 When the Sasori and Gaara puppets were sent out Nobody but the Ghost Mask over his face without activating it yet and made his way over to them as they attacked the iron man. He saw the sand forming around the guy and then heard an explosion from within. Nobody saw that he was gone shortly after the explosion so he got close to Gaara and Sasori, reaching out to them in an attempt to grab them (Assuming they are close, if not then just Gaara). If one or both of them were grabbed they would then be absorbed into Nobody's body, vanishing completely and becoming a tattoo on each or one of Nobody's hands. Quote: Cloak: Art of Concealment 500 skill points: The user can absorb a weapon into his or her body, and recall it at will. The weapon is completely invisible, except for a small tattoo shaped like the weapon on the part of the body where the weapon was absorbed. This is not genjutsu; the weapon actually vanishes. This must be learned several times to conceal multiple weapons.

 A loud cry went up, filling the air with discordance and gibberish. It was no sound at all, and every sound rolled together into one paradoxical cry. It was Hedoro, simultaneously laughing and cursing as she devoured the zombies between her and the special tasty zombies. She knew they were tasty because they were different. Just like the best piece in an assortment of chocolates always looked special, so too was it with zombies. She could hardly wait to devour them! She was advancing rapidly on Kankuro, her legs seeming to eat up the ground beneath her as she ate everything else. Even as she got close to the vast cloud of magnetized iron sand, she didn't seem to be bothered by it. Instead, almost instinctively, she seemed to shimmer with an almost unseen force. This was her Lightning Armor, it coated her with a thin but highly-charged sheath of current, enough to neutralize and negate any charge the iron sand possessed. That left it as regular sand, which she viewed as cinnamon sugar to pour atop the tasty treats just a short distance ahead of her. And then she was right behind Kankuro. Her cry grew louder, a wordless exclamation of doom and hunger and chaos, as she lashed out with both arms, her hands stretching out to be large enough to grab him completely.  Kawari had been prepared for a close range battle. not this. Her opponent seemed to be a puppet user, as the last victim hadn't been a true corpse at all, but a creation. That meant long-range, which meant trouble for a Taijutsu user like her. Why were her opponents always long-range? She sighed, before turning to face Eluamous. He had retreated a short distance to regroup with her before they could renew their assault. When he asked for aluminum, she paused, but then shook her head. She hadn't used aluminum in her shell due to it's relative weakness and mutability. But she did have rubber. It was used to coat some of her internal components, wires and gaskets. She had some to spare, but not much. Maybe there was another way? "This one doesn't have aluminum in it's repository. Rubber is available in small amounts, however. Though to combat sand, high voltage and temperature is suggested." And this was true. If they could produce enough heat, either from flame or lightning, they could fuse the sand into glass, and counteract any charge it might carry. That would virtually eliminate the threat of the sand, allowing them to rush in close again. Once they were able to rush in close, she felt confident in their ability to eliminate this new enemy's ability to pose a danger to them.

 No further attacks came after the birds were taken down so Serenity decided she would create a Shadow Clone that was aflame just like she was to stay here and see what unfolded. In the mean time she shot straight up into the air as a pair of Draconid wings sprouted from her back and were engulfed in the black fire. She flew at such a speed it appeared as a Black Comet flying through the air she quickly arrived back with the main group she had hoped she would be able to get this done quickly but as it was she should have known it wouldn't be that easy. She arrived in time to hear Kawari speaking with the Iron Man and Serenity landed not to far from the two, "Heat..." Serenity said her feminine voice seeming odd coming from an intimidating Black flamed figure, "That'll be easy" she had no doubt in her mind that Ironman and Kawari could feel the heat even from this distance it was black flame very similar to Tsukoyomi. The black flaming wings folded up on her back but did not vanish. "As for your magnetic problem thats easy don't panic." Serenity stepped forward and placing a single flaming figner to Nailo's chest the flames spread in an intricate circle pattern but they did not burn nor was there heat from it it was odd then there was a spark and a brief glow then Nailo appeared exactly the same as he had before the show, "I used Alchemy to modify the metal your made of to remove its magnetic quality."

