Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuki had been traveling through the village with Midori and May. He was pretty sure he knew where she was going, but being a bit of a newbie, he was glad he could follow her. Yuki listened to the conversation, albeit a bit over his head, and turned to look when Daniel arrived. Hearing that Midori would be the new gaikukage, Yuki was a bit more than just startled. He was dumbfounded. His new teacher would be leading the whole village! Of course, Yuki could see why they had chosen her, at least a little. She was obviously very innovative and a great leader. Still, Yuki wasn't quite sure whether he should congratulate her. He wasn't even sure he could if he wanted to. Finally he was able to speak. "So, Midori-sama," he said, realizing the formal respect that was now due to her, "How should we proceed?" Yuki was a bit nervous in his speaking; he didn't know if he should in this situation. But he had to know. He had to be able to help in any way that he could.

ooc: I'm gonna give a few more days for other people to reply to this development

Anyhow yes this is invovling the rp.

Of course this wasn't my orginal plan for the plot but when Vix placed me and Death in charge of the guild it was just too good a story opportunity to pass up having this reflected somewhat with my character

In a dull flash of red light, Death and Flagenza warped into the village from the Moon Forest. They had successfully returned from a climactic fight with a behemoth. It was brutal and they had to bring attention to the higher authorities, it was extremely unlikely that this was the end.

Thanks to his luck, death wound up materializing upside down and he crashed, head first, onto the ground. "Oh geez, that's gunna leave a mark. Are you OK Flagenza? We need to get to the Command Center right away, c'mon!" Flipping over, Death got up and started heading for the center of town with no delay. Fortunately, they had appeared only a few blocks away from their destination.

When he arrived at the tower, Death threw open the doors and screamed, "Everybody move or I'll eat you!" Everybody froze and stared at him. Apparently, these chunnin weren't aware of Death's odd methods and they were just weirded out. "Close enough, just don't get in my way." Death quickly made his way to the stairs and up to the 5th floor in search of Vix.

Arriving at the top of the stairs, Death was just about exhausted from the battle and the quick climb. In an unintelligible garble of words, Death managed to get up and enter the meeting room. Death's words were still hard to make out and slurred together into a chain of random syllables, "Oh my God! Igodanewzasomtinsay." Taking a deep breath, Death tried again, "Hey everybody, hi Midori." Death paused to breathe. "Anyone know where Vix is?" He took another breath. "And I need a medic. So does Flagenza. He should be here in a second."

Catching his breath, Death finally realized the people who were around him. It was a group he really didn't expect to be seeing right now. Something was obviously going on that he didn't know about. "Um, what exactly's going on right now?"

"Congulations Master." said May causing Midori to blink as she realized with a sinking feeling that no this wasn't a dream, and was very very real
As Midori began to return to her senses after the intense shock of being told that she had been chosen to be the new Gaikukage she silently mouthed "why me." As if reading her mind (or more likely her lips) Elder Kyron smiled and began to explain. "All me to elaborate. While their are many capable Jounin such as Death with in the village none have managed to build quite the storied reputation that you have."

"It was you who lead the mission that later became know across the nation as the great massacre exam, depriving several enemy villages of entire classes worth of ninja. It was You who has lead a team to victory in the Cell wars not once, but twice an unpredicted feet. It was you a mere chunin at the time who fraught the second strongest Gaioh nin Chaos to a standstill. And many accomplishments besides. I could go on all afternoon but the point is, your name has become both respected and feared across the land as the Angel of Death. Few are those who would dare to oppose you and even fewer are those who would live to tell the tale. That sort of ruthlessness is exactly what we need in this situation as after years of relative weakness must establish that this is not a village to be trifled with." belted out Kyron with a grand sweep of her arms.

Midori nodded. While she did not think herself particularly inclined to leadership she knew how could she was at meeting out death and destruction in her wake if she so chose. The had picked her in order to figuratively bring the hammer down on this new enemy to that the next potential attacker would think twice before attempting an assault. The elders it seemed where playing hardball. This wasn't just a mere skirmish anymore but an all out war as she had been all but officially ordered to annihilate the source of the attack. "Very well then, I accept the position. Now let's get down to business." said Midori with a sinister grin on her face. It wasn't often she was given free reign to do her work as an assassin and she would relish it for a long as possible.

"Now Zira to answer your question of course not all of our ninja could cover that distance in such time. However the Village does have a surveillance network and ninja posted in many of the relevant locations throughout our country so it's no surprise we where able to learn so much about the situation after the fact." She said before turning to Death and flagenza just as Death was asking about Vix. "Vix....is...Vix is missing. She's vanished with out a trace so now I'm in charge for the moment..." she paused as she noticed their injuries. "For Zarthans sake" she exclaimed uttering the name of the legendary boss dragon.

