Please note that there is a specific top-level comment thread for:

• The day 3 arrival of the draftees and the 6 hours that follow until the bomb is dropped
  
• Death--This thread can be treated as REFERENCE ONLY. Responding to it isn't necessary.
  
• Threads prior to departing for Zompania--post resurrection freak outs, arguments over how to proceed, etc.

All other threading, from day 1 until the reinforcements arrive, should be conducted as normal.

[Family doesn't leave family behind, and that goes doubly so for Saori. She hasn't ever been willing to let go of attachments easily, so when she sees him beginning to slow she's quick to step in to help. At the distance she's at, it'd be hard to bring magic to bear without risking harm to him, and there's too much ground to cover quickly.

So, she'll opt to utilize some of the training Obi-Wan had given her, as well as her borrowed DC-17 blaster. Perhaps an odd choice, but she finds herself appreciating the new skill almost immediately. Blue-white bolts of energy whiz past Neji, burning holes in approaching enemies. Her aim isn't perfect, but it's good enough to harry them.]

Neji! Fall back! I'll cover you!

[screw_fate]

[The Byakugan is a great gift for avoiding friendly fire. Neji is nowhere near the bolts as they tear through the enemies he's slowly failing to deal with, and he twists to give Saori a quick look of gratitude.]

Thanks, I need it.

[And he does fall back, retreating gracefully to where she can easily cover him and he won't be in her way.]

You're doing all right?

[She seems to be. What was that thought he was having about firearms training again...?]

[windandrain]

[Well with him falling back she lowers the blaster and raises her left hand, unleashing a maelstrom of electricity to force the enemy back. Some make it, others are flash-fried by the intense heat of natural lightning.]

I'm doing just fine. This is nothing, Neji.

[She steps around him, interposing herself between the enemy and him protectively.]

How about you? You seem tired.

[screw_fate]

Nothing I can't handle.

[The words are automatic. Of course he can handle it. He's Hyuuga Neji. Never mind that he's pushing himself harder than he has in over a year. His full chakra's unlocked, and he's putting every scrap of it to use.]

Still, I won't say no to a breather.
