This post marks the beginning of my mission using the following storyboard elements:
-fight an enemy stronger than yourself (4)
-save a large community from danger (5)
Summary:
After arriving in the next area, Nana finds a community that is in danger from a roaming hungry beast.
There was a distinct different taste in the air as Nana arrived in the village something almost metallic, like iron. The earth itself looked almost maroon or dark crimson like bloody stained sand that was underfoot. The villagers themselves seemed used to it, going about their lives as if normal. One curious thing that Nana noticed as she entered was that everyone was carrying some form of weapon with them, whether swords, hammers, axes etc. Some of them even wearing armour like guards, yet there didnt seem to be guards through the town. They eyed her suspiciously upon passing but no one stopped her or told her to leave, which at least was a good sign.
Walking to the biggest building that didnt look like a housing place, Nana wanted to fing somewhere to drink.
As she walked over, there was a crash and roar from beyond the massive hall followed by several screams as people began running towards Nana and past her. Not even stopping to stare they ran in panic as Nana saw several members of the village pluck their weapons from their hips and belts and ran towards the roaring. Nana, curious about the commotion followed the source, careful not to intrude or be seen as an outsider that caused the commotion. No one seemed to pay her a second thought, they were too focused on getting to the source of the panic.
As Nana arrived at the scene, she saw a massive jaguar like creature rampaging and destroying the village walls. The creature itself was as large as the maasive mead hall, standing at 12 feet high, probably stretched out to 36 feet Nana estimated. Its slick black fur was striped yellow, a uniqur palatte that Nana had never seen before, to which she assumed was native to this continent. It roared once again as several villagers threw some spears at it, harmlessly battered away by the big cat. It pounced up onto the wall looking down at a few houses that were close.
"Run, look out!" Creid one of the village men. Nana had a bad feeling as it opened its mouth, not to roar this time, as a light began to shine and flicker. Fire began to form in its mouth as a small cry was heard from the front of the house drawing Nanas attention. A mother and small child had tripped up, struggling to escape, and Nana saw a horrific vision of them not making it. She leapt down, damning the consequences of intervening, and formed the seals for water wall. She exhaled a torrent of water as the Jaguar bellowed a massive breath of purple flames, incredibly powerful Nana could feel her water almost being overpowered. Out of her peripheral vision she saw someone help the woman and child up, thankfully taking them out of danger, as Nana released her tech leaping backwards as the flames then engulfed the house. It splintered and almost collapsed instantly, the flames incinerating the house.
Nana took a note, incredibly powerful flames. The other villagers were struggling to do any real damage to it, deapite their weaponry. They clearly had expected attacks but never a creature this powerful.
"No! This is beyond what we have fought before! We need to evacuate everyone now." Nana heard one of the men, presumably a blacksmith by the look of his attire. A large man with a portly belly, who seemed to be which everyone was looking towards spoke.
"Fine, take everyone out by the south gate, Ill hold it off"
There were several cries of protest but were silenced by the chief. Explaining that someone needed to buy time he would fight it off.
"I will help, with any luck we may be able to defeat the beast!" Nana spoke up, to the shock of the chief but he graciously accepted. He looked strong, despite his physique.
With a nod he formed seals as a massive earthen dragon grew from the ground and launched towards the large feline. It roared as it approach clawing at it destroying its face. Leaping up and running along the spine of the earthen creation, she staggered as the face was torn away. The claws of the beast seemed to crackle with electricity as it raked again, the electricity crackling along the earthen dragon caused the entire body to start crumbling and disintegrating. Nana leapt forward trying to make it to the beast to try and strike it in the face but looked like she was going to fall short. The Jaguar seeing one of its prey looking helpless in the air raised its claw to take a swipe towards her. Thinking quickly, Nana formed seals as sugar coalesced on her fist as she swung it forward, releasing the crystals towards the beasts eyes. As they reached it, there was a howl in pain as they cut into its eyes causing its claws to swipe upwards and thankfully miss Nana. The beast hissed as it circled around whipping its tail, which took down a large tree.
"We must finish it quickly, before it destroys the whole village!"
Nana was in agreement and as she turned back towards the beast her heart sank. It had taken a deep breath, standing up to its fullest height its eyes crackling and glowing red. The signs suddenly added up, the crackling lightning and the glowing eyes, a fire and lightning combo attack. The scale of this one however, was surely going to be devastating and destroy half the village!
Nana thought quickly to herself, she needed to find a way to disable or stop this. She was frozen in fear, how was she going to stop this beast, when suddenly the earth erupted infront of her as a massively thick wide wall, and a thunderous erupting boom echoed as a howling and crackling force struck the wall. It started cracking, as Nana saw the chief have his hands on the ground trying to hold it up.
"Do what ever you can or run, Im not gonna be able to hold it much longer!"
Nana took a moment to collect her thoughts and readied her fists. She was gonna solve it the only way she knew how, fightinh her way out. One deep breath and she struck the base of the wall, unleashing her chakra through her fists, as the shockwave rippled through blowing apart the wall and the beam that was on the other side. The earth went flying upwards towards the creature sent flying fast because of the shockwave. It collided with its head with a sickening crack as the large Jaguar went tumbling backwards into the forests darkness with each tree being pushed aside its great body.
Nana wiped the sweat that had been forming on her brow and looked towards the chief to see if he was ok. He had collapsed down on the floor due to the stress and chakra useage but he was alive.
He thanked Nana for her help and for defending the village, they had never seen or fought a beast that large before. It would have surely destroyed the village if she was not here.
