Anastasia walked into the field, looking about curiously and wondering where this person in need of rescue could possibly be. She wore her strapless bustier style top with orange silk shrug and double layered center split dress along with her custom styled gladiatorial sandals. Around her waist is a custom type two utility belt with ten knives, one dungeoneer's compass, and three type E gas mask filter. Clipped to her belt on the right side are two sheathed longswords with a spotlight on the left and a small silk bag with ninety meters of silk thread inside of it at her back.

Around her neck, facing behind her, it a dual filter gas mask loaded with two type E filters and on her back is a medium barrel with a fine iron powder inside. The magnetic woman walked around the field in wonder, maybe someone would meet her here? Or perhaps she had come to the wrong place, so she pulled out the note while wondering this and began to look it over. There had to be something to give a clue.

She wandered that lain and then with a sudden flash of light she threw up her arms in attempt to shield her eyes. With a slight shriek as it happened she blinked several times until her eyes could adjust properly and when she could see again she jumped at the sight. Upon a giant mushroom beside a wrought iron gate sat a giant caterpillar. With a small yelp when it spoke she would take a moment to collect herself before speak, "Uh, I am Anastasia, and... Who are you? Where am I?"

[Zetsumei]

Had it not heard her? She began to shift uncomfortably at it's gaze, her hands constantly going up to touch her headband in her nerves. Raising her voice a bit she would speak again. "Um, did you not hear me? I said my name was Anastasia? Or are you looking for a different answer?" She began to approach the gate and said again, "If that is the case then I am a stranger in a strange land and I seem to have lost my way." Were nothing to stop her she would have stopped about a meter and a half away from the gate.

[Zetsumei]

This was so frustrating, it didn't want her name or what she currently was, what did it want? There were a few things that came to mind, but would the constitute a who or a what. Well, there was only one way to find out and so she spoke once again, "I am Anatasia, Former Slave and Chuunin from Otogakure no Sato and I am here to rescue someone so will you please help me help them?" She looked up at the caterpillar pleadingly, hoping that it would help her, guide her or something.

Zeddicus Karinui

Zedicus disembarked form the ship and with his note in hand made his way towards the centre of the island looking around. His white roman style robes were still worn with the gold tactical vest custom made to look like roman armor. The gold bands worn around his wrists and just above his ankles were on his body with the plane sandals on his feet. Upon the bands and tactical vest he had the waterfall village symbol carved marked upon it. Within the slots he had 3 painting scrolls,  14 ink cartridges, 4 water cartridges and 6 oil cartridges. Technically those items used up all the available slots however he did have a little spot on his vest which held his multiuse brush for quick and easy use too.

In case of emergencies 90 meters of clear silk thread was stitched into his body. It was very painful to move and have placed within his body but if needs must, it must. A wireless radio sat in one ear and around his neck the goggles with 4 different lenses sat within... to be precise those four were:  thermal, underwater, lie detector and anti flash lenses. Through out his white clothing a total of 270 meters of white thread had been stitched, sewn and hidden in three 90 meter sections with another 90 meters of clear silk thread. Then with the remaining yellow basic thread a tribal design had been stitched through his outfit and would be used to hold his tactical vest to his robes so it wouldn't randomly slide off. Thanks to his techniques all of his clothing and the tactical vest were seamless, he used the clans Karinui techniques to put it together to the fabric melted into itself.

Looking around there was nothing for him to see that would give him a clue as to what was happening and he would scratch his head a little bit through the red locks on his head... what was going on.

The caterpillar shook his head again, his face filled with some untold emotion. "No, no, no. Who are you?" It asked. Nothing around her changed, nothing gave a clue to what he really wanted to know.

A blinding light would appear before Zeddicus. When his vision clear he would find himself in the world Ana had found herself in. Indeed just a little ways up he would hear and soon see the girl arguing with the caterpillar.

[Zetsumei]

Her shoulders slumped a little bit, almost defeated, she did not know what it was looking for. The woman was not the most educated and could not fathom what this caterpillar might want from her. There was little else she could think of at the moment, but what did come to mind she said, "I am the combination of everything I have experienced and done in my time among the living, it is not something I can really explain." She really could only hope that this was what the creature was after.

Zeddicus Karinui

The sudden flash took him by surprise as he began to look around at the mysterious land around him. ahead of him a lady stood by an iron gate.. quite clearly having an argument with a mushroom.. or at least getting frustrated about it. Cautiously he would approach and look to find a blue caterpillar upon the mushroom... What the... he mumbled to himself. whats going on here he called at the woman from about 5 meters away. His nerves were on edge ready to leap and jump into action.. he was in a strange land... stranger than normal with a stranger arguing with an insect of all things.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

The caterpillar simply shook his head. "Who are you?!" It demanded, now seeming irate.

[Zetsumei]

The former slave let out a yelp when the man spoke to her and dashed behind the mushroom stem, hiding from the male voice that called out to her. She was not prepared for this, the large caterpillar had been one thing, but a male appearing behind her was another entirely. She tried to calm herself and collect what she could to answer the question that she seemed to be unable to answer correctly. For now the woman tried to put the man from her mind to think, unable to think of something she just said from behind the giant mushroom stalk, "I am just someone small in a very big world looking to do something to help others while I can."

Zeddicus Karinui

The leap and sudden movement of the woman did startle him a little but he didn't react angrily.. he had taken her by surprise and instead he chuckled slightly under his breath. Do't worry little miss.. not here to cause you any harm.. I was summoned to help. Turning his head he would hear the caterpillar demanding to know who everyone is and the girl replying. He raised an eyebrow and once she was done would reply too. My name is Zeddicus, Chuunin of takigakure and im seeking power. A letter asked for my skills in return for power...I'm impatient too

The caterpillar retreated from its mushroom, moving more quickly than one would expect from a creature of its size. Now it coiled before the gate, drawing itself up to nearly its full height. "Who are you?" It asked, eyes shifting between the pair.

As it asked again a strange chanting would be heard from nowhere. Back by the mushroom a smile would appear, hanging in the air. "La la la... la la la la la!" Slowly a shape began to materialize, the translucent form of a cat unlike any had ever seen. It was gray, with eyes far too wide, and its stripes were shocking shades of teal and purple.
