A woman who looked to be about seventeen years old stood by a lake, near a small noisy house. She had spiky cyan hair, with piercing gold eyes. She wore her simple outfit, but it was now in the colors of purple and black. The woman smiled a she felt the wind pass through her long hair. How she loved being outside, when it was windy, not cold, but windy. But her smile then turned into a frown, as she knew what was to come soon, and she knew that, she's been to lazy for the past five thousand years. She raised her hand in front of her, and a black ball of energy formed in it, she then gripped it, and daito with a black blade, with the hand guard in the shaped like the Saturn planetary symbol.
The woman took a minute to admire her sword, and traced her finger along the fine smooth surface of it. She smiled in satisfaction, and turns to a tree that's a few feet away from her. She kicks it without much strength, since she doesn't want it flying, and watched as over five hundred leaves falls from it. To her, it was as if they were falling in slow motion, she sets herself in a loose stance, and take in slow, calming breaths. Just as the first leaf falls pass her head, she disappears in a flash, and a second later reappears. She opens her eyes to see almost all of the leaves fall to pieces, except for twenty stray leaves that fall to the ground, and one leaf that lands softly on her nose. She sneezes, and it blows away in the wind.
"When you leaving, Little Ryoko?" Ryoko turns around to see her mother Washu smiling at her with an almost sad grin on her face.
"I'll say in about four years," Ryoko replied with a careless shrug of her shoulders. "Ah, I'm so rusty, my sword must hate me for not using her for so long," she said with a heavy frown as she strapped her sword to her waist, where a pitch black sheath with a purple glow had appeared moments before.
"I bet you she does," Washu laughed with a grin on her face, which made Ryoko a little nervous. "When do I get to see my grandchildren?" she whined while trying to tickle Ryoko.
"Grandchildren? What the hell are you talking about?" she asked while phasing up into a tree, and looking at the setting sun.
"Technically, I am your mother, so the children, who were born from you, in their past life, will still be my grandchildren," she explained, while dipping her feet in the water.
"So, you want to meet the family huh?" Ryoko asked with a small smile, phasing back down to the ground. "My daughters should be training, but I can bring my sister here, for you to meet, Washu,"
"I would love to meet her, maybe she can even join our dysfunctional family for dinner tonight," she states more than asks, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Luckily for her, Ryoko had her back turned so she couldn't see it.
"I'll bring her over for dinner, just make sure you tell Sasami, that I'll be back by that time. Don't want the kid worryin 'bout me," she glares at the pink haired woman to get her point across. Washu just smiles, her eyes closed, and nods her head, satisfying the demon woman. Ryoko then walked towards the pond, snapped her fingers, and a purple portal appeared. She stepped through without looking back, and sent one last thought to her mother, before she passed all the way through.
"I'll be back as soon as possible...mom,"
"I'll hold you to that...Little Ryoko,"
Inuyasha Universe
"Now, where is that little trouble making girl?" Ryoko wondered as she phased to the top of a nearby tree. Closing her eyes, she searches for her sister's presence. She felt two large energy sources that matched hers, four smaller ones near the two larger ones, and two smaller ones closing in on the two larger ones, another larger energy source farther away from them, with one smaller one near the large one. "What the hell is going on.?" she almost shouts, and made her way to where she felt the two large sources coming from. It took her an hour to reach her destination, and she saw a sight that shocked her. There were two versions of her sister, glaring at each other, both with a bow and arrow aimed at each others heart. To the side was a hanyo with white hair, with dog ears on his head fighting off a group of demons, with a taija, a monk, and a two tailed fire cat. To the side was a wolf demon fighting with a demon woman with a fan. Having enough of this, Ryoko phases in between both of her sisters. All the fighting stopped to stare at her, and Ryoko drew her blade.
"What the hell is going on Kiyone?" Ryoko snarls to both Kagome, and Kikiyo. They both had shocked expressions on their faces, then as one, they both dropped to one knee, and bowed.
"Ryoko-sama," Kikiyo sounded softly.
"Nee-sama," Kagome said, a little fear present in her voice.
"I asked you a question," her anger rising to new levels, and a purple demonic aura surrounded her. "Why in the nine hells is your soul separated in ten different pieces," she then shot a glare at Koga, who was watching fearfully as her eyes began to turn red, with anger.
"The Shikon Jewel, or Saturn's Gem, that was merged with my body, was broken into over a thousand pieces. Sometime later, a demon witch summon my past life from the dead, and took part of my soul to allow her to live. Now a demon named Naraku has a large piece of the jewel, Koga has two pieces, Sango-chan's little brother has one that allows him to live, and I have four shards," Kagome explained, a nervous sweat running down her face. They watched as Ryoko visibly calmed down, she then turns to Kikiyo frowning.
"And why haven't you reemerged with your original body. I can tell you've been roaming around for quite sometime, and managed to gain your own life, and thanks to that, you will have three split personalities, instead of just two," Ryoko rubs her head as she said this.
"What are you talking about Wench?" Inuyasha snarls pointing his Tessaiga at Ryoko. He soon regretted that, as he saw Ryoko glare at him, her hair starting to stand up on ends.
"What your mouth child, or I'll kill you," she states calmly, a black aura surrounding her. Ryoko then turns to the nervous looking Koga. "Child, give me the shards in your legs," Koga snarls angrily at her, and was about to attack, but stops himself, feeling fear take over his body. "I said, give me the shards in your legs now," Koga saw a purple haired woman with purple eyes glaring down at him, pure malice, burning in her eyes. Her eyes showed someone, who wasn't afraid to kill, if you crossed her. He knew better than try to fight the demon in front of him, so he conceded, and grabbed the two shards from his legs, and tossed them to Ryoko, who caught them, and handed them to Kagome. Kagome then absorbs the shards into her body, a black, purple, and pink aura surrounds her momentarily, once the absorption was complete.
Ryoko, then turns to Kagura, who watching her in fear, she saw a bee buzzing in the demon woman's ear.
"I can't attack her," she said quietly, but that is when she collapses to the ground clutching the area where her heart would be, screaming in agony. "STOP NARAKU, I CAN'T ATTACK. SPARE ME PLEASE," she shouts, but her screaming then came to a sudden stop, before she hunched over dead. Ryoko then got an idea, and smiled a feral smile. Drawing her sword, Ryoko walks over to the dead demon. Piercing her sword into the area, where Kagura's heart would be, she starts speaking.
"Do you wish to live?" she asks quietly and low, but the others still heard her.
"I wish to live," Kagura replies softly in limbo.
"Do you want your revenge?"
"I want my revenge," she answers again, but with a strong sense of malice to her voice.
"To acquire these things, will you serve the people of Saturn for the rest of your life?"
"I will,"
"Do you swear loyalty to the people of Saturn,"
"I do," a strong purple aura slowly surrounds them both. Storm clouds appeared in the area, and purple lightning lit up the sky.
"Then I the Queen of Saturn, will return your life to you, Kagura no Kaze of Saturn, I infused you with the power of those from the Royal Family of Saturn. Now Soul Return," she recites, a purple lightning bolt strikes Kagura, and she was surrounded by a purple glow. Ryoko slowly drew her blade from out of Kagura's chest, purple runes appeared on her sword, then on Kagura, a purple beam shot out of Ryoko's weapon, striking the demon. Kagura's eyes shoot open, they were flashing from red to black, to blood red constantly. Her hair flickered from black, to purplish blue, to eerie black just as constantly as her eyes. The runes soon fades away, and Kagura returns back to her feet, but kneels down to her new Queen, a moment later.
"Thank you, Ryoko-sama," Kagura thanked sincerely. "What are my first orders, my Queen?"
"I want you to stick by Kiyone's side, aid her in battles, and do what ever she tells you to do. I also want you to watch over the Saturian Royal Family, and guard them from any harm. Meaning my daughters, and my Imouto," she said nodding, over to Kagome and Kikiyo.
"As you wish my Queen,"
"I understand that you use a fan, but you'll need some sort of bladed weapon," she said thoughtfully. "Kiyone, do you know anybody, who makes swords?" Kikiyo answers this time.
"There is a demon named Totosai, who is able to make demonic weapons. Inuyasha's Tessaiga is one of them,"
"Good, we're getting somewhere," then a thought hit her, as she saw neither of the girls carrying a sword. "Where is your sword Kiyone?"
"It was buried under a mountain, but I had no need for her at the moment," Kagome replies, a little more confidence present in her voice.
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Chaos is at it again, and your going to need her. Now call her," Kagome nodded, and got to her feet, and raised her hand to the sky.
"COME TO ME...BANRYU," she shouts surprising those who knew what the sword was, and who it once belonged to. Inuyasha, and the others saw a bright light in the sky, and saw a massive sword falling directly towards Kagome. The others were about to jump in to move her, but with one glare coming from Ryoko, none dared to move. They watched as Kagome caught it effortlessly, a large crater formed under her form, due to the intense weight.
The Banryu had a red demonic aura surrounding it, but died down once Kagome focused some of her miko power over it. The sword then morphed into a standard katana. Summoning a purple scabbard to her hand, she sheaths it, and straps it to her waist, by forming a purple sash out of her energy.
"You, merge with her now," Ryoko orders, pointing to Kikiyo. Sighing softly, she nods her head, and makes her way towards Kagome. Inuyasha wanted to shout, to move, to stop Kikiyo from doing what she was about to do, but he found that he couldn't do any of those things. The reason for this was one simple word...fear. Inuyasha was afraid of Ryoko, and the powerful aura rolling off of her. He knew for a fact that he wouldn't be able to defeat the demon woman, Naraku would be easier to defeat than her. So he just stood there and watch, as Kikiyo placed her hand on Kagome's shoulders. Both of their bodies were surrounded by a purple aura, and the Saturn planetary symbol appeared on both of their foreheads. A few seconds later, Kikiyo's body turned to dust, and the souls that didn't belong to Kagome flew away. A few moments later, a bright purple flash erupts from Kagome's body blinding the area. When the light died down, Kagome was in a new appearance, she wore a battle kimono like Kagura, except hers was black with different purple symbols on it. Her sword was still strapped to her waist, with her purple sash. Her black hair was longer, and was in the same designs as Kikiyo's, but she had a shade of indigo in it. Her brown eyes, had a purple tint to them, but not by much, that it was too noticeable. Kagome walks gracefully towards Kikiyo's bow and arrow, and it changed in a flash of light. It was now black, and the arrows were pitch black as well.
