Sousuke watched from afar as the caravan left Soon's Sanctuary. It was a very concerning sight considering that the block of the city that the caravan was coming from was under a black out of sorts. Usually these type of things occurred not by coincidence. The ruling authority would claim it was a power failure when in fact it was something they did not wish to see being moved. The Gem merchant lord, or lady if one was to use proper gender times was married to the Daimyo. Sousuke figured as much she had certain influences and that it was what allowed this to occur. Sousuke could see torches burning brightly in the night as this was the last man-made version of light to be had aside from the moon which was curiously a red moon, which was something Sousuke had never seen before. He recalled reading somewhere that it was a blood moon, that it was linked to the end times or an apocalypse. The science minded man tried to rule out it was truly the end times. Katsuo had a theory that the stars in the sky were perhaps other worlds, and possibly dead ones at that. Sousuke was not so sure of that, it was a theory mind you. Sometimes there were things in the skies called shooting stars, obviously those were rocks called meteors, they were not in fact worlds. Sousuke knew this because he once had his anbu once collected a small meteor that struck in the area known as Deadline.
The caravan moved and he knew this because the torches moved too. A large black box was being transported. A box and not a crate. The crate was being carried by great beasts of burden. The box seemed to be floating? A curious notion. Why were animals involved if it could float? Sousuke ruled that it was because it needed a direction to go, and if left to its own devices it would just float there. The caravan was moving slowly, but at least it was moving. Once it was five kilometers away from Soon's Sanctuary the lights would come back on. It was very precise, which again fed into Sousuke's theory that it was indeed arranged. He would begin to make his trek towards the caravan so he could begin his takedown. Sousuke suited up, and wore his antlered battle armour. While inside the armour he towered over people and could match Kuro in size. He carried with him the unlit Perdition's Arrival and the not yet crackling Thunder Talon.
Sousuke stood in the way of the caravan. The caravan was certainly far enough away from Soon's so backup was not coming from Soon's, and for the Daimyo's men? It would take them some time to get here. The guards bid him to move. He did not. He merely stood in the way. They would indeed approach him, and Sousuke would draw his blades. He did not set them aflame or crackling with lightning. He merely traded blows and struck them down using the flat end of his blade. They would push forward and again he would strike them down each one at a time until all of them were felled. What was left was the black box. Sousuke would sheath his blades for the moment and he would conjure a plasma orb. He would float the orb up to light the object. It was still very much a box, but Sousuke would refer to it as a cube. The black cube had runes on it. Sousuke would focus for a moment and he would notice something peculiar. The runes were in fact moving. Sousuke looked for a power source. Yet he could not find any. He would then remind himself that the box was attached to beasts of burden. He turned to them and held out his hand. He fired blast bolts and blasted the ropes which bound them to the structure. The beasts proceeded to run away and for that he was indeed thankful.
Sousuke would continue to analyze the box before him. He moved his plasma orb to cut the ropes that were around the box. He watched as they fell to the ground. Again the runes were moving but now they were glowing red. He watched then as his plasma orb was absorbed into the box itself. Again. Strange. The box would begin to make a groaning sound from within. It sounded like it was in pain. Perhaps this thing was indeed quite alive? The moving runes were moving horizontally before, now they moved vertically. Sousuke would take several steps back as he felt something was going to occur. Indeed something would as the box would begin to open up.
