Spatial EXTRA 1

[20:04] {NARRATION} Waves...

The sounds of such crashing along these docks of Dawn would otherwise be all these men would hear if not for the amount of cargo being loaded in and out of this place.

Ships coming into these ports all to unload all kinds of elicit potions and rare ores from all around Agartha.

Even from a distance, the group could notice men arguing with undead with a dialect far too distinct to be anywhere but from Huangzhou.

"You no have cash? We no bring in product!"

One could be heard shouting as they slammed their fist right into the jaw of one of these undead.

As exciting as it was to watch asian men beat up undead port workers, they had a job to do.

The boat they were unloading shipments from, rumors had begun to spread that Fat Cheng was aboard this time.

Overseeing the production of his crew, all from the comfort of the captains cabin.

That, was they man they were after.

---DOGSLAYER IMMEDIATELY FUCKS IT BY BEING RACIST TO THE GUARDS---

[20:15] Well this was some bullshit. Getting called up by Daniel of the Dogslayer to do another hit wasn't how he wanted to spend his afternoon. But it was what he considered to be his job. He would, quite frankly, rather be at home smoochin on his husband, playing with the Dragon kids, teaching the next generation at the academy. Nice, relaxing things to spend the later years of his life. But for some fucked up reason, he had gotten this idea in his head that just because he was really good at killing scumbags - he had to.

Taiga arrives at the spot. Dressed up to his neck in black. Pure, pitch black. A mask rides up to cover the lower half of his face, but to John and Dan - there was no way they were confusing this snowy son of a bitch for anyone else.

He was, after all, a criminal on all accounts. Having left Dawn years ago to go to Levengard. Was his sense of justice so strong it kept him crawling back? Or was it simply the idea of being ableto kill 'without remorse' (as if) that brought him here? Either way, he showed up.

"...Gentlemen." Taiga glances between all parties present. "The less time we spend here the better for all of us. I'm Wayfinding out as soon as this bastard is dead. Understand? So don't waste my time and don't even think of telling anyone on your chain of command that I was in Dawn." He flickers a red gaze between the three of them, before giving a nod.

With that, he'd stay back from the rest of the party. carefully observing negotiations. Taiga was interested to see what he had learned since last time. For now, try and make himself hidden from the rest of the gangsters. Hiding behind a crate, barrel, you name it and manipulating the shadows to cover any parts of his goofy gitup that stuck out!
(Taiga Rowan)

[20:41] {NARRATION} "N-Nani!?"

Many of them would scream as a solid fourty men working these docks would be knocked aside by the vicious assault of this group.

Flames manipulated by occultism and waters conjured by a number of these men continually rising from the surface below, all to cover and drown out these docks as precious shipments of cargo were lost to the sea below.

However, it wasn't enough.

The bloodshed and carnage soon spilling into these seas below, a thick crimson tainting the oceans as a solid fourty men had lost their lives upon this night.

From the ship, one could hear screaming and cries to pull away from the dock being called.

What remnants remained of the crew scattering, hoping to reach sanctuary back aboard the S.S Ren Shi

---Some unimportant shit happens; Taiga Wayfinds aboard. They interrogate a guard ---

[21:11] Taiga holds a hand up.

"...He's been compliant." Taiga interrupts. "Just throw him over the ship. It'd be a waste of energy to kill him. Anyone who stands in our way, I don't have a problem cutting down." Pretty words, speaking of mercy with razors for teeth. "But he knows he's done wrong. Scared shitless at the sight of someone finally come to drag his sin out to the light of day. Terrified at the thought that someone finally got tired of it all and made him wake up to the truth."

Taiga leans in real close, tearing through whatever stood in his way between him and the man with his claws and grabbing him by the throat.

"Nothing lasts forever." He holds him up for the rest of the boys to see. Writhing, squirming, probably begging for his life. "..." A change of heart? He drops the man. "Get to the lower deck. If you really want to kill him, John, do it when my backs turned." And like that, Taiga starts looking for an entrance to the hull!
(Taiga Rowan)

---They move down to the lower deck. Try and sneak by, get banged around by a few magical boxes. Nothing critical to dev but fun rp. Eventually we come across some guards who stand in the way. Dan and Taiga both try and give them the option of peaceful resolution by scaring the snot out of them and telling them to run. ---

[21:55] {NARRATION} "N-No! We... We are... Trained... To die for Mister Cheng!"

