The Savior: War of the Worlds Trilogy: Part 1: From Demon to Father
Prologue
Those that are hunted and unfortunate
In a massive expanse of wild nature on a primitive world everything was peaceful and nature was singing it's songs at this time when the sun, glowing a hazy orange started to nod off and sleep below the horizon, the sky in a rare spike of inspiration painted a beautiful painting more than worthy of Picasso with reds, oranges, pinks, and purples without a cloud in sight to obscure your view. With this in mind you would think this is pure paradise and nothing could go wrong even if you were for some reason looking for it. Unfortunately not everyone could sit back and enjoy this view even if they helped create it and was very much a part of it just like everyone else.
'Who are these men that are chasing me' a creature desperately thought as it flew through the twilight sky. Six figures running on land where chasing after this mysterious flying creature.
This creature was not any ordinary being, it was a being with intelligence far superior to any human or animal out there.
Figure one was a tall man cloaked in complete black clothing with his face shrouded as well, he was leading his team of similarly dressed people in pursuit of this creature.
'Six targets all who wield the powers of the gate guardians they must want my power, but for what?' a distinctively feminine voice thought. The flying wonder was distracted by these thoughts as well as trying to escape that she did not even notice when figure one simply blinked out of existence and appeared a couple hundred feet in front of her.
The creature was startled by this and was forced to come to a stop flapping its titanic wings creating gale force winds due to this simple gesture that most with wings would not think twice about. The man was not fazed by the fierce winds that were kicked up, instead he seemed bold and started to walk forward getting ready to speak up for the first time.
"Lady Sōkyoku, the phoenix of live and guardian of the living, we are here to capture you, do not make this hard on yourself, we do not want to have to use more force than that is necessary, after all we want you in relatively good condition" said the cloaked figure as he took another step towards the majestic bird that hovered in front of him.
At this rather bold request Sōkyoku narrowed her bright green eyes at the tiny man in front of her. "Oh! This is rather interesting is it not, now why would the condemned gate guardians want me for? Humph!" Said Sōkyoku while gazing down at the tiny insect compared to her in size.
"Trust me what we need you for can all be explained soon enough if you just come with us." Said the figure as yet again he continues to walk forward with confident steps not in the lease intimidated by the fact that he is completely and utterly dwarfed by the massive bird in front of him to the point that along with him the surrounding area is covered by her shadow.
As this was happening the other five members of this man's team were quietly moving into position around the great phoenix who momentarily forgot about their presence. This however is not the best of choices to make.
"I am a free spirit child, I will not be commanded to go anywhere with you who would go so far as to chase me down instead of just approaching me civilized with manners! Now be gone from here I have no interest in any of your plans!" Sōkyoku all but yell at the man in front of her as she was preparing to fly again having lost any and all patience with him having had to fly for three hours straight without rest trying to shake the pest that were annoying her.
The man in front of her stiffened at her tone and quickly became agitated by her attitude and made it known "Hold it right there! You're coming with us and your choice no longer applies to this situation" the man said in a raised voice. With that being said before the bird could counter with her own remark the man made a hand jester and Sōkyoku was suddenly aware of several significant spikes of energy that was foul in nature.
The six men surged their energy around their target and created a barrier around the majestic bird that began to sap her of her energy and at the same time hit her with massive bolts of lightning to further weaken her.
Sōkyoku let out a great shriek of pain that shook the surrounding land that brought her crashing to the ground. The men were now confident and began to pour more of their energy to the seal but something unexpected happened Sōkyoku started to get back to her feet in a brilliant show of power and defiance. When you look at her you see that her chest has a massive black charred spot on it exposing burnt skin and feathers and her left wing was severely burnt and was sagging a little bit in the air compared to her right wing.
"You have no idea who you are dealing with do you! You pest you could of walked away from this foolish endeavor but you ignorance will be your downfall! You know of my power and even seek it out but yet cannot comprehend its greatness! You fool! You want my power than allow me to demonstrate it to you!" yelled out Sōkyoku.
At this point she crossed her massive wings across her body in a downward position and spun twice while rising in the air before unfolding her titanic size wings and spreading them out wide all the while building up an enormous amount of holy energy in her body.
As this was taking place the men became startled by this turn of events and could not prepare for what happened next. Sōkyoku unleashed her pent up energy at the apex of her climb with a shout of Phoenix Rising!
POV
As Sōkyoku climbed into the air her mind was full of thoughts 'how could they have so much power and why come after me knowing I could kill them? Never mind the fact they knew where to find me. Well than I will have to severely hurt them and fast so that I can plan out what to do next and hopefully capture them and get to the bottom of this.'
With this in mind Sōkyoku unleashed her energy in a magnificent display of power.
Sōkyoku with a finally grunt of exertion yelled out "Phoenix Rising". The Sky was lit up in a bright light as the whole continent shook at her display of power. A wall of fire ignited on the ground and lifted up into the air to stand at a rather impressive height of sixty feet and surged out to the surrounding shield and with a little resistance shattered the wall that had entrapped her. The fire wall continued to travel for a mile till it dissipated.
At this point of time the feathers on Sōkyoku wings burst into crimson flames as they flew through the air leaving fiery red trails in the sky as they fell and struck the surrounding area ahead of the fire wall like meteors leaving giant craters in the ground.
When this was all over Lady Sōkyoku was left in a massive crater spanning a mile in diameter with the ground completely scorched surrounding that was pot marked with mini craters big and small.
"Huff, huff, huff… I haven't had to use my power in such a direct way in a very long time. I almost feel a little out of shape …huff, huff." Said Sōkyoku as she talked to herself about what she thought in her head as she tried to regain her breath.
Unknown Location
In a dark cave in an unmarked location a great red eye slowly opened up to the world and took in its surroundings, seeing the bare cave without a soul in sight. The roof of the cave having nothing but stalagmites hanging precariously over the ground.
After doing a little sightseeing the being opened up its ears to the void that is peace and quiet, hearing nothing but the constant repetition of little droplets of water hitting the ground in another section of the cave.
After taking in all the surroundings had to offer which is very little to say the lease the being opened its mouth to say only a little; "Always the show off, looks like a certain someone is trying to relive the good old days. How stupid."
With this being said the being settled down while thinking 'although always the show off, I can't help but wonder what could have caused her to release her power in such a way after all this time, after all we haven't been needed by anyone in a long time? Oh well she will seek me out soon enough if she requires my help… yet again as always.'
With those final thoughts on the matter at hand the being slowly closed off its eye to the world to go back to its self-imposed exile and hibernation all the while being put to sleep by the sound of dripping water in the far of distance.
With Sōkyoku
'Did that get them?' thought Sōkyoku as she took in her surroundings only to see six particular craters with a dark glowing shield around them that is severely cracked and ready to fall apart any second. At that moment Sōkyoku new without any doubt that they belonged to her pursuers and would be capturers.
With the Shadow Group
The leader of the team was the first to get up after being on the receiving end to such a devastating counter attack. "What happened we were prepared, that barrier should have kept her in and that thunder bolt should have kept her grounded? I don't understand this at all? Why? Why?" the leader growled out as he also to this short reprieve to take a look around and was greeted with the same sight all those on this battle field would be soon see. "If we did not acted when we did we would be nothing more than ashes right now, humph perhaps we would not be even that." The leader theorized to himself as he set his sights to the giant phoenix to his far left.
Out of the corner of his eye he could see the rest of his team also get up and they looked completely thrashed and banged up. Yet somehow they retained enough of their left over energy to teleport to his side. As this was happening he returned his attention to the large Phoenix that just regained its breath.
He took in her appearance, Sōkyoku is a giant phoenix with a large head, a bronze sharp beak with a Moe hawk like head of feathers with five large and long distinctive feathers sticking out, her feet also bronze in color, her body a little bit muscular, then her massive wings that have three rows of feathers; her tail feathers being large in size as well with three absolutely massive long feathers the size of small buildings; all in all she is titanic in size with from tip to tip of her wings she is one mile wide and five hundred feet tall.
He took all of this in and notice from that on her body there was a large burn marks on her chest and left wing from where the lightning bolt hit her, but other than that she looked a little worst for were with only a couple of scratches and marks on her body from when she hit the ground.
"Heh heeh hah ahh haaaaaaaaah! This is just great! *giggle* now what are we going to do? How are we going to capture her when all she will do is regenerate?" The Leader said while laughing out loud. By this point he was grabbing his hair and pulling on it in a bout of confusion and a hint of insanity.
"Sir we must retreat for now, the side effects from leaving the gate for too long are starting to take"- one of the other members of the squad said before being cut off as he was violently pushed to the ground by his wayward leader.
"Hear me now Lady Sōkyoku I will capture you! You hear me! My name is Idate kiseki and I will deliver you to my master!" The now named Idate screamed out at the top of his lungs.
Sōkyoku upon hearing this narrowed her eyes and started to think about all that has happened, at this point things started to fit together in her head and things started to become clear to her on what was really happening and so she voice her findings.
"I see so you are not the true gate guardians are you? No, you must be the prisoners, but now the question is how you could get out, and more importantly how did you kill and impersonate the real gate guardians?" Sōkyoku theorized out loud. "Also I can only guess who your master, or should I say Masters are. If that is the case then I will have no choice but to kill you all right here and now!" Sōkyoku gathered her energy to prepare for another attack.
"I cannot let your masters walk among the living or the dead, they will forever be a prisoner in purgatory." Sōkyoku opened her beak towards them.
The man that suggested they retreat saw this coming and was able to jump away in time.
"Phoenix Fire" yelled Sōkyoku as she unleashed a massive flame thrower of white hot flames that hit the ground that was already battered by her previous attacked as it tracked across the ground and hit the team and leader head on killing four of the members and severely injuring the last two knocking them down. Sōkyoku was left huffing as she looked out at the scorched ground around her after her two devastating attacks and how this area will likely not grow back for maybe fifty years. 'If 'they' are pulling the strings then potentially all of reality could be in danger, after all there is a reason those pest were sealed away forever.' MusedSōkyoku to herself.
'I need to inform my sister of this interesting turn of events. One of two thing could happen; both me and my sister could investigate this matter are selves or we take the safe choice and alert the other Gods and Angels to this emergency and deal with this mess permanently. The choice is pretty easy to make, now to get my sister.' Sōkyoku thought to herself. She took another look around to battle field looking for her would be kidnappers and when she saw the charred dead bodies of four of the men she immediately grew suspicious as to where the last two were. When she saw them making a break for it towards the nearby forest she gave chase.
Sōkyoku stretched her massive wings out with a wince and twitch of pain and gave chase after them. With her large size she easily caught up to them. The two men one being carried by the other took to hiding in the trees and bushes as they made their way through the rough foliage in their escape from the mighty bird chasing them. Sōkyoku with a bird's eye view of her pray (pun very much intended) began sending down Wind enhanced feather's on fire at the duo as they ran. The leader Idate was in a lot of pain as he looked up into the sky to see the deadly attack coming at them fast. "Suzaku put me down and run now! Idate said to the now named Suzaku in a brief moment in sanity. As the feathers rained downed on them Suzaku put up the strongest barrier he could make. The feathers peppered his barriers as white streaks bounced off his shield into the surrounding trees and bushes blasting the bark of the trees and setting the bushes on fire.
Sōkyoku growled as she clearly saw her feathers get deflected away from their shield, it was starting to sting her pride a little bit as this was the third attack of hers that her enemies survived and because of that she became angered a little as she sent down wave after wave of feather attacks that battered her enemies and the surrounding area. Finally after she stopped her attacks she saw them pinned down by a bunch of trees giving them cover from her. With a grunt of exertion she built up her holy energy again for the same attack to finally destroy her enemies "Dance of the Crimson Phoenix Feathers: Phoenix White Meteor Showers" yelled out Sōkyoku as she sent down another barrage of concentrated white hot phoenix feathers at her targets completely destroying the clearing they were in sending up a large dust cloud into the air obscuring the view of the sky and ground vice versa.
On the Ground
'Is she done?' both team members thought at the same time as the climbed out of the hole they were pretty much drilled losing his grip on sanity again looked around and marveled at his opponent's destructive capabilities and could not help but giggle madly and pulled out a strange pale yellow stone with a bright yellow lightning bolt symbol in the middle of it. Suzaku looked at him strangely and asked him what he had in his hand. "Sir what is that thing, I have never seen something like that before? But more importantly we must leave now we don't stand a chance against her! Suzaku pleaded with his leader after his initial inquire.
