The Trail to Atlantis

"Batten down the hatches, we are going in quick this time old gal" the lanky Brittish sounding being said as he jumped about like a puppy after a laser pointer hitting buttons and flipping switches on a gleaming chrome panel. The blue glow inside matched the walls that light up with mysterious symbols, the letters of a long forgotten language that only few knew. One of whom was currently hurling through time and space attempting to pick up a group of people for who knew what. The short brown haired Time Lord paused for a second before placing his glasses over his eyes and crossing his arms, leaning forward at the hips he peered at something very tiny, it was some form of reading but it seemed that two realities were in the process of colliding. It seemed to be effecting those he was in the process of picking up, of course before the highly intelligent being could make heads or tails of the details it was already done...

Dusk Tachibana
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first man was slouched at a bar, it was in a small gathering of ram-shackled houses, no doubt some underground illegal bazaar or the equivalent. The Doctor did not know, but the first person he picked up nodded his head as per their agreement. The Doctor really fancied himself as clever this time, this time he went in an order, as fun as winging it was he decided for something this vital he had better plan. Since the figure gave the nod the Doctor stopped the blue box in middle of the bar, landing it perfectly on a table...which promptly collapsed under the weight. The doors opened and two men stepped out, though it only seemed as if one did the other moved so fast that Dusk would not be sure if it was a figment of his imagination or not.

"Dusk Tachibana, I do hope you have sunscreen lotion with you" the Doctor said extending his hand, if Dusk accepted the Time Lord would cajole the man into the Tardis before it would disappear with the same ungodly screech of the parking break, it had appeared in. If Dusk however did anything else he would find himself waking up two hours later in a blue room with a white bed and a tray of food.

Kurokon Shikyo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another nod, and another person, this time The Doctor had to almost physically fight his urge to stop here and study all the tools around them but he knew that time was vital and as such this time he simply stuck his arm out from the door of the Tardis. The arm covered in tweed would appear and vanish so quickly that it was doubtful if the Tardis ever had a hold there, regardless of the other man's actions or senses he would find himself shifting through many realities and times as he was dragged into the blue police box above him. In those few seconds Kurokon Shikyo would see over one thousand different realities, those that could be and those that never were, many would be driven mad by this but in this case it probably only served to pry open the mind of this one further.

"I will explain soon, just join the others for now please?" The Doctor would ask before rushing back to the console and jamming on some more buttons. The frantic speed of which this was all done was quite startling.

Kikato Rinku/Brink
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next people they would find walking along outside, this time the Tardis simply rushed up from behind the men, opened it's door and seemingly ate the men who would fall neatly onto the couch along with Kurokon Shikyo and Dusk Tachibana if he had came along willingly.

"Sensei, Brink, everything will become clear soon. Just whatever you do, try not to use too much chakra in here. It is not as predictable..." Roland trailed off as he watched a screen, lines of text speed across it much faster than even one who trained their sharingan to it's limits could keep with yet somehow the one known as Bishop, a monk ninja, was keeping pace. There were quite a few already gathered and even if they spoke, Roland and The Doctor would save their words for later.

Whatever was happening, the feeling to wait was imposed heavily upon all the souls here, while it seemed chakra itself was reacting oddly in the Tardis, the spiritual energy of Roland Ootsutsuki was off the chart, and another voice was clearly present in his head, guiding him along.

Makussu Koutaishi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speeding along this time the Tardis did not even shift, it simply kept hurtling towards a group that was training, this time Roland, The Doctor and anyone else who wished to help would shoot their arms out and yank the person inside as it continued to speed along the skyline of Ukiyoe before veering suddenly upward and tossing Makussu Koutaishi onto the gigantic couch and hurling The Doctor to one side of the Tardis, and Roland, spiraling from his failed second balancing grab, to the other side. This of course left this explanation up to the decision of the other three or four ninjas already gathered within the Pandora's Box that was the Tardis.

Venus
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next person was tanning on the edges of the lands of the Mist, why one would tan on such an overcast day The Doctor doubted any of those gathered here could tell him. Instead the police box suddenly appeared with it's grinding gears just above the woman with it's doors open. It materialized, fell to the ground enclosing her within and then shifted again, and spun upwards bringing the woman into the fold and flinging her onto it's place of choosing the couch.

"Do take a seat, everything will become clear soon" The Doctor said in a sing song voice as the blue police box continued it's journey.

Aoimara
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This time the Tardis took an approach similar to that of the one it took with Dusk, Aoimara would be sitting upon a dune gazing off into the distance as the sun set before she would hear the gear cranking sound of metal on metal that preceded the more solid Tardis landings. It's doors would then open and out would step a man dressed in a brown tweed jack, blue jeans and a pair of odd looking sneakers no ninja had ever seen.

"Care for an adventure?" The Doctor asked Aoimara a twinkle in his eye as he extended his hand, like before more than one person had darted out of the box when it opened, however this time Aoimara would notice it even less than Dusk had, maybe one day she would recover the almost instantaneous flash but it was doubtful. Hopefully the female ninja would accept the Doctor's hand, where she would enter into the Tardis with him to meet the other ninja, and pick up the remaining. If not she, like Dusk, would suddenly find herself waking up in a blue room with only a bed alone in two hours time.

Taika/Kaigen Shikyo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next was a group, though this time it was much more odd suddenly the two would see flashes of a man with short brown hair silently mouthing something. It came to the two in the middle of a dream, and both may have written it off as such except for the next part. Suddenly both of their eyes shot open and Taika and Kaigen Shikyo found themselves by themselves in each of their rooms with a bed, however both had awoken with the door to the room open and around the time that Venus was picked up. What they did next was up to them to explore the many hallways of the Tardis, who knew what rooms they would come across on their journey to the center of the Tardis. (The Tardis itself fluctuates, you two must describe coming to at least two different rooms before meeting up with the others).


Yahiko Judal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judal would hear a voice inside of his head, it was different than any voice he had heard before. This voice seemed to call out to his body, mind and soul at the same time leading him on like a notes on a track of music, each new note bringing about a new action. The voice lead him deep into the desert where he saw a tiny music box, as the music brought him to approach suddenly reality melted around him and he woke up in a room similar to that of Taika but at the same time as Dusk or Aoimara would have if they had resisted.

((So you can see why I asked where you are, also the Tardis is a finnicky gal, she knows why you wanted to join and works accordingly. So you must rp waking up on the tardis, and tomorrow I will be posting in reply to that and the introduction to our first setting where we will promptly discover the plot))

Ahh the smell of genuine booze and cards were the right thing to smell in the afternoon, the quench for adventure being what this male needed to get rid of the rust of the everyday wandering shinobi life. Sat somewhere in the middle of the bar itself in the black market was a strange specimen of a male, his odd shaped hair lounging behind his chair as he threw a pair of cards onto the table and smiled with glee," Looks like I win again mates...Better luck next time," the almost charismatic male pulled back his earnings and stuck them into his duster pockets as he stood up and walked to the bar to get himself a small drink. Retiring to his normal seating he would look around the area, his head nodding to something not even he understood, but knowing the strange details surrounding him who gave a fuck? Knowing this he sat down his drink for a moment to pull something out of his pockets when he heard the creaking of what sounded like a bunch of gears having the roughest of sex with each other.

Pushing back from the table, he remained in his chair as he watched a blue box appear onto his table (not literally his but you get the point) in which he blinked," Not...Drunk so why did a blue box appear out of nowhere?," as the box opened and a male extended his hand towards the odd man, Dusk could only blink for a moment before smiling and standing up. Taking the hand of the male he would happily go along as he looked around," Sunscreen? Well this beats sitting in the usual area, hope this is gonna be fun," being pulled into the box he observed the same gear sounding sex sound, wondering if this "box" was going to fix itself or would he have to bear with it.

Taika was having a pleasant dream on this night, which is an uncommon thing ever since he moved into his new apartment. Why was he having unpleasant Dreams? Beans snored. Loud. He snored so loud, that whenever Taika would sleep, only roaring of a large beast could be heard, which would spiral out of control, into Taika being to weak to fight of the some weird beast with a single odd eye, and to many tails to count. He had no idea what it was. In the mean time, he saw some weird images of a man trying to say... something to him. He couldn't tell what exactly was said, but he could feel himself awakening. Than his eyes shot open, and were filled with Blue.

When he looked around, all he saw was a door slightly cracked open, and his gear to his right. Beans was no where in sight, so he made note to find out if he was...wherever he is now. If he is, well, he could just make him appear with his Flying Thunder God technique to go to him. Well, in the mean time, Taika(who was in his Kimono for some reason) grabbed his gear, and strapped it to himself. He noticed that the Fierce Deity Mask wasn't on his person, which made things a little difficult for him, but he would live. So, he strapped his weapons pouch to his hip, and noticed his Ink Shot.

 He really wasn't thinking when he made that. 

Next would follow his Zanpakuto, Nemui, who was still sleeping. Gyuki was too, to his surprise. She would go along the small of his back. The Sword to be strapped on next was the Sword of Kusanagi, which would go to it's usual spot, followed by Kubikiribocho, which would go on the polar oposate shoulder to his Sword of Kusanagi(it's on his right shoulder)

When Taika was ready, he made his way to the door. He peeked out through it, before taking to the sealing. He didn't want to be seen, after all. He would be using his octopus tails, simply because he preferred it this way, and he hasn't had a chance to use them yet. As he moved, he came across another room, this one with the door open all the way. Taika took a look inside, and to his surprise, he could see the stars of the night sky, with moons and shooting stars as well. Taika hopped down with a thud, one that resonated through the halls. When he walked into the room, he noticed he could stay standing. odd. As he wandered the room, he noticed it wasn't actually that big. It was fairly small, and when he walked to the center of said room, there was a little box. When Taika poked it, it fell over and broke, revealing the room to be a plain blue like the room he woke up in. Taika frowned, and mumbled to himself "Damnit... What was that thing?"

