The Wanderer

Ground Mission

The tracking team followed one of Shino's insects to it's mate in hopes of finding the men. Though Bolin and Mako were gross put by how Shino tracked the men to it's exact position.

"So where do you think this bug is going based on it's direction?" Shikamaru asked
"Looks like they're going to the power plant" Mako said as they followed
"Why would they go to the power plant?" Bolin asked
"Basic strategy, but an effective one, cut off communication then divide and conquer" Shikamaru said
"Man you really, thought this through huh?" Bolin joked
"Yes, well in our job it's better to think of everything before an attack" Ino commented

They all then arrived to the plant with Equalists planting bombs and other equipment as well. The team silently moved getting better views of their activities. That's when they decided to act.

"This will shut down the grid, and once the happens the city will be ours" one said planting a bomb
"Good and we'll finally be rid of that-"

That's when he started to panic the other man began to become confused, but over time he saw things covering him from head to toe.

"Argh!!" He screamed as he tried get them off
"Stop so I can help!!" The other screamed

He tried to, but with no success and instead he began to spread on him as well, thus killing the two of them. That's when the team moved in, Bolin and Mako were completely shocked at what they had seen. The bugs had removed themselves from the bodies returned to Shino.

"We need to remove these bombs before they go off" Shikamaru said examining the the bombs
"How many are there?" Shino asked
"Sixteen! Four for each each power box!" Naruto's clone said as he made them to search the bombs, they then disappeared in a puff of smoke
"Okay once we remove the bombs we head back to Police HQ" Shikamaru said

They all began to remove the bombs carefully so they wouldn't detonate. Performing the task successfully they were going to head on back to Police HQ, until Bolin found something.

"Okay that's all of them" Mako said
"Good now let's go back-"
"Hey guys! I found something!" Bolin said at the far end of the plant

The team paced to his location, and saw a large hole in the ground, looking a little closer they saw it ran as a road, but also saw power cords rum from the emergency power into the hole.

"Looks like this leads somewhere" Shikamaru commented
"So what do we do?" Bolin asked
"We follow it" Shino answered
"What!? We don't what we'll find down there!?" Bolin said
"They'll we'll just have to find out ourselves" Naruto said as Shikamaru jumped in first the himself then Shino and the brothers

The underground road was a bit humid, and dark though the small lights lit the way. As they ran the trail seemed to go on forever since they ran about two miles now.

"Man how long is this?" Bolin said almost out of breath
"Look!" Naruto said as he spotted a small but growing light approaching them

They then began to slow down as they neared it. Slowly approaching the entrance and peaking out just enough look to see what was on the other side. What they saw was several mechs lined up in a few rows.

"Looks like they're going to attack from the ground and air" Shikamaru said
"So what should we do?"
"We'll just have to destroy as many of these as possible" Shikamaru answered
"Okay"
"But here's the plan"

There was an army of Equalists preparing for the attack on the city. As they all were prepared for the attack a huge explosion on the other side of the hideout. All of them rushed over to the site then automatically mech after mech began to fall down.

"What the hell is going on!?" The captain shouted

Going to see what the problem was from his office gave Shikamaru a go to warn of this new development.

"Lin come in, come in Lin" Shikamaru spoke through the radio
"Shikamaru that you?" Lin answered
"Lin we have a situation, there's an army of mechs underground"
"What do you know where underground?" She asked

Shikamaru began to look around looking for coordinates or anything that gave him the answer. That's when he saw map showing where they were.

"We're outside City Hall" he answered
"I won't be able to have any men post for that area"
"We'll try to slow them down on this side"
"Alright, but be careful"

Shikamaru then went to the ground floor, then began to signal for them to attack.

"Parasitic Insect Jutsu" Shino said then the room began to fill with an insect cloud

Then all of the Equalists began to panic running around trying to get the bugs off them, some died with bugs covering or hovering over their bodies. Though a few got in the mech suites and immediately after the alarm for the attack to start sounded filling the room and orange lights flashing. Then the mechs began to shoot up breaking the ceiling trying to make it to the surface.

"Damn it let's go!!" Naruto said following them upward

The others followed though Bolin had to make an earth ladder for him and Mako to follow. They were slowed down my the rubble due to the mechs still digging their way out the ground. Climbing a few more feet up they started to see sunlight, they had reached the surface, but saw they were only a few blocks from the city hall.

"They're heading that way come on!!" Naruto said as everyone else resurfaced

As they did a siren began to go off being heard throughout the entire city.

"What's that?"
"It's the city wide emergency siren" Mako explained
"That must mean the entire city is under attack" Shino concluded

The sound of fighter planes came closer to the city.

"We better hurry" Naruto said rushing to the hall
