Eden CreedConnor Ryoji

The Barking Dog: { https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0AvO0oBmUA }

He carried a vacant mind set Yet, held with indefinite intentions - it bodied the sole impairment of this all so numb age that swoled into a incorporeal government with intangible power whom existence fed solely off the mind of a nocturnal adrenaline. For, what some may some  consider a dream - He considered a reality. Stuck on persistent affairs pushed with little to no drive; The blackest knight - stood at the darkest hour reckoned with thoughts that only seemed to go away at the hint of dawn.

His; emerald green hues broadened at the scent of blackened meat- One of the only the the streets of K-city didn’t bleed of which usually is  Sin, piss and freshly dealt corpses, he kept a kempt appearance as his steps peddled across the cracks that danced along the pavement. He remained in a rather large black coat - with fur that held an appearance of the skin of a Royale Bear; it seated firmly amongst his athletic built. His steel toed belts ; left slight hints of whispers that went off like a small “Clink” - his hands showing little to no skin as it remained in cover by a latex black. His hair which represented the wings of ravens just slightly reaching below the ear. It broadened the light tan heavens beach sand skin of his - and his chiseled white teeth. “ It’s quieter than usual, tonight.”

 Were the words that rolled off his tongue at the request of his gentle vocals with a hint of a greatly envied masculinity. “ Pish posh you piece of shit. “ came a cry - it came off groggy and lacked a sense of mind- out came a man whom looked like he was exiled from the shadows for they can barely take the stench pouring from his skin. “ You ! “ The man said - his beard a dirty white - his tips a blackened gray. His feat bare, so was his hands which looked as dirty as his beard. His jacket in bits of pieces; scraps and holes riddled it’s dark brown appearance. “ Oh, I oughta ! “ The man continued before stumbling forward while failing to present a well formulated fist; it touched the chest of the Eden - but his gaze did not budge as he shunned the man with a sigh of pity.

“ Scram old man.” Eden; softly sighed as the man persistently enough threw another punch - which Eden swiftly caught with little to no effort. “ I rather not stain my blade with your blood; so do yourself a favor and clean yourself up. “ Eden requested as he dropped a roll of change into the palm of the old man. “Now leave.” Eden commanded the old man who simply stared at him with beaded eyes - and an emotionless face. “ You still have much to learn child of Rowan. “

The man quickly stated at before grabbing a dagger from his belt and quickly dragging it across the scape of his throat. Eden back peddled at the site of tainted rose red flooding from the open gash amongst his throat and his lips - quickly he collapsed before Eden - the young knight shedding his sights among the man simply walked past him - knowing he was one of his grandfathers men whom was so dedicated in having him take his spot one day when he can no longer lead the The Sacred Courts of Rowan. “ Well that was comforting. “ Eden softly said before seating his hands firmly in his pockets - “ I wonder what that old bastards up too - apparently no good since he still have men offing himself for him in the 22nd century.” Eden quickly stopped in his steps before aiming his sights at the moon which peaked from behind the heavy clouds - this was the only entity Eden knew that so many looked up too that would hide behind peasants such as clouds as it overshadowed thousands upon thousands of balls of plasma and gas dancing around its vast void of space.

“ Eden. he’s near I smell him. “ Saru softly said in which Eden stopped in his steps. “ What’re you going on about ? who ? “ Eden whispered leaning his lips to the side a bit refraining from inviting unwelcomed attention. “ My brother - Washi; I smell him everywhere.. “ Saru responded. “ Sorry Saru, I’m not too big on Family reunions, as you can tell. “ Eden stated in an annoyed tone as he continued to walk. “ Fool ! It's not that - traces of him flood from that Homestead It’s just he’s a vessel to a family which isn’t keen to my taste; and I’d rather not invest in another quarrel with my brother. “ Saru responded, It was as if Eden had completely ignored the reason Saru brought up the scent of his brother in the first place. “ Hm, really ? He sounds strong, let's go pay him a visit then. “ Eden quickly responded. “ You incompetent fool ! did you not just hear what I said !” Saru exclaimed “ Heard you ? Not really - but if it makes you feel any better you definitely got my attention. “ Eden quickly responded “ Tsk; why is your death suddenly starting to sound like music to my ear. Maybe, just maybe I’ll be transported to a more competent Creed. “ Saru growled. “ Oh, come on ! I know you don’t mean that and besides knowing my family I doubt that’ll ever happen ! “ Eden swiftly said before railing his foot back and smashing it through the doors of the Homestead. “ I heard one of you are or know someone powerful ! Tell me who he is or I'm burning this place to the ground !"

The nighttime passing them by as Connor had her throat in his grip, pinning her thick creamy body down against the bed and going to town on her insides. The moment eden kicked the door down and shouted what he shouted Connor didn’t even bat an eye as he continued slamming his hips into hers when suddenly washi said something in his head that brought something to his attention. “Connor…I think…I think my little brother is here to visit.” Connor grunted a few more times before pushing his hips into hers and letting out a thick load of baby gravy inside of her cunt before pulling himself out and rubbing the back of his neck wiping sweat from it. “Sorry Washi what? I told you I don’t like some dudes voice in my head while I’m stroking here! Wait…you say little brother?” Washi appeared bedside him and nodded. “Saru…I recognize that scent anywhere.  The smell of whoopee cushions and rotten bannanas. It’s funny because even  being the middle child he often made fun of me for my choice in fashion.” Connor stood up to put on a pair of grey sweat pants, with some socks and nike flip flops to top it off. He put on a black wife beater and a black hoodie since it was somewhat chilli out. “Think he’s here for a friendly family reunion?” “Doubt it. I will say though be careful…I think this one is an Oni. Like an ONI not an Onihoruda.” Connor blinked. “What? Impossible those stages take time especially for one of you guys. Who the hell could just breeze through that kind of thing.”

Connor made his way downstairs. The federation was empty at this time, as Connor often gives the boys nights off to go do whatever. He doesn’t believe in over working yourself. As he came down the stairs he recalled what he’d heard. “Listen here buddy I don’t know who the fuck you think you a-“ Connor looked at the man infront of him and tilted his head. “NO fucking way.” Connor sniffed the air. “Eden Muthafuckin’ Creed. Welcome to the Oni family you pretty son of a bitch.” Connor took note of Eden’s hairstyle and looked him up and down. “I see you ditched the pompadour since high school. Got you some chin hair now and shit.” A ghostly image of Washi would’ve appeared beside Connor in full view for eden to see. Since he too was an Oni he could see it in plain view and vice versa for Connor being able to see Saru If he chose to be seen. Washi stuffed his hands into his pockets and looked at Eden and Saru through his yellow tinted glasses. “Evening Saru. I see your stench now passed to your host. Rather…alluring to say the least.” Washi spoke with a sarcasim. “Hey Hey. I don’t have time for all of that crap.” Connor looked at Eden. His red hues  gillmering for a fight as he popped his neck from side to side. “You came here looking for the strongest well here I am tough guy. In the flesh and better than ever. So Mr.Creed.” Connor would’ve spoken while letting an almost synical grin spread across his face. “You gonna let me take this outside so I don’t damage my property or you trying to square up right here bro.”

Connor kept his hands by his sides, but his fingers twitched. His body was lax but the look in his eyes was one of a battle hardened youth who’d seen some shit in his day. He was more than ready to take him on in this establishment though he’d prefer not to. If eden let them go outside Connor would’ve nodded to the door and lead the both of them to the back ally street where Connor would flick his nose and take his stance. If they didn’t go outside, Connor would’ve taken the same stance the moment eden gave the intent to attack.

[7:45:09 PM] The Forsaken One: The instant the weight of Eden’s foot had landed on the base of the door - a breeze of debris would had plummeted through the room; His expectations at that moment remained at it’s peak,he’d expect a warrior whom would have awaited him - one of ashen hair and a jagged edge scar which narrowed down at the peak of his right eye; a scar that screamed centuries of war. One, that spoke the loudest - even in a void full of silence. But - to his surprise, Eden met no such thing. “ There’s nothing - Saru, what game are you playing here ?” He’d whisper a sense of curiosity had developed at the pit of his stomach pinching from his  insides. It was then - he’d come across a fatal sound; a dying cat ?

No. It couldn’t be; the deeper Eden advanced into the room - the clearer the sound. Eden's, eyes broadened as it came more to light of exactly what it was he was hearing. Sex ? - Eden snarled before allowing his arms to lay beyond his waist setting his attention to the stairs. Stairs - that settled in footsteps. Upon, the conclusion of the steps - there’d be standing Connor Ryoji - It’s been years since they last laid eyes on each other and Eden wouldn’t have complained if there remained a few more. But, sadly time didn’t work to his advantage.

 “ It’s you - again. “ Eden, allowed a gentle “tch” before settling his foot back. “ Alright; Saru - what is this ? “ Eden scoffed back at Saru whom simply replied to him in utter silence - before allowing a projection of himself in contest with the one of his brother. His - hues a bloody baron red - ashen hair had encompassed the outer layers of his face - his rather large feet severely exposed as Ashen hair danced between his toes.

“ Heh, - still stuck on that damn smell are you brother. Well, I see your fashion taste still has space for several improvements. “ He’d tease in response to Washi’s comment before jetting his eyes towards the boy - Connor Ryoji. “ Hm, I thought the job of us Oni’s were to improve our host - from the looks it - he’s look  just as colorblind as you - Brother.’ Saru added - followed by a light sigh which crept from Edens lips. “ Now - Now ladies - remember who’s the ones fighting here. “  Eden remarked before pulling the rather large coat off of  his back. The potent structure of his muscles, seeped through his tank top - symbolising the smudging view of rocks at the company of a volcanic flame along with molten rocks bleeding at it’s core.

a brief hinge of silence broke across the amniosty that held the room by it's balls at the weight of Connors question. Along - the sudden lift of Eden's brow came a sudden but stabled chuckle. He’d turn back to where the door once stood and following that came a burst of laugher. “ Who do you think I am ?! A DBZ Villian ?! “ Eden - would have shouted and within that instant before allowing Connor to settle in his response.

The Forsaken One: Eden with all his might would have acquainted his arms up before the firmness of his pecs; quickly dragging the weight of his arms back to the point the narrow ends of his elbows would have been seated firmly beneath the warmth of chest. His hands filling in the spaces between each other - as they implanted amongst  each other's base in a somewhat Domino formation - the thumb and index finger of each hand sensually pressed together while aimed and narrowed high - pointing at the brink of the first four descending stairsteps. “ HA ! “ Eden would have shouted before a vast quantity of air would have circulated at the peak of those two fingers allowing a hint of purple to uprise at its center. A violet - orchid purple flourishing at its center - as its size began to double by the minute.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HunUAYW1dpI )

A purple bubble of chi would have formulated at Edens tip and within seconds as it grew the appropriate size - meeting the size of a basketball Eden would have shot it forward and within moments it would have darted forward at extreme  speeds; If successful; it would have blasted a hole into the stairs where Connor once stood. “You’re going to have to move me ! “ Eden shouted ..

“ Tch.” Eden darted his beaded eyes at Connor as all sign of humanity seeped through the offerings of his gaze; using the hint of the moonlight that struck through the fourth spectrum of the  bernese glass window `that Connor stood before; ( Using Environment to my advantage - you taught me that xD )  Eden would have quickly charged forward while calculating his every step; “ 1,2 1,2 “ He repeatedly said as the weight of his steps struck cracks at his feet only to have presented a trail of smoke to whom the persistent Son of Rowan  failed to acknowledge as he quickly chose to stop mid field; more specifically a good five feet away from Connor, In his eyes if successful he would have simply vanished - but due to Edens rubber physique Eden’s speed is enhanced and  has been greatly increased far past one of Superhuman attributes - thus allowing him to have been unseen when he’d simply leapt from his position off the wall -  to the back of  Connor

It was all a matter of Physics; As Eden charged with his body tilted forward allowing his waist to remain superior to just above his knees . He’d been preparing himself into free fall position - but having been acted on by air resistance . Eden swiftly; tricked his body into falling onto the side of his arm- being rubber gravity acted differently upon him to  where regularly it would have been Eden was running forward - he forced his body to think that it was running sideways across a wall allowing his body to be branched off to the far wall; Acknowledging; the formation he’d chosen for his steps it’ll resemble  a right angle - his body had hit an 85 degree This, acted greatly on Edens offensive side - considering his velocity and initial height this could have been executed in 0.8 seconds. So, If Successful; Eden would have simply charged towards Connor stopping mid field only to have allowed his body to free fall to the far wall and quickly bounce back thus cutting the time it usually would take had Eden traveled those final steps in reaching Connor if he’d simply charged forward.

If Successful, Upon reaching Connor from behind - Eden would have attempted to lay the weight of his arm upon Connor's neck - but not extended slightly bent. So, if Successful, Eden would only swiftly reel his arm back at great speeds aiming to knock the brash toughness of Eden's chi consisted elbow into Connor's collar bone - which felt like getting your fill of a bullet at point blank. If, Successful, if not had fractured Connors collarbone this would have left sever bruising - while forcing Connor to stagger forward. Whether this was successful or not - Eden would quickly backpedal - before lunging forward again at that same instant before attempting to force the head of his foot into the back of Connor's left knee which if successful would have rocked Connors knee forward allowing Eden to follow up by intertwining his leg with his before attempting to spin himself forward by using Connors left arm to keep his balance.

If, successful - this would allow Eden to play out the rest of the combo. At, that moment - Eden would have been face to face with Connor - using thunderous boxing - Eden would have hunched his weight downwards dropping his torso just slightly above his waist before attempting to launch two swift jabs into connor's left then right rib; he’d quickly follow that up by swiftly ducking but allowing his fingers to extend attempting to have them penetrate Connors nostrils - this time extending them deeper to the point tears fled his face.

 If successful Eden would have attempting to lunge himself upwards allowing his shoulder to connect with connor's jaw in a somewhat uppercut format with the weight of a monster truck. If successful, Connor would have been knocked back allowing Eden to reel his legs in and end it with a spin kick to the chest - which if successful , would have set Connor hurling through the wall - if not successful Eden would have simply lunged back getting into his thunderous boxing stance.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f\_pBrCyJPk&index=2&list=PLYNBny7IRlVka5wfhbJrzQjPogaU9shs7 ) Connor would’ve stood there and watched eden move his hands and his fingers into some strange pattern or pose he knew nothing about. What he did know about was chi gathering and he could see the almost opaque clear pink chi that had gathered and then formed into a bubble? “Not this bubble shit again.” Connor saw the bubble leave his hands however and all of the play play demeanor went straight out of the window! Connor saw the bubble impact his stairs and make them explode. “…..” Connor merely narrowed his eyes at Eden when he said that Connor would’ve had to make him leave. “Okay buddy. Bring that ass over here…” Connor took his stance but what happened next took him a bit…off guard you could say.  Eden legitimately disappeared from Connor’s view! Poof! Gone! Vanished! Connor however kept a keen face. “Fast, really fucking fast. I got this though, he moves similar to how Tetsu did.” Connor kept his eyes straight ahead. In the instance Eden had jumped off of the wall Connor had no sight of it. What he did note is that the moment eden vanished, Connor’s red eyes would’ve had a particular gleam to them. A certain tint if you will. That’s because he’d activated a passive ability just for past people like eden himself: The Eagle Eyes.

