Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Trisha!" *turns around to see Trisha look different* "Trisha... Is that reallyyou"

Still up looking, I pay close attention. Everyone seems to be heading down into that cave...i may as well follow them. I mean, that has to be a lead, doesnt it? the blind ninja had already gone down, as far as i could see, so i stealthily made my way over.
When i got within earshot, however, i noticed that the conversation was more so of melencholy content; this cave didnt seem to have anything to do with Diasha, but it did stir up some arousal. I notice the Blind Ninja turn his attention towards me, and i freeze in place. I wondered how it was that he could find me, but no matter...things were finally getting interesting around here.
The sun beat down onto everyone, and i stayed bone still debating:
Did i need to interfer just yet?

"Then you shold keep you mouth closed. Al you've done so far is talk about your past. Now well see how good you really are" With this words, he points into the cave entrance. The girls see nothing at the start, but then a light beam goest right into Trisha... and it's coming form Toshiro's chest... from his amulet.
Before anyone can react, Trisha screams, as a shadow comes out of her, and takes a human shape, each holding a katar. The shadow heads to the blind ninja, who dodges right in time, jumping out of the way.

"Young warriors, meet the Herdar!"
The monster looks around, as if wondering who to attack next. Trisha is ok again, just a little confused, and Toshiro is in sight. Since they're the closest, seems like the monster is headed for Yemaya and Diamond...

"what did you just say to me?" *takes her katana toKarsh neck* "your lucky that i want just kill you here" *then notice the shadows* "what the hellO.O!" *notice the monster coming at her and Yemaya* "Yemaya!watch out!" *pushes Yemaya away from the monster.Takes her katana and stabs it in the monster heart* "what are you doing,you could have killed us!"

I had come down fromt he tree and was in plain sight by now...why the amulet shot Trisha, i didn't know. All i knew was there was action, and i was ready. Wish a garish smirk on my face, i erupted forward.
In a matter of second-fractions, i was over the monsters seemingly dying body, my katana drawn. As Diamond, Yemaya and Trisha each approach the Blind Ninja, i notice he has not stopped giving attention to Herdar. I look down, and see the wound Diamond's sword had made was swirling into a vertex, repairing itself...I quickly jumped away as the monster stood up with explosive speed and strength; the force from this movement alone knocked all of us back and onto the ground. The blind ninja, Diamond, and myself were back to our feet at once, and Diamond and I charge forth. Karsh seemed to be observing, despite his blindness. She and i slash at the monster, who is obviously no match for either of us, when i come to a horrible realization; Diamond was keeping up with me. As we both attacked in sync, i felt for my amulet. The broken chain dangled from my neck, and a wayward glance revealed the amulet to be in Karsh's hand. Rage surged through my veins, but i couldnt break my concentration. I turn back to the monster, who had retreated a little. Diamond stayed back at my position, her guard up. The monster clasped its hands together, its eyes fixed on us. Diamond and I both dropped our guard, and our eyes widened.

The monster let out a deafening roar, and the ground shook as diamond and i lept high into the air. A wave sped across the ground, wrecking trees and earth as it progressed. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" both diamond and i yelled at once, followed by a puzzled look from us each. Yemaya and Trisha both lept just enough to evade the attack, but karsh simply stood there. The attack passed right through him; he wasnt even phased by it. Meanwhile, as Diamond and i land, we both dash forward, katana drawn. With almost blinding speed, we approach him. Stopping for a moment before we strike, we notice the monster not even attempting to block anything. We separate in level, striking in both the neck and midsection region. The monster dispersed into the air, and i begun to sheath my blade, when suddenly Diamond placed her sword to my neck.

I hated to take orders from anyone....

I dashed forward none the less. As we approached the monsters, i slashed right through mine and did something no one else expected. I lept in the air and aimed a kick right at the blind ninja's head. He dodge the blow swiftly and looked in my general direction. He then cracked a smile and began to take off his headband...

Diamond looked on, as though i had done something horrible, when Karsh had completely removed his headband. His eyes, a glowing white-silver, glared as his smile grew more and more sinister. In his right hand he held the amulet, which began to glow brightly. He took a step towards me, and the ground below him began to crack.

I put up my guard, looking to Diamond, then Trisha and Yemaya, then back to Diamond. Karsh, in a blur of light and dust, dissappeared. We all looked around wildly to see where he had gone.

Suddenly, he appeared behind Diamond, and landed a crushing blow to the back of her head. She flew nearly 20 ft and landed at my feet, bloody and battered, as Karsh disappeared again. I whirled around and took a step back as he appeared silently behind me, and our weapons clashed over Diamond, who was still on the ground.