In any case, Taika made his way back out to the hallway. He began to hear a low noise, but he couldn't exactly pin-point what it was. Taika shrugged, and pressed on wards, only to find another room. This one had no door to begin with. Taika shrugged, and walked in, to see massive behemoths of creatures roaming around. In the sky was some grey-ish lizard, with a long beak and a singular horn on the back of it's head. Another one was a large, four legged creature with 3 horns, two on it's forehead and one on it's nose. It also had a large shield-like plate on the back of it's head.

The Next thing Taika new, he was witnessing that very creature being eaten by a large, bi-pedal behemoth of a creature. It had two stubby arms, and a massive jaw that it was using to rip open the flesh of the 4-legged one. It wasn't pretty. When that monster looked over to Taika, it let out a roar that literally shook the ground, and began to charge towards Taika. Taika could think of only one thing, and that was not disturb Gyuki and run like hell. Luckilly, he was near the door, and ran away as fast as possible. The creature didn't follow him.

When Taika made it to the end of the hallway, he could see a few people, none that he recognized. In any case, he noticed a man running around pressing buttons, and atleast one person on a couch. Odd. In any case, he would yell out "Hey, I uh, broke a thing. It made a room look like it had stars, and moons. Pretty strange if you ask me."


(Those things were Dinosaurs btw)

Alas, the poor mad man had lost his marbles in the collision of various realities, owing to the great excitement he felt by witnessing such an event take place. Perhaps the flow of time had inverted itself and rewritten reality into a less fluid format. Why else would he witness various flawed realities of such nature? Let alone a dimension or timeline in which, rather than a sentient being capable of intelligent communication and the ability to learn through repetition, a waffle was elected as dictator of the world. In that particular dimension, sarcasm was apparently the widest known language in existence, even beyond the planet Kuro had inhabited in his meager lifetime. Although, he would live long enough for anything, considering his death was almost impossible through normal means. In any case, Kuro had dropped the marbles he had been using as dividers for a gelatinous substance in that reality. Before that reality ended, he saw two meteors destroy a star. A thrilling sight, and a good replacement for his marbles. However, the question remained whether this temporal and spatial disturbance was beyond the quantum level, or if it were simple travel. Due to the sight of other realities, Kuro was betting on the former. Simple travel would only reveal other realities if those realities were future possibilities, not past possibilities. Because of this, Kuro was quite confident that this form of time travel was far beyond the storybook method of skipping a few years, or going back a few years.

Kuro smiled at the doctor, sipping his tea, which had miraculously survived the journey through time and space. He had been sitting on a chair, which was now absent. Somehow he had not been summoned on the couch as planned... Somehow, he maintained sitting posture without any support. Calmly, he rose from his position, before laughing. "How interesting this is... I may have to test a few new theories out when I get back." It was rather obvious that the man's nature was not hostile, nor aggressive. He seemed nervous, almost under-confident. In this, Kuro saw the truth. His kidnapper was an ally, for the moment. Whatever he had summoned Kuro for must have been important, for him to have summoned others as well, regardless of who these others were. His mind being in the usual relaxing chaos that consumed his every waking moment, Kuro walked towards the couch, glancing at Dusk, then at Taika, before glancing back down and taking another sip of his tea. "Such an interesting day..." Kuro laughed quietly, questioning whether or not to preform percussive maintenance on the infernal box which seemed to emanate a very annoying grinding sound every few seconds. Better than the clanking, at least.

The blue haired man continued calmly sipping his tea, glancing around every few seconds, taking in the strange blue cube. His infamous eye-tattoo, which was actually his Gravity Conversion Seal, was hidden by the Mask of Blades, although he was simply wearing it because it was more comfortable to him that his natural state, much like how many were comfortable in clothing, yet uncomfortable when naked. The mask was now a part of him, after all. His blue cloak hung at his shoulders, covering his back and arms, while his torso and legs seemed to be covered by some sort of black armor. For some reason, the man also had a sword, quite larger than his own body, on his back, though he seemed to not be bothered by the mass or size of the object. For the moment, he quietly observed the other parties in the room, wondering why so many people were needed, and for what purpose...

Kaigen did not think much of the flashes of a mysterious figure in his head. The guy lost his memory, so mental things of the such did not come across as strange to him, so in turn he did brush it off as of nothing. Boy was that a mistake, or a possible advantage soon after. He felt like his eyes were closed and for a strange reason they would not open, and he could feel his body in a particular motion; unexplainable, he had hopped he did not ascend to an afterlife of the sort. He didn't feel any sort of pain or specific feeling of disturbance - he was under no kind of genjutsu from what he was sensing and it was clear that he was very unclear of what came next. Calming his mind like he always do, he couldn't prepare for what was coming; patiently, all he could do is wait. Another flash wasn't just seen but this time felt, Kaigen afterwards could feel a portal opening up and without hesitation and fear he leaped forward, even knowing he was very unaware of the dangers ahead.


A minute later his feet landed with a small sound of safe landing, with the sound and reality of the portal closing behind him. He didn't have to look behind him, for some strange reason he just felt the portal vanish from his personal space - however that was no longer the issue. The ground - no floor was colored white and hard just like the walls around him. Indicating and giving him the signal that he was now standing in a room, room of what and or where he had no idea. Faical, blinking and showing off a nervous face at his strange arrival and destination, then after not paying much attention to the room he was more interested in the already open door that lead out to the hallway.

Thinking: Great, maybe this is some secret memory defect? I may as well see this through where ever I am.

Turning his body to the right, before anything else he headed out of the room and into this hallway that he didn't have a clue where he was headed. His white boots matching the tile of the nicely decorated hallway, his chin raised up he took his mary time migrating through the hallway not seeing anyone, just identical rooms as if it could be a hospital of the sorts. As he got to the assuming main doors he confidently pushed both of them open with his orange eyes and chakra signature locked on everyone in the room. "Assuming this isn't death, or perhaps a crazy dream, I'm just going to assume someone have a reason for literally summoning me here?" Speaking out to pretty much anyone who can answer. His jounin attire being white, it was all white, but his skin was darker and his orange eyes shined bright as he had a powerful commanding aura - but instead of commanding he was asking very nicely. People be crazy nowadays right? Let the party begin.

Peering, semi-lucid, at the darkening horizon, Aoimara found herself in a disgustingly familiar predicament. She had spent the better half of the afternoon pondering and pacing and killing time, but the facts were laid stark and undeniable in the dying light. There was NOTHING to do. Nothing... Wondering how long she could bear the looming bout of gut wrenching boredom in the sands, she began to rise. Before she got her feet beneath her, however, a strange and blatantly foreign sound began echoing across the expanse of dunes. Jarred out of her dejected fog, she scanned eagerly for the source of welcome novelty. "What do I owe this excitement to?" she wondered. As if in reply, a shape formed on the nearby ground, kicking up some of the cooling dust in an invitingly mysterious way, she felt. Naturally she stepped forward, as it solidified into a box and -oh heaven- a door appeared and swung open. "It's a little small..." she thought, but a sprightly man stepped out as if he had been walking a short distance with a casual stride, and extended his hand. Sealing with certainty the luck in her stars, the man asked just mischievously enough, "Care for an adventure?" She swept past him announcing with fierce gratitude, "You don't know the half..." but paused upon breaching the doors, genuinely surprised for the first time in seasons. "It's bigger on the inside!" she laughed. So far this had already paid off.

Brink would have seemingly been in shock as he would have seemingly fazed through dimensions ending up on a rather interesting train? Or perhaps something else but from the sounds that he could recall it was seemingly that of a train however, there was a man on his far right that he had never seen before giving him a sense that many people would have been seemingly dragged aboard whatever this moving object was and with the ringing of the words that would pass through his ears before he could even react for once he would allow his instincts to subside and allow himself simply to relax and seemingly enjoy the ride for anything was truly better than walking around the sandstorm that he was previously in…

“Well this is a rather shocking turn of events would anyone happen to know why we are here or even who dragged us here to begin with?”

Though brink technically didn’t provide any resistance to the train or the person or thing that would have pulled him into it there was a sense of uneasiness that he couldn’t seemingly shake from himself, also along with the fact that roland could seemingly be sensed all throughout this unknown area made it even more confusing as to what truly was going on and sending his mind in a rather chaotic disarray until his question at hand would have been answered or at least someone else would also speak up about the rather odd circumstances the people at least that he could see where facing… Therefore, brink would simply let out a slight sigh as he would pull a book from his pocket it wasn’t anything rather large or obvious but rather a small book that seemingly fit within his pocket and would have been an old one at that.

Therefore, until he had gotten his explanation or rather after he would have waited a few moments for the people seemingly around him to throw their input into the situation he would open the book seemingly half way through it and would being losing himself within the writing scattered across the pages though keeping his ears wide open just in case something interesting was to have been said and then perhaps he would put down the wonderful book in front of him to listen and join into some conversation to possible pass the time as he would await to arrive at whatever destination this thing was set to arrive at…

Anyone who has not posted will have until 12pm central time to post. If they have not then they will not be in the event and we will continue on with the characters who have posted.

In a sand like environment someone could be seen napping on the ground. Eyes completely, he seemed to bob his head back and forth as if he was listening to a melody. It wasn't long before the figures eyes woke up. He would sit up looking around, it was safe to assume he was looking for the location of whatever he was bobbing his head to. He would continue listening to the melody, he didn't seem to understand where it was coming from. He would stand up as the light gave off a glint of his appearance, fair natural white skin, long black hair, small like shirt that didn't seem to fit him, black like baggy pants and bare feet. He would begin to walk forward, the sound in his head began to lead him somewhere. He would soon hear a voice, it told him the location of the sound.

As he continued through the sandy desert he finally found the source of the music, it was a music box. Perplexed by the object he would look down at it to reach for it. As he did so the music would continue to play as suddenly the sand that he was once standing on began to melt as too did the surroundings, the music would continue as he soon found himself in a room that he was not apart of before. He would look around confused before speaking. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" He would just stand their shocked not sure as to what was to come next.

