Ch.2 Sane
"Gatrie, Shinon get ready to fight!" Greil yells his commands getting his ax ready for battle.
"Commander, are you sure it's just a little girl the same age as Mist?" Gatrie asked, but didn't get an answer from him instead it was his red head friend that answer.
"Alright, but Commander I don't think this will be long" reply Shinon. Taking out his iron bow and getting an arrow from his quiver. "Just leave it to the master. One clean motion, no excitation" Shinon utter as he let's go of the arrow.
The arrow cuts through the air as it approaches it's target and when it's about to hit, it gets stopped by an uproar from said target. Not only did the uproar stopped the arrow, but also uprooted the flowers around her.
Getting out of his astonishment Shinon gets another arrow set on his bow, yet cannot release it as petals obscures his view. As the storm of flower petals dies out Naruto was already out of their vision.
Shocked that his target was gone, Shinon starts to look around his surroundings without moving an inch from his spot, but to no avail Naruto was nowhere in sight.
"Thump" Shinon heard from behind him, turning his head to look at the at the source. 'How did she get behind me?' he thought as he sees Naruto crouching. 'Furthermore, wasn't she armless?' Shinon question as he sees her draw a kunai. 'Damm, I'm not going to be able to block it' he thought as he brings his bow to block Naruto's quick attack with the kunai.
Just as he was about to be slashed, Naruto was sent crashing backwards. Turning to his left, he finds his savior who is no other than his knight in blue shining armor friend Gatrie whom still got his lance on strike pose.
"Tch, Finally it's over good riddance" Shinon said.
"Sorry, but I only managed to hit her with the button of my spear"Gatrie inform.
Once more setting his bow and arrow to strike Shinon aims at his target as she gets up. Not letting Naruto a reprieve he let's go of the arrow.
"Ahhh!" Naruto screams in agony as it pierces her shoulder blood staining her white kimono-like blouse a sanguine color. "Why... why... why do you look at me like that! What did I do to deserve this?" Naruto yells glaring at them as she takes out the arrow.
'I aimed at her heart, yet she was able to move so that it pierce her shoulder... What is she?' thought Shinon shocked and is further astounded when he sees the arrow wound close.
"To think I that she would have the skill Renewal. This will make it harder." stated Greil.
"Renewal... ?" Gatrie said clearly confused.
"Renewal a rare skill scroll to find and even rarer to find someone with it. Furthermore whomever has it, their physical wounds begin to heal" Shinon clarified.
"What's going on Commander, I thought that she went berserk" Gatrie asks.
"The medallion is not ordinary, it grants power to whomever touches it, yet the user goes berserk. Only people who have order and chaos in complete balance are able to touch it unaffected." Greil explains. "Furthermore, there are only three ways that I know of to stop her first is for her to somehow to come to her senses, second to make her go unconscious, third death." he further explains.
"Commander, she looks like she's half sane. Could we not reason with her" Gatrie ask.
"Sorry, but it doesn't look like she's talking to us or watching us. It's more like she's talking and seeing someone other than us. If possible I wish only to knock her out, but if we can't then..." Greil finish talking.
Both Shinon and Gatrie understood the unsaid message... The will die by their hands if they can't knock her out.
"What is she doing now?" ask Shinon only for Gatrie to step in front of him with his shield. "Gatrie what are-" he stops mid-sentence as he heard "CLANG" going against Gatrie's shield.
Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang
"It seems that her weapon can be thrown as well" Gatrie says as onslaught of Kunai keeps coming. When the onslaught, stop Gatrie took a peek only to discover that Naruto was in front of him with a scarlet ball in her hand instead of where she was when the barrage of Kunai began. Not wanting to find what the mystery ball would do he hides behind his shield.
'Dammit, I forgot how quick she is. Whatever that thing is, it won't do a thing as long I'm behind this.' thought as he takes the brunt force of the attack with the shield. 'What in Ashera's is that?' he thought as his shield breaks to the strange ball.
Somehow sensing incoming danger from her back Naruto halts her strike at Gatrie's neck and jumps high in the air and where she stood was a giant ax cutting the earth by Greil.
"Now that you're a sitting duck, you're done for" exclaim Shinon as he shoots at the still airborne Naruto yet it didn't hit as she twist her body. Landing she quickly back flips preventing her being cleaved.
Not letting up Greil goes on the offensive. Drawing near Greil once more slashes at her, but someone shoves her out of the way.
"IKE, STAY BACK!" Greil yells at his son.
"Why... why... why do you look at me like that! I'M NOT A MONSTER!" Naruto yells sprinting towards IKE with Kunai at hand.
Blood splashes as the kunai meets flesh, warmness envelopes her. "You're not a monster... you're human." Ike consols.
Comforting words rings insider her, shining a light upon the darkness surrounding her banishing the shadows. "I-I-Ike?" Naruto stammers. Scarlet hair returns to golden blonde, sanguine eyes turns back to sky blue as she gets out of her rage madness. Soon enough black spots get to her conscious until she succumbs to fateful unconsciousness.
