"It could work..." Saiken said, reading Athos' mind as he spoke. He sighed, nodding his head,"Alright, that can work. I think I have an idea. If you want to lead him into trying to absorb an attack, I'll throw something at him so strong he won't have a choice but to use that ability of his."

He nodded his head, glancing in the direction that the beast was in before looking back at Ichirou,"When he does, that'll be when you get in your sneak attack. You're an archer, stay out of sight and be ready when he goes to counter it. Saiken and I have this, alright?" He asked, turning to face the location of the beast, his hand coming to rest over his stomach as he raised his brow and waited for confirmation from Ichirou.

Ichirou nodded, releasing the item seal on his wrist guard to spawn his bow, gripping it in his left hand. The mongrel patrolled the area, walking with a casual yet aggressive pace as he continued to close in on their position. "On your cue Athos."Ichirou spoke out in a hushed tone.

His goal for this sneak attack was twofold, first and foremost it was an attempt to bring the bastard down, secondly it served to test the extent of this things ability. Ichirou hoped that Athos attack -which he assumed would be Biju related one way or another- would cause the stone to have to focus in order to absorb all of the energy from the attack, he hoped that this would allow his attack to break through and make contact with the stone, instead of being absorbed as well.

Taking a deep breath, the ground beneath Athos would break suddenly as chakra flowed out of him,"Ready, Saiken?" As it's chakra merged perfectly with Athos, he gave a mental nod, the two of them within the inner sanctum for a Jinchuuriki and it's Bijuu.

His form would suddenly be covered in a blue aura, clothing. A blue hoari split down the front rested on his form, two antennas on his forehead. He entered Saiken Modo, power surging out around him. He glanced over his shoulder at Ichirou before nodding, before taking off in a blue streak.

He traversed across the ground in this heightened state quickly, coming into view of the beast, but keeping his distance. He extended his right hand outwards, then places his left's palm against the back of his right hand,"Oi! You ugly bastard! Over here!" Chakra poured into the area in front of his hands as Bijuu chakra gathered, it built itself quickly to the size of a basketball, then condensed, and repeated this several times. It was a powerful attack, prepared to launch.

Assuming Ichirou got into position, and the beast charged at him, or at least paid him mind, he would release the attack.

The beam would tear through the air swiftly, in a stream of black and red chakra. The force could tear through any Susanoo with ease, and even with it's strength, it wasn't even meant to kill the beast. It was a decoy but at the same time, with all this strength, Athos thought that maybe overloading the crystal could work as well. If not, Ichirou's attack would be all they had.

The beast caught eye of Athos, but did not move. In fact, it smiled as his attack formed before it's eyes. Steam leaving it's maw as it hung open like a dog.

Ichirou had indeed taken position, leaping to a high ledge along the rockface and drawing his bow, an arrow of Gelel energy gathering as he drew it back, the energy condensing in a manner similar to a bijudama, causing small cracks to begin to form and pebbles to float up in the area around Ichirou as he continued to condense the energy, waiting for the right moment to release the bow and taking aim at the exact location where the stone would emerge.

the beast would raise it's blade, pointing it toward Athos, as if challenging him. As if it knew something that the duo did not. Exactly what was it planning? surely it could feel the energy gathering around it at such high levels. Yet it bore no fear, it braced for nothing, but instead began walking at a gentle pace toward Athos.

Providing that Ichirou understands the nature of the attack (xD) and it traveled at the mongrel in the form of a beam, the crystal would reveal itself and the massive absorption would begin. The area around the mongrel cracking and stone flying abruptly around the place as the massive intake of energy began,

Now it was Ichirou's turn, with the beast hopefully distracted with absorbing the massive amount of Biju chakra, he felt his Gelel Arrow had more than enough power to finish this, or at least he hoped. He release the draw string, the bright green arrow darting forward that a bullet, and then.. boom. A collective explosion of Energies as the arrow hit it's mark. It was noticeable that not only Ichirou's energy expanded, but so did Athos', as if forced to. And then.. "Wait.. is that.." Ichirou muttered as he peered at the explosion that seemed to last a life time.

