Chapter 7: A New Adventure

"She completed the focus you have given her, now let her go!" Snow yelled as he approached the Fal'Cie. Naruto just stared at the Fal'Cie with a blinking expression. This was the all mighty Fal'Cie it just looked like some kind of machine. He was expecting something a little more, I don't know scary looking. Naruto looked back to Snow who was now on his knees begging the Fal'Cie to return Sarah to him. It hurt to see his friend like this.

"I'll be your l'Cie instead!" He yelled as Naruto just shut his eyes in frustration. He stayed like this for a few seconds till he reopened his eyes and glared at the machine. His grip on Jubei tighten as he lunged forward. He was surprised when he noticed lightning attacking as well. Their swords connected as sparks flew. They kept striking and striking. Naruto was angry, saddened, but most of all frustrated with himself. He stopped striking when he noticed lightning was knocked back a bit. Naruto was going check on her, but stopped when he noticed the Fal'ce began to move as a claw like appendage lashed out at him which caused him to block.

He was surprised however by the sheer force of the attack as he proceed to do a backflip in order to put some distance between him and the thing. "What's happening?" Naruto questioned as he stared at the thing that slowly began to transform.

Lightning stood back up and glared at snow. "You can go on begging for all I care. Do you honestly think this thing gives a damn what we want." She said as she grabbed ahold of Snow and pulled him close so they were almost touching noses. "If you truly cared about my sister then help me kill the thing that took her from us. I may not like you, but Sarah loved you and I will respect that." She stated as she then roughly pushed him away which caused him to stumble back.

"What do you think you're doing we can't fight that?" Sazh commented from the side as it was Naruto who spoke up this time.

"This thing is the reason the purge was started, and its people who are dying. Can you truly tell me not one ounce of your being wants revenge?" Naruto questioned as he stared Sazh in the eyes. Sazh looked away for a second then mumbled to himself.

"Dajh…" He said under his breath as he glared at the Fal'Cie. Suddenly he pulled out his guns as he stood by the threes side. "Screw it I'm in…no regrets." Naruto smiled from seeing this then looked over to Lebreau who already had Crescent Rose implanted in the ground and sent Naruto a wink which caused him to smile from seeing her already ready for the fight. Then he finally looked over to the two kids as he watch Vanille hold on to a shaking hope. She looked up just in time to see him looking and sent him a nod.

Just then there was a loud screech as they all looked back towards the Fal'Cie who seemed to finally be done transforming. "Plan of action?" Sazh questioned as he looked around to see all of them looking at the Fal'Cie in curiosity.

"The blue crystal looking thing." Naruto commented as he pointed Jubei towards it. "That may be a weak spot." Naruto commented as all the others nodded.

"What do we do about the floating arms?" Snow questioned as he dodged one that had lashed out at him.

"I'll handle the arms you guys focus on the body." Naruto commented as he slashed at the arm with Jubei then jumped to the side as it pulsed and sent a small wave towards Naruto who cut into it with his swords causing it to disperse.

"Lebreau potion!" Naruto yelled when he spotted Snow get hit by the other arm and he seemed to be having a hard time recovering.

"Got it!" She yelled as she throw it to snow who caught it and drank it.

"Thanks," he stated as he began attacking the other arm while Sazh, Lightning, and Lebreau stayed focus on the main body.

Seeing as everyone seemed distracted Naruto made a resengan as he rammed it into the arm he was attacking which caused it to disappear. Seeing as that arm was dealt with. He ran over to snow who seemed to be having trouble with the other arm as they attacked it together.

"Snow when it crashes down make sure you jump back out of the range of the pulse." Naruto commented from his experience with the last one. And they did just that as not even a second later it came crashing down. "Now!" Naruto yelled as he slammed both swords into the arm while Snow punched it as hard as he could. 'That's both of them.' Naruto commented in thought as he turned back to look at the main body.

"The arms are down!" Naruto yelled as they all nodded to him and continued attacking the main body that oddly seemed like it was charging something up, but he ignored that for now as they all attacked the Fal'Cie as much as they could.

Naruto widened his eyes however as he noticed the two arms suddenly regenerate. He panic seeing as no one else noticed they had returned and the arms were heading for Lebreau and Lightning both. Thinking quickly he thought in his mind. 'Shadow clone Jutsu' Naruto stated in thought and another Naruto appeared beside him. Already knowing what to do they both created a resangan and each ran towards an arm and slammed it into the metal contraption. Which caused the arms to recoil. Lebreau and lightning both widened their eyes from the sudden grinding noises taking place behind them. Naruto just looked at the two and stated.

"I'll take care of these you guys worry about the main body." He stated as he continued to push his rasengan into it. The arms fought back as they began to spin incredibly fast which surprised Naruto because it was able to disperse his resangan. That shouldn't be possible. He didn't have much time to think as he rolled away from seeing as it pulsed once again.

