Sotera nodded to the plan, so she was going with Aeden, sounds like a good plan. The female assassin followed Aeden to the ship, remaining silent as they would make their way to the boat and the mission would begin. It was time.

A curl of anxiety threaded its way through Isphet's stomach and she knelt on the dock, flipped open the cage door and slid Andy, struggling, inside. closing the cage door, and lowering the velvet covering, she picked the cage up and followed Komuru onto the boat. She wondered what process he had used to determine who would go where, but wouldn't question. Fear also crossed her face, though no one could see, at the thought of a storm.
"Our time came and went by so fast, I now look back and make it last..."
After boarding the boat, Komuru took a liking to the size of it. It was a boat big enough to travel a good distance away, about the size of a sloop. There didn't seem to be any weapons or defense on the ship, which rose his suspicion just a bit. He walked over, across the ship, to a railing and leaned over, looking out over at the sea. The sight was amazing to him, and it had been a long time since he had been on a boat of this size. A smile was placed on his face for a moment. He looked back behind him and saw Isphet and Nymeria behind him in the distance. The smile disappeared and he remembered why they were on this ship in the first place.
He looked back out at the sea and sighed as the crew on Damian's ship began pulling in the lines and setting the ship loose on the sea. "I wonder if there really a sea monster." He said to himself coming to think of what else it could be. Pirates? It seemed more likely than a kraken or something mythical like that.

After all was ready the boats set sail, launching from the harbor with ease. The day was beautiful, the sun high in the sky and the waters calm. For awhile absolutely nothing happened. The boats traveled far out into the waters, until Tsukigakure was a distant blur on the horizon. It was then that things would get interesting. The clouds would begin to converge over the hour, all focusing in on the two chartered ships. If any of the ninja cared to look they would see it was only around their location. Soon enough it would begin to rain down on the ships, whipping the waters into an ever increasing frenzy. The boats would rock violently, as if trying to throw its passengers into the angry sea.
As the waves crash against the ships a dark figure could be seen circling the ships. It seemed small at first, until the figure grew closer and closer. It grew and grew until the distance between the two ships and beyond was darkened. The storm was absolutely raging at this moment, threatening to flip the ships over. The figure seemed to be swimming up, aiming between the two ships. A loud noise could be heard, a sort of wretched screech. As the dark figure came closer it grew louder, until it seemed to be shaking the very bones of the ninja aboard the ships. And then it emerged. A geyser of water 80 feet tall shot into the sky, and out of it the sea monster. The screech that accompanied it was painfully loud, and the storm seemed to react to this creature. It's massive head twisted unnaturally, quickly spinning around to look at the ship with Isphet, Komura, and Nymeria. It began to lift its arm out of the water, raising it high into the sky. As the creature's hand hovered in the sky, the storm seemed to redirect itself to its targeted boat. Another massive screech was unleashed and the creature began to drop its hand on the boat. Nothing could be done as the watery arm smashed into the ship, causing it to briefly dip in the water and then rise out. The arm exploded into thousands of droplets, thought the water did not seem to be normal. The droplets were more of a gel like substance, and began to shiver and shake towards each other. The gel droplets began to gather together and form into smaller versions of the creature. These gel monsters all twisted around and turned to face Komura and Isphet, five of them in total. They began to walk forward, lumbering side to side and reaching out to them.
The larger version of the monster whipped its body around, sending a wave crashing against Aeden and Sotera's ship. The same affect happened, groupings of gel splashed down and then began to gather. Six of these smaller creatures formed on that ship, and all screeched at the same time. It was clear what they wanted, there was no room to negotiate with them.
Nymeria growled as the creature made itself known. She had smelled something odd for a while now, but could not place on what. Now with this creature threatening her, and much worse, her pup, the Den Mother was on full hostility mode. Snarling, the wolf jumped off to the side to avoid being surrounded by... whatever those droplets were, and growled as they combined and took shape of smaller variant of the creature. She did not want to attack without first knowing what they were made out of or their capabilities, but with the two young humans, she would have to be the one to feed them information. Nymeria took off in a dash in a full blown tackle into the nearest miniature, not wanting to get whatever they were made of in her mouth and nose. If she connected, she would ram the creature into the railing, if not through the railing and back into the sea.
Aeden grunted. "Looks like it's showtime." He tapped the top end of the scroll hanging from the left side of his belt, unlocking the scroll. He pulled it open as a puff of smoke shot out summoning a kyoketsu shoge in his free hand. As he let go of the scroll, what was unraveled slid back into the scroll's roll and a click sounded off, indicating it locked again. The blade in his hand was odd for its type. For one, it was a larger blade than normal, about as long as Aeden was tall though short about a foot or so. [1] Aeden hit a button on the handle of the blade and swung forward at the nearest miniature. The blade shot off in the direction of the slash, leaving behind lengths of chain. With a slight tug, the chain would guide the rather large blade to slash at the targeted miniature diagonally above it.
As he did this, he spoke, though only Sotera could probably hear him. "Watch and observe. We don't know what they can do yet. Keep your distance if you can. If you can't... short, light attacks and keep moving!" On Isphet and Komuru's ship, Damian was yelling rather vulgar things at the creature.
"Cut off a wolf's head and it still has the power to bite."