This is a breif period of time Connor's natural physiology radiates in harmony as his Koikonjitto brain works in conjunction with Washi's natural form as a griffin, a bird wing legs. Eagles have eye sight 8x better than a human, this is because they have to swoop in and dive to catch their prey which is usually fish or incredibly small and quick animals. They also have a heightened fight or flight instinct, as during their freefall dives their reaction time amps up for the kill. as such when using this ability Connor can sense all the variables of any situation, predict the outcomes and what choices one should make to reach the conclusion they want. When utilizing this ability, they sense paths projected in front of them, illuminating possible courses of action, they can then foresee the best tactic, and accelerate themselves along that path. The user's mind and senses process information at such speeds that time appears to have slowed down, allowing them to perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see and respond accordingly. but the true gift of this is the ability to see vibrations in the air. During his study Ochigi concluded that Connor's skin during this lapse becomes hypersensitive. This allows his skin to rapidly pick up on changes in air pressure/vibrations in the air from a 360 degree radius, and snuff out which source of the vibrations are the strongest. This is used defensively as in case of a fast attack or a blindside, Connor's sense of  touch would conjoin with his sight, allowing him to make a mental image of his opponents posistioning, posture, and sense of speed via the rapidness of the vibrations. This works majority of the time, as even a simiple motion such as breating sends out feint vibrations through the air. While everything matter wise emits a frequency and vibrations what ever sends the most amount of vibrations out is usually the fastest moving object. (*Can be used 5 times in a battle situation. Semi-passive requires no charge.)*

The true beauty of this physical perk is that Connor can not only pinpoint fast moving bodies, but fast moving body parts. The part, for example a punch, will send out the most vibrations because it is thrown to be swift, fast and deadly. As such, when Eden had came from behind Connor would’ve miraculously countered by!....doing nothing. In fact Connor felt eden’s arm bent against the back of his neck, even as he could see his motions he trusted his durability enough to handle the strain and when Eden’s elbow came down on his collar bone he was very much so right to. The impact left a massive bursing but it would’ve taken more than that to crush one of Connor’s bones. During Keyth Tasanagi’s training he massive impacts he took, actually micofractured almost all of his skeletal system, and forced it to heal, in turn making the bones tougher. Connor's skeletal structure is at most 3x tougher than that of a peak human's bone structure, meaning his physical defense is much better than before as well to complement his muscles. The areas that have increased bone density are but are not limited to: Radius, Tibula/Fibula, Patella, and his skull, which in turn, does allow Connor to at least dent mid-grade metals with his head.

That being said the impact did hurt as Connor grunted in response and went stumbling forward for a moment. He was about to turn around but felt a kick to the back of his left knee, which buckled Connor slightly! Eden using his body like a jungle gym to maneuver around him, with leg twines and spins, until he’ d finally come face to face with Connor! While eden used Connor to manvuer, Connor used the force eden put on him to catch his own balance! When Eden came in at close range Connor gave a sick smirk, only to utter. “You done fuuuuuuuucked up.” Close quarters game was Connor’s literal comfort zone. He loved being in on his opponent as the options he’d had thanks to his kenpo and muay thai training were near limitless. As such having perfect clarity of sight, Connor instinctively raised his hands by his sides like a thai boxer would, a small window being crated with his forearms that showed his face. The room dimly lit with the moon from the window and the open door way would’ve let connor see eden’s attack even more. When Eden sent out the two jabs meant for both sides of his ribs, Connor would’ve simply hunched in forward closer to eden, not enough to headbutt him but enough to lower his arms, so his jabs hit the base of the fold that is his elbow on the side. The impacts were blocked by these parts of Connor’s arm as each time he felt an impact he’d let out a “Sss” noise effect making sure to breathe to keep stamina. When Eden attempted to lunge his fingers into Connor’s nostrils, Connor got his opportunity right there!

When Eden actually ducked to attempt his finger lunge, Connor would’ve used his left arm to shift it forward and out, deflecting eden’s arm by actually shoving his forearm into the side of eden’s attacking arm and sending it wayward! SIMULTANOIUSLY to that however Connor had been spinning his right wrist in a circle before he’d lash it out towards the left side of Eden’s face! Specifically where the jaw connects to the skull portion of the head! The speed of this curved punch for someone of Connor’s demeanor was incredible! Connor’s arm taking the form of a fleshy whip as he attempted to land this counter punch and if he did it’d have rocked eden’s head to its right side! However it would’ve been unlike Connor to stop as using Eden’s lowered position weather the punch hit or not Connor would’ve thrown 5 punches after that! 4 jabs, starting with the left hand that alternated from left, right, left right, and the final 5th hit would’ve been an attempted left haymaker that moved at the SAME speed as Connor’s jabs, which could be clocked in at a fifth of a second! If the jabs hit, they;d only agitate the pain on Eden’s face, even worsen the bruise that is/isn’t there (depending of if that punch ha hit or not). Each punch thrown after the other weather they’d been blocked or dodged, but if the haymaker with the left hand had Connected, it’d have had enough force to send Eden’s body staggering backwards into the wooden wall not far behind him and stunning him for only a single second! Their positioning now in front of the door, eden had kicked in (in front of the open door basically) Connor perused his opponent! If the jab did connect Connor would’ve moved to eden if as he stumbled backwards and attempted to slip both of his hands behind the back of Eden’s neck and interlock his fingers in an attempt to trap Eden in a muay thai clench! If this was successful, which using the stun of a second to approach him, Connor would’ve attempted to send 4 knees into Eden’s body: Two of them preformed by attempting to pull eden’s head down low enough so Connor could reach his knee up to knee eden in his face once with each knee, and the other to knee’s aimed at Eden’s diaphragm! If any of these knees connected eden would either suffer a loss of breath or a broken nose on impact (depending on what’s taken). Connor would’ve continued holding this clench and throwing knee after knee weather they were failed attempts or not. The most difficult part is that Connor’s attack speed with all of his limbs rivaled that of his punching which was fast in itself.

A side disclaimer to be noted is that if Eden had indeed defended against the haymaker with a close range dodge or a block, Connor would’ve went straight for the clench attempt, allowing it to flow as listed in attempt.

[3:00:33 AM] The Forsaken One: It had felt as if he’d been attempting to jab his way into the core of a punching bach; Connor's hands at his sides hurling “S’s” with the might of his tongue. Solid fist and a pair of gritted teeth would have been all Eden had going for himself as he launched those jabs at Connors sides. But, surely it wasn’t enough - within seconds Eden would have lunged downwards attempting to drop his body downwards before extending his finger into his nostrils - but before he was able to successful launch this attack he was blocked by the base of Connor's arm. /impossible./ he would have thought - quickly bringing to thought of swiftly advancing backwards in attempt to avoid anything else that may not go as plan.

But, sadly - he was too late before he’d been able to escape - Eden would have been rocked to the side by the incriminating force of a barbaric punch; - a pool of blood fell from his lips the moment the second set of punches came in. His head had been rocked into several different positions - but for some odd reason he’d smile through it all. “ ha.. ha ! “ Eden softly chuckled while his body had staggered back - before he could respond Eden had felt the rough tenderness of Connor's hands at the back of his neck; with the weight of Connors body followed Edens neck - as he’d been seated with front seats to the several kicks connor would have sent hurling off to his face - a crimson river peeled the Creeds face starting from his nose galloping at his feet; at the conclusion of these series of attacks

Eden would have stumbled back - still attempting; Under the influence of his Mental Chi - though it been blurry at the time Eden had been able to map out a blueprint of the room while pin pointing where Connor last stood. “ My turn -.. “ Eden would have said in a low ghostly but cynical voice as he stood in place allowing his body to waver side to side - halting his shoulders his hair would have masked his face as a flood of blood fell from his cheeks making his appearance just as cynical as his prior comment - while halting his shoulders up Eden would have took in a deep breath as his beach tanned skin gave off a slight glow ass it been in the midst of broadening; this would have been the effects of Impact Absorption - with this ability alone Eden had been able to absorb a perfectly inelastic collision, an object struck by a projectile will deform, and this deformation will absorb most, or even all, of the force of the collision.

 He can also absorb physical impacts such as punches and kicks, weaponry such as swords, bullets and hammers or even explosions. “ My turn ? .. “ Eden would have swiftly stated without allowing a second to break between his comment and series of attacks;/ Everyone has a weak point./ Eden would have snickered - before bending his arms at his waist and before Connor was able to get a hint of what Eden had been in the midst of doing he’d be attempting to  launch all he had all in one go - The Ora -  The " Ora " Is a simple series of punches with impressive timing and speed. This alit relies on Distance acceleration force mass and kinetic energy,

The distance, in this case, represents the distance that the fist must travel, from its initial resting point to the point of contact. It would be tempting to write this off as a constant, as the distance – which is the length of the arm – remains relatively unchanged for each individual ( Excluding Eden, who has an increased chances of succeeding with this attack due to being able to extend his limbs, Thus making the timing between each hits no longer than 1/3 of a second. ) But, for each ands any other individual their length would remain the same.

( unless granted with ability to extend) Therefore, This attack is best counted for against your enemies frontal lobe,which is most closely associated with controlling responses to input from the rest of the system. They are responsible for voluntary movement, emotion, planning and execution of behavior, intellect, memory, speech, and writing. The Key behind this attack is by making your enemies see more punches then there really are.For example, Due to recent studies Participants looked at a series of slides portraying geometric shapes

[3:01:21 AM] The Forsaken One:

They were later shown a second set of test slides – two of the test slides contained images from the original group of slides, two contained images that were obviously not part of the original set, and one slide contained the lure image – a shape very similar to all of those shown in the original slide set, but one that wasn't actually part of the original set. Coming down to the conclusion that "False images can be created using visual stimuli with minimal language input,

""This suggests that visual false images can be induced pretty easily "People are susceptible to verbal false images , whether it's something that was actually said or an object they have a mental description of, Thus leading to the ability to induce false images which extends beyond the language system – if it also affects the visual system, even when the images aren’t easily verbalized. It appears that the ability to create false images does extend beyond language. Thus leading to the combat behind this attack. To successfully land the "ORA " Each punch must be timed accordingly.

Also, Punches shouldn't be reverted all the way back stretching you're back muscles could help withstand the temptation of pulling you're arm back. Each punch should bend at the elbow alone and quickly revert back to the face of the enemy. The Key of this attack is to use speed to trick you're enemy into seeing a variety of punches coming his way. Thus, moving forward while he/she moves back without the knowledge of them doing so.

Only- this had been Eden's greatest Ora yet ! - in the midst of absorbing all the impact he’d been receiving Eden would have swiftly gave it all back - with the addition of strength as well through a series of punches. All, had been presented forward at heightened Speed - all without a second between them. “ ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA” Eden shouted attempted at connecting with those series of punches which covered a wide field - which meant that if one were to try to evade these punches it would have to be executed faster than the speed of the punches themselves and far away - more than 3 feet to be exact. Whether, this attempt were to successfully execute or fail - would not stop Eden from following through with his next choice of attacks - Instead of pulling his extended arms back Eden would have latched both his hands at the back of Connor's neck at an attempt at holding him as he did him in a muay thai clench Eden would had attempted to bury his fingers into Connor's skin attempt to add duration to the time he had- if successful Eden would have aimed the sharper edge of his right knee - and somewhat like a sling shot - shoot his body forward at heightened speed at a staggering Connor ( If he’d been hit with Ora) if successful -  Eden would have been smashing the center point of the blunt force of his knee  into Connor's nose caving his face in. However, If the he chose not to allow the knee to connect Eden pulling them into a knee to the face of his own.( If hands successful latched the back of his neck- Either way, The ending will be nasty.

If this were successful, Connor would have received severe bruising if not sustaining mild injury along with a broken nose. As, his body had been in a staggering position if successfully hit - Eden would have attempted to slant his body at a somewhat obtuse angle - launching the density of his left leg with an attempt at having it meet the the mid neck slightly above the collarbone.

If, successful while Connor had been gasping for breathe Eden would have Twisted his body to the right before attempting at swinging his  backfist towards Connors jaw, only to then twist his body back to the right, coming across with a swift right haymaker - if successful Connor would have literally been knocked on his ass; after receiving several injuries - ( if attacks had hit) Eden would had pressed his leading foot forward before dropping his hips and getting into stance. However, if Edens combos had not been successful from the point he attempted to latch onto Connor's neck - Eden would simply continue to use thunderous boxing by sending a flourishing array of jabs instead.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Im8D05ETuF0&index=44&list=PLYNBny7IRlVka5wfhbJrzQjPogaU9shs7 )Connor would’ve felt his hits connecting! He smiled as the feeling of fist against flesh and bone as almost as good as an aphrodisiac to him! He was at home on the battle field and it was as comforting to him as sitting in his living room watching cartoons all day! He felt knee after knee connect but that’s also when Connor began to feel something…something odd. His eyes caught sight of Eden’ skin glowing. “Eh?” he thought. He didn’t think much of it until…his hits felt. Odd. Before hand he could feel the impacts kicking in, stirring around and actually getting somewhere. Thanks to his many years of fighting Connor knew a good “clean hit” from one that wasn’t as clean and as Eden’s skin glowed, Connor figured something was up. “Some kind of…defense maybe, I don’t know.” Connor could only muster that thought however as Eden mustered something form his lips. “ My turn ? .. “ “Wh-“ Connor didn’t even get to so much as finish as he suddenly found himself seeing double…triple… Quadruple…whatever the hell comes after that all Connor knew is that he saw a lot of damned fist everywhere.

Connor blinked with what little time he had before uttering. “Fuck me.” Connor took the FULL blunt of this Ora attack eden had used! His body looked like it was convulsing and having multiple seizures in multiple areas, as his body took hit after hit, after hit! Jerking in every which direction and this guy hit harder than a freight train! Sweet shit, Tasangi’s punches hurt like a mother fucker but that was for training. Eden meant to hurt Connor, to harm him, to make him bleed and physically suffer!...which in itself would’ve been a terrible thing had it been anyone else in the world BUT Connor. After taking the full blunt of these punches, Connor with amazing resilience…or stupidity. Managed to remain standing with his natural durability as an Oni and his stubborn unwillingness to give up left him in a somewhat staggered state. That’s when he felt Eden’s arms grasp and dig into his back side using him as a literal post before Eden had slung himself forward with his knee pointed towards Connor and WHAM!!! The Knee connected and as sickening noise breaking sound would’ve emanated through the room! The fight should’ve been over at this point, but no. Eden would’ve known better, know Connor MUCH better. Had he noticed Connor literally did nothing at this point to defend himself, not even in the slightest. Was he taking all of the attacks lying down? Or was there a stroke of genius in this Neanderthal brunette?

