Act 2, part 2; The forest of no return

was sunny and clear the next day as Kitchwa stood bear foot and shirtless with his black pants rolled up psat his knees in the clear blue water with his sword and the quiver of arrows at his side and the bow on his back trying to catch some fish.
SPLOSHH!
Tatsuki woke up to the sound of the waves crashing against the shore line. when she opened her eyes she saw Kitchwa standing out in the seemingly endless mass of blue water, then she looked out on the long stretch of beach that eventually ran in to a large mess of trees.
RAARGH! Tatsuki jumped at least 10 feet when she heard this strange croaking noise.

SHLUP! SHLUP! Kitchwa was headed back to the beach with 3 firsh in tow when he noticed a large forg like demon that was completelt covered in hair from tip to feet coming up behind Tatsuki.
"DUCK!" he shouted as he dropped the 3 fish, grabbed the bow and knocked an arrow. Before Tatsuki even had time to react Kitchwa had drawn the bow and was taking careful aim at the demon.

BWONG! Tatsuki then saw an arrow with a rope tied to the end of it heading straight for her, GLUGH! she heard the arrow hit something fleshy then next thing Tatsuki knew Kitchwa had yanked on the rope causing the demon to fly out over the water. And if that weren't enough once the demon was within killing range Kitchwa dropped the bow, drew his sword and sliced the Demon in half.

"You need to watch your back." said Kitchwa as he returned to the shore and handed Tatsuki the bow and quiver. "What was that?!" exclaimed Tatsuki kinda freaked out. "Some manor of demon." answered Kitchwas as he tried to wash some of the demon's blood off of himself. Garth jumped up on Tatsuki's shoulder at that point and proceeded to pick at her hair. "See those trees behind you?" started Kitchwa as he unsheathed his sword. "Thats the foreset of no return." he finished as he began to wash the blood off of the blade of his sword.

As soon as Kitwa was dressed He, Tatsuki, and Garth made their way into the forest. "So... why exactly do they call it the forest of no return?" asked Tatsuki as Kitchwa used his sword to Machettie his way through the brush and foliage of the forest.
"Because..Ngh...it's in...the middle..ngh...of a dead zone."
Kitchwa answered in between hacks and slashes.
"Dead zone" Tatsuki asked as she scratched Garth's ears. Kitchwa stopped for a second turned around to Tatsuki and said rather impatiently,
"Compases and A-grav won't work here. it's probably what caused the power outage on the ship." then he once again turned his back to Tatsuki and resumed hacking and slashing, then added,
"also because those who have ventured in to here have never been seen or heard from again." that last statement freaked Tatsuki out so she responded,
"Then how are we supposed to get out of here!? I mean hello demon infested forest, and no compases." Kitchwa was starting to grow irritated, but he answered,
"1 if we keep going strait we should make it out of here... eventually, and 2 I'm proabably much stronger and much scaryer than any demon were gonna find in this forest."

About that time was when the 2 of them came upon a clearing SHRII! Kitchwa sheathed his sword and lay down on the leaf covered ground. It couldn't have been that late in the day yet it was very dark in the forest. Tatsuki looked up at the tree tops and found the answere to her quetion noticing that they grew so high that they blocked out both the sun and the sky.
"Weird?" muttered Kitchwa as Tatsuki sat down on what she thought was a pile of leaves.
"AAAHHHH!" Kitchwa Sat up and grabbed the pommle of his sword when he heard this screming coming from the pile of leaves as Tatsuki was thrown to the ground. he removed his hand from his sword a sceond later when he saw a tall scragly looking fur covered creature who was wearing the loudest pair of pants Kitchwa had ever seen in the fetal position shaking like a maraca.
"Don't eat me, please, I'm too young to be a roast." Tatsuki stood up and said in a calm and friendly voice,
"Chill were not demon's; actually, I'm sure about Kitchwa."
"How many times do I have to tell you woman, I'm not a demon!" inturrupted Kutchwa.
"still were not gonna eat you." the creature stopped shaking after Tatsuki said this , got out of the fetal position and said
"your not, well thats a releife. I'd thought for sure that the abomitable treeclimbers had found me." he proved to be quite tall when he stood up, at least 7 foot. "The names Aphonze, Alphonze of the forest of no return."