"Oh nothing much here *giggle* just a little present for our resident little birdy *giggle*. Idate managed to say between his giggling fit. At this point he surged his potent dark energy into the stone and watched in morbid fascination as it turned a dark violet with a dark yellow lightning bolt in the middle, with that being complete he pointed the stone straight into the air were he just knew without a doubt Sōkyoku would be and released his volatile power at point blank with a demented look on his face as he yelled out "that is some very destructive power you got there, but let's see if you can handle this!" "Dark Lightning!"
The power came out of the stone in the form of a truly massive lightning bolt that was purplish in color.
With Sōkyoku
She was waiting for the dust to go away as due to the flapping of her wings when she heard that shout of the crazed man. Then she sensed it, a massive buildup of foul dark energy but before she could react or much less move her world exploded in pain as the lighting attack slammed into her taking her out of the sky and crashing to the ground below. "What was that?" Sōkyoku asked to herself as she struggled to her feet. What she saw when she looked down at her opponents pissed her off to no end, the little insect was laughing at her. Indeed it was true Idate was cackling with laughter at his successful hit on her that caused her pain and a lot of it too. As she looked at herself her once pristine red and crimson feathers were burnt black and swollen as her entire body was in tremendous pain as some of her nerve receptors were shot; as well as her previous injuries again being subjected to this brutal assault. "You think this is funny do you? Well then you will soon not be laughing when I'm through with you boy. You will pay for that!" With that being yelled out by Sōkyoku she built up a staggering amount of holy energy as she violently pushed of the ground and took to the sky. When she did this all around her on the ground the forests bloomed into massive flash fires that started to rage uncontrollably. While in the sky her whole body burst into magnificent flames and then started to concentrate around her beak as she took aim at her enemies. "Now be consumed by my white flames and die. Phoenix Fire: Alpha Force!"
At this point a massive flame thrower came out of her mouth as the sheer power of releasing such an attack created a shock wave that knocked down all the trees in the area as well as her adversaries as the white flame thrower soared through the sky towards the ground at high speed. When it hit the ground it hit with a bang as it incinerated everything in its path completely destroying the forest for miles around and setting even more on fire. 'This is not good, this has completely gotten far out of hand. To force me to use this much power is truly impressive. But I must face facts I'm dull and rusty, back in the height of the war just a single feather attack would have completely obliterated them with ease. I must get back into shape as this will not do.' Were the thoughts of Sōkyoku as she contemplated the huge drain in her power, stamina, and energy?
After a few minutes of waiting around she did not see any sign of life as most of it was burned away by her incinerating white flames. "Ok I think I have overstayed my welcome here" Sōkyoku said to herself as she turned and left the area to a place that had not been touched by her powerful flames unaware of the two figures steathfully following her. During her flight her Accelerated Regeneration kicked in healing her severe wounds from her battle.
'I need to inform my sister of these turn of events as I can't seem to communicate with her via my telepathy like I usually do.' With those thoughts Sōkyoku gathered her energy again for the day and shot a large pitch black ball of space/time energy in front of her and it formed into a small portal, way too small in fact for her large body to fit into. "What? Am I really that low on power that I can't even make a decent portal?" Sōkyoku asked indignantly as she was a little miffed at this small revelation. "I will have to take on my humanoid form just to fit" Sōkyoku said and with that she burst into flames and started to shrink until she was in the form of a small girl no older than ten years of age. "My most favorite form of all heh heeh." Sōkyoku giggled out in a very distinctive small child like voice that held an aristocratic and wise tone in it.
In her human form Sōkyoku was a small girl no older than ten with white silky smooth skin with a light tan to it, rich blonde hair cascades down her head to sit firmly on her shoulders with bangs covering her ears from view, a massive pink bow sat firmly in her hair holding up her bangs but leaving her forehead exposed to the world, twin crystal clear pools of blue sat on her face below her forehead that took in the sights of the world around her with childlike wonder that was further enhanced by a small but firm nose and a small thin mouth that helped finish off her face. As for her clothing she is wearing a big dress that hides her body from view starting at her neck she wears a white dress of flowing silk that has frills going around her neck a red bow tie finishes off this section, over that she wears a second dress that is three inches smaller than the first, sea green poufy material draped her shoulders as it thinned out by her elbows to end at her wrists in frills of white. Around her waist was white silky cloth tied around her back in a large white bow. The back portion of her shorter dress had the same sea green color while the front half was a bluish white with frills at the bottom. To finish this whole ensemble off Sōkyoku is wearing the same bluish color stockings to match her dress and truly expensive looking midnight blue classic Mary Jane shoes with a lustrous patent leather design with grosgrain trim, a strap and suede-covered button closure. With this complete look Sōkyoku gives off an air of a being with the blood of a European princess taken straight from the nobles of royal families.
"Huh, something's missing" Sōkyoku mused to herself before it hit her and with a simple snap of her finger a brown teddy bear was sitting comfortably in her arms with a green collar around its neck. With the extra weight in her arms her left arm started to throb in great pain "Oh come on arm please heal already this pain in unbearable, I haven't had to deal with this much pain in a long time. Also the pain in my chest is killing me, it's making it hard to breathe." Sōkyoku complained to herself out loud as she had to slowly make her was to the portal so as not to upset her slowly healing injuries.
"Ok now I can leave" and with that she turned to her portal and prepared to step through it when she heard motion coming from the path behind her and as she turned around she saw Suzaku stumbling out of the surrounding forest completely on his last leg with scorch marks on his body bruises and burns littered his face and body and his breaths came out short and ragged.
"Hold it right there, I thought it was made perfectly clear that you would be coming with us. Suzaku managed to get out through short breaths. "You mean coming with you?" Sōkyoku said to him in a haughty voice "because the last time I checked you are the last of your team" at this point Sōkyoku was the person with a smirk on her face as she saw the brief look of irritation cross Suzaku's face. "Oh? And the last I checked you thought the same thing of us and look were that got you; badly injured and low on energy, you even have to resort to using your human form. With that jab at her Sōkyoku's smirk got wiped off her face only to be replaced with a scowl.
"Though I must say you are really cute and can only imagine what you would look like in an adult form, after all you rarely if ever take on your human form when others are around." He would have said more if he did not have to jump out of his skin as the tree mark next to his head exploded in a shower of sparks as there was a new burn mark in the tree bark. When he turn to face her he saw her delicate and manicured hand outstretched with her fingers in the position of a person snapping.
"If there is one thing I hate in this world more than anything else it would be pedophiles and rapists like you. Those that pray on the weak or try to manipulate others are the scum of existence and I personally make it my mission to incinerate people like you whenever I see them; balance and consequences be damned." Sōkyoku said. The look on her face went from a scowl to a full blown face filled with utter disgust and distain.
"Oh, it would seem I hit a sensitive nerve here." Suzaku said after regaining his bearings. "But don't worry after my masters get done harvesting your power perhaps they will let me keep you and we can have a lot of fu"—
Suzaku was interrupted again for the third time today, but this time it was because of an expensive shoe to the face as he was kicked so hard he flew through three trees and crashed into the fourth. "You disgusting excuse of a man when I get through with you I will erase you from existence!" Sōkyoku screamed out as she glared at the man. "Come on and try it." Suzaku said darkly as he stood up from leaning against the tree. With this taunt Sōkyoku kicked off the ground in an impressive burst of speed and cleared the distance between them in seconds. Sōkyoku appeared in front of Suzaku with her right fist already blurring straight for his face when he ducked the punch and aimed one for her stomach that she blocked with her forearm. With his punch blocked he grabbed onto her wrist with the bear in it causing her to wince in pain and pulled her close to bring his knee into her gut, or he would have if Sōkyoku had not raised her foot at the last moment and put it on his knee and use it as a point to push off of and twirl in the air for a round house kick while wrenching her arm free of his grip. The kick landed right in the middle of his chest cracking his already bruised ribs and sending him flying once again, but this time he flipped in midair to land on his feet.
"Well then looks like we got ourselves a fighter" Suzaku said with a wicked grin on his face and a lick of his lips. Angered by this Sōkyoku blurred out of existence in a show of unrivalled speed and appeared right beneath Suzaku to delivered a devastating kick with both her feet on fire to his groin followed by a rising kick to his chin with such tremendous force that it snapped his neck and sent him flying through the air to hit the middle of a tree on the other side of the clearing. With gravity taking effect his lifeless body fell to the ground with a thud. "Huff, huff, huff, disgusting man. I'll burn his body for this." Sōkyoku said between panting breaths as you could hear the distain clearly in her voice. However before she could do anything she saw and felt the malevolent energy surround Suzaku's dead body and began lifting it into the air to stand upright.
Sōkyoku narrowed her eyes at this as she realize what was going on "Soul Puppet Resurrection" Sōkyoku muttered under her breath as she saw the spectacle before her. "You will be mine Sōkyoku, you and your sister will be mine." A dark voice said in place of Suzaku's as Sōkyoku felt a presence she had only felt once in her incredibly long life time. "You!" Sōkyoku yelled out in surprise. "I had a feeling you were behind this, you would think after all this time you would give up trying to escape purgatory after all that place suits you just too well." Sōkyoku growled out between clenched teeth as she sent a death glare to the being inhabiting that dead body. "Come on now baby, I was under the impression that we had something special ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" the mysterious entity said to Sōkyoku with a sick laugh that would wrench your stomach. "There is absolutely nothing between us you sick freak! I am going to kill you the next time we meet and I will do it without mercy!"
"Such words coming from the guardian of life, but more importantly such a sweet girl such as you; but what can you do I guess I will have to beat you to the point your impressive auto regeneration won't help heal you, but don't worry I will just have you severely incapacitated not killed." With that being said the voice stopped talking and Suzaku's body lunged at her with his body moving through the air like a puppet. Sōkyoku geared up for another round of fighting as she began to dodge and trade blows with the lifeless corpse. During the fight Sōkyoku started to get pushed back as she was slowly starting to get overwhelmed by the fact the body was attacking her at odd angles, her fatigue was starting to catch up to her as well as the fact that her left arm was pretty much useless as it was only good enough to hold her trade mark teddy bear whenever she was in human form. However Sōkyoku would not be deterred and quickly showed that she was far superior in hand to hand combat as she started to trade blows with her adversary at an increasing rate as she was starting to push the dead body back.
In a recent exchange of fists Sōkyoku managed to get into the body's guard to deliver a devastating elbow that was engulfed in white flames to the ribs while throwing her bear at Suzaku's face followed up by a flying double jump kick that she used to put some distance between them as her bear suddenly blew up in a medium size blast at point blank range. When she landed on the ground Sōkyoku released a large fireball at Suzaku's position "Phoenix Fire: Great Fireball." With the combined power of these two separate events it led to a bigger explosion that rocked the area. Sōkyoku was left with her right hand leaning against the nearest tree for support as she was left heavily panting and out of breath as she exhausted her already low energy.
Suddenly her senses screamed at her but it was too late as she was to slow to react. Two hands came from around the tree and grabbed her around the waist pulling her and pinning her to the tree as she saw a badly burnt body suddenly appear in front of her with a lance made out of Dark volatile energy in hand and plunged it straight into her already injured chest causing her to stain her dress and to cough up blood. Her vision was blurred as she struggled to free herself from the precarious position she found herself in but it was not to be easy; however she would not give up and upon seeing her freedom in the form of her portal still open she found a new surge of strength and with that she viciously kicked the body in front of her, she then took the dark energy lance and savagely pulled it out of her chest and then used it to stab the body with the hands around her waist through the tree releasing her completely from their grasps.
However Sōkyoku's hasty and reckless actions left her mortally wounded as she quickly found her vision fading in and out as she was losing blood fast with her Auto Regeneration working over time trying desperately to heal her grievous wounds.
Sōkyoku's hearing however even while dizzy was able to hear tree more foot falls hit the ground in the clearing letting her know that all six members of the shadow team were surrounding her and that she would have to fight just to make it out alive. Sōkyoku felt those corpse's form more volatile energy constructs and new she had to act fast to save herself severe injury. Sōkyoku surged her potent holy energy through her burnt and badly strained body to her upper back where magnificent white flames came out and took the shape of angel wings. "I won't be giving up so easily, Dance of the Crimson Phoenix Feathers: Phoenix Feather Storm!" Out of her fiery wings came over a thousand crimson feathers that flew throughout the clearing in a cyclone formation, when the feathers came into contact with an object it was subjected to third degree burns the attack was accompanied by a major gust of wind that when it hit the feathers stuck to objects caused them to spontaneous combust into white flames. The combination of fire and wind in this devastatingly simple yet complex attack showed off Sōkyoku's mastery over the elements phoenix's are known for as it lifted the six assailants off the ground and violently flung them through the air to crash into boulders and trees at the edge of the clearing.
