Baboon Dragon Golden Nunchaku  

"I'm going to enjoy reducing you and your arrogance to dust, old timer!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

With a surge of his will, Kahless's Eden Ryuu Titan Avatar began weaving a series of intricate hand signs, its ten massive arms were moving at a speed that defied comprehension.

"What's he doing?" Daichi asked, staring at the dragon in confusion from a safe distance. "Is he... is he dancing?"

Soru Gurahs heard him and spoke using Wind Speech with an expression that told otherwise. "No, young one. He is preparing to unleash a Titan Jutsu."

"Huh!" Daichi was startled that Master Sorah actually heard his question from so far away, but then he frowned, "A Titan Jutsu? What's that?"

"Titan Jutsus are specialized techniques that can only be utilized by elite Titan Avatars," Soru Gurahs explained, using the wind to carry his message. "They require immense skill, focus, and Aether Steam reserves to execute. These are advanced abilities that go beyond basic elemental skills and often manifest reality-bending effects."

"Oh…" Daichi's eyes widened as he processed Soru Gurahs's words. He had never heard of such techniques before, but he could sense the power building within the dragon, the raw energy that threatened to unleash chaos upon the world.

"And what is this Titan Jutsu he's preparing?" Daichi asked nervously.

Soru Gurahs narrowed his eyes, studying the dragon's hand signs. "If I'm not mistaken... it's the Ironwood Brambles."

"Ironwood Brambles?"

"It's a devastating technique that allows the user to conjure a forest of living trees that attack their enemies with razor-sharp branches and constricting vines."

"That sounds... terrifying," Daichi muttered.

"Indeed," Soru Gurahs agreed. "We must be prepared."

…

Boom!

A surge of emerald-white energy erupted from the Eden Ryuu Titan Avatar as it completed its hand signs. The air around them crackled, and the ground trembled as a forest of towering trees materialized out of thin air.

"Kuhuhahaha! Show me how you handle this, old man!" Kahless roared triumphantly, "Titan Jutsu - Ironwood Brambles!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The trees, with their gnarled trunks and twisted branches, grew at an alarming rate, reaching heights of over fifty meters in a matter of seconds. Their leaves were razor-sharp, and their vines were thick and strong, capable of crushing a man with ease.

With their vines slithering across the ground like ravenous pythons and their branches slicing through the air like serpents, the Ironwood Brambles swung their blades at Avatar Soru Gurahs. The entire airspace of the mountain peak was now a tangled mess of wood and leaves, a deadly maze that threatened to ensnare and consume everything within its reach.

"This Titan Jutsu is devastating indeed." Sorah's voice and the Rice Guru's sounded into one as if they were speaking telepathically.

"Fuhahaha! You're about to taste wooden spikes shoved up your anal tongue!"

Soru Gurahs ignored Poahf's outburst and focused his intent on creating a protective barrier. With a swift movement of his staff, he conjured a swirling vortex of wind that encircled himself and Poahf, forming a shield that deflected the Ironwood Brambles' attacks.

Whoosh!

The branches and vines crashed against the wind barrier, but they were unable to penetrate its swirling defence.

'This barrier won't last long,' Soru Gurahs thought, sensing the strain on his energy reserves. The Ironwood Brambles were relentless, their attacks coming from all directions, and the wind barrier was slowly weakening under their assault.

He had to find a way to counter this Titan Jutsu, to break through the forest of living trees and defeat Kahless. But how?

"Hmm…"

While pondering, Soru Gurahs held the Dawn Sky Crusher firmly in his left hand and began focusing the Sage Curse's energy into the ancient wood. The glyphs on his skin danced as they channelled the curse's power into the staff.

His left arm began to darken, turning black as charcoal as the radiant glyphs bombarded the staff.

Sorah spoke faintly in his mind, a warning of the curse's corrosive influence. 'Be careful, Rice Guru. The curse… it will consume us if you're not careful.'

'I know, Master Sorah,' the Rice Guru replied telepathically. 'But I have no choice. I must protect you and defeat Kahless.'

He focused his intent, pushing the curse's influence to the edges of his consciousness. He would not succumb to its darkness. He would not let it control him.

"Shinka: Akatsuki no Sora Kudaki!"