Like a shark breaching the water, the Red gelel energy would erupt from the explosion, along the outside of Ichirou's an Athos' energy, consuming it like a parasite before receding down into the beast once again "Shit." Ichirou grimaced as a huge cloud of dust burst forth from the now energy-less area that was the ground zero of their attacks.  The beast roared, the sound alone cracking the ground and walls around them, forcing Ichirou to once again abandon his location to avoid a rockslide.

The smoke cleared abruptly, as if blow away from the center. The beast stood, alive and well. Larger than before, he stood at 11 feet now, his appendages and face twisted into malicious evil, his teeth replaced with jagged fangs, and his jaw wide, billowing smoke. The red Energy that shown from beneath his skin now encumbered his entire body, almost like a Biju cloak, it seemed alive, squirming around inside of it's vessel, muscle spasms occurring randomly throughout it's figure.

"Okay.. New plan.."

Though Athos still had chakra left, he took a deep breath, panting heavily as he stood there in Saiken Modo. The flickering chakra around him a bright light in this darkness. It took a lot to bring up that much chakra in such a short amount of time and now... This? The flames suddenly exploded like paper around him, revealing the slightly battered and beaten Athos that rested beneath. He sighed, rolling his shoulders before moving to reach into his pocket. There were two green beans, Senju Beans, one that he would pop into his mouth and the other he would toss the Ichirou. They were something that would forcefully expand their chakra pool, replenishing it and some of their wounds.

Of course, now in this normal state, he stood where he was, now replenished,"Okay, what about something that isn't chakra?" Using his newfound energy, he would let out a violent battlecry, the ground breaking beneath him. Blue energy exploded out from around him, shattering the ground easily and raising into the air. His skin turned a deep red color and he formed his hand into a special handseal; that of a tiger.

That he tapped his hand against his other, condensing the air pressure around him, before throwing his hand forward into a blinding punch. From the punch came the form of a tiger, that aimed to slam into the beast and carry it a distance away before erupting in a large explosion. Athos wasn't sure what kind of damage it would do, but they were grasping at straws now and this was a move without any chakra.

Ichirou had made his way to Athos' side quickly, abandoning his bow in the process. he caught the Senju bean and ingested it immediately, feeling the restorative powers that lied within. He then watched as Athos utilized his Hachimon, quite a clever idea and perhaps could bode the best results they had seen so far.

Unfortunately it was merely one piece of the puzzle, they needed more. As the tiger of air pressure made it's attack, the mongrel spoke. It's voice rumbling for miles as the first words they would hear would leave it's lips. "Pathetic."It roared as the tiger made contact, the explosion setting off prematurely as the beast simply raised it's hand with intense force, shattering the attempted move and sliding back but a mere few feet.

The level of strength that it had reached now was ridiculous, it was safe to say that Ichirou had yet to see something this strong so close. But he had to do this, he had to think.

The idea of a non chakra attack was good in concept.. but it seemed to be lacking in the fact that the beast so easily cast this aside. But then it came to him. "Athos! I have an idea, but we need to regroup." he shouted before darting off into the darkness, the beast seemed to just be toying with them now, full of itself and sure that it wasn't facing anything life threatening today. Ichirou would once again take shelter behind tons of rubble, far and deep into the canyon and away from the mongrel. Assuming Athos would follow him he would immediately communicate his plan, "Okay, So we couldn't take it down with two chakra based techniques, so overloading it is out of the question, however.. I know for sure you can perform the Asa Kujaku right? If i'm right and I seriously hope I am, If I use everything i've got left I should be able to hit him with an attack that will force him to use the elongated version of his consumption that we just witnessed. If you use    Asa Kujaku in that moment to strike the gem, we could perhaps break it, and cut off his power for good. However there are two down sides to this. The first is that you will have to literally travel directly through the detonation of energy to reach him while he consumes my attack, the second is that if you don't get out of there fast enough, the resulting explosion that will come from him may consume you. If you're willing to try this, i'm willing to try this. But I don't want to see you die. That things got ridiculous amounts of our chakra in it plus whatever it had before, if the stone breaking results in an outward release of all of that energy, it could be catastrophic to anyone caught inside." Ichirou's face was as grim as it could be in this form, and his tone was deadly serious.

