.:The Great Flood:. - Event

[zuka]

And thus would the torrential downpours cascade upon the Capital City. The flowing waters would begin to rush silently throughout the streets, their levels slowly rising. And as the shrieks of men and women echoed through the thundering storm, the storm would only increase in ferocity. With clouds stretching on for miles and miles, little hope for survival as present. The water now approaching five feet, the citizens of the Capital would be attempting to survive. With fleeting footsteps would they approach the tops of the tallest buildings. Some would merely attempt to set sail upon the gushing rivers that now ran fiercely through the streets. And as winds began to increase, some would find themselves reaching the point of death. Their only chance of survival rests within the hands of a few shinobi.

"..what the hell is a Suna Ninja doing here?"

Magojiro would stand croutched atop a building a decent distance away, eyes locked upon the flying Ink creature. Never before had he seen such a thing, not even when he was drunk could he imagine such an awkward creation. His blue armor would make a soft ping sound as the drops of rain would reflect off of it's steel surface, his face guard also making the same sounds. The capital was in a bad way it seemed, the water level was rising faster then most could climb which would soon engulf those unfortunate souls. Shaking his head, he would set to work.

OOC: Heihachi's posts are voided. He has not even traveled to Taki no Kuni, and he is also in seperate threads. Thank you.

[joshcrisp]

Okay, I'm taking over the event
*kicks Iizuka "Go on, get going!"*
so play nice, Okay? The way it'll work is fairly standard, and I'll update the posting order at the bottom of my threads, so no-one's confused.

Heihachi, can you delete your second post please. One because it's way more than six seconds, two, it keeps posting order neat, and three because you probably don't want all them people to die ^__^ PM sent.

Any OOC stuff, PM me, m'kay?

That said, let's get this show on the road.


Heihachi[/b]
As you dive down towards the group of survivors on your bird, you realize that the ink is running faster and faster in the torrential downpour. You make it to the roof alright, but te same cannot be said of your mount.

A small black puddle of ink is formed and swiftly whisked away by the wind, mingling with the raindrops. It's highly likely that, given the ambient moisture of the atmosphere normally, and add to that a tropical monsoon - Ink Jutsus will not serve you well here.

The group of people huddled together on the roof look up at you in desperation, hope all but gone from their eyes. There is an old man, and an old woman, a young couple with a little girl, and a puppy, currently being held by the little girl.

All of them look bone-weary and drenched to the skin. It's impossible to guage just how long they've been up here, but with no immediate method of escape, they're looking distraught as ever.

Magojiro[/b]
Noticing the Suna nin, you have little time to be surprised or even confused, having problems of your own to worry about. With an ominous crumbling sound, that fills ou with dread, the building from which you have your vantage point lurches suddenly.

A slight tremor and then all is still again. The peace lasts a second and then the building rumbles again, this time listing slightly to one side. With a final tremor, the last of the buildings foundations is entirely eroded and the whole thing starts to fall, like a mighty tree, into the water.

“Shit!”

Shouted Mago as it was drowned out by the sound of the constant downpour. Flexing his legs, he would give a powerful push as he jumped towards the next building. Had he not been as fit and fast as he was, he most likely would have ended up beneath such a structure. A sigh would escape his lips as he watched the water that rushed through the city streets. There had to be someone who needed his help. “What can I do..?” he asked himself quietly as he tried to figure out a way to relieve the citizens who fled for their lives.

[joshcrisp]

Magojiro[/u]
The building behind you crashes into the water with an almighty splash, sending a wash of water rippling down the streey, a miniature tsunami. Further down the road, about twenty feet away from you, floating on what appears to be a door, is a young girl, about eight years old.

Her eyes are wide in terror and her pigtails are flying back with the force of the wind. The wave is rushing down the streey, a good ten feet above the water-level and threatens to capsize her. Should it hit her, she will almost certainly perish. The wave will hit her, you estimate, in approximately one round.[/size]

[sakushi]

Great peals of lightning rent the through the sable sky. Incandescent light illuminating the vast expanse of Taki no Kuni's capitol in an insant before returning to its ebon shroud. Sonorous thunder sounded across the landscape, echoing and reverberating through the very foundations of the buildings themselves. All the meanwhile sheets of driving rain blanketed the city.

