The Crash Site [IOOC Event]

Tear saw what he expected, but far worse. There were rocks and craters everywhere. The many of the villages buildings were set ablaze and the villagers were running around panicking. You could hear babies crying and many people yelling out for help. Tear grit his teeth has he saw bodies of dead children lying on the ground. Tear made a single sign before a clone popped up on the side of him. The clone would go search for survivors as Tear would head to the meteor.

300 - 25 = 275
Clone Chakra - 260

Bodies littered the area, and when there weren't villager corpses making themselves maggot food a bandit made another corpse out of another bandit. It was sheer lawlessness to behold, but the atmosphere was something familiar. The area was shrouded in darkness from the overhead clouds, save for the fire of burning houses illuminating the sky. Snickering thieves mulled about, shouting about the meteorite that fell and it being composed of gold. Stannis noticed the Kazekage sending out a clone, and noted that as well. Clothed in mostly black the Sunagakure shinobi melted into the backdrop of the area as if he never existed, losing himself in the throng of bandits.

After their long journey, Mei's team finally made it to the Land if Tea. When they arrived, everything was a mess. There were craters and bodies all over the streets. The sight was very sad but even so Mei had no time for emotions. She kept moving making sure every now and again that her Genin were still behind her. Soon enough she found the Kazekage. "Lord Kazekage, We have arrived as you requested." She said in a very respectful yet somewhat dull tone.

Despite his haste in going to the Land of Tea, Urek was certainly late for the party. He was still a few miles away from the location of the landing, but he could see the city, itself about a mile from the landing site and also around the same distance from where Urek was currently. The city was ablaze, the fires burning across it lighting up the night air. The crash site had plenty of its own fires burning as well, though most of them were bonfires for the sake of the bandits, undoubtedly... From where he was, he could see flickering lights that suggested that shinobi combat was also going on. No doubt the bandits had created some kind of alliance that would last until the meteorite had been excavated and then they'd fall upon each other like the hyenas that they were. But for now, their sheer numbers made a fight against them in a solo mission quite ill advised. They would need a solid team of shinobi to have a reasonable chance of success.

The bandits aside, there was also nearly a guarantee that the other Hidden Villages had sent forces. This was both a chance to make friendly with the Land of Tea, a potential ally and trade partner. That was all ignoring the obvious value of the meteorite, which even from this distance could be seen with a very slight gleam. He didn't want to begun using his Byakugan yet, preserving his chakra in the anticipation that he may need all of his reserves for a fight. Instead, he used his brain. He knew Hozunda well enough to be able to anticipate where he would approach from and had left a fair few signs around that location to clue him in. Then he'd set out to guarantee that his location was clear and safe. He'd picked a small hill with a copse of trees with low hanging branches which provided great visual breaks in case someone was to look up towards him, while still letting him see all potential approaches.

So he set himself there, observing through a pair of binoculars. He was definitely too far away to be able to tell any distinct people, but he could certainly confirm fighting in all sorts of places. It was safe to assume that plenty of it was from bandits who had come too late to the event to be able to get in on the alliance. Plus the expected pillaging and plundering... He had to control his temper for a few moments. He wanted to go help these people. To go down to their aid. To help the weak and helpless. However, he knew that he had to hold his position. One man going in right now would only spell trouble. He needed the assistance of his village. Putting his binoculars down for the moment, he fished his wireless radio from a pouch, putting it around his neck and placing the earbud in its appropriate location. The whisper mic was amazing for missions where you had to be nearly silent.

Finally he sat down in a cross-legged manner, reaching for an inner peace. Keeping all of his senses wide open though, he waited, holding his position until the situation changed or he recieved other orders.

Zevas had seen the fireball from far off. The blazing spectacle was something to behold. Zevas had been coming the way from Iwa, after hearing the news about a golden rock falling from the sky. He could hear the screams of injured people and of those mourning their recent deaths in the family. The night sky was lit up by the burning wreckage. Zevas would assume that Iwa wasnt the only village informed of this disaster of monstrous proportions. Walking towards the village Zevas would notice another shinobi sitting crossed legged on the ground. He quickly leaned against a tree and reached up to hold his cloak tighter to him. He wasnt sure of what to do, but he prepared himself just in case.

Syndra would see the village from quite some distance, the flames errupting from the village put a marker right on the place. It was safe to assume this is where the distress call came from. One could almost feel the chaos in the air.
Syndra arrived in the area by her created wooden and moss covered bird. She rode on the back of the bird for the whole trip, she was quite high in the sky. This allowed for Syndra to have a birds eye view of the village from afar and not have to get close to the village yet. She could see controlled fires in certain spots, then chaotic fires in other spots. Not to mention a large rock that appeared to have value laying in the center of the village. "How chaotic." She thought to herself, while hovering in spot on the back of the bird.

Syndra was a powerful medic and she knew it would look nice if she went down to try and heal any survivors in the area. But, judging by the chaos and tension in the air, she wouldn't be able to heal without being interrupted by others with vicious intents.
So, instead Syndra figured first thing was to get rid of the bandits. She had no desire to check out the large rock, simply because she knew that was the center point of the area and not a smart place to be.

