(A/N- start)

Hey guys! Welcome to my new story, Midnight Fox. I have had an (unholy) addiction to reading the Naruto fanfictions, ever since reading the original story and finding it... Depressing.

The story that sparked this one off was actually 'Reaching for a Dream', possibly one of the best fanfictions I have ever read, and the first with a practical ascension to god-hood in the Naruto category.

The Make a Wish (Harry Potter) stories are as good quality, as is Chunin Exam Day (Naruto) and Dr. Strangelove (Evangelion) (aka How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the N2 Mine), Reaching For. A Dream (Naruto), and all these stories also inspired this one.

So... Yeah. This is a Psyren and Naruto crossover, so expect Telepathy, and insane powers.

Yes, that is including the insane Ninja powers.

That's right.

Shits gonna get real.

For this story, the difference begins when Naruto traps the forest around him before learning the shadow clone jutsu, earning a few more minutes before being caught. Mwahaha!

I don't own Naruto, Psyren, or any other source material that may or may not be included in this story. I haven't published my novel yet either, and as I am a college student, I make no money off this work. Wish I could though.

Enjoy!

(Oh, and there will be bashing, because I really hate many characters in the original. Mwahahaha!)

(A/N- end)

Chapter 1- Show of Power

It was a dark and stormy night in Konoha. The shopkeepers had closed down for the night, as it had been the day after graduation, and, of course, that meant that a certain blond ninja-in-training was running from the Hokage's tower with the Forbidden Scroll.

And, against what most people intended to believe, Naruto Uzimaki was fairly good at stealth- he had to be. He couldn't walk down the street without being glared at, occasionally spat on, or, even more rarely, have rocks thrown at him.

Even in a bright orange tracksuit, with bright blond hair visible, he still managed to evade the much faster and experienced ANBU, while carrying the Forbidden Scroll.

Running full-tilt, while carrying the scroll, and remaining out of sight, turned his five-mile run (from the Hokage Tower to a training field with a small-ish wooded area within the village) into a twenty minute journey.

Still, he reasoned, it was worth it.

After securing the surrounding area with a bewildering variety of traps, of both lethal and non-lethal varieties in a few scant minutes, the ninja-in-training sat down, and opened the scroll.

The first technique was, of course, the technique from a class he was worst at. The Shadow Clone Technique.

Well... he thought, I may as well work on this one.

After about fifteen minutes or so, there were a dozen Narutos standing in the clearing, grinning as if they had just eaten the best ramen ever.

With a single hand-sign, there was only one orange-clad blond standing in the clearing. "Well, that was cool. What else can I learn..." He muttered, as he sat back down, and rolled open the scroll some more- revealing an intricate storage seal.

Now, Naruto couldn't read- no one had ever taught him, and the libraries in Konoha didn't allow him entry for any reason. However, he was not particularly stupid, and had managed to memorize some basic kanji, as well as his name.

When he saw the name Uzimaki on the scroll, above the kanji for 'Sealed', he bit his finger as he had been taught in the shinobi academy, and smeared the blood onto the 'reaction' part of the scroll. The fact this seal was the 'Uzimaki Heritage Scroll' completely escaped him.

With a puff of smoke, out popped- a smaller scroll.

"Oh..." Naruto sighed dejectedly- then he perked up. Whatever is in this scroll was so awesome they needed to hide a scroll within the scroll of seals! Genius! He mentally patted himself on the back, and unrolled the smaller scroll. Again he saw his last name, and again, he smeared some blood on it, and the seals began to glow.

And got brighter, before flaring out into a thin, wire like shape tipped with a fork-like spike on the end. Made of pure chakra, it was only visible as barely-glowing outlined shape.

The spike waved around, moving like the head of a snake, before locking onto him and cracking open like a flower. From within the 'flower', a sphere of energy blossomed, as though it was inflating from the spike, then flashed out to encompass Naruto, the scroll it was originating from, the Forbidden scroll underneath that, and everything for more than ten feet around in a halo of blue power.

Naruto watched, warily, as the sphere of power engulfed him, and became somewhat cloudy- Was that Iruka-Sensei running out from between two trees, covered in chicken feathers, glue, and slightly smoldering? His attention was directed to a pair of clocks that appeared in the sphere, each slightly bigger than his head.

