Dread Lord Chapter 6, a Warcraft + Naruto Crossover fanfic

Disclaimer-I do not own Naruto or Warcraft, or any other game or manga, which I used while writing this...unfortunately.

Dread Lord.

Chapter VI.

Lordaeron. Alterac Mountains. Secret base of the Cult of the Cursed.

Naruto blocked the strike of one of the Fel Knights, several others that were directed into his left leg blocked Sanegirea, with the sword, left by the Fel Knight, who guarded the vault.

"Malkariss? Is that really you?" asked she, turning to him. "What happened to you?"

"If I say that it was the plastic surgeon, will you believe me?" asked he, making the right guess about her question.

"I will not ask for a time, of course, if you will tell me the address of that surgeon. Don't take it badly, I liked your appearance before, but the current one just… makes me horny all the time."

"I promise, that I will make it for all the time that we weren't together, but first, we must get out of here!" said he cleaving another knight in half.

"Where? It was one of demons from high command that put me into this stone and I doubt that you have some secluded place, where I can hide for a while." Answered succubus.

"Trust me Sunny, I can surprise, if I wish for it." Answered the nathrezim "Now move your pretty hips, or you will never have sex anymore, because we will be both trapped in the fel-stone!"

Something like this certainly wasn't in the plans of newly released demoness, so she jumped into the air, opened her wings and through her blade in the head of one of the knights, her enemy didn't manage to evade the spinning death and more than foot of good steel pierced his skull.

He fell and next second succubus stood upon him, her sword already in her hand and in the body of another knight.

Seeing that their attempts were futile at best, Knights decided to increase their numbers, by activating the alarm. However, Malkariss prepared to such occasion and when of the Knights touched the magic orb that was used to give a signal, it exploded tearing the knight's arm apart and piercing him with the pieces of the crystal.

"Ha!" smiled Sanigerea, "Looks like you didn't become rusty, while I was flying in that stone in Twisted Neither, looks like you are still as cunning and perceptive as I remember, it will help us here, by the way, where the fuck IS that here? What is the name of this damned world where I landed?"

"Azeroth." Answered nathrezim dealing with the last Fel Knight. "You have landed on the Azeroth."

She turned her face to him. "Seriously? Of all worlds to land, I landed on the fucking Azeroth?! Where the ass of the Great One himself was fucked without lube, and where roughly I must add, by the forces of mortals?"

"Yes, my dear. Moreover, right now another invasion is on the move. Using the army of undead called the Scourge, my brethren turned the Eastern Kingdoms into the ravaged dead lands filled with the undead monsters."

"Great just great." Said Sanigerea. "Not only it is the world that we wanted to conquer, and were defied several times, but we are also in place where everything is set up by your brothers and all around us are hordes of necro-fuckers. Great Just great. By the way, is your brother here?"

"Which one?" asked Malkariss. "Anetheron is practicing in licking od the asses of the higher ups, Mephistroth, well he is doing something far away from the Azeroth, so I cannot find out, Tichodrius is here, commanding this parade in honor of the Burning Legion."

"Great, of all brothers to command here it has to be the Main Nathrezim. And you? Why are you here?" asked she.

"I tried to warn my brothers about the use of undead. Scourge is a powerful weapon, but there is no one to convert after them." Answered he.

"Oh… I don't think that they took it well." Said she.

"Yes, you are now speaking with an official opposition." Said he.

"Oh… Well, it's been a while since I did something rebellious, but since I cannot return to the Legion, I'm up to something wild and free… of course after I receive my portion of the 'wild and free' in your personal quarters." Purred she, smiling and coming closer.

"In my personal quarters there is only really large bed, and you know what, it is still not tested." Smiled he in return.

"But this will be later, right now… How will we get out of here?" asked she.

With a smile, he seemingly out of thin air, got to large robes.

"I hope you didn't lose your skills in shapeshifting?"

In all the commotion and havoc, caused by the destruction of the vault, no one payed attention to a pair of figures, who moved in direction of the exit out of the underground base.

Several days later. Zul'Aman. Flying necropolis of Malkariss.

