First Gate [Video/Action]

[Video]

[The video feed suddenly kicks in with the sound of rushing winds and the sight of a blue sky. And soon, falling into view is bushy-browed teenager with a bowlcut, confusion and panic written all over his face.

Upon arrival, Rock Lee and his book open have begun freefalling through the sky to towards the village. Lee keeps his eyes focused on the open book and pushes himself through the air to get a closer look. Just enough to tell that it's some kind of communication device... and that it seems to be recording his face, and his movements.

Can they hear him, too? A million thoughts rush through his head. What happened? Where did everyone go? Why am I floating through the sky? Somebody help me down! But... if people could see him, he wouldn't want to look weak, would he? He's Rock Lee, after all. The Green Beast of Konoha. He can figure out a way out of this.

What would Gai Sensei do?

So he opts to force on a smile, one full of shining teeth, and he flashes a thumbs up towards the camera and shouts as loud as he can.]

DYNAMIC... ENTRY!

[Lee can find his way down. After all, his training weights are gone. He feels so light.]

[Action]

[If anyone misses out on the high-paced action, they can find Lee after he lands - either traveling to the item shop for his headband, weights and equipment or to the clothing shop for his valued green jumpsuit and vest. He'll also jog around to survey the village and some of the forest afterwards, eager to greet his new neighbors in the process.]

[The journal landed on the floor near his feet, forgotten, possibly now recording the ground. He laughs and bows to the woman.]

Oh, thank you, Miss! I hope my sensei would be proud. And thank you for softening my fall, as well! I am eternally grateful.

[Action]

[shieldsup]

I'm sure he would be. That was quite an entrance you made. Foolish, but memorable. Does your sensei condone such reckless behavior?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

He believes that some amount of recklessness is inevitable for a youth such as myself - and that we must always push our limits to become stronger. But I am also encouraged to be reserved, when the time is right.

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Thats very good advice. What's your name? I'm Susan. Susan Richards.

[Action]

[niceguypose]

I am Rock Lee! It is a pleasure to meet you, Susan-san.

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Just Susan is fine, Rock. I'm not Japanese.

[She smiles and holds out a hand]

What are you studying to be, anyway?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

But that would be improper. Japanese...? Is that some type of nationality? [Somewhat winded from all of this, he accepts the hand.] I have completed my studies. I am chunin rank ninja.

[Action]

[shieldsup]

It is. Oh, nevermind. We're probably not from the same world anyway.

[She smiles]

Oh, a ninja. Where's your mask? I thought ninjas were supposed to hide their face.

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He's a bit confused by the "world" part, but he gives an arrogant smirk.]

A good ninja needs no mask for that. [Maybe he was twisting the truth.]

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Oh? Are you really that fast, Rock...san?

[She's not sure if thats the proper honorific but...its worth a guess from what she remembers when she went to Japan]

[Action]

[niceguypose]

Of course, Susan-san! [He'd probably prefer Lee-san, but he assumes she's alright with it now.] Especially since my training weights have gone missing.

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Hmm. Well, why don't you show me then? Impress me with your youth! But be careful, especially with your wings.

[Action]

[niceguypose]

Wings? Wings? [He feels that aching on his back. Rock Lee tilts his head around to try to see it while moving his feet, like a dog chasing its tail.] Wings?!

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Don't pull on them, they're very tender. And I've been told that if you remove them you die. So, be careful, OK?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He catches a glimpse of the wing and quickly withdraws his hand once Susan tells him about them.]

How... how did this happen? I am no winged man, I am a ninja of Konoha!

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Welcome to Luceti, Rock-san. Its...a bit weird. When you arrive, everyone has wings. Its a lot to explain. But you aren't in your home anymore.

[Her wings...however...are invisible. Thanks for having weird powers]

[Action]

[niceguypose]

Luceti? Wings? I... I do not understand.

[Action]

[shieldsup]

This isn't your world. It's a different reality. The name of this place is Luceti, and when you arrive you grow wings.

[She speaks slowly and patiently like she would to her son.]

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He grips his head in confusion.]

Another world? How could this... how could this be? I was fighting a war...

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Its complex. The simplest way of putting it is this. First, this world seems to be run by an organization called Malnosso. Second, they bring us here from OUR worlds and trap is here for god knows what reason. Third, time stops for you at home. Think of this as extra time.

[Again, slowly and simply]

Following me so far?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

I believe so. I only wish I had my notepad on me. So... this is a trap. The Malnosso are the culprits. I have never heard of such foes. But we have extra time. [To prepare for the ultimate battle.]

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Something like that. We don't know where they are, but they do hide behind a barrier that makes us weaker. And as far as a notepad goes...

[A force field levitates his fallen journal to him]

There is a guide book in the journal. It'll explain the nitty-gritty details. But yes, it seem's we have a lot of extra time on our hands.

[To prepare, for...Clobbering Time.]

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He grabs the journal, now remembering its existence.]

Ah! This book will have to do. Tell me, Susan-san. If you are not a ninja, how did you develop such remarkable abilities?

[Action]

[shieldsup]

Well, its a bit of an odd story. About twenty years ago, my then boyfriend Reed, my brother Johnny, and our friend Ben went on a scientific mission together, and there was an accident. We were exposed to a rare form of energy that changed our bodies into something different.

[She smiles. This story was one she found easier to tell each time]

I can make those fields you felt, and become invisible. Reed, my husband, can stretch his body however he wants. My brother can make his body into fire, and Ben's body is super strong and made of stone. In my world, we're heroes called the Fantastic Four.

[Action]

[niceguypose]

That sound so... remarkable! Unbelievable! It sounds completely unlike any type of chakra that I have heard of.
