Adrian Volkov & Others

Adrian led his 30+ caimans plus a large pack of dogs over the flooded lowlands. He met there with Dimitri, David, Mika, Nikolai, Katerinka and Akilina. The group waited for Mikhail's recruits, their faces unreadable.

Mikhail & Others

The skies above swirled with low, dark thunderheads, just threatening to unleash a torrent of rain. Lightning snaked through the clouds, bringing brief bouts of electric light to illuminate the clouds, while thunder drummed in the distance. Already, either side of the road was flooded, and the waters were steadily rising.

Mikhail and Ethan were making their way down the road, with their hunting pack in tow. Kong, Stave, Casper, Daisy, Locklan, Meadow, Tommy, and Surjay all trailed along, while the younger of the two men road on Harthrou.

"Does anyone have their phone number, or a way to contact them? If not, I have two members who are still in town, and can reach them if need be." Mikhail stated, looking to the Volkovs.

Adrian Volkov & Others

Adrian looked at Mikhail. He had taken over while his brother was away, and therefore, he currently called the shots in his family. "My father is in the area. We have decided that he is to lure them over." He looked off into the distance, watching the rain fall on the horizon. "The rain might give us an advantage, as we can attack from a distance with our firepower, but they have to get close to us to attack with their swords. The mud and floodwater might slow them down."

Mika emerged from the forest. "I have the caimans in strategic locations around us. To get to us, they'll have to go through the caimans, and that will be hard if they can't see them." She informed.

Many of the caimans were camouflaged in the deeper water surrounding the group, with a few on the road next to the humans.

Itachi,Kakashi,Zabuza,Deadara,Gaara,Kankuro, Temari

Itachi stopped the rest before proceeding.Alright, On this side it will be me, Gaara, Kankuro and Kakashi, Zabuza you will lead the others on the other side and we will suround them in the trees.He spoke. Once all was split up and zabuza and his team on the other side. They began to move slowly and cuatiously through the trees. Their sensi's had taught them well when it came to fighting. Even in wet terrain such as this. They stopped moving every now and then and then continued. Soon enough they had the others surrounded. Kakashi poised an arrow which was poisoned as well. Half his arrows were poisoned half weren't. He aimed it for Mikhail.Deadara pulled out his two pistols. One he pointed at Adrian and the other at another. Itachi pulled his sword and a kunai out. Zabuza took his sword from his back and prepared for his attack which would be the first. Each akatsuki after drawing their weapong noticed that there wasn't sasuke or neji present.

Nightwing

Nightwing appeared silently flanked by her sister and Alice.They were here to help.She looked around trying to spot Rust to ask where they needed to hide.

Rosalie looked around as well.She was a bit tense as if sensing the others tension.

Alice stayed besided the two sisters.She would be ready to fight as well as the sisters.

Adrian Volkov

Adrian could hear the dogs begin to bark. They sensed the enemy. "They're here." He stated, readying his AK-47.

Rust, Cain, Tekki, Aix, Shear, Falco and Kestrel, some of the largest caimans in the group, moved in on the enemy.

Rust lurked toward Kakashi, coming up behind him very stealthily, before she launched out of the water, jaws wide.

Tekki, on the other hand, went for Deadara, doing the same as his sister.

The rest of the 30+ caimans waited, camouflaged in the murky water. The first two attacks were simply warnings.

Akatsuki

Being in the trees gave most akatsuki time to hear the movement down below. Kakashi lept away from his tack onto another branch. Deadara slipped when the one went for him but other then that he was fine. He gripped the branch and then swung down to the one below.He stared down.A smile was always present on his face.

Itachi hissed lightly and then looked to the group.SO you are smarter. But its sad to make animals do your bidding they are better then youHe spoke out.If your looking for victor he is dead thrown over the bridgeLittle did he know victor was alive and being cared for by wolves. He gripped a branch and swung down to a lower one so he could be seen. One hand on the branch and his legs bent.His red eyes stared at the others.

Zabuza too swung down to the next branch his sword held out to the side. but then he made to fall to the ground sword poised to either hit mikhail or land right in front of him. Probably the second part and if so dirt and mud would fly.You dare call us out in this weather? I sure do hope you've trained in it

Adrian Volkov

25 caimans surrounded the Akatsukis, trying to keep them from coming any closer. If they tried to move, the caimans would leap up and try to sever their legs. The rest of the caimans surrounded the Volkovs and their allies.

Adrian looked at Itachi. "No, we're just smart. We know that our caimans could easily chop you in half." It was when he gave the news about Viktor that he lost it. He pulled the trigger on his AK-47, releasing bullets all through the trees, mostly at Itachi.

