Survival Adventure Part 2 [Open][NR]

So the two of them would attack at the same time? So be it. The guy would push something red toward Kurai as Kurai pushed the Rasengan toward him. He couldn't help but to let a grin appear on his face. He hadn't been in a situation like this before. This was what he was waiting on.

When it connected, the Rasengan would expand and begin to grind into whatever it came in contact with, as well as begin pushing it backwards. If the guy managed to avoid it, Kurai's mind already began to formulate other attack patterns.

Aww shit.

2 big moves being aimed at each other, in this forest? It wouldn't turn out good. There was sure to be a big ass crater blown into the ground, not to mention a forest fire.

So, Angelic Speed had Alec out of the tree and between both fighters in the blink of an eye, in a position to where he could catch both of them off guard, and push their wrists in opposite directions while turning in a counter-clockwise motion. The push would likely make both change directions as well.

Angelic Speed:

"Ok... let's not get carried away here, somebody might get hurt."

Depending on if the diversion was successful, Alec would stand up straight and turn towards the newcomer with a grin. If it was Jr who'd brought this kid in, he'd made a fine choice.

"Was it Jr who sent you looking for me? What's this about?"

Seraphina watched as both attempted to hit the other with some large looking attack. Her brows furrowed, her face losing that amused expression: that looked like it could cause some serious damage. However, then her brother was standing in the way of the two fighters and redirecting the attacks so that they didn't collide. Her brother then looked to the newcomer and asked him if Junior had been the one who sent him, and what was it about.

Feeling it was probably safe to come out of hiding now she slid herself down and off of the branch she had been seated on. She moved from branch to branch as she lowered herself towards the ground, each step careful but sure as she moved. Within seconds she was on the ground. She turned where she stood and then walked over. She came to a stop nearby and adjusted the pack on her back before she took her canteen into her hand and unscrewed the metal cap and took a sip of it. She returned the lid and then allowed the canteen to hang from its strap once more.

Seraphina was always a bit shy and quiet around new people, and true to form she kept herself quiet for the moment while she listened to what was going on.

He was about to drive his hand into that blue thing. He saw a grin on the guy's face, and the same grin was on his face too---

But then somebody appeared from nowhere and was pushing his hand aside? He was doing the same thing to the other guy too? He was pushed in a whole other direction, and slid to a stop, letting his Aura die out again.

He turned around to see a tall guy with white hair. He looked just like Jr dude, or rather, Jr dude looked just like him. The dude looked really young. Did this guy really have kids of his own, when he looked like a kid himself? This must have been Alec Kane. He probably looked all young like that because he was an Angel just like his son, except where were his wings?

Yata wasn't going to ask too many questions. A girl was coming down out of the trees next, who looked alot like Alec, so that must have been Jr dude's aunt. "Yeah, Jr dude sent me over here," Yata said, looking at those Kanes strangely. "He wanted me to bring you this, so he could keep in touch with you."

Yata pulled out the Company android and handed it towards Alec. How in the hell was somebody as fast as this dude?...

Kurai was sure he was about to have a direct hit, until he suddenly found his wrist being pushed in another direction, and Alec saying something about someone getting hurt.

He caused the Rasengan to dissolve, and he slid to a stop. Alec was right; if those attack had hit each other, they would have caused a big boom. A forest fire would have started, 9 times out of 10. Still, the slight battle was fun. That guy was quite skilled, but it seemed that he was just realizing his power.

Little Kong jumped and landed upon Kurai's left shoulder as he examined his burns. They weren't very bad, and nothing he wasn't used to. Such injuries came when one fought all the time...

"A cellphone, huh.... Company logo and all. Slick."

Alec took the phone and looked it over. He found that as soon as one of his fingers touched the screen, his personal info was automatically downloaded into the phone. A list of other Company members as well as their faces appeared. The guy before them, his face was there too. Misaki Yata was his name...

"Alright, Mr Yata... thanks for this. Much appreciated. Hope you don't take the little spar the wrong way, my friend Kurai here has been... shall we say incarcerated for a long time. He was itching to... stretch his legs. Nice to see that Jr's carrying on the Company since I passed it to him. Tell you what... You can do me a small favor too, and Jr will likely give you some of this. Take this to him, I don't really have a need for it..."

Alec pulled a sack from his bag containing most of his money, handing it to Yata.

Seraphina saw the guy with the board on wheels pull out a strange looking device: she wasn't versed that well in technology so she paid it little attention. Instead, since things were calm now, she turned her attention to the burns on Kurai. "I can heal those burns if you'd like? It's up to you though." She would wait patiently to see if Kurai would allow her or not: if he said yes she would simply lift her right hand which would start to glow white and hover it an inch or two over the burns until they healed completely.

