Jaakuna had forgotten how freeing it felt to feel the wind on his face. Though it had only lasted for a brief moment, he would savor that moment as he felt the rush of that moment bring him to life. The way his body freely flowed in the air and how wind picked up, it gave him such relief. He wasn’t a futon user, so this was as close as he came to experience the wind on his own accord. But just as with all things, the good times came to a speeding halt as the Sundance Kid saw the familiar sight of a blue beam from the golem. The only difference from the last time he saw it was that it wasn’t aimed at all of his teammates. No, instead it was aimed specifically at him. 

Though Jaakuna realized that he was probably going to get killed, in that moment, he noticed the palm was open, which unlike before, it wasn’t sealed. Perhaps this would be his one and only shot to potentially damage them with something—anything—that he had in his arsenal. But just as he had the idea and he started to weave handsigns, he felt something grab at his waist, ceasing his previous action. It was thick and hard. Jaakuna knew right away it was Kurin’s wood and it jerked him away from the direct path of the beam, though due to how hectic it was, Jaakuna caught some of the blasted his right shoulder as it tore straight through his jacket, burning his flesh minorly. Wincing, Jaakuna was thankful it was only a minor burn and not something more severe. Though, his plan of attacking the palm in that moment might’ve been an idiotic one because, had he gone through with it, he might’ve died and that would do nobody any good.

As he was whipped back even further, the golem’s eyes flashed so brightly that it made Jaakuna blink repeatedly within the span of a few seconds. And the next thing he would notice were some projectiles coming his way. He thought they were a mirage, but as time would reveal, they weren’t necessarily that. Actually, they weren't even close to that. These projectiles were of something close to metal and they were coming at him. Additionally, it took him [i]this[/i] long to notice something was off about him. He couldn’t place it, but it had to do something with those drills coming straight for him. A magnetic field? But how--oh, right. “[color=goldenrod]Fuck me.[/color]”

Shit.

Jaakuna reached his head back and saw Kurin seemed to be aware. And there seemed to be something of a smirk coming from Kurin, though Jaakuna couldn’t sure about that. All he knew was that, as Kurin would call out the word ‘whiplash’ and then suddenly with little warning, Kurin had spun around with Jaakuna still firmly held by his wooden arm, and Jaakuna found himself whipping to that same motion (still in midair mind you) as he would come back around, the missiles from before following him. It took him only a moment after passing Kurin--and Kurin’s glance at Jaakuna--what the plan was. And you know what Jaakuna thought of that? Pure genius. And it was simple enough that Jaakuna wouldn’t need to think too much about it. 

When he came back around and was like a little, red and yellow missile himself, Jaakuna was shot straight for the moon(the Golem’s legs). It took him a short moment to adjust his limbs to where his legs were straight and arms were at his side, though his right shoulder continued to become a bother due to the burn on it, but Jaakuna would ignore it as he would use his hiden as fire chakra would come from his hands and feet, though he noticed additional discomforts from it, which seemed odd, he just assumed it was from the burn he got from the beam earlier. Anyway, with his hiden propelling him at a faster speed, Jaakuna looked back and noticed the drills were still chasing him.

With a shift of  his body, at the right moment when Jaakuna neared one of the legs and was closer to Kiku and Shizuka, but he wouldn’t stay close to them for long because, as Jaakuna’s body would tumble just slightly from the simultaneous actions of two things: First, Jaakuna didn’t have the best landing as he had ceased his hiden, so he had tumbled slightly from it and number two, as the missiles that were following him had come for him, he had dropped in front of the massive right leg of the golem, which hindered his sight from the projectiles, causing them to clash with the leg and causing a rather sizable explosion of metal and dust.

"[color=goldenrod]Well, that went better than expected,[/color]" Jaakuna commented into the transponder, giving Kurin a chuckling grin, panting just slightly. As he would notice where he was, however, he might've goofed. More to the point, as the dust settled and the golem came into his periphery, it appeared that he wasn't behind the golem as he first thought but rather he was in front of it and just about five or so paces away from Kiku and Shizuka, which now had Jaakuna in an even worse position than he was before. "[color=goldenrod]Yeah, scratch my previous statement. I might've made a booboo.[/color]" Jaakuna said to Kurin through the transponder, nervously laughing as the realization had sunk in.