The left one kept ticking like normal, but the other one began to slow down, and as it did, the dome became more and more red, before the clock effectively stopped, and the dome became the deep, deep red of very thick, almost dry blood. The colors became unreal, shadows being formed into odd shapes as details that he never noticed jumped out from the most unlikely places. A hail of glowing streaks sliced through the world, not illumination as much as lines of light, and just barely lit up the dark dome around him.

Then, suddenly, the air became thick with chakra, almost stifling, before a vortex opened like an iris onto an idyllic tropical island, with bright daylight visible.

Naruto had a few seconds to notice the fact there was an old man, maybe 60 or so years old but in good shape, still with a full head of hair, although the black hair was flecked with silver and strands, standing next to three women of similar age and appearance.

Two of the women could almost be twins, except one appeared to be a photonegative of the other, and the third appeared regal in bearing, despite her age. Chakra, in huge amounts, surrounded the women, and spiraled into the vortex behind him.

Then, Naruto felt something warm begin dripping from his nose. Carefully, he wiped his upper lip, and looked at it. Blood? Why-

Naruto collapsed onto the grass, sweating and shivering, barely conscious as the portal closed.

He came to, feeling decidedly odd. It was easier to think, and easier to do, well, everything. It was as if a huge weight had been taken off his chest.

Then Naruto realized he was laying in something wet, and jumped to his feet. "Where am I?" He yelled. "Is there anyone there?"

"Wow, that took you a while shrimp." The regal woman from his dream was standing above him, orange hair waving in an unfelt wind while her golden eyes glimmered- but her mouth never moved. "I thought your tiny brain had fried for a few seconds- too bad, really."

Naruto bristled. "Hey!"

"Don't get angry at Oh-Seven- that's just how she speaks with everyone." A male voice said behind him.

Naruto spun around and saw the photonegative twins slowly pulling some symbol off one of the walls, as a man with dark blue-black hair and dark blue eyes held a black sphere, roughly the size of a pomegranate seemed hard at work burning(?) away another symbol that was floating in the water. "Where am I? What are you doing? Where is Konoha?"

"Full of questions, isn't this shrimp?"

Naruto let out a yelp as he felt a gauntleted hand grab his ankle, and lift him into the air. He was suddenly face-to-face with... Something. It looked like a, well, an empty suit of some form of ceremonial armor.

The most distinctive part of the armor was its head- it resembled, in a way, the head of a bird-of-prey, the top of the helmet hooked and menacing, but with a large spike coming out of the back of the helmet, prompting the mind to think of a feathered ridge or crest.

Then it's face- or lack thereof, hit him. There was a nebulous glow within the helmet, and it tickled the small, reptilian part of his brain that said /what you are looking at is very, very dangerous- and you should be running and hiding/.

Naruto tried not to whimper as the thing inspected him for a moment, before grabbing the back of his orange jacket with a gauntleted hand, and righting him.

"Oh-Seven! Stop tormenting the poor child!" Scolded the dark-skinned twin. "Can't you read the writing on the wall?"

"Of course. " Oh-Seven's 'voice' reverberated with derision at being asked such a stupid question. "Mostly derivative work, based on my extrapolations of the Nemesis series of Burst commands, but universal enough for government work." Her lips quirked in a very slight smile as her eyes flicked towards Naruto. "Don't fear Nemesis-Q, shrimp. It's not intelligent, it just appears to be- like most people I would dare say. Especially the bald wig over there."

"Hey!" The man shouted. "Who are you calling 'Bald Wig'!?"

(A/N- yes, I am going to transcribe the language puns.)

"Ageha..." The pale-skin twin giggled as she violently tore the last piece of symbol off the wall.

The walls of the tunnel pulsed as if alive, and Naruto passed out.

When he came to for a second time, he realized that he was being carried through the tunnels by Nemesis Q- and the four people with him appeared to be floating alongside him.

"Um..." He said, not entirely sure how to voice his thoughts- which, all of a sudden, were more clear than they ever had been.

The floating man groaned, then slapped his forehead, and smiled. "Let's start this over again- I didn't expect you to wake up before we removed the mental blocks. My name is Ageha Uzumaki." He jest urged to the twins floating alongside him. "These are Amamiya, my wife,-" the white-eyed pale-skinned blond-haired twin waved. "-and Abyss, my wife" The dark-skinned black-eyed and blond twin giggled. "And of course, you met Grigori #07- who is also my wife."

