Jinshui

As arguably the southernmost landmark in the Riverland, Jinshui holds some strategic significance, which is why a great defensive fortification has been built here; a fortress situated atop a huge cliff formation overlooking the Hanguri Gulf. A number of smaller forts sit along the riverbank, within signalling distance of the fortress. The surrounding area is more rocky than most of the Riverland and so is the sea- and riverbed there, making transport by sea risky.

Coming from :

Lena sat on a chair across from what seemed to be the Captain of the ship, she had her feet on another chair and with her right hand fiddled with a golden coin she'd taken an interest in. It was flipped between her fingers and spun on the spot, she played with it enough to make light scratches on the table. The man across from her was getting visibly irritated as his fingers tried to massage his head as he wrote things she could not see down. He looked up suddenly at her.

"CAN YOU JUST!?" He pauses, "So tell me... why were you just in the middle of the ocean?"

Lena was quiet, she had stopped messing with the coin now. Her fingertip balanced it up against the table, she pressed harder until the pressure was enough to unbalance it; snapping it against the wooden surface the coin thuds. A silence is shared between the two of them, thoughts working in her mind until she finally has something to say.

"Look if you explain to me the reason we may better understand your intentions and convince me you aren't a threat."

"I..I uh. I've just been apart of a battle, many deaths on either side. I needed to clear my head."

"By drowning yourself?"

"I knew what I was doing."

"A War then? The fallout of Chungsu has been bad, who can this war possible be between?"

Lena was hesitant to reveal the two sides, especially the details of her. But a chance to badmouth Takauji? Very convincing. She tightened her fist and bit her lip, it was stressful, but she didn't want to fight her way off this ship without risk of hurting anyone.

"We fought off a man named Takauji Ashikaga, his men came swiftly and with surprise. You don't know you have a lot, until you lose it."

The man before her's expression was shocked and then sad, as if the name she had mentioned had sparked something and then the words she spoke after summoned a bit of sadness. Though he had to mention something, she could see it in his eyes.

"Doesn't surprise me if you've heard of Takauji."

"Yes. Though none of us expected he would strike so quickly, yet it makes sense to grab the lands that are free whilst you can. I'm sorry that his ways are... Violent. Maybe it is best that you come to our Fortress and talk to our Lord Gakemaru."

Lena nodded. To keep these men happy, sure.

This post marks the beginning of my (our) mission using these storyboard elements:
-Meet with a major faction representative

Summary: After Lena Stowed away on a Ship in the Hanguri Gulf, she is to go to Jinshui's Fortress and meet with the person who is in charge there and explain herself. They are to talk about their knowledge of Takauji Ashikaga and maybe work something out over the Country's future. Lena must remain in the people's good books if she wants to get anywhere with them.



The ship was starting to approach land, and so the Captain was signalled to leave his quarters so he was their for the approach. Lena followed him out of the room, sticking by him being a good idea so no more suspicions grew within him. He took the wheel and she just watched out to their destination beside him. There was rocks everywhere in the water, seemed like a bad idea to come this way unless they knew a way through. Which they did, he expertly handled with wheel and steered the ship around the large rocks with skill and subtlety.

The ship got closer to the cliff-side and everything began to get a lot clearer from Lena's perspective, thought this wasn't new to the sailors as you could tell. The way the kept working and marching on the boat like they weren't about to crash into a land. She saw it, the gap between the rock, you wouldn't be able to tell until you got passed the treacherous sea terrain. They ship managed to graze passed the rock and enters the cliff side entrance, tilting and turning so that it didn't crash into the wall. Until the space opened up and there inside this encased area of rock was a small dock with a couple of ships ready anchored to the pier; the one they were on turned on it's axis and slowly comes to a halt against the wooden slacks making up the Pier it was assigned too. The sailors worked to anchor the ship and the soldiers lined up to march off the deck. It was pretty good architecture to create something like this that works in such a tight spot, but there was enough space for the ships to leave one at a time and anchor.

Lena was beckoned off the ship with the Captain, he took her away separately from his men and addressed her quietly so no one else could hear;

"It's gonna be a bit of a walk till we get to the Main Fortress to meet our Leader, there are a lot of us here that make up the smaller fortresses and main fortresses, almost like a Village of Soldiers. I just ask you to keep by my and try not to act suspicious so I don't get asked too many questions."


Lena looks around, she doesn't answer and nods. The man gets his bag and throws it over his shoulder in response, nodding back as he leads the way through the inter-cliff harbour. They go further into the cave, most of the crew stay behind but the soldiers follow. The cave leads to a large corridor that starts to look more structurally appropriate to a fortress, a bunch of wooden steps and shafts lead upwards probably to surface level which they ascended. The Captain was correct, it was gonna be a while, she didn't realise the scale of the fortifications here, they had to go through a lot of rooms and meet with a lot of people - it also seemed like he had to convince people to allow him to go further like it was some community with a monarchy. Lena was tagging along, but she was getting restless and a bit bored - however eventually they had made it to the Main fortress. They walked through into a hall room, looking originally like an dining room that had been fashioned into some kind of throne room - at the end of the large space there was an intricate wooden structure created, a throne with splintered wood spiked off the top and surrounding it like it had been crudely made but there were delicate patterns etched into the base of the throne and the steps that led up to it. The Captain who took her in on the ship spoke quietly to her as they approached surrounded by guards.

"let her speak first."

The Captain knelt down in front of the Woman who sat laid back in the throne. Lena stood by him and didn't bow, even if the Captain tried to insist she did, the threaded woman remained standing and just looked at the other. The woman in the seat looked tough, her posture wasn't ladylike at all and looked as though she had recently thrown herself onto the chair - she grins at Lena and positions herself so that she was leaning forward on the throne now to get a closer look; she found her interesting.

"What?"

The Captain flinched at her for being so rude, patting Lena's shin.

"Oh Nothing." The Self proclaimed Queen finally replied. "I was just eyeballing you, you're gorgeous."

Lena didn't respond, if she was honest the woman opposite her didn't look too bad either. The "Queen" got whispered to in her ear, her attention momentarily taken off the two in front of her. Her concentrating look became a grin as she turned her attention back to Lena, with a flick of her wrist she spoke again;

"Tell me about this Takauji Ashikaga you informed my underling of."

Lena looked around, she didn't know what these people were capable of right now and she didn't want to start a fight, guess she would really have to open up now.

"He's a Tyrant. He thinks because no one has rivalled his "Right" to rule, that he has that right to begin with - probably a former Chungsu General that thinks because there is a power vacuum he can close it and anyone that opposes him will be steamrolled. Not likely however, he's trying to grip the Tea Peninsula through any means. Assassination, Bribery, Open War. We managed to halt him at Shinramoto, but at great cost."

"What's your name?"

"...Lena."

"Did you ever meet with Takauji face-to-face?"

"No. Just his subordinates, either he or I'd be dead if I met him face-to-face."

"Well the reason I asked you all this is because he reached out to me. A Man of action."

"I recommend you decline any alliance he tries to make with you and instead oppose him. He's a monster that will just bring death to your lands and crush your heart. The man just wants power, he cares not for anything else and won't stop at nothing to get what he thinks is rightfully his."

"But don't you think Allying with him is wise then?"

"...What do you mean?"

"He's a strong man with a lot of sway and I'm ready to expand. Jinshui is the perfect place to conquer next, it'll give him a foothold on the Land of Fire and a fortress to be safe in, I can also be his Queen... However, I like you Lena - you interest me. And if you tell me this man is bad and that I should ally with you then this would put me in a very difficult situation. We should talk more in private."

