Summary:
Scientists again! Of the mad variety, naturally. Kumo-nin are sent to dispatch both beasts and creators.
Poster's note: foul language filtered in obvious places.
"Beasty Creations"
Land of Lightning
A team was called together. Why? Because once again, Kumo was being threatened by villains that- okay, they weren't villains. They were just crazy scientists. But something had to be done about the beasties they were creating, which is why a big team was sent off to the middle of the Land of Lightning. And considering a majority of the Shinobi were Chuunin here, the senior Chuunin Hatake Asato was designated as leader. Objective: annihilate everything that comes out of their little experiment-hideaway.
Asato stands atop a rocky ridge, looking over a shadowed valley nook where it was suspected the scientists were conducting their experiments. The cold was still lingering on the air, like winter wasn't ready to give way to spring just yet. A cigarette burned between his lips, and he took a slow drag, filling his lungs with the heated smoke before letting it out in a whispering cloud. "… Alright. So. It looks like that building down there is our target. It's built into the rock face, so it'll be difficult to destroy it. We'll have to infiltrate and deal with the problem ourselves." He glanced around to the team that surrounded him, looking to each person individually. ".. Looks like there will be a lot of close-quarters combat. We might be able to set some traps… Take it room by room, and try to be discreet. We do NOT want all of them coming down on us at once. Divide and conquer. Any thoughts?" A lot of these shinobi were Chuunin as well, so he'd welcome their input, even though as leader he knew he would have to make the final decision. Sometimes he hated responsibility.
Hanami watches the building as Asato talks, "I'll admit infiltration isn't something I've done a lot of, so I mean I don't really have any suggestions. But do we have any more idea of what we're going up against, aside from some mutated animals and scientists?" She then turns her focus back to the building, even though she's not real confident it'll give any useful information she decides to extend her limited chakra sense and see what she might pick up.
"Um, are we killing the scientists also or just their experiments?" Naruko asks curiously as she looks at the building from afar. She doesn't appear to be entirely too concerned about these guys, if anything she was a little cocky. "Can't be worse than all the stuff we have dealt with already. I don't think we will have a whole lot of problems with this…" Naruko states, though is a little too far to try and sense anything out from here. Instead a yawn escapes her lips, perhaps getting a little bored already.
Leaning on her staff, Furoo looks down at what Asato is talking about and then sighs, "Do we really have to bother with this?" She asks and peers over before shaking her head, "This all seems like it's going to be boring. Lets just call them all out at once. Take them all out in one swoop. Sure it'll be harder but it'll be faster." She nods, "Don't expect me to put forth a full effort here." SHe shakes her head, "It hardly seems worth it." She then glances over at Hanami and then blinks and looks to Naruko, "Oye, the cute one makes a good point." She points at Naruko before looking at the place again, "Do we kill them all or just the experiments? It seems like a lot more work if we want the scientists alive…"
Ryouji looks out over the ridge as well, opening his chakra senses to those inside. He says, "Well, I've got enough paper bombs to handle any demolition we'll need." He pats his hip pouch. "That should not be a problem." He nods to Asato, "Do we have a layout of the building? We'd better if we're going to do a room by room sweep, I think. They have the tactical advantage if they know the layout."
COMBAT: Hanami focuses 3221 stamina to turn it into 4000 usable chakra!
The house looks pretty foreboding. Being on a cliff and all…. But there wasn't much to see on the outside. Overall… Very boring! So very boring, in face… One has to wonder why the group is here, as there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious! … Except there totally is something suspicious about this place, which is why Kumo sent out a team!
COMBAT: Asato focuses 4748 stamina to turn it into 6000 usable chakra!
Asato gives Furoo a cold look for being such a pain. "Boring or not, we've got a job to do. As for the scientists… Kill them. But hold one for questioning.. We can execute him once we know for certain that there aren't any others doing wacky experiments. Most of these guys are likely insane, so it'd be a good riddance in any case just to erase them from existance."
Turning to look down the moutain once more, the Chuunin nods. "Right then. Let's get going. Once we get closer, we'll find out the best way in." Looking to Ryouji, he shakes his head a bit. "This building is off the grid, and no one knows the layout but those on the inside. We'll have to improvise. Let's move out. Everyone keep your eyes peeled. Look for potential security, booby traps, and openings that we can utilize." Asato then took point, descending the cliff towards the obscure-looking building, moving quickly but carefully across the rocks and paying close attention to his surroundings once he got closer. This may not be too difficult, but they still had to smart about this.

