Welcome to Gaia! ::

{I forgot to roll in my first post >.< sorry dudes}

Kaji let out a growl as the Aburame's clones closed in around him. Something inside of him snapped and time began to slow around him as Aizen made some cocky speech. The feral boy could feel his body tingling as his chakra rushed through him like a river. Kaji's eyes went wide and he fell onto all fours as the wolf spirit inside of him stirred from it's slumber. The feral boy was sucked into his own mind again and this time the landscape was different. Everything was barren as he made his way up to the temple on the hill. There were no strange plants on dry and barren ground, and the stairs crumbled beneath his feet. When he reached the doors they opened as soon as he touched them, a wave of heat washed over the feral boy. As Kaji pushed on through the intense heat he caught a glimpse of the first lock on the gate sealing the spirit inside of him. It was already open, and as he stepped towards the second lock it dropped to the ground and shattered.

When Kaji came back into reality he saw the sticky liquid coming towards him and let out an ear shattering roar. Suddenly there was a shockwave of electrical energy traveling out from around the feral boy and the sticky goo splattered against the barrier. The sickening sound of bones cracking and grinding followed soon after as Kaji's face began to contort. His chin elongated and his lips stretched across his face. The feral boy's nose fused with his upper lip and elongated as well. His forehead sloped back slightly as the pseudo snout finished forming. Fur sprouted out of the feral boy's skin, and burst through his clothing. Each strand of fur was like a steel needle, and his tailbone elongated into a tail as he howled in pain. Skin grew around the tail as fur began to sprout from the very bone itself. Kaji was grazed by one of the kunai but slapped the leech away as his chakra cloak condensed into a super concentrated form around his body.

The boy now looked more like a wolf than a man even though he still stood on two legs. He opened his eyes and they had turned a feral orange in color. Kaji let out a snarl as he slid down onto all fours. "Now...you...DIE!" He roared sounding more like an animal than a human.

{aizen please put the damage that would be done when the attack strikes somewhere in your post. I'm not going to go through all of the math for you. When you post the damage total I'll edit Kurosai and Kaji's end chakra and stamina to account for it.}

Kaji let out another massive roar as the kunai slammed into his companion. His fur began to crackle with electricity as stared the aburame in the eye. The feral boy's gaze burned like fire, and was dripping with hate and malice. His facial expression and appearance began to resemble a demon as he let his chakra flow into his claws. Bright blue and white sparks began to fly from the tips of the razor sharp talons as the feral boy's body shook with rage. He tore the leeches off of his companion in a fit of rage, and then turned back to face his opponent. The smirking and cocky expression of the aburame made Kaji even more furious. Lightning arced from his claws and burned the ground beneath him. He rushed at the aburame in a zigzag pattern leaving only white clouds of snow powder in his wake. His speed was incredible and he was completely consumed by fury making him a very dangerous opponent.

As he appeared behind his opponent he made a quick slash with his electrically charged claws. He forced electricity into the air in front of his claws and if that charge made contact it would scramble Aizen's nervous system and his senses. Kaji then appeared in front of the Aburame and lunged for the artery in the Traitor's leg. If his claws made contact they would sear the flesh and sever the artery leaving the Aburame to turn the snow red with his blood.

Hibiki and Kuro raced towards the scent of the Aburame as the rest of the team followed suit, that is, until Novvus announced for everyone to backup for some odd reason. The Inuzuka didn't notice until then, that it was late in the night, and he was shivering quite visibly. His sweatshirt was obviously not keeping him warm enough as his teeth even began to protest by chattering. Looking to his side, he noticed his ninken wasn't doing any better.

Several minutes, which almost felt like hours to the duo, and Novvus exclaimed he was finished with setting up a shelter. Furrowing his brow slightly, but not letting up with his mischievous grin, Hibiki growled through his chattering teeth, "Setting up shelter at a time like this? Being pursued by countless Kumo Ninja for being perceived as a threat and he thinks of building an igloo?" But it seemed Kuro was the only one who had heard him, as a howling wind almost blasted the short Genin off his feet. As he tried to recover from the attack from the Land of Frost, he noticed a lightning cloaked, feral-like shinobi sprint right past the dome.

