Shinto

Okay... short entry. Set-up for someone else to take over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tobias stood on the stand, scythe held firmly in his grasp, looking down at the sand where the oni once laid. He had slain it and absorbed its being into him, taking with it the power that it had and making it his own. He looked over at the shore and saw Mimoto and an unknown man kneeling, him supporting a very bruised and wounded Mimoto. She looked at him with awe and surprise, and the man looked on in curiousity, a strong demonic aura eminating from him.

Tobias turned around and started walking towards them. His head was lowered to hide his face from them, hiding the sinister smile that started to grow across his face. He lifted his scythe and took it into both of his hands, readying to attack the mysterious man. Mimoto, with the aid of the stranger, rose to her feet and spoke with a tone of surprise.

"T-T-Tobias, what was that, was that your power?" She was leaning on the man, limping and holding onto her side. "I've never seen anything like that, just what was that?"

Tobias stopped walking and raised his scythe, propping it on his shoulders and standing at a ready stance. His head was still lowered, hiding the growing smile on his face. His body started to send out faint wisps of energy from across his arms and along the shaft of the scythe. He lifted his left arm and opened his hand, his palm exposed and facing the two of them.

"That power is known as the All Consumption. It is the ultimate weapon of destruction," he said, his voice very deep and coarse. Suddenly, lifted his head, his eyes redened with bloodlust and his grin sadistically happy. "NOW YOU SHALL BE THE NEXT ONES TO DIE!"

Suddenly, a cloud of sand and dust erupted from behind them as the ground was shaken with a great force. The three were set off balance and fell into the sand, and as the cloud settled, another oni stood, this one with two horns and a red tiger-print loin cloth. He was smaller than the first one, only 10 feet in height, and was less muscled, but he gave off a more powerful aura than the last. He exhaled heavily and loudly, then let out a loud roar.

"YOU, BOY WITH SCYTHE, YOU KILL MY BROTHER; NOW I KILL YOU!" The oni raised its hand and threw a punch forwards, aiming at Tobias. Immediately He raised his arm and created a wall of light to block the oni's punch.

The instant his arm made contact with the wall, Tobias' arm gave off a small pulse of light, which caused him to wince in pain. He then drew his arm back slightly and then thrust it forward, sending the wall colliding with the oni and pushing it backwards into the sand. Once again his arm gave off a small burst of energy, this time Tobias flinched and fell to his knees.

Mimoto looked up, still hanging onto the mysterious man. "Tobias," she started in reaction to seeing this, "what's wrong, are you hurt?"

Tobias looked over, a tear falling down his left eye and his teeth grit tensely. "I went too far."

"What do you mean?"

"Listen, I don't have time to expla--." He ended his sentence abruptly as he saw the oni rise to its feet and start to charge at them once more. Again Tobias arched his arm back and, with his hand open and fingers spread wide, he pushed forward with his arm, creating another wall of light that was sent forward into the oni, pushing it further backwards than the last wall. This time, however, Tobias' entire body sent out a burst of light, and he let out a cough and collapsed onto his hands and knees onto the sand. Mimoto ran over and put her arms on his shoulder, her face now expressing worry.

"Tobias, what's going on?"

"I said I'd explain later you airhead bitch," he shouted back at her, "first we have to find a way to deal with this oni. Unfortunately, I can't fight anymore."

"Why not?!" As she said this, the oni once again rose to its feet, and let out a loud roar.

"I WILL KILL YOU BOY!!"
