When Worlds Collide [OPEN TO ALL]

[Ikeda Keisuke]

Arriving at the battlefield alongside Yukimura, a big 'ol grin would form on Keisuke's face before whipping his hammer out, to try and knock the bolts the big guy with the glaive fired into the crowd away from Yukimura, as the latter formed a protective ring of fire around Keisuke before firing blasts of fire at the dark energy shield. Man, this was gonna get chaotic so fast.

[Ichimura Ryunosuke]

When he saw how the three were positioned in the field among the rocks, Ryunosuke smiled. "They had really prepared for this thing, but are they sure they will last?" he thought as he prepared his howitzer to fire towards their forward, which was Naotora. But before he fired the shot, he saw Haji come near him and touched the barrel of his weapon. When he touched it, it had seemed that the weapon glowed with light. Ryunosuke then said to Haji, "Thank you for the added power," then pulled the trigger many times in as rapid a succession as the speed he loaded the bullets, all against the same person Naotora, but on different points on her body, starting with her head, then at her legs, then at her body, and then again her head, and repeating the process until she would fall down. When Takehiro would aim his crossbow at him, he would try to dodge it, and resume firing at Naotora again.

[Kyoya Naotora]

Feeling Takehiro's dark energy around her, Naotora would smirk. The initial actions of the crowd led her to believe their numbers dulled their intelligence. As soon as she saw the man throw his blades, Naotora's arm would lower, the heavy weapons of hers striking them to the ground with ease. Even the light cannon balls fired from the small boy would be crushed under the weight of her ring of destruction.

Rather than push an offense and crush the group right away, Naotora would step backward while still swinging her weapon to avoid any damage to herself, using her insane strength and powerful weapon to her advantage. That, and Takehiro's wisdom.

[Tokugawa Iemasa]

Iemasa already felt insanely confident, but the defense Takehiro provided him only furthered that confidence. Though, once he smelt burning wood, he frowned, immediately turning his eyes to the man on fire. He would have shot at him first, considering the elemental control made the fucker a beast, but he knew Ryunosuke, and felt it best to take out their range. Especially if their range had the same mask he did.

Before the fire could spread too much, Iemasa locked his vision, and sent out two bullets for the kid's knees, then two for his shoulders. Once that was done, he would leap out of the tree and onto the rock with Takehiro.

"Get 'em, big guy."

[Amakusa Takehiro]

As soon as the first men started striking, it seemed a crowd began to form in one spot, much as he was hoping. With a grin, the man rose his crossbow and fired at the feet of the crowd, rather than any one person in particular. The capsules on his bolts would explode, releasing a powerful hallucinogenic gas that would affect everyone within forty yards from the point of impact. At the very least, he was certain this hallucinogen would affect Ryunosuke, Shou, Haji, Constantine, Haruyuki, Nanami Hideyasu, and Hidenori.

The Daimyo was certain no one in the group could move forty-one yards in half a second. And, regardless of how well they worked, he loaded two more of the hallucinogenic bolts.

[Morei Haji]

My eyes widened seeing Takehiro fire off his crossbow, and I knew that couldn't be good news at all. I quickly put up a sphere of light around myself to protect me from the gas that spewed forth. This would protect me from the hallucinations, but... I wouldn't be quick enough to shield everyone around me. I quickly used my light to push myself away from the range of the gas, releasing that shield when I was far enough.

Looking up at Takehiro, I had to do something about them or else they'd wipe our entire group out. I quickly charged light into my hand, chucking it with full force in Takehiro's direction. This blast of light was intended to break defense and knock the opponent out. But as it grew nearer to Takehiro, I would direct it to the left suddenly, swinging it around Takehiro in a wide circle, instead aiming for Iemasa from behind! A section of that blast would break off, flying towards Naotora from behind as well. If Takehiro attempted to knock it out of the air with his darkness before it circled around, I would have it maneuver away the best I could. But Takehiro was likely too cocky with those hakama of his to really worry about my light. Or I hoped, at least.

[Sanada Yukimura]

While the others had their own troubles to worry about, Yukimura would continue firing blasts of fire at Takehiro's dark energy shield, controlling the fire blasts to hit the spots Haji's light attacks hopefully hit, but that would merely serve as a decoy attack of sorts, as with his other arm, he would be absorbing all nearby heat energy sources and residual Musou energy into his arm, saving the attack for the right time.

He would also add more fire to the protective ring of fire surrounding Keisuke, increasing not only the width of the ring, but the circumference as well, so he could quickly form a protective pillar of fire around the man in case something happened.

[Yamabara Shou]

Shou saw the crossbow bolt come toward the group, curious why they seemed more aimed at the group rather then at a single target. However as hit, and vials shattered, as came forth. Shou as quickly as he could stopped breathing, not even taking a breathe first. However he had to get out of range before he needed to start breathing again. 

Shou would push himself to go as fast as he could, forward and to the side. To try and escape the cloud of gas, but not put himself to close to Naotaro. However he felt the need to just before he managed to out of ranged. However even though he breathed in a small amount of the gas, he kept running. Before his sense became messed up. Turning gas caused literal trip, into a dive, he threw his sword in a arc toward Takehiro, aimed as best as he could for his crossbow. He need to be disarmed quickly. Hitting the ground, Shou rolled to his feet, tripped again, and rolled once more forcing himself unsteadily to his feet. 

[Ikeda Keisuke]

Grateful for the added protection from Yukimura, while he tried to take down the dark energy shield, Keisuke would make sure to protect Yukimura from any shots fired at the both of them, using not only his giant ass hammer to deflect any shots, but also use the rock spikes he summoned when he slammed his hammer into the ground to form a protective barrier of rock spikes around them. All three seemed to be concentrating on the big group both of them were well away from, so once that group was gone, it meant they'd be targeted next.

That was going to be just fantastic.

[Amakusa Takehiro]

[OoC: Gonna move this along now. If you haven't posted, I'm assuming you did not get out of the way of any of the attacks my characters used.]

Once Haji's ball of light was thrown, Takehiro paid it absolutely no mind. He had elemental invulnerability, and so it was something he did not need to worry about - that, or Yukimura's fire. He would act, though, when Shou threw his sword, sending out his shield as his doppelganger, who would catch the sword and throw it back at its user!

Takehiro would then fire his hallucinogenic bolts back into the crowd who was already assumed to be caught in the poison, and would then proceed to load in explosive bolts.