The self proclaimed Queen stands up from her seat and walks around the side of the wooden throne, he beckons Lena over to a room behind this large one. The Threaded woman hesitates and then follows, walking passed the throne she examines it's intricacies.

Entering the door at the back of the room Lead Lena through a short corridor to another door that took her into what seemed to be someone's private quarter's. As she passed through the door closed on it's own behind her, examining the wooden door it was as intricate as the throne was. A link here or something? Lena turned back, her eyes resting upon the woman who lead these people. She was moving around her quarters, taking off her arm braces, jewellery and hair pieces went back to where they belonged in her room. She then turned her head, looking over her shoulder, hair loose against her back. Her strong aura suddenly turned into lust.

"I haven't introduced myself properly have I, Lena?...My friends aaand potential allies call me Angela Bliss"

Lena watched as Angela spun around on the spot, body now facing her - she had removed her chest plate already and it was placed on the side. Underneath that was a loose fitting garment that was a velvet red - the small crack between revealed the skin of her chest straight down to her bellybutton before being cut off as the cloth meets again in the middle. Angela had multiple straps around her waist and lower pelvis, upper thigh which used to holster weapons and pouches but she had removed them when she first entered the room; her pants were tight and black, her feet bare as she'd removed her footwear.

"Men can be vile people, especially when they want something... something like power. But women can be just as bad, right?"

At this point she'd walked around Lena, her hand gliding across the threaded woman's waist until she reached the opposite side of her and finished with her mouth awfully close to her ear. Lena didn't know what to say in response to this, it was a difficult position she was in as this woman was just exerting her vulnerabilities all over her which surprisingly worked as a tactic apparently. That might just be because she didn't know where she was emotionally.

Angela's hand reached across Lena's belly and gently moved across the width of her well toned body, her other hand rested on the shoulder furthest away like she was about to pull the threaded woman into a hug. The contact was strange to Lena, it had been a long while since she had been so close to another person so intimately.

"Let me be honest, I was going to work out a deal with Ashikaga as it seemed like the best option. That was until yoooou turned up and told me about everything, your fire and your strength, I can tell you have a determination and resolve about you. Like I said to begin with, you're gorgeous. You've also changed my mind and convinced me otherwise, if Ashikaga is struggling to even take the Tea peninsula then the whole of the Land of Fire is going to be much worse for him - so now I'll have to think about it and arrange something. But first... you."

It's not what Lena expected when she came to meet with the Leader of Jinsui's fortresses, Angela's fingers traced delicately over her stitches. Lena hadn't looked directly at her since arriving in her room, but it was getting harder to not give in to this feeling that felt... good.

"I have to g-go, I can't stay - I have to go home. But I want to know the outcome of your decision. Just know the result could mean we're enemies and I can't have Takauji get a foothold. Anywhere."

Lena looked directly at Angela who was right beside her because of what she said, but that was a bad move, because now she had her staring straight back at her. Lena was confused, why was this woman so interested in her so suddenly. Lena went to look away, but Angela had already got her hand on her face, after tracing the stitches up to the side of her mouth.

"You don't even know me."

"I would like to get to know you."

"Why, I'm no one intere...."

She was interrupted, it was unexpected and not something Lena would usually allow. But she had been so worked up recently, and stressed out and suddenly someone gave her attention that was good, making her body heal emotionally which in turn made her less angry. Lena was interrupted by a Kiss, it didn't last very long as it was pretty one sided. The Queen beside her moved her head away and looked up at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Nothing?"

There was something. It was a moment of just staring at Angela's lips. Then Lena acted, her hands grabbing the underside of the Queen's thighs and lifted them up around her waist, which prompted a small yelp and carried her over to the bed. Obviously things got heated from there as Lena did return a kiss.

[video=youtube;YixAD9GIAuY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YixAD9GIAuY[/video]​

A while later the two had bonded over a lustful couple hours. Lena adjusted her boot and stood up from the bed in Angela's private quarters. The self proclaimed Queen straightened her hair and put on a top, she then escorted Lena to the door back into the large room they first met in, there were only two guards this time, they stood at the bottom of the plinth that held up the throne and Lena was pretty sure they were grinning. She ignored it. She felt a bit better. She was escorted to a balcony, it was massive and half oval looking over all these smaller fortresses and the Hanguri Gulf. It was a nice view to have for a Queen.

"You are VERY good at 'Diplomacy' Lena."

Lena had a little red haze on her face. Angela was leaning against a column that was in the middle of the passageway to the balcony, she had much more air of confidence around her than Lena did right now. Lena whistled a loud tune into the sky. It took a couple moments but then into view Songbird was diving into view, it' wings spread open as he came to a stop just above the large Balcony and then landed on the railing. Angela was in awe and walked slowly over to the bird, raising her hand up to touch the summon. Lena nodded to Songbird as he looked towards her, in response he lowered his head towards the hand and allowed the contact. Lena had climbed upon the bird at this point letting Angela pet her summon for a moment before beckoning Songbird to raise his head back up again.

"I'll be back to hear your decision."

"If I told you I made it already would you stay all night?" Angela crossed her arms and smiled up at Lena.

"I have to go back to Shinramoto."

"You didn't say no."

Lena couldn't help but let slip a student smile as she shook her head. Typical. She clicked her teeth and the bird fell back off the balcony and flew down, swooping upwards into the air and off into the distance pretty quickly. Lena looked back to see Angela leaning against the balcony railing now, watching her leave.

MISSION STARTS HERE
  • Help a latent friend [ S ] - custom

Coming From: https://animebase.me/threads/mugenichiba-065.755882/#post-22042369
Located in the grand defensive fort on top of the mountain range overlooking the Hanguri Gulf, Zapp desperately searches for a sailor in order to continue his journey at hand. Jinshui had within it the closest port in the area, and being known for its rocky terrain including its sea bed, Zapp needed a man who knew the seas like they did the back of their hand in order to maximize success. Hopping from tavern to tavern, store to store, etc., Zapp gathers intelligence from the locals who pointed the shinobi in the direction of both Boyd's and Mr.Kanziki's ship yards, the two most prominent company's within the landmark. Finding Boyd's office was easier than finding his counterpart, and therefore the Younging quickly made his way to their main office, only to be turned away for lacking funds. Now a little on edge due to the conflicting predicament of dealing with the rude workers at Boyd's corporation, Zapp eventually finds Mr.Kanziki himself having tea outside at a well-known plaza surrounded by various shops. Walking up to the man, Zapp invites himself to his table and has a seat before addressing the man, disturbing his reading of a newspaper. Lowering the paper in his lap, the elderly man folded it before picking up his tea to sip on it, occasionally blowing on the brew from time to time, as he watches the shinobi before him dead in his eyes.

Imma cut to the chase. I need an expert sailor like you to-

Nope! He says while putting down his tea, before picking back up his newspaper.

Look man, I don't want to seem rude or anything but this is important to me, and-

And so what! You think you're the only one that matters!? You think your problems out weighs the world's!? That's what's wrong with you young, dummies of this new generation! You think you can just, walk up to me and tell, ME what I, GOTTA DO!!
The elderly man with glasses ends, breathing in and out aggressively as all the nearby bystanders watch and stair, including Zapp himself.
After calming down moments afterwards, Mr.Kanziki gets up from the table after noticing that he had accidently spilt his tea in anger, leaving his newspaper and Zapp behind. That was definitely some misplaced anger, right there, something else must be bothering him. The Youngin thought to himself as he sat astonished, but after seeing Mr.Kanziki gain some distance, he sprang up and give chase. Corner after corner, street to street, Zapp followed Mr. Kanziki while asking aloud for him to wait and talk but the old man had refused, and after some time the Youngin caught up and begin reasoning with the man.

