Kuzo (Formerly Dosu, changed for obvious reasons), mercanary
Ridge, Reika, Itami, and Shungo
The Dark Pits
--
Kuzo (Dosu) looked up as his brother jumped back what seemed over thirty feet into the towering ocean behind him. He made an obscene finger gesture and then disappeared. Kuzo looked up.
"Oh....crap..."
"Kuzo! What do we do? He's unstoppable! Over the ocean with a full moon!" Ridge yelled as people began to take notice of the giant, flowing waterfall brought before them. Death began to laugh.
Reika attempted to get to Kuzo, but she stopped, jerked in place and then was knocked out by a thick, heavy chunk of ice. Water encircled her, froze and then lifted into the air.
"Now, this wretched hole goes back to where it came. The children will be spared, of course." Death lifted up a hand and Shungo stopped in his tracks, wrenched up, and lifted into the air.
"Put me down ya-hurk!" Shungo was encased in ice an lifted into the air. Kuzo cursed under his breath and lifted his bow. He loaded his own special arrow and took aim. Death laughed and water surrounded Kuzo.
"What can you do, little mercanary? This is Death's night. Noone, of any bending art or strength, can take this night from me," he said, but Kuzo denied him and jumped into the air. Death simply lowered his hand, and the massive waterfall crashed down onto the Dark Pits. Kuzo stopped trying to hit Death and hit the ground. He yelled at Ridge.
"Ridge! Get ready to-" water suddenly flooded over them, and soon, all of the Dark Pits was washed away. Docks and boats flipped into the air and it was almost as if the sea was finally cleaning the filth from it's own peaks. The cliffside crashed and rocked as decks flew aside and people were lost at sea. Kuzo was thrown into the air and fell to the very bottom of the cliffside. As his head popped above the water, Ridge suddenly fell head first into the ocean infront of him.
"What do we do now?!" he yelled.
"Swim!"
"What? Why?
"JUST SWIM!"
Kuzo began swimming but suddenly the collapse of the entire Dark Pits behind them caused the ocean to become fast and violent once more. They were lucky to not have slammed into the side of the cliff. They twisted and twirled and soon they cleared the massive, violent wave of destruction.
A piece of the docks was still floating. Kuzo grabbed onto it and pulled himself up. He then eached down and grabbed Ridge. They both panted and huffed, trying to get their breathing back under control. Ridge looked up at Kuzo.
"Your paycheck better be damn well worth it."
"It....it is."
"Good. Because it's not just a pat on the back and a job well done, right?"
Kuzo looked up at him and said nothing.
"Oh it IS just pats and smiles then huh?"
Kuzo went to salvaging what was around them. He grabbed up a nearby tarp and a pole. He began to fashion them a boat.
"Well that's just FANTASTIC!" Ridge yelled, as he sprawled out onto the boat. "So, what do we do now?"
"We visit a friend."
"Who?"
"Someone who will know about The Twelve."
"That is?"
"...We call him Smiley."
