Welcome to Gaia! ::

If the Agents of chaos came to this world, then it would be less of a laughing riot(maybe in the eyes of the Joker) and more of a worldwide game of target practice, because Reiko and everyone else that knew how to swing a sword would have to fight. "If that's the case maybe they need new teachers to whip them into shape, instead of a global assault." Reiko suggested. "Then again maybe those brats wouldn't be so annoying whent it came down to saving their lives."

"I think my date would be dead when i would go for a bathroom break." Reiko replied. Small jokes here and there were unnecessary from eyes looking on the outside but if all of what Jono saying was true, a serene position had to be acquired; whether it would be from meditation, or jokes in the middle of an aftermath caused mostly by a protagonist rather than the antagonist.

And speaking of joker, as much as Reiko wasn't a big fan of the idea, Jono admitted that this war was going to happen; there was no stopping it and the clown prince of crime played one of the key roles. They had to get to him first or else their chances of winning this war was going to go down the shitter. All of the evidence Reiko had wasn't enough to convince him that a war was coming. All that he could really count on was the vision mashira saw through Jono along with his messages. "Overseeing the exams?" the rhetorical question came from Reiko. First a doctor, now a designer of the exams? When would it be time for Reiko to find out Joker was an interior decorator with a bachelors in communications. Unimportant thoughts flowed through his mind, such as the future of Laura if Joker ended up overseeing her exam in the near future but as mentioned, they were unimportant at the moment. "If what you say is true....then it looks like we'll have to pay him a visit as soon as possible."

As for Reiko's explanation of leaving, Mashira didn't seem to worry too much about the gravity of the situation of Reiko's control or simply didn't know about the powers of the phoenix. Who could blame her, or anyone else that didn't know. That small demo was just a small sample on the astronomical power scale of the phoenix. Reiko needed to get control of that scale, for as long as he wasn't in control, then if situations like this repeated itself he was not only a danger to the entire village, but possibly the world itself. "..It's something i don't want to risk is all...right now they're probably sending their best men and women here." Reiko told Mashira. It wasn't bragging, it was just Reiko picking the best option. He had at least hoped that they did. He knew for sure Mashira would do the same if someone like Reiko came into their village and ******** s**t up. Not to mention this village still had something they needed, which would be obtained in the future.

With the talk about the world being in jepordary and one of their chances lying in the hands of the Joker, leaving suddenly seemed out of reach. But what happened next would make Reiko regret not leaving when he had the chance. Out of nowhere a slim man in jade clothing with a strange looking gold clored helmet appeared and everything happened too quick after that. The first thing that happened was that they were trapped in cages that wasn't designed to have no more room than necessary. With words failing to escape from Reiko's mouth he attempted to use his ryuugan eye to get a power reading on this Loki but wasn't able to. Maybe it was because everything was so new to Reiko; whatever it was it was another variable that made their situation worse than it was. Using the gloves of Magnus to magnetically pry the cages open was another option but something told Reiko to not be foolish and attack this Loki one on one. Instead he played prisoner and listened to what he had to say.

"What do you want with us?" Reiko demanded.

No answer from the god, which was no suprise but what was a suprise was that he knew that Reiko posessed the Phoenix force. "Who the hell is this guy?" Every since he posessed the Phoenix force Reiko kept it a secret from everyone that he knew, including Rose. So how in the hell did he know without even meeting Reiko. He had to know information about the Phoenix but Reiko played dumb still, refusing to comment. Another suprise was that he revealed himself to be who Jono was talking about; Loki was Chaos. Was he telling the truth, was this the man Jono was talking about? Or was it just to mess with their heads.

Reiko attempted to pry open the cages on all three of them like a strongman with his gloves but as quick as he attempted to do so, he felt a weird sensation. Only this time it was forced and unfamiliar, meaning the Phoenix force wasn't pulsating through the body of Reiko. That was good, but the sudden shrinking sensation Reiko felt was the complete opposite. "What's going on?" he chirped.

Chirped?

The sensation was over, but the end result was sadistic, at least for Reiko. Jono ended up becoming the opposite of a demon, an angel of life, while Mashira became a werekitten, and Reiko got the s**t end of the stick.

A baby chicken.

Reiko fell over from shock when he realized what had happened to him. Loki had transformed each of them into the opposite of their...transformations. What kind of sorcery was this!? Genjustu would have barely passed through his ryuugan eye but with the psionic abilities Reiko posessed now he would have at least put up a damn good fight. No hand signals were necessary so no ninjutsu, and certainly no kenjutsu or taijustu. "What just happened to us? And please tell me this isn't permanent."