Katerinka stepped forward, her rifle aimed at Itachi. "YOU KILLED MY BROTHER?!" She shouted, firing at him in a rage.

Mika was armed with both a pistol and a katana, preferring the pistol at this point. She aimed it at Itachi. "You're lying. My brother is far too strong for you to dump him into the river." She spat hatefully.

Cheriway, Levi and Martinika, three large caimans, all lunged at Zabuza from different angles once he hit the ground.

Nightwing

Nightwing attempted to help surround the Voloks and allies her jaws ready to crush an enemy.

Alice went forward to help surround the Akatsukis.Eyes full of rage and hatred.

Rosalie went with Alice silently.Her tail swirled in the water angerly.She waited for a chance to attack eyes watchful.

Mikhail & Others

Having spent plenty of time in the war, and even more time out on his own in the wild, Mikhail was more than prepared for terrain and weather like this. Watching the ninjas make their way through the trees, the Russian had carefully tracked back through the knee-deep water, placing himself a good yard away from the larger trees so that no one could jump down on him.

When Zabuza came for him, Mikhail scrambled back at a quick clip, while raising an arm to sheild the spray of water that the man's sword splashed his way. He held a simple pistol in hand, but this was never raised; not yet, anyway. He still had his dogs.

Surjay, splashing through chest-high water for him, charged in bounding leaps for Zabuza, trying to get a hold of his sword-weilding arm.

Locklan, Meadow, and Jasper, all large King Hounds, closed in on the man as well, each going for any bit of flesh they could reach as they tried to drag him down.

Ethan sat astride his Marwari hybrid, with a riffle leaned across his shoulder. Kong and the rest of the King Hounds milled about around the horse, whining eagerly for the chance to attack, but waiting patiently for thier master's orders.

Itachi

He smirked.Well then why don't you guys head to the bridge and find out!He hissed.Akatsuki we are going home there is no need for us to be hereHe spoke.

Zabuza smirked. He then swung around aiming to hit the caimens. He then felt a dog bit his sword arm and he hissed now swinging that arm here and there to get rid of him and to avoid the others.

Adrian Volkov

Adrian continued his spray of bullets until he ran out of ammo. He had extra clips, but did not use them just yet.

Katerinka looked back at Adrian and Mikhail, who seemed to be calling the shots right now. "Voz'mem odin iz nikh dlia doprosa. - Let's take one of them for questioning." She said shortly. She hoped they knew - and they probably would - that it wouldn't really be questioning, but more along the lines of payback.

Adrian, in his rage, has no problem with his sister's notion. "Gvardia! - Guard!" He shouted to the caimans, most of which immediately surrounded the Akatsukis, some of them even clumsily climbing trees.

Adrian, David, Akilina and Katerinka made their way toward Itachi. "You have no way out. You have two choices - come down or die. Let's hope you make the right one." He said vengefully, just after loading a new clip into his gun.

David, Akilina and Katerinka stood at different positions near their brother, protecting him from attacks from another direction.

Itachi

His eyes narrowed at them as his exit was denied. His lip twitched.Oh let me guess you want pay back? Taking the same road those dunder heads take!He was talking about ATHA. He laughed.Your all pathetic! Nothing you will do will hurt me!He hissed.His eyes narrowed.Go I will be home soon enoughHe said to the rest.zabuza your in full charge till i return Kill anyone that isn't me,neji or Sasuke that approaches the house or the dogs or horses understoodHe then swung down letting the volkoves have im for now. Its not like they could throw him over a bridge anyways not with his skills.

Adrian Volkov

Adrian glanced at David, who pulled some handcuffs from his belt. Adrian then attempted to cuff Itachi's hands.

"Pereyti k mostu, pozhaluysta. Nayti Viktor. - Go to the bridge, please. Find Viktor." Adrian called back to Mikhail, Mika and Katerinka. He then switched back to English. "The rest of you, help me with the swamp rat."

Katerinka turned around, nodding to her sister and Mikhail before moving out to the bridge. Mika followed.

Nightwing

Nightwing stayed close beside the Voloks incase the enemy attacked again.She watched Itachi through narrowed eyes.

Rosalie glared silently staying beside Itachi.

Alice was beside Rosalie watching the enemy with cautious eyes.

Itachi

The 6'3" tall man allowed him to handcuff him. He snorted but didn't speak to them. He had no reason too.

Adrian Volkov

Adrian, Akilina and David led Itachi to the house.

Nikolai watched as his sisters walked away. Without a word, he followed them. Dimitri loyally tagged along.

Most of the dogs and caimans followed Adrian, while the rest went with the others.
