Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hidden Sound
The rush of the slime girl forces slowed when the barrier appeared, and several of the slime girls paused to chatter amongst themselves that only four were standing against them. Sometimes the pathetic humans were so foolish! But that just meant it would take even less time to get past them, and have some real fun, devouring every living thing within the village. The group began to spread out, forming a rough semicircle around the small group of their enemies, while several of the slime girls stepped forward, including, to the shocked outcries of several of the troops, General Kuro Hachimitsu Sennyo herself. She sneered at the pathetic humans, wondering if they knew how over their heads they actually were. The troops she would be fighting alongside seemed to grow bolder with her presence, knowing that if she had chosen to fight, this should be an entertaining battle, at the least. There were eight of them, counting Kuro herself, ready to face off against the four humans and four puppets. In the meantime, several of the other slime girls were trying to gauge the strength of the barrier, to see just what sort of method would be best suited for slipping past it.

(So can you tell me a bit more about the barrier?)

"Kyoshou-sama we'll have to talk later, we have to move you back your not ready for what's happening now. I swear, you can put your faith in me, we'll protect the village while you get your strength back." more medic nins appeared to take Kyoshou back from the front lines and away from the slimes. Mei stood up a cold glint of steel entering her eyes, her firey red hair falling free from it's usual pony tail to frame her face. The calm warmness was gone replaced by a firey determination. She pulled the strap of the guitar over her head as she vanished heading to defend her village.

From outside of the barrier, craters began to form around the slime girls, something was making them, something fast aparently as something slowed for just a moment. A lone ANBU of the Sound was blocking the retreat of the slime basically forcing them forward into the attacks of the others. Knox smiled as he danced to the music that only he could hear. This was first time he was putting his kinetic armor to real battle use. He would be the fastest ANBU out there if it killed him.

Crius raises an eyebrow, even if they could devour his chakra strings, they should have been effected by the implosive properties of them. Causing them to lose pieces of themselves into nothing, as if that piece wasn't even there. It didn't matter now though, since they were moving in on his location, this was the fate of the world, or at least this village resting on a few shinobi's shoulders. It made things more interesting, Crius may as well place all techniques into his disposal. Sliding backwards he draws a mask from within his black cloak and draws it over his face, the white mask, with it's eye and hand. The symbol of the 'Friend' organization was now worn. As soon as he pulled it on, his clothing changed from a black cloak, to a white one as he chuckles behind the mask. With a single hand sign, as an attack was sent his way. He used the Flip Side Technique, making it seem like he was there and struck. Before he was gone, seconds later he was standing a slight distance away, creating more hand signs, he grins and then uses the Burning Daydream Genjutsu. With the use of his 'Friend' Organization mask, his genjutsu could effect anyone, including people that may be two times his strength. The puppets, who soon absorbed the rock, turning it into nothing. All leaped from their pyramid and spun around, pushing off each other, and the ground to move towards the opponents that had passed them. Bladed weapons suddenly in hand, they all struck out at each of the slime girls that had gotten past them. The fourth puppet, being that of Devoker Hyuuga seems to appear before the fast moving slime girls, and then he thrusts his hand forward, causing a burst of air and chakra thanks to his Eight Divination Signs Air Palm Technique. Akai Kaguya grins darkly as he raises a hand before him and then slips it to his other hand, making it seem as if he was holding something in both hands. A second later, he drew a large blade, his Zanbato from it's sheath and then slashed once, using the Samurai Style of sword play. Even as he slashed, he moved forward, and then to the side, in order to move away before his rushing opponent could react. Thanks to being of the Military Police, or Korps. He was pretty close to a master swordsmen. Meaning that he could use the skills he knew, to attack and duck away before his opponent could react. Or at least, that was what he hopped for, with his enhanced speed from four years of training. He was aiming to cut the slime girl in half, to slow her down before he made any further attacks. Thantos grinned, as he watched the lightning from his bullets effect them in that way. It would prove useful for the future. But for now, he would need to continue as he was and fight further. Bringing his attention to the leader that was charging at their back, 'The Black' activates within Thantos' own mind. A single crimson eye soon snapping open on his back, this eye being that of the Ultimate Eye. The eye was tracking chakra, and to be specific the chakra of the leader in order to judge attacks, and movements with a little ease. This was nothing close to that of a sharingan's abilities to track movement, but it made fighting easier, when he always knew where his opponent was. Without even turning around, he thrust the Chakra Revolver beneath his arm, so only a portion of the barrel could be seen, if it was even noticed. Now that it was shown, he spun the wheel and fired as soon as it stopped. With a good deal of accuracy, and the hope of timing the movements of this slime girl general. He uses the Katon Bullet of his chakra revolver. Firing a single bullet, that soon shatters into multiple bullets much like a shotgun. He was aiming to eradicate a large portion of this Slime General as soon as she was too close, thanks to the recoil of the technique, he was shot forward a little, causing him to drop to his knees, before he pushes and thrusts himself upwards. An Alchemic circle left in his tracks activating even as he leaps upwards and into the air. This circle causing a large bolt of lightning to crash downwards on two different areas. Both areas being judged places where the Slime General would try to dodge, if she moved to either side. Even with their abilities to create holes in themselves to dodge the bullets. They could at least be blown to pieces for a short amount of time, thanks to his bullets. Zaman Kagerou grins as he makes a couple hand signs and then uses the Lightning Armor technique. Once the slime girls came close, they would be hit by the lightning, and paralized once again even before they could touch him. It was black lightning as well, meaning that everything touched by the lightning would catch aflame in that endless fire that Zaman loved and used so well. As soon as he had taken care of the ones attacking him, he spun around, a bow forming into his hand, as he took aim and shot an arrow towards the slime girl that was attacking Thantos now. This arrow, being made of pure black flame was shot forward, and burst into a small explosion of black flame if it touched the slime girl, or was dodged. That way, it would at least throw them off course for a moment. Even though Thantos was now in the air.

