"So we are taking on the Zerg and trying to stop them from getting to the data centers," Naruto asks over the com to Jim as his team took a transport down to the forward base. Sarah was going over her rifle and counting out her ammo. Anko sharpen her kunai before storing them away and making sure the Paper bombs were ready to go.
"We do not know how long till the swarm takes over this area so move quickly. My boys will be backing you up or take over if need be. Dr. Narud says he will have transport/medevac on planet help move you guys around," Jim replies as he looks over the main battle on the Holo screen of his flag ship. "There are three data centers that need to be destroyed. Dr. Narud also wants us to pick up any survivors if we find any."
Naruto nods his head and look at his teammate/friends who nod back, "we understand. We will do what we can."
The drop ship lands near the command center letting the team disembark away from some of the forward fighting. As Naruto, Sarah and Anko step off the ship they look around as Naruto and Sarah remember what it was like to fight the Zerg. Anko who never truly face the Zerg was shock at how something she saw as something that could easily be put down was taking over the planet with ease. Naruto and Sarah move to the ramp leading up to the base as a group of War Pig Marines running up the ramp follow by a group of Zergling and Mutalisk. Both Sarah and Naruto leapt into combat while Anko shakes off her shock of seeing the Zerg for the first time. Bringing her rifle to bare Sarah quickly loads a round into the breach and fires at the Mutalisk as Naruto charges the Zergling with spyblade on his arm out. Using his Psionic power Naruto throws two Zergling into each other smashing their spines.
"Kami I thought you two were joking about them," Anko says as she shakes the shock out of her and walks up to the two. Sarah frowns as she looks over the city seeing the Zerg everywhere. They were running out of time and the Zerg knew it. Naruto centers himself before his head snaps towards space as a warning comes in overall channels.
"Warning level 11 biotic detected. The Prince of Thorns has arrive!"
"Well this just got allot harder. You two head for the second data center. I have the first one," Naruto tells them as he pulls out his staff spinning it in his hand. Both Sarah and Anko gave him a flat look telling him to rethink the plan. "I am the only one who has a chance at slowing him down and staying alive. I will buy you two time to get to the third data center and destroy it."
Sarah eyes flash from anger to concern several times. Naruto and Anko both stop it. Naruto pulls Sarah close so their foreheads could touch. Anko turns and looks away knowing this was just for them even if it hurt a little seeing them so close. Sarah closes her eyes as she feels Naruto reach out with his biotic power to help calm her down. "Promise me you will come back to me."
"The void would not be able to hold me for long," Naruto says closing his eyes as well blocking out every but them. "I give you my word I will come back."
Sarah opens her eyes and nods before pulling back. Grabbing Anko she takes the first medevac that shows up and heads for the second data center. Naruto looks at the four war pigs that stood at the top of the ramp looking down ready to jump into action. "You four hold the fort until we get back."
"Yes sir," one of them shouts with a salute him. Nodding to them Naruto blinks across the channel and heads for the first data center before going to meet the prince. Getting close Naruto stops three marines and a Goliath sitting top of a building looking at the Data center. Blinking up to them Naruto looks them over. All of them seem to have nothing wrong with them other than being tired and the fear of being killed by the Zerg. Grabbing one of the spare rifles lying on the roof Naruto takes aim at the building generators and opens fire. The other four seeing what he was doing join in laying down a solid stream of lead and rockets into the building and generators. After a minute the building starts to show signs of weakening from the rockets and with the generators starting to explode the building finally collapses in on itself.
"Thanks for showing up I thought we were not going to make it. We better get back to base then head out for the other data center sir," a captain rank marine asks Naruto who shakes his head. "No I have another mission for you. A basilisk is on that island over there take it out. We can get data from its DNA and from studying it remain. Both can help us fight these Zerg. Do you understand me?"
The captain frowns under his helmet but nods his head. "Loud and clear sir. We will take care of the Zerg."
"Good then return to base, rearm and get back out there we are going to need to get this mission done quickly," Naruto says as he flags in a medevac to pick up the men as he blinks off the roof. Taking out a few Zerg Naruto makes his way towards the Prince. He was not worry about the prince being a class 11 when Zeratul was close to a class 14 and was told by him he had passed him in strength. While biotic the prince was stronger over all Naruto had faith he was stronger.
