Chapter 6: The Land of Snow, Ice
It has been several weeks since the four Kamen Riders first came to Konoha and sealed the Armadillo Undead. After that they became rather well known for defeating the Undead and were seen as idols by the younger generation for what they had done, but they're newfound fame had some repercussions as well.
Some members of the council wanted to start a investigation to find out who they were. The members that had brought it up were Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane.
The three from what Minato had told them were diehards for Konoha and Koharu and Homura were the Sandaime Hokage's old team mates, while Danzo was his rival. The Sandaime, Hiruzen Sarutobi had died defeating the Kyuubi sixteen years ago when it had attacked Konoha, but they knew what really happened. Sarutobi had died sealing the Kyuubi into Narumi.
When they had read the report about the Armadillo Undead attacking the academy and how Garren had held it off along with Zabuza and Haku, until Minato had arrived with the others and sealed it, they wanted to send some ANBU to investigate and find out who they were and get answers from them.
Minato had immediately shot the idea saying that he had already questioned them about the creatures and had told them what they were called. When he was finished with his explanation Danzo had questioned why he didn't have them captured so that they could learn more about them and take the Rouze Cards from them as well.
They would have to be careful about what they do now and where they change if a Undead were to appear inside or near Konoha again, if not Danzo and his supporters might try to capture them and take Rouze Cards like he had suggested during the meeting.
Right now the four Kamen riders were inside a movie theater along with Team Seven as well in a port village near the outskirts of Fire Country. Their seats weren't the best, but at least they weren't at the very back of the movie theatre. It wasn't just them however, but also Narumi, Sasuke and Sakura to were here to see the movie as well. Unlike them however they didn't have seats, they were standing on the room's ceiling and because of that they were seeing the movie upside down.
"Look out Princess Gale!" Narumi cried, as she watched the movie with wide eyes, drawing the attention of many of the rooms' occupants and the four Kamen Riders as well.
This wasn't the first time that she had yelled during the movie and it was obvious that she was greatly into the movie, but she was getting on the nerves of many of the rooms occupants, because of her outbursts.
"Why are we here again?" Takashi whispered to his friends quietly.
"Because Kakashi asked us to come here and besides when was the last time we all saw a movie," Masamune answered quietly, after he finished eating another handful of popcorn. It had been a while since they had saw a good movie together and despite being in a world that was less advanced then the one that they had came from the effects were pretty good to say the least, they were even better than some of the newer movies that they had saw.
"I'd say it was a few months ago before we came here and I think it was… The Avengers if I remember right," Katsuie said, unsure if that was really the one that they had seen last.
"Does it really matter, it's a good movie and it got's some nice music," Arashi said, as he watched the move, never taking his eyes off of the movie for a second.
"Despite the interruptions," Takashi said, getting a nod of agreement from the others and a reluctant one from Arashi. While he didn't really mind the Narumi's yelling it would've been nice to watch the movie without the outbursts.
"Hey what the hell are you doing up there!" A man, no doubt the manager exclaimed.
Narumi, Sasuke, and Sakura stopped channeling chakra into their feet and landed on the floor.
"Don't play stupid with me you snuck in here without paying you lousy freeloaders!" The manager exclaimed.
"Whoa hold on, you got it wrong. We were just getting a little training while watching the movie," Narumi explained.
"Training for what?"
"We have tickets," Sasuke said, showing the man their tickets.
"Are you ninja from the leaf village?" The manager questioned.
"Yup you got that right buddy!" Narumi exclaimed.
It was then that people seated on the higher levels began throwing their junk down on the group and the manager and telling them to get out, no doubt having enough of Narumi's outbursts.
"I'm outta here, I don't want popcorn and whatever else they got hitting me," Arashi said, getting up and making his way to the exit, watching out for any junk that might come his way.
"Well it was a good movie while it lasted, but I don't wanna run the risk of possibly getting hit by a soda," Masamune said, getting up from his seat as well and followed Arashi out of the theater, Takashi, and Katsuie following them out of the theater.
When they got outside they waited for the others to come out and soon saw Narumi and Sakura arguing while Sasuke followed them and ignored their arguing. The group moved into a nearby alley way that had a large billboard of the Princess Gale movie that they just saw.
"That movie was awesome, it just blew me away," Narumi said with a dazed smile, getting a chuckle from Arashi who agreed with her.
"I don't wanna hear it! You made such a racket in there that we couldn't see the ending!" Sakura exclaimed angrily, glaring at Narumi. She then sighed and said. "I wish we could've stayed longer, I could've watched that handsome Michi that played Sugekuro all day long." She then looked back at Sasuke with a smile and said flirtingly. "Of course he's not as handsome as you Sasuke."
'Suck up,' the four Kamen Riders and Narumi thought in unison.
"You're taste in men sucks Sakura," Narumi said bluntly.
"What was that," Sakura said, glaring at the red head who glared right back at her.
"Yeah I gotta agree with red on this," Masamune said, using the nickname that he had picked out for Narumi. Sakura turned her head and glared at Masamune, who just calmly ate his popcorn, not feeling intimated by her glare at all.
"You know it would be kinda awesome to fight for a princess," Narumi said, thinking about some bits of the movie.
"Yeah that would be something," Katsuie admitted.
"Whatever it's just a movie," Sasuke said.
"You know I wonder why Kakashi-Sensei asked us to come and see this movie," Sakura wondered out loud.
They heard the clatter of horse hoofs, causing Narumi and Sasuke to stand up and turned toward the gate that they were coming from. After a few moment of waiting a woman on grey horse jumped over the fence. The woman had light blue eyes and long black hair that went down to the middle of her back. She wore a green kimono and light blue kimono and a pink obi. This was Yukie Fujikaze, but the four Kamen Riders knew who she really was. Her real name was Koyuki Kazahana.
"No way, was that the princess?" Sakura questioned, staring at the direction that she took off at.
"Yup, that was Princess Gale," Masamune said nonchalantly, taking another bite of his popcorn.
It was then that the gate opened, knocking Narumi and Sakura back as a large crowd of armored samurai with red hats on horseback chased after her. Arashi quickly caught Narumi, preventing her from hitting the ground as Sakura rubbed her back from where she landed.
"Are you okay?" Arashi questioned.
"Yeah I'm fine," Narumi questioned, and then gained a determined look as she chased after the samurai, Sakura and Sasuke chasing after them as well. Leaving Arashi, Masamune, Takashi, and Katsuie behind.
"Shouldn't we go help them?" Arashi asked, looking at the others.
"Nah, they got it," Masamune replied nonchalantly, taking another bite if his popcorn.
"Dude their ninja, they don't need us for this, and besides that's part of the crew remember, it's not like they're gonna get hurt," Takashi said. He had watched that movie enough times with his little cousin, because he would always want to see it whenever he came over or he had to babysit him since it was his favorite movie in the franchise.
"Yeah man, they can take care of themselves, they don't need us for this, and besides I don't think we could keep up with them," Katsuie said.
"I see your point," Arashi sighed.
It was then that Kakashi appeared in swirl of leaves and looked around, no doubt wondering where the others were.
"Hey guys what happened here and where is the rest of my team?" Kakashi questioned, confirming their thoughts.
"There was a stampede of men on horses chasing after Yukie Fujikaze, you know the actress that plays Princess Gale?" Takashi answered. "Anyway after that your team chased after them since they recognized Yukie and thought that the guys might be bandits or something."
