Welcome to Gaia! ::

Soul walked out of the diner and to the hotel where he gathered up his supplies. He was careful not to trip off any of the bombs. After that he went back downstairs. After making it out he regrouped with the others. What a mismatched group they were, a pair of twins.. a short kid, a colorful guy.. and an err.. big girl. Sure the last part was bad, but it was a honest observation. Soul began to look at their numbers.. there was now five of them. Five against seven was a lot better than the odds they had before. If Sai and Sorain are as strong as Soul thought they were then this shouldn't be as difficult as he feared it would be. Soul himself wasn't entirely sure of his own abilities yet.. he had let them out a time or two, but for the most part was afraid of losing his self control. Now standing with the group Soul was prepared to roll out and get this over with. He began to stretch and limber up when a thought hit him.. We know which direction they are coming from, but I think I may know a better way in figuring out how to reach them.. How would they know where we were? How would they find us and what's stopping them from going right passed this cave... That intruders footprints.. you said that they would be tracking him here shortly.. what if we tracked them backwards..

After waiting in the igloo for a few minutes, Novvus looked up as Kyu jumped through the top of the ice structure. The blue skinned boy leaned on the pillar and inquired about his bending abilities, which he thought were ordinary techniques.
"Just a technique my master taught me." answered Novvus, partially evading the answer. Grandfather told me never to reveal the secrets of my abilities, and that's not what i'm planning on doing.

Once fifteen minutes had passed, and no one else had no one else had shown up, Novvus got up with an exasperated grunt. He gathered his belongings and walked towards the entrance tunnel.
"Screw making a battle plan, Kyu. These guys are taking too long, and we are wasting valuable. From here on out we play this by ear! Let's go." Before heading outside, Novvus bended a thin layer of air around his body to keep warm.

As he made his way to the others, the dark-skinned boy felt a gust of wind come out of nowhere. Dark clouds swallowed up the moon, sending them all into a bliss world of gray hues. Almost suddenly, a blizzard began to rage around the group. Throwing up his arm to protect his face from the biting sheets of snow, Novvus addressed the team.
"Alright guys, this is it! We're going to head out under the cover of this storm. I trust that Kaji will be able take out the traitor Aburame on his own. It is now our job to engage the Orasakai twins and take them down, along with their dwarf accomplice Sennyo." Novvus turned to face the direction that they were heading in earlier. "The plan is that there is no plan. There's seven of us and three of them. Choose your targets and have fun! Move out!" With that, Novvus dashed into the howling blizzard toward the place that would soon be filled by the many colors of battle.

Sucking in his breath deep into his chest, Sai ducked his head into his chest and fell into a sprinter's position as the crown of his head was aimed directly at Novvus, the rest of his team laying in the area behind him as the boy continued to try to brave the powerful blizzard. It was too late for them now, they were unaware of him and his team being their already and the fact that they were currently surrounded by his ice mirrors. They had yet to even figure out that the blizzard was artificial, as it was Sorain who was fueling it with his chakra to rage on through their pathetic camp site. But it didn't matter any more, it would soon be over, if it wasn't over already with Sai's very first move.

Letting out a icy breath, Sai's head rose up as his eyes flickered open and his crimson red eyes peered through the blizzard to see all of his targets, their bodies hardly visible but their chakra source well enough in view for him. Pushing off the snow encased ground, Sai began to run towards the group and the entrance of his mirrors. It was not long before the boy actually seemed to be skating over the snow as it's surface seemed to ice over immediately and his body almost seemed to be hovering off the ground now. Soon the boy was speeding past his mirrors, his body full tilt foreword as his ice marbles were fully formed beneath his feet and were propelling him foreword. From behind him a raise of ice was blasting out several yards in either direction so that it's body connected with the already formed ice mirrors and spiked out in various directions.

A grin was plastered straight on Sai's face as he zoomed right past Novvus, time seeming to slow down for a single instant as he neared, reached and passed the boy. For that moment, his crimson eyes met with the boy's own and his wolfish grin spread wide in a taunting fashion as his hand was raised to slam into the boy's face, only to miss with just enough room for the chilly breeze of his passing to whip across his face. Soon after the ice that shuttled after him would cover the entire area that Novvus was standing in and continue it's deadly path towards the rest of the opposing group. It was only after Sai had passed all of them, his ice now spread high across the areas that they had been standing in before, that Sai came to a skidding stop.

Still hovering with his ice marbles beneath his feet, Sai turned around to face the destruction he had created. His ice was several yards above where the actual ground started and it had spiked out violently in every direction, the tops of his ice mirrors barely visible within it's fray. "Tch... Shatter..." Sai chimed out into the howling winds of the blizzard as he brought his hand up and snapped his fingers. Cracks quickly formed against the ice's face and spread across rapidly, before all at once all the ice that had been created shattered apart into thousands upon thousands of pieces, anything and everything that had been frozen within broken along with it. A wide smile spread across Sai's face at the scene, all the ice pieces glittering as they flew about in the air, only to reconnect with each other and begin reforming into new structures slowly.