'Still do not let your guard down. This prince is what your mate is turning into. She started out as a class 9 now she is already a class 12.' His burden tells him. Naruto nods his head before pulling out his staff and turning on his arm blades, all four of them. After the run in with Duran, Naruto work on a way to gain another edge in battle. His plan was to make the psi blades even more dangers by adding a blade that could come out over the hand and the elbow at the same time. He went even further by having them spin around his arm so he would not get cut when his arm bent the wrong way. Adding in two fail safes also made them safer so no flesh of the owner could be remove.
Crossing a bridge Naruto walks up onto the prince who sat on a pile of rubble grinning like mad madman. (Think of Jokers grin) He was cover in a brown exoskeleton with bone like spikes coming out of forearm almost like blades. His hair was a sickly black bone like dreadlocks, similar to Sarah's only black and shorter. What skin that could be seen was a pail yellowish green with small darker yellow and green spots. Under his wrist Naruto made out a small hole. Looking back to the face of the prince Naruto notes his eyes was a reddish orange color almost like a sitting sun. His fingers were no better than claws as the marks on the ground and ruble showed.
"So I finally get to meet my thorn in the side, son of Zeratul," the prince speaks voice full of arrogant; Naruto also notes his teeth seem yellow and brown. "Tell me did you weep when you heard that the matron was kill, by your fathers own hand, did you swear to kill him for what he had done?"
"No I did not weep like you wanted me to. But I did swear to kill who was responsible for her death," Naruto tells him as he removes his cloak and falls into his stance. "While I may not to be able to send you to the void now. I can slow you down."
"Ah yes Sarah Kerrigan. The ghost you save and in doing so left me to die," the prince shouts in rage as he leaps at Naruto who eyes widen at what he heard. There was another ghost on the planet but how could he have miss him. He check everything before leaving the system there was no human life signs of any kind only Zerg. No hybrids ether so how did he miss him. Blocking a claw strike to his head Naruto spins his staff trying to hit the prince's in the head. The prince uses his free right hand to grab the staff making Naruto smirk.
"Zeratul was right about you. You do think you are a god," Naruto says before lashing out with his foot making the prince slide back a good foot or so. The prince growls lowly before two bones like wings come from his back. Ducking under one of the wings, Naruto spins his staff into the side of the Prince's ribcage. The Prince lashes out with the spikes on his arm. Naruto leaps back only to lose his psi sword blade, by having it slip in half by the spike. "Better not touch those thorns."
"Or let me touch you," the Prince shouts as he charges using both wings to try and pin Naruto to the ground or wall. Ducking under them Naruto finds he is starting to move slower and harder time breathing. Looking around he stops a small cut on his left arm. "Oh you finally note. Even if I just scratch you the poison in your body will kill you within five minutes. And I am a God."
Naruto coughs spitting up blood and spit. Whipping away the small amount of blood on his chin from the cough Naruto stills his mind as his body fights the poison. Covering himself in shadows Naruto vanish to heal. The Prince grins waiting for him to show himself again and kill him. Naruto calls on his tenets power to burn the poison out of his system. Once clear of the poison Naruto blinks above the Prince bringing his staff down hard on his head only to be block by a wing.
"Why do you keep fighting when you know you are dead," the Prince asks wanting to know why human kept fighting like this some times. Naruto growls at him before being thrown into a broken wall and through it. Naruto growls as he digs himself out. Feelings his chakra starting to move in a weird way through his body, Naruto growls even more.
"Why do I fight?" Naruto asks aloud wondering himself what he fought for now. At first it was for the Dark Templers and his mother to bring honor to them. Then it was to keep Sarah and the Twins safe so he could put a stop to the dreams and fine a way back to his birth planet, and help start up a new Protoss Empire. Now he did not know. Closing his eyes Naruto tries to find a new reason. Only one thing could come to his mind. Opening his eyes Naruto spins his staff blocking another spear like strike from the prince that was aim for him. "I fight now to stop a darkness that is coming."