"Thanks for telling, I hope this doesn't make the client reconsider hiring us, but why didn't you go and chase after them as well?" Kakashi questioned, wondering why they didn't go to help his team.
"Their ninja they can take of themselves, and besides I haven't finished my popcorn," Masamune said, taking another bite of his popcorn.
Kakashi just stared at Masamune with what they were sure was a quirked eyebrow underneath his mask, he then sighed and said. "Thanks for telling me, I'll tell you guys the reason I asked you to come after I get my team, but there's a place that we need to meet up when I get them."
Kakashi then gave them a address and told them how they could get there. After he told them how they could get there he then ran off in the direction that they had told them about to chase after his team.
"Well then I guess we should head to the studio now," Masamune said, getting a nod of agreement from the others as he took another bite of popcorn from his bag.
"Hey guys do you think that we're going to Snow Country now?" Katsuie asked.
"Maybe, but we can't say for sure. Either way it's a good thing that we brought our jackets," Arashi said.
"I hate the cold," Takashi groaned, getting a laugh from the other Riders.
Narumi, Sasuke, Sakura
Narumi, Sasuke, and Sakura were chasing after the samurai to help the princess. They could see the princess knock over a cart and her horse go through a banner as people moved out of the way.
One of the samurai nodded to the one next to it and the samurai nodded in return. The samurai then led his horse into a nearby alley way to cut off the princess as the others chased after her. When she turned the corner the samurai that had cut through the alley way appeared, making the princess's horse came to abrupt stop and neighed. He pulled out a large net and threw it on her and the hose intending to capture her, but before it could get on her Narumi threw several shuriken at the net, cutting it into multiple pieces.
The samurai stared in surprise as Narumi jumped from her place on the building and used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to make several clones.
The princess seeing an opportunity quickly kicker her horse's side and took off, before the samurai could react he and several of his comrades were jumped by Narumi and her clones, knocking them and their horses down and holding them down on the ground.
The rest of the samurai continued with the chase and made their way after her and were led by a middle aged man with light brown hair, dark glasses, and a brown cloak.
"Don't worry Princess Gale, I'll protect you!" Narumi yelled chasing after the princess and the samurai.
The princess turned her horse and went down an alleyway between two houses down a set of stairs.
Two samurai pulled out see through bottles that had a brown liquid inside of it and threw them. The bottles shattered when they hit the ground, causing the liquid to scatter all over the ground. When the horse's hooves touched the liquid it slipped and fell on its side, sending the princess flying off of the horse and onto the ground.
"Get her!" The man with the glasses ordered. The samurai stood up on their horses and then jumped off and flew through the air toward the princess.
The princess turned around and gasped as the samurai flew through the air and then landed on her, and proceeded to dog piled her.
"We finally captured her," the man with the glasses said with a smile. The princess struggled against the men, glaring at them and hit one of the men's helmet and then in a puff of smoke revealed that it was actually Sakura.
"Who are you?" The man said, wondering where the real princess was. After he said that Sasuke appeared behind him, the man feeling that someone was behind him turned around and saw Sasuke, before he could react Sasuke his the back of his neck, making the man pass out and fall off of his horse.
When his body hit the ground, it caused the samurai to turn around and they saw Sasuke on the horse, who glared at them and their boss passed out on the ground.
The samurai stumbled back in fear and then ran away from him toward Sakura. Sakura eye were closed and her arms were crossed as they ran toward her. When she opened them she glared at them and let out a war cry as she attacked them, while Sasuke from behind to restrain them.
It was rather easy for them to restrain them since the samurai were more focused on getting away from them instead of fighting. They had removed all of their helmets and the face plates that they wore, Sasuke was tying up the leader while Sakura was tying up the last of the samurai, but were brought out of their concentration when they heard Kakashi voice.
"Oh dear," Kakashi groaned as he looked at his students tie up the stuntmen and their client with rope.
"Kakashi-Sensei," Sakura said, surprised to see her sensei.
"What are you guys doing," Kakashi said rhetorically, having already gotten the answer from Takashi and the others.
"Killing time," Sasuke answered as he wiped his hands.
Kakashi then quickly moved and appeared behind the man with the glasses, the rope falling off of him and the other men as well onto the ground.
"Geese I'm really sorry about this," Kakashi said as he helped the man with the glasses up. When he stood up the man dusted the dirt off of him as Kakashi rubbed the back of his sheepishly. Both Sasuke and Sakura wondered why Kakashi had untied the men.
"This is the gentleman that hired us for our mission today," Kakashi answered, seeing their confusion as the man turned around to face them.
Narumi
Narumi and the princess were by a large lake and just sat in silence as the horse as the horse drank from the lake.
Narumi seeing that the princess wasn't going to talk made the first move and asked. "Are you okay princess?"
The princess slowly turned to look at her with a bored and uncaring look. Narumi seeing that he got her attention smiled sheepishly and said. "You're the real Princess Gale aren't you? I just saw your movie and I was blown away by it!"
Before she could say anything else the Princess got on her horse and kicked the horse's side, causing it to run forward. Narumi quickly moved to the side, just barely avoiding the horse.
Narumi quickly chased after the horse, pouring chakra into her legs to keep up with it. She was soon right next to the horse and said. "I saw your movie and when I saw you I felt like I had to help you."
The princess then kicked her horse's side again, making the horse run faster. Narumi poured more chakra into her legs to keep until she was close enough and hopped onto the back of the horse.
"Whoa I heard that you were the best actress in Fire Country, but after I saw your movie I now know for a fact that you are the best actress in the nation," Narumi said.
The princess just stared at her for a few moments' not saying anything and looked away from her.
'Would it kill her to say something,' Narumi thought, getting annoyed that she wasn't saying anything.
The princess drove her horse into town, not slowing down at all as she rode past people and stalls. The sleeve of her kimono got stuck on wooden bar, ripping off the sleeve of her kimono.
"Hey slow down would you! You'll hurt someone that the speed we're going!" Narumi yelled.
It was then that a group of kids came out of a house and onto the road, causing Narumi's and the princesses eyes to widen in panic.
"Oh crap!" Narumi cursed. The horse quickly stopped and neighed as it lifted the front of its body up into the air, throwing the two riders off of its body and onto the ground.
The children got out of their stupor and the only girl of the group gasped as she realized who was in front of her. "It's Princess Gale!"
The princess slowly got off of the ground as the children ran toward her and began to surround her.
"Oh wow it really is her," a boy said.
"Princess Gale! Princess Gale!" another boy cried out.
"Look my name isn't really Princess Gale," Yukie said.
'Now she decides to talk!' Narumi thought as she got off of the ground.
That's right, you're the actress Yukie Fujikaze, I'm your biggest fan, the girl then took of her backpack and pulled out a pink book and pen and held it up to her and asked. "Can I have your autograph?"
"Yeah me to," another boy said. the other children then pulled of their bags and pulled out books and pens for her to sign.
"Forget it guys, I don't do autographs," Yukie said sternly, but the kids did not waver and continued to ask for her signature. As they did Narumi just watched with a confused expression, wondering why she didn't sign any of their books yet.
"Enough already! I mean come on! What's so special about getting my autograph huh. You're just going to shove it in some drawer and forget about it. All its good for is collecting dust, their just a waste of time. They're useless, what a joke," Yukie said coldly.
After she said that she then walked past them and soon began running. As she ran Narumi could hear the people around her muttering in disapproval in how she had acted, but she just stood there and watched as Yukie ran.