The beast, whom had been standing still up until this moment released yet another shout at his opponents. "You can't hide! I can smell the stench of your weakness from here." He swung his blade as he shouted, releasing a shockwave that would cut deep into the earth, and travel directly to Ichirou and Athos' location with intense speed. It seemed that he had gained the ability to track them now, too.

Athos listened to his plan, still within the Seventh Gate, as he nodded his head with a sigh,"Right... Of course I can use it. This is going to be close." As the attack came close, Athos would look at Ichirou and then jump out of the way of the incoming shockwave, having felt it across the ground. It could sense them now, too?

He sighed as he would land, looking at the beast. His sweat was an explosive blue aura around him, his skin a crimson red. He took a deep breath and nodded his head. They didn't have time to talk anymore. This thing was strong and they had to act quickly. He nodded his head at Ichirou, that this was the plan they were going to have to work with. Athos started dashing towards the monster as swiftly as he could, ground breaking beneath his feet.

Under these circumstances, it was all or nothing for these two. Ichirou didn't have time for an elaborate charge, no he would have to throw everything together at once. He'd be surprised if this in itself didn't kill him. The beast laughed as Athos ran at him, delivering three slashes at the air with his blade, creating devastating wind blades that would carve the earth an athos if precaution was not taken.

However, luck seemed to be on their side. Each step the monster took was slow now, very slow. The ground shattered beneath it's feet but it seemed the outrageous mass of energy that resided within it hadn't had enough time to fully adjust, and was instead weighing him down like a boulder. At least that's what it seemed.

Ichirou clapped his palms together. a green flame like energy bursting from the center of his palms. Every vein in his body lit up like a christmas light, the bright green glow attracting the eyes of the mongrel as Ichirou prepared his attack, "More?! Come on then! I'm as hungry as i've ever been! You beaten down rodents! You're nothing!" he shouted as the air around him seem to fluctuate simply from his rage.

Ichirou would spread his palms apart slowly, the resulting accumulation of all his remaining power taking the form of a Bright green spear betwixt his palms as he extended his arms as far as they went, once that was complete he would drop his arms, panting. His Gelel transformation began to recede from his body starting from his hands and feet, and the glowing spear spun in a circle, hovering in the air in front of him.

He gripped it with his hand, which was normal now. A smoldering emerging as the pure energy burned his skin. He cringed but cocked his arm back, taking aim before using the final strength of his Gelel Transformation to cast the spear forward in a burst of force. The spear traveled fast, shattering the sound barrier as it did. Quietly it moved, and the only sound that coul be heard by Athos was the laughing of the mongrel and Ichirou's shout "Now's our chance! The last chance!" he shouted as he fell to his knees. Panting and returned to his normal state.

The spear would connect with the chest of the monstrosity. who released a loud grunt as if unexpecting the force behind the spear. The explosion that followed was humongous. The light emitted was so bright that it could nearly blind, and the shockwave cracked the entirety of the remaining rockfaces. The explosion erupted in a cylindrical fashion, toward heaven and hell. Carving a deep hole in the ground and splitting the dark clouds that the mongrel had summoned to the area, it was only moments before the red energy would emerge from the beast, whom was suspended in air over the hole created by the blast.

Luckily, Ichirou's calculations had been off, Athos would not have to run through the force of his attack to make his own, as the strenuous amount of power it took for the false stone to absorb such a pure attack, it had actually crafted a veritable tunnel directly to Athos' target, whom was frozen in time as the stone worked it's magic, a mindless vessel waiting to be filled.

It was now or never, this could be it for the mongrel, or for two Old Friends...

