Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the seven-tailed demon crashed into the ashen country side, the silhouette of a bird emerged in the sky. Diving off the bird was one of Sunagakure's most accomplished puppet masters. His form was wrapped in a sand-colored cloak adorned with crimson swirls. A pair of wood-looking angel wings emerged from his back as he sky-dived towards the ground. A ball of chakra shot out from beneath Tai Akasun's cloak speeding straight down towards the sleeping demon. The ball of chakra began to morph into the head of a demon with its mouth wide open revealing an arsenal of sharp teeth protruding from its jaw. The Akasun clan's infamous Chikamatsu Puppet Sealing Technique began sending a web of words weaving around the Shibichi as it continued to melt into the ground. When the seal had imprinted itself on the earth, the demon head was mere feet from crashing into the demon, to pin it to the earth. This technique seals off a being's entire chakra pool and keeps the seal from being removed by brute force. Normally this technique was used to kill chakra based being such as living puppets but it would work to seal off the tailed beast's power, to keep it incapacitated. If this technique worked, the Shibichi would no longer pose a threat to Hidden Grass. Tai landed beside Kyoshou waiting to see if his seal took effect. With the seven tails fast asleep, it didn't seem likely it would escape this crippling blow.

Dawn and Knight halted their attack and dropped back a ways to escape the raging fire tornado that the pheonix had formed. It was obliterating Hidden Grass and the enemy wasn't even there! It had fallen asleep and sank into the earth. Maybe the creature didn't realize this?

Hurdy remained extremly close to the fire, if not in the eye of the tornado at some points in time. He was incapable of being burned, and lacked the sensation of feeling heat, he could survive the fire storm. His clothes however had long since burned off and Hurdy simply covered up his lower regions with fire. He awaited the Dragon's return, and stared down the hole it made.

"s**t!" Kyoshou shouted as the fiery tornado sped towards them. He held out his melody arm in the air as he charged a considerable amount of chakra in it. From the holes in his melody arm, the Ward Melody began to float through the air repelling the tornado's flames from him and those around him. Almost as if there was an invisible bubble shielding him and the three next to him from the scorching flames. Kyoshou looked to Mei and Envy to make sure they were ok before turning back to Tai. "Try it again!" He shouted in desperation. With the intesne fire bearing down on his barrier, Kyoshou wouldn't be able to hold much longer without having to call to the Kyuubi for help.

Tai nodded. He would have to perform the sealing method an alternate way that would keep the Phoenix from interfering. Tai dropped on all fours pressing his chin to the ground. "Chikamatsu Puppet Sealing Technique" he mumbled to himself. His mouth fell wide open as black words began shooting out of his mouth, spreading along the ground and into the pit the Shibichi had melted itself into. The seal inscribed themselves all around the Shibichi as Tai once again tried to cut off the demon's charka supply and keep it immobile. This was the same way Chiyo had finished off her grandson, Sasori. Hopefully Tai could pull it off with similar results.

Skye/ Akira was dumbfounded. That was a waste of time. It seemed that they were useless in this fight. Still, they allowed that Rokubi to stay out just in case all of that did not work. If nothing else, they could outlast the Rokubi's firey brother. That would be enough. Then they felt it. They had another foe in this battle field. The Phoenix was now attacking for no reason. However, it seemed that the allies were taking care of it more than anything else. They would wait and see if they were needed.

Ranmaru continued to drain the beasts chakra, but that may prove to be a waste of time seeing that the beast was now sealed. However, if its pure power was enough to break the seal, than it would be quite low on chakra in just a few minutes. It was all that he could do. He kept his concentration on the Sachibi while noting that it seemed that the Phoenix was not their ally.

((Had this Amazing post...then My Computer decided to be dumb))

The DRagon..It felt as if the fire the phoenix had created had almost sparked it back to life. had these people not known that these human attacks..were made for humans. This Dragon had Faught Gods. Took on Hades and Ares at the same time. Fighting them to a stand still. Did they not know who they were fighting. Did they not know that they were dealing with..not just a manipulator of fire..but the mere creator of fire..That at any moment could just explode..The one tried to seal him.

"Insane."

