The grin that painted his face before, had suddenly formed into a look of worry. Kaba's skin began to crawl as he had clearly triggered something that he shouldn't have. He would quickly feel a grainy feeling in the hand where he once held what he thought was the scroll they needed. He rapidly recognized that he held a fake. Why would they keep a fake scroll in their shrine? Where would the real one be? As Kaba began questioning what was occurring he would unexpectedly begin to gasp. He grabbed at his neck, feeling his gills disappearing and studied his hands as the webbing began to also retract. Just a moment ago the feeling of success had embodied him, and now everything was falling apart. Kaba almost began to panic until he noticed the oxygen tanks that had just appeared for them. Oddly lucky, but he wouldn't wonder further. He wasted no time putting the reserve oxygen to use. He wasn't sure if the tank was full or not, but fortunately he was able to use one of his clan's signature techniques to store the oxygen for extended periods of time. If he somehow lost the tank, he'd still be able to breath a bit longer than humanly possible. Unfortunately, the group would still be at a movement disadvantage. Kaba continued to study what he had seemingly cased. The sand beneath began to shift and creatures horrifying enough to make someone freeze emerged. There were too many too count. Their saviors from before had also appeared, transformed into something terrible. On top of the new threat, the queen herself seemed to make an unexpected change. Rage clearly fueled her new look and she was now out for blood. Just when Kaba began to accept the fact that the group would probably be doomed, another terror appeared. A King. The power that suddenly filled the area was enough to cause Kaba to tremble. Why was this happening to them? They were supposed to have advanced by now. Worst of all Kaba began to think that he would need to shoulder the blame. [color=red][i]'Move'[/i][/color] Kaba tried to convince his body to obey his mind but it was to no avail. That was until he saw it. His eyes expanded as he begrudgingly recognized the body that the King had seemingly ravaged. It was their would be fourth member, Akimichi. The sight caused a sense of urgency to flood the young shinobi's body, powering his will. If any of his other team members were to become victims, he would have their blood on his hands. [color=red][b][i]'MOVE!'[/i][/b][/color] Without delay, Kaba would begin to make his mark. He noticed another scroll with the King, but knew rushing in would be near impossible. They needed to deal with the horde of foes that suddenly filled the area. He noticed that the Queen and King had focused much of their attention towards Bumu, who had already taken the time to create a group of clones, which would be a perfect distraction for Kaba later. Kaba was no expert at swimming, but started to make his way towards the queen with a look of determination and conviction in his eye. He recognized Koma's assault upon the kind, hating that he could no longer communicate with his comrades through normal means. Any of the creatures who attempted to impede his path would most likely have been fried to the bone by a Kaba's quick barriers. As he closed in on the queen, Kaba formed a few hand seals as a small cube of chakra formed in his right hand. He wasted little time in launching the projectile directly at the queen, ready to activate it once in range. Normally, a projectile being thrown under water would find a hard time making it to it's target, but luckily Kaba could remotely control it using his own chakra. It would weave around any creatures that attempted to intercept it to save their queen, and it would chase her to it's max range if she were to attempt to avoid it. Kaba was counting on her not even noticing his attack.
