Ken Kihaku

"A white aurora of energy outlines her body as a huge energy spikes from her and it too also starts causing the landscape to tremble."

-Description of how it looked when Charlottes body automatically engaged it.

Decsription
Ken kihaku is one of the first power ups seen within the series.The darkstar archangels are known throughout their history for very aggressive and fierce combat.The ancestors of current and future darkstar kind knew that further into the future that there wouldnt be any difference from there current state,so they would need something to be able to help their new kind long after their gone.So they created a process which takes the strength and spirit of one when he/she dies.Then afterwards the spiritual energy along with the remains of the being is sprinkled into the air as it becomes one with the planet itself allowing for the person to be around them at all times.The literal meaning of ken kihaku is prefectural spirit which is of the ancient DS folk.The white glow that flows around the user is not to get mixed up with other techniques or forms.Especially White rush which almost has the same aurora color.This is a powerup consisting of a limited burst amount of dormant hageshi energy which allows the user to get back up with ease no matter how beat down they are.When activated it takes the pain away from the user for a small amount of time and allows them to still attack with very fierce moves hince the word hageshi which is japanese for "fierce".However,even though they are fierce attacks this is at the cost of the attacks being less effective due to the prefectural spirit energy having to split the energy for both attacks and taking away the pain from the user.It can be activated involuntarily meaning that if the user was about to be killed it would automatically engage itself as the energy is that of the ancient folk so the spirit would help the user.A prime example of this is when charlotte was fighting harbinger and it automatically gave her power without her even knowing that it activated itself allowing her to continue the fight.The catch to this power up is that it can only handle so much.If the user were to add on another technique or multiplier on top of this it would cause tremendous stress as remember it has to split the energy.Adding another form on top would break the powerup not only knocking the user out of it but possibly killing the user due to added pain and trauma from the extra form.This was first seen from charlotte when she was fighting against Harbinger when she was tired and had hardly no energy left at all.She was already in the state of ken kihaku but when he got ready to shoot the beam down she knew she didnt have enough energy to hold it back.So she engaged the Darkstar Red technique on top of it but as seen it caused her a instant massive headache and turmoil as she had to beg her body to last just enough to counter the attack.So this powerup is usually for a last resort attempt at taking on a threat.