Naruto turned to look at Oh-Seven, and she was watching the ceiling intently. "Nice to meet you all!" He said, grinning. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki- future Hokage of Konoha!"

"Hokage? Fire Shadow? What's that?" Amamiya asked.

"Only the most awesome, and most respected, ninja in the Land of Fire!" Naruto exclaimed with some enthusiasm.

Amamiya, Abyss, and Ageha cracked up laughing.

"Fire Shadow?" Ageha chuckled. "What, is there a lightning shadow? A wind shadow? Maybe a rock shadow?"

This confused Naruto. "Um... Yes?"

They stopped laughing.

"What's their purpose?" Asked Oh-Seven. She sounded unusually serious. "What do they do? Are they important?"

"The Hokage runs the Hidden Leaf Ninja Village." Naruto didn't understand why they were asking these questions. "We are the main ninja force in the Land of Fire, and each of the big countries has their own ninja Village. They command large forces of ninja."

"And these ninja are soldiers?" Abyss seemed angry, for some reason.

"Yes!" Naruto answered, somewhat defensively. "We train from the age of 6 to 12 or so, then become genin. I want to be a ninja, but if I don't learn a technique off the scroll, I won't be allowed to graduate." He looked around, and saw that the water was beginning to drip from the ceiling again.

"I guess I won't be able to become a ninja now though."

Naruto tried not to sniffle as his hopes and dreams were crushed by that realization, and missed the fact that a pipe above them, this one a glowing red, was getting bigger and bigger.

"You want to become a child soldier?" Abyss and Amamiya asked in tandem, both angered and incredulous at the mere concept.

"I can't get any other jobs..." Naruto said softly. "No-one lets me try. I can't live on the orphan allowance for more than another year, and I can barely get enough to eat as it is."

"It could be worse." Oh-Seven exclaimed, voice toneless. "You could be locked into a test tube, and tested every day for what you could do."

"... Maybe. Is being ignored by everyone better?" Naruto asked. "Only Jiji-sama, Sensei Iruka and the Ichiraku ramen people even talk to me anymore."

Ageha and the others watched as his memories flitted over the walls like splashes of color. Naruto appeared oblivious to the flashing images of happiness that he could see, but not feel. The adults were kind, but there was little they did to offset what most villagers did to him.

"What about her?" Abyss asked, a dark rope tipped with a scythe-like claw emerging from her back as she pinned an image of a girl with long blue hair, white eyes, and a little blush looking at him. "She obviously likes you kid."

"Hinata?" Naruto asked, seeing the image for the first time. "She never said more than a couple words to me at any one time- she just turns red and falls over."

A clear rope, this one almost like shimmering glass, appeared from Amamiya's palm, tipped with a tuning fork (also made of glass), and stabbed the image. "Let's see."

With a frightening suddenness, Naruto was seeing every memory he had that had Hinata in it. Every class where she looked at him and blushed, every time she tried to sit with him before another student pushed him away, the way she fiddled with the goggles around her neck that looked exactly like the ones he now wore-

Naruto, being 12, wasn't very clever when it came to understanding anyone, let alone the opposite sex, but, he began to make connections between the small acts of kindness, shyness, and timidness.

"Yeah. She likes you." Abyss smirked. "Even more than Outside did when she was pining for Ageha."

"Hey!" Amamiya snapped. "I didn't 'pine'."

"Yes you did! I was there every time, urging you to kiss him, or drag him off into a dark corner, but would you listen to me? Noooooooo!" Abyss taunted, before a glass spear shot from Amamiya's back and tried to gut her- only to be intercepted by a pair of black scythe-tipped ropes.

A black sphere, the size of a three-man tent, suddenly appeared at the intersection point between the twins, absorbing the attacks before shrinking into a grapefruit-size orb.

"Girls, no fighting within the mind of our descendent." Ageha was not very loud, but the sphere resonated to his every syllable.

The ropes of power receded into the girls skins in an eye blink.

"We're-". Naruto immediately got a headache trying to parse that last sentence.

"Where else would we be, shrimp?" Oh-Seven stated. "Incidentally, we're here."

They turned a corner, still floating, and where there was a wall, bars the size of towers were holding back something red and malevolent.