Kikato would be minding his own business, on a Stroll with Brink to be exact, who knew what they were talking about, cause it doesn't matter, all of a sudden they would be eaten up by this weird thing, and he heard the voice of his student Roland, strange, but he would have just rolled over the back of the couch and began to walk around the place, looking to see at what all he could spot, waiting till the time Roland could explain what was happening

It had been just another regular day for Venus. She had been tanning on one of the small coastal island on the outside of the land of water. Now a girl tanning is not a strange sight, but on such an overcast day it could raise a few eyebrows. Most people did not understand that it was still possible to get a sunburn and tan while it is overcast as UV rays still travel through the flimsy grey clouds that cover the land of mist. If a person payed even close attention they would even seen tiny water droplets hovering around Venus as she was laying out. The water droplets were shaped into then and flimsy disks. The disks were capturing and magnifying the sun in order to assist Venus, though not to the point of starting her on fire or causing her skin to smolder and smoke as that would not provide a good luck for the upcoming summer months. Now just as Venus flipped to her back a dark shadow covered her. She looked up to see just in time to see a floating police box crush down on her. It would turn out to be a not so regular day for Venus after all.

Venus was thrown through the air and landed on a somewhat comfy coach. Now Venus had found herself in many strange places before that she could not explain finding, but this was by far the most sober experience she had in finding one. Taking her sunglasses off and fixing her hair she would look around for any hints of her location or the strange man in the room with her telling her to take a seat. "Well this is certainly the most assertive pick up attempt I've dealt with." She said sarcastically as she placed her sunglasses in the ninja pouches on her hip. She would then take out a pair of jeans and her high heeled sandals. "Hope you don't mind if I change." She said casually not waiting for an answer. Venus discarded her bikini bottom and put on her low ride jeans and sandals. She would take out a small mirror to make sure her bangs weren't fucked up before placing it and her swim suit bottom back into the poach. By this time she was still alone with the sing songy man and would let out a loud yawn. Venus would cross her legs and lean back in the coach, "Care to say where we are going?"

"More than you'd hope I fear" The Doctor quickly remarked as he pulled Dusk aboard as they went on their kidnapping spree from the cosmos. Kurokon would be the next, and for a split second the man showed utter excitement before replacing himself with a calm air. Speaking of air, he promptly sat himself upon it whilst taking a sip from a cup of tea which he miraculous had. The very sight made Roland giggle sub-consciously and The Doctor earned some respect for the seemingly 'mad' scientist.

"Nice sword for a man of science" Roland Ootsutsuki would say above the scent of the tea the masked man was brewing. If Roland was reading the other's soul correctly, they had quite a few things in common, including that dangerous steel rod which held one together. Naturally the fire eating ninja was curious about one who shared interests, even if loosely.

There was time for Shikyo to respond before two familiar faces came rolling into the Tardis at the exact time. Kikato, Roland's Kazekage, was stoically silent as ever whilst Brink posed the question he expected. Roland would give his warning to the two and await to give out more information until the others were gathered.

The next to enter was a girl named Venus, who accused the Doctor of attempting to pick her up something he remembered as a human word for flirting. "Oh my apologies Miss, I simply need the help of some people. It is fine to change, it is a bit of a man party in here isn't it?" By the end the Doctor was talking to himself and on his way for the next person so much so that he missed the last question. Luckily Roland had not, and spoke up from his position behind the couch. "Not yet, but I will when everyone is gathered. I'd rather not start the Doctor on a tangent every time" the last part was whispered as Roland's two mismatched eyes stared at the Doctor with great urgency eager to never start the man on that line of talk again.

The next person to be brought aboard spoke those fatal words the Doctor had heard so many times before, almost instantly he was brought back to the various companions. The memory sparked a chain of faces that made a great wave of melancholy sweep over the Doctor for a second. "Do take a seat Miss, everyone is almost here now" his cheery tone back in place as he motioned towards a couch that until now seemed to have not been there. This was about the time that Kaigen Shikyo entered from the back. His voice was calm and collected yet the words he spoke were made comical because of it.

This caused The Doctor to give out a jubilant laugh "It is neither that nor your, guh-en-jou-tsu as you people refer to that here. I will give out the reason quite soon" this caused the air to clear back to it's natural way of odd quirky, mystery. Of course this mood was shattered yet again when a ninja came in and made a grave announcement.

"Hey, I uh, broke a thing. It made a room look like it had stars, and moons. Pretty strange if you ask me."

Immediately the Doctor's eyes went wide, he rushed to the console and began looking through a series of gears and cogs under the control panel. Roland got the intense feeling of fear and frustration build up within the man, whatever it was he was looking for it was not there. It was about then that Yahiko burst in and began to scream...and that is when shit almost literally hit the fan. The sound of his screaming was wrenched away from the other inhabitants as time stopped.

Everyone there would watch helpless as they were stuck in time, The Doctor meanwhile was not and he was frantically working at the console. It seemed as if it would not be enough however as he got more and more frantic.

"I am so sorry"

((After rping out your interactions on the ship, reacting to what happened and whatnot, you can rp yourself waking up in your character's ideal dimension, describe the environment, the flaura, the animals, your house, and your prized possession. Bear in mind this possession should not be a combat item, think outside the box. After that respond to this))

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roland woke each up shaking them away, and pumping alternatively on their chests and stomachs. Unfortunately he lacked any medical jutsu which would resuscitate a drowning victim. Luckily everyone woke up, and there was no brain damage.

They woke up at the foot of some white marble steps, the small group could look above and see an odd city-scape and odder than that people seemingly floating above it. There was a mix of people, some were like them, two arms, two legs and simply donning scales of bronze, silver or other precious metals. The other group however literally had fins in lieu of legs oddly enough there seemed to be air pockets around major building centers, though a lot of the smaller buildings were under the sea.

After admiring the view each of the members who awoke roughly around the same time would see that they were surrounded. The people here were of the two legged variety and each held some form of weapon, many held glowing weapons. All were heavily armored.

"Who are you, and what is your business in Atlantis?"

Before the words had finished dying Roland would cast a look back at the group as he stood between them and the soldiers, the look he cast would ask them not to do anything hasty.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Below I will have each person and three areas in which I will comment on their post. I will also add in things I liked about them in general as well. I won't be doing this every post but it will happen from time to time.
These areas are;
Creativity
Post Quality(sentences, words used, etc)
Interaction

I will not give them a passing or failing grade or anything like that but I will grade based off curves and what I have seen a writer write before. Thusly I am not really judging just giving each person a feel as to how their post measures up compared to the average writing/rping or even just the group itself. This really does not affect the prize received too much, but consistent lack of trying will. Essentially this is really just suggestions that you may take or leave.

Dusk
Creativity Well you took what was just a rough mention of a bar and breathed some life into it. Would have liked a bit more freak out from your previous established bar patrons but overall quite creative given what you had. Overall Grade ~ B+
Post Quality Environment and Character Detail, Sense other than Sight, Good Sentence, and Spelling Quality, Good Punctuation Overall Grade ~ A
Interaction Responded, and opened up a slight door for more but stopped there. Given that this is the first post and you had jack all to work with, not so bad. Overall Grade ~B-

I in general really enjoy your use of adjectives for more than just concrete things, and more of the feeling or idea sometimes. Oft writers forget the value of an analogy like this.

Taika
Creativity Haha I love the mystery you create with the dinosaurs why did you ruin it with the note at the end? I enjoyed your adventure overall though and found it quite creative. Overall Grade ~ A
Post Quality Environment and Character Detail Good Sentence, and Spelling Quality Overall Grade ~ B-
Interaction Well you opened up quite a good path for me to work with here sooo... Overall Grade ~A

Your over punctuation dragged you down in places, I too have been there before and no doubt would fall the same however lol. You can set up a story well and I do enjoy your wake up sequence, it is extremely realistic imo.

As I said before you made a reference without even knowing it so that is always good, but I did notice you messed with the timeline or waited a very long time and ignored anyone else there. I do this too a lot, it's hard to anticipate how others do so I understand why this was done. Still Taika is set to arrive a bit after Venus.

Anytime science is in a post, I am a happy camper. While I pretty much knew most of this, I had never put it together so thank you for helping me learn a bit.

Within the first moments that he stepped into the blue box, his red eyes scanned the surroundings in what was best described as total awe. The inside was definitely misleading from its outer exterior which proved to him that this was no ninja made construct. As the pondered on the words of the estranged man that had pulled him into this box there was nothing but a smile as he took his place on a nearby empty wall void of all panels but just near one of those holes that had adorned the box itself," Let's just hope its more than enough to last me three lifetimes and then some, My name is Dusk by the way...to what should I call my savior from my conventional life?," providing the eccentric male gave him a name or title he would roll with that all while getting into a comfortable standing position.

There were few thoughts that went through his mind as he idly stood by and watched the doctor for a moment until he had actually noticed two others who had been within the area. One of which, a male, he could feel the most familiar of signatures from. The red almost cat like eyes zeroed in on him for what seemed like only moments before a smile passed onto his face almost as if he had been meeting a long lost sibling," Well i'll be damned...Looks like its meet and greet with the Jinchuriki day," of course he merely offered the male a two fingered wave before slipping his hands into his yukata sleeves and falling into quite the perpetual silence...as if he said anything to begin with. The next he noticed, a small female at least in stature to him at least, sitting on a couch that he had just notice...weird. For only a moment he looked at her before shrugging and lowering his head ever so slightly in an attempt to silence his mind for the insanity that would soon follow.

Even with eyes closed and a clear mind one could feel the presences of the many filling into what he was slowly learning to be a near infinite dimension, even a swordsmen as seemingly dull as him knew about such intricate topics such as this since he had spent most of his meanderings reading and studying different forms of literature and science. Even with the box filling he could feel the adventure swelling with just these few people. The feeling of another Jinchuriki within this small area made him feel like someone was literally creating the Jin meet and greet that he had been thinking about prior, and with this feeling he wondered if the other two had felt the same as he did.

With the conclusion of feeling out the others chakra so to speak he felt it appropriate to speak, his eyes looking towards Kaigen with a less than stoic expression," As you can see you weren't the only one summoned into this...to put it optimistically, this wide bundle of universal goodness and as for the reason none of us know except for the man piloting this box here. I'd wager that if we were to wait we would find out what exactly we are here for," as if his explanation was completely over, he simply shifted perspectives to answer Brinks additional query with a simple extension of his index finger which would tie in with his early answer to the other male.