Aiming the bow towards the horde of demons, who were still frozen in fear, she loads an arrow, then fires it a second later, a purple aura streaming from the arrow. The arrow sailed through the demons, killing them all instantly, Kagome smiles slightly, and turns to her friends, and saw that they were all shocked. She would have laughed at their faces, but Ryoko spoke up again.
"Kiyone, absorb the rest of the jewels, and then we can..." she paused, when she felt the rest of the jewels disappear, except for the lone one that was once at the location, but seemed to be moving towards a random direction, at a very fast pace. "Kiyone, a lone jewel is heading south from where, the largest piece was at, but it vanished," she explained, and she saw the taija go pale.
"Kirara," she shouts, mounding the giant demon cat's back, and flew off. Miroku ran after Sango, and Inuyasha shot a glance at Kagome, before running after them.
"Kiyone, what's the deal?"
"My guess is that the lone shard, is Sango-chan's little brother Kohaku, I'll tell you the rest, while we chase after them," Kagome shouts as she phasing into the trees, giving chase.
"Kagura, let's go. Wolf Boy you coming?"
"Of course, can't have mutt face doing anything stupid," he said, his normal arrogance back in his voice, he too giving chase, a mini tornado surrounding his body. Ryoko smirks lightly, phasing up into the same tree Kagome had phased into earlier, and chased after them, with Kagura flying in the air on her feather. While hopping through trees, Kagome had filled Ryoko in on everything that Naraku had done, and to say that Ryoko was pissed would be an understatement. She was cursing Naraku to the deepest pits of hell, but wouldn't kill him. She would leave him for the ones he damned, and let them have their revenge. After two hours of traveling they came across, a lone boy fighting off a horde of demons and heartless.
"Kiyone, Heartless," Ryoko shouts, summoning two orange ki balls to her hands, and shooting them at the Heartless surrounding Kohaku.
"Hiraikotsu," Sango cries, launching her giant boomerang at the demons attempting to eat her brother.
"Kazana," Miroku then sucked up a large amount of the demons with his wind tunnel, but closed it off a few moments later, when he spotted some Saimyosho. Then promptly began using his staff to fight the onslaught of demons. Shippo fired some fox fires on the Heartless, and actually destroyed some, but was soon surrounded, and had to be picked up by Kagome. The Miko had drawn her bow and arrows, and were firing many scared, and cursed arrows destroying many demons. Ryoko just tossed a few ki balls onto the battle ground, and summon her energy sword to her hand, and made quick work of the demons surrounding them. Koga punched, and kicked through many demons, and was surprised with how much power he had left, after the jewel was taken from him.
After twenty minutes of fighting, all the demons and heartless were gone. Sango reunited with her brother, but knew that Ryoko needed the jewel.
"Don't worry, I'll revive him, the moment I retrieve the jewel," Sango nods sadly, and Ryoko stared Kohaku in the eyes. "Close your eyes kid," Kohaku nods, and Kagome pulled up his shirt, and armor, then retrieved the jewel from his back. The jewel was pitch black, but the moment it touched Kagome, it glowed a bright pink, thus being purified. Kagome then absorbed it into her body. While she was doing that, Ryoko was already going through the ritual, she had gone through with Kagura earlier.
"Do you want to live?"
"Yes,"
"Will you remain loyal to those who belong to the Saturian Royal Family?"
"I will,"
"Then by the power invested in me, I the Queen of Saturn, return your life, Kohaku no Taija of Saturn, I infuse you with the power from those of the Royal Family of Saturn, now soul return," the process was the same as Kagura's, and by the time the process was done, Sango was crying, while hugging her brother Kohaku with super strength, almost killing him for a third time.
"Monk, please come here," Miroku walks up to Ryoko a little nervously, but he didn't let it show. "Hold out the hand with the curse," he blinks, but did what he was told. Ryoko grabs it, with both hands, and they were both surrounded by a purple aura. Miroku felt a burning sensation go through his hand, and when Ryoko released him, he opened up his right hand, cautiously, and saw that the Kazana was gone.
"How is this possible?"
"I made it so you can open, and closed it as you will. It will no longer, expand, unless it is heavily damage, so you don't have to worry about it sucking you up. It is now your true power, and it will still be passed on to your kids, but it will only activate by the time they reach the age of twelve or thirteen," she explained, and the others including Kagome was shocked at this.
"Thank you very much Ryoko-sama," he said, tears in his eyes, but wiped them away a second later.
"No problem, it's the least I can do for a friend of my imouto," she dismissed, but then turned her attention towards Kohaku. "Kohaku, what happen to the jewel?"
"Naraku, he vanished in a black portal, with some girl with blackish blue hair, with pale lavender eyes. I think he called her Hyuga Hinata, and she was working for some being call the Chaos. She offered him power, he took it, and vanished through the portal, but not before he summon some demons to attack me, to take the jewel. The girl had a companion with her, he had ashy gray hair, but his eyes were alway closed. He had two swords strapped to his waist, a dark moon like design for the guard," both Ryoko, and Kagome narrowed their eyes at the descriptions of the two people. "He then summon those things called Heartless, and had them chase after me," he finish with a sigh.
"Thank you, Kohaku," Ryoko then turns to everyone else. "How about we go to that Totosai guy now, to get us some swords made for us," she said with a grin, phasing into a tree, hopping in a random direction.
"Ryoko, your going the wrong way," Kagome shouts phasing after her, with a smile on her face.
"Kagome, seems much more happier," Shippo said from Miroku's shoulder.
"I agree with Shippo, Lady Kagome looks very happy," Sango, Kirara, Koga, and Inuyasha nods with what both Shippo and Miroku had said.
"I'm going after them," Kagura then summons her feather, and took off into the air.
"I'm returning to my pack, and train for the return of Naraku. Bye Mutt Face," Koga smirked as he vanished in a vortex of wind.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH YOU MANGEY WOLF," shouts Inuyasha, resisting the urged to draw Tessaiga.
"I wish to follow Lady Kagome, and find out how she is related to the demon women, how she possesses the Banryu, and how she can do that phasing technique, as if she was a demon herself," Miroku said frowning.
"I agree, let's go after them," Inuyasha then ran after the two demons, and traveling companion, with the others following him. After thirty minutes of running, they finally reached both Ryoko and Kagome. Once they did, they asked if they explained how they were related, among other things. So as they ran, everything was explained, Kagura also heard them talking, because she willed their voices with the wind, so she could hear them. Two hours later, they made it to Totosai's place, only to see the old demon sleeping peacefully.
"Wake up," Ryoko shouts, punching him lightly on the shoulder, not waking him. She punches him harder, but he still didn't move. Grinned wickedly, she summon a ki ball to her hand, then blasted the ground where he was at, sending high into the air with a scream. "Hahahahaha, that was great, maybe you shouldn't sleep so hard, old geezer, and things like that may not happen,"
"Who are you," the old demon asks, while scratching his head, and scanning over the group. "Inuyasha and friends, what can I do for you?"
"I need three swords made, Old Man," Ryoko demands, floated above ground without a care in the world. Totosai, and the others could only blink at her.
"But you have a perfectly good sword on your waist. It seems perfectly happy, from what I can tell. So why would you need three more?" he asked in confusion, and his eyes landed on Kagome's sword. "Can I see your sword?" Kagome handed him, her Banryu or her Black Silence as it was really called or just Silence. He looked it over, and whacked it a few times with his hammer, he then frowned. "She needs to be repaired. This beauty wouldn't last another battle. Can I have one of your fangs?" Kagome, brought her hand to her mouth, and placed it on one of her fangs. Focusing some power into her fingers, she pulls it out with ease. Handing the fang to Totosai, the demon places it in a pouch, and tied it to Silence. "Your sword should be repaired in a three days time," Kagome nods her head, and waits for Ryoko to finish her business with the old demon.
"One of the swords is for me, the other is for Kagura, and the last one is for...me. And what I do with them is none of your business," she growled baring her fangs at him, making him recoil a bit.
"Fine, I'll need two fangs from you, and one fang from her," they each gave them they're fangs, and he placed them all in separate pouches. "They should all be done within a months time," he said as she walked out of his home, and out into the smoldering lava surface.
"Ryoko-sama, shouldn't I get a sword as well?" Kohaku asks frowning.
"Actually kid, what you have is fine, just hand it to Kiyone, and she'll infuse it with some of her holy power," he did what he was told, and Kagome, focused on her Royal Energy, along with her Miko Energy, and then fused it into Kohaku's weapon.
"Monk and Taija Woman, hand her your weapons as well," they did, and Kagome, fused them both with some of her power.
"Kagome, what about me?" Shippo asks, his big green eyes widening in sadness. Kagome sees this, and immediately falls for his look.
"Shippo, your too young for your own sword, and your fang still needs time to mature. But how about this. I'll train you, until I find an old friend of mine, and then she could teach you all about fox magic, and fox yoki abilities," Shippo immediately brightens at this.
"Really? Who'll be teaching me after you?"
"Kyuubi no Kitsune," she responds casually, causing Shippo's eyes to widen, along with Inuyasha's, Sango's, Miroku's, and Kirara's.
"Kyuubi-sama, I'm going to be even stronger than you Inuyasha," Shippo shouts grinning at the scowling hanyo.
"Feh, even if you do get trained by some powerful demon, I'll still be stronger than you, shrimp," Inuyasha scowls, punching Shippo on his head.
