Ribbit, ribbit, ooahh, ooahh, meep, meep, meep. "I see. It makes sense that a creature of your status would pick a murky place such as this. Swamps are hardly a place people tend to reside." Levitating above a tree branch JunBee placed the palm of his hand on the base of it. "It seems that you and your family are the only things still breathing." Ribbit, ribbit, kreet. Sighing at the croak of frogs and the chirping of insects JunBee eyes swept area. "This act has gone long enough." Making himself visible for all to see a snort escaped from the Rhukin's hog nose. "It has been close to a beat since I have eating and…" Slashing through multiple frog tongues, foof, JunBee teleported out of the way of two monkey-like creatures plunging down on him from above simultaneously.
Levitating above his attackers every cell in his body went on direct alert as it forced him to slide left then twist right as two slime-like whips lashed out. Hearing the crack and fall of the branches behind him JunBee took note of the slime-like characteristics while returning with red hot slashes of energy from his claws which left his enemy in flaming shreds. "What's this…I'm surrounded?"
Croaking loudly and glowing effervescently a fleet of colorful tree frogs lit the forest with beautiful bright colors to resemble their poisonous nature and type before exploding in a spray of acidic gas.
"If I'm considered dead." Thinking to himself in the split second of watching the frogs explode JunBee wondered if he could withstand the toxic air but thought it better to test that theory on another day. Opening his palms and peering into them a talisman sat there from its recent materialization. Rubbing the atomic looking cloud then tracing his finger over the spirals JunBee head bobbed. "I remember this dream those Mastax Warriors was joyously sailing through the sky until I turned paradise into a nightmare." Rubbing the spiral of the tornado rising up the handle of the hammer the Rhukin gazed at the Warriors being dragged into the eye of the storm sitting on the hammerheads side. Raising the object into the air and bringing it down fawooom a violent storm boomed into being and fierce cycle of wind swept through the wetland picking up every creature under Voisarro's control.
Shaking vigorously until every beast was caught in the storms the grasp the talisman slowly fell into a gentle swing before eventually coming to a complete stop and vanishing into nothingness along with the storm.
"There you go." Thought JunBee, now able to detect the Voisarro's whereabouts. Scanning the area as if everything was normal woof the Rhukin used instant travel to confront his foe.
Observing the vibrations in the air the Voissarro head and arms flew up in the creation of its inky black snapping turtle shell of a shield. "Roof" Grunting out a bark upon impact the shadow beast sent the spikes of the turtle shell projecting forth.
Kawish, taking a blow to the shoulder JunBee didn't flinch or hesitate to teleport out of the quintessence grasp and up above it. "Loxo's…" Diving down on the creature the Rhukin threw a punch but the nine foot tall ape of a slime opened its stomach up causing him to hit the tree branch causing it to shatter into millions of pieces as if it were glass. "I see…the seismic vibrations continue to travel receive and transmit. So if I…"
"Rahn" releasing a grunt from the vibratory wave of energy blowing its arm to shreds the Voisarro used its remaining limb like a fishing rod casting it out into the forest and catching a nice tree to cling to while converting the remaining body parts into sharp steak like appendages to fire at his foe.
Sending a fiery slash of energy at the projectiles JunBee head jerked at the sight of the giant bullets transforming into clones with machine guns for arms. Smiling a giant warthog of a grin a glint sparkled in his eyes. Growing a giant trunk to replace his pig nose. "Fire" unleashing an army of bullets with a trumpet of his trunk.
Growling at the destruction of his clones fawoof the Voisarro flung itself at its foe like a stone out of a slingshot. Zing gliding through the air in a zip the shadow beast body began to transfigurate into that of a drill bit with razor sharp spirals crawling out of its body like the blade of an axe.
Glaring the shadow beast down with a lunge forth of his arms vooom JunBee put a stop to his enemy's plan with a vibrating shield that kept the Voisarro at bay, unable to breach his space.
Fling bouncing off the Rhukin, with a shift of its body to a parachute to allow the wind to lift him up, the Voisarro made multiple clones to plunge down on its foe from all angles.
Nowhere to run instead of teleportation JunBee primal instincts went a different route. Slowing down the molecules around him his subconscious mind made the surrounding temperature drop, leading to a dome barrier of ice to form, protecting the Rhukin.
Repelling off the barrier, the eight Voisarro's merged into one colossal drill driving down on their opponent from above.
Holding firm from the giga assault JunBee took a deep whistling breath from his trunk then blew out two bubbles which formed into two clones. Looking at himself then up at the dome's peak slightly cracking the Rhukin knew that they shared mines even though they were separate. Sensing the movements of his creations fall into crouch JunBee eyes swiftly made contact with them as they propelled upwards delivering two simultaneous dynamite blows to the ice wall shattering it and projecting angry oceanic waves of vibrations up the shadow beast's body.
Shivering as a deep freeze crept over its body, the Voisaric drill became eight bird winged clones sweeping through the sky and away from their foe and into the safety of the trees around them.
"I can sense each and every one of them…but…that doesn't mean I can read their next move." Lowering himself to a tree branch JunBee took a deep breath into his hog nose feeling the thrum of energy pulsating in him at the thought of the upcoming battle it was so…invigorating. Exhaling complete calm and readiness only two thoughts surfaced that was the fight and his soon too be devouring.

