Novacane for the pain
|
Chapter 7: Desperation A sickening splutter came from the nearby room and the mere sound of it caused Mr Popo to sprint to the bedside of the small Namekian who made it. Dende’s skin colour had drastically faded in the last week and he had been confined to his bed the entire time. He could no longer walk or feed himself and he had lost the ability to speak. Despite all of that, the situation was harder on Mr Popo. He and Dende had lived in isolation for the past two thousand years, comforted each other through a near apocalypse and watched as everything they had known and loved was destroyed and rebuilt in a completely different way. Now, as Dende’s life faded in front of his eyes, Mr Popo could only think back to the terrified child that had come to replace Kami all that time ago. He remembered how he would stand at the edge of the lookout, overwhelmed at the size of the planet that he was charged with taking care of. Every now and then, Mr Popo expected to see that little boy come running into the room, eager to ask a question about his duties. However, he knew that it wouldn’t happen. Dende had ceased being that naïve child years before and had taken on a much more sorrowful outlook. Despite everything that he had done for the planet in the wake of Broly’s destruction, Dende saw himself as nothing more than a failure. He had often lamented how he wasn’t able to protect the planet and that everything was his fault. Mr Popo never believed a word of it but he had never been able to convince Dende of this. Heartbroken, Mr Popo made his way over to the bed and took the seat that had been his vigil. He held Dende’s wrinkled hand and squeezed it, hoping for a response. All that he could feel was a weak pulse and it seemed that Dende could no longer recognise the presence of another person. Realising that they may be his last words to him, Mr Popo edged closer to his stricken master. He tried his best to fight back the tears in his eyes, but the cracking of his voice betrayed him. “Hang on in there Dende” he sobbed. “They still haven’t summoned the dragon, you need to stay alive. It’s time for you to show that you are not the failure you say you are. Please Dende, can you just hang on?” A few seconds after he finished speaking, Mr Popo felt the faintest amount of pressure as the frail green hands squeezed back as hard as they could. “As easy as it was to repair ” Tello shouted, looking to frighten the gathered forces. “I am quite annoyed at how much damage you were able to inflict upon me. I will make you regret that by causing you the most pain that you have ever felt in your miserable and insignificant life.” In the blink of an eye, Tello had zoomed in front of Kakashi. Even with his Sharingan, he hadn’t been able to track his movements at all. That one action displayed the difference in their powers and Kakashi knew that he was completely outmatched. Before he could even move, Tello struck Kakashi in the stomach. The hit had been so casual, a mere flick of the wrist that was nothing more than a glancing blow. However, it caused Kakashi to fly metres backwards and land in a heap on the ground. The damage to his body was intense and he could barely stand up again. “I have just about one more shot with the Mangekyo” Kakashi thought, as he just about struggled to his feet. “If I can time it right, I might be able to take him out.” Jiraiya then moved in front of Kakashi, protecting him from the view of Tello. He stared down the enemy with no fear, despite the enormous disadvantage he was at. “Oh look, the army’s general has come to face me,” Tello snorted, as he flicked his blonde hair out of his eyes. “Obviously, you are in some kind of hurry to die. Why else would you stupidly stand before me like this?” Jiraiya smirked at the taunts, which caused even more confusion among the nearby Shinobi. “I bet I’m not the only captain to confront the enemy head on” Jiraiya began, while thinking of the other Kage who had no doubt entered the fray on their respective battlefields. “I’m not sure why we do it, maybe we’re just idiots.” “Maybe, we enjoy the fight too much” Ay said, while charging up a shroud of electricity around him as he prepared to attack the warrior on his battlefield. “Maybe we’re too eager to die for our comrades” Gaara said, as he rode his sand into the air to join the battle. “Maybe we know that the next generation can handle things for us” Onoki declared, as he powered up an attack. “Maybe, we feel we have some sort of duty to act” Mei laughed, as she finished making her hand signs. “Whatever it is” Jiraiya continued, “There’s one thing that remains constant.” “Which is?” Tello asked enjoying the passionate speech that Jiraiya was giving him. “We are Shinobi” Jiraiya roared, “And we will not stop fighting until our last breath!” Naruto glanced to the side and, to his horror, he saw the bodies of his teammates scattered around him. He couldn’t tell if they were dead or if Sasuke had just knocked them out. Whichever it was, just the sight was enough to cause Naruto to feel the rise of the Nine Tails power. He did his best to contain it, as he knew the consequences of letting the beast take over. “I won’t ask you again” Sasuke spat, as he dug the sword a little deeper into Naruto’s neck. He could feel a small amount of blood trickle down onto his collar and a small amount of fear came over him. For the first time, he believed that Sasuke might kill him. “We need this Sasuke, the whole world is in danger” Naruto screamed desperately. “Like I care about your petty problems” Sasuke replied. “I have my own goals and they have nothing to do with some war you have going on.” “It’s pointless Sasuke!” Naruto yelled back. “You need the other six balls along with it for it to be any use. You have nothing to gain out of this!” “The other six?” Sasuke asked, feigning confusion. “Oh, you mean these?” Sasuke reached to a small black sack that he had attached to his belt and he held it aloft. Six small lumps in the fabric were clearly