"Kagome," Shippo whines as he ran to Kagome, who glares at the nervous Inuyasha.
"Now, hold on Kago-"
"Osuwari," and Inuyasha impacts the ground with a loud thump, Ryoko laughs, and phases to the ground.
"Kiyone, we have to get going," Ryoko shouts, walking out and creating a purple portal.
"To where?" she asks, with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"First, my mother wants to meet you, second we have to train for four years to prepare for the Chaos, and this Naraku demon. Lastly, you'll need to talk to Anna," this caused Kagome to pale greatly.
"Before I go, there is a person I must see," she said as she snapping her own fingers, and another purple portal opened. She turns to the others, and motions them to follow her, as she walks through. Ryoko shrugs her shoulders, closes the portal she made, and walks through the portal Kagome had just went through.
"Are you guys coming or not?" Inuyasha growls sightly, walking through the portal. Sango, Miroku, Kohaku, Kirara and Kagura, follows them through, and were surprised when they were by the Bone Eaters Well. They saw Inuyasha walking after the phasing Kagome, and Ryoko, who were both heading to the village. When they finally reached the others, they saw Kagome talking with Kaede, about what happened earlier.
"Naraku has vanished, and my sister is within ye body Kagome," Kaede said softly.
"Yes Kaede. And I wish to make an offer for you, so you can live your life happily," this confused Kaede greatly, she thinks that she had lived a very good life, but yet a part of her had wished, that she had the chance to bare a child, and raise one as her own, but such thoughts were foolish on her part.
"What offer, Kagome?" she, and the others watched as a purple monovalent aura washed over both Kaede and Kagome. Kagome's eyes then glazed over slightly, then gained a harder look to them, but were still warm as they gazed into Kaede's aged eyes.
"To give you a chance to be happy," Kagome, who was now speaking Kikiyo's voice spoke. "To give you the chance to restart your life, from a younger age. To fulfill your desires not in just protecting the village, but in starting a family. I know that is what you desire, because I am your sister Kaede, and I know what you did or still do desire most," the surrounding people were shocked that a dead Miko was talking to them.
"Kikiyo," Inuyasha muttered under his breath sadly, Kikiyo turned towards him, and gave him a sad smile.
"Forgive me Inuyasha, for the grief I may have caused you. But, Kagome and I have our duties that we must accomplish...you must move on, my love," she spoke sadly, then she turns back to the glowing Kaede, missing the sorrowful look on Inuyasha's face. "Kaede, I have the power to turn the old, young again, to any age I desire. Do you wish to begin again, and start anew?"
Tears were forming in Kaede's eyes, she never believed that she would have the chance to start a family due to her old age, and now here was this girl, who she has seen a granddaughter, and a sister, who is now giving her a chance to start again. She nods her head slowly, not trusting her aged voice.
"So be it, by my power of the Princess of Saturn, and by the permission of my Queen," Ryoko nods her head, and the Saturn planetary symbol appears on her forehead in a purple glow. "I adopt you into the Saturian Royal Family as my imouto, and reverse the time on your body, by forty five years," a bright light then blinded the area, and when it died a fifteen year old Kaede stood in the place of the sixty year old Kaede. Kaede stares at her body in shock, tears in her eyes, then faster than the eye could see, she engulfed Kikiyo in a warm embrace.
"Onee-chan, I thank you deeply,"
"Don't thank me, Kaede, think of this, as an act of forgiveness for leaving you at such an early age, and for pushing all my duties onto your shoulders," she said smiling a small smile The Saturn planet symbol appeared on Kaede's forehead, before it vanished a second later. "I will have to leave you again, for an undetermined amount of time, but I will return to you, my sister," Kikiyo's eyes then glazed over, and they were now once again bright, and happy. "An you will always be like a grandmother to me Kaede," Kaede smiled warmly at her sister/granddaughter. "Be happy, start a family, and protect the ones you love from harm, you now have a great power inside of you, be careful," Kagome said softly, before walking over to Ryoko, who snaps her fingers, and a purple portal appears.
"Not sayin' that wasn't touching or anything," Ryoko starts while wiping her eyes slightly, in a sarcastic manner. "But I was getting bored, and I bet Sasami is goin ta be angry, seeing how I'm probably late for dinner. Let's go Kiyone, Kagura, and Fox Brat," she said, walking through the portal with Kagura following her in silence. Kagome turns back to her friends, tears in her eyes, she felt herself being embraced by Sango.
"Take care Kagome, and return to us soon," she said hugging her 'sister' closely. Miroku walked up next, and gave Kagome a hug as well, while patting Shippo on the head.
"Be safe on your journey Lady Kagome, you as well Shippo," Shippo smiled, tears also in his eyes, and felt his cheek being licked, by Kirara.
"I'll miss you too Kirara," Kirara meowed in response, and she licked Kagome as well, she giggled, and rubbed the cat demon under her chin.
"I'll miss you Kirara, make sure everyone stays out of trouble," the cat demon meowed, before jumping onto Sango's shoulder. Inuyasha walked up, and gave Kagome a friendly hug, knowing that he wouldn't be able to have her, but was still depressed over the whole thing.
"Be safe Kagome, we'll miss you here," then he suddenly pulled away from her. "And, don't die or I'll never forgive you," Kagome smiled at his words, and then looked down at Kohaku, and sent him a mental message.
"Kohaku, take care of everything while I'm away, and live happily with your sister," Kohaku was startled to hear Kagome's voice in his head, but replied back with a nod, and a smile on his face. Those who saw this, was confused by this, but decided to no ask questions.
"Goodbye everyone, take care," Kagome said, as she and Shippo walks through the portal, but before she went through, she sent a message to Kaede, or rather Kikiyo did.
"I love you my sister, please find happiness," Kaede smiles sadly, and replies back, not knowing if her sister heard her or not.
"I will Kikiyo-nee," Kikiyo smiles, from within Kagome's mind, and stared at the moon in the sky, from her place on the grassy hill she was on.
Tenchi Universe
"Took you long enough Kiyone," Ryoko called out from her position in the air. "Now allow me to set a few ground rules," Kagome, Shippo, and Kagura all waits for Ryoko to continue. "Whatever happens in there, is a daily occurrence so don't kill anyone, or try to hurt the annoying purple haired girl named Ayeka. Also, don't add sama to my name, I don't need any unwanted attention from any of the other occupants in the house. The only person who knows of my status is the crazy mad scientist Washu. Is there anything, any of you would like to add?"
"Don't call me Kiyone anymore Ryoko, call me by name, Kagome," Ryoko rolls her eyes, and turns to the others.
"Place is nice, but the air feels a little tainted," Kagura muttered slightly, as she felt the winds blow through the area. "At least it's better than being with that bastard Naraku," she said, smiling a real smile, a real small smile, and felt the wind swirl around her, as if recognizing her very being.
"Alright, it's now time for din-"
"RYOKO DINNER IS READY," Sasami shouts from the house door with a ladle in her hand.
"ALRIGHT, I'LL BE THERE IN A MOMENT," Sasami blinks when she saw the extra people with her friend, sighing, she went back in the house to make a few extra plates for their guest. "Come on dinner is starting," the others followed her as she entered the house, where the other occupants of the room were waiting for Ryoko to join the table to eat. "Hi, everyone, I brought a few friends, to stay with us for awhile," she said floating down into her seat, and grabbing herself bowl of rice. With food in her mouth, she continued talking. "The girl blackish blue hair is my younger sister, Kagome. The fox demon on her shoulder, is her little friend Shippo, and the chick with the beautiful red ruby eyes, is Kagura. Sasami this is really good," she said while stuffing some fish into her mouth. Kagome giggles at everyones reactions, and had one though on her mind.
'This is going to be an interesting four years,'
"It will be a long four years," Kikiyo retorts frowning.

Toph sat at the desk in Naruto's room, with a heavy frown on her face. It's been a week since the incident with Naruto, and he's been unconscious in his room for four days, having spent the former three screaming his lungs out in pain. She was still confused on what to do, she had her duty as Aang's teacher for him to learn earthbending, but there was also her duty for being a Guardian. For the past few days, she has received mostly all of her past life's memories, and she knew that she had a job to do, but she didn't want to leave her friends to fight the Firenation, by themselves. Also a few days ago, Takato, Nami, Nao, and Usagi had arrived as well, and were worried about Naruto. Usagi had decided that they will leave today, wither Naruto was awake or not, they will carry him if they had to, and Toph had to make a choice either to stay or not. Everything in the house, besides the stuff in Naruto's room was already sealed into sealing scroll's, and they were just waiting for Toph's decision. Toph sighs to herself, and makes her was over to the sleeping Naruto, slinging him over her shoulder, she makes her way outside.
When she left the house, she saw Mikoto eating some of Naruto's ramen, Tatsuki and Takato were sparring with their swords, Raven was meditating, Nao was leaning against a tree with her cellphone in her hand, Anna was sitting in the tree that Nao was leaning against, Usagi and Nami, were talking to Katara and Aang. Sokka was fishing in the river, with Momo playing in his hair. Appa was sleeping soundly near the house, with his tail twitching ever so slightly. Mikoto was the first to notice they're arrival, she smiles at her, a happy blush on her cheeks, enjoying Naruto's food.
"Toph-chan, come and try some ramen," she yells with ramen still in her mouth, surprisingly none of it flew from it.
"A little later, I made my decision," they all turns to her awaiting her answer. "I'm going with you, if I don't go, this world will have a lot more to deal with, then just the Firenation,"
"Good...choice...Toph-chan," Naruto mumbles in his sleep, with some drool coming out of his mouth. Shocked and disgusted, Toph lifts Naruto in the air, and threw him towards Raven, who stops him moments before he reached her. Cracking an eye open, Raven glares at her.
