Between any of the powers exists a dangerous no mans land where demons and beasts roam. The stretch between Heirokeep and Zeino is occupied by the wild claw ninja clan. From a young age each clan member is trained in survival techniques to live in the places they do, and combat so they can carry out secret missions for paying clients. The money goes to building more and better tools to fight off demons, beasts or occasionally a rival clan. Gemstones, the closest thing Pangea has to a universal currency can also be traded back to Tuli the river god for a 1 time use blessing.
"Yo Zemeki" shouted Unway into a shed. "You can't hide forever" "Yes, I can" a young Zemeki responded. The groans of a dying creature can be heard. Enway enters the shed with a dead earth worm monster "Look, it's dead" he then throws it into the middle of the shed. Zemeki jumps down from the ceiling. "Psht, your so lame Zemeki" said Enway. Unway dusts of the dirt from the worm. "You shouldn't waste food Enway" he said "The right of passage doesn't depend on us defeating monsters, it depends on us surviving and using our resources properly" "At least I'm not a pussy like Zemeki" Enway said. "I think you two could learn a lot from each other" Unway replied "We should gather wood before it gets dark"
The gang is traveling south west toward dragons keep. Dragons Keep is sort of like the wild claw clans headquarters its also where the blue dragon (the clan leader) lives. Enway who is on his way to the Observatory see's Joey Wheeler roll by. Everyone else is cloaked but Enway still thinks it's sus and goes over to investigate. "Damn" thought Zemeki "I was hoping to reach Dragons Keep first"
Zemeki, Enway and Unway gathered dry wood and assembled it in a pile. Unway touched the pile with his stick and the branches ignited providing a fire. They begin cooking the worm, when Unway hears something in the distance. "It looks like we're not alone" he said "like we practiced, we know the terrain so we can spread out to leverage our numbers" Zemeki and Enway dawned identical looking costumes to Unway, this was meant to confuse the enemy, as the others would hide if one emerged to attack. They get into formation, when suddenly Enway gets attacked. Unway sees a dude approach and yells "To me, they are ninja's". Zemeki notices Enway is being held against a tree by the collar by a ninja with a red headband. He timidly approaches from behind holding a rock above his head. He steps on a stick and the rival ninja turned to face Zemeki while pressing harder against Enway. Zemeki notices these are kid ninjas just like them. "After I'm finished here, your next" said the rival ninja.
"IS THAT YOU ZEMEKI?!" asked Enway as he jumped 10 meters in the air landing in front of the bike. Joey Wheeler drives around, but Enway grabs his rear. "Do you happen to know where Zemeki is?" he asked. "Beep Beep, I am vehicle, I am not sus" "It can talk" thought Enway "You seem... sus" said Enway examining Joey, before swiftly swiping his arm across the top of the vehicle. There was nothing there.
Another rival ninja comes up behind Zemeki and full nelsons him. "Come closer" red band ninja told the other ninja. Zemeki got punched the stomach and coughed blood. "Lets test out this new toy I got" said the red band ninja as he pulls out a spoon making sure to show Zemeki and the other ninja. The other ninja let go of Zemeki and kicked him in the balls. "Just like we rehearsed" he said. The other ninja pulls out her caltrops and throws them on the ground. The red band ninja touches each caltrop with his spoon one by one. A red line can be seen connecting the caltrops he touches to the spoon. Zemeki screams alerting Unway who rushes to help out his bros. "This ability is called Hotrod, when I scoop out something the objects a touched previously will rush in to fill it's place" Unway is almost there. Zemeki backs away and hides in a bush. The red band ninja begins to move the spoon up toward Enway's eye, but it gets knocked out of his hand by Unway. "You good?" he asks Enway. Enway breathing heavy states "That bastard hasn't seen nothing yet". "No just run into the shed and hide" Unway responded "I'll take care of them, that goes for you too Zemeki".
Enway kicks over Joey Wheeler "ZEMEKI YOU COWARD". The group is now slowly walking away while invisible. "YOU THINK I WOULDN'T NOTICE!?" Enway dashes behind the group and kicks Ramui. Ramui is thrown back out of the quilt. Zemeki uncloaks the quilt "It's me your after" Enway kicks Zemeki back 5 feet. "HOW COULD YOU" says Enway punching Zemeki. "I'm sorry" he responded "I would take it back if I could"
