Arrival at the Ruins...

(I'll be more active now I swear D:)

~@ Tera's eyes narrowed at the two, he was wondering where Maruze went, but he knew if he was going to find him, the people in front of him had to be dealt with.@~

Tch, that was irritating. I have no clue about your friend, all I know is that you all did something to mine. According to you, he is already at Medusa?

~@As Tera spoke, the chakra in his hands, became dark, and then in a mist of darkness, his sycthe, Kuro-Maitsu, appeared. It seemed to be vibrating as Tera held it readily, but with his free hand he put his skull candy headphones on.@~

If he is, then I have to go catch up to him.

Eruka jumped a bit "Geko geko! You won't be going anywhere, mister!" Eruka raised her arms up in the air, her hands beginning to glow "I only need one bomb to take you out with this new magical boost! Gekori!" A huge, spherical bomb about the height of a tree appeared above her with a face smiliar to Otama Jackson's face, only without the long tail. The large bomb was placed on the field in front of Tera, then began to hop at him swiftly like a tadpole. "Don't try to get close, I can make more! Otama Jackson! Make sure he doesn't touch me or Mizune!" The gigantic tadpole nodded, staying where it was, eyes on Tera.

~@Looking at the weird bomb hopping towards him, he couldn't help but laugh a little at its appearance.@~

Oh, sorry...just neve rseen anything like it before.

~@He stabbed Kuro-Maitsu into the ground, and once he did a shockwave of sound would ripple through the ground, causing an earthquake. He then began to seep into his shadow, half way, and drift backward, and as he went backward, the sycthe would tear through the ground, and by manipulating the sound created by this, he would have it explode in the crevice, making the hole wider and deeper, for the bomb to fall into. The ground was weakened horrificly by the earthquake, so this was probable. Dark energy began to surge through Tera as he was half way into his shadow.@~

Mizune's dress suddenly began spurting flames, engulfing her legs and propelling her straight into the sky "Chichichi! It seems as though you do not know the power of one of Eruka's bombs! A few normal sized ones no bigger than a mouse could blow up an entire house, so imagine what this one could do! Chichi!" Mizune flew higher and higher until she was on just about the border of the magical barrier... She knew that Eruka would explode this bomb soon enough.

~@Tera would crack a smile as the bomb fell into the crevice he created.@~

It doesn't matter how strong it is for what I have planned.

~@ He then created 4 shadow clones who were in a square formation around the hole with the bomb, Tera was like the point, making it a pentagon. Each clone was half way into its shadow like Tera was, and the dark energy surging to Tera from his shadow would fully engulf him. He and his clones spun their sycthes above their heads, each sending a 360 degree wave of dark energy at everything in its path, including Eruka. Everything touched by the wave would begin to darken with dark energy.@~

Eruka gulped, then began to laugh "Gekogeko! There's no way these things will hit me! Go, Otama Jackson! Mizune, I'll use some Arithmetic Magic to make your beam whiskers even stronger!" Eruka began to wave her hands around and they began to glow purple. She pointed at Mizune, who began to glow purple as well. She then touched Otama Jackson, who began to fly a bit faster. Lastly, she pointed at the bomb and had it detonate, though it probably would do nothing, but it was better to detonate now than never. Otama Jackson hovered into the sky along with Mizune so that she would be dealing with the waves of darkness.

Mizune nodded, feeling the power surging through her. Her beam whiskers shot out of her fingers, larger than usual and in the form of thin, long claws. Normally, her magical beam whiskers could cut through any and all SOLID substances, however with this Arithmetic Magic and the power of the barrier, she would easily be able to hack up that dark energy without anything being done to herself in the process. She dove down at the energies, slicing them up at a high speed. She was going directly for Tera, trying to cut him up just as his energies had done. This would be helpful if Mizune and Eruka had a variety of magical abilities like Medusa and Free did, however they could manage if they worked together.

~@Tera and hid clones all held their sycthes, pointed directly at Mizune as she raced towards him. They all flicked the blade of the sycthe, then said one word in unison.@~

Rupture.

~@ A ripple effect of amplified sound waves would aim for Mizune from every direction at the speed of sound. Since it was a ripple effect, waves of sound were coming from each of the 5 sycthes in about 1/4 of a second intervals. The frequency of these sound waves could rupture what they touched, and begin breaking the substance down. This went for Mizune, her energy beam things, and since sound expands over time, it would also effect Eruka and Otama Jackson. The real Tera would still seep into his shadow, leaving his sycthe in its initial position so it can continue to ripple, and he would come up from a darkened space on the field, with his skull candy headphones on, listening to his J-Rock mix CD.@~

Time I ended this...