The prince growls before lunching several small armor-piercing spines from the small hole under his wrist. Naruto vanishes again leaving only a log in his place. Growling and screaming the Prince throws Psionic storms all around him in hopes of destroying Naruto in one. Within minutes the small island is leveled. Ruble is now no higher than a foot or two. Crater holes cover the island ether filled with ruble or water that plash into them. "See that father even your strongest man could not stand up to me."
"Now I see why your battle ended in a draw. You have no control Zeratul could have killed you with ease but did not." Naruto says as he reappears grinning like a fox. The Prince looks him over and sees he is now covered in a red like cloak that took the shape of a fox. Spinning his staff Naruto seals it away before falling into his Taijutsu stance all four of his arm blades on and glowing a nice green color. The Prince stands aloof before lashing out at him.
Naruto ducks under the wing and blocks the other with his left arm before slamming his right hand deep into the Princes hip before using the same arm to elbow strike at the block wing and leave a nice deep cut in the Prince. Cutting the wing Naruto leaps back to watch the Prince wounds close within a second of them being cut. 'So that is why it ended in a draw his healing rate is the same as mine. Only I do not think I could grow a limb.'
'I would not be so sure. Some of your ancestors from the Uzumaki clan been said to survive their head being remove only because another clan member was able to put it back on within five minutes. While no one wanted to try it, your own birth mother, Kushina was able to grow her left hand back after it was remove.'
'still better to try it out at a later time in case you are wrong,' Naruto tells his tenet before feeling his chakra starting to bubble near his skin. His ear twitches hearing a building being destroyed and smiles knowing only one more data center were left. Getting ready to with draw Naruto, kicks back ward trying to kick up dirt and dust to block the Prince's eyes. The Princes shoots forward screaming in rage only to stop when another figure shows up. "What kept you Orochimaru."
"I am sorry my lord but I had matter else were to deal with. Duran will no longer be any trouble to you," Orochimaru says hissing softly. Naruto looks at the snake Sannin and curse seeing he was holding his sword. The Sannin turns his yellow eyes to Naruto and grins. "My lord let me deal with this Terran for you. You must find the data and get your queen."
"Very well," the Prince says with a snarl. "But I want him alive. He will be useful on breaking the Protoss."
Orochimaru smirks as he bows to the Prince who walks away as if he won the fight without being hit. Naruto watches him out of the corner of his eye before looking back at the Snake. Unsealing his bow staff Naruto falls into his form as his Psi ionic powers mix in with his chakra making deep gashes in the ground around him. Taking a breath Naruto centers himself before closing his eyes. Seeing this as a time to strike Orochimaru lashes out bring his sword down in hopes to cut Naruto left arm off. Naruto leaps backwards before opening his eyes. Ducking under another swing Naruto rams his staff into the right shoulder joint of his opponent. Turning on the blade Naruto cuts inward in a u shape making it harder to heal. Orochimaru burst in mud making Naruto spin he staff around to block another strike aim for his spine.
"My. My. My you sure have grown Naruto-kun. But you are still not match for me," Orochimaru taunts only for the side of his face and skull get smash in by Naruto's staff. Cart wheeling into a hole, Orochimaru tries to figure out how he got hit. Pulling himself out he spots Naruto holding the staff looking at him as if waiting for the right time to attack. Orochimaru had killed hundreds of Protoss and Terran and Ninja. But his opponent was a mix of all three, smart like the Protoss, will of the Terran and strength to match his former teammate. Suddenly Orochimaru found himself air born and Naruto missing from his spot.
"Zerashk Gulida!" Naruto yells out for the first time in two years. Naruto feels his chakra reaching bursting point tries to burn it off by using wind chakra only for it not to help. Looking at his left arm Naruto notes his chakra starting to bubble up and out of his skin. Letting out a scream making very Zerg, Terran and hybrid on the planet stop in their tracks and turn to look for the being that made that noise. Sarah and Anko both stop and turn to the towering column of Chakra that was growing in size.
