Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryu grins as he watches his pray disapear through the portal to hidden time. He slinks out of the shadows of a water tower thing on the roof of one of the buildings, "Hidden time is a dangerous place my pray I hope only that I am the one that catchs you" and with that this furry fiend disapeared into thin air following his pray into the village hidden in time.

A brief flashback scrolled its way acrossed his eyes he remembered shaping the land as if it where clay he remembered building mountains valleys carving the land as if it where nothing more than a template to work upon... then... he died...

As the various prisoners streamed forth from the facility, Shouta and Lolita felt a little annoyed. It looked like they wouldn't be able to collect upon their promised reward! But at the moment, they were just glad that it had went as smoothly as it had, everything else could wait for another time. And if nothing else, they could always track Raga down and collect from her again. For now, they were looking forward to some nice, quiet rest. They separated, and walked arm in arm down the street until they arrived at a small hotel. Purchasing a room, they slipped inside and wasted no time in stripping out of their borrowed garments. They were just lucky they had hidden some emergency funds well enough to avoid getting found during their capture. And once Raga returned, hopefully they could venture back into the facility to gather the rest of their belongings.

James heard her as she talked. He nodded, "Yes Ella, I would like you to be my sensei" he said and he smiled, he then looked at Kino as he glomped the heartless. James knew that she would train him to be a great ninja. He liked danger, he knew what she was talking about, really dangerous stuff.

With their room taken care of, Shouta and Lolita had but one thought in mind. Sleep. They were tired, they had been busy for quite some time, without so much as a break. So now they would rest, recover, and prepare for the next day's activities. Raga had some expensive bills to pay! The two Kon siblings entered their room, stripped out of their simple outfits, and collapsed on the bed, cuddling up with one another. For the first time in quite some time, they went to sleep without having fun with each other first. Shocking, but they were just that tired, enough that a soft bed and several uninterrupted hours of sleep were their number one priorities. They had fallen asleep almost before their heads hit the pillows, and were soon sound asleep, their breathing deep and even. They hadn't bothered with a blanket, it was still somewhat warm out, enough that even a slight chill in the air wouldn't bother them.

-A Dark figure walking through the mist towards the hidden village. The figure stood about six foot one as its shodowy figure could only protray. It has been two long years since he last visited his home village. The man now returns to see what has become of the place only to wonder if there was any missions he could do once more for the mans' leader. Affter a glance around the gates that stood at the entrance the man bellowed out.- "I am Damian Uchiha, Member of the Hidden Leaf Village, I have returned home now open these forsaked gates!" -A slight shift in the mans eyes Cause the mist to slowly drift away from his figure now allowing a clear view of the mans figure. Damian wore a black ninja suite with silver lined edges, the back of the suite protrayed the Hidden leaf Villages symbol. Upon the mans' head tied ever so diligantly was the mans bandana also protraying the villages symbol. Upon the mans' left side sat a Katana, from the looks of it the thing been used thosands of times and was still as sharp as it ever was. Upon the mans' right leg was straped a set of a dozen throwing knives, his favorite thing to use while in battle alongside the mans' Katana. Upon the mans' back sat a ninjato only been used a few times rarely the man chose to draw this weapon as he favored the katana and the knives.- "Will you open?" -The man asked once more as Damian awaited the answer or for the gates to swing wide open to welcome this old warrior home.-

Raga continued to creep stealthily through the facility's ventilation system, checking the rooms one by one. Occasionally, she froze in place as guards would pass by underneath her, worried that they might hear even that slight an amount of noise and spot her. She had no way on knowing which room Shouta and Lolita would have been kept in, luckily that wasn't what she was looking for. Instead, she was looking for whichever room was used to store the prisoners' belongings. She had seen a few of the prisoners as they escaped, they were wearing nothing like what they had when she captured them, so their belongings had to be somewhere within the facility yet. And she had taken it upon herself to find those belongings, and return them. It would certainly not atone for what she had done, but it was a start, and for now, that was enough.

Above the village of hidden leaf, the skies were darkened. Black lightning cast itself across the sky as the clouds spun around a central nexus. From this Nexus, Exodus came, at least twelve feet tall, massive arms and legs. He was a beast, born from the dead and as such had no fear. He held in his mouth a massive blast of chakra exactly like the one that the Mizukage had used to destroy his obelisk, the combine chakra and power of the nine tailed fox behind the attack. He smirked as he opened his mouth, spraying it across the village hidden in leaves, decimating it in one fell swoop. He turned once he was done, taking his trip to his next victim... Hidden Cloud.