Meeting with his other lieutenants went rather well. Or rather it was good, that Sharak'Jin always paranoid, didn't kill Sanigerea right on the spot and she didn't seduce Daliar right on the table in the main hall.

Well, no matter how good went the operation with Sanigerea, there were still many others things, that unfortunately will require his personal attention. Right now, he needed to understand, how to empower his magic source that he started to create inside his necropolis, to deal with fall of Silvermoon.

However, he faced yet another problem when he continued his work. When he found out that the source of the magic energy needed to be created in the special place, like the cross of the magic lines that was used by the Dath'Remar, when he created the Sunwell, he decided to use the water from the place, where this line comes very close to the earth.

And it worked.

However, in such decision there was a trap, if he will create the well through the magic of this world, it will be too attached to the Azeroth. A world where lived such beings like Old Gods. Moreover, he didn't want to give even the slightest connection to the well to the local watchers of the magic, the Blue Dragons.

So he needed something to… water this magic, to create a mix between the powers, that can be consumed by the elves, but cannot be used to harm him and his growing kingdom.

As options he had powers of Fel and Elements. Fel was easy to use and he was a great expert in that, but such changes in the biology that will come with it can negatively work on the younger generation of the elves, so he couldn't risk it.

Elements… would be a great mix with the power of the well and also were very easy to acquire. But the rulers of such powers… Ragnaros, Neptulon, Al'Akir and Terazanna. He didn't need them anywhere near his well too.

Then it struck him: what if he will take the power of the Elements from some other world… He even knew from where.

Sometime later.

"And here I was wandering when will you come here again, brother." Said Tichondrius, looking at the Mephistroth, who had just teleported outside the camp.

Tichondrius, fortunately was in good mood. Fallen prince started the siege of the third keep and recently took the second. Everything was going as planned.

"Young knight is doing his work perfectly and how are you, doing, brother?" asked Tichondrius.

"There are some minor problems, brother." Answered Malkariss.

"There are always problems, but you come more often than others." Fortunately, his good mood was still on the side of Malkariss, so Tichondrius didn't just kill Malkariss on the spot. He let him talk. "Okay, brother, tell me what happened now?"

"Leftovers of the elves and local aborigines. Even you great Arthas had lost in their ambushes more people than my entire army has units." Said Malkariss.

"And what do you want? I cannot give you any kind of reinforcements or search types of undead, there are just plainly no such kind." Answered the Main Nathrezim.

"That's why I decided to use something else. Elves are very close to mystical energies; they are… one with them."

"You want Hounds?!" Tichondrius suddenly turned to him. "Out of question! Lord Archimonde ordered to not open any kind of portals before he will be summoned to this world."

"That's why I'm here, brother. We don't need to summon them, we can get a pair, I can even go myself, through our personal portals, that cannot be tracked, and bring a pair or two of there to Zul'Aman, where I can breed them. You know, I was always good with animals."

"And why shall you, a nathrezim of still very high statue do a work of the last warlock?" asked Tichondrius.

"First of all, if you want to do something right, brother, you must do it yourself. Moreover, I don't like when some sort of bandits breathes on my territory without my permission."

"Bandits?" raised his brow Tichondrius.

"By your decree I'm the lord of these lands, brother. If all these people do not agree with this, then they are dissidents, if they are armed - rebels, but since there were no political claims or something like that, they are just bandits, plain and simple."

Tichondrius started to laugh. "And here I thought that you had lost your grip, brother. You can do as you want, but if you are caught I will not cover you. And first breed is mine."

Nodding, Malkariss disappeared in the teleport.

Several days later. Draenor.

Naruto looked over the red sands of the Wastelands. Draenor… so much in one word. So much pain, hatred, struggle… all that represented Draenor. Broken, destroyed, yet to stubborn to just die, like all other worlds before him.

Maybe Draenor wasn't such world-veteran as unbreakable Azeroth, who survived several cataclysms and withstood several demonic invasions. (Seriously, memories of nathrezim proved, that much seemingly tougher and certainly larger worlds, were destroyed by the battles that weren't even half as grand that happened on Azeroth.)

Naruto looked in the other way.

Countless lines of marching soldiers, hounds, Doom Guards, nathrezim and other demons. Legion was ready for war and demons were thirsting blood. He once again looked over the 'elite' of the Legion's forces.

