Minor note to the Developers: Think of the coding similar to two Dark Slayers when it comes to sheathing and unsheathing the swords.
Price: Campus Cash
Classes: Striker, Soul Fighter, Alchemist, Elementalist, Shaman. (All classes except Android)
Description: These katanas were made by a Legendary Guardian Assassin who mysteriously vanished many years ago, only leaving his favorite weapon behind. Time has not changed these powerful swords, but the power of the Dark Guardians has! The Dark Guardians have gotten their hands on these swords and have enchanted them with dark magic. They now seem so powerful, that when you wear them, you feel like you never want to leave them out of your sight. There was a legend that has been told about these powerful swords: "People would have lied, stolen, and killed just to try and catch a glimpse of these mythic blades." (Created by IGN: Draygashi).

Stance:
Stance Description: Two swords, one on each hip, in their cases. The left foot is on its toe, similar to Muay Thai's footing. The right sword is pushed back behind the user.
Appearance Note: Upon activating this Exocore, the user's hands become glove-less. The user gains a sword and case on each hip. When the user attacks, the swords will be used and the swords' cases will still remain on the user's hips. Look at Dark Slayer for reference, when the user attacks with Dark Slayer there is an actual blade drawn to attack, then sheathed again after attacking.

K: User slashes left with the left sword then jabs the enemy with the right sword . | 2 Hits | Damage: 105, 130 | Speed: Above Average | Recovery: Average
This combo is very short and and quick. The second input has some decent Block Stun. The third input is unsafe on a blocking enemy as it lacks in Block Stun. This combo has some decent Angle Points and surprisingly wide Hit Boxes.

Total Damage: 275
Total Number of Hits: 3
K: User takes the right sword and uppercuts the enemy. | 1 Hit | Damage: 105 | Speed: Average | Recovery: Slightly Below Average

This Juggle Launching combo has a double hit as the Launcher. Very little movement and good Angling. The Recovery on the Launcher is surprisingly good. Vertical Hit Boxes are extremely good. Launches as high as Dark Slayer's Kick Combo Juggle Launcher.

KP + PPPPP + KG
[275] + [330] + (140) = 605 (745)

________________________________________________________________________________________
Type: Multi-Hit Ground Hit
Total Damage: 140
Total Number of Hits: 4
KG: Stomps on the enemy. | 1 Hit | Damage: 50 | Speed: Average | Recovery: Average
P: Slashes downward at the enemy with the left sword, then with the right sword, then with both swords, making an "X". | 3 Hits | Damage: 30 per hit | Speed: Above Average | Recovery: Average
A Multi-Hit Ground Hit similar to Darksider's Ground Hit. A little bit of forward movement on the first input, which is just the stomp. Wide Hit Boxes on the second input, which is the last three hits. This ground hit has the EXACT same properties as Darksider's Ground Hit.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Type: Grab (Backward sending)
Animation Speed: Average
Damage: 270
G+P: Once the grab is initiated, the user crouches in front of the enemy then shoulder thrusts the enemy into the air. Once in the air, the user jumps up with the enemy and slashes the enemy repeatedly and spins at the same time, once landing this motion being the user and the enemy switching places. Once the spinning has ended and both the enemy and user have landed, the user then kicks the enemy.
Knockback is similar to Shaolin Snake's grab.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Type: Counter (Forward sending)
Animation Speed: Fast
Damage: 210
Unsuccessful:
Successful:
G+K: The user sightly unsheathes one of his swords in a guard-like motion. Once the counter connects, the user counters the enemy's attack and slices towards the enemy's mid-section.
This counter has active counter frames from the start up of the animation to the end. The counter start up animation takes about 1.5 seconds (OR VERY similar to Kingpin's Counter Start Up). Knockback is as far as Gentleman's counter.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Type: Semi-Dash Skill, Trap Skill, Juggle Launcher Skill
Damage: 350 when hit, 125 when stepping on flames.
SP Consumption: Same as Persona's Dash Skill.
Cool down: Same as Persona's Dash Skill.
V: The user takes both swords and charges forward, then slashes upwards. This skill leaves black and blue flames behind the user. Both parts of this skill are Unblockable.
Personal Description: For this skill, the user takes both of their swords and charges through enemies (Goes as far as Sabre's Claw's Dash Skill), leaving black and blue flames behind you. When an enemy is hit by your body, they are sent spiraling into the air (like Magma Destroyer's Pillar Skill). The flames left behind you last for five (5) seconds, and if an enemy touches them they are trapped like stepping on Fire Charger's Fire.
Developer's Note: This V Skill is like a combination of Persona and Fire Charger. It dashes through multiple enemies like Persona, but leaving BLACK AND BLUE FLAMES behind the user. If an enemy is hit by the dash, they are sent spiraling into the air like Magma Destroyer's Pillar Skill. If an enemy touches the flames, they are stunned like stepping on Fire Charger's fire. (NOTE: If an enemy is hit by the dash, they are not affected by the flames at all)
Extra Notes:
1) This skill is Unblockable.
2) Invincibility frames for as long as the dash goes.
3) Juggle Launcher
4) Flames trap like Fire Charger's fire.
5) If an enemy is hit by the dash, the flames left behind will not affect them.

Type: Grab Skill
Damage: 550
SP Consumption: Same as Raven Fang's Grab Skill.
Cool down: Same as Raven Fang's Grab Skill.
B: User takes one sword and uppercuts the enemy. Once connected, the user slashes the enemy into the air and jumps up with them. When in the air, the user slashes the enemy several times then kicks the enemy to the ground. This skill is blockable.
Personal Description: This move is a Grab (Like Raven Fang). When hit, you slash the enemy into the air, jump up with them (about a little taller than a character's height), and slash them several times, and while still in the air you knock the enemy back farther than Raven Fang's Grab Skill. You then jump down to where the Skill connected.
Extra Notes:
1) This Skill is block-able.
2) Knocks back farther than Raven Fang's Grab Skill.
3) Very fast.
