Weeks have passed since you two fused together. You find yourself on a small smuggling ship that's just docked in Tokyo harbor. You step off the ship disguised as a sailor ready to do what you do best...

Mikoto (Tomodachi Maiza)
The tall sailor man just gestured casually to his 'coworkers' as he always did, in a way that meant 'I'll be back, going for a beer or two'. Maiza was a loner, the kind of man that didn't seem like he wanted to be friends with anybody and was perfectly alright with being left alone. While he was not always a bad man, he loved his alcohol... and his alcohol made him an idiot and a jerk. He would drive while drunk, break things, say things, and do things.
When Mikoto Alexandra Mercer had found him, he was so drunk he was about to be particularly stupid, threatening to push a man to his death from the balcony of a bar.
Thankfully, the other man was also very drunk, which kept him from understanding what had happened next. The kunoichi slit his throat with one quick slice of her claws, and as he fell to his knees gasping for air, she consumed him in a moment, saving the other man and getting a free ticket for Tokyo.
That was four days ago, leading to this moment when the smuggling vessel finally got to Tokyo, and when Maiza, a.k.a Mikoto, finally walked away from that group of sailors to reach the city. As soon as she was out of sight, her form changed, as her biomass seemingly boiled/morphed/shifted, and the large japanese sailor disappeared, leaving a beautiful young woman in a black and red kimono-gown with a purple flowers pattern and a pair of black pumps in its place. She sighed, stretching her arms out gracefully as she assumed her real form for the first time in days. She then set her light blue eyes upon the city...
Blackwatch had no idea what had happened to Alex Mercer, that much was for sure from their latest activities and radio exchanges. She was free to do as she pleased... and right about then, what she felt like doing was let the underworld know that they had a new enemy... One that would prey upon the predators, and make them pay for those who, like Alex Mercer himself a long time ago, couldn't defend themselves from their tormentors.
With one last look upon the city, she smirked. Mikoto Alexandra Mercer went hunting. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 stones (Ef.) into Ninja (Stealth) to get out of sight for a few seconds, either in a dark corner or a dark alley or something, where I will drop my disguise.
Then, 7 stones (Ef.) into Black Ops (Search area, Surveillance) plus 4 from Acute Sight, all into looking around, looking for prey (more accurately, a criminal, an evildoer, a thug or a thief).

You search up and down the streets until you find a bald tattooed man who was clearly Yakuza walking the streets. Looks like he's making his rounds on a protection racket.

Mikoto Alexandra MercerMikoto walked casually, pretending to be actually going somewhere and making sure she avoided the man's gaze. Then, she performed a very fast sequence of hand seals... of a genjutsu. An illusory clone of herself appeared, seemingly scared, from a close-by dark alley. She was limping and seemingly hurt, her kimono-gown damaged slightly here and there, revealing just a bit more skin than it was supposed to. The clone then spoke to the man in a frightened, pleading tone. "Sir, please... Please!! You have to help me... I beg you! They want to kill me! ...I'll do anything... just save me!"As though to prove her point, several sounds of steps and metallic sounds were coming from the alley behind her. ********************* In the meantime, the real Mikoto, hiding herself with help from the genjutsu, followed the man, positioning herself so she'd be in a perfect position to put a kunai against his throat and 'gently' extract information. If he didn't play along, she'd have to proceed with extracting it less kindly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 stones (Efficient) into Genjutsu to create an illusion of herself coming out of a nearby dark alley, seemingly hurt and pursued, with her kimono-gown a bit more revealing than usual, while sounds of pursuers can be heard from within the alley in question to further lure the man in. The goal is to get the yakuza to enter aforementioned dark alley. I will maintain next panel until my actions then are completed. 12 stones (Ef.) into Ninja (Stealth), 6 into defense, 6 into not being seen while I move behind the man while he is distracted.

"Alright, I'll help but you owe me big time for this." He says drawing a small pistol as you move in behind him.

