What is up guys and girls and welcome to my first ever Naruto and crossover fanfic it's called Guardian of the past, I know its lame but working two jobs tends to put me in a class ten writer block and needless to say it sucks bad really bad. The pairings are Jedi Knight, Naruto Uzumaki, the rookie eleven and Kushina. The story starts from the wave mission/Chunin Exams and will go on from there. I do not own star wars the old republic it belongs to Disney and bioware and Naruto still belongs to its current owner and creator.
Here's chapter one arrival and liberation of wave
Eternal Alliance flagship gravestone command deck 0935 hours
On the command deck of the Gravestone stood a man with brown blondish hair, a beard and blue eyes, his face has four age lines and both sides of the cheeks, he is wearing the Jedi Guardian standard issue robes with armor shoulder pads, armored gauntlets, a belt with four patches on the front and a small carry-on bag on the back of the belt itself, armored greaves and boots. (A/N this is the resolute guardian armor set)
This man's name is Marik-Din, the Eternal Alliance Commander and Savior of the galaxy he also had a past life that he left behind, he was once known as Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze the third container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune and Genin of the leaf village. He told himself multiple times that he was done with that life. He was holding a frog like wallet, a headband with a leaf symbol and a photo of an old guy and three kids in his right hand.
Marik heard the bridge doors opened and a female with light blonde hair and yellow eyes came in. This woman's name is Lana Din Beniko, she is Marik's wife and like Marik she too had a past life she was once known as Ino Yamanaka. She saw Marik holding his past life's effects, she walked towards him and wrapped her arms around Marik's armored body. Lana: You still can't let go of the past can't you? Marik you need to move on.
Marik: I wish I could Lana and believe me I really want to put the past behind me. When I was still Naruto, I found out who my parents were and what they did, I was so angry I renounced my parent's names along with my birth name. I made the entire leaf village refer to me as Marik-Din and the only way you can call me by my birth name is if you have earned that right. The entire village minus you, Ayame and her old man and Anko have not earned that right, the reason why it's because you four treated me nicely and you cared for me and not only that we both agreed to fake our deaths via blood clone jitsu. Do you remember that?
Lana: I do my past life's mother wanted to marry me off to Sasuke, I ran away from my house and went to your apartment. It's funny really.
Marik: What is?
Lana: That time works differently among the stars. I feel like I'm in my thirties.
Marik: I find it funny too, when we faked our deaths I asked the Kyuubi no Kitsune to change our looks and give us new identities and the leaf village still thinks we're dead, after he changed our looks he died and his Chakra is mine to use as I see fit and not only that the old fool Sarutobi told me that wench of a mother Kushina is still alive. The Kyuubi also gave me a gift and a curse, its immortality.
The bridge navigation alarms came on, indicating that they are closing in on their destination. Marik: Looks like we're coming up on Ikaros. Cutting the engines now. Marik turned off the Gravestones sub light engines and the Alliance flagship along with the other Eternal Alliance ships exited hyperspace. The planet Ikaros came into view. The fleet ships are listed as follows
Twenty five Thranta class Corvettes and Terminus Class Destroyers
Forty five Valor class cruisers and Harrower class dreadnoughts
Fifth teen Wanderer class and Gage class Transports
Six hundred Talon class and Mark six Supremacy class Starfighters
All these ships has the Eternal Alliance Symbol on their hulls along with its color scheme.
Alliance Sensor Technician: Commander we've detected signs of battle coming from the fourth planet of the Ikaros system, bringing the planets geology up now.
The technician pulled up the planets geology and had the entire map region of the planet itself. Marik and Lana went into a meditation trance to see if they can pinpoint the sounds of battle. Moments later Marik and Lana got up and went to the helmsman seat. Marik: I'll take it from here pilot
Gravestone helmsman: Aye sir
Marik took the flight controls and headed towards the area where he and Lana detected the sounds of battle, they activated the Gravestones cloaking generator and went invisible. Lana: This Lana to alliance fleet ships set up a base of operations on the island that is surrounded by vortexes in the water and deploy three gunships loaded with Havoc Squad, some alliance soldiers myself and Marik.
The alliance fleet did what Lana told them to do, they entered the planet's atmosphere and went towards the island that was once known as Uzushiogakure. Marik and Lana entered the gunship and headed towards the battle.