"I would appreciate it, if you wouldn't throw the sleeping prince at me Toph," her eyes flashing red as she said this. In response, Toph smirked, and her eyes momentarily flashed gold. They both glared at each other, before as one they turned away from the other. Raven then laid Naruto softly on the ground and went to resume meditating. but couldn't do to a pulse of power going through the area. All eyes turns to Aang, whose eyes were glowing white, and a white mist leaks out of his body forming into a white ball of energy. Aang then begins to speak in a very ancient, and sovereign-like voice.
"Guardians, I am the Ancient one, I am using the Avatar's body as a vessel to speak with you. I along with the spirits of Air, Earth, Water, and Fire have all agreed to give each of the Guardians, and their own guardians the powers over elemental bending. Not only will you have these abilities, but you will have one extra that is similar to the Avatar State, but it will be vastly different. Enjoy your new gifts, and continue to protect the many universes from danger," the orb of light then splits into many different pieces, and one slammed into Toph's chest, which surprised her greatly, along with the other guardians including Mikoto, Nao, and Anna. The other lights disappeared into many portals to go to who knows where. A few seconds later, Aang returned to normal, while holding his head in confusion.
"That was strange," Aang stumbles as he said this, and Katara was by his side in an instant. Toph felt much more in the vibrations in the earth as she walked around. She couldn't explain it, but it was like her vision had become a little clearer, she shrugs her shoulders, and watched as Usagi walks into the house, and exited it five minutes later, a few scrolls in her hands.
"Is everyone ready?" Usagi asks, walking towards the others, stuffing the scrolls in her pockets. They all nod, and Usagi closes her eyes for a few seconds, then she snaps the open, clapping her hands, she then spread them apart, a white portal appearing.
"Who has Naruto?" in response to Usagi's question, Raven levitates Naruto in the air with her powers. "Good let's go, and thank you for the stay, I hope you defeat the Fire Lord," Usagi shouts, walking through the portal, the others following her, and before Toph walks through, she turns back to her friends.
"You will probably never hear something like this again, but," she paused, and gave them a sad smile. "Be safe, your all like the family I never had, but always wanted," her friends smiled at her, and then Toph smirked. "Twinkle Toes, kick the Fire Lords ass for me," she shouted, and walked through the portal with a stray tear falling from her eyes.
"Did Toph just..." Katara was about to say, but Aang shook his head at her.
"We'll see her again one day, but for now, we have to defeat the Fire Lord," Aang said turning around, while wiping some tears from his eyes. Katara smiled, and followed him to Appa with Momo, and Sokka.
"What people should we invite for Toph's welcome back party?" Sokka suddenly asked, both Aang, and Katara stared at him in confusion. Seeing their looks Sokka sighed, while wiping his face with his hand. "Come on, I mean, the girl is going to be gone for four years. The least we can do is throw some kind of welcome back party for her," Katara slowly blinked, along with Aang, and Momo, as they flew through the air.
"That's actually a good idea, Sokka," Aang chuckled at Sokka's glaring form, while looking up at the sky, a small smile on his face.
Dragon Ball Universe: The Look Out Tower
The group walks out the white portal, to see a girl staring at them with a small glare, until she spotted Tatsuki.
"Tatsuki-nee," Pan shouts with a smile. Tatsuki looked up from her book, that Usagi lent her, and smiled a big smile as she saw Pan.
"Pan," Tatsuki mumbles just as she was tackled to the ground, by the teary eye Pan.
"I thought, I never see you again," she then realized what she was doing, and composed herself in a flash.
"Enough of this emotional crap," Anna started scaring the group, except for Raven, because they thought she would have left by now. "Where's the idiot?"
"If your looking for father," Pan scowls. "He disappeared a couple of months ago," Anna let out a frustrated sigh, and glared up at the sky.
"I'll give you five seconds, to transport us where you are, or I'll make the rest of your long miserable life, a living hell, and you know I can do it," the others stares at her like she was crazy, but they watched as she opened her mouth, and began counting down.
"1..."
"2..."
"3..." everyone felt a strange aura covering them, but Anna still counted down.
"4..." the aura grew stronger, and Pan felt a group of familiar Ki heading there way, she waved, as her father Gohan, and the other Z Warriors appeared.
Just as Anna was about say five, they vanished, leaving a group of shock fighters.
Unknown Plane
When the Guardians appeared in the unknown realm, Anna had a smug smirk on her face. Standing a little distance away from them was a nervous looking ten year old Goku, with a smirking Urahara.
"Father, why the hell are you a child?" Tatsuki said, she then glares at Urahara. "And what they hell are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in our universe?"
"Actually, I'm here to help you all reach 'Bankai', and turn the others into Shinigami," he said pulling out a fan from no where.
"Grandpa," Pan started stalking towards Goku with her eyes a glaring green. "Why didn't you take me with you?" she said calmly, but Goku didn't answer, because he grabbed Anna's right hand, just as she was about to slap him.
"Why are you trying to hit me Anna? I brought you all u-HIAH," he screams as he was slapped by a powerful left hand, sending him flying through the air.
"Phantom...Left...Hand...Slap...Amazing," Naruto muttered, as he began talking about different flavors of ramen in his sleep. The others shook their heads at him, while Anna tried to figure out how he knew that name, but realized that she had used the same move on him multiple times on him. But that still doesn't excuse, how he knew what she did even though he's councilors.
"That's for transporting us at the last second, Idiot King," she growled, crossing her arms glaring at him.
"Tatsuki, why was Naruto screaming so loud, that people could hear him their own universes?" Tatsuki blinked at her, and shrugged his shoulders.
"It's because of my stupid apprentice, absorb a large amount of yoki and holy energy. Now that he has absorb the power, he will be asleep for an undetermined amount of time, the same thing has happen to my Master's third apprentice a couple of years ago," Anna explained with a sigh, before snapping her fingers, and a gray portal appeared. "I'll return in a few days to check on Naruto's condition, I have to go and check on the Miko girl. Mikoto take care of the kid, while I'm away," she then leaves without another word. Urahara looks back at Goku, only to see him unconscious, and sighs to himself. He grabs his cane, and rams in through, Toph, Nami, Raven, Mikoto, and Nao, knocking them into their spirit forms.
"It's time for Shinigami Training 101," he said smiling, his fan in hand
Tenchi Universe
"Come on Kagome, your stronger than this aren't you?" Ryoko laughs, parrying another sword strike her baby sister. Kagome glares at Ryoko, her eyes flashing red slightly. "Temper, temper, Kagome," Ryoko taunts, phasing behind her, slashing Kagome across her back. There was some blood on her sword, and she flicked it clean, frowning. "Your sloppy Kagome, where's that master swordsman, the people all across the Silver Millennium praised. I guess all of the years of peace, has made the Legendary Miko of Silence, weak," she taunted some more, and then everything happened in a chain reaction. Luckily none of the house guest, besides Washu, were at the house.
Kagome's eyes bled red, her hair flashed a dark purple
Silence transformed into its giant form, but a black version.
A pulse of power went through area, scaring off all wild life, putting both Shippo and Kagura on edge.
A white portal appeared a couple dozen feet behind Kagome.
Anna stepped out said portal, frowning heavily, making Ryoko pale.
A black aura surrounded Kagome's glaring form.
She bared her enlarged fangs at her sister, raising Silence in the air.
Anna walked calmly to the berserk Kagome, summoning white beads to her hands
Shippo jumps onto Kagura's shoulder, which the demon glared at him for, but Shippo ignored her.
"Black Sile-" Kagome starts in a demonic voice, but Anna was glowing a bright white, stopping Kagome, who turned around in alarm.
"Kotodama no Nenju," she whispers, the beads in her hands separated, and flew around Kagome's neck.
"Youki Retract," she commanded, closing her hands into a fist, the black aura around Kagome died down, and her features returned to normal. Silence returned to it's normal color, and reverted into it's kodaichi form. Before she could collapse to the ground, Ryoko caught her.
"Kagura, please take Kagome into the house, and stay with her until she awakens," Kagura nods, and walks over to Kagome, lifting her from Ryoko, and walks back into the house, with a worried Shippo following her.
"Are you trying to destroy this universe, Ryoko?" Anna demands, her white aura still surrounding her.
"Ah, got to go," Ryoko was about to phase away, but found herself being cornered by two girls with swords in their hands, aiming their blades at her neck. "Your not going to kill me are you?"
"Probably, I haven't decided yet," Anna responded coldly, a hint of malice in her voice. "But if I did that, you would just be reborn again, and once again your strength will be cut in half," she walks slowly towards the shivering demon. "I advise you to never do that again, the 'Demon Rage' is the worst of the 'Berserk Transformations'. I will not have what Hotaru did to everyone during the Silver Millennium happen here," she stalks closer to the glaring demon woman, and brought her lips to Ryoko's ear. "And you made me use one of my special beads, that I was planning on using for the new dark power I felt recently. And luckily for you, I made three pairs of them," Ryoko shivers as she felt Anna's cold breath on her ear. "Now I have to make some more, and you are going to pay somehow," Anna then walks away, to where she sensed a waterfall, her shikigami following her.
"After all these years, she's still scary," Ryoko then heard snickering coming from above her, she looks up, and saw Washu trying to hold in her laughs. "Quit laughing hag," Washu puts her hand to her chest in mock hurt.
"I'm hurt, Little Ryoko," Ryoko glares at her angrily, a purple malicious aura surrounding her. "Weren't you just the one, who said," she coughed a few time, and somehow duplicated Ryoko's voice perfectly. " Hold on, 'Temper, temper', take your own advise Ryoko," she laughs just as Ryoko fired a ki ball at her, and the branch she was sitting on exploded. "You have terrible aim, Little Ryoko," Washu replied from behind the surprised Ryoko, who then tried to swipe her with her sword, but was blocked by Washu's black energy sword. "Your swordsmanship, needs improvement as well," Washu said in a sing a song voice, as she began walking away from the growling Ryoko.
'How the hell did she do that,'
"It's my secret, Little Ryoko," Washu shouts, walking farther away towards the house, to work on more experiments.
