Mod Post - This is the Meeting Area for the Battlements, those who requested for this particular landing zone in the An Ominous Shadow topic please post here.

The Fortress itself was silent but the ground beneath was not. Every so often a gate would open and disgorge another helping of the Undead to the battle beneath. Some were borne aloft on the wings of skeletal Condors, others just accepted the fall, slamming into the dirt before rising on broken limbs or crawling along the ground hissing in an echo of agony that they could no longer hear. Fire and lightning and wind sputtered along the ground, ruining trees and scorching the undead where they stood. Here and there were worse creatures, massive golems made of sharp bone and rotting meat, robed figures that cast out knives in the hundreds or unleashed bolts of flashing corpselight. It was hard fought but it was not the focus...

Several clearings had been opened up, eight to be exact, not quite equally apart from one another, ready to send teams up to the Fortress above to stop the constant onslaught, there had been barely a break for the past twelve hours, medics were on their last legs trying to keep casualties to a minimum and the longer it went on, the worse it got for the people on the ground. It was up to several groups of genin to fight against the remaining undead threat in the Fortress to save their comrades...

This landing zone was aimed at the battlements specifically, perhaps the farthest of the zones from the depths of the fortress it stood out due to the various statues which seemed to be "guarding" the tower. Although while they were merely artistic renderings of what would usually be filled with actual soldiers they each gave off this feeling of being watched.

Seiko, for her part, had been crouched here for almost an hour now, far before she was scheduled to head to the Fortress with the rest of the teams. She hadn't even met any of them and yet she was expected to trust them to hold up their side of the fight... It irked her somewhat. She hummed quietly as she crouched on the hill she was on, staring down at the fighting that was happening under the Fortress. Her eyes flicked back and forth for a few moments before she checked her wrist and the watch that was there, simple, a leather band holding it, nothing flashy. She'd even dulled the metal a bit. It was closing in on the time.

She turned and moved closer to the middle of the clearing, taking off her glasses and wiping them, letting her blurry surroundings exist for longer than she needed to. She was safe here, for the moment anyway. She put her glasses back on and sighed as the world came back into focus. She'd wait for her teammates to arrive before speaking straight away. "We launch for the Battlements, clearance operation. Systematically kill as we move down through the towers and inside of the wall to locate the power source of the Fortress. Something is keeping it up there, we need to find that and break it." She told them firmly. "Mei, I understand that you have some way of taking us up to the Fortress? If not, there are several other options open to us." If her teammates looked at her closely they'd realise she seemed to have utterly no fear whatsoever, not even a hint of anxiety or trepidation for this mission.

A chill in the immediate area would let Seiko know that Taigakai was just arriving."Well, at least we know Mei would do great here.", he said, crouching next to Seiko and looking at the fight and then the fortress. Taigakai's whole thing was ice, that fire was concerning for him, more than Mei's attacks because this wasn't exactly controlled. "Can't believe we're fighting a hoard of zombies. Just look at them, that one's moving with its leg backwards. That's so gross." Personally, dead things should stay dead, not limp around with shattered and twisted limbs and flail around to fight.

"You think the core is in the center?", he mused. Cores to things were generally centric anyways. If they were going for systematic kills, Taigakai guessed he could try to utilize his gekigan and see if these zombies had some thermal heath that differentiated them from the fire and literally everything else. Maybe they were actually significantly colder, which would be a much better contrast. He shrugged to himself, closing his eyes and using a d-rank of chakra to activate it, using the fight below as a sample for what the zombies looked like in thermal vision.

Mei had joined the group in the clearing a little before Seiko had returned, but she was so focused on the castle she didn't quite give her the time right away. If she'd spoken to them early she might have, but she seemed to be doing her own thing still. She returned to paying attention as they had their little debrief, and it was obvious to Mei that there was some worry for Taigekai, but Seiko seemed normal despite how daunting the situation was. "Personally I've been trying to look for weaknesses but they don't seem to follow the same logic as other humanoids. Example being yes, that one's knees are backwards." She glanced back towards the castle, pondering in her mind just how possible it would be. She'd never after all used her dragons to climb that height but it was possible. "I can make a dragon to fly us up there. I've never flown like that on one though. And I'm thinking I should create a Crystal dragon. It'll get us up faster and provide us some more defenses, and I can keep her constructed for combat once we're up there too. Or I could save some chakra for a stone dragon. Personally I think a crystal dragon is our better bet,"

While they were discussing the method of which they would get to the Fortress the Battlements remained as tranquil as ever, it was interesting seeing as they were wide enough for three individuals to walk side by side if they were as small as children. Whereas adult could probably walk two by two and maybe even a three by three with mild difficulty for whomever was closer to the outside due to how the walls were structured. Other than that the statues were ever unchanging even as other individuals proceeded to head towards other locations within the fortress. Other than that not much could be seen and in order to get a better look they'd have to actually arrive. At the very least whatever they could encounter should prove interesting as it wasn't everyday people could assault a flying fortress of doom and gloom.