Eruka almost panicked, since Mizune was in grave danger... But she realized something. Her bombs were a lot louder than that sound, and a larger sound would block out the original sounds in the area, or at least keep them from reaching a certain point by overpowering a smaller sound. Using Arithmetic Magic and quick thinking, 4 bombs appeared next to Mizune, all of extreme size and proportion "Sorry, Mizune! Brace yourself!" She instantly detonated the bombed, hoping Mizune would survive the explosion via her claw beam things or whatever the hell she could do, but the force of the explosions should send Mizune a safe distance into the sky and hopefully the explosion would reach Tera's position as well as stop his scythe. Eruka had Otama Jackson hurry and catch Mizune from the sky. After catching Mizune, she would proceed in setting up numerous bombs around the entire place, slightly pissed "I'll make you pay for making me hurt my friend geko geko! I'll blow up everything until you come out!" She created bombs, then detonated them instantly as they were being created until there was no place not filled with a fiery explosion of magic and... explosion...ness. Hopefully the light from the explosions would also leave no escape for Tera within his shadows if he were to try to take that route again, since light coming from all directions would leave no way to have a shadow.

~@When the J-Rock is playing, sound has no effect on Tera, and he has control over all the sound in the area. As he stood in the distance, watching the bombs explode all around the field, He clapped his hands together, and all the sound being made by the explosions would come to the center of the field, into one ball. As the explosions continued, the ball of sound grew bigger and bigger, also absorbing the sound fromt he bombs, meaning they had no shockwave behind them, weakening them after they activate each time.@~

Sorry, but can't afford to deal with you all too long.

~@He slowly raised his hand, lifting the ball off the ground, into the air. It would separate into 4 balls of sound, and each ball of sound would condense into a ring, each one bigger than the next, but they wee extremely thin, proving to be compacted beyond measure. The outer most ring would explode, sending a massive 360 degree wave of sound with a piercing frequency across the entire field at mach 1. The grand explosion from that sound ring would strengthen the sound of the next ring, which would shortly after the first, also explode, sending an even more powerful wave of sound across the entire field at mach 2. Boulders were vibrating so much from the massive explosions of sound that they deconstructed all together, along with portions of the ground. Now the second ring was even more powerful than the previous ones would explode, desimating everything in the area now at mach 3.@~

Times up.

~@The last, and most powerful ring, would be left in the center of the sky, ready to do what the predecessing rings did. It had gained strength from each of the rings before it, so this explosion would end up annihilatting everything but Tera in the area, if the first 3 sound ring explosions didn't already finish them. Tera seemed to be brimming with a massive amount of energy, but for what?@~

Eruka thought it was the end of her rope, along with Mizune and Otama Jackson, when suddenly she heard Medusa's voice as the explosion happened

"Vector Arrow Compress; Vector Plate!!"

From inside of Eruka, hundreds of arrow shaped snakes popped out and wrapped around her and Mizune and Otama Jackson, compacting very tightly. Afterwards, several gigantic Vector Plates appeared, surrounding the orb and forcing the explosions in the direction of the arrows rather than touching the arrows or the compacted ball, meaning that Eruka, Mizune and Otama Jackson were safe... However, how? Because of all of the snakes that Medusa planted in Eruka, allowing her to see whatever Eruka was doing, and since these snakes were made of her magic and soul, she could do whatever she wanted with them at any time.

Eruka: Eh...? We're saved...? Wait, snakes...? Medusa-sama?

Medusa: See? Aren't you glad I never took all of the snakes out of you so long ago, Eruka?

Eruka: Yes, Medusa-sama! I am very grateful!!

Medusa: Hm... Next time, I may just detonate the snakes instead of save you from doom... Anyway. Go find Free. I will handle those two-- Wait... The other one is already near...

Suddenly, Eruka could not hear Medusa's voice anymore. All she saw was all of the snakes disappear and she and the others were freed. "Ha... Well, at least we're saf--"

"Vector Plate."

A large plate appeared under Eruka, Otama Jackson and Mizune and they were all launched in the direction Free was, leaving Tera indefinitely... well... alone.

Tch, I do all this and they leave on me?

~@Tera would hold his hand out, and the ring would go around his wrist and then fix itself to stay, like a bracelet filled with immeasurable amounts of sound. He did a series of handsigns, then his board Kuro-Ita appeared in front of him.@~

Now, off to find Maruze-

~@He hopped on the board, and made a dash for the inner ruins, hoping to catch up with Maruze.@~
