Here I come... The Start of a Journey

[Retane]

Ninja, elves, and goblins converged on their spot. Arith and Inirtias also, were in sight. The Horseman a took a breath and looked at the ninja behind him, "This looks like it's going to be bad, If I kill your people for attacking me, how will the others respond?"

"Exactly like you presume. They will try to kill you. So you will have to kill them as well. But I don't feel like that happening. How about I have Alaina cast a jutsu on you four that will have you marked as allies" The ninja stated. "That will stop Airyonna from killing you, maybe. But attacking and and hurting any of the ninja or elves could be bad, even if Alaina manages to send a message throughout the groups."

"Alaina?" The Emerald Warrior glanced at the woman knelt down at the scroll was that the one the Ninja was talking about? Or was it the sword weilder?

"Yeah", The most verbal ninja stated as he motioned to the one knoelt down. "She's skilled in a few special jutsu's that allow her do such thing as well as a few other tricks."

Retane took the words in and had to let out a smirk that threw them all off, "So, if I walked out in that direction, and obliterated all the goblins it might makes things a bit easier?" The namekian's energy showed then, in a dark red and black mixture. There was an aura surrounding him and even Jack reached out to touch him to make sure he wasn't seeing things. It was harmless but the ground beneath The Horseman began to quake and kick up as his ki licked up at the sky.

"I don't think that's.... what.. I said", The ninja murmured with a cautious eye.

The Emerald Fiend let out a laugh and glanced towards Jack, " I'm about to go ahead and see if I can end this battle here an now. But, I want you to do me a favor and guard my comrades in case anything happens. You say you think you are here to guard me, so lets see. Oh and don't worry about Iirtias and Arith, they can handle their own, or die. It's what they were meant to do."

Retane stepped away then as Jack, and even the ninja, scoffed and tried to create sentences that simply fell on daf ears. He took a step in the direction of the horde of neanderthals, then another and another. The Emerald Warrior took a long deep breath and then exhaled a roar, "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

The namekian tried to concentrate as he powered up using his lungs to represent and release the tension his body felt as he asceneded in strength. His muscles flexed as he stepped forward and his energy pulsed with in him. His hands filled with green energy as he let his strength level out. He felt the orgosynth trying it's hardest to keep up, but it still fed off of his agression. The Namekian lowed himself then as his aura flared and the energy in his palms grew slightly.

The Emerald Fiend had a nasueating feeling that this was not his first time doing this, but again he felt like this was going to be the greatest way to finish this before it got too ugly. That, or it was going to paint a huge target on his back, and then it would just get interesting. Retane took in one more breath and settled himself. He was getting ansy to see what kind of damage he could do. His eyes set upon the hands of energy and he let out a slight grin.

"So do you ever stop and think about the people you've killed?", Tapion was leaning agasint a large obelisk looking at the Brave Sword he held in his hands. " I mean, I know you have killed plenty of people, probably even many whose faces you have never seen. Do you ever have any regret for doing it?"

Retane had been staring off into the horizon. They had just saw to it that every warrior on the battlefeild had ceased to live. They were paid for it and promised a difficult time. This seemed more like a walk in the prak for the two. Now, the Konat was asking him deep thinking questions. He seemed to have the words that would always hit him hard, but he wouldn't let it show. The namek let the mohekian think he hadn't heard him for a few moment's then looked down at a body nearby.

"Sometimes", he answered after a few moments thoughts, "I'm namkeian, remember? It's hard not for me to think about things and my actions. You have to realize, that I have killed many and saved many. Like here. We have ended a war and saved extinction, or even worst, the slavery of a race. Hopefully they can resolve their issues and learn to work together now. If not then we tried and we got paid. On to bigger and better things."

"Oh come off it. You don't do it for the money; you do it for the challenge. And is it right to kill all these people? Wasn't there another way?" Tapion threw his sword across his back.