No matter how much patriot he was… They must die, for him to rise. And he will be damned if he will lose the chance.

Some time later.

Old shaman was running, not caring that his old body was too fragile to withstood such a pressure in his old age, he ran, nor caring about his old legs that become heavier with each step, he ran, not caring about his lungs, seemingly filled with molten lead.

He ran because somewhere, near the Throne of the Elements, something terrible had happened.

When he reached the Throne, he finally understood what was wrong.

He stood in the center in the large burn mark on the body of the earth, a large demon, clad in purple armor. His pale-purple skin, just like his armor, seem to consume the light. Old shaman didn't even take his time to catch a breath.

He attacked.

Hatred caused by the sight of the ancient foe, who right in front of his own eyes was corrupting the most holly place to all shamans… just colored his world red. He summoned his power, calling to spirits for aid and large lightning bolt hit the figure of the demon.

Only to be completely consumed by the bright blue magical shield that appeared around him.

Old shaman fell to the earth, lightning that killed gronns was harmless against this demon. Meanwhile, said demon slowly turned in his direction.

"Shaman?" asked he with surprise, notable in his voice. "No matter, I have nearly finished." With next wave of his hand he destroyed another spirit, but instead of dissolving the spirit slowly turned into the mist, which started to fill the vial in the demon's hand.

During this the spirit screamed… the same way that the shaman heard during all his run to the Throne.

"Oh… don't be so angry, old one. It would have been even worse if I dared to corrupt the Throne."

"Your kind have already cursed my people." Said the old shaman, as lightning started to concentrate near his hands. "Didn't you have enough."

Flames of the Fel energy gathered near the open palm of the Naruto's hand.

"Think again shaman, If I will kill you… who will calm down them?" and he nodded in the direction of the gathering angry spirits. Old orc gritted his teeth, if he will fall in the battle with demons, there will not be anyone, who will manage to calm these spirits.

He relaxed his hands, releasing the lightning bolts.

"Wise decision." Said the demon, ripping the space behind himself and creating the portal. "By the way… tell to your elders, that the orc, who isn't of Blackrock clan, took the Doomhammer, and it is once again serving justice."

Sometime later.

Getting the Hellhounds was even easier than getting the vial with the energy of the spirits. He just ordered the pack.

During his stay at the Kil'Jaeden's court, Malkariss learnt how to breed these creatures, moreover he managed to breed even the entirely new breeds of Hellhounds, the notorious Rippers, larger and more powerful version, with different skin color, were his creations.

In specially built kennels, fed by the specially enchanted food. Hellhounds will quickly mutate as he will need them.

Meanwhile he waited for Daliar in the specially built room, inside the Necropolis. Here he will create the new Well.

His clawed finger slowly draw the runes right in the metal of the silver pool, that he created through the use of alchemy and demonic magic. Sitting on his knee, concentrating and slowly pouring the runes with magic, that's how Daliar saw him as he entered the room.

"Ah… you are finally here." Said the nethrezim. "I'm have a quest for you Daliar. Among your peers you must find me several young girls. Preferably children. Also preferably if they will be orphans. Before you will say something I do not need them for sacrifice."

"Then… for what?" asked the elf after five-minute pause, since he nearly prepared to argue with demon.

"To fill the waters of new well with magic." Answered demon. "Seriously, Daliar, do you think that creation of the new well is something that similar that can be created just through the sacrifice of several innocent souls? I'm really disappointed."

"Okay." Raised his hands Daliar. "But why girls and so little ones?"

"Because males even in that age want to much. Just trust me Daliar… Girls will be more… Explosiveproof. We don't want to destroy the only hope that your people have, while we will be creating it, don't we?"

"It can get to even this?"

"Yes, that's why you must find… well kind children. They must not be angry with their situation. Even the slightest spark may ignite the flame that will devour the whole Zul'Aman."

Daliar gulped and nodded.

"When will you need them?"

"I needed them at least week ago. Seriously, my friend it will be a miracle if you will find one during this day. After all, they will need, except their kind nature, a very great magic potential. And one more thing, tell your elves, to get your children and those, who will look after them into the Necropolis. Soon the Silvermoon will fall."

