Changing Fate Chapter 1
Shion had failed. The pale blond haired priestess sat crumpled to the ground before the shrine that the body of the demon Moryo had been sealed within until moments ago when she had made a critical mistake.
She had broken her mother's weakened seal upon the shrine in order to place her own new seal upon it. Upon her completion of that task Moryo had flung his follower Yomi through the barrier she had placed up to keep him out killing the man but successfully bringing his spirit within.
She had tried to cover the shrine with her body but he just flung her away slamming her back into her own barrier before claiming his body.
"What have I done? All these years what were they for?" she asked herself as tears fell from her eyes.
"Shion," came the excited shout as a blond young man ran into the cavern. "Did you do it? You sealed that bastard away didn't you?" The orange and black ninja asked.
"Naruto," she almost sobbed out as she looked back at him.
Suddenly uncertain he asked, "Uh, are you okay?" He then seemed to shrug off his uncertainty saying, "Oh yeah your probably tired huh?"
"I… I didn't… deserve to be protected… by you… or anyone else," she haltingly said bringing an angry frown to his face.
"Shion," he called out and started to move towards her before the ground began to shake causing him to stumble.
From the seal surrounding the shrine and her burst several dragon like heads made of chakra with a roar. Then the ground beneath her broke open, dropping her into the darkness of Moryo's embrace.
"Shion!" yelled Naruto as he now ran to try and save her.
The bell that Shion had been given long ago by her mother then began to glow.
With a villainous laugh Moryo said, "There's no need for tears. As long as you possess that light I cannot absorb you into me, but are you sure this is what you wish. You may not like what you see. The end of this world for instance." He then gave another long and dark chuckle.
Remembering her forteling of Naruto's death in the cavern above her she haltingly thought to herself, 'I'm still alive. Then that means… Naruto is… if things go on like this then… Naruto will… will…'
Then her thoughts were interrupted by a vision. A winged man made of blue light stood talking. "Don't you see? If my power and your Jutsu combined the entire world would be under our control," he stated.
"Such folly, have you really no faith in mankind?" responded a woman made of pink light wearing the ceremonial crown of a priestess.
"Have faith in them, that sorry lot? You cannot be serious Miroku," the man responded.
"Mother," Shion gasped out as she realized who the woman was.
She rapidly saw several other visions of her mother. Herself laying on her mother's lap saying, "I love your lap mother. It's so warm."
"Oh Shion what a child you are," her mother responded.
"I could stay here forever," the young Shion said back.
Next came a vision of Miroku standing before her retainers. "It's madness my lady," stated one.
"I will not teach this child any of the jutsu. Do you mean to chalange my order," she said back sounding angry.
"But milady" responded the retainer before the next vission.
Then came a vision of the day she received her bell from her mother. "Here, hold on to this at all times," she was told.
"It's so pretty," her younger self said before asking, "Is it a good luck charm?"
"Yes and it will always keep you safe. No matter what should happen to me, let your heart stay true," replied her mother. "A day will come when I am no longer at your side for all things in this world are ephemeral," she had finished the conversation.
Finally there was the day that her mother stood against Moryo. "Mother," she had screamed seeing her mother stand before the monstrous presence.
"You still mean to stand in my way Miroku? Fine, I will not ask for your power. But you realize what that will mean? Do you not?" he had said.
Her mother looked to her and asked, "Shion where's your bell?"
She had looked to her hands and about herself and the ground looking for it before Moryo attacked her making her scream in fear.
"What?" came his dark voice.
Her mother suddenly stood protecting her the light shining from her crown and said, "I am the priestess. Do not take my power lightly."
"I see you will risk your life and pass…" his dark voice started.
'Through time,' Shion completed in her mind and now knew how to save Naruto. He would not have to pay for her failure. Drawing upon her power she sent her spirit back to the moment at the lake.
"I have a plan and it'll work this time too." Naruto said.
She started for a moment and looked around realizing what she had done before he bent down to carry her and said, "Come on. Let's go."
"One's fate… cannot be changed," she had replied as she now reached down to remove the bell pined to her jacket.
"Yeah yeah keep telling me that," he responded as she climbed on his back covertly pinning the bell to him with a contented smile as she tightened her grip on him.
"Naruto." She started.
"Hm?" he grunted to show he was listening.
"Careful, you must live." She had finished.
Finally as the moment of his death came she called out to him, "Naruto, you must… LIVE!
"I've seen that power once before," Moryo stated with a sinister laugh. "Is this what you want though? Giving up your amulet… to a man?" Moryo questioned with another dark laugh. "Very well, if that is your wish I shall grant it. Now witness as our bodies become one and all those who tried to protect you perish, as the very world of humans' rots away," He finished with an evil chuckle.
"I would have been fine with this," Shion began with a quiet sob. "If only I had known from the beginning that all those people who gave their lives for me wouldn't have had to die. Isn't that right, Mother?" she finished as she looked up to see a light within the darkness.
"Shion how I wish you could have spent your days in peace," Miroku's voice responded.