Throwing out his left hand and arm in hopes to get the chakra off of him Naruto eyes widen as nine chain form from the chakra and shoot out before implanting themselves deep into the earth. Orochimaru who had landed eyes widen seeing the Chakra chains. Biting back a curse Orochimaru shots out hundreds of snakes from his sleeve in hopes of killing Naruto. He no longer care about the Prince, if Naruto was able to gain control and master the chakra chains then Naruto could become far too strong for even Leader-Sama and The Dark One to take on together. Those chains could hold down the Kyuubi with easy even when the user was on death's doorstep. So a user who was about to enter their peak would be easily able to take on them. Naruto spots the snakes out of the corner of his eye and tries to get a defense up but with the chains he was having some trouble just breathing.
Orochimaru seeing this grin and laughs aloud believing he had won. Only one small problem seem lady luck was not on Orochimaru side this time, will she never sided with him any ways so why would she side with him this time. As if knowing their owner/welder was in danger the chains break free from the ground and join hundreds of other chains, that burst from Naruto's back and left arm, before blocking the snakes. Orochimaru screams out before calming down, taking a good look he starts to grin. Naruto was painting those Chakra chains had drain him. But the problem was once a chain was summoned it could be use freely with almost no chakra. If a person had full reserves and summon 100 chains using only 5% of their reserves they would only us .01% of their reserves to use them any way they want. Standing up Orochimaru bows to Naruto, "it seems we have ended this battle in a draw. I cannot get close to you and you are nearly out of energy. So until next time Naruto-kun."
With that Orochimaru sunk into the ground vanishing completely making Naruto growl in frustration on how much the Snake got away. Looking at the ground Naruto knew he was going to need to learn Jutsu even if he found them clashing with his style of fighting.
Using his staff Naruto stands up before making his way to the last Data center hoping to catch up with his teammates. Naruto makes it only two feet before passing out again.
With Sarah and Anko
Both Sarah and Anko could feel Naruto's chakra spike to a new height then drop. Both wanted to go and help him but they knew they would most likely get in the way of whoever he was fighting with. Seeing no other choice they got ready to take down the last data center. They had a good size force with them but knew that it was still going to be hard to take down.
"Jim do we have any nukes on hand," Sarah asks as she looks at the base in front of them. Sarah frowns as she sees many spore cannons set up around and throughout the base. Take one down and two more covered the area behind it. If they had nukes she would just drop several nukes on them clearing everything out giving them a clear shot at the last data center.
"We got three here on standby, two more are being put together. If you give us a minute I will get them prime for you," Jim replies as he looks over the battle field from the bridge of his ship on the Holo board. He could see what Sarah was thinking. The only problem was the Prince seems to be making a bee line right for her and Anko. Making a quick decision Jim orders two of his tanks to turn into siege mode in hopes of slowing him down. "You guys only got five minutes before the prince shows up. Looks like Naruto is fighting someone else can't tell who."
"Damn. Anko we have incoming time to bring out the big guns," Sarah shouts out to Anko who nods her head before running through hand seals to summon her Snakes. Three large blue snakes appear on the ground around Anko who points at the Zerg. All three bolt at the Zerg eating and crushing them as they send some flying thanks to their tails. Sarah moves closer to the data center and takes aim at it as she locks in a nuclear strike on it. Anko moves to cover her keeping any Zerg that got to close to her was put down hard. Throwing a kunai into Baneling making it explode, Anko punches a Zergling in the head.
"how many of them are there," Anko asks as she summons a wall of earth to stop several spikes that been shot at the two. Sarah does not say anything as she locks in the last point for the nuke and send the signal for them. Back at the base three nukes are launch for the last data center. Sarah stands up and looks at Anko. "we need to move now we are still in the blast zone."
Anko nods her head as she grabs Sarah and leaps up onto a build nearby. Sarah lands on her feet and moves so she would be on Anko's back. Getting on Sarah holds on tight as Anko begins to run across the top of buildings away from the data center. Her aim was to find the men they had sent to pull some of the Zerg away from the Data center and hope they had a drop ship ready and would keep the prince away from them for a bit. Seeing their men Anko lands close to them and lets Sarah down.
"Private get a drop ship in here now Nukes are in coming and we need to get clear now," Sarah tells one of the troopers near her who was ducking behind a blowout car. Nodding his head the soldier gets on the radio.