Four hours later
Wave country Ikaros 0959 hours
On the outskirts the wave village a fight is happening between a man with no eyebrows, and a man with spiked up silver hair, the silver haired man is wearing a headband that is covering his left eye and his mouth is covered with a mask and the silver haired man was not alone. Three children were there with him along with an old man. The first child has pink hair and is wearing biker shorts and a red battle like dress, the second child had spiked up, blue blackish hair and is wearing a blue collared shirt with a fan on the back, tan shorts and arm bands with some blue color on the rims the third child has black hair and his skin is very pale on his back is a sheath with a small like sword type blade.
The people who were protecting that old man they're names are Sasuke Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Sakura Hanuro and Sai. Kakashi ordered his students to defend the old man at all cost, the battle was not going well in their favor, Kakashi was getting tired and the man he was facing has him trapped inside a water like dome; that man's name is Zabuza Momochi as for the old man his name is Tazuna, he is a chief construction worker in Wave
Zabuza was not alone in this battle several thugs snuck up behind Sakura and knocked her out, Sasuke and tried to help her but were hit by a dart made of poison.
The thugs gathered them up and brought them to shore. Just as they were about to finish them off one of the thugs saw a cloud of water approaching them. The old man saw this and was wondering what was going on and Kakashi was thinking the same thing.
With Marik and Lana
Gunship pilot: Time on target sixty seconds.
Marik: Alright listen up, as you all know the Eternal Alliance's main goal to keep the peace in the galaxy and to make new relationships with any other primitive cultures. Right now there is a battle going on in that village our objective is simple assist the people in that battle and eliminate the enemy. This planet is also where Lana and I were born, we once had a previous life on this planet. Here's our objectives clear the village of any hostiles, treat any victims and give them medical attention if needed. We'll set up a command post at this building that has a dock.
Gunship Pilot: Time on target thirty seconds.
Marik: Gunship ship Echo free those people on the shore, Gunship Yavin deploy Havoc Squad and secure the Village, Gunship Aruek head to that building I mentioned. Also if you encounter that man with the silver hair along with his students do not engage Lana and I will sort them out.
The gunships arrived to their assigned points and dropped of their cargo. Gunship Pilot: Green light! Go! Go! Go!
Major Jorgan and Havoc squad entered the wave village and did multiple sweep and clears, they encountered resistance but it was nothing to worry about.
With Zabuza and the thugs
Zabuza: Haku, pull Gato's men out we're retreating. A boy wearing a mask with a water kanji nodded his head and did what his master told him to do. The demon of the mist, his apprentice and the thugs escaped but some of them got hit by the gunships blaster turret. The thug is still alive so two alliance fighters took him to Marik. Several more alliance soldiers secured the area and four alliance medics tended to Kakashi and his students injures. The medics put them on hover-stretchers and took them to their command post. Moments later the medics finished their job and the four leaf nins were put in a medical tent so they can rest and recuperate.
Six days later
Kakashi woke up and saw that he was in a tent, he looked around and found Sakura, Sasuke and Sai sleeping on different beds. Sakura woke up the same time as Kakashi.
Sakura: Kakashi-Sensei what is this place?
Kakashi: From what I can tell it looks like a medical tent but this equipment is highly advanced and not made here. I'm gonna look around you can join me if you wish.
Kakashi and Sakura exited the tent and saw some people covered in armor and were holding items that they have never seen before. One of the men approached Kakashi and Sakura motioned them to sit.
Kakashi: Thanks for helping me and my group, who are you?
Man: I'm Captain Ralo of the Eternal Alliance and these men you see we are not from this planet, we came from the stars in outer space.
Sakura: I'm Sakura Hanuro, Kakashi is team leader we were on an escort mission until we were ambushed by that missing-nin Zabuza, we didn't know he was alone we should've have foreseen it.
Kakashi: Yes we've should've. Are you in charge of this Alliance?
Ralo: I'm afraid not, the person in charge of the Eternal Alliance is Marik-din a war veteran of the second Galactic war.
Kakashi: What is the second Galactic war?
Ralo touched his cybernetic implant to initiate a flashback memory, the memory took them to the events of the first galactic war then to the second. Ralo also showed events that revolved around Marik from when he join the Jedi Order to the annulation of Ziost. Ralo ended the flashback and both Kakashi and Sakura had a horrified look on their faces. Sakura: 'feeling scared' So that was what a war and losing someone feels like, Kakashi-sensei I don't think I can do this ninja thing anymore, I hereby relinquish my rank and headband due to being emotionally compromised. Can you please note this in your report when we return?