Farther in by the river in the deepest darkest reaches of the forest there were some dark workings afoot. Abomitable tree climbers and many sorts of carions (undead demons) were lurking about in groups and circles much larger than normal searching for the blood and flesh of the living. KRIPOOF!
they all started to growl and howl when they heard this sound, next thing any of the abomitable or carion knew a dark figure had appeared before them, completely shrouded in a black robe. GRAAWW! All of the dead charged after the figure craving the flesh and blood of the life force they could sense from it.
However, the ones that had attacked this figure were all destroyed when they bit in to him, turning into little more than ash and dust.
"Stupid undead." said a mans voice rather coldly.
"Such is the price you pay for trying to devoure your master." he finished in the same tone.

"Are you sure about this!?" asked Kitchwa as he Tatsuki, and Garth followed Alphonze.
"yes" replied Alphonze,
"the river is just ahead, then all we have to do is follow it north and it'll take us strait out of here." Kitchwa paused a moment taking in what Alphonze had just said then he said,
"Hold the phone! who ever said you were coming with us?" completely ignoring Kitchwa Tatsuki and Alphonze contiued to speak.

The hooded figure was working on conjuring some other manor of oddity when suddenly he felt an odd sensation couse through himself. Chilling him through to his very soul.
"What a strange presence." he said to himself as he ceased in what he was doing and stared up at the darkness that blocked the sky.
"This sensation." he contiued. "Impossible, Koran is dead; Ci-oni killed him a little over 5 mellenia ago."

Tatsuki stopped dead in her tracks when she felt an odd sensation emintaing from the bracelett and through her body.
"What... is this?" thought Tatsuki as she stood frozen.
"Whats your problem?" asked Kitchwa when they noticed that Tatsuki was nolonger with them.
"Come now, were almost to the river, and your getting your boots covered in mud." said Alphonze.
"never mind." said Tatsuki as she snapped out of it "C'mon, the sooner we get out of ths creepy forest the better." she finished as she started walking.

not long after this they came to the river where they saw ass loads of carions and abomitable treeclimbers.
"The Undead!" exclaimed Alphonze.
"By the gods!" added Tatsuki as Garth hid behind her long black hair. Kitchwa said nothing while he drew his sword with a grin on his face.
"What are you smiling about, Boy!?" they heard a cold cruel voice say. Tatsuki felt the sensation coming from the bracelett again, only it was alot stronger than before.
"Aburame." she muttered.
"Whats that?" asked Alphonze rather confused; Yet for some reason Tatsuki couldn't recall the name she had just spoken.

"You look nothing like him, so what is this I'm sensing." said the voice again.
"Show yourself!" shouted Kitchwa as he looked around from the carions that looked so much like decomposing demonic corpses, to the Abomitable treeclimbers that looked just like zombie versions of Alphonze.
"a simple test then." the voice said again as two trees were suddenly up rooted, and thrown at the three of them. Kitchwa slashed the one that was thrown at him in half, and Alphonze was thrown to the ground when the one that was thrown at him hit him in the gut.

As Alphonze went to get up the dark figure appeared before Kitchwa.
"What's the Idea, throwing a tree at me!" snapped Kitchwa as he charged at the figure. SHWOO! the figure dodged Kitchwa's attack and said,
"Interesting, Koran would have simply allowed the tree to pass through him rather than wasting energy by drawing it in half..." then he went over to Alphonze and continued, "...And The tree would not have forced Koran to the ground, again because it would have passes through him."
"Quit yammering!" yelled Kitchwa as he attempted onceagain to stab the figure.
He dodged Kitchwa's attack yet again as he appeared behind Tatsuki.
"You must be Koran then." he said to Tatsuki.
"Hiya!" Tatsuki grunted as she attempted to hit him with the bow. FWOO! the figure stepped right through Tatsuki only to have Kitchwa try and slice him in two. "so Koran has been reincarnated as a scrawny little girl." he dodged Kitchwa's attack as he said this, by vaulting over Kitchwa's head and landing on a rock in the middle of the river.

