Fast Track to the Exams! [Travel/Private]

The sun was shining high in the sky as Zeki set on top of his winged mechanical device doing some last minute maintenance to it. The flying machine was in near-perfect condition which was actually a remarkable achievement considering how thoroughly destroyed the trees were in the last crash. After buffing out the last few dents on the machine the Sadojin slid down the right side of it onto the ground to check the rest of his gear; a electric compass, a collection of maps, a pack six blood pills, a pack of three soldier pills, two glow sticks, and his sniper goggles that he wore whenever he flew.

"All my gear checks out. Preflight checks have been completed. Emergency supplies are in order. I can take off at any time, very good." Zeki talks to himself as he goes through his mental check list. Everything was in order on his end. Wait, not everything was in order just yet. He reached into the small pile of his stuff to retrieve a map of the continent and his electric compass. He opens up the map and starts to plan the route he would take his winged mechanical device through. After plotting the course he plugs in the coordinates for Taro Island into his electric compass which gives off a beep of acknowledgement that it went through. Zeki nods in satisfaction before entering his current coordinates into the compass as the starting point and setting Taro Island as the destination which would let the compass alert Zeki if he started to wander off course.

After that Zeki waited until the twins had got there to inform them of the travel options he had thought up. "I can easily fly with my WMD here while checking my compass on the direction we are heading. If you can fly too that would be most optimal. However if you are not able to fly but are able to, ah, glide through the air I could provide a rope of sand for you to grasp as I fly so I could pull you behind me. If you are not able to do either than I can provide a platform of sand for you to ride on as I fly, though I would require more frequent resting to recover my chakra. I am able to do all three and am open to different plans." He informs them. Afterwards, whatever they decide on doing, he would get in his WMD and take off in the direction of Taro Island.

Outfit being used:


Sooner or later Fumiko would, arrive in the area that they had agreed to meet. She would, walk up in a delicate manner. "Hi, Zeki. Are you ready to go?" She'd ask politely. Right away as if he planned for her to ask that question Zeki went on about how he planned to get them there. At first Fumiko, didn't know how to respond, but then she knew due to Junko telling her that Zeki asked if they were okay with heights and speed earlier. So Fumiko's cat like ears and tail would react with excitement as she gave Zeki a simple smile. "I'm fine with your plans. Me and Junko can in fact can glide. We'll be right behind you." Fumiko would nod. 


After talking Ranzu seemed to be getting ready for take off. So as he did that Fumiko would step well out of his whirlwind range and, soon channel up her chakra within the wind around her. She'd wrap her tail around her waist before jumping straight into the air at a blinding speed. The leaves being plucked from a few branches within her vicinity. She'd launch up higher in mid air at total of three times before settling in the sky to fix her posture into one that enables her to glide smoothly using the air beneath her. As she glided well above the ground Fumiko looked around waiting for Zeki to come around with the rope he spoke of earlier.

[Ranzu]

After learning that the twins would be taking the gliding option, Zeki turned some nearby earth into a meter of sand. Then the Sadojin willed one end of it to attach to the winged mechanical device and stretched the rest of it out to make it into a meter long impromptu rope. Zeki checked the the sand rope over to make sure it would not snap so easily, pouring a good chunk of his chakra into it to reinforce it. After he was satisfied with the rope, Zeki snapped the pair of goggles onto his face and climbed in the winged mechanical device.

Sending a small stream of chakra through the device gave it enough power to take off in the air and Zeki smoothly set it in a long turn of the area. He mostly did this to watch the twins as they jumped into the air so he could plan how to get the rope to them. After they stabilized themselves in the air the Sadojin brought the winged mechanical device around at a slow speed, aiming to pass over the twins by a third of a meter. Enough clearance to not put them in danger but at the speed he was flying it would be child's play for them to grab a hold of the sand rope.

After Fumiko had safely grabbed a hold of the rope Zeki would check his electric compass on the direction he needed to head to. Correcting the direction of his winged mechanical device was easy, even with a passenger if a little bit more demanding in the chakra department, and the Sadojin quickly picked up speed. Round way trip to the exams starts here!

grass.

grass EVERYWHERE.

As Fumiko glided forth, she would watch the scenery before her. It was definitely a pretty sight. For some reason she found no need to use a mere compass to know where north was. And there was surely not a single way that she memorized a map so it must have been the work of that ritual. Death seemed to really pull through. 

The sounds of something shooting through the wind began to pick up in Fumiko's ears as they moved in the general direction of wear it was coming from. Zeki was getting near. Soon enough she would look up as Zeki flew over them at a very well calculated speed which allowed her to grab hold tightly to the rope. After such contact Zeki took the reigns from here as Fumiko held on for the ride. 

The loose ends of her clothing flowing even;y in the wind as Zeki picked up speed. Now that she thinks about it, its a good thing he came. There is no telling what could be happening at the Pre-Chuunin Exam event right now. No way of telling who is going nor, what to expect. The next positive is that she and Junko can trust Zeki. He is a good person. Even if he is more a rock than man. Fumiko tightened her grip as she could already see the edges of grasslands appearing someway ahead. In no time at all they should make it there. Most likely only within a few hours which is good. Great thing Zeki knew where he was going already because then the twins could simply relax for a bit... This was going to be a fun ride.