Well contrary to popular belief for as brash and abrasive as he his Connor makes up for it in not being all that stupid. Connor is currently at 50% with his brains potential which thanks to Keyth's training has caused an odd change in mental state for Connor. Personality wise he is still a bumbling idiot with a loud mouth and little reason, but Connor can "switch" so to speak, to a complete state of mental calm and focus, where his mind mimics the process of neurogenesis, allowing his brain cells to connect, remember memories, learn, and apply his knowledge to physical and mental degrees with near perfect replication. Connor can process near limitless amounts of information, without any hindrances or backlashes of information. He has the capability to process an great number of simultaneous calculations, allowing him to identify all the variables in any theoretical situation by instantly recombining all information’s he has on them. Connor also can gather and assimilate any kind of knowledge and understand it fully and instantaneously after only one view/experience, this can happen mainly *Passively*: when Connor reads, sees or hears any concept at least once they will understand it completely, whether it is natural or supernatural in nature, as long as it's explained or he experiences it physically or mentally. If the he comes into contact with any piece of “information” that is wrong, as long as he's experienced it before, and is able to process it, he can intuitively know this and can discern what is correct and what is wrong. This brain potential can increase in the right situations and stipulations.

This being apart of his retarded brilliance, Connor also possesses something else that would’ve explained the entire reason he did nothing but take damage this entire combination to this point. Connor while being an oni yes, in his technical terns he was a Hanyo. On a physical level, most Hanyō become more powerful as the user receives damage from his opponents, environment or from himself. Depending on which user has this ability, the user can be empowered by physical damage, mental damage or soul damage, this includes resistance to these attacks as well. Lethal damage can give a near maximum boost on the attacks of the user of this ability, especially if healed afterwards or during recovery. Connor as speculated is a special case however, as he’s not JUST a Hanyō so to speak, but his Koikonjitto being which is a ***strong human soul***, completely complements his ability and grants a natural chi booster, giving the user a high amount of energy seemingly limitless. It’s comparable to a small percentage of what Densuke Mifunae’s chi level was when he was Connor’s age, which was incredibly high even amongst the higher tiers of the second generation. Connor can also become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. by quintessential negative emotions, such as anger, hatred, sadness, envy, depression, arguments, fear, etc. of oneself and others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers. He can even draw sustenance from the negative emotions or even slow or stop aging. He’s been feeling this for quite some time subconsciously . Connor has expanded on this ability, quite well over two years, now able to lock on and track specific negative emotions by feel alone, and is able to track a single signature and cut out all else, for up to 30 feet away from his area. His accuracy has become so vivid, he can even discern a person's attacks by the feeling of malice towards a specific body part of his own now.

Every single blow that Eden had thrown towards Connor’s body while it did hurt and leave red whelps on the surface of his body, each hit was metabolized into Connor’s physical being! The rapid fire punches of this “ora” technique Connor was sure to remember he could do, would’ve pumped that perk of his body to the extreme. While he hadn’t hit a new plateau just yet each of this hits accumulate enough to push Connor’s durability even higher than it was at the start of their exchange. Connor knew Eden had the strength to give him the boost he needed. The only thing that concerned Connor was the fact that Eden had something…similar going on with him. Some kind of way to metabolize his like he did and redistribute them. However Connor believed himself a tad higher as to being able to fully hone that energy and sustain it rather than using it for a boost. As such when Eden came in for the Knee to the face Connor perpetually “ate that shit” as some call it. His nose was crooked, but nothing he couldn’t pop back in place. His nose was leaking but he liked the taste of his own blood. What Eden would’ve found odd is that the knee fully connected, but Connor’s body didn’t budge a single inch. As Such, still using his Eagle eyes he could still see and when Eden went to throw his next kick attack Connor lashed his arms out and attempted to grab Eden by his waist! Moving his head to the outside direction of the knee that was once in his face and allowing the kick to miss completely since Connor’s head wasn’t in range of the kick any longer and now he’d have Eden locked in his arms, in a pseudo power bomb hold. If successful because of positioning Eden would’ve felt Connor’s strength first hand…and he’d notice the difference. Connor’s grip was solid! The hold he’d have on Eden’s waist would’ve begun to make a crushing tightening sound effect as Eden would’ve been getting a similar sensation of getting his hips compressed in the back of a garbage truck! This might not be an issue for his absorbent skin properties but it would at least secure the fast one in place. Connor had some bruises on his face and a red mark on his nose but what stood out most was the battle lust in his eyes! “THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT CREED!”

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNxNXNxaUQk&list=PLYNBny7IRlVka5wfhbJrzQjPogaU9shs7&index=22 Getting real 90’s in here.) Connor would’ve attempted to squat down for a second and as he did Eden would’ve been able to feel the draft winds pick up as Connor drew the winds in and expelled them underneath his feet using what’s known as a Micro Push! This isn't so much as a new ability, but more so another way to use an ability Connor already had complete mastery over. During his bout with Daisuke Yun, Connor & Washi discovered that they could instead of preforming Connor's full on Pusshu Bakufu, could instead use less compressed and shortened versions of it, as "micro pushes" of air pressure to propel himself, or repel himself in various directions. These mini push blast can be fired from the very pours of connor's body, or any open hole exposed to the surface, allowing Connor to push his body in any direction he may will it to. As demonstrated in his semi-final bout he could use the micro push and achieve a false form of flight, which is really just him exerting the push blast beneath his feet over and over again to stay air borne. Unlike the full power push blast, these do not exert a glow, but more so have the appearance of a blurred boom of air pressure that explodes from Connor's body. These are short ranged and can only be fired from the surface of Connor, and not long distances. To specify, he could at most range an omnidirectional push blast about 10 feet away from his position, for a minimum, but nothing over 20 feet in range like he can with his regular push blast. Thanks to these being the result of such small and minute chi usage, Connor can use these micro push frequently and as often as he sees fit to do so. These should not be mistaken as harmless, as Connor CAN tie them in with his physical combat. He can even fuse this ability with his Seikuken ability to expand on his radius of sensory for a brief moment in time.

That being said he and Eden would’ve went SOARING through the roof of the three story establishment! Essentially now being over 50 feet in the air and Eden would’ve had a pretty good view of the starry night in front of them however it would’ve come quick! The mico push accelerated them at the speed of a bullet, so by the time they’d have reached the peak of his height Eden would’ve most likely noticed when they got there! Just as quick as that peak was hit, Connor emitted another micro push form his backside but this one spanned 10 feet in diameter from his body and the two of them would’ve went crashing down to the ground, Connor attempting to literally power bomb Eden on his back side as the both moved at DOUBLE the speed of a bullet via the gravity assisting in the drop! (The average bullet travels at 2,500 feet per second around 1,700 mph so double that is 3,400mph).

Connor as stated however was a very smart cookie. At the peak of their ascension, Connor would’ve attempted one more trick to make sure this next maneuver hurt. In the midst of this since his natural chi affinity was destruction he’d lace his arms in destruction chi, as such when the powerbomb attempted would’ve been performed, had Eden attempted the maneuver he used earlier to try and absorb the impact, the destruction chi Connor used around his arms would’ve effected the part of contact i.e Eden’s middle back, and the area a few inches above and below the horizontal middle of his back (specifically above and below the rib cage). In doing so Connor would’ve attempted to destroy the special chi dermal layer’s mandarin’s with his own destruction chi to ensure that if this move Connected Eden if his spine wasn’t completely snapped in two, was at least bent crooked and impaired his movement throughout this fight! Connor was aware of Eden’s skillset with this “bubbles.” Aware he could more than likely defend himself even in this predicament but it was worth a shot. If his back connected to the ground a crater 10 feet wide and 5 feet deep would’ve emerged and even with no severed or snapped spine, the inertia and velocity would’ve at least left the feeling of jet leg in his opponent enough to give Connor time to capitalize! “You think you punch fast buddy!” Connor with the quickness of a MMA fighter would’ve released Eden’s waist, slipping through the between of his legs fast enough to put his knees on both side’s of Eden’s waist and put him in  a full mount position. “Let me show you MY fast punches!” Connor would’ve wasted NO time using a technique he learned form kin, the Kaiju titan palm.

Also called the Stance Of Overpowering Annihilation, it is a highly offensive stance. This was Kin's sensei's signature stance before he took on His sensei and lost, taking his suggestion. Connor and Kin met up during the two years for a reunion, and exchanged martial tips like they'd originally meant to. Kin commented on a more effective way to throw his flurry of punches and as such taught Connor this karate stance.  In this stance, Kin's speed doubles with his hand strikes by that of 60 percent. Kin's hands move so quickly that it appears that he never moves them at all to those who aren’t to 0.001 of a second. Using his hand in the knife hand positioning to deliver strikes of devastating proportions, attacking ones inner organs with destruction chi. Connor’s hands would’ve moved with similar properties to Eden’s own Ora technique and it was weird. In this fight Connor and Eden seemed to have similar abilities and styles that were so different but so similar. Is it coincidence or just a kindred fighting spirit? Connor would’ve aimed each of these punches towards Eden’s face, neck, and chest! Each punch with a glowing red tint of destruction chi showing Connor wasn’t going to have him absorbing his blows forever as he’d take no chances in trying to destroy that special absorbent layer if he could, just to make sure all of his hits were clean and freshly connected to Eden’s body! Connor would’ve continued his relentless assault of incredible punches until acted on other wise, but if nothing was done soon, Connor’s destruction chi would’ve begun eating away at Eden’s body and that would’ve left very….bloody after effects.

On a side note had the power bomb attempt be nullified on the landing, Connor would’ve still attempted the Kaiju Titan Palm with destruction chi coated fist.

--

[8:35:00 PM] Codeine Crazy: He had heard the sickening impact of bone on bone; Connors cartilage lying relentlessly beneath Eden’s knee - but shockingly enough; this had been all that was effected as for some odd reason/ Connors body swiftly stood in place - without a budge in his demeanor. Eden jaw dropped with beaded eyes. “Shit.” It was then he realized this hadn’t been the same Connor he’d face all these years ago.

After ten years - he’d expect growth of course, but this was different - it was a new display - a showing of raw and impenetrable strength. Eden. felt the weight of his body fall forward as Connor removed his head from the scope of Eden's knee.

“ The hell..”  Eden swiftly stated before he’d now have been caught in Connors grasp in a position he’d rather not wish on anyone not even his enemies when scrapping with Connor. Eden’s brows lifted; at the sudden feel of wind that lifted the clothing off his back - “didn’t have that when we last fought “

He’d say while attempting to get out of Connor's lock. But, he’d been too late cause in mere seconds - he and Connor would have went blasting through the roof Eden wasn’t too fond of heights so he would have attempted to latch on to the closest thing he’d fine. This was soon proven difficult; due to how fast they’d been going.

Eden, swiftly clenched his teeth while slowly attempting to shield his eyelids.” Hey - Bird Brain… just how much load can this flight carry ? eh. “ Eden would have been struggling to say; but his next series of movements would have came easy - as Eden swiftly tightened his eyelids shut.

The base of his right shoe would have slightly begin to  shift off his feet - but not because it had been to big for him. It was something merely different - his feet had began to grow in size. Starting, with his big toe which began to inflate in a way somewhat similar to a balloon. Soon, all his toes began to grow then finally came his foot.

Eden, was able to expand parts of his body but with limitations - one limb at at time and no bigger than a king size mattress. Eden would have attempted to expend his whole left foot to the size of a king size mattress - adding two times more  weight to Connor and to ensure it’s more effective he’d gently place it on the back of Connor at an attempt of throwing off his mobility.

But, Eden knew he couldn’t find a way out of the slam only to nullify the impact therefore, If this were successful - Connors flight would have somewhat been reckoned with as he’d been forced to slightly shift his speed - soon before having to go through with the attack far sooner than planned. With the clenching of his teeth - Eden would have braced himself coating his spine with layers of bubbles hoping that can somewhat take most of the attack he’d been in the scopes of.

Soon, they both came tumbling down - an explosion being inflicted at the center of town a crater being formed in it’s place as everything that once stood inferior to humanity had been blasted into the seclusion of impactful winds and a plethora of  destruction chi which cleared the air. People being to redirect the wheels of their vehicle at the impact - some pressing the gas while others quickly deserted their vehicles. Eden would have been gasping in pain- as he’d feel pain coursing through his spine.

“ You’re so going to pa- ..” Eden’s next choice of words were quickly intercepted by a set of punches which came with precision and speed. This, time they’d been excruciatingly painful - so painful Eden would have quickly through his arms up coiling his head within the warmth of his forearm. To, the point where he’d swiftly punch Edens forearms - Connor would realize he couldn't pull back. “Im sure you missed this one.” Eden would have teased - Eden would have attempted to coat his arms in chi gum.

 Eden Creed can alter his aura's consistency into an incredibly sticky substance somewhat akin to bubble gum, albeit much stronger. It can be used to pull opponents within punching range for a flurry of rebound pummels. Chi Bubble Gum can both stretch and contract, depending on what Eden desires. It can be attached either by pointing at his target or through direct physical contact. Additionally, Chi Bubble Gum can also be used to cover a greater area by molding it into a sheet rather than a string.

It is so reliable and durable that it can act as a shield against attacks or as a means to return them to their original caster When not attached to Edens  body, Chi Gum cannot stretch more than 10 meters Eden  has shown the ability to alter his Chi Gum´s shape and colour. Eden, would have attempted to catch Connors wrist caught with this sticky substance the moment his fist went through.

[8:35:36 PM] Codeine Crazy: If, this were successful Eden would have quickly pushed his forearms outwards with an explosive force while Connor's hands remained attached - If successful Eden would have quickly extended his forearms with Connor's head in the midst of it  and quickly slam them back together with extreme force at the same instance he pushed them outwards.

If this were successful Connor would have been stunned while at the aggression of an ear piercing sound.Whether - this was successful or not Eden would have quickly followed up by coating his forehead with a chi - bubble and swiftly attempt at smashing it into the frame of Connor's forehead knocking him back immensely. If, this were successful - Connor would been stunned as he’d been punted back allowing Eden to follow through with his series of combos - been a while since I did this but - Eden would have narrowed his hands forward aiming it at Connor's head.  He’d been attempting the wrapping and stacking-

Chi Wrapping for Eden would be applying his bubble technique around a given object eventually organic As his trainer Sybil taught him during his training at the old church, This Organic would circum a  shrink-wrapping which eventually aim to an attempt to  fit the object's outermost structure.This allows him to apply the bubbles' affect to say, a dagger giving it an oily or bloated appearance, which pops on contact or can keep the object from breaking easily (which would also be useful if he  chose to use weapons like playing cards which normally are frail and useless, as he'd be able to make them explosive projectiles).