he knelt down on one knee and place a hand on his chest and said,
"I am called Shadow;the necromancer"
then he pointed at Kitchwa, "Though you and the Yeti needn't remember, for you are about to die in the worst way imaginable,to be brought back and used as my pupets." WOHOO! Kitchwa threw his sword, THAK! "Agu!" Shadow let out a grunt when Kitchwa's sword had lodged it's self in his chest.
"And so ends another demon who dosent know how to shutup." said Kitchwa as he waded through the wather and drew his sword fom Shadow's chest.

"Demon, ha!" sneered Shadow as his eyes began to glow red."Thc, I was wondering when this forest was going to get interesting." replied Kitchw with excitment rather than fear.
"Carrotstick, you fool!" shouted Tatsuki. "He just survived being stabbed in the heart, he's not even bleeding and you can see the hole!" she finished with fear and confusion in her voice.
"You'd do best to listen to Koran boy!” said Shadow still very cruely. “I poses more power than your simple mind could possibly imagine, and I‘m much stronger than any demon that exsists in the old world. not even one as tough as Ci-oni could kill me."

"Shut up already!" yelled Kitchwa as he charged at Shadow (missing him of course). "Ci-oni's been dead for 5,000 years, how could you have fought her?!" continued Kitchwa as As he hacked and slashed at Shadow trying to inflict some sort of damage, Shadow dodging each and every one of Kitchwa's attacks. "you can barely keep up boy." sneered Shadow as he jumped over Kitchwa yet again. KERRI! Kitchwa jumped out of the way as Shadow tried to hit him with some kind of Necromatic spell.
"Was that supposed to be aimed at me?" said Kitchwa sarcastically after he dodged it.

BWONG! Tatsuki Fired and arrow at Shadow now that she had a clear shot.
"that helps." thought Kitchwa bitterly when he saw that the arrow didn't go any where near Shadow. FWOOM! Alphonze also tried to asist Kitchwa by throwing a tree at Shadow, though like Tatsuki's arrow it missed completely.

SHWOOO! Kitchwa suddenly felt stiging allover his body. All he could see was bright yellow light along with clouds of crimson and the smell of his own blood. "How do you like the
Necromancers ‘spell of a thousand swords’?" asked Shadow with even more cruelty in his voice.

As Shadow began to laugh maliciously the spell around Kitchwa broke, allowing him to step out all bloody and cut to ribbons; his clothing in taters. At that point while Shadow wasn’t paying attention Kitchwa went over and stabbed his sword down through the top of Shadows back and said.
"The name is Haru Kitchwa and you'd do best to remember it, because I'll see you in hell!" with that Kitchwa with drew his sword.
"Will you now?" said Shadow in a completely indifferent tone. "Kitchwa are you ok?" asked Tatsuki as she Alphonze and Garth ran over to them.

they all looked over at Shadow who despite his seemingly fatal injury was still not bleeding. "You will not stop me boy!" he grunted. "nor you or those fur balls Koran." Shadow finished as he began to laugh maliciously once more. "Whats so funny!" snapped Tatsuki who was now rather confussed. "You will all be dead by then, you will not see me rise to absolute power with my legions upon legions of the undead." he managed to answere while he was laughing.

"Thats it; he's cracked!" said Kitchwa irritataedly as he raised his sword and went to decapitatt Shadow. just then as though it were some kind of omen Shadow stopped laughing and started to chant, "hear my words, those who defy me dig their own grave for I shall give them no mercy. if you heed their prayers youll have to grant their wishes quickly, now begon and let them die!"

SHRIEIIEIIEII! next thing Alphonze, Kitchwa, or Tatsuki realized there was a black light underneath each of them. KWOBOOOM! there was an explosion and then they found themselves drifting down the river leaving Shadow far behind.