"Naruto." He heard as he turned his to Lebreau slashing at the arm as well and she was able to keep her distance just fine as she fired at the arm each time it would come down to attack which meant she would damage it and from the powerful kickback it would also get her out of the way in time. "Go help the others you would do more damage to the main body then I would anyway." She commenting as the continued to spin the overlarge weapon around like it was nothing.

"Got it." Naruto stated as he charged back toward the main body. Getting there he stabbed Jubei into the blue crystal causing the Fal'ce to sudden make a loud high pitch noise which caused everyone to cover their ears from the sheer volume. Then to add to that they all had to close their eyes as a sudden bright light overcame them.

Upon opening their eyes they found themselves floating around in complete darkness.

"Did we die?" Sazh questioned as they all saw nothing at all. Suddenly a greenish color crystal appeared in the middle of the group causing all of them to widen their eyes.

"What's going on?" Snow questioned the same question that everyone else was thinking. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the greenish crystal. He had a really bad feeling about this all of a sudden.

He blinked as energy randomly shot out of the crystal covering the whole area in a greenish tint. His ears recoiled as sudden church bells started ringing. Yeah something extremely bad was about to happen when church bells start ringing in darkness like this. That was just extremely off putting. Though he heard something else besides the church bells. He could hear an odd sound like metal rubbing against itself.

"Dear Kami…" Naruto said slowly as he looked up towards where the sound was coming from. Above them there was this being that was staring down at them. Looking closer he noticed the resemblance between the thing they were attacking and this new being. Was this its true form? The thought of it terrified Naruto for some reason. Was there true gods in this world? He had heard people like Pein claim to be a god in his world. Though the feeling he got when looking at Pein was anger. This was a completely different feeling to Naruto he couldn't place it. It was the same feeling he had when Madara showed up for the first time in the war. Was he scared? Yes that must be the feeling, he feared it. Just one look at this being hovering above them gave him the feeling that he was merely an ant in comparison to the grand scheme of things. That this being now had all of their lives in the palm of its hands. That thought truly terrified Naruto.

Suddenly green chains shot out from behind it as they wrapped around all of them. They all struggled to be freed, but to no avail. Naruto didn't though he just continued to stare straight at the being with wide eyes. He watch every single movement the being made. He watched as it surveyed them watching them all struggle as if it amused the being. Then its eyes fell on Naruto as it seemed to narrow his eyes toward Naruto who looked the being straight in the eyes for the first time. The being almost seemed to smile from seeing this as it slowly raised its hand as white energy shot from it and slammed into Naruto's stomach. Which caused him to grunt from the impact. This continued to happen to everyone else as the white energy slammed into everyone else in different places. Till suddenly the being looked straight at Naruto one last time as it allowed the chains to disappear and disappear from view. Then all Naruto saw was darkness.

Naruto witness bits and pieces of what seemed to be a creature attack a city of sorts and then a ton of liquid arms shooting out of something and that's all he saw was it all a dream?

"SARAH!" That's what woke Naruto from his unconscious state. Opening his eyes he saw blue everything was blue the walls, sky, and ground. That was weird, turning his head he saw that everyone seemed to have just woke up as well seeing as they all seemed to be struggling to get up.

"What is this?" Lebreau questioned as she looked around and saw all the crystals around she had never seen anything like it in her whole life.

"I think this is Lake Bresha?" Sazh stated as he stood up and started looking around as well. It seemed lightning agreed with him as she nodded to herself.

"We fell from up there." Lightning pointed as she sighed to herself. 'What should I do now…Sarah?' She thought to herself as she stared at the ground in thought.

"But how did the lake turn to crystal?" Lebreau questioned as she surveyed the lake. 'Better question how did everything turn to crystal?' she thought to herself as she entered a thinking pose.

"What in the world could have been the cause of this?" Snow said to himself as he looked around the area. "And how did we possibly end up here?" Snow questioned as everyone seemed to be confused themselves to answer his question.

"We're alive. How?" Vanille questioned as she fell to her knees. She could have sworn they were going to die there.

"Sarah!" Snow yelled as everyone looked towards him wondering what he was yelling about. "No one survives a fall from that high not without a miracle. Sarah saved us!" He shouted as he clenched his fist. Lightning was mad how dare he speak her name.

"Sarah? Listen. It's all your fault this happened in the first place." Lightning commented as Naruto who had been quiet that whole time finally spoke up.

"I hate to be the one to burst your bubble snow, but Sarah was not the one that saved us." Naruto commented as Snow looked at Naruto in confusion. "The Fal'Cie is the one that put us here. I don't know its reasons, but I know it has a plan in mind for us." Naruto slowly raised up his shirt as he started his next sentence. "That's why it turned us into…" He was interrupted by one of the Cie'th sneaking up from behind Hope. Seeing this Snow quickly ran over and pushed hope out of the way as he blocked its attack. Suddenly everyone watched as Snow raised his right hand as ice magic surrounded it and he punch the Cie'th in the gut which kill it instantly. After he had done that he stared at his hand in wonder. 'Did I just use magic?' he asked himself in thought.