The second is Stacking, whereas it would appear as if he'd made one bubble, but instead it is two or three within one another. So say the outermost bubble has an explosive property, or is forceful as a projectile.But the second bubble is a shielded bubble, to relay a bounce back effect after the initial burst of the outer bubble.

This is applicable in reverse too, as he could create a bubble useful as a shield, with a projectile or explosive layer underneath it. Someone could attack it, and when realizing it's a shield they'll attack harder, and let their guard down when the shield aspect wears thin, bubble breaks, and they wind up striking the mayhem bubble beneath. causing someone to pretty much dive head in and attack an offensive bubble after eliminating the defense.

In this case the bubble around Connor's head would have been one layer and simply a shield. If, successful Eden would have gotten into thunderous boxing stance; dropping his left elbow he’d swiftly launch a right jab if this were successfully executed Connor's head would have endured the punch only to have rebounded off the left side of the bubble and back to the right .

Eden, would have attempted to repeat the same if successful with the other hand; if all had been successfully executed - Connor would have sustained if not  severe head trauma severe bruising to the head  due to how the force placed on the brain. If, all had failed from the point Eden had headbutted he would have still attempted to go through with shielding and attacking  Connor's head with the Wrapping and stacking technique.

Connor would’ve been throwing his rapid fast strikes out like wildfire! Each punch he threw aiming to bruise up the young creeds face as much as humanly possible but he began blocking with his forearms? No matter, no matter at all! Connor kept punching but he noticed the emotion on Eden’s face began to change again! “Dammit how many tricks you got up your sleeve creed! Connor went to pull his fist back for some more punches but that’s when he figured out a hitch in the plan…his hands were stuck to Eden’s forearms. “Eh?” Both Connor and Washi exclaimed. “What are you some kind of rubber man!?” Connor shouted surprised that he legit couldn’t pull his fist away from eden’s forearms before WHAM! Eden had slapped his forearms against Connor’s ears and a stinging noise came directly from it! Connor’s right eye twitched as the ringing cut of his hearing and disoriented him for a moment so much so he’d have to take a moment to remember where the hell he was! In doing so he’d have been met with another attack from the young creed! He sent his forehead flying into Connor’s and this caused his head to shoot straight up! He had a small wound at the forehead now below his bangs that covered it and it sent a stream of red down his face at this point! Cars and everything else moving out of the way to make sure they didn’t interfere with what was going on. Kasaihanian’s knew by this point in time when fighting took place in the street the best way to deal with it was to avoid it all together.

Connor had been sent to his feet by that head butt and as he was he’d shake his head left and right just in time to seen eden extending his hand towards him. “What now!” Connor blinked and in doing so he saw a blurred version of the world. It looked…foggy. Connor went to rub his eyes only to feel that it was encased in something! “Is this…a bubble?! He can wrap these around people?!” Connor would’ve struggled to tear at the bubble! He panicked but only for a moment. He wasn’t breathless but the supply was heavily limited. He had to think quick but in his haste he completely missed when Eden had come at him a second time but this time he aimed a jab square at the side of the bubble! This impact would’ve rocked Connor’s head from side to side, which sadly didn’t help at all! His head bounced back and forth between the walls of the bubble itself! This while it rocked him did wake him the hell up and let him look at things as they were! Connor felt it at that moment. Ooooooh yes he finally felt the power surging through him. The pain from eden’s attacks and his malicious intent had finally metabolized in Connor’s body like it should’ve been doing from the get go! It was here!

While true yes Connor gains power off of negative emotions and damage done to him it has a certain way it works. Connor's physique causes him to gain physical ability two sources. Connor's level of chi can be increased because he naturally draws from the negative emotions around him and his body metabolizes this into physical energy. Complementing this is Connor's ability to become physically stronger via the amount of damage received to his being. These two create a conditional tier for Connor as depending on his opponent and how much damage he takes, he could potentially increase his power/physique to match whom ever he's fighting should the fight last long enough. This doesn't alter the amount of chi Connor has, just his physical ability as it should be noted his physiology =/= his Chi. It works as such. Enhanced Condition: After  5 post of continuous battle and or damage absorbed, (starting with my first fight post this Is the fifth) and feeding off of the opponents will to hurt/harm Connor (this also varies as to weather they're in public and causing mass hysteria/panic) Connor's body will have metabolized enough negative/damage energy to put him in a state of Enhanced Condition. In this condition he is strong enough to lift automobiles and punch through steel, fast enough to outrun race-cars, agile enough to leap over small buildings and dodge supersonic attacks, durable enough to withstand bullets, grenades and low-to-medium explosive as well as a strong healing ability. (not in battle of course.)

That being said Eden had finally done it as Connor wanted him to and pushed him to his next plateau and the fight was about to get a lot harder from this point on! Since he had enhanced reflexes and perception at this point he’d watch as Eden came in with the follow up jab he’d have gone for since the first one hit but Connor did notice something. Eden headbutted him with a bubble earlier around his own head. This in Connor’s head meant Eden could’ve controlled the way his bubbles were formed as to weather they were bubbles or hardened projectiles. This was all Connor knew for the moment but he’d remember the fact that eden could effect him physically with these as well. As such, when Eden came in for the jab  with the opposing hand Connor would’ve gritted his teeth and using his head and the shield hardness of the bubble around his head he’d intercept Edens attack…by launching a fierce some headbutt at Eden’s fist! Connor using his newly formed physique to the fullest to accelerate his hit force and attempt to hit Eden’s hand harder than he was punching! If successful, Eden would’ve felt the taste of his own medicine, now having if not a completely broken hand and cracked forearm bone, at least broken knuckles and cracked metacarpals! The pain from this as with all injuries that come form hitting an object, would’ve struck a nerve in his arm that would’ve resonated with a pain that would’ve durated fromt his match. That being said however this counter would’ve also stunned Eden from the bone breaking pain for just a single moment! Allowing Connor to proceed with his next follow combination attempt!

He’d shout at the top of his lungs “Boy Creed-Creed bring that ass HERE boy!” Connor taking the moment, the EXACT second Eden’s fist would’ve been repelled and attempting to close in! One thing to note is the moment Connor shouted this he’d use his micropush to emit a push blast from the pours of his face, lacing it with destruction chi and attempting to completely destroy the bubble substance’s mandarins and disperse it so he could take proper breathes for this next combination! “I can’t let him think of anything else! Gotta  keep applying the pressure!” Connor thought. This combination can be used offensively or defensively. Connor would attempt to side step his opponents left side, and extend his left beneath the opponents right armpit, across there chest, while simultaneously sliding his left leg beside the opponents left leg. Then using his opponent’s momentum against him, he'd attempt to bend his opponent's back over his right/left knee, curling their bodies in a reverse like "U" shape! if successful, Connor would attempt to deliver a rapid series of punches to Eden’s face, utilizing the Kaiju Titan Palm, and throwing exactly 50 punches. Each punch thrown with a 000.1 interval between the other one, Connor’s hands turning into fleshy whip coloration as he threw them. Each punch thrown at full power, would be enough to turn the bottom of his opponents chin into ground bone meal, depending on the opponents durability of course.

However with Connor’s increased physique this would come as a shock to eden as he’d notice EVERYTHING improved! Connor’s speed, and power, doubling to the point where these hits would’ve begun to start leaving whelps and dents in his muscles each time a fist hit if it did. Connor’s arms laced with destruction chi up to his elbow to keep any more sticky surprises from coming his way  and if he decided to perform his method of damage absorption. Connor had to be careful as even with his massive amount of chi he had to use it wisely though he had been. The micro push and base manipulation of his chi base barely take anything to utilize. After the 50 punches were thrown, or the opponent attempted resistance towards him, Connor would attempt to drive his elbow into the abdomen of his opponent , attempting to cut breathing and bruise the diaphragm and effect his breathing to hinder it, before lifting his left leg which would’ve been beneath eden and attempting to propel him away 10 feet into a near by street light pole! The pole would’ve bent on impact and he’d fall to the ground, weather he caught himself or not was of his own jurisdiction.

V

“He’s getting stronger Eden - you need my assistance; I know what you must do. “ Had been the voice of Saru - in competition with the flourishing explosion of bountiful dist; which crash landed upon Edens jaw as he’d been on his back that crashed at the core - at the strength of Connors knee. It hadn’t take long till Eden, was forced to rocket upwards - Eden’s body would have soared while gasping at that intrusion of winds; which made it difficult to breathe while he’d been in the process of recovering from his already bruised and beaten diaphragm. Eden , had landed upon a pole which solely bent upon impact. His neck would have limped back as a stunning gasp broke from his tongue; Eden would have fell upon his elbow - his eyes scurried before him at a now enhanced Connor. “ I’m a bit busy Saru.

” Eden would have scoffed before dragging himself to his feet - “ I will not be bested by brother. So, listen to me you have the tools to defeat him - but it won’t be easy you must be haste with it and any slight mistakes will surely lead to your defeat, I have a plan. “ Saru would have stated - as Eden began to gasp heavily his emerald hues began to withered as an eerie belch began to clog up at the the end of his eyelids. He’d been all out of answers - so he decided to lend his ear to Saru. “ I’m listening.” Eden, softly replied before narrowing his neck forward stretching it a bit - “Alright; he’s clearly feeding off of your chi - in away your physiques are similar but his is far more advance. I was unaware at first - but it's clear to me now even when you were unable to get hits in his power still grew, meaning his feeding is much more spiritual then it is physical. You must stop using Psycho Chi - it’s not helping your situation at all.

“ Saru would have stated in which Eden quickly revolted against with the sucking of his teeth. “ You’re crazy ! - I think I’ve heard enough.” Eden, would have said quickly disregarding Saru’s plan - “ Listen to me fool ! - He is not someone you can defeat with fist alone. If you insist on continuing with the idea of who will go down first then you have no chance of wining and should throw the match right now ! you must think - now listen I’m going to need you to use your mental chi; I'm going to transfer knowledge of my prior use of an ability I reckoned as Power of Nothingness.” Saru stated - Eden quickly lifted a brow “ Power of what ?” Eden replied in which Saru quickly responded “ Power of Nothingness

- The Power of Nothingness is a state of consciousness transcending ordinary perspective, born through spiritual and mental refinement. Bearing common traits with states of being within Buddhism and martial arts, it is the power to act without being attached to emotions and thought, free of fear, anger, and ego, to draw upon the contents of one's heart intuitively without obstacle and hesitation, and to be aware of the world and to know one's place and meaning within its vastness, to flow with all of creation without the need of worry, desire, and doubt.It is the complete opposite of the Satsui no Hado. As such, it can only be used by a person of pure mind, compassion, mercy and peace. Such a person must have embraced the peaceful and spiritual aspect of the art to their fullest extent. Just like the Satsui no Hado, it makes a person unbelievably powerful, granting invincibility (spiritually and physically) to many attacks, as well as sealing off evil power and making the user a stronger fighter.

I  practiced with this power throughout my years of battle - Though, I only used this against people of Connors nature. With, the help of your Mental Chi - I can transfer that knowledge - sort of like today's flash drives when in terms of a computer but I’ll need time so hold him off till then. “ Saru commanded in which Eden nodded - He swiftly stood up straight; this time and counted his steps towards Connor “You’ve gotten better- I’ll give you that; but in no way are you unbeatable !”

Eden would have shouted aiming his finger at Connor - but before he can respond Eden swiftly left it to his furious speed to quickly leapt before Connor and within seconds he’d attempt to roll forward Before Connor can react hoping his eyes would follow as he solely acted as a distraction- if he’d successfully roll forward and behind Connor then with the uplift of Eden's finger the pole would have been pulled off it’s place on the sidewalks - and at heightened speeds would have smashed against the back of connor's skull; if this had been successfully executed - Eden would have placed his hands at the feet of Connor before lunging back if this were successful done with swiftness another bubble would have formulated around Connor. In the midst of that attack would have been - Eden who too would follow up whether successful or not with the expansion of his right arm and quickly attempt to smash it at the core of the bubble which caged Connor if this were successful - Connor would have been rocketed  so high it would have been scaling buildings to the pointbefore landing at the center of a forest - just as Eden had predicted. If all had went according to plan the bubble would have broken upon landing. Connors - body would have crashed landed in the seclusion of the a forest. Eden Creed ; would sinked through the shadows of the forest in a new state - he’d been different calmer; and a source of energy fled from his skin but it consisted of no color in fact it was simply nothing- you wouldn't see it but you’d most definitely have knowledge of its presence as the air around Eden looked a bit off and frigid. - A widened yet broken smile danced across his face;

 “ I like this.” Eden would have softly stated before rolling his neck. “ Nice. You’re smarter than I give you credit for Eden; you decided to move him away from the negative emotions bleeding from the people around him as well good game.” Saru would have praised Eden in which he slightly noded “ Thanks.” Eden, would have wasted no time before burying himself in the shadows once more. He would have masked his movements - by hiding his steps and using his mental chi to flood Connors thoughts with his voice instead.

 “ I say, you’re good - but I’ve caught on. Now, that we’re outside of your environment. Welcome to mine ! “ Leaves from trees would have rustled - as caws from birds fell from their place and scavenged the clear skies. The ground would have felt like it was being rustled with before suddenly a log would have been thrown at an intense speed towards Connor; If successful - before meeting Connor it would have broken in two and in the midst of that long had been Chi gum; If Eden were to successfully fall for Edens trick. Eden would have stormed in from behind - piercing the head of both his shoes into the back of both of Connors knee. If this were successful -

The extent and speed of the attack would have allowed Eden to force Connor into mid flip - where he’d instead land on his chest with sickening impact allowing Eden to pull both ends of the logs and quickly attempt to seat himself at the core of Connor's back at an upright position while seating his knees at Connors sides. If , this were successful Eden would have crossed both sides of the branch and wrap the chi gum around Connor's neck - Eden would have the followed up by pulling upon this thin strand at an attempt of Choking Connor out. “ Give up. “ Eden would have chanted repeatedly still remaining a voice in connor's head If, this had been successful If Connor had not given up - Eden would have continued to choke him out until he was unconscious.

Connor’s attack landed and he moved from being in his base fighting stance to a more idol position, rubbing the back of his neck with his right hand. “Damn you’re crafty. Not gonna bullshit you Eden you’ve got some skill with those bubbles of yours.” Connor watched as he fell form the pole. He seemed to be getting himself together while Connor was speaking. “Sorry to say buddy it’s over. I’ve figured you out, you and this little chi bubble gum shit you do. You’re a rubber guy with rubber tricks who uses bubbles. I can get around that one of two ways, the second I have yet to reveal. You can concede if you want, it’ll only get worse from here.” “You’ve gotten better- I’ll give you that; but in no way are you unbeatable !” Connor shook his head. “Alright then, guess there’s gonna have to be a winner here!” Connor took his stance again and watched Eden use that super speed of his to come towards him! “I told you it’s no use I can follow you now!” and he was right. Connor’s senses in general were at an enhanced state his eyes could follow eden six ways to Sunday and they did as he approached him and rolled past…him? Connor raised  brow at this only to then receive a swift WAP to the back of his head! This made his right eye twitch and put a small cut on the back of his head! Connor reached his hands up to hold his hurting head. Even with enhanced durability the guy could still feel pain it just took a lot to hurt him. That being said Connor would’ve been successfully caught off guard and trapped inside of another bubble? “Running out of…ngh! Tricks Creed?!” Connor had his arms by his sides, rearing his fist back and getting ready to break this bubble like he had the others but that’s when Eden pulled a slick maneuver! He reared his arm back before Connor’s fist reached the bubble and WHAM! Connor went flying inside of the orb! “YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo-------“ Connor eventually landed in what looked like the small forest area outside of Kasaihana! The moment he landed on the ground, the bubble popped bouncing Connor up one more time before he fell to his back with an ‘Oomph!”

