----

You smash the youkai's face into the ground with sledgehammer force as you flare your wings. With a mighty flap that makes the air shake barrel forward like a freight train at full throttle. Stunned by the sudden reversal in position your enemies are too slow to react. As you hurtle past you snag a pair of unlucky Youkai by their necks and roar, outrage echoing on the empty warehouse, imposing Fear unfeastable upon creatures unused to such sensations.

No matter who they are, they hesitate when they see their allies rushing face first towards them - and that's all it takes to spell their doom. Skull meets skull with the kind of harsh impact that could shatter stone, and you make sure all get a taste. In a maelstrom of fang and claw, tail and wing you spin like a dervish, dust and more whirl-winding around your frenetic motion. Most of the Youkai still encircling you are blasted back like mere ragdolls, blood and more trailing from their broken faces. A final, astoundingly blind creature dares jump and try to ride you like a beast but your head swipes back with a crunch, the blunt side of your horns smashing bone and pulping flesh, throwing the figure aside like detritus.

Seeing the tumbled Youkai so close to each other in a haphazard pile, you decide to finish this madness-born fight in a single move. You move on instinct, blood and pressure and more building above your heart, flooding your throat. Volcanic fire, heavy and liquid coils within your glowing, gaping maw before with a roar you sweep the whole lot of stunned monsters with boiling flame and searing destruction. Your incendiary outburst is extreme enough that a loading crane crashes down in a half-molten pile, spilling swiftly burning merchandise that no one will ever buy over the equally inflamed Youkai. As those that feast on Fear scream and mewl in both pain and fear, you feel a sense of satisfaction, knowing that the human onlookers nearby remain safe, regardless of the Youkai's intent.

Wait a second... 'Did I just...breath fire?'

[You did! You did!] Ddraig cheers. [I was thinking you were going to need more training, but you unlocked it on your own. Bravo partner, bravo!]

[[[Congrats Issei-kohai!]]]

{Ugh, it's like watching an Eclipse wasting his time!}

An inspired creation of a 3-die Stunt created acquisition of a Dragon Knack!

Dragon's Breath
Cost: 5m
Duration: (Stamina) ticks
Prerequisites: Essence 1

The user draws a deep breath - deeper than seems possible - before breathing a vast stream of fire elemental essence. He can maintain this exhalation, and its effects, for a number of ticks equal to his Stamina rating, and during this time can redirect the breath as he like, covering an area
roughly his Essence in yards across on each tick. The bolt is targeted with (Dexterity + Athletics) or (Dexterity + Archery), whichever is preferred, with a range of (Essence x 10) yards. It inflicts damage on any target across a circular area with a radius equal to the user's permanent Essence in yards, dealing (Essence+Stamina) dice of Lethal damage every tick.

"FUCK YEAH!" You roar to the heavens.

BOOOM!

A wall comes down and the earth trembles at the thudding movement of something massive.

"I SmElL SoMeThInG DeLiCiOuS!" A giant boar twice your height with a mane of fire bellows, it's billow-like breathing so intense it's snuffing out the fire you just set.

"Oh, what the fu-"

----

"Do you see it now, Rikuo?" Takazuki spits out in manic ferver, his youkai form shimmering as he yet again repels the blows of the young Nura Head. In his hands the [Maou's Hammer] that absorbed the lifeforce of many of his own underlings empowering him to extreme levels. "Superb, it is not? My...Hyakki Yakou!"

His own sword locked with Tamazuki's weapon, Rikuo grits his teeth and pushes back. "Being the Master of all Spirits...Doesn't mean piling up your clan’s corpses to make yourself bigger!”

BOOOM!

From inside a building comes out a giant boar youkai launched at full speed despite the numerous claw marks on its hide, pushing forward a smaller red dragon who has his left arm pierced by one of the great tusks.

"UaAaArRrGgHhH!! ChOkYuKaI SmAsH!!"