Hanami frowns, "Sadly my senses aren't enough to pick up much. Clearly there're several signatures in the place, but nothing new." She can't help but give Furoo a curious and surprised look at her attitude but then Asato is heading down the cliff and she goes to join him, taking care with her footing to try and be stealthy as much as she possibly can while keeping her senses alert and hands ready to fly into action if or when it comes to it.

Naruko remained 'smart' about things. She kept close to the ground as they began to make their pace down the cliff. She isn't searching out for anything in particular though, instead she keeps most of her attention on her teammates, make sure they are okay in case any traps spring up, or anything else for that matter. Naruko isn't all that interested in seeking their enemies out at the moment, despite her perhaps having the nose for it.
Looking at Asato, Furoo grins, "Hey, I can have an opinion…we kill them then and I'll see if I can keep one breathing." She then chuckles and starts down the way. She slips about quietly while keeping her eyes peeled as well. SHe does, however, slip up closer to Naruko as they move. She peers at her, "You look familiar." She states to Naruko as she rushes down, "We go to the academy together or something?" She hmms and then glances forward.

Ryouji gives a shrug and says, "Guess there's no choice but to succeed." He heads out with Asato saying, "Well, it shouldn't be so bad. Just some freaky creatures, nothing that a sword can't put down." His chakra senses pick up nothing out of the ordinary, besides the chakra ahead of them. Ryouji moves quickly across the rocks, bouncing here and there and leaping where he needs to so he gets closer. He keeps his senses fine tuned, should there be any traps along the way.
As the group get closer to the house, it is that much easier to figure out just what may be wrong with it. A good inspection of the area would reveal a few holes in the cliff face. None of them were big enough for any creature but a bug to get through, suggesting they were useful for other things… Breathing holes, perhaps? But there didn't seem to be any traps. Most of them might be clustered at the only entrance, though. Who knows! All that's known is that there are some beasties in there.
Hanami, now that she's nearer the scientist's home, would be able to actually distinguish some of the chakra signatures, and even pick up two more. In total, there were probably six different ones. Not being a sensor, though, meant that she could not tell the finer details of each critter.
All in all, everything seems to be going smoothly! … until the /someone/ clumsy accidentally kicks a rock forward and right at the doorway. Then… A few fireworks happen. And it blows everyone away sky-high unless they avoid it somehow.

Well, everything so far had seemed fairly ordinary. The group approached the front door carefully, but just when all seemed clear - BOOM! Asato had to jump and dodge from a pair of explosions that had suddenly detonated at the door. Landing safely away, he curses and looks to Ryouji, who had been walking beside him. "What did you DO?" he hissed, shaking his head and looking to the group.
"They will have heard that. Everyone, prepare to fight. We're going in." With that, Asato kicked open the front door and pressed against the inside wall so he could be sure nothing would get him from behind, hugging it as he moved light and stealthy, hoping to heaven that it would take the baddies another minute or two to show up - at least enough time to give everyone their bearings and allow them to get ready and form a plan.

Ryouji looks shocked as the explosions rip apart the area. He dodges the first one, but the second explosion catches him in the back before he even gets his hands up for a hand sign. His back smokes and singes, but he'll live. "Me?! Why do you think I…oh nevermind that now." he calls out to Asato, but quiets down. No sense yelling at Asato right now anyway. He grips his sword and runs towards the entrance. He lets Asato go first though, best to let the most skilled go in first with jutsu flying.

Hanami winces at the noise one of the others makes but that becomes a minor point when suddenly there're explosions all around. Dashing and leaping out of the way she lands by the front door and tries to make her way in quietly, moving off to the side to clear the entrance. In her hand is a kunai, ready and waiting since without knowing the area the kunai would be the easiest tool to use inside. Once in she'll quickly cast her senses out onto the wind to weave through the immediate area to see what she might pick up.

RPCOMBAT: Hanami defends against with a AIR-CURRENTS…24
The explosion was a powerful one, it seems! So much so that both Naruko and Furoo disappeared. For what reason, it is largely unknown. Both were able to escape, so it is likely the pair retreated… Or not. In truth, they were suddenly dashing forth to find those scientists and rip them a new one. How they would find the humans, though, is anyone's guess.
And as sad as it is, the group at the entrance just can't catch a break. The moment they step into the lair, something has to go wrong.
It is almost obvious that this house is not a house. It is a huge open-space that is designed specifically for combat. Like an arena. Facing the group are four huge beasts. There is … a rabbit? Mutated, of course. Its teeth look as sharp as a blade, and its eyes glitter cruelly. The next animal is a bear, but not quite. It has wings sewn crudely into its back, and it is clearly in pain and wanted to attack the first thing it saw. Namely: Ryouji.
The next two animals were odd ones. The first: a wolf of some sort. The second: a porcupine. Instead of the typical spikes, though, it had kunai on its back, all of them growing outward. The wolf seemed rabid, and it stood on its hind legs, sniffing at the air. Until it found something to attack: Hanami. The wolf-thing started running at the wind-user, full speed ahead, and slashed at her with sharp claws.
Asato had to deal with the porcupine and bunny, of all things. Bunny HOP! If he doesn't move, the bunny will end up crashing down on him. And the porcupine shot out a bunch of 'quills' at the Hatake, to make things worse.