Syndra pondered on what to do for a moment, after thinking about it for sometime. She decided she would stay about 45 meters away from the village and remain high in the sky to just watch the village for a moment. She was curious to what everyone's actions would consist of and she figured it would be better to wait things out for a moment. Although, a majority of the land appeared to be bandits who had no real threat to them. There most likely were powerful shinobi from other lands as well though.

She would speak to her bird in a calm voice while hovering in one spot about 45 meters away from the village. "We'll just wait it out for a little bit. Let the pawns go first." She whispered.

Having already dispatched most of his Village to The Land of Tea, Raikage Raiki, decided he wanted the first look, as he neared the borders of the country. Smelling the smoke and fire even from where he was, put him on edge, he knew that it wouldn't be an easy scenario to navigate through, as he wasn't quite sure what to expect. Flexing his arms a bit, and clinching his hands a few times, in an effort to get more blood pumping through his body, he sighed. "Well guess, it's time to check it out." Despite the fact he had left first, he left orders for the rest of his Shinobi that they could come at any time after his arrival at the Crash Site, so he doubted they were far behind him.

Working his way through the many trees the smell of fire burning became even clearer, as well as a new smell, death. Whether from the Meteors crashing down, or the supposed heavy Missing Nin presence he wasn't sure, but he wasn't about to wait to find out. Pushing a bit of chakra into his feet his pressed on, quicker then before, nearly breaking the next limb he leaped from. It wouldn't be long before the Crash Site as well as the destroyed village would come into view of the powerful man. As such, it wouldn't be long before the powerful man came into view of the rest of the Shinobi there.

Knowing he was nearing the village, he pushed even harder on his last jump crushing the tree limb completely as he went sailing into the air. As he came down he spotted a particularly taller building, not quite at the Epicenter of the crater but just outside of it's damage circle. Landing upon the building in a knelled manner he created a fairly deep indentation on it's surface before standing back up to both legs. After having done so, he casually walked towards the edge of the building where he looked down upon the fighting of Missing Nin, as well as the arrivals of others.

A large smile began to spread onto the face of the tall man, his white coat had begun to blow with the slight occasional gusts of wind caused by the heated ground sky. As such, the heated ground and sky caused by the Meteors left the sky somewhat darkened as a roar of thunder began to echo all throughout the area they were in as if it were a Valley. Never one to leave the chance for theatrically, the Raikage began to openly charge his Raiton Natured Chakra and allow it to swirl around him. From atop the building he'd landed on it gave him an almost Godly appearance, Lightning Swirling around the man as the clouds stayed darkened overhead. Though for the moment his face would for the most part remain hard to see as his lowered Hat, would cover all but his mouth, and his right eye, which remained opened in an excited look.

"The Raikage has arrived!!" His loud embellishment though likely drawing a lot of attention to himself, combined with his stage like performance, could either leave in awe, in fear, or simple awareness.

Hana had probably been watching in the shadows as she viewed the devastation caused by the meteor, having noticed a few others had been sending out help to any survivors Hana waited for the rest of her team to show up. Dressed fully in anbu gear sh wore a mask over atop her face and hair streaming down into her suit that way it wouldn’t catch on fire or any twigs that could tangle up with it. “We should consider ourselves lucky that such a boulder wasn’t hurled at Kumogakure. I wouldn’t be sure how we could defend against such a natural disaster other than evacuating.” Under her voice she remarked about all of this that way no one without being a meter next to her could hear it. I suppose I should start helping with the survivors.

Perched upon a branch she was prepared to hop down when she noticed the Raikage step plainly into view and announce himself to any in the world that may have been watching. Swiftly her hand slapped across her forehead, honey please can you be a bit more inconspicuous than announcing your rank to the world. Now she had nothing better to do then join her Raikage a few paces back that way she could speak with him somewhat in silence. Leaping down to where he stood she murmured so that he could hear, “Being a little blunt aren’t we sir?” Putting aside her feelings for the recent Kage as she didn’t suspect that they were alone in this little outing.

The skirmish of random shinobi was still going on and Hana was hoping to let them all fight it out but she didn’t seem to be getting that luxury anymore as she intended to keep the Raikage safe.

Urek heard a click in his earpiece, that indicated that someone else on the Iwa radio frequency was within distance to hear him. Pausing a moment before speaking, he turned his microphone on. "This is Danzo if the Iwagakure ANBU. Can you hear me? State your name and rank." He was well aware of Zevas behind him, and knew him to be an Iwa ninja, but for now a Genin was nothing he could spend time on. Especially since a Genin wouldn't have been assigned a radio. Then he waited for a response from whomever was out there from Iwagakure.

While watching the flames burn even more intently in the area, more and more people began to show up to the village. Judging by their sheer appearances, they all are for the most part very high ranking shinobi. Syndra chuckled slightly to herself.
"These ninja are gather like moths to a flame." She thought to herself.

At the current moment it appeared that Syndra was the only Leaf shinobi in the area. Which meant going in recklessly would be idiotic. She was curious to what that large rock that came from the sky had to offer. She figured she would wait a little bit longer before heading in though. The mass amounts of thugs/bandits were of no concern to her, they could be struck down easily.
It was the large amounts of obviously skilled shinobi that didn't make her not want to enter the area at the moment. She was not being a coward, she was being tactical. As they say, 'Good things come to those who wait.'