Jono spoke about saving the people in need, something Reiko would have done if he wasn't a baby chicken but now that he was a chick, just what use was he. "I don't think i can even fly, let alone save someone...."

"Oh.."

Jono said as he finished lifting up a little boy to safety. He flapped his wings and floated back over towards the group that he was with. He sat there for am oment as he landed down on the ground and shrugged his shoulders as he picked up the little peep. He petted him a few times. Jono smiled his big smile and looked at Mashira.

"I guess you are right.. He can't be much of a hero with this little body can he..I think I can... give him a body.. or something.. or let him anchor a body. Possibly..if we find a body thats willing..But thats is he helps us save people because WE ARE THE HEROES.."

He said in his charming voice. He looked at the kitty. He only smiled at her as he flapped his metal organic wings. He started to look for a body. The only one nearby that he could find was a girl. A small girl at that. He only placed his hand over the little girl and placed his hand over chicken. He placed the boy's soul inside of the little girls. He only shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"This is your temporary body. At least for now. Keep this chicken safe though cause if you break it..you won't have a body to come back too."

He laughed. As he started to look around. He then put his finger on his head.

"So.. I guess we should find this chaos now huh? IF we are going to be the heroes.... I think we should..go to Hidden Time.. for Some reason.."

Lilith woke up in the alley way of hidden night, woozy her eye sight hazed unable to see more than a few inches in front of her. What was going on? The last thing she could remember was being in the Akatsuki headquarters, being accepted as one of the members. She received a scarlet ring, a headband, with a slash through the center, and a dark robe with the cloud print showing all who see it she is a member. But where was she now? Was this a trial of some kind? She slowly sat up rubbing her eyes, trying to get her foggy vision to leave, so she could see once again. Once her hands were removed from her eyes what she saw was rather surprising. She was in Hidden Night. But how did she get there? She couldn't remember. This was weird, and it was unlike her to be taken by surprise. She rose to her feet, her legs shaking as she did. Something was off.. She didn't feel like herself. Her right leg gave out, and her body began to fall towards the ground. She quickly caught herself, her right shoulder smashing hard against the building. But something else hit as she did. She turned her head to see what it was. That's when her jaw dropped, her eyes widened. Wings, but not her wings. Pure white angelic wings. She spun like a dog trying to chase its tail as she tried to gain a better look at them. What the hell was going on? She looked over the rest of her body to see what other changes took place. She quickly opened her akatsuki robe and revealed strange attire, her clothes were different. The clothing resembled that of a school girls.

This was not good what happened to her? Why did she have these wings? What kind of chaotic sick joke was this? She stumbled out of the alley way, falling flat on her face once there was no support of the building for her to use. She pushed herself back, resting on her knees and shins, her wings drooping down to the ground, the snow white feathers almost glowing. She looked around and froze once her eyes locked on to a glass window. She could see her reflection, and what she saw was disturbing. She had completely changed, her eyes that were once auburn with black rings in them now an inviting bright yellow. Her hair nearly matched her white wings, only a shade or two darker then the white wings. Her black hair was gone. She hoped that this wasn't permanent. She couldn't live like this...

Her body no longer felt weak, her vision returned back to normal, and the memories came rushing back to her. She was in the Akatsuki headquarters, training, testing out her limits when a portal appeared in front of her. Some strange hand reached through it and ripped her from there, bringing her back to Hidden Night. A man named Loki was responsible, and she wasn't the only one that had changed. The people she faught side by side with against the masked assassin were also affected. She saw the werewolf change in to a werecat, the demon with those giant horns that she admired, transformed in to a hideous angel like herself. And the man that rained fire from the heavens, destroying the assassin, and causing her to flee, well he was changed in to a small baby chick. That's all that she could remember before passing out. It seemed that the portal transfer had drained her of energy momentarily. She wasn't sure how long she was out, but it couldn't have been long. Because not too far away from where the 'Angel' knelt in the road, were the three others changed by Loki.

She slowly rose to her feet, and approached them, she glanced at the each of them before speaking. "I need to kill Loki. I can't be stuck like this forever..." Her wings twitched as she spoke, while her face tried to hide behind the high collar of her robe. She was some what embarrassed to be seen like this. The last time they saw her she was in her true form. Unholy, seductive, evil. Now, well... she looked.... Sweet.

