Chapter Four...
Fictronian-held Konoha...
In this world, the Hokage Mountain had been leveled and the tower that had been the home of the village's best ninja was now a place reserved for Fictronian high officers as a base of operations for the war. Though the ninjas of this village put up a valiant fight, the superior force of the Fictron Knights overwhelmed them. This point was a strategic area, after all. However, some of the local ninjas resisted.
A small squad wearing ANBU masks ran through the forest with five people in hot pursuit. The five following them were the Fictron Knights of Guidance, Order, Truth, Loyalty, and Hope-Dezblade, Mrfipp, Sakkee, Lunatic121, and String. Two of the ninjas fell behind. One of them had pink hair while the other had black. The pink-haired one brought a fist into the ground, causing a chunk of rock to burst between them. However, with a burst of violet energy, String easily punched through them.
"Surprise." She said as Lunatic landed next to her.
"TAKE THE PACKAGE AND GO!" the raven-haired ninja shouted, rapidly making hand-signs as Lunatic did so as well.
"Two can play at that game, chicken-butt." The Fictorian ninja said.
"FIRE-STYLE!" the two shouted, "FIREBALL JUTSU!"
The two spat out bursts of flame. When they made contact, an explosion ripped through the forest. The two vanished from sight as String continued fighting the pink-haired ninja. The two threw punches at each other, the resulting contact caused a crater to appear around them and the ninja's mask to shatter, revealing it to be Sakura Haruno.
"Y'know, we'll be at this all day!" String said as she began blocking blows, "You ninjas lost that fight, DEAL WITH IT."
"No, THIS is our home!" Sakura shouted, "We won't let people like you just come in and take over!"
"That's what we said." String said before deflecting an oncoming blow and throwing a punch. Her River Energy allowed her to super-charge her arms and legs to deliver massive blows and powerful jumps. One blow broke Sakura's neck like a twig.
Meanwhile, the other ninja was pacing around, a set of kunai in hand. He heard something and hurled the projectiles at the source, narrowly missing Lunatic, whose eyes were glowing blue.
"Nice shot." Lunatic said before hurling one of his chakram, hitting the ninja in the neck and sending him to the ground, bleeding and gasping for air. Lunatic's power gave him an incredible eye for long-range weapons, allowing him to hit his targets nine times out of ten. He walked over to the ninja and kicked off his mask, showing it was Sasuke Uchiha. He pulled the chakram out. In seconds, the Uchiha had died.
Meanwhile, the remaining ninjas were running as fast as they could, slowly getting picked off. One got impaled by Fipp's Bungee Blade, another by Dez's chain kama.
"Getting package to portal." The leader said into a comm link, "Fictron Knights are on our tails..."
She saw a bluish-green portal and hurled the package into it. She made to jump behind it, but she yelled as she felt a dart hit her neck.
"Nice aim, Kee." Dez said to Sakkee as the three knights surrounded her.
"I could see where she was going." Sakkee said, looking at a gauntlet that the ninja knew was a Fictronian Dart-Thrower.
"Now, what's this little ninja up to?" asked a voice. In a flurry of movement, TLSoulDude landed in front of the ninja. He grabbed her mask and took it off, showing it was a girl with white eyes and dark brown hair, "The dart that hit you was laced with Cambrillo Venom. It's an interesting substance we kept from Fictron. It isn't lethal, don't worry, but it makes lying rather hard. I can tell you're a Hyuga, but why not say a little more about yourself? Who are you and why were you and your friends out here after curfew?"
"N...no..." The Hyuga said, brows furrowed in concentration.
"Think we can risk a higher dosage, Fipp?" TL asked, looking at him.
"I think, but not much." Fipp replied, placing a needle on the Hyuga's neck. It disintegrated into her flesh and she yelled out.
"And don't try running." Dez advised, "Sakkee's got future-sight. Any plan you have, she's already got a counter about a minute in advance."
"Now, who are you?" TL asked, "And what was that package?"
"I...I'm Hanabi Hyuga." she said, "I was sending it to Earth, to be picked up by Mora Nara. I don't know what it was, just that it could stop this war."
"Thank you for your cooperation." TL said, drawing his UFO Short Sword, "Had we met under different circumstances, Hanabi Hyuga, I might've liked you. This isn't personal, but how would it look if I let one person escape?"
"M-my clan would not..."
"Their options are dealing with it or getting wiped out." TL said, driving his sword into her chest, "In these times, I'm not really picky as to which one."
TL pulled his blade out and let the girl fall to the ground.
"Now what, Lord Ultima Master?" Fipp asked.
"Prepare to mobilize the troops." TL said, "We're going to end this. This will be the final battle."
Edge began running as fast as he could, stopping to catch his breath. He had been running for about three days now, taking stops for food or to catch his breath. If the FAF had been around, there might have been some form of teleportation at his disposal. But, there was nothing he could do. He had to make it to Columbus. He read in a paper that there were vampire attacks in that area, normally on criminals or scout parties of Balances and Fictronians. If the rumors were true and if his gut was to be trusted, the it could only be one person.
He entered into a rundown house as the sun began going down.
"Let's see, rundown shack, far side of town..." he said, walking in as he walked down the stairs, seeing a rack of pistols and assault rifles and a coffin, "Odd obsession with guns and a coffin. I think I have a pretty good idea who this is..."
When the sun faded from sight, putting the world into darkness, the coffin slid open and a fist closed around Edge's neck. The Shadow Syndicate, looking more like a noir detective than a SWAT officer. He slowly stood up, holding the leonine up.
"Who sent you?" he snarled.
"S...Syn..." Edge choked.
"The FBI? Fictron Knights? Whatever special operations the Balances use?" he snarled as he grabbed a pistol and pointed it at Edge's chin.
"I...found ya..." Edge gasped, "Because...b-because I...need you..."
TSS dropped Edge, who began panting.
"Make it fast, I have a patrol to take." the vampire said, shoving his pistol into the holster before grabbing a set of SMG's.
"Look, this may sound weird, but I'm a time-traveller." Edge said.
"And I'm a vampire. Which is weirder?" TSS asked.
"Touche." Edge said, "But things went haywire because somebody screwed with history, making this world the way it is. Where I came from, everything was different."
"Goes without saying." TSS stated, sliding a crowbar onto his belt, "Okay, bored now, good-bye."
"What's up with you?" Edge asked, "I mean, where I came from, you weren't the friendliest of guys, but you at least TRIED."
"Trust me, in this world, a vampire is the lesser of the monsters." TSS said, walking out the door into the night, Edge following after him. He sighed, "You're not leaving, are you?"
"No." Edge stated.
"Question." TSS said, looking over, "In your world, was my organization in one piece?"
"Hellsing? Yeah, they were." Edge replied. "...Wait, what happened to Hellsing?"
He would receive no answer from his undead former-companion, who simply glowered at him silently for a few moments… before sighing in defeat. "Where's that device?" TSS asked.
