Back to the movie
It was a long hallway, and Gary was running across it. He was going after Natsu, who had escaped when he found him. It was quiet, and red in color. It would've been completely silent, if Ash wasn't yelling from behind him.
"Gary!" yelled Ash, as he ran too, "Gary! How the hell did do you keep on reappearing like that? I knew you were in Alamos. If I knew earlier, I would've kicked your ass long ago!" They continued running as Ash told him off, but finally, they saw an open doorway at the end. Gary ran faster, but then stopped suddenly. Ash continued to run, and when he did, he started tripping towards the ground. The doorway just ended, leading into the floor at the bottom. Before Ash fell at least twenty feet to the bottom, Gary grabbed him and stopped him from falling and brought him back up. They looked down, and saw a huge, purple body swelling around the room, the same body E.N.D had. It was all throughout the room in crooked directions. In front of it was Natsu sitting down. The body was coming from the boy's back. He noticed the two above and looked up.
"You two came," said Natsu. He looked different. His body seemed thinner and paler. He looked like an old man too. He started chuckling.
"I guess you're surprised to see me like this," said Natsu, "This is what happens when the vessel for E.N.D isn't equipped to hold it. It has been weakening my body, and it's getting released. I was too exhausted from holding back before, so that's why I left. I'm trying to regain the control again. But I warn you, leave now, or else I will destroy you both in an instant. My body is weak, but my power is tremendous. Do you really want to take that?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?" asked Ash, and he jumped down and landed in front of Natsu, "I'm going to enjoy beating the fuck out of you." Gary jumped down by him, and he unsheathed his sword from its sheath. Natsu chuckled.
"Alright then," said Natsu as he stood, "Don't tell me I didn't warn you." He was then lifted by the dark body, and ten purple tentacles sprout out from it. Ash materialized his Aura Blade.
"Bring it!" yelled Ash. Ash and Gary then ran at the same time towards Natsu. He shot out the tentacles towards the two. They dodged it, and they both jumped on top of one and started running towards Natsu, but Natsu launched sharp tentacles at them, but they just cut right through them.
"Don't you dare get in my way, Gary!" yelled Ash. Gary didn't respond to him.
"You runts are really pissing me off!" yelled Natsu, "No one will ever stop me! I have to save this world from the darkness it has. Do you enjoy this pain? Do you enjoy the selfishness of this world!"
"Says the person who's trying to change it while killing people along the way!" yelled Ash as he took his blade and tried striking Natsu, but Natsu pushed a tentacle in front of Ash, to block it, but Ash cut through it, "I like this world! I will kill anyone who tries to change it, and the person who are killing innocent people because he wants to change the world!" He then created an Aura Sphere and tried striking Natsu with it, but he blocked it with a thick tentacle and hit Ash away.
"You stupid kids need to know your place!" said Natsu. Gary then sneaked up from behind Natsu and struck him on the back. Natsu was shocked, and then chuckled.
"I'm surprised you were able to get past my powers like that," said Natsu, "But I should've known from an apprentice of Sephiroth. But that didn't work at all." Gary noticed. The dark energy around him was so thick that his blade didn't get close enough. He then shot a tentacle from his back and hit Gary with it, and slammed him on the ground, but he got up. He went back for Natsu from the back, and Ash was coming back from the front. Natsu just kept chuckling.
"You kids are just too cute," said Natsu, and then shot out two tentacles at the boys on opposite sides of him body. It grabbed both boys, and lifted them up to the air. He brought them all the way to the air right by each other. They tried to break free, but it was no use.
"It's over," said Natsu, "I could crush you both in an instant right now. Now, watch the world burn by my feet." He started laughing. Ash continued to struggle, but then stopped and lowered her head.
"I'm going to make you pay for what you said to Shion," said Ash, and then he looked up and showed his blue eyes, "I swear I'm going to kill you!" Suddenly, energy starting spiraling around him, his aura energy.
"That feels good," said Natsu, "I love that dark energy of yours." Gary noticed, and then smirked.
"Yeah Ash," said Gary as electricity started to spiral around him, "Let's feed this basterd some of our great energy!" Thunder then started spiraling around them. Ash saw him and his electricity, and then nodded.
"Now that's how we kick some ass!" yelled Ash. He started releasing his aura around the room as well. Natsu kept on laughing.
"You idiots!" yelled Natsu, "Tell me how that's going to work?" He laughed again, but then stopped and looked at the tentacles, which were getting plumped up. He noticed that both of their dark energies were overfeeding the power in him.
"Stop it!" yelled Natsu, "Stop it now you idiots!"