visible, which indicated one thing. “How did he get all of the other Dragon Balls?” Naruto wondered, suddenly scared for the other teams. However, he didn’t have long to dwell on it as a vacuum of air smashed into Naruto’s stomach and forced both him and Sasuke to fly backwards. The attack had obviously caught Sasuke off guard too, as he dropped the valuable Dragon Balls on the ground. Neji had already made his move at this point and he picked up all seven Dragon Balls and placed Naruto behind him. “I was waiting for him to unclip those from his belt. Now, take these” Neji demanded, as he forced the small orange orbs into Naruto’s arms. “I’ll hold off Sasuke, you need to make that wish.” “Wait, Neji I-“ Naruto began, before being cut off. “Just do it!” Neji shouted back, as Sasuke got to his feat. Naruto ran a few metres back and placed the balls on the ground in front of him. To his horror, they did nothing but emit a slight orange glow. “Oh no you don’t!” Sasuke cried, as he attempted to jump over Neji and towards Naruto. Neji had other ideas and used his Rotation to force Sasuke backwards. “Why go over there, when your main challenge is here?” Neji asked, showing a cocky side that he usually tried to repress. “Fine, but I won’t bother sparing you like I did the rest” Sasuke rasped, as he quickly picked up his katana from the ground. “You are in my way when I’m so close to my objective, I can’t afford to play nice.” With his Sharingan active and his blood running high, Sasuke charged at Neji. As they fought a vicious battle, Naruto stared hopelessly at the lifeless balls in front of him. They weren’t supposed to be granting the wish, so the teams were never told what to do. He placed his arms in front of him and started saying whatever came to his head. “I demand that you grant my wish!” he cried, which brought no reaction whatsoever. “Please grant my wish? I beg you to grant my wish?” He went on for another two minutes trying different combinations of words, even bowing at one point, but it was to no avail. This was made even worse by the fact that Neji was crying out in pain as he struggled to contain Sasuke. “What do I do?” Naruto screamed out, not expecting an answer. “You’re not saying it right,” a voice said in Naruto’s head. It was a voice Naruto had never heard before and it was enough to cause him to jump. “Who the hell are you?” Naruto called out, while looking all around him. “Where are you? How are you doing this?” “Too many questions kid” the voice called back. “We don’t have time for this. All I’ll tell you is that you have to say is these words: Eternal Dragon, by your name I summon you forth Shenron.” Naruto was sceptical about trusting the words of a strange voice inside his head. However, with time running out he had no other choice. “Ok, so it was Eternal Dragon” Naruto began, trying hard to remember what he had been told just ten seconds before. “By your name I summon you forth.” It was at this point that Naruto froze. What was the name he had to say again? “Say Shenron!” the now frustrated voice screamed. “Shenron!” Naruto cried, while staring intently at the balls. Suddenly, they began glowing even brighter than before, bright enough to almost blind him. The sky immediately turned as black as night and a swirl of light shot up from the pile of Dragon Balls. A loud whooshing noise filled the air as the light screamed upwards into the sky. Eventually, the light spread out across the sky and formed the shape of a dragon. After another couple of seconds, the light materialised into a green beast. The deep red eyes of the dragon shone menacingly and stared right at a terrified Naruto. Inside of him, the Nine Tails growled at the appearance of this new beast. It seemed that, for the first time, the Demon Fox had encountered something with power that surpassed it’s own. “State your wish” the dragon bellowed, it’s deep voice echoing across the entire area. “What do I say?” Naruto asked, suddenly trusting the voice in his head. As Naruto spoke with this voice, Sasuke and Neji stared at the dragon in awe. Due to their dojutsu, they could appreciate the power before them much more than Naruto. “All that chakra” Neji gasped, stunned at the size and nature of it. “I can’t even describe what it’s like, it has no resemblance to any kind of chakra I’ve ever seen before.” Sasuke was then drawn to Naruto and he noticed that his lips were moving. He realised that he must have been making a wish, which caused him to take action. In one swift attack, he broke free of Neji’s confinements and ran towards Naruto and the dragon. Before he could get there, the light in Shenron’s eyes noticeably disappeared. The dragon remained silent for a few seconds, before exploding in a mass of green light. The Dragon Balls turned to stone and Naruto looked around desperately. “It didn’t work?” he asked, getting no reply from the voice in his head. He knew that he said the right words for the wish, so what happened? “You broke it?” Sasuke asked, furious at his former teammate. “Once again Naruto, you stand in the way of my goals. Except this time, you went too far. Now, I have no chance of ever seeing them again. Naruto, this is all your fault!” With pain in his eyes and a Chidori glowing from his hand, Sasuke attacked a defenceless Naruto. Naruto didn’t have time to react and Neji was too far away to help. Yet, before the Chidori could connect Sasuke was stopped. A hand covered by a white glove grabbed Sasuke’s wrist and the Chidori dispersed instantly. Sasuke stared at the hand for a second and then brought his eyes up a muscular arm and past a sleeveless blue shirt. He then stared into a pair of cold, black eyes that were not unlike Sasuke’s. The man then spoke, his deep voice twisted into a mocking tone that seemed so natural. “Well, this is an interesting welcome” he said dryly, as he gripped Sasuke’s wrist even tighter. A/N: Before anyone says anything, any inconsistencies you may have noticed about the Dragon Balls and their use will be explained in the next chapter. |