"You guys can have campfire sing-a-long time, but I'll do something more logical, like keep look-out?" He, once again, growled, but all for naught as most of the group went inside. The only reason the Vulpine duo staked out just inside the entrance, was so that the wind could stop numbing their limbs. In fact, as soon as they had stepped inside, a threatening blizzard was born in mere seconds. Does Novvus have some weather tracker gene that we don't know about? Hibiki mused to himself as he stared out into the wild, white, winter-like landscape.

However, his peaceful viewing of the viscous terrain came to a fast halt as Novvus illogically declared that the blizzard, in the middle of the night, in foreign country, with no plan, was a good time to strike and that Kaji could take care of their ex-comrade in the same conditions by himself. The Vulpine and the Inuzuka exchanged exasperated looks, not believing he was being serious, but a blur rushed past them and into the blizzard. "Idiot!" Hibiki shouted, rage now fueling the fire behind his words. The two got up simultaneously and bounded after the dark-skinned shinobi, trying to catch him before he makes a fool out of himself.

Then again, just as Novvus flew by him, someone flew by Novvus, and with him, a wave of what seemed to be ice began to carpet the already frozen tundra. The pseudo-twins exchanged quick glances before doing an about face and sprinting away from the icy expanse rushing towards them. Placing one hand over the other, Hibiki whistled. On queue, Kuro jumped in a diagonal upwards, and jumped off of Hibiki's hands. From the coordinated force, the fox was able to land on top of the man-made igloo, to be safe from the avalanche of ice. However, the inuzuka was still in trouble.

In a last ditch effort to escape the unknown attack, Hibiki ran towards the trees and use a chakra-boosted jump to grab onto a sturdy looking branch high above him. Maybe if time allowed it, he could just hang a while until it subsided? It seemed he was correct as the flood had ceased moving. With a sigh of relief he had let go of the branch and was ready to channel chakra through his feet to not slip on the newly created ice. However, a voice could be heard echoing through the area. Shatter. And with that voice, came a horrible pain. The ice below the now falling Inuzuka shattered into millions of razor sharp particles in a blast of cold wind, sending the Genin flying upwards.

Landing harshly into the snowy ground with now various wounds across his body, Hibiki muttered a curse before looking up at his attacker. Not much can be see through the blizzard or over the snow he had fallen in, but enough to know that he was now in combat with the twins, or at least one for now. With a groan, the Vulpine Genin stood up from the snow and shook his head at Novvus' words. Not exactly what he should be saying. Just because we are fighting 'bad guys' does not mean we should play by their rules. He thought, despite the urge to get revenge for the ice-like attack. More importantly, where's Kuro? Hibiki now looked around frantically in the blizzard before him performing a series of screeching barks, a 'Vixen's scream', to signal for help.

Within the white blanket that covered the world for a freezing slumber, Sai hovered in the air silently. His hands were nonchalantly held inside his pockets and his white blond hair rippled behind him almost invisibly in the white background. For the duration of the succeeding attack, the boy simply kept his eyes pressed towards the sky above. There was a full moon out some where behind the howling snow that raged on through the tundra.

With a soft sigh that caused a thick, white fog to billow from his lips and hang in the air momentarily, Sai turned his eyes to the dark skinned boy that he had zoomed by before. Sai was most curious about him and the one currently fighting Aizen in the background. Out of all of the group, they were out in the middle of the raging snow storm and it begged the question why? The feral like boy in the background, Sai could formulate the conclusion of holding of Aizen but why this one... He was surely shouting something out to his crew as he rushed head first into the blinding storm, but what it was Sai hadn't caught. A shrug rolled off his shoulders, it didn't matter..

"Hm?" Sai muttered softly, his voice eerily however sounding out the entire plain as though the blizzard created by his brother was his own voice. For a moment Sai looked at the dark skinned boy as he spoke about pleasures, trouble, something of surrender and resorting to brute force. A shrug once again rolled off his shoulders as most of the words the boy spoke were stolen away by the blizzard. Maybe the kid didn't understand that a blizzard was most definitely louder then him and Sai wouldn't actually hear most of the things he was saying. In fact, if it weren't for his Sharingan allowing him to see their chakra through the white blanket and dark night, the blizzard would have been hindering to himself as well. Ignoring whatever Novvus else Novvus had been saying, Sai allowed his crimson eyes to continue surveying the area for what damage he had caused and weaknesses he had exposed.