Mashira was explaining to Reiko, who was still trying to get used to his new body how his body wasn't completely useless. Seriously, the feeling of having no groin after having one since birth was creeping him the hell out. Having breasts as well only made him more creeped out. At least he restrained from "feeling himself up" like so many of his male friends and non-friends joked if they ever got switched inside of a female's body. Maybe it was because the girl, although had the age appearance of Mashira, wasn't physically developed. So according to Mashira, the child's body had some training and was in since she was in a Genin state. An implication that perhaps the woman was a chuunin or close? It wasn't the best by far but certainly not the worst. But then Reiko heard her explain that the worst case scenario and it had him on the edge? If they were facing a normal enemy, then Reiko would have understood and tried to keep his power output low. But they weren't just dealing with a normal enemy...

They were dealing with the God of Mischeif. The worst part was that he was an actual god...no self given names, Loki's power was on the tier of the gods. So while Mashira's information was helpful, there didn't seem to be a way that Reiko could hold back against Loki, or any of his group members at that. "Let's hope that doesn't come to fruition..." Reiko replied with a tone of hope. Though something told Reiko that this battle would escalate to where he would have to try out that hypothesis. Just as he was about to leave he heard another voice; a female at that. Reiko turned around when she mentioned that Loki's blood would be on her hands today; like Mashira, it took a few moments for Reiko to see it was the female that fought with Jono during the fight with onomatopoeia. Mashira was on the same page as well, and the idea of skinning him alive seemed fair...and yet unsatisfactory. "At least he didn't turn you into a baby animal...." Reiko told Lilith. "I think it's fair that I get the killing blow on Loki. If i leave remains you guys can do what you want." he told them with a small smile on his face. It wasn't everyday that Reiko spoke about killing someone like this, but it was clear Loki had no intentions of becoming good or leaving until everything went to hell. And was Reiko's line an implication that Loki's fate would be like Onamatopoeia's?

Only one way to find out...

Now that Reiko knew that he could still use his abilities, he decided to try it out by using his telekinesis, lifting his own body for a faster means of travel. Since the body was much lighter than his own, it wouldn't be much strain. After a few moments Reiko finally lifted off of the ground with ease. "Only one more thing to do..." he told himself as he took the baby chicken, his true body out of his pocket. It was a good thing that he discovered his Cryptic Summon technique, which allows Reiko to dismiss and summon whatever was in his arsenal. And since he "owned" his body, the rules still applied as the baby chicken disappeared in less than a second. Right after that Reiko took off via flight in the same direction as Jono as they all planned to give Loki the most vicious a** beating of his life. "My body's safe, but I have to make sure I don't get killed, because if i do, then if Mashira's right, i'll be back in the chicken,....and stuck in another dimension..."

Obtaining new members for the Lin Kuei would be the first priority at the moment. If they needed to start rebuilding the clan, bring it back to the powerful clan it was before a few of them were lost during the Phoenix attack, along with those fighting against Chaos; recruiting members with potential was the first step. Before this became the first priority, the number one objective on the chart was to make sure that Exar Von Lieberkuhn was in tip top shape before he and frost were to set off to get new members. Frost was ecstatic that he was still walking and talking even now after nearly a week after his release. Since then Frost had been taking notes on Exar whenever she would perform tests for him to accomplish, such as sparring, archery, and more importantly his skill with Suiton. It appeared that even though his archery skils were slightly off, she assumed that it meant he needed to get his rhythm back up again with the Deadeye; which was surprisingly a regular composite bow. She would have thought that with the Kori staff that he possessed, which was something she wanted to discuss with Jamal Exar Von Lieberkuhn, the Lin Kuei member would have a better bow. The majority of the time she was spent cooped up in her quarters studying more about the water element rather than with Exar after some time so she did not get to see his skills fully in action. But a few techniques that she did she was surprised to see from someone of the Lin Kuei. Or an ex-Lin Kuei technically; some of the Suiton attacks that he had possessed were some that Frost had never seen before. Those techniques were restricted to the Hidden Summit but somehow Exar Von Lieberhuhn was able to have the luxury of being a student there and being taught a few of their techniques. One technique that Frost found that would come in handy in the future is ability to create material out of thin air made of crystals, or otherwise known as the Air manipulation technique.