Threats or not the men would seem to stand guard, with one eventually shaking his head and stepping forwards.

"Y-You here for potions? We give... Many potion! Just leave, get off ship! Leave!"

He would continue to snap, almost if bargaining back with this man as a weapon was still held in his hand.

The remaining crew stepping forwards just behind him, peering out behind boxes with tools in hand...

All as they watched.

Waited for these men to make their next move.

Would they leave the S.S Ren Shi, or continue this push and no doubt final act of slaughter?

---Over a hundred guards pour in!---

[22:18] {NARRATION} Guards...

Hundreds upon them all being killed by the blades of these men.

Blood and guts filling these lower levels like a bath as that man now consumed by wrath would continually slam into each of these men.

While all seemed to get away with nothing more than minor bruises and superficial injuries, Dogslayer had the most prolonged exposure.

One such hand reaching out from this warrior, that sinful and pure mana flooding into the mind of this canine killer.

All he could feel was that overwhelming rage of that man now, all he could sense was pure and unfiltered anger swelling throughout him, afflicting his mind in the form of a curse mark soon manifesting upon his face. [Perm, Dogslayer is now irrationally angry all the time. Curse Mark of Wrath afflicted upon him.]

However, just as such a man had finished instilling that rage inside of Dogslayer...

Taiga would be the one to rush forwards, delivering that final blow.

[22:29] Taiga is swift in his deliverance of justice. Absolutely brutal, viciously clawing and slicing his way through a whole crowd of goons as he carves a swathe of destruction through the ship. Those that stand in his way find Taiga as the last thing they see before the light slips from their eyes. Slowly, he's adapting to the usage of this new art, 'redirection'.

The weapons that dive for Taiga's neck are brought out of existence. Disappearing from their hands in a shimmer of green mana before reforming in Taiga's own hands. He didn't even need to draw the massive blade on his back for half of those that approach - they find themselves falling victim to their own weaponry.

By the end of it all, Taiga had become tired of playing games. His blood was screaming in his ears for more - and so he provided. Taiga finally drawing his blade proper and sending it hurtling through the crowd. He's consumed by violence, seeing only red.

He doesn't even notice Dan fall until it's too late. So consumed by his rage he focused only on stomping out what scum remained to stand and fight. It was terrifying... for them. Taiga finally brings himself huffing and puffing over to Dan. Having to literally dope his own bloodstream with some form of sedative to calm himself down enough to think rationally once more.

"...What the hell happened to you?"
(Taiga Rowan)

---The gang finally meets Fat Cheng. No one is willing to negotiate. The battle commences!---

Flames...

Such would engulf this ship the very second this battle had commenced. Massive waves burning from the inside of this ship and quickly sending the entire thing up in a massive vortex of flames.

Knocking aside each as those wings were cleaved by blades, his body being sliced from all angles as he continually dashed forwards with hot coals burning from beneath him.

Hjar would be the first knocked down.

One hand stretching from this man as it would find itself engulfed in flames, his eye being practically ripped from its socket as burns and scars would stretch around the area around what was once his eye. [Perm.]

Tossed aside just as quickly as a piece of this man was stolen.

John would be next, flames quickly engulfing his figure as a massive wave knocked this man back before he even had a second to react. Burn marks scattered along his body, turning pieces of his armor into nothing more than a mess of molten steel that had left considerable burn markings against his body. [Temp, 12 days, no heal.]

Taiga and Dogslayer would be the last men standing, each rushing forwards to deliver that final blow...


He was pissed. Royally pissed. This jink thought he could import drugs into his city? He thought he could corrupt the fine people of Valmasia's colony?

Not on his watch.

Flames roared around the ship as the four of them fought against Fat Cheng, the alleged cousin of Isaac Shimasu - he was blind with rage and rushed in, swinging like a madman. Each chop was like a lightning bolt, and the blood of this criminal fell freely from his wounds, boiling where it landed from the intense, searing heat.

