Reaver grunted as he was fencing Raven, Madoka’s puppet. She was skilled with her singular puppet, more so than he was with the many metal legs. He struggled to fight off the puppet, the fan blade behind Madoka shattering when aisha rammed directly into it. He decided to give up that front, as he turned back to face Mori and Tomiko, to which was he primary objective after all. He found Mori and Tomiko, close to the ground. Both were bloodied, looking like they’d flop over at any moment.
“Hehehe...give in now and surrender your headbands or your heads!” Reaver announced with a boast. “And you, Mori, I expect this performance to be worthy enough to gain my trophy back!”
Before he could advance and preform another attack on them, he found a female figure, coated in black with red armor land on Mori’s earth staircase. Reaver was taken aback at the new arrival.
“Eh? Who are YOU supposed to be?”
Without saying a word, the figure attacked. Several feathers being thrown his way. He raced an eyebrow and laughed. It was too easy! He ordered two of his three remaining spider legs to protect him from the hits effortlessly. That’s when aisha’s Mutts tipped through them, racing across the battlefield with their inferno fang over fang.
“What?! Aghhhhh!!!!”
He yelled as he braved his arms in front of him, the feathers hitting his arms, producing through his jumpsuit and hitting his arms, although weakened by the clothing. Blood trickled down his jumpsuit holes, as he trembled with pain as well as chakra usage. He was starting to run terribly low. He needed to do something about all these hostilely and fast! His one remaining spider arm flexed as it took aim at Yasu. He commanded it to split into then pieces and bombard the position with it’s shrapnel. It littered the area, and by proxy, the staircase, shattering it into hundreds of pieces. He plopped down to the ground in his wobbly feet. His true short stature of 4” Being apparent

Kai quickly threw down his mask when Kiro came bursting back to life. His face was filled with relief and joy upon seeing him back once more. His mission objective had been secured, and Kiro wasn’t dead. He was quick to throw his one good arm around Kiro, bringing him to a right embrace.
“I’m glad I’ve found you Kiro, it’s a joy to see you still alive and kicking.”
Kai broke the embrace and listened intently to Kiro’s talk of not trusting a single word that came out of the Xeno’s mouth, and about attempted brainwashing. Continuous talk about treaturous behavior of the Xenos in question made Kai nod his head.
“It’s only natural. Animals can’t help that they act like animals. It’s best to know the habits of animal to be more prepared when you actually encounter it in the wild after all.”
He was acting pretty cool about this, still overcome with relief and happiness at finding Kiro. He knew Kiro was born of the mist, but not of his clan. Kiro had proved to be a valiant warrior, even surpassing himself in the exams. He only lost to Xeno trickery and Xeno theft of mist ninja skills. He was lost in a trance at what they were going to do once they got back to the mist, but quickly snapped out of it when he heard some new information.
“The Xenos you choose to alliance yourself with have betrayed you!
“What?”
“Kai, they made me swear disloyalty to the mist!”
Kai’s heart skipped a beat, his warm smile changing quick. He gasped audibly, his eyes moving around frantically. There were so many words he could say, but none of them could correctly display his current state of mind.
“But...don’t worry! Don’t worry...we can fix this, somehow...! I know! We can go to the mist! When there we-“
"Oh piss off you fickle fuck! You asked for this power and you know it!” Tayuya Rudley interjected.” Don't try and play victim just because you are worried your mist buddies are pissy over your choice. You pledged loyalty to Lord Orochimaru and that loyalty is not something to be taken lightly!"
Kai, his face now hidden not by his mask, but by his hair was expressionless. Shadow casted by hair and face hid his expression. Kai seemed to march forward, his face still hidden. Kiro’s voice seemed more distant and distance as the entire environment seemed to blacken outside himself. Even so, he stepped forward even more.
“A Xeno: an outsider. An outcast. Someone who doesn’t belong.”
Kai took a few more steps forward.
“All evil in the world stems from Xenos. They are vile, cruel, and know nothing but destruction and hatred.”
His steps strides even further.
“But brainwashing and even favoring a mist ninja to vow to your cause? To become the very thing we as mist ninja swear to reject and slaughter? No. That won’t be accepted.”
His deep steps Getting even closer now...
“You has a chance to live. One. Tiny. remote chance that you would leave here and join back with your village. But now it’s about to go flying out the window. You...”
He stopped in his tracks, looks up. He had pure fury in his eyes, a fury he hadn’t felt even once before as strong as it was now. Hatred, Devotion, retribution, all of these things fueled inner spark. He reeled back is arm.
“You....FUCKING Xeno!!!!!”
Kai delivered a almighty bitchslap across tayuya’s face. It shattered the genjustu into thousands of tiny shards that only Kai could see. He was practically fuming with his hatred, the power of blood. The power of bonds. For Kiro, for the mist, and for the family name, he would make this wrong right! Right here. Right now. In this very moment!
