Akudama Rising- Don for a day.[Akudama Syndicate only]

In the realm of maintaining a low profile, the Desiertan herself reigned as a true master. Across her myriad of exploits—from liberating nobles' wealth to filching from fortified vaults and beyond—she'd honed the art of elusiveness to perfection. But life, in its unpredictable rhythm, led her to a point where the threads of her fate intertwined with those of high-caliber underworld dons. The tale of her ascent is simple, albeit lengthy—a story best served for another time. For now, let's focus on the present where in this instant, she perhaps stood as a victorious figure amongst her equals. The fabric they'd become entwined within held more significance than Zariya could have dared to imagine. Now, an underground empire lay within her grasp within the borders of Fiore, but leadership wasn't something she yearned for. Becoming filthy fucking rich didn't demand donning the mantle of leadership, yet who in their right mind could resist the allure of becoming a kingpin? Nana, Knux, Ayaka, and Erebus; a quartet destined to devour, having already stood atop the station turned stronghold, or soon would. In the spotlight's glare, the Thunder Cat assumed her place of prominence, casting her gaze across the expanse of faces. Thugs gathered to witness their leaders, only to find them suspended like animals in midair. Murmurs of protest wafted through the crowd before a single brash soul, cloaked in hubris, dared to challenge the unfolding spectacle, only to meet the swift denial of Nana's aim. An idiot tuned example, as the Drug Lord made clear. Microphones hovered before the sins of the underworld, thanks to Zariya's knack for technology and Talaz lagaar's material. "Tsk tsk tsk. I wouldn't push my luck, if I were you~! This lady right here is pretty damn scary." Zariya's voice interjected, a cool contrast to her colleague's intensity, a mischievous smile upon her lips. "Besides, ya'll don't wanna die before you get to see the show, hm?" Nana had already carved her name into the history books, just as the trio of Knux, Ayaka, and Erebus had. As the Machia stepped forward and gripped the railing, she could feel the tension coiled like a spring, the crescendo hovering tantalizingly close, ready to unravel at the slightest cue. |

Ayaka Kitazawa Ayaka's exhaustion weighed upon her, a relentless burden she bore with unwavering determination. This peculiar exhibition of power failed to amuse her in the slightest, yet destiny had conspired to place her here, in this very moment. To her right sat a striking woman, her ebony skin in stark contrast to the cascading mane of snowy hair that framed her face. Her eyes, a delicate shade of pale pink, glistened like ethereal gems, a mesmerizing complement to the sheer pink dress that clung to her form. To Ayaka's left resided a man, his complexion as porcelain as fine china, and his eyes gleamed like bottomless emerald pools. These two individuals, breathtaking in their beauty, sat quietly at her feet, akin to enchanted fairies in rapt admiration of their queen. While they were, by all accounts, bound to her as slaves, in their hearts, she was their mother, the guardian who shielded and nurtured them. The one who had once owned them now dangled alongside other wretched souls, consigned to the refuse heap of Hosenka. Ayaka was a newcomer among her peers, a recent addition to this clandestine world of power and intrigue. Yet, her ascent had been meteoric, an ascension that could not be disregarded. Her presence was a beacon of hope for the vulnerable, a staunch defender, a benevolent provider, and, above all, a mother figure. Her charges, those who had willingly submitted to her authority, had but one duty: to obey her without question. In her line of work, rife with corruption and male dominance, she was a force of nature, a tempest that dismantled the existing hierarchy and rebuilt it according to her own principles. At the pinnacle of this new order, Ayaka ruled with an authority that was rightfully hers. Unlike the male-dominated cabal that had long controlled the sordid world of human trafficking, Ayaka stood as a resolute dissenter. The few women who had managed to attain power in this dark domain had typically done so by aligning themselves with the male overlords. Ayaka, however, held no fondness for such subservience. She had chosen to shatter the established structure, to tear down the oppressive system and erect a new one in its place. And now, here she was, the undisputed queen of her realm, a testament to her indomitable will. As Ayaka sat there, contemplating the events of the day and her relentless pursuit of justice, her thoughts wandered to a more mundane matter: dinner. Her duties as a protector, provider, and mother left her with little time for personal indulgence. Yet, even in her role as a formidable figurehead, she could not escape the fundamental human need for sustenance. Word Count: 445/--- |