Again she saw a vision of her mother's past. A retainer sat bowed before her spoke saying, "Su… Such a duty would be…"
"We must be careful with her power," her mother interrupted. "The slightest misstep and it could grow to be a menace even greater than Moryo. A heavy burden. One too great for Shion. So we shall seal that power in this stone, and surpress what would awaken should she die. Even at the cost of our Peoples lives," She had said.
Reaching to the light and standing Shion called out, "Mother."
The light moved and she found herself within her mother's embrace. "Shion, your mother was unable to protect you and didn't have faith in you, do you hate me?" her mother sadly asked.
"Of course I don't. Mother… I love you so much," Shion answered.
With her question answered she faded away and Shion began to emit the light. "What? This is…" Moryo voiced in a sudden concerned note.
'I understand. I know now how this power must be used,' Shion thought to herself.
"Kai!" she shouted releasing her physical form and taking on her ascended form. Her hair became pink and stood out at the sides as if to form angelic wings while the back went vertical rising on the currents of her power. A vertical halo of golden light with a single separate point of light similar to the crown she had worn as a priestess formed above her head. Pink lines and symbols flowed across her form. Finally a tattered pale blue shawl seemed to dance about her and blue bangles encircled her wrists.
She raised her hand up and looked at it as she thought to herself, 'So many priestesses before me, I can even hear the voices of those who died before their time.'
'How far it all stretches back,' she mused as pink energy formed square seals below her feet that spread out away from her withing the black void that was Moryo.
"Now I see your true power is held in that bell of yours," growled out the voice of Moryo.
"So… this is the end?" she quietly muttered. Her eyes shining with unshead tears she said, "Naruto, can you hear me? From this day on… it's up to all of you to protect this world."
With a resigned smile she then stated, "Finally I know my destiny."
The memory of his speech at the lake came back to her, "It's not useless, I'll protect you. I swear on my Nindo. I promise."
"You're a terrible liar Naruto," she said with a quiet sob letting the tears fall. Raising her arms she began to focus her power. 'You and I, we will disappear together,' she thought as Moryo began to scream.
Suddenly she heard her bell ring and was pulled back into her mortal form with a look of shock and a grunt. "Shion snap out of it!" screamed Naruto's voice as she was yanked free of Moryo's embrace by him and a chain of his clones that launched them into the air. "Open your eyes and breathe!" he continued getting the sudden gasp and widening of her violet eyes he was looking for.
"Can you see? Can you hear? What is your heart telling you?" he questioned her rapidly as they came face to face. "Do you want to die like this or what?" he continued shouting as his cerulean eyes looked into her violet ones. Getting a strangled sob from her he finally asked, "Do you want to just fade away?"
'I…" she hesitantly said.
"I can't hear you!" he sarcastically responded. "Say it Shion! Say it in your own words! Come on let me hear it!" he screamed out tilting his head back as if to roar it.
"I want," she quietly began before shouting back at him in the same manner, "To Live!"
"All right then!" he gladly responded.
The bell started constantly ringing as it floated between their hands. He spoke haltingly as energy began to coalesce around the bell saying, "Me… and all my comrades… we don't bow down for anybody!"
It began to shine brightly as he turned his angry face to her to say, "You don't like the hand fate has dealt you, fight for a better one."
He looked back at the energy ball and called out, "Keep it coming. More!"
She grunted gently and the ball of light began to expand rapidly. "Everything your feeling just let it out," he encouraged as it grew to massive size.
Moryo's physical form began to burst free of the confines of the rock he had been buried within. "Too slow," Naruto stated.
As they reached the apogee of their flight Naruto held the massive sphere of energy above their heads. "You want it? Here have a taste of the Naruto to Shion no Cho Chakura Rasengan!" he yelled as they plummeted and he turned them to go head and Rasengan first into the demon causing Moryo to wail in pain as they came down upon him.
"I promised you didn't I? I said we were going to change your destiny and that's just what we're going to do." Naruto again shouted.
Shion closed her eyes and hugged him tighter saying quietly, "I'm with you mother."
Moryo seemed to explode into a column of light causing the earth to shake. The pathways and ceiling of the sealing chamber began to collapse into the magma below. Realizing their danger Shion reached to draw upon her power bound within the bell to attempt to once again go back in time and change their fate. She intended to go back just a few moments to the creation of the Rasengan and put a little less power into it in hopes that it wouldn't destabilize the cavern.
The power began to flow into her but suddenly spiked and she realized she was also drawing in the massive amounts of Naruto's chakra that surrounded and infused the bell. She could feel him as if they had become one being. She felt how similarly hard his life had been and could sense another malevolent entity sealed away within him his anger drawing upon its power feeding it into the bell and her as well. Then the massive influx of energy triggered the intended jutsu and her spirit was ripped away into the past.
AN: Well this is my second story and just for those who read Swirling blood do not worry I will be continuing it. Now I know most of this first chapter is just a retelling of the final battle of Naruto Shippuuden the movie but I felt it was necessary to set up for the rest of the story. I hope you like where this goes and review to give me opinions on the quality and how I can improve in the future. Thanks for reading.