I'm very sorry for that back there Mr.Kanziki, and as an apology I'll go and find you some leaves of that tea so you can brew it yourself. Let me introduce myself, my name is Zapp, and I'm not here to be a bother to you.

Tsk, well you coulda fooled me kid, you're probably working for Boyd, aren't yah!? Look Zapp, I don't wanna break it to yah but my shipyard's currently closed and I can't do nothing about it. My life's work is being reduced to nothing before my eyes!

Let me help you then! Zapp says, interjecting in all sincerity.
Seeing that, Mr.Kanziki finally stopped walking right before a corner and looks the shinobi in his eyes.

Kid, believe me when I say this, but, you're better off staying far away from me. You must be new to Jinshui or else you'd have known my predicament and...........Do you smell smoke!? The elderly man says while looking at Zapp in honest curiosity. After seeing a nod of confirmation from the Youngin, Mr.Kanziki runs around the corner before screaming out.

MY HOUSE!!

After hearing his cry Zapp would follow around the streets corner an noticed an isolated house amongst several trees on fire, down a block where all the other houses were untouched. Seeing Mr. Kanziki run into his burning house, Zapp's eyes widened in shock as he thought to himself how crazy this old man really was. Dashing into the house himself, Zapp screams out for the elderly man while using a B ranked water stream jutsu to extinguish the flames from room to room. Outing the flames in a bedroom, Zapp would find the old man underneath a burnt wooden beam and rush to his rescue. The object was to heavy for the Youngin who quickly improvised and used an A ranked iron sand jutsu that allowed him to create a large arm of the source, that steamed from his overcoat, which he used to hoist the beam to the side. Turning the burnt back Mr.Kanziki over from his stomach, he would see the old man smile as he held something to his chest with both arms. It was a picture, and he rose it up to show Zapp, a picture of him and a middle aged woman.

That's my daughter,...........she died 10 years back...... Mr.Kanziki says with hard breaths in between words.

Crazy Old Man!! Are you alright!?

Yeah, ............... I just can't ................. feel my legs..............


Zapp would then exchange his look of worry to that of anger as he thought, who would do this. The moment would then be interrupted by the sound of glass breaking as four explosive tagged kunai enter the room and lodge into a wall simultaneously. The Youngin's eyes would widen as he swiftly moves his hand in time to manipulate the already present iron sand into a protective shell around the two still in the room. The explosion was large and sent the round shell through the house, which crumbled amongst other things, sending the shell crashing into the city's stone wall that stood across the street. The shell would break letting the iron sand fall to the floor as Zapp held Mr.Kanziki in his arms, both facing where the house stood. Zapp turns to look at the elderly man who cries in silence.

Who did this to you!?

It was Boyd's hired thugs, the Gully Brothers.
Mr.Kanziki says while sniffling from time to time. There is no one bold enough to face the duo who are camped out at my work, so I can't even get them off my shipyard! Then I have a lawsuit against Boyd's Inc., but there is no evidence of their connection, so that's a dead case and a waste of money. They are taking everything from me out of jealousy. I was his only competitor and after challenging him in business for so long, he's gotten greedy like there isn't room for the both of us- The old man says before falling unconscious while still holding tight onto the picture, showing its sentimental value.

After receiving all the information he needed, Zapp rose up and quickly rushed Mr.Kanziki to the hospital for treatment, and after finding out that his damages weren't fatal nor permanent, the Youngin made his way to his next destination with a look of rage on his face. His destination being Mr.Kanziki's shipyard!

Dashing down the mountain and through the river lands of Jinshui, Zapp eventually makes it to a deep part of the riverbank that held a building with ships. Reading the sign "Mr.Kanziki's Shipyard Co.", the Youngin's determination would once again flare as his resolve to take down the Gully Brothers grew, and upon entering the facility he would immediately see his targets who acted nonchalant to his prescience. The brothers stood before numerous wooden square crates stacked high with a tent and lit fireplace besides them. The one brother to Zapp's left stood crouched down with a smirk on face, he had a smaller frame than his more ripped brother who stood to Zapp's right leaning against the crates with a 2m, thick iron club in hand. With both members being mid.range distance away from Zapp, the Youngin starts smiling as he folds his arms across his chest, unseen due to his overcoat.

So are you the two tough guys that make a living off of extorting old men!?

Do you know who you are talking too right now!? Hahaha! The bigger brother says while violently shifting his body composer in response, creeping forwards off of the crates with his club dragging behind him in one hand while the other waves with every malicious syllable. He would stop after advancing 5m.

Yeah, I know exactly who I'm talking too! I'm talking to the two no good BUMS, standing here before me! BUMS, who would resort to killing an old man and taking everything he's got just for what!?? Is this how you generation thugs act for fame now? Pathetic-

I'LL KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND YOU F-$@r$# PIG!! YOU THINK THAT OLD MAN GOT ANYTHING WORTH TAKING!! WE DO WHATEVER THE CONTRACTER TELLS US YOU ASS-

WHAT CONTRACTOR YOU LIAR!! WHO WOULD HIRE YOU WEAKLINGS??

Arghhhhhhhh! H-

Jayhu!! Can you not see that he is baiting you to get something........What is your play pig?? I seen you earlier this morning when we attacked that old clown. You want revenge? No! Or else you would've sneaked us, so what is it, man? Talking about why we did it and sh#t, hahaha! Maybe it's not the why but the who......you think we're afraid to tell you. Boyd's sent us....hahahahah, not that it matters much, cause this is where you die......
The man ends while standing fully erect
before cracking his head to the left and right as his bigger sized brother looks back at him laughing. After the man finishes saying what he does, Zapp smiles and takes out a small tape recorder before pressing it to stop, he would then secure the recorder in his tool pouch in exchange for a kunai that he takes out and throws towards the smaller built brother before dashing forwards.

That's my line, punk!!

The slender Gully would easily dodge Zapp's kunai with a sidestep as he stood further away. He would then wave a few hand seals before slamming both hands on the ground triggering lightning currents to emanate from his hands that shoot forwards on the floor moving swiftly across the battlefield. This would cause a cylinder shaped formation of lightning to form 2m around Zapp and the ripped Gully who had just entered short range of each other. Noticing the formation of the lightning structure while closing in on the one brother, Zapp attempts to manipulate his iron sand overcoat to attack, but had no success as his sand fell to the ground after leaving a meter from the cloak. Tsch!? Is it because of the lightning!? The Youngin thought to himself as he faced the ripped Gully who smiled maliciously as he noticed the wonder on Zapp's face as his jutsu failed. With the speedy man already too close for comfort, he would get the drop on Zapp who was left defenseless against a series of 4 strikes aimed for various spots of his torso, sending the Youngin sliding back towards the edge of the clearing. Stopping himself, Zapp shakes his head around as he catches himself before spitting up some blood while he breathes heavily. That definitely broke some ribs... He thought as he now faced the ripped Gully who charged forwards for another attack. Running forwards to meet him, Zapp would flick his one hand forwards sending fourth an A ranked intangible blade of wind that his target was forced to dodge, thus rearranging his forwards movements allowing Zapp to pass him by.