Aizen’s warm breath caught the edge of the frozen wind surrounding him. he couldn’t help but chuckle in excitement for this would be his first official fight. ”Hmm I suppose I should be happy that your the first person to be serious enough to take me on...Although my own teammate wanted the Pleasure I suppose you’ll just have to do. Though I would have preferred Kyu or Hibiki for your looks aren’t quite as appealing or as interesting as theirs are...None the less let’s skip the small chat and go straight into it. My name is Aizen Aburame, and I’m here simply by my own free will. To put myself in the orders of someone else would simply compromise my shinobi way and with that I just simply can’t allow that to happen.” His eyes seemed to be in a Jokester manner as his smirk began to widen with excitement. ”But let’s not be too serious, I am after all only here to have fun! So entertain me or prepare to lose you dirty boy and mutt!”

Due to the blizzard Aizen was able to keep his Clones hidden for a periodic time, just as he finished speaking they came into sight. Now all six bodies of Aizen were surrounding the Feral boy and his mutt. Aizen wasn’t wasting anyone’s time as he was planning to end the battle with a big first move. He sighed just because the bodies began to laugh in a circle, this would no doubt drive his enemy into insanity. ”Hope I haven’t caught you off guard little boy... but I don’t have time to wrestle with you... I must find the others and give them my respects....It’s been rather...I don’t know if I could say pleasuring... more so uncomfortable having to fight against you...and your ... Barbaric features.” One of the clones yawned in an attempt to get a rise out of Kaji as Aizen’s hands lifted upward only to be placed in front of him, the clones doing so as well.

Finally they all spoke at once as their final hand seals struck. ”Feast your eyes upon the Guardian of water! it‘s appearance isn‘t much but the power in which it provides is magnificent!” rising from all six bodies of Aizen a Water spirit in the form of an Otter rose up as it swished back and forth finally settling upward facing it’s opponents Kaji and Kurosai. Blue chakra began to feed into Aizen’s bodies as the otters eyes glowed blue in response to aiding his efforts. ”Now for the real battle to start!” And with that Aizen’s hands began to work their magic once more, forming hand seals as a rapid speed. Liquid honey technique! combined with The Great Fisherman technique! Within seconds after the final hand seal was done Aizen’s mouths had shut just before a puking like action was done, with only moments to spare Aizen and his clones threw their heads into a upright position to angle their shots to the perfect angle, it wasn’t left overs that came from his mouths. Solid and thick forms of liquid honey shot from his lips and jaws only to be thrown onto his opponent. Once upon his opponents the Honey would slightly harden as it would stick their bodies to the ground as the more they struggled the more reactive the Sludge like Honey became.

”And now for my final act in tonight’s show! If you hate slimy insects I fear you’ve been put into the wrong circus act! Ahahahahaha! Death Leeches Technique!” With Aizen’s arms Shooting forward as if he were throwing kunai came giant large Leeches in which stuck to any surface in which they landed upon and started to feed upon the chakra sources. “I hope this will teach you to be so rude to me...you young arrogant boy...” as a final note the Clones as well as Aizen waited to see the result of their attempts upon the feral boy, would their techniques come through for them and caught Kaji and Kurosai off guard or would they two mutts come full force with a trick or two up their sleeves.

Takera had watched as everyone went inside the igloo. He climbed down inside only to see the fire they started in the igloo. Takera's eye twitched as he just stared. Fire... In a structure made of ice? Takera sighed and proceeded to move to a wall inside the structure and lean against it, but just then Zeru had entered the igloo. Takera just stared for a moment. His face gaining features as if horrified at the thought he was here. After a moment he spoke out. "Nope. No sausage fest for me, Fairy." Takera tried to exit the structure of ice, but just then the entire structure was blown away.

Takera found himself leaning on the ground, his left leg caught under some debris from the broken down igloo. Oh crap! ..Come on.. pull free! Takera thought as he desperately tried to pull his leg free. He tried to raise himself up some from the ground to a semi-standing position, but to no avail. Before he could do anything else he was blasted with ice that knocked him back across the ground releasing his leg from the ice debris it was caught in.

Takera laid there for a second. He wasn't feeling too good. Takera opened his eyes. They began to change swirling and forming into his Sharingan. He leaned up into a sitting position and then scrambled to his feet. "Okay! Now I'm pissed!" He evaluated the situation. They were in quite a mess. He assessed that Sai had attacked, but realizing he had taken the brunt of the surprise attack, he fled from Sai's direction and towards Zeru. He slid up right infront of Zeru, placing his back to him. "This looks bad. I don't see Sorain though. What's going on?
