Ok so I'm trying to make these chapters longer. This is my best shot at it. Tell me what you think of this first chapter.
Disclaimer: the Naruto and dragoon series' do not belong to me.
Chapter 1: Answers, the legacy of the burning Namikaze!
The group began to explore the now dark temple. From the outside it looked completely ruined but when examined closely one could see that there was and entire mansion under the temple. It was full of old rooms and treasures. Naruto and Hinata wandered off from the group to find Naruto a new outfit given what happened to his signature orange jacket. They went through so many rooms before they even found an out fit. And the first one they found was a frilly pink dress. One that Hinata was very insistent that he wear. This caused a very long chase that landed them in a large room. In this circular chamber there were 8 crystals each glowing with a different color. One red, one yellow, one blue, one purple, and one green. The remaining three were dark. Each of these crystals where on shrines at 8 different points in the room. The shrines had a circle carved around them that spiraled around to a smaller circle in the middle. Each of the shrines also had slots for a blade to sit in.
"What the hell is this?" Naruto asked.
"Don't have a clue…" Hinata muttered the pink dress forgotten on the floor. She looked at the shrines, "Naruto try putting your sword in this slot."
"? Why would I do that?" he asked as he pulled it out of the hilt on his back.
"Do it boy" Mirage said as he appeared for the hall. Naruto grumbled but complied.
When the blade slid into its given slot Naruto was covered and flam and shot back. His body was smoking; as it cleared you could begin to see and altered Naruto. He wore black pants and a black shirt with two holes in the back. Over that was a long red trench coat that, like the jacket, had two holes in its back. He wore armored pads on his hands, as well as his shoulders. Finally he wore black leather boots and had two blade hilts on his side. Naruto looked at his new out fit wondering what the !$% just happened.
"Naruto, it's time that I explain what the dragoons really are…." Chiyoko said as she appeared behind Mirage.
"What are you talking about? I already know the legend my ancestor killed the fire dragon and got cursed for it." Naruto stated.
"Yes but there's a lot more to this explanation. First since the curse every male in your family has had the dragon's power over flame. This also includes your father." Chiyoko explained.
"What? How do you know about my father? Tell me who he is!"
"He was the fourth hokage Minato Namikaze." she said looking down ashamed that she kept this secret. Naruto stared at her wide eyed.
"Tell me about him." He commanded though calmer now.
"He was amazing. Head strong. A tactical genius in desperate times. He would jump into idiotic situations and make it through them, sometimes with out a scratch on him." She answered.
"You still haven't told me how you know."
"He was a dragoon and an incredibly strong one at that. The elders told me about him. They said there had never been a stronger dragoon. He, like all dragoons, had one ultimate enemy."
"Ultimate enemy?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, it's different for every dragoon of every generation. That's what the elders were around for; they told the dragoons of their ultimate enemies. They were the ones that raised me."
"You talk about them like their dead."
"Who knows Naruto, they could be, after the Blood Moon there's really no telling who is alive." She said sullenly.
"So who was this ultimate enemy?" Naruto asked to change the subject.
"He was an Uchiha. He was a dragoon. The cosmos dragoon to be precise. At one point he lost it. He used to be your father's friend. But something made him hate everyone. The dragoon of flame more then anyone. Your father fought against him time and time again each time a stalemate, until eventually he disappeared. Your father counted this as his victory. He left his blade and clothes here for the next in line. He never used his flame again." She finished.
"What? Where's his stuff?" he asked excited to have some sort of keep sake of his father.
"You dumb ass. You're wearing it!" she said (AN: yes I know it's obvious and corny but I just felt he should have something of his father's.)
"Cool!" he said as he marveled yet again at his new clothes
"Anyway," she said loudly to recapture Naruto's attention," your father was 16 when he abandoned his blade. He never grew his wings. He left an imprint in his blade. You won't be 16 when you grow yours but I honestly don't know how long you have till you do. And trust me it's not fun." She said as she stood. Then her face contorted in pain, she fell to her ands and knee's as two long black wings burst out of her back.
"Holy shit" Naruto he yelled. He moved to pick up Chiyoko, "are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm ok. It just hurts like hell when the pierce your back. But when there released, you never feel stronger." She explained as she moved form Naruto's grasp.
"So you still haven't told us what dragoon's really are." Hinata said drawing the attention of the two.
"Oh yeah!" Chiyoko yelled as she recalled the original subject," ok you see the dragoons are like a task force of sorts. We take on the bad guys that the ninja can't."
"Oh so we're like superheroes?" Naruto asked stupidly.
"No, superheroes always win. But we don't. Naruto we have to find the last three dragoons, earth, lighting, and cosmos." She said as Zabuza, Daisuke, and Ai entered the chamber.
"They'll have to manage on there own for now. We have to go." Zabuza said panicked.
"Why? What's the problem?" Naruto asked.
"Our time's up. This places barrier won't hold much longer."
"Shit ok we gotta go. Where can we hide?" Chiyoko asked looking at the team.
"I know a place. It's a safe house for me and these two," Mirage said as he pointed to Daisuke and Ai, "it should be safe."
"Then let's get going already!" Naruto yelled.
The world out of the temple was dark. The clouds constantly blocking the sun. The air was cold. The soil dry and dead. You could never feel truly safe. At any moment a monster of some sort could appear out of no where and kill you. The dragoons slowly trekked across the once beautiful woods of the land of fire that is now a barren desert. Naruto and Mirage took the lead, both with blades drawn. Zabuza was at the flank. Hinata and Chiyoko walked in the middle guarding Daisuke and Ai. At the front Naruto and Mirage spoke.
"So how do you know all this stuff about the dragons?"
"When I was younger my parents told me this odd legend, saying that 8 warriors possessed the power of the dragons. Their power was sparked by the blades of the dragon carved out of the dragon's fangs. I knew it was true when I heard your friend mention the blood moon. It was a part of the legend. The blood moon would occur and the dragoons would be the only hope for the world. Honestly boy just be happy I'm helping." He answered.
"Yeah ok suuurrre. So why do you always wear that creepy mask?" he asked speaking of Mirage's demon mask.
"Cause it looks cool." Mirage lied.
"Aww I thought it would be some cool reason!" Naruto said pouting.
"Shut up or I'll kick your ass again."
"AGAIN? Like hell you kicked my ass! It's the other way around!" Naruto yelled pointing at him
"Trust me, had I been at my best you would have lost quickly."
"Your best?"
"Yes I have one other weapon waiting at the safe house, you'll just have to wait and see it." He said as there journey continued.
They continued in silence for a while till some thing grabbed Naruto from below and dragged him down under the earth.
End chapter.