Novacane for the pain

Chapter 8: The Saviours Arrive Sasuke desperately tried to pull his arm away from the man’s right grip but his efforts were in vain. It was like being caught in a vice and no matter how much he tried, he knew that sheer force wouldn’t help him. “Fine, if that’s the way you want to play it” Sasuke grinned, before adapting a more serious face. “Chidori Stream!” Waves of electricity shot out of Sasuke’s body and completely covered his opponent. Sasuke laughed wildly as he waited for the inevitable scream of pain and for his chance to break free. However, such an opportunity never came and the man seemed rather indifferent about Sasuke’s attack. “That tickled slightly,” he mocked, before clamping down on Sasuke’s hand further. The young Uchiha screamed out in pain and begged his captor to stop. “Vegeta!” another voice called out. “We’re not here to pick fights with the people that we’re supposed to be helping. Let him go, we’re wasting time here.” Vegeta shrugged and casually threw his victim towards the nearby trees. Sasuke yelled out in pain and lay slumped on the floor. The sheer ease with which he had been dealt with was alarming and let him know that these guys were not to be messed with. “So, you’re the guys?” Naruto stammered, unsure if they had successfully resurrected their fighters of if the enemy had found them. “We sure are” the man in the orange gi replied, giving a reassuring thumbs up. “I’ll introduce you to every one!” The next minute or so was spent making introductions, as the Z fighters spoke with Naruto and Neji, the first Shinobi that they had ever seen. “What happened to the Dragon then?” Neji asked, curious about the exact mechanisms behind the mythical objects. “Does it do that every time?” Everyone bar Naruto shifted uncomfortably at the question as they came to terms with what the Dragon’s disintegration meant. “The Dragons dead” Piccolo sighed, as he stared up into the sky. “That means that Dende is gone as well.” A moment of silence followed Piccolo’s statement, as the team gave their last respects to the little Namekian that had saved them in their time of need. Predictably, this silence was broken by an annoyed Vegeta. “Something’s wrong here” he growled, as he stared at his hands in disgust. “I should be-“ Without any warning, Vegeta let out a tremendous roar and was covered in a white aura. The earth around him was torn up and a giant gust of wind knocked the two Shinobi to the ground. Neji activated his Byakugan and let out a terrified yell. “What is this?” he asked, not expecting to get an answer. “I can’t even describe what I’m seeing right now! It’s not quite chakra but it has similar properties and he has no chakra paths anywhere on his body. The only thing I know for sure is that, whatever he is outputting, is enormous!” Mercifully, Vegeta eventually let up and powered back down to his normal state. If Naruto and Neji had any doubts about the fighters’ powers they had evaporated in that moment. Victory appeared to be a matter of hours away and relief spread throughout their bodies. Yet, the looks that the Z fighters gave were a concern. “Now that you mention it, I don’t feel right either” Goten said, as he clenched his fists. “I fell so much-“ “Weaker” Gohan finished, as he placed his chin between his thumb and index finger to help him think. “Why would we be-“ “Namek! I demand that you tell us what happened” Vegeta yelled, adding a sense of anger to an already tense situation. “Where has all that ki that I had just five minutes ago gone to?” “Ki?” Neji thought, picking up on Vegeta’s words. “So, that’s what it was. Our chakra is made up of both our ki and our spiritual energy, which is why it seemed a little familiar. How strange, being able to split up the two types of energy in your body in such a way.” “Dende must have been very weak when the Dragon was summoned” Piccolo began, sounding slightly unsure about his explanation. “It takes a lot of energy to revive people who have been dead as long as us. My guess is that the Dragon died before we were fully revived, meaning that most of our energy was left behind so to speak. I can’t be sure though as this is a very strange situation.” “So what, are you saying that you won’t be able to do it?” Naruto asked, having understand the basic concept of the discussion even if he didn’t get most of what was being said. “Nah, we should still be able to do it” Goku replied cheerily. “Except now, we might actually get a bit of challenge out of this!” “How can you be so casual, Kakarot?” Vegeta yelled. “We’re down to a small fraction of our power that we spent centuries trying to attain!” Goku simply shrugged his shoulders and let out another chuckle. “It’s not like we won’t have all of eternity to get it back again” he reasoned. “Besides, if we fought these guys at full power it would be over in seconds. At least now we can have an interesting battle.” Naruto and Neji’s jaws dropped at this point, as they listened to the way that their so-called saviours talked about life and death battles as if they were a game. It seemed that self-enjoyment mattered as much as victory and Neji was considering calling them out on it, although the size of Vegeta’s power made him think twice. “We can talk about this later” Gohan said, interrupting an argument that had begun between Vegeta and Piccolo. “The longer we spend here, the more Shinobi that die.” “You’re right Gohan, as usual” Goku conceded, although he didn’t sound bitter about it. “So, we all know which battle we’re going to right?” Gohan, Piccolo and Vegeta nodded their confirmation but Goten and Trunks stood around looking embarrassed. “The thing is” Goten began, before losing confidence at the sight of Piccolo’s disapproving gesture. Trunks then took over. “When you were explaining all of this, that warrior girl from the Southern galaxy walked past and-“ Vegeta gave his son a swift hit to the back of the head, which stopped him in his tracks. It took another minute to explain which battlefield the youngest