"If you feel that your chakra isn't as readily required and that we can make up for the loss, then use the Crystal Dragon. It will allow us easier flight to the Battlements and it will also mean that any of the flying creatures will be easier to destroy. I won't summon my golems until we reach the Battlements although I will ask that we take a few moments up there for me to ready them properly. I have grown more powerful since we last fought as a team." She chuckled quietly and adjusted her glasses with an evil glint before rolling her shoulders and feeling her muscles thrum with energy flowing through them. Her body was ready for combat now, it took only moments to trigger the correct form of response from her brain.

Once the dragon was made, she'd immediately leap up onto it with a little push of her strength and pull up her wrist display to start looking at her golems, humming quietly as she done so. She wouldn't really say much until they reached Battlements...

Taigakai rolled his eyes and placed a hand on Seiko's head, ruffling her hair. "Yeah yeah, we've all gotten stronger, I'm sure.", he said, toning down her cocky attitude. He had a feeling she wouldn't care about the statement though.

The air around Taigakai got colder to the point where small puffs of mist were exhaled in small clouds. He clambered onto the dragon behind Seiko, staring up at the castle and squinting a little to try to see specs of heat. He just took a deep breath to keep a calm, no need to worry about fire, right?

Mei nodded, standing ready and summoning her crystal dragon for the group of them. Having it completely flying was not something she had much practice in, but she was confident this could work. She elected fort he crystal with the idea of keeping it around longer, and would allow them to get up there quickly and with a good defense. She stood at the head of her dragon, despite Seiko being the appointed team leader, she stood at point on her dragon's head. "Ok Peridot, let's fly," The crystal dragon roared, and began it's accent to the tower at A-rank speed carrying the three.

As the trio approached in the distance portions on the Battlements would actually open up revealing gargoyles which were perched seemingly to guard against those who wished to breech the walls guarding the fortress. Once by one they would crack and then shudder as they came alive before dropping off of their respective ledges and diving below. There were nine in total each of them falling down at Swift Release speeds and having a trail of dust following them as their bodies slowly shook off the petrification which kept them inanimate. The distance between them and the presumed interlopers was quite vast however and there was enough time for them to shake off more of their petrification by the time they were within engagement range. Other than that nothing else would occur as the Evil Eyes and Flying Skulls were more preoccupied with the other groups attempting to besiege the fortress.

Seiko sighed softly and stood up on the back of the dragon, using her chakra flow to stick to it. "I won't be able to take them all down, so I suggest that some of you help." She told her allies before summoning her Lightning Golem. Seiko stepped around it and locked her body against its leg, using her strength and chakra flow to hold both of them in place as the Golem rose up. She pulled out a pair of kunai and then handed them to the Golem who took them graciously with a nod, the contact allowing her to surge her power through the Golem. It seemed to grow slightly, its arms becoming more pronounced and it hissed quietly.

With the power enhanced, the Golem waited until the opponents were around 150 feet away and then swung its arms out. Both kunai surged forwards at A-Rank speeds, empowered by the strength of the Golem to attempt to slam into the Gargoyles and punch straight through them. Whether it was successful or not, Seiko would hand over another two Kunai and wait to see what happened.

Taigakai watched the gargoyles gracefully fall out of the sky castle, almost like really fat bats with really muscular arms and really short, stubby legs. Okay, less graceful now that he thought about it. Taigakai stretched out his arms, cracked his knuckles and his neck before preforming hand seals. He needed some kind of warmup, he supposed. Couldn't sleep on the job since it's a super dangerous sky castle with a lot of noise and chaos about. Taigakai's face still revealed he wasn't too warmed up for fighting, but this would at least make him more awake by just starting to get into the fight. A quick little scan and he opened out his hands, spreading fingers and letting five short bursts of lightning in a spread towards some gargoyles. Another set of hand seals and he did it again in another direction.

Mei left the defense to her comrades, electing most to continue in guiding her giant crystal dragon carrying them up to the fortress. She was confident especially in Seiko's ability to defend them with rapid speed. She merely kept her focus up, guiding her dragon in to making any minute alterations to it's course from her point at the tip of her dragon's continued A-rank speed of flight. With one hand down on the flat crystal, her other came back and gripped at the hilt of her sword. As she was standing in front of the other two to better guide her dragon, she was prepared that if any should happen to get past the assault of Seiko and Taigekai, that she could have her sword ready. For as much as she might have been capable of attacking with them, she needed to conserve her chakra.

It would seem that the team was prepared for this sort of assault seeing as the kunai would fly true and pierce through the gargoyles causing them to crumble into dust which would fill the air around where they had been killed. The dust would merely hover as if fixed in place and it would obscure whether or not Taikagai's lightning release techniques managed to hit the other seven, well at least until three of the gargoyles would emerge from the dust cloud which seemed to have increased as another two gargoyles had been killed. These three gargoyles would actually plummet in a triangle formation seemingly trying to minimize the chance of being destroyed by widespread attacks. Either way they would continue to plummet as more of their body would try and limber up though thanks to the dust cloud it was unclear whether or not they would be joined by more of their kin or that they were the last ones.
