Kitsuki went straight home after viewing Hagoromo's Comet. Kitsuki lived in a brownstone townhouse with her sister Katsumi. The building had three floors and was fairly spacious yet compact. Their parents were wealthy but strict. They provided favorable living accommodations but nothing truly sprawling as they felt the sisters needed to earn opulence rather than have it handed to them. Katsumi was still out, either training or hanging out with other friends. The Comet was an inspirational event and unlike Kit who enjoyed brooding, her sister would be far more social after seeing a phenomena like that. Kit wasn't really in the mood for a night on the town. Especially after her Close Encounter of the The Third Kind.
A piece of the comet had broken off and entered the Earth's atmosphere. The object had crash landed in a nearby park after Katsumi and the Mizukage had left. Kit wasn't sure why but she was compelled to investigate and what she saw shocked her to her core. She caught a glimpse of a being. Something small but alive. Kitsuki shook her head.
I must be seeing things.....
The Comet was a mythical event, it had probably filled her head with images and thoughts that weren't reality. Kitsuki locked the door behind her and settled in. She started making a midnight snack: whole wheat toast with an elegant whitefish spread. The young girl changed into a pair of silk pajamas and walked out of the kitchen. She plopped on the sofa and reached for the TV remote then stopped. She was frozen in her tracks. There was something sitting on the TV. It was a creature. It was about the size of a small bird or fairy and it was staring right at her. Kitsuki's heartbeat stopped as her eyes widened in recognition of the being. The shape, size, and appearance were identical to the alien she saw at the meteor crash site. Whatever it was, it had followed her home.
Kitsuki swallowed and remained absolutely still. The young girl racked her brain for jutsu that could help her at this exact moment. The alien was just watching her. It was silent and unmoving but it was there. Kit didn't have any weapons on her nor did she have the courage to run to the kitchen and retrieve something. She looked at the remote and then back at the "fairy". The creature must have sensed her thoughts because it slowly rose from its crouched position on top of the TV. It floated in the air and a warm light emanated from it. Kitsuki could not see the full appearance of this alien. She wasn't obstructed by the smoke and debris of the crashsite. The darkness of the living room retreated and before her was a beautiful angel.
The angel had dark brown skin, a mass of wings sprouting from several areas, and long white hair. Even more shocking the angel was stark naked although perhaps Kitsuki was more surprised than she should have been. Its not like she hadn't seen similar imagery back at the WASP. Kit's spirit was calmed and she no longer felt fear or a desire to hurt the creature. She felt hope. She felt love. She felt understanding. Kitsuki set aside any plans of casting Ninjutsu. This creature had known she was here but had not attacked her. It had followed her home without incident. Kit had no idea what powers it held and so she decided striking first would be useless. She wanted to talk to it but she doubted that the creature would understand her. As if sensing her hesitation, Kitsuki heard a voice in a language she did not understand yet the meaning was clear to her.
ⵀⴻⵍⵍo. Pⵍⴻⴰⵙⴻ ⴷo ⵏoⵜ ⴱⴻ ⴰⴼⵔⴰⵉⴷ. ⵉ'ⵎ ⵏoⵜ ⵀⴻⵔⴻ ⵜo ⵀⵓⵔⵜ ⵢoⵓ ⴽⵉⵜⵙⵓⴽⵉ.
"What are you doing her-, wait....I can understand you. You can understand me?"
Kitsuki looked around. This had to be Genjutsu. Katsumi wasn't the type to play pranks though and she didn't know anyone in the village that would want to do such a thing. Perhaps a test from the Mizukage?
ⵢⴻⵙ ⵉ ⵛⴰⵏ ⵓⵏⴷⴻⵔⵙⵜⴰⵏⴷ ⵢoⵓ ⴽⵉⵜⵙⵓⴽⵉ. ⵜⵀⵉⵙ ⵉⵙⵏ'ⵜ ⵙoⵎⴻ ⴽⵉⵏⴷ oⴼ ⵜⴻⵙⵜ oⵔ ⵜⵔⵉⵛⴽ. ⵉⵜⵙ ⴰ ⵍoⵏⴳ ⵙⵜoⵔⵢ ⴱⵓⵜ ⵜⵔⵓⵙⵜ ⵎⴻ ⵡⵀⴻⵏ ⵉ ⵙⴰⵢ ⵉ ⴷoⵏ'ⵜ ⵡⴰⵏⵜ ⵜo ⴷⵉⵙⵜⵓⵔⴱ ⵢoⵓ oⵔ ⵛⴰⵓⵙⴻ ⵢoⵓ ⴰⵏⵢ ⴰⵍⴰⵔⵎ. ⵉ'ⵠⴻ ⵛoⵎⴻ ⴰ ⵍoⵏⴳ ⵡⴰⵢ ⵙⴻⴰⵔⵛⵀⵉⵏⴳ ⴼoⵔ ⵙoⵎⴻoⵏⴻ ⵡⵀo ⵛⴰⵏ ⵀⴻⵍp ⵎⴻ oⵔ ⵔⴰⵜⵀⴻⵔ....ⵙoⵎⴻoⵏⴻ ⵡⵀoⵎ ⵉ ⵛⴰⵏ ⵀⴻⵍp...ⵀⴻⵍp ⵜⵀⴻ ⵡoⵔⵍⴷ
Kitsuki was startled at how she was able to understand this alien language. It was as if this alien creature was singing, or vibrating, or something. It was hard to describe. It was as if the words were indecipherable but their meaning had a feeling to it. A feeling that enraptured her spirit and calmed her nerves. A feeling that communicated ideas and complex concepts that could then be translated into her native tongue. Kitsuki guessed that this was the alien's ability. Normally, she'd be extremely suspicious of a Angel from another world talking to her about assistance but for some reason Kit felt connected to this otherworldly visitor. Rather than run, scream for help, or attack she felt her more trustworthy instincts kick in. They were connected somehow, she didn't understand it when she had walked away but she did now. The angel had followed her home and it had done so without evil intentions.