Crack!

Soru Gurahs uttered the true name of his Vayrukumer. A blinding flash of light erupted from the staff, and its form began to shift and change. The ancient wood split apart into three sections, each connected by a length of iridescent chain. The sections then transformed, shrinking and condensing until they resembled a pair of golden nunchaku.

The nunchaku pulsed with a vibrant energy that resonated with the Sage Curse's power. The glyphs on Soru Gurahs's skin faded, their energy now fully absorbed into the weapon.

'I can't believe it… his Vayrukumer transformed!' from within the wind barrier, Warden Poahf stared in astonishment at the nunchaku. 'Wait a minute, Vayrukumers were somehow linked to one's spirit? So does that mean the scarecrow and the old man's souls are actually connected through that weapon?' As she was contemplating these notions, she felt a strange warmth within her own chest. 'Maybe… maybe I could do something similar with my Vayrukumer when I get better control over my powers.'

Warden Poahf continued to curiously observed the transformation of the Dawn Sky Crusher. She was a bit annoyed, however she was also impressed. 'Interesting… so that was the true form of the old man's Vayrukumer all along. A nunchaku eh? It's rather fitting, given his martial arts background.'

Swoosh!

Soru Gurahs dispelled the wind barrier that had been protecting them from the Ironwood Brambles. With a sense of newfound power coursing through him, he addressed Kahless, "This is the evolved form of Dawn Sky Crusher, the Baboon Dragon Golden Nunchaku. With it, I shall end your career of tyranny."

"Hmm?" Kahless narrowed his eyes to slit as he observed the strange energies emanating from the weapon. "Kuhahaha! So what? Am I supposed to be impressed? Show me what it can do first!"

With renewed fervour, the branches and vines pushed forward, aiming their razor-sharp edges at Soru Gurahs's naked form. However, he appeared fearless as he stood there.

Whoosh!

Moving gracefully, Soru Gurahs leaped into the air, and twisted as he executed a series of acrobatic spins. The nunchaku in his hands became almost unseen as their golden forms began slicing through the Ironwood Brambles with ease, shattering the branches and vines into countless splinters that rained down upon the mountain like confetti.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

The forest of living trees was decimated in a matter of spinning seconds, reduced to a pile of rubble and log.

"What the... such destructive force…" Poahf gasped in disbelief as she was blown away by the wind and debris. "How... how is that possible?"

Kahless also stared in astonishment as he witnessed the drastic deforestation. His Eden Ryuu Titan Avatar had been momentarily stunned by the sudden change in the battlefield. He had never seen a weapon capable of such destruction, such raw power.

"Interesting..." he muttered as a flicker of respect crossed his eyes.

When the dust settled, Soru Gurahs landed lightly on a perfectly cut tree bark as his posture radiated an air of calm amidst the chaos.

"That's not all I've got. I promised to end your career and that's exactly what I'm going to do." He glanced upwards at the dragon fiercely while holding forth the nunchaku. A smirk played on his lips as he said:

"Mezameteku: Saru-Ryu Kin'kō Nunchaku!"

Boom!

A huge burst of energy erupted from the weapon as its three golden sections commenced transforming into the truly awakened form. Three impressively large Baboon Dragons materialized behind Soru Gurahs. Standing at a height of 47 metres, they loomed over him with their eyes blazing with an inner fire and their bodies fashioned from solid gold.

The Baboon Dragon on the left – Saruto, was adorned with vibrant orange fur and possessed a muscular physique. Its right hand held a massive hammer that looked as if it could rocked the world.

The Baboon Dragon on the right – Sarubo, was the epitome of laziness. Its fur was a dull brown, and its eyes were half-closed as if it were perpetually on the verge of sleep. It leaned casually on a long staff while picking at its ear with a bored expression.

The central Baboon Dragon – Saruho, was the largest of the three and the elder sisters of both brothers. Its eyes were narrow and calculating, and its expression was one of wisdom and authority. It held a small, unassuming flask in its hand, the contents had a mixture of colours that defied description.

"By the winds..." Daichi whispered in awe as he witnessed the spectacle from afar. "Those...they look like Baboon Dragons!"

"Kyuu!" Breeze Plume chirped in agreement.