"Hell no!" yelled Ash, "I'm going to make you pay for hurting Shion like that. You just didn't care for her feelings. She cared about you, and you just threw it away like they were nothing."
"Shut up!" yelled Natsu, "Shut up! I know what I should be doing in my life. Arceus created me to recreate this damn, corrupted world!"
"No fucking way!" yelled Ash, "Arceus didn't make you to do such a thing. Arceus created me to kick your ass, and I'm going to be the one to do that now?" Finally the tentacles around them exploded and Ash and Gary were in midair now.
"Ash!" yelled Gary, and Ash looked towards him, "End it now! I'll distract him." Gary then charged towards Natsu. He took his sword, and his whole body got covered in electricity. Natsu charged tentacles at him, but Gary cut right through them with his electric covered blade. He then crashed down on the ground, and it caused an electric shockwave that blew away the other tentacles, leaving complete room.
"Ash, now!" yelled Gary, and he looked up at Ash, and was surprised to see Ash with a huge Aura Sphere in one hand.
"Die you basterd!" yelled Ash, and he went towards Natsu, who watched the ball come closer and closer. He then crashed it on him causing a huge explosion. Even the other tentacles couldn't block it. The explosion caused a dust cloud to form. Ash was breathing heavily after his hit, and he lost most of his aura. He looked at Natsu, whose shirt got ripped open, showing his bare stomach. His hair was gone, and he looked older. He chuckled.
"You beat me," said Natsu, and Ash noticed him getting absorbed into the purple blob. He just kept chuckling.
"Goodbye," said Natsu, "But remember. You should've let me take over the world instead." He was them absorbed in. After he did, the room started to rumble. They then heard a huge screech. The blob got bigger, bigger and bigger. They saw a head forming from the blob, and a body as well. As the body got bigger, the head rose, the same head of the dragon. It was E.N.D, and it was getting bigger and stronger. It screeched again. Gary turned back.
"Run!" said Gary. Ash looked at Gary, back at the dragon, and towards Gary again. He groaned and ran after him.
Shion was running through the hallways. She was looking for the trapped people. She didn't have any luck, and she began to wonder if they were really there at all.
"Come on!" yelled Shion, "Where are you?" She then started to hear moaning. She stopped. She looked around. She then looked down a hallway and heard it again. She then ran in that direction. When she did, she saw cells down a long hallway. She looked through it, and saw weak, near death people in there. She felt so bad for the people. As she did, she saw two people in a cell that surprised her.
"Brendan? Dawn?" asked Shion. They both looked up at her. They looked so weak as well, and Brendan was holding onto Dawn.
"How did you guys get in here?" asked Shion.
"It was Natsu," said Brendan, "Be careful for that guy. He's..."
"I know," said Shion, "He's crazy and evil. Don't worry. Ash is taking care of him, and he told me to save you people."
"Our power is getting absorbed," said Brendan, "It's from these cages. We have to get out of here, but we can't."
"How can I get you guys get out?" asked Shion.
"You have to press that button on the ceiling," said Brendan, and he showed her the button directly above them, "He just jumps up and presses it. I don't think you can reach it."
"I don't care," said Shion, "I'll try." She looked around, and saw that if she stood on top of the ledges of the cells, and she jumps, she could press it. She then started climbing up the cell. It was rather large in height, and she could break a couple bones for trying, but she didn't want to disappoint Ash. She got to the top, and balanced on the ledge. She looked at the button, she gulped. She jumped and pressed it. She was now falling. She closed her eyes.
"For you, Ash," said Shion, and she jumped to press it. She did, and the cages immediately just opened up. She then felt herself falling to the ground. She closed her eyes, bracing for impact, but stopped. She opened her eyes, and saw Brendan holding her. He was back to normal.
"Thanks," said Brendan, "It stopped. We have to get out of here now. Where are we?" Brendan let her down. Shion bowed as thanks. She saw other people coming out of the cages, happy that they were free. It made her smile. She looked towards Brendan.
"We're flying in The Sky Temple," said Shion, "We have to get out of here somehow."
"You said Ash was fighting Natsu, right?" asked Dawn, and Shion nodded, making her frown, "Yeah, we should get out of here. Ash might blow this place up in a matter of seconds." She nodded, and turned towards the people.
"If you would like to get out of here, follow us!" yelled Shion. They all nodded, and they followed the three kids.
Back at the shores of Alamos City, Gold returned with his Lapras. He was breathing heavily. He then saw his Togekiss and returned it to its Pokeball. He looked at Red, who was equally exhausted. Lnoki was just resting on a rock, and then woke up and looked at the two.
"What is wrong?" asked Lnoki, "Are you done yet?"