"Forgot about that link thing," Ryoko sighed, floating into the air, and began meditating, like Anna was doing some miles away, under a freezing waterfall with her shikigami guarding her.
Tamers Digital World
Fiery explosions went through the area, where Hikari was running for her life. Chasing her was a champion level digimon, and Gatomon, was somewhere with her sadistic mother. She knew her mother would be disappointed in her if the only thing she did was run, so she turned around just as Greymon fired a giant fireball at her. She glares at it in defiance, and took a deep breath, red flames began blazing on her arms as she did. Cocking her fist back, she punches the giant fireball away, then charges the digimon, but was quickly swatted away by Greymon's tail. Crashing hard into the ground, Kari had blood dripping from her head. Eyes widening in fear, she she saw Greymon preparing to charge another fireball to destroy her.
'I'm going to die,' Kari thought in fear, staring at the smirking Greymon in the eyes.
"Weak," a voice within Kari snarled in disgust. The Mars planet symbol flashed on her forehead, but instead of red, it was black.
'No...not you...I can handle this myself,' Kari glares hard at the Greymon, her eyes slowly bleeding red, her hair too began turning a blood red, with black highlights in them.
"Your weak, and I will not die, because of it," the being screamed, and Kari felt herself losing control over her body.
'Stop, I won't allow you to take over,' she grits her teeth in pain, trying to fight back the dark entity.
"Too...late,"
A giant black fiery explosion rocks the area, taking out everything in a four mile radius.
Nanoha Universe
Subaru sat in a tree, smiling sadly. Her friends were leaving in a few hours to continue on their training journey. Subaru, herself wouldn't be able to go, because she was apart of the TSAB, and she had a duty in her universe to attend to. She had told the others this, and they reluctantly agreed that it would be for the best for her to stay, and protect her universe, and not be court martial for vanishing for four years.
So deep in thought, she didn't notice Will leaning against the tree, she was sitting on, until the red head spoke, startling her.
"Sad faces, don't do you justice, Subaru," she spoke calmly, the wind blowing through her hair. "We'll meet again in a few years time, just continue to train yourself, and be prepared for the Chaos to come," Subaru glares at her irritation.
"If you thought that was supposed to cheer me up, your dead wrong," Will smirks at Subaru, her eyes full of amusement.
"I thought, I was doing a pretty good job," Subaru cracked a smile at her, and just stared up at the sky. "At least, I got you to smile," Subaru's smile widens, and jumps down from the tree. Will watch as her, Mach Caliber started beeping, and flashing.
"Yes?" Subaru asked in a serious tone.
"Come back to base immediately Sergeant Subaru, we have a situation,"
"I'll be there in ten," Subaru gave Will a sad smile, activated her Wing Road, and before she could leave, Will spoke out to her.
"Be careful Subaru-chan, we're still going to need you. So don't die...yet," Will said with a smirk, Subaru shook her head, and gave Will a wave, and then took off with a big smile on her face. "Come on Izumi," Izumi steps out from behind the tree, just as Will created a white portal, and stepped through.
"Wait up," she shouts, running after her, a red diamond shape object in her left hand and a white triangle shape object in her right.
Digimon Adventure Universe
The Chosen have been searching all through the digital world for Yagami Hikari, and for her partner Gatomon. Sora had told the others what she had saw, and they immediately shouted at her why, she didn't stop her from leaving. Sora explained to them, that for some reason, the moment the strange woman had showed up, her body was paralyzed with fear. Her friends didn't really believe her, but let it go. After that they went searching in the digital world for her, after Sora had told them about how they were going to a digital world to train. Train for what? They didn't know, but Tai was hurt when he had found out that she was happy to see some sort of family members, that he nor his parents knew about. For as long as he knew her, he knew that there was something different about her, but didn't understand what. But he has a strange feeling that the giant digital dragon sovereign digimon in the sky was about to tell them.
"Azulongmon, where is my sister?" Tai shouts out to the blue digital dragon.
"The Guardian of Light? She is out preforming her duties to this universe,"
"Guardian of Light?" everyone asked in unison.
"And please explain when you said that she was performing her duties to the universe?" Izzy asks frowning.
"There are many Guardians, who protect an assign universe. But there are only thirteen main guardians who each protect a sector that holds many different universes. Each Guardian comes from a Royal Family belonging to each planet, and some of them even have their own digimon partner, with their assign crest to their universe. Young Kari was assign to this universe as the Guardian of Light," Azulongmon explained, and the others were a little overwhelm at this information.
"Who are these Guardians? And what planet, and Royal Families do they all come from," Takeru asks, and Azulongmon's eyes shined a bright white, the clouds in the sky, started forming into a giant circle.
"Allow me to show you," a picture started forming into in the giant clouds, and it showed Usagi, Naruto, Selenity, and Jiraiya, all dressed in royal clothing, all with the moon symbol on their foreheads. "This is the Royal Family of the Moon. The Guardian of Purity: Princess Serenity or Tsukino Usagi, The Guardian of Spirit: Prince Naruto or Uzumaki Naruto, Queen Selenity, and her father King Jiraiya," the picture then faded away, revealing another one, showing Endymion, and Toph.
"From the Royal Family of Earth is; Prince Endymion or Chiba Mamoru, and his younger sister, The Guardian of Life: Princess Toph or Toph Bei Fong, as she goes by now," the picture then fades away to show Kari, standing next to a boy who could pass off as her twin, with a few other people, and Sora recognized one of them as the woman, who Kari walked off with.
"This the Royal Family from Mars. Queen: Asanuma Nami, Princess Mai. Princess Rei, Princess Shana, The Guardian of Chaos: Prince Takato, and The Guardian of Light: Princess Hikari," the others were silent on the outside, but were too shock to actually say anything. Then two blue haired girls showed up in royal clothing as well.
"These two are from the Royal Family of Mercury. Princess Ami, and Princess Emerald, who is a Guardian to her assign universe," then it showed the Royal Family of Jupiter.
"From the Royal Family of Jupiter. King Goku, his daughters; Princess Makoto, The Guardian of Virtue: Princess Tatsuki, The Guardian of Ambition: Princess Pan. The King's sister, Princess Hakufu, who is a Guardian to her own universe," then it showed the Royal Family belonging to Venus.
"Princess Minako, and Princess Izumi," then he showed the Uranus Royal Family. "Princess Haruka, and Princess Subaru," then the Neptune Royal Family. "Queen Neptune, Princess Nami, and Princess Michiru," then the Saturn Royal Family, with them either in royal clothing, or in some kind of battle armor. "Queen Ryoko, and her daughters; The Guardian of Darkness: Princess Raven, and Princess Hotaru. The Queen's sister; Princess Kiyone, and the little one in her arms; Princess Rhea," then showed the Royal Family of Pluto, who both had they're own weapons in their hands. "Princess Setsuna, who will become Queen of Pluto, but she is currently the guardian of the Gates of Time. Princess Akira, who is a Guardian, and who will be the Guardian of the Gates of Time in the near future," he finished with an almost unnoticeable sigh.
"But why did she leave now?" Davis shouts.
"She left to train for four years, to prepare for the Chaos,"
"Chaos? But isn't that Takato guy the Guardian of Chaos?" Yolei asked in confusion.
"He is, but that is just the name of his universe. It has no connection to the enemy,"
"I have another question," Davis suddenly asked, and the others turns to him. "Which planet of Royals is the most dangerous? And the most powerful?" Azulongmon was quiet for about five minutes, before answering the young Chosen's question.
"It is hard to say. The Royals from the Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are all very powerful. They each have a normal transformation, and a dark transformation. The people from Mars all have a terrible temper, and when they transform into their dark transformation stages, they have go into a sort of genocide mode, and their dark emotions are amplified. They could easily destroy any of the Sovereigns if they were to fight at full power," the others couldn't imagine sweet Kari turning into something like that, but Ken, and Tai thought differently.
"The Royal Family from the Moon, all have a similar power, but on a much larger scale. The only difference is that they, go berserk when something close to them is seriously injured, dead, or like the other Royal Families, when they are in a near death state, they will activate their dark transformations. There has only been one dark transformation from Jupiter, and Princess Hakufu was the cause of this disaster. She almost destroyed all the planets surrounding Jupiter, due to her losing herself in her rage, and she was exiled to another dimension for this, for a safe guard to her planet, and others. An exiled has happen once before, five hundred years earlier to the former Queen of Saturn Dione. Her anger, and dark transformation almost destroyed the entire universe, and the ones connecting to them. She sent herself in self exiled to protect her love ones. Sadly, Princess Hotaru also went through the same, and once again, the universe was almost destroyed, but Princess Haruka, Princess Michiru, and Princess Setsuna, put her in a dark sleep, saving the universe once again, but also leaving it weaken enough, for the Chaos to evade and destroy everything, sending everything into utter chaos and terror,"
"And this Chaos is back again, and Kari, along with the other Guardians are preparing for it," Tai said a strange glint in his eyes, but it instantly disappeared. Agumon felt a change in Tai, and turn to him, but some of his hair is covering his eyes, stopping the digimon from getting a good look at his partner. Tai slowly turns to Agumon, staring intently in the eyes, and Agumon is engulfed in a bright orange light. The others turns to him, and were surprised to see WarGreymon standing where Agumon just was. They turns towards Tai, and have to hold back a gasp. Tai's eyes were now at blood shot red, he had dark black markings under them, and his hair was now black, and rested on his shoulders. His digivice morphed into a black and orange digivice burst, and a sword appeared on his waist strapped to it by a white sash. He grinned a sadistic like smirk towards the startled chosen, and digimon.
"Chaos," Azulongmon shouts, his chains on his body shooting towards the smirking Tai, but he just raised his hands, and a dark barrier formed around him, and WarGreymon, and blocked the sovereign digimon's attack.