Some men did not fear other men in this world. Erebus knew this, and so he decided to make this terror something otherworldly to the audience. He wanted to give them a story, something to whisper on the streets for the next decade. “Stalk.” Becoming invisible now was the next stage in the merc’s game. He was an agent.
Erebus began to step off from the catwalk, taking slow steps down a flight of stairs… Wind as his platform, his feet kissed the air underneath; he descended down without quite flying against the heavens, but moving through the space— down upon the stage, a Haunting Reaper to condemn the agents of an old age.
Erebus decided the first terrorist’s time was up. After Nana’s last words, when the crowd became confused between both awe and restlessness, Erebus plowed his entire body with Zabimaru using his speed as momentum, (velocity x mass = power) with inhuman strength built on a lifetime of survival, Erebus demonstrated what wrath is capable of in the hands of the sick and the wicked, in merciless form. The body was little more than puddles now down below, and he’d continue this act in repetition upon each crime lord.
For those smart enough, this was the Akudama’s public execution and rebirth. It was the time for new to rise and old to fall. Which Erebus could gladly make messier if even a single person stepped out of line, not that he had to move at all. Every member of the Syndicate was a monster, and that’s what made their coup successful.
Erebus held his location as he then moved in front of the second victim, should he need to continue— there was little anyone could do to stop him.
Using the blades sharp tips, Erebus slid the serated edge against the skin of the target, drawing blood in ritualistic fashion. Just to crawl in the skin of the audience, to feast on their desperation. That was Zabimaru’s hunt, it always found the fears of its target, and the stage merely put that dread up for the rest to see…
Three remain, and could end the same but Erebus kept the striking terror alive. His role as Espionage was to display horror and nothing could deter a man on the job.

Knuckles Shi became encased is dark energy as he flew down on wings made of Obscura, The Daemon let his legendary hammer fall with such grace from his hand in a throwing motion, crushing the skull of his first victim leaving only two left for the new age of bosses to lay their claims. Knuckles reached his hand out as he recalled the hammer to him as he flew around the chained-up pray. Licking the blood from his hammer before he smashed into the chest of his next target, crushing in their chest and bursting their delicate little organs on the inside. Oh, how his heat raced from the joys od his demonic form and the lust for killing while in it.
Landing near his new team, Knuckles lifted his hammer into the air he sent mana into his ancient weapon, The hammer would glow light blue, a disgusting color if Knuckles were to be honest, but the power was so electric to hold. A few seconds later a Deafening beam of lighting would strike down on their last road guard from them all achieving the power they all very well deserved.
The Prideful Daemon would chuckled as he would then bow to the crowd gathered before them.
"I do hope you all enjoyed our lovely show. I implore you all to stick around a bit longer to see what the truly gifted may be capable of. I challenge those who seek revenge for their bosses to do so now while we are all properly gathered here."

"Shall I give you despair?"
The violence lasted all but moments, yet the new leaders who stood on stage- had altered the very lives of these criminals. Some who had been the right hand of the previous crime leaders, now found themselves destitute and among the ranks of cannon fodder. Others would be given opportunities to rise through the new regime, that had no chance before. As the lifeblood poured out from the dead and dying crime bosses, it ushered in this new era. Nana recognized the times and was quick to get the attention of the clamoring crowd. Some chouted cheers, others still seemed displeased with these changes. In a loud and demanding voice, Nana spoke. "We are the Akudama Syndicate. All of you will be given a chance to rise in infamy, or fall in despair." She paused briefly, allowing her words to sink in to force the onlooking crowd to consider their futures and the choices they would make here and now. Little did these criminals realize, if they didn't comply, they would be signing their own death warrant. None of them knew Akudama's plan was to weed out any insurection early on. "Raise a fist in allegiance to our cause if you are willing to join us. Those who do not wish to join us, do not raise a fist and after this, leave." The new crime lords would take note of those who did not raise their hand. Erebus was poised to assassinate the unwilling. They were all criminals after all. WC-251 WC Total- 1,062

And thus, the spectacle unfolded before their eyes, a display of power that left the onlookers in stunned silence. It began as swiftly as it ended, an invisible force, most likely Erebus, striking down their apprehended enemies. The crowd watched in awe, witnesses to a public execution meant to send a chilling message to all who dared to defy or challenge them. But this was just the beginning. Knuckles, in a stark contrast of style, revealed his own formidable power in a more violent manner. He wielded the might of Thor, a mythical weapon that only the truly worthy could command. Zariya found it intriguing that a demon could unlock its power, but she had no complaints. The area became an electrifying spectacle as lightning crackled around them. Nana, stepped forward once more, officially introducing them as the Syndicate. As she commanded all those who would stand with them to raise a fist in unity, Zariya's eye caught something peculiar. In the corner of her vision, Ayaka was making a slow, sneaky exit. It raised questions in her mind. Was Ayaka up to something? Did she lack the stomach for what lay ahead? Could she become a problem? Zariya's thoughts swirled, but she redirected her focus to the present moment. Fists began to rise, and a few individuals retreated, but most, it seemed, were either too afraid to leave or saw this as their opportunity to rise within the ranks of something entirely new. "For those of you who've stayed, understand this: Akudama Syndicate will become the paradise of your wildest fantasies. From this day forth, we are a united front, a family, an unstoppable force,a threat. Each and every one of you will play a pivotal role, and if you perform well, I promise you, we'll be swimming in more money than you could ever Imagine. You will be rewarded beyond measure because we will control every damn facet of this country, and we won't stop there!" Zariya declared, gripping the railing with a confident smirk. "Akudama Syndicate is in good hands. Just look at how easily we've captured your former kingpins! Trust me when I say, we rank among the strongest in all of Fiore!" Excitement pulsed through their followers, fists raised high in unity. Zariya joined in, raising her own. "So...who's ready to take over this entire damn country and make more money than we know what to do with!?" |