Got'cha! Zapp says to his close range target as he pivots his body around back towards him while skidding backwards across the floor a meter or so. He would then dash forwards towards his buff target, at a lowered position, while manipulating a spike of iron sand out of his overcoat that he uses to plunge into the torso of the one brother while rising upwards, striking the heart.

YOU FOOL!, YOU LET HIM KILL YOU!?? YOU KILLED MY BABY BROTHER!! The slender brother shouts in a blind rage. While withdrawing the spike from the man's chest, reassuring his chances of death, the Youngin would turn with a smile on his face only to notice that his opponent had been enveloped with numerous shaped markings over the entire course of his body. He, HAS A CURSE MARK!?!?!? Zapp thought to himself in astonishment.

I'm going to KILL YOUUUUUUUU!! The last Gully says before dashing forwards at near blinding speeds while lightning begins to emanate from his hands. Zapp would take on a widened battle stance as he braces for impact, and when that does happen, the Youngin uses his taijutsu prowess to ward off several lightning charged finger strikes, via redirection, while taking damage from the strikes that were just to fast to keep up with, which was more then he could block, and in the end, the Youngin would be sent flying backwards filled with holes after receiving a sidekick to the gut. Smashing into the side of the shipyard's massive shed, Zapp slowly gets up to a knee as various parts of his arms, torso, and thighs sit bleeding out from small finger sized holes in his body. Wiping the blood from his mouth the Youngin stands fully erected, leaning with his back against the wall for support, with less than 1/4 of his natural health. With his vision beginning to blur in and out, he knew he didn't have much time left, and knowing that he couldn't waste anymore stamina or risk collapsing, the Youngin had to end this ordeal in one move.

HAHAHA!! The sight of you bleeding like this eases the pain a little bit for me........but I can't let you die just yet! You see, I wanna make you experience a level of pain that hell couldn't even show you in the afterlife. The last Gully says as his CM activates to level 2, transforming the man into something short of a slender, tailed monster. Charging his gray scaly hands with lightning, Zapp smirks in response and waves two hand seals causing a shroud of iron sand to release from his overcoat outwards covering all of short range around him. The Gully monster would then dash into short range at blinding speeds, unable to be tracked by Zapp, who can do nothing but await his faith. Hearing nothing but the numerous sounds of blunt impact to a body, Zapp would suddenly be face to face with the extended finger of the Gully brother who stands in an attack stance, frozen and covered in blood, dripping from head to toe. The man's grey toned body would digress back to its original form as he loses the last bit of life within him and drops to the ground.

It worked.....hehe. The Youngin says to himself as he slides to the floor leaving a trail of blood on the wall from his pierced body. It had seemed like the new jutsu he had developed had worked. It was a shroud of iron sand that carries unique properties when faced with lightning within its realm. The jutsu is designed to penetrate from all angles sources of foreign lightning, and the fact that those two brothers specialized in that field made the jutsu even more valuable to this fight where the odds were heavily stacked against him.

After taking some time to recoup, Zapp makes his way back up to the hospital within the major fort where he then checks himself in. Some time would pass with the duo in recovery, but after he and Mr.Kanziki regained a functional health, the two would meet again for the second time, but this time on jovial terms. Giving Mr.Kanziki the evidence he needed to prosecute Boyd's company for their malicious deeds against him, as well as clearing his shipyard from the two squatting brothers who made his life oh so miserable, Zapp had gained a friend in the elderly man who had now felt indebted to the Youngin, and so his mission was complete as Mr.Kanziki agreed to help him sail the seas!

Having hit land, Hades continued onwards. The air around him felt thick, and the energy around him felt like it was in turmoil. Something felt off, but now was not the time to stop, however, Hades continued to Monitor the world around him as he ran.

Coming from: here

This Post marks the Beginning of my Mission:
- Infiltrate an enemy's base (3)
- Custom: Break through a Fortress' defenses (4)



A lone horse approached a Large Gated Wall head on, seemingly charging on it's own against this large defensive structure. It was dark, but the guards could just about see this silhouette approach them rapidly. They signaled to each other and more guards appeared on the wall after a bell was rang. The Bell was constantly rang like it was trying to be used as a deterrent to ward off the oncoming horse.

Mila shifted on the back of it, no longer straddling the creature she crouched upon it - Holding Samehada out to the side, ready. The bell constantly ringing to warn of her approach. Stray arrows from the Wall Curtains were fired, it was dark so it was hard to hit her, the first couple of missing - but she guided the horse to make leaps to the side when an arrow was on target and she continued to avoid the shots, even batting them away with Samehada in some cases. The walls got bigger and closer and as she closed that distance coming right up to the gate, the horse skidded to a halt and she jumped. The ringing bell stopped.

Mila spun above the gate, her feet landing on the wooden planks used for the sentries of the wall to patrol on the battlements. The guards look at her from either-side and before one can react she swings Samehada into them, pressing him against the parapet with the sheer size of Samehada, the metal of their armour crunching against the stone. The guard collapses to the floor, Mila quickly spun around to face the otherside, to the other guard.

A Spear was thrown at her, she used the flat of Samehada to cover herself and it hit against it, bouncing and spinning off the large blade. Mila brought the blade around and charged forward swinging it around smacking the guard against his raised shield, aimed for around their head area. They didn't anticipate the strength, throwing him against the parapet, but they don't stop against it and instead get thrown off the edge and spin over it. A scream is heard as they fall.

Just as Mila finishes that attack, she feels something wrap around her ankle. It's sharp and she winces in pain and is immediately pulled off the Wall Walk. She hits the ground with a thud and is whipped off it into the air, Angela's infamous guards were here. Mila cursed as she was thrown into the air and slammed into the ground.

"STAND DOWN!"

Mila gets up from the floor, dusting herself off with one hand casually. The skirmish would be a little harder from here, she observed multiple opponents. The Royal Guard that grabbed her standing between her and the inside of the gate, the guard she slammed against the parapet slowing getting up and another royal guard a few meters to their side on the wall walk as well. More guards were coming from the Wall Curtain, but she could not tell how many.

With no clear answer coming from Mila, the royal guard on the ground thrust her blade towards her, the whip sword shooting at her. Mila spins to one side to dodge the oncoming attack, using her free hand to lift Lena's head by the hair - her sharingan swirling into view at the Royal Guard that just attacked her, putting the woman into a genjutsu that had her cover her face and bring her sword back, she swung it about to seemingly swipe at things that were not there. Insects maybe?

The Royal guard on the wall walk used their whip sword to attack Mila, but she used Samehada to block - the whip wrapping around the greatsword. Mila quickly used this against her, knowing what was going to happen as the whip sword was pulled tight to try and disarm Mila but instead she used this tightness of the whipsword against the royal guard by swinging her greatsword overhead and slammed it into the ground that was behind her. This would whip the guard off the battlement and like how Mila was earlier, she was thrown into the air and brought to ground level.

There was a pause in the fighting, the guard on the wall walk leaped down and placed his hand on the first royal guard, she snapped out of whatever Genjutsu she was caught in and shook her head, he nodded at her. The wall walk now had bowmen on it, three in fact all with arrows knocked aiming at her. The two royal guards were stood and ready and slowly walked towards Mila. The one ordinary sentry joining them with his spear up.

A moment of tension, before it began again. Arrows were looses and blades were swung at her in the form of whip swords, she used Samehada to bat away the whip swords as they came at her with two consecutive swings before they could impede her. Whilst she made these swings she also moved from the spot; this causes the arrows to miss, almost dancing in a heavy way with this giant sword she manages to dodge the first flurry of attacks.