"My jailer finally shows himself." A rumbling voice that reminded Naruto of a windstorm, forest fire, thunderstorm, and earthquake all together barked from behind the bars. "Begone! Let me sleep."

"Kurama, don't you remember us?" Ageha asked, looking somewhat hurt.

"NO MORTAL KNOWS THAT NAME!" The voice roared/ rumbled/ screamed.

Ageha's eyes narrowed, and his body began to smoke. "You forgot me?" His body began to flicker with black fire, features subsuming into darkness that spoke of the death of stars, and space beyond the world. "You forgot me?!"

"Ohshit." Abyss and Amamiya muttered simultaneously, as they dragged Nemesis Q and Oh-Seven away from the bars, where head-sized black spheres began popping into existence.

"I AM THE BLACK KING!" Ageha roared. He had become unreal, a monster of humanity that appeared half ethereal and half black fire, crowned by black spikes of hair and a swirling cloud of orbiting marbles. "I BESTED YOUR FATHER, I BESTED YOU AND ALL YOUR SIBLINGS, AND I BESTED YOUR PREDECESSOR!"

The cloud of orbiting spheres shot into the bars, followed by Ageha, whose black claw-like hands hovered over spinning disks of darkness.

"Oh-Seven, can we have a shield?" Asked Amamiya.

"It is unnecessary." She stated, peering intently into the darkness. "Remember the way he dealt with the last spat with Kurama?"

"YOU WILL REMEMBER ME, VIXEN!" A massive explosion rocked the tunnel.

"Um..." Naruto flinched hen everyone looked at him. "That's the Nine-Tailed fox." He said, as if surrounded by particularly slow people. "No-one, not even the Fourth Hokage, just 'dealt' with the fox..." Sudden realization flashed over him. "The Nine-Tailed fox is inside my mind."

He fainted again.

When he woke up again, he didn't move- mostly to let his mind digest all the insane crap that had happened within the last few hours.

Then there was the, also insane, conversation between the Nine-Tailed Fox and Ageha- or was it the Black King?

"And remember that time when you blasted Shukaku's sand into glass? His whole body except his head?" Ageha was loudly laughing, as was a new feminine voice.

"And not two weeks later, Matatabi tried to seduce you!" The female voice cracked up. "Whereupon Oh-Seven punched her a few months into the future- straight through the glass sculpture that was Shukaku's!"

"Isonade never forgave her either- one of shards put out her eye!" Sputtered Ageha, barely able to breathe because he was laughing so hard.

Naruto opened his eyes, and pushed himself off Nemesis Q- then unceremoniously had to pull himself out of the water on the floor. "Wow, I did not think that through."

The tinkling voice of the new woman snapped at him. "Well, you rarely ever think, so I wouldn't expect much better of anything you ever do."

"Don't be so hard on the kid!" Snapped Ageha. "You saw how many shape-commands we had to remove before he could even think at this speed."

"Shape commands?" Naruto wondered aloud. "Do you mean seals?"

"Sure. Why not." Abyss muttered. "Degrade the name of over a hundred years of hard work on encoding commands miss fussy-britches implanted into her burst-constructs on a neural network scale into one word."

"And then the work needed to reverse-engineer that information into a working model of how Psi works on a fundamental level." Amamiya added, scowling. "Kids these days- no respect."

The twins giggled slightly, then collapsed laughing as they saw Naruto's eyes bulge.

"No." He said, deliberately ignoring the tittering twins. "I'm not dealing with them." He turned to the Ageha, who was sitting just outside the massive bars of what he could now see as a cage, and the woman sitting within the cage- who had 9 tails.

Ageha smiled, and patted empty air. "Come, sit with us. We have quite a bit to discuss... Grandson."

From the point of view of Iruka, Mizuki, and several ANBU, the air flashed red for a moment, becoming immovable, before vanishing away as if it had never happened. Then there was a surge of terrible, bottomless power- dark and clear, which every sensor-nin in the village and for several kilometers in every direction noticed, before... Nothing. Just a flare of power, and now silence.

The ANBU sped up.

Naruto smiled- a genuine smile, not one of his 'I am not sad, see?' smiles, but a genuine smile of peace. He looked around for a moment, before reaching towards the forbidden scroll- which leapt to his hand from several feet away.