Asato took a moment to absorb what it was that he was seeing. It didn't matter how many times he saw them, these mutant beasts always turned his head. But nevermind that now. They were attacking him! He was staring for just a moment too long, because before he knew it, kunai were being launched at him! He managed to duck out of the way of one of them, but moved right in the way of another, causing it to clip his arm and leave a sizeable gash. On top of this, the mutant bunny leapt at him from behind, and he found himself squashed to bits under its furry rump. How embarrassing.
"Kill the beasts!" he cried out to the team in the most concise order that he could give under these circumstances, escaping from beneath the bunny and giving it quite a shock with a round of lightning soulstrikes!

Ryouji frowns and says, "I wasn't going to play with them." He charges in, side stepping the bear's charge as he slides lightning cutter out in a slice. He grips it tighter, charging it with chakra and reverses the cut, slashing upwards leaving a trail of crackling lightning. "Common, you bear…I've got one that'll love playing with you, in just a second."

Hanami takes in the open area immediately, including the poor beasts that're set against them. Even with only a quick look she can tell these creatures have been mistreated, beyond just the horrible experiments done on them. She can't help but feel bad for the poor things, despite the bipedal wolf chasing her down to slash at her. If only there was a chance…but she also wasn't going to try and let it take her out either. With the wind at her command she blurs with speed, dodging and twisting smoothly out of the way of the claws. With a short distance between them she frowns at the creature as her hands form the signs before lifting her left hand and dropping it as she makes the air around the beast thick and oppressive, coming down on it to knock him down. She then follows it up with her wind laced kunai and can't stop herself from saying "I'm sorry," and wishing she could find a better way.

The bunny makes a great leap to avoid getting pummeled to death by lightning, not wanting to get hurt. It and the porcupine seem to be great friends, as the pair are working together to try and keep Asato down. The bunny once again launches itself into the air to try and strike Asato, knocking him over so that the porcupine can aim and fire its kunai-quills again.
Ryouji's beary opponent roars and blocks the sword strike with its wings. The feathers were made of metal, interestingly enough, but that doesn't stop electricity from running through the metal and shocking the bear. It lets out a loud roar of unhappiness and swipes a massive paw at the Reizei twice
Mr. Wolf looks a bit hungry, and he is relentless. The burst of wind that Hanami attempts to knock it over with is powerful, but he seems unphased, and the wind-laced kunai ends up stuck in its arm, but it ignores it for two powerful claw-slashes.

Asato couldn't believe it. This shaped bunny was strong AND fast! It managed to dodge all of his lightning strikes before coming at him again with another strong bounce. It was too bad it got him. Again. Talk about making a guy look bad. Still, he couldn't afford to waste any time, and he quickly pushed out from under the heavy bunny and focused lightning chakra to the soles of his feet, which propelled him swiftly across the floor and out of the way of the kunai attacks. He would have to find a way to take them both out at once…
Pulling out his sealed scroll, he unfurled it with a burst of chakra which launched a flurry of senbon needles at the two creatures, aiming to injure them long enough for him to come in with something stronger. He just needed time..

Ryouji stands his ground, watching the bear swipe with both claws. Suddenly he slides to the right, using his speed to blur his image for a second. But the second claw he intercepts with his sword, slicing at the paw and with any luck cutting it off. Stupid claw. Ryouji gives the blade a spin to reverse his grip as he starts to rap, "Bear, porcupine, wolf and bunny, this is crazy, it's not so funny. Going to cut these guys down to size. Show them how to move, show them how to groove. Yo check it, these raps are fine, but seeing these guys, they're wasting my time. So I'm going to show them how to shine. So stand back guys, show's about to begin. Reizei Ryouji, for the win! First I'm going to deal with the bear, because it's only fair. It's got wings and that's not right! Going down in pieces tonight!" He flicks his blade over, shooting out a bit of reflected light before putting his hand out to fire a cone of electricity out at the bear.