With the Others
The others were inside a studio along with the director and his assistant and the man that Team Seven had attacked earlier named Sandayu.
"The reason that I called all of you here is because Team Seven was given a mission by the Hokage and I wanted you four to help us out, with his permission he allowed me to bring you guys along. Our mission is to protect the film actress known as Yukie Fujikaze, best known for her role as Princess Gale, and escort her to the land of snow," Kakashi said, looking at his students and the four Kamen Riders.
'What, this wasn't supposed to happen till later in the story line,' the four Kamen Riders thought. The mission to the land of snow was supposed to happen after Team Seven had brought Tsunade back to the village after the Chunin Exams, but they haven't heard anything about them at the moment.
They were thinking about heading to one of the other villages in Fire Country to hunt down several Undead that have been attacking villages in the nation when Kakashi had asked them to come earlier. They didn't see any real harm since, not only would it allow them to get out of the village for awhile and see if they could learn anything new, but also because they could possibly run into a Undead.
"If you're team is to protect a film actress then why are we here?" Takashi questioned, wondering why they were called here.
"I called you four here because if the worst were to happen and we're attacked by ninja then we stand a better chance, especially if … one of them is nearby," Kakashi answered, but the four Kamen Riders knew what he meant by them. He meant if an Undead were to appear during the mission.
"Makes sense," Takashi commented, seeing why he would want them here, the others seeing why as well.
"The next Princess Gale movie is the first one that we are shooting abroad…and I don't need to tell you that our leading lady is a bit of a diva, the director's assistant said. He was a tall man with orange hair and a brown goatee and dark brown eyes. He was wearing a blue cap backwards on his head a purple jacket, and a white shirt.
"Sorry, I do apologize," Sandayu said, bowing slightly.
"Got to admit these Leaf ninja are impressive though. They took care of those stuntmen like it were child's play, can't say anything about the other guys though," the director said, impressed by the ninja's ability.
"Oh thank you," Kakashi said, while the Kamen Riders simply ignored that last bit, they weren't here to impress anyone, they were here because of the chance of a Undead might appear during the mission.
Sakura looked at the board next to them and took a closer look at the pictures. She stopped starring when she saw a picture of three large glaciers.
"Wow look at those glaciers," Sakura muttered.
"That's the rainbow glacier in the Land of Snow," a person said, Sakura turned toward the person and saw that it was one of the actors from the movie.
"Hey you played the part of Burekin," Sakura said.
"That's where we're all going to film the movie's climatic ending," the man next to him said.
"You're Hidero, you play Shishimaru," Sakura said excitedly.
"Well someone's having a fan girl moment," Masamune said, getting a chuckle from everyone, aside from Sasuke who smirked, and causing Sakura to blush in embarrassment.
"The Land of Snow that's a long way to go to shoot some scene for a movie," Sasuke said bluntly.
"Got to agree with duck butt on this," Masamune said, causing Sasuke to glare at him for using the nickname that he hated. Oh how he hated that nickname, when he called him that the first time Narumi fell onto the ground laughing as she held her sides.
"Yukie's manager Sandayu recommended it, apparently this Rainbow Glacier turns seven different colors in the spring time," the assistant said.
"Does that mean its winter all year long?" Sakura questioned.
"Kakashi I hear that this isn't your first time to the Land of Snow, is that true?" The director asked.
"That was a long time ago," Kakashi answered, closing his one eye.
"They say that it is a very poor nation to," another person said, causing Sakura to blush as she recognized the voice. Turning around she saw a man with long brown hair and purple eyes smiling at her.
"You played Sugekuro, Michi you were great!" Sakura said. The others could practically see the hearts in her eyes as she looked at the man.
"You were right she's having a fan girl moment," Katsuie said.
"Told you," Masamune smirked.
"Actually the story is that their former lord had a thing for gadgets, the guy squandered everything that they had on mountains of useless doodads and gizmos," Michi said.
"I just hope that they have heating, I don't' really cut out for the cold," Hidero said.
"That makes two of us," Takashi groaned.
"Then maybe you two should just stay in the Land of Fire then, just like Yukie," the bald actor said good naturally.
"Would if I could, but don't me tempt to leave right now. If I do that then I would have to leave my friends behind to deal with the crap that's coming, and I won't leave my friends behind to deal with it alone," Takashi answered.
"So does that mean that Yukie always acts like that?" Sakura questioned. The four actors were quiet for a moment looking at one another.
"Kind of yeah," the bald actor responded.
"Oh I'm just going to love working with her," Masamune groaned, getting a sympathetic pat on the back from Arashi. He had seen the movie once and he had hated Koyuki in it until she got her attitude adjustment at the end.
"She can be rather… hard to work with at times. Poor Yukie she wouldn't even know the meaning of words like dreams or aspirations," Michi said.
"She's never been one to neglect her work," the director said, getting everyone's attention. "I don't know anything about her personal life and I don't need to. As long as she's giving her all when the cameras rolling I won't have any complaints. Say what you will, but that woman is a born actress."
"He's right, anyway she only started running from the set after we told her that we were heading to the Land of Snow," the director's assistant said, making everyone there aside from Kakashi, Sandayu and the four Kamen Riders why she would run away when she head.
After that Sandayu, and the rest of Team Seven went out in search of Yukie while everyone else would get everything on the boat, since it was supposed to leave tonight.
When Team Severn came back the Kamen Riders saw an unconscious Yukie that was slung over Kakashi's shoulder, like a sack of potatoes as he was lead by Sandayu to where Yukie's room would be.
"I take it she didn't want to come back quietly," Katsuie stated.
"That would be a understatement she didn't want come at all," Sakura said.
It was then that Arashi noticed something about Narumi's eyes, they were still normal cerulean blue eyes that they always were, but her eyes were slightly red. He could see that her blue eyes were slightly red and wondered why.
"Narumi are you okay? Your eyes are red," Arashi questioned.
"I'm fine, it's just that she pepper sprayed me earlier," Narumi admitted. Her eyes still stung a little from the spray.
"Ouch," Arashi winced, feeling sorry for the redhead.
Next Morning
It was late the next morning on the ship. Team Seven and the four Riders were talking to each other for the most part aside from Sasuke and Kakashi, Kakashi because he read his book and Sasuke since he didn't feel like talking.
They were interrupted when they heard a bit of a rustle coming from Yukie's room on the ship and then hear someone running inside the room.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Yukie yelled.
"Nope!" Masamune said with a large grin, popping the 'P'. Koyuki turned toward the source and glared at Masamune, who only smirked at the glare. His mother had given him worse glares and compared to her's Yukie's were nothing.
"Quit glaring at me, shouldn't you be getting ready for your scene," Masamune said, making Yukie glare at him even more. She then turned around sharply and went back into her room, slamming the door behind her. Masamune's grin grew a little wider at the victory. Normally he wasn't that much of ass, but he did consider it a little payback for hurting those kids' feelings before she left.
When she came out she was wearing her Princess Gale costume with a frown on her face as she made her way to the center of the boat to get ready as men on the boat were setting up the set and moving stuff all over the boat, getting ready for the scene that they would be shooting.
"There's no way I can deal with this lady," Narumi said, watching Yukie get make up put on her by several assistants.
You HAVE to deal her Narumi, since you were sworn to protect her," Kakashi said.