"Our time came and went by so fast, I now look back and make it last..."
The storm had risen over and much his dismay things appeared to get worst. The ship was being slapped around by the waves and the constant rocking made it hard to stand at times. It was only the beginning of the horrors that was about to begin. The water rose into the sky, as a monster had appeared right before them. It let out a screech one that was harsh enough to be bring Komuru to his knees with hands over both of his ears. He began to grunt in pain a little, but it didn't last long as the giant beast slapped its hand on the deck, tipping the boat slightly. Komuru quickly grabbed on to the railing to avoid sliding down the deck and crashing into something. The ship was set back to normal, but there was something aboard the ship.
Komuru quickly got to his feet, while slipping up quite a bit from the wet floor, and got to where Isphet and Nymeria was. To his dismay, Nymeria had charged at their new enemy, it seemed they were spawns of the monster. Hoping Nymeria could handle herself, he could use this time to evaluate what they were up against.'Test your enemy, and see what they can do first. Then find a weakness.' He thought, remembering the words of his father. "Hey Isphet." He said pulling a Kunai knife out. He had no experience in using weapons, but the academy had taught them basic slashes and stabs, as well as basic throwing techniques when throwing them."I know you're not much of a talker. I figured that out at the office and while we've been on this trip. Neither am I. I just need to know you got my back. I'll cover you, you cover me." He said looking at her with a small smile.
His face changed as the wind hit his face. Combined with raindrops, this made things a bit difficult. He charged lightning chakra into his left hand and threw a lightning bolt at one of the monsters. He then threw the Kunai he had at one of the monsters to see what it would do. He then pulled out another one and moved up, to face the ones advancing towards him. ' It's time to see how far I am now. And time to put to use what my father has been teaching me.' He thought, a bit nervous, but filled with excitement. The wind blew hard, and rain continued to fall, the thunder roared and the lightning cracked, forcing Komuru to keep his arm in front of him to shield his eyes from the rain and wind.
His close were soaked from the rain, but it didn't bother him, his movement was still good, despite the small extra weight from the water. There was another problem as well, the ships deck was wet, which made it very slippery. He had to becareful when running, otherwise he would slip and slide everywhere, not to mention the ship was still being smacked by the waves. He needed to test and defeat his enemy, it was the only way.

said Sotera as the wave crashed against their ship, it didn't seem too harmful but it did disorientate her for just a short moment. Sotera kept her footing and stayed stable on the ship, watching Aeden do what he did best with his movements, be badass. The miniature creatures, at least two of them, were closing in on the young assassin, reaching out to grab at her showing a zombie-like posture as they stumbled from side to side. The creatures groaned and moaned, Sotera jumped back and drew multiple shuriken from underneath her cloak, making an attempt to see if they can be harmed. Using jutsu could end up wasting chakra, probably empower them, and going in close for an attack would get her in a sticky situation that she probably didn't need. With projectiles, she'd be able to test theories and if the shuriken bounced off, she could evade with ease. With one quick flick of both arms, she threw a set of shuriken towards the miniature monsters. There were six of them after all, so Aeden wouldn't be the only one having fun.

