Chapter 1
Things DO Go Wrong
Matetso rushed over to Kyno's house, eager to wake him up. The shinobi found his way to his comrade's bedroom window. He then put his hand on it and focused his chakra to the inside. In seconds, he heard a small click of the window unlocking. He lifted it up and put his hands into a hand-sign. He was about to use a jutsu before Toratsu spoke up.
"Not again. You need to stop this, Matetso." Her tone was as mother-like as it always was.
"Don't listen to her." Chimed Zamaka. "Wake up that douche." This, however, would not be the end of the argument. The two demons continued to bicker inside of Matetso's mind, bringing forth a migraine the likes of which he had never felt. So, he formed a crazy idea that would require him to take one for the team.
He slapped himself across the face and to his fortune the yelling stopped.
"And other people say voices in their heads are annoying." He said angrily.
"Oh, really?" Came a voice behind him. He felt a fist get slammed into the back of his head, and his entire body disappeared in a small explosion of shadow. Kyno, who was the one who delivered the blow, looked around to find his target. Within a second, he could hear clothes rippling in the wind. He looked up to see Matetso diving at him.
"Shadow Spinning Lotus!" The shinobi shouted after pulling out his two red swords. He put them in a torpedo head formation, and he began spinning swiftly. He was also being covered by his shadow aura, it spinning also. He came closer to Kyno, who just smiled.
"He really thinks he that will work, huh?" Said Tainatsu, Kyno's demon.
"Sadly, yes." Kyno grabbed his right wrist, and blue lightning came pouring out of it. He leapt straight up and hit the head of the spinning black mass, crying out "Chidori!" as it struck. The two colliding moves caused an explosion that sent Kyno into the ground and Matetso further into the air. Matetso's body was soon enveloped completely in shadow again and the mass disappeared. It reappeared next to Kyno, who was lying on his back. "What the fuck was that for?!"
"Good morning to you, too." Matetso said cheerfully. "Now, get ready. Today's the day."
"Why am I volunteering again?"
"Because Temari said you would."
"Oh, yeah." He got up slowly and jumped through his window. He came back out ten minutes later with his tradition outfit on. It was mostly black, including the shoes and ninja tool pouch. Matetso's was similar, only it was gray instead. "Ready." They took to the rooftops, jumping across each one in single bounds. They made their way to the gates.
Fumatsuke opened his door, letting him bask in the morning sun. Although burning could be a more accurate word; his eyes had not yet adjusted and he had to squint to see anything. He shut the door and trudged through his little world of zero visibility. Although, it didn't last long. He looked up; there was not a single cloud in the sky. The air smelled of spring, a scent he favorite above all others. He glanced around and saw that no one was on the streets. Apparently, Matetso invited everyone to witness his new groundbreaking jutsu. It was a bit strange, but Fumatsuke couldn't blame him. It was rather exciting, being that no ninja had pulled off such a jutsu before.
Looking ahead, he was able to see the front gates and the crowd that gathered. He was right, everyone did want to watch. Suddenly, Tenten made her presence known; she ran up beside Fumatsuke.
"Hi, Fumatsuke." She said cheerfully, her bright smile ever present.
"Hey." Fumatsuke returned the greeting a bit more bluntly than he wished. Tenten looked as if she had done something wrong or caught him at a wrong time. "Um…Why aren't you with the crowd? I'd figure you'd want to watch, too."
"Oh…Um…Well…" She looked down and put her finger to her chin. She looked to be deep in thought, and just as Fumatsuke was about to ask, she looked up and spoke. "I was going to ask if I could…Um…"
"Yes?"
"Um…If I could come with you…"
"Say what?" Fumatsuke cocked an eyebrow.
"You know…When you guys time travel." Fumatsuke thought for a moment. Matetso said that Sakura and Temari could come, and he even let Naruto go with after he begged him for hours.