Makoto
-Oh, I couldn't agree more, the real Makoto said behind him as she put a kunai on his throat while her free hand reached for the man's gun to disarm him. The clone vanished from the man's side immediately after, as she whispered to his ear. This is why I won't kill you... yet.
She crushed the handgun in her hand as she spoke softly, in a slightly louder tone to the man:
-I suggest we make a new sort of deal. You hand over all the information you have about your bosses and any local criminal groups you know about. In exchange for your very helpful cooperation, I allow you to walk away, take the nearest boat or flight, and leave for permanent vacation so you end up not being there when I visit your little friends.
She pressed the pointy end of the kunai slightly against the man's throat, not enough to cut or pierce the skin, but enough to let him know that its blade could easily leave him bathing in a pool of his own blood if he did not comply.
-Refuse... and, well... I'm going to extract the information I need... one way or another. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 7/7 P.L: 5/5 E: 33/33 P.L: 15/15
1 stone to maintain my illusion, until...
14 stones (Ef.) into Ninja (Taijutsu); 9 to disarm the man as I hold my kunai under his throat, 5 (all for my Strength) to simply crush the handgun in my hand once I seize it;
7 stones into Statecraft (Assertive, Intimidate) plus 5 from Disquieting, all 12 into convincing the man that he better obey and cooperate, or else. ^_^
End E: 25/33 P.L: 5/15 Defense: 10 (5 Ref.Dodge, 4 Toughness [No 2x damage, No AP], 1 Power Level), 12 VS Close quarters attacks (2 Flexible Skeleton) Mental Defense: 18 (8 Intelligence, 10 Mental Defense) Energy Defense +5 Genjutsu Defense +5

"F*** you b**ch!" The thug snarls. "I will not betray my family!"

Mikoto
"Not betray my family"... The young woman could relate to that. She sighed... Too many memories.
-Not willingly, you won't. And I respect you for that, despite the fact you called me a bitch. As a token of my esteem, I won't kill them if I can avoid it...
Her eyes changed, becoming bright red as the three tomoe appeared in a circle around their center. She forced him to turn, and stared into his eyes.
-...But you will still tell me all I need to know.
Her Sharingan eyes acted as a conduit, forcing him to think about his companions in crime, and allowing her to see those thoughts in his own eyes. She kept going, forcing as much info out of his mind as she could draw out, before using the sheer power of her eyes to knock the man unconscious. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 7/7 P.L: 5/5 E: 33/33 P.L: 15/15
Activating Sharingan eyes, then...
8 stones (Ef.) into Ninja (Taijutsu) to force the man to turn around and cross my eyes with his gaze;
17 stones (Ef.) into Sharingan (Read minds, Mental Bolts) plus 4 from Sharingan Eyes; 11 into reading the Thug's mind to get all the info I can on his on Yakuza group, and if possible, of their main rivals; 10 into a Mental Bolt to K.O him for as long as possible.
End E: 25/33 P.L: 5/15 Defense: 10 (5 Ref.Dodge, 4 Toughness [No 2x damage, No AP], 1 Power Level), 12 VS Close quarters attacks (2 Flexible Skeleton) Mental Defense: 18 (8 Intelligence, 10 Mental Defense) Energy Defense +5 Genjutsu Defense +10 Eyes: Sharingan

You pierce deep into his mind. You locate all you need to know... The names and faces of all his cohorts,. their bases of operation, and the location of a few safehouses with some money stockpiled.

Mikoto
As she felt the man's body become immobile in her hands, Mikoto allowed him to fall down to the ground, unconscious. She gave him a calm though bitter look.
-Thanks for the help. If you're lucky, you'll wake up before any cops find you.
She then turned around, started running, and leaped onto a nearby wall, running on it until she reached the rooftop, where she ran some more and leaped onto another building, then another, and so on... towards the Yakuza group's main headquarters. Tokyo's criminal underworld needed to be told a message... a message that there was a new player in town, and that she was far worse than they could imagine. A message they would learn the hard way. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 stones into Acrobatics, plus 5 from Leaping; 4 to run at speed 4 towards a nearby building; 1 to leap onto its side...
At this point, 4 stones into Wall-Crawling to run onto said wall straight up;
and the other 6 stones of Acrobatics to clear the gaps between other buildings as I head towards the Yakuza group headquarters.

You swiftly make your way to the Yakuza office. A small paper recycling company used as a front for their offices. You hear sounds of a struggle inside, most likely a woman held against her will.

