Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Fuyu closed in on the beast to help the two other shinobi, he realized just how much of a bad idea this might have been. The worm looked like it had taken a few good hits, but also seemed to be quite pissed as it flung it's tail about without any true aim but a generalized one. It seemed to be mostly aiming for the two un-known shinobi, so he thought he'd take the attention away from them to give them a break if it was needed. He grabbed a rock and threw it at the thing, which caught it's attention. The tail came flinging at him with a lot of force, but it was also very slow yet heavy. Fuyu got ready then lept over the tail, just missing him as he turned his body in mid-air and then landed right back where he was ready to strike at the beast soon after.

With the quick set of hand seals, Fuyu started to concentrate on gathering his chakra to his hands and looked at the hidious thing. He was listening to the older male speaking while he attacked. His use of ice was awsome. His skill level was vastly superior to his own, that was for sure. He kept his ears open as he jumped up and crossed his arm across his body, sending a wave of sharp wind to the creature. Unfortunately after that last powerful, the creature dropped for a moment, tired but now out yet. The wind sickle just barely missed it's back. "crap..." he stated to himself as he quickly moved back and got ready for a second strike.

Sorain looked onwards towards the mountain, he could defiantly feel Sai's chakra now. Which meant that the original source of this disturbance is was not his brother at all, which also meant that his brother was more likely than not in battle at this very moment. Sorain sighed to himself, he figured that sai would be able to handle himself but for the sake of already being here and not wanting to leave without giving himself at least a workout Sorain decided to press on and in any case he had a few words for Sai, he wanted to know desperately why Sai left the country when they were so deeply needed. Sorain grunted to himself, he had no answer at the moment, he could not even muster up a paranoid conclusion, but he intended to find out something. He intended to meet with his brother face to face, he only prayed that Sai had a good enough reason, something good enough to prevent the punch in the face that he had coming to him.

Sorain ran at a decent pace up the side of the mountain, easily evading any obsticales that flew at him. Even without his Byakugan his natural speed was plenty for such things. It did not take him long before he found himself getting closer and closer to the top where it seemed as though there had been something blocking the path. Even from this distance Sorain had already deduced that what ever it was blocking this path had been laid waste before hand. Sorain slowed down as he reached the broken path and stopped for a moment to examine its surroundings. It looked like some sort of mine shaft but it was odd, the area seemed to be slightly charged, as if it was blown down by fire. Sorain crouched down and ran his fingers across a stray shard of rock, the suit that rubbed of it told him that the heat that was found here reached levels that mimic that of a volcano or possibly molten rock. Something that would not occur from natural flash fire or any sort of mining accident. No this was the direct result of an activated jutsu directed towards the shaft. From his eyes he could see the faint lining of chakra around the lingering flames. "Sai did not do this.." He said while folding his arms into his sleeves. Was Sai teaming up with someone? The thought alone almost sent Sorain into rage, how dare he be found here assisting some notice fire breather when he should have been back in Kirigakure protecting his brothers country?! Such betrayal. Sorain kicked a rock out of the way, "Sai.." he said with a frown over his face and entering the mine shaft. The moment she set foot inside he could already feel the chakra lurking blow, but at this current time he was unable to really process any of it. The chakras were fluctuating and not very consistant, even at its high it was not much a threat as far as raw power went. So in the end he had no real reason to rush, sai was there, and of course Sai would take care of everything. Sai, who was so strong and all mighty that he could take care of a bunch of random towns folk but could not protect the people of his home land in his absence. Sorain rotated his shoulders and limbered himself up, he was prepared for his reaction, he did not try and fool himself. He knew very well what was going to happen, the moment he saw his brother a punch would be thrown, one that he would feel no remorse as it went through the air. The only thing at this moment that troubled him was the fact that the only way to land that hit would be to throw it in full force, and he was not interested in sending his brother into the wall.. On second thought, that might actually be a pretty good idea. Sorain pressed onward.

Sorains nose was attacked by the foul smell of the dead bodies all being minipulated together. He threw himself down the mine shaft, sliding to the bottom before looking up and quickly throwing himself to the right. He did not catch a good glimpse of it but he since the attack coming. As the roll came to an end Sorain looked up with a raised eye brow. "What.. the..fu..?" He said out loud at the shock seeing the large human earth worm. Sorain chuckled to himself before letting out a short huff, "What the ******** man seriously? I swear I have been around for quite awhile but seriously, thats the weirdest s**t ive ever seen. Honestly, who makes a jutsu like that? " Sorain held his chest as he chuckled at the insanity of such a jutsu. The worm lashed out at Sorain right in the middle of his laughter. Sorain looked up at it before side stepping it quickly and continuing his amusement. "Seriously, where the ******** is sai at?" He said out loud.

Oasis dove right into the quarrel and wove through the striking limbs of the beast to make her way towards Fuyu, or at least her estimated location of Fuyu. However she didn't calculate the movements right and instead of making it to Fuyu she was caught by the flailing worm beast creature thing and hit by a heavy meaty limb and sent flying.

