Axelito's asskicking

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

DAMN! Akima couldn't help but be surprised, at the speed he was going most beings in gaia would simply not be able to keep track of him, much less react in time at such a close range. It seemed he would have to keep pushing the envelope to see how far this would go...

Instantly as his words emit from his mouth AKima tosses the kunai in his left hand into the air above them, all the while crouching down to Tarik's level as his hands then turn into a visual blur of motion. ...aight, let's see you dodge this... Second right after he says this three more Akimas appear surrounding Tarik, one to each side and one more behind him. Immediately after they all jump back about five feet and at the same time display another blur of hand signs, only this time the final hand sign would be tiger seal made over each of their mouths. KATON! Ryuuka no Jutsu!

As Akima breathed in and then let out his chakra, he created four identical 5'wx7'l streams of fire, each centrally aimed slightly a foot to the left of Tarik. Seeing as they all jumped five feet back the would all be unharmed, but in a 6' diameter around Tarik everything would be engulfed. The four streams of fire exploded onto Tarik from all four directions, if he didn't react in what took Akima about two seconds he would once again be susceptible to second degree burns.

SHEAT!! this doesn't look good as Tariks says this he only think of one thing to do, as seem there is not many choices from what he can do to react to this attack. I am going to regret this in the morning... that is if I make it to tomorrow. Tarik sences wich one is the real akima within a second and as akimas begins to launch his attack he dives in to the flame as fast as possible in a stabbing motion with his rapier in an attempt to hit his target stopping the attack before he suffers more burns.

((JAJA, diablo te guillas axelito...))

This man called Tarik was indeed full of surprises, but Akima knew he had to have some sort of heightened sense to perceive who was who and where they were, I mean he's wearing a blindfold for Pete's sake. Keeping this in mind, Akima was no dummy, which is why he created kage shadow clones, to make it even harder for Tarik to track him... but he had yet another trick up his sleeve, or should i say in the air.

HENGE!

As Tarik stabs away at what he believes to be the "real" Akima's torrent of fire, yet another Akima appears out of a puff a smoke in the middle of the air. Right where the tossed kunai would be, Akima came down at Tarik like a meteor with a charged electric right hand.

Seeing as Tarik was so focused on stabing away at a very fiery and loud fire torrent, the fact that this "new" Akima would be percieved coming in for the kill would be very slim. But to Tarik's advantage he manages to stab the clone in time to stop the fire from administrating third degree burns, which in turn causes all the three other previous clones to vanish in the same loud puff of smoke and all the fire streams to stop. But it might have been to late, because as Tarik victoriously stands accomplished the other Akima is sweeping in from behind in a crouched position. With his right electric hand only protruding the index and the middle finger, Akima stabs Tarik right in his a*****e, instantly sending waves of electricity into Tarik's a**s and up his spinal column. Making sure that he would either loose consciousness or become paralyzed in the process, and perhaps fly off about ten feet(like they do back at Konoha).

DENDOU SENNEN GOROSHI!

((... sorry man, too easy))  

[Shin Huchiro]

((I like ninjas as much as the next guy... just not in your hands >_>))

As Tarik flies throu the air paralyzed, burned and almost naked by the attack and the flames, Tarik begins to meditate blocking out the pain of the burns and shock to his spinal cord. Also tariks meditation is an attempt to neutralize the effects of the paralysis for at least a few minutes.

Tarik realizes that he is about to land in a near by river as he hears the stream of the water and so he takes a very deep breath before he lands in the river wich had a pretty good stream and a bare body that cant move would not be able to avoid being dragged by the current...

What the HELL WAS THAT AKIMA?!

OH s**t!

The clone realized what he had done a little too late, no matter how many times he would deny it, AKima loved fighting. Akima was the kind of fighter that get's real involved in a fight and realizes how far he might have gone slightly afterward. Seeing Tarik's body flies through the air headfirst into the riverbank, he quickly ran after him and jumped about three seconds after him and grabbed onto a rope that was conveniently thrown from under the bridge.

Clumsy, it's what he was known for, and taking it a bit to far... that was definitely clumsy. As Tarik flew into the river below the bridge he might have caught a glimpse of another Akima crouching in the support beams, quickly letting loose some very thick rope.

About three seconds after Tarik hit the water he would hear another splash not far from him, and if he could look he would see the same Akima that had pierced him now swimming towards him. Reaching him, AKima grabs hold of him and ties him up in a manner that his wrists are tied to it as well, after which he signals the other Akima under the bridge to pull him up. Slowly, because as strong as Akima might be, the current adds a significant amount of pounds to Tarik's weight, he pulls him up under the bridge... now soaking wet and slightly under-dressed for the occasion.  

[Shin Huchiro]

as Akima finishes pulling Tarik under the bridge Tarik turns his rapier with his wrist and cuts the wropes that were tying him to akima, afterwards he does a back flip yet as he lands and imidietly falls on one knee, as thou he manages to neutralize the pain and the paralyze effects but not completely, his body is still under a lot of pressure and stress.

why do you insist on attacking me?

saying this tarik makes a big and painful effort to stand up straight and stand on a esgrima defense position...  

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

Akima tilts his head back in surprise, as Tarik is somehow still able to not only cut himself loose, but has the strength to maneuver aerially and still strike a defensive position. Wow, you sure can take a beating... what's your name again? Of course Akima knew his name, it was merely a formality that, even though pointless, still he liked to carry out.  

[Shin Huchiro]

tariks vision begins to become blurry as he barelly hears akimas question. Names tarik... but... again why...are...y...ou atta...
tarik is unable to finish the sentences as he collapses again from the stress and pressure that his body is enduring trying to maintain on foot. Tarik falls down face down to the ground.  

[{Son of a Battlecry}]

((he would fall face down on the support beams that are under the bridge, i never moved away from that spot and neither did you, keep all things accounted for man *hint: if you've been away from the rp for a while and can't really remember whats been going on, read back like five posts, that should catch you up and refresh your memory))

The Akima he was speaking to quickly grabs hold of him, before he falls down into the river again, and they disappear in a flash of light that engulfs them both. A second later, near the far end of the bridge, a portal of light appears and out walks Akima with Tarik's limp body hanging from his right shoulder. As the portal of light dissipates into reality, the real Akima comes out of the bushes near the tree where the sheath was tossed.

I got him...
Is he still alive?
Why does everyone ask me that- ... you know what?, yes, he is indeed...
Good, bring him in.
Copy, Light-nin heading home.
