Welcome to Gaia! ::

((I want Trop to post before I do, this could make and interesting RP if he is to join on this journey...))

..::Coming up on the two sources of chakra he was amazed to find one of them a dragon, the other Espyn, one of the other members of the academy. Espyn seemed to be struggling, and Dust had no time to question, but did so anyways, as to rush recklessly into danger, he knew he could get injured::..

Hmm...a dragon so far up north, could only mean two things. It was either summoned or changed through physical change, or it has been forced into hibernation. However, there has been no activity so far up here lately, so it must be an actual person.

..::Realizing that it could be none other than Kaimen based upon his remarks to Espyn, Dust began to form handseals in his mind, than quickly followed up with them::..

Kage Bakuretsufuu Shihou Hapou Shurinken no Maki

..::As Dust ran forward towards the dragon, forty kage bunshin clones formed around him, each armed to the teeth with shurinkens. Leaping into the air himself personally, the rest of the clones unleashed a flurry of shurinkens at the ground, and the dragon::..

Espyn be careful. It is Kaimen Clough, don't let him get near anything near the pure earth. Make sure he stays here in the snowy areas. It is the only way you can beat him.

Espyn looked over in curiousity as yet another voice penetrated the privacy of his mind. He was personally beginning to think that this wasn't the best thing in the world, but this wasn't the time to dwell on these thoughts. He gripped the remains of the sheet of ice that supported him so well and directed it away from the barrage of bunshin and shuriken that hailed themselves towards the dragon-Kaimen-sensei. "What... the hell... is going on... Christ, no one tells me these things!" he hissed, soaring higher above the ice statues that formed and towered over the area. Espyn whirled around and gazed down at the dragon, wondering what it was, where it came from, and really not wishing to be answered by someone invading his head again. It was quite rude.

((rude he says, rofl ))

The Dragon was unharmed nor scuffed by the explosion as the blast seemed to move his left leg back a few inches. He snuffed a flame from his nose. All talk was seemingly useless as the beast began to rush towards wll the clones ar ounce. Jumping into the air it began to spin and seemed to fire its steel like scales in all directions like the shuriken had been fired at him, almost as if it had its own ways of Sharigan ((sp?)). The large and small scales in all there form were hurtled at lightning sppeds as if Kunai or shuriken encased in sand shooting every which way before the dragon landed hard on the ground being covered with snow.

All the Mizu student could do was hover above the area and watch, being consequently forced to pull his headband over his already wide eyes, to prevent himself from getting blinded once again by the explosions and the bolts of Rai that made their way across the skies. "Ugh! This is getting really irritating! Ice!"

Both of Espyn's hands, which were firmly stuck to the slab of frozen Mizu, focused chakra into the object, the edges flickering brightly with reverberating blue energy. The outline of where Espyn took the piece of ice from began to shine with a luminous white aura and crack the ground, spreading across the tundra a fair distance and firing some chunks of ice into the sky and dragging others under the arctic-temperature waters. He really didn't know what to do. He was just trying to raise the ice because he had heard Trop tell him to keep this beast within this area.

((Sorry. Mother keeps popping in and out asking me the most random things and it's completely ruining my focus. stressed ))

((That would prove quite fun...I'd have to repair them... confused ))

..::Knowing the attack would come due to his own personal form of Sharingan, Dust was already for the attack, and knew what to do. Forming handseals in his mind, he was able to slow down the attack long enough for him to prepare a viable defence from the blades or steel and sand::..

Katon: Housenka no Jutsu

..: biggrin ust pulsed his lips, as he unleashed hundreds of small but extremely heated and dangerous small balls of fire towards the oncoming assault of scales and dust shurinkens. The samll flames, allowed him to begin to melt the steel which would slow it down, as well create awkward flight patterns, making the scales fly in various directions from Dust, as the sand shurinkens were heated to such extremes, and do to the cooling effects of the extreme north, they became glass, and could no longer keep their velocity up::..

Knowing the elements and how to manipulate them is very important Kaimen Clough, but you already know this don't you?
