Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Oh man, this really sucks, I haven't seen Kiro here on Gaia for a while. I guess I will have to continue and let him catch up later because too much time has passed for not posting, time to put this thing in overdrive!))


(Inside Cristian's Mind "Nightmare"...)



I lay on the ground, supine, in a foliage surrounded ground. The smell of the bitter weeds fill my nostrils as I try my best to hide from an un-named horror. The empty sounds of midnight are all I hear as I lift my head slightly above the grass to get a better look at my surroundings. I was inside a Keep of some kind in a castle, though it looked like no castle I have seen before. The walls surrounded me and I could not see an escape route. I heard a blood-curdling roar the likes of which I have never heard before. I immediately put my head down, trying to bury myself, to disappear. But, it was to no avail, I heard the heavy footsteps of my killer approaching my once hidden position.

On instinct I rise to my feet, pay no heed to the terror behind me and run for dear life. There was nothing I could do. I felt its fingers dig into my upper back and shoulders as the massive arms wrestled me down like a bag of potatoes. Then, out of nowhere I heard a Kiai shout! It was strong and examplified all human strength and courage! The enemy let go of me and then-



"OHIO, Cristian-San!" Ryu yelled it out.

"Aw man! She was about to take her clothes off dude!" Cris was lying about his nightmare.

"Well I'm glad to see I came in time!" Ryu said thoughtlessly.

Cris burst out into uncontrollable laughter.

"What is so funny?" Ryu inquired.

"Ah, nothing Ryu-san, good morning to you to."

[ Message temporarily off-line ]

By this time Ryu and Cristian had left their staying rooms and entered the central room. 'And how are you two?'

Cristian was surprised to see Kiro over in the room.

"Wow, where did you come from? And why is your clothes dirty?" inquired Cris.

"I assume you had a good night yesterday being outside Kiro? Did you make sure no one saw you?" Ryu gave an almost accusing remark as to the activites that Kiro partook of during the night before.

Cristian saw the serious look on Ryu's face and knew that this was not a "happy" moment, he lightly tugged and fingered at his thickly growing beard. Man I need to shave!

He waited for Kiro's response and smelled miso soup and rice in the air. Ahh, breakfast

"Hmm, well, I guess we can leave it at that then." Ryu said, Its the first day and already he shows signs!

"Ryu, are you okay?" Cristian saw a look of worry on Ryu's face.

"Its nothing, I just had a long night is all. Come, lets eat." Ryu gestured them all to the "table".

This time Cristian waited for permission, before joining.

Yum, the chewy grainyness of rice in the morning, can't be beat!

"So Ryu," said Cristian with a mouthful of rice, "what are we supposed to do today?"

"First, since you are a Ninja, you must act like one. Don't speak in that manner" Ryu pointed at his mouth to emphasize. "You will be trained in the arts of course."

Cristian nearly spat out his food. "WHAT?! I am going to be a Ninja! A real Ninja!? ME?!" A look of bewilderment was on his face.

"Take heed, you will be trained vigorously, most Ninja are trained in childhood, but you must be trained in short time, as soon as possible actually. Because of that, it will be difficult, you may die, you will be tested in ways thought impossible by human standards." Ryu's face and voice were dead serious.

"I guess I'm not going back on my vacation then"

"Don't worry Kiro, everything will be smooth sailing here." Cristian humbly replied.

Ryu loudly cleared his throat "And so now here is your first task," Ryu added, "Go to your room, and put on the uniform that mother has given to you, and then return here and we will begin."

"Okay." How did she get into my room? I hope she hasn't touched my backpack yet!
Cristian left...

"As for you Kiro, you can do whatever you wish, but please avoid the villagers." Ryu pleaded for Kiro to remain discreet.

He awaited his response...

thats cool, like the thread states, we are in real need of actual doa characters, particularly ninjas at the moment, however, be what you want. so, if you wish to be bass, knock yourself out. (( not literally, of course))

" much appreciated ryu. as a matter of fact, i need to teleport back to my home in the transylvannian alps of romania and will be back sometime tonight. ill only have a few hours left of the night's darkness to gather my things from my home and return, so i must leave immediately. so, if there is anything else you need me for, please state so now ryu, and, christian, good luck with your training. " he's gonna need it

"ill keep an eye out, but i have no idea of what she would be doing in romania, but, there is always a chance. regardless, no one will see me, my little home is in complete darkness right now, so once i arrive, ill get the things i may need, and then return." kiroku fades away, followed by a bright flash of black light, and then he arrived on the outside of his home, torches lighting the way to the door. he walked into his small one room hut and began to gather scrolls, a few books, and a rather beaten laptop computer, (one that he salvaged from the debris of the german facility), which contained files vital to DOATech, as well, as brief files and records on tournament participants. he then stepped outside, took a deep smell of the cold transylvanian air, and vanished.