It's known that when one uses the Morning Peacock, their fists move so quickly that their hands catch fire, the same can be said about people moving fast enough in the Seventh Gate. Pushing his body, Athos crossed the ground with a speed that created small red flashes to cross over his form, burning away his clothes slightly and leaving singe marks slightly on his skin. It was with this speed he dodged the monster's slices and closed in quickly.

He came up to the beast as Ichirou's attack landed and dove himself forward with all his might. His golden hues locked onto the red target that had the opening around it as he would through all his might behind this punches. He gave a bellowing roar as he began to rain down a furious strain of punches. Fire exploded around his hands as them moved, driving to connect with the beast's power source. His arms were covered in black singe marks as he punched as fast as he could manage, trying to end this beast's life, or so some type of serious damage. He put all he could into those punches.

In the Fury of Athos' punches, the stone attempting to absorb Ichirou's attack, and Ichirou'd debilitated state, there was no way for him to tell if Athos' attack was actually working. That is until a loud screech was emitted, not from the beast, but from the stone.

a shockwave would release that would blow Athos away, as well as much of energy of the attack. It seemed as though things were starting to end as the body of the mongrel descended into the pit that had been formed. That was until all of Ichirou's energy plummeted down the hole behind him. as if drawn directly to him.

The pit would emit a deep green light for a few moments, before subsiding. And then a sound could be heard, followed by the heavy crashing as the mongrel landed on the ground in front of Athos, his sword missing but his body and the exposed stone in tact. Ichirou couldn't believe his eyes, they.. they had lost? Was this it? The two of them barely possessed the strength to continue, and if this attack had failed they were as good as dead. No question about it.

Ichirou pulled himself from the dirt and began to run at the fastest pace he could, which was nothing more than a slow jog. Now in his normal state, he was able to activate his Byakugan though even with it active he could barely see. He focused with all his might on the stone, Was it really still there? Fully functional?

The beast raised it's hand as it's eyes focused on Athos, it clutched it's hand into a fist as the pure amount of chakra gathering in his knuckles could be felt. "Athos!" Ichirou called out as he stumbled, panting and doing his best to keep it together. Then the fist would drop. Faster than attack the beast had thrown thus far, and with enough force to crush a building.

However it didn't connect, instead.. it stopped mere centimeters before his face, the hefty size of the beasts fist blocking out the view of the rest of it's body from this position. Ichirou stopped in place. he looked worried.. but then his worry turned to fear. "RUN! GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE NOW!" he shouted as he turned around. God he hoped Athos could make it out. Ichirou did his best to run, but he wasn't even sure that he could make it.. He saw the slightest crack form in the beasts stone just before he shouted, and he knew that they had won. He knew that the stone would release all the energy pent up inside of it now.

But even though they had won, this wasn't over. Would their lives still be claimed? Even by this defeated opponent..

With perhaps the worst timing, the Seventh Gate's Power exited Athos' body and he grunted in pain. He body was torn, covered in scorch marks and he was ready to take on the strike from the beast, hoping to make it with his life... But then it stopped and the stone started to... Crack?

Oh no. He heard Ichirou scream for him to run but his body was torn apart, he groaned, turning on his feet and starting to run. As he moved, blue flashes appeared around his body. Similar to the flickering chakra of his Saiken Modo, what chakra Saiken pushed into Athos put him into Six Tails Chakra Mode, the form before Saiken Modo. It was only for a few seconds, and it still wasn't fully enough to get Athos out of the range of the attack.

Coming out of such a speed boost so fast with such a beaten up body caused the man to grunt as he launched forward in a starting tumble before the explosion would go off. He would be swept off his feet by the edges of the explosion, before a blur in and air and crashing into the side of a canyon in the distance.