"Need immediate evac right away at grid Charlee 589. We have nukes in coming. I repeat we need immediate evac," the man says over the radio. For two heart beats they got nothing back until a female voice broke the silences. "This is Red Dawn leader we are on the way. Can you hold for two minutes?"
Sarah takes over the radio, "Red Dawn Leader you have less than a minute before those nukes touch down. You can lose a few ships or we all get taken out in the blast up to you."
"make it 15 seconds then. Lunch a flare so we can find you I am seeing Zerg everywhere with a few pockets of Terran," Red Leader tells her as Sarah pulls out a flair gun and fires it into the air. "I have a green flair we are coming in hot so be ready. We are doing no stop grab."
"Under stood we will be ready," Sarah tells them before standing up behind cover and shouting out orders. "Evac in bound coming in hot to a not stop pick up. We have one shot at this."
Anko looks up as the Drop ships begin using drop lines to hook onto everyone and pulls them up. Her and Sarah grab a line and feel themselves pulled up off the ground and into the ship. Sarah moves up to the cockpit to talk to the pilot. "How many did we lose?"
"We got all up a few who step out of the way. I think they are going to hold the Zerg so we can get away. How long till the nuke land?"
"Any second so get back to base now," Sarah tells her as she moves back to sit down next to Anko who was looking down at the floor with a blank look. Sitting down next to her, Sarah places a hand on her back. Anko looks at her before looking back at the floor. Both look up as a large explosion could be heard making him let out a sigh. "let's pray that three will be all is needed to take that building down."
"How is you so calm about this. In this day alone I had more brushes with death then I had back home on s-rank missions," Anko says looking green now. Sarah rubs her back softly trying to make her feel better.
"I would like to say something like how ghosts are train for this but," Sarah says shaking her head. "There is no training or planning for facing the Zerg. For everyone we killed there today 200 hundred more will take its place. Nothing helps you face the Zerg. Naruto cuts himself off from his emotions when he faces the Zerg and empties his mind. I can't do it like he can but I am able to control my emotions to a point and force worry and fear down. The ones that stayed to keep the Zerg busy I fought alongside before in the last war. They know victory over the Zerg is getting as many men out alive as you can to fight again another day. Zerg have the numbers so we have to fight in ways that make those numbers useless but because of their numbers it likes trying to stop a river with a few rocks."
"You make it sound like nothing we do matters all we are doing is slowly down them," Anko says feeling sicker as the ship rocks.
"They have been beaten back before and we will do it again. It just takes some risky moves and luck the size of a planet," Sarah tells Anko as she read over the reports from the end of the last war. Hearing that they could beat the Zerg help Anko a little but she was still shook up. Sarah stands up frowning feeling the ship pick up speed. Anko looks at her wondering what was going one as well. "Wait here something is not right."
Heading back up to the cockpit Sarah sees they weir now in space heading for a Battle cruiser. "What's going on I gave orders to head to the base."
"Sorry ma'am but with the last Data center being destroyed we been give orders to head to the closes friendly Battle Cruiser. I have set a route for the Hyperion." The pilot tells her as she turns to look at Sarah only to see Sarah frowning. Sarah turns and heads back into the troop hold to wait. "Jim is calling everyone back to the ship." Sarah tells Anko as she takes a seat next to her again.
Anko looks over at her. "Any word from Blonde?"
Sarah shakes her head hoping that he made it off planet. She knew Jim would not leave him behind if he could. She prays to every god she could think of that Naruto was ok. Anko also says a small prayer before leaning back into her seat.
"Bet he is standing in the landing bay waiting for you to show up," Anko says trying to help her friend now to relax. Sarah smiles at Anko even if the smile was force but she knew Anko was right. Naruto would most likely waiting for them to land. She knew from the time she was kidnap that Naruto would fight through hell and back to save his friends and family.
"I know but he did fight with the Prince and your former teacher if the radio chatter was correct," Sarah says relaxing a little more as she felt the ship slow down a little then pick up speed telling her the ship join another group of ships to make it hard to hit or be pick off by Zerg fliers. Closing her eyes Sarah reaches out with her psionic Sarah tries to find Naruto only to feel someone else waiting for her.
-mental plane-
Sarah found herself standing in front of the Prince of the Blades. The Prince stood there smirking at her.