"Technically you asked us to tag along, so we're not sworn to protect her," Masamune said, getting looks from everyone.
"Just saying," he muttered, hoping that they would stop staring at him.
"C'mon guys this is an important mission, an A-rank one," Kakashi said, surprising the ninja.
"This is an A-rank mission?" Narumi questioned, wondering if she really heard that right.
"I don't think babysitting a pampered actress would be that difficult," Sasuke said, his eyes not leaving the sea.
"That's not true Sasuke. Big celebrities are targeted all the time and it's hard to predict who's after them so be on your guard," Kakashi said.
"Okay light's are set," one man said.
"We have speech," a man with a microphone said.
"Cameras rolling," the camera man said.
"All right people! I want to get this on the first take!" the director yelled out.
"Okay Scene 23, cut 6. And action!" the assistant said, snapping the board, as the camera began filming the scene. Yukie turned her head causing Narumi, Sakura, and the Riders to stare at her.
"Shishimaru! Stay with me!" Yukie cried, making 'Shishimaru' groan from the sudden voice.
"I'm sorry, I failed you princess. Forgive me, I beg you," 'Shishimaru' said weakly.
"How can you say that, without you by our side we could never had made it this far," Yukie replied.
"I only wish I'd seen beyond the rainbow with you princess," 'Shishimaru' said, his body going lax as he 'died'.
"Shishimaru!" She cried desperately.
"Whoa," Narumi muttered in amazement.
"She's amazing," Sakura said, summing up the Riders thoughts.
"Holy shit," Masamune said, impressed by her acting.
"It's like I'm not looking at the same person anymore," Narumi muttered, getting a nod of agreement from Arashi.
"That's Yukie for you," Sandayu said with a hint of pride and a smile, getting Narumi's attention. "When the camera starts to roll she comes alive. There isn't another actress on earth that can match her brilliance."
Yukie sobbed over 'Shishimaru's' 'dead' body over a couple of times and then stopped as she rose her hand up into the air.
"Hold on a second guys," Yukie said, causing the all of the workers and the director to groan.
"What's wrong!" the director's assistant cried out.
"Sandayu bring my eye drops so I can cry," Yukie said.
"Oh coming, coming," Sandayu replied, pulling out a small bottle as he ran toward her and began pouring a few drops into her eyes.
"Nobody can match her brilliance huh," Takashi said sarcastically.
"Last time I checked actors were supposed to be able to cry on cue," Arashi added dryly.
"Aside from that though, I gotta admit that she's a pretty good actor," Katsuie commented.
"Ready?" the director asked tensely, wanting to get finish the scene already.
"Their spilling over, c'mon let's do this," Yukie said.
"Oh for the love of," the director muttered. "Start with a close up."
"Right," the camera man replied.
"Okay Scene 23, cut 6, take 2. And action!" the assistant said, snapping the board again.
"Shishimaru!" Yukie cried going over the scene again.
Later
It was sunset and Arashi stood at the front of the boat, looking out at the sunset with a serene smile. It was something that he always liked doing even before he came into this dimension. Whenever he could he would always go outside and sit on the bench that was on the back porch of his house and just watch the sunset.
"Arashi," a person behind him said, bringing Arashi out of his musings. Arashi blinked for a moment and turned around and saw Narumi.
"Narumi what are you doing?" Arashi questioned.
"I was about to ask you the same thing," Narumi replied.
"I was just looking out at the sunset. I always did it back home to. It's beautiful isn't it?" Arashi said. He always felt relaxed, calm, and even a little happy when he looked at the sunset.
"Yeah it is beautiful," Narumi replied, agreeing with him. She would often look at the sunset on top of the Hokage Monument, specifically on her dad's head. Whenever she needed a place to think or be alone she would always go there. The view there was amazing, she could see the entire village from there and the view at sunset was beautiful.
"Back home, did you ever have a place to look out at the sunset or to look at the stars?" she questioned.
"For the sunset, no," he replied, smiling a little as he thought about home. "Back home I never really found a good place to look out at the sunset, but I would also look out at the stars. I would go out into my backyard and would just lie down on the grass and just look up at the stars and moon and would just watch them."
Unknown to either of them Masamune was listening in on them and could only sigh at his friend's obliviousness.
'Arashi you idiot, can't tell when a girl likes you that way,' Masamune thought to himself. His friend could be rather thick at times and even though it was clear to him and his friends that Narumi liked Arashi, the guy just couldn't see it. Even back in their world he had been as thick as a brick when it came to girls and how they felt about him.
When Arashi liked a girl he would always get too flustered to answer properly and carry on a conversation and he never really had the guts to ask them out on a date.
He could tell that Narumi had some feelings for his friend, but was afraid of acting on them from what he could gather.
He wondered why though. He could easily tell that she was a brave girl, hell anyone that chose to become a ninja or a soldier of any kind had to be brave.
After a few more moments Masamune stood up and quietly made his way back to the room that he would be staying in along with his friends, deciding to give the two some privacy as they stared at the sunset together.
A Few Days Later
"Mr. Makito! We have a problem," the director's assistant cried out waking everyone on the ship. Inside their room the four Kamen Riders groaned as they slowly opened their eyes.
"That guy better have a good excuse," Katsuie groaned tiredly.
"He better or I'm gonna punch him when I see him," Takashi said, getting a nod of agreement from Masamune.
"You can do what you want to him after we see what the problem is," Arashi said tiredly. He then opened his mouth and let out a yawn as he tiredly got dressed. The others followed his example and began to get dressed as well, after they were dressed they made sure that they had their Category Aces and their Buckles on them just in case.
When they got outside they saw a large glacier in front of them and saw that just like them crew members were staring at it as well.
"Oh yeah, the glacier I forgot about the glacier," Takashi muttered. "Ahh shit, trouble's going to be here soon."
They saw the director looking at the glacier with his assistant next to him. The director hadn't changed and was wearing blue and pink polka dot pajamas with a matching nightcap and a brown jacket.
"What is that," he muttered.
"When I woke up this morning I found this waiting for us. We can't get through, what are we gonna do," the assistant said, panicking slightly.
The director was quiet as he stared at the glacier and then his eyes widened, as if he suddenly had an epiphany.
"This is it!" he suddenly exclaimed, taking everyone by surprise. "We're changing everything!"
The assistant stumbled back and stared at his boss awkwardly.
"You moron!" The director yelled at his assistant. "Look we're standing on the perfect spot to shoot! It's practically begging us to film here!"
He then turned around and balled his hand. "Cherish this moment the movie gods are smiling down on us! Everyone prepare to embark!"
"I'm just going to come straight out and say it," Katsuie said tiredly, he then let out a yawn and said. "He loves his job a little too much."
"Got that right," Takashi agreed, getting nods of agreements from Masamune and Arashi.
Later
A little while later workers had unloaded onto the glacier all of the supplies that they would need along with some heaters for the workers, when they saw Team Seven that saw that Sakura and Sasuke looked slightly tired, while Narumi and Koyuki looked like they would pass out any minute.
When they were finished setting up they had the old man that played the villain go on top of a hill for the scene along with several other actors to set up any special affects that that needed to place.
When they were finished the actors got into places and were ready to begin the next scene.
"Alright people we're gonna role, ready and action!" the assistant said, snapping the board.
"Hahaha, so princess you've arrived," the old man said arrogantly.
"It's you Marou," 'Princess Gale' said, pulling out her sword.
