Hey everyone, hoping that the first chapter was up to par. Let's get this ball on the roll. I still do not own them...I can't wait until Scalebound hits the market.

Chapter 2: So That Happened

Team Sigma walk out of the swirling vortex, checking the immediate area for any danger. After a tense few minutes, one of the armored figure brings a finger to where its ear would be, "Area is secure sirs, you're free to pass." The vortex pulse once more revealing Naruto in his samurai like armor and the scientist. If someone saw the armor from above, they would have seen an orb of blood red with a dark orange and a black dot. Naruto looks around, taking in the sight of the tall and advance buildings, "Doctor, what can you tell me about this place?"

The armored scientist hums while walking up to a building, tapping on its surface, "Hm, combination of brick and metal. From the properties my Bloodline Limit is telling me, a mixture of steel like alloy...not as strong as normal chakra metal and not even close to our synthetic chakra metal." Nodding, Naruto turns to Team Sigma as they snap to attention, "Alright, I'm saying this once and only once, ronins I want you to sneak into the library and retrive any books that will have the language of the land in exact detail," seeing the ronins moving, he turns and point out eight yakuza, "and I want you eight to find a place we can set up shop, the rest are to stay here and defend the area until we move there." The first group of yakuzas left swiftly while the last group tighten to form a circle around the two. Glancing over Team Sigma's armor, he can't help but smirk at the concept. The yakuzas' armor were made to cover the more fragile area of the body, the neck, head, heart, and other important organs, with less dense and more manuverable armor covering everything else. The ronins had armor made from a type of chimeric cattle, flexible enough to move and dodge quickly yet strong enough to take a chakra infused kunai launched from one of snow country's kunai launcher without a scracth.

'Well, if it doesn't have a explosive tag on it,' he thinks grimly before turning to the scientist. The bio-engineer's armor was made like the ronins' armor but less combat oriented and it came with a lab coat, the only difference from the normal armor was the crimson trim, "Checking me out again Naruto-sama? You sure, you're straight?" Naruto rolls his eyes with a snort , "As a cucumber, Doctor. Why, dissapointed?" While they laugh together, the scientist looks at the him and memorised the simularities of the yakuza's armor and their Rojo. Like the yakuzas, his armor is more armored in the fragile area and less in the non important ones however, Naruto's gauntlets have sharp, almost claw like fingers while his greaves have a sickle like feature above the big toe that seems to twicth at random intervals.

Everyone had a helment made of a chakra reinforced one way mirror. All of Team Sigma's helm look like a snake with spikes around behind the eyes and two pointed ears while the scientist's helment, being their team leader, had small horns infornt of the ears and a tuff of black fur going down its 'head'. Naruto headgear had antler like horns, a crimson mane, and a small mustache like whiskers at the tip of the snout.

Few Hours Later (Forward Base) 1530 12 September, XX22

The ronins easily snuck into the library and came back, mere moments before the yakuzas had. After having Home Nest send over the corrodinents, the portal was closed and reopened at their forward base. Team Alpha, with their black armor, and Team Omega, wearing the light grey armor, had reinforce them along with Screech Squad with their chakra mounts. The chakra mounts snarl and hiss at their riders, deeply angry at them for dragging them away from their warm and comfortable stables. Then again, Team Sigma are receiving a lot of anger because-

"You mean to tell me, that we have to use...a sewer access tunnel...as our base of operation?" The eight yakuza bow deeply, head press onto the cleaner ground, and tremble at the venom in Naruto's voice as he gaze upon them. One of them brings his head up to explain when Naruto's right greave slash down on his ear, his sickle claw carving part of his face and drawing blood. As the young yakuza yells in agony, Naruto motions for one of the healers, wearing armor that offers the most protection, to heal him, "I don't care as long as you could not find a better place...so please pardon my lashing at you, it was unnessecary." As the team walks the same way as their injured fellow, Naruto sighs deeply, "Doctor, my pills if you would."

*Flashback: Small Hope Orphanage

A eight year old girl with short white hair and green eyes, creeps towards the large door. Her hands shake as she opens them quietly, taking a scared look behind her. Seeing no one, she takes a tentative steep outside and flinch back, 'Maybe I should have put on shoes.' "Orta! Where are you stupid child?!" Orta flinches at the harsh voice that causes her to tremble in fear before dashing outside with her small backpack and amulet. This girl is fortunate.

Had she stayed, the matron would have sold her like the others.*

Bokua Street 1900 15 December XX22

Orta stumbles around the corner, her clothes tears and her feet bleeds from misuse and overuse. Her once white hair turned silver and eyes heavy with sleep, 'Well fuck you too, asshole.' She flinch at the horrid thought before shrugging her shoulders, she couldn't bring herself to care. Turning down the alleyway, hoping to find a place to sleep, only to see several dog like creatures look up, eyes filled with hunger, "...great." Turning sharply, she runs as the first of what seems like twenty lunges, only to miss and crash into the wall.

Running through the streets, she tries to lose the pack and notices the adults harsh eyes and cruel smirks, 'PLEASE HELP! ANYONE! HELP!" Turning swiftly, she runs down the alley only to be met by a dead end. Eyes slowly widening, she turns and sees the dog beast stalk slowly. Glancing around, she slowly slides to the ground with tear and sleep filled eyes, "Thi-this ca-can't end. P-please." As the first hound lunges, she yells out the unfairness of the situation, eyes close to block out the terror, "HELP!"

A moment goes by, the alley silent except her soft cries, the hound's yelp, and the sound of flesh ripping from bound, 'Wait...where's the pain?' She opens her eyes to see a young boy, no older than her, with dark orange armor and a dragon like helm on his head. Slowly looking ahead, she sees the hound ran through on a strange looking spear. Wondering whow she had not notice him, she hears a strong snort behind her and turns. Twenty odd childern wearing similar armor, another nine don in a lighter armor, and few on strange reptilian beast, all wielding some form of weapons.

Her head turns when she hears the boy speak, his accent making his voice seem sharp with some words and drawn out with others, "What you filthty beast were about to do to this young girl doesn't make me angry." Seeing the pack of hounds back slowly away only to stop as a line of other childern appear behind them, if Orta could see his face, she would have began to whimper too, "It INFURIATES ME!" As the army of munchkin slaugthers the beast, the last thing that she sees is the dragon mask child turn in her direction.

Here we go, two chapters in two days. I'll try to ensure that I update more often. If anyone knows the different animals from the Panzer Dragoon series, please let me know. I am also looking through for pictures to use for the stories I'm typing. Like I said before, if you want an OC, I am willing to have them in the story.