"The Queen finally arrives," He says with a sneer as if she was post to be his queen.
"I am not your Queen," Sarah says spitting at his feet. The prince growls before launching himself at Sarah like a rocket. His left claw like hand wraps around her throat quicker then she could blink and begins to lift her up off her feet. Sarah begins to gasp for air as the Prince starts to choke her.
"You will respect your King and master," he growls at her before throwing her to the ground and walks away to a throne made out of dead Protoss and humans. Sarah rubs her neck as she coughing, looking at the Prince, Sarah slowly stands up. "Tell me, why do you not join the swarm like you should. With the Swarm your powers will grow."
"I have no need to answer you," Sarah says in a crack voice. She knew the prince could kill her in a heartbeat if he so wish it. The Prince frowns as his claw hands crush the two human heads they laid over before standing back up.
"I command you to tell me," he shouts at her. He could not understand how someone would not wish to join the swarm if it meant they would survive and become more powerful. But before him was a woman, who was post to be his Queen, fight the infection in her body that was post to turn her into his queen. While he had turn other humans before they did not survive long and he knew that Sarah would.
Sarah narrows her eyes before closing them and shakes her head as she makes her good byes to everyone she held dear. While she wanted to live she knew the Prince would ether beat it out of her or kill her.
The Prince roars in rage as he slams a fist into Sarah's face hard making her fly a good thirty feet before landing and rolling another ten. Sarah slowly stands back up and looks back at the Prince smirking. "I have been hit harder by a toad." While Sarah knew the Prince would most likely not know what a toad was he would know she was not lying about the hit. She remembers when she and Naruto sparred again the Toad Sannin and the beat down they got from him once he brought the Toads into play. Sarah hopes to drive the Prince into a blind rage so he would kill her in his beating and not try and break her. The Prince growls before charging in again and smashes Sarah into the ground with another destructive punch to the head. Sarah nearly blacks out as her head hits the ground. Shaking her head clear Sarah tries to kick the Prince only for him to catch her foot.
"I did not say you could fight back," the Prince shouts as he picks her up by the foot before slamming her back down again and again for a minute. By the time he lets go of her Sarah could feel her entire right arm destroyed. While it was still on her body she could not move or use it. Blood leak out from her mouth as she gasps for breath. She was not sure of how many of her ribs the Prince had broken or if they had puncture a lung. She guesses at least one as it was hard to breathe and it heart every time she took a breath of air. "Now tell me why do you fight back? You can see I am far stronger then you are. You can be this powerful but you must give into the infection first."
Sarah closes her eyes painfully as she lays there on the ground. She knew he was telling the truth about how she would be far stronger but she also knew what would happen if she did. "I do not want the power if it means leaving those I love." Sarah says biting back the pain as she stands up to face the Prince. Her eyes showed she would not bow to him. "I will never betray my family or friends by taking the power. So many people already have work hard to find a cure and I will not make the progress they have done be for nothing. So take your power and shove it."
The Prince stares at her trying to understand how she could fight back so much least of all even stand. He did his best to put her in so much pain the only way to even breathe or to speak was to let the infection take over. But before him stood Sarah, who was on her last leg not that he knew that, who did not seem to back down. "Then I will have to beat it into you that you will be better with the Swarm then with the humans who will only use you or kill you."
"Naruto would never let that happen," Sarah says as she readies her body for more pain.
"He fears you and only keeps you close to make sure you do not run to me. You are a tool for him to use," The Prince shouts at her trying to break her, a different way.
"By the void do you ever stop talking," a voice rings over the area. Both turn to see Tosh, Naruto and Zeratul all walking towards them. Sarah let out a breath seeing Naruto and Tosh both in the mental plane. While she had never seen Zeratul fight she knew he could hold his own against the Prince if he need to. "Sorry for taking so long Sarah. Someone did not want me to know about this."