Connor pulled himself up and looked around. His jacket had flown off at some point and now he was left in his white v neck shirt and the sweats he started off in. A bruised, battered and sweating Connor in the middle of the forest, he could only look around to try and see. He decided in this low of visibility he’d need his eagle eyes. Eden played smart though this was a forest and there were plenty of things moving around with vibrations emanating but Connor would’ve still had pretty good visibility.  “Connor keep clam. You see what he’s doing don’t you?” “Yeah he’s taking me out of my element.  He must’ve caught on to the things I was getting power off of. Sure I’m already amped up but I think he gets it at this point fighting me straight up isn’t gonna help. Nah…he’s gonna switch his style up something fierce. It’s weird. He’s moving in a way that makes the vibrations hard to see…hate to say it but he has become invisible…somewhat. I can’t even track his malicious intent anymore…it just disappeared.” “Hmm.” Washi pondered. “My brother has always been a trickster. He probably had something up his sleeve. Some form of…emotional masking or mental state that altered the property of his chi. If he caught on he’s done something to prevent you from getting stronger. At this point it’s his game so we’ll have to play it as such…I’ve got an idea. ““I’m listening Washi. While I could level this god damn forest…I trust you.”

Connor and Washi unlike most Oni’s and their host have a very symbiotic partnership. They trust and believe in one another and have a near unbreakable bond which is why it could be remarked their teamwork is near flawless. The Brain AND the brawn working in sync is dangerous for anyone…even so, fighting Eden was becoming more and more like fighting an alternate version of himself.  This something Connor would’ve done if he’d felt need… “ I say, you’re good - but I’ve caught on. Now, that we’re outside of your environment. Welcome to mine ! “ “Connor remember the principles of chi. You’ve done good to conserve your chi to this point but maybe it’s time to go a little bit more all out. You haven’t fire done push blast or used the-“ “I got this.”

but that’s when he heard the noise of something creaking, something old sounded. Turning around he’d have seen the log coming his way! “Not today!” Connor went to step and punch the log but that’s when it had split apart on its own?! Connor could’ve then been caught off guard by Eden’s attack to the back of his knees which only aided in flipping him slam over onto his chest! Connor calling of the technique he used momentarily since Eden had clearly been mounted on his backside. Connor at this point. Connor saw the chi gum connecting the logs being thrown around but what he wasn’t prepared for was the rope of it to be wrapped around his very neck! Connor went to grip it but with Eden on his back, though he wasn’t that heavy for Connor’s condition, was still adding pressure with the choking. When he’d told Connor to give up Connor managed to spit a retort out even his current condition. “G-…Go fuck yourself pretty boy!” Connor would’ve been struggling to grasp the rope but he knew better. Eden would’ve only tightened it and if he tried to use his chi he might’ve changed his tactics…so Connor decided to flip the script. Closing his eyes but still gagging as if he was really choking he’d use his new condition to use a technique he’d learned in his Karate teachings with Kin Tasanagi.

Kin has taught Connor multiple stances and Kata from different Karate styles, specifically the Kaiju Karate variants of speed and defense, which has taught him the essence of self defense and countering. Kin has mainly taught Connor a variety of defensive techniques, stressing the philosophy of "Defense" being the true nature of Karate; as a result, Connor has a very strong sense of defense, being able to effectively attack and defend at the same time using the techniques he has learned from Kin. Connor tighten all of his muscles and I mean ALL of them. Connor in doing this would’ve put up the front as if he was trying to struggle but merely tensing up from lack of air but it was actually quite the opposite. Connor tightened up his body similar to making a fist with his hand and in doing this he compacted his organs. Since the diapghram is a muscle in itself, Connor would’ve adjusted his organs to a state where his muscles compacted inwards and forced his lungs to expand less in order to take in breathes. This seemed fairly suicide until you consider how Connor’s brain potential actually works. Instead of panicking and sending connor into shock, thanks to the Koikonjitto side of his physiology his brain would’ve more so adjusted in response to the chocking by narrowing Connor’s airway slightly, specifically around his neck. So even with the rope constricting the neck, by compressing his lungs and having a slimmer trachea his body could’ve adjusted to the lower level of oxygen and allowed him to still function as normally. Hell his Vacuum Adaptation allowed Connor to breathe in space and he could’ve even backstroked around a black hole if he really wanted to or ever got to that point.

What Connor did was play the fool! While being “choked” Connor kicked his feet and preformed it perfectly. He’d been choked out so many times in his long career he could mimic the actions to the tee but ahhh Connor only did this as a distraction. He was actually….laying dormant. Charging his chi in the pit of his gut. (not saying we HAVE to this is Connor CHOOSING too)He had a plethora of techniques he could use but he needed an opening. He knew Eden was a smart cookie and he might catch on and change his actions but one of Connor’s greatest strengths was adaptation. Connor knew and he was pretty sure Eden would’ve known by now even in this scenario, Connor was far from vulnerable. Plotting his next move even in this “seemingly” hopeless situation. “You sure you know what you’re doing Connor?” “Positive.” Connor would’ve responded mentally. Eden had been talking to him telepathically though so he’d have to keep that in mind.

Eden didn’t allow his grasp amongst the thin but strengthened strand to loosen; he dragged his teeth while grinded his tongue - in attempt of cutting the duration between Connors breaths. He’d had him right where he wanted him - and Eden wouldn’t had rathered it any other way.” I won’t let you defeat me ! “ Eden chanted once more as the hairs amongst his skin began to gallop in place due to the strain he’d unleash upon himself. “ Remember - Eden, time your movements appropriately.” Saru would have suggested - Edens eyes clenched as drops began to run across his cheeks.” Right, - but let's hurry up abit.” Eden would have sealed his eyes shut; the wind began to thicken a eerie feeling of heaviness emitted through the it - heavier than normal.

Tree’s began to bow - brushing their heads forward leaning towards Edens direction - all would have simultaneously bowed before him. Along, with the sharpened grass which too began to persistently -  grimace forward - all in Eden and Connors direction. What sounded like hushed whispers and howling winds - soon conjured into sounds of whisp and crashings of swords. - In the midst of this all would have been Eden; who so happenedly had been the source Eden had widened his jaw to great lengths - it almost seemed unreal. A strong gale of wind would have been directed towards the pit of his throat - cries of agony would have thickened at the midst of the process.

This had been the work of his Enhanced Breath/Lung capacity - Eden can exhale gale-force winds or inhale air in order to generate a vortex of wind, can range from exhalation on par with gale force winds to inhalation on par the power of a gravitational vortex.  Edens lungs are largely expansive and will take a long time to run out of air. As, this had been in the process - Edens chest would have began to inflate - this would have been an attempt at speeding up the process of Connors sudden loss of breath. If, successful - Connor would have found it extensively harder to breathe since Eden had been in the process of hogging it for himself.

This - would have also aided on adding more weight upon Connors back allowing his hold to seat firmly. As, his position had been strengthen - Eden would have awaited for Connor to do as he’d been told and simply quit as Eden was in the midst of holding nothing back as he’d been left with one final triumph card.

Connor would’ve felt the increase in weight hit him hard! Even with his condition and his muscle technique he could tell his breathe would’ve been wearing thin anytime now! He needed to act in this very moment and if he didn’t do it now me may never get to! He’d heard eden claim a somewhat victory but Connor had other plans! He drew in as much breathe as he could, making sure eden was close to his body, Eden would’ve started to notice the shift in his body as Connor shouted out “TAAAAAAAAAAAIYOOOOOOOKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!!!!!!” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ0mjrKgdpw&index=35&list=PLYNBny7IRlVka5wfhbJrzQjPogaU9shs7&shuffle=4914 I may not like em but I fucks with this song xD )As Connor shouted this out, his eyes would’ve temporarily whitened out! His body would’ve started illuminating itself in an orange redish color! His body becoming eclipsed in the colors of pink and red, and the instant he yelled this in what seemed like a flash Connor would’ve attempte to use his two chi bases in unison and stand straight up! Spreading his arms out and yelling at the top of his lungs, while simultaneously tossing eden in the air and off of his body as a whole! The chi leaking from his body completely destroying any of eden’s gum that might’ve been attached to his body or in his vicinity!

During his time in Dragon Kang, Connor took on a special training exorcise with Yumi’s brother, Xandu Xiaofang.  Her brother taught him the art, of the basic chi principles, and how all chi techniques become all the same because they stream from the same principles as others, just some span more than others. Connor had finally unlocked his Hadou Kussei, the super state that all hadou practioners can achieve. This is basically a shortcut for Connor, as Connor can reach this level as battle progresses, but sometimes it can get difficult when in the heat of battle of an opponent who’s much stronger. Thus this heightened state is particularly for that, but it has it’s limitations as Connor can only sustain the state for a limited period unless his body gradually reaches it. A weakness of Connor’s is that if taken out quickly before allowed to reach his maximum potential, he can be defeated as such. Connor dubbed this technique the Taiyo-Ken, since it was taught to him by a fire user, and it sounded cool.

The Taiyo-Ken is a combination of the basic chi principle Horyu, Kakusu, and Tenkai. Connor uses these to expand and create a large layer of destruction/fortification chi around his body, which has specific effects that give him a very speedy advantage. For starters the shroud is composed completely of destruction chi. Thus meaning, that everything around Connor is destroyed. This includes certain forces that restrict movement such as G-force, the acceleration felt as weight, this acceleration experienced by an object is due to the vector sum of non-gravitational forces acting on an object's freedom to move, friction, air pressure/resistance and drag. This allows Connor to move in short term burst of speed incomprehensible and somewhere close to the speed of sound in short erratic movements. Unlike the micopush which gives Connor an outside force to turn and steer his movements, the Taiyo-Ken allows Connor to turn and steer sharply off of the fly thanks to the fact there’s no friction to restrain  his movement  or hinder him. However he can accelerate even faster more so with the aid of a micropush, to make Connor become a literally blur on the battle field, in only short intervals of course. This increases his defensive potential enabling him to widely dodge bigger attack maneuvers, and his offensive range, able to ping around the battle field at a quick pace, or outmaneuver his opponent in creative and crafty ways that fit his fancy.  That and anything this aura touches is literally destroyed upon contact, so attacking Connor while in this state is damn near suicide in itself.  The "Speed" of Connor’s body not only increases in distance, but in combat speed as well. Connor's limbs can travel through the air with no resistance on them whatsoever. So much so that without some form of supernatural  reflexory factory, keeping up with his attacks may be a literal fail in this state. The speed and acceleration actually doubles Connor's combat potential and enables him to keep up with people faster than him that he couldn't before. The secondary effect is that because of the rapid increase and burst of chi, Connor’s chi based attacks and movements substantially double in overall power, allowing for bigger moves, and bigger booms, and the usage of his new super push blast technique. The draw backs of this maneuver include a five time usage when initiated. The Taiyo-ken can only be sustained for 5 post if used as a transformation, but if used in burst, Connor can only use it 3 times before he has a cool down period (one post). Should Connor use this during a battle he will be unable to use his oni trigger for any reason, as it takes to much chi to variate between the two.

During this fast burst of breaking energy Eden would’ve found the front of his clothes, if not a little bit of his skin singed from the feel of Connor’s destruction/fortification chi hybrid techuqniue! This wasn’t the worst of it though as if he managed to dodge this or not, Connor would’ve moved in…for the Taiyo Ken attack!

Involving the usage of the Taiyoken, Connor would rush his opponent with the special speed granted to him by this technique! Taking off at speeds, short of a jet engine momentum flight, (base sonic speed) Connor would attempt to rush and punch his opponent square in their left jaw with a furious right heymaker! (Weather eden was air born or had escaped and landed, Connor would’ve attempted as such.)With no forces restricting Connor's movements, the punch would've been as fast as the dash, and if it connected, the opponent would've been sent skyrocketing backwards 20 feet, but not for long! In exactly a fifth of a second Connor would appear beneath his opponent (Note:If the first initial heymaker is dodged or blocked, Connor would throw a right knee to the chin to attempt to mimic the effect the punch would’ve had, using the same speed and amount of power.) during their stride, and attempt to launch them straight up into the sky, with a double boot kick to their spines sending them about 30 feet into the air! Enough force to bend the body backwards, and straight the muscles in the lower back causing them to spasm a good bit and lock up around the nerves, causing a small lock in movement. If this connected, Connor would flip and then push off the ground, using a series of micro pushes to soar towards his opponent, this time in a third of second, and once he was 5 feet away from them, his body would vanish! Using the same effect as a fly: during flight when flies circulate are people and agitate them it is not because they are simply faster than the people themselves. This is false. Flies while not the fastest fliers are the quickest at directional changes. The reason they can seemingly disappear from sight is because their direction changes so frighteningly quick that the eyes lose track of then simply because the human eye has trouble following speeds of changing momentum in that manor. Him curving his direction and attempting to come from the opposite side of wherever his opponents gaze, using same fly effect but enhanced,  was and kicking them in the back/Torso! This drop kick, attempt would have enough impact to send the opponent blasting down towards the ground, at escape velocity speeds (11.2 kilometers per second or 6.96 mi/s)! The moment they impacted the ground, they'd be sent about 30 feet underground, and depending on the area this is used, into sewer line or underground cavern! At dangerous speeds like this, the opponent would have an array of destroyed muscle tissue, broken bones, and jetlag to the highest degree of nausea.(Note: if the air launching double kick is dodged, Connor would immediately preform the vanishing maneuver, attempting to come from behind the opponent with the escape velocity kick.)

If the attack had gone through or even as stated the last kick had made It’s mark Connor would’ve stood there huffing and puffing a bit. The Taiyo Ken was hella exhausting to use, but it wouldn’t have spent him yet. If any part of his maneuver was dodged or avoided, Connor would’ve adjusted to the changes willing to take whatever risk necessary to continue the fight.