He had one thing in mind. Death. He was going to kill this bastard and make him pay. As he fought, he stopped seeing him as a fat criminal - he started seeing Isaac. He saw him laughing at him. He swung harder and harder, raining down blow after blow with the help of his comrades.

He was completely quiet.

Not his usual self.

As Taiga and Dogslayer raced to finish the motherfucker, Dogslayer shoved Taiga to the side, fuming with rage. He wasn't going to get the last laugh. He wasn't going to steal this from him like he had the last time they'd cleaned up these streets.

He sheathes his sword, shaking with anger. He grabs Cheng by the neck and punches him once, twice. Soon, afterwards, he raises him over his head, grabbing him by the legs with one hand, the torso by the other.

[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHNfvJc99YY ]

He tears him in half with his bare hands, blood and gore raining down onto him. He laughs and throws the man's corpse off to the side.

And then he starts eating. Almost as an afterthought, he turns to John and Hjarbard, wounded, and shouts at them to put out the fire.
(Dan Dogslayer)


Taiga had crawled over many a corpse to get this far. He knew damn well that in the end, he likely had a special place in the afterlife reserved for him - this terrible mixture of good and evil struggling for control in his body. The doubt that plagued him. He knew what he was doing was right. Taking criminals off the street was an objective improvement to the lives of everyone else, wasn't it? With these men dead, everyone in Huangzhou and Dawn would be all the better for it. No more criminal scum mucking up the streets and peddling their illegal goods. But for every man Taiga struck down this day, there was a story to be told. Missteps in life having led them to this point. So surely... surely along the way he had made some missteps of his own, hadn't he? Killed men that didn't need to be killed. Slaughtered people that were close to redemption but Taiga just couldn't see it.

This man was not one of them. He was, in Taiga's eyes, irredeemable scum. Those at the top of these organizations were next the kind worth his mercy. They served to profit off the sufferings of others, and now in a dramatic turn of irony, Taiga was here to profit off his. The blood spilled from the fat man only further empowered the beating he was receiving from all sides.

The flames engulfed the ship in its entirety. Rising to the top and scorching the ceiling of the office, leading to the fight spilling out onto the deck. The magi move in tandem, chasing the kingpin down while dancing atop coals. No one was willing to relent in their pursuit, least of all Taiga. The rotund man simply couldn't keep up with his now far more adept application of Wayfinding in combat - Taiga warping out of the way of his slower, more telegraphed attacks only to dive right back in with his massive blade!

Taiga would throw his blade into the air, the edge gleaming in the light cast by the raging inferno! It shimmers right in front of Cheng's face... and Taiga is quick to teleport in! He snatches it out of the air and SLICES! Blood sprays - and Cheng is left completely blind! Revenge for what he did to Hjar.

Taiga is ready to take the final blow, hissing with his fangs pulled out, ready to tear his face off --

When he's pushed out of the way by Dogslayer, so overcome with rage that he's desperate to get the final blow. What a brutal blow it'd be as well. Literally tearing the man in half. Taiga is knocked aside... and mildly pissed off! But Cheng was dead. That's what mattered... right?

"Keh!" He spits. "...Stop FUCKING EATING corpses!" Taiga aims to pull Dan off! "Do you KNOW what kind of consequences that has on your body?! Your circuitry?! Sors's shitty moon God is probably thinking you look like a delicious snack right now! We need to get the fuck off this ship!"
(Taiga Rowan)

Dogslayer is slurping down Cheng's entrails when Taiga starts yelling at him. He looks up at him and looks furious.

"I'm fucking hungry, Taiga. Get off my ass. We can put this fire out, anyways. Take this ship back to port. It's a good ship."
(Dan Dogslayer)
Taiga Rowan exclaims, "I'M making a portal!"
Taiga Rowan exclaims, "And I'M going home
Taiga Rowan exclaims, "To my HUSBAND. Who cares about me VERY MUCH!
Taiga Rowan says, "YOU can decide if EATING CORPSES is really the place you want to be in your TWENTIES."

Taiga Rowan exclaims, "Because it sure the fuck wasn't for me!"

Taiga Rowan exclaims, "Rowan, out!"

Dan Dogslayer says, "Bye."
Taiga flips Dan off before Wayfinding off the ship.