Sarah nods her head softly as she does her best to remain standing. Closing her eyes she relaxes only to hear swooshing sound and someone pick her up softly. Opening her eyes Sarah was shock to be looking into the green eyes of Zeratul. The Prince seeing Zeratul pick up his prize, lashes out only to find Tosh blocking the attack with his forearm with a loud cracking sound telling everyone the bone was broken. Zeratul leaps back with Tosh to get away from the Prince. The prince moves to follow only to find Naruto crouching in front of him arm stretch out before him pointing at his gut. Looking down the Prince eyes widen seeing that Naruto hand was in a fist planted right in his gut. Blinking once the Prince finds himself crashing into his throne.
"How," the Prince asks as he stands up to see Zeratul join his student with Tosh standing Guard over Sarah. Zeratul shifts so his cloak falls off his body showing the number of scares that the cloak hid on his body. "Does not matter I will kill you three and make her my queen."
"You are right Zeratul he never stops speaking does he," Naruto says as he falls into the Dark Templar hand to hand combat stance alongside Zeratul, who also falls into the stance as well. The Prince roars before charging at Tosh, full speed, behind Naruto and Zeratul hoping to take out the unknown first. Both Naruto and Zeratul Blink blocking the Prince's path in a cloud of smoke. The Prince rolls to the side as both punch and kick at him. The Prince leaps back after his roll throwing Psionic Storms at the two. Both run around the storm, using the storm as another shield for Sarah forcing the Prince to defend himself again.
As the three traded blows the Prince soon found himself replaying the fight he had with the two. It dawn on him that he got lucky in both fights as he was only fighting one of the, and not both at the same time. Ducking under a punch the Prince throws two punches of his own at Naruto making him block with his left leg and right hand. Using the Prince fist in his hand, Naruto uses it as a pivot point to spin his body to lash out with a kick to the Prince's head only to be thrown off. Landing on his Hands Naruto flips onto his feet before falling back wards at the knees to block a claw hand to the heart and head. Placing a hand on the ground Naruto kicks up as Zeratul grabs the Prince's wing holding him in place before wrapping a leg around his waist. The prince head snaps back from the kick before he finds Zeratul trying to rip his wings out.
Releasing all of his Psionic, the Prince throws Zeratul off. Zeratul lands in a backwards roll come out holding up part of the Prince's left wing before dropping it on the ground. Everyone watch as the bleed quickly stop before the wing grew back from the point it was destroyed. Naruto does not wait as he leaps to his feet charging in again releasing several quick jabs and kicks before making a grab at the Prince's head to slam his knee into. The everyone hears a crunching sound only this time the Prince cries out in pain from his nose being broken. Using his wings the Prince makes some room as he screams out in anger. "You will pay for this human. I will kill you slowly when I find you again. I will make you watch as I burn your home and family to the ground with my Queen at my side."
"You will not set foot near my family," Naruto says as an orange shroud begins to cover him. The shroud begins to take the form of a fox with three tails waving behind him. Naruto picks up one foot before moving to take a step forward towards the Prince only to vanish from site. The Prince blinks only to find Naruto in front of him punching him in the gut with a steel bending upper cut. For what seem like hours nothing happens before the Prince opens his mouth and goes flying into the air vanishing.
Both Naruto and Zeratul remain on guard for a few minutes before relaxing. Sarah watches as they talk to one other in Khalani about something before Zeratul nods his head to them and vanishes. Tosh stands up and looks at them. "I will see you later Brother, Sister." He tells them before vanishing. Naruto walks over to her and smiles as he kneels down in front of her.
"Sorry for taking so long. But you know the Hero always comes late," He says with a fox like grin making Sarah return it with a small pain filled smile. Naruto touches his forehead to her and closes his eyes. "I feel it is time for us to wake up."
"Are you safe," Sarah asks using her good arm to hold onto her lover. Naruto nods his head softly against hers.
"I am in the infirmary right now. I seem to have grown some chains out of my arm and pass out from my chakra nearly being drain by them. I am not sure if from summoning them or using them. But we can talk more later after we both are wake up." Naruto tells her before sending her back to her real body.
As the note says I'm back baby and it's time to bring this all back around. I have left this for too long and I plan on finishing this. Next chapter I am going to be doing another village chapter to show what going on there. When we get back to the gang I am going to have them doing a prison break out. Updates will be far and wide. With this chapter I had plans on to write more I do not think it will work as I already have two fights going on.
Until next time
Thee Fallen