"No, I'm am just one of Master's servants. I have to admit, I didn't expect this boy to be from that line of people. This is a perfect body to control for my Master," Tai said darkly as he stared at the gathering chosen, until his eyes landed on Sora, his eyes momentarily returned to its orginial color, and the markings around his eyes faded slightly, before returning. "I don't have much time, so I bid you farewell, and I will be sure to kill you all, when I return, especially you," he said as he directed his finger towards the startled Sora.
"Like, I'll let you get away with my best friend's body," Yamato shouts, then turns to Gabumon, and the digimon was engulfed in a bright blue light, MetalGarurumon took his place. Soon all the others evolved their digimon into their highest forms, and prepared to strike down the being who was possessing Tai's body, and the dark WarGreymon, but Tai just chuckled darkly, and a purple light flashed into the area. Standing next to Tai, was none other than Hyuga Hinata wearing a black cloak, and the black markings around her eyes were even darker than before. Next to her was her partner Minervamon, and she was smiling happily at the chosen children, and their digimon.
"Minervamon, if they move an inch, do not hesitate to attack," Hinata orders in a cold voice, and Minervamon nods silently.
"Who are you, Young Warrior?" Tai asks scowling darkly. Hinata kneels down to one knee, and bows to Tai.
"I am Hyuga Hinata, and that's my partner Minervamon. We were sent here, by Lord Chaos, to bring you to his domain, Lord Zoi," Azulongmon's eyes widen at the name, and attempt to attack again, but Minervamon appeared to intercept the attack.
"Olympia Slash," she cries, cutting the lightning chains in two, reappearing back on the ground, by Hinata's side, with her Olympia resting on her shoulders. "Can't have you attacking my partner, or the Lord now can I?" Minervamon states grinning madly.
"It is time to take our leave, Lord Zoi," Hinata said crossing her arms over her chest, two swords appearing in them. The one in her right had, was snow white, the guard was shaped like a six pointed star, and it had the words 'Yang' engraved into the guard, with the yin yang symbol on the hilt. In her left hand was a pitch black sword, the guard was shaped like a six point star, and had the words 'Yin' engraved into it, with the yin yang symbol on the hilt.
"Farewell Chosen," Tai said, as Hinata made a tare in reality with her swords, he stepping through the tare. Minervamon went next, and the Chosen were about to follow, but Hinata swung her Yang Sword at them, a black energy wave shot out of it, forcing them to dodge for cover, and Hinata walks through the portal, during their struggle to their feet, the tare closing behind her.
'That girl was wilding the Swords of Destiny,' Azulongmon thought, as he sadly looked down at the distraught Chosen.
"Train young chosen, and prepare for the Chaos. Then you may have a chance to save your friend from the Chaos," the children all looked up at Azulongmon.
"How long do we have?" Sora asked quietly, trying gain control over emotions.
"Four years, Child of Love, if that is all, it is time for me to take my leave," with that Azulongmon flew up high into the clouds, and to who know where.
"Let's go Garudamon," Sora commanded, and her digimon picked her up, and flew away in her partners hands.
"Let's follow Sora's example, and go train. Come on MetalGarurumon," Yamato said hopping on his digimon's back, and went away. One by one each Chosen followed their example, and went their separate ways, all with the same or similar thoughts running through their minds.
'We're going to save you Tai,' or 'The Chaos is going to pay' or 'Kari, where ever you are, be safe,'
Naruto Universe
It's been three weeks since Hyuga Hinata has been kidnapped, while on a mission, and five weeks since the difference's of Uzumaki Naruto. Tsunade was on the brink of destroying the village, and Jiraiya has been no where to help her,with her problems. The thing that has her worried were the creatures that kidnapped Hinata. Team Eight, explained that they were black creatures that walked on all fours, with yellow eyes, no mouth, with black antennas on their heads. She took a sip of her sake, and placed her hands on her head in frustration.
"Damn it, where did those things take her?"
"My guess, is that the Chaos has taken her into their clutches Tsunade," Tsunade turns around in her seat, and spots Jiraiya sitting in the window seal frowning.
"Jiraiya, where have you been? And whose this Chaos, your talking about?" Tsunade asked, downing another bottle of sake.
"The Chaos is a dangerous being, it has enough power to destroy this universe along with every other universe out there," Tsunade stared at Jiraiya like he has been hit in the head too many times. Seeing her look, Jiraiya explained about the Chaos, the Guardians, Digimon, different universes, The Royal Families, and the Chaos threat that is to come in four years. "If what you said is true, then who is the Guardian to this universe," Jiraiya then smirks, and Tsunade never like that look on his face.
"Naruto and I, of course,"
Unknown Plane
Sword clashes were heard all throughout the cloudy clearing, and shock waves also went through the area. In the air, Tatsuki, Pan, and Goku were fighting a two on one battle. Both Pan and Tatsuki fought against the smirking Goku with all they had, but the Chibi King, haven't even broken a sweat yet. Tatsuki suddenly flew high into the air, and raises both hands into the air. Black ki started forming into her hands, with black lightning lighting the gray sky.
"Panny, get out the way,"Pan not needing to be told twice, flew as fast as she could away from Goku, just as Tatsuki released her attack.
"Dark Lightning Flash," her voice sounded through the area, and she aimed her black lightning infested hands at Goku, and a giant blast of energy shot out of them. The energy blast was black, with black lightning surrounding it, and Goku smirks in response, and prepared his signature move.
"Kamehameha," he shouts, a blue energy wave emitted from his hands. Naturally Goku's attack overpowered Tatsuki's, but she didn't give up. She pushed more power into her attack, she felt her attack slowly being pushed back, and luckily for her Pan decided to help.
"Kamehameha," she cries, her attack combining with Tatsuki's, and the power of their combine attacks, were slowly pushing Goku's wave back. In response Goku, powers up slightly, a white aura engulfing him. His wave then pushed back they're attacks, and both Pan and Tatsuki were engulfed by Goku's wave, a large explosion rocking the area, and both girls fell out of the air unconscious. Goku quickly flew over, and caught the two, and places them next to the sleeping Naruto.
"Alright, whose next?" Goku asks grinning, stretching his arm. Usagi and Takato both walked up. Usagi had abandon her normal clothing, and had settled with a white shirt, blue shorts, with her black boots. Takato also changed his appearance, and had left his goggles by the sleeping Naruto. He now wore a red shirt, black fighting pants, with black boots similar to Usagi's, except his had red lining on them. "Oh, this is going to be fun. Usagi, do you remember how to transform?" Usagi shook her head no, and Goku sighed to himself. "What about you, Takato?" Takato also shook his head.
"I guess,it's up to me, to remind you how," with that he powered up again, and vanished from sight, the two teens following his movements.
Some distance away from them, Urahara, was waiting for Toph, Raven, Nami, Mikoto, and Nao to emerge from the hole they were in. It's almost been three days, since they begun training, and they should be out any time now.
'I'm so bored, I wonder when these five will come out of there,' no sooner as he thought that, spiritual pressure erupted from the hole, driving Urahara to his knees. 'Maybe having all five of them go at once, wasn't one of my brightest ideas,' he chuckles, slowly rising to his feet. He smiles slightly watching each of them exit the whole they were in and couldn't help but be impressed with their level of power.
"Damn this mask is annoying," the cat mask hollow said, before she grabbed it and ripped it off her face revealing the smirking Nao.
"Your telling me," this hollow mask resembled a shark, when the user pulled it off, Nami's frowning face was seen.
"I'm hungry," the female behind the darker, more malicious looking cat hollow mask said. Breaking her mask with her zanpakuto, Mikoto stood, stretching her limbs.
"When are you not hungry?" the raven masked hollow questions sarcastically. A dark energy watches over the mask slowly, then yanks it off, revealing a scowling Raven.
"Cut her a break, I'm hungry too," came the irritated reply on a normal masked hollow, who had many black tribal like markings on it. Smashing it with her fist, Toph's glaring face was seen, glaring into Raven's annoyed purple eyes.
"Good, your all shinigami, now I can work with the others in developing their bankai, while you all can train together," interjects Urahara casually, completely ignoring the glares they were all sending him. To his dismay and pain, he was hit over the head with Mikoto's staff, that appeared from no where.
"Why did you hit me?" the man groans out, rubbing the bump on his head.
"Felt like it," frowns Mikoto, turning to where Goku was fighting off both Usagi and Takato. Urahara sighs mentally and scans over everyone, then frowns, feeling the level of power everyone was at.
'It's going to be awhile, before everyones in shape for Chaos and his men,'
Naruto Universe - Orochimaru's Lair
Explosions went through the current base, Orochimaru was currently residing. The Snake Sennin frowns, his training session with Sasuke coming to a sudden halt. Kabuto who was leaning against the wall, near the entrance of the room, leaps away, just as the doors were shot shot forward by another explosion.
Out of the smoke, to Sauske's surprised, was Hyuga Hinata, with three others. The first was her digimon, who was grinning madly, her sword shining brightly. Next to her, was a girl around twenty, she had long strawberry blond hair, cold green eyes so cold, it sent a shiver through Sasuke and Kabuto. She was dressed in a black battle kimono, a red dragon decorating it, circling from the back to the front, so its head was baring fangs, as if it was going to bite her right breast. Strapped to her waist was a katana with a red cloth linked to the hilt. Next to her holding, looking bored at everything was the gray-haired boy, from Chaos's Lair and when Hinata recruited Naraku into their group.
These two were; Sonsaku Hakufu and Aoi Hyomaru, one forced into working with Chaos, the other loyal without question.
"Orochimaru," Hinata greets eerily. "Its an honor to finally meet one such as yourself," the sennin frowns at the girl, wanting more than anything to kill her, but something stopped him from doing so, he didn't know what, so he stayed put.