While it was true that everything had been going somewhat well, it was always known that it only took one little thing to make everything go bad. This catalyst was seemingly missing from this adventure until, yep someone came in screaming that they had broken something, in which case was the missing piece. At that single moment in time, Dusk would open his eyes and stare that the person and sigh," I hope this isn't a ten on the "You just messed up scale"," the area around him felt weird before then. If there was a feeling of when time began to stop around you, it would be best described as moving through a vat of green gelatin and with each step it continued to hold your body in place as if you were never meant to move in the first place. It was in those last moments that his version of time, the life through his eyes began to freeze over.

Darkness became light and light soon became an area in which only Dusk could be truly happy in. A library. An endless sea of bookshelves that lead into three distinct staircases which housed at the top sat a single edo period style castle. Each bookshelf housed a different perspective of a weapon, ideology, science, literature or anything that Dusk had seen or wrote based on his personal views. Within this castle sat books on subjects he had been fond of. The outside of this castle had its own walls, each spanning twenty meters into the sky and the courtyard was something marvelous. Leading up to the main hall on both side side six Sakura trees, each full of purple and blue leaves showing they were in full bloom and a single koi fish pond. These unique black and white fish portrayed the balance of the mind and the harmony of ones soul.

Within the main hall sat Dusk, wearing a tradition shogunate Yukata, its flowing red and black colors fitting his body as if he was royalty. His head sat amidst his right fist as he read through a book, this book had no title yet had a single picture of a small child. The book itself had been rather small enough to fit in the palm of an adults hand, yet the pages had been filled with enough words to fill three dictionaries. If there was one thing that Dusk loved to read, it was about his own life. The autobiography of his early years and his travels, the good and the bad with Matatabi, and the knowledge in which he had gained since then.

It was as if he was content with knowledge and nature, but he was not only in his own ideal world. The one who had been with him since birth and was his partner until he died, Matatabi, strolled into the room but not in the form of a cat, instead in the form of a Kimono clad woman. The yellow and green eyes stared at the young male as he read, the red eyes meeting his partner with a smile," It is fitting for one as knowledgeable as you and one who seeks knowledge like me. It is one thing about this world I will always love...The ability to learn from the wisdom of our ancestors, and the wisdom we can leave behind now," a quizzical notion which made the bijuu chuckle. While she didn't answer to him, it was more that the two were sharing a bonding moment. Reaching into his sleeve he would pull out a pipe, this pipe had been around three meters long with a single emblem etched into the bowl and was crafted out of brass for the metal parts and bamboo. A Kiseru pipe that once belonged to his father until he had left to join the ninja world in search of a greater knowledge. This pipe had been given to his son in hopes that he would become stronger not only in mind than his father but also wisdom and spirit.

There was a single pinch of tobacco inside of it as he lit the pipe and took a single hit from it, the memory of the last time he had shared a moment with his father. The memories flooding into his eyesight as the smoke slowly flowed from his mouth and nose before the world before him went into darkness. Light had begotten darkness and now darkness would begot light as Dusk woke up, the first of the group after Roland to gain consciousnesses," Shit...What just happened, i went from a rather happy moment to...wherever we are," the red eyes began to instantly observe his surroundings before smiling with excitement. The fact that these people had no chakra or what he felt was no chakra, he wondered if it was a form of suppression or did they not have what he and the others possessed?

The setting of the marble structure and the structure of the buildings themselves complied with the floating devices created a sensation of scientific excitement flow through his mind. Even the people, who some looked like him and the others like some fish version of humans had created the assumption of where he was until he had noticed something mighty peculiar, they were surrounded. Now putting the pieces that he was in a place he had no business he soon simply sat his hands to his side, away from both his swords and said nothing.

The male would begin to look around the room once more before yelling again, this time it was rather loud.  Before long he would cease to do so, what was the point it's not as if anyone could hear him. He would look around, it was pitch black, oddly enough it seemed that the corridors of the area could go on forever. He couldn't see anything what so ever, all he thought about was the time when he first was walking amongst the world in his first life, during that time all he knew was walk, he had not known the term of eating or drinking but that was when he walked the world of darkness. As he walked down the endless corridors the darkness reminded him of those days walking barefooted for days without  food or water, all he knew was walk to survive. Eventually he would make it village hidden in the sand.  It was his first appearance there that the village hated him at first, sought to kill him even, then the Kazekage at that point taught him how to live and even how to kill, telling him that he would be a weapon of war.  The male would think about the lessons he had, being taught war was great and that's all he should dream for.  As he thought about it he would whisper the words under his own breath. "War. . ." As he spoke these words the dark eternal walkway would begin to shatter before his eyes.

I was as if it reacted to his words of war. The darkness would begin to crack and fade, as it faded it left behind an open area, an area full of dead bodies and fire. The males eyes would widen, what was he looking at? Before he knew it he began to grin from ear to ear before laughing.  He would then stop laughing abruptly to see what caused this destruction. He would continue to walk forward, at each step he would look left and right. As he would look around he would see impaled bodies, many of different ages.  Many of different genders as well.  He would continue grinning as he would look at the mutilated bodies just brutally ripped apart from their flesh and bone, as if cleaved by a blade of some sort.  The one that caught his eye the most was woman with eight swords piercing through her shoulders, chest, and head as if skewered. He would laugh as he began to walk up to her, he would then catch a glimpse of something amusing to him, her stomach was rather large for a woman of her size, it was round too.  It wasn't long before the male would laugh even more before speaking. "Ha. .. Hahaha. . .The bitch was pregnant, she fought for her life and died, the bitch died. . .died. . .DIED AHAHAHA. . ."

He would stand there looking at her, he would walk over to the pregnant woman who was dead, before stopping at the body staring at, bare feet touching the pool of her blood.  He would smile ear to ear as he began to remove the blades skewering her body except for the one that kept her sitting up in place.  He would grasp two blades in his hand before slicing her like a maniac laughing. "DEAD DEAD DEAD YOU DIED. . .DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD AHAHAHA YOU STUPID BITCH YOU DIED!" He would smile even more as he hacked off her limbs one by one before throwing one sword to the right piercing someone laying on the ground in the skull.  He would continue to slice her to pieces before the pool of blood began to fill up to his ankles.  He would smile before it quickly faded. "Tsk. . .BORING lets find more dead bodies. . .WAR IS GREAT!" He would begin to turn around walking from the now hacked and mutilated body.  As he began to walk away the blood on his bare feet would trail with him.  He began to walk more forward as he would still see dead bodies left and right, flames trailing around burned up bodies even some looked fried from electrocution. He would just laugh more and more, he stopped walking he began running, the blood from his feet before would soon follow behind.  He would continue running, this was a battle field, this was what he was told was what he was born for.  War, this was war, he wanted more of it, he had a huge thirst for it.

 It wasn't long before he found himself in front of a building, leading up to the building were steps. The steps too were coated in red, he would grin even more, what awaited him in this building. He would begin to walk up the steps as he began to speak to himself. "This is perfect, war. . .I finally get to see war. . .Kazekage, old man I saw war. . .you old bastard I saw what you could not. . .WAR ahahah WAR!" He would begin laughing as he stood at the doors of the building.  He would sigh before smile pulling his arm back and thrusting it forward causing his fist to connect into the wooden structure blowing it off it's hinges causing it to slide on the ground. Suddenly the ground as coating in red sand.  The door would be swallowed up by the sand as it slid through. He would cock his head to the side as his smile began to fade, his eyes widened as he took a closer look at the area.  He was so fixated on the blood and the bodies that he didn't think of where he was.  The area was coated in sand, the people skewered were villagers hidden in the sand and the red sand was caused from the blood.  Village hidden in the sand was attacked. His facial expression began to increase back into a smile before he began laughing.  "Ahahah, who was made a fool now LORD KAZEKAGE! AHAHA" He began to walk forward as his bare feet began to sink into the sand he would laugh to himself.

 He was at the gates of the village hidden in sand.  He would walk forward as the sun shined on the red sand.  The heat waves would be unbearable but the male continued to walk forward he would smile even more as he saw sand villagers even villagers from another village dead.  He would continue laughing walking forward, he would abruptly stop as he saw something that made him smile even more.  The Kazekage hat lay on the sand coated in blood.  On top of the symbol that would be the Kanji for wind was the color of red from blood, blood would continuously drop onto the hat.  This would catch his interest he would look up as he saw a body pinned to the building.  In each hand a kunai pierced through his palms. Through his gut was a sword pierced through directly into the building. The blade coated in the mans blood, the blood would drip off the blade as it would run down from the males gut.  The blood would drop and connect onto the hat making a very faint sound of blood dropping.  Behind the man sand would pour out from behind him pouring onto the ground, the male who was looking at this sight would just smile laughing even more before pointing his index finger.  "Oh you have got to be kidding me! The great Kazekage is dead? The man who lives to serve his village died and didn't protect it?! ahaha what a laugh, this is too good. If I met the man who did this I would give him my approval before taking off his head!"

 He would laugh again as he began to walk up to the hat on the ground. He would bend over before lifting up the hat, blood would run down from the hat onto his hand, he would smile as he looked closely at the hat staring at the blood.  He would then lift the hat up high before placing it onto his head.  The blood would drip from the rim of the hat as he would just smile.  He would look around the area, the area full of death and destruction. He was witnessing war.  He loved every bit of it.  He began to walk underneath the pierced body of the man formally known as the Kazekage.  As he walked underneath the former Kazekage's hat worn by the male who was now walking would be coated in more blood.  He would then punch through the door of the building the man who was pierced was now attached to.  As the male began to walk into the building the reality began to fade. The male's eyes would widen as the room became a black void again, the hat he once wore for little time too faded. He was back in the dark room that he started in.  In his head again he heard the music that lead him to be trapped in this room.  The music seemed so familiar to him but what was the significance.  As he walked through the dark void it eventually led to light.  The light would shine onto his face, he would look left to right, the scene of war was gone.