Since they had used the fireseal, which did nothing Crius grinned and then moved back away from those slime girls that he had been fighting. The flames of the genjutsu would soon cause them to feel as if they were burning alive. Could they feel such a thing? It was not really known to Crius but it was worth a try anyway. He needed to keep a control over this situation, and this was one way he could manage that. For the time being, that was what he was going to, he turns his attention to his puppets, who were fighting on their own, thanks to one of his skills. The puppets that were fighting the slime girls continue their constant strikes in order to continue attempting to cut them up.It was not that they were trying to defeat them, they were just keeping these distracted in order to make things a little easier. The Puppet Devoker drops down to the ground, and then moves forward swiftly in order to move into the way of the cast Poison Bomb. Using the Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin Technique, The Puppet Devoker deflected the bomb back towards the enemy that had cast it. Zaman frowns a little, sharply pointed and inhumane teeth showing from between his thin lips, as he moves swiftly to the side, in a just as inhuman speed. Firing a three more arrows made of pure black flame at the Slime General, before spinning around and shooting towards the one that had tried to attack him. Thantos grinned as another attack was sent his way, any normal person would. Using the Wraith subcatagory of his 'Black' abilities. He actually rolls in the air, as if he were on the ground, the attack heading towards him, passing him easily. While in mid roll, he fires with a Raiton Bullet down at the Slime General. Aiming with those twin bullets and their electrical atribute once again. Once he finishes the roll, and the almost hidden attack, he stands in mid air, and then descends towards the ground again. Akai grins a wicked grin, as his gray eyes catch upon the attacks that were being sent his way, liquid based arms meant to strike him? He spins around on one foot, the blade being slid back into it's sheath and seeming to vanish as he makes a hand seal with his other hand. Then, with a thrust of his hand, that lead into a vertical slash. A gust of wind was sent, with the use of the Wind Slice technique, in order to cut the arms sent towards him, from their other halves, and possibly end the strike. Either way, Akai leaped upwards and into the air, spinning to face down again, reaching to his side and drawing a crescent blade from it's cloth sheath, and then slashing downwards. An almost infinate number of crescent blades showing themselves being launched in a serpentine pattern towards this Slime Girl that he was facing. Even as it hit the ground, the ground would be torn up in order to tear everything apart in that area, with the use of the Doryusen Technique, which would cause a huge gorge, and shoot rocks and debree into the Slime Girl, if she wasn't already cut to pieces by the blades of Akai's Jakotsutō.

As the slimes began to track his motions Knox actually stood still for a moment standing as if frozen in time. It didn't take much to figure out that the speedy otonin was waiting for them to approach. When they walked within range, he vanished heading upward leaving another blast crater, it would be interesting to see how the gel like creatures faired when actually within the range of his wind step, a move similar to the Hyuuga Heavenly spin in that it used rapid rotation to block, deflect and damage the opponent. While the hyuugas relied primarily on just pure chakra, Knox used the wind chakra of his air vents to shred anything with in the range of his attack. There was another crack as he wind stepped forward in the air interjecting himself between the airborne slime and Thanatos, where he followed up with a third wind step to block and attack Kuro himself. Taking advantage of his onslaught Knox slowed to a hover for a moment following up the wind step with his air slicing blast which had double the range of any of other Abumi. He fired from his palms hoping to capitalize on any damage caused by wind step.

Hidden Sound
The slime girls that had neared Knox were sent back by the sudden surge of wind and chakra, slicing into them at the same time. As they skidded to a halt, they quickly reformed and turned to look and try to find where the human had gone to. Seeing him join in the fight against their leader, they shouted out a cry and charged forward. The battle had been a simple even number match, but if the devious humans wanted to change that and add fighters to it, then so would they! The entire army rushed forward, howling their fury as dozens of various attacks shot off in all directions, their rage nearly a physical form.