"Couldn't find one. These guys signed up for the risk of dying. Just like we signed up for dying by the risk of failure. None of them got to live though, because it removes all threats of either side having an army." The namekian took a few seconds to think and shrugged, "Sometimes you have to make touch choices..."

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-' The Emerald Fiend thrust one hand forward, then the other, pulling back and letting lose orb of energy after orb of energy. His barrage of energy hit hellion after hellion, some missing and kicking up dust and debri intotheir eyes. Still he fired on , in his barrage assault. He had chose to use the move dubbed the Scatter Shot. It was suppose to be a machine gun like volleyof fierce power agaisnt those in the air but on the ground, it had a bit more suceess as it was easier to avoid the ground in it's radius. It however, didn't stop him from haulting the charge of the three sides as their were all hindered from sight., and possibly his show of power

He pumped his arms in rapid suscession, releasing a huge amount of power but had to stop as he felt his power draining. Sweat beaded his brow and started to pour down into his eyes. He felt the fatigue coming on and launched a final blast and collapse to a knee. He was tired, but couldn't help but grin. He glanced up as he caught his breath, looking on, waiting for the dust to settle. As it did though, he was more then a little surprised.

The Emerald Warrior had been all but surrounded. The only opening was infront of him, to let him see the carnage he had created. He saw the black blood and unmoving burnt corpses. If any had fled, he didn't know. Retane stood then and looked left, then right. Jack, Arith Inirtias, Sverit, Gulish and the three ninja he hadn't killed were ar his rear. Ninja were on his right with the elves on his left.

Airyonna stepped forward, with a the crowd murmuring. Retane locked eyes with her and she seemed annoyed, "Who are you and who do you think you are getting involved here? You just killed them all. Why?"

"Retane of The Horsemen. You should know the name because I am here to stay. and I killed them because it seemed like it would end this battle. I saved you many lives lost here, I don't see the issue.Plus, they shot me first." The Emerald Fiend pointed at the wound in his arm then looked around and heard mumurs among the crowd. "This is my home now. Anyone that gets in my way can die as well."

The two elves that the Namekian Warrior had 'made fall', had stirred and were talking hostily in their language.

The Horsemen looked on at the lead ninja, and grinned. She snarled and charged she pulled out two sai's and aimed for the namek's chest. Retane responded with a risky move. He looked left as if intrigued by sometihng then and his chest wide open, faking a chance. He looked back at last moment and palmed the point of the three pronged weapon. The center blade peirced his palm, however Frost appeared with his staff, and froze around the second sai that the namek was gonna catch and put towards her throat.

"STOP!!!"Jack's yell was loud and it haulted alot of commotion.

The namekian looked down at the small wall that the Guardian had created and was annoyed as it hindered his main trick.. The Emerald Fiend closed his fingers around the sai, and yanked it out of the konouchi's hand, then pulled it out with his free hand. His purple blood dripped from a clinched fist with a hole in the palm. Retane finally looked at Jack who had a weird visage. It was that look that actually reminded him of his old friend and it made The Horseman pause for a second, "I'm sorry..."

He snapped back to himself as he saw Arith pacing around in his golden armor. He didn't have his saber's, but it was obvious he planned to hurt someone if they came up agressive. Inirtias was there, speaking a languange he didn't know trying to calm down the other elves. The Lythian was most likely explaining everything and even though the two previous hotheads kept shouting angrily. It was obvious they were mad they had been bested, but should be lucky they were alive. The Emerald Warrior thought so, at least. Still, he was tired.

"Aryonna, stand down for once. He helped us. He's a Prime. He's actually honorable... I think."

The konouchi looked towards the knuckle blade ninja and barked, "So you, Asuma, would ally with this orc-swine?"

Asuma tucked away his blades and lit another cigarette. "He hasn't killed us? He didn't kill those two elves. He was about to wreck your day till 'Ice Boy' showed up and stopped him. This wasn't our objective, remember. We were here to catch that slippery bastard. Seems we failed."