"No," said Gold, "Yo Red, when is that person going to do their thing."
"She's not done yet," said Red, "We still have to stall."
"Fine, but you're going out twice," said Gold.
"Fine," said Red. Gold returned his Lapras, and Red prepared to go out next, but stopped when he saw a spark. One ship exploded, and then another, and another. They kept exploding in a row. Lnoki and Gold looked in astonishment, but Red just smiled.
"I knew she could do it," said Red. They all looked out, and they saw something flying towards them on something that was floating. When it got close enough, Gold realized who it was.
"Green!" exclaimed Gold. Green winked at them as she held onto her Jigglypuff.
"Hey boys," said Green. Red and Gold waved at her.
"Nice job, Green," said Red as the other ships exploded. Lnoki sighed.
"Kids these days," said Lnoki, "They can do anything."
Back at The Sky Temple, Shion, Dawn, and Brendan were letting people onto flying boats. They were outside the temple on the edge of the temple. Brendan accidentally tripped over a switch, making over fifteen flying ships rise from the ground. These were pretty much escape pods to get off the temple if there was any trouble on it. They let people on. As they did, Ash and Gary came out and met up with them. Brendan was the first to notice them.
"Hey guys," said Brendan, "Now you decide to show up."
"We need to get off this thing," said Ash, "E.N.D has been released. It'll kill us all if it..." They heard a loud screech, and the temple shook.
"What happened to Natsu?" asked Shion. Ash didn't respond. Shion looked down disappointed, and then the temple shook again.
"It must be moving," said Brendan, "Everyone, on the boats now!" People scrambled for them. Once everyone was on one, Brendan and Dawn went on one. Before Shion went on one, she turned towards Ash, who wasn't moving.
"Are you coming?" asked Shion. Ash shook his head.
"I'm going back in there to kill it," said Ash. Shion froze.
"What?" asked Shion.
"I said..."
"I know what you said! You can't beat that thing. It could kill you."
"I have to try. If I don't, it'll kill millions of people. You have to get on one. I'll pull the switch to fly you guys off."
"No, I'm not going. What about May? What about the others? Are you really going to leave them like this?"
"I know what May would think. She would make me do this. Now get on one before it gets out!"
"No," denied Shion, "I'm not leaving you alone. I'll stay. I'll..." Suddenly, someone grabbed her and tossed her towards a boat with Brendan and Dawn. It was Gary who did this.
"Shut up," said Gary, and he then faced Ash, "Pull the switch." Ash nodded, and he pulled it, sending the boats flying Shion looked at Ash.
"ASH!" yelled Shion. The boats then activated their wings, and it continued to fly. Gary watched them go. As he did, Ash was behind him, with an Aura Sphere in his hand.
"One final one," he said to himself. Suddenly, while Gary was standing, he felt an explosion behind him and the ground shook, and his ledge broke off and headed towards the ground. Gary turned towards Ash, seeing his hand relax after using his Aura Sphere. He looked straight at Gary. They stared at each other. Then Ash said something to him. Gary heard it. After a second, he nodded, then took out a Pokeball and released Skarmory. He got on it and flew away. Now everyone was off the temple, and Ash sighed. He then went against a wall and slid down it. He was exhausted, and now he was going to fight a beast. He used all of his aura, and he didn't know what to do.
"What am I supposed to do now, dad?" asked Ash.
Start of Flashback
A younger Ash, maybe five or six, ran through the streets of Pallet. He ran towards his house. He made it there, and when he looked at it, he saw his dad, Sir Aaron, sitting at the porch with his normal white t-shirt, blue jeans clothes. He was enjoying the fresh air. Ash smiled.
"Dad, you're back!" yelled Ash, and he opened the gates and ran towards his dad to give him a hug. Aaron returned the hug.
"Hey Ash," said Aaron, "How's my little guy doing?"
"I'm doing great," said Ash, "Something really scary happened today. Gary, Drew, and I were walking by the forest, and a wild Arcanine attacked us. We were so scared. Luckily, a trainer came and beat it up for us."
"Whoa," said Aaron, "That must've been terrifying." Ash nodded. He then looked at the ground and thought for a second, and then back at Aaron.
"Hey dad, you beat up bad people all the time, right?" asked Ash.
"Of course," said Aaron, "Why?"
"Do you get scared?" asked Ash.
"All the time."
"Then how come you're able to beat them up?" asked Ash. Aaron thought for a second, and then smiled and faced Ash.
"Because I've got guts," said Aaron.
"What's that?" asked Ash.
"It means I try my hardest," said Aaron, "It means that no matter what the circumstances, I try my best to solve it. It doesn't matter that I'm scared or anything. As long as I've got guts, then I can do anything,"
"Do I have guts?"