Since Syndra had stayed in flight outside of the village and everyone was too concerned with the village its self, she hasn't been bothered yet. Chances are most people just assumed her bird was just a local bird in the area. It would be hard to notice in this dark weather as well. She wondered what actions would take place here, the world has already started to fall back into a life of chaos.

A crackle on the radio caught the man's ear as he leaped to another tree. He stopped abruptly, causing the tree to shake and leaves started to fall. So... It seemed that Iwagakure had already joined the fight in the Land of Tea? Had the Ninth already sent out a squad to intercept before he went missing? Bansho didn't have much time to think about this however, as it would be rude not to answer his fellow shinobi of the Earth. He reached up and clicked his radio and said, "It's good to hear from you Danzo. This is Yoroyuza, Bansho. Juudaime Tsuchikage standing in for the Kuudaime who has seemingly vanished from his duties. It is nice to know that someone is already here during all of the chaos. Is there anything you can report from your position? I am currently en route to where you are." He clicked his radio off and waited for a response as he resumed traveling through the trees. It would only be a few more moments until he would clear the the thickest of the brush, and once he had done that he could become a target... He stopped quickly on the last tree in the area.

He nodded once and then clicked his radio back on, "Danzo-kun... What is your current position?" He knew that there was better strength in numbers, and being split up from his squad was a dangerous disadvantage they couldn't afford to have on a dangerous task such as this. Bansho was no sensor ninja, but he did have a sixth sense just like all shinobi inherently did and he knew that there were very powerful shinobi here, perhaps the other Kage's had already started to show? In any case, he maintained his current position and awaited a response.

Achilles Raiki will solo thread 1. And my other two Kumo nin will take Thread 2.

So, according to your post Poncho, they had 24 hours to post about which members would be going to what topic. Since only two people have done that, does it mean that it is now closed to only Kumo and Iwa? I'd like to keep from posting until I know exactly who is going to be there, so I don't make some statement that would later be untrue.

I was wondering if I could request that topic 2 be put on a small hiatus though, since currently Urek is the only active member that would be able to post in that thread and Hana is unable to post super actively until she takes care of her IRL issues.

Yeah, I agree with Bansho on this. Because while I'm sure Poncho would be a fun opponent, my armor alone means that he couldn't hurt me with any jutsu, or weapons. If Hana can't attend appropriately, then Poncho, you and I will fight for sure. But if she can, it'd certainly tip the scales more appropriately.

I posted this plus more, but I deleted it and sent to to Staff in a PM because I thought it was irrelevant for people to see if they are not staff. But seeing as some people wanted to join the event too I will reply some and post it here,

My Travel Thread [LINK] began May 23rd to get here later on the 23rd/24th. When Crono joined the thread we began to RP. For the sake of keeping the dignity of RPlaying as close to real as possible I thought it would have been illogical to post here while not finished with my Crono thread. Seeing as now I will be arriving with him. But because of this unexpected deadline, I feel like I didn't get the chance to rush the thread. With a warning that this events entry was ending, me and Crono would have made it in on time. Other members of the site wanted an opportunity to join into the event but because of certain delays, they got caught up and were force to wait.

If the entry or whatever is not going to re-open, I suggest a warning or a deadline on the event description in order to make things more organized. I love how this site is being ran, so I have had no complaints nor do I complain with staffs choices, but this was kind of odd lol

No offense, Sanroku, but you had nine days at least. And Poncho even removed the time restriction for travel topics, so you didn't need to wait the twelve hours. He also removed the topic limit, so you don't have to worry about that. You had nine days to post, before Poncho's post there, and then from there another twenty-four hours where I'm sure if you had PM'd your Kage and Poncho, it would have been allowed. While it would have certainly been more professional if a set deadline had be posted, and a full plan explained, from the beginning... Well, the staff can't really be blamed for you not posting since you had an enormous chance. If this were a combat topic, you'd have been killed in those nine days, with spare change. This event is meant to promote activity, and if you can't be active enough to find you way to the Land of Tea, then that means that it is doing its job.

No offense taken my friend, but I do understand that. I deleted the rest of the message but there have been a few reasons why I haven't joined the thread yet and activity surely isn't one. I don't want to give excuses though. I only posted this here because I would like to suggest a warning next time because I've spoken to a couple people that wanted to join the event, and I wanted to know if the opportunity of keeping the thread open still existed. Even for Konoha as well. Hana is not active right now, so in reality, we have 2 Kumo shinobi in there. There is an Iwa shinobi also inactive right now. So if that small hiatus did exist that could have been a perfect time to open that window. Im sure we can have more people join the event and after that let the 24 hour Auot-HIT count. Would have been more fun like that. I also have mentioned it to my Raikage, he is well aware that I've been on my way. He has told me before to join thread B since he is in a Solo one in Thread A.

But yea I REALLY don't mind, so let us leave it at that. I believe in my Raikage and Poncho to win this stuff for Kumo. lol