"Would it be right to ask if Tenten could go with?" He thought. "He didn't really say anything about anyone else coming. Hmm…" He looked down at Tenten. Her big bright eyes brought out his weak side, the side that knew he couldn't say no to that face. "I'm sure Matetso wouldn't mind."
"Thanks! I'll go tell Asuma." She ran off towards the crowd to find her sensei.
"Damn me and my gentleman ways." Fumatsuke scolded himself. "Matetso's gonna kill me. Or maybe he'll just blow it off. Yeah, that'll be the case. Besides, now there'll be one more person to get after Naruto." He grinned when he said this. He then began walking forward. That is, until he fell unconscious all of a sudden.
He fell to the ground and went limp. He instantly experienced something like a dream.
The figure in the tube cackled evilly. Andrew, who was in a deep sleep, awoke with a start. He shivered at the feeling he got. He knew it was time, time now that the one from before was ready for phase one to begin. Suddenly, the intercom came on and a dark voice rang out.
"Andrew!" Said the voice. "Begin phase one!" Andrew swallowed as the intercom shut off. He looked to the small screen on his desk, thinking over what he was about to do. He was about to start up what could possibly be the success that the leader has sought for years. Not wanting to anger him again, Andrew clicked on the screen and the tiger from before appeared.
"Begin phase one." He said, his voice slightly shaking.
"Yes, sir." The tiger saluted him, and the screen shut off. Andrew sighed, his fear and confusion growing ever larger.
"Fumatsuke, are you okay?" Said someone who was right beside his ear. The shinobi opened his eyes and sat up slowly. He clutched his head, which was aching severely. The person who spoke earlier was Matetso. "Dude, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing." He got up with, astonishingly, no difficulty.
"Well then, come on. It's time." They then walked over to the gates where the others were gathered. Naruto looked extremely impatient.
"Come on, what's taking so long?!" He yelled.
"Shut up!" Sakura slapped him and he fell over.
"Okay, everyone ready?" Asked Matetso. As if on command, they nodded at the same time. "Alright. Everyone get into position." Each of them linked hands together while Matetso made numerous hand signs. This went on for about a minute, and suddenly they were surrounded by a light blue aura. The crowd stared in awe at the spectacle. "Ninja Art: Time Travel Jutsu!" Matetso shouted. The aura began swirling ferociously. The seven shinobi began fading away, becoming more transparent by the second. Naruto couldn't have been more excited. Temari clung on to Kyno.
Just before they vanished completely, a bolt of lightning came down from the sky. It struck Matetso, who yelled out in pain. An explosion erupted from him and engulfed the other six. Once the smoke cleared, they were gone. Not a hint of them ever being there was on the ground. The crowd continued to stare, only this time in confusion and worry.
The Star Fox team sat idly by in the cockpit of the Great Fox. They just got back from their latest mission, which happened to be escorting a ship of rations to Katina. The team was just lounging around, hoping that the next job wouldn't come too soon.
"Seriously, why couldn't Pepper just have let someone else do the damn escort?" Complained Falco.
"'Cause everyone else was busy." Answered Peppy. "Besides, it was easy and it got us a fair amount of credits. Stop whining about it."
"Hmph." Falco got up and walked out of the room. He put the ear buds to his iPod in his ears and put on "Enter Sandman". The beginning riffs calmed him down somewhat. He thought he would relax in the TV room away from the others. The music playing cut the time almost in half. He sat down on the couch and propped his feet up on the table. He closed his eyes and listened. He was almost completely relaxed when a loud crash sounded above his iPod. He opened his eyes to see seven figures piled upon each other. And what was worse, the giant flat screen TV lay broken below them. The rest of the team stormed in, apparently hearing the crash, too.
"What happened?" Fox asked quickly. He peered over at the seven figures that began to rise off from each other. Matetso shook his head from the deliriousness. He looked at each of the mysterious creatures standing all over the room.
"Whoa. Didn't see this coming."
Well, finally the encounter has happened.