Mila quickly arches back and a whip sword thrust just misses her, she stumbles back into range of the sentry who thrusts his spear at her. She ducks under it and thrusts her greatsword into his gut in like an uppercut motion, bringing him up over head and driving him down with the tip of Samahada straight into the ground with some force. She channels her water chakra through the blade into the ground as he was essentially pushed into it. Water shoots up all around Mila, acting as a defense from all the arrows and whip swords that came for her, all of them repelled and stopped in their tracks.

Mila lets go of Samahada as it had pinned the sentry into the ground in such an uncomfortable way, lifting the blade out would free him. She performs two handseals and as the water falls from around her she shoots out a thick viscous liquid whipping her head from side-to-side so that this liquid covers a larger area, covering up the entire wall. It lands on the bowmen and pins them to the battlements and it's parapets. The royal guard between her and the gate would also be caught, but only to the ground as there was no wall directly behind her.

Mila spins to face the last royal guard who was already on her, the whipsword just missing Mila's head as she cocks it to the side - her cheek getting sliced open. Mila lifted Lena's head at the same time, the sharingan staring at the guard, but the guard seemingly is not phased by it, swinging her arm down so that the whip sword that had extended passed her cheek hits Mila and then begins to wrap around her neck. She gasps and grabs at the whip to try to give her some freedom, but it was pulled tight and she was suddenly hostage.

"It ends here. Any last words before I take your head?"

"Let me explain myself..."

"Ha! Let me hear what you have to say!"


The guard then falls to her knees and the whip goes slack around Mila's neck as she falls asleep. Mila pulls it from around her and begins to reel the whipsword in until she has it all in her hand. She retracts it all into the blade form and then thrusts it towards the last captured royal guard who just broke out of the syrup capture fields. The blade wraps around her sword arm and stops her from further attacking with it. The sword slowly begins to retract, the guard sliding along the ground as she is slowly brought towards Mila. There was a tension between them as Mila just looked at the guard in the eyes. When they got into a close enough range she threw a punch at Mila, it was simple enough to dodge as she dropped the whipsword and used that hand to clutched her throat, lifting Lena's head to be right by the guard - she stared at it with such unease and then when it spoke. Fear coloured her eyes.

"Tell me everything." The Sharingan swirled as she spoke and then the guard went limp and also fell asleep. In the genjutsu she'd be probably be replying to that, either telling her 'everything' or putting on a brave opposition, either way it didn't matter. It was over. She was passed the first gate of Angela's fortress, and they'd know - Lena wanted her to know. Mila tied Lena back to her waste.

She dragged the two royal guards to the sentry, took his pulse before removing the Samahada keeping him pinned. He was alive, but unconscious - probably drained of chakra too. She removed Samehada and pulled him out of the hole she had made of him in the ground and tied them all up. The bowmen on the wall were still pinned to the battlements from the syrup field, all struggling but with no luck.

"It's going to be harder not to kill anyone from here."

Lena sighed.

"You would have a body if you just reaped one of these."

"I... I don't want to kill where I can help it."


Mila nodded in response to Lena's moral struggle and went to the gate, opening it and letting her horse through. She got on it and rode towards the fortress.

Jutsu Referenced

( Doujutsu: Genjutsu Sharingan ) - Eye Technique: Copy Wheel Eye Illusion
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: C - S
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15 - 40 ( Equal Cost for Each Additional Turn Sustained )
Damage points: 30 - 80
Description: This broadly refers to a range of genjutsu performed with the Sharingan. It has also been shown to be performed through the Sharingan's higher evolutions: the Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan. By establishing eye contact with a target, the Sharingan user traps them within a sustained Genjutsu of the user's creation. Sharingan Genjutsu are stronger than other Genjutsu, being difficult to break in comparison due to the sinister chakra powering them. When utilized through the Mangekyo Sharingan, these Genjutsu are enhanced and deal an additional 40 damage. However, the time dilation effects and similar effects/ability of Tsukiyomi and custom variants cannot be replicated through these illusions. When used through the EMS, these illusions deal an addition 50 damage. In the case of Supplementary and none damaging use, these Genjutsu can be exploited for one of various purposes, such as: causing temporary paralysis in the target, forceful extraction of information, relaying memories, removing Genjutsu placed on the target by others, and controlling a target's actions. Controlling a target's abilities in limited to Summoning and other none Creation/Ninja entities. The 3 Tomoe Sharingan can forcibly controls Basic and Ancient Summoning's actions as long as they sustain this technique. MS can affect up to Mythical Contracts while EMS can effect even Legendary Summonings. This control is limited to the ability to control their physical movements with limited access to their ninjutsu, using only skills related to the Summoning itself.

In the event of Bijuu, Mangekyo Sharingan users are able to use their MS to cast powerful enough Genjutsu that even Tailed Beasts cannot break their hosts from it, being ensnarled as well. These Genjutsu can also seize control of a Tailed Beast by temporarily severing its connection to the host without the need for eye contact. If the Jinchuriki has not entered any Chakra Shroud state or higher, the user can cast a powerful Genjutsu that severs their connection and prevents access to the Bijuu as well as any of it's skills for 3 turns. Should a Chakra Shroud or Incomplete Jinchuriki transformation occur, the user is capable of preventing full access to it's Bijuu Skills for 3 turns by suppressing it. This presents itself in an inability to utilize the Tailed Beast Bomb variants, a Bijuu Skill such as Sand or Coral as well as access higher transformations. Should the user have EMS, this control is extended to blocking access for double the time and should a Complete Transformation occur, the user is capable of suppressing it's form and ending the Transformation in it's entirety and forces the health drawbacks to trigger as well as a reduced max health and chakra by 25% from fatigue. However, Bijuu Suppression can only be done by sustaining the technique at the cost of 2 moves per turn and prevents Sharingan Genjutsu for 5 turns.
Note: While powerful, the effects of Sharingan Genjutsu only last while the user actively sustains the technique, preventing usage of other Ninjutsu at the same time. This indiscriminately prevents the use of chakra in other techniques outside of basic Taijutsu only.
Note: When used in the NW, this can be used to tame a wild Tailed Beast and allow the user to summon it in an enraged state for 4 turns, only being capable of using Sharingan and non chakra enhanced Bukijutsu during this time, Ninjutsu being barred while controlling the target. This beast is summoned at max powers and has access to it's Skills and one Bijuu Pathway, determined through Official Roll in the NRP Discord. This ability can currently only be done by Madara Uchiha in the Ninja World.
Note: Can only be used once per turn. MS and EMS use can only be done once every 4 turns.
Note: Requires Eye Contact and activation of 3 Tomoe and higher Sharingan.

( Suiton: Suishinshū ) - Water Release: Water Quaking Pillar
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user jumps into the air and then stabs his sword intothe ground, where he causes water to burst up around him and creating a pillar of water to rise up in the air repelling the enemy.

(Suiton: Mizuame Nababara) - Water Style: Starch Syrup Capture Field
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: The user, after performing the required handseals: Ram → Tiger, spits out high-viscosity, chakra-infused water, aimed at a surface of wide scope. This is a stream of sticky liquid which can be used to form an adhesive trap that can inhibit a person's mobility. One can effectively reduce their enemy's area of activity with this technique, and has the effect of being able to take complete control over the battlefield. The normal scope of this technique is normally just a few metres, but if prepared, it is also possible to make an entire pond of starch syrup. Being caught in the technique can be avoided by channelling chakra to one's feet allowing one to walk upon it uninhibited, beforehand.