"Huff, huff, that should give me some ti"- Sōkyoku was saying before she had to abruptly side step a falling axe kick from a crudely bisected torso? As she in her opinion executed that sloppy side step she then had to back flip out of the way of a low sweep by another body. When she landed she to a quick assessment of the situation all the while holding her hand to her chest as her lungs were burning for precious oxygen. One in front of her as well as a bisected pair of legs and lower body; three coming from her left exposed weak spot; and one coming from behind her to her dominant right along with an upper torso leaking guts and blood as it viciously crawled towards her at an alarming rate of speed.
Sōkyoku felt all of them coming as she closed her eyes to the world and entered into a state of meditative peace, with that out of the way she quickly snapped open her eyes and instead of being twin colored pools of crystal clear azure, they were a dazzling and shocking shade of dark emerald of her true form that seemed to hold eons of experience and overwhelming power. Her hands and feet ignited into powerful white flames as she took a bold confident fighting stance despite her many injuries. When they finally reached into here range she struck with lightning fast strikes. 'Three, two, one, NOW! Sōkyoku counted down in her head as she was the one to start off this next round in this long battle with vigor.
Her hands and feet were nothing but a fiery blurs as she blocked, parried, and outright attacked her enemy's with vicious intensity and accuracy.
She had to drop to one knee as a fist blasted through the space her head once occupied, she quickly spun on her feet swiping the legs out of two of her opponents, quickly balancing into a handstand on her good arm she sent out a powerful helicopter kick that sent those to unlucky zombie puppets away. Flipping into the air upright she twirled in midair while snapping her fingers causing two more shadow bodies to burst into flames. Landing on the ground she was assaulted by the bottomless corpse as it repeatedly jumped into the air to aim quick jabs at Sōkyoku due to her short height its punches passed by her head by inches as she struggled to dodge the unorthodox attacks. Just when it seemed like there would be an opening for her to exploit the corpse jumped at her mid-section, its skull bashing her square in her bruised chest knocking both her down to the ground and the air out of her lungs.
Without air in her lungs Sōkyoku struggled to free herself from the corpses grasp its bodily fluids and guts leaking onto her dress ruining it even further. However Sōkyoku was not worried about this as the second air started to travel to her lungs she used her Wind Control to rapidly fill her lungs and then she used her feet to kick the body off of her into the air while back flipping onto her feet.
Sadly the air was blasted from her lungs yet again as she was hit with a devastating straight punch to her chest covered in volatile energy that sent her drilling through two trees and into a bolder breaking three of her ribs. "Uhhh! I can't keep this up much longer or else I really will be killed or captured. I must go all out and completely obliterate them before they end up killing me." Sōkyoku wheezed out as she slowly climbed out of the impression she made in the boulder. As she moved she felt her ribs jostle in her chest as the pain she was in was unbearable and something she only felt during the Great Holy War and 'that' time. 'It would seem that they are trying to incapacitate me by continuously striking me in my chest and what's worse is that my Auto Regeneration is not healing me fast enough almost like my powers are being limited or blocked. It must be that blasted man messing with my powers to make it easier for him to capture me, it would also explain my drastic drop in power and my poor decision making throughout this fight.'
With these thoughts swirling around in her head she took the chance to look herself over as she could see them rapidly approaching her. What she saw pissed her off her dress was ruined beyond repair as it had blood and guts all over herself changing her dress color from white to blood red as she also noticed that it had several large gashes and cuts all over it with large tears in the seems to make it completely ruined, the fabric around her chest area was completely blown of and seared as you could she her naked skin that was black and blue with charred shin and third degree burns that messed up her perfect unblemished skin.
With more anger to fuel her power Sōkyoku pushed herself to her limit in the next few minutes in a last bit gamble to survive using up the last of her strength in her elemental attacks.
"Phoenix Interceptor Style: Blaze Propulsion!" Sōkyoku's feet ignited into flames as she kicked off the ground at mindboggling speeds as she covered the distance between them in milliseconds with the only indication of her ever moving being the flaming foot prints on the ground trailing her. The second she was in front of the lead corpse she already had her attack ready for it "Phoenix Interceptor Style: Phoenix Falling Flower Bomb!" Sōkyoku hit the puppet zombie with a devastating close line as her whole arm was covered in an combination of her destructive white flames and light based magic, the force of her then slamming him into the ground caused a small tremor as the ground was cratered with the corpse completely incinerated to ashes. Before the other corpses could attack Sōkyoku was already on the move appearing behind the half corpses and its bottom torso and already had both her hands cocked back "Phoenix Interceptor Style: Double Blaze Punch!" Sōkyoku unloaded two devastating punches to both halves of the corpse completely destroying them as well.
Despite the unbearable pain and not to mention the strain on her Holy magical reserves she was not only seemingly enjoying the fight but she came to a startling revelation that she has not moved this fast or fought this hard since she left the war behind.
With that thought in mind it went on like that for the next thirty seconds with Sōkyoku flashing around the battle field devastating the corpses until they were all gone except for Suzaku's corpse that manage to survive semi intact; but with Sōkyoku caught up in the moment she did not realize this and with the last of her strength leaving her she used the last drop to combine her Super Speed ability with her Blaze Propulsion, further showing off her prowess to cross the gap between the battle field and the still open portal with her powers failing her right before she reached it. However that would not stop her as with the last of her adrenalin and strength she ran straight into the portal without looking back, that will be her final mistake however.
On the Battle Field
"No you will not escape me Sōkyoku, I've waited to long for this! Get back here!" That dark voice screamed out as it was still in possession of Suzaku's body and it reached up and pointed his decayed and burnt palm to the portal in the distance and formed a dark ball of pitch black energy and fired it ending its possession of the body that could no longer move.
WithSōkyoku
She faintly heard it but it was far too late she was hit right in the middle of her chest as she turned around at the last millisecond to see who screamed as it brought her out of her blurry haze of trying to escape and the adrenalin of the fight. Pain. Agonizing pain is all Sōkyoku could feel as she was flung threw the portal and off the path she was supposed to be taking as it was violently ripped away from her as the Pitch blank energy severely destabilized the Time/Space portal causing her to be lost as the vortex of energy tore at her body and all she knew was darkness.
Synapse – Dimension of the Fallen Angels
The Synapse is a massive pocket dimension situated between heaven and the mortal realms, within the Synapse it is a vast void filled with an endless bright blue skies and clouds. There is no 'ground' per say in this dimension as if you were to fall you would end up at the dimensional Time/Space portal that is at the bottom of the dimension, this portal connects the synapse to the surrounding dimensions and vice versa. Instead of a solid piece of 'ground' to freely walk on the synapse host's hundreds of floating islands, some of which are organic in the fact that it is covered in fertile grass and forest with running water in the form of streams, rivers, and lakes. However others are metallic and artificially created for the sole purpose of housing large facilities that seemed to mostly be in ruin.
That however is not really the case at all, because not only are those buildings fully operational but other islands host large palaces with extravagant decor fit for kings.
The Synapse is not a desolate world though as there is a small group of rouge individuals that call this place home. They are called fallen Angels and they are beings who have fallen out of grace, giving in to their greed or going against the will of their Gods. They are characterized by their different colored wings compared to normal obedient angels, instead of the creamy white color of normal angels they have pitch black wings signifying their allegiance and what sets them apart from the others. Those that disobey their god are cast out of heaven and lose their protection and most important abilities such as their Halo.
A Halo is a golden ring that floats above an angel's head that grants them some of their most important abilities and attributes such as: the ability to Generate Light Energy Constructs and Generate Light Burst's and Control Light Energy that are pure and untainted; Hope Projection the ability to cast an aura around a mortal being that will boost their moral and banish the feelings of negativity and despair in their hearts; the important ability of Wish Granting that allows them to grant the wish of a mortal upon their God's command; and perhaps their most important ability their right to Immortality making them vulnerable to being killed off by old age, disease's as well as by mortal hands.
The only way's to kill an Angel is to cut its head off, destroy its halo, rip out its wings to its roots, or stab it in the heart. Keep in mind the only way it would work though is if they fall at the hands of a being using Generate Volatile Energy Constructs ability; because if the Angel was accidentally 'killed' by another angel that angel would only be resurrected in a matter of minutes.
You see the Fallen Angels are in a three sided war with the pure Angels and the Devils beings who tempt mortals away from the grace of the higher beings. This War is called the Three Factions Freedom War. It used to be called the Great Holy War but that was because in that ancient and brutal time the very Gods themselves were involved and fighting against beings of unimaginable power that could match and kill Gods; that unbelievable story is sadly for another time.
The Fallen Angels fight for the right to be free and recognized as their own people; that however is only their collective belief and the only thing holding them together, because the truth is all the fallen angels had fell from grace for their own selfish beliefs or actions and such only fight for themselves making the Fallen Angels Faction a Confederacy instead of a Unified force.
The Devils reasons are similar to the fallen angels in the fact that they want to be recognized as a free and independent species, however there are some key differences that drastically set them apart from their fallen counterparts; but that interesting story is unfortunately for another time as well.
There are many things that set them apart from each other and things that are similar between them, then sometimes there are fine lines that separate them. It all depends on whose side you are on and how you view their cause and goal. (But I'm getting off topic now and I still have to introduce our next heroine *cough* well at least I think she is.)
In the Synapse the number of fallen angels are pretty small and have only gotten smaller as this unforgivable never ending war goes on. So for that very reason they decided to create weapons that would not only allow them to match the other two forces but in some cases completely turn the tide of war in their favor. The mass produced these models so that the can be used in the war and to help repopulate their forces. While the success of the main model contributed to the victories, they have had for a long while it did not last long as the other two factions fought back with a vengeance especially the Devils as they suffered great losses at those weapons hands and because of that the Synapse was back at the bottom between the three groups.
The Synapse obviously were very angry at this and so further disgracing themselves they used dark methods to create a new and improved advanced super weapon that was far, far superior to the old model and with this new weapon the Synapse was once again on top in the war with their greatest achievement being the total decimation of heavens forces and finally for the first time in a long time heavens vastly superior numbers were brought down to a bearable number.
Now the word weapon was thrown around here for a little while without you knowing what really was created and that answer is simple the weapon(s) that was created is called the Angeloid.
Angeloids are artificially created angels with far superior battle prowess that surpassed that of even the higher level angels in combat. They have an organic appearance in the fact they have skin, hair, and other bodily parts that normal beings have, the only difference is that on the inside they are completely machine with systems that are far superior to most things currently in existence. The Angeloid is based upon three factors that determines what type and role they will play and they are: Emotional Control, Battle Capability, and Processing Capability.
This newest model while still falling under these three categories is slightly different with much more powerful systems and battle powers.
This new model is the first of its kind and at the moment the only one of its kind because of some very specific reasons.
This mysterious advanced model is called Chaos and it's a type Epsilon. She is the secret weapon and Ace of the Synapse.
Chaos is a small little girl also ironically with the appearance of about ten years of age. She has long straight blonde hair that reaches down to the back of her knees making her hair very long, one big bang falls gently between her eyes as well as bangs across her forehead and to the sides of her face cupping it. Thin blonde eyebrows lay across her brow. Her eyes are a deep shade of purple that are large and constantly in a lazy slanted position showing her innocents, glee, and disturbingly enough her insanity. A small nose and a small mouth that is constantly smiling completes her face. Around her neck is a small black and grey colored collar that has two full chains and a half chain that is broken in half. Chaos is wearing a long loose black dress that reaches down to her knees with long sleeves that end at her small hands that are pale in color but unblemished with medium sized fingernails, around the top of the dress near the collar the color is white with a design of one large Ark with another on the inside that connects to the top Ark with another doing the same with the connection being in the other direction then with a final ark at the bottom with a black line tracing the entire length of the white piece as well as a line going vertically straight down the middle of the four arks splitting them in half. She wears a head piece called a wimple that drapes down to her waist with a white strip across the top of over her forehead. Finally the most prominent feature that sets her apart from others is the type of wings she has. They are a large pair of organic metal wings that are lavender in color; three on each side, on each separate wing it has three blades all connected to a large circle. With that being said Chaos has six separate wings three on each side. With one final thing to note being that she does not wear any socks or shoes meaning that she goes around bare footed.