[Ranzu]

The grass lands of, well, the land of grass passed below the flyers at a remarkable speed. Truly the power of flight was one of the best things to have ever happened to a being that was essentially a rock with a fake outer body made of sand. To soar through the air above so many bodies of water that would otherwise hinder him was a true miracle!

Beep!went he electic compass that was held before him by some sand, alerting the Sadojin that he had veered too far of course. "Right, enough day dreaming. We have a exam to complete. And mission to finish." Zeki mumbles to himself as he steers the winged mechanical device back on course. The electric compass quieted itself down right after. Zeki sighed in relief before looking back to check on the twins as it had been a while since they had taken off. And unlike Zeki who was in a machine built for the sole purpose of flying, those two were having to stay in the air through pure chakra power via a jutsu. No easy feat.

Still after checking up on the twins for a moment Zeki turns his attention back to flying, correcting his course a bit as he does so. Up ahead was the land of fire and it's large forests which should not be a problem. The major hurdle is what comes after the land of fire, the largest body of water in the world: the ocean. Every Sadojin's ancestral enemy...

(Move to land of fire)

[The Bearer of Bad News]

remarkably, nothing is on fire

...yet

[Nekomata Minh]

A long time coming and, so far their travels were going along rather nicely. It is kind of relaxing to be up here. Is this how birds feel sometimes? Most likely not. Unless one were to really enjoy the wonders of fight Fumiko suspects that this view wouldn't be so amazing. Afterall humans weren't meant to fly...but, then again most of the ninja world isn't exactly humane.

Fumiko's arm was cramping up for being suspended in such a position so she would grab hold with her other hand, then let go with the original and, let it rest. It was around this time that a device began to beep. Was Zeki's flying machine running out of power? What was the issue? Fumiko's attention was fixated on the flying Sadojin in front of them as her eyes trained hard for any sign to prepare for something. However once Zeki hand made a quick change in direction the beeping stopped. Afterwards no further noises would be made. Wonderful. Fumiko would remain calm then. She wouldn't ask anything about that matter to keep Zeki focused. She simply have him a comforting nod that she was ok and, let him fly.

The sun so far has remained in the sky for a good while which is definitely a plus in their case. Perhaps she shouldn't even ponder about it to avoid brewing bad wishes on their travels. The land of fire is a rather luscious place in terms of greenery though. Fumiko, let her free hand, split the currents of wind in between her fingers as she watched the ground shift below. The speeds they were using was surely giving time  run for its money. At this rate they can make it before sun down. If so that means they will surely be all set to prepare before the real thing starts. Only then will the twins show some true colors and make Stone proud.

The winged mechanical device crested another forest at a respectable speed which caused the large body of water named the ocean to come into view. A bolt of fear coursed through Zeki's body when he saw that much water before him but he pushed it to the back of his mind. While water was bad it was not inherently fatal to Sadojins and his body could handle being soaked if all he had to do was simply fly this machine.

With his mind made up and his heart steeled for what was coming next, Zeki piloted the winged mechanical device over the short distance to the ocean and then onto the large body of water itself. If the Sadojin had lungs he would undoubtedly be breathing heavily by now but the fear was not quite that bad as long as he stayed high above the water. So the winged mechanical device did just that, staying at least one hundred meters above the water at all times. So focused was Zeki on maintaining his altitude that he had to correct his course from the electronic compass' beeping dozens of times per hour during that trip.

Still Zeki made sure to turn around to look at the twins in order to check up on them. Despite the fear he felt at being near such a large body of flowing water, the mission and teammates came first. The ocean journey was the longest stretch but not by much so Zeki just had to hold on for a bit more.

(Travel to Taro Island)

[The Bearer of Bad News]

you arrive on taro island and remain dry doing so

go you!

[Ranzu]

After the long flight Zeki was quite tired however the ending point was in sight. The electric compass emitted one last beep to signal the end of the journey even further. The Sadojin aimed to set down the winged mechanical device near the city they were suppose to enter the exams at, making sure to allow the twins to make to ground safely.

Once on the ground the Sadojin would store away the winged mechanical device before informing the twins that he planned to enter for the exams as soon as possible. The deadline was fast approaching and who knows what might happened between now and then. So Zeki headed to the city to sign up for the exams.

[Nekomata Minh]

Fumiko, kept a close eye on Zeki for the longest time. She did so because his flying was getting a bit off-base as they passed over the vast waters. Perhaps Zeki is the one that has something making him feel uneasy while on this trip. In all honesty, the twins never really like having nothing but, water to look at either. So as Zeki checked on them, Fumiko had a reassuring look in her eyes as if not to worry.

Either way they were inevitable to make it to the destination that they desired. The beautiful holding grounds of the chuunin exams. It's amazing to see the whole thing rather than it is intimidating.

As Zeki began his decent Fumiko eyed the area below before letting go of the rope early and, landing on her own. The atmosphere was rich with life and, activity. If they didn't arrive in the nick of time, the twins wouldn't mind vacationing here. Even from where she was Fumiko could still hear were Zeki mostly was. So as she let her tail fall loose from around her waist she'd follow him off to the gates of where new beginnings prosper...
