Xantrex stood silently in the shadows outside the gates of the Storm. He was leading the mission to bring Chaos to this new Valley. They would soon learn who was in power in these lands. The Akatsuki. Since he doubted that either of the other akatsuki's he'd been partnered with for this mission would see him, he stepped out of the shadows slightly and waited. Sasori and Zoey would soon show up, and if not, he could cause alot of damage himself without being spotted for a while. Despite his quiet demeanor, he enjoyed wreaking havoc in the Valleys as much, if not more than Deidara did. He smiled evilly. This is what they get for shunning me as they did....All those arrogant ninja out there living peacefully in their valley's... The day before he had managed to infiltrate the Storms walls and learn the build of the city. He'd even managed to get a glimpse of the kage. So if Sasori decided to complain, he'd simply tell him he'd checked it out the day before. While he was learning his way around yesterday, he'd paused time on and off so he was sure he wasn't seen. Xantrex looked down the path leading to the Storm. Where are they? he thought in irritation.

((Kay, Dei wants this thread started for a reason, so I'll just give it a boost and find out where Zoey is at!))

Ginger gave a sigh as she noticed that something wasn't right. She felt the presence of an Akatsuki and he was strong. She stood up in her seat and headed over to the door. "Creed," she called. "Meet me at the gates." With that she hurried off gathering up a few jonin and genin. She didn't know who else was with that Akatsuki, but it wouldn't take long for them to join the other. Akatsuki never traveled alone. That she knew from experience.

Creed nodded at his kage as she rushed out and ran out to get a squad of ANBU, he quickly returned to the gate with a squad of 10 ANBU and their captain. Quickly meeting up with Ginger. He had gotten the ANBU just because he thought his kage would need extra support and there is always the chance that the situation has been underestimated.

Sasori walked up beside Xantrex "Hello, i suppose you can feel it can't you, a large amount of chakra and strenght in one place" he says looking over the village then pulling out three small puppet's each resembaling a bird, flesh and all "I found these near here, i figured that if we wanted to recon, we wanna make sure our reconers are from the area" he says leting them goes and attaching chakra string, then pushing them off and leting them go and they start flying on there own

Ginger looked at Creed and the ANBU he had gathered. "Good," she said. She started to walk forward looking at the air as something glimmered. "Huh?" They're watching? Ginger shook her head and moved forward pulling out a kunai. These guys were really getting on her bad side. "Can't get one day without these God forsaken idiots," she said as she walked out of the gates.

Zoey appeared next to Xantrex and Sasori. "Sorry I'm late, got a little caught up in some things," she said with an innocent smile. "Anyway, let's get down to business." She said. "Oh looks like they're coming to us. Too bad they don't stand a chance."

Xantrex looked at Sasori and Zoey. About time they showed. "Well, now that you're both here, let's get a move on. By the time we get done here, there's gonna be a hellof alotta chaos here, got it?" He looked a the gates as he saw a redhead walk out and from her chakra level automatically guessed that she was the Kage. He looked at Sasori and Zoey. "Since they're coming out of the Valley, the inside should be slightly more exposed," he said quietly to them. "Work on getting inside and I'll keep most of the ninja out here occupied. And that includes the Kage. I get to take her. Alright, let's get moving." He turned around and walked up to the Kage, staying at least seven feet's distance from her. He took his sword out and placed it on the ground, and leaned on it, looking at the redhead. "I'll take a wild guess and say you're the Kage, right?" he asked with a small smirk, already knowing the answer.

Ginger shrugs. "What do you think?" She says in a cold tone. She starts forward and lashes out with the blade. "Fire Style: Burning Pheonix." A giant fire bird comes out of the ground under Xantrex. The bird flies into the air and then burst into flames. Fire wipes then spread through the air wrappinga round Xantrex.

Xantrex grinned at the Kage's feeble attempt to restrain him. He disappeared into his own shadow a moment before the flames got to him. Perhaps it wasn't one of my best ideas to go at her head on like this...her flames will illuminate all the shadows around. No going back now though. Xantrex silently reappeared out of Ginger's shadow and slashed at her with his sword.
