Addition

Sekkou and his fellow Vasto Lorde now inhabited the second darkest sphere of the Menos Forest, with the few and far between other Vasto Lorde in the area. Sekkou found it odd that most Vasto Lorde traveled alone, and as such made themselves easy targets for a group like Sekkou's. However, Sekkou had heard of another group of Vasto Lordes that roamed the Forest, and he was determined to either coerce them into joining him, or killing them if they refused to do so. Tonight was the night he was going to find them.

Despite the sheer size of the forest, the two groups ran directly into each other, perhaps drawn together by common acknowledgment of power, perhaps by fate. It didn't matter. Sekkou's group outnumbered this one 5:4. He looked at each of them silently, sizing each one up in his mind. There was a fairly large one that resembled a gorilla, one that resembled a scorpion, one that resembled a fly, and one that looked sort of like some kind of plant, its mask rough and pitted like tree bark. Like Sekkou's group, they all appeared very humanoid, a mark of their power. The two groups stared at each other for a good half a minute in silence, until Sekkou broke it.

"I had heard of another group wandering the Forest...and I said to myself, imagine the influence I would have should this group join with mine? Under my leadership? I would be exalted. So I ask you, will you join me?" His voice was strangely honeyed and sweet.

The plant looking one stepped forward, obviously the leader of that group. When he spoke, he spoke with a German accent. "Dummkopf, you must be joking. I will not join you."

"I never said it had to be willingly," said Sekkou. "...it would be a shame if anyone died here today, or lost a piece of their mask in battle. Why risk weakening? I suggest a contest of skill. If either of our groups can best the other without death, than the leader of that group will take all."

"Intriguing," said the plant Vasto Lorde. "Very well, we accept." He turned to face his group. "Vell? Get zem, raus raus!" (raus=go!)

The plant Hollow leaped onto the back of the enormous gorilla one- roots from his chest extended out and attached themselves to the gorilla's back. This seemed to have the effect of combining their reiatsus. The fly thing brandished its open palms, and flames began to pour from them. The scorpion one opened its claws and fired rocket-like projectiles at Sekkou's group.

"Scatter!" he commanded. He and his allies leaped to the side, with the exception of Sogekihei, who took to the air. "Sukauto, Demō, we will take the fat one! Enji, Sogekihei, take care of the other two!" Sekkou ran toward the gorilla at full speed.

The gorilla thing raised a huge fist and hit the ground with it. He struck with such force that the earth split and rumbled, sending a solid line of earth right toward Sekkou. "Tch!" Sekkou used Sonido to bypass it, appearing directly in front of the gorilla thing's face, and gave it a solid kick across the chest with his razor sharp claws, followed by a tail whip across the backs of its knees as he hit the ground and rolled between his legs. The gorilla thing roared in pain, briefly. And then...the pair of them (him and the plant one) glowed with reiatsu, and the wounds healed.

"Try to dislodge the plant one!" shouted Sekkou to Sukauto and Demō. Sukauto rushed up, fast as always, and landed several kicks on the plant thing's face before having to run away to dodge the powerful swipes of the gorilla thing. Demō began lobbing his explosives with each of the eight appendages coming from his back. Neither was successful at dislodging the tree thing.

Sekkou knew he would have to take things into his own hands. He jumped onto the plant thing's back. "Get off!" he shouted as he latched his claws into the gorilla's back. He wrapped his claws around the plant thing's waist and began yanking with all his strength, but he refused to come off. After several moments of fruitless tugging while he dodged the gorilla's attempts to punch him off, Sekkou opened his mouth and superheated smoke began pouring from it. "What happens to a plant under too much heat?" he asked gloatingly as he felt the plant thing weaken beneath him. Finally, he popped off, and Sekkou quickly rolled him over and pinned him to the ground.

Behind him, Sogekihei had snatched up the fly thing in his talons, Demō had surrounded the gorilla with deadly explosives, and Sukauto and Enji had the scorpion trapped by several of Enji's turrets.

"I win, subordinate," said Sekkou triumphantly.


OK, so here is the list of the additions to Sekkou's "Fraccion"
Hakasegou Metic- Dark skinned and humanoid, has a mask that resembles a otolaryngologist's mirror. It comes down his face and appears rough, like tree’s bark; there appears to be a gauge of some sort on it, like an alcohol thermometer. His body is thin but muscular. He appears to be able to “hook” himself up to individuals and heal them, though he is unable to attack effectively when he is doing this, relying on whoever he is healing to protect him.

Juuhou Hevi- Huge and muscular, though there is a noticeable paunch. His mask is reminiscent of a gorilla’s, as is his entire build, really. His fists are very large and very dense; Hevi possesses enormous strength.

Konetsu Pyrō- Mask looks like that of a fly’s with compound eyes. Average size body; there appear to be holes in his/her palms, though they are not Hollow holes. Pyrō can shoot flames from each hole about 5 yards in front of him/her, as well as small fire-inducing flares that travel farther. Mumbles excessively, and it is nearly impossible to figure out what Pyrō is saying, and by extension, his/her gender.

Keisotsu Sōjeru- Mask looks like a scorpion’s face. Hands are pincers that are like a scorpion’s. He can fire rocket-like projectiles from each claw.
