Shokan, Yami, Jiyu, Renji, Deatta and Akatsuki sat in a circle, around the fire, which was lit in a cave, over to the side of their small group, were 6 sleeping bags. Jiyu spoke, interupting the silence, "So... What do we do now...?" Yami spoke instantly after Jiyu finished his sentence, so quickly she almost interupted him, "I say we get our asses back there and fight!" Renji replied firmly, "No, Yami... That's to straight forward... We are going to help them, however..." Then, Deatta joined the conversation, speaking in an aggitated tone, "How?! If we can't fight, then how are we going to help them?!" "Yeah!" Jiyu joined in, Yami joining directly after him. "QUIET!!" Renji called out, an echo running through the cave. The group became silent. Then, Renji resumed his speaking, "I didn't say we we're going to fight... But we can't just charge right in there... We need... A plan." "No." Shokan said, correcting him, "We need... A strategy." At his own words, Shokan's eyes glew with enthusiasm and intrest. Now, everybody nodded in agreement.

"Okay, first off..." Shokan said, holding a stick, baring the tip gently against the dirt ground. He drew a line, then three more, creating the shape of a box. "This is the base..." He then wrote the word "BASE" inside of the square. Then, he poked a dot infront of the square, then another, and another until there were finall five dots in total. "This is team one, or in otherwords, moonhunters. Now..." Then, he drew a circle, about a few inches away from the base. "This is our base, AKA; cave." Then, he wrote the word "CAVE" inside of the circle. "This distance..." He drew a bracket which was from the square to the circle "Is about three miles apart... Okay... Now..." Then, he poked 6 dots infront of the circle. "These are us..." Then, blew those 6 dots off the drawing, Then, he drew three small circles infront of the larger circle. Inside the first one, he wrote "JIYU AND AKATSUKI" in the second, he wrote, "DEATTA AND SHOKAN" then, finally, in thre third one, he wrote, "YAMI AND RENJI." Then, Shokan spoke, "We will go in these selected pairs... We will need to cover each other's back's... Okay, so..." Then, he scribbled a large scribble infront of the dots which were infront of the square, and wrote the word "ZOMBIES" beside it. Then, he spoke as he drew a line from the circle which said "JIYU AND AKATSUKI" Directly to the square, "Jiyu and Akatsuki will go straight to the base, no detours what-so-ever." Then, he continued speaking as he drew a line from the circle which said, "YAMI AND RENJI" with a slight curve, torwards the scribbles, "You two will go straight in and attack. Meanwhile... Me and Deatta will be walking to this exact point..." He drew a line from the circle in the middle to about a half of the distance which it would take to get to the base, then, drew a circle around it, and an 'X' inside the circle. "Wait, what? So, you're just wussing out?!" Renji asked, in an aggitated and angered tone. Which Shokan replied to calmly, "Oh no... Just trust me..." Then, he gave a slight wink, and continued speaking, "I will provide Jiyu, Akatsuki, Renji and Yami with transportation, but the number one rule is... Remember they are not tools... They are just as human as you and me, and if not, more." The 4 who he had stated nodded in confirmation. "As for me and Deatta..." Shokan said, with a slight pause, "Well... You better bring your rifle..." He said, looking at Deatta, Who nodded. Then, Shokan spoke in an assured tone, "Well then... Let's get moving..." They all nodded in agreement and stood up, Shokan saying one last thing, "Oh, right... One last thing... If there is an event in which any of us cannot overcome, we are to come immediatly report back to this cave..." They all nodded, one last time, and walked out of the cave. 

Shokan stepped across the hot, desert sand, slowly, the cave a few yards away. "Okay... Here goes..." Shokan said, slowly reopening the wound which he had made earlier. He leaned over and drew out a pentagram, from his blood, then spoke slowly, "Summoning... Supai..!!" Then, slowly orange and yellow beams came from the pentagram, wrapping around each other near the pentagram, until they finally formed a colossal, orange lizard with yellow patterns. Then, he moved over and drew out another pentagram, And spoke firmly, "Summoning...! Iquaha!" Then, dark green beams flew out from the pentagram, wrapping around each other until they formed in Iquana. Then, Shokan walked over to Jiyu and patted his shoulder. "Hey... I just wanted to let you know we might not see each other ever again after this, and I want you to know that, Okay?... That's what Itami used to tell us whenever we went on a mission such as this one... You remind me of him with your determination, or maybe... Maybe that's just stubborness. Jiyu gave a small chuckle, and smiled wide, Hugging Shokan for a few seconds, then releasing him, and speaking softly, "Thanks man... You're a pretty cool guy..." Shokan gave a small smile and winked, then walked back over to the enourmous creatures which he had summoned. Then, he pointed at Yami and Renji, and spoke, "You guys will be riding the Iquana, and remember he's not a pet, he has a soul too." They nodded and walked up to the Iquana as it wagged it's tail a bit. Then, they climbed onto it's back. "Jiyu, Akatsuki, you guys get the lizard, and same goes for you two as does Yami and Renji. They nodded and mounted the collossal lizard's back. "Let's go, Iquaha, Supai, charge!" Then, with no hesitation what-so-ever, they took off running faster than anybody had ever seen. "I've got a bad feeling about this..." Deatta said, Shokan looking back and shrugging, then speaking softly, "Me too. But let's go, before those guys actually do mess things up, Heh." Deatta nodded and the two began running.

"Hell yeah!!" Jiyu called out, smiling as he kept his balance on the speeding lizards back, which charges across the hot, dry, desert sand. A smirk was kept on Akatsuki's face as he responded, "Jiyu... Do me and the lizard a favor... and shut up..." and they continued down their trail towards the base.