[12/31/2015 5:30:07 PM] Lul Kodak The Finesse Kid: Though Edens mental chi allowed him to contact individuals telepathic; he’d been no mind reader. Edens body skyrocketed - in the midst of a goliath maneuver. Edens, body flailed in mid air but it hadn’t been too much in the mercy of the tremendous force that emitted through Connors form as he’d been in a compressed form. as stated prior Eden, allowed himself to swiftly expand by concealing the air that drifted promptly around the two.Allowing, Eden’s body to swell up as A strong gale of wind would have been directed towards the pit of his throat - cries of agony would have thickened at the midst of the process.

This had been the work of his Enhanced Breath/Lung capacity - Eden can exhale gale-force winds or inhale air in order to generate a vortex of wind, can range from exhalation on par with gale force winds to inhalation on par the power of a gravitational vortex.  Edens lungs are largely expansive and will take a long time to run out of air. As, this had been in the process - Edens chest would have began to inflate - this would have been an attempt at speeding up the process of Connors sudden loss of breath. If, successful - Connor would have found it extensively harder to breathe since Eden had been in the process of hogging it for himself.

This - would have also aided on adding more weight upon Connors back allowing his hold to seat firmly. As, his position had been strengthen. Due, to this - though Eden was sent to airborne through clenched winds due to the impenetrable force by Connor - he was still insanely powerful. “ Eden hang on in there.” Saru would have softly spoken to which Eden swiftly nodded as his plump cheeks flared a bright red his eyes nearly short from his face; he’d share the expression of a fat kid on the deadliest roller coaster.

Eden's, eyes though barely - caught Connor as he’d been insanely faster - this was due to his mental chi which interacted with his already peak human senses, he’d been able to trace Connor on sound alone the effectiveness behind this ability was displayed through his victory over Jackie back in the GMAF all those years ago. But, though - he could catch on he was still too slow. “ Tch..” Eden, would have softly spoken as he’d been nearly out of breathe.  His, eyes nearly popped from his skull as he caught a punch to the jaw that nearly forced it to collapse. Eden, still - though difficult would have tried his best to clench his teeth and keep the compressed air in his lungs. Suddenly, Connor had vanished - Edens brows perked up - he couldn't quite believe it.

/This couldn't be happening - just how many forms did this guy have.”/ he’d think to himself. “ Get Ready.” Saru would have insisted to where Eden swiftly nodded; and in the midst of his nodding - came the boot to the gut and the moment Connors boot met Edens got it would have been like Connor drop kicked an explosion himself. Eden’s jaw would have been forced to widen and within that moment every bit of air that Eden would have retained at the pit of his gut would have been shot forward it would have been as if Connor drop kicked the aftermath of an atomic bomb (The force of it of course. ) If, this were successfully effective on Connor then both Connor and Eden would have been blasted towards Opposite directions. Eden would have taken a few tree’s with him before landing at the base of his rib - receiving several bruisings and scarrings with a slight nausea but nothing in comparison to what would have happened if he didn’t hold all that air in him using it as a somewhat padding to Connor's attack. “ You sure you want to do this ? - After this you’re done for a while.” Saru would have warned Eden to where Eden slightly nodded. “ Let's do it.” Eden, would have gasped keeping a firm grasp at the base of his ribs.

-c-

[12/31/2015 5:31:16 PM] Lul Kodak The Finesse Kid: The raven haired crusader swiftly dragged himself back to his feet, a dim light began to parade his feet in a circular motion - enacting the formations of a snake as it continued to coil at the base of his feet - it soon began to grow in size turning out to be the tale of a monkey - Edens grin broke through the dim light - as his body too began to grow a bright white - excluding his eyes which fell a dim yellow but contributed to the visuals of a demon. His body began to grow in size as his muscles did too meeting the posture of Hercules but significance of Zues himself. His very presence alone - spewed a cynical aura. Eden had been in the midst of his Oni Trigger A.P.E

A technique developed by Eden Creed over the two year time skip with guidance of the infinites, mainly to contribute to his durability which lacked the proper defense due to his ties on humanity, Eden Creed initiates this form by coating both his arms with an immense amount of chi. An, infuriating bloom of white leaning from his shoulder to the very dense arches of his peculiar knuckles,Eden then blows an incredible amount of air into his body, but in this particular moment he inflates his muscular structure before distributing the air throughout his body, with emphasis on his upper half Eden's proportions become warped and his body becomes much larger in size, with his arms, upper torso, and legs coated in Psycho Chi ( Which becomes a very dense and dark black. which is the form it’s chosen to take to act as shield to Edens parts.) .

The coating across his torso resemble the wispy ends made from flames, giving it the appearance of tattoos, and he also gains shading around the inner and outer edges of his eyes. He also physically grows taller, standing around 4 meters tall. As a side-effect, he is incapable of standing still on the ground, and instead constantly bounces on the spot. This form was created in order to combat the many powerful and dangerous targets during the course of two years While Eden is using A.P.E, his physical strength and speed are increased to the point where he is able to overwhelm a member of the Infinites , Mysto, Grundy focuses on compression more than stretching. While the compression grants Eden moves overwhelming speed and power, the range of his attacks is severely decreased, though he can deliver long-ranged attacks by stretching the part of the body he wants to attack with while retaining great power and speed, as his body is still greater in size and covered in Chi . Eden also shows a much more versatile side of this ability by changing the direction of his attacks mid-strike to hit a moving opponent without losing momentum

According to Master Zaito the power of Eden's attacks is greatly magnified in this form. His durability is also enhanced: despite being hardened with Psycho Chi, his body is still rubbery, so physical blows (even ones enhanced with Chi ) simply bounce off of him. This form , seems to utilize the principles of Rokushiki. It possesses both high speed movement reminiscent of Soru and the ability to kick off the air, similar to Geppo, cleverly adapted to work even better with his body's elasticity: Eden not only bounces off the air, but allows attacks to bounce off his own body. His body is also now strong enough to defend against cutting attacks head-on.

However, there appears to be a limit to how long Eden can keep Grundy A.P.E as noted by both Eden himself and Zaito Once this limit is reached ,Grundy is automatically deactivated, leaving Eden exhausted and barely able to move. He is also left unable to use Chii for 12 Hours after using this technique.

“ Now we’ve both ascended.” Edens voice would have sounded like both Saru’s and himself adding more of the cynical flare to his appearance. “ Let's see who’s faster - shall we ? “ Eden would have added before moving a foot forward and vanquishing at that spot; sudden explosive blurs would have been present in the blink of an eye - trees were robbed of their leaves while others simply collapsed - and in mere seconds Eden would have appeared before Connor - if this had been allowed, Eden would have quickly launched a menacing right haymaker but aim to miss Connor but just slightly - the fist would have the extended further out if this had been successfully executed the fist would only redirect and catch Connor’s left cheek. If, this had been successfully executed Edens left fist would have attempted to connect his left with Connors left rib where Eden would attempt the Gomu Gomu no Kong Gun, literally meaning "Rubber Rubber Monkey King Gun") After compressing his fist into his enlarged forearm (and making it look like the barrel of an actual cannon), Eden would attempt unleashes a devastating short-range punch with massive power.

This technique had enough strength to break through enhanced defenses if this had been successful Connor’s body after receiving fatal damage to the ribs - Eden would have attempted to reappear an airborne Connor ( If the attack was successful) Eden would have prompted his fist back “ LIGHTNING THRUST TECHNIQUUUEE” Eden would have shouted Eden was unable to gain destruction Chi but was able to formulate his own aspects to it .One of the main moves within this style would be the Lightning thrust technique, which is When user is able to launch a single attack that hits its target multiple times. This could be a punch that hits the target ten times despite only throwing one punch but in order to do said move, one must channel enough Chi into their arm that could deliver the said blows to dismember an opponent. Using the technique… to an opponent so “1 punch”  could have been thrown out to the human eye and untrained eye. But in reality the strikes would add up to 10 hits or more in total. This technique is thus far the most dangerous when it comes to Eden because of the explosive effect he added to it. Using his wrapping and stacking as his arms defense making the explosive projectile as the first layer. If, this had been successful - an explosive wave would have cleared the trees within a 5 mile radius burying Connor and Eden into a 6 feet crater.

However if Eden had failed - to connect the first punch Eden would have still attempted to sneak in the left jab “ Rubber Rubber Monkey King Gun”

[1/3/2016 2:14:45 PM] Ryoji: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj0JwHQer\_c&list=PLYNBny7IRlVm1xHhYq5qHlNSsKkocXSF2&index=166 ) Connor would’ve been blasted away by the air emitted from Eden’s lungs! Unfortunately for his opponent, the air would’ve burned off of Connor the moment it touched his Taiyoken aura, as Connor would’ve fallen back on his own accord! Connor cut a couple of backflips before landing in a squat on the ground! Looking up at Eden before slowly standing and putting his guard back up. “Connor be careful. The Taiyoken burns your chi like a raging flame! You can’t abuse that kind of power to much or you’ll burn out BEFORE him.” Washi spoke into Connor’s head. Connor said nothing at this notion as he simply smiled. “Then we’ll get to see just who the better man truly is.” Connor clenched his fist, as he did his knuckles cracked. “I wanna see all of it…every bit of what he’s got in his inventory.” Connor’s right hand twitched slightly as he felt his fingers tensing. He lowered his right hand and extended his right pointer finger, and thumb, holding his right wrist with his left hand. He knew what he had to do. A Small red orb appearing at the end of his finger. “And I’ll show him everything I’VE got in mine.” He might be eating his own words soon as the moment he spoke out about it could feel the shift in chi…seeing Eden’s form start to…..change. Connor watched his mass increase and his overall size become hulking. “Wow Eden you really let yourself go eh? Maybe I should take a picture of this, then let’s see how many likes you get on MyBook for this shit eh?” The moment Connor finished talking his shit Eden spoke of them now both having ascended and as he said this he’d have disappeared from Connor’s line of sight again! Connor squinted his eyes, darting them left and right. “I can….I can see him! Somewhat, but it’s enough! The vibrations he’s emitting are monstrous…but since he’s bigger, he’s a bigger target!”

Connor would’ve liked to have thought that with a  straight face but it was raaaather difficult as Eden would’ve approached him frontally! Connor holding his pose and ready to engage into another stand up exchange with the man  but when he’d thrown his right fist out but it missed? Connor could see the vibrations but it’s like they were all starting from multiple points and that’s when WHAM! The fist hit Connor dead in his right cheek, as Connor could literally taste the blood in his mouth! Eden wasn’t playing around as having this enhanced durability only went so far now! The tables had completely turned! Connor’s head was whipped back, but his natural grit wasn’t going to let him just give in! until he saw Eden’s other fist draw in on itself? It looked almost inhuman in nature! That’s when Connor felt a massive BOOM!!! Impact his ribs! This was followed up with a sickening “CRACK” Connor’s lips prude together as blood squirted from them before Connor’s body was sent completely airborne! The whites of his eyes showing as if he’d been k.o’d on impact! He should’ve been! But Connor knew better. He now had two, no…three cracked ribs, but his hand had kept it’s entire shape. Connor however spite the rest of the blood out and maneuvered his body in the air! When Eden reappeared above him, Connor would’ve used the Taiyoken again! His body bursting into a red Aura, before he would’ve been upside down looking at Eden…with his right hand shaped like a gun pointing towards eden, and his left hand holding his right wrist! The red ball that appeared there never went away for even an instant as Connor had it set directly on Eden! Knew the risk of what was coming but the timing had to be precise! As such When Eden came down with the punch towards Connor’s gut, Connor made sure another one of his passive abilities was active…the Akuma No Honshintsu.

Akuma no honshitsu' Or Demons essences allows an Onihoruda to utilize a multitude of things that help them dramatically within a combat situation. Akuma no honshitsu is the release of their demon energy within himself. The demon energy follows into their  Onihoruda physiology. This is his more than chi, its more so the oni's inner hadou. So all and all, it's his Dark Hadou. When using this ability the user is able to rapidly heat the air in a large area and generate hot air from around their body. The air is significantly hotter, making it able to blister, dehydrate, and damage away targets. Using this will allows him to destroy any potential threats that may linger in the air, or around his his body within the 2 foot length and 7 foot tall aura that continuously radiates around his body. and will allow also the onihoruda to detect anything around their aura for a further disturbance if the human eye cant detect it. This aura can hurt those within it with a scorching hot effect. No one will be able to see it ever unless they too are Onihoruda. Hadou Masters can SENSE the presence, of the aura, but no physically see it. This aura radiates around his body at all times it is apart of them. It's with them ALL THE TIME. When they die, so will this aura. If put in an illusion. they may be able to detect it with the essences. ( So if they ever died within an illusion, or if someone attempted to kill them during the illusion they'd snap out of it which would allow them to retaliate.) With this aura it unintentionally/intentionally make them immune to sensory attack abilities. Once in a hostile situation, weather they are aware of it or not. Due to their Hadou feeling the disturbance rather than themselves. And react automatically which will then alert them of upcoming dangers.The user can sense nearing dangers and sense unwanted or hectic threats to their wellbeing. The user has anxiety just before a hazard (such as being ambushed). The intuition usually regards themselves at low level, then regarding their surroundings (a distant car-wreck) at middle level, then dangers regarding loved ones at high level. With the Akuma no Honshitsu, the user has a constant ever lasting aura once someone enters said aura, it makes the users time perception faster by three seconds to reaction time. Meaning the opponents attacks TO THE USER, are slowed down enough for him to react to them properly. (Passive, always active)

With this Connor had three seconds of perception time to do what he needed to do! As Eden’s fist entered his range Connor seemingly didn’t use this three seconds to do anything but pump as MUCH chi into his fingertip as he could! His eyes winded as he’d look Eden dead in his signifying this was going to hurt him as much as it was going to hurt Connor! He would’ve been able to see it but he might not quite know just WHAT it’s for. That being said Connor would’ve used the last second to utter a word. It was…quiet…but between the two fighters going at it, it would’ve been heard loud and clear as Connor would’ve furrowed his brow before uttering one single word.

[1/3/2016 2:15:03 PM] Ryoji: “Bang…”

At the VERY same time Eden’s fist would’ve even so much as touched Connor’s mid section, Alll Eden would’ve seen was a blistering flash of red! An attack not many people get to see, let alone survive in a stable enough condition to remember! The infamous attack of Connor Ryoji: The Push Blast!