"Somebody get a medical ninja in here to take care of them. They've obviously had an encounter with the enemy and I don't want to lose valuable information and people just because we were slow at taking care of their wounds." she ordered "Now Death, Flagenza I will have you report in a moment but first I need to brief the people here for an urgent reconnaissance mission." she said as she handed off the evidence she had gathered from her own fight to one of the chunnin assistants and ordered him to send it to the village labs for examination.

"We don't know much about the enemy yet. However we do know that at the very least that some of them unitize advanced cybernetics and weaponry. One of them in particular was wearing a special power suit that happened to be equipped with a prototype weapon that shouldn't exist. May if you could use 'that jutsu please" asked Midori. Nodding May's eyes light up as she projected a 3d halographic display of the Mecha panther suit with a special emphasis on the railgun mounted on it's shoulder.

"I will now share with you classified information. Half a year ago, I was given a black list mission to disband a upstart pcm known only as Ragin Cell which was causing problems over at the border between our country The land of towns and Iron Country. I was given free reign on how to disband them and so I chose the most effective method I could think off...annihilating them. After locating their base I whiped out all personal and wrecked most of their infrastructure, but not before stealing all the information on their database.

As you can probably guess the only known blueprint for this particular make of Railgun was on that database. Considering the condition I left the database in nobody other then myself should be able to manufacture an exact duplicate unless they somehow where able to recover and salvage the remains. Ragin Cell was a small PMC, even before I wreaked them they didn't have the man power necessary for the scale of the attack we have seen today. However they WHERE known for their advanced weaponry and cybernetic research so we can safely assume that somehow their data has fallen into this new enemy's hands...

I know it's dangerous but I need a team to go to the ruins of Raging cells former base to investigate for clues since it will take a while to analyze the ones we currently have. Yuki, Daniel and Zira. You 3 are the team I have chosen for this vital mission. You are to escort May as she will prove invaluable for accessing what's left of the bases computer systems.

Yuki as you know while May can more then handle her own in a combat situation she hasn't seen much out the outside world so I'm counting on you to keep an eye out for her. Unfortunate well we know where the bases general location is we don't have a way to mark down precise location due to the jungle like terrain and the fact I lacked a gps at the time.

Death and Flagenza as soon as you are properly healed up I want you to head up after them in order to act as back up should something untoward happen. We have to assume that the enemy is aware of the base as we are so it might be a trap. If it is, the others will undoubtedly need your assistance. In the mean time I want a report on your situation and if anybody has any questions ask them now before the mission starts." declared Midori as she finished her briefing

As a medic began working on Death, primarily his back, Death congratulated Midori on becoming Kage. "That's pretty cool, I'm a little surprised even." Death understood what was expected of him in the upcoming mission, his task was simple enough and he had no further comments or questions. "Let's go kick some a**!"

Upon hearing that he would be part of the cell for this mission, Yuki nodded. He knew this was vital to the village. Still, he was only a genin. If they had to resort to using novices for something so important, the peril really must be great. Yuki knew he wasn't an awful shinobi; in fact, he had quite proved his skills recently during his sparring in the Moon Forest, the village arena, and just that morning against this new threat. But he was far from excellent. He was still greatly inexperienced, and only skilled with several techniques, none of which had he fully mastered. "Midori-sama," he began to say, but immediately paused for a moment. He couldn't voice how he felt right now. He realized that he wouldn;t solve anything by pointing out why he might not be much help. Instead, he tried to focus on the fact that he could help at all. "I am honored that you chose me for this. I only wish that this mission hadn't come to be necessary, if only for the fact that this new enemy is such a threat." Swallowing hard, Yuki readied himself mentally for the coming task. Then there was the problem with May. Yuki knew that May was capable, but what Midori said about him having to make sure she was alright worried him. How could he do that, when he himself would need help with that very same thing? Yuki had never been very far from the village. He also knew that May could take care of herself. At least, he assumed so because of the level of intelligence and adaptiveness she had displayed thus far. But inside he knew he had no choice. The new Gaikukage was counting on him. And more than that, his new teacher was counting on him. Still, Yuki was glad to hear that Death and Flagenza would join them. Yuki still didn't know much about Flagenza, but Death, he knew, was more than capable of saving his a**, should it so need saving. Regardless, Yuki was going on this mission, and he would do his best to see it completed, for the sake of the village.
