This is a First/teaser Chapter to something i was thinking about writing. ill continue it depending on the responce/reviews i get from the readers. It's a Starcraft/naruto Xover ( ie the naruto people in the starcraft universe) set somewhere after brood war, so expect a mix of the old and new units as it goes along (Yay! for Starcraft II, its about time!). Its also my first story so constructive critisim is welcomed. Also evryone in this will be much older say early twenties.
Disclaimer: I do not own Starcraft or Naruto, if i did own starcraft i would used the money to buy naruto and make changes.
He stood the as motionless as humanly possible while the machine arms moved around him. He hated this room, it scared him shitless. Hordes of zerglings, going toe to toe with protoss warriors, even the odd rebel terran was not a problem. Standing in the barrack's Armor bay having his NBC suit put on or removed? Well let's just say he was going to need a stiff drink after this. When the arms retracted pulling away the last pieces of armor naruto let out the breath he didn't know he was holding. The door behind him opened and walked out with fair haste. Grabbing a towel, he headed for the shower. Hot cascading water did wonders for his nerves. After drying himself and getting dress he decide to make his way towards the mess hall, that stiff drink was still in order.
The mess hall was the gathering place for all the volunteer soldiers to relax and socialize, the Re-socs tended to keep to them selves. Naruto wandered in hoping to see some of his friends, "Took you long enough to get out here!" shouted a young man with red triangle under his eyes. Sure enough sakura, kiba, tenten, lee and chouji were all gathered at one table. He smiled pulling up a chair; the six of them and a couple others had all gone through basic together. He, kiba, tenten and lee had all become marines after basic, chouji had become a firebat and sakura went on to the medic corp.
"Yeah yeah, you know what the armor bay does to me," he grinned at the dark haired boy "Hey slide me one of those." A brown bottle went sliding down the table stopping in front of naruto. He grabbed it and twisted off the top. Tenten reached out her bottle and clinked it against naruto's, "here's to another completed patrol."
"Hah, another boring patrol," kiba chuckled raising his own. Multiple bottles were raised. "Agreed," everyone chimed in unison and took a swig.
"So did you guys hear about or next deployment?" Tenten prompted.
"New deployment?" Lee raised an eyebrow at her, "We're getting shipped out?" She nodded at him.
"Bout damn time!" crowed naruto, "I was getting so sick of Tarsonis, where they sending us too?"
Tenten took another sip of her drink. "Some nowhere planet called Konoha."
"Hey Konohas not nowhere, I'm from there!" naruto shouted now standing up. Lee put a hand on his shoulder try to calm him down, "Easy naruto, she didn't mean anything by it."
Tenten began to speak again "Anyway, the whole platoon is getting shipped there to back-up a group of ghosts hunting down some rebellion commander. I guess its high priority cause there sending a squadron to escort us."
Sakura perked up at that, "A squadron? Which one?"
Tenten smiled slyly back at her, "Wouldn't you like to know pinky?"
"Yes, now tell me!" Sakura said irritably.
"Well since you asked so nicely" Tenten's smile only grew, "Bishop Squadron."
"Sasuke-kun!" shouted the pink head.
"Sasuke and Shino's squadron?" Kiba asked in shock. "The very one." Tenten quipped as she brought her bottle to her lips, smirking at the now swooning medic.
"Mmuhm, mwhen do we leave?" having finally emptied his plate Chouji joined the conversation.
"Tomorrow at dusk," chimed the brunette, "the barracks and command center will both be lifting off. Once we hit orbit the squadron will meet up with us and then we jump to light speed till we reach konoha." Naruto leapt up cheering, "Hell ya! I get to see home again!"
He jerked his vulture violently to the left to avoid another tree. They were chasing a dominion spy through one of the forests on Konoha. "Troublesome bike, can't it go any faster?" The throttle was wide open and he wasn't closing on their target at all. He looked over at his partner in the chase. She was parallel with him, not able to close the gap ether.
The pig –tailed blonde bashed her fist against the bike, "Go faster damn it!"
Shikamaru frowned slightly, "Calm down Temari. Hitting it won't make it go faster."
The target suddenly veered to the right, leaving the forest for a large grassy field. Shikamaru's eyes narrowed slightly behind his goggles, he suddenly easy off throttle and reached down toward the engine.
Temari shot him a confused look and shouted, "What are you doing? She's going to get away."
He smirked at her and gripped a control circuit, "Trust me. Slow down and pull out the DTC-281 controller, then gun it!" He yanked it off and slammed down his throttle control. Temari watched in shock as his vulture's engine screamed and pulled away at incredible speed, then quickly followed his advice and shot off after him.
A red light started blinking on his suit. Shifting slightly in his hiding spot he brought his canister rifle into line. Through the scope he spotted them, three rebel marines, just entering his range. A smug smile crossed his face as he whispered to himself, "Never know what hit them."
Pang!
Pang!
Pang!
They fell like dominos. He was about to activate his cloak and change positions when his communicator started beeping. He gazed down at the screen as text began to appear. New orders. Proceed to location 217.85 by 194.01 then secure a landing zone and await reinforcements from arriving 131st infantry platoon.
"Finally!"
He activated his cloak and started in the direction of his rendezvous point.
"Bishop One calling Antiga Prime orbital control over." A set of onyx eyes gazed out the cockpit window towards the planet below. The moment of silence left him time to reflect on his newest assignment. Tarsonis to meet up with second company of the 131st infantry then escort them to Konoha. Konoha, now that was a planet he hadn't been to in a long time.
"Bishop one this Antiga prime orbital control, you have been cleared to depart Antiga space and proceed to hyperspace over." He pressed the comm. switch back on with his thumb, "Roger that control, Bishop Squadron now departing."
He flicked over the channel to talk to the rest of his squad. "Bishop One to all ships, we've been cleared to depart. Half throttle until we exit the gravity well, then initiate hyper space jump to tarsonis over." Acknowledgements came back over the radio as sasuke began to increase speed.
A monotone voice came over the radio, "Bishop Three to Bishop One over." Sasuke continued to push buttons and turn dials on the ship control panels as he responded calmly, "Go ahead Shino."
"We are meeting up with the 131st's second company." The raven haired man frowned slightly but didn't stop his work, "I'm aware of that." There was silence over the radio for a moment before shino's voice reappeared. "Are you going to tell her?"
Sasuke stopped what he was doing and leaned back in his seat, titling his head back to look out the top of his canopy. Sakura. That wasn't a conversation he was looking forward too. "I don't know Shino. It was a situation I was kinda hoping to avoid for now."
"You will have to tell her eventually." Shino replied. Sasuke grimaced, "I know shino, I know."
He switched his radio back to broadcast. "All units we'll reach the end of the planets field in 30 seconds get ready to jump and see you on the other side."
He locked into his harness, checked his instruments one last time, and then watched as the rest of his squad began to jump away. He glanced at the pilot on his left; she blew him a kiss before disappearing in a flash of light. Sasuke shook his head; he had an eight hour hyperspace flight before tarsonis, he would set his autopilot once he jumped then take a nap, he would every minute of it once he arrived. A green light on the ship's panel started blinking showing the hyper drive was ready. He pushed the button and in a flash of light was gone.
Well tell me what you think, i know not everyone showed up but they will eventually.