Iruka didn't move. He knew that such tricks could be done with chakra strings, but most of the people who did that were ninja from the villages of hidden sand or hidden rock. Then he saw Naruto's eyes- the whites of his eyes were completely black.

"Hello Iruka-Sensei!" Naruto chuckled. "It looks like I got made a fool of, huh?" The scroll began to orbit around his head. "I mean, a secret exam- one that's almost a mission, no less, assigned by Mizuki, and-"

"Why are there bees?!" A voice screamed out from the forest, filled with terror and pain.

"-those would be the ANBU chasing me for perceived traitorous behavior- probably also were told by Mizuki that I stole it." Naruto shook his head sadly. "And they are running into all the traps. I mean, really? They didn't think I would cover my tracks with traps every few-"

The scream of "How the hell did he get a live badger into that?" was accompanied by snarls.

"- meters." He finished, plucking a smaller scroll out of the air.

Iruka took a few cautious steps forwards, wary of the fact that there was more and more debris hovering in the air and slowly orbiting around the blond. "Naruto, are you alright?" He asked carefully.

"What?" Naruto looked at him strangely, as though not really paying attention, before he focused on the teacher. "Oh- yeah. I'm fine. Here."

He twitched a finger, and the forbidden scroll suddenly accelerated towards Iruka, stopping just shy of touching him with a BOOM of displaced air.

Iruka gently took the scroll, and inserted it into a holster on his back just as his fellow teacher, Mizuki, appeared in the clearing, splattered in pink paint, as well as having several 'kick me' signs somehow attached to his body.

There was a massive wave of pressure at that moment, as the debris gently orbiting around Naruto suddenly dropped to the ground as /something/ pushed the grass away from him in a perfect sphere, just a little larger in diameter than he was tall.

"And here is the man of the hour- who is either a traitor to Konoha, or some sort of special agent of Jiji-sama's." The ground around Naruto compacted, just enough to throw up a small miasma of dust, even though his voice was conversational. "And I really doubt he could be a special agent of Jiji's- I mean, a mission to steal the Forbidden Scroll (that's with a capital F and S by the way) given to a child? Really?"

"Wow, you sure are dense kid." Mizuki said, as he made two hand-signs, and spit straight into the air, sending a torrent of water crashing up, then over himself, cleaning off the pink paint. "I was just going to take the scroll, kill you, and leave- but now you had to voice the fact that I might be a traitor to a chunin." He glanced sidelong at Iruka, who glared at him. "Even if it's Iruka, I mean really- this was going to be the easiest heist ever, and you are just standing there, talking to the dead body."

Iruka pulled out a few throwing stars, but Mizuki pulled the large windmill shuriken- a weapon that amounted to four large sword-blades connected around a ring, and, spinning the larger weapon, deflected all the thrown stars.

"And now he wants to take me down!" Mizuki laughed, before smirking at his fellow teacher. "Really Iruka? You could never beat me in a fight as a child, and now? You are in even worse shape than before!" He blurred in a Body Flicker, and brought his windmill shuriken down where Iruka had been-

But Naruto was now holding the man's jacket, having somehow moved the teacher so fast that Mizuki didn't even see the movement.

"Sorry about that Sensei." Naruto apologized, as Iruka began retching. "Jumping like that is always disorienting the first few times."

"No academy student could move that fast." Mizuki muttered, before laughing aloud, his eyes gleaming. "Well, you are the Kyubi brat!"

"No!" Iruka coughed, trying to get himself under control after whatever it was that Naruto just did. "The third's law-"

"I don't care for the third Hokage! I don't follow his orders, and I never will!" Mizuki snapped. "Naruto- have you ever wondered why-"

"- the civilians hated me, and most of the ninjas as well?" Naruto cocked his head slightly. "Yes, I know, I contain the Kyubi. We had a nice, long chat a few minutes ago, you know- rather nice for a continent-destroying superbeing." He said in a conversational tone. "Once you get past all the 'I'm going to crush you and all you love' stuff." He smiled at Iruka, in a just-somehow relaxing manner. "Don't worry- the fox is going to stay right where she is for the time being."

He turned back to Mizuki, who had the shuriken cocked to throw. "I wouldn't do that if I were you, Sensei." He smiled. "After all, I learned a technique from the Forbidden Scroll..."