( Doujutsu: Chouetsu no Shunmin ) – Eye Technique: Transcend to Deep Slumber technique x2
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user will use their Sharingan to cast an illusion upon the opponent by looking them into their eyes; this illusion makes the enemy fall asleep but makes them think they are still watching the opponent without realizing they have fallen asleep.
Note: Requires direct eye contact with 2 Tomoe Sharingan and up.

Mila now approached the Fort, it was tall and it was like a looming monster that towered over her as she approached on horseback. She didn't know if Lena just wanted to make some kind of statement storming this fort head on, calling Angela out - making sure she knows she can't hide.

It was still dark, torches lit in windows all along the fort's facing side - she could see movement, activity and then she saw flaming arrows coming at her - they were being used to light her up, get a good view of her for the other archers as large barrages of arrows begin to be let loose from the fortress. She crouched on the horse again, concentrating as she used Samehada's immense size to just bat multiple arrows and shield the horse from arrows dropping on them like an umbrella. She heard a whistle in the air and a slam, high impact artillery, ballista arrows slamming into the dirt around her. She was suddenly thrown off her horse as another slammed right at their hooves, throwing her forward from the momentum.

Mila slammed into the ground, gasping. She groaned and rolled on her front, picking herself up as stray arrows landed around her. Neither her or Lena expected the artillery, and the horse paid for it. There was still quite of distance between her and the fort. She performed a handseal and expelled a large volume of water from her mouth, sweeping Samehada up as she is lifted into the air and manipulating a wave that she would ride forward, using it to move side to side to avoid large chunks of arrows and giant ballista arrows. It was a lot harder to hit her with no ground to buckle.

Lena aimed the wave to strike against one of the lower windows of the fort. It was barred, but it didn't stop her. Lena had an idea as Mila lifted her head up and aimed. She swiped a few last minute arrows away with Samehada whilst Lena expelled wind from her mouth. A Powerful stream crashes into the window, pushing the arrows that were loosed out back into and tearing through the bars allowing Mila to just dive straight in. She lands on the floor, water pouring in with her splashing against the ground as she slid across it, swinging her blade whilst water swirled around Samehada she slashed it into one of the bowmen and sent him flying into a wall as water arced out of her blade and crashed into him. At the same time Mila threw Lena's head at the other bowman and she latched onto his neck with her teeth, growling as she caused him screaming pain.

Mila ran at him and kicked him in the head, Lena letting go just as the kick landed. The water user caught the head before it landed and she cradled Lena carefully. She was officially in the fortress, she could hear distant shouting outside the room as commands were barked. She had seemed to have caused a ruckus.

"I'm not too familiar with this fort."

"Me neither."

"HUH!?"


Mila exclaimed, staring at Lena's head - she knew Lena had been here before and thought when storming this Fortress they'd have amore understanding of the layout. Before Mila could scold her she was interrupted by the door slamming open, three guards at the entrance, looked inside but didn't seem to see anyone. Just as one of them stepped in a set of legs swung from above and kicked him in the chest sending him flying back into the corridor, following by Mila.

She swung Samehada into another guard stood there, knocking him out straight away as it struck his head and she dropped, sweeping the other off his feet. Bringing Samehada down on his gut, he made an oof sound and groaned, holding his stomach. She ran down the corridor in the opposite way of the shouting, and arrow flew over her shoulder and she cursed; turning a corner as two arrows hit the door she was approaching before turning. She carried on down the corridor, finding the next nearest door to force her way into, unlocked. It seemed to be a small storage room with another entrance on the opposite side, she left the room through that getting a little deeper into the door. Mila tried to find somewhere to lay low whilst the guards rushed about trying to find her, but it just ended up being her running for a while, taking out groups of guards with Samehada when they finally caught up with her. The Fortress was massive and almost like a labyrinth.

She breathed heavily as she spoke, "They always seem to know where we are, I can't keep fighting them forever."

"We need to get caught."


Mila stopped running.

"You sure?"

Guards appeared in the hallway behind her and then in front of her, all with weapons up and aimed at her and began to slowly close the distance.

"Last chance to change your mind, Lena."

"We're deep enough into the Fortress now. I'm sure."


They tackled Mila to the ground, she was roughed up, but mostly okay as they restrained her - taking Samehada from her and a little horrified by the head attached the her. She was taken away.

This post marks the beginning of my Mission.

- Convince an enemy to fight with you (4)




Her eyes slowly opened, blinking her blurred vision away as her surroundings came into proper focus. As she regained consciousness she felt a new sensation, things felt different to before she lost consciousness. Lena looked around carefully - she recognized this room; it was a throne room, Lena had met Angela for the first time in the past. Fitting that she would be reunited with her here once again, for the first time after the cataclysm.

Lena realised now she was being cradled in Angela's arms who was draped across her throne like she was posing for a painting. She felt Angela's thumb slowly go back and forth over Lena's cheek gently. It was then Lena understood why she felt different, she was no longer connected to Mila, no she was now connected to Angela. Her threads lead to her.

"We once really liked each other."

"..."

"We could've done so much... I regret that I betrayed you every day."

"Angela..."

"I don't deserve your forgiveness, your mercy, you should have let me fade away into dust and forgot about me. Lena."

"...Where is Mila?"

"She's safe."
Angela looked down at Lena, cradled against her chest. Angela stood up from her chair and showed Lena the room. It was massive and yet it was completely empty, devoid of any other presence.

"Just you and me. As it should have been." Angela sat back down in her chair, she held Lena's head in such a way that she was now sort of embracing her, cupping her cheeks. Lena knew why Angela showed her that they were alone, so that they could speak more vulnerably to each other. Angela always put on a stoic act for her Royal Guard, her subordinates, but she always used to open up to Lena.

"Angela, why would you make me your enemy again?"

"I wanted to be here, feel what it was like to rule, maybe try to regain my independence again. I wanted you to never wake up again... but you picked up a loyal one didn't you, that Mila..."

"You wanted to be a part of me, remember?"

"I know... I..."

"What you did to Alicia."

"I wasn't..."

"It doesn't matter! You threatened to hurt her, even if it was to keep me in control, it was still a mistake. Just like it was a mistake to think I'd never return. Are you going to keep me imprisoned here, as a head forever? Are you going to kill Mila and Yae when she turns up?"

"I should."
Angela looked sternly at Lena before it broke and became softer, a frustrated groan escaping her lips, "But a small part of me was glad you attacked my Fort."

Lena smirked, "You remember the day we first met?"

Angela's eyes were wet, yet she managed a smirk, "Oh, you bring that up now after I threatened you?"

"Sounds like the perfect time to make you blush, throw you off a little?"


There was a little red in the Self-proclaimed Queen's cheeks, "Lena, take this seriously."

"You later said you loved me."
Lena's smirk faded.

"When I was dying in your arms." Angela looked away from the head that how no other choice but to look at her, "I don't know if I feel that anymore. Yet. I still feel a devotion to you, I still feel like I must redeem myself for the betrayal and the danger I put you and Alicia into. I wanted to run away after the Cataclysm split us all apart, ignore all that and escape all ties. Yet I still find myself bound by this station."

"Jinshui can be our little safe-house, we don't have to abandon this station and with me you could travel and be just that little bit free-er."
Lena raised an eyebrow, "I promise to try and give you all the necessary freedoms to feel like you aren't trapped. You're my group of fighters, I need your strength like you need mine to keep you going, you're also my friends and I care how you feel, it's going to be hard to work together if we're not fully in it."

