Bella walked toward Reiko to shorten their distance.
"It seems that Undine has bestow you part of her spirits" She paused for a moment before continuing "Now you somewhat are like me. You can sense the gods and goddesses better than other creatures in Daughtris"
Bella turned to look at Mitei before turning to look at Rixator and Gabe.
"Where is Ringo?" Bella question loud enough for everyone to hear.
After the battle with a dragon, Gerard felt he really needed to relax but knew all too well that his arrival was not secret and there were plenty of people who would want hiim dead. Pressing a large clasp on his cloak he activated the magic making the cloak as hard as rock. He activated his ring of deflection as a light wind started and settled down. He figured that would help with any common thugs and novice killers. He started walking down the crowded street eyeing several prospects of entertainment walking along the road. He walked on though, because business was business. He headed to the meeting place at a casual pace showing those around him he did not fear them. Sometimes that alone would stop anything from happening. Somtimes.
In a High Dollar Casino and Night Club named Dark Temptations, Kakuzu sits waiting for Gerard in the private section of the club. The night club was filled with flashing colorful lights, loud beats, as well of the alluring fragrance of mixed drinks. Some of the creatures were dancing while some were lounging and relaxing. Some of Kakuzu's subordinates that wasn't forced to wear shadow collars were all scattered around the club, smoking, drinking, and was treated by the club girls. Sitting beside Kakuzu was Elena who was wearing a green kimono.
After a long day of earning gold Guy broke form the group and went to the tavern, he was thirsty, and tired. He walked over to the barkeep and asked for some ale, he handed over a couple gold and received his drink. He gulped it liberally.
After a couple more drinks Guy saw a beautiful girl, Guy walked up to her. "what do you do for fun in such a boring place?" He asked her.
"Keep up the good work, ladies." He walked on his eyes looking for a very nice companion that suited his tastes. He found Kakuzu in the middle of his search so he made his way over casually.
"Good day to you, Mr. Hidan" Gerard pulled out a long and slender smoking pipe and lit up with by activating the magic in the pipe. He made himself comfortable as he looked at the man across the table. His eyes then fell upon the woman next to him. His eyes wandered over her body as he appraised her worth.
"How may I be of service to you, Mister Hidan." His dialect changed to that of a native person of Demotia. Gerard had studied every country and prepared himself for such transactions. He would not be seen as a fool by anyone. And if such a impossible situation occur then that said person would disappear along with all those close to them.
"For a wood elf, I go hunting" she answered
She picked up her glass and held it near her luscious mouth
"What about you? I see you aren't from here. What are you doing in Tutelia?"
"Good day to you too, Mr Kind"
Hidan changed his sitting position from leaning ahead to laying back on the couch and placing his left foot on his right leg.
"I assume you saw some of the Yakuza underlings in town wearing black collar made of shadow around their necks..." Kakuzu paused and continued "Do you have anything to get rid of them?"
Gerard smiled as Kakuzu seemed a bit perplexed. Nothing had actually happened except for the fact that the button was now flashing white. Gerard waited for him to notice the effect. Gerard looked to those around the Club. There were no shadows to be seen anywhere with in the club. Gerard looked back to Kakuzu as the device shut off bringing shadow back to club.
"It lasts a short time, but it eliminates all shadows whether magic or not. The distance is about one block and the time limit is one minute. I have some that last longer but they are more expensive, of course." He pulled out a slightly bigger silver orb with the same script. "So, Mister Hidan, is it to your liking?" he asked calmly as he puffed a purple smoke into the air.
The dark dragon awaited an answer, his wings flapping noisily over Pruwas. He was already in the confines of the dark metropolis, so no shields could brought up without enclosing Bahamut within. He was determined to gain the power he needed to destroy Avory, the gods, and anyone else who would stand against him, and he didn't plan to let anything stop him. Anything.
His armor was finally starting to dry out from the time he spent climbing under the waterfall, but the clothing, scarves, and rags he used to keep his features hidden were still soaked, hanging off his head. He had to pull back his hood and facial covering during his climb in order to keep from being waterboarded.
the girl giggled before sipping her red wine and placing the glass back on the counter.
