Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Soul Calibur.

Sorry for the slow updates but my computer got a virus and it erased all my files for the fics. So I have to write from scratch again.

I will update all my fics when I get to them. I'm also going to rewrite Depths of Despair, The New Demon, and The Resurrection of Broly.

Please note that the author is psychotic and will not hesitate to use genetically altered super foxes. Thank you and have a nice day.

Darkness Eternal: Nightmare

Chapter One: Nightmare vs. Mitsurugi

A warm breeze blew as an armored figure entered a town, only to find blood and gore everywhere. The stench of decay filled the air. The figure blanched at all the gore and body parts strewn all over the place. 'By Kami, what did this?' he thought. Concentrating, he felt a faint trace of demonic aura. 'That aura! Can it be!?' he thought. He rushed as fast as he could towards the woods outside the village.

In the woods……

Naruto trudged through the tall grass and vines of the forest. 'That was fun. Now when I go back everyone dies!' he thought. He remembered everyone. 'Except for Hokage-jiji, Iruka-sensei, Old man Ichiraku, Ayame-neechan, and Hinata. They were all nice to me.' He thought. He continued through the forest. When he found a clearing, he started a fire and pulled out some ramen, which materialized from nowhere and began to cook.

Edge of the woods…….

The armored figure stopped at the edge of the woods. He sweatdropped as a path of cut down trees led into the woods. 'Whatever killed the villagers must be in there! I, Mitsurugi, shall defeat it!' he thought as he unsheathed his sword. Mitsurugi ran into the woods, intent on finding whatever killed the villagers.

In the clearing in the woods……

Naruto finished the ramen. All 450 cups of it. For some reason, whenever he wants something to eat, it appears instantly. He put his helmet back on, looking like the Nightmare he is. 'Hey Gramps!' he thought. 'I AM NOT OLD!!!!!!' Soul Edge roared. Naruto snickered. That always gets his attention. 'Anyways, I was thinking. I need a name. Any suggestions?' Naruto asked. 'HOW ABOUT NIGHTMARE?' Soul Edge suggested. Naruto/Nightmare grinned. (I will call Naruto, Nightmare in combat)

In the woods……

Mitsurugi followed the trail and felt a demonic aura ahead. He burst into the clearing and jumped, sword held high.

With Nightmare……

Nightmare rolled to the side and grabbed Soul Edge as a sword came down where he once sat. He snarled at his attacker. His attacker went into a stance Nightmare recognized as one used by samurai. He grinned. Nightmare went into his battle stance. (Nightmare's from Soul Calibur 2/ Siegfried's from Soul Calibur 3) "I, Mitsurugi, accept your challenge!" he said. Nightmare sweatdropped.

Mitsurugi attacked first, bringing his sword down. Nightmare parried and struck back with a horizontal swing. Mitsurugi sidestepped and countered with three swings. Nightmare dodged all three. Nightmare attacked, using a vertical swing, launching Mitsurugi up into the air. Nightmare leaped up into the air. 'Thank Kami for ninja training.' Nightmare thought as he swung Soul Edge.

Mitsurugi flipped in mid air and avoided being decapitated. Nightmare landed on the ground as Mitsurugi landed, wincing, as he clutched his side. Nightmare deduced that he must have some broken ribs. Soul Edge was good for breaking bones. Nightmare cackled. "Fool. You cannot win." He said.

Mitsurugi winced in pain. Nightmare swung Soul Edge as Mitsurugi barely dodged it. Mitsurugi swung with one arm, the other clutching his side. Nightmare swung, Soul Edge cackling madly in his head, and hit Mitsurugi with the blunt side. Mitsurugi slid across the ground and groaned as he dropped to his knees. Nightmare brought Soul Edge above his head, preparing to decapitate the samurai. "Fool. You should know not to continue fighting with broken bones. I'm surprised you even lasted this long." Nightmare growled.

Mitsurugi got up and winced as pain shot through his side. "Dumbass. Here." Nightmare said as he handed Mitsurugi some herbal salve. "Why?" Mitsurugi asked. "I may be a killer, but I am still capable of being nice." Nightmare replied. He turned around and began to walk away. He stopped. "Besides, I would like to fight you again." He said as he walked into the woods. Mitsurugi's jaw dropped.

Nightmare was gone. Mitsurugi was in shock. 'Okay. That was weird.' He thought as he healed himself.

With Naruto…….

'HEY GAKI. WHY'D YOU SPARE HIM?' Soul Edge inquired. Naruto smiled. 'He reminded me of me before I met you.' Naruto said. Soul Edge said no more. Naruto continued to walk, oblivious to an observer.

'So the Soul Edge has returned. No matter. I will destroy it!' the figure said, teleporting away.

End of Chapter.

Whoever guesses the mystery person will get an appearance in the story as an Original Soul Calibur character. See ya.