Angela's eyes went a little wide for a moment. Friends? Even after all these years, Angela did not think Lena would forgive her for what she did. Yet, she was so easily labelled as a friend by Lena.

"What about her." There was a lot of emphasis on 'her' and Lena knew exactly who she was on about.

"She is different. I also have no idea where she is, but she can't be allowed to be free. She's not right." Lena tutted. "You need to help me get her back."

"So you say we don't have to abandon Jinshui as a station? How, when I'm not here who is going to run it."

"You don't have high ranking subordinates? Them. And once we find Zeri, Alicia and Juliana - they can come here, You know Zeri is an excellent leader and we can build something here again."


Angela thought for a bit, her mind coming up with all sorts of possibilities. She had seen first hand what Lena, Zeri and Sado had built in Shinramoto and how that flourished to become a united City near the Golden Sabbath. It was entirely possible to do it again, and who knows who else they may pick up.

"And if you ever feel the need to come visit here when we're away, I'll let you go. I promise."

Angela was surprised by this, how accepting she was being of her potential needs. It didn't even cross Angela's mind that she'd just go back to Jinshui on her own, yet Lena was giving her that trust.

"I didn't come here to shackle you Angela. I came here to save you." They both knew if Angela didn't return to Lena's body after a long while, she would no longer be able to function as she could not recover chakra on her own.

Angela had tears streaming down her cheeks, "Why. Why are you being so nice to me? after what I did? You call me your friend, you promise me a life, you attempt to cater to my needs... even when it crossed my mind to keep you locked away and betray you once again."

"You're not going to betray me again."


Angela didn't say anything, the two just looked at each other, but the White-haired lady struggled to keep eye contact with Lena.

"I thought this was going to end in a fight, with me killing you again."

"Me too. I mean, heh - well I guess if I did kill you, we'd both die."

"Trying to make a point ey? Very dumb, I'd be dead, you'd be dead, point not taken?"
Lena laughed.

"Shut up." Angela smirked through the tears.

"Angela. It's like you wanted me to convince you to come back, the empty room, you holding me like this, connected again already?"

"I was never great at being your enemy."


Lena smiled at her. Angela smiled back, she brought Lena's head close and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Weirdo."

"I will toss you."
Angela pondered for a moment, "I have something of yours."

"Oh?"

"Your...uh...your body."


Lena's eyes shot open, shocked about this information. Angela stood up and took her out of the room, it was quite a way away, they went down a few stairs until they entered what seemed to be some kind of, laboratory or something. It was little and there was a table with a white sheet covering it, a body obviously underneath it.

Angela took the white sheet off and revealed Lena's body. It was covered in Paper Tags with sealing script on it, maybe to keep it from deteriorating. Lena was surprised it was here, though she now realized the lengths Angela tried to go to split them apart.

"Angela, you really tried to make it harder for me to find you?"

"Mhm. But I shouldn't of, we should have just talked like today. I'd be honoured to reunite you two together. You're gonna need it when we inevitably have to fight Sorrows."


Lena chuckled, and then Angela placed her head where Lena's neck is, she then pushed her hand into her body between the stitching and began to remove Lena's heart from her own stitched body. It beat in her hand, she watched it and then gently pushed it between the stitching on Lena's chest. The Dark Threads in the body seemed to latch on, taking it in on their own as Lena's head pressed against her neck, stitching threaded through her skin keeping her together and sealing it. Angela watched as Lena becomes one with herself again, her arms twitch and so do her legs. She begins to get used to her body again and sits up slowly. She lets out some deep breaths and sighs happily. It felt good.

"Lets get Mila."

This post marks the beginning of my Mission:

- Take part in a physical trial (2)


After reuniting her head with her body, Lena pushes herself off of the table. When he feet touch the ground, she immediately buckles and falls straight to the ground, almost hitting her head off it - just managing to keep her head propped up with her arms. She frowns. Everything felt off.

Angela looked down at her, a little concern on her face before offering her hand.

Lena just looked at the hand and shook her head, her gaze returning to the floor though that wasn't where her focus lay. She was concentrating on her body. It felt like the threads she had reconnected with weren't all there, or just weren't registering. Some seemed to listen when she tried to take control of them. It was like they were waking up after a very long sleep, which...was accurate, finally being used after all this time like her muscles. She trembled as she pushed against the floor and got up to one knee - but she still used a hand to prop herself up.

Lena would take on this challenge to re-familiarize herself with her physical body. She'd rather get it up and going sooner, rather than later. Just a tad of Configuration was required.

She concentrated on the hand she wasn't using to prop herself. Trying to feel each individual thread in the arm leading up to it, flexing what she could - as subtle as she thought she was being, that didn't seem to be the case when her arm jerk up making an awful crunching sound. Her finger's didn't really move, loosely following the arc of her arm. Though eventually they all seemed to move at once, moving them individually however didn't seem to be so easy.

Lena would move back to concentrating on walking again. Thinking about her legs, she'd push up off the ground and extend them, coming to a stand - though almost losing balance straight away as she fell back. Her hands lay on the table she just got off, keeping herself up. She huffed as she brought one knee up at a time to fully bend them both, she heard a crack. Angela groaned at the noise.

Lena eventually removed her hands off the table, seeing if she could fully stand without support. So far so good. She rubbed the palm of her hand against the tags on her torso that were used by Angela to preserve her body; since she couldn't peel them off right now with her fingers she would just palm at them until they slowly pushed against her skin enough to peel off. She managed to wrap all of her left hands fingers around a partially removed tag and yank it off.

Her walk was slow, just barely making it to the door before falling and using the door knob to hold herself. Lena twisted and opened it, she opened it a bit hard, swinging it aggressively - not used to the subtleties of her bodies's movement. Both Angela and Lena made their way through the Fortress. It was a slow process of Lena getting her walking confidence, taking stairs was also a nightmare as the first set they came to, Lena almost slipped down the whole flight - Angela caught her. She held her hand as she got used to descending.

It was quite the trek to the Fort's Cells. It was very dark down here as well, lit only by sporadically placed lanterns and the glass that surrounded the flames were dirty, so it made it even more dim.

Two of Angela's Royal Guards stood outside of one of the cells, both of them wielding their Whip-spear. The Sealing scripts on their blades glowing. Angela signaled to them and they both stood to attention, bowing and the sealing faded.

As Lena approached the Cell with her, one of the Royal guard took out a key and handed it to Angela who was jsut about to take it when Lena reached for the key.

"May I?"

Angela nodded and allowed her to take it, she had been watching Lena gradually get used to her body that had been unused for ages. It was quite impressive and she was curious as to how quickly she would regain the nimbleness of her fingers.

Lena grasped the Key awkwardly from the guard, when it was out of the guards grip and entirely and handed to Lena - it fell straight to the floor, through her fingers. The guard stood there awkwardly, stepping out the way when Lena reached down for it. Her fingers all splayed out at once, the entirely of the inside of her hand slapping against the key and ground, she commanded her digits to all close at once, the tips slowly sliding against the ground as they balled into a fist around the key. She successfully picked it up with no grace whatsoever. She righted herself again and moved to the Cell Door.

"Lena?" The Familiar voice of Mila emerged form the dark corner of the cell, she stood and made her way over to the cell door, peaking her head through the bars. "Lena!"