"Please Princess stay back," 'Sugekuro' said, reaching for his sword.
"We'll take care of him for you," 'Burekin' said, ready to attack him.
"Did you honestly believe that these meager fools would be a match for me princess!" Marou said, but before he could say anything a loud explosion happened. 'Marou' turned around and looked at where the explosion happened and said. "Is this in the scene?"
In front of 'Princess Gale' and her warriors' was Kakashi, who had thrown a kunai that had a explosive tag tied to it.
"Hey what do you think you're doing!" the assistant complained.
"Everyone get back!" Kakashi commanded.
When the smoke and dust cleared a man threw off a light blue blanket that was the same color as the ice.
The man wore a light blue jumpsuit with a dark blue sweater and fishnet underneath and wore an armored gauntlet on his right arm and shoulder guard on his right shoulder. He had purple hair and teal eyes that had purple markings underneath them. His eyebrows were higher than the average person's eyebrows and were like thick dots. He wore a metal forehead protector that covered the sides of his face and his forehead and had four dots near the center of it.
"Welcome to the land of snow," the man said with a smile.
"You," Kakashi said, recognizing him.
Kakashi turned his head to the left, making everyone else turn and saw a woman standing on a large narrow pillar of ice.
The woman wore a metal brace on her right hand and wore outfit that was similar to the man's, with a sweater, fish net, and a qipao dress that was the same colors as his jumpsuit, except she wore a helmet that had the same symbol as the man's on it and had a opening on the sides allowing her hair to come out.
"Greetings, Princess Koyuki. I do hope that you are still carrying the Hex Crystal," the woman said, looking straight at 'Yukie'.
Kakashi's eye widened when he heard that and looked at 'Yukie' and said. "Princess Koyuki?"
Kakashi then turned to his right and saw a large man come out of the snow. He had short cropped purple hair and had dark eyes. Just like the first man he wore a jumpsuit that was the same color as the others and he wore a metal head protector, however unlike the other two he wore a large metallic gauntlet on his left arm and had large curved shoulder guards and a red and purple board on his back.
"You're as good as they say Kakashi, but unfortunately it's not good enough," the large man said.
It was then that Arashi's mind was assaulted by images. They no longer hurt him as much as they did before when he first started to sense Undead, but now it hardly even bothered him, it was now like it was just a touch instead of someone hitting him. This time he saw a large figure with white fur wearing large iron armor on his body.
He ran out to stand next to Kakashi, being followed by the other Kamen Riders.
"Kakashi, things just got worse," Arashi said as the Joker Belt appeared around his waist.
"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked, having a feeling that he already knew what it was.
Before Arashi could answer a large shattering of ice caught their attention and a bestial roar that was soon followed by several people screaming at the sight of the monster.
They turned toward the source and saw a wet large muscular Undead. The Undead wore bulky grey metal armor on its body and had snow white fur. It wore a black metal mask that covered the top of its face and had a large white snout with a black nose and large white teeth. Its arms were large and were covered by thick white fur that was matted down due to the water and had metallic bands on its wrists and had sharp black claws. Around its neck was a metallic band similar to the one on its wrists and had large shoulder armor with fur on it. The Undead wore metallic greaves and metallic bands on its ankles as well. This was the Category Six of Clubs, the Polar Bear Undead.
The Polar Bear Undead roared again as it ran at the film crew and intended to killed the crew members.
"Narumi, Sasuke, Sakura protect Yukie. You four deal with that Undead. Everyone else get back to the ship now!" Kakashi commanded.
"Fubuki, Mizore I leave you deal with the princess," the leader commanded, jumping from his spot on the mountain to fight Kakashi.
"Very well then," Fubuki groaned. She then jumped off of her pillar of ice and made her way to Yukie.
Kakashi quickly ran forward and charged toward the enemy leader, pouring chakra into his legs so that he could jump from ledge to ledge on the cliff, while Sasuke and Narumi ran toward Fubuki and Mizore while Sakura stayed in front the actors to protect them in case one of them got passed the others.
When he stood in front of the leader, the man smiled and said. "It's been a long time Kakashi, you better not be thinking of running again like the last time."
"Nadare Roga," Kakashi said, starring at the man that he fought once long ago. In one quick movement the both jumped at each other and attacked one another, Nadare punching, only for Kakashi to block the blow, and Kakashi to try and punch him only for him to block it as well. The two jumped from one pillar of ice to another and attacked one another, jumping from ne pillar of ice to another.
"Ice Style: Tsubame Blizzard!" Fubuki yelled, swinging her arm at Sasuke. After she did small spikes of ice that resembled swallows flew at Sasuke. Sasuke quickly moved to the side, causing them to miss, only for them to turn around and fly at him again.
Sasuke realized that dodging wouldn't be enough, and quickly went through several hand signs and when he was finished he cried. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
He quickly took a deep breath and when he exhaled he unleashed a large torrent of fire that easily melted the ice swallows into water.
As they ran toward the fighting the Kamen Riders quickly pulled out their respective Buckles and slipped the Aces into them and placed them in front of their waists, sending out a belt that tightened themselves around their waists, while Arashi pulled out the Ace of Hearts. After their belts were around their waists they cried in unison. "Henshin!"
"Turn Up!"
"Change!"
"Open Up!"
The belts announced, sending out their respective fields as Arashi swiped the Ace of Hearst through his belt buckle, changing his body changed into Chalice's. Katsuie waited as the field got closer to him and when it passed through him and changed him into Leangle.
It was then that a roar got their attention and they saw the Undead running toward the crew members. Sasuke was the first to react and quickly ran toward the Undead, ignoring his current opponent, who smirked at his action.
"What the hell is he doing," Leangle muttered.
"It looks like he's about to challenge a Undead," Garren said.
"It doesn't matter what he's doing now Garren deal with Fubuki, I'll help Narumi deal with this guy," Chalice said.
"Got it," Garren replied, running toward Fubuki with his Rouzer drawn.
"We'll handle the Undead then, and tell that idiot" Blade said, drawing his Rouzer.
"Yeah, well deal with it," Leangle said, his grip tightening on his Rouzer.
As Fubuki moved toward the group she smirked as she pulled out a kunai and before she could throw it she heard a loud bang and then felt like someone had punched her in the shoulder. She stumbled onto the ground hand wondered what the hell happened. Her chakra armor should've protected her from any ranged attacks that they threw at her, and it made any Ninjutsu or Genjutsu that they could use against them useless.
She looked down at her shoulder and was surprised to see a small hole in her clothing and knew that something had broken through her chakra armor's barrier. If it wasn't for her barrier and the mesh armor that she wore underneath then there was no doubt in her mind that she would've lost her arm because of it.
"You ain't getting pass me," Garren stated, causing Fubuki to glare at the red Rider as he prepared himself for a fight.
As Sasuke ran toward the Undead he wasted no time and attacked it, not only to stop it before it could kill any of the workers, but also to test himself and see where he stood against such a creature. He quickly pulled out several kunai and shuriken and threw them at the Undead, the weapons bounced off of the Undead's armor, and catching the Undead's attention in the process. The Undead turned toward Sasuke and charged at him intending to fight its challenger.
Sasuke's hands quickly went through several hand signs and when he was finished he cried. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
After he took a breath he sent out a large fireball at the Undead. As the Undead ran toward the fireball he roared again, but this time a blizzard of ice came out of its mouth. The fire hit the ice and was soon extinguished as the blizzard rushed past it and hit Sasuke. Sasuke tensed in pain as the cold hit him, and before he could react he was grabbed by the large Undead, intending to snap his neck, but before it could he was saved by Blade and Leangle.
