Hokage Prefect Rebirth

[Exile]

Sull usually clouded eyes turn focused for a moment, although the always present sorrow remains.
Sull: "Not much point in not fighting. Just don't rely on me... I can always run."
He smiles a very fake smile, then turns away, unwilling to discuss or explain his decision any further. Wraknorian looks at him, smiles, and then looks back at Gatsa. He shrugs.
Wraknorian: "That is his decision. Now there's only yours to await."
Wraknorian faces all this with his usual, calm expression, although his body does show a bit more tension than usual.

[Vegeta]

GATSA: ".........."

SANO: ".....Lord if I may suggest something."

GATSA: "What is it, Sanosuke?"

SANO: "Perhaps Wraknorian and I should go to Yagyu and defend them. Most of the enemy soldiers in Ryoko were human, and would pose little problem."

GATSA: "I'd appreciate that."

SANO: "Are you up for it, Wraknorian?"

[Exile]

Wraknorian nods.
Wraknorian: "I am ready to go. How much time to we have?"
Sull looks at him, with a tired look on his face, then answers the question not meant for him.
Sull: "Not much. I'll stay with Lord Gatsa. The wind might know things he doesn't."
He smiles a forced smile, then hides his face again, putting his forehead on his knees, still in the same crouched position as before.

[Vegeta]

SANO: "Not a whole lot of time, but enough time. We're gonna have to walk to Yagyu from Ryoko though. I don't know anyone in Yagyu..."

Sano walks up to Wraknorian.

SANO: "Well, whenever you're ready, just grab ahold of my shoulder and I'll take us to Ryoko."

[Exile]

Wraknorian smiles.
Wraknorian: "I am ready anytime you are. I'd fly from Ryoko, but I doubt that such a waste of energy would be wise under these circumstances."

Sull rolls back and forth a few centimeters, looking up into the sky. Though it is not raining, clouds cover the sky above Sull.

[Vegeta]

SANO: "We'll be off then."

Wraknorian grabs ahold of Sano's shoulder as instructed, and they are gone within an instant.

Not even a second passes before they arrive in Ryoko, once again beside Red.

RED: "DAMMIT! Stop doin' that!"

SANO: "Sorry, we'll be out of your way shortly."

RED: "Oh? Where you headed too?"

SANO: "We're going to attempt to stop the oncoming assault on Yagyu."

RED: "...hm, ok. I'll go with you for this one."

SANO: "That's fine. We're going....now."

RED: "Yeh yeh, c'mon then... 'ey, Goku? You in?"

[Tasuke]

Goku nods.

Goku: "Sure! Count me in. Besides, you really don't have to ask. I follow Red, regardless."

[Exile]

Sull rocks back and forth a bit, listening to whatever fragments of information the wind carries to him, he looks at Gatsa for a while, without saying a word.


Far away, Wraknorian looks more at ease than before.
Wraknorian: "The more, the merrier..."
He pauses a moment, thinking about what he has said.
Wraknorian: "Except, of course, the word merry has no place in warfare..."

[Vegeta]

Sano looks at Wraknorian with a smirk.

SANO: "If it involves keeping the peace, it's quite merriful. Such an occasion is also hard to come by."

Red is adjusting the bandolier across his chest which houses his scabbard and sword. He then leans over and picks his shield up off of the ground, and hangs it on the handle of his sword.

RED: "You guys ready? Let's go."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

RYUUSEI: "We've finally arrived."

COMMANDER: "Lord Ryuusei! We need to have a word with you. It's time for your briefing!"

RYUUSEI: "Let's go everyone."

COMMANDER: "I'm sorry, sir. Just you. It's confidential."

RYUUSEI: "...I see. Very well then."

CAPTAIN: "The rest of you come with me. You'll need to have a physical before you can go into combat. We wanna make sure our troops are in 100% shape. Let's go, fellas."

Ryuusei walks over to a tent while the others follow the captain to a different tent.

CAPTAIN: "Have a seat here an' the Instructor will be with you shortly."

[Exile]

Wraknorian: "Yes, you're right. We have no time to waste. Let's go."
He begins to walk.

Sull stands up, and kicks away a rock lying around, then turns to Gatsa.
Sull: "So... where are we headed now?"

[Tasuke]

Goku: "Well, c'mon then. Let's go."

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Mumbling, Sasuke stuffed his hands into his pockets. He ambled after the Captain, in his regular slouched position.

Kenshin, on the other hand, watched as Ryuusei dissapeared into the tent. Wondering if he should wait, or follow after the Captain and Sasuke.

Sasuke: "Oi, ya comin'?"

Kenshin glanced over at Sasuke and nodded, following after the Captain and him. They took their seats as instructed.

Kenshin: "What do you think we'll have to do?"

Sasuke, who was hiding behind his book, peeked over at Kenshin.

Sasuke: "Probably goin' to tell us to blow some stuff up."

[Vegeta]

The instructor comes out.

INSTRUCTOR: "Ok, ladies. Strip 'em! There're some booths over there you don't 'embarass yourself'.... now get movin'! We don't have alot of time to waste!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

SANO: "Red, do you still have that Pegasus Wing I gave you awhile back?"

RED: "Yeh....why?"

SANO: "Because all of us can fly....Goku, you have one too, right?"

[Tasuke]

Goku: "Yeah, I still have it."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Kenshin: "What?! I thought they were gonna make us blow things up!"

Sasuke: "Huh? Oh, I dunno."

Shrugging, the Jounin put away his book and wandered off into a booth.

After Kenshin calmed down from the surprise, he too went into a booth.

[Vegeta]

A few moments later two other soldiers walk in.

INSTRUCTOR: "Look, ladies.. your dates are here!"

SOLDIER1: "....ugh.. I had to do this last time..."

SOLDIER2: "Don't whine! You should seen th' big oaf I had to check over!"

SOLDIER1: "....neh...."

The soldiers walk over and behind the booths, searching for scars or signs of bones having been broken.

SOLDIER1: "....well, no signifigant damage here...."

SOLDIER2: "....BWAH HAH HAH HAH! NO WONDER YOU'RE SINGLE!"

Soldier 2 points and laughs at Kenshin.

INSTRUCTOR: "How's he check out?"

SOLDIER2: "Fine, fine... heh heh heh!"

INSTRUCTOR: "Well now, ladies. It's time to see how you do in combat."

[Tasuke]

Sasuke wanders out of the booth again, fully dressed. He glances over as Kenshin too emerges from his booth.

Sasuke: "Hey, what was all that ruckus about?"

Kenshin: "It was nothing!"

Sasuke stares at Kenshin, who was being unusually loud. Wiggling a finger at his forehead protector in thought, he gasps, as he comes to a conclusion. Pointing at Kenshin;

Sasuke: "Hey! I know! Heh heh heh heh! It's cause you have a sma-"

The Instructor speaks up, cutting Sasuke off. They both turn and look at him. The two follow the Instructor to the next area for further isntruction. Kenshin keeps his head down and follows the instructor. Sasuke on the other hand stuffs his hands in his pockets, resuming his usual slouched position. He follows, laughing.

Sasuke: "Heh heh heh heh heh heh...."