Mikoto
As the sound of struggle reached her ears, Mikoto Mercer didn't waste any time infiltrating the building, heading towards the sound while avoiding notice with all the stealth and cunning a Konoha Jonin was capable of. As she advanced, and just before she'd reach her objective, reddish-black tendrils crawled up from inside her kimono-gown onto her right hand, covering it and altering its shape until it was a vicious, wicked clawed hand. Somebody was better not be hurting a girl too bad, or else he'd regret it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 stones (Ef.) into Ninja (Stealth) to enter unnoticed and make my way to the source of the struggling sound undetected;
1 stone into Biomass Morphing, plus 3 from Prototype, into changing her right hand into a +4 Claw (2x damage, added with Living Weapon).

You find a group of 5 Yukuza officers, and two girls barely over 16 in front of you. Both are busty, tied to chairs, and stripped to black undergarments, one is a blonde and one is a redhead.
"You Bastards!" The blonde yells. "When my family and friends find you they'll-"
*SMACK!* The lead Yakuza backhands her face. "Hold your tounge Yukihiro... If your families want to see you girls alive again, they will have to pay a great sum for you two."
"Just think." Another whispers to his buddy. "The daughters of the two richest familes in Japan, and all we had to do was sneak onto that school grounds with some cloroform, and drag them back here. Way too easy."
"Yo boss, when can we have some fun with them?" Another asks.
"Only if they refuse to pay. We'll get more money if the goods remain... untainted." He says tracing a knife blade along the outline of "Yukihiro's" bra.

Mikoto
Mikoto frowned, disgusted at the men's words. Was that the kind of villains she was dealing with? Gangsters who'd just walk onto school grounds to kidnap young women, and threaten to rape them should a ransom not be paid? Her clawed arm shifted near-instantly into a slender mass of biomass tentacles, which she threw at the man in a strange, alien noise. The "arm" extended like it was made of rubber, in order to grab the man and bring him back to her... where she broke his arm like it was a twig with her other hand. She walked into the room, holding the man with the tentacle-arm, whose appendages wrapped themselves around the man's body, holding it so he couldn't move an inch despite the pain and his likely rage.
-Hold it! Any of you thugs move, your boss will lose a limb, then I'll kill you. If you know how to count, that means four body bags and a legless, armless boss. Be aware that payment will have no effect on me having some fun with you, she said, using their own words in a very intimidating way.
She didn't really intend to kill them all or butcher their boss, but they didn't need to know that. All she wanted was for them to hesitate long enough for her to get the girls out of danger. If the thugs were foolish enough to try and harm the girls or shoot at her instead of obeying her order to stand down and not move, she'd use her biomass to create hardened cocoons to protect the girls.
-I know it's scary, girls... but I am actually here to help, she said, without looking at them so to not lose her enemies from sight for even a second, her Sharingan eyes helping with that. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start H: 7/7 P.L: 5/5 E: 33/33 P.L: 15/15
1 stone into Power Level to use an additional action;
18 stones (Ef.) into Biomass Morphing, plus 4 from Prototype; 12 stones to turn my left arm into a +4 Weapon (Tentacle-mass arm), 2x damage, and Range 4 or Area effect 3 centered on Mikoto. The weapon adds +2 to the Wpn.mod instead of applying 2x damage when grappling someone. The other 10 stones are to create biomass around the two girls to protect them from attack if I sense, through my Prescience, that they risk being harmed.
14 stones (Ef.) into Ninja (Biomass Weapons, Inhuman Power) plus 6 from my Tentacle-mass arm); 12 into grabbing the boss man and holding him immobile next to me, 8 to break his arm when he gets here.
6 stones into Statecraft (Assertive, Intimidate) plus 5 from Disquieting, all into ordering the men to not move an inch, or else.
End E: 14/33 P.L: 5/15 Defense: 10 (5 Ref.Dodge, 4 Toughness [No 2x damage, No AP], 1 Power Level), 12 VS Close quarters attacks (2 Flexible Skeleton) Mental Defense: 18 (8 Intelligence, 10 Mental Defense) Energy Defense +5 Genjutsu Defense +10 Eyes: Sharingan

The two girls look on in awe, clearly they appear used to seeing strange stuff like this.
"What are you fools waiting for. Put your weapons down!" The boss yells frantically.
"Sorry boss, but Viper said she'd kill us if we failed to get the ransom." A liutenent says. "We won't be backing down just cause this freak has you for a meat shield." With that the men pull their submachineguns and fill the boss full of lead, so much for that idea.
Both girls pale as the horror before them, clearly they were NOT prepared for such gore.