members of the group were going to and which direction they had to head in. “What about us?” Naruto asked, reminding the Z fighters that he and Neji were still there. “We want to go with you.” “What for? You’re completely outclassed in power,” Vegeta said bluntly. “We’re handling things from here kid, you should just go home.” “Our friends are out there! We can’t just sit back while they give their all!” Naruto yelled, no longer frightened at Vegeta’s power. The Z fighters then turned to Goku, who predictably had a sympathetic look on his face. The truth was that none of them wanted to bring the young Shinobi along with them but if any of them were to fold it would be Goku. “Fine, you can come with me” Goku said, allowing his emotions to override his head once again. “I’m probably the best to take you anyway, I doubt that you’d be able to handle the speed that we can fly at.” Naruto and Neji shot each other a rather sceptical look. If they weren’t going to fly, how were they going to get there? “Ok then, so all you need to do is touch my arm” Goku explained, as he placed two fingers on his forehead and adopted a look of concentration. “We’ll be there in less than a second.” “Some kind of space time ninjutsu?” Neji thought, as he tentatively placed his hand on Goku’s shoulder. “Wait, do we even call what they do ninjutsu? This is just too bizarre.” “Wait, what about Sasuke?” Naruto asked, just a second before they were about to leave. Goku shot a look at Piccolo, who had been eyeing the sulking child the entire time that they had been there. Piccolo gave an unenthusiastic nod, which confirmed Goku’s suspicions. “Don’t worry about him” Goku replied. “It’ll be taken care of.” With that, Goku disappeared in the blink of an eye. Wasting no time, Trunks quickly took to the air. “Hey Goten, last one to get there is a giant slug! No offence Piccolo!” Trunks joked, before taking off at top speed to avoid Piccolo’s wrath. Goten did the same, which left just three warriors still standing in the middle of the small field. “May as well just get this over with then” Vegeta moaned, before kicking off the ground and entering the air. Gohan then turned to Piccolo, before he too began to hover in the air. “Hey Piccolo, our battles are in the same direction. You want to fly there together?” he asked. “No, you go on ahead kid” he replied, with his eyes still focused on Sasuke. “I’ll leave in another minute.” Gohan shrugged his shoulders, before setting off. As he flew he glanced back to see Piccolo slowly walk over to Sasuke and such a sight caused Gohan to chuckle. As much as he denied it, Piccolo just couldn’t help himself. Piccolo towered over Sasuke, who remained slumped against a tree and staring at the ground. “Shouldn’t you be off saving the world by now?” Sasuke mumbled, a hint of resentment in his voice. The Namekian wasn’t impressed with the boy’s attitude and he quickly pulled him to his feet and forced him to look into his eyes. To Piccolo’s surprise, Sasuke didn’t show a hint of fear at Piccolo’s show of dominance. In fact, he acted as if nothing had happened at all. “Why didn’t you ask to go fight?” Piccolo enquired. “Why don’t you want to go and help your comrades?” “Comrades? I abandoned that a long time ago” Sasuke muttered, as he stared at Piccolo blandly. “I couldn’t care less about them, all I care about is accomplishing my goal.” Piccolo stared into Sasuke’s eyes for the next few seconds, trying to work the boy out. All that stared back at him was years of pain and sorrow. He didn’t know Sasuke’s story or what had caused him to be like this. However, he didn’t care and he knew that anyone could be saved. In one swift movement, Piccolo kicked off the ground and flew into the air, taking Sasuke with him. This brought a reaction from the brooding Uchiha, who screamed like a child. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” he demanded, as he was being held by the scruff of his neck and travelling through the air at speeds he thought were impossible. “I don’t have time to waste, so I thought that I’d kill two birds with one stone” Piccolo replied. “So, how about we start with why you’ve turned out this way.” Sasuke considered his options for a minute, unsure of what to do. He thought about transforming and flying away himself but he realised that he’d be caught in seconds. With no other options, Sasuke simply sighed and gave in. “It started when I was just a child” Sasuke began. “It all started that night.” “For someone who’s from such a weak race, you’re not that bad. Still, you’re just an ant compared to me.” Gaara cried out in pain as his sand defence was broken once again and the enemy he was facing delivered a hard blow to his stomach. He had been battling the blonde haired man alone for five minutes and most of that time had been spent on just trying to survive. He had been given hope when the sky suddenly turned dark a couple of minutes before but the lack of news since then had him worried. Suddenly, a huge wave of sand flew out from the desert beneath them and wrapped itself around the man. Gaara smiled, it appeared that his enemy’s cockiness had got the better of him. “Sand Burial!” Rather than the sickening sound of crunching bones and the horrific sight of blood being squeezed from the body, the sand appeared to have no effect whatsoever. It simply dripped from the man’s body, placid and lifeless. “I guess that’s all you’ve got, isn’t it?” the man taunted, feigning disappointment. “Well, I’m quite bored with you now, so I’ll just finish you off right here.” He then menacingly raised his arm and pointed his open hand straight at Gaara. A small ball of yellow light appeared in his palm and glowered at the young Kazekage. “Time to-“ The scouter over the man’s right eye began beeping loudly and yellow text flashed at a rapid pace. “Who is this?” he asked out loud and focused his eyes on the man that flew in from the sky. Vegeta landed on the sandy desert in dramatic fashion, with an excited smile on his face. “Sorry to keep you waiting” he said. “Judging from that power level, it seems that you’ve finally come out of hiding Saiyan,” the man replied. “Did the guilt over allowing these weaklings to die for you finally shame you enough to reveal yourself?” Vegeta shrugged off the attempted insult with his typical sneer and tried his best not to look at the dead bodies that littered the desert. “I can’t believe you’re trying to mock me over doing something shameful” Vegeta shot back. “After all, what you all did was shameful itself. Isn’t that right, Tuffle?” |

