So once again, I am here. My weekly visit. There has not been 2 updates since I left. You will all pay the price. Unless there's an update in the next hour. Then I will spare you all.

You nod your head and turn around, leaving them with your back to spew their venom. You hear Vlidik complain and hiss. Out of your peripheral vision you see movement and ready yourself for an attack. Yet you hear Myrok's voice boom throughout the realm.
"Let him be," Myrok orders. "If the fool would rather fight all three factions, then let him go. Besides... he's already missing out on the most important information of all. Go on Tensei, go screw yourself. In all your wisdom and resourcefulness, you will still find yourself overwhelmed. You're not dealing with regular mortals here you pitiful fool".
You stop in your tracks, as do Myrok's minions. It would appear that although the demons seem to be a chaotic and rebellious group, Myrok's word is still law and unquestionable. Interesting...
"Yes, that's right," you hear him continue. "I suppose your situation has finally kicked in, hasn't it? We're demons, and you can't trust a word we say. I'll admit that gladly, it will just fuck with your head even worse. But I'm sure by now, the trepidation has flowed slowly from your mind's thoughts and forced your heart to quaver. You're not dealing with mortals anymore. Their limits don't apply anymore. You were considered superhuman on your world, and rightfully so. But here, you're subjected to our limits, and you're not especially powerful. You're about a mid-level devil at your current state. And you don't even know about the other... intricacies of our world. And the hidden factions at work here. Did you think this would be easy? A quick and effortless venture? Like the lower realms? You poor, immature fool".
You squeeze your fists in frustration. This is most likely part of his plan, but if he's telling the truth, he's right. There's a ton you don't know about this place... And if there really are limits at work against you here, you'll be truly ruined if you have to find out your limits at a crucial moment.
"This wasn't a last ditch effort to rekindle our arrangement," Myrok continues. "You made your decision. You can go live with yourself and that mistake you made. For however long that might be. Let's go, we'll pick apart what's left of him later. If there's anything left".
With that said, you turn around to find them all gone. All you heard was a loud flutter of massive wings before their complete disappearance. You look up at the crimson sky, but even there, they are no where to be found. Perhaps further information might have been a more prudent choice. Then again, the thought of consorting or compromising with a demon brings a foul taste to your mouth. And of course, there's the question of the validity of Myrok's claims.
Yet somehow, for some reason, you can't help but feel he wasn't lying. As you stand there and look around at this desolate and foreboding place, you can't help but feel that this realm IS different from all the rest. How different, and to what extent, you don't know. But if it's true that failure will force you to remain here, and Madara is in charge... Well, it won't be good for anyone back home. But if Madara is truly in charge, capable of manipulating even the souls of Hell... Why doesn't he target you directly? Why instead would he send more minions to do his dirty work?
Is there perhaps a limit to his power? Or a cooldown period? Does the use of his power leave him fatigued or weakened? More screams of agony cry out all around you. The tortured plead for you to help them once more. The woman who addressed you earlier begs for you to release her soul.
Should you help the tortured? Or go back on your journey? You still don't have much to go on here... ======= A: Head back towards the flowery field you saw earlier B: Aid the tortured and release the ones around you C: Continue onwards in the direction the demons came from D: Head towards the mountain path E: Head back towards the area where the most cries of agony were emanating from F: Free Will

I find it interesting they aren't concerned about speaking ill of Madara, since he is supposed to see and hear all.

Voting to propose exchanging information for helping the tortured souls
We obviously lack info or allies. They're the only ones that may help us. We have to be wary to trust them but we don't have much of a choice.

D. To the heavens we shall climb.
Even in this desolate and revolting area, we won't compromise. This place is trying to discourage us into abandoning our hope, so we lose. They're afraid we're going to pass this Realm.
And joining a side sounds... distasteful to me. Hatred often comes from zealousness to one's organization.

Two votes....
You do realize UL that complaining for more updates while not voting seems a little silly, right?