Now with her description out of the way you can get a pretty good idea of how she looks, but what about her personality?
Now that is an entire different matter all by itself. With the many circumstances surrounding her creation there were some problems that came with it. Her most troubling flaw is that because her type and model sacrifices her processing capability and part of her emotional control to maximize her combat and battle capabilities it left her a little (SEVERLY) stunted in the growth and development department.
She is unstable and psychopathic in nature but only on the account that her social abilities a were limited almost to non-existent, as right after her creation she was put through severe and brutal combat simulations then to actual real life combat to test out and help her adjust to her powers, but was given no time to improve her social capabilities and general understanding of everyday basic knowledge such as simple social situations.
Because of the severity of her condition she is often prone to random moments of insanity were she will go on destructive rampages were she cannot be controlled. During such times the higher ups of the Synapse sends her out into the battle field to wreak havoc on the enemy often times leaving no survivors.
With that being said Chaos is little more than an unstable weapon with a damaged personality that is a danger to others around her.
The Higher Ups of the Synapse view her as their secret weapon that they will use to keep the edge in the war. However the highest echelons of the Synapse view her as more; they view her as the future generation of Angeloids and the base key to much larger plans.
(Now that you know all about how good [crazy] little Chaos is let's get back to the story).
Just like any other day in the Synapse the sky was filled with hundreds of fallen angels flying in the sky going about their daily lives some in a hurry while others took to taking their time with a leisurely pace without a care. Angeloids could also be spotted making their way through the cloudy sky as well some fallowing their masters around while others could be seen in groups or by themselves; and while it's hard to differentiate them from others because of the fact that their wings are different from any angel out there with them having wings in all shapes and size depending on their make, model, and purpose. The only other thing that separates them from other angels and pretty much a dead giveaway is the collar and chain around their neck that signifies all Angeloids as nothing more than simple obedient slaves to their masters that live in the synapse.
In one of the many facilities in the synapse a team of fallen angels were just coming back after a long mission; they were battered and bruised and looked like they just came back from war (pun again very much intended), well most of them looked tired and injured.
As they came flying in their black wings were very prominent and distinctive as the color sucked up the surrounding light of the area. The fatigue was evident on their faces and in their body language as they were flying slow and sluggish as they made their final approach on the landing area outside the large complex.
While you would think that this is a normal group of soldiers coming back in from their mission that is not the case, they're special in the fact of who is leading this particular group.
A small blonde little girl no older than ten wearing a nun's habit was leading this rag tag group of a strong twenty, though that number was much bigger when they set out over two weeks ago.
This little girl was no other but Chaos herself with a gleeful expression on her face. She was the first to set down on the cold steel floors of the large floating island her razor sharp wings disappearing without a trace the rest of her banged up squad slowly landing behind her some taking in big gulps of air to feed their starved and depraved lungs as they were forced to keep pace with Chaos for most of the return trip.
With Chaos being one of the very few in the squad that managed to make in back in relatively good health (the one perfectly healthy one) she was in the front as she walked down the long cold steel path towards the six guards guarding the entrance to one of the more important buildings in the Synapse with two guards on each side of the massive sliding doors and two on a balcony ten feet above the doors.
Walking up to the massive steel doors Chaos waved hello to the guard that stopped them from entering. "Identification please." The guard said to which Chaos gave without much trouble. Walking pass the guard who was giving her a wide birth she entered into the building with the rest of her squad who felt relieve in the form of several medical Angeloids and Fallen Angels responding to their call who began to whisk them away to the medical bay for much need recovery.
Chaos on the other hand did not follow the rest of the squad who were going to get treated and giving much need rest. No. She took a different route with a much more different destination in mind. Walking down the cool hallways that were painted white with blue florescent lights and blue techy stuff as Chaos liked to call it, she traveled at a slow pace humming a small little tune to herself that she picked up on her latest mission. As she walked many other Fallen Angels littered the hallway with their own destination in mind but as soon as they saw her they would either turn back the way they came or they would walk to the side of the hallway opposite of her and if that was not an option the would move up against the wall and wait for her to pass by.
Chaos obviously noticed this but in her simple little mind she just made it go in one ear and out the other. After making her way through the crowded hallway Chaos came up to a door that was designed differently than the ones she passed on her way here. Entering into the room it revealed itself to be a massive room filled to the brim with Angeloids and Fallen Angels all manning different stations as the room was filled with hundreds of servers and computers. Floating computer screens could be seen following certain members around but for the most part they were stationary and had either an Angeloid or a Fallen Angel working on it. As Chaos walked through the massive server room the same thing would happen to her that happened in the hallway, any time someone would see her they would walk away or move around her as far as possible. But for most they couldn't because the room was so crowded they had no choice but to stand near her or walk by her.
Chaos came upon one of the many dozen or so lines in the room that had many of her 'comrades' waiting their turn to turn in their reports or get a report. When Chaos entered one such line she was going to become content to wait her turn just like everyone else but as soon as they saw her they started to move away from her some even losing their spot in line causing them to curse loudly. Seeing a clear path strait up to the front of the line that she thought the others graciously offered her Chaos wasted not a second with walking up to the front with curse's and glares following behind her as people began to move back into a line with some semblance of order.
Ending up at the front of the line Chaos came upon a sight that she has seen hundreds of times before. A gargantuan sized server that reached up almost to the ceiling and next to that a large reception desk manned by about a dozen Fallen Angels. Walking up to a port in the hulking server Chaos put her little hand upon a glowing screen that appeared in front of her. It scanned her entire hand twice before a pulsing laser light scanned her eyes to which at that time they turned a robotic red with each layer of her eyes would turn in a different direction than the one that proceeded it. After her eyes were scanned Chaos went through the final scan of materializing her chain around her neck and making it stretch until it reached a port in the server that scanned its contents and while it was doing that a robotic voice void of any emotion spoke up to greet Chaos.
[Welcome 2nd Generation Angeloid: Evolution-Class: Chaos, Type Epsilon] The computer voice said as it greeted her to which she gave back a cheerful "Hello mister computer".
[Please upload current mission and battle data to server system number 8] the voice spoke to which chaos answered again even though it wasn't necessary with an "ok".
Chaos transmitted all the required data the computer asked for through her chain that was currently liked to the port all the while her eyes turned red again and moving in odd circular patterns. With an exclamation of "All done mister computer!" Chaos finished transmitting the last of the data to the waiting system.
[Mission data received; mission spec's received; mission statistics received; battle data received; battle spec's received; battle statistics received] The computer droned on as it confirmed the transfer of all the data it asked for.
[Transfer process complete. Information and data received, processed, sent and filed. Please go inform your assigned master of your completed task. Have a good day 2nd Generation Angeloid: Chaos, Type Epsilon]. The computer confirmed and thanked Chaos to which she gave the large machine a smile and hug (which everyone in the room thought was awkward to watch) before starting to walk off with a wave and "Thanks for being nice to me mister computer, I'll see you again."
As she started to walk away she passed by one of the dozen reception desk littering the room to which one of the Fallen Angels currently at the desk spotted her and waiting to the time was right pushed his beverage off the counter causing it to spill all over Chaos's head ruining her clothes.
Silence.
The room was as silent as a grave yard, you could hear a pin drop like it was magnified by a microphone if you wanted. Every single being in the room stopped what they were doing and looked on in silent horror to what Chaos might do. Chaos was as still as a statue her head handing down low and her bangs covering her face from view. The receptionist who started it all was busy shaking in his chair as whatever bravado he must have had before was empty now just like his drink as he looked on in horror as he was certain he would not live to see the next time the minute hand on the clock would complete a full rotation.
It was silent. All was still. Then it happened.
A malevolent and chaotic energy flooded the room as time flowed once again in the frozen room. Every single Angeloid in the room snapped into a battle mode as they booted up their many different kinds of battle systems, their eyes all glowing a robotic red as they zoomed in on the energy signature causing their systems to go haywire. The source of their discomfort and call to arms was in the form of the energy rolling off of Chaos in waves, dark energy coating her form then dark tainted flames came into existence hugging her form in an intimidating visage that caused several of the Fallen Angels in the room to pass out while even some of the Angeloids had a forced shut down of their systems that caused them to go into a temporary hibernation mode (in other words they fainted).
Almost all of the Angeloids in the room that had a weapon system equipped to them had it currently trained and armed at Chaos waiting for her to make a move that would lead to her 'annihilation'.
As for Chaos she was still standing in the same spot from earlier but the difference was that her eyes were also red and an even more interesting thing was that inside her brain her earlier warning systems were blazing to life picking up the close to two hundred weapon systems poised and ready to fire, but she didn't care at all.
Then just like that it was all over, the energy surrounding Chaos vanished showing her clothing to be completely dry without a stain of wet mark anywhere in sight. Magically her clothes were not burned at all by her flames and they even looked brand new. Chaos then turned to the man who spilled the drink at her and with a scolding tone told him "Naughty, naughty you should be more careful next time mister, it's not nice to spill stuff on other's and not say sorry." At this point Chaos floated up to be face to face with the man who was shaking uncontrollably in his seat all the while every Angeloid followed her every movement with some even powering up their weapons to fire causing Chaos's systems to involuntarily send a warning lock on message to everyone in the room further escalating the situation.
"Come on say it." Chaos said in an absolutely adorable voice (well to those that don't know her) as she tried to get the man to apologize, at this point she had both her tiny little hands on each side of his face and she was moving his head in every which way further scaring the man while agitating the others. The man started to stutter incoherent words that he jumbled up as perspiration flooded down his body and face in waves. "Awe poor thing, your sweating so much you must be hot. Oh, I know how about I evaporate all of that sweat then you won't be wet like I was." Chaos said as if she had the greatest idea in the whole world and with that declaration she took one of her hands of the man's face and a ball of tainted purplish flames materialized in the palm of her hand and she held it up to his face to 'evaporate' the copious amount of sweat that had built up which increased when he saw his apparent doom in the little girls hands.
With this final act all the Angeloids in the room powered up every system they had and was seconds away from opening fire on the girl who had her back turned towards them. Their lock on targeting systems were working on over drive as their sights were aimed bone chillingly at chaos's head and heart ready to blast them to bits and at the same time without Chaos being consciously aware of it her counter measure systems and even her own targeting systems were locked on to every hostile Angeloid in the room but the difference is that not only were her systems aimed at their head and heart as well but at every single system in their bodies right down to the very nuts and bolts hidden beneath their skin.
While the Angeloids had a M.A.D warning sign flashing in front of them that stands for Mutual Assured Destruction, Chaos had and Imminent Enemy threat neutralized sign telling her all she needed to know if she was actually paying attention and that was that…
She would be the only one left alive if they decided to attack and if her systems reflexively responded in kind.
But luckily it didn't reach that point as the man screamed out at the top of his lungs "Alright I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, please let me go, please!" The man pleaded and just like that the fire in Chaos's hand disappeared and she let go of his face. Everyone was stunned at what happened and at how simple and fast it took for the apparent danger to pass. Chaos gently floated down to the ground and started walking towards the exit in the room all the while humming that same tune from earlier without a care in the world yet all the Angeloids in the room still had their weapons pointed at her and at one point while she was walking the tip of a pretty large cannon was pressed up against her head yet she seemed not to notice as she strolled out of the room like nothing ever happened.
When Chaos left the room then and only then did the Angeloids power down their systems and let out a breath that they didn't even know they had. But all was not over because the man that was deathly afraid for his life a few seconds ago was now dead.
As soon as Chaos ever so gently closed the door she left out of with a soft click did the man slump down in his chair before his body keeled over to the ground. One of the Angeloids rushed over to him and after a quick body scan announced into the still silent room that "His heart has ceased functioning, his bodily functions have also come to a stop". Everyone in the room knew it to be true as his black wings that signifies you as a Fallen Angel started to decay and wither away.
With Chaos
While everyone in the room finally started to calm down and get everything back under control Chaos was busy retracing her steps all the way back to the outside of the facility to which at that time she summoned her purple bladed wings and took off at high speeds traveling upwards to a new destination.
Chaos traveled far up into the upper echelons of the Synapse where the higher ups and masters of the Synapse take up comfortable residence.
