The bullhead spins out of the way of a nethermore. It pulled to near stop and flew straight up out of the way of another. It dived down and then straightened out and quickly speed up again.

"... I didn't know bullheads could do that." Rema says as she continues to fire out of the back of the bullhead. We are all clipped to the inside as to not throw us around to much.

"Rema get up here! I need a co-pilot for this. I'm going to fly us through that cave ahead to shake them off!" 47 niner said into our headsets.

"Are you fucking insane?! How do we know it doesn't just get smaller as we go through?!" Itama yelled. I had to agree with Itamas line of thinking. I understood this woman was good, but that is almost certain death. Rema unclipped herself and went to the co pilot seat.

"We are about to find out." She said into the headset. "Rema, roll 50 degrees." 47 niner said.

"Uh, 50 degrees." Rema said as she tapped the console a few times. The bullhead tilled but the side still smacked into the rocks as we entered. The whole ship shook.

"Fucking keep up!" 47 niner yelled at her.

"I'm trying!" Rema yelled as she leveled out the ship.

The nethermores followed us in. The big ones with difficulty but the smaller ones had no trouble. Me and Itama were shooting out the back as we tried to keep them back.

"My semblance is echolocation and I just finished mapping out the cave. We need to go down before we go up so hang on. Rema on my mark rotate pitch 270 degrees." She says. acting as if that wouldn't slam us straight into the ground.

"270 degrees, um, isn't that going to j-" Rema is interrupted by 47 niner.

"Mark!" She said. Me Itama and Shikī felt the Gs of force as the nose of the bullhead went up before pointing straight down and then diving. Itama looked green at the flying we were enjoying.

"Yaw 45 degrees! Roll 180 over 10 seconds and then roll -90 immediately after." 47 niner said.

"Yaw 45. Uh how do I-?" Rema went to ask but 47 niner cut her off again.

"Console above you adjusts speed of changes!" She said. Rema looked on the ceiling above her head and saw the screen mounted. She tapped the screen several times.

"On my mark! 3... 2... 1... Mark!" She said. The ship tilts so that it's flying sideways. It then slowly starts rolling upside down. The bottom of the ship scraping against the rocks of the cave as it finally turned completely upside down. It then turned to fly like a knife's it slid in between two pillars in the cave. The nethermore weren't even on us anymore. We were just trying to get out alive.

"Holy fuck, that woman can fly." Shikī says as we feel the speed at which we are moving as this is happening. We then feel the bullhead level out before tilting up and going back to the surface.

"Alright. Hard parts over. This cave leads to right next to the base so ready up. I will not be able to pick you back up so after this you are on your own for transportation." 47 niner said. Rema got out of her seat to come back to us. The back door still open.

"Alright then! All together, we don't know if we will becoming in hot, so be ready for a fight." Shikī says. We all reload our guns

The dark of the cave is suddenly replaced by light as we come out into the open. "Get ready, you've got one shot at this jump! There shouldn't be any Grimm in there! Only humans!" Our pilot in forms informs us.

"Team, let's stick to shadows on this one. We are low enough on aura as it is." Shikī says. We all get ready.

"On my mark! ...Mark!" The whole bullhead lurches and we jump out of it as it spins around and flies away with great speed to get away.

We land on top of one of the towers and immediately hide. We begin sneaking our way through the place. It's quite empty to be truthful and that's quite disturbing.

We all gather around Shikī as he begins explaining the situation. "Alright we are at the southern end of the compound. The eastern end of it has absolutely no entrances that go directly in or out of it so that's where whatev-" His voice becomes slowly inaudible to me. I listen but realize I can't hear anything at all.

"Please." A woman's voice says. I look around as it continues. "You have to help me. She's trapped me here."

"Sasuke?" I look back to Itama. The entire team is looking at me. "You good?" He asks me. I quickly look around.

"Yeah, just thought I heard something." I replied to him, hoping I wasn't losing it. He and Rema chuckled.

Rema then asked, "What you hear? A ghost?" Shikī then told us to focus and reminded us we were not going to have a good time if discovered. We then all silently started making our way to the other end of the base. Being sure to avoid any white fang along the way. They might already be on high alert, but killing any will just make them more likely to find us.

We make it to the main hub and find nothing. We keep searching for 10 minutes before we come to the conclusion that our guess about a weapon or something being held here was wrong.