How could this be, was what he witnessed a lie. . .a rouse. . .a dream? He would begin to walk closer to the light as he then began to see others in the room he was walking towards.  He saw two people who seemed to be awake.  He would look around before sighing with aggravation. What he saw was so real, now where the hell was he.  It made no sense, where the hell is he.  Who the hell were the people before him, though it wouldn't stop him from thinking out loud for everyone to hear. "WHERE THE HELL AM I AND WHO THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS?!" He would look at them while pointing his index finger at them awaiting their response and possible reaction.  The thought of that war scene was so vivid and clear, it looked so real.  Even at the moment he felt he was still wearing the dead Kazekage's hat.  The hat that he seemed to want for whatever reason, even to him it was unknown.  He was pissed off he was tricked, he even more pissed off it was a lie, his feet weren't coated in the blood, neither were his hands.  It was a disappointment to him.  The scene of war. . .it was all just a dream. . .yet still the music from that music box would be stuck in his head, a melody that led him to war.

Kuro was quiet, for the moment. The ever escalating feeling of power inside the room, courtesy of the various individuals occupying the space, was pressing down on him, not in a painful way of course. His own chakra was a match for any of these people. No, it was the fact that he disliked being in crowded places. He preferred solitude over populated conversations. The sheer number of people was becoming slightly annoying, with the pressure getting to him more and more each second. Although he was usually a very lively man, crowds caused him to become far quieter, as well as more analytical. Perhaps it was the awkwardness, and his desire to avoid it, but his emotions seemed to become dormant as the aura of oppression in the room grew. In response, Kuro's mind began to race, deciding on many things for each person who had entered, ranging from emotional range, to threat potential. It was an age old habit, stemming from his years of experimentation. His thoughts were not always accurate, but they reflected his emotions and how he generally felt about people.

He was interrupted from his thoughts by Roland's words, odd as they may be. "Well, thanks. I enjoy using larger swords, and this one was too perfect to pass up." Kuro smiled, a strange smile, with his eyes narrowed, and his lips closed. It made him look more mischievous than normal, but his intentions were to appear less hostile. He had never been good with facial expressions...

Had he been anyone else, he would have commented on the fact that the 'box', as the others seemed to call it, even if only in their heads, was bigger on the inside than the outside. To him, though, it was not too surprising. He had been studying dimensional physics for years now, and such an event was easy to explain, provided the listener had a good mental image of the subject. Otherwise, it would be troublesome. For one, it was likely the room was designed to push, ever so slightly, the objects entering in a way as to separate their fourth dimensional plane from the normal. After that, it no longer broke physics for the room to be larger on the inside than the outside, it was simply a matter of perspective and understanding of dimensional separation. It wasnt a branch of physics most got into, but Kuro found it interesting. Taking a moment to glance around, Kuro began his analysis of the specific beings before him.

The first, obviously the doctor, was the most interesting, in his mind. He appeared flustered and excited, yet had not revealed the cause. He also had the power to operate a multi-dimensional transferring object which also possibly affected time itself. That in of itself was impressive, and dangerous. Kuro of all people knew how powerful that made this being. To travel to and fro, ignoring the laws of physics, bypassing time itself was not a simple task for normal men. He also seemed rather jovial, and apparently loved to joke around. He was... different, to say the least. More than that, Kuro felt a distinct power from the man, a feeling he only felt in himself as of late. The burden, or gift, of immortality. To Kuro, it was a gift. He knew well enough how to give others the same immortality, and he was young enough to live normally. Kuro was curious whether or not this 'Doctor' viewed it as a gift or a curse...

'Threat level, quite literally infinite. Possibility of hostility, none.' If this doctor wanted him dead, he wouldnt have a chance to survive, given that this doctor apparently operated outside the bounds of time itself.

Next was a man who had come before him, Dusk. Kuro was rather amused by the man, and his strange entrance. The man was also a lover of comedy, obviously, as well as a very laid back person in general, judging from the words he uttered as he appeared in the room. The deviation between him and a classic joker was the power rolling off of him. Not enough to put any sense of fear into Kuro, nor automatic respect or admiration, but enough to be worthy of note. The man would be a great ally, or an annoying enemy. Kuro decided to learn more of this specific individual at a later date.

'Threat level, six. Possibility of hostility, twenty percent.'

Moving on, he noted the two who apparently knew Roland, as the look Roland gave them signified former knowledge of these individuals. The first, Brink, was at first appearance, lazy. The truth was shown as he moved, however. Like all trained ninja, he gave of an aura of power and skill, capable of many deeds Kuro may even find impressive. He did not reveal much about himself at all, though, so Kuro would have to wait till later to find out more.

'Threat level, six. Possibility of hostility, forty percent.'

The next person was hardly even worth noting by first appearance. However, the aura of power Kikato gave off was similar in strength to Kuro's, which was impressive. It was the lackluster entrance and lack of words that made him seem boring, though. Overall, Kuro did not find himself interested in this man in the least.

'Threat level, five. Possibility of hostility, fifty percent.'

A moment passed without anyone else entering the room, and Kuro focused on Roland himself. The man was interesting, and Kuro felt he would get along with him rather well. He seemed to enjoy science, and knew that Kuro did as well, not to mention he had personal connections, or at least Kuro assumed he did, with the Doctor. That alone was worth investigating. He also seemed amused by the large sword Kuro carried on his back, which was odd. Given the sheer variety of ninja weapons, his Dragonslayer weapon didnt seem too different. Either way, the man was definitely worth figuring out.

'Threat level, nine. Possibility of hostility, fifteen percent.' The elevated threat was due to his own power matching Kuro's, as well as his connections with others in the room. A fight with him would not be a fight worth having, at the moment. Perhaps later he would seek this being out and challenge him to a spar.

Right as Kuro finished that line of thought, a scantily clad woman appeared, in a bikini of all things. She then proceeded to remove said bikini with no regard for the men in the room. Needless to say, Kuro did not look away. In any case, the reality of her power was shown by that statement. She held no fear of those in this room, and had little shame either. Then again, looking again, Kuro realized she had nothing to be ashamed about.

'Threat level, seven. Possibility of hostility, eighty six percent.'

The next person to appear was another woman, this one far more jubilant than the others. Kuro smiled at her enthusiasm, remembering countless times he had been struck by wonder and acted similarly. While she had proven herself more emotional than most in the room, she also proved she cared little of what they thought of her, which was a boost in his book. Lord knows he hated conformity.

'Threat level, three. Possibility of hostility, none.' Still, he had to admit she had done the most to earn his respect, aside from the Doctor, and perhaps Roland.

The next person to enter threw off Kuro's train of thought entirely, shattering his emotionless mask like a piece of glass shoved into a blender.

'No...' It shouldnt be possible. The eyes, the aura, the voice, everything. Kuro knew better though, having seen a man who looked very close to himself once. Even so, it was unlikely he would just run into a man looking exactly like his brother. He supposed it was possible, but thoughts continued to race through his mind, his eyes seeming more active and focused than before. 'Its possible, but unlikely... The number of bodies I found at the Shikyo compound were equal to our total members. Its possible that Kaigen killed the man before escaping. The bodies were too burnt and decompose to recognize when I finally arrived, so it may just be him. If it is... he obviously doesnt recognize me. Or maybe he blames me for what happened, and is ignoring me, recognizing that the Doctor wouldnt allow direct confrontations in his domain... Threat level, five. Possibility of hostility, ninety five percent.'

There was an underlying sadness in Kuro's expression now, though one would be hard pressed to recognize it as that. It seemed far more that he was simply exhausted than depressed. His facial expressions were often hard to read, due to how little he showed them, but anyone who could see beneath the usually emotionless facade he kept up would see quite easily just how seeing his brother made him feel. Even though he was his brother, Kuro still had to process him as a threat, for the potential was there. If Kaigen HAD lost his memory, then he was almost no threat at all, unless it was selective amnesia rather than full amnesia.

Kuro was broken from his thoughts as a man burst into the room claiming to have broken something. The Doctor seemed to become worried, which was worrying by itself, but Kuro felt... something. It was an indescribable feeling, but it was something Kuro had felt only once before.

"On a scale of a flea bite to juggling flaming chainsaws with your feet, how dangerous is this situation?" Kuro mused out loud. Perhaps it was the fact that he never feared death, or perhaps it was the fact that he was mostly immortal, but Kuro did not feel an ounce of fear at the moment. His thoughts continued, until a sudden darkness enveloped him.
_____________________________________________________________________
Kuro's eyes shot open, as his body shot into an upright position. Taking a glance around, he noticed his location. Home. Not just any home, but one he had designed in his head years ago, with escapes and secret passages everywhere, both for genuine escapes, and amusement. He was laying in a chair, a recliner to be exact. He stood up, walking around the room for a moment. It was a beautiful place, with gothic architecture and modern decor. A lovely home, but...

Two blurs shot through the room, hugging onto his legs. Kuro laughed and looked downward, seeing his two children, both around the age of eight, laughing and smiling at him. One was a boy, with pure white hair, obviously inheriting the hair he had before his experiments. The other, was a girl, a bit taller than the boy, amusingly. Boys in his family had always physically matured later than the girls. It had taken him until he was twenty to break 5'8", after all. Even so, the females in his family rarely got past 5'8", while the males always broke six foot. It was only the fact that the two were HIS kids that kept his instincts from overcoming him.

The two had wonderful smiles, very happy to be in this home, with their family. Kuro grinned. "Alright you two, go play outside." He chuckled as the two bolted towards the outdoors. Kuro glanced outdoors, seeing several neighbors wave towards him happily. He smiled as he waved back, noticing the yard seemed to be shared with all the neighbors, as it had a park, where several kids, including his own, were playing. He shook his head lightly as the kids began to play some game or another with the neighborhood children. His own kids were expected to become ninja on par with himself, in his prime, and they were showing it with how easily they avoided the other kids, who were also training to become ninja. It was even more impressive given that they were the youngest out there.

Kuro finally noticed a particular smell, one he had come to love years ago. Bacon. He had always loved the food, although he had stopped eating a few years ago during the Great Pig Famine, which had been caused by the sandwich worshipers. He smiled once more, heading towards the kitchen.