"Of course," said Aaron as he placed a finger on Ash's chest, "You have guts here."
"In my heart?" asked Ash.
"Yes, and in your soul," said Aaron as he stood up, "Remember never to give up, and you'll always have guts in you, okay?" Ash nodded.
"Now let's go inside and get us something from your mom," said Aaron.
"Yeah," agreed Ash
End of Flashback
Ash slowly opened his eye. He then forced himself to stand up. He looked back into the temple, and heard the screech again. He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He then opened his eyes, and they were blue.
"I'll show you I have tons of guts, dad," said Ash. He then created an Aura Sphere and crashed it onto the ground, making a huge part of the temple break off and fall towards the sea. He was going to blow this place up, along with E.N.D as well. He created another one and went in.
E.N.D was already ruining the place from the inside. It screeched and prepared to move on, but suddenly, an Aura Sphere hit it across the face. It looked down, and saw Ash, standing confidently as ever. He had been blowing the place up a lot, and he found E.N.D at last.
"You're fight is with me!" yelled Ash. It extended out a limb with claws at Ash. It hit, but Ash jumped and landed on top of its arm. He then started running towards it, with his blue eyes furious.
"Fuck off!" yelled Ash, and he kicked it across the face, sending it straight towards a wall. It crashed onto it. Then immediately, it launched a limb of a hand from its body and took Ash and slammed him against a wall. He yelled in pain. The dragon then went up over Ash, showing its great, sharp teeth.
"It's over, kid," it said to him. Ash looked at it angrily.
"No, it's not!" yelled Ash. E.N.D then crushed him even more, making him yell.
"Please be okay," said Shion. She and the others were on a flying boat with a bunch of other people, and they saw The Sky Temple breaking apart in front of them. They were all worried for him. They saw the place blow up multiple times. It was like her dream. It was coming true. Next was the explosion. Ash was going to die. She started to pray.
"Please be okay, Ash," thought Shion, "I know you can do it. Please Arceus, show us a miracle."
Ash was still getting crushed by E.N.D, who was laughing at his demise. He couldn't make it. His life was slipping away. He was going to die like this. This couldn't happen. He started to give up.
"Ash!" he heard a girl call in his head. He opened his eyes a little bit.
"You better not let that thing kick your ass!" said the girl again, and Ash started to recognize it, "If you let that thing kick your ass, I swear I'll kick your ass myself!" His eyes then opened wide. He remembered the voice.
"Ash, I know you can do it!" said the voice. It was May. She was talking to him. She knew what was happening to him. He yelled, and a burst of aura sent E.N.D away from him towards a wall. He stood up slowly, and wobbled, before he regained his balance.
"Don't worry, May," said Ash as Aura surrounded his body, "I'll come back to you guys. I promise." He then charged towards E.N.D. The aura got bigger and bigger, and now, it was as big as E.N.D. E.N.D watched in amazement. It started to shape into something. When it did, E.N.D saw it. It was shaped like The Aura Beast.
"Die!" yelled Ash. He then crashed onto it, and he kept pushing it through the walls of the temple, over and over again. It kept getting hit and hit again. After a few minutes, they were outside. E.N.D lied down on the ground. As the smoke cleared, Ash was walking on top of it, with an Aura Sphere in his hand.
"See dad," thought Ash, "I've got tons of guts in me." He then crashed the ball on E.N.D, causing a huge explosion. E.N.D started to be obliterated. It was being overcome by good. It then realized. Even though The Aura Beast was truly evil, with the right person, it could be something amazing, beautiful, and good. The temple then exploded.
From the bottom, Gary looked on at the temple. When it exploded, he closed his eyes, turned around, and then walked away.
Shion and the others still stared at the temple. After a while, it suddenly exploded. Brendan's jaw dropped as Dawn covered her mouth in shock. Shion couldn't believe it. She started to tear up. The temple was heading towards the sea in pieces. A tear fell down her face.
"ASH!" yelled Shion. In the smoke of the destroyed temple, they saw something heading towards the sea. They looked closely, and saw that it was Ash heading towards the ocean head first.
"It's Ash!" exclaimed Dawn. Shion saw him and looked around. She saw a jetpack, took it, put it on her, and then prepared to jump.
"I'm coming, Ash!" yelled Shion, and she jumped. The jetpack then activated, and then she started to fly. It took her a second, but she finally got the hang of it and flew towards Ash. He was unconscious. Shion came towards him and reached for him, but missed. She tried again, but missed again. She then removed the jetpack, and then fell towards Ash faster. She then went and hugged him. They were heading towards the sea together. She looked, and they were heading towards a shoreline, solid land. She closed her eyes, ready for impact.