Appearing still like a normal human, the machia summoner stayed in the back content with the sight before his eyes. He really had to thank this infamous group, this was a beautiful display. A meal steaming to its finish. Among the foot soldiers it was abundant and brimming to the surface threatens to spill over. From each person that raised a fist, left, or trembled where they stood in silence. The rage, the fear, the envy. A feast of sin being tempted by this act to this group by itself.Â
Perfection.
Each of the individuals' words showed their authority and seriousness. A hint of the dark side of life as well. A lack of emotion and empathy, wrath, lust, pride, and greed. Why, it was almost all here. There was the envy of the group. It was only gluttony and laziness left to be seen.Â
Be as it may, when he heard the final speech of 'family', he had to try his best to stop from cackling. A united front? A family? They were all just tools and pawns! That was the nortal nature. And The way of life of the deepest depths of criminals. These five people did what they did to the old leaders out of a selfish greed and hunger for power and a higher state for themselves. Not a love or sense of duty for their fellow men and women. To allow the illusion of anything else was pitiful and disrespectful. Kanji was sure some people bought it though. A strong and pretty woman could tempt men easily, and by all standards they had three gems held up high dangling for others to reach for. The men among their group were men's men. Strong individuals just like the woman. Some of the crowd probably looked up to them due to their reputation. Envied. Wished to be surpassed.
In the end all a role to fit in and ambitions to reach for. A tool in the machine just like how Kanji too this form to hopefully extend his own in bringing ruin to the world and the very souls of all that walked it. To him it made no difference in the wielder of this or who ambitions brought it. And with an eerie half man half mechanical cheek to cheek grin, Kanji lifted his fist into the air in solidarity as the room began to roar from Zariya's words.
"Ah~. What a wonderful surprise from this little detour. Eheheeheh".

“If everything needed of me is already sufficient and provided to you all, then I’d like to retire from this spectacle,” in the most formal way he could, he laid it all on the table. However, it was the quickest way to find his own end to this coupe, and get himself out. After all, they were all the most wanted criminals, in one room. This never sat well with Erebus, and it didn’t feed his interest to give anything too much time. His role here was met, and it was time to begin the Underworld’s new legislation.
“I’ll be seeing myself out early, should you need my services, find me on the train.” Erebus offered them a slight wave, stepping off and backwards into the shadows, as his shadowy mass disappeared behind the curtains, he exited the stage’s theater, taking the exit most accessible to him. Once outside of the Warehouse, the Don made his way out of the area and the block entirely.

"Shall I give you despair?"
Nana had watched who had and hand't raised their hands. It was impossible to keep track of them all, but she prioritized those who hadn't raised their hands. They were theimmediate threats and they had to be snuffed out. Erebus had already agreed to pay the unwilling a visit, but it could never hurt to get a head start on that list. Right? Simply killing them would suffice, but Nana had other things in store for a portion of the unwilling collaborators. Yes, she would be making them thralls, drug addicted, siolently addicted to the drug Nana personally crafted. The secrets of this drug hadn't even been disclosed to the other Dons yet. She would visit some of those unwilling and slowly convert them into mindless puppets meant for manual labor and cannon fodder for combat. There was just one other thing to do. "When you leave this area, you will be handed a form. It describes the several areas of expertise we Dons will focus on. Fill out your information and make an election. then report to that section of the guild base." she would say and then make her own leave. The other Dons had already began to trickle out.

The dons, as they were now called, made their moves now. Dispersing from the stage and spotlight. Likely the gears in the minds and the sinister ambition in their hearts already forking ideas for their own empires and the opposition made on this day. Who would rise. Who would fall. Who would be absorbed into the hive of this criminal empire to be?
He remained silent as the few voices of the don spoke bidding their farewells. Kanji had never really been one to care for names or reputations. They were people all the same. Just filled with more sin than others, in truth that made Kanji like them more than the average person by default. A criminal's love. After all of the dons had finally left so would Kanji, a soft eerie grin of excitement plastered onto his mug. Filling at the brim with anticipation.
