Brightwood Island Takeover (Open to Steel village 4rth division and 2nd Division)

Takumi nodded. It was trickier than he had expected, but he was confident he'd be able to do it. Making him dive was very clever of Zero; it effectively prevented him from using Kamisori to get to the bottom in an instant, as the sudden pressure change would put a huge strain on his body. But as soon as he'd be underwater, he'd be able to use Kamisori just fine to cover a greater area in less time. He just had to be aware of nearby Sea Kings and greater depths as he would get further away from the shore. It was a test of endurance, strength and the ability to concentrate under pressure.

"Wish me luck!" he said as he jumped off the railing of the ship, plunging into the ocean. After a few seconds of diving he could feel the pressure weighing down on his body, but it wasn't too bad. He'd only get in trouble if he'd go for deeper waters. Arriving at the bottom, Takumi saw Zero was right; there wasn't a single clamp in sight. Not wasting more time he used Kamisori to get to another part of the seabed. Immediately he realized he made a mistake; instead of propelling him straight forward he had propelled himself along the seabed, taking him several feet deeper. Ignoring the pain and cursing himself for being so careless he started swimming around the seabed. He couldn't risk another mistake with Kamisori like that. After a minute or so of searching around he was forced to conclude he'd have to go deeper. That prospect didn't make him happy since he had already used a lot of oxygen and the increasing pressure would only make things worse. He then started swimming towards deeper water, hoping there wouldn't be any Sea Kings nearby. He could easily take one down, but with his time and oxygen running low an energy-consuming fight was the last thing he'd need.

sarah stood behind alphonse wrapping her arms around his chest with her claws on resting her head on his shoulder and said "shall we continue i have finished" and she had finished and wolfhearts mouth had little yellow threads in his mouth and showing on his lips. sarah waited for alphonse to get moving so he could protect her. wolfheart was waiting next to sarah for them to move he was going to protect the group better than he had he had failed before and only hurt himself.

When Oaktilla was out of sight the remaining 17 panthers soon returned to stalking Alphonse and Sarah waiting for the right moment to strike and fest upon there human fleash.

Meanwhile Up North in The Blue Gorilla Village the Bllueogorri Did there trible dances to celebrate the year of the Warrior.

Alphonse held Sarah close to him, he had no idea there were panthers following him. Following the tracks and directions the Mature women gave him Alphonse headed north following the purple sprouts She kindly sported for him to follow. Alphonse made sure Sarah was close to him, he didnt start walking until she was within 2 feet of distance between him. Following the purple sprouts seemed to be a much longer journey then he intended for it to be, Alphonse still felt like the forest had been trying to stalk him. It seemed like every time he decided it was going to be easy something sneaked up and tried to attack him.

"Wolfheart could you please sniff the area and tell me if there are any dangers near by." Alphonse stopped suddenly, the sun was highest in the sky and the forest itself seemed thick and humid as he looked around the area, there were trees and vines practically sorrounding them at this point.

"I have a very bad feeling about this place, Sarah stay near me", the veins and woods were thick, 10 feet away there could be a big animal and they wouldnt be able to see it. His suit cases were 5 feet around him not, the metal was reflecting the light emmited from the hot sun.

sarah walked with alphonse ready to do what needed to be done little did she know of the panthers. she next to alphonse with her claws on because this was a dangerous place she wanted to make sure she didnt get hurt without reason. she noticed wolfheart doing something though. wolfheart was sniffing the air and smelt the smell that panther flesh smelt like which ment there were more near by he kept sniffing and got the faightest smell of panther again and pointed himself towards them and they were behind them and started to growl and snarl he wanted them to leave. sarah looked down at wolfheart and back at alphonse and said "what do you think he doing? hes giving away were we are to the enermy"

Zero waited around for the kid to get back to surface. He knew their were clams in that ocean, but they were so rare, no one had seen them in years. It was basically a training session of endurance. Zero the walked towards the steering wheel of the ship and looked at his fellow crew mates. He would wait another 3 minutes until he dived to go save the kid. He thought what if he actually found a clam! That would be something. Zero sat on the railing next to the steering wheel.

"HEY YOU LAZY BASTARDS! STAY ON YOUR TOES!!"

He yelled to everyone on the ship.

Takumi kept diving until he thought going deeper would make it impossible for him to swim back up in time, even if he would find a clam. Even though he was easily twice as deep as before there were no clamps around at all. Although this frustrated him a lot, he told himself to remain calm; stress would only burn his preciious oxygen faster. He reckoned he had for about two more minutes of oxygen left, but he'd rather not push that limit too far, expecially at this depth. Swimming on, he tried to remember everything he knew about clamps, anything that could help him find one. But with barely enough oxygen left for another minute his mind started to get foggy so he stopped trying and decided to test his luck at a rock formation a few metres away. He couldn't see any clamps straight away, but then he spotted something in a cavity between the rocks. He tried to reach inside with his arm to grab it, but it was just out of his reach. He thought of moving the rocks instead, but decided against it. He would try to grab it one more time and then he'd get back to the surface, else he wouldn't make it. He pulled back his arm and prepared himself to get his arm into the hole. ("Shigan!"). The rock scraped against his flesh, tearing off pieces of skin, but he managed to get hold of the clamp with his index and middle fingers. He tried to ignore the pain and shortage on oxygen and carefully reeled the clamp in. He pulled it through the hole and decided to take a chance at it and kicked at the seabed. ("Soru!") He cut through the water at high speed and launched out of the water like a bullet. Quickly, before the Decompression Sickness would kick in and the overdose of Nitrogen in his system would knock him out he used Kamisori to launch himself at the ship, skidding along the deck. Before he passed out and left himself to his Nakama to take care of him he slid the the clamp towards Zero along the deck.

Zero then watched as Takumi fell onto the ship deck. He looked down at the kids hand and noticed the near impossible happened. He actually found a clam! He picked the clam up and threw it in the air. As it fell to the ground. Zero did a quick left kick, breaking it open. When he did so, a small pearl popped out. Zero then grabbed the pearl and kicked the clam shell into the ocean. He then waited a few moments before he actually helped Takumi. The water next to the ship then became shadowy. Zero walked towards the raling of the ship and got in a stance to jump into the air. Less then 30 seconds later. A large Sea King with a clam shell around its neck like a cone around a nuttered dog shot out of the water. It had two small eyes that surrounded 2 black pupils. Its Dark purple skin with a small streak of green all around it zoomed pass Zero's face like a speeding car. Zero then took his hands out his pocket and jumped into the air, over head of the beast. Zero then did a aerial spin towards the Sea Kings head. As he got close enough to the Sea Kings head. It got ready to closes its clams on Zero. Zero then kicked the Sea King with a powerful backflip kick. Sending it soaring back into the deeps of which it came. Zero then fell backwards towards the ship and landed. He landed on the railing and looked back at Takumi.

"HEY! WE NEED A DOCTOR OVER HERE! I NEED A DOCTOR...DOCTOR! TO BRING THIS KID TO HIS SENSES"

Zero then walked towards Takumi and keeled next to him. He was an incredible lucky kid. A pretty strong willed. He had to make sure he didn't die.