At more powerful levels, Ones Chi or Hadou has the ability to create a telekinetic impulse via the power put into it, launching a concussive burst of pressurized air-not unlike the blast of an archaic 'pipe bomb'-that would impact a target with enough force to knock it over, launch it into the air, or even (particularly in the case of fragile materials such as ceramics) shatter it into pieces. The greater the user's Chi ability control, the larger the pressure differential, and thus the stronger the effect and the heavier the target. With practice, a skilled Chi user could increase the range and arc of the blast without lowering the average kinetic energy, creating a blanketed wave instead of a focused impulse. Truly gifted practitioners could generate a concussive blast that would radiate from them for dozens of meters in all directions, detonating with the Hadou of a conventional explosive. The user is able to form compressed explosions as a straight punch of pressurized air to be projected out or thrown. When the highly moving pressurized air comes into contact with a target, the air is released with force, from sudden gusts to hurricane force winds. With training, the user could be able to detonate the bombs at will. In Connor's case however, he does not release it with his fist, or an open palm, but his finger. Toushin taught Connor that the push blast is much stronger when condensed from a small focal point, to an outwards bigger point, as such he taught Connor to focus the chi for the technique into his right index finger instead. This cause Connor to create a bright blue/red orb on the end of his index finger, the chi sitting there until he's ready to fire it. When Connor is ready to fire the blast, it has the same effects as a regular push blast, but 2x the norm amount since it's been so highly compressed. That being said he can fire these at relatively long distances, as long as Connor  has what he's aiming for in his sights/range. As such, connor can change it's size from that of the average size and speed of a bullet to that of a funnel, straing from a point and expanding into a blanketed wave, the size of course depending on Connor's will. As of now Connor can now ONLY FIRE 4 SHOTS A DAY USING HIS OWN NATRUAL CHI WITHOUT ONI INFLUENCE. HOWEVER IF CONNOR RELEASES HIS AURA LOCK BRACELETS, HE GAINS LEIGHWAY FOR ONE ADDITIONAL SHOT.

[1/3/2016 2:15:07 PM] Ryoji: Connor low key messed himself up as the combined force of Eden’s punch with the kick back of his own blast would’ve barreled him actually 10 feet into the ground as opposed to Eden’s originally intended 6 feet. 3 ribs on each side of Connor’s body had been broken, and as his body hit the ground, a puke of crimson left his lips as his arms flailed loosely into the air, and so did his legs! Connor’s shirt was completely destroyed and his body looked pretty banged up. Ooooh but Eden wouldn’t have come out of this without a scratch.  Thanks to the effects of Connor’s current chi alignment: Oni Esscence: When Connor's Pusshu Bakufu is red in coloration it has a severely different effect, though it takes a bigger strain upon his body, he's gradually getting used to it. When shooting a red charged blast, the explosion radius is only at minimum 10 feet, (this is also dependent on Connor's intentions)but instead of concussive damage outwards, it's compressed into a much smaller beam the shot if it connects can dissolve any sort of organic cells, including plant, bone, energy, or even fertile dirt and dissolve them, destroying them at a cellular or even protein level, allowing them to destroy their targets, either by a specific part or outright disintegration. This is limited to a specific area i.e shooting an arm, would put a hole in that arm and sever it from the body. Its not a contagious effect so it doesnt spread but is focused in one area. that doesn't mean that when it hits an object, one isnt effected by the AoE, if you're in ten feet of it's radius when it explodes, what ever part is near it is effected, it can even overpower Regenerative Healing Factor by disintegrating cells faster than the victim can recover. This doesn't errantly halt the ability, but hinder it greatly. This has negative feed back on Connor however, as this is pure oni essecne within a technqiue. Until Connor masters and tames his oni, the shot will actually backfire, and degrade some of the cells on connor's arm rapidly, giving his arm a terrible brown coloration. Rendering said arm useless for 2 post, until his arm regains mobility and the cells start to reform. (not healing persay, but allowing his arm to move again) However in recent indevours Connor and Washi have a perfect bond (and this definition being dated af) so the negative effects it once took on his body no longer take any form of effect but the energy discharge itself still drains Connor of his chi amount and whatnot. The radius of he blast because of Connor boosting it with the Taiyoken would’ve been a radius of 15 feet, enough to encompass eden’s entire body! While Connor didn’t aim to kill eden, since he was clearly and organic being and used energy the same as Connor, Eden’s boost of power might have been short lived. Even with his famous bubble technique and gum technique, the properties of the pure Oni essence and the mastery Connor held over this one specific base component of it. Eden’s giant body would’ve had it’s entire epidermal layer disintegrated on his front side! Some of his muscle tissue being caught in the blast only to be left dangling out a bit as well, he’d look like a burn victim. With that top epidermal layer gone he’d have felt every nerve hurt and tingle in pain from being exposed to the night air. The massive hulking form would’ve looked like something out of a horror movie as Eden’s muscle tissue would’ve been visible, the hardened chi on his arms would’ve begun to decompose had he not done something bout it but seeing as how Connor fired his attack at the same time Eden launched his own this might prove an impartibility. Eden’s body would’ve been enveloped in read light shot airborne by about 50 feet at least with shredded clothing, blood leaking and trickling from all over his body’s frontal side, and a better view of the forest they were in before his body would’ve curved in an arch and landed him to fall 30 feet away from where Connor was buried in his hole. A giant fist print from Eden’s attack rest in his gut from having been punched ten times at least he felt like he was..

Connor would’ve laid there coughing up blood, groaning to move, but every time he did it hurt! His mid-section was on fire! Connor gritted his teeth forcing his right arm over his body and making him turn over. “GAAAAH!!!” Connor screamed out! He was in pain…terrible, awful no good pain, and had taken massive amounts of damage. Connor would’ve screamed at the top of his lungs cautiously from the amount of pain he was feeling. Gritting through bloody teeth Washi talked to him. “Connor you idiot! You keep moving around, and you might puncture a lung!” SHUT UP!” Connor held his mid section….it hurt but he didn’t know if Eden was down or not. He had to see…he had to know…he had to grow. His crimson eyes glowing in the night as he looked in Eden’s direction to see what his foe next move was!

-e-

[1:17:16 AM] Kid Cudi: It almost seemed like the inevitable; - the flared beam of an heightened red expanded at what seemed to have been capable to do so little - ultimately, had been able to decide the match in an instant. Eden's, eyes dilated - almost as if all he’d known flashed before his eyes. “GAH ! “ He’d shouted as the blast - went rocketing towards his abdomen. Due, to the great height difference - Edens abdomen would have endured most of the attack - but in a way he’d attempted to use that to his advantage as he extending his neck forward halting his shoulders upward while in the midst dragging his waist down; his format somewhat recognizable to a hot air balloon as it drifted in place. His eyes widened - as if they’d been peeled off his face. “ GAH !” He’d shout - aiming to contain the power he’d been unable to contain despite how enhanced his durability was.The bubbles; at his grasp exploded on impact - as he’d attempted but it did nothing - Eden’s body burning at it’s core was blasted back forced to endure the backlash of bothered winds. He’d crash with a violent thud - a flood of smoke overlapped the woods at his aggression - He’d almost seem dead - his skin melting off his body; almost like he’d been swimming in a toxic waste. His arms still left intact though - due to the shield he kept bound to his arms. Eden, had been in a crucifix position; his massive arms hauled at each end by separate trees - while his legs remained dangling in the air - his breathing grew heavy as a bit of blood escaped his lips. “Heh” /FLASHBACK/

 “ You’re the first person I’ve ever used this on how unlucky are you ?! “

Eden chi roared emitting a purple ray of light that highlighted around his physical stance.  Eden quickly leaped upwards his Physco Chi Often termed as an evil, negative or psychotic energy, which could possibly use the Psycho Drive to channel it. Psycho Power has been described as the corrupted negative of Soul Power. Through its use people have gained a considerable amount of power, expelling all remorse, compassion, and humanity from his soul. This energy also grants him the ability to float, move quickly and mentally influence the minds of other beings. They can also regenerate via the Psycho Drive/Power. However, Psycho Power can exceed the limits of his body, depending ON the type of body it can also determine the "ceiling" of one's power level, explaining increased desires to physically work out and or consistently kill any and everything in sight.

There is a direct opposite of this power called The Soul Power is, as its name implies, energy manifested from the soul. In appearance, Soul Power is a kinetic, color-changing energy that people channel from their body and often through materialistic objects, allowing them to control it as a weapon and supplement ones attacks with Soul Power. Eden is the first to be able to divide his mental state when it comes to using this ability, In Edens case he can sometimes be self righteous aware and quite ambitious when it comes to reaching a goal but while in the midst of fighting and his aura shimmers a bright lean purple that all changes into "Tyrant" a name he created for this form.

To hold in his temptations to kill Eden constantly works out and due to his ability to heal he may come off to most as a bit too much of a reckless human being with no concern of his life. Eden found himself hovering in mid air as his hands moved in such a fashion that it seemed as if he had at least six arms but those were just pure after images in the grasp of each palm was a bubbled with a purple hue to it Eden then made an attempt to launch each bubble at the same paste purposely missing him if this were successful Each bubble would find their way around him. To Edens knowledge each bubbles had the ability to refract light and focus them into beams, much like a magnifying glass.

After launching them, Eden would catch glance at all the stated objects earlier able to reflect light specifically the sun if Eden's attack went according to plan the bubbles would become stationary and any light source passing through will cause a domino effect, connecting the bubbles together and eventually shooting multiple beams at their target. If this were successful Connor would be caught in a what seemed to be a shooting range sent forth by each bubble. If this were to be successful and Conor were caught in it each blast would leave a serious amount of burning which may lead to a requirement of surgery if gone any further.

/FLASHBACK END/ “ I guess, I'm dead, right ? - That is what happens when you start getting flashbacks of your past life right ? -you’re dead. “ He’d state in and out of an conscious state. “Ah, - not very much so, Eden Creed. It’s time you get off your ass and think ! - look at the time ! - this can be your moment that attack reduced a lot of time you possessed in that form  - its time you keep pushing before you’re completely down for the count ! - you hear me Eden snap out of it - ! think ! “ Saru coached Eden back to consciousness. “ - Dear God, I forgot how edgy you are in the mornings !”  He teased - still a bit of blood grazing his lips in which let disintegrating stings forcing his gaze to peel yearning for tears that glistened his cheeks.

“ It's been awhile since I did this - .. “ Eden lifted his arms a bit - and swiftly groaned in pain. “ Shit !” He’d say as it been flailing at his sides. “ Lets try this again - “ He’d softly sound before guiding his hands through a number of complex directions - forming circular formations with both hands and it its midst - a flourishing sight of circulating bubbles the size of volley balls - shifted around him at complex speeds - like the ladies upon a fan they shifted slowly closing around him Bubbles even circulated the top - as well as acted as a shield beneath Connor- if this were successful Connor would have found himself enclosed in what looked like a bird cage - a bit of a joke by Saru due to Connors oni Washi.

## VII

[1:17:45 AM] Kid Cudi: “ I never did - eh, give this mov- agh. tch, a name-  how about.. Bubble Trouble -..” He’d force those words out in excruciating pain. Edens  bubbles have the ability to refract light and focus them into beams, much like a magnifying glass. After launching them, the bubbles become stationary and any light source passing through will cause a domino effect, connecting the bubbles together and eventually shooting multiple beams at their target, due to the sensitivity of these bubbles anything from light to energy can set them off - as the light sources blast these said beam the explode on contact with the trapped in the midst of it.

Eden would have peeked his head towards the horizon - “ It's time.. “ The face of the sun would have acted as Eden's calvary as it began to shed off some of its light from its view. Quickly - throwing its rounds of energy which pounced each bubble with swift if successful - would have slowly left burns amongst Connors skin - if he hadn't been in the midst of dodging them.

Soon, they’d start to flee closing in on him - and if successful; amongst closing in on him they’d explode. If successful - Eden would have fell from his place on the tree - his gaze fall upon the smoke - If this attack were successful The burns he’d gain would fall in sync with the wounds he recieved prior - along with intrudcing severe burning making Eden runner up fir the most beautiful ugliest man if they were to go up head to toe. Edens eyes quenched as he seen the state of his younger self fall through the smoke swiftly walking along.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOGhFHgwo3U&list=PLYNBny7IRlVka5wfhbJrzQjPogaU9shs7&index=15 )Connor stood there, finally getting himself up and off of his feet. Holding his rib cage he’d spit out some more blood and open one of his eyes. “One more…I just need one more good dose and…and I can win this….” Connor clenched his dangling fist and as he did a crimson red stream dripped from between his knuckles. He stood himself up with a grunt of pain, he and eden now roughly 30 feet from one another as Connor clasped his right fist with his left hand and squeezed it cracking his knuckles. “I can do this…” Connor bent his arms, putting his elbows into his sides, but letting his forearms remain vertical and the backs of his fist facing Eden. Connor looked dead in Eden’s direction, not intent on taking his eyes off of his opponent for even a single second. Connor began to flex his muscles even with the intense amount of pain he was feeling inside of them. “Hmmmm…” Connor began to hum as he watched Eden seemingly be out of tricks…

“ Lets try this again - “ when Eden said this Connor saw him begin to make complex hand motions. Connor had a guess it was going to have something to do with bubbles and low and behold it did. The volleyball sized spheres all began to surround Connor, and even beneath him as they formed something akin to the shape of a bird cage. “Real funny Saru.” Washi uttered. “Connor what are you going to do.” “The sun’s coming up washi…I think I know what’s coming if my erratic memory serves me right.” As the sun began to rise, Connor’s chi level seemingly diminished. Why was this? Who knows, but Connor would’ve given off the appearance to be running out of steam here, with heavy breathes. As the sun came up Connor watched eden complete his hand motions but his eyes winded! He remembered this attack and what it did, but knew he was in NO position to dodge this right now!...instead he opted for a different tattic. A last ditch effort that if he failed with this one, he would’ve more than likely been done in with any kind of chi usage for a while. “COME OOOOOOOON!!!!” Abusing the ever usable shroud of the Akuma No Honshintsu, Connor would’ve watched as the light reflected off of the bubbles and each one of them came at him from a different direction! He couldn’t dodge…and he knew this. He also knew for a fact that he’d have to take this but not without a fight! He used his remaining chi to coat his entire body, every hair and skin cell in thin layer of Fortification chi! Fortification chi is the art of using ones chi as an extension of themselves literally by using their chi to shroud physical objects and make them stronger/sharper. This is mainly used on external objects to make walls, and anything someone can physically touch stronger and more resilient. This can be applied to the physical body, but only on the level of the skin, unlike the physical chi users. With this, one would gain hardened skin, sort of like a dermal skin almost, that would make the user impact resistant to a degree. This however does not outright stop kinetic force, and will still hurt the skin, but it's the main reason this specific chi control is bread for objects.

But why fortification chi? Simple. Connor would’ve made a completely flat surface of his body, instead of a meaty light substance that the superheated light can pierce through with ease. This in it’s own way actually managed to reflect the light that would’ve been coming at Connor’s body! The smooth layer of chi acted as a clear substance with reflective properties only because light particles reflect and bounce off of all forms of matter. While the fortification chi wasn’t as reflective as the clear bubbles, it was able to disperse and diminish some of the heat hitting Connor’s body…but this didn’t discern  the burning sensation he was getting in various parts! Small burning indents appeared on his body and Connor’s body looked like a flaming train wreck at this point! Blood pouring from his pours, and as he held this position he only did this enough to cause the superheated light to continuing bouncing from bubble to bubble and when the explosion came!....all fell silent. The smoke began to overtake the area Connor had been in…as not even so much as a scream was heard.