Angelic Physiology (If Kurai agrees to the healing):

Whether she healed Kurai or not she would then look over to her brother in time to see him handing over a whole lot of money to Yata to give to Junior. She wanted to actually meet Junior - and the rest of the family members she had yet to see - and figured that would be her next little adventure once this one was over. Of course, she likely wasn't going to go to Edge alone: she wasn't all that comfortable with the modern world still, and could only imagine how freaked out it might make her. "Maybe my next adventure will be meeting all of the other family I haven't yet...Though, technology is still very confusing...", Seraphina mused out loud.

Yata took the sack full of cash. It felt like there was a lot of money in there. Was Alec really trusting this much loot to someone he just met?

Yata didn't mind the spar though, the guy in black was pretty good. He had no idea what that blue circle thing was, but seeing as how Alec got between then, the end result of his fire hitting that thing probably wouldn't have been good.

The girl looked to be healing the burns Yata caused him, then said something about meeting the rest of her family, and not understanding technology. She must have been from somewhere far away.

"Alright..." Yata said, starting to back away. "Uh... It was nice to meet you, daddy Kane... I'll-i'll make sure Jr dude gets this." Yata looked towards the dude in black with the monkey. "Good fighting with you guy, maybe we can have a rematch one day... Um, you all enjoy... whatever it is you're doing out here. See ya..."

Yata turned and began to make his way back towards the tree with the door on it. He got confused a little at first, but he found it again after too long. He made his way up the tree and through the door back into Jr's office...

[Thread Exit]

Well. That was fun while it lasted. He could suddenly feel and see his wounds being healed, and looked to see that it was Seraphina doing the healing. "Thanks," Kurai said in response.

Kurai gave a bow to the person that Alec called Yata. "It was fun. A rematch sounds good, i'll look forward to it one day."

Then he was leaving. Seraphina said something about meeting the rest of the Kanes, and Kurai found himself wanting to as well. That big village with the towers that went into the sky, Edge. it seemed like an interesting place, full of powerful fighters...

"Good to meet you too, Mr Yata. Be careful on your way back."

Yata left again, and with that interesting diversion over with, it was time to get back to their survival trek. Walking through the forests, they eventually came to a canyon area that had a raging river in the middle. Salmon could be seen heading back upstream.

Alec quickly made his way down into the canyon. At the bottom were small cave-like formations. The air was cool inside, compared to the high humidity of the day, so this made a good space to sit down for a while. Perhaps there would even be a chance to catch some more fish.

Alec sat down and leaned back on his hands. He wiped some sweat from his forehead. The scenery around them was pretty cool, even though there was just mostly rocks and a river that had fish jumping around. For once there was no drama, or anyone dying. He was just traveling along on his grand daughter's island...

Seraphina watched as Yata soon left, still wondering exactly how he had found them out in the middle of nowhere. However, her mind soon focused back onto the adventure at hand and she followed her brother as he led the way towards a canyon. Salmon could easily be seen jumping in the river, and the water was moving and likely nice and cold compared to the heat they had had to endure so far.

She followed Alec down and into the canyon, being careful not to slip and end up on her butt in the process. She watched Alec take a seat and then wandered down to the edge of the water where she knelt down and took the time to fill up her canteen. The first fill-up she dumped onto her head, thoroughly saturating her hair as she let out a satisfied sigh: it helped her not to feel so hot, as did the coolness of the canyon itself. Then she filled the canteen up again, drank some of it, and filled it up the rest of the way before making it up to where her brother had sat down and sitting next to him.

She stayed in the seating position long enough to make sure she wasn't going to lay back on anything sharp or poisonous before she just allowed herself to lay back - not caring like a normal female would about getting dirty. She stared upward at the sky, a rather happy smile spread across her face. "This is heavenly."

The adventure continued on after a very interesting diversion. They went on through the rest of the forest until coming to a river in the canyon. While Alec jumped down inside quickly, Seraphina chose to take her time. Kurai and Little Kong did as well, mostly to make sure she got to the bottom safely and that she didn't fall.

At the bottom, Little Kong ran to the raging rapids and began jumping around, attempting to catch some of the fish. Kurai went to the water's edge to wash his face and to cool down from the heat. He looked to where his burn wounds were to see that they were now totally gone, rubbing the spots where the wounds were.

Little Kong began to catch some of the salmon hopping back and fourth, throwing them over on the side of the river. The food situation was take care of, for the moment...

"Hmm, so a guy who can make himself glow and use fire in his attacks, and rides a skateboard... I wonder where Jr found that guy? Interesting... there sure are some strange characters in Edge. Are there more?..."