Novacane for the pain
|
I did post it over there. I have a very small group of readers who are liking it so far, which makes it all worth it I guess  Anyway, for anyone following this I won't be updating again until late June when my exams are finished.Chapter 9: Unforseen Complications “Lord Gaara, what should we do?” It took Gaara a few seconds before he even acknowledged his subordinates question. He just stood transfixed, overawed at the dramatic events unfolding before him. “This battle has been taken out of our hands” Gaara responded, before turning back to the gathered forces. “We must focus all of our attention on defeating these metallic creations before us, this guy is way out of our league.” Standing just 50 feet away, Vegeta heard the conversation while continuing with his stare down. “At least these fools know their place,” he thought, smirking as he contemplated his superiority. Seeing an opening, the Tuffle dived towards Vegeta in an attempt to attack. However, he had not accounted for Vegeta’s speed, which was more than enough to simply dodge the strike and knock his opponent away. The Tuffle was back where he started and was quickly feeling frustrated. “What do you think you know about us?” he spat, as he wiped a small amount of blood from his lip. “Everything actually” Vegeta shot back. “Your ancestors were nothing but cowards, sneaking away from the planet as my father and the Saiyans killed the rest of your race. What’s worse, you’ve been sulking away in some god-forsaken hellhole of a planet for the millennia, cowering in fear. Then to top it all off, you spent the time experimenting on other species in some ridiculous attempts to improve yourselves instead of simply training. You’re all pathetic and would have been better of dead than being confined to this fate.” Vegeta’s verbal attack seemed to have some effect; the Tuffle simply stared at the ground with his blond hair covering his eyes. He then reached up and grabbed his scouter from his eye and held it by his side. “Your father?” he asked, without getting a response. “If your father was the one who attacked us, then that must mean that you are the Saiyan Prince Vegeta.” Vegeta didn’t bother to reply and simply allowed his opponent to continue with his speech. “I don’t know how your still alive but I don’t care. I will have the chance to avenge our people and destroy the one’s who were really responsible!” He then crushed the scouter in his hand and jumped into the air. He clenched his fists and pulled his arms back towards his body. He then let out a horrifying scream, sounding like as if he was in pain. As he yelled out, he was surrounded by a see-through aura and the ground beneath him began to shake. Huge gusts of wind appeared to emanate from his body, with enough force to make Vegeta brace himself. Gaara reacted quickly and raised the sand in the area so that his comrades wouldn’t feel the effects. Vegeta retained a calm composure on the outside, casually raising his arm in order to block the incoming wind. However, his thoughts betrayed his true feelings. “It’s so frustrating! If I had all of the power I had gained in Otherworld, this guy would be smaller than an ant to me. Yet, now he presents an actual threat . I can’t take my chances with this one, I’ll have to transform right from the start.” Wasting no more time, Vegeta yelled out and instantly transformed. He was covered by a bright light, which reflected the new colour of his hair. Small bolts of lightning flickered around his body and his muscles bulged under the pressure of the power that they had to handle. Both warriors flew towards each other at speeds that the Shinobi could not follow on the ground below. They exchanged blows for several minutes, knocking each other around the battlefield while still in mid-air. Eventually, Vegeta was able to land a solid hit and send the Tuffle warrior to the ground below. He was able to land on his feat but his heavy breathing gave away how much effort he was putting into the battle. By comparison, Vegeta seemed to be rather relaxed. “You’ve done well to keep up so far, I’ll give you that,” Vegeta mocked, as he hovered in the air. “But, this fight is over. You clearly don’t have the stamina to sustain that power very long and I can feel your energy dropping with each passing second. This is what happens when you rely on science and don’t train enough for your power. Typical Tuffle, a race of losers.” The Tuffle shook with anger; his breathing fractured and sweat dripping from his face. In one last attempt, he stretched both of his arms out in front of him and joined them by linking his thumbs. A small ball of yellow energy began to glow in front of them and it slowly expanded as the seconds passed. ‘He’ll be putting everything he’s got into this attack” Vegeta realised, as he felt the energy drain for the Tuffle’s body to the ball of energy in front of him. Vegeta prepared to counter by turning his body slightly, placing his palm on the back of his other hand. Purple energy gathered around him, before he thrust his arms forwards in anticipation. “Photon Flash!” the Tuffle yelled out. “Galick Gun, Fire!” Vegeta responded. The gold and purple beams collided in the middle of the battlefield, creating a blinding light that engulfed everyone present. The struggle to breathe was infuriating and the horrible cough he had made everything worse. He gulped down the vial of medicine that Kabuto had left behind, relishing every mouthful of the sickening