"Sasuke you idiot deal with the snow shinobi, we got this," Blade said. Sasuke glared at Blade's back angrily. He wanted to fight that thing and he wanted to make them pay for interfering in his fight with the Undead, but then scoffed as he reluctantly moved to help Garren fight the female snow shinobi.
Blade rushed toward the Undead while Leangle attacked ran to it as well. Blade swung his sword at the Undead and the Undead blocked it with its claws while Leangle swung his staff and hit the other side of it.
The Undead quickly spun around and grabbed Leangle's Rouzer with its arm and then hit Leangle with its other arm, making him let go of his Rouzer.
It then turned round and swung the Rouzer at Blade knocking him back and dropping his sword next to him.
Blade quickly recovered and grabbed his Rouzer off of the ground and held it in a reverse grip and then fanned out the panels on his sword and pulled out the only other Rouze Card that he had and swiped it through the side of his Rouzer.
"Slash!" the Blay Rouzer announced as an energy version of the card appeared in front of him and was absorbed into his armor. Blade's sword began to glow as energy began to course through the sword. He then ran at the Undead swiped it across the Undead's chest, making it scream out in pain, as it stumbled from the blow and drop the Rouzer onto the ground.
Blade quickly turned around and flipped his sword around and held it in a guard position as he prepared himself for what it might do next. As Leangle rushed toward it and punched its head, hitting the right side of its face and then the left. The Undead was knocked off balance from the attack and then ducked as Leangle threw another punch, and then swung its claws, knocking him away as he stumbled from the blow, but managed to recover.
Blade rushed forward and swung his sword at the Undead, hitting it armor. The Undead returned the blow and swung his free arm at him and then punched Blade and then attack him with his claws, causing sparks to appear.
Blade was knocked onto the ground from the blow as Leangle ran up behind it and throw another punch at the Undead and again. He then ducked as it swung its arm and then rolled to the side, he then noticed that he rolled right next to his Rouzer and picked it up as the Undead ran toward. Leangle quickly picked up his Rouzer and swung it into its side, making it stumble from the blow and then hit it again, causing it stumble back from the blow as Blade ran up next to him, ready to help him.
Garren aimed his at her and she quickly jumped out of the way, causing Garren to miss when he pulled the trigger. When she landed she placed her hand, just as Garren aimed at her and pulled the trigger on his Rouzer.
"Ice Prison!" she yelled. A pillar of ice appeared in front of her and blocked the bullet and was followed by another pillar of ice and another, more appeared as the pillars of ice got closer to Garren.
Garren quickly had to step back and run, lest he be caught in the ice. She smirked as she watched Garren run from the ice and just out of the corner of her she saw someone running toward her.
She turned her head and saw Sasuke with his hands in hand seal and let loose a large breathe of fire. She quickly made a pillar of ice appear next to her, protecting her from the flames.
Koyuki stared at the flames as memories passed quickly went through her head. She fell onto her knees as Sandayu quickly rushed toward her and cried. "Princess!"
Narumi heard Sandayu and turned to see what was wrong. Mizore rushed toward Narumi and when she looked back she jumped away just in time to avoid his armored fist, when his fist collided with the ice where she stood, the ice shattered like glass and shards of it flew all over the area and continued his assault, with Narumi just barely managing to dodge his attacks.
Chalice seeing that she was having trouble jumped into the air and kicked him away from her.
"You alright?" Chalice asked.
"Been better," Narumi replied.
Chalice ran toward him summoned the Chalice Arrow and when he was close enough lunged at him. Mizore quickly raised his armored arm to block the attack, causing a large cut to appear where the Chalice Arrow had landed.
'What the hell, how the hell did he manage to cut my armor so easily,' Mizore thought, wondering what type of metal his weapon was made out of to be able to easily cut his armor.
Mizore backed away and Chalice raised his weapon and fired several energy bolts at him. The bolts collided with the chakra armor's barrier and easily broke through it. Mizore held his shoulder where the blast had connected and when he moved his hand away he was surprised to see a small hole and a small trail of blood coming from where the bolt had hit him.
He then growled as he ran at Chalice, indenting to return the favor from the attack.
The gauntlet on his arm let out a burst of steam and before Chalice could react the gauntlet collided with Chalice's chest sending him flying and back first onto the ground and skid across the ice and crash into a large mound of ice.
Mizore pulled out his snowboard and quickly hopped on it and made his way to Chalice, intending to take him out before he could recover. Before he could get to Chalice Narumi jumped toward him and rammed into him with her shoulder and knocked him off of his snowboard.
"You bitch!" he exclaimed angrily and threw his to punch her. Narumi channeled chakra into her arms and grabbed his armored arm, he then threw his other arm and she grabbed it as well, causing the two to go into a grappling match. Narumi was grateful that her godmother Tsunade had taught her how to channel chakra into her arm's to increase her strength, while certainly no on par with Tsunade's since she lacked the control she was certainly stronger in the physical sense, because of it.
Mizore glared at her as she slowly lifted her head and glared at him, when Mizore saw her eyes he couldn't help, but feel unnerved by them. Narumi's eyes were red and were slitted like a fox's and her k-nines were longer, almost like an animal's, giving her an almost feral appearance.
'What the hell is this chakra?' Mizore thought, feeling a little afraid because of the feeling it gave off.
Chalice watched from where he was as his free hand slowly balled into a fist as his grip on the Chalice Arrow tightened. He was grateful for her assistance, but something was wrong, in the back of his mind he could just barely feel it, he could just barely hear it, it was as if a part of him was whispering to him to attack…Narumi.
In Chalice's Mind
Inside his mind Hajime and the original Chalice looked at the brazier and saw that the flames had grown ever so slightly and that there was just a slight blue tint to it.
"That chakra," Chalice stated, looking at the flames. The chakra that Narumi was letting out was unlike any of the other humans aside from her mother, but her's was much more potent then her mother's and much more power. It was telling him to fight her, and if he wasn't a powerful Undead, then he would no doubt give in to his instincts and attack her.
"Its instigating HIM and making him form at a faster rate," Hajime stated as he stared at the flames.
Outside Chalice's Mind
It wasn't just Chalice that took notice of the chakra that Narumi was emitting, but also the Polar Bear Undead.
The Undead turned toward the source and let out a roar as it charged at it. Blade jumped in the way and attacked it with his Rouzer, but the Undead blocked the sword with its armor on its arm, causing sparks to fly. It then let out a large blizzard of ice at Blade, causing him to yell out in pain to the sudden sub-zero temperatures and stumble from the blow. The Undead then charged forward and knocked him onto the ground as it charged at Narumi.
Chalice realizing that it was charging at Narumi quickly grabbed his belt buckle and attached it to his weapon, turning it into the Chalice Rouzer. He then pulled out the Three of Hearts and swiped it through the Rouzer.
"Chop!" the Rouzer announced as the power from the card was absorbed into his armor and made his way to his arm.
As the power gathered in his arm he ran toward the Undead and swung his arm knocking it to the side.
Leangle seeing an opportunity quickly pulled out his only other Rouze Card and swiped it through his Rouzer.
"Screw!" the Rouzer announced as the club on the staff began to spin. Leangle rushed forward and let out a yell as he stabbed the bladed club into an opening between its armor. The Undead roared in pain from the blow as it fell onto the ground from the blow.
