LISTEN AND READ

''"Make it to Iwagakure, I believe in you". ''Those words rang through his ears and he knew hat they meant deep down. Before he had a chance to actually respond to him, everything was happening so quickly. He felt Keldran let go of his shoulders and cursed. He knew something like this would happen, though he had hoped he would be the one making the sacrifice, not Keldran. "HOLD ON". He brought Elizabeth tight to his chest to stop himself from accidentally dropping her. They began to spin, Mugen at that point turned his thrusters off and took the brunt of the trashing. Once they could get no faster Keldran let go.

Mugen, with Elizabeth in his arms was propelled at immense speeds, their trajectory, even with the thrusters off wuld easily clear the mountain range. He decided to save the thrusters for if he needed to change trajectory or avoid anything. "STRONG TILL THE END". He cursed under his breath, closing his eyes for a moment to steel himself. "Strong till the end ... Brother." he took a deep breath and opened his eyes "I'll set the balance right" He declared to himself. Why had the world decided that this would be the fate of these brothers? To come so far together only to be brushed aside. He cursed Eito, but was he the only person he could curse? He cursed himself for not standing up sooner, for not staying back in Suna to help Keldran. He cursed Gyuugi Akimichi, Amegakure. He cursed the Hokage for sending them in the first place. He cursed it all. But above all he cursed himself over and over for being nothing more than a shadow in the light of his brother.

Now was not the time to mourn or swear revenge however, that would have to wait. As Keldran plummeted into his unknown fate below. Mugen had faith he would be alright, but if there was one thing he'd learnt so far is that faith wasn't enough. It came to his attention that even though Keldran had given him an opening he was still not out of the clear yet. A large dragon made of earth was coming straight towards him while another was rising from below aiming to sandwhich him and put an end to his life.

He reacted quickly and with timing he hoped was perfect. As the head of the first dragon (the one coming head on) neared him he fired his thrusters and angled his body so that he would go above it. He put as much energy into the thrusters as he could, leaving nothing to chance. If all worked well he would be moving fast enough to avoid collision and would be travelling parralel with the body of the eart dragon before hopefully branching away. He would turn the thrusters on and off in an attempt to control his course so that he could react to anything thrown at him.

If all went well Mugen would quickly clear the mountain range and after a few minutes of high speed travelling,would land with a thud only a hundred or so meters from the main gate of Iwagakure. His body ached, he was nearing on being totally drained at this stage but he still couldn't stop. He would look around him, and when confident he was in no immediate danger would revert from his Sage Mode and put Elizabeth on the ground. If he remained unhindered he would flip the hood of his cloak over his head and tuck his long mane of grey hair away effectivly concealing his identity. He would take Elizabeth's hand in his and begin walking to the gate. With Keldran gone he had to make the plans himself, would he leave her at the gate and run? Would he ask someone to take her? Or would he walk her to the Daimyo himself and hand her over while hoping he would be allowed to leave? And what if ANBU from Konoha were in Iwa for whatever reason? He had to remember that he was still a Missing-Nin. He would occasionally glance over his shoulder, deep down hoping to see Keldran appear over the horizon but a part of he knew that the odds were slim.