"Mila." Lena pressed one hand against the door, using it to guide the other with the key towards the lock. She concentrated entirely on this keyhole and her hand. She now focused on each of her digits, wanting them to do thing independently rather than all at once so that she could hold the key in a way that would point it towards the lock instead of just being scrunched in her hand.

Lena slowly maneuvered her fingers to rearrange the key she had picked up so that she was holding it at one end and the key head could slot into the lock, which she then promptly attempted to do. She missed. Hitting the edge of the lock with a gentle 'tink!' sound. She pushed passed the edge, making a scratching noise as it slotted into the keyhole. Getting used to her body again was frustrating, and it was probably making the others waiting a little impatient or confused - especially Mila behind bars. Lena focused again, the threads in her fingers to twist the key in the lock. It was very slow, the creaking of the key pin as she spun it slow and tense. Until a clunk noise was made, Lena nodded with a little smirk.

The door swung open suddenly and Mila jumped on Lena. She still didn't have enough control to resist such outsidely forces and keep her balance against them, so Lena fell backwards on her ass with a happy Mila wrapped around her - pulling her into an embrace.

"You're back together again."

"Not entirely." Lena's arms slowly moved to embrace Mila in return, though it was very awkward, she was very rigid - but it wasn't Mila's fault. "Still trying to wake my body up."

Mila got off Lena, giving her a look, now understanding why she was being so... strange. She pulled Lena up by her wrists before she could object, Lena almost falling straight into her. Though, she managed to throw her arms forward and back, giving herself some sudden balance as she stepped forward. She stood there for a moment, making sure she wouldn't just fall over if she relaxed...not like she could fully relax anyway.

Angela looked at them both, Mila looked back - she wasn't happy with Angela clearly. Lena could only imagine what Mila had been going through on her own before she found Lena, she owed her much.

"I have nothing to say to you." Mila looked back at Lena and held out her hand to her, smiling. "I'm exhausted."

Lena looked down at the hand with a surprised face, a bit of guilt she felt suddenly - but she understood what Mila was doing. Lena slowly reached out with her hand, finger's trembling as they clutched around Mila's palm. She concentrated again, her body resisting the will to listen. It hurt, to undo her threads, her body had almost sealed her scars naturally because she hadn't been using it constantly to undo her threads. When her skin pulled apart she grimaced and groaned, black tendrils reached out hesitantly from inside her body and began to wrap around Mila's hand, arm and she was eventually pulled into the tendrils - Mila seemingly coming undone herself until she became a wave of black threads that was pulled into her arm.

Lena jerked back as Mila was fully gone, the threads disappearing into her and stitching herself back up. Her shoulder cracked and jerked as the new heart rearranged and made itself comfortable inside her body, Lena hissed as the skin throbbed with bulk and added volume until it finally settled. It was a strange sight to see from outside, watching her thrash about and strain. Lena breathed heavily for a moment before letting out a final long sigh. With Mila returned, she felt a bit more control.

"Lets get your stuff, and decide what to do with Jinshui. Then we get out of here, yeah?" The self-proclaimed Queen folded her arms.

"Thank you, Angela."

The two made there way back out of the cells to convene and plan for a couple days. They would both eventually leave Jinshui to pursue Lena's other hearts.

Leaving Landmark.

( Doujutsu: Tendōgan ) - Eye Technique: Destined Eye (Passive)
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: N/A ( -10 per turn )
Damage: N/A
Description: The Tendōgan ( Literally meaning: Destined Eye or Eye of Destiny ) is a powerful dōjutsu utilized by the Hyuga clan. After gaining access to the Tendōgan,, Hyuga Clan members are able to retain their 360 degree vision to a higher degree, removing the blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra, allowing them to attain true 360 degree vision. The telescopic visual abilities of the Byakugan are also vastly enhanced through the formation of Tendōgan, allowing the user to be able to see entire countries away at length and at its most powerful state, able to precisely and clearly perceive the souls of opponents as well as other spiritual entities. This unparalleled telescopic vision extends to the Tendōgan’s ability to peer or see into any other Dimension, as the ultimate form of the All Seeing White Eye. This allows the user to even gaze into world realms such as the Limbo and Pure World with relative ease. This visual clarity makes the gaze of these eyes inescapable by any means, thus granting the Hyuga Clan user tracking abilities on par with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. When activated, the user is able to sharply increase the amount of chakra injected into the opponent on each of their Jyuken strikes, flooding the specific tenketsu points with chakra effectively destroying them. As a result, the side effects from Jyuken techniques and variants become indefinite. The user also gains access to the Divine Step Twin God Fists technique which increases the power of the user's Jyuken techniques.
Note: Requires activation (spending move) for Hyuga bios but remains active indefinitely afterwards if the user chooses to.
Note: After having a complete Hyuga bio with Tendōgan for 1 month, user becomes able to switch between both doujutsu without spending a move.
Note: User needs to have activated Byakugan before and had it active for 1 full turn.

As Buddha continues to travel, he activates his Tendogan so that his clarity of the world is at its peak. He'd travel on foot until he reached the beaches that connected these lands on the oceans nearby. Now having an ocean to cross, Buddha would transform into a massive blue eastern dragon with yang chakra in the form of flames encircling his body as he maintains flight many meters above ground. With this form taken on, Buddha takes into the sky and begins his journey across the ocean.

( Yoton: Godu Shinron ) Yang Release: God Dragon
Type: Supplementary | Attack | Defense
Rank: S-rank
Range: Short (Mid-Long)
Chakra Cost: 80 (-20 per turn)
Damage: N/A
Description: The God Dragon technique is an ability highly based off of Yang releases Ring of Hell coupled with the basic transformation technique, to create a transformation that rivaled even that of a Jinchuuriki. By flowing Yang chakra throughout the body, the user would tap into the ability to transform the body in a very detailed manner. Specifically, the user would transform into a massive (around average Biju size) blue-scaled/red-scaled dragon that notably has white fiery yang chakra circulating around his arms. In this form the Yang chakra flowing throughout the new dragon body would increase the users physical abilities tremendously. The user would be capable of moving at 3x his base speed, while being able to heal thirty (30) health per turn and shave forty (40) damage from any techniques hitting him due to the newfound resilience of the scales covering the body. Unfortunately the user would lose the ability to use basic Taijutsu skill, but makes up for it with using the body as a weapon. The user can use his long wiery body to strike targets/clash with techniques without worrying about being harmed unless overpowered. This is doable through minute amounts of Yang chakra passively leaking from the dragon scales all times, causing it to clash with things first; Though the leaking chakra would come with the burning effects of Yang, completely burning away any Yin based chakra equal to or less than this technique. Using the body to attack or defend would cost a move and deal 90 damage and have no chakra cost; Basically replacing taijutsu usage. For more powerful threats, the user would be able to conjure a build up of pure Yang chakra and release it via the mouth. This comes out in the form of a large projectile that is similar to a tailed beast bomb in terms of destructive capabilities. This is an ability that comes with a chakra cost of 50 and would cause 100 damage, being usable only 2 times per transformation. If used with an element imbued into it (basic 5, CE or adv element) the blast would deal 120 damage and cost 60 chakra instead. However, by infusing himself with the Yang Nature, the user becomes unable to use Yin Release techniques or Yin/Yang Release techniques; he cannot use Genjutsu or non elemental Ninjutsu of any kind (including special fields like Fuuinjutsu).
Note: Can only be used twice per battle and lasts 5 turns per use.
Note: Gains the ability of passive flight but can't be used to evade techniques.