"Damned fox!" Mizuki spat. "You... You are wearing a human face, telling us you are safely tucked away like... Like a kunai in a scroll! Everyone knows a baby can't contain the Kyubi!"

"Everyone?" Naruto grinned widely, the concussive sphere contracting slightly. "I have not met 'everyone' yet, but most people, well... A person can be smart- but people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals." He flexed his fingers, and... Nothing visible happened. "Still, I feel like we have been talking too much tonight."

"Fucking fox- die!" Mizuki threw the windmill shuriken straight at Naruto, who vanished.

And appeared right behind Mizuki,

Then the wave hit the chunin. The thunderclap was like a solid wall running straight into him, his brain and body unable to keep up with whatever just happened to him as many of the more... Solid structures in his body cracked, his chakra unable to withstand the titanic impact of effectively standing in the shockwave of a boy-sized Mach 4 projectile.

Naruto breathed out, ratcheting his Psi balance from being primarily 'Rise' (85% Rise, 10% Burst, 5% Trance) to his standard equilibrium (64% Burst, 31% Rise, 5% Trance), and rubbing feeling back into his fingers. Then, he gently lifted Mizuki's broken, but still living (judging by the fact he was trying to scream and failing), body in a gentle grip of Burst-Psi, and turned to Iruka. "Sensei?"

The chunin looked like his ghasts were well and truly flabbered. "Naruto... What just happened?"

"I should probably wait to answer that question until the ANBU have escorted us to Jiji-sama." Naruto formed a cros-shaped hand-seal, and several shadow clones popped into existence. They shouldered the chunin, and all six Naruto looked at the woods- where a masked ANBU stumbled out of the treeline, covered in eggs and with a badger glued to his crotch via it's teeth.

Iruka looked a little concerned at the badger's placement. "Doesn't that hurt, ANBU-san?"

"Beyond imagining." Squeaked out the professional ninja. "But if I know badgers, then tying to pry it off should wait until a professional looks at me."

Every Naruto rubbed the back of their heads, looking sheepish. "Sorry ANBU-san. I wanted to secure the clearing." He was trying valiantly not to laugh at the sound of a usually macho ninja who was apparently breathing helium.

The other ANBU came out of the woods, some walking gingerly, others obvious glaring at Naruto, even behind their masks. All of them covered in something that would usually be embarrassing. Still, these were professionals, so most of them shot off a quick water technique to clean themselves.

The squad of ninja, all of them save the badger-crotch man having washed away the traces of Naruto's traps, took Mizuki from the shadow clones, who dispelled themselves immediately.

"Captain!" Badger-crotch squeaked. "Permission to disengage and report to the hospital!"

"Granted." The ANBU with a Bear mask stated.

Everyone watched as Badger-Crotch left the clearing- then laughed as a scream was heard as the poor ninja triggered another trap, having been unwilling to test a high-speed ninja technique while sharp teeth were locked onto his crotch.

Bear-mask looked at Naruto, who grinned sheepishly. "Naruto, can you please disarm us a path?"

Naruto, also known as the Prankster King of Konoha, reached towards a tree trunk, and pulled a wire that was nestled in a fold in the bark. There was a twanging sound, and the forest erupted with noise as various animals were released, paint splattered, and feathers were released from buckets.

It was at this point that Naruto's nose began to bleed, and he fell over. "Oh crap..." He said, as he fell. Then, slightly muffled (because he had fallen face-first into a log), he said "I think I may have overdone it..."

The ANBU had to carry him back.

The staff at the hospital were fairly concerned when they managed to get the badger off- it had been chewing.

End Chapter 1

I hope everyone enjoyed the first chapter of Midnight Fox (Renamed to Pitch Black). It is an idea that popped into my head a while ago, and I was surprised no-one did something similar (a Psyren/Naruto crossover).

I have a story plan from his first 'mission' (this chapter') all the way through the chunin exams, and I am open to suggestions on how to get him there.

Before you ask, yes, there will be Sasuke/Kakashi/Others bashing, mostly because of the way that they were portrayed in cannon. The cannon people DESERVE bashing from my perspective, and some people deserve happy-ish endings. These people are ninja, remember? You will get a glimpse in what goes on behind the scenes here.

They will get them, even if I have write several hundred thousand words to break that pathetic world that calls itself the 'Elemental Nations'.