Upon reaching a new platform Chaos touched down on the cold steel plating and looked up to see the impressive view of a castle like mansion that was fit for a king. The building was massive and imposing as Chaos walked up the familiar steps to the large doors that would greet its visitors. Making her way inside her tiny feet making hardly a sound Chaos walked through the massive foyer that had gaudy decorations that would capture the attention of any lesser being. But it didn't grab her attention though as she has become use to them for as long as she could remember. She navigated her way through the many twisting and confusing hallways until she finally came upon her final destination.
A grand set of double doors in magnificent cherry wood that screamed richness and power. Opening the doors she came upon the sight of a massive throne room with a single large chair raised off the ground on a platform with step's in them. The room was open to the outside world as there was no walls, only massive milky white columns that circled the room and marble floors so clean that they reflect your image to you.
Taking this all in within seconds Chaos walked to the middle of the room where she got down on one knee for she was not alone in the room.
For sitting in the chair in an arrogant yet relaxed tone was Chaos's master and creator, his name was Minos. He is a tall man who stands at a striking 6'4 who has long blonde hair that reaches down to his waist and he was wearing a simple white tunic that exposed his ripped abs and chiseled chest along with his muscular arms and legs. Tangled up in his arms were two first generation non-combat Angeloids that was created for serving him and his pleasure. But that's not to say he doesn't have any more Angeloids other than Chaos such as the two Interceptor Angeloids Type Gamma and they are called Harpies. They were walking up to stand right behind Chaos were the got down on one knee as well and all of them raised their heads and set their unwavering gazed to their master who was about to speak.
"Well then I see you have returned home from another well completed mission Chaos." Minos spoke in a deep baritone voice as his face was obscured by his long blonde locks and an advanced illusion magic. "Yes master. The enemy threat on Earth number 467 was completely pacified and is now in our control." Chaos reported in a subdued manner as the usual cheerfulness in her voice was gone and replaced with an emotionless tone.
"Well done Chaos, now what of you two Harpies?" Minos asked as his gaze shifted from Chaos to the two harpies besides her. Chaos beamed at the praise she got from her master but that smile and joy dimmed as soon as his gaze left her.
"Master, all threats on Mondas have been neutralized. The planet is under our control. The Devil and Demon presences that was encroaching on the populace were dealt with swiftly and a garrison of Angelic troopers that were trying to cease control during the confusion of battle were dealt with personally by us with no casualties to our side." Both harpies said at the same time as they gave a more in depth report on their mission making sure to emphasize their role in the mission and the no casualties that they suffered.
"Excellent news Harpies, you will be rewarded at a later time for your prudence in this delicate mission." Minos said as he lavished the Twin Harpies with rave reviews and praise causing a disappointed sad look to appear on Chaos's face.
"Now onto more important matters." Minos said before he began to leak his killing intent and his power began to bubble below the surface of his skin.
"Chaos please if you would explain to me why for every mission I send you on the casualty rate is high and the mission time is doubled compared to my other units?" Minos said but his voice thundered throughout the hall into the outside sky. Chaos for her part started to tremble as she desperately tried to appeal to her master by giving off explanations to her actions that he refused to hear.
"No child, you have continuously slacked off during missions going on personal errands, getting distracted by petty annoyances, constantly droning on and on about your obsession with "What is love?" Quite frankly I am sick of it!" Minos yelled as he tore into Chaos about her many short comings. At this time with a swipe of his hand in midair, a light blue computer screen appeared and on it was Chaos and her statistics, battle records, mission records, physical information, psyche evaluations, and much more.
Chaos was a mess as she curled up into the fetus position while she held her head in pain and confusion as Minos continued to raise his Killing intent and power and had it all focus solely on her leaving everyone else in the hall unaffected. "Yes, while your record for completing the mission is most impressive it leaves much to be desired. You brutally and most efficiently dispose of any enemy I assign you, and that is to be commended; but everything else, everything else is atrocious all your other records are horrible and inconsistent but the most heinous of them all is that you even try to befriend some of your enemies and sometimes you out right just leave the mission for long periods of time with little concern for the troops under your command." Minos ranted and raved as he tore into Chaos with wave after wave of insults and accusations all the while he bore into her with his killing intent and barely restrained power.
Chaos was left a sobbing mess of confusion and pain as with her low computation power when it came to such matters she couldn't even fathom why her master would be this furious with her. And it hurt her most of all that all his anger was directed at her and no one else such as the harpies who had sick looks of pleasure on their faces at her miserable state. It hurt her so bad since she knew that the harpies were no saints either as she has kept it secret from her master all of the illegal things that the harpies have done on missions she was pared up with them on and the fact she kept it secret form their master and they wouldn't even stand up for her hurt her more than anything.
"I have no use for such a despicable child such as yourself, you may be the first Angeloid of the 2nd generation series but the simple fact of reality is that you're nothing more than the prototype test model. With your spec's I'll make even more powerful complete models that can follow my orders explicitly and get me faster more efficient results." Minos thundered as he leaned forward in his chair as he stared down Chaos with all his fury, his power surging around him causing discomfort to everyone in the room but causing agony to Chaos.
"But the thing about you I cannot forgive is that because of you! Because of you! BECAUSE OF YOU! I AM THE LAUGHING STOCK OF ALL THE MASTERS IN THE SYNAPSE!" Minos' roared to the heavens above as his power finally spilled out flooding the entire mansion with his incredible power as it caused a shock wave to tear through the hall blowing everyone away but sending chaos to the far end of the room slamming painfully into the wall right next to the great cheery wood doors.
With that declaration it became quite clear that Minos only cared about his image to others and himself. His vanity exposed for all to see.
The other Angeloids picked themselves of the floor before they returned to their previous positions never once looking back at Chaos who was imbedded into the wall sending cracks all the way up to the ceiling. As for Chaos she was now just prying herself out of the hole in the wall as the subsequent release of Minos's power and hit to the wall had scrambled her sensors leaving her dazed and confused.
"M-m-master I'm sorry, I'll be a good girl next time I promise." Chaos desperately pleaded as she stumbled and fumbled her way back to the center of the room where she got down on her knees with her face and head touching the floor as salty tears fell down her face in never ending rivers.
"Sorry huh, sorry won't cut it and you don't have to worry anymore about a next time because you are now officially terminated." Minos said in a bone chilling dead voice that froze hell over for a brief moment and just like that a powerful blast from the left side of the hall tore through the room completely blindsiding Chaos whose emotional state prevented her systems from warning her of the impending attack. The power of the blast was so powerful that it swept Chaos off her feet as sent her tumbling out the hall into freefall outside the mansion and platform.
The two harpies snapped their heads to the left so fast that you would think they would get whiplash as the blast that ripped chaos from the room came within inches of their faces since Chaos after prying herself lose from the wall had returned to her spot less than two feet in front of them. What they say terrified them. An Angeloid was standing there, but it was not a model they have ever seen in their life. It was a large Angeloid that dwarfs all the others in comparison. She had on large bulky black armor that covered her arms and legs. The black armor had designs in the colors of red, green, and yellow. The armor also covered her mid-section as well. Floating behind her shoulders were two large circular orbs cannons that were in black as well but the most fearsome aspect was the massive heavy rail gun equipped to her right cannon. She had two large black objects floating behind her back that acted like her wings and they had thrusters on them for extra speed. The Angeloid herself was a teenage looking girl who has silver hair and red eyes with one of them being covered by an eye patch.
The armor on the Angeloids feet clanged loudly as she walked into the room with confidence flowing off of her in waves. When she reached the center of the room where chaos was just in she turned towards her master who gave her an approving gaze and nod. After that she was going to open her mouth and speak but before she could her head snapped in the direction chaos flew off in because a little hand could be seen gripping the edge of the floor as it struggled to pull a tiny body up.
"Persistent little brat". Minos spat as he watched with everyone else as Chaos slowly pulled herself back into the throne room. "M-m-master why?" Chaos whined out as everyone took in her appearance. Her once pristine nun outfit was now in tatters as her dress was burnt to a crisp and much of it was gone exposing her child like body to everyone. Her skin was badly burnt but you could see that it was repairing itself at a fast pace. The cloth covering her hair had been blown clean off letting her long blonde hair flow in the wind.
"As I said you are obsolete now. But I would like for you to meet one of your true successors, this is one of the complete and true 2nd Generation Angeloids.
It's a "Heavy Bomber and Support-Class", its name is Laura, and its type is "Type Beta". Minos explained as he looked down on the struggling Chaos who was having trouble standing. "She is one of the new class's that I have created and I made sure to speed up the production on this one little model here so she would be ready for this special little occasion I've been planning in advance for months." Minos said in a cruel voice as he revealed his intentions and plans to everyone in the room.
"W-why"?
"Why not? Like I said child I don't need you anymore the power core that's inside of you that I based my second generation's series on is already in its advanced stage. I have harnessed that awesome power and perfected it into a more powerful force and so you are no longer needed. You're too unstable, the power core inside of you has made you mentally unstable as it was imperfect when I planted in inside you. So you and that power core are going to be disposed of right here right now." Minos declared as he slowly walked down the steps to his throne all the while looking at Chaos with a tortuous smirk plastered on his face.
"Now as your master I have one last order for you. Please try to stay alive long enough to entertain me and please do put on a good show. So get lost". Minos said as he sent a shock wave that again lifted Chaos off her feet and out of the hall but this time Minos sent Laura after her with a "Now Laura if you would be a dear can you please get rid of that trash loitering in the sky out there".
With a quick "yes of course master" Laura took off out of the throne room with her thrusters blazing as she began her hunt.
With them both gone Minos turned his attention to the twin Harpies in the room who were amazed at seeing such a powerful Angeloid. "Now harpies for your reward, I want you to assist the new model in getting rid of that trash for me". Minos said and also with a quick "yes master" the two harpies took off way too eager to please their master.
Minos walked over casually to the edge of his throne room and peered out into the open sky to watch the ensuing battle.
With Chaos
'I don't understand why, why is master doing this to me? I thought I was being a good girl?' Chaos thought as this time she didn't even try to correct her free fall as she was lost in thought.
[Target Incoming] [Target Incoming] Chaos's radar picked up as it detected Laura who was closing in fast. Chaos who saw Laura speeding towards her at a high rate of speed decided that she would attempt to reason with her.
"Laura! Please tell master that I'm a good girl and I'll do better in my miss"- Chaos tried to say before she was rudely cut off by a powerful blast for Laura's shoulder cannon.
"Boom!"
Chaos was sent careening into the side of one of the many floating platforms for her attempted reasoning.
"I'm a good girl"-
"Boom!"
Chaos was cut of yet again but this time it was by the harpies who caught up to the so far one sided fight. They used their cannons equipped to their arms as a means to shell Chaos into the side of the platform for good.
"Yeah, yeah, you're a good girl we get it already you little brat! But guess what we don't care. We are sick and tired of you running things around here. When you were created master instantly put you in charge of all of the troops under his command including all of his Angeloids just because you were the first 2nd gen. But all you did was annoy people and goof off. But after today Captain we won't ever have to listen to your annoying voice ever again." The harpies ranted together as the voiced their grievances and personal feeling when it comes to Chaos and they practically spat out the word Captain with such venom that you would think they were talking to the devil himself.
The harpies were going to continue with their rant but they were forced to dodge a particularly large fire ball that came from the hole Chaos was in.
"I'm not annoying and I'm not a brat whatever that means and I am a good girl!" Chaos said as she pulled herself loose from the ravage steel plates. "I have be a good girl to everyone I meet and the only reason those people died on those mission's was because they refused my help when I offered it." Chaos said with tears in her eyes as she floated back up into the air to face the three Angeloids after her life. "They would always ignore me when I tried to talk to them, and during battles when I would try and help one of them they would push me away and then the end up getting killed!" Chaos exclaimed as tears gushed out of her eyes. "It's not my fault!"
"Oh shut up already!" The harpies yelled as they charged at chaos who broke out into a nose dive to dodge their incoming attacks. But it wasn't to be as Laura was right there waiting for her with twin lances of corrupt energy in her hands ready to impale her with. Chaos put her hands out in front of her and coated them with her dark flames right as Laura jabbed one of her lances in her direction. Chaos grabbed ahold of the lance with her hand covered in flames and with her momentum swung Laura around her and away from her personal space. Laura corrected her flight pattern in seconds and using her cannons locked on to Chaos before firing an onslaught of laser blast that Chaos intercepted with her dark fire. The colliding energies exploded in midair leaving smoke to cover the sky around them.