After dodging the worm, Soba had retreated to a ledge near the top of the chamber. He had take a break to restore his chakra when he noticed a familiar figure enter the chamber. He had seen the boy around the hidden sand village with two others. So this is one of the Hidden Sand genin that Lord Orasaki was referring to... I wonder who the other one is.. Not long afterwards, a girl with blue markings all over her body appeared at the entrance to the chamber. Oh, her! Soba said after recognizing the girl as one of the boy's buddies, then he winced and looked away as he witnessed the worm's tail connect with her body. Slowly opening one eye to see her fate, Soba was relieved to see that she was fine.
Another arrival caught Soba's attention. This person he had seen in history scrolls at the academy.
"What the hell is the Mizukage doing in a place like this?!" he whispered to himself. The man's man's voice echoed up the chamber walls. Soba faintly heard a faint 'Sai', but that was quickly drowned out by the jests and retorts the Mizukage had made towards the jutsu used to turn the village folk into the creature they had been fighting. The worm creature thrust its head at Mizukage Sorain, who had his right arm pointed towards it.
A blinding blueish-white flash illuminated the area, filling the chamber with the sound of many howling wolves. The worm creature fell limp, and the lord of the Water Country looked at those who were just fighting, asking if he'd stolen their kill. Sai appeared behind him, and began to strike what seemed to be a casual conversation when the worm began to move again.
This time Sai performed the powerful lightning jutsu, turning back to the Mizukage.
"Oi, Sorain. Do me a favor? You and the rest of YA GUYS... Take care of those three ******** over there. They're feeding this big beastie it's strength. Don't worry, I'll keep it's attention long enough so it wont bother with ya~" Soba looked at the three ninja who stood a their respective platforms. They were obviously aware of their presence, but were too busy holding their seals and chanting. He could now see what Sai meant, and understood his role.
"Knock the cornerstone from its place, and the entire foundation falls." With that, Soba began running across the chamber wall to the closest of the three platforms. His Divine Gear Fist was still active, and the gear knuckles began to whir again as the fire element chakra began pouring into the mechanical arm.
Dropping quietly onto the platform, Soba approached the ninja and tapped him calmly on the shoulder. As his finger came in contact with the fabric of his shirt, an invisible force propelled him backwards. Soba instinctively tuck flipped in the air, allowing his legs to come in contact with the wall, then kicked off.
The ninja turned, still chanting, to see what was behind him and saw a mechanical fist coming right for his face.

Aya walks a little faster as she sees the forest was coming to and end, while they were walking though it she would yell out for them to jump to ether side, if some debris was large enough to worry about, or got close enough to them. As she and Phaeton jumps out of the way of a large bit of debris, she ended up landing on some slopping ground and slipped over, sliding down the hillside, she stopped by hitting a large tree on the edge of the forest on the side near the foothills that lead to the mountain.

Aya was left a little dazed and somewhat confuse on her location, walking sluggishly as she looked around, from how she was walking she look a little drunk, she looked around for Phaeton as she was slowly gaining her senses again, Aya looked around and then heard a explosion from near the mountain, she blinked a few times as she activated her Byakugan and saw the area was fulled with chakra. With the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, Aya could see some people had made it to the mountain and were near what appeared to be a mine shaft, from what she could see, walked towards it thinking it was Phaeton, she still wasn't able to tell chakra signal apart from one another, she stopped searching with her jutsu and her eyes.

As Aya moved towards the mountain she could see new chakra signals appear, as began moving up the mountain, then a loud roar could be heard from the mine shaft, Aya felt a creepy aura, she slowed her climbing and looked up, activating her Byakugan again, from where she was she was able to see into the mine shaft a little bit, she was able to see a few body's, as she looked at them, she knew that Phaeton would be trying to help those people if there could. Climbing a little higher she was getting close to the mind shaft she had feel chakra coming from, as she got closer to it she was able to sense someone new had enter the cave.

Aya was soon near the mine shaft she looked at it, and then looked around it, as she did she saw that there had been some type of barrier around it, that had been blown apart, as she looked at the debris of the barrier, it didn't seem like much and almost anything could have blown it apart. Slowly Aya was still looking at the mine shaft, it didn't seem like it would be safe to enter it, she was also very scared of it, the sounds that had come from the cave were scaring her, she then move in toward it only to be hit with the disgusting air of the cave.

|| Stage 4 ||

As Aya's nose was fulled with the stench from the cave, she got weak in the knees and feel to the ground, dry retching for a little before vomiting onto the ground, before the smell got worst as the burning flesh smell was added to the mix, flooded out of the mine, making Aya retch again, she had already emptied her stomach with last lot of vomiting.

Aya rolled so she wasn't in the way of the smell anymore, she takes in breath of the slightly better smelling air, she then got some a cloth out of the bag she had, and wrapped it around the lower part of her face, covering her nose and month, she remembered classes back in the academy, on how smells work and on how one could remove them. Aya move getting a bit of cloth in place, she placed a small amount of chakra into it, she was using it to filter the air so she could at least move into the mine, without dry retching. After a few more minutes she pushed off the ground and got to her feet, she use her Byakugan and the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, she saw there was some type of fight going on inside, and there were 9 chakra signals within the a larger part of the mine.
