OOC: Alright I'm still a bit confused but I've decided on this course of action:
1; you cannot take back something you did in a previous post. In this case I am referring to the two of you talking. And as the Ripper's attacked as you where talking, you cannot take it back and thus leave before the Ripper's attacked.
2; Since your changes from the Updates haven't properly hit, I'm calling a void on your flicker. Since you didn't mention using hand seals, so yeah, no body flicker for you.
The idiot child attempted to perform one of their reality hoaxes, but apparently forgot some part of the strange ritual. Of course the Ripper's did not know this and didn't care either. Their pray had just brought himself a lot closer, they surged upwards. And consumed the two Genin, not immediately, but as they where swarmed by the writhing things, they where both very quickly eaten. The acid their bodies produced mutated their bodies and made it easier to reform.
The death cries of their brothers and sister simply called for reason to hurry their work. Within a few seconds the two of them had been completely overwhelmed. There was no time for either of them to prevent it from happening, since the two of them where immediately covered by the horde, with the weight of the creatures bodies piled atop, there was no escape.
And very quickly, their bodies where too mutilated to even form hand seals, and thus it was, that the first blood for the Ripper's was drawn. The Ripper's had very quickly attacked the vital organs, there was no hope for them, and their sensei was too far to provide the rescue.
And on the note of the teacher, the Hordes around him and swelled up, and had by now felled the trees that these bags of water liked to pounce onto. Unless he suddenly learned levitation, his only option was to fight, and even for someone rank. If would be a long process. And by then the next shipment of Rippers would arrive.