Sometime later. Private Chambers of Malkariss. Necropolis.

Divine magic was always interesting in the eyes of his demonic part. So different, yet also similar to that of the Fel. An exact opposite in a way. So when he had found a liquid version of it, Naruto decided to… experiment on it.

Eventually it did explode…

However, with explosion of light, Naruto also felt the forming of a bond… and familiar presence that he hadn't felt in a long time.

"Is that you… brother Lothraxion?"

"Malkariss? I feel that something within you had changed. Perhaps there is still hope for us, if even one of the eldest of us can see the Light."

Naruto sighed. "let's just say that I was updated a bit, I didn't saw the light in the end of tunnel and my opinion about this choice of yours still haven't changed. I saw, how people believing themselves righteous did even worse deeds than the most sadistic Nathrezim. I certainly will not be infused with Light. But this doesn't mean that I will not greet you as my comrade, brother. Just like you, I have decided to build my own casino with black-jack and bitches."

He heard how his brother silently laughed. "Well Malkariss, all I can do is wish you luck… However… I presume that you had experimented with the divine magic, since I can sense some of the Light in you."

"Yes… It had exploded."

"As it should have. I think that mixing it with other energies destabilized it. And as a result, you had created this link… Hmm… I wonder can other Nathrezim with the Light energy within them use it? Or can only we, one of the strongest of them?"

"That is something that I will find out, brother."

"That we will. By the way… My scouts are reporting that Legion id moving its forces again." instantly changed the theme his Light-infused brother.

"Lothraxion, it always happens. Especially during such great companies as current one. Archmonde wishes to take the power of the World Tree for himself. And he will not be stopped by anyone."

"And you? Where are you stand in this madness?" asked Lothraxion.

"Well… I'm the opposition. The only one, who sees that our current allies will betray us and the attempt to claim the power of the Tree will doom us all."

"Your words are wise Malkariss… I also hope that you are right… We cannot afford to lose the Azeroth."

"Azeroth withstood even more mighty blows. That's a beautiful and rough world. And it will not be taken by the likes of Kil'Jaeden and Archmonde. They will not succeed where the Sargeras himself had failed."

With these words brothers ended their conversation.

Konoha. Tower in the Forest of Death.

Hinata easily evaded the strikes of her cousin, Neji. Nobody expected this of her, in the eyes of others she was always meek and shy girl.

Nobody… except of Taliossa.

Demoness knew the potential, when she saw one. And she saw one in Hinata. Rigorous training made her body flexible and powerful. Energy of the Fel coursed through her, causing the inner changes, unseen to the naked eye and hidden by the unchanged appearance of the girl.

"Stay still!" with spit on his chin, furious from the humiliation his cousin caused to him, Hyuuga Neji surely was scary. However, Hinata wasn't afraid, swords in her hands kept her furious cousin away from her.

Neji spitted blood from the bitten lip. He did it himself, trying to calm down. His cousin was far more formidable opponent than he had predicted. Than all of them had predicted. Even without their clan style, left alone, to be killed and humiliated, for him to take her place, she still managed to grow up strong.

Too strong actually.

His only chance for victory was forcing her to play by his rules.

"I knew that you would have never become the heiress, you failed in our family's battle style, you stained it with melee weapons and tricks… You are not…ack!"

Two blades in Hinata's hands pierced his shoulders, effectively shutting him up. She used a bit of Fel energy, given to her by Taliossa, to poison her cousin.

"We are ninjas, cousin dearest, we do not play fair. It's time for you and old fossils from the council of our family to understand this." Said she, leaving unconscious Neji, lying in pool of his own blood.

Meanwhile on the stands.

Orochimaru looked at the scene before him. Young boy was a prodigy and rather promising vessel candidate. With his new powers and promise of vengeance he will easily turn him on young Hinata. Her unusual powers, so similar to his own fascinated mad scientist, he wanted to see, how young girl will manage with these powers.

She will be a perfect test subject.

Azeroth. Zul'Aman. Necropolis.

Looking at the little blonde girl, who stood in front of him, Naruto started to think that perhaps Daliar was a miracle-worker in secret. Because finding the suitable candidate in less than a day was… rather good show of his skills.