Shikī called us together again but I didn't hear him. My attention was on a woman. This woman had a pale complexion, reddish hair, silver eyes and she wore a white hooded cape. She's staring directly at me I realized.

I reach for my magnums and blink, my eyes turning red... but she was gone. I slowly make my way to the doorway she was standing in. I peak my head in, it leads to a hallway. I look towards the end of the hallway and see the white hooded woman walking away from me. I almost reach her when she turns around. I raise both of my magnums at her. "Im begging you. Please free me." She says. She then backs up straight into the wall, phasing through it like it's not there.

I reach the wall she disappeared into and look around for some kind of door or entrance. I knock on the wall and realize that it's empty on the other side. I go completely around all sides to realize that this is a room with no entrances to speak of. No one was ever supposed to take out what was put in here.

I charge my sword with lightning and stab the wall. I take my sword out and look through the hole I made. I see a pedestal with a large tube sitting on it. The tube has a liquid that glows orange, like fire in it. 'Now how am I going to get in there?' I think to myself. I can't exactly chip away at the wall with my sword, and I don't have any techniques that could get me through. I think for several moments before I look at the black fingerless glove on my left hand.

I take the glove off revealing the black crescent moon tattoo on my open palm. I channel a large amount of arua into my palm and the moon glows purple. I place my open palm on the wall and the wall begins to glow purple. The wall begins to turn into purple dust particles that evaporate into nothingness. The wall gone, I put my glove back on and enter the room.

"Guys. I think I found whatever we're looking for." I said.

(Soon.)

"Where the hell did this come from? I checked this hallway." Shikī said clearly irritated that he would miss something like this.

"I don't really know, I heard a voice speaking to me and followed it." I said to him. It didn't really matter if that was the whole story or not. We just needed to leave.

"Oh look. Plot devices." Rema said walking over to a table with a small stack of papers on it.

"The soul of the summer maiden." She reads. "We got to her when she was to close to death to steal her powers. To avoid having to search for and fight the new maiden when she died, our master had us take out her soul and lock it away. The lengths she is going to, to make sure this stays secret is frightening to me and my coworkers. I fear she might even kill us after we are finished." Rema finished reading. We all looked at the tube.

Shikī took off his one strap backpack with our rations in it for long missions and dumped everything out. He then throws the bag to me. "You heard the voice. You get to carry it." He said. I took the tube off the pedestal.

"Hn." I said as I zipped up the bag and slung it around my shoulder. We start making our way to the hanger. When we got there, we aren't surprised to see that the hanger was packed with soldiers.

"Alright, let's do this smart and fast. Itama. You make a nice sized shield and start making your way to the other end of the hanger. I will paralyze any hostiles that enter your flanks. Sasuke and Rema will be behind you and your shield to take out any enemies I paralyze." Shikī says. It's a sound plan and we get it done.

(3 minuets later)

"Well that could have gone better." Itama says quite annoyed. We look around at the bodies that littered the floor.

"What do you want from me? Even geniuses forget to take variables into account sometimes." Shikī says defensively. He was honestly probably more angry at himself than any of us.

"Yeah, well the possibility of someone just throwing a fucking dust crystal in the middle of us seems like a something even an idiot would thought of." Rema said with annoyance in her voice.

"Yeah well I didn't hear any of you pointing out the obvious fault in my plan." Shikī retorted. We all started jogging towards to the nearest bullhead.

Rema laughed before saying, "I for one don't see how anyone could possi-" a sniper round fires off and catches our attention.

{man of the world: naruto.}

We turn around to look for the sniper fire. My red eyes see and follow the vapor trail to the shooter. I shift my eyes. Noticing the trail also leads to the back of Rema's head. She falls towards me and what I'm seeing sinks in. I fall down to catch her body in my arms. She completely limp. I grab my magnum in my free hand and start shooting at the assailant. More start coming down the hallway.

I grab her arm and start dragging. Shikī pulls out one of her rifles and grabs her other arm while shooting. My gun clicks empty. I put it away and lifted her body over my shoulder. I jump onto the bullhead Itama had ignited. Shikī jumps on after me and closes the door as we take off.

Authors note: I was really fucking tired both days I took the time to do some writing on this, so forgive me if it seems a bit lazy, but I will have another chapter out before the week is up.