All of them had been blasted away into the cold snow from his attack at very least, some worst then others but the fact remained that their was snow on them and with their body heat it would melt it to a painful water. That was a bonus. There was boy standing between where the igloo had once been and the first shinobi, he seemed unharmed but what was curious was their was a large amount of chakra accumulating at his eyes. A doujutsu, possibly another sharingan user or someone from the Hyuuga clan, either way not a person he wanted actively fighting for a while, last thing he needed was someone calling out his positions. His eyes were drawn quickly to another bit of movement towards the first, it was another shinobi with the exact same doujutsu, brothers, cousins, definitely the same clan and emotionally close? A sigh fell from his lips again, why couldn't Aizen's information been more extensive... But at least where it lacked information, it revealed clues. The man was at least capable of discerning obvious clan traits, so the fact that he hadn't mentioned any Hyuugas was enough of a reason to eliminate them from the choices and assume the two currently huddled together were either Uchihas or from some other clan with a doujutsu he didn't know about.

Beyond them, struggling from and around the rubble were three others. The two seemed to be hurt, one mildly as some of the others were and the other dangerously as he slipped and swayed to his feet. Sai had an eyebrow raised at them, one of them had a technique that was affecting their entire body, it was minor... but it was curious. Sai would have to keep an eye on that one to see what changed about his abilities or appearance as he lost chakra. However, his attention quickly switched from the two to the final shinobi. This one was preparing something, his hands were moving around his arms and his chakra had flickered for a single second. Sai's teeth gritted tightly, so now he knew which one was going to be a pain. Out of all, this was the only shinobi actually using the slight down time to prepare himself as Sai evaluated the situation... It was always the one that used actions rather then pretty, gallant words in the middle of battle that were the serious foes.



With his grin still plastered against his lips, Sai turned his attention back to Novvus again. "O.. k!" He said simply, not sure what he exactly was saying O.K. to but figured it would probably put the shinobi off at the almost cheerful acceptance to whatever he had said. With a wave he was sure very few would see, Sai's body floated backwards and away from their sight, as he blended in with the white snow before dropping down to the icy floor below. His frozen playground had finally finished forming and now it was time for phase two.

Melting into the ice and zipping around within it's icy frame, Sai held two fingers to the small headset and spoke into it softly as to make sure that if any of the group had the ability to even hear him through the blizzard, within the ice and also had the state of mind to strain to hear, they would have an even higher difficulty listening in. "Sorain, do you read me? The field is set already, there are seven shinobi total, one of which is currently separated from the rest by Aizen. Two of them have a doujutsu of some sort, possibly Uchihas but could be something else entirely, I can't see them clear enough. There's a dark skinned boy, I want to assume he's the captain as he's taking charge and spewing nonsense, but I doubt that Kiri would send such a novice as the captain, it's not logical. Either way he's standing on a pillar, easy for a snipe, if you can take him out... Also, I saw him create some ice mirrors earlier to deflect my attack, so we can be safe to assume what clan he's from.

The two with the doujutsu are approximately twenty feet behind the one on the pillar. They seem to be some what close emotionally as they immediately went to each other, take out one and we're likely to disrupt the other's concentration.

The other three are located around where the igloo was before. One of which seems to have been badly hurt and is being helped by another. They seem close as well, so if we finish off the weakened one, we'll weak their team's mental status even faster... but before all of that, keep your eyes on the one standing alone. I don't know what he's doing but out of all of them, he seems to be the most cool headed and focused. He's preparing something and I don't like it, if you can make sure he's taken out as fast as possible. I'm going to try and keep him open for an attack, have Soul set up the field as soon as possible, he should be able to keep everyone located once he does, that'll make our lives a lot easier." Sai said softly before removing his hand from the head set and continued to move beneath the surface of the ice as he kept his eyes moving amongst his targets to see if they were up to anything.

