Ninja Adventures
Chapter 7
DISCLAIMER I ONLY OWN OC'S
"Stay together," Bren said, as the three made their way through the tree tops. "We'll have to be careful, we don't know what we'll run into here."
Stopping to rest, Bren climbed higher up to get a better vantage point. Down below he could hear his teammates chatter.
"So….. We're alone," Ryoga said, Bren listened and smirked as he heard a punch landing, and Ryoga groaned. His smirk vanished as a shadow covered him. Glancing up, he saw to his surprise, a huge ball of ice. He leaped clear as it smashed into the tree, causing the trunk to snap, and spilling the Genin out of the tree. "What the hell was-"
In an instant, the massive cloaked figure from the academy was leaping through the air, and slammed into Ryoga, sending him flying off into the forest. In a flash, Mizuna was sent soaring as the other cloaked figure attacked. Bren landed on his feet, and prepared to defend himself.
"Your opponent is here," looking up, Bren's eyes fell on the blue haired boy from earlier. "You face Touya, the Ice Dragon."
Ryoga clutched at his stomach, the kick had hurt, a lot, but; it had also sent him crashing into a tree, which didn't help his stomach at all.
"I think I'm gonna throw up," he mumbled. Feeling eyes on him, he looked up to see the cloaked figure watching him, and scowled. "You're the jerk that kicked me! Get down here and fight fair!"
"Alright then!" leaping from the tree, the figure shot down towards Ryoga, the Cloud Genin glimpsed something sticking out of the hood, and leaped away at the last second. "Nose Fencing!"
The impact of the figure hitting the ground kicked up a small dust storm. Ryoga held his arm up to protect his eyes. After the dust settled, Ryoga looked at the crater in shock. The figure had torn away his cloak. The creature was an abomination with the body and arms of a human, but; the legs and head of an elephant. The swaying trunk and tusks were intimidating, as were the arms the size of tree trunks.
"Rejoice fool," he said, trumpeting loudly with his trunk. "As Ganesh with send you to Naraka!"
Mizuna held her hand against the gash on her head to stop the bleeding. The girl before her was fast, she had to be. Her legs were like a leopards, her fingernails were curved claws, and here eyes were green slits like a cats.
"I barely tapped you," she purred. "Stand up and make this game last longer."
"Game? Are you crazy?" Mizuna asked, drawing a kunai. "Just who the hell do you think you are anyway?"
"Me?" she asked. "I know who I am, I am Panthera, goddess of the leopards."
Bren back flipped, barely avoiding Touya's spear thrust. Placing his thumb and pointer finger in his mouth, Bren let out a shrill whistle. Touya raised an eyebrow in confusion, before spinning at the last minute and raising his spear to block Zenshomaru's attack. Hoisting his spear up, Touya launched Zenshomaru up into the air.
"Damned mutt!" he exclaimed, holding his spear like a javelin, he hurled it at the airborne wolf. Luckily, Bren was able to deflect it with a well placed kunai throw, sending it spinning back to Touya. Charging forward, he slashed at the blue haired Genin, who danced around the blow with little difficulty. Touya's foot shot out and nailed Bren in the stomach, sending him skidding back.
"I suppose it's time I quit playing with you," he said, as he twisted his spear with both hands, separating it into two short spears. "Now, lets see how you do with a handicap."
Bren stepped back, and felt his foot slip. Looking down, he saw that the ground had been covered by a thick sheet of ice, all around the whole clearing was covered with ice.
"He can control the temperature," Bren mumbled. "I just hope Ryoga is doing better than me."
The constricting pressure of Ganesh's trunk around Ryoga's throat made the cloud Genin begin seeing spots. He'd already used his best attacks, but; his opponent's thick hide made them ineffective. As he began to slowly asphyxiate to death, Ryoga's hand found the scroll Bui Sensei had given him. Opening it with one hand, he used his other to draw a line on it with blood gushing from his forehead.
Ganesh released the stranglehold and stumbled back, clutching at his tusk, half of it lay on the ground. Glaring at Ryoga, he saw that the boy was now armed. He held a short handled axe, the blades were triangular, giving the impression of Bison horns.
"Bison Axe," Ryoga mumbled, holding it up. "Still wanna fight me?"
"You little…" he mumbled, before charging, he stuck his trunk out straight, and changed the end into a blade. "You broke my tusk! Take this, Nose Fencing!"
Drawing his hand back, Ryoga smirked as the axe elongated, lifting it up, he brought it crashing down on Ganesh's head. The massive body hitting the ground kicked up dust.
"I better get back to the others," he said, before walking back into the forest.
Bren pressed a hand against the wound on his stomach, he glanced over towards the broken sword laying on the ground. Touya looked as if he wasn't even trying at all. He couldn't use the lightning sword, his body couldn't hold up to moving so fast in his present condition.
"I guess I have no choice," he muttered, tossing his other sword away. "It'll have to be that attack."
"Giving up eh?" Touya mocked, as he charged and leaped. "I'll make your death quick!"
As he sailed through the air, he saw too late that Bren had gathered electricity to his hand.
"Chidori!" he shouted, leaping forward. Touya twisted at the last second, causing the attack to graze his shoulder, instead of piercing his heart.
"You! I'll wipe you from the face of this earth!" Touya shouted, his look of rage vanished immediately, and the cool stoic look returned. "It seems I've run out of time playing with you. I'll let you live, for now."
Bren watched him vanish, before his legs finally gave out, and he fell to the ground and into the inky blackness of sleep.
