There's an old saying about listening to the whispers in the wind. For most people, this is a reminder to relax and take stock of the world around him.
To Leopold Goienitz, the Heavenly King of the Wind, it was to be taken literally as he plotted at his private retreat plans for the future. His last two attempts to ressurect the Orochi in 1996 and '97 had failed miserably due to the meddling of Kyo Kusanagi and that thrice damned half-blood Yagami, so for now he had to play the role of the dead man waiting for the right moment, which he knew was approching. About a month ago, he felt a massive burst of Orochi power, the equivlant to the awakening of a new Hakkeshu and for the past while had been slowly increasing, the signature both familiar and disturbing with another undercurrent to it. Attuning himself to his element, the Hakkeshu let his mind drif, searching for the new Orochi blood. Within a few hours, he finally had a name.
"Ami Mizuno." he muttured to himself as he began to concentrate, attempting to understand her connection to his god. Soon, the winds painted him an image.
Of a bright purple flame.
"SONOFABITCH!!!!!!!!!!" Goientiz roared at the top of his lungs, his wild curses echoing through the keep at the thought of another Yagami.
"How could this be possible?! That bastard traitor Yagami had no family, no relatives. The only fesiable way would be if..." he ranted before his lips drew into a smile. "Of course, that baststard had an equally bastard daughter." With any luck, she would still be confused about her newly awakened powers, the perfect material for a perfect puppet. But wait, wasn't there a second signature as well?
Focusing again and digging deep into his powers, he managed to create a faint greek symbol of the planet Mercury. "Odd, what does this mean? Hmmmm..." he thought as he remebered an old story of an empire that used the powers of the Orochi much like what Rugal planned, but actually succeeded. They were despised by the Hakkeshu in how their leader lusted for their power, kidnapping the Hakkeshu of Shadow and plotting to take their power with their own artifical Hakkeshu who clamed to descend from the planets....
"If the story is true, then this may prove to be interesting. I will get revenge in using Yagami's own welp aginst him and revenge aginst those who attempted to steal our power. These truly are interesting times." he muttured as he looked at his current pet project. Floating in a vat of Orochi blood was the broken body of the Dark Haddou Akuma, slowly healing and adapting to the Orochi blood along with the Satsu no Hado abilities. He witnessed the devestation the Ansatsuken wrought on Osaka in the Mark of the Millenum, not even comparing to the Riot of Blood at full strength. With a bit of conditioning, Akuma would make the prefect weapon.
"Intresting times indeed."
"And Crystal Tokyo is now officially in the crapper."