"No Hyuga, the honor is all mine," the snake casually replies. "Mine telling me why you're here, I doubt it is to join my ranks, is it to return Sasuke to Konoha,"
"Don't insult me Orochimaru, I can care less about the Uchiha and Konoha," spat Hinata venomously. The shadow markings under her eyes growing darker. "I am here to offer an alliance, my master Chaos, wishes for you to join him in his goals, in return, he will give you what you desire most...immortality,"
The sennin's eyes widens hearing this. Immortality, its what he needed, to be able to achieve his dream of learning every jutsu in existence. That is why he needs Sasuke's body, his eyes are the key to that, but if what this girl was saying is true, then he could have even more power, by having both Sasuke's body and immortality.
"And who is this Chaos you speak of?" the ninja questions, eying them all.
"Master Chaos is in his realm. You can meet him, if your accept his offer," casting her eyes on Sasuke, she glares darkly at the Uchiha. Sasuke, stared her down, not all effected by her glare. To prove his superiority, he activates his sharingan, blasting her a full dose of his killing intent. To his dismay, the girl barely flinched at it, just before she activated her Byakugan, releasing even more killing intent then he released. Sasuke barely battered an eye at the massive killing intent, but he was inwardly surprise feeling it from the girl he had passed off, as weak and shy.
"Before I agree, I wish to test the strength of one of the people with you, to see if its really worth joining your Master,"
"Chose who you wish to battle Orochimaru,"
"The girl, wearing the kimono, I wish for her to battle Kabuto,"
"The name is Sonsaku Hakufu, remember it Old Man," sneers Hakufu, stepping forward, an intense aura of power releasing from her body as she did
"Such tactics does not intimidate me," announces Kabuto, also stepping forward, his hands covered in green chakra.
Without warning, Kabuto charges, preparing to cut the tenons in Hakufu's throat. This however wasn't meant to be, as Hakufu's hands shot out, forming a green ki shield, negating the attack, and repelling Kabuto's body back into a wall with a bang. Rushing at the down Kabuto, ki formed in Hakufu's hand, slashing with it, a green energy shot slash shot out of her hand, ripping through the wall, Kabuto was previously at. Appearing behind Hakufu, Kabuto's hand shot through the girl's neck or what he thought was her neck, but was merely an afterimage, making his eyes widen in shock.
'What? Where?'
Kabuto's question was answered, when a foot connected with his chest, sending him crashing through multiple pillars. Cracking open his pain filled eyes, he saw Hakufu running in sync with his flying body. The girl leaps into the air with a flip, delivering a massive, rib breaking, ax kick to his chest, sending him down to the ground unconscious, blood leaking from his mouth.
"The Great Sonsaku Hakufu wins again," the girl shouts in excitement, the blackness of her eyes fading slightly, until a black surge of electricity ripped through her body, in and out, the shadows returning full force. In a zombie-like daze, she walks back to where Hinata and Hyomaru were waiting patiently.
"Are you satisfied Orochimaru?" Hinata questions leering at him.
"I am, who is this girl,"
"Sonsaku Hakufu," snarls Hakufu, her eye flashing green.
"Sonsaku Hakufu, she is a very powerful woman, someone not even the greatest of ninja would want to anger," was Hinata's calm reply.
"I'm curious, why have you left Konoha?" Orochimaru questioned.
"I will not answer that question," Hinata said lowly, the markings under her eyes fading slightly. "Grab what you need, we leave in five minutes," Orochimaru left with a now conscious Kabuto to gather some important materials, leaving Sasuke with Hinata, Hyomaru, and Hakufu.
"Hows the dobe?" the Uchiha asks, staring blankly into Hinata's equally emotionless eyes.
"I don't know anyone by that name Uchiha," the shadows under her eyes grew unnaturally dark, a black hue appearing beneath them.
"Uzumaki Naruto, how is he?" grits out Sasuke, not in the mood for games, also for some reason, not wanting to anger the Hyuga Heiress. Maybe it was fear, but that thought was absurd, him, fearing Hyuga Hinata, that was a laugh, but unlike when he knew her, she had an unnatural aura of death and destruction around her, something that was foreign to her naturally, calm and peaceful nature.
"Sometime after the mission to retrieve you, he was ran out of the village, the village declared him dead, and celebrated his leaving for awhile. I however knew different, and went out searching for him in the surrounding universes with no luck," her voice was low and deadly.
Listening to Hinata speak about all she knew what Naruto may be going through, Sasuke knew his former teammate would be a force to be reckon with, and knew he would have to train even harder to defeat him, for the battle he knew would be coming in the near future.
'Naruto, you just continue growing don't you...I won't allow you to surpass me in power,' Sasuke thought darkly, the curse seal on his neck pulsating in agreement.
Sailor Moon Universe
Setsuna stared at Princess Kakyuu in worry, she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"The Starlights...have been taken captive?" Setsuna said in disbelief. "This is most troubling, so many warriors captured by the enemy,"
"How many have been captured?" Sailor Galaxia questions, from her poistion in a tree, her long orange hair, that faded into red blowing in the wind.
"A total of nine if you include your warriors Kakyuu-hime," answers Pluto.
"Which warriors?" Kakyuu asks softly, her eyes betraying the calmness of her voice.
"Tokiha Mai, the Princess of Mars, Shana the Princess of Mars, Sonsaku Hakufu, the King's younger sister, also a Princess of Jupiter, Kuga Natsuki, a Wolf Guardian to Subaru, the Princess of Uranus, Hyuga Hinata, the one who wields the Swords of Life and Death, Yagami Taichi, the reincarnated son of the Nidama Clan on Mars, and the Starlights,"
"All of them...this...this is not good for anyone. Including if they have the girl who carries those two swords," mumbles Galaxia.
"Dangerous I know, but the Guardians are all preparing for Chaos, the others in their very own universes are also preparing, we must do the same, come with me so we can plan accordingly,"
Opening a portal to the Guardian Domain, Setsuna walks through, Galaxia and Kakyuu following after her.
Naruto Universe
Konoha
Ninja around the village, trained day and night vigorously on orders of the Hokage. No one knew why they were training other than they were preparing for war, for who exactly, they didn't know, but knew it was something dangerous, feeling something off in the air. The aura in the air felt dark and malicious, some thought it was Orochimaru, others believed it to be another Kyuubi, but no, it was the coming of a terrible war, a war none of them may survive.
The Konoha Twelve turned Nine, with their sensei were training to the point of exhaustion, trying to push pass their natural limits.
Team 10 trained in mostly team attacks, and strategic maneuvers. Separately they trained in their clan attacks, with their sensei training in manipulating his own techniques to a greater degree.
The remaining members of Team 8, also trained in clan techniques, including their taijutsu, so they train with Team Gai to improve, who were monsters compared to the other teams training, thanks to Gai and his ridiculous training routines.
Team 7, or what was left of them, trained mostly in the Forest of Death with Mitarashi Anko, or when they could train together, thanks to Sakura taking lessons from Tsunade, who made Sakura her apprentice, with Ino and Tenten taking a lessons from Shizune, for future uses whenever their own teammates were down.
The Academy were teaching less book work, and more practical things, like survival, jutsu, taijutsu skills, anything a genin up to a chunin would know, making the village that much stronger, and more prepared for the future.
Other Kage and other ninja village leaders knew of the threat to their world, and were making their own preparations, with good intentions or bad, depending on how you look at it.
Sailor Moon Universe
Earth
Haruka fists connected hard with the ground, a large fissure going through it. Hotaru and Rei who were on the receiving in of the attack, leaps into the air avoiding following into the trench created by the blond. Reaching out for Hotaru, Rei threw the girl towards Haruka with a snap, sending her flying like a rocket. Gathering power into her right arm, Hotaru punches Haruka in her face, sending the blond skidding across the ground, a bruise forming on her left cheek.
"Nice punch, but you have to do better," lectures Haruka, appearing next to Hotaru in an instant, punching her back in the face, sending her crashing across the ground, tumbling and rolling like a bundle of heap, straight into a tree knocking her out.
Rei seeing this, appeared next to the down girl to check her condition and sighs deeply, seeing her just unconscious. Propping her up against a tree, she charges Haruka once more, her fist covered by blue flames.
Smirking, wind wraps around Haruka's fist, she too charging, intent on defeating Rei, a girl she sparred with countless times in her past life.
Fist connecting, a large explosion rocked the area, a tower of blue fire shooting through the sky, the winds in the area blowing wildly.
Not too far away from those three, Makoto and Minako sparred in the air, lightning and light based attacks lighting the night sky. Some distance away, Michiru and Ami sat on a pond, having a battle between minds, with Mamoru sitting on a large rock pillar, meditating connecting with the planet, trying to see through its eyes.
Tamers Universe
Digital World
Renamon and Ruki both fought off countless rookie-level digimon. Ruki having a much harder time than her partner, who was easily defeating them, but was steadily improving. Breathing heavily, Ruki kicks a digimon in his head deleting it, much to her surprise.
Jenrya and Terriermon were fighting their own digimon, Jenrya fairing more better than Ruki, knowing martial arts, making him better at dodging and countering than his friend.
The other tamers, sans Juri were all there as well, training to become stronger, even Shuichion who wouldn't take no for an answer, came anyway to train.
Not too far away, watching them closely was Asanuma Nami, Takato's mother from the past, smiling softly at the children, who somehow managed to enter and leave the digital world freely, to help prepare for the Chaos and their friend's return. Sighing, the woman turns to her unconscious daughter, who was being watched over by her partner. Rubbing her head, she snaps her fingers and the wounds on Kari's body fully heal and she awakens.
"Time to begin again Hikari,"
Bleach Universe
Earth - Urahara's Shop
Yoruichi watches Ichigo sword fight with his two sisters, who were attacking him head on, having awaken their own powers days earlier. From her eyes, she could tell the boy was having a hard time fending them both off, it didn't help that Hiyori was attacking him from behind, and with Keigo and Mizuru firing multiple kido blasts at him.
'Maybe I should call Soifon down her to train with, we all have to prepare,'
Grinning, the woman watches Karin knee Ichigo in his gut, and Yuzu kick him in the face, knocking him to the ground, getting fried my multiple attacks from Keigo and Mizuru. Turning to her right, she saw Nel laying peacefully on her back, sleeping soundly, back in her child form, a trail of drool dropping from the corner of her mouth.