(( Loki I already shifted out my my metal form to escape the magnetic field. )) Eluamous Nailo (It's Clobbering Time!)  "That won't help my taijutsu if I'm bouncing off anything; I need something non-magnetic. I was hoping for another metal, since its sturdier; but rock will have to do." Elaumous pressed his hand against the ground and used the seal for Douka no Jutsu before turning his entire body into stone. Shifting his weight, Eluamous testing out the form. It wasn't as durable as his steel form; but Douka no Jutsu allowed the body to break away and reform at will; so he wasn't in any immediate danger.

He looked and they were gone as he pulled the strings his puppets were gone and before he knew it. She was behind him. He only could let out a cry as he felt the doom behind him creeping up and eating him whole. The puppet master was gone, and there was no trace that he had actualyl existed either. T hat was the worst part about it. However there was one person watching them. It had been Mengal's first officer. The Red Hood.

ENTER THE HOOD The Hood had been watching the whole time from close range. He saw everything and he couldn't believe how good they were. They had to be some surviving shinobi. He knew his mission to find the shinobi and bring them home. Make them obey Mengal. He looked at them as he made himself fully visible.
"Heh. You guys are pretty good. I was coming out here to kill that damned obmination today. But it seems like you guys beat me too it."
The Hood let his cape drop over his eyes.
"You guys want to come to the village with me? It's a lot safer in there then it is out here in the wasteland. The welcome party is a lot stronger after nightfall. You know? Come on Come on I can get you some food and things. Even your invisible friend. Come on out it's okay. We won't bite."
The Hood said as he started to walk towards the village.
"Come on! There mates. Shake a leg."
He said as he pulled down the hood a bit more.

Serenity smiled shyly as the flames around her vanished in a poof she sent the single to her clone and dispelled it instantly. She followed The Hood keeping her eyes open at the surroundings if they played it like they were survivors they could earn the trust of the people that she had to deal with a good plan and with Loki sealed away completely within her the mind control women won't be able to affect her. "Thank you Mr...." She let the sentence trail off since the man had never actually said his name.

She didn't have to wait long for the smoke to disappear, and as it disappeared Alice saw that the puppet was already destroyed into thousands of pieces. She relaxed a bit and looked over at the one who was controlling the puppet. It was pretty hideous, and before she could go and make her move everyone else was all over him. Instead of trying to prove herself and possibly get in the way, Alice just watched the others completely destroy him in a matter of minutes. She was right in thinking she would probably get in the way, so she just put her rapier away and walked up to the group. Then another man started talking to them all, he was actually alive this time too. As Alice watched the Red Hooded man she deactivated her Kekkei Genkai causing her eyes to stop glowing. The mysterious man invited them to go to the village with him, something about him gave her a bad vibe but Serenity seemed to trust him. Alice looked at the others a couple times giving them a questionable look. Whether or not they could trust this man, nightfall could be their appending doom so how could they refuse? She started following the hooded man but kept her gaurd up. There was just something about this whole situation that didn't make sense...

Eluamous Nailo (It's Clobbering Time!) "Anywhere safe would be a nice break from this onslaught of zombies..." Elaumous had to suppress the urge to make little red riding hood jokes. It wouldn't be a bad idea to learn the village's location; for one they could maybe find out where Mengal lived, and kill him. Eluamous decided upon two things though... The briefing had mentioned a woman who could control men; he would have to find a way to keep himself free of this influence. Kawari seemed to be his answer; the Metamorose Fusion would work to both pool their power and add the android brain within his own. Certainly the woman could trick the man, but the machine would remain adamant against her.

Hedoro enjoyed the satisfaction that came with eating the puppeteer. She was right, there was a whole extra layer of flavor to this type of undead. Not nearly enough to satisfy her hunger, though. She turned to look as the Hood welcomed them, invited them to Mengel's fortress. She was torn between two options. go, and see what new types of food she might discover. Or stay, and continue devouring the undead that even now weren't very far away? The Hood said they would come out in greater numbers at dark, that sounded very tempting. She had thought there was a decent number of them before, but even more? That was hard to resist! Kawari remained silent as the others discussed their options. Personally, she didn't feel inclined to trust the Hood. But if they followed him, perhaps they could be led towards their true goal, the gem, and Mengel's life. They would almost certainly be betrayed, so it came down to a simple question. Did they feel they were capable of overcoming whatever form of treachery they would face? If so, there was no reason not to accept the offer. After all, a reprieve from fighting the walking dead would be welcome, some of them had to be getting tired by now.