"Thank you, Ash," said Shion, "You did it. I thank you." Ash muffled something in her chest, and she smiled and held him closer. They were very close to the ground now.
"Oh shut up," said Red, and he let out his Snorlax. Ash and Shion fell onto its stomach, and bounced around in it. When they finally stopped, Shion looked around. She then noticed. The temple was heading in Alamos City's direction. She smiled when she saw Lnoki, Red, Gold, and Green there. They must've destroyed the ships. The boats then all landed on the beach. People went off, glad they were on solid ground. Brendan and Dawn went off theirs and ran towards Ash and Shion, who were on the ground.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Brendan. Shion looked at them and smiled and nodded.
"Ash!" yelled May. They all turned towards her direction, and saw her and Pikachu. They then ran towards the boy who was lying on the floor.
"Are you okay?" asked May, "I was so worried about you! You should've waited for me before you entered that temple. What the heck is wrong with you?"
"You weren't on the temple?" asked Dawn.
"No," said May, "He left me back there. I had to follow that temple all the way over here. I was even more worried when it started to blow up."
"Of course stuff would blow up when Ash is involved," said Gold, "Why wouldn't it?"
"Don't forget Green would do that type of shit too," said Red.
"What did you say about me?" asked Green in a threatening tone. Brendan then looked in Lnoki's direction, and saw him sleeping on top of a rock.
"Why are you sleeping?" asked Brendan, "Did you even do anything?" Lnoki then woke up, and looked towards Brendan.
"How could I?" asked Lnoki, "You kids hogged all the fun." They all started talking about what happened on their side of the story. As they talked, Ash started to wake up. May saw him wake up. She smiled and hugged him tighter and close, so close their cheeks touched.
"I knew you could do it, Ashy," whispered May, "I never doubted you."
"Pika!" agreed Pikachu who heard them. Ash mumbled something again, and then closed his eyes, back into his slumber.
"And that's how I failed my mission," said Gary as he bowed to Sephiroth, "I apologize for my failure." Sephiroth stared at him. He didn't look disappointed. Misty was by them, with a tray of tea in her hand. Sephiroth smirked.
"Doesn't matter," said Sephiroth, "That man wasn't going to give me his secrets anyway. I'll just send you on another mission."
"Thank you," said Gary. He then started to walk off.
"Wait Gary," said Sephiroth, and Gary stopped, "What's wrong? You seem sad. Did something happen on your mission?" Gary didn't respond. After a while, Sephiroth sighed.
"I guess it's nothing then," said Sephiroth. Gary then walked out.
Gary sat at the shores of Sephiroth's island. He looked out to sea. What happened today still replayed in his mind, especially what Ash said to him.
"I swear I'll beat you one day," Ash had said to him as he was falling down from the temple, "But today isn't the day. Just wait for me, Gary, just wait for me." Gary sighed. He then stood, unsheathed his blade, and then cut down a tree. He then put it back in its sheath, and walked back towards Sephiroth's cabin.
Hours later, Ash finally completely woke up. He was bandaged. He sat up, and noticed he was resting on May's lap the entire time. He looked at the others. He saw them looking at the ruined city. He saw people rebuilding it already. He stood up, and walked by Shion's side. Pikachu jumped on his shoulder.
"Sorry about your city," said Ash.
"It's fine," said Shion with a smile on her face, "We will just rebuild it. No matter how many times people bring it down, we'll just bring it back up." They continued to stare off at it, and then Shion looked at Ash.
"I thank you all for saving it," said Shion, "Especially you Ash. You have been a big help. May was right. You are awesome when people get to know you."
"Pfft," said Ash. Shion then giggled.
"Ash," said Shion, "Will you help me to continue protecting this city with me until death? Will you always be by my side?"
"Um, yeah, sure," said Ash. Everyone's jaw dropped. Everyone there, except Ash, knew what Shion was really saying, and they couldn't believe Ash just accepted her hand in marriage.
(Ending: Naruto Shippuden The Movie 2: Bonds Ending: "No Rain No Rainbow")
That was that movie. This took me a pretty long time to make (almost missed the deadline, so I pretty much finished it right now). Don't worry, Ash will not marry Shion, it was just a joke (I know you guys know that ;)). Also, I've been getting emails telling me that there wasn't enough Advanceshipping in the third season, but don't worry, I had a reason for that (no emotions=no love), but that will be further explained in the fourth season, which will have way more Advanceshipping than the other seasons (or not, no promises). Thank you for reading my movie and I hope to see you all in the third season.
Read and Review please :-)