Using the smoke as cover Chaos tried to flee to safety to recover but the harpies were on her in seconds firing off their special High-Fever Object Compression Anti-Aircraft Gun cannons called "Prometheus" that allowed them to fire super-heated projectiles at targets though with the shrapnel rounds that they normally use its best suited for air battles where they can his multiple target at once which they are putting to great use at the moment as they are currently trying to blast Chaos out the sky.
Hearing the sounds of battle Laura blasted through the smoke cloud dispersing it with her speed as she closed in on Chaos with her own cannons blazing. Laura's cannons however missed their target however because unlike her Rail gun that has a near 100% accuracy rate her cannons were only meant to hit slower objects, not fast moving objects like Chaos. However they did hit something though such as one of the many support beams holding up a platform causing it to fall off and land on Chaos who was currently flying directly under it in her escape of the two interceptor class Angeloids who were living up to their spec's as they were able to keep up with her every move.
Chaos felt pain in her back as the support beam crashed right into the middle of her back sending her into a free fall until she grabbed the beam and using it as a bat swung it with as much force as possible slamming it into Laura who was approaching her cannons blazing. For the twin harpies Chaos fired two large fire balls in their direction hitting the m right in their midsection causing a big explosion to form in their location.
Having a moment to breath Chaos wiped her eyes of the remaining tears and set to work in repairing her back and burns that she suffered. After that her sensors came to life as all three of her opponents came back onto the scene two of the m extremely pissed off and one sporting a crack in her leg armor. "You'll pay for that you brat!" the harpies yelled as they closed the distance between them in a matter of seconds using their great speed. "Nemea!" they yelled as the claws on their right hand began to vibrate at high speeds and with them they invaded Chaos's personal space as they tried to cut her to ribbons. Chaos for her part tried to keep her distance as she wasn't good with close combat not only because of her small sixe but also because she lacked Close Combat Software.
Laura decide now would be a good time to join the fight and so snuck up behind Chaos and with one of her lances impaled her in her left shoulder causing it to fall to her side limp.
With the new opening presented to them the harpies got in a few lucky shots that tore the remainder of Chaos's clothes off and scaring her skin with deep cuts and lacerations. When they were about to attack again Chaos used her illusion powers to distract them long enough for her to get away but Laura was not tricked like the others and she was not amused in the least.
"Don't use your cheap parlor tricks on me girl, I'm not easily fooled". Laura declared as she used her Rail gun to blast Chaos in her back sending her sailing upward into the bottom of a nearby platform before being propelled out through the top before gravity caught her and sent her crashing back down onto the top of the platform right near the hole she made.
Hurting all over Chaos slowly and painfully picked herself up before taking in her new look. Chaos was just down to her panties that were cute little purple underwear that had black polka dots all over it. Her entire body was left naked and exposed as her skin was burned with sever third degree burns and her back was in bad shape. The skin on her back was gone leaving the top layer of her circuitry exposed and sparking as it received massive damage. On her shoulder you could see a small hole that completely went through to the other side when Laura stabbed her.
Before she could get to her feet Chaos was then brutally shelled into the ground by Laura and the Harpies as they unleashed a terrifying onslaught of fire power that decimated the surrounding area on the platform. Out of the massive smoke cloud that formed from the shooting came Chaos but she had a frown on her face and her eyes were red as she obviously decided to fight back.
"Oh, so the baby's got some fight still left in her huh?" one of the harpies said as they charged at chaos who was coming in fast. They met in the middle with a loud bang as they exchanged blow after blow with Chaos somehow keeping up despite the fact that her weakness is in close combat. But what they didn't know was that Chaos had decided to fight for herself instead of relying on Minos's orders who she begrudgingly had to follow.
With Laura joining the fight the battle turned into a fierce dog fight in midair with Chaos surprisingly holding her own despite the fact she didn't even have any melee type weapons and it was three against one, but she more than made up for it by improvising and using her bladed wings as a temporary weapon that served her well.
They became little more than white streaks in the sky as they accelerated to subsonic speeds as they clashed in midair over and over again as they hit each other with devastating blows that would cripple any ordinary being. This continued on for the next five minutes as the sky was lit up like fireworks as explosions ripped through the air sending shockwaves out lifting people off their feet and sending anyone who was flying into uncontrollable barrel roles.
While Chaos was more than holding her own and was even beginning to overpower the harpies what she didn't know was that Laura was leading her into a trap as they were slowly but surely climbing to the top of the Synapse were a certain someone was awaiting them.
By the time Chaos figured out something was wrong in was already too late. During the fight they had reached near the top of the Synapse were the many barracks and military installations were and what greeted them was something that scared chaos right down to her core.
Over a dozen bomber class 2nd Gen. Angeloids were waiting for them along with two new types as well. One was Grey and black mostly with sea green highlights. It has bulky legs with armor on it while the arms are left without it also has two large floating shoulder pads that looked like it could take a hit. The only weapon that the Angeloid was wielding was a large basic Katana that looked really sharp. The interesting thing was that they each had a different body and face. The other was more bulky, but had a predominantly orange color scheme and large wings. Also the Angeloids were different from each other. But as for weapons there were a lot to many in fact. There was a large assortment of weapons ranging from all types of guns and cannons.
They all floated in midair forming a large wall of steel and power and in front of them all was Minos with a sadistic smirk on his face. By this time because of all the fighting many other masters and their Angeloids showed up as well to see what was going on. Also a large contingent of fallen angels also came as well. Many of them whispering to themselves about what they were witnessing.
One of the masters of the Synapse came up to Minos and asked him what was going on only for Minos to reply by saying that he was getting rid of some trash.
"Minos this is our ace, our secret weapon against the other factions why would you get rid of her?" the man said as he couldn't understand his fellow masters thinking.
"Well she's not our ace anymore and I have already developed full generation 2 technology so she is not need anymore, now step aside." Minos said as he shoved pass the other man and looked down at Chaos's battered and bruised form.
"I don't want to be your Angeloid anymore, if this is how you are going to treat me." Chaos said as she was in terrible pain from all the fighting she just went through.
"Oh, and this is why I have no use for you, a defective Angeloid. An Angeloid is supposed to be obedient to their master and follow his every command, but for you the only reason that you have been loyal to me all this time is because I have only shown you one side of me; the good kind and nice master who cares about his subordinates and Angeloids. The fact of the matter is that chain around your neck is defective as I can't impose my complete will onto you so what's really been going on all this time is that you have been following my orders of your own free will. I was meaning to get that fixed on you but since you have blindly followed all my orders all this time I forgot about it. Not that it matters anymore since you are going to be scrap metal soon enough." Minos gloated as he revealed things about their relationship that now made Chaos feel sick to her stomach.
With tears in her eyes from all of the revelations and pain Chaos summed up how she felt about all that has happened to her at the leisure of one man. "I hate you". She said as her whole body trembled visibly because of all the agony she was experiencing.
"I know". That was the simple reply filled with arrogance and not a care in the world.
At that final declaration from their master all the Angeloids opened fire at Chaos blanketing the entire sky with a hail of explosions.
The sky was turned black from all of the smoke lingering in the air but that was when they felt it a malevolent and foul energy the likes of which they have never felt before at this level and intensity. The black smoke clouds started to glow an ominous purple as chaotic energy flooded the entire airspace.
"{Pandora System Activate}" A voice said.
"{Self – Evolution Activate}"
"{Chaos Magic Activate}"
"{Vibration Manipulation Activate}"
"{Age Manipulation Activate}"
"{Force Fields Activate}"
The list went on and on as the mysterious matured voice announced each new addition, the malevolent energy would spike and reach new heights.
Minos had a shocked look on the visible part of his face as you could see his mouth wide open. It only got bigger to the point of Jaw dropping when out of the smoke came a purple blade wing that pierced straight through the shields of the Angeloid right next to him as it grabbed hold of the girl around her neck and with a twisted snap broke her neck. After that her whole body started to get absorbed into the purple wing in an organic matter until there was nothing left and the same thing happened to several of the others as well leaving everyone their shocked.
Then she appeared out of the smoke.
Chaos's appearance looked a little different. Once she was a small child no older than ten, now she was a woman of around 18 whose hair had grown out down to her feet, her face was more angular and had lost most of its baby fat with the majority of her hair moving to the right side in a massive bang covering up her right eye leaving her left eye exposed, her body was a lot curvier with her hips flared out and her waist slim. Her breast had grown out as well and with no clothes on they were exposed. But the most terrifying thing of all was her wings, while she still had three on each side instead of them being three blades per appendage making it 18 blades; it became two blades per appendage making it 12 blades which were in the shape of massive looking scissors that were twice as large as her old wings and twice as sharp.
"Let's play a game boy's and girls, it's called death tag and in this game I get to show you a special type of love that equals pain!" Chaos exclaimed in a more mature voice as her wings killed one more Angeloid before the other's got over their shock and entered the battle.
Now this time Chaos was more than a match for the rest of the 2nd generations as they found themselves hard pressed to keep up with Chaos's new jump in power and appearance. While it was no easy task Chaos was slowly overwhelming her opponents as the first one's she killed had been caught off guard as it happened all simultaneously.
"Prepare the Zeus cannon to be fired this has gotten way out of hand and now she is a serious threat." Minos commanded as he watched his Angeloid get overwhelmed by their adversary.
Chaos was chipping away at their numbers as with each clash a shock wave would be sent out knocking people down and trapping some under falling and flying debris. During the large group fight Chaos especially made sure to go after the two harpies and original Laura who started the fight.
The massive scale dog fight lasted for more than twenty minutes because even with all of Chaos's upgrades the enemies she was facing were very formidable and they covered each other's backs using impressive teamwork skills (it would make a certain team in the distant future jealous and a certain Cyclopes proud) and strategies. But they lacked the drive and purpose that Chaos had as she was out for blood and a lot of it as so she brutally overpowered the Angeloids that would slip up in their formations and teamwork.
It was almost over as the harpies had pulled out of the fight a while ago because Chaos had made sure to target them any time she could and she would use powerful attacks to counter their own.
Laura had also slipped away less than a minute ago but not before suffering massive damage. But that was when it happened with only a small group left out of the dozens that originally attacked her, Chaos picked up on her new powerful systems a massive energy spike that was coming from directly above everyone.
Turning her head upwards she saw the famed and feared Zeus Cannon powering up. It was a large tower like structure with a long barrel pointed straight down at the portal sitting at the bottom of the Synapse.
Seeing the massive weapon building up power Chaos enlarged her wings and then shaped them into a large barrel where she herself started to gather up a monstrous amount of energy in the form of her signature tainted flames.
Everyone in the vicinity began to flee as they foresaw what was about to happen. When the two titanic energies finally reached a critical point they each fired.
The Zeus cannon fired off a gargantuan blast of yellow energy that ripped through the sky at unimaginable speeds with shockwave after shockwave. Chaos likewise fired her massive fireball that left with an unimaginable recoil. Everything went in slow motion as the two titanic energies finally met in the middle with an inconceivable bang that rocked the very dimension to its core. The two energies clashed for dominance but just as it looked like it was going to be a stale mate the Zeus cannon started to push back Chaos's attack. Seeing this and knowing that she was going to be overwhelmed she used the last of her energy to angle her powerful fire ball under and up into the yellow death ray causing it to just miss the very top of Chaos's head as it finally overwhelmed her while a small part of her fire ball continued on riding the energy waves of the yellow cannon. The shock wave and sheer power that the Zeus cannon attack produced still hit Chaos like a trillion Freight trains as she was plowed through dozens of platforms until she was dumbed out of the energy wave right above the dimensional portal as the attack flew passed her into the portal severally destabilizing it as the portal was not programed with a specific destination like it normally would when a team of fallen angels would normally head out or come back.
Chaos blanked out from the intense pain as she slowly came to her eyes kept opening and closing as she couldn't fully stay conscious. Using what remaining power she had she checked her systems and came to the startling discovery that she had reverted back to her child form. She deduced that the massive amount of power she used during her temporary evolution must have ran out and she knew that she would never be able to maintain her powered up state for long after getting hit with such an attack. Though she took some comfort and satisfaction in seeing smoke coming from the damaged Zeus Cannon that her remaining attack created.
As she was slowly trying to get herself situated Chaos saw a small black dot on the horizon approaching her at high speed. When it finally came into view her face paled as she saw that it was Minos himself and he looked pissed.
Said man floated to a stop in front of Chaos as he looked at her with loathing. "You're still alive? What a shame. You have become a nuisance and a problem but oh well I'll deal with you myself and I'll get rid of you forever". Minos declared as he powered up an energy lance in his hands and pointed straight at Chaos. "You don't have to worry about me ever again because I don't want to be your Angeloid anymore, your nothing but scum and I'll take pleasure in killing you one day". Chaos said as she stared straight into Minos face with defiance burning brightly in her eyes.