Eden would’ve been able to believe he’d had safeguarded his victory as he wouldn’t even have been able to sense a lick of Connor’s chi anywhere…but did this  mean he was knocked out or unconscious? Actually quite the opposite.  Connor utilizing a special chi principle known as Kakusu. While Horyu allows a user to keep Chi from leaking away from their body, Kakusu (Hide) stops the flow of Chi from their body altogether. By closing all of their Chi nodes, the user is able to stop almost all outflow of their Chi like water from a valve. Since the user is no longer surrounded by their own Chi, they are more sensitive to the Chi of others. This can be useful when tracking another person and it will also prevent other users of Chi from noticing them.  Kakusu can also be used to relieve fatigue, since it forces the body's external layer of Chi to be fully contained within.  However, since Kakusu involves shutting off one's Chi, it can be dangerous due to it leaving the body defenseless against any Chi attack even though chi can still be used. Even a weak attack enhanced with Chi could do massive damage.  In essence this is what Keyth Tasanagi and Zetsui Ryukiri base their Stealth chi off of.

This added to the smoke and the explosion Connor supposedly took head on was meant to give Eden a false sense of security allowing Connor to use the element of surprise. The smoke would’ve fumed form the ground…but it would’ve been getting noticeably darker…and darker…until the thick smoke began to turn black. Suddenly a bloody and desperate scream made it’s way from Connor’s mouth. “I’M NOT GONNA LOSE TO YOU A SECOND TIME EDEN CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” the moment the last word left his mouth Eden would’ve seen a sight, a feat, a power no one ever see’s connor use simply because he hates it! A giant  foot radius funnel of what looked like black wind would’ve emitted and erupted from Connor’s body! The black wind soaring towards Eden fast as the winds found in an F5 Tornado!

While they wouldn’t have necessarily hit Eden persay, they would’ve indeed trapped his person in a 30 foot wide vortex of black wind…the hellish black wind of the Onigmath Washi! God of the skies! With Connor's Variant of this technique, Thanks to  his Oni being Washi, the Omnimath of the Skies, Connor gains a form of Alteration Chi, which allows him to convert his chi into wind/wind based attacks. These winds contain a razor-esque property. Added to the properties of the Akuma No Honshitsu Connor uses, they cut and burn targets. User can create, shape and manipulate wind, movement of air relative to the surface of the planet. It is an important factor in determining and controlling climate and weather, and the generating force of most ocean and freshwater waves. Wind occurs because of horizontal and vertical differences in atmospheric pressure, and include breezes, squalls, gusts, whirlwinds, zephyrs, gales, tempests, and hurricanes at much higher levels, some of which Connor is not capable of producing at this very moment due to the fact that this power is BORROWED more so than mastered. Since air cannot be seen by conventional methods, neither can the attacks and derivatives formed by/from it, making it an invisible and versatile weapon that is very difficult to block and dodge. The wind has a dark property to it because of it's nature. User can create and manipulate very powerful winds that are able to cause disproportional amounts of damage. The users can even use all of the capabilities that wind manipulation can do but more powerful and supernatural like. Dark wind doesn't just blow away, it suffocates all things and can even turn normal air into vacuum. With it's Dark properties it can even overcome and consume normal air, and does not adhere to the properties of normal air, but it is air by a physical component to exist in the mortal plain. The giant black wind (yes it’s black and visible lol) The scale of this outwards vortex was at least 30 feet in diameter all around! Aimed directly at the central area Eden would be reach after he’d thrown connor!(how it looked in the launching stages of it

http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s70/mysticdensukez/Martial%20Arts%20Gifs/Aura%20Gifs/f0fcd698622fe8f4a7fea77d0036f948\_zpsuzpoiywc.gif Like this but around the body and not form the mouth

This would seem like a wind attack except for the occasional crackles of lightning that could be heard and the yellow voltage sparking alongside the vortex’s rim! This was because Connor’s wind swirling itself, spun incredibly rapidly, at high end tornado like speeds, BUT because the wind was also made up of the properties of the akuma no hishintsu…it was naturally heated.. so much so, it’s speed combined with the heat, was literally enough to force the air to create a rapid friction and become ionic in nature.T he only way air is able to carry a charge is by becoming ionized. This happens when the charges in the ground reach stupendous amounts the superheating and rapid wind speed of miniature tornado esque properties. This breaks the air down to ions creation a path for lightning to follow the current of his attack! It’d have 2 additional effects. One was the immense incredibly dense and thick air created by the drafting force of Connor’s wind, literally increasing the pressure inside of a funnel to a high compressionary level, rendering Eden’s quick movement severely limited. This would also lead to mass compression, as the G-Force itself was 500 in number, 400 being the lethal amount in standard measurement! Even if he was accustomed to moving under weighted situations, Drag force also played a key factor inside the vortex! Falling under the same rule of compression, the drag force which would surround Eden would consistently fight against his motion! He’d find it severely hard to move on top of the g-force, but even if he could move, the fact that he was a solid object of physical mass would only make moving that much more difficult, forcing him to struggle with what strength he had to even so much as take a step! There was also the heat of this attack. In the midst of it’s funnel, temperatures would literally spike, to that of the melting point of steel, which would work even more in the favor of blasting through the air and attempting to destroy all means of possible escape for Eden, though anything was possible.  Should eden have been trapped in this the effects would’ve applied, and he’d have felt sweltering heat melting at the already tattered exposed muscles of eden’s body , massive gravitational increase threatening to flatten him into a rubber pancake, but because of the g force hold eden would’ve found it difficult to become malleable as the pressure would’ve fit to his body like a mold almost and because of the black winds properties…no air what so ever.

This wasn’t the icing on the cake, as Connor had to tap into an alternative energy source to do this attack being his Oni’s essence it takes a toll on his body to use as such his next move was intended to be his last! In the darkest part of the Black Vortex that surrounded Eden He’d begin to see a brimming red light. It was dim , incredibly dim but it was there…that’s when that light would’ve gotten brighter, and brighter and BRIGHTER before Connor’s body would’ve come soaring into view but not even for that long! While his body was tattered, bloodied and beaten Eden had pushed Connor (this being the 10th combat post) using damage alone…to Connor’s supernatural state.

After 10 post of continuous combat, Connor becomes glaringly, obviously and super/unnaturally superior over their race because their capabilities are pushed to the superhuman level; making them immensely stronger, faster, durable and smarter than normal members of their species (in that 'verse) can achieve by any method of training and remain that way with little or no maintaining. Strong enough to lift construction vehicles and destroy thick steel, fast enough to run faster than missiles, durable enough to withstand most explosions. This basically equates to an **Oni Trigger** (often abbreviated as **O.T.**) which is a special power possessed by Onihoruda like the Tasnagi family, and demonic hybrids Nephalims like the Tetsu family. which allows them to release their full supernatural potential. While in Oni Trigger, the user will assume their true form. In this form, many of the character's physical and magical attributes are amplified, and the character may have access to upgrades or even additions to their normal abilities like flying or hovering. When playing on higher difficulties, enemies can enter a Oni Trigger-like stateafter a certain time limit (which is fixed for each enemy). This causes enemies to strengthen their attributes as well as making them attack more often and more powerful.

As Connor’s body was moving towards Eden, his leg strength alone would’ve been pushing his body past the speed of a missile which equates to about 15,000mph in Russian standards fastest missile. This number only increases because Connor’s movement is also being accelerated by the F5 tornado winds so to add those numbers together Connor would’ve been pushing 15,318mph. (Mach 2 basically) Connor’s crimson eyes glowing, their target set dead on Eden but what eden would’ve also seen…was Connor’s right hand steaming….CAUSE IT’S BURNING RED!!!

(http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=JDu9-gD-V2k#G\_Gundam\_OST\_-\_Shining\_Gundam\_%28HD\_1080p%29 ) Connor charged eden at this speed the whole way shouting at the top of his lungs. “ANIHILATIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING FINGEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!!!!!!” Connor at this incredible new speed, only further accreted thanks to the winds natural affinity to do so, he would’ve attempted to thrust his entire glowing right hand right through Eden’s abdomen and take hold of his spine! The hand would’ve pierced through any of Eden’s bubble tastic defensive means and moved through his rubber flesh like butter but how one might inquire?

Connor would utilize the true essence of his chi nature, which is Destruction & and it's adverse new found nature which is Fortification. Connor has come to terms that his chi will only allow him to destroy things. While he is not over confident about it, he is aware of the power he possess and thus, has come up with a way to use it to the best of his advert ability, while maintaining a sense of morality, he will kill an opponent if need be, and that is precisely what this move is for. Connor focuses all of the destruction chi he can muster into his entire right or left hand. Then in doing so, adds small flares of fortification chi that resemble burst of lightning or sparkles almost like camera lenses flares. In doing this, his hand will glow with a violent red color, that appears as a small flickering red light at first before shining brightly. Connor would then attempt to use the properties of his hand to pierce or impale his opponent outright whether it be through the stomach or decapitation via the neck. Durability aside, with Destruction chi's properties of destroying any and all forms of matter combined with fortifications chi ability to sharpen and cut on large or small scales, it has a very high success rate of impaling. This is not to downplay any opponents caliber of durability per say, but to block the attack head on, would take unconventional means or outright dodging. If impaled, whatever part was indeed impaled, would be cut through and destroyed, on the spot, leaving not even a drop of blood to flow from the wound, as the chi would incinerate it all on touch.

Given the drastic conditions of the circumstances, Connor’s new found physical ability and his counter measure of trapping Eden in place this was all he’d had left to give. The fact he could even go this long was due to his massive amount of chi and chi sensitivity which allowed him to use these techniques at half the cost a normal person could do so. If the straight forward lunge attempt worked, Connor would’ve looked Eden in his eyes with a burning glow of Crimson glowing hues! The grip on Eden’s spine would’ve made it literally impossible for him to move, or even so much as twitch without feeling Connor’s grip tighten. He would’ve literally been able to feel the destruction and fortification chi eating away at his spinal nerves as Connor would’ve panted. If this hit, the black wind itself would’ve subsided and left only Connor and Eden standing there. Connor’s Chi had hit it’s absolute limit. He’d speak with a pant, and blood leaking from his lip and soaking his chin, as he closed one of his eyes to keep blood from getting it in, his position squatted slightly below Eden’s. “Gi…give up Creed. If you make even so much as a flicker of chi…I’ll snap your spine in half and drag you to the hospital my damn self.” Connor grunted, his sides spit open from the light attack which left dry blood leaking form his ribs. He didn’t have much left to give but he couldn’t quit! He refused! “I’ve hit a new…ngh tier as bad as it sounds. In my condition even with these injuries I can move, think, and attack faster than a Russian missile. Hell you’re probably just getting your breath back…you don’t want to bet your life on this, trust me.” Connor would’ve looked up at the young Creed. “Admit defeat and the score will be tied…I’ll fight you again any time you want. Hell we can take a nap and I’ll fight you the moment I get up.” Connor would’ve chuckled, but only ended up, spitting more blood from his mouth. He was losing it fast, he’d lost about 2 pints already as Eden had pushed him to his upper most limits. This fight was not easy by a long shot, but…should eden chose to concede Connor would’ve indeed taken this victory. If eden even so much as blinked or preformed any action towards Connor a sickening snapping sound would’ve been heard as the destruction chi still around his hand would’ve cleaved clean through Eden’s spine, rendering him paralyzed until his healing factor kicked in.

There is the possibility that Connor could miss his straight forward lunge in which case he’d only land on his feet about 10 feet behind Eden and simply let the black wind collapse in on him, cutting his body to complete smithereens, the heat leaving third degree burns and his body’s skin and clothing completely gone, and he’d feel a massive crushing effect thanks to the G force all being focused on one point and suffocating him to the point of unconsciousness though Connor would call it off before it killed him of course.

Eden found himself cornered into a pit of hellish black;the heightened waves of destruction scurried around him without a halt in their aggression. Eden, huffed as he’d been in a kneeling position in the midst of it all. “ Well, - looks like he still has a few tricks up his sleeves.” Eden joked as he eyed the race of black slowly ease in on him. His emerald hues blend in it’s interwine of divine winds. However, Eden hadn’t lost hope as he’d been in the position to evade, but only with proper timing.

 Altering, his gaze back Eden Creed would have swiftly lunged upwards his chi gum - dug at the fabric of his shoulder as its other end stood guarded against the tree he once left imprints on. His tongue slithered, as he’d been in the process of getting up - however, he’d been intercepted by the struggle of his bones. Ede, felt his skin somewhat melt  - it had seemed he was in the process of reverting back to normal.

“ Shit, “ Eden softly sighed now dragging himself. However, in came Connor with a abrasive technique jumped at the base of his spine. Ascended brows accompanies shrugged shoulders. He’d hear all that Connor had to say -Eden had been caught his body stiffening at Connors grasp. He struggled to move however he’d lose all ability to move. Eden cheesed - his emerald hues halted at Connors aura.

“Tch, you’d love that wouldn’t you - the words I give up. Well, you’re shit out of luck ! the same way I win on my own terms. I lose on them too. “ Eden scoffed before using all his force to rip himself opposite of Connors grasp. His body would have been flailing from guas spine as it remained in Connors grasp an outstretch of blood would have acted as a wave as it rode the winds of Connors maneuver. Eden, teased as he’d been left to hand with what was left of him - his body slightly staggering side to side as blood leaked from his openings.

Everything, would have came off as a blur to him - soon, his vision began to stagger until finally he was confronted with a midst of an endless black.

Connor watched as he pulled himself away and fell back to the ground! Connor's hand coated in Eden's blood as he fell back onto his ass and looked at him, panting and huffing. He wiped his brow of sweat with his other non bloodied hand and sighed. Connor huffed one more long time before he pulled out his smart phone and dialed a number in it. Making the call he'd speak. "Yumi. Get down here I need a medic." "What's going on?" "Me and Eden are pretty bent out of shape, so...yeah. Help." Yumi hung up the phone and she began making her way down there.

In only a few moments Connor would've been sitting beside Eden's unconcious body. Yumi standing over the both of them with her hands outstretched and their bodies coated in a giant orb of blue flame that started to heal the both of them. "You guys aren't healing as well as you should and I know I'm pumping alot of chi into this..." "Just do the bare minimum. When any of the six oni gods fight each other, the injuries they sustain form one another always take longer to heal than regular. We're pretty toxic to each other is all. Even with this, the rest of our injuries will have to heal all on their own." Yumi let the blue flame down, folding her arms and sighing with her eyes closed. "Well congratulations on your win." "Meh. It was a good fight. Still it's not over...the score is 1 to 1. He beat me some years back in high school so another rematch is bound to open. " Connnor stood up dialing a nubmer on the phone. "I'm calling the abmulence to this area. He can take it as he wishes. Let's head back to the villa. The Federation building is gonna need some heavy repairs..." Connor and Yumi would've began to make their way away from the area. Connor waving without looking back at Eden.

"Til next time Creed."