The flickering ice barrage technique was another offensive technique that she had liked that placed a lot of pressure on the opponenet; having he or she trying to dodge the ice needles while at the same time trying to keep eye contat on Jamal Exar Von Lieberkuhn. With techniques like these the Lin Kuei was heading in the right direction to becoming one of the most powerful clans this world has ever seen, with Jamal Exar Von Lieberkuhn leading them the entire way. But as mentioned before they would need some powerful members to be on the squad if that were to happen, which is what Jamal Exar Von Lieberkuhn and Frost were doing. Frost had head about the member that they were going to recruit; little information. The majority of the information wasn’t really important but all Frost knew, which she told Jamal Exar Von Lieberkuhn was that he was part of the Benimaru clan along with his name.

“He goes by the name of Ermac.”

The two of them reached the Benimaru village in their hopes of searching for this Ermac. As mentioned before Jamal exar von lieberkuhn was going to stay quiet while frost was going to do the talking, trying to get as much information as she could. To make sure that they were even more on the sneak tip, Jamal had used the shape shifting jutsu to transform into a completely different person. That way it would get some pressure off of him and not leave other people guessing as to who he actually was. In addition he told Frost that he was going to be at the local diner to keep himself off the radar. "When you're done I'll be here." Frost gave him the okay and as quickly as they had conjured their plan, they were off. Frost went to a few peers that she knew of that were in the powerful Benimaru clan as well as some of the more older villagers that had belonged to that clan. The process had took about ten to fifteen minutes, but Jamal didn't clock her time. The man that would rebuild the lin kuei was too buzy eating some good beef and a serving of noodles. That did not mean he was waiting until nightfall however. The majority of her friends from that clan did not even know him and the few that did knew less than what she was able to conjure up. It was only when she started talking to the older members of the Benimaru village did she actually get somewhere in terms of knowledge. It turned out that after asking the elderly of the Benimaru village, this Ermac that they were looking for did not even live in the village. In fact, he had left the village long ago; some of them said that the man stayed near the borders of the village in an old hut. A few of them mentioned that he stayed up in the mountains by their village where he lived in peace. Others said that he was a constant traveler, leaving little to no clue of his existence in the villages.

Things would have gotten complicated pretty quick if the elder that mentioned that Ermac was a traveler was true. If he was up in the mountains, then more than likely the man would have been at Hidden Summit, or the village hidden in the clouds. If that was the case, then they would have to do some traveling but at least they knew where. The last option was what Frost was going to go with; the piece of information that explained that he was now living on the near borders of the Hidden Night Village. Frost had given her thanks before going back to the Diner where Exar still was; finishing his second bowl of noodles while reading some sort of paper in his other hand. Jamal Exar Von lieberkuhn looked over his shoulder to see who was walking, pleased to see his friend coming back with hopefully some good information. If not, than he sure managed to get some as well so it was not a lose-lose situation. "What did you find out?"

"Ermac may be in a few areas. One of them in at the borders of Hidden night. If he's not there...we may have to do some walking. A lot of it." She took a peek at the paper that he was looking at, showing a bit of concern when she saw a familiar page that comes around every few months or so. But maybe she was overreacting. "You're not thinking of participating are you?"

"Thinking about it, no." Jamal placed the paper next to her, taking another bite of his meat. The paper was promoting the Chuunin exams, which meant that every village that was out there would have gotten the news as well. It only came around a few months, where the genin of the villagers would duke it out through various challenges; whether it was from pure fighting, showing intellect, and other various skills he or she had. If they passed, they would become stronger and reach Chuunin status. Those that were already a Chuunin would have made an epic mark in their quest to become greats; becoming a Jounin. The Jounin were nearly one of the strongest warriors of the villages; coming in second to the members that fell into the Kage category where some of those exams came in one in a blue moon. The Sannin exams was a great example, where it happened last year and only three participants were able to join. It would and could be used to their advantage if Exar was one of the few that came out on top. It would most certainly make things easier when it came to recruiting the members of the Lin Kuei. They would see and realize that Exar was back and if he had potential to hit chuunin status, in the chakra pool he was swimming in now, imagine when he was the ruler of the Lin Kuei. How much power would he possess? How much would the entire lin kuei possess? The Price however was too high for Exar's chakra pool, a factor that he seemed to have disregarded. Jamal was smart enough and had certainly factored that in. "My mind's already made up."

"You can't be serious..." said Frost. Since coming out of the tank Jamal hasn't even seen a piece of real action. Yeah the tests showed that he was back where he left off, with a slight hindrance that could be remedied. But to start off in the Chuunin exams, with Chuunin's that likely reached their cap. Even if they haven't reached their max they certainly would have been much, much, much stronger than Exar. Going through with this was not only unwise, but it was almost asking for suicide. Exar motioned for her to have a seat by him. With this discussion in hand it didn't seem like they would be going anywhere right now anyway.