Kakashi: 'lets out a sigh' alright give me your headband when we get back I'll tell the hokage.
Sakura did as she was told and walked off to take her mind off of things, she walked towards Tazuna's house and saw two people sitting over the pier, not far from the pier is a tent and a small campfire with a pot above it. Marik: I knew you would wake up eventually, welcome to our camp Sakura-chan.
Sakura: How do you know my name, only Naruto-baka calls me that 'looks the other way' but he's dead and so is my childhood friend Ino-pig.
Lana: You are truly confused forehead, things have changed since we faked our deaths, Marik and I were once known as Naruto Uzumaki and Ino Yamanaka, Marik was on the Republic side and I was on the Sith Empire side, we've reunited ourselves back on Manaan.
Marik: What Lana is trying to say is that the demon that was sealed into me the Kyuubi no Kitsune changed our identities and gave us a new life in other words we are the reincarnations of Ino Yamanaka and Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and you can come out now Inu-chan.
Kakashi jumped down and charged at Marik, Marik used his power to freeze him in place while two Alliance fighters shoved him to the ground. Marik approached Kakashi and looked at him in the eyes. Marik: Search him.
The soldiers patted Kakashi down and found a book that looked like a personal log book. Along with the book are several Kunai knives, Ninja Stars, a Katana and porn book. Lana has Sakura in a choke hold in case she tried anything stupid.
Alliance Soldier: Sir you better read this some kind of a journal, some of the entries contained stuff about your previous life.
Marik and Lana read all the journal entries and took a few moments to process this information. Lana then used her other hand to shoot lighting at Kakashi giving him some electoral burns, the burns has blood coming out of them but not enough to kill him. The medics rushed forward to help Kakashi but were stopped when Marik ordered them to stand down.
Marik: Do not help him, he needs to learn his lesson on eavesdropping on conversations that does not concern him along with attacking the third former jinchuuriki of the leaf. The same jinchuuriki who faked his death along with the former Yamanaka heiress. Lana release Sakura.
Lana: 'releases her choke hold' yes commander
Sakura fell to her knees and used her right hand to hold her neck and started gasping for air. Sakura got up and sat on a rock.
Sakura: 'still gasping' so it is true you two really are Naruto and Ino, why would you make Konoha think you were dead, Ino do you have any idea what you put your parents, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Choji, Shikamaru, Sasuke and I through? Do you? and you Naruto-Baka do you have any idea what you put Iruka-sensei, lord third, Hinata, the Neko and Hebi Anbu's, the Ichiraku's, lady Inuzuka, Lord Hyuuga and I through? Do you?
Marik-din: We do, we just don't care and besides Lana and I are married, we have a kid who is beyond you and your villages reach. His name is Nolan and like us he too had a previous life, he was once known as Shinji Ikari.
While this was going on, a woman with red hair was watching watch from a distance and needless to say, she had a sad look on her face and she was not alone, a boy and girl with blond hair with red streaks are with her too as well. The woman and the two kid's names are Menma, Naruko and Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze. She is wearing a headband with a cloud on it.
Menma: So that man with the beard was Naruto-nii-san, Kurama did a really good job on changing his appearance along with the Yamanaka Heiress.
Naruko: I still can't believe he hates you kaa-chan.
Kushina: 'sighs sadly' he has every right to hate me and your father, we sealed Kurama into him when he was an infant, I begged Minato not to do it but he did and now your eldest brother hates me.
Voice: So you are the commander's biological mother.
The kumo trio turned around and saw a man and brown hair spiked up in the front, his outfit consists of a belt with loops on both sides, black boots that go up to the knees, brown gloves and pants, a red short sleeve jacket with a red long sleeve shirt and a cybernetic implant on the left side of his face. This man's name is Theron Shan.
Kushina: Who are you?
Theron: I'm Theron Shan and I know your ex-son along with his burden.
Kushina: How do you know about Kurama and my son's past?
Theron: Because the commander told me and not only that he told the entire galaxy about it too as well. I even save a holo recording if you wanna hear it. Theron gave them a holo communicator and turned on the recording, the recording lasted for twenty minutes before exploding into pieces.
Theron: You know the Commander and I have the same thing in common, our mothers abandoned us when we were kids. I'm done here.