It was only in there that he saw one of the most perfect things he ever had. A woman of average height, enough to reach his shoulders at least, wearing yoga pants and a tank top, cooking over the stove. He had never seen a woman like this, with her silky hair reaching to hear upper back, her smile being small, but the most emotion filled smile he had ever seen. None of that mattered usually, he had seen beautiful women come and go, so seeing a beautiful woman was no real change from the norm. The thing that made him feel different was the way she looked at him. The incredible, silent statement which she showed only through her eyes. That possessive nature, the way she looked like he wasnt a monster, but was hers. It was almost indescribable, the sheer intensity of that look. Not a word was spoken for a good minute, but Kuro's eyes glanced downward at her. Aside from the tank top and yoga pants, the only thing she was wearing was a cross necklace, one Kuro knew well. It was one his mother had given him on one of his earliest birthdays. When she had given it to him, she had said that it was only given to someone who the previous owner loved deeply.

In this moment of pure bliss, the image before Kuro shattered like glass.
_________________________________________________________
Kuro leaned upward and let out a small scream of anger, right as Roland went to touch his chest for resuscitation. Kuro gnashed his teeth in anger and denial. He wanted power, not family! He knew this to be true, and yet... doubts were creeping into his mind. Power was fine, but what was the point if he was simply alone for eternity?

Kuro stood up, staring at the... fishmen? Whatever they were. Apparently the group had been transported to a new location, one which the fishman referred to as "Atlantis". It sounded familiar, but Kuro could not remember where he had heard this name before. "We mean no harm." He spoke calmly, answering the fishman. Hopefully no one would do anything stupid. Seeing as a certain Pain in the ass was not around, it was unlikely anyone would be so stupid as to attack an unknown entity in an unknown location. Looking back at the group, Kuro wondered briefly if he was wrong...

Brink would take a moment to take in all the chaos that would be transpiring from all around the area around him, though none of it truly was dangerous or any of their actions thus far proving to be that of any worthy note the levels of power and the number of tailed beast was enough to put brink on a rather annoying level of alert. Though he felt no sense of immediate need to listen or even entertain any of the people that would have feel into the seeming dimension after him and kikato he would have glazed around the room as he would have shifted to another side of the couch before he would make a mental note of everyone that would have occupied the space that they were in, eight men… and two women of course it seemed that not many of the opposite gender would have seemingly selected for whatever it was that they were taking part in….
‘The level of power in this room is rather noteworthy though the carriers of this power seemingly worthless…’

Though brink would mean this in a rather annoyed manner rather than trying to insult anyone he couldn’t help but feel a sense of a rather anxious aura arising from his body while he would watch the people interact with one another not many being worthy of talking about though seemingly two would catch his eye rather immediately simply for the power they would seemingly hold that being a man with a tattoo on his face and rather odd blue hair and another  seemingly causing the others façade to disappear completely which should warrant enough concern from the others if they would take even the slight fraction of a moment to realize that of which was transpiring, though that was not of his concern he would simply make note of the dark skin toned man with familiar white hair to his own.

However, his thoughts would have been interrupted by someone seemingly causing an even greater source of disaster by having come into the dimension and seemingly broke something of rather interesting importance for in the mere moments that it would take for him to seemingly be thrown into yet another state of disarray and confusion he would have a darkness shroud him and seemingly he would awake in what some may call a paradise but to him it was a simple reminder as to why he would have to become stronger and this would be what would be his true motivation once he would awake to prove himself to the people that he would seemingly be grouped with for the time being…
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Akarui would awake seemingly in a field of crimson Spider lily’s under a tattered and falling glass sky as the crashing noise would awaken him his vision blurry, and his mind clouded as one piece would seemingly fall the reflection seen would send Akarui’s usual calm nature into a frenzy for what was she doing here of all people…. He had watch her fall and her crimson blood paint the walls of his home all those years ago yet her she was once again seemingly the only light in the field of his sins the seemingly crimson flowers resting underneath her feet turning into a cleansing white cloud of hope as her voice would ring out to him…

“How many days have passed like this?
The city, the crowd is fading, moving on.
I sometimes have wondered-where you've gone?
I had this dream so many times.
The moments we've spent have passed and gone away.
Could there be an end to this-
What I'm feeling deep inside?
You know there's no looking back…”

As her words would echo through the domain the white flowers would seemingly be cast into the wind wiping off the black blood running down Akarui’s cheek as his kakugan would have seemingly be activated at the sight of his mother once again before him… Her bright smile throwing him into an emotional tormial as to whether to simply destroy this façade or wallow in the satisfaction of seeing her yet again…

“Mother is that truly you… Could it truly be you before me yet again…?”

As the man would step through the falling glass he would seemingly be cut over and over again as he would reach out to the women in hope for some embrace from her in a sense to finally have closure with the sin’s that rested behind his eyes… Though all he would be meet with was yet another seemingly pattern of words as the lilies underneath his feet would be turning black with every step as he would draw closer to the women and his shackles of reality seemingly coming to light as the chair he was forced upon being formed behind him as he would have his chains seemingly on his wrist yet again though in the haze of his vision he would have not seen them emerge…

“The mystery of it I recall.
Some believe the truth will change the way we fall.
I didn't want to hurt you, hope you know.
Empty promises; shattered dreams, of love.

Sometimes I wonder what's beyond.
I've tried many times to make it up to you.
Can somebody tell me what to?
Thought we're meant to be-
There's no going back.

Time, has already come.
Sun is gone, and no more shadows.
Can't give up-I know.….”

With that seemingly she would shatter out of reality just before his fingers could reach her face and the only thing he could feel once more was a dropping tear of blood that would have fallen from her face as he would have seemingly reached her being pulled back yet again into reality as he would mutter seemingly the ending to what she had been singing to him the entire time he would have struggled to reach her…

“And this life, goes on-i'll be strong,

I'll be strong, 'till I see the end.

Glassy sky, above.

As long as I survive-

You will be part of me.

Glassy sky, the cold

The broken pieces of me.

Glassy Sky, above, covers over me…..”

With this Brink would seemingly awaken with Yamato on his right side with his hand on it as he could feel Roland pressing onto his chest seemingly to awaken him and before he could do anything drastic he would have been stopped by the familiar face swiftly wiping away the black tear that seemingly would have formed in reality so that only Roland if he was paying enough attention would have noticed before its existence would have faded and all that was left behind would be his cold emotionless face as he would stand to his face and take in his surrounding of the area seemingly known as Atlantis…. Where they seemingly underwater now? How could they possibly be breathing or even have awoken in this mysterious and unknown land, however, for the moment that would be the last thing on his mind and he would simply stand and would allow himself to say one last thing to the men standing in front of him other than Roland with their weapons pointed at them with all the possible hostility within their eyes brink would only let his hand rest on his blade known as the demon sword yamato resting on his right hip as his calm voice would ring out…

“I have no explanation as to why we are here but I can tell you this… I mean you no hostility.”

With this brinks hazel eyes would be to their normal state none of his secrets quite yet being exposed but his level of excitement and optimism seemingly going further into the sky’s or rather sea as he would admire is new found location not truly taking much time to take it all in as his eyes would slightly drift behind him to see how everyone else would have reacted to their current situation…

((OOC: Play the last song as you finish the last paragraph.))

Taika watched as the strange man's eye's widened. He must have broken something important, as he ran over to some...buttoney thing. He had no idea what it was, but he didn't care, since someone ran in yelling in his ear. Was the ear thing on purpose? Probably not, but it still hurt pretty bad.

Than things went black.

...
...

When Taika came-to, he was in a large field, tall grass as far as the eye can see. When he focused in on the grass, it turned out it was actually wheat. Odd, but not un-welcomed. Well, as wheat was all he could see in one direction, he decided to turn around, see if he could see any thing new. To his surprise, there was something. It looked like a wooden cabin, probably because that's what it was.

Taika slowly made his way over to the cabin, wary, and not sure of what might be in there. Right when he was about to open the door... His father opened it. Taika raised an eyebrow, and asked "Dad... how did you get here? Where are we?" His father only smiled, and patted his head, and replied "That doesn't really matter. Come on in, your mothers waiting."

What


That was the only that ran through his mind. He almost ran inside, and when he did... there she was. It was her. Taika fell to his knees, tears running down his cheeks as he saw his mother. She was finally back home. That's all that matters right now. It's been so many years... and she finally came back. When his mom looked over to him, she smiled, and said "Hello, Taika. It's been awhile~" Taika couldn't believe it. This was amazing! He didn't believe that his mother of all people was here!

"M-Mom!" Taika yelled, as he ran as fast as he could to the table, and literally tackling her off of the chair. As he cried, being overwhelmed with joy. He could hear his father laughing, as well as his mother, who was rubbing his head. More foot steps could be heard, and when Taika looked up, in his view, was a tall black man with some tatoo's on his face. He grinned, and waved, saying "Hey Kid."

That Voice.

"G-Gyuki!?" Things were still making no sense, but he was alive and with his family, and best friend. Everything was right in the world, and if it was a dream... well.... Taika didn't want to be woken up...
...
...

Taika felt himself being shaken, slowly sitting up. It seemed he had fallen asleep. He couldn't remember exactly what happened, but when he thought of his dream... a pang of sorrow resonated through him. It was only a dream. 
Well, he would have to get over it for now, maybe think about it later. 

As Taika stood up, he looked around in awe, and couldn't help but wonder; where the hell are they? They certainly weren't in cansa- Konohagakure anymore. So, where were the- 

"Who are you, and what is your business in Atlantis?"


Well that answered that question. Atlantis, huh... Taika had never heard of it, though if he read more books he might have. The only book he really looks at on a regular basis would be the Bingo Book, and even then that didn't really matter as of now. Either way, he caught the glance that... whoever he was gave, as he looked around at the people here. They wheren't exactly those fish people, by they looked scary enough. So, he would shift into position to ready himself for combat if need be, but made it look nonchalant enough to not agro them.

He just hopped he didn't need to fight, and was lucky that if they took his gear, he could FTG to it since he had his seal on all of his gear.