The Undead's belt snapped open up and revealed the runes inside of it. Leangle pulled out a Proper Blank from his card holder and threw it onto the Undead's body. When the card landed on its body the card glowed as it began to absorb the Undead into it. When it was finished the card flew back into Leangle's waiting hand and when it did he began to look at the card.
The card had a picture of a polar bear wearing parts of armor around its body and was standing on its hind legs as it looked to be roaring at something. The card now had a yellow club and a six underneath it and also said 'Blizzard' on the side of it.
Sasuke and Garren were having a hard time dealing with Fubuki, the two of them were forced to keep moving and running around because of her Ice Prison technique.
As the two ran from another ice pillar, Sasuke's foot was caught in the ice, and was soon completely covered in ice. It was then Sasuke slowly dissipated to reveal that it was actually one of the heaters with an explosive tag attached to it.
The tag exploded, destroying the ice as a large ball of fire made its way toward Fubuki. Two iron cables that were attached to kunai appeared through the fire and swung around and tied her to the ice pillar in front of her.
As the fire made its way toward the wings on her pack expanded, cutting the wire and revealing a pair of metallic wings that resembled a bat's.
Garren pointed his gun at her and pulled the trigger on his Rouzer repeatedly intending to shoot her down, forcing her to move around in the air to avoid the bullets.
Leangle looked at the Rouze Card in his hand and placed it inside his card holder for safe keeping.
"I'll protect Koyuki you help Narumi deal with Mizore," Leangle said.
"Alright," Chalice said, nodding in agreement, the two then ran off toward Koyuki to protect her and deal with Mizore.
Sakura looked at Yukie and saw that she was still on her knees trembling.
"Yukie get to the ship!" Sakura ordered.
Yukie just stayed where she was as her body trembled the entire outside world was forgotten as memories that were buried away many years ago and had haunted her dreams returned to the surface in full force.
"What the hell are you doing! Het out of here!" Narumi yelled, still holding the large ice ninja back.
"Princess please we have to get to the ship! We have to go now your life is-" Sandayu pleaded.
"I don't care if I die! I won't go back to the Land of Snow!" Koyuki yelled grabbing her head and shaking it.
"We don't have time for this!" Narumi yelled, getting aggravated with her. Narumi then poured a little more chakra into her arms and flung Mizore to the side.
Mizore recovered when he landed and pointed his gauntlet at her. The hand of his gauntlet then flew toward Koyuki and revealed that it was a fake attached to a metal chain.
Sakura quickly jumped in the way and was grabbed by the metallic hand, he then pulled back, causing Sakura to fly into the airs and then quickly pulled down on the cord as hard as he could, knocking her out when she hit the ground.
"Sakura!" Narumi yelled, worried over her teammate, even though she didn't really like her she still didn't want her teammate to die.
As Koyuki watched the fighting the memories came back stronger than ever and she couldn't take them anymore and passed out onto the ground,
"Princess!" Sandayu exclaimed, quickly checking her pulse and was relieved to find out that she had only passed out. Leangle came up next to him and stood in front of her and looked at Mizore, who was charging toward them.
Before Mizore could get to them Chalice appeared
"Ice Style: White Whale Jutsu!" Nadare yelled as his hands went through several hand signs. As Kakashi ran toward Koyuki a large white whale made of ice with a large narwhal horn burst through the ice, forcing Kakashi to jump back.
The whale flew through the air and when it landed it caused a portion of the glacier to break away from the rest of it.
When Kakashi he landed turned toward Nadare and revealed that he had lifted his headband, revealing his sharingan eye.
"Okay that was impressive now it's my turn," Kakashi said.
"Narumi make sure that everyone gets out of here," Kakashi ordered, as his hands went through several hand signs, Narumi nodded her head as she made several Shadow Clones and had them grab, Sandayu, Sakura, and Koyuki.
"Ice Style: White Whale Jutsu!" Kakashi yelled, finishing the hand signs. A large whale made of ice appeared behind Kakashi
"Still copying my moves, you aren't going to win by doing that," Nadare said, finishing his own hand sings as another whale made of ice appeared behind him.
"Finish the fight that wasn't my intention as the moment," Kakashi refuted, causing Nadare's eyes to widen as the two whales collided with one another and the two to crash into the ice and break the glacier, as Narumi her clones, Sasuke, and the four Kamen riders went to the ship, providing them all the perfect opportunity to escape.
When the mist from the ice cleared Nadare, Mizore, and Fubuki regrouped on a block of ice as they stared at the ship, catching it now would be impossible, but they would get another chance soon enough to finish them once and for all.
On the Ship
When they got there the four Kamen Riders immediately found a place to sit and relax, no matter how much they practiced in their armor it was always hard to keep pumping into their chakra while they were in their armored forms, no doubt because of their merging Undead.
"Did we get all of that?" the director asked, hoping that they did.
"Yes sir, we got it all from the very beginning sir," his assistant replied with a large grin.
"Excellent with footage like that, we're bound to be a blockbuster hit! The director exclaimed happily.
The ninja and the four Riders could only gape at the directors and his workers dedication, despite being in a life or death situation they kept recording and got the entire fight on film.
Chalice was the first to recover and pulled out the Category Two of Hearts and swiped it through his belt.
"Spirit!"
The belt announced as Arashi reverted back to normal, after he did he sat down on the deck and leaned against the railing of the ship.
His thoughts going to what had happened earlier when Narumi had no doubt used the Kyuubi's chakra and what it made him want to do, made him even think of doing. He didn't want to do what that thought had whispered him to do at all and wanted to know why that thought even came to him in the first place.
The other Riders followed his example and pulled out their respective Aces as their fields appeared in front of them and removed their armor from their bodies.
Takashi had a couple of bruises while Katsuie had a couple of scratches and bruises and Masamune was in a similar state except his teeth were chattering a little as he shook a little, still feeling the cold from when the Polar Undead had sent a blizzard his way.
"Get me some blankets, or something," Masamune asked. Some of the workers quickly grabbed several clocks and gave them to him. Masamune quickly placed them over his body and used them like blankets.
Sandayu led Narumi's shadow clone to Koyuki's room and placed her unconscious body on the bed, and was followed by Kakashi.
Tomorrow
It was tomorrow morning when they docked again, before they had docked Sakura had woken up and used her medical jutsu to patch everyone up from the fight yesterday. Masamune had apparently gotten a cold because of the Polar Bear Undead and kept a cloak over his body to keep himself warm along with Takashi, simply because he hated the cold.
The crew workers were in the middle of unloading all of their cargo off of the ship as Kakashi gathered his team, the four Kamen Riders, and the director and his assistant along with Sandayu in the cabin of the ship to talk.
"You've known all along Sandayu, haven't you," Kakashi stated, already knowing the answer.
"Yes," Sandayu answered after a moment of hesitation.
"Didn't you ever consider the risks of what might happen if she ever came back to the Land of Snow?" Kakashi questioned, already ha.
"Your right of course, but this was the only way that I could think of to get the Princess to return home," Sandayu explained.
"Sandayu why do you keep calling her a Princess?" Narumi questioned, wondering why he kept calling her that even though it was just a name for a role that she played.
"It's because Yukie Fujikaze isn't her real name, it's an alias that she uses to prevent people from finding her. Her real name is Koyuki Kazahana, the rightful heir to the Land of Snow's throne," Kakashi explained, making Narumi and Sakura gape in surprise.