Theron walked away but was stopped when he felt Naruko and Menma hugging him. Theron looked down and saw tears coming out of their eyes. Naruko: Please I want to see my brother.
Menma: As do I
Theron: Alright you can see him, but if your mother wants to come with she'll have to be treated as a prisoner. Men detain the commander's biological mother.
Seven alliance troopers deactivated their stealth field generators and placed a neural disruptor on Kushina's neck. The troopers then handcuffed Kushina and took her to the command post while Theron took Naruko and Menma to Marik.
With Marik and Lana
Marik: Theron what are you doing here? I told you to stay at Odessen with Koth and Senya.
Theron: I know but your son told me to go in order to keep an eye on you and Lana, he does care about you two after all.
Marik: I am the Alliance Commander Theron, not Nolan. Theron: Alright fine but I found three people that seem to know you. Marik saw Kushina and charged at her with his Lightsaber drawn, he pinned her up against a tree and placed his lightsaber on Kushina's neck.
Theron: Commander wait! She surrendered of her own free will and not only that she has two other kids as well.
Marik saw Naruko and Menma hiding behind Theron then looked back at Kushina. Marik deactivated his lightsaber and clipped it back on its belt, he still kept Kushina pinned up against the tree to insure that she don't try anything stupid.
Marik: You are lucky I know restraint and not only that, my son still wants to meet his grandmother and I will not deny him that privilege. Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze for the crime of child abandonment I find you guilty. Consider yourself a prisoner of war to the Eternal Alliance, men take her away and throw her in the Brig, her kids shall have my chambers.
Kumo lighting country Raikage tower 1300 hours
BOLT: Lord Raikage.
The fourth Raikage A looked up from his and saw both the BOLT Operative and his secretary.
A: What it is?
BOLT: Kumo Ninja Nii has reported that Jounin Uzumaki Namikaze and her kids have been captured by people that have weapons and equipment that we have never seen before. Their last known location is in the land of waves south of fire country. Your orders?
A: Send in Yugito Nii, Samui and her team including her brother. Do we have any other info on the people responsible?
BOLT: We do sir, Nii overheard one of their conversations, the people that have Jounin Uzumaki Namikaze and her kids; they are not from the other ninja villages or other countries.
A: Are you saying they're from outer space? I assume you have proof?
The BOLT member nodded and took out several photos. BOLT: These photos were taken from your younger brother when he was doing recon on the eastside of lighting country.
Ay looked at the photos and gave them back. Ay. Have Bee return and take over, I'm heading over to wave with team Samui and Yugito. Remember this you never had this conversation with me or have any knowledge of this am I clear?
BOLT: Yes lord Raikage
The next day
Eternal Alliance F.O.B. with Naruko and Menma
Kushina's other children Naruko and Menma were in Marik's room, they've just awoken and saw a cube like object. Menma went over to touch it while Naruko tried to stop him. But it was too late the object came to life and a hologram of Marik came online.
Recording of Marik-Din: This is the personal holocron of Jedi Battlemaster Marik-Din, this holo-record contains the historical events of my life before the fall of the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire. My history…. As a Galactic war veteran my story takes place on the Ancient Jedi Homeworld of Tython. The holo started telling the stories of Marik's battle experiences along with showing his kill list along with the events involving the revolt against the Eternal Empire. Twenty minutes later the holo-recrording ended and deactivated itself. Naruko and Menma heard the door open and saw Marik standing there with his arms crossed demanding an explanation.
(A/N play see what I've become do not own!)
Naruko: Is it true? Did you really kill those people?
Marik: I did and not a day goes by that their deaths will haunt me for the rest of my life and beside what happened to those people was a long time ago, I moved on.
Just then, a fusing sound was heard from Menma's backpack, he opened it and a little baby girl that looked like a four year old came out. Naruko: Menma you idiot! You brought Mito with us.
Menma: She wanted to come and not only that she gave me the jitsu that every guy hates the most, yes she gave me the puppy eyes with tears.
Mito opened her eyes and saw Marik, she hid behind Naruko and got scared. Naruko hugged her to calm her down.
Naruko: Mito that man in front of you is Naruto, our eldest sibling. Mito calmed down and hugged Marik's armored chest.
Marik: That name no longer has any meaning to me Naruko. I have a new name and its Marik-Din and that blonde lady is my wife, her name is Lana Beniko she was once known as Ino Yamanaka and we have a kid name Nolan. He is not here right now, there is something I want to show you three.