Alec was grinning, excited to know there were new Company members. Putting Jr in charge of things was seeming like a good idea. He picked up a rock and tossed it at the right time, watching the projectile barrel into one of the hopping salmon.

"Wonder if he's found out any more info on those new characters around town... Something tells me we haven't seen the last of those folk. They're likely behind the scenes preparing for something else..."

In all his years fighting the Kingdom, he knew an organization with those sorts of funds wouldn't be ended after just one fight. Vigilante did good, but he'd just crippled one of their arms or legs. More arms and legs would come out of the darkness before the head would show itself. That's if it ever showed at all...

As Seraphina listened to Alec speak she continued to think about Edge herself. The glimpse of the place she had got spoke volumes on how large of a city it was, and a place like that was sure going to be easy to get lost in. If she wanted to go over there she was definitely going to have to bring someone with her who knew the place - though, after what else she heard her brother say she doubted she was going to be allowed to step foot in Edge alone, not if someone dangerous was lurking about.

Seraphina looked up to the clouds for a few seconds and then sat back up, running her right hand through her hair to remove a few stray leaves. She then picked up her canteen and unscrewed the lid, taking another sip of the cold water as she watched the salmon for dinner begin to pile up.

"Mmm fresh salmon. That's going to be delicious."

Little Kong was able to catch quite a few fish. Kurai washed his face and splashed water over his body suit, then put some of the fresh water into one of his containers. Food and water weren't difficult to come by so far, not like when he and his family were out on the road. Sometimes things really got hairy and Kurai was left to try drastic measures...

He didn't really want to think back to those times. The family never had to worry about anything like that again since everyone had their own houses in Makkura. His attention was grabbed by what Alec was saying about his old Company, and Jr finding new people. He also said something about 'new characters around town.' perhaps they were bad guys from the sounds of things.

"What kinds of characters, Kuraikage?" he asked as he came over. "Are they evil?"

"You could say that... they kidnapped an old friend of ours. A guy I hired before I came to your world went to rescue her. These guys were too well organized and had devices and drugs that would cost too much for any ordinary band of bums. At the end the leader said 'someone will replace me' so i'm thinking there's more. But we'll just have to wait and see..."

Alec stood and went to go gather wood for a fire. Once there was enough, and he dug a small hole in the ground, he used Katon chakra to ignite the splinters of wood and dry grass.

He sat again, wondering when those guys with the cross would show up again. Apple of Eden is what they said they wanted. Maybe his father Darkman knew something? He'd have to seek him out and ask him about it when he next got the chance...

A frown formed on Seraphina's face as she screwed the lid back onto her canteen while listening to what her brother was saying as he answered Kurai's question. Someone he knew had been kidnapped? And someone else had gone and saved her? There were more people like that roaming around, too? Seraphina's frown remained in place as she thought over such a person, or group of people: why would someone choose to be evil like that? What was the purpose behind it?

Seraphina shook her head to clear her thoughts and sighed. She had wanted to visit Edge when this survival adventure was over, but now she didn't know if that was such a good idea right now. "Hm. I don't like the sound of people like that." No, she didn't like the sound of that at all. This sort of situation was the one thing gaurenteed to make her wish to use her powers - powers she had had no interest in using before. "I wanted to go visit Edge too... but I dunno. If people like that are hanging around...", she said, brows furrowing slightly.

In one of his very rare moments of speaking, Little Kong said, "Edge City sounds like a fun place. Full of bad guys..."

"Yeah, we really should pay a visit someday soon if it's as exciting as you make it, Kuraikage. Well... not exciting as in your friends being kidnapped, but exciting as there would be enemies to face. I wouldn't mind helping out Jr in a place as big as that..."

When Alec went to gather fire wood, he and Little Kong used Kunai to gut the fish. He couldn't help but wonder what was going on in Edge. A much larger conspiracy was brewing in the shadows. A secret organization kidnapping people in a plot that was just beginning. It all sounded exciting to Kurai.

He went and found a large, flat stone to be used a sort of a skillet. He put it into the fire and let it heat up, after rinsing it thoroughly with water. When the stone dried off again he began to put slices on top of it. Along with the sizzle sound, the smell of the cooking salmon began to fill the air with smoke.

"Ha. I forgot Little Kong could talk."

Alec had his suspicions that Kurai was beginning to feel kooked up in Makkura, when there was a big, unknown world surrounding him. His twin Hikari, Kinzoku, Emiko and the others who'd come back with them from the other world were probably feeling the same way, so he'd have to do something about that. Perhaps arrange safe travel to Edge, Sunset Island, Konoha, or anywhere else people happened to want to go.

