Author's Note: Here's Chapter II, I think I'll only add one or two more chapters. Like I said, just experimenting with a few things, so please give me your opinions on what this

A meeting was being held in the capital building discussing the latest issues concerning other nations and the Akatsuki. Granted this was nothing new but they had to go through this. After twenty minutes of the meeting, the doors slammed open with a man coming through, out of breath.

"I beg your pardon, but we just received this letter," said the man giving the letter to one of the council members.

The council member read it quickly. "This again?"

"What is it?" asked another member.

"It's nothing," replied the man.

"If he ran in here then it must have some importance," commented Kazekage Gaara.

The man looked a little pale but looked at it again. "We received intelligence last month about a ship of unusual design and origin appearing on the western side of our country. This says that now they can spot a whole fleet of ships, but this ridiculous. Lord Kazekage, we shouldn't waste our time with this."

"Not true," replied Gaara calmly. "If this ship has no origin from this continent, then it has to be from another nation across the ocean. After all, the entire world has yet to be explored."

"Well...what should we do then Lord Kazekage?" asked another member. "If it's a fleet, I hardly doubt that's friendly."

"Agreed, we should send a whole battalion there just in case," suggested the ANBU leader.

Gaara didn't need to think. "Agreed, send them at once but tell them to not attack unless they do first, we don't want to provoke a war right now. Our nation is still in the process of revitalizing itself and although it has great success, we're still not quite up to par just yet. Be careful."

The council nodded and the process began. The first battalion, which included Chunin, a handful of Jounin, and two squads of Black Ops were dispatched to the western border in three days. They had been told to go as soon as possible, for about the time they would arrive there they would see the fleet right there. Yet when they got there, the fleet was still a few hours away, which they found a bit odd.

On board the leading ship General Lee had his fleet moving forward. However, there was a reason for the delay: They had to pick up someone. Princess Azula of the Fire Nation, and her partners Mai and Ty Lee. There had always been this ominous sense of gloom and despair with the princess. Yet at the same time there was a sense of respect and admiration...with a big hint of fear.

"How long until we get there?" asked the Princess.

"Another hour maybe," said the General standing behind the princess. "We have enough firepower to match the fleet that invaded the Northern Water Tribe."

"I hope so, because daddy doesn't like failure at all," she said with an evil grin.

A few hours later and a man came through the door to the Kazekage's office. "Lord Kazekage, excuse my interruption but we've received word about the western line." Gaara didn't seem effected by the interruption and just nodded. "These people began firing at our people with fireballs from there ships and when the landed they unloaded machines that are hard to beat. On top of that they all seem to be using fire."

"That would suggest the Leaf Village is behind the attack, but I seriously doubt that," responded Gaara. "After all, they don't have technology like this and they wouldn't attack from that side anyway."

"It gets worse sir," the man continued. "Our forces can't hold them off, it's too big of an army sir. We had to send the second battalion and even then we're just barely holding them back."

"I see," nodded Gaara closing his eyes while standing up.

It was true that the battle wasn't go well. The foot soldiers were men with weak weapons and Taijutsu (hand-to-hand-combat). However they seemed to bring out fire from practically nowhere. This was still manageable though. The real problem was the tank like machines and the men on creatures resembling a rhino. The Chunin and Jounin has use there most powerful Jutsu, which worked well, but we're continuously being outnumbered and outmatched in fire power. Soon even the ANBU had to gather together to bat them off. However, the battle had gone one full day now, and now they were in deep trouble. Princess Azula decided to enter the battle.

Azula sent two blue fireballs at Chunin, dropping them where they stood as two more threw there shuriken at her. The Princess threw a kick into the air and with it a stream of blue fire, blocking the shuriken, giving her ample time to back flip and send two more fireballs at the two, bringing them down to there knees. As more shuriken were being thrown, Mai countered them all and got them right back, hitting some of there vitals. If long range didn't work, Ty Lee had come close range and knocked them out just by hitting them a few times. It was a technique that resembled Konoha's Gentle Fist technique.