 As the puppets vanished Nobody looked down at his hands, only seeing two small images that looked like the puppets. Then they turned invisible like everything else connected to him. Once the Hood appeared and spoke of a safer place to go Nobody decided to follow him. He didn't know where to go so he saw no harm in traveling to the village with the Hood. His clothes and items became visible, revealing his figure. As he walked along he used the Byakugan to get a view on where they were headed and their surroundings.

ENTER THE HOOD
The Hood only seemed to bow as he escorted them towards the village. As he got close enough the village the large gate appeared infront of him. he looked up slowly and he onl sighed as he walked behind the group as he cloaked opened up all of them were inside of the village.
"listen to me now. There are so interesting characters in these parts..trust me you don't want to end up on the wrong side of town."
The Hood said slowly. He only glanced downwards. As he heard the voices again. he coughed as he started to turn up towards the village.
"Is there anything I can get you..besides your gelatin friend here..I am quite sure most of you must be starved. am I correct?"
The Hood said slowly. As he started to walk towards the ration shop. He kept his head down as the cloak started to whisp him away.
"Do try and keep up..,,I want you to join up with me..be my commanders..If you can keep up at is.."
The Hood said as e started to turn invisible with each step he made.

Hedoro eventually decided to follow the others, as the lure of possibly unknown foods was just a little too tantalizing. Even so, she continued to think back to that wondrous feast she was abandoning. Another time, shew vowed to herself. At the Hood's comment about her not being starved like the rest of them, she frowned, her eystalk quirking in annoyance. What, like a few hundred corpses was enough to make her full? She took that as a challenge! She was about to lash out and smack the Hood when he vanished from sight. Of course she didn't actually see, she sensed. So she lashed out anyways, one of her arms stretching out to form a long whip. Kawari remained silent as she and the others were transported within the village. Odd, it hadn't been visible earlier, had it been under a cloaking device? That seemed a bit beyond anything the village should have been able to manifest. There were more and more aspects of this mission that was leaving a bad taste in her mouth. There were too many unknowns. Nonetheless, she held her silence, watching as the Hood disappeared. He had left his words vague, she wasn't sure if he expected them to follow him while invisible as a test?

Serenity had been close, distance wise, to The Hood and as such had been within arms reach when he started to disappear into thin air. She targeted a spot that was still visible that he shouldn't have been able to feel it a quickly placed a Rite Seal on it so that as he vanished the Seal would vanish with him. She kept an eye on the ground looking for any disturbance made from foot falls and would continue to follow those if she could spot them but if that Rite Seal worked she could just use the Flying Thunder God technique to appear right next to him in a yellow flash. "Something very fresh and... red red meat would be good please no vegetables if you can help it though I would still eat them" Serenity grinned flashing her slightly pointed teeth seeming to catch the light briefly.

Eluamous Nailo As they entered the village, Eluamous decided it would be best to conserve energy and return to his human form, releasing Douka no Jutsu. "Anything fresh would be appreciated." Elaumous noted as The Hood mentioned food. At best the man would have to act hospitible, and Eluamous would have to act unsuspecting of the host. After all, a trap only was a trap if the victim didn't know it was a trap; if they didn't believe their 'guests' could be trapped, then they wouldn't resort to the simple means. Eluamous made his own mental notes to check any food brought to them for poisoning. Of course the man was turning more invisible with each step; although why he couldn't tell. Already Eluamous had lost his three katanas and would have to replace them. He possessed his longspear of course, and Ensis Exorcisens, the summon-slaying hand-and-a-half sword. But neither would be drawn conveniently in haste. A second reason to return to human form where the robes he dressed in could serve as a second layer for any sneak attacks to piece through. Although he disliked the trick; an after-image with his coat left behind to act as a solid always was a useful trick to divert an enemy so that he could sneak attack.
