Sound Knight Retrieval [Self-RP]

The journey from Hidden Springs was along one, especially with the departing of his snake comrade, Suppai. Sando was told by the map's directions to go to ancient ruins in the Sound Village; a Lesser Country in the known Shinobi world. It was once led by a Sannin, one whom shared the Snake Contract, much like Sando; however, the Sannin had more basic, yet still powerful snakes, including the Snake leader, Manda. He still trudged on, reaching the ancient ruins of what he believed to be a forgotten civilization in the Sound Country. The tablet on the entrance read the following rhyme, and somewhat of a warning: "Beware to all that choose to enter, as they will meet in the center. When they meet the tomb's keeper, they've chosen him to be their reaper. With his undying might, nobody can put up a fight. He attacks without a sound, and will take any man down. Once he's dead the humming tune, you will shatter like a rune."

Sando sighed; another threat came his way. According to the map, he had to go through the ancient ruins, and locate the hidden cave of the Tomb of the Sound Knight. This seemed simple enough. As he made his first step, he felt his body get pulled into the ancient ruins, a strong force tugging his body through. He took a brief look at the map, reading: Beware this statement I'm about to tell, these ruins hold a cursed spell. Only one marked with the Sound's Knight trust, may be able to leave without a bust.

Yet again, Sando groaned; he was doing this than more trouble it was worth. According to his hints, he wouldn't be able to leave without taking care of the Sound Knight. He paced himself through the location, his wandering eye attempting to locate the cave. Strangely, he felt a loud echoing noise battering against his ear drums; it was nothing like he'd ever heard. He held his ears, groaning in deep pain; it only grew louder as he struggled to keep walking.

Sando felt the noise coming from all over, him looking around; his eyes were barely open. He tried his best to see what it was; his vision wasn't very clear. When he looked around enough, he finally found it: Sound Bugs. They had Horn-like tusks on both sides of the head, emitting a high-pitched array of sound; a pitch loud enough to lead anyone into dire pain. However, the sound was at a pitch that only children had the hearing capabilities to hear it so easily; leading Sando into his great pain.

He placed the area under a good genjutsu, vines sprouting all over the area. They acted under Sando's manipulation, crushing the bugs one after another; making the pain ratio drop [out of 10]. As his pain dropped, he walked over to the bugs; his hands were off his ears now, with the pain a mere buzzing in his ear that was stand-able. He picked up a bug, the vines sinking back into the ground; the bugs were in the dozens. Maybe... the buzzing would lead him to the insect's newfound master?

He closed his eyes, relying on his hearing to find them; the lack of sight provoking his hearing to increase. He followed the sound of the bugs, using his sense of touch, hearing, and smell to prevent any incidents. Most obviously he went face-first into a boulder, snapping out of it; seeing a caved-in... cave. He opened his eyes, looking at small cracks in the caved-in... cave; pondering. He couldn't fit, but could possibly lift them up with some help.

He then decided to utilize his plant work; spinning another genjutsu over to entrance to the cave. The vines, plants, and flowers wrapped around the rocks; him making them push up on the rocks, giving Sando an opportunity to slide under the gap. He took the opportunity, pushing his body under before the rocks outweighed the plant life; the rocks falling back into place like before. He watched as oxygen escaped the gave, and entered it through the gap in the caved-in ruins; Sando able to survive.

~Part 2: Trap...~
Sando calmed his breathing down; it cut short by the sudden shot of high-pitch moaning in his ears. The bugs were hidden by the dark know, and decided to charge through the cave with a kunai in hand; hoping to crush some of the Sound Bugs. As he barraged through the cave, he almost tripped several times; regaining balance shortly after-wards. He saw a twinkle of light in the farthest reach of space in the cave; wondering if it was in his head. No matter what happens... he charged towards what might be his destination.

He could hear the screaming in his ears grow louder as he reached the place he was destined to go to; so said the ancient prophecy. He felt the wall he soon crash landed into from his charging; feeling ancient ruins. A story was told through the runes, a gentle melody played by the runes' touch: 'When the tomb of the sound knight has been reached, the chosen one has made a big feat. When his mission is done, he's completed his run, and may be able to retreat.' He recognized the melody, not by memory, but from knowledge of translating music into words. He smiled, him realizing he finally made it.

He felt something touch the top of his skull, a strong, and scale-y man touching him. "Welcome, to Sound Hell...," - Said the Sound Knight. He was a tall man, arched in steel armor, and holding his sword and shield infront. He had the power to emit high frequency screeches, able to knock anyone back, and ultimately anything - helping him in long-range fighting. This made the Sound Knight a deadly adversary, especially in the dark cave.

"Woah... didn't... see that coming...," - Said Sando. The Sound Knight smirked under the darkness, emitting a high frequency screech to knock Sando's head, powerfully into the stone wall. Sando had a damaged face now, looking goofily up at the person whom pretty much kicked his ass from just doing that. "Well... I'm bone---" - Said the weak Sando. The Suna Chunin then passed out on the spot.

"Just like all the others...," - Said the smiling Sound Knight. He put Sando over his shoulders, taking him away to his lit lair in the cave. The Sound Knight really had a disgusting face, like Freddy Krueger disgusting. He simply left Sando on the ground, taking off his armor for now; not suspecting Sando would wake for some time. However..., Sando's eyes flickered open; it was time for Round 2.