The three, along with the rest of the fire nation were starting to force the soldiers back. Finally, the main part of the army showed up. Three very large airships passing over the beach and into the war zone. The sand shinobi began retreating for their lives, trying to regroup later. Azula smiled evilly as the bombs were dropped upon them. The explosions occurred and the soldiers began celebrating, Azula smiling at her victory. This smile vanished quickly when the sand dust cleared to reveal a large portion of sand covering the entire troop. Beneath the shield, and facing the Fire Nation was the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara of the Desert.

Azula starred down Gaara who returned it without blinking or even looking distressed. The men began to cheer him. "I want everyone to leave now," ordered Gaara. The men didn't bother to question him or hesitate and began to run away as quickly as possible. Azula approached him, maintaining a good thirty feet from him.

"My, confident aren't we?" asked Azula smiling evilly and turning her head a bit. Gaara didn't respond. "You think you can defeat the entire Fire Nation by yourself?"

"Fire Nation?" Gaara finally asked. "So you're not from Konoha. Then where are you from?"

"Oh my, I could've sworn I just told you," Azula said looking at her nails with a smile still. "We're from the Fire Nation. We're here to conquer your nation so it can receive our blessing. It's our way of sharing our wonderful nation with others."

"I see," said Gaara as a large portion of sand rose him up. "Then I have no choice but to stop you."

Azula casually walked back to her army, raising her right hand, then flinging it down. The foot soldier and tanks began unloading Firebending straight at Gaara. Much to there surprise, he didn't even move. The sand around him blocked each and every attack and not even phasing him. Soon Gaara was high in the air as fireballs began firing upon him, again failing. Before Gaara continued he looked around and saw how many Sand Shinobi had given up there lives. There were fire nation bodies as well, but the fact was that they had killed over a hundred of his men. Gaara's expression changed only slightly as he looked at the large army ahead of him.

He made just three hand signs and slammed his hands together. Right below where he was floating, a large amount of sand appeared, to rival that of Tsunami. "Sand Tsunami," Gaara called out as the sand wave continued to grow and advance to the army.

They army didn't think twice and simply tried to run away. It was hopeless. Like the regular water tsunami, the sand one is so fast that you can never evade it. It captured every single one, there rhino's and tanks that were on the beach. Gaara's sand let go and he plummeted to the ground.

"Not done yet," said Gaara to himself touching the ground and slamming his hands into the sand. "Giant Sand Burial!" cried Gaara, sending a huge shockwave across the desert. At the same time, three figures emerged from his sand and jumped out of the way. Lucky them, for the sand wave crushed everything that it hit. Tank, armor, rhino, it didn't matter, they were all crushed by the huge pressure of Gaara's attack. Just like that, in two moves, the whole land army was destroyed.

Gaara stood up as he watched the three little sneaks come back to the sand. The princess and her two subjects. It was rare that the princess looked this pissed, and this was that occasion. Gaara didn't look too offended and turned his attention to behind him as the three ships moved closer to him, having turned around for another volley. "I'll be with you in a minute," said Gaara.

Azula looked pissed but before she could do anything, Gaara lightly raised himself with a sand platform to the air. He rose his arms and an enormous part of the desert came out and with in a few seconds, formed to Shukaku's arm. Shukaku was the demon sealed away in Gaara, a powerful sand demon. The arm was huge, easily big enough to crush a village. The arm proceeded to the airships and engulfed each one of them, and soon crushed them all under it's pressure. Gaara let go of the sand and it hit the ground like nothing. Gaara turned around and looked down at Azula. Now, she was beyond pissed.

"If you leave, I can promise you your lives will be spared," told Gaara calmly and confidently as he came back down to the earth.

Azula gritted her teeth but after a few minutes gave another smile. "Oh this has just begun."