Aizen watched as his plans were forming in front of him, he hadn’t expected the Feral boy to be so fast at his techniques as for when Aizen released his Liquid attack the young feral had that of his own tricks and thus lightning surrounded him and his mutt only to disburse that of Aizen’s attack. Aizen was shocked to be truthful. Damn it And here I thought this kid was the most dumbest of them all... without hesitation the child like beast went upon a rampage towards Aizen, his claws were conductors for lightning as he had leapt out only to slash Aizen across his body, Aizen fell to his knee as he tried to obtain his footing once more, suddenly a spark of electricity went through his body as he cried out in pain. Aizen was stuck upon the ground with no way of getting up, his nervous system had been attacked and thus it paralyzed him completely.

”Damn kid....” He spoke as his teeth gritted against one another and he lungs began to give out short coughs of agony. ”To be honest.... you don’t know the entire story...in fact you weren’t even informed on why the twins were being hunted....take me to Kyu...and I’ll explain there....I surrender to you....seeing as I can’t move and you’ve obviously have the upper hand on me...” Aizen wasn’t in much of a situation to be bargaining with a feral annoyed boy but it was all in which he could do. If they kept this up he would surely be killed. Finally he fell onto the ground as his face sunk into the now melting snow before him, the Electricity was hot enough to melt the snow, if this continued it would eventually burn him into submission.

Novvus stared at Sai's obscured form through the blinding sheets of snow the blizzard created, then looked around at the damage that the nonchalant boy had created. From his vantage point on the ice pillar, he could see only for a few yards without being hindered by the howling snowstorm. All around him the tundra lay partially destroyed by Sai's man-made avalanche. The igloo he had constructed just a few minutes ago had collapsed, creating a noticeable depression in the snowbound terrain.
"s**t! The others!" The dark-skinned boy had forgotten that Zeru, Takera, and Kyu had gotten into the igloo after he went out. I have to find out they are...

Taking one last look at the twin, Novvus jumped off of the ice monolith. As he fell toward the snow-cover earth, he maneuvered one of his mirrors so that it floated below him. Novvus raised it so that it touched his feet, then bended the ice to create ice boots attached to the mirror. A second later the opposite side of the mirror touched down on the steep incline of the ice formation, filling the surrounding area with the sound of ice scratching against ice. The dark-skinned boy used airbending to accelerate his decline, and once he neared the base, bended the snow to create a ramp that would level him out without causing injury.

Once he was on the snow, Novvus sped toward the destroyed igloo. The depression that it had made was now only a few yards away.
"I hope they're okay..." he muttered as he came to a stop at the rim of the depression. On the other side of the depression he could see small bursts of dulled yellow light where Kaji was engaging Aizen. The blizzard made it hard to hear anything, but he could make out a diminished feral roar being carried by the wind. It was filled with so much malice that for a second Novvus thought back to a legend his grandfather had once mentioned, a tale about a creature that roamed frigid lands known as Sasquatch.

Clearing his mind and returning to the matter at hand, Novvus separated himself from his ice mirror and had it join the others that were hovering around his body. The dark-skinned boy slid down the wall of the depression, coming to a halt ten feet lower. The wind layer he had generated earlier was beginning to warm him up a little but the biting cold kept him from getting too warm. Novvus pressed forward for a few feet then the sound of whimpering reached his ears. To his right he saw Hibiki and Kuro. Both were injured, but the ninsune had taken on more damage and was bleeding. Digging into his side pouch, the dark-skinned boy produced two of his Senzu beans and gave them to the vulpine duo.
"Eat this. It'll help you feel better." Novvus looked around at the wreckage of ice shards. Somewhere inside of this caldera of snow was Kyu. "Zeru and Takera are somewhere out there," said the dark-skinned boy, pointing past the rim into the storm, "and it's too risky to go looking for them since we are in danger of being attacked while blinded by the elements. They're going to have to find their way to us somehow. For now we are going to have to look for Kyu. Do you think you can find his scent? I'll set up a defensive perimeter around us with my technique."

Novvus drew his left fore-and-middle fingers over his left eye and created his ice spyglass, then made it hover ten feet above them. Next he commanded his mirrors to float to the perimeter of the depression, emulating a dome that provided partial cover from the blizzard. Finally Novvus hopped into one of his diamond-shaped mirrors and entered their hazy blue dimension, while his spyglass afforded him a view of what was going on outside.