"That's if you survive that is brat". Minos said and with that he plunged his energy lance straight into Chaos's chest breaking her chain and running her straight through. Chaos's limp and near lifeless body fell into the damaged portal before she was deconstructed and disintegrated.
Minos looked on with not a single emotion showing in his eyes. "Master Everything is ready for the next phase of the plan". An Angeloid said as it flew up to float near her master.
"Good".
Earth 598 – Elemental Nations – Land of Fire – Village Hidden in the Leafs
Within the land of fire is a large village called the Hidden leaf village it is a beautiful village that is covered in massive and lush forest's that contains the pure essence of nature itself. The village is located within a large valley that stretches on for miles around with mountains. Though there is one mountain in particular that stands out compared to the others and that is the mountain that the village is situated off the base of. This mountain is special to the village and has been around from even before the village was founded nearly a hundred years ago. However at the founding of the village it became special when the first leader of the village had his face carved in to the face of the mountain. Since then 4 faces have been carved into the mountain and each face is depicted with their feared leader gazing down and out into the horizon dutifully watching over their people and watching out for invading enemies.
A massive wall that towers over the village and its buildings protects them and keeps them hidden from invaders who would wish to do them harm. Since its founding nearly a hundred years ago the hidden leaf has participated in all three world wars that had ravaged the land and destroyed entire countries and lands but in all that time never in its history had the great wall been breached or damaged… well that was all true up until 6 years ago when the magnificent wall was brought down by something no human could ever hope to fully comprehend. A beast had attacked but it was not an ordinary beast no… this was a tailed beast, mythical beast that had a tail count ranging from one to nine (or so they say [spoiler alert]) and they hold power that no human could ever achieve. But again it wasn't just any of the nine tailed beast that decide it was a great time to attack, but it was the strongest of them all (or so they say [spoiler alert]) the feared 9-tailed demon fox had appeared out of no were and began to lay waste to the proud and strong village causing destruction and despair on a wide scale in just under half an hour.
It ravaged the village and razed a quarter of it to the ground before it was literally pushed out of the village by the great third leader and his trusty summon and once outside of the village the current fourth leader whisked the fox away to a remote area where he then sealed it away so it could never hurt another sole ever again but at the cost of his life.
One last thing about this great village. It's leader were given the title Hokage and they each carried it with great pride but they were not the only special people in the village though, many great heroes have been born into the hidden leaf and they each grew up to become legends that would have their names carved into the history books but what no one has realized yet and wont realize for a long time is that a true hero was born the night of the 9-tails attack whose legend will outshine all those that came before it and all those that would dare come after.
(But enough of the boring history lesson and foreshadowing, let's get to the story).
In the hidden leaf village there are many sections that contain many different kinds of people. In one section of the village it unfortunately contained nothing but homeless and poor individuals that could not provide for themselves or for others, they are the forsaken people that are forgotten and ignored, they lived in the section called the slums that appeared after the 9-tails attack and ever since then the section that was destroyed and slowly being built back up and to sum it all up they were dealt a bad hand in life. But one little boy out of the entire slums population of 500 had been dealt by far the worst hand in life ever and at the moment he was currently walking down one of the many dirty streets heading home after a long day.
"You know I really wish they didn't have to build back up the wall so fast, it was nice looking at the sunset without the wall in the way". A little boy said. This little boy was six years old, he had sun kissed golden blond hair that reflects the light of the sun when ever given the chance, and his eyes are the brightest and most definitely clearest color of aqua blue in the world. He has tan skin and small lips and ears. But the most interesting thing about him though is the six lines going across his face horizontally that looks like whisker marks. He is wearing a large grey beat up t shirt and black shorts that were hidden underneath the t shirt. In his arms he had a green frog hand puppet that he found under his pillow this morning.
But now the question is who is he talking too?
A tinny voice that was literally speaking into his ear answered him. "Yeah I know it was nice looking at the sun sets, it was beautiful but don't worry we can still sneak out to the outside remember there are still tiny holes in the wall that we can get through". Said the mysterious voice. Out of the boy's hair that had started rustling came a small figure no bigger than four inches at the most, it was a tiny little girl with lime green hair and a light almost see through dress. But the most interesting thing about her though was the fact that she has four nearly invisible see through wings that would glitter and drop cold snowflakes whenever she would move.
"Your right and maybe we can sneak out one more time before they complete the wall and patch it up". The little boy said as he had his gaze fixed on the great wall that protected their village. "Hey Eva you wanna try one more time tonight"? The little boy offered as it was quite obvious that he really wanted to go. "Yeah Naruto it will be fun". Eva said to the now named little boy.
Now with a destination in mind and the time approaching twilight the Naruto and Eva set off through the slums meeting and greeting people who were quite friendly with him and some even gave him a little bite to eat as he passed out of generosity. While he had a good time talking to all the homeless people Naruto realized that time was running short as so he moved along through the slums until he crossed into the regular suburbs with the normal 2nd class citizens and immediately there was a difference in atmosphere compared to the slums. Here people talked and laughter filled the air and everything here seemed normal, that was of course until Naruto showed up. Walking into the suburbs Naruto tried to keep to himself and unnoticeable because he knows from firsthand experience that whenever he comes to this district that bad thing would happen.
All was going well because as soon as he stepped into the district he snagged a long cloak that he used to cover up his features from an unsuspecting merchant who was knocked out at an outside dinner. The cloak was longer and bigger than Naruto was but he didn't really care as long as it concealed his identity. With a working disguise in place Naruto quickly made his way through the district avoiding people and making her way through the crowded streets with practice ease as no one paid any attention to him. While walking he listened in on the crowds conversations and couldn't help but feel sad as he heard many couples and families talking about how much they loved each other and about what they were going to do tonight or the next day and it reminded him of the fact that he is an orphan (who keep in mind hasn't been adopted yet) and has no family. But what really got to him is the fact that he has heard many people talk about love and other things like it but no matter how many times he has witnessed it he still couldn't grasp the concept or even begin to understand it. While Naruto was deep in thought three drunk adult males came stumbling out of the local bar. Naruto who suddenly had to turn his head down when a couple started to look at him didn't see the three drunk men come stumbling out into his path and neither did they.
And so…
"Bam!"
"Ouch!"
Naruto was on his butt as he looked up at the men who not so surprisingly were still on their feet. (Oh I forgot to mention the one Naruto ran into is overweight oops sorry!)
"Hey watch were you're going kid". One of the men said as he slurred his speech. The other men looked down at Naruto in a daze as they couldn't focus their eye sight properly. Naruto was about to climb to his feet to get away when he heard many gasped and whisperings coming from all around him and it caused his face to pale considerably as he immediately knew what had happed and more importantly what was about to happen. The cloak that Naruto 'borrowed' had fallen off his face and body revealing who he was to the crowd. He could feel the eyes on him as he ducked his head down in apparent shame but what he was really doing was whispering to Eva who was in his spiky and unkempt hair telling her to stay still and to stay out of sight. The men who were now just figuring out who he was started to walk forward which prompted Naruto to scoot back. "Hey aren't you the demon brat?" one of them asked as he slurred his words and stumbled. When everyone heard that they started to whisper even louder as the tension in the air was rising at a fast pace.
"Eva how about a distraction?" Naruto whispered to himself as the muscles in his body started to tense in preparation for what was to come. "Yeah one coming right up". Eva whispered back as Naruto was slowly getting back up. "Hey I asked you a question boy". The drunk man said as he tried to grab Naruto who at this point had made it back to his feet. "It's him look, look at his face he has whisker marks, it's him! It's the demon brat!" someone shouted from the growing crowd and Naruto knew at this moment that his evening just got more complicated. "Eva". Naruto said as he started to back up slowly, the tension in the air was so thick at this point you could cut it with a knife. You could see parents with children pulling them away in hushed tones with fear in their eyes, you could also see big burly men and angry old women coming into the crowd to stir up trouble and that was something Naruto didn't need. When one of the drunk men tried to grab Naruto time went in slow motion and the Naruto heard it his partner's voice.
"Demonic Art: Winter Fairy's Freeze Touch!"
When the man grabbed Naruto by his arm the man's hand began to freeze although it was as light freeze as there was no visible ice. "Ahh! What did you do to me you stupid brat I can't feel my arm". The man screamed as the arm he used to grab Naruto with began to turn numb. "AHH! That little monster is using his demon Magic (if you only knew lady, if you only knew) someone stop him!" An old lady yelled. (Yes folks, the same crazy superstitious cranky old lady that you find in every movie, show, cartoon, and anime.)
Now Naruto if he didn't like the situation he was in right now would have laughed at the hilarious irony in the statement the lady just said… but since what she said was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back he didn't really feel up to laughing right now.
That set the crowd off and they began to scream and roar as some of the men started to grab anything they could use as a weapon such as the unusually abundant amount of chairs in that outdoor café a few feet away and as for the women they kicked things off by throwing their shoes and any other objects on them at Naruto. Naruto even witness a women with slippers on kick her foot up in the air and they came right off and sailed right in his direction to which he wisely dodged. "Eva one more". Naruto said as his voice was drowned out by the roar of the crowd. "Right here we go!" Eva responded as she concentrated her energy through Naruto's body using it as a medium and conductor to the boiling pot on the table at the outside Café and with some effort achieved the desired results she needed.
"Demonic Art: Winter Fairy Scald Generation!"
The boiling pot reached a critical state before it violently exploded spraying scalding hot water onto the men who were grabbing chairs at the time. The screamed in pain as the hot water got on their skin, but it was not over because of the fact that it was a large pot the hot air from the pot mixed with the cool almost cold air of the approaching night causing a massive steam cloud that was enhanced by Eva's Magic to blanket the crowd destroying most of their visibility.
All Naruto could hear was the screaming and shouting of the irate mob as they couldn't see a thing and some of them were in pain form the hot water. Naruto used the new chance he was giving to slip away from the crowd while everyone was in chaos and he was already on the other side of the crowd when the same old lady from before spotted him and pointed him out to everyone who could still see. "Why me?" Was all Naruto could say as he saw about half of the mob start to chase after him as he took off down the street as fast as his little legs could carry him.
Naruto ran as fast as he could with the mob right on his tail. He hopped, ducked, jumped and even slid through each object that came his way in his mad dash for freedom but the irate mob wasn't letting up and it was becoming a big problem for Naruto who only wanted to go watch a sunset. During the chase Naruto would some time s lose most of the crowd but for some reason there would be someone right around the corner that would spot him and star the whole fiasco over again.
While running down the long road that Naruto new would take him close to the village walls he kept looking behind him only to see the crowd get close and closer. Because the grown up men in the crowd had longer legs and were in better shape than Naruto they were closing the distance and fast. "Eva I need you again". Naruto said as he was starting to slow down due to the strain on his muscles and fatigue. "All right Naru I got you". Eva reassured Naruto as she again concentrated her powers through Naruto's body and to his feet as he was running. "I have an idea Naru, it just rained yesterday so we'll use the puddles in the road to set a trap for them". Eva explained as she got ready to act.
"Demonic Art: Winter Fairy Freeze Touch!"
"Demonic Art: Winter Fairy Scald Generation!"
As Naruto ran over the puddles in the middle of the street his feet charged with Eva's power came into contact with the water and either two things happened: for some of the puddles that he ran through his foot froze the water turned into a thin sheet of ice causing some of the people chasing him to slip and fall on their backs; and for some of the puddles that he ran through his foot super-heated the water to a boiling point and just like the pot at the café it caused mini steam clouds to erupt in the middle of the street and for the people who ran directly into the steam cloud a touched the boiling hot puddles they found their feet burned and they also fell down.
Now with most of the crowd dealt with Naruto finally started to slow down when he reached one of the many canals that crisscrossed throughout the village. "Huff, huff, huff, phew we out ran them Eva we did it". Naruto said as he tried to catch his breath after the long chase through the city. "Yeah that was pretty fun when you don't think about those people chasing you". Eva said though she sounded winded. "Hey Eva are you alright?" Naruto asked as he sat down at the edge of the street where the canal runs down below. "Yeah but I'm exhausted, I used too much of my powers." She replied as she slumped down in his hair. "You were great back their so take a rest." Naruto said as he stared at his reflection down in the canal. 'That's right Eva explained it to me the first time we tried using her powers on something, first since she is so small and doesn't have much energy she has to latch on to me and suck out my chakra to use as an energy source, then she has to do all the work of moving it through my body and out to whatever she is going to attack. It takes a lot out of her.' Naruto thought as he continued to look down into the water.