Hanami can't keep the frustration from her face, why couldn't she…?! She growls a bit as she twists and glides away from the slashing claws of the angry wolf beast. She gives it another shot, part of her still can't just try and cut down the abused beast, at least not yet. So one more time her hands flash through the signs as she gestures, trying to pin the wolf down witih dense air. This time though she moves through another set of signs to use the air around the wolf, setting it spinning rapidly till it would begin to slice into it from all sides. Maybe she can get it to submit to her…

Suddenly, Mr. Bun-Bun over here looks a bit like a porcupine thanks to Asato! Senbon fill the rabbit, and it makes a sound that is pretty painful to listen to… Definitely not a pleasant sound at all. The bunny isn't sure what to do except try to slam into Asato again. The difference this time is that the hop would send the senbon deeper into its skin, injuring it further. Asato would also get the porcupine with his scroll attack, but this gives the porcupine more ammo, and Senbon and Kunai both wind up flying at the Hatake.
Ryouji's sword cuts into the bear's paw, making it leap back to avoid the next to strikes. And it has beady eyes that make it hard to shine light into… Unless one is truly exact. The bear keeps its injured paw out of the fight, lashing out at Ryouji a few more times, but now it seems to be trying to retreat.
Apparently all Hanami needed was a bit of anger. The wolf's growl turns into a yelp as it finds itself pinned to the ground, then sliced up. It can't even move, thanks to the wind pressure, and is forced to take the onslaught of attacks.

Maybe attacking with senbon /wasn't/ the smartest idea. Because the bunny was still hopping (with spikeys), and the porcupine was still shooting (with more spikeys), and by the time all was said and done, ASATO was beginning to look like a porcupine! He hissed as the sharp metal objects lodged themselves into his body wherever they struck, and he brought his hands together to start molding some crackling chakra. "Invent you, beasts! Let's see how you like THIS!" And he unleashed wave after wave of lightning stars, his chakra shaped into sharp shuriken which attacked the animals at every angle.

Ryouji couldn't help but notice that Asato was having issues. While Ryouji could go on for quite a while, his leader couldn't as far as Ryouji could see. Ryouji mumbles, "Got to finish this quickly." He pushes his chakra to maximum level, as far as he can currently push it and releases it sending a ring of chakra out from around him like a shockwave. His eyes light up with blue green flames as he goes into his blur master form. Then, grips his sword before disappearing and reappearing at each animal, slicing it at a vulnerable spot, sheathing the sword, and speed porting over to another animal. He ends up back where he started, clicking his sword back into its saya.
Hanami watches her attacks actually hit, admittedly not without a touch of surprise at least for the first. She knows the others are having a time with their beasts but she feels sorry for hers. Moving through the signs she reinforces the oppressive air, walking up to the beast confidently to put off an aura of strength and dominance. While she walks she keeps eye contact with the wolf firmly. As she stops before it she looks down, "Submit. I know they hurt you, but that doesn't mean you have to behave the way you do. It's over, I won. I will try to help you. Now behave and submit!" At the last words she makes a fist and punches the wolf right on the nose like a misbehaving dog! Her words probably wont exactly be understood, but she projects her feelings along with her stance as clearly the dominant one, the alpha if you will. Deep down she honestly has no clue what she's doing but she does truly want to help this creature if she can. So she projects an aura of dominance over the wolf that she's brought down before her and hopes it'll reach it. That and punching it in the nose! After that she waits to see what it does.

Thanks to the combination of attacks, Ryouji and Asato are able to both take down their beasts, and Naruko and Furoo show up empty-handed, but a bit bloody. They might have taken it a bit far on their end, but hey, the mission was accomplished! Hanami was able to … well, shock the wolf into submission, and it whimpers, ears folding down… just like a dog. Well, that could be part of its base? Who knows. These creatures were mutated a bit too much. That's why Kumo took on this case!
Hanami gives the wolf a curt nod when it whines, submitting. The oppressive air ceases and she places a hand on its head, "Come. You'll come with me now, we'll get you patched up as long as you listen to me." Her voice is stern, yet also caring. She then turns and beckons the creature to her, assuming it'll follow which it does. She looks to the others and gives them a bit of a sheepish look and shrugs, "I couldn't, the poor thing. I'm going to see what I can do for it, it'll be my responsibility. But I'm glad everyone is safe. Asato, need some help de-needling yourself?"
Asato frowns at his student and shakes his head, yanking kunai and senbon from his skin with slight winces. "I can manage," he grumbles out, still embarrassed from being sat on so many times. Deliberate bunny.
Ryouji frowns and looks at the wolf, but, if it's settled down and can obey, then it might be ok. Ryouji says, "Ok, let's head back to the village." He looks over at Asato and nods, "You did a good job, I'd still be fightning these things if you wern't here." He drops his blur form and lets the fire die from his eyes, but slumps his shoulders, looking visibly tired for a few moments. It always takes a good chunk of his stamina whenever he maxes out.