Girl's name was Salandria. Left alone after the Scourge ravaged her village, she still was a bright and always smiling child. Just as he asked. Malkariss appeared before her as high figure covered by the black robes head to toe.

At least he tried to not scare girl with his massive demonic form.

Little girl looked really funny in all the artifacts, which he had find during his campaign, especially in those, made by trolls, but they helped her to gather energy and send it to the well. They barely managed to start and Salandria showed a really good progress, but then… IT happened.

Silvermoon had fallen under the siege of the Scourge.

He felt the destruction of the Sunwell even from here. Explosion wave was massive, he felt how it nearly cut the magic lines under the surface of the earth. Disturbance caused by such a powerful magic will surely cause a lot of destruction even more unseen kind than these that can be seen by the naked eye.

First he could already observe, if he would walk to the balcony and look down, at his elves. Crawling in dirt, from sudden loss of power, walking like they suffered from somnambulism, not reacting to any obstacle on their pass, broken by the loss of something great… Elves had lost their hearts and they most sacred place.

Even trolls felt the tragedy and weren't so noisy as always.

But right now, Naruto didn't care about anything like this. He tried to get to her senses unconscious form of Salandria in his arms.

Sometime later. Ruins of Silvermoon.

He didn't want to appear in the Silvermoon.

Period.

But not appearing after such a grand victory was rather rude. So he waited long enough… to not look like the asslicker from the opposition, who decided to once again change his position. No he waited as long as possible, to not be rude, spending this time with unconscious Salandria.

But all good things come to an end, even his meeting with a child. So he stood up and ripped the space-time continuum with move of his hand.

Stepping out of portal, he had found himself in the Silvermoon.

He looked around and… and saw countless hordes of uncontrolled undead. It took all his self-restrain to not laugh at the situation. So that's how, Ner'Zul decided to get the Nathrezim from the tail of his chosen one.

With disguise of enthusiasm of the loyal warrior of the cause.

For the first time in countless months… Dread Lord felt how his mood had risen.

Tichondrius have been waiting him on the square, looking at the fires that burned on the ruins of some building.

"Mortals say that you can constantly look at three things." Not expecting such kind of a greeting from someone like him. "How fire burns, how water runs and how others work. Usually they do it, trying to calm themselves in times of peril. We are not humans brother. And you had succeeded."

"Succeeded?" low hissing voice of Tichondrius and his eyes, glowing with red, unholy fire, showed that everything wasn't as good as Naruto thought. "Brother, we have invaded the Quel'Thalas to get the Sunwell. Where the fuck it is?! There is nothing but an empty husk instead of it!"

Deciding to tread carefully, Malkariss tried to shift his brother's anger to someone else. "I heard that explosion of the Sunwell was caused by the agent of Ner'Zul."

Lips of his brother opened, showing two raws of the needle like teeth, like he ate something sour. "That good-for-nothing bastard? Please… He still believes that he would have received the Sunwell, in the end of the campaign and destruction of it wasn't his intention. Heck we could have changed that thing into the portal between worlds without any loss in its primal function. Now we will be forced to stick to the plan "B"."

"We will use the book?"

"Yes. The book of Medivh. Kept in the Dalaran, the last large fortress of the Alliance in these lands. This is the only thing that we can do in such situation. Explosion of the Sunwell is way too… unnatural. We fear that it was the work of the dragons. Since that idiot Dar'Khan has next to nothing mental defense and our enemies are masters of the mental magic, very much like us, we can believe only the words of other Nathrezim. And we don't have a lot of them… Maybe you were right in your claims about the field work."

His brother made a pause.

"Anyway, in current situation I cannot give you any kind of the reinforcements. That pack that you got… keep it. Also I grant you the right to visit whatever place you took it from one more time. Several more packs will not be wasted in your hands. Or at least I hope so."

Tichondrius turned his back on him and Naruto was left alone as his other brothers slowly gathered. With smiles on their faces and supremacy in their eyes the greeted him. Naruto smiled in answer. None of the Nathrezim understood that in form of Naruto, the Death itself smiled at them.

Konoha. Day of the Chuunin Exams.