He was feeling grateful for the help Eva gave him back their as he knew about the tremendous strain it puts on her to use her powers the way she does and like every other time in the past that she has helped him out he was feeling grateful that he met her and for the help she has given him. While Naruto was lost in memory lane he didn't notice the cranky old lady from earlier staring at him from across the street.
With the cranky old lady
'There's that little monster, he thought he could get away from us that easily especially me huh think again.' The old lady thought as she carefully observed Naruto from afar. 'Who's the little brat talking to?' The woman thought as she saw Naruto's lips moving. 'Huh, he's probably talking to himself; after all the little monster is crazy'. The woman thought… well that was until she saw that his hair was moving in an unnatural way. 'What the?' She continued to observe and that was when she saw a tiny shape moving in his hair. "What was that?" The woman thought but said out loud as she took a step forward in Naruto's direction. 'I don't know what that was but I know I'm not going senile yet. That little demon brat was talking to something and I bet my old husbands life it is whatever is in his hair'. The woman thought and also revealed how she thought about her husband.
'Well let's get rid of that little stain to our village and whatever that thing he's talking to'. The woman thought sinisterly as she picked up a nearby brick of the side of the road. Other passerby's that were walking with their own destination in mind noticed the woman's strange behavior but when they saw her pick up the brick they started to pay attention to what she was looking at and when they did they saw a little 'innocent' boy about to be targeted. "Wait, what are you doing?!" Someone shouted out but it was too late as the woman threw the brick and it was on a collision course with Naruto.
With Naruto
Naruto was still looking at his reflection when he decided he had wasted enough time resting and so he was about to get up when he felt this strange pit in his stomach. Then he heard it someone shouted "Wait, what are you doing?!" but it was already too late because as soon as he turned around he saw the brick already too close to his head…
"Bam!"
"Splash!"
Naruto was hit on the top of his head by the brick and he fell down into the canal which started to carry him away.
Everyone rushed to the edge of the canal when they saw what happened and when they saw exactly who it was most of the people started to cheer and others even said "Good riddance!" and "It's about time!", though some in the crowd who actually had a little humanity looked on in horror at what just happened especially when they saw the blood in the stream.
As soon as he hit the water Naruto reached out with his hand and grabbed Eva who was floating above him limply. He caught her in his hand and held her close to his body as he blanked out from the pain in his head.
Naruto's body was carried all the way down the canal that went underneath the Village walls where his tiny body was able to fit through the metal security bars and out into the open.
When Naruto came to he was jolted out of his unconsciousness when his back hit a tree which was blocking most of the stream and it snagged on his shirt. "Huh… what… happened?" Naruto asked as he could feel a head splitting headache coming on. Looking on he could see the Village gates in the distance and knew that it was going to be a long walk home. Feeling movement in his hands Naruto looked down into his hands and he saw that Eva was still not awake and so with the rest of his strength tugged himself lose from the tree branch and climbed out of the water. He stumbled across the shore line up to a tree and sat down with his back propped up against the tree.
Naruto who could feel how wet he was took off his clothes including his socks leaving himself in his boxers. Naruto squeezed out as much of the water as he could from his clothes and after he got done with squeezing out his socks he placed them on the ground next to him and then looked down at Eva who was in his lap and couldn't help the sad frown that came upon his face as he saw the gash that was on her back right near her wings. Looking at his socks that was by his legs he came up with an idea and so picking them up he placed one inside the other before he then gently picked up Eva and tucked her inside his Sock where he hoped it would keep he warm. Folding up the rest of his clothes into a neat pile that he put underneath his socks that Eva was in he got up and stretched before going over to the river and putting his head into it rinsed out his hair that had dried up blood in it.
Looking up into the sky and seeing that sunset was fast approaching Naruto went into the forest by the river and picked up a lot of branches and sticks with the intention of building a fire. While in the forest he heard a lot of sounds coming from the many different animals that called Nature their home and he became lost in thought as his hands on auto pilot picked up more sticks. 'Man it sure is nice out here, no one to bother you, fresh air, and lots of animals it great. Maybe I'll build a house out here one day and live in it.' Naruto thought as he picked up the last of the sticks he would need and started to make his way back to the riverbank.
When he got there he felt the same pit in his stomach and looking over to where he left Eva he saw a snake a few feet away from his clothes and Eva. Naruto felt his heart nearly stop as the snake got closer to his partner. Naruto felt fear as the snake peaked its head up over the pile of clothes to stare down at Eva. Dropping the pile of sticks in his hand until there was only two left Naruto sprang into action anger replacing his fear, he through the first stick at the snake that landed right in front of the snake causing it to back away in surprise.
"Haaaaa!" With a yell Naruto took the other stick in his hand and started to wave it around in anger as he chased the snake back away from his defenseless partner. The snake was persistent though and it tried several times to bite Naruto whenever he would step to close. The dance with death went on for three minutes as each side would not give an inch as Naruto would try to stab the snake and likewise it would try to bite him without success. Seeing that Naruto was huffing and was very tired the snake lunged at Naruto with its fangs out for the kill only to end up being killed as at the last possible second Naruto reacted with surprising speed and precision and nail the snake right in the head killing it.
With the snake dead the anger Naruto was feeling washed away and turned into fatigue as the events of the day finally caught up to him. Walking up to the pile of branched that he dropped Naruto picked them up and brought them back over to his clothes were he placed half of them down in a pile and the other half near his clothes. Taking the pile he set down Naruto started to put rocks around them and with a little time and practice finally lit a fire which he tended too to keep strong.
With that done Naruto went back over to the tree and sat down and picked up the sock with Eva in it and placed it in his lap where he spent the next twenty minutes watching her with the fire nearby warming them up.
"Ugh, hmm!"
Naruto looked down into his lap after hearing his little partner make noise and saw that she was opening her eyes. "Eva are you ok?!" Naruto yelled out in a panic as he was glad that his partner was up. "I was until you decided to make my headache worst with your big mouth!" Eva bit back as she held her hands up to her ears in attempt to get them to stop ringing.
"Hehe! Sorry about that but are you really ok?" Naruto apologized as he put his hand behind his head and scratched it while having a big goofy smile on his face.
"Yeah I'm ok thanks for saving me back there." Eva replied as she looked up at Naruto with a small gentle smile. Seeing this smile that has always been reserved for him Naruto couldn't help but returned the favor with a real genuine smile of his own that no one except Eva has ever seen.
The mood was ruined however when Eva looked down and realized that she was inside Naruto's sock. "What, what is this? You had me inside your smell sock? I'll kill you Naruto!" Eva yelled as she flew out of the sock and grabbed one of the smaller sticks and then proceeded to beat Naruto over the head with it. This playful mood lasted for a while until Naruto realized that Eva was actually flying and he came to a stop to confront her about it. "Hey Eva stop for a moment. Your back I thought it was hurt but yet you're flying". Naruto pointed out to his seemingly all better partner in crime.
Eva just stared at Naruto for a few seconds before busting out laughing. "Wow Naru you really forgot didn't you". Eva said to which Naruto replied "Forgot what?"
Eva just shook her head and began to explain again to Naruto about her physiology. "Naru don't you remember at all, I told you once before that I can heal myself when I'm in the water or ice after all I am a Winter fairy and I can control all the elements that belongs to it. Also seeing as how we were in the water for such a long time I was able to heal myself up". Eva said with a straight and lecturing tone.
"Evangeline". Naruto said using her full name for the first time.
"Huh?" was the reply
"I'm going to kill you! You had me worried sick about you all this time when you were actually ok!" Naruto yelled as it was his turn to chase Eva around the campfire with a stick.
After calming down the two sat down by the fire where there was a long calming silence as they finally got the chance to watch the sunset that they originally set out to do. The two didn't say a word as they watched the end of the sunset with the last of its rays disappearing over the horizon.
The silence was broken when Eva looked up at Naruto as she still in his lap and asked him a question.
"Naru why don't we live out here from now on? You know we have all this natural Nature out here and we could build a small little tree house or log cabin or something? Eva suggested as she turned to get a better look at his face. At this point Naruto laid back onto the soft grass as his bare back came into contact with the grass he let out a content sigh. Looking down at his partner who was walking across his body with a curios and expectant gaze he let out a tried sigh and began to speak. "Yeah I know what you're saying Eva but our home is in the village and I don't want to leave that behind". Naruto explained as he looked up into the sky that was beginning to shoe stars.
"What! Even after all that they have done to you? You would still want to stay their? Look where on the outside of the village, we could leave and no one would notice that we left, not that they would care!" Evangeline shouted as she couldn't understand why Naruto would want to stay in the village that has done nothing but treat him like dirt.
"The leaf is my home Eva, our home… and I'm determined to prove to them all that I'm not a monster or a demon". Naruto said with passion in his voice as he looked down at his partner who was now sitting down on his naked chest.
"Oh and what's wrong with being a Demon or a Monster?!" Eva asked in an offended tone.
"Nothing! But I want to prove to them that I'm not what they think I am. Besides sometimes I wonder if they are right and that I am a demon." Naruto said he quickly calmed down his partner who was insulted about the demon comment since she is one herself. After that his voice trailed off into a subdued tone as he contemplated whether or not he was a demon.
"I can't honestly answer that question Naru because for as long as I've known you and can remember I've always sense demonic energy coming from you and I think that's what's made it easier for me to channel my power through you… but that is beside the point the energy I've always sensed has been small like it was hidden." Eva explained as she tried to comfort her friend.
"Who cares anyway no matter what happens if you turn out to be a demon or human it won't matter because I'll always be by your side". Eva said as she flew up to Naruto's face and gave him a kiss on his nose to which he blushed and swatted her away with her giggling.
"Hey Eva look at it this way, even though we have been through a lot today at least we still got to see our sun set". Naruto pointed out to which Eva who had moved back to her position on his chest smiled and nodded.
Another welcomed silence overcame them as now all they were waiting on was for Naruto's clothes to finish drying.
But their calm and serine silence was broken because that was when it happened.
It started out with the clearing getting unnaturally quiet. All the sounded of nature came to a startling stop. The sounds of the river disturbingly came to a stop as well. Now while Naruto and Eva didn't really pay attention to any of this when the fire all of a sudden blazed up to five times the original size it caused the duo to start paying attention.
"What's going on Eva?" Naruto asked as he sat up and put Eva in his hair. "What happened to all the sound?"
"Naruto we have to get out of here I think something is going to be summoned here." Eva warned as she had a feeling of what was about to happen. "How do you know that?" Naruto asked as he looked around him before standing to get up. ""Don't you remember the same thing happened when you found me remember!" Eva said as she was starting to panic. The fire then suddenly turned white with a gold outline and glow before it exploded sending wave after wave of fire into the forest. Seeing this Naruto flew to the ground with Eva in his hands while his back was to the fire as he desperately tried to shield Eva from the fire. When the fire washed over them Naruto and Eva screamed out. "AHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Huh? Both Naruto and Eva suddenly stopped screaming as they came to the startling discovery that the fire that was clearly on them was not burning at all as a matter of fact they could feel it soothing their bodies as they felt more energized than ever before in their lives. "Eva what is…?" Naruto trailed off as he stared out at the forest and felt his jaw drop.
As he looked on he couldn't believe what he was seeing, everywhere the fire touched in the forest it would not burn and die, but as a matter of fact the exact opposite would happen. All the trees that were covered by the strange golden white fire would instead of die off would grow and get bigger. Naruto could see that the grass that the fire was on would get greener and so would the leaves on the trees. "Amazing!" That was the only thing that Naruto could say as he watched the spectacle unfold in front of his eyes. But across the clearing the opposite was happening as Naruto saw a weird purplish fire burning everything in its path as it seemed like total chaos (Pun intended) was breaking lose as right were the two fires touched there was a strange calm as if life and death became one and excepted one another.
But Naruto and Eva couldn't enjoy this phenomenon for long because that was when they felt it…
A Force.
An Unfathomable force beyond understanding and comprehension slammed into the clearing pinning Naruto and Eva to the ground as the two forces swirled around each other and settled into two sphere 's were the strange flames surrounded them and when they cleared away something that shocked Naruto and Eva down to their very core appeared in the two circles.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! / Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
"Impossible!"