The explosion was massive, the ground itself rose an fell like a wave through the ocean as dust darkened the sky once more, ash rained down upon everything as the tremendous cloud of dust covered the area, visibility was next to none. the canyon had been annihilated, all that was left was flat land, burnt to a desert by the force released from the stone. Athos had flown past Ichirou in his escape, barely making it out of the range of the blast itself though the wave of force that followed behind it would have undoubtedly thrown him amidst the rubble,

Ichirou had barely made it out. a Huge burn now covered the entirety of his right arm and shoulder blade. And not having enough time to recover Gelel energy his regeneration had yet to take care of it. His chakra was next to none, his vision was next to none. There was no doubt they had won, but jesus if it didn't take a toll on Ichirou. Probably Athos too. Ichirou pulled himself from the ground, using a nearby rock for leverage. Reaching into a pouch on his waist to recover a pill container, only to be stabbed in the hand by broken glass.

Cringing in pain he found a vitality pill that had survived the impact. And consumed it before using his teeth to pull out the shard of glass. He rested for a few moments, waiting for the effects of the consumable to set in, finally having it in him to walk on his own, though barely. "Athos!?" he called out, unknown if Athos was anywhere near him. He had no idea how far he'd been thrown from the blast. But he did know one thing, after the release of the chakra stored in the false stone, comes the recollection. when the stone would revert to it's pure state before being placed within an unsuitable vessel, and would be safe to be absorbed by Ichirou.

If only he could find it, he'd be good to go. But where was it?

Perhaps fate was a weird way of making things work, seeing as Athos found himself touched by the explosion, and then a sharp, stabbing pain in his left rib cage. Perhaps it was the monster's last 'fuck you' to the warriors, but the stone had found itself through the ribcage and through Athos.

Laying on his back, body sore and slightly torn from the Seventh Gate, arms singed and beaten, he looked up at the sky. Blood came from the wound on his side, the Gelel Stone Ichirou was looking for lodged somewhere in the ground near Athos, coated slightly in the man's blood. He pressed a hand against his wound and grunted, moving to stand up.

He spat to the side, stumbling as he tried to stand and almost falling, but stopping himself at the last second. He heard Ichi calling, slightly blackened vision looking for the man and finding him, barely, waving his other hand at him but not calling out. That'd hurt to damn much.

"Son of a... ATHOS?!"He called out once more, looking for his friend. Deciding that perhaps he had been thrown into unconsciousness by the blast Ichirou began digging in a separate pouch on his belt, luckily finding half of a chakra pill buried in there, and being careful to avoid getting stabbed once more, ingesting the pill he did his best to search around the area, but the dust was too thick. He could barely see 5 feet in front of him.

A minute or two passed and he had enough chakra to sustain his Byakugan, at least for a few minutes. Long enough to locate his injured friend, and the stone that was not far from him. Ichirou cursed under his breath and made the trek as fast as he could, falling to his knees as he reach the broken athos, stone wedged in his side. "Athos... Thank god you're still alive... We got this.. you're gonna be okay..." he panted as he fumbled for the stone, picking it up and clutching it in his palm for a moment as it was absorbed into his bloodstream, restoring a hefty portion of his Gelel energy. "Okay.. So.. This isn't exactly Iryo Ninjutsu, so don't expect to be dandy when i'm done, but I get this stone out of you, and get you on your feet. Alive." he panted as he scooted on his knees to the side of Athos that had been pierced. The burns upon his back singing but Ichirou focused his Gelel energy as to not heal himself, he could live with this for a bit, Athos was in real danger.

The added boost of the new stone also meant that Ichirou's energy pool would restore faster, so he would be able to repair himself before too long. But for now he has the problem of this stone. He winced in pain as he gripped the stone with both hands. "You got a little strength left buddy? I could use some help getting this out of you.." he requested as he looked up at Athos, his byakugan deactivated by this point.

Athos was grateful to see his friend, falling to his knees himself once the man had gotten close enough. Talking was too much of a pain right now but the man nodded his head as Ichirou spoke, and then asked his question. He hands came to grip the sides of the stone, taking a deep breath as he would prepared to pull at it with his friend.

Once they would pull the stone from his wound, blood would gush out for a moment before slightly starting to pool out. All Athos needed Ichirou to do was stop the bleeding, hopefully his stone could do that, because Athos arms screamed in pain when he pulled the rock and he wasn't going to be able to apply pressure to his wound.