D: Head towards the mountain path
"This is getting ridiculous," you say to yourself and whatever damned soul happens to overhear. "I've been training my entire life. I don't think I've done a single real long-term mission. Saving a village and destroying the Sound, that's it. And while I've used all my time to train for the sake of others, it's done nothing. Madara has somehow been able to build up his forces, corrupt the entire world, and train himself at the same time. I bet Madara didn't train by sitting in a forest for eight months waiting for lion man to show up. You know what? It ends right here, right now."
You dramatically throw off the cloak you were wearing for the sole purpose of dramatically throwing off. Massive, pointed sunglasses adorn your face. You form thousands of hand seals in seconds.
"Kick reason to the curb!" you shout.
The ground violently shakes beneath you, and bottomless fissures roar open around you.
"Do the impossible!""
As the earth moves, the mountain begins to crumble, releasing massive boulders to fall thousands of feet. It completely turns to rubble.
"See the invisible!"
In this dark and dreary realm, a few rays of bright, clear sunshine begin to penetrate the gloomy sky and red clouds. The few rays turn into a massive onslaught of beautiful light, destroying the sky and transforming it into an awe-inspiring blue picture. The fractured earth begins to sprout flowers, and rabbits peacefully graze on plants.
"Touch the untouchable!"
You begin to float off ground, rising to the glorious sky above you. This Realm no longer needs you; you have purified it, releasing its souls from torment and forever ending the political Danzoing occurring between Devils and Demons. The Asura Realm is waiting for you. Before you in the clouds stands the gate of Asura Realm. The gate swings open, inviting you into its sanctuary. After taking a single step inside Asura Realm, you begin to float to the sky again. You passed the test in a single second.
"Break the unbreakable!"
As you continue gracefully rising further and further, achieving what should have been completed years ago, you know what you must do. You walk into God Realm, and you see a massive marble pyramid. The bright sun shines brilliantly off of its polished surface. On top of the pyramid, sits Madara, lounging in his chair of villainy and plotting his next one billion moves.
"Ah, 21, you completed Asura Realm in a single second," he says as if it were a piercing observation. "Just as I planned."
"That's bullshit and you know it," you plainly state.
"I planned on you saying that," he nervously says. "I planned on you possibly making a jutsu - I planned you would call it Anthem of Horus - and I planned a counter for it. I planned on you finding out it didn't work against Sasuke's Susanoo, so you'd fall right into another plan," he adds.
"I have a plan to beat you," you say in the deepest and most macho voice you can muster. You think multiple Deva spirits gained chest hair hearing your voice. No, you don't think; you know they gained chest hair.
"I planned for your planned plan!" he shouts, stumbling up out of his chair. "I-"
You rudely interrupt him with a plasma bolt to the face.
"Anti-time/space Plasma Bolt GG," you say. His mask is completely melted, and his face is covered in horrible burns. He falls to the ground in agony, taking his last breath.
"I'm actually ok," Madara says. You notice he's standing above his faceless body. "I planned on you making a highly specific and complicated anti-time/space Plasma Bolt. You see, I planned by making a time/space/soul jutsu. It only protects me from your Plasma Bolt, but I planned for that," he grins.
You summon Leo.
"Yeah boss?" he goofingly asks.
"Tell him the story of how I became the Prince of Bel-air," you command.
The End

Was meant to be disappointing, with the fight between Madara and 21 never resolving.

