Welcome to Gaia! ::

Him smiles and pushes Genji back a couple feet. "Simple really. I was around when they sealed their powers away in these circles. I, Maxwell Yggdrasill, was alive 400 years ago...sealed away by the original Kage for my power. You see, I wasn't from around here. One day, I arrived here in the village and built a mansion. There, I conducted experiments, engineering new abilities, and then infusing them into my bloodline. However, I kept the most powerful secret sealed away for myself." He raises his sword and says, "This blade. 400 years after casting it into the black abyss of hereafter, Yamisuka assisted me to retrieve it. And he thought he was stopping me...pitiful!! All he did was send me there, but I was already bound by a pact established 400 years ago upon my death." Him smiles and looks down. "Oh, the joy that was there. It was incredible! Everyone was glad to see me die. My last jutsu bound my soul to a contract." He stops suddenly and focuses his chakra. "I feel I've rambled. Lets get back to the part where I absorb your chakra...completely!!" Him dashes forward and brings his sword down over Genji.

Him draws his blade upwards and blocks the attack. "Chakra control eh? Fine then, feed the Apocalypse Jutsu...and bring Hidden Gaia to its end!!" Him's sword begins absorbing the chakra. Suddenly, it reaches its peak. Him draws the sword back and jumps back several feet. He forms several hand signs, causing the chakra to drain into his hand. He clenches his hand tightly as all the chakra is drawn out of his sword into his palm. All the chakra stops when empty and Him opens his hand. A small scroll has appeared there, sealed with a seal made of hardened blood. "Another interesting trait I developed. The Apocalypse Jutsu consumes vast amounts of chakra, more than even the Kage possess. So, I developed a way to store it externally, and when needed, unseal it!" The scroll disappears into thin air as Him smiles. "Continue please. I need more power, I think you are the conduit I needed!" Him clenches his sword as it flashes violet and dashes forward, slashing again at Genji.

Him frowns slightly, then grins. "Better hope it finishes me fully. Or else the blade will simply protect me." Him sits down, sheathing his blade across his back. He closes his eyes and begins meditating, muttering odd prayers as he waits. His chakra swells up around him with every word, stronger and stronger.

Him ducks down, dodging the strike. He jumps and lands a foot away, drawing out his sword. "I am impressed! You created a sword using your own chakra." He smiles and says, "You want power, right? Why fight when you can escape the inevitable and live? Hm?" He digs his sword into the ground, brings it up, sending a large tile of stone flying at Genji.

"Oh well," Him says as he shrugs. "Just wanted to ask." His Chakra flared up, creating wisps of black fire to spin around his body. "So when you beg for mercy...I won't have to listen to it." Him dashed forward focusing his chakra into his palm. He brought his sword horizontally, faster then earlier.

Him allows the katana to grow, and it stabs into his chest. He looks down at it and smiles. He grabs and yanks it out. He pushes forward with force and brings his own sword into a stab. "I don't pay for my crimes. Others do that for me."

"I'm curious. How do you expect to kill me? After all, I took a stab at it, and I'm still here." Him said with a wide smile on his face.

"You know...my offer still stands. You can walk away now, and I'll let you live. However, you continue this fight and I will simply cut you down. Think about it..." Him reaches into his coat and draws out a small book, entitled, "The Zombie Survival Guide". He sits down and flips open the pages, reading intently, but keeping an eye on Genji.
