Sailing the seas! [Team Gosei][M][C]

Apparently this mission was also sharing a few compliments. Gosei's summon apparently stuck out like a sore thumb. This maybe a problem if the pirates tend to look up. I would prefer to pursue by being hidden, but according to the giant thirty meter long snake, that was definitely not an option. “There's a ship moving eat, just south of your position, Yukikage. It looks suspicious, keep track of it, I will scout ahead.” Gosei's voice muttered beside me as well as deep within my left ear.

I glance down to my left to where the Yukikage would be and noticed the ship clearly. “Do you want me to send Ember down?” I say softly to Gosei, perhaps my Eagle would be able to get a closer view before everyone else does. A few moments later I began feeling a slight change in movement. 'Don't tell me we are going to bank...' I glance over to the Hokage for a moment, but he seemed clam. Next both of his hands were placed upon both my shoulders, I imagine that the fur of the landed coat I was given would feel soft against his fingers if he wasn't wearing gloves. And as I suspected, the giant summon banked.

My fingers dug into the snake's scales and I shut my eyes tight, stifling a scream. My voice when I scream can be very loud and will definitely catch the eyes of the pirates. My entire body tensed and I could have sworn I began crying. I just prayed that my eye-liner didn't smudge. “Please don't do that again.” I say, my voice shaky. Ember also banked, but in her way, and as soon as I opened my eyes she was soaring beside me. I wonder how she can put up with that. “Jackpot, shall I engage?”

Kazetora's voice soon popped up over the device, he was telling Gosei to stay put. I remain quiet, but at least my fingers have loosened on the summon. “Sorry if I hurt you big guy.” I say to Citali, my nails are rather long and would have most likely done something. “No you butterball, look at my position. I'm not even at the location of that ship. There's a dot that looks like a fortress on the coast where that ship is heading...” I glance in the direction of where Gosei is talking. He is right, the dot must be the Pirate's destination. “But how do you know that's” A point in the vessel's direction “The pirate ship! You just can't go and attack any ship because it's big you know.” I say firmly.

Once Citali slowed down after dropping a few hundred feet, Gosei would remove his hands from my shoulders. I immediately felt a blush coming on when I suddenly felt a soft, warm hand touching the side of my face. “You know that I can't promise that, but you shouldn't worry, I'm here.” The hokage says. His voice sounds so reassuring, and I am suddenly dizzy. But Citali however, was somewhat cool regarding my apology. Apparently I did not harm him; good.

Gosei then explained that it was a pirate ship, and that he had excellent eye sight. I arch a brow but shakes my head. Now is not the time to question. A crackling noise sounded over the device as another Reddo's voice spoke. Gosei then turned his head to the east and spoke. The fortress is down there. Something tells me that there will be a fight soon. “Oh fun...” I mutter, low enough for no-one to hear. I am concerned for my own safety, but I cannot let the others know that I am afraid.

It sounded weird listening to Gosei's voice in two ways, although when he spoke through the device he sounded more clearer beside me. “...Reddo, new plan, henge into a pirate and get onto the deck. I will shoot something flashy into the air in three minutes, it will look like a distress signal. That will surely attract any pirate vessel to that spot. Shout and point a bit to it to make sure they get it. They will probably call in their mates, bringing them all together.” By then the large summon would stop and hover in the air. I am sure that we are well hidden by the snow, as no-one's gaze appears to be drawn to it.

Next, Gosei would perform a few handseals and warn Rin and myself to either close our eyes or look away. I turn my head and look out, down at the sea below. “Engaging!” Gosei's voice then came up beside me and on the comm, my head snapped back in his direction. Catali soon began to descend toward the main gate of the fortress. I slowly moved to my feet and bent my knees in a crouch. A fight is definitely going to happen. My stomach fell in time with the summon as it neared the gate. “Ember, stay close!” I barked, shooting my eagle a look.

Everyone beat me to the performing jutsu bit. The entire gate was destroyed as Catali released a giant fire ball to it and Rin, my female teammate had performed a few jutsus of her own. Both towers were taken care of, causing the entire entrance to become unguarded. I jumped off the summon and moved forward slightly, drawing out my knife with my right hand. I decided to stay put for the time being and wait for someone to move a head. There was no point in me moving forward as I am clearly the shinobi who is unexperienced.