"I first met Koyuki a long time ago, I was her aid when she was a little girl. I don't blame for not remembering me, it was a long time ago," Sandayu said.
"So you're also from the Land of Snow Sandayu," Sakura said.
"That's right I served the Princess's father. The former leader of the clan, Lord Sosetzu Kazahana," Sandayu explained remembering what the Land of Snow was like when he was younger, back when it was a happy place for all. "The Land of Snow was not a large nation, it served as a haven of peace. Lord Sosetzu absolutely adored the Princess, those were idyllic times, but thirteen years ago on that accursed day. Lord Sosetzu's younger brother Doto hired Snow ninja and instigated a revolt, a coup d'état."
The others listened to his story and they could hear the hatred in his voice, the anger of what had happened that day and what Doto had done.
"The magnificent Kazahana Castle burned to the ground, and I feared the Princess had perished as well," Sandayu said sadly.
"There was no way we could defeat them, we had to keep running, we had to get away," Kakashi said, as memories of his time in the Land of snow came back to him.
The day I discovered that our beloved Princess was still alive, I was practically beside myself with joy. She was alive after all those years," Sandayu said, crying near the end.
"I should've died that day," a familiar voice said, catching everyone's attention as they turned toward the doorway and saw Koyuki leaning against the door, a apathetic look on her face as she looked at the people in the room.
Narumi glared at her along with Masamune and Arashi, while the others simply stared at her.
"You mustn't say such things Princess, we feared the worse, you can' imaging how frantic we all were, we never stopped praying for your life."
"I'm alive, but my heart is dead," Koyuki replied. "After that day any tears that I had left dried up.
"And that's how I became the manager for Yukie Fujikaze. I bided my time waiting for the time that I could escort her back to the Land of Snow."
"Are you saying that all of this time you've been using us," The Director's assistant said.
"I apologize for deceiving you, but it was for the sake of Land of Snow's people," Sandayu said. He got out of his chair and walked toward Koyuki and got on his hands and knees and pleaded. "Princess Koyuki! Confront Doto and take your rightful place as the leader of our land! I will sacrifice my life without hesitation to protect you. I beg you! Take up arms and lead you people!"
Koyuki just stared at Sandayu as he pleaded with her, her face never changing in the slightest as he pleaded for her to fight against Doto, and go back to the place that had spawned so many terrible nightmares that had haunted her since she was a little girl.
"I don't think so, you have got to be kidding," Koyuki scoffed.
"But what about your people!"
"I could care less about them, just forget it."
"But Princess," Sandayu said, his heart breaking at her words.
"Will you give it up already it doesn't matter what you do! You will never get rid of Doto okay," Koyuki said, making Sandayu drop his head in sadness.
"So he should just give up! Sandayu has given everything that he could for the realization of his dream and you mock him for it and insult him because of it. If you keep insulting him then you'll have to deal with me!" Narumi exclaimed glaring at Koyuki angrily.
"A man back where we came from said that all it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to standby and do nothing. I can't say I'm a good man, but I won't standby and do nothing while innocent people are dying when I can help them. " Arashi stated, as he balled his hand into a fist and glared at Koyuki. "Who gave you right to decide if people's dreams are worth chasing?"
"You know some people back in the Land of Waves said the exact same thing with Gato and look at what happened to him and the Land of Waves. The people their chose to follow their dreams and they were able to beat Gato and free their country, because some of them didn't choose to let Gato do whatever he wanted, they chose to fight back and they won!" Masamune exclaimed.
"Narumi, Masamune, Arashi," Sandayu said, surprised that they were defending him.
"As long as there is hope one may dream, and with dreams the future comes," the director said, getting everyone's attention. "I like it, it's the perfect theme for our new Princess Gale movie."
"Mr. Makito, you aren't really going to continue filming after everything that has happened are you?" his assistant questioned.
"I told you the movie is evolving. Just think about it, how often do you get to make a movie with a reel Princess, we're looking at the chance of a life time here," he replied smiling.
"You're right, think of the buzz even the making of we'll be a hit, we're sitting on a sure fire blockbuster!" He proclaimed.
"We were talking about a life or death situation a minute ago and now they are going on about it being a great movie, are these guys alright in the head," Katsuie whispered to Takashi who only shrugged in reply.
"Unfortunately there's only one course of action. Now that Doto's on our trail running isn't a option, we have to fight. It's our only chance of getting through this," Kakashi said gravely.
"Then if Doto shows up and those Snow Ninja from before appear we'll beat them to and protect everyone that we can," Takashi said.
"Stop joking around! There is no such thing as a happy ending in this world!" Koyuki yelled.
"Of course there is if you're willing to fight for it!" Makito yelled, surprising Koyuki and making the Riders smile.
"Then we best keep our guard up in case Doto and any of his men appear," Kakashi said.
"Whatever he sends it's nothing that we can't handle," Sasuke said.
"Thank you all," Sandayu said gratefully as tears began to weld up in his eyes.
So it's decided then we're going ahead with this picture," Makito proclaimed.
"And this one will have a happy ending," his assistant finished.
"Well then I guess it's safe to say the war for the Land of Snow has begun," Katsuie said rhetorically.
"It has and until the land of Snow is free, we won't give against Doto and whatever else he sends our way," Takashi said, getting nods of agreement from the others aside from Sasuke and Koyuki.
In Konoha
In Konoha a man was walking down the road inside the city. He was wearing a light purple suit with a blue and red striped formal shirt underneath and a yellow tie. He had multiple piercings in his ear and had a ring on his finger and a eagle bracelet. He also wore a pair of thin wire rimmed glasses. This was the Category Jack of Spades, the Eagle Undead.
He was surprised to say the least when he heard about the humans here and what the ninja could do. He had watched several of the ninja could do and he found himself mildly impressed by chakra and what it could do, but that wasn't the reason why he was in Konoha.
He would've completely avoided this place if he hadn't heard one of the local human residents say what had happened recently and how four warriors that had appeared out of nowhere and had sealed the Armadillo Undead. When he heard how the Undead was sealed he quickly listened to what they were saying and how they did it and described him and it took all of his willpower not to gasp when he heard them describe the one that was themed after a Mantis.
The Kamen Riders were here in Konoha and so was Chalice.
He still remembered how Blade had defeated him and sealed him after he had taken Chalice who was sealed at that time and was used by the Joker Undead, going by Hajime Aikawa.
He didn't know if chalice was free or not, but he needed to know if he was. They had sworn long ago back during the first Battle Royale that they would fight together until they were the last two Undead standing in the Battle Royale and he was hoping that Chalice wasn't sealed.
He wouldn't need to find them, they would reveal themselves in time and when a Undead attacked the people here the Kamen Riders would appear and so would Chalice, and when they did he would see if Chalice was free or being used again like when he was sealed by the Joker.
So what do you think i wanted to get the entire Land of Snow out of the way, but i saw the word count and was like alright this is good enough.
This didn't stray to far from the movie in my opinion, but you'll see that there is another reason why aside from Undead fights and to hold off the Chunin exams next chapter.
Look people PLEASE PLEASE DON'T get on my about not updating in awhile, i was bust alright i had testing and final exams.
Also i made my decision about the movie Riders Glaive, Lance, and L'arc. They will appear in the story, but not till later.
Now please leave a review and let me know what you think.