(End see what I've beome)
Meanwhile with Kushina
Kushina woke up and observed her surroundings, he saw another cell across from her and recognized the resident; it was Kakashi and he looks like shit.
Kushina: It's been a while Kakashi-kun
Kakashi: That is has Kushina-nee, where are we?
Voice: You are in the Gravestone's brig. The two prisoners heard a voice and saw a man wearing white clothing, his left hand is robotic while his right hand is flesh and skin and the man's left side of his face has heavy scaring on it. This man's name is Arcann the former emperor of the eternal empire of Zakuul.
Kushina: Who are you?
Arcann: I am Arcann, I was once an emperor of a great empire until I was dethroned by Marik-din; I have been redeemed by him he succeeded in bringing me back to the good side. I will leave you two alone now.
Arcann left the brig and left Kushina and Kakashi alone. Kushina: Kakashi, what's been happening since I resigned from the Leaf?
Kakashi: Iwa initiated a pre-emptive strike on us, lord Jiraiya resigned too as well due to not taking Naruto's supposed death well and his whereabouts are unknown it's like he vanished. Kushina, your teammates Tsume and Hiashi are in the hospital they are in a coma, Hiashi's oldest daughter Hinata took over the Hyuuga clan as its new clan head and Tsume's daughter Hana took over as the Inuzuka clans new leader, their clans elder council are no more, they've turned their clans into a dictatorship and not only that the fire lord heard what the villagers did to Naruto before he faked his death, he cut the villages funding down to fifty percent as punishment for neglecting his friends son. Asuma is the fifth hokage now, Lord third suffered from a heart attack and was forced to resign.
Kushina: Who lead the attack?
Kakashi: The third Tsuchikage's granddaughter and she wasn't alone Han and Roshi were with her when the attack began. She is now the commander of all Iwa ninja forces in the field
Ikaros four in orbit
Mito: This world is like a ball from here.
Marik: I know, I had the same thought when I first entered space.
Mito ran towards Marik and hugged him, she started crying because she is now meeting her older sibling for the first time, Naruko and Menma did the same thing.
Marik looked at Theron and the rest of the Gravestone crew and were worried about their commander. Theron: Clear the bridge! Everyone out.
The bridge crew left the bridge so Marik and his long lost siblings and spend some time alone.
Five minutes later
Naruko, Menma and Mito passed out due to letting out their emotions. Marik left the bridge and locked the entrance so no one can disturb them. Marik saw Theron and approached him. Marik: Theron, what's the status of our base in Uzu?
Theron: Our base on that piece of land surrounded by whirlpools is now at one hundred percent complete. Nolan is awaiting the evacuation order as we speak.
Marik: Good Tell Nolan that he may proceed with the evacuation of our Odessen base, have him arm the quantum bomb and erase everything from our computers flight logs included.
Theron: Got it commander.
An Alliance trooper came in and saluted Marik. Alliance trooper: Apologies commander but there's a man name A that wants to speak with you, he wears the same headband that your birth mother wears, he's their leader and he's not alone, two soldiers are with him too as well and they are very similar to you sir.
Martik: Bring him to my office at the F.O.B. Theron you will be joining me and Lana.
The next day
A: So you are the eldest son of Kushina, she never told me that she had you before she had her other three children. Gotta say you look older and wiser and not only that I see that you've been through many battles.
Marik: You look good too, lord Raikage.
A: A person that knows how to show respect, I like you already. So how is Satele Shan?
Marik: How do you know her?
A: My grandfather and father, the second and third Raikage met her and her teacher, I understand that her teacher has horns on his head.
Marik: The person you described was Master Kao Cen Darach, he's a Zabrak and he's dead killed by a Sith name Malgus. Satele still lives but her whereabouts are unknown and also the organization she and I were in had fallen, in other words they're members including its council are all but scattered.
A: I'm sorry to hear that, these Sith you speak of? We're they responsible?
Marik: Theron show him.
Theron showed him Marik's holo journals that contained the events of when the Eternal Empire of Zakuul invaded the core worlds and attacked both the Republic and the Sith Empire. A, Killer Bee and Yugito were all shocked to the core.
Yugito: So did you get revenge?
Marik: Oh I did get revenge and not only that I made the throne become a master terminal so I can control the fleet itself. So what do you want?
A: We heard you have Kushina and her children as prisoners, we want you to return them. Her children are not in the Kumo ninja academy yet.
