Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Sorry man, I'm a bust also. I'll post tonight after my classes so around 5-10pm I'll be sure to post. Again, much like you I had midterms last week/this week, so it's be rough and I understand 3nodding

EDIT: Alright, midterms FINALLY over, so I can get back to this fight. At this point it doesn't matter who wins since the Clan Tournament is already over, but I want to go with this to see how far my RPing skills can take me in here.)

The smoke cleared silently around the boy below Kei and now he saw what the new opponent was that stood before him. In front of him, what looked like a LARGE metallic shield, even bigger then Ketsu stood slightly before him. It's metalic blank stare just looked forward and there seemed nothing out of sorts with this new metallic object before him scared with debris and fire burns. Suddenly, a loud *CLANK* rang out as from behind the shield, a pair of large...Pincers? Yes, wooden and saw metallic Pincers raised from the top corners of the shield standing in the air. From it's aside, another series of 6 *CUNK*s shot out as from it's side, evenly sized and shaped legs came out of it. It balanced for a few moments before the large shield spun and fell unto it's front exposing a small clicking head in the front as Ketsu was seen now behind the creature with his companion Hebi around his neck. The entire time, Ketsu had used this thing's large back as a shield. This wasn't a Shield! It was a Giant Crab! Ketsu stood starting up slightly with his hand forward as if keeping the new creature on a leash. With a flick of his wrist, the creature's inner facial began to illuminate with a faint blue glow as it clicked its head and began to move.

Crab: Uuuurrr.....
Hebi: Kee, Kee, kee! About time!
Ketsu: .........
Hebi: Keeeeeeei....Meet our friend, "Kani", Kee, kee, keee!
Kani: Uuuurrr?

(Now, I haven't gotten a chance to get Nekage to draw up the design format to this puppet, but the outer shield design was based on the "Millennium Shield" as seen here although the color difference and lower eye designs are modified so it's JUST an eye.)

(If I may ask something one this.

1) I thought the barrier thing was a trip trap, hence the moment you trip it, it goes off. With that info in mind, wouldn't the barrier thing have gone down by now since I was able go outside it, but you detonated it off.

And 2) Just how many of these kunai bombs can one possibly have? confused Not to sound like an a**, but you seriously must've at this point thrown like over 50 or some of them. )

[Due to the nature of this battle not continuing for about three weeks, it is a tie.]