"Bing! Frequency synchronized."
"Lord Carbon."
"Why is it that you persist to pester me? Didn't I tell you and your…" Studying the background taking note of the marble walls, soft mushy soil, and the stream whispering in the background Demius sat up in his throne before leaning over, tapping his fingers on the arm rest. "Where is your companion?"
"That is the purpose of our connection. During our reconnaissance one of the Princess's guardians happened to stumble across us during a hunt. A battle commence in which Leisler was devoured."
"Devoured? By a beast?" Asked Demius intrigued by the news.
"He had the abilities to shift into a variety of beasts and demonic forms the appearance."
"Who is this…being?"
"That I know not, for during his berserk state the child displayed gave us no data his only words were that we could not have Princess Sarai."
"A child devouring a demon interesting, I appreciate the data I will gaze into the nature of this child until then await our next connection."

"Oooo what are you?" Sliding a soft gentle pale hand across broad shoulders a model of a woman slid into his large muddy brown arms, rubbing on his chest. "You must be powerful."
"What gives you that belief?" Asked the man with a warm gentle laugh and a soft flex of his muscles.
"Most people would say your muscles are why but I see different. I see energy or I sense it for I am extremely attracted to them and know when they are around. And to be honest." Leaning in and flicking her long black silky hair the woman gazed deeply into hazel green eyes and whispered. "Only the strong can survive."
Squeezing her tight as a thrum of energy sent chills, yet warmth through his body the man smirked. "Are you explaining to me that you can get wild." Seeing all he need to know in her eyes his response was. "I am a complete savage myself and known to break things."
"Even more exciting." Giggled the woman. Leaping out of his lap and twirling like a ballerina before bowing the woman asked. "Mind if my sister join."
"It will be my pleasure." Kissing the hand of his seductress the man rose out of his seat. "I am Los The Subvert."
"I am Lilli of Ardat Teli And that beautiful flaming red head of a woman over there is Pusa of Ardat Teli."
Rolling his tongue back in his mouth after one good glance at Empusa's slender coke bottle frame, Loso found his form slightly wither as a gut tried to protrude from the band of his breeches. Regaining calm control with a deep inhale of Lilli's scent, the barbarian felt his third leg rise and tremble with the flashes of thought flowing through his mind. Using every breath taking as restraints to the pint up sexual energy ascending from his loins The Subvert eyes lit up with desire. "It appears that you have awaking a beast within me. If our exit is not swift, I might end up ravishing you right here where we stand."
"Is this reality." Giggling as Balos swept her off her feet and over his shoulder Lilli playfully kicked. "Pusa we must not keep this man waiting."

"Pardon me." Spoke a bewildering woman, as she approached a reddish-brown couple. "It appears that you are enjoying yourself is there some way I may help you."
Peering at the dim light glinting off the server spiked bracelet the man looked up at her with a gentle smile. "Actually. I would love a taste of what is on the menu today alongside a drink or two. Nutri is there anything you acquire?"
"I have not found that which I have a taste for but I am still searching it's on the tip of my tongue, I just cannot find it."
"In that case I will fulfill your companion's order. That should give you time to make a choice."
"There!" Grinning veraciously Nutri stood up. "I have found what I acquire." Rising swiftly out of her seat the Inkan head turned at a tap on her shoulder.
"Trust me he is taking care of." Peering at Nutri with sparkling orange eyes a flaming red head of a woman danced pass.
"Pusa we must not keep this man waiting." Giving Nutri a wink Pusa twirled as joyously and elegant as ever while singing a tune to herself.
"Is that the only thing you have taste for?" Staggering backwards from Nutri burning red eyes burrowing into her soul the server swiftly turned her attention to Tecto. "I will be back with your meal shortly."
