One man stood facing thousands. Any normal man would have run; but this was no normal man. Black flames coated his battered and bloodied body. Tendrils of black energy rising up behind him like tails and black lightning sparked to life around him. Thousands of bodies littered the ground around him. Each charred a charcoal black, some had fist sized holes piercing their bodies. In the background smoke rose up above the tree line and covered the sun, casting the earth below in a black shadow.
"I'LL KILL EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" The mans voice was demonic and tainted, like multiple voices were overlapping it. With that the young man charged towards the army. No fear, no hesitation, nothing. Just determination to destroy those before him.
"Shi keshin. Ikite iru sekai ni hairimasu. Umarekawarimasu." Chanting sounded throughout the area, disturbing the peaceful silence of the forest. "Shi keshin. Ikite iru sekai ni hairimasu. Umarekawarimasu." The voices came from people huddled around in a circle. Each were dressed in black hoods with a red lining. In the centre of the circle was a star with a pentagon in the centre. At the ends of each point were five people dressed in a red cloak with a black lining.
In the centre of the pentagon stood two people, each as naked as the day they were born.
The forest went silent when a pillar of earth rose up into the air. On top stood three people. Two were holding a torch allowing the third person to be illuminated. He was wearing a golden yellow kimono.
"Brothers and sisters! Its time! Time for our master, Lord Jashin to return to us!" Cheers sounded throughout the clearing as men and women raised their hands in the air. All however were unaware of the group of soldiers that had moved to surround the clearing and cut off all chances of escape.

Upon the S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier, Director Nick Fury stood with his arms crossed behind his back. His single eye looking at the screen that displayed the airily view of the units of S.H.I.E.L.D agents closing in on the cult group of Jashin. The cult itself had been around for a while, but had never done anything drastic nor had it consisted of so many members been in one place.
Killing a few animals had been the worst they had done. But recently they had started killing multiple people. Warranting the attention of himself and those in high positions of the government.
"Alpha squad in position."
"Beta squad in position."
"Omega squad in position." Signalled the squad leaders to base. "Relaying video feed."
"Brothers and Sisters! Its time! Time for our master Lord Jashin to return to us!" The video feed showed the man indicating to those stood at the stars points. "With the brain of a philosopher!"
This linked to a murder of a man that had his skull carefully broken and then his brain removed.
"The bone mineral of a warrior!" This linked to the murder of am ex-marine that had just been released from active duty, only to be reduced to human pancake when all of his bones were liquidated and removed. "The eyes of a detective!" This linked to the murder of a young teen that had his eyes plucked from his body. "The tongue of a politician!" This linked to the murder of a young woman who had quickly made a name for herself in the political world. "And finally the heart of a tortured soul!" This linked to the murder of a retired soldier who had fought in both World War One and two having his heart removed.
"With these our master can be returned to us!" The men and women began chanting once more as those on the stars point placed the items in the pentagon. "Light the fire!" Five men walked forwards holding a stick. Upon these sticks was an azure flame, which in itself was an oddity.
"Sir shall we move in?" Asked the Alpha squad leader. Director Fury did not reply and simply stared at the screen. As the five men walked forwards their cloaks opened slightly revealing an AK-47 strapped to their hips. "Sir they have weapons. Do we move in?"
"Move in and eliminate all hostile so." With the order issued the three squads began closing in on the position of the cultists, but it was too late. Fire ignited and spread out along the star pattern among the floor.
In the pentagon the man and the woman began screaming.
"Go, go, go." Gunfire sounded as the multiple bullets tore through the bodies of cultists. The attack was quick and precise, very few cultist managed to aim their guns before been killed. The screams of pain and anger where drowned out by the gale force winds that swept across the clearing.
A lightning bolt flew down from the heavens, but instead of striking the man and woman in the pentagon, it instead struck a bubble of misty black energy. It swirled around before been sucked in. The cultists and the S.H.I.E.L.D agents stared at the empty pentagon before firing upon each other once more.

Blackness surrounded the woman as she stared out into its vastness. It suffocated her, made her feel like invisible walls around her were closing in. Out from the darkness a creature made of black smoke shot out. Its clawed hand trying to claw out her face.
She stepped back in shock only to collide with a steel wall.
Turning around she didn't come face to face with the silvery metal she expected. Instead she came face to face with the pectoral muscles of what could only be described as godly. They were perfectly sculptured and toned. Looking down she saw the abdominal muscles were just as defined and toned.
When she looked up she saw a face that was absolutely divine. Spiky blonde locks that fell down into his face, with two chin length bangs framing the sides. Shining blue eyes that seemed to stare deep into her soul and captivated it. But what was most odd was the three whisker marks that protruded from each of the mans cheeks.
The man most have been aware of her staring as he smirked smugly showing his fangs giving him a feral look.
One of his hands came up and she stared at the bloodied appendage. Claws protruded from each finger, yet even as blood dripped from the hand she didn't shy away from it.
In fact she leaned into the hands embrace, as if welcoming a long lost lover.
"Master?" The question came out of her mouth before she could stop it.
"Yes and your time has come to an end. Just rest." He pulled her face closer to his. She closed her eyes expectantly, however instead of feeling his lips on hers. She instead felt his fangs enter her neck and began sucking the blood from her body. Instead of screaming out in pain, she moaned in pleasure.
Slowly the man leaned forward and placed her on the ground.
"Rest." With that single word the woman's breathing stopped completely.

Once again lightning fell to the ground only to be stopped by the same shield of misty black energy. Those of S.H.I.E.L.D and the cultist watched with baited breath as the energy was sucked into the body of what could only be described as a Gods.
He looked at them with indifference and boredom. As if they were hardly worth his attention. The man wore black baggy pants and a white slash, however both were in tatters and resembled rags that only covered what was needed.
From his back twelve black wings could be seen.
Looking around he saw some of the cultists on the ground holding bullet wounds, while those from Alpha, Beta and Omega squad stood with guns pointed at him.
"Pathetic." With a flap of his wings the man shot up into the air. Raising his hands above his head darkness swirled around them until it took the shape of a ball of black flames. "Flaming Boom of Amaterasu." Those words would mark the day that a new enemy entered the universe. A new enemy so great that it destroyed a group of seventy men in a matter of seconds. That would mark the rebirth of the first Fallen Angel, the rebirth of Lord Jashin, Naruto.

New York. A city in America filled with crime lords, but what many did not know was that it was filled with creatures of the dark. Filled with vampires. At day they stayed hidden from the sunlight, for if they were out in the sun for even a second. They would be reduced to ash in an instant.
At night it was a different story. They hunted down humans for two reasons. To feed upon them or to turn them. Mostly the former.
Currently, Naruto moved through the streets of New York. The moonlight and streetlights casting light upon the ground. Newspapers and litter blow across his path. He wore the same tattered black pants and white sash, over the top was a black cloak which he took from the dead body of a cultist.
Behind him multiple silhouettes moved forwards. Two held bats, and five others walked without anything in hand. They dressed in black leather clothing giving them a thug like appearance. Those with bats purposely made noise by scrapping it against the floor or hitting other objects. In total there was seven.
Naruto allowed a smirk to cross his features, perfectly aware of those following. As well as what they were. Turning right he moved down an alleyway, those behind him followed. Only to find the alley was empty.
"Where the hell did he go?" Shouted one of them. The others were in a similar boat.
"I saw him come down here."
"Maybe you should open your eyes. It might help." Naruto's voice sounded out from all corners of the alleyway. Then from the darkness Naruto appeared. The one in front of him raised his gun and pointed it at his face.
"You're incredibly stupid to show yourself to us. Now why don't you sit tight while we feed upon you." The guy that spoke smirked.
"I have a better idea." Grabbing hold of the barrel of the gun he smashed into the guys face sending him stumbling backwards. Only for a spinning side kick to impact against his chest. To the shock of those watching the guy was sent flying backwards through the air and slammed into the wall, causing spider web cracks to form.
"Oh I'm going to enjoy killing you." Said one of them. Then those six that were still stood up hissed showing their fangs.
"Vampires, how interesting." His hands were coated in black flames, before they disappeared into his hands causing black cracks to form along his hands. "Come then." Two guys charged forward both carrying a bat.
Ducking under a swing he smirked when the stray bat impacted against the second vampires head. Following up he performed an uppercut with his right hand to the vampires head and to further shock those watching the man burst into flames. The second vampire recovered quickly and swung his bat once more.
Using his left hand he performed a hook into the man's bat causing it to dent. Grabbing the man's head he lifted him up into the air and began squeezing to the point the vampires head started caving in. With a shout of pain the mans head burst into flame along with his body.
Bullets impacted against his body before he could react, but instead of seeing blood the vampires saw smoke coming from the bullet holes.
"Was that meant to do something? How pathetic." He snorted in amusement. "Since when did vampires use guns? Or weapons in general?"
In a burst of speed Naruto covered the distance between him and the vampires and unleashed unholy hell upon them.
Appearing in front of a vampire he slammed his fist through the vampires body. Spinning around he performed a flawless roundhouse kick that removed the fourth vampires head from its shoulders.
Naruto parried a knife strike and punched the vampire in his stomach sending it colliding into the final two. Behind him the two vampires burst into flames. Naruto watched as the three vampires got to their feet.
Leaning his head to the side he dodged a knife strike that would have gone through his skull, but then grabbed the vampires head and slammed it into the wall multiple times before he burst into flames. Dusting his hands off Naruto turned to face the final two.
"Kill him." One of them said to the vampire beside him.
"Fuck that you…" Whatever he was going to say was put to an end when the obvious leader of the ground shut him in the head.
"Bravo, bravo." Naruto drawled while clapping his hands mockingly. "From that display I'm guessing you're the leader of this ragtag little group."
"I am and you are?"
"Naruto, but you vampires may know me as the Fallen Angel of Death. Does that ring a bell?" Upon the look of confusion marring the leaders face he knew that his name no longer carried the same weight it once did. Before he was sealed his name very name and moniker would make even the strongest warriors run away in fear. "Gods, even my own creations don't remember me. Let's see if this rings a bell. Jashin the Kage no Shinigami."
Shock was easily seen in the eyes of the unarmed vampire.
What vampire didn't know of Jashin. He was the creator of millions of races. He created Dracula and Mildred him into the monster he became. It was said that Jashin could take on entire armies single handedly, destroy and create entire planets. There had many people that had claimed the title of God, but none were truly more deserving of the title than Jashin himself.
Instantly he fell onto one knee and bowed his head low. "Master." Smirking Naruto turned around and left the alleyway.

Blade a half vampire, half human hybrid. A vampire with none of his kind's weaknesses. Skilled in martial arts, sword fighting and an all-round weaponry expert. A vampire slayer that had killed hundreds of vampires. When things go bump at night, he was there to bump back.
Recently he had tracked down the man named Jared Nomak a vampire and son of Eli Damaskinos. He had recently been turning more humans into vampires than feeding on them.
Jumping off a bridge he landed on the ground quietly before running towards a wall. His keen sense of hearing helped him pick up the conversation between Jarod and a well-dressed man with blonde hair.
This wasn't the first time he had caught Jarod conversing with this same blonde haired man. In fact every time he had come close to killing Jarod this man would appear.
Normally he would not be bothered by such a man, as he could tell the man was not a vampire, but he was neither human. No, he could tell he was something much more and that put him on edge.
"How goes your feasting Jarod?"
"Everything is going well Naruto-sama." Now he had a name to put with the face. He would have to do some research on this 'Naruto' character later on.
"I can see that." Blade watched attentively as Naruto glanced around at the area. In total there were ten vampires feasting upon bodies. But what was more shocking was that there were some vampires among those been fed upon. It was then he remembered a little piece of information on a new breed of vampires. They called themselves the Reapers.
They were faster and stronger than the average vampire, but were also immune to things such as silver and stakes. This was because the thick layer of bone that encompassed their hearts. Not only that, but Jarod had found a way to become immune to sunlight.
Blade didn't like to say this, but he was getting more and more nervous as each day passed by. Jarod had proven himself to be cunning and powerful. He had led him on a wild goose chase for the past three weeks, and on the odd occasion where they did meet in combat he had found himself matched blow for blow. Yet with every fight they had, Blade was finding it harder and harder to survive, let alone fight him.
"How goes the little bird that you have been leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for?"
"Very well, currently he believes I am somewhere on the other side of America." Blade had to force the temptation to snort in amusement knowing it would give away his position, but it was still there.
"I wouldn't be to sure Jarod. I can smell a little black bird nearby." That wasn't a good sign. Blade knew, somehow, some way his position had been compromised. So he did what any person would have done, sneakily try and escape. "Oh so very near." That's when Blade's eyes locked with crimson red eyes with a black slitted pupil. "Hello little bird." Then everything went black.

Groggily blade opened his eyes and stared out at the area around him. Only to close them again as the assaulting light of the room blared into his eyes.
"Rise and shine little bird." There it was, the calm yet mocking voice of Jarod himself. He blinked a few times before staring up at Jarod. He stood their dressed in a black dress suit and pants, a white button up top and had a black tie wrapped loosely around his neck.
Behind him stood two guards each dressed like a buffer would be, they had even had dark skin. That made him chuckle in amusement.
"I do hope you find your accommodations to your liking. You after all will be spending quite a long time here. So best get comfortable." Jarod spoke mockingly. "What not going to speak, no snarky remark. Oh you wound me so." Jarod clutched his heart in mock pain. "Oh well, it can't be helped. Bye, bye little bird." With that Jarod turned on his heel and left.

Entering a black limousine, Jarod took a seats across from Naruto. The man in question sat their with a glass of whiskey in his hand, something that he had taken quite a liking to in this new time and age. Jarod watched as his master took a sip from the beverage before speaking.
"I must admit, when you said you where having trouble with Blade. I assumed he'd be more challenging. However, he turned out to be quite the disappointment. None the less stage one can continue without any interruptions." Naruto spoke calmly, but Jarod could feel it. It had always been their, underneath the perfectly crafted façade his master has placed upon him. The pure, untainted anger, the desire to see the entire world; no universe destroyed. Jarod could feel this mans desire to teach the world the true meaning of pain!