The Dragon roared. The dragon only looked at Momiji. The DRagon would focus. AS he focused a fire would start to grow inside Momiji. AFter the initial spark the Fire would explode. The dragon was getting angrier by the moment now. He flew towards Tai. The Dragon flew straight towards Tai and then past him creating a A super wave of heat to past him. The wave of heat would start to burn everything in it's initial past. As the DRagon flipped in the air turning back upon then ninjas who were directly below him. The Dragon would turn pure white. IT was going super Nova. As it looked down upon all that were below it. The fire would release out of his mouth towards the ground instantly turning anything it touched to Ash. The Dragon would look at the Phoenix. It's True Adversary.

The Tails would start to move at a quicker pace. As the Dragon would fly towards the Phoenix. The White Hot Dragon. The Red Hot Phoenix. Nothing could stop either one of them. The DRagon was acutally sweating because of the fire the phoenix produced. The DRagon would fly towards the girl that the phoenix possesed. As it tried to bring all the tails down upon the Phoenix trying to smoother her. As the Tails would gather and start to destroy everything it touched on the ground. IT wanted her essence..It wanted the Phoenix's soul...

The Rokubi was fighting the control that Skye's soul put on it, and fact of the matter was that Skye was inclined to let it run loose. Skye knew its power and knew that at this point he was acting as a limiter, a safety against its power. However he also knew that when all things were equal, a Demon fighting from the body of a human would defeat a demon fighting from its own body with ease. Even with part of its power released, Skye was sure that the Rokubi could at least hold its own against these foes. Still, he held control, molding the Rokubi's aura into arms so as to beat out fires just as soon as they catch. All in all, there was not too much damage coming to the Hidden Grass village, not that such a thing mattered within the closed space.

Ranmaru still maintained his technique over the Sachibi, but it seemed that such a thing was not working. In all honesty, Ranmaru was content to simply wait for the Phoenix and Sachibi to defeat each other and simply pick up the pieces. However, he doubted that any of their Allies were as willing to do such a thing as he was. Looking around he sighed, so far only non combative techniques had worked against the beast, Water techniques were useless since they evaporated due to the hot tempuratures of both beasts. Explosions and other fire techniques were successful in stealing oxygen from the fires of both Sachibi and this Phoenix, but not enough to fell either being. So far the only thing out that had not been tested was the brute strength of another demon, but though Akira had released his, he remained out of the battle.

Saizo was getting bored. He knew that there was something of importance for him to do, but the thing was that he had no idea what it was. His flame techniques were too weak to use against the beasts, and his thunder was useless against them as well. He was thinking that he would have to go back to training soon enough by the looks of what was going on there. He could not do anything by himself right now, he simply needed to wait for a chance.

As Sage approached the village, Sage would look upon a number of nin from a number of different villages that were attempting to put up a fight against the two strange chakra auras that attracted her attention. Sage was rather shocked to see the dragon was put to sleep and had fallen to the ground for that second. Sage’s eyes glanced around as she hunted for the other one and that is when she noticed that one of the nin that were there had seemed to have a slightly different appearance. Sage could look at the girl and see that something was not really human about her, like she was posed or something. However, the girl was putting off heat that was upon a level that almost no other nin have ever seen, the heat was so great that it would stir even the heaviest of sleepers. The dragon was stirred by the heat and wasted little time as it struck out in the direction of the nin that have attempted to attack him before then directing its attention towards the posed one that upon looking at was gearing itself up to retaliate upon the dragon.

Sage’s hand continued to rest slightly upon the hilt of the sheathed katana that she treasured so much. Sage was not really bothered by the heat, simply due to the distant that she was from the actually fight. Sage was not really feeling any effect from the radiating heat that each of the two was putting off respectfully. As Sage watched while yet another nin made there way into the village and quickly joined in the fight that raging. Sage noticed that everyone seemed to be fighting against the dragon, but no one really seemed to fighting the phoenix. Sage’s mind instantly wondered back to a time not to long ago when she had watched a battle upon the level this one is reaching. The battle was similar due to the fact that it was also between a phoenix and dragon. However, the difference between this battle and that great battle was the fact that both these fighters main element was the flame where as before the battle was between fire and ice. A smile would quickly sneak across Sage’s face as she recalled the rest of the battle that occurred back then, much has changed from back then. Sage was starting to form a plan with in her mind while at the same time she was debating about which side she was going to assist in this battle or if she was going to just assist either side at all. Sage’s natural choice was to just put a stop the battle and end the destruction that it was causing upon the village’s residents and property. For know Sage will remained neutral and passive observer while choosing her next action. Sage quickly noticed the internal rage that was building up within her and it would probably not be to much longer that she would be able to contain the Hachibi from making its wishes felt upon the Shinobi world.