Day warning, will be posting tonight or tomorrow after work.

Anyone who has not posted by then will have their character stay unconscious.

Aoimara still had no interest in dampening her spirits and slowing down the lucky roll she seemed to be on tonight. Pacing to and fro between the mysterious flashing and whirring things in the room around her, she fiercely battled the urge to touch EVERYTHING. It was all just so novel, like being inside a giant battle puppet.  ... ... "Oh, that's a killer idea!!!!" she abruptly thought aloud "I'll have to remember that!" the gleam still in her eye she pivoted again to examine the next wall of the space and...

"WHAAA? This place... this place is full of weird looking people!!" she tactfully sputtered. Widening her smile harder, hoping for a super friendly face, she waved to the couch full of oddballs and made a small hopefully super polite curtseying gesture. "What an exciting place to meet confused looking strangers! What are YOU guys doing here?? I hope you're all as interesting as this place is, or your eccentric looking clothes would sure be a let-down."

Spying the center column of the illogical room, however, she completely dropped her efforts to be polite and instead walked wordlessly towards the beauteous thing in the center that seemed somehow to be working very hard, groaning and grinding mechanically. Not realizing she was still waving in what now looked to be a rather dismissive way, she drew close to the column of light tirelessly keeping it's rhythm. Like a gear box? Or... a heart? The mesmerizing push-pull, push-pull sound continued to draw her to the center of the room. No puppet would have something like this in it, right? It didn't make any sense, but the vital spirit she was now coming to realize oozed from the very room itself, and the mysterious kidnapper hero, could mean nothing else. And perhaps that would explain the movement beneath us all...we do seem to be going SOMEWHERE incredibly fast. "Say... this might sound stupid but... is this thing alive?" she asked the kidnapper hero while peering suspiciously at the pulsing light.

Out of the corner of her eye, breaking her curious stupor, a man walked into the room with a shell shocked demeanor. He said... wait WHAT? HAH! He said he broke something, which of course was a huge relief to Aoimara, who generally exclusively reserved the distinction of 'first one to break something' or 'first one to say oops'. Then, however, she noticed the kidnapper hero's response to this - he seemed immediately to jump out of his skin, and began frantically playing with everything she had so fortuitously resisted meddling with earlier. Maybe this wasn't good...

Adrenaline kicking in, she spun habitually to look behind her left hip for her faithful hound Rosco, only now realizing he hadn't been with her when she jumped aboard. Her heart skipped a beat as she smacked her forehead and wondered what he would think of his absent minded partner after this sudden disappearance. Conjuring a mental image of his cool, collected face, Aoi settled down and reminded herself Rosco had been her loyal friend long enough to fully expect this kind of thing.

But things here still seemed to be going downhill... She crouched for balance and surveyed the room carefully, but the sound of another stranger screaming was curiously strangled away preceding a most uncomfortable feeling of being suspended in pudding, and the complete silence of the other strangers. Prepping to hop quickly to her feet, Aoi found she couldn't so much as twitch a calf. *gulp.* Only the kidnapper hero kept swooshing about the place, so she cheered him on with her eyes (hoping such a thing could be helpful in some way) and kept trying different things to move her body. Now she was almost glad old Rosco wasn't here. He never appreciates interesting things like this... her thoughts faded from flittering ideas to grey mist to a black shroud that took her under.



"Bu-GAHHHH!!!!" Awakening with a spastic jolt like someone escaping sleep paralysis in a nightmare, Aoimara sat up jerkily and sternly but sleepily looked around for answers to this sudden bolt of consciousness. Thinking back, the last thing she remembered... Ah!! The kidnapper hero and his ... ... puppet box? We're going with puppet box, she nodded to herself, standing up and throwing her weight back to snap her spine crunchily into place. But it didn't crunch. "What... what a weird place..." she thought as she took in the sights around her. "I hope I get to stay..."

Black clouds smelling of electricity lazily drifted across the cool grey sand, a striking contrast against the azure blue sky. There seemed to be no pattern to their movements, however, as each appeared to be wandering according to it's own designs. Their sprawling shadows eased over electric green tufts of artificial grass poking out from behind the scattered rocks of varying bright swirling patterns. "Someone else has a fondness for painting rocks, I see?" she mused. "And what's with the animals here?" A vermillion tarantula was skittering towards her, something she had truly never seen before in her sands. Aoi bent to look closer as he passed beneath her legs, standing back up abruptly and waving her arms around above it *very* seriously. "A puppet?? He's a puppet! Where are your strings, who's controlling you??" she gushed to the empty air.

Finding a slim line of energy, she tugged gently on it and the sheen led straight up into the sky. "It's the clouds! Marvelous! Somehow those clouds are keeping grip on these strings and..." she stopped and hastily produced a small pin out of the folds of her plain robe, bringing it close to the infinitesimal wire. The thread bent almost imperceptibly. "Bingo. What a strange power to see in a place like this... I wonder!" she took off towards the largest cloud she could see. Abandoning her shoes and enjoying the odd chill of the dark sand between her toes, she streaked across the expansive landscape. *(not literally streaking, only the shoes came off, people.)*

Drinking in the charged air, she splashed the weighty sand in a crescent in front of both her feet as she slid to a stop beneath the big cloud. Dropping her eyes in absolute reverence, she wondered where on earth she could be as a great desert eagle many times her size swooped overhead, following - or perhaps dictating? - the dark clouds movements. A true sky warrior, no doubt. The joints and lack of life force clearly signified the true nature of the puppet, and yet it seemed somehow so alive, and the work that must have gone into such a huge and incredibly true-to-life creation gave her pause. What a beautiful anim.. machine? Whatever, what a beautiful, truly monstrous thing. "Perhaps I died, and now I am in heaven for all the excitement I brought to the world?" she sagely nodded.

A familiar footfall caused Aoimara to spin so abruptly she fell over, saving herself from the leaping form of her companion Rosco. "Oh, thank the gods, I'm glad you're here to see this place buddy!! Nobody but you and Ferro'za ever seem to have any fun with me anyway." She spit absentmindedly onto a nearby shock of fake grass. "At least I have you, my takara." Gripping his thick wiry fur and sighing into his familiar muscular neck, Aoi looked around some more. "You may not be a desert warrior like the scorpion or the lizards, but the forest warriors must be very honorable indeed if creatures like you come from there. This is no place I've ever been, either, or heard of... But now that I understand this place... I'm almost frustrated." she confessed to her companion. "I hate when things are so simple, although, this does give me some ideas for the next dry spell of entertainment we go through." Rosco chuffed resignedly in reply. "Hah! Not all my ideas get us in trouble, come on boy!" she laughed. "Hey, don't push on my chest so hard, you're hurting me you clumsy old dog! Haha. No... really.... Oi Rosco! Enough! HEY!"



"HEY YOU STUBBORN ASSHOLE I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH!!!" Aoimara sat up spastically for the second time and looked around in thorough shock. A beautiful city with an old world feel had replaced the dark sands and mysteriously vibrant air. Looking further and clearing the cobwebs from her brain, Aoi set eyes on a stunning creature that appeared to be part aquatic warrior and part human. Her eyes glittered and she sprang to her feet. "Oh, mighty and beautiful warriors, please, where are we? I have never seen anyone so captivating... Was your mother a sea creature, or perhaps, your father? Maybe your uncle was a fish?" she trailed off, pondering to herself how one could attain the traits of a wild animal for their own. But she was so unfamiliar with the water warriors, so unlike the sand warriors she modeled her drawings and creations from. Water creatures are so soft, and vulnerable, any way you look at it... she shook her head. What an odd place to choose an animal power from. The desert creatures were armored and ferocious, adaptable and quick on their feet. What merit do water warriors even have? Still... to actually be a part of the magical battle of nature... she turned her unbridled joy back towards the sea-person, awaiting some response.

"Naturally, it has an odd almost other wordly quality to it. You have quite the eye for such things I'd imagine" Roland replied to Kuro. It was all he had time to say before a fresh distraction ripped his attention away as it seemed to do this entire time. Roland noticed another of blue hair enter, this time a female. She proudly proclaimed that she would remember something, though Roland missed what, and proceeded to tell everyone how oddly they looked. This of course interested the Ootsutsuki because he also thought she looked rather out there.

"Well yes, she is alive I suppose..." the Doctor answered before Taika came into the room and hell broke loose.

"Juggling Daleks" would be all the Doctor had time to reply with before the void. The Tardis suddenly split and vanished at the same time. Reality, space and time itself were torn into a million fibers, and rewoven in a new way.

Deep inside a few ninja a new power awoke, Roland, Aoimari, Dusk, Kuro, and Brink. All would feel these abilities once they regained their consciousness in this new land.

'Not sure, probably some place outside of the reality you are accustomed' a voice would spark in Dusk's mind. It was an odd voice, in between a tenor and a bass yet almost the same pitch as a soprano. Dusk was in fact correct, there was no chakra here, instead simply their souls would appear. Unlike their reality, chakra had not been synthesized here unlike their reality and as such using it would not be an option...luckily some here now had new found powers. Not that any had thought of resisting, luckily.

Roland smiled as he awoke Dusk and pressed a finger to his lips as he moved to the next...Yahiko. What he saw in Yahiko's soul caused him to pause and reconsider resuscitation for a split second. However it was not Roland's place to judge other's thoughts, only their actions and thus he awoke the man, who continued his loud volume of tone. Roland made a mental note to procure a muzzle from a local vendor before their found their way back home. "I am your superior officer Yahiko Judal, one would think before screaming in this place please" but it was already too late for his warning and armed forces began to gather around them. Of course by the time he had replied he had just finished awakening Kuro who had also screamed. 'This is not going to look good any way we slice it, is it?' Roland thought to himself as he moved onto the next victim of drowning. Naturally Kuro had already rectified his earlier actions by placating the guards with words, hopefully it would work. What Roland saw in the soul of the next person surprised him more than Yahiko, but he filed away the image away for a later date. Now was not the time to delve into the interesting ninja he and his Kage had found during a breakfast.

