[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.]

We've been kidnapped? ...By Madara? ...Are you telling me I should start opening Gates?

[He feels around on his back and gasps when he feels the wings. The buildings down there are starting to look bigger.]

No, not by Madara by the Malnosso. Madara has nothing to do with this. In fact, he was here recently. He just got sent home. The Malnosso admit to kidnapping us but we aren't sure if it's on purpose or an accident. Just... [ she sighs, before a spark of excellence comes into her system. ] Open the gates, Lee. Go as high as you can. [ She tightens the chains and wires to create a safety net. ] Start running before you hit the ground, Lee! I'm ready!

[ Hey Lee! Enjoy a ridiculously large explosion happening in the middle of the forest. The ground briefly buckles and flares before it turns into softened soil. The speed at which you stop is always the most dangerous part of the fall, but Lee can withstand speeds that surpass that. All he has to do is run. The loose, now softened soil should serve to act as a barrier so he doesn't crush his leg upon landing. ]

Madara's... not... here?

[But he quickly shifts his mind to follow her instructions. He begins opening Gates and running as per Tenten's instructions, making it three Gates up and successfully making it into the safety net, then coming to a halt and falling over exhausted.]

[ Tenten immediately rushes to his location. She makes sure to slowly loosen the chains so Lee lands safely on the ground. ]

No. Madara's not here. He was briefly kidnapped by the Malnosso, but, he was recently sent home too. You okay Lee? Do you need me to get Ino or something for healing?

[Lee staggers about, already feeling drained from opening the gates, but barely taking in what she's saying.]

I can... walk it off. Do not trouble yourself, Tenten. I will get us back... to the rest of the army.

[ Tenten will offer her arm to help him up and move him about. ]

Let me help you anyways! You also thought you could do pushups when you're nearly paralyzed. [ And that wasn't a wise decision! ] Don't put too much pressure on yourself either. If they can capture Madara, I'm sure anyone is fair game.

[He reluctantly accepts it, but he tries giving a slightly pained smile.]

Hey, I made some progress back then. The human body is only able to truly give up when the person in control is. But... there must be some way out of here.