"Smash this, you oversized piece of bacon!" Driving his feet into the ground to act as a fulcrum, the dragon uses his strength to alter the boar's trajectory, making the latter smash side first into yet another building.

"A Dragon?!" Even Tamazuki looks shocked. "So it's true...The Nura Clan has even one of those prideful beasts under its command!"

"You're wrong..." Rikuo smirks, feeling both exasperation and elation as he recognizes who the new arrival is. "That...is a friend!"

The renewed mad dash of the boar forces Rikuo and Tamazuki to separate. The Tanuki jumps on the head of his subordinate, while Rikuo squat on the dragon's shoulder. "That's a nice appearance you have here, sempai." He chuckles. "But didn't I ask you to keep humans away?"

"I was doing that!" Issei snarls. "But then a pack of out of control shikoku youkai attacked me and them! Oh, but I transformed only when out of sight!"

"Really, those country hicks..." Rikuo sighs, then look at the sky. "And dawn is close too. I need to finish this quickly, but as long as Tamazuki has [that]..."

"By that, you mean that super-ultra-mega-hyper gross thing in his hands?"

"Yes, it's a sword with the power to absorb the strength of those killed by it. Tamazuki killed his own subordinates with it."

"...It's name, is perhaps [Maou's Hammer]?"

"Uh? Yeah, he called it that. How do you know?"

"God damn it!" Issei clenches his fists. "What is it doing here? Explanations later, now separate that thing from him or we're all fucked."

Issei raises a hand and taps with the tip of a claw Rikuo's sword.

[TRANSFER!]

Power flows from Boosted Gear into the sword, making it glow with a golden light.

Spoiler

Artifact Charm "Boosted Gear Apotheosis"

Those who are Exalted transcend all limits. And in the hands of such heroes even common items answer the call to glory.

-By attuning the motes from the Overdrive Pool to a weapon, armor or other object the Solar can apply to it the effects of "Welsh Boost Overdrive: Explosion". This last until the fifth DV refresh of the one using the item, after which the item returns to its normal state.
-Weapons have their base damage doubled.
-Armors have their Soak and Hardness doubled.
-Other items have [UNKNOWN].

(OOC: this is only a temporary description to make you understand what I am doing. If someone feels like it he/she is welcome to write a better one)

"I just jammed a whole bunch of dragon goodness in your sword. Quick, before your sword's new extra awesome super-mode fades, go kick that tanuki's ass! I got the boar!"

"Cool." The light from the sword makes Rikuo's grin seems larger. "Just what I needed. One word of advice: Keikain-san is nearby, so don't transform back where she can see."

"Duly noted."

Rikuo jumps back to resume his fight with Tamazuki, while Issei starts running on all four towards the Youkai Boar Chokyukai. The great beast lets out an angry bellow and charges at Issei.

Just moments before they collide Issei jumps up, twisting his body upside down. The instant he is directly above the boar he breaths a stream of golden flames. "Solar Judgment!"

"UUIIIIIIHHHHHHH!!!"

The youkai screams in pain as the blessed attack burns both his flesh and his very spirit, his body bereft of any natural defenses against an attack that impose rules alien to the world on its victims.

"Mada mada!" Issei roars. A corona of golden light erupts around his body, the jewels on Boosted Gear displaying the roman number [IV].

[EXPLOSION!]

Now with sixteen times his original strength Issei grabs the boar and, in an impossible display, throw it up in the air like it was a baseball ball. He jumps after it.

The moment they both reach their apex Issei cocks back a fist.

"EAT A FACEFUL OF DRAGON CLAW!"

He swings his arm.

The concussive force of the impact sense a dust tsunami racing through the cityscape below, and skylights shatter as windows rattle before the mighty impact's presence.

On the ground below Rikuo, using the powered-up sword Nenekirimaru and the secret technique Kyouka Suitgetsu, manages to cut off the arm of Tamazuki holding the Maou's Hammer.

Slowly but inexorably the Sun illuminate the sky and the earth with his warm glow, as if preannouncing a new day and a new hope.