Ivory hand clasping her onyx cloak tighter Izumi Akiko made her way up the dilapitated stairs of the building she had just managed to find refuge in from the storms wrath. Azure occuli would gaze out upon the city from her vantage point atop the buildings roof, noting the reckless destruction with a hint of pity. As a shinobi of Takikagure it was her job to save these lives, moreso her family's samurai pride wouldn't allow these innocents to die. Cerulean iris's ever alert, Izumi would strain her eyes through the rain, trying to find the nearest person to help.

“I have to move!”

And so the young male Shinobi would shift into high gear, needing to make sure first and foremost that she was safe. Releasing all fears, the air around him would become heavily laden with chakra as the air pressure picked up. The first gate would be released, giving him that extra burst of power he needed. “Hang on!” he shouted, steeling himself against the biting wind. With the power of a Shunshin, he would move down across the water swiftly, rushing towards the little girl faster then the wave. Using his speed boost, he would attempt to grab the small girl as he moved by, quickly jumping into the air once more. He would aim to land on the nearest roof top, where he would be able to once more scan the waters.

“Are you okay?”

Okay, noce to have you with us Izumi, posting order is changed as per below.

Izumi
As Izumi reached the building's roof, she would see, across the street, in a seperate building, a family desperately reaching down over the rooftop. In the highest window, a young child was straining to reach up to the grasping hands of the family above. Clearly there was no roof access, so they had decided to improvise. Their shouts of encouragement which turned to dismay were lost in the wind, as the young boy fell backwards out of the window and down towards the churning waters, ten floors down.

Magojiro

The little girl simply whimpered, as Magojiro's expert hands scooped her from almost certain doom and into a timely rescue. Looking back, the small door she had been on was capsized and reduced to nothing more than matchwood, flotsam on the tide. The rain was increasing, and the little girl clung to him tightly, too scared and cold to speak. Under the torrential downpour, he could dimly make out another couple, old and frail, looking out of the top floor window, clearly trapped in a building with no way to the roof. They may be in no immediate danger, but their eyes were pleading for salvation, and they were watching the nearing tide with increasing worry. Further away, a group of families appeared to be erecting some tent like structure on the hospital roof.

Posting order is now
Izumi
Magojiro
Shinji

well, since no-one seems to be bothered to post, I'm gonna call this an END.

At first, no-one noticed anything. The city was cold and the civilians were wretched - damp and frightened, not wanting to cling to a vain hope, certain that this was as low as they could be brought. Their mighty city humbled, buildings collapsed, people dead, the streets awash with water. Then it became apparent. The rain was stopping. Instead of the thundering torrent, it had become something of a light drumroll. It held this beat for a few seconds and then even this died, leaving a slight pitter-patter, making the ripples in the water below visible.

The clouds disperesed, making way for the sun and its ever-present glory to shine through upon the city. The light caught the water below and reflected and refracted, a blinding haze of light from the windows and the water. One of the citizens, a young boy cheered, the sound lonely in the morning air. That sound died, and then, moments later, the entire city was screaming and shouting in joy. Their predicament was over. They were saved.

[OOC]

Theres a Two day IIC <_< It just ended on Izumi's turn, so I was to post today.. U.S Bro.. gotta give people time.

[/OOC]

[sakushi]

Furious exhultation flooded through her veins. Pumping her fist in the air Izumi screamed her defiance to the heavens that had so wrathfully descended upon the city. Blue occuli, shining incandescently as the suns vibrant light gave them new vigour would gaze out at the leagues of beleageured people. Pride welled within her breast as she recognized so many of them from the frantic hours of the chaotic storm. Soft smile gracing her lips she would watch a young mother tenderly hug her daughter, or a father joke with his son. Such moments made her proud to be a shinobi of Takikagure........ebon cowl buttoned up to her chin, Izumi would stalk off back to Takikagure......in times of rejoice there was no place for one lonely shinobi.

[Matsu]

Looking around with a confused expression, Magojiro would take the young girl down to the street levels. Scratching his head, he would not question the small mercy they were granted but instead he would simply shrug and turn back towards the village.