"Like I was saying we are all l'cie now." Naruto commented as he raised up his shirt enough for everyone to see his mark. Hope suddenly stood up as he started yelling.

"So you used the power of the l'cie! That Fal'Cie cursed us." Hope yelled in desperation. Naruto looked at Hope with a sad frown. A kid like this shouldn't be pulled into something like this. Turning his head he noticed a few more Cie'th heading towards him. He unsheathed Jubei as he turned to go face them. 'Well I guess I better make the best out of this curse.' Naruto commented in thought as he channeled the new energy he felt in his system. He noticed that wind surrounded his hands then it slowly started to move up his blades till they completely covered. 'This could be fun.' Naruto thought to himself as he smiled down at Jubei.

Looking back up towards the two Cie'th he brought down one of his blades as a fast gust of wind shot off of the blade and hit the creature which caused it to stumble back a bit. Grinning to himself he charge towards the two as he continued to shot off several more blast of wind. Coming closer he ducked under one of their swings as he swung his shorter blade straight up cutting off its arm. Acting quickly he spun his body around and cut the Cie'th in half with the longer blade.

Sensing an attack heading toward him, he side stepped the Cie'th large arm that swung down at him. Looking at the place he just was he noticed the large dent in the ground. Naruto proceed to stomp on the arm causing it to crash deeper into the ground which stopped the Cie'ths movements. Finally he swung his blade decapitating the Cie'th.

Stepping off of the Cie'ths arm he looked towards the others who were all just finishing off their own battles. They all had different abilities, but if one thing was constant was that they were all L'cie and that was a fact.

"So we really are L'cie." Snow commented as they all finished up. Everyone nodded their heads to that while looking towards the ground.

"Looks like it." Sazh commented as he looked down at his chest to see that the mark sitting deep center of his chest.

"You too?" Snow questioned Vanille who nodded her head and lifted up her skirt to show them that it was on her upper thigh.

Naruto was right there staring at it in a second. 'It looks different from ours. Why?' He said in thought. "NARUTO!" He heard Lebreau yell as he was suddenly pulled out from underneath Vanille's skirt.

"What I was just looking I swear." Naruto defended as he raised his hands. He looked over to Vanille to see she had a small blush adoring her face.

"Yeah we could clearly see that." Lebreau stated as she glared down at Naruto who after she let him go he fell on his ass.

"I swear I really was just looking at her mark." Naruto defend once again, but to no avail as Lebreau stomped off mumbling something about perverted idiotic boyfriends. Naruto looked over to Lightning with pleading eyes. Surely she believed him. Lightning just glared at him for a second then turned her head with a huff.

Naruto started crying anime tears as he thought to himself. 'Why are they so angry all I was doing was inspecting her mark!' Naruto cried out in thought. Everyone else just simply ignored him while they continued talking.

"So it seem we are L'cie to the last." Lightning commented as she watched hope fall to the ground the middle of them.

"Why me?" He questioned as he stared helplessly towards the ground. He suddenly looked up as he glared at Naruto who had just stood up and walked over to the group. "I don't even know you!" He yelled as his eyes began to shift to Lighnitng, Sazh, Snow, and Lebreau. "But you had to go an attack that thing!" He yelled as he looked back towards the ground. "Just leave me alone!...please. It's you people's fault that my…You could have…" He suddenly stood up as he glared at snow. "All of this is your and Sarah's fault!" He yelled out as Snow bucked up towards him.

"Watch it boy!" Snow said as Hope fell to his butt and crawled back till he hit someone's legs. Looking up he noticed it was Lightning as she rolled her eyes which as him to crawl away again and put himself in the fetal position.

"Okay everyone calm down." Naruto stated as he walked in front of Hope in order to calm them down. They needed to work to together now. They were in this together. Vanille walked past him as she gave him a smile and a nod that he returned. Then she gentle grabbed Hope as she turned him towards herself. "Everything is going to be alright you'll see." She encouraged as Hope nodded slowly.

"Yeah I'm sorry kid. I let my anger get the best of me." Snow apologized as he rubbed the back of his head.

"We need to work together guys." Naruto stated as he looked everyone in the eyes they all gave him nods of understanding.

"Well I guess we better investigate." Lightning commented as she turned and started walking in a random direction.

"Let's go." Vanille stated with a smile as she dragged a reluctant Hope with her. That seemed to be everyones cue as they all started to follow after her and Lightning leaving Naruto by himself.

"I can't contact Kara." Naruto said to himself as he looked down at the L'cie mark that was over his seal. He could only hope that she was okay in there. Sighing to himself he turned to look towards the others that all stopped to wait for him to catch up. He smiled a little when he saw Vanille jumping up and down waving at him to hurry. Jogging towards them he started a brand new adventure.