Marik: Naruko, Menma and Mito Uzumaki Namikaze are on my ships bed chambers sleeping, Kushina is in the ships brig but it doesn't matter anymore you can have her back now I got all the info I need from her.
A: Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze will be punished for her crimes against you. Can you please bring her out?
Marik: Theron order the guards that are stationed in the Gravestones brig and bring her here she's being released. Lord Raikage permission to take full custody of Naruko, Menma and Mito Uzumaki Namikaze since I'm now the only family they have left.
A: Permission granted, I'll have Samui and her team pack up their things and bring them to you, where is your base?
Marik: In the land of the Whirlpools, where the Uzu once stood.
Moments later two Alliance soldiers entered the F.O.B. and pushed Kushina towards A's feet. Marik: Bring in the notice/decree and show it, I'm now this woman's children's new guardian.
Alliance solder: Yes sir.
The Raikage's guards took Kushina and disappeared in a puff of smoke, the Raikage also did the same thing except it was a flash of yellow lighting. Marik looked at Naruko, Menma and Mito and walked towards them. Marik then ruffled their hairs. Lana was looking at them and had a smile on her face.
Lana: He really is good with kids. Isn't he senya?
Senya was also with Lana and had a smile on her face too as well and she is having a flashback when her sons and daughter were playing together. She then also had a tear coming down her face.
She then left the scene to take a breather.
With Marik and Kakashi
Marik was sitting in front of Kakashi with his arms crossed, there was a table in between them and Kakashi's left arm is chained to it. The chain's material is designed to suppress any person that has any type of energy that use, force sensitive and Chakra included.
Marik: I've been reading your journal and I gotta say Kakashi-sensei I feel insulted you thought that you were the only son Minato wanted just because he took you in when your father was killed.
Kakashi: Minato-Sensei was your father Naruto. He would be rolling in his grave right about now for what you are doing.
Marik: Minato Namikaze or Kushina will never and I mean ever be my parents. Parents would not condemn their child by making them into a Jinchūriki just like when Kushina was one. Parents would not abandon their first born and have more children so those said children would not know about their older brother along with joining another ninja village who happened to be the same village that captured Kushina when she and Minato were children and not only that god-parents should not go peeping on girls bath houses along with drinking and gambling. That's right Kakashi I'm talking about the two former leaf sannin Jiraiya and Tsunade Senju. So don't go saying that he would be ashamed of me, he's dead to me along with Kushina and my God-parents the only family I have now is my wife Lana formerly known as Ino Yamanaka, my son Nolan formerly known as Shinji Ikari, and my siblings Naruko, Menma and Mito nothing more.
A beeping sound was heard from Marik's earpiece indicating that someone was trying to talk to him and Marik knew who that said person was. Marik opened a holo channel and a holo of Nolan showed itself. Nolan: Father, the Odessen base has been evacuated and the quantum bomb is armed and ready to detonate on your command be advised a republic invasion force entered the system as we entered hyperspace.
Marik: Good work Nolan now detonate the bomb destroy the invasion force including its fleet that's orbiting its planet.
Nolan: Detonating now….. Our scout probe has detected a powerful energy wave emitting from Odessen before it was destroyed. The wave consumed that fleet.
Marik: Excellent now head for Ikaros and touch down on your grandmother's homeland.
Nolan: Got it dad heading to your home planet right now Nolan out.
Marik ended the transmission and saw Kakashi giving him a shocked look. Marik: Surprised Kakashi? You and the rest of the ninja villages should be.
Marik exited the brig and saw Sakura and Lana walking towards him. Marik: What is it Lana?
Sakura: Marik I wanted to say I'm sorry for treating you poorly, my mom told me that you were a bad person due to being the nine tailed fox's jailer. When I heard that you and my childhood friend/rival died I laughed it off at first but then I realized that I should've never been a stuck up bitch. Sakura couldn't say anything else as she started to cry hard.
Lana: That's not the only thing we came here to talk about. The swordsman that we encountered has kidnapped that bridge builder's daughter and kid. His employer a midget name Gato has arraigned a meeting place. He says that if you defeat that said man who he calls Zabuza he'll release them but he says to come alone.
Marik: If this gato person wants a fight he'll get one. Where's the meeting place?
Lana: At the village market square.
Marik: Then let's go.
End of Chapter one
Next time – Liberation of Wave part 2