"Oh, no need to worry about anything, Sera. If you go to Edge, Jr will watch you where ever you are in that city, he has eyes everywhere. If anything were to go wrong, someone would show up instantly to help you. Jr will even come himself to bail you out of danger... Come to think of it, since you have my blood now, you should be able to do some of the same things I can... Do me a favor, close your eyes and concentrate. Tell me if you can see anything..."

Seraphina should have been able to use the radar just like he can, maybe even the advanced version. It would allow her to keep an eye on her back and her surroundings just in case anyone got any bright ideas when he wasn't around. Seraphina didn't seem real big on the use of powers and all, but it would put his mind at ease if she at least had the ability to see if someone or something was about to try and pull a sneak move. In these times it was better safe than sorry...

Seraphina listened as her brother explained that there was nothing to worry about: if she went to Edge like she wanted there would be someone who constantly had their eye on her, someone who would have her back no matter what the situation was. That was a very comforting thought and because of it she was able to look forward to such an adventure once again without having to worry about some evil person showing up and trying to start trouble with her: this brought a smile back onto her face and completely erased the frown that had been there just seconds ago.

Then her brother was asking her to close to her eyes and concentrate to see if she could see anything. A curious look fell upon her face but she did as he asked, wondering what it was that she was supposed to see. She kept her eyes closed and began to concentrate on 'seeing' something. At first nothing happened, but after several long seconds the world around her began to appear in her mind as if she were seeing it through her own eyes. "Oh!", she exclaimed as the world became clearer and clearer. She could see things that even her normal eyes wouldn't have allowed her to see: she could see all of Amaranth's island!

What was more was that she could pick up on distinct things: including animals nearby that were precieved as threats, while others were not taken as such. This new vision was extraordinary and it made her want to keep her eyes shut for forever just so she could always see things like this. "This is amazing... I can see the whole island. I can even see people and animals that are dangerous, and what ones aren't!"

Yes. A trip to edge would definitely be in the near future. He'd never been in a village - or as Alec called it, a city - as big as it before. Getting lost there sounded like fun.

Little Kong went to go gather more big leaves to use as plates, washing them in the river beforehand. With the fish finely cooked, Kurai began to distribute slices among them. He handed Seraphina a plate, Alec a plate, Little Kong a plate, and finally took one for himself.

Kurai had only heard rumors and hearsay of the famed eye abilities of the Kuraikage. It was said that the blind child Holeman taught him the same eye technique that he'd once taught his twin Hikari, and rumor had it that the Kuraikage developed his version even further into a more advanced form. It appeared that his sister could do the same. This was good; now he didn't have to expend so much effort keeping a look out. With 2 people that had the chakra radar, with his Shinsai which gave him sight of all on - and even in - the ground, nothing and no one would get the drop on them...

"Nice... I figured you'd be able to do it too. Always remember never to try using it with your eyes open. You'll have a migraine for like 2 weeks and your nose will keep bleeding. Since you figured out that you can use it, your other senses might become more amplified too... You'll be able to feel things moving, and hear things miles away. it'll take some getting used to..."

Alec took his "plate" and started eating. She'd probably play around with that now that she knew she had it, and that was fine. He could still remember back when he first started stealing eyes and learning the radar from Holeman over in the other world, in his time as a villain, murderer, and leader of a notorious criminal organization. Good times... but not all good. Everyone was scared. No one was brave enough to even try to oppose them.

Oh well. Alec finished his fish quickly, noticing that the sun was beginning its descent. Full of nutrisious food, he washed it down with cold refreshing water and stood to his feet again.

"We should get moving to the next area before it gets dark. I don't really wanna spend another night here with wild animals and snakes trying to strangle me."

So he began to move again. Jumping up out of the canyon, he continued on through the forest until coming to the other side of the fence that surrounded the Fighting grounds, jumping over it. Ahead of them was another forest of trees, but these ones were colored pink. The horizon ahead looked like pink snow. This was somewhere else he never knew existed on this island...

/Exit/

Even with her eyes closed she could see her plate and she took it with a giggle: this was far too interesting to stop now. "Thanks!", she said before she began to eat the tasty fresh fish that was on her makeshift 'plate'. She listened to the warning her brother gave about never trying to use her new sight with her eyes open and knew she would keep that in mind: she had no intentions of suffering a migraine or a nose bleed that lasted two weeks.

She ate with her eyes closed and when she was finished she took a swig of her canteen before re-filling it. She looked over to her brother when he spoke of leaving this area and followed him out and into the new area with beautiful trees where it looked like pink snow was falling everywhere because of all of the petals...