'Another strange one,'
Titans Universe
Earth
The Titans were all training, the defeat to Lust and the digimon a few weeks ago really motivated them to train that much harder, including the fact, it was possible their universe may come to an end. Having alerted the league of the threat, they too were preparing, well some were, not all, seeing how they had no proof of such a threat.
But that didn't mean the Titans around the world weren't preparing...because they were, knowing it was true, some being more spiritually aware than others, having felt the darkness in the air.
One Piece Universe
Earth - Thousand Sunny
The Straw Hat Crew sailed through the Grand Line, each doing their own carefree thing, or would have, if it wasn't for the red-haired girl laying in their grass, with a familiar blond-haired girl.
"Your the two who were with Nami," Luffy said, staring at Will and Izumi.
"Ah, thats us, we came to talk about the future of your world, and what you can do to prepare," Will said, staring Luffy in his eye.
"How can we prepare Ms. Guardian," Will's eyes snap towards Robin, who was staring knowingly at her.
"I'm no Guardian," Will said, figuring Robin meant Guardian like Universe-Guardian, not, Element-Guardian.
Robin hums softly, turning back to her book, her smile never fading.
"To prepare, just do what you can to ensure the survival of your world. Gather trustworthy allies, this place isn't safe from the Chaos, especially with Nami off training. I admit, this is one of the strongest domains, but also one of the most dangerous, thanks to the World Government,"
"How do you?" starts Sanji.
"I know a lot having to do with your world, seeing into the past or the future is no problem for me," the girl explains. "The World Government is the major obstacle of this world," she stares each of the Straw Hats in the eyes. "The Straw Hats are powerful. I have no doubt you'll accomplish your dreams, but with the Chaos attacking the many worlds, and being close friends to Nami, you'll be primary targets to the Chaos and its followers," a red portal opens behind Will, once she snaps her fingers. "As I said, gather allies, people you know who'll fight the good fight against the enemy, for the survival of this place, its going to need all the help it can get...I wish you all luck...lets go Izumi," Will walks through the portal, Izumi following close behind her, the portal closing behind them.
"Orders Captain," Zoro asks, staring at the scowling Luffy.
"We'll do what we have to do when the time comes," Luffy answers, entering the kitchen to finish eating his meal.
Avatar Universe
Earth - Ba Sing Se - Iroh's Tea Shop
"Your sayin that the Blind Girl is training to fight against those black creatures and those demons who attacked us the other day, with many others," the new Fire Lord, Zuko questions.
"Thats right, the Heartless and the demons, all work under Chaos, a terrifying being with even more power than all the Avatars put together," explains Aang
"And Toph supposed to go up against this powerful force?" a skeptic Sokka questions, the woman sitting in a chair across from Zuko, her son.
"Correct, she and the other Guardians, the Royals, and all others who can, will be fighting against the Chaos and its army," the woman said, calmly drinking tea.
"Who're the Royals?" questions Katara, staring at the former Princess.
"The Royals are beings who are brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and or cousins to the Guardians in anyway. Should they be reincarnated, they are still considered a Royal, but some of the children, if they should have children, may or may not be a Royal. To identify if the child is a royal or not, a special energy is within them, that the parent is able to identify on birth. After that, the power locks away, deep with the soul of that child, only to be awaken by that Royal Parent," pausing Ursa drinks more of her tea, annoying everyone, except for Iroh, who too took this time to drink. Sighing in content she continues. "Every one is capable of reincarnating, everyone has a previous incarnation. The Avatar has the Avatar Line, while everyone else has one, two or three past incarnations. Anyone who was a Royal are existing now, that includes all of you in this room, anyone of you could be a Royal,"
"How do you know all this?" Mai asks, staring intently at the smiling woman.
"Because I too, am one of these Royals,"
Dragon Ball Universe
Earth - Look Out
"Your serious Dende?" a disbelieving Gohan asks the Guardian of Earth.
Dende had just explained to everyone, once again, why Pan had disappeared and what she was currently up to.
"The brat is with Kakarot and some others training for this thing," spat Vegeta irritably. "The clown and I should be able to defeat this thing without anyones help,"
"I wouldn't count on that," a voice said from behind them. Turning they saw Shizuru and Ryomou Shimei, one calmly drinking tea, the other glaring at each warrior. "I admit, your powerful, but your nothing compared to the Chaos," finishes Ryomou, sighing in irritation.
"Who're you?" demands Vegeta.
"Shizuru, the Demon Guardian to Orimoto Izumi"
"Ryomou Shimei, the Dragon Guardian to Sonsaku Hakufu,"
"Nice to meet you both, welcome to this universe," greets Dende.
"Thank you, its a pleasure to meet you as well," Shizuru said, placing down her tea cup, it vanishing in a flash. "Sorry for the interruption earlier, we just came here to check the status of this universe. This place is very powerful, it'll be one of the main places the Chaos will attack, once it gains enough power," the woman comments lowly. "One of the most powerful worlds, quite troubling, but alright,"
"Why is it troubling?" Shizuru glances at Piccolo.
"Even though this place is one of the strongest domains, it holds great villains, the Chaos is able to bring those who he wishes back to life only once. By taking their essence, it could recreate them, and bring them to their side. Unfortunately, this domain's afterlife keeps the bodies of those already deceased, and the Chaos only has to bring them to its side, by bring them back to life, once they die a second time, their entire essence, existence will ceased to exist...permanently,"
"There's a chance that the Chaos," a stun Gohan said.
"Exactly, once they join Chaos's side, they'll gain even more power than they once had. We already have conformation, that the several warriors have disappeared from Hell. One of these people go by the name of Broly,"
"Broly?" a worried Gohan said, not liking this at all.
"Yes Broly, the Legendary Super Saiyan, has been revived once again and is working directly under the Chaos and from our sources, he's seems to be unstoppable, but I'm sure Hakufu can beat him, once she comes to her senses," Ryomou mumbles the last part under her breath. "What you all need to do is prepare, train, do what you need to do to ensure the perseverance of this universe,"
A purple portal appears behind the two women.
"Don't worry about Pan-chan, she's quite the firecracker, she won't let anything stop her, especially with that one will always be around her," Shizuru releases a small laugh, as she walks through the portal. Ryomou grunts, she too walking through the portal, it closing behind her.
"We have a lot of work to do guys," Trunks said, breaking the silence.
"Shut it brat and meet me in the Gravity Room," orders Vegeta, flying off the Lookout, the others leaving as well, to do their own training to prepare for the threat.
Guardians Domain
Sitting in the conference room, were; Jiraiya, Selenity, Sailor Pluto, Sailor Galaxia, Princess Ursa, Queen Kakyuu, Anna, Ryoko, Shizuru, Ryomou, Urahara, Asanuma, Yumemiya Arika, Kagome with Shippo on her shoulders, Kagura, who stood behind Ryoko, and Nanoha Takamachi, with Fate Testarossa and Hayate Yagami, who had the Wolkenritter, standing behind her.
"Quite the crowd," Jiraiya said, eying every woman in the room, except for Selenity who was his daughter, Anna who would kill him, Arika who was a sixteen year old girl, and Vita who was a little girl.
"Cut the crap Old Man," demands Ryoko, glaring at Jiraiya. "Hows the status of the Guardians?"
"Three months has passed since the Guardians have all gathered," responds Jiraiya, losing his previous demeanor, and replacing it with a serious one. "Once they gathered, they begun training with Urahara and Goku. Having learned everything they could from Urahara in a span of one month, they are currently focusing on hand to hand combat with Goku, slowly conditioning their bodies and relearning everything they forgotten about fighting,"
"Hand to Hand Combat? Is Tatsuki still the...well...best in this combat?" questions Ryomou.
"Yes, but the Pan and Usagi is slowly reaching her level, which isn't pretty good compared to her father's," answers Selenity.
"Ranks of Strength, who is the strongest?" Jiraiya frowns at Asanuma's question, but answers.
"Naruto, who is still in a coma is the strongest,"
"That lazy bum is still sleeping?" an irritated Anna demands. Jiraiya nods, not willing to show his fear to the wrathful women or girl.
"And Raven, is she able to control her powers?" Kagome asks, seeing how Ryoko wasn't willing to speak about her daughter.
"A bit emotionless, but yes, she's able to control her powers," answers Urahara, whipping out a fan from nowhere, earning a bump on the head from Anna with a metal fan.
"Takato, is his anger..." she didn't need to finish, as Urahara immediately answered.
"The kid has issues," ignoring Asanuma's glare he continued. "Whenever your name or your daughter name is mention, from what I can tell, it triggers a memory, sending him in a rage. Luckily, its only brief, and Usagi, Tatsuki, Pan, or the sleeping Naruto is able to calm him down before he does anything crazy,"
"How does Naruto help?" Kagome asks, remembering the blond boy, who always came over to play with Hotaru when Raven passed, the two forming a bond, just as strong as the one Hotaru formed with Serenity who always came over in her free time.
"Its odd, he talks in his sleep, saying some random comment about a pineapple-haired girl or some other mysterious girl, completely knocking him to his senses. He says other things, mostly about the pranks he, Subaru, Will, Izumi, and Takato pulled on your oldest daughters, some others including; Haruka, Michiru and Nami," the others except chuckle lightly, remembering the pranks the children used to do, or those who could remember chuckled.
Shippo in the meantime, was sniffing the air, he didn't know what it was, but he smelt something familiar, something he hadn't smelt since he was a young kit.
"Shippo whats wrong?" whispers Kagome.
"I smell something familiar, something that makes me happy, yet sad at the same time...but I can't recognize who the scent belongs to," he whispers back, scanning the room no longer being subtle about his actions. "Its getting closer," Kagome frowns wondering what he was smelling, when a powerful, overwhelming demonic aura washed over her senses. Kagome knew instinctively who it was, and turns to the door, just as it opