Redblade: Ok, firstly, this DOES belong here! Most of the story WILL happen in Naruto world! Oh, and watch the marvellous trailer by WolfSoul7 (link is in my profile).
WolfSoul7: Check out my profile too, and remember that we DON'T own Naruto or Trinity Blood. (If I owned them Gaara & Tres would have a looooooooot more screen time. And someone would dig Hidan up.)
RB:Yea, we got the idea... *rolleyes* Let's just begin with the story.

1. Prologue: Worlds Collide

Cardinal Caterina Sforza, Duchess of Milan, the Minister of Foreign affairs for Vatican Papal State, and His Holiness the Pope's older sister, sat in her office and rubbed her aching temples. She'd spent the last two hours trying to make her half-brother, cardinal Francesco di Medici, realise that including any inquisitors to the current operation would result in nothing good. The man had been adamant but fortunately Caterina had managed in prolonging the argumentation long enough to receive a report.

"His Holiness secured. Proceeding to continue clean-up."

Father Tres was always reliable, but now it had been nearly an hour since the cardinal heard a thing from her agents and she was slowly getting a feeling of dread. After all, the Rosenkreuz Orden was not to be taken lightly.

The lady known as 'the Woman of Steel' took off her monocle and gently rubbed the bridge of her nose, letting out a rare sigh.

"Your Eminence?" a clear voice with only a hint of artificial origin rang through the room. "Are you well?"

The cardinal raised the monocle back to her eye and gave the holographic nun who had appeared in front of her desk a small smile. "Don't worry, sister Kate, I'm quite alright. I hope you have good news to report." Caterina fixed her gaze onto the nun.

"As father Tres earlier reported, His Holiness is perfectly safe. A little while ago brother Petro of the Department of Inquisition arrived to serve as an escort on his way back to the Vatican. The Rosenkreuz has pulled back and we're currently estimating the damages." sister Kate reported, her frame occasionally flickering under the cardinal's gaze.

Caterina noted the unusually frequent flickering and the gentle nun's uneasiness. "Sister Kate. What are the bad news?"

"Oh, um... you see, father Abel..." the nun nervously fidgeted with the hem of her habit and shook gently her head."I'll send a video feed, just a moment." The nun's frame vanished and after a while it was replaced with a grainy image of a destroyed vineyard near Firenze. As the picture zoomed down a figure lying on the ground was revealed to the cardinal's eyes.

Father Abel Nightroad, codename Crusnik, was sprawled on the trampled ground, surrounded by a halo of bluish inonised air. His skin showed a shade of gray and his silvery-white hair stood up like a crown. None of this would have been really surprising if the priest wasn't clearly unconscious. And as far as Caterina knew Abel was never out cold unless something was really, really not well. And his other form never stayed activated should the priest fall unconscious.

"What caused this?" the cardinal forced her tone of speech to a clear and near indifferent one even though worry clouded her mind.

"It has not been a hundred percent confirmed," father Tres' monotone voice reported, "but according to the gathered info it seems the enemy's real target was father Nightroad."

Caterina blinked. Twice. "So the abduction of His Holiness was merely... a ruse to lure him out?"

"Affirmative."

At this point sister Kate's voice cut in. "The Professor believes father Abel was injected with something. He said it was nothing to worry about and is currently adjusting a gadget of his to work with medium-to-long range." The nun sounded confident in her colleague's abilities.

After a little while the Professor, father William Walter Wordsworth, appeared to the picture with a device resembling an alien bazooka. He paid his respects to the cardinal and then proceeded to settle his load onto the ground.

"Professor, if you don't mind explaining, what exactly is that?" Caterina asked with mild interest.

The aging man beamed to the blonde cardinal. "Ah, I'm glad you asked. I came up with it a little while ago after having a most interesting conversation with a fellow professor concerning the differences in human and vampire immune systems. You see, for instance, silver nitrate is a deadly toxin to vampires and for us humans it only poses a harm in very large quantities. I have-"

"Yes professor, I'm sure that it's very interesting, but what exactly are you going to do with father Abel?" the blond cardinal interrupted the older man.

"Oh, do forgive me your eminence, it seems I got a bit carried away." the priest smiled mildly and returned to the apparatus, dialling some numbers and adjusting a switch. "The basis of the process utilises ultra-sonic and infrared waves combined with de-stabilised ionical pulses which react within the body and force the foreign substance out. Unfortunately, I've still to name it." The professor smiled triumphantly and gave the device an affectionate pat as it started humming.

Caterina's gaze automatically focused back to the form of the still-unconscious crusnik, eager too see him stand up and give everyone his trademark apologetic grin. As the device fired there was a flash that forced everyone to close their eyes - even father Tres had to readjust his optical sensors. As soon as they could everyone returned their attention to Abel, or to where the silver-haired priest was supposed to be. There was a moment of silence.

"Professor." The cardinal's tone was ominously light as her eyes scanned the landscape. "Would you care to explain what exactly did you just do to father Nightroad?"