Isphet clung to the rail of the ship as it rocked violently, second hand desperately clutching the cage holding her precious cargo. She carefully dragged herself towards the cabin on the ship.as the sea beast dropped its cargo of water people onto the deck, the ship stopped its violent rocking, Isphet ran for the cabin, threw open the door and placed the cage inside with great care before closing the door and turning to the enemy.
Isphet dipped her hands into her dress, returning with a single shuriken, which she placed in her mouth. Performing a few rapid hand seals, she grinned as her shadow moved swiftly over the deck and latched on to the nearest of the enemies. She reached up to her mouth, watching with a certain satisfaction as it did the same, plucked the shuriken from her mouth then flung it at her target.
When the shuriken hit, and slid through her opponent, her jaw dropped as it split in half, and two new creatures rose from the goop, slightly smaller than the others. "So, we may have a problem..." She called, the loudest she had spoken at all in a very long time. This was not what she had expected in the least.
Nymeria would be satisfied to feel her attack connect, though she merely succeeded in ripping the upper half of the creature off. The torso slammed against the railing and halted, seemingly dead. Rather than falling over, the legs gave off a sickly sliding noise as it sprouted a new torso. The torso did the same, only with the legs. Now, two of the slimy creatures existed where only one did. The one which had been the torso dove at Nymeria just as the legs did in an attempt to wrap its abnormally large arms around her neck. Aeden would face the exact same consequences for slashing his enemies in two. Now there were even more of them racing to capture him.
Komuru would watch and notice the lightning dissipate against the outer layer of the creature as the kunai tore into the other one, revealing its watery insides. The two creatures he attacked tore into a sprint over the water, having a relatively hard time staying balanced. They were ungainly and awkward, shaking and convulsing with each step. This did not stop them as they reached out for him in hopes of restraining and pulling Komuru into the sea.
Sotera would get to watch her shuriken embed themselves into the creatures and pop the outer layer of 'skin' they had, revealing their watery insides. One of the creatures began to shake violently and morph into a makeshift spear. Its brethren picked the weapon up and chased after Sotera while the other two tried to flank her.
Isphet would be graced with the now five creatures, though two of them smaller than the other racing after them. One planted its arms on the ground and pulled backward, slingshotting itself at Isphet. Another one morphed into a ball and began to bounce wildly against the surface of the ship, also aiming for Isphet. She still had control of one of the creatures via her shadow thing.

"Our time came and went by so fast, I now look back and make it last..."
Komuru watched as his lightning jutsu had no effect on the monster he had thrown it at. However he noticed that the one he had cut had water on the inside. He didn't have time to think of it, or what could be done as the creatures came charging at him on the wet and slippery deck. He quickly left a side image and then shadow dashed to the side of the two monsters, pulling what shuriken he had out of his back pouch, hurling them at the monsters. From what he saw, he was able to conclude that their skin was like armor, making it hard for ninjutsu or other chakra based attacks to harm them.
Keeping his balance steady, he created two lightning clones without thinking, and without using hand signs. After the shuriken attack, Komuru and one of his clones attacked the monsters. Komuru round house kicked the monster, and then stabbed it in the head, feeling how soft the monster was. He pulled down splitting it apart, while his clone punched the other charging one, and exploded.
The final clone looked at his teammates and what they were dealing with. With Isphet dealing with many of them now, and the situation she was in, the clone intercepted the one slingshotting at her, exploding into hot air with electricity streaming out of it.
Komuru stepped back now as he realized that more and more were on board. He created two clones to defend him as he began to think on what was going on. He looked over a Nymeria who had crashed through one of them earlier, and it seemed that it had split. Isphet as well. He was winded now, his breathing a bit abnormal. He losing his cool now, trying to figure things out.

Kuchiro had finally reached the great Tsukigakure seaport. He had been traveling for some time and the change in weather was definitely apparent. His headband had shown he was from Yukigakure and he was receiving many stares. The relationship between Yukigakure and Tsukigakure was tenuous at best. Neutrality was a very sore word. Things could lean towards getting better or worst at any time. Kuchiro, then realized he noticed several shinobi. Based off catching a little bit of their information, it was probably a squad. They did not notice him as they were boarding a ship. Most likely they were on a mission of sorts. He did not want to find out what they were doing or get involved. It would be better that he be least noticed. Instead, he headed for downtown.

Sotera rose her foot high into the air and then brought it down, bringing up a piece of loose floor board to catch and slam into the face of one of the loose jello-y creatures. The floorboard would rise up and send one of the monsters into the air, the other two would receive incoming kunai as they would attempt to flank her, but her eyes could see it, could see the attempt from miles away. The monster that was flung into the air by loose floorboard would receive an incoming rod that would try to stab into the blob's forehead. If all of this was stopped however, the floor board and the incoming kunai would be good distractions for Sotera to move away from the group.

