Yeah...
Well, today was going great. For some reason, though, I'm depressed now. I even expanded my "roar meter" today.. my Maximum Roar is louder, stronger.. and yet.. for some reason, I can't smile, I can't be happy. I mean, Teh Fro's birthday is tomorrow, he'll no longer be a minor.. I should be happy for that much, shouldn't I? Well... I'll shut up, because if you're reading this, two things are circulating through your mind: "When the fuck is he gonna shut up?" and "I came here to read the goddamn story, quit your fucking whining!"
So, I'll get to the more important thing, and the reason you came here; teh story.
Back to the Hakai Senpuu.
The morning after the fated encounter between the future brothers, they awoke to the pounding on the door of the small home they'd invaded. The three warriors arose swiftly, bearing their arms, and stepped to the door. Saxx whispered to the Outsider.
"Will you join us, at least for now, Lord Outsider?" He asked quietly, and was answered with a slight nod. Saxx made the assumption that someone had survived last night, and sought help from the nearby castle of Guo Zhyang. He knocked down the door with a swift shoulder tackle, and stepped out into the dust with his great sword in hand; he looked around, and saw six platoons of six soldiers. Behind one, though, he spotted a young girl. She could only be scarcely older than he himself was; she had long black hair and her skin was slightly tanned more, from field work, he assumed, by her peasant clothing. He frowned, and stepped forward.
"If any of you wish to... no." He started, and then snarled. "You've angered me! I'll not let a single one of you escape the Wrath of Saxerei Jiryounen Kitase!" He roared angrily, calling out his full name for the first known time. He hauled his great sword up, and flew at the first platoon with amazing speed; he hacked the entire troupe in half with a single swipe, without meeting any resistance. Their blood splattered across the ground, fanning out from him; their innards did as well, when the bodies settled against the dust. He turned and used his turning force to decapitate most of the platoon near the house, and hopped to the next, doing the same as he did with the first. He continued to hack the peons into pieces until only two soldiers and the girl were left; he stared at them, his pupils red and his eyes bloodshot; he'd had a taste of blood, and couldn't control himself. The two peons, he noticed up close, weren't peons; they were head generals of the nearby castle. They raised their dual notched blades, and circled him.
"You two.. you saw what I did to your men." Saxx said calmly, sheathing his great sword on his back, and placing his hand on the hilt of his katana. "If you do not wish to die, I offer... no. I said I won't offer any forgiveness or escape. You both die, here." Saxx said, dashing forward for the closest one. His eyes widened in fear, but he raised his notched blades to block with; he did so successfully, his blades catching Saxx's katana; but, Saxx raised his left hand and pulled his great sword from its sheath, and quickly sheared the weak warrior's legs from his body, and kicked the torso away; he sheathed his great sword again, and turned to the other.
He was grinning, though.
"You're the great warrior, the brother of the Demon Beast of the Battlefield, aren't you? The legendary warrior who slew the fabled hero, Jhun Sei; and he was considered by all to be invincible. You killed him with your bare hands against his magic and sword, didn't you? Yes.. my father was in that battle. You are a legend among even gods. And now.. now I can duel you myself. Don't write me off.. I shall be your end, demon!" He cried, and flew forward, blades poised. Saxx feigned a strike, and when the nameless warrior moved to guard, Saxx slipped to the right, and brought his elbow into his foe's skull, knocking him out. He spit on him, and kicked him several meters away.
"Fool. I'll let you live, for I can see you have potential to join me. But I shall allow you to fester and learn all you can, until true stagnation claims your skills; then, and only then, shall I show you the path to true power." He said, and then turned to the girl, whom he'd used his chakra to bind to the ground.
"And you... tried to have these weaklings assault *us*!?" He said, laughing loudly. He stepped closer, his nose to hers.
"Tell me your name, *peasant*." He said, emphasizing the humiliating title.
"... I am called Gabriel." She said. This caused him to laugh again.
"A man's name for such a petty little girl? Hmph. For such acts against me, I should kill you. But you're not worth the time." He said, and untied his chakra chains. He raised his hand, and flicked her chest with his thumb lightly; it struck with enough force, though, to send her flying into the remains of a shack. He motioned for the others to follow.