liquid. After he was done, he licked his lips in anticipation. “Not long now” he whispered, as laughter interrupted his own statement. “Immortality and a powerful new body all in one day. My, it will be satisfying.” However, as he spoke he felt a presence outside of his room. Initially, he presumed that it was Kabuto but the slowness with which the door opened suggested otherwise. Finally, the young boy outside walked in. “Back already Sasuke?” Orochimaru asked, sounding both surprised and excited. “Even for you I have to say that is impressive. Now, set the Dragon Balls down and we can begin with our wish.” “I don’t have the Dragon Balls, in fact no one will be able to use them ever again” Sasuke responded, to his masters outrage. “You failed!” Orochimaru screamed, furious that his plans had fallen by the wayside so soon. “If that’s true, why have you come back here so casually?” “I came because I have my own agenda that I want to complete” Sasuke said, as he activated his Sharingan and powered up a Chidori. “I’m stronger than you now, Orochimaru and it’s time for this hawk to take flight.” The kick to Tello’s jaw came swiftly and completely out of nowhere. He had been keeping an eye on the horizon ever since the sky had suddenly turned dark, waiting for the arrival of whatever warrior had been summoned. His scouter didn’t make a single sound before the attack came and it was destroyed by the blow before it could. “That blonde hair” he gasped, as his assailant slowly walked over to him. “You must be a Saiyan right?” Goku didn’t dignify the question with any kind of response. He couldn’t get the sight of all those bodies out of his head, especially the one that Tello had been standing over when he arrived. The elderly man lay unconscious on the ground, being brutally beaten by the unforgiving Tuffle. With enough motive to attack just about anyone, Goku charged at Tello at full force and engaged him in mid-air battle. “Rasengan!” Naruto thrust his signature attack into the enemy that had walked towards his master’s body. He had to know, he had to see it with his own eyes. He refused to believe that Jiraiya was dead, there was just no way. “Pervy Sage” he cried out, as he bent down and stared at Jiraiya’s lifeless form. Tears began pouring from his eyes, before he began to break down crying. The only parental figure in his life, the one man that had ever looked at him with pride in his eyes, was gone. Naruto felt sick, as a mixture of grief and anger ran through his body. This soon made way for a wild emotion that felt familiar yet indescribable, causing him to shake uncontrollably. “Naruto, wait!” Neji called out, as he ran over to him with his Byakugan. “It’s faint but I can see his chakra still flowing through his body. He’s just about alive, he can still make it.” However, Neji’s words did not reach the Jinchuriki. The demon inside had taken over and there was not a single thing that Naruto could do about it. Red chakra encased him, first by bubbling up from the inside but then becoming much more severe. It was as if his skin split apart, revealing the beast - like form that lay beneath. He screamed out in animalistic rage and began to attack both friend and foe around him. “Naruto!” Kakashi cried out, stunned at what he was witnessing. He had no way of suppressing that kind of chakra and he certainly had no way of fighting against it. Desperately, he began searching around for the one man could help while praying that he hadn’t been lost in battle. “Tenzo!” After a number of panicked seconds, a man wearing the Leaf Village’s ANBU uniform arrived at the scene. “I’ll do my best Kakashi,” he muttered, as he began making hand signs. Up above them, the fighting paused for a moment. Goku quickly looked beneath him, looking for the source of the new disruption. “Where is that powerful energy coming from?” he wondered. “It’s huge, yet there’s something strange about it. Something inherently evil.” “You should be keeping an eye on me!” For a second, Tello though that he had caught Goku with his guard down. But, he hadn’t expected his opponent would suddenly disappear in the middle of battle. It was more than just speed; it was as if he literally disappeared. “Dragon Fist!” Without his scouter, Tello had not detected Goku flying up towards him until the final second, and by then it was too late. Goku charged towards him with his fist pulled right back, visions of a great dragon surrounding him. With tremendous force, Goku’s fist punched straight through the Tuffle’s torso and stuck out the other side. Tello barely had the time turn around, meaning that he was facing Goku when the attack connected. It was a gruesome way to end a battle and Goku didn’t particularly like it. Yet, he had to finish the fight quickly and saw no other option available to him. Tello stared straight back at Goku as he died. He showed no fear over his upcoming demise or any repentance for what he had done. All that could be seen in his eyes was the deep hatred created by a lifetime of resentment. “You think you’ve won, don’t you?” Tello croaked, using his final breaths to give his speech. “Well, you are a fool if you believe it. The thing is, that we’re not the main invading force. We just came to check out the planet, see if any Saiyans were actually still here. Our King will arrive soon and he makes us look like complete jokes. I guess on a more personal level, my only regret is that I will not get to see him annihilate you.” His breathing became much more restricted after that, as the damage he sustained finally took it’s toll. With his last breath, he spat the blood that had gathered in his mouth onto Goku’s face as the light left his eyes. On the ground below, Tenzo was able to restrain Naruto with his Wood Style and suppress the harmful chakra that had consumed him. Goku let the Tuffle’s body fall from his grasp and simply stayed there floating for a number of seconds. “Looks like this entire situation has become much more complicated.” Edited by Copy_Ninja, Jun 23 2012, 05:27 PM.