Sarutobi hit the stone roof hard. He barely managed to get up, to gaze upon the twisted form of his corrupted pupil. Green lines covered hi pale body, muscles increased in size and in veins also coursed the glowing green liquid, that was seen even through the skin.

Kusanagi, engulfed in emerald flames pointed at him.

"It's over Sarutobi-sensei. Looks like there is nothing left for you to teach me. I became the master myself. You let your own age to caught up to you. You failed in your duty once again. But unlike the previous times, you will pain with your own life."

"Konoha will stand. It will not bow." answered the Third Hokage.

"It will. Under the rule of the new Hokage it will prosper. Other villages will fall, or submit to my rule. Then the world itself will become mine.

"You… will not manage to… do this… many before you had… tried… and failed." It was become much harder for him to talk, even more, to stand.

"Not if I have a support from someone, who had already done something like this before."

"My foolish apprentice… this path will lead you to your own death… but do not worry… I will wait on the other side…"

"Unlike you, sensei, I'm planning to leave for eternity." Answered him Orochimaru.

But his teacher didn't hear him. The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was already dead.

He had died standing. Fighting to his last breath.

Unknown place.

Hinata moaned as she slowly opened her eyes. Judging by her surrounding she was in her mindscape.

"Awake already?" Hinata turned her head, to see the large form of the Taliossa, who stood to her left. "Good. You will need to be prepared. We are not in Konoha anymore."

"Hope nowhere near Kumo." Grumbled Hinata.

"Don't worry child." Laughed the shivarra. "We are in the another world. Whatever did that shinobi from Sound, who you fought, his technique after colliding with yours had created the portal, that sucked you in. I managed to get the language from the heads of the nearby people, and give you the basic understanding of it."

Hinata opened her eyes, with last words of Taliossa still ringing in her ears. She managed to see that when she stood up someone small, perhaps a child, moved behind the door.

Door?

Hinata looked around. She lied in the comfortable bed, in the room whit wooden walls, ceiling and floor. Simple a plain room. Yet everything in it just… breathed with kindness and calmness. Light was coming from the window to her left. Comfortable bed she was in…

Suddenly her ninja instincts once again kicked in, reminding her, that she was butt naked in the unknown environment.

Consumed by her thoughts, she didn't notice as the door opened and old man entered the room. To Hinata he reminded the Third Hokage.

"Welcome Sky Child." Said the man. Welcome to the Tabris, of Tristain Kingdom."

Same time. Azeroth. Necropolis.

"I will be off Azeroth for a while. Thus I need you to complete a mission of outmost importance for me, Sanegeria." Said Dread Lord to the succubus.

"Outmost importance? I hope nothing like the last one with the Cult of the Cursed." answered she.

"No. It came to my notice, that Scourge is destroying the competent leaders of Alliance and them is using them in their army, moreover, incompetent ones, like that… Garithos, become leaders just because they were the highest of rank, who survived."

Dread Lord was silent for a minute.

"I need you to find, befriend and ensure the survival of the half-elf commander, called Finnall Goldesword. Rumors say that she is a bastard daughter of Daelin Proudmoore, thus automatically making her one of the leaders of the Alliance. With right guidance, she may become the power to rival Garithos and the Cult on the lands of the Lordaeron."

"And this 'guidance' shall be ours. I understand you, dear. Everything shall be done in the best kind of way."

Sometime later.

Salandria was pouting. Not only her teacher, the Waiting One had left, (She had never understood what was so scary in him, sure he was high and covered by the dark robes, but he was very kind man under that façade. She herself thought that other just couldn't understand him and therefore feared him.) leaving her to herself, 'to meditate and prepare for the main event as he called it.

Suddenly the doors burst open letting the familiar form of her teacher inside. However instead of greeting her, he got something from his robes… no not something… someone.

Small girl with blue skin. After several seconds of looking much closer Salandria managed to see that even if she was a humanoid, just like her and had rather beautiful face and hair on her head, she also had hooves, horns, tail and tentacle like appendages on her jaw.

"Salandria, this is Ma'ari, she is a draenei and will help you with your task."

Small elf and small draenei girls looked at each other.

None of them thought that it will be the start of the great friendship.