"Help me....help the world....?"
That was what I wished for but....
ⵢⴻⵙ ⴰⵍⵍoⵡ ⵎⴻ ⵜo ⴻⵅpⵍⴰⵉⵏ....ⵎⵢ ⵏⴰⵎⴻ ⵉⵙ ⵣⵉⵣⵣ ⴱⵢ ⵜⵀⴻ ⵡⴰⵢ...
Over several helpings of whitefish toast, Kitsuki learned what Zizz was doing here on Earth. The details were not explained in depth but the general gist was provided. The planet was sick, it needed help or else it would eventually be destroyed. Zizz had sensed Kitsuki's yearning for goodness and justice in the world and had been attracted to her. The two were now bonded. Kitsuki could call upon Zizz's power at any time and the more righteous her cause, the stronger she would become. It was a synergistic relationship based on a common desire for good. At first Kit refused to believe it but as they spoke, she realized that this was the real deal. It was an opportunity. An opportunity to change the world, the very thing she had wished for in the presence of Hagoromo's Comet. Kitsuki learned the basics of Zizz's power that night and while she wasn't sure if she was up to this challenge, she rested knowing that perhaps Master Sukimori was right all this time. Maybe she was destined for greatness.
Over the course of the next few days, Kitsuki trained in private with Zizz. The Angel introduced herself as The Chronokinetic Universal Builder. The Angel's true power had yet to be unlocked but basically she could manipulate time and physically build stuff. It was a lot to take in but it wasn't like they didn't have time together. Zizz was always around Kit. Kit normally was a very private person but as time wore on, she began to feel like Zizz was a natural part of her. The Angel was whimsical, funny, and just a really nice person to have in your life. Kitsuki needed some time to adjust of course but it didn't take long before Zizz was almost always in her jacket pocket, hair, or just on her person. They both knew that their partnership needed to be kept a secret for the time being, but that was easy. Zizz could change size at the drop of a dime. She could shrink to a size so small nothing could see her. Kitsuki knew that if her own village was willing to attack others in exchange for some exclusives, then there was little doubt that other actors might plot to do the same if they knew about Zizz. For now, she resolved to tell no one about her secret not even Katsumi.
Kitsuki and Zizz trained at home. They decided that training in public at the village training grounds would be too risky. Kit and Kat's brownstone townhouse had a small workout area. It wasn't anything huge but it was big enough for the both of them to train comfortably. Kit stood in a fixed stance reminiscent to that of Tai-Chi. Kitsuki closed her eyes and listened as Zizz coached her on the details of her newfound power.
ⵢoⵓ ⵀⴰⵠⴻ ⵜo ⵙⵜⴰⵔⵜ ⵍooⴽⵉⵏⴳ ⴰⵜ ⵜⵀⴻ ⵡoⵔⵍⴷ ⵉⵏ ⴰ ⵏⴻⵡ ⵡⴰⵢ....ⴷoⵏ'ⵜ ⵜⵔⵢ ⵜo ⵓⵏⴷⴻⵔⵙⵜⴰⵏⴷ ⵉⵜ. ⴼⴻⴻⵍ ⵉⵜ.
Kitsuki took a deep breath and felt a warm glow bathe the room. The source was herself but she could feel that Zizz was the battery powering her. The power originated from Zizz passed into her and then was amplified by her willpower. The effect was miraculous. Kitsuki opened her eyes and turned them to the clock on the wall. It had stopped. The second hand was in complete and total stasis.
ⴱⴰⵛⴽ.
The second hand inched backwards.
ⴼoⵡⴰⵔⴷⵙ.
The second hand inched forwards.
Kitsuki's breathing became rapid as she realized what was happening. She was manipulating time itself. The girl began to hold her breath and when she could no longer take it she collapsed to the ground. When she looked back at the clock, she could see that it was moving forwards again like normal. So this is Time Release.....
From there, Zizz honed Kitsuki's skill with the Advanced Element. The first technique developed was called Phir-Se. Kitsuki practiced making the necessary seals before casting a wave of Time Release chakra. She could then slow down projectiles and techniques, even stop them entirely by manipulating time in a set amount of space. With practice and with Zizz's guidance she was able to expand this bubble. The next technique was known as Time Flow by covering specific weapons in the flow of time itself, she'd be able to use it like a chakra flow variant to damage people and objects. Zizz warned her that this technique could destroy but aside from hurting people it could also annihilate creations. Magnificent products of creativity and ingenuity. The Angel expressed to Kit her reservations about doing such a thing and the two agreed that crafted objects were in a special category unto themselves. The next technique she would try to learn is Unyielding Grace, it was a staight forward jutsu. Kitsuki could concentrate a blast of time to erode, degrade, and age anything that was caught in the beam's light. The next jutsu was less about Time itself and more about the sacred fighting style of the Angels that Zizz had taught Kitsuki: Tenshijutsu. Utilizing Tenshijutsu, Zizz instructed Kitsuki in the Cherubic Fist and also the fighting styles. She learned to move her body gracefully and quickly. Kit was a talented dancer and trained martial artists so she took to both styles beautifully. After a few days of training, she had mastered it. The pair went on to other Time Release jutsu from there including: Time Pulse, Cascading Haze, and Time Sphere, and Rapture. Kitsuki also took the time to learn a few jutsu of her own accord such as Aero-Vortex and Flick.