"It's not all about brawn. There are more variables to it, you know this. Plus It's been years since I saw some action. Why not test out my skills with the best that each village has to offer at this point. Furthermore, if i make it out as a chuunin our mission becomes extremely easier. They'll respect someone who is a chuunin trying to coerce them to join them versus a Genin."

Jamal was seen standing erect at one of the highest points of the Village of the Night; looking towards the distance where the other villages resided. There were only a few that he had been to, such as Hidden Moon and Hidden Gears. There were much more to be discovered; many techniques to learn, many allies and enemies to encounter. It has been no surprise that aside from alliances, the odds of villages being somewhat connected to each other was beyond slim. But as of late, there has been one thing that all of the villages, even the ones beyond this world have in common. Dark and apocalyptic days were heading to this world. It had already been evident before but not as large as this. Crabs from another world invading Hidden Federation, an entire village being destroyed in an instant. Not to mention there was a period in time where multiple villages were being invaded by certain shinobi members in attempts to usurp the throne that was otherwise reserved for the Kage's and Sannins.(game of thrones event)

A new ice age had seemed to come to this planet by surprise when he noticed that parts of villages, mostly his own had become similar to an ice skating floor. Seeing as how he was one of the two active Lin Kuei warrior's, Jamal was not convinced that the other villages that had dipped into the suiton element could have unleashed something of this degree. Demetria was the top suspect that was painted in his conscious. Yet based on their last meet-ups, Demetria would have delivered a more direct message to Jamal Exar von Lieberkuhn. Plus there was the recent discovery of what would be one of Jamal's most dangerous weapons. Jamal slipped a hand into a pocket and palmed the gem that he had found not too long ago after the Hidden Gear events. The words that Frost told them rang in his ears when he asked her to research it.

"The item seems to use inertia as its main energy source. In early stages it can protect you from ninjustu attacks, a small portion of them anyway but its the other stages that amaze me..."

Opening his closed palm he could feel the power rush through him in all of its stages that Frost explained. If something like this existed on this earth, the possibility of an item that could turn parts of the world into ice...was possible. And if that wasn't enough evidence that the world was on a course into oblivion, there was the sudden earthquake that was felt around multiple villages and an avatar of what looked like a firebird far from the village hidden in the night. These events have filled Jamal's mind with a mix of trepidation and motivation. The motivation to become strong enough, and obtain artifacts and items such as the item he held in his hand so he will not become a victim of these chaotic events.

He also needed a team that was going to be strong enough. Since his awakening his goals were trying to find Demetria, find out who had set him up, and recreate the Lin Kuei. The road to doing so began in small steps such as trying to find and recruit Ermac. But after the robot war in Hidden Gears and that last attack, Ermac had left the scene. He showed in that battle that he was able to hold his own against even the fiercest of enemies flesh or machine. Ermac also proved that he was skilled in not being found. Since his departure and the events that followed right after they had no luck finding him again. But when it seemed like their adventure would continue on with the Lin Kuei warrior and Frost...

They had found a new ally in Wes; this time permanently. Luckily for them they were not in the range of the final attack the gestalt had unleashed. The boat they were on however was a bit trashed from the force alone. Barely making it to the shore of the village, The three of them were relieved that Frost's father was safe; being hidden in one of the secret rooms around the time the robots began to demolish everything around them. In short, the village would recover(after all it was Hidden Gears), and Frost decided to stay behind to help in any way that she can for now. On Wes' return to Hidden Moon, the conclusion wasn't as warmhearted as Frost's. It was warmhearted in the fact that after a tough battle, Wes' squad managed to obtain victory. What was not warmhearted was Wes return to get chewed out by his commander.

He had given Wes a direct order; stay behind and recover. On the contrary, Wes disobeyed, risked punishment and went onward to Hidden Gears. As a result, over half of that small squad died during that second fight. It could have been avoided if Wes, one of the higher ranked was still there. The commander had placed the deaths of each of his men on him and expelled(for a lighter term) from the squad. Wes was lucky that wasn't considered a traitor to the village aka missing nin; meaning he could still set foot to the village. But Wes was in that squad and was trained by his commander since a teen. Being removed from his squad was like being disowned by family. Both Frost and even Wes needed time before the three eventually got back together gain. The main priority for the time being was the exams which were coming soon. He replayed the words Frost said when it came to respect and took that into account. Perhaps when he would become a Chuunin the search to rebuild the Lin Kuei could continue.
