and back, giving me a temporary armor from Taijutsu lest anyone assault me from behind.

As a last line of defense, I strung together another four handseals performing placing my right wrist against the flat of back. As I landed on the ground, a half-pipe like shield surrounded my body, ten meters in all dimensions.⁴ As long as no one attacked from above, I would have a temporary shield to cover my backside. I moved slowly yet with a great purpose, straining my ears for any sounds that might alert to a nature trying to counter my own, my ears constantly flickering from sky to ground, my tracker zooming in and out for possible enemies.[/font]

I couldn't help but wrinkle my nose in annoyance at the girl's sudden change of expression. While she could not physicall see my face, I would flash her a smile, entirely fake, trying to show her a little facial snarl wasn't going to deter me from sleeping. "Put off by my body?" This girl was already beginning to give me a headache, despite her attempt at friendly chatter. It's not that hard a question to answer. How have Iza let such a twit get by so long...Shaking the mean thought away, I looked away as she spoke another question.

I was unsure how to answer her at first, shifting air to my cheeks back and forth to form a response. "It seems you are the only sane creature left on this earth. Perhaps that question can't be answered yet. Maybe there is still hope for humanity. In the district where I was born, a legend long told by the elders spoke of creatures known as Beautifuls who were said to have brought us to salvation. Perhaps you are one of these wonderful beings, to help me on some trip."[/i] I looked at her, my eyes filled with uncertainty as to what would happen next, or where she might go to.

As she mentioned my endeavors, I couldn't help but repress a bitter laugh. "My endeavors? Well, those are...not exactly...finished. So yes, I have failed. I...have not been able to achieve fully what I needed, but I'm not sure if that will ever happen, even if I get another chance."[/color] I propped myself slowly on my elbows, turning to look her in the eyes again. I hesitated in telling her my real name in case she used it against me later, instead deciding to use the title the pariah were given in Svalbard.

"Muu, Monster-prince of the pariah, at your service." I bowed my head, as I felt was customary addressing a lady. "I might also inquire your name name, miss. If only for politeness sake."[/b][/color]. I paused, taking a breath to calm my fervantly shaking hands. "Do...you know of a way in which my...efforts for a second chance might come about? I would be forever in your debt."[/color]. I wasn't quite sure what she meant when referring her mother, though it seemed as if she was not someone to trifle with. I pushed it aside for now, where I would ask her later when time had better suited us.[/font]

As I lay upon the ground, trying to keep myself warm against the frigid air, I layed my arms to the side and turned onto my stomach. My legs were sprawled out, spread apart enough for both to lay flat on the ground. Closing my eyes, I imagine myself on the stage again, the hot sun my spotlight. There I was, standing a soloist, bass at hand. Easily half a meter tall than me, I loved how it boasted a subtle power, one which was overlooked on many occassions.

I saw a woman in the crowd, blending in with her radiance a feat indeed. I spotted her glowing hair instantly, a soft golden sunshine. Perhaps she was a Beautiful as I had long wished to meet such a being. She looked at me, her chin lifted upward as my instrument, inquiring me to play something. I held my bow with a gentle dexterity before churning out a slow melody.

As I placed the bow on the string, instantly the resounding vibration was felt before heard, resonating throughout the ground's reach. It was strange, the way her face suddenly twisted into something awkward, baring an expression seemingly come out of nowhere. "HI! Are you dead? Huh? Wake up! HELLO?!" It was at this moment, my left eyelid slowly opened, searching for the perpatraitor of my disturbed slumber. I only had to look upwards to see a pleasant face staring down at me, rather uncomfortably I might add.

I gave a slight sigh before answering, my words laced with my dreariness. "Depends, dear,"[/i][/color] I would say kindly, looking at her with one eye full of good intention. "Is the world still a hellhole of careless violence and ignorance?"[/i][/color] I wished more than anything for her to answer the affirmative, yet I knew before I even asked my question what the answer would likely be. "Perhaps I am dead. If this is what heaven is like, I'd rather just dream.[/i][/color][/font]