The last to awaken gave Roland a shout directly to his face, though if he expected otherwise it did not show on his face unlike the first time someone directly yelled at him for saving their life. "I am a dick madam, not an asshole, furthermore I am your superior and I swear to the Almighty that if you people keep yelling in my face-" Roland cut himself short as he was interrupted by the guards of Atlantis. Roland audibly sighed as he saw the deep amount of shit they were in.

The Guards reacted to the words with only scoffs. "If you lie once more about infiltrating the deepest defenses of this world, then we will slay you. Why are you here in Atlantis? You obviously are sneaking into the place, but what for? You should know that hundreds of the world's mightiest warriors are here to put scum like you down" their captain stepped forward, his gut was protruding from under his scale armor. Upon his head was a helm shaped like some ancient sea serpent, in his hand was a golden trident and the other glowed with yellow sparks. Behind him the twenty other guards formed a semi-circle and began to move inwards.

Roland Ootsutsuki heard an odd sounding voice inside of his head 'Move the unconscious, just think and it will be done.' And so he did. Kikato, Venus, and Kaigen were whisked to the back in an instant, fifteen meters behind Roland who took a defensive position, palms facing out in front of Aoimari, and Brink the two ninja he had revived last. No matter what happened he was not planning on letting any of these people die but without his chakra he had no idea what to do.

((So essentially, react to this, and have a voice tell you how to use the fruit if you are a bearer))

Here and there, now and then he was now in an alternate dimension. Where? The place had been some domain known as Atlantis and how he awoken? He didn't exactly know yet he looked up towards the one who had brought him back from his slumber, the one known as Roland apparently. There was something he had been noticing for a moment or rather from the moment he had awakened. Though it was true these denizens had no chakra...It was as if he himself couldn't properly focus his. The presence of Matatabi was there, but not only that he could feel it...Something other than his partner's presence and it was then he heard the voice.

From his own mind, he felt the voice and thought of it as one of knowledge and knowing, a voice that with it carried a sense of wisdom. Blinking a few times he looked around to himself whilst Roland had begun to awaken the others," You aren't Matatabi...Yet you aren't something that just probed me and tried to harm my body. As for your what you had just mentioned...Is it possible for ones such as us who rely on chakra to thrive here without any...complications?," of course this mental thought, in response to the unknown voice would only spark another thought into his mind.

What he felt or rather what he sensed was spirit, the bond that kept a human within their physical form right? Well if this was the case, and their chakra was a different...Then the mission here, whatever it was would become more complicated than he first thought. To test this theory he tried to summon the cloak of Matatabi, but to no avail. His eyes had went from their usual stoic to pure surprise as he sighed and looked to the others wondering if the others knew about this yet.

With no surprise to that he turned back into his mind and searched for the voice again," So you...What exactly are you? You weren't here before this journey started, which only means that through some mystical means me and you have been brought together. So allow me this one question, what are you?," for a moment it would be exactly like the first time he attempted to speak with Matatabi, whom he could feel in the spatial confines of his mind, just remaining quiet and listening to the current conversation. Moments passed within his mind while seconds went on, his eyes watching Rolands interaction with the others before eying the guards. At this point the voice would once again speak up to him," I am the feeling you now have in your body, the voice that is neither here or there...In short I am power, the power that will allow you to protect yourself and move towards your goals," the words...had some power, the strange aura of the voices words caused Dusk to search himself. If it was power, then like all power it had a source...It had a place inside of his body.

After a moment of thought, he could only look as the so called "warriors" of this place had spoken up, accusing the group of infiltrating their home. If these were the guards then would he hate to see what the king was. At any point he would simply take a small step back, with no chakra he would have to resort to his swords. The mere fact that they were outnumbered meant more, but he was a shinobi and numbers weren't going to stop him from at least protecting himself and those with him. Stepping back besides Roland he would rest his right hand onto the hilt of Dawn and smirk," Well if he is one of these one hundred warriors...He has definitely let himself go. Either that or the term warrior here is heavily construed," the words being murmured to Roland, he seized for a moment. There was something burning inside of him...Hotter than the fires of Matatabi enveloping the inside of his body, mind and soul.

This feeling...He couldn't explain it with mere words, but the feeling alone felt as if he was being incinerated and reborn by fire, a feeling that one would never imagine possible. It was at this moment that the voice appeared once again," The power is yours...That fire you are feeling in your body is the source...But you must be the trigger to use it. Stoke this fire and let it burn, take control of it and push it to the surface. Its as simple as breathing...You are a wielder of fire," the words echoed in his mind as he pondered on the riddle of the flame, the voice that dominated from his mind to his core. If this was his test, then he would apply what he knew....and use it. Looking down to Roland and back to the guards he would take in a deep breath and begin to stoke the fire burning deep within himself, his body beginning to steam before his left hand began to catch ablaze.

The smile turned into a wicked grin as he gripped the handle of his blade and clenched his left hand into a fist," Scum like us? You must have broken the mirror of yours in whatever hole you live in. We came here with no intention of fighting or breaking into your world, but if you threaten me...I will protect these people and show you what a real warrior is like...Chubby," now if Dusk was putting himself into some deep shit, then so be it but threatening himself and his "team"? Well he was going to show fatass here exactly how a ninja fights.

Important Announcement

I shall be posting again on friday, anyone who has not posted by then will be captured, anyone who is passed out and has not posted by then will sorely regret it, and that is all I will say. Remember this is still rp.

This day was beginning to be a real pain for this male.  It wasn't enough that he was rudely interrupted by the charming music that traveled through that cursed music box.  Why did he follow the music, what was the point of it, he could sense there was something wrong to begin with.  Why was there a damn music box in the sand in the middle of no where it made no damn sense. The second he touched the damn thing he appeared in a dark room, he would yell over and over again and yet no one could hear him.  To top it all off he saw his dream world and it was amazing, second he touched the Kazekage hat the world vanished.  Now here he was on a damn flying box in the midst of nowhere and found out that his superior roland was on board.  Great now he was being told to shut up by him, of course in a nice manner but he really didn't care he was really starting to hate today.  How could it possibly get worse. He would blink a couple times before looking around the area.  Where the hell were they? This world was not of his own.  He would sigh before, yup you guessed it! more shit hit the fan. GO FUCKING FIGURE RIGHT?

'If you lie once more about infiltrating the deepest defenses of this world, then we will slay you. Why are you here in Atlantis? You obviously are sneaking into the place, but what for? You should know that hundreds of the world's mightiest warriors are here to put scum like you down'  GOD DAMNIT! Now he was being interrogated by fish mongrel? He was about ready to explode.  Sneaking? He was a prisoner of kidnapping! Mightest of warriors? You are kidding right? What are a bunch of fish people gonna do?  Tail flap them to death, this was becoming a pain for the male.  It made literally no sense, what was wrong with wanting to nap after such a long day of training.  Speaking of which where was Zetsu, how come he didn't show up with him. . .God damnit, he forgot Zetsu decided to stay at the village to rest.  Zetsu was probably relaxing while here he was getting interrogated this is such BULLSHIT!. Suddenly he would see another male in front of him.  Now who the hell was he, this damn kidnapping was gonna be the death of him.

Hold up did his hand just go on fire?! WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING ON! He would just look at the flames in the males hand then he heard them threaten the rather oddly hugely shaped fish man.  He would stop for a second blink twice before letting out large laughter from his mouth at the huge one.  The fact that, that fish mongrel threatened him made him laugh rather hysterically. He would point his finger at the fat one before laughing even more. Suddenly he would stop before wiping his eyes from the moisture made from his laughter going a little too overboard. "Oh man that was a good laugh, hey look here fish boy. . .I am simply just a prisoner here. I just wanted to nap and the I found myself here.  I am not sure about the rest here but I am no way in hell going to take a threat from you though.  My god you let yourself go, what do they feed you guys. In any case, why would we be sneaking what could you possibly offer that would make us want to infiltrate you hmm? Perhaps some really good grub, I mean you seem to show it. . ." He would laugh again pointing at the fish mongrel again, before yet again stopping.

"Mightiest warriors? Scum like us? Oh man fish boy you sure are hilarious, I swear you should be a comedian or something.  I see no threat in any of you at all. . .also Scum? Really? Isn't that a bit harsh, you barely even know us." He would smile and shrug his shoulders nodding his head from left to right.  He would wave his finger back and forth looking at the fish mongrel. "How do you not know we come in peace, well they do. . .me. . .as I said I am just a prisoner. . .However the one with the flame hand over here. . .no idea who he is but he looks ready to turn you to fish sticks. So fish boy how bout it? Want to just stop the threats and point us to the nearest way out of this place I really would like to go for a nap again. . ." He would shrug his shoulders again before once again nodding his head left to right.  He wasn't lying he wanted to go lay back down on the sand and nap. This day was seriously hell for him, he only wondered what was gonna happen next.  He knew if they declined he would have no choice but to fight with the lightning sword he had strapped on his back. Shit he had a weapon everything he just said about being peaceful. . .yup that went down the drain. . .GOOD FUCKING JOB!

Things started getting weird for Taika when a fat fish man appeared and started talking. Something about him and the group invading. He really didn't care, but being called scum was just plain rude. He was about to say something, when something clicked; No chakra. No chakra, means no jutsu, bloodlines, Clo-

Where's Gyuki.

Taika yelled into his head 'Gyuki! can you hear me!' nothing. This was something that Taika did not approve of. He was disconnected from one of his best friends, and a great source of his strength. It was about this time that some of the unconscious bodies started to float away from the group, and one of his 'team' mates' began to ignite in flames. Than another guy started to say something about being a prisoner. Whelp, when the going get's tough, the tough crack out their big ass swords, and that's what Taika did.

He reached back, and grabbed hold of Kubikiribocho, looking at the fat fish man, and said "Ok, tubs. as much as I want to say something as cool as these guys, I really can't-" he began as he pulled his massive sword out from his back "-as I have nothing cool to say. But let it be known that I won't just let this guy do all the defending. I don't go down without putting up one hell of a fight." he would than hold the colossal blade with both hands, and prepare to hack and slash his way through as many of these damned things as he could.