Novacane for the pain

Lol, yeah I don't edit this one very thoroughly before posting. I've been kind of forcing myself to write it recently as well, because I have a group of about 5 or 6 loyal fans on FF.net who love it so I feel like I have to. That's one of the main reasons I'm taking a break (that and exams) because I've not enjoyed writing the last few chapters. |

Novacane for the pain

If anyone was following this, re-read the last chapter before this because I made an important change regarding Sasuke. Chapter 10: Only the Beginning “Guess it really is empty then. What a shame.” Sasuke frowned as he walked out of the cave, trying to hide his disappointment. He hadn’t really expected to find Itachi in the nearest Akatsuki base to the hideout but it was frustrating nevertheless. “Well, I did say that I didn’t detect any chakra coming from inside” the red haired girl snapped, while she adjusted her glasses. “Maybe next time-“ “Shut up Karin” Sasuke said harshly, as he walked straight passed her towards the boy sat on the grass. Karin watched Sasuke as he went and noted the change in his chakra. “He’s angry, way more angry than anything I have ever felt before. He’s putting on a façade around us, but it’s always bubbling below the surface. I don’t get it, he was always so cool and calm in the past, what’s changed?” “Suigetsu, I thought you were watching Jugo?” Sasuke asked, sounding more like he was telling him off than anything else. “I thought I told you that you aren’t my boss in this little arrangement” Suigetsu shot back, before he casually took another sip from the flask he held in his hand. Sasuke held his gaze over Suigetsu, who eventually just gave in and laughed. “Fine, have it your way for now if you want. He’s in the trees over there talking to animals or something. Pretty creepy if you ask me.” Sasuke ignored Suigetsu’s final words and simply walked over to where Jugo was. Before he got there, the giant Shinobi came running out, wide-eyed and in shock. “Sasuke, I-“ Jugo was cut off by the terrible rage that came over him. Glowing red marks began to rush around his body, turning his skin a sickly green colour and his eyes a terrible yellow. Seeing this horrible change as nothing more than an annoying inconvenience, Sasuke simply summoned a pair of giant snakes from his sleeves and wrapped them around him. Within a minute, he returned to his normal state. “Finish what you were saying” Sasuke demanded. “I know where the Akatsuki are,” Jugo stammered, looking positively terrified at the information he had just received. Goku felt his muscles relax and what was remaining of his ki return to a normal method of circulation throughout his body. He knew that his job was done for the day at least but the intensity of the battle and the amount of power he was forced to use was worrying, especially when there was a power on it’s way that’s many times higher. Although, there was one hope that he could think of. Goku stared back down at the battlefield, where that tremendous power had come from just a few seconds before. Judging by the state of the collapsed boy on the ground and the collection of wooden statues surrounding him, it was clear that the power had been emanating from him. Quite how useful it could be in the future was unclear to him, as the reaction from the people below made it clear that he had no control over this power at all and the sheer evil and that came from it made it doubtful if it could ever be harnessed. “Hey! Are you going to finish these things off or what?” The shout from a random voice broke Goku from his thoughts and he turned his attention to the remaining Cybermen that were still engaging the Shinobi below. Counting how many there were, Goku simply stretched out his arm and fired off a succession of ki blasts, each of which decimated the unsuspecting and out – matched creations. A strange silence fell over the battlefield, as the threat they had been facing vanished in the blink of an eye. To say it was a strange situation was putting it lightly and many weren’t even sure how they should react. After another few seconds, a raucous cheer broke out across the battlefield all directed at the man they saw as a saviour. Goku didn’t have the heart to tell them what he had just heard; they may as well have at least one more happy moment. He sighed and then headed down towards the boy. “How is he?” Goku asked the nearest man, who had what looked like a metallic headband covering his eye. “He’ll be fine now, he just needs to rest. Using the power of a tailed beast can be quite harmful for the Jinchuriki when they haven’t mastered it” the man responded, which just gave Goku more questions than answers. “I’m Kakashi by the way.” “My name’s Goku” he replied, taking the hand that had been offered and thinking about how strange the name was. “So, I was told that there should be a commander around here somewhere, is that you.” “Actually, it’s him” Kakashi sighed, pointing towards the unconscious man on the ground that was being treated by a medical team. “There’s a chance that he’ll pull through but you won’t be able to talk to him for a long time. If you need to talk to someone with authority, our leaders should be meeting in the Hidden Cloud Village after the battles have been completed, so I suppose that you could talk to them there.” “Okay, I’ll have to follow you guys there then, is there anything I can do to help right now?” Kakashi was startled by the offer and wasn’t really sure how to respond. How do you order around the man that had just saved your entire planet? “Erm, no I think we’ve got it covered” Kakashi replied cheerily despite the circumstances. “How about I just lead you back to the Cloud Village now?” “That’ll work, my friends will probably go there with the other guys as well” Goku said, as he picked up Naruto. “While we go, tell me more about this kid and where that power is coming from.” “So, what is it then Kakarot? I thought our job was done and now your saying there’s more to it?” “I told you Vegeta, I don’t want to explain it twice so just wait until we meet with those cage people okay?” “I’m pretty sure it was pronounced Kage Dad.” The Z fighters were all in separate stalls changing into the replacement gear they had been given by the Shinobi. Of course, Vegeta couldn’t allow such moments to pass without starting an argument. “Hey, these things look pretty cool!” Goten said as he proudly strut out of his stall wearing a grey outfit over a black mesh that was tight to his skin. He’d even put on the Cloud Village headband he’d been given. “Yeah, and look at these weapons they gave us!” Trunks exclaimed, as he walked out wearing an identical outfit. “These star things looks so awesome, hey Goten try and block this with that head thing.” Trunks launched the Shiruken at Goten, who was able to move his headbands in time to deflect it. However, rather than doing that it shattered on contact