The slime girls that had been fighting against crius looked at each other nervously. He seemed a lot stronger, but still, that was Kuro the Cruel, they knew precisely what she could do to them. She, like all the Generals, and of course their creator, knew how to make them unexist, and that was a much bigger threat than any words a human could say, no matter how powerful and reasonable he seemed. They tried to shake off the effect, but it wasn't easy. The slime girls that had been fighting the trio of puppets had continually been hacked, cut, severed, stabbed and more, but still they weren't falling back. Until suddenly, they felt they had played their game long enough, and quickly reformed back to their full forms. As well, the sheer amount of their substance that had splattered onto the puppets now moved as well, quickly coating them in a solid layer and gulping down every last iota of chakra they could find. The slime girl that was fighting Akai found her strikes to hit a solid metal umbrella shield, and frowned. Even so, when he quickly began shooting a blast of wind down at the poison gas, she had an idea. He had leaped higher and higher still to get away from her, using a combination of Impossible Leap and another wind technique. Little did he know that she had simply grabbed onto his umbrella for the ride, and was even now surging past it, moving in a shockingly quick action to simply engulf him. The slime girl that Zaman chose to fight, was at first hard pressed by hius onslaught, the sheer amount of fire and electricity pouring out of him was troublesome. Finally, she simply had to use a combination of a FireSeal and her own Electric Armor technique, so she could at least meet him in hand to hand combat. The seal would continually suck up the black flames, while her electrical protection would keep Zaman's electricity from touching her and turning into yet more black flames. That left her able to lash out with basic fighting moves of her own. That first attack of his, the Taijutsu part had done little, but the fire and electricity had hurt. Now that she was mostly protected from that, she could maybe turn the battle in her favor. Kuro made a low growling sound when she felt a new arrival appear behind her. She was hit by the Air Slicing Blast, but pulled herself back together almost instantly. She lashed out with a strong series of blows at Knox, hoping to knock some respect into him for daring to try such a maneuver. At the same time, an idea hit her. She quickly activated the Satetsu technique, taking control of the iron dust that Zaman had thrown towards them. Dust was almost precisely the same as sand, after all. Now having taken hostile control over the Denji Genmu, she propelled it towards Knox, those last few fateful inches. When he had appeared between her and Zaman, he hadn't had much room to spare, they had been close together to start with. So when Zaman had thrown the sand, it had already practically hit his compatriot. With a little boost from a Satetsu technique, contact was practically assured, unless he happened to be a Hyuuga, or another ninja who could see out the back of their head. And with her attacking from the front, if he did stop to notice it, he would almost have to leave himself open to her attack.

Hidden Sound
The trio of slime girls that had been fighting with the trio of vacuum creating puppets didn't know what had happened, but after a moment realized their opponents had exploded. They had been hurled back by the force of the explosion, and a good deal charred and singed, too. They hadn't been completely annihilated, not like the bits of their substance that had formed all over the puppets, that part of them was well and truly gone. They staggered to their feet, but they would be out of the fight for a little while as they pulled themselves back together. The slime girls that battled Crius were faced with a vast amount of chakra strings, and a decision was needed. They could eat them again, suffering through the implosions they created, while absorbing the chakra that made them up. Or they could try something else, something a little less risky. In the end, a few of the slime girls did opt for eating, and the results weren't very good. They had devoured a good deal of the strings, but their forms had been reduced to such a small degree that they were virtually out of the fight for days, without outside aid. Others had tried avoiding the strings, leaping back and sending out a wall of sorts in the form of various techniques. But the damage had been done. They rushed at Crius once more, their forces bolstered by what was almost a sheer wave of the slime girls who had been watching and not interfering before. The slime girl that fought Akai grumbled a little as he noticed her at the last second, and held the umbrella as she dropped. If he really wanted to run away and hide, she'd let him, there were other victims she could battle. But Akai wasn't running, he had just moved far enough away to be able to act with impunity. the ground quickly began to freeze solid, and for a moment, the slime girls seemed to almost do the same. But using ice against the slime girls was a predicted move, they would have thought it would have happened earlier. The majority of the slime girls quickly activated Inner Fire, to warm them up enough from the surrounding ice effects that they could proceed as normal. The slime girl battling Zaman cursed as he reached out and snagged the scroll from within her gut, burning it and her. She cried out at the burning feeling, even with her Inner Fire, the black flames were just too powerful. Soon, she was gone, only to be replaced by several of her vengeful sisters. Each of them were now working on sealing away any and all of Zaman's black fire that he might try to create, as well as preparing an attack to make him regret hurting their sister. Kuro narrowed her eyes when her victim suddenly vanished without a trace, only to appear a short distance away. At the same time, several somethings tore into her, each on it's own not doing terrible damage, but grouped together they were definitely a nuisance. she growled, and formed the Satetsu into a spiked shield, before sending it toward Thantos and his gun, both blocking his further shots and sending a dangerous spiky projectile at him. At the same time she quickly reformed from her injuries and Body Flickered behind him, only to lash out with a savage backhand slap to the back of his head, unless he'd sense her and react quickly enough.
