Ranger24: Something I figure I had to do even if Nukid isn't going to do anymore Nostalgia Kid's. We need closure.
The Quest.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
The morning after Nukid's Top 11 Stupidest things about Naruto Ranger knelt on the ground just outside the Author Fighter headquarters surrounded by the corpses of Die hard Naruto fans. Otherwise known as Narutards.
As he searched the Ground X Prodigy came out, a cup of coffee in hand.
"You still at it?" He asked.
"I've almost got it," Ranger growled.
"Oh really and then what?" X demanded. "I hate to say it but even if you can pick up their trail we're way to heavily out numbered to take on that army."
"Their a smaller group now," Ranger replied.
"How do you know?" X asked.
Then in answer Ranger yanked a Kunai knife out of a corpse out and handed it to X.
"Because they turned on each other," Ranger answered. "They took him and feel upon each other over the spoils. The smaller groups fled away, the larger ones fought it out until one managed to get clear of the slaughter."
He then led X to the ruined wall.
"And then they fled east," he said grimly.
"How many?"
"Large enough to win through but thinned out by serious losses and able to move quickly." Ranger said. "My guess is no more than four hundred, no less than two hundred."
"Can you take that many?" X asked.
Ranger turned and headed back to Head quarters.
"We'll just have to find out." He replied.
Thirty minutes later Ranger began slapping together Sol and Luna. The mismatched twin pistols were put together and loaded in seconds. He slipped them in their respective holisters and then snatched up his Long Bow. He tested the weapon, listening for any creaking or sound of strain on the weapon. To his comfort there was none. He then belted on not only Ddraig S Caul but his old Longsword Rosemont as well. Last off all he slid his handy Seaxe knife into a sheath in his boot.
Armed and equipped he stepped out of his room only to find X waiting for him, the Sparda hanging from his back.
"What are you doing?" Ranger asked.
"Going with you," X replied.
Ranger eyed him, sizing him up and then nodded.
"Fine."
The two started down the hall only for Airnaruto suddenly joined them.
"You?" Ranger said raising an eyebrow.
"I'm not sitting this party out," Airnaruto replied as they stepped onto the elevator.
"Even though Nukid bashed one of your favorite shows?" X asked.
"He did it in a fair manner," Airnaruto replied. "Those other fans totally over reacted."
"Good enough for me," Ranger said.
They only managed to go down one floor before the door opened again and MistressofDawn stepped on board cracking her knuckles.
"You too?" Ranger asked.
"Of course," she replied.
"Fine but you're the last one," Ranger said. "We don't want this party to be every person in the FAF."
Everyone in the elevator muttered their agreement.
The elevator reached the bottom only to find Lunatic121 waiting for them.
"No." Ranger said flatly.
"Aw come on," Looney begged.
"No."
The group started for the exit Looney following them.
"Come on guys, please!"
"Looney your probably among the least combat effective people on this team," Ranger snapped. "That and you seem to have an IQ of negative 4."
"No I don't!" Looney said offended.
"Manga Month." All of the current party members said at the same time.
Looney hung his head in shame.
The party made it to the door and Ranger threw it open.
"Doesn't mean you can't follow us though," he shot over his shoulder. "Just stay out of our way."
Looney's face lite up like someone had just told him it was Christmas morning.
"Are you serious?" X hissed out Looney's hearing.
"Hey we can always use him as food if we get hungry or need a meat shield." Ranger said with a shrug. "Besides gives me a chance to piss some wisdom into his skull about Warhammer 40k before he royally screws the pooch on Shinji and the Warhammer40k."
"Good call," Mistress agreed.
In about a minute the party reached the breach in the wall and came to a halt as Ranger checked the trail.
"Most of the Narutards..."
"Ahem!" Airnaruto said.
"Enemies," Ranger corrected lamely. "Fled out this path. We're looking for one of the larger groups however. If they've got Nukid they have one person carrying an extra 150+ pounds of weight on them."
"Aren't you supposed to be the tracker?" Mistress asked.
"Aren't you supposed to be a werewolf?"
"You want me to smell for Nukid?"
"Only if we have to," Ranger replied. "That's why I brought this."
He pulled out what appeared to be a pair of Nukids socks in a plastic bag.
"Okay ew." Mistress said in disgust.
"As I said only if we have to," Ranger replied stowing the bag away. "Now in the roughly quoted words of Aragorn in the Two Towers, book not Movie, "forth the five hunters!"
And with that they surged forth, Looney bringing up the rear.
Ranger24: And so ends the first chapter. I estimate this story will at worst be ten chapters long, I'm hoping to keep it short though. One chapter to every Hunter and then the climax. And to Lunatic and TLsouldude, Please pay attention to any thing pertaining to Warhammer 40k I say in this fic or fans of the series will find you in kill you in ways you can't begin to image before throwing your souls to the chaos gods to be devoured.