"If you need to hire some warriors, I think you should ask any fighters guild in the metropolis. You can call them using the telephone or just go there directly but the metropolis is thousand of miles away from here. I hope you have your own transportation"
The girl paused, looking up, and remembered something
"You could also teleport there if you placed a teleportation sigil there once... but it would require a lot of energy though"
Elena laugh out loud while both her hand was placed on her belly.
"That's what it does? It vanishes shadows for a while and then they reappear?" Elena question before explaining "We need something to destroy the shadow collars permanently because we need the Yakuza to be free to battle. If they appear while in battle, it would be really bad"
Elena placed her left leg on her right thigh while crossing her arms, her lips curved into a smirk, eyes staring at Gerard.
"Do you have other devices?" Kakuzu questioned Gerard
Kuro flapped all his wings and slowly flew around the gigantic dragon.
"What are you planning to do with a different form?"
"Mana Breaker. It destroys mana within the the bubble permenantly. Magical effects as well as any items caught in the field will be destroyed beyond repair." Gerard pushed it towards Kakuzu. He reached in another pocket and pulled out a pair of white gloves with black runes. "Spell Eater, These gloves drain the mana out of anything they come into contact with. Once completely drained the spell is destroyed and th item becomes a useless lump of material. Quite effective for up close combat against magical barriers or magical locks making them simple locks that can be picked."
"The Mana Breaker holds ten shots each, and has no range limit. I would suggest giving these to those with good aim. Otherwise the Spell Eaters would be the way to go." Gerard didn't particularly like selling either of these items seeing as how he depended on a large variety of items for offense, defense, and for utility. The Mana Breaker and Spell Eater were banes to Gerards existance as well as any item of his that might get destroyed in the process.
"Are these more to your liking?" he exhaled another puff of purple smoke.
"You da-"
He stopped when a sudden loud pop was heard before a small vortex made of water appeared on top of Reiko right shoulder, beside her head. The vortex reformed and changed into the shape of a small water dragon, leviathan, and hung on Reiko's shoulder and made a sound that resembled a cat. "Mew"
"Sorry for leaving so suddenly" Undine's telepathic voice could be heard by everyone coming from the leviathan "I heard Reiko's summon. can I help with anything?"
"welcome, Eclipse, my brother" Gen greeted Eclipse with a smirk on his face "Please, come in"
"nice pair of gloves" Elena complimented "This are your own designs, right?"
Kakuzu reached the Obsidian Rod called Mana Breaker and started to examine it. He frowned and passed the rod to Elena.
"Can you design bullets that have the same effect as this rods?" He asks and started to explain "I am not used to wielding rods. I am more used to guns"

"Yes miss they are my own design. Most things that I sell are of my design." He turned to Kakuzu. "Picky picky," he said as he dropped a pouch full of bullets. Gerard was aware that people liked using guns, he just wasn't one of them. "How much do you want? Do you expect for this little war of yours to be long lasting or will it be done within a week? I'm just wondering if I should stay and oversee this transaction until the end." Gerard looked around at the women in the club.
'There could also be other benefits to staying longer,' Gerard thought to himself. He looked at the demon and the man. They were both on the plus side of their appearance. But Gerard rarely mixed business with pleasure. His eyes met Kakuzu wondering if he was going to make any more requests. Though his mind quickly went on the cost this would be and what he could get from it, outside the monetary value as well.
"As for the new form, I will destroy the very things that stood against me before...Avory, the gods and goddesses, all of Daughtris!! Think of it Kuro...I could destroy everything!"
A slight shimmer went into his eyes, soon keeping the ivory orbs locked onto Kuro. "Join me Kuro...Together we could rule Daughtris with an iron fist!" The dragon clenched the clawed fingers of a front hand together into a fist. "None would oppose us...Stand by me, give me the power I seek...Or I shall crush you like the bug that you are..."
