Welcome to Gaia! ::

With the enemy ships and automatons largely crushed, the dead-looking ships lurking beneath the water began to feast on the debris, storing automatons parts that were still salvageable and using the stones as fuel. Each one grew significantly to a size that resembled that of a large war ship the dwarfed the others before rising to the surface and joining the regular boats at intervals. Mononoke was at the helm of one of the golem ships, soaking wet and looking completely in charge of the situation.

The barriers protecting the allied ships faded as the technique ended. The clone dispersed, leaving Bast panting and grabbing on to the side of the ship for balance. She shook her head and yawned hugely before turning to look at the captain.

"Follow them!" the woman said, pointing at the ship on the horizon.

At this point, she received the bird and looked over just in time to see Akane get sucked in to the tornado alongside Manfread. She felt a knot form in her stomach as it became apparent that Manfread was going to launch a Katon attack. She inhaled deeply and began to sing again, switching the elemental type of Manfread's fireball to Fuuton, making it a large ball of wind. This would likely affect the tornado's strength, but Bast wouldn't be awake to see it. She had spent too much Chakra in too short an amount of time and used Chakra resonance on a technique originating in her own body without being used to it, and fell to her knees on the deck of the ship. Luckily, Mononoke appeared behind the woman and caught her, and laid her down on the ship gently. Bast would sleep for a short while, likely until the group arrived at the island.

Without assistance, it would take some time for the natural speed of the boat to allow our Suna gang to reach the new location of the single remaining ship. They could do with some rest, but with their friends alone and currently "MIA" after being ripped through a portal and all. So with some urgency, the ship continued to the direction of the silloute ship.

Akane and Manny got exceptionally lucky. Bast, being Bast once again, used her impressive jutsu to allow Manny to bust out of the wind prison. With an absolute angry face on, the pirate yelled and drew his two blades. With an impressive speed, as well as power and accuracy the pirate used Advance of steel to quickly move forward to catch the wounded, and caught of guard Manny. His attack was a form of quick yet cutting techniques, brush strokes, to cause many deep Lacerations to weaken and bleed the enemy out.

Although terrifying, Manny was a trained suna nin and was a tough son of a b***h to begin with. The powers that be, if he were to survive this part of the battle, he would bless him with a certain gift.

Akane, being the sneaky b*****d he was, would feel an undying need and a raise in all attributes to save his friend, who he had kindly jumped into a worm whole to save. Did the Pirate see him? Did he know he followed? Only time would tell.....

Manfread dropped to the ground as the wind ended abruptly, hitting the deck he dropped his sword just in time to take a few of the pirates swords. Stinging pain shot through his limbs as the swords cut at him, running out of patience and good none blood stained clothing Manfread took a half step back and unleashed a technique of his own. Using the Substitution Technique he replaced himself with a barrel, most likely of water, cooking oil, gelel stones, or little stowaway children (he didn't actually look before replacing), and would reappear behind the enemy and opened the first gate. Then spinning around to the front of the probably confused pirate he grabbed his sword and slapped an explosive tag on the barrel, then using his sword like a bat he whacked the this towards any enemies that were still on board or alive. The tag should explode on impact if he hit anything.
“Your in my trigram butt pirate, Revenge!” Manfread said as he dropped his sword and sped towards the pirate, hammered away with two strikes, then four and so on until he had completed Sixty-four Palms. When he finished his assault Manfread grabbed the pirate then gave him a Greman suplex of epic proportion. Blood flew around the deck as he moved creating an almost perfect crimson red circle that resembled a hippy like sun.

"so what are we expecting?"
Lucas said as he scrambled over towards food. he was getting hungry from all the work he'd done in the air. if he could he would find more booze so he could finnish his flask. he'd drunk so much before that he had only a few swigs left. taking a swig he found bread and cheese and veggitables but until he got farther in looking he couldn't find the booze. he quickly filled the flask and wondered on how he could bring the barrels with him.

Manfread stood up and grabbed his sword. Tearing off the tattered rags that were once his shirt, jacket and bandaged Manfread swung the hilt of his sword up and rested it on his shoulder. A evil smile nearly split his face into as he stared down at any survivors, he stood still not even trembling a bit as blood ran down his well toned muscles. It was probably demoralizing to the enemy.
“You know what I hate? When cowards run,” he said with a sneer, “Ya can't get into Valhalla by just standing around, Fight me! I'll smite you all!”
Searching for more enemies Manfread noticed Akane in the sky and in the under the deck, he walked to the centre of the vessel. Hacking down anyone his his path Manfread used his byakugan to find treasure or enemies. Upon locating a first aid kit he ripped it off the wall and bandaged himself as he worked.
“If these turds won't fight me, I'll loot them,” Manfread said quietly to himself as he searched. After he finished applying his first aid he threw the kit over the edge. Hearing a distinct splosh he remembered, having completely forgotten due to extreme ecstasy from fighting, he was over the ocean. Manfread stopped looked at the water then barfed, and dashed over to the nearest thing that was bolted down clutching it for dear life. He was very angry and if his veins weren't popping from the byakugan they would from his rage.
"I'll kill anyone who comes close...... now take me to land!!!"

Bast continued to snooze. When it came time for Howaido to move the ship, Mononoke took Bast and leaped on to one of the golem ships, and there laid her down in one of the rooms in the ship. The armada picked up a little bit of speed, aiming to just close the gap created by Howaido's speed in time to hit land at the same time.
