The rain of blood intensifies, the wind and the rumblings of thunder accompany it, and a very dangerous confrontation is about to break out in the ruins of an ancient city
Ao and the prophet look at each other intensely, waiting to see who will make the first move..
Sneering mouth closed, calm
Points at Ao
Frightening smile, trembles with excitement and anticipation
Ao crunches his right index finger and blood drips from it, showing it to the prophet from afar
Comes up to Ao very quickly with a wild thirsty look, and looks at his index finger very closely, holding his wrist tightly
Starts to cry, and gently releases Ao''s wrist
Ao looks in shock at the prophet
As the prophet cries louder and louder.. the assassins behind him also begin to cry, get down on their knees and pray with their hands
Closes in on Ao''s face with a sad look
Embarrassed look.. and empathetic “I''m not a blood fanatic like you.. but.. I understand-” Gets interrupted
Suddenly gets angry “IT''S BECAUSE OF THIS BENEDICTION... MALEDICTION... BENEDICTION..”
The prophet shakes more and more, and seems to be more and more mentally unstable
Ao looks at the young woman mourning the body of her orc friend
The prophet starts to get agitated, shout, get angry, panic, get irritated, get dangerously excited and scratch his skin heavily... to the point where he starts to bleed.. more and more
Shouts frantically, looks at Ao with yellow eyes, and starts crying blood
Suddenly, Kin and Gin arrive at the ruins, and view the scene from a dilapidated rooftop
Shouts “YUMI!!!”
Ao looks in the direction of the voice, and sees Gin and his brother on a roof
Cries out “Mu.. THEY KILLED MU!!!” Hugs the rest of the orc''s battered body
Kin wears a face of sadness and great anger... and directs his gaze at the prophet and Ao, ready to attack them
Looks at Kin... and realizes he''s about to attack the prophet in the middle of a psychotic break
Kin leaps from the roof, appears next to the prophet, and throws a powerful punch
Enhance: Right Punch MAXIMUM OUTPUT”
As Kin throws his punch.. the prophet stops it with a wave of his hand, without any difficulty, completely immobilizing Kin''s body
Turns his bloody head towards Kin
The Prophet releases a red aura, and displays an absolutely terrifying power that seems insurmountable to Kin, Gin and Yumi
Turns to Gin “Gin!!! GET OUT OF HERE!!!”
As the prophet lunges to throw a fatal punch at Kin...
His blow is stopped by an earthen structure that appears in front of him
Appears behind Kin and incants “Chikyu: Wall”
However, the earthen structure that Gin had incanted is instantly destroyed by the prophet''s blow, and rushes towards them to deliver the final blow...
But a blue light appears in front of them and takes the blow
Stands between Gin, Kin and the prophet, head down, and stops the prophet''s punch with both arms
Lifts his head and looks at the prophet with a look of blue fire
Silence fills the scene... and Ao prepares to have to fight a serious opponent
Growls and shouts in a broken voice “Rivers of Blood”
The rain intensifies very strongly, and all the blood on the ground quickly gathers to create great currents that head towards Ao and the others
Ao throws a super-powerful punch in front of him, causing the earth to rise with a great shockwave to stop the currents advancing towards them and temporarily hide from the prophet and his assassins

He then runs very quickly towards Yumi and grabs her by force, leaving Mu''s body behind them. He then reappears towards Kin and Gin and throws Yumi to the ground
Closes his eyes and concentrates
Suddenly, a red and black silhouette appears above them, and prepares to hit Ao with a flying kick, but is intercepted by Kin
Enhance: Full Body MAXIMUM OUTPUT” Punches the figure
Another red and black silhouette appears next to Kin and is about to hit him, but Yumi intercepts it
DA DA DA DA DA DA” Rush the silhouette with punches
Author''s note: This is not a technique, it''s just Yumi going wild
The prophet starts to destroy the great uprising of earth that Ao has caused, and Gin tries to hold him back as best he can with his earthbending techniques
Arises from the earthen wall, rushes at Ao and the group, and shouts “GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD!!!”
Places his hands on the ground, conjures a circle around them and incants
Teleportation”
A blinding light envelops the group in the circle, and they disappear... leaving a great ball of blue energy behind them, which explodes just after their teleportation
The group is swept away into what looks like an endless tunnel, without light or darkness..
They''re bewildered.. Has the teleportation gone wrong?!
Gin tries to open his eyes, but can''t see anything.. but he feels something deep inside him..
Something, someone, is holding him back.. He feels a great, inexplicable unease, as if he''s remembering.. someone else''s life?
He hears a voice... familiar, maternal
Gin hears a child laughing.. who is this child?
He wonders why, he remembers this
The descent of the endless tunnel suddenly stops... and the uneasiness intensifies, more deeply, like a forced tearing away of something vital
It''s as if.. he feels his mind twisting and freeing itself from chains, anchored in his memories, his appearance, his..
CONSCIOUSNESS|EXISTENCE
Gin cries out in.. pain?! or does he cries out in.. joy?!
What''s his name? Gin? or...
Teleportation”
Ao and the group find themselves.. in the air, high above the red desert of Artand
Ao moves through the air, carrying the 3 companions as best he can, and descends at full speed over the red desert, next to what looks like the entrance to a canyon cave
He lands, cushioning the fall by emitting a shockwave with his legs, then throws his 3 companions into the cave entrance
Gently approaches the cave entrance, and takes a closer look at Gin''s face
Ao looks at Yumi and Kin''s faces, and sees the same disfigurement
He sees a device protruding from Kin''s pocket, like an augmented-reality telescope
Passes his eye over the scope, and sees a computerized and holographic window

ERROR REPORT: STATISTICS NOT IN LINE WITH PENDRAGON STANDARDS
Sigh Maybe I''m actually wrong...
Suddenly, someone stands behind Ao, and lunges to attack
Enhance: Right” Throws a right punch
Ao stops the person''s fist with his palm, and sighs in exasperation
Crunching his teeth hard “YOU MONSTER, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO US?!”
Pushes back fist with palm and makes Kin back away hard
Gets into fighting stance “Enhance: Full Body MAXIMUM OUTPUT”
Snaps fingers and neck, and slowly approaches Kin
Ao looks at Kin with a goofy grin, he thinks this lesson is a joke...
But Ao is very serious... I think?
