Zone A -- Lowlands

[Dust]

Something ran deeper in Dust and Takezo, something that genetics couldn't ever bridge between them, but ironically blood was a factor in their unison. While Takezo was more Demon than man, and Dust more man that Beast, they both carried war in their hearts; monsters in their souls.. The predators lowered their bodies as they raced for their prey, inside the promise of battle left them lighter than air, and the scent of blood in the air hardened their focus. Without speaking the two have become one machine, the powerful legs that have already ran so many miles carried them across the last few meters to their quarry. Dust's bulkier build was meant for power, but he managed to keep up with Takezo, or did the older man know the value of intimidation and merely bridled his blood lust just long enough to close the distance. 

Bendy moved into position, clenching his fists, barking his orders for Abyss to prepare herself for the fight, promising to come between her and the Demon with the blade; A promise he would not be keeping today. Like two wolves that have hunted together all their lives, the two began to move into a confusing arrangement where Dust shot to the left and Takezo shot to the right, zig-zagging to confuse their enemies. But Bendy was a smart guy, as smart as any other guy; smarter than the average guy for sure, he'd fix them. But the black and white ink creature was doomed to fail because these too had their priorities, and he was second on the list. Takezo fell back behind Dust as if he was going to use him as a shield, a distraction for his first attack, but Bendy was obviously smarter than these fools! He prepared his first attack, a head on collision between him and the towering human would not be easy or fast, but he could take him buy surprise!

About 10 feet in front of Bendy the swordsman pulled away in a full dash, passing Bendy up for the delicious looking Calamari girl, which left Dust to him. So much for their hurried plans, but that changed nothing between Dust and himself! But a skillful jump over the cartoon character would. While Takezo closed the distance between Abyss, staring into her very soul with those same dark demonic eyes that had crippled her in the Dojo; the disturbingly dark glare she was not able to meet before, Dust's shadow flew across Bendy's form from 7 feet in the air. He seemed to hover, if only because of how fast the fight was already going, before gravity pulled him back to the ground and Abyss. All 230 pounds of his weight set to land on her in the ungraceful form of a raw tackle that threatened to fail but the double feint left Takezo free to cut her down..

It occurred to him mere moments before landing he should have a weapon. Now was the moment of truth! He tried to transform, but something inside clamped down on his form that left him with a headache and thick razor sharp claws that reach an inch off his finger tips, a slight pain in his mouth, and the one feeling he hoped he'd never experience again. It crept into his nervous system, a twinge of impulse that told him he may have escaped his life from before, but neither without power or the cost of that power.

Action: Dust jumps over Bendy to tackle Abyss after growing out his nails.

A Pup’s Claw:
Dust’s basic attack is partially transforming by elongating his nails. The nails become harder and black, growing out to only about an inch longer than normal. This happens over a matter of seconds, and lasts until he uses another ability. 
-The cost for this is a simple kiss that lasts 3 seconds at least. (Done before, during, or after the fight.)