You turn and walk back towards the mountain. The cries and curses of the tortured taunt your ears, but you pay them no mind. They must have done something to force themselves to be condemned here.
As you walk back towards your original entry point, you notice that the shrieks and cries of pain are clearly louder. Much louder. You look up towards the sky and notice what appears to be a thin veil of mist speed from what you assume to be the west head towards the east. The mist maintains an odd, asymmetrical shape as it speeds supernaturally to the other side of this world.
That doesn't bode well.
Luckily, you aren't heading in that direction. Not yet, anyway. You head towards the mountain, it's sheer height an affront to nature. As you enter the outer perimeter of the mountain, you notice the terrain begins to change gradually. The cries of the tortured have ceased, all at once, as if silenced. Are the eyes of everyone in this hole on you?
You look down at the ground and crouch after ensuring your safety. You notice that the ground is no longer fully solid. The ground is soft, hampering, and it's color, like everything else in this sick world, is red. an earth shade of red. You grab some of the earth and notice that it rolls down your gloved hand like a semi-solid, with enough weight to significantly affect your movement.
"Hmmm..." you think to yourself out loud. "If a mud slide were to happen here... I'd be on the receiving end of an inescapable trap..."
You bite a side of your lip in frustration as you look around for a path. You notice the path you had observed earlier is now gone. The environment is changing at will, without any pattern. Is this a property only the mountain area has? Or does the entire realm share this potential?
If the entire realm can alter it's state at will, and so swiftly, then truly no path is safe. This mountain is a good of a spot as any to continue your search., if that's the case.
But... is that the case? Or is it just this mountain that's cursed? The entire realm is cursed surely...
"21?! If that's you, come to us 21!" you hear Kakashi scream from the distance.
You run towards the direction of the voice and stop short on the edge of a large hole in the side of the uphill. You notice that the hole has a huge drop off, it's at least 80 feet down. You crouch down closer to the edge and notice that the side of the hole's walls are made up of the same strange substance. It makes chakra walking impossible. This is most likely a trick. And the realm has set it's trap well. Assuming this is a trap... You look at Kakashi as he struggles to signal you from the darkness at the bottom of the hole.
As you peer closer, you think you see Itachi as well.
"This is a really played out trick," you say calmly as you observe the two things infront of you. "I think it's also a little obvious, don't you? I'm here, in Hell, and somehow, my two closest friends are stuck in front of me? Doesn't that sound like a load to you?"
"Believe whatever you want 21," Kakashi says in a cool tone. "I know the way it looks, and I don't want you to fall for it. I fell here trying to save Itachi. I just wanted to get your attention so that you can try to prevent others from falling into the same trap".
"And you just happened to know I was coming by?" you say with one raised eyebrow. "How am I even supposed to believe you're in here? How can I trust you're real? This is all a mind fuck".
"Listen, Itachi is REALLY hurt," Kakashi says with emphasis. "I am concerned that our other team members might have gotten transferred here too. I already told you, I know how this looks. I don't want your help. But I do want you to try to prevent this from happening to the others. Itachi and I, we should have known better; But some of the others are just kids. They are shinobi, but they haven't seen what we've seen. They won't be ready for something like this".
You stand up. Some of his mannerisms make you really question if this is real or not. You also flash back to what Myrok said, about not knowing the rules that govern this realm, and the different factions... If this is Kakashi, you can't leave him here. And for all you know, that might really be Itachi. It's a really unlikely chance, but it is a possibility.
"How is Itachi not healed by my blood yet?" you ask, purposely keeping the question vague.
"I... I don't know," Kakashi answers, his eye showing confusion and concern. "I was overseeing the duties you left in my care. I took a break, went to check on Itachi and Sasuke... and Zetsu showed up. He snagged Itachi and I, brought us to Madara. Before we knew anything, we were awake here. None of our jutsus are behaving normally. We've had to rely on taijutsu. Itachi got swallowed up in this hole that suddenly opened up. That's all I know. I knew it was you because of your chakra signature. Your glowing aura doesn't make it any harder to find you either".
"I'm glowing? What do you mean I'm glowing"
"Yeah, don't look at me," Kakashi replies as he winces in pain. "You didn't use to glow, but then again, I don't think we're on Earth anymore, are we? Would explain a lot of things. I can hardly tell the glow unless I have the Sharingan activated, but you're glowing. The things we fought, it was the opposite. It was like they were sucking light IN. I dunno, it's hard to explain... Just make sure the kids are alright, please". ==== Two Part Selection 1: This is a trick, ignore it and continue on 2: This might be real, try to investigate it closer 3: Even if it's a trick, help the possible impostors out and see what information you gain.
After picking one of the above options, what do you do from there? If you're trying to investigate further, how or what can you do? If this is a trick, how do you know? If you think these are impostors, what are you trying to gain out of them?