They regenerate? No. Regenerate eludes to the beings growing back full limbs. Something was different; they were smaller. It was like fighting a Hydra, only there was benefits for cutting off the head. Unless they could completely evaporate the gel body, it would just return but at a smaller size. Was the only thing left to do merely cut through the monsters until they stayed dead? He waited on giving orders for now. His main concern was keeping the mob's attention on him and away from Sotera. Which meant he needed to do more work with his weapons. [1] As the blade part of his Vargtan returned, he grabbed it safely and spun, using the momentum from the returning blade. From here, he half-spun again and threw out the weight of the Vargtan in the direction of the blobs. With a tug at the right moment, the weight rounded behind one of the minatures' legs... feets... whatever the lower body consisted of and return to Aeden's free hand. With a fierce pull the chain would hopefully the chain would tear through the gel that the creature was made of. In the very least, it would cause said creature to fall. [2] Immediately after the tug, Aeden spun once again, this time pivoting his body to barrel roll in the air, the Vargtan's blade following his movements. The blade slashed at the second minature head on, same as his first attack. These creatures were slow and both of them agile, but they would only avoid and evade for so long before being cornered. Aeden had an idea, but it was risky. He used accurate attacks to not liter the ship with the monsters; he wanted to keep as few on the deck as possible. "They split when you cut them down, but they don't come back fully. Keep cutting them down and they'll stay dead. Focus one at a time to keep their numbers minimal." He then retreated to the back of the boat, and sat on the deck. Aeden was charging chakra, and a butt load of it.
(( Both targets are the reduced minatures. ))
Nymeria, meanwhile, did not do avoidence. She prefered a more direct approach. As in: Creature wants to try tackle her, it meets a headbutt from Mama Wolf. As the creature came for her, she shoved her head at it. If a tackle split it in two, the combined forces would do wonders. She would not lose in an up front fight.

Brick Break - Ignores 0.5 of your Toughness when using Taijutsu against you Hot Body - If your character is sexually attracted to men then you find Dan sexually attractive. No exceptions. Not even if you hate him. You even feel compelled to comment on his attractiveness when you see him. This ability is not replicated if you transform into him.
.
Dan grimaced as he heard the giggles of the gaggle of girls that had formed behind him peak at frenzied levels, their eyes glued to the form of the ninja, completely unaware or uncaring of his apparent discomfort. A young man nearby collided with a stall after Dan's muscular thighs had caught his attention for a little too long.
This was why Dan hated being in public, a bunch of squawking loons, who didn't give two damns about him, who just wanted to devour his body with their eyes. He knew wearing nothing but speedos and jacket didn't help but why should he change the way he looked just because these people couldn't exercise restraint?
Still, he'd been ordered to get out and stretch his legs in public after he'd been caught secluded away from humanity again, thumbing through a book instead of working. That wasn't all they'd caught him doing... Dan's grimace deepened at the memory as he fought down the blush. Sometimes he wondered if the universe hated him, pouring embarrassment after embarrassment on top of him just to spite him.
It has hard to maintain one's zest for life and adventure, even when those were one's natural prerogatives, when the everyday interactions with other people became a nuisance above all others.
Dan meandered aimlessly through the port areas, hoping to lose himself in it all, hoping the girls would lose interest eventually. He knew they didn't have a chance, and they did too probably, but with giggles that freakishly intense, some of them were probably deluded enough to try. Eventually he lost the port areas, and moved on leaving his followers to return to whatever it was they intended to in the port, somewhat resigned to the fact he should sharpen his ninja skills.
Isphet ducked to the side, watching as one of the slimes bounced himself right off the edge of the boat and into the water. Turning back to the remaining monsters, she performed several quick handseals after which Isphet's shadow split and launched at the remaining monsters, trapping them in her grasp. she walked towards them, stopping just out of reach, turned with them, and began backing away, as they were now closest to the rail, she kept moving back until they just fell over the rail and down into the ocean. With a satisfyed smirk, Isphet turned to look at Komuru and his fight with the remaining critters... it had started to rain....... oh no.... that was the exploded remains of one of the critters... and all over her favourite dress too... How very inconvenient.