and fell to pieces on the floor. “Hey, you broke it!” Goten yelled. “Not my fault it’s a piece of crap!” Trunks shot back. Predictably, this soon led to a brawl between the two of them as they ran towards each other. However, before either one could land a blow Gohan sprang to life and moved in between them, catching their wrists and stopping them in their tracks. “You two need to give it a rest” he said, serious and logical as usual. He was wearing a standard Leaf Village uniform, complete with flack jacket and blue shirt. “Gohan’s right, we’re all low on power right now and we still have more fighting to do, so don’t waste it” Goku piped up as he stepped into the open wearing an identical outfit to that of his oldest son. “Why are we still low on power Kakarot? And why do we still have to fight? We destroyed those useless Tuffle’s all ready so what more do we have to do?” Vegeta had finally stepped out, unsurprisingly wearing a unique outfit. He had chosen the outfit usually reserved for the ANBU of the Leaf Village, complete with the katana although he had incinerated what he had deemed a “foolish” facemask. “I just said I’d tell you what I know soon” Goku began, sounding frustrated. “As for the ki thing, according to Piccolo it’s probably a side affect of losing all of the power we had. Anyway, we’re wasting time standing around we should get going.” “Not us, we want to see what this place is about” Goten declared and was quickly backed by Trunks. Before anyone could object, the two boys ran off. Goku just shook his head and chuckled, while Vegeta muttered expletives and the word “useless” multiple times. “Lady Tsunade, glad you could finally join us. How is Jiraiya doing?” Even though he meant well, every time the Tsuchikage spoke Tsunade felt annoyed. It was just the way he spoke, as if every word was intended to display how superior he was over them all, which of course was not in any way true. Still, she knew it was not the time and place and that it was her job to make sure everyone worked together. “He’s alive, Shizune can handle the rest of the treatment herself” Tsunade responded, keeping things brief on purpose. “I take it those Saiyan people aren’t here yet?” “No, they went to change their clothes” Mei replied, as she gazed out of the window. “We’re so high up here it really is amazing. You can even see the birds flying past the window.” “Stop trying to change the subject Mizukage, we’re all thinking the same thing here” Ay snarled from his chair in the corner. “They wouldn’t want to talk to us like this if something wasn’t wrong.” As if he’d timed it perfectly, Goku opened the door just after Ay finished speaking. There was an eerie silence in the room, which as especially odd as it was the first time they had all spoken with each other. Still, it left everyone with no doubt as to what the gravity of the situation was. “Come on Goku” Piccolo grunted. “Enough of your excuses, you need to start talking.” “There’s one more coming” Goku blurted out, not bothering with any more build up. “He told me, just before he died. Their king is on his way and he’s much more powerful than the one’s we fought. The fact that we can’t sense him means that he can suppress his power and crucially we can’t track him or predict when and where he’ll arrive.” “I see” Tsunade stammered, trying to process the information she was getting. She knew that it was too good to be true; it had all been too simple. “Do you think you can win?” “Not at this power” Gohan commented despondently. “We don’t know how long it will take to restore the ki we recently lost either.” “So, you’re saying after all we went through to revive you guys, you can’t help us?” Ay yelled, his lightning armour beginning to consume him. Vegeta seemed visibly unimpressed with this attempted show at power and made this known through an audible “pfft.” “There’s one person that can help us now” Goku began, surprising everyone present. “Where is Naruto Uzumaki right now?” “Naruto?” Gaara asked, although he didn’t need an answer. “He’s in the village isn’t he? All of the Jinchuriki are here.” “Yes that’s right, we thought it best to keep them here given that they would be defenceless in their own villages without the Kage there” Tsunade explained. “Naruto himself is still unconscious though, the effects of the Nine Tails chakra still hasn’t worn off.” “Sorry, I’m lost here” Gohan sighed, although he wasn’t alone as both Piccolo and Vegeta seemed similarly confused. “Naruto has a demon sealed inside of him,” Goku said, recalling the information given to him by Kakashi. “That’s what that foul ki was that you felt, a fraction of it’s power leaked out.” “Wait, why does he have a demon?” Gohan asked, letting his curiosity get the better of him. “It’s to maintain the balance of power between the nations” Mei replied. “There are nine Tailed Beasts in the world and for our own safety we were forced to seal them away within people. These people became known as Jinchuriki, with examples being Naruto Uzumaki and Lord Kazekage here. It is believed that the Nine Tailed Fox is the strongest of the demons so consequently he would be the strongest of the Jinchuriki.” “And these beasts sometimes get sealed in children?” Piccolo asked, which was answered with a nod from the various Kage. “How disgusting.” “For once, the Namek is right” Vegeta scoffed. “It’s shameful, you would put these things in children rather than take the responsibility yourselves.” “You don’t know anything about it!” Ay yelled, smashing the desk in front of him. Furious, he lunged at Vegeta who simply stood with his arms crossed. Before getting there, a wall of sand stopped his attack. “That’s not going to help things,” Gaara said. “Besides, any attack you make will hurt yourself far more than it would hurt him.” “So, you want to control the power of the Nine Tails?” Onoki croaked, laughing under his breath as he did so. “Is it possible?” Goku pleaded. Both Tsunade and Ay went to open their mouth but were interrupted by the flattering of wings. A small group of doves flew in through the open window and slowly circled the desk. They looked confused, as if they’d flown in by accident. “Damn birds” Ay muttered, apparently used to this happening in his office. “No!” Onoki yelled, suddenly jumping up from his seat. “Those aren’t birds.” On the edge of the village, a blonde haired man wearing a black cloak with red clouds was stood on a giant clay owl hovering above the village. He looked through the sight covering his right eye and chuckled as he watched the action unfold. He slowly raised two fingers and brought them level with his nose in front of his face. “Too late old man” he thought, so excited he could barely stand still. “Once I’ve dealt with you and those other annoying old bores, I’ll simply pick up the Kazekage and my quota is met. My only regret is that I can’t see your face as I do this. Now, let us begin.” “Katsu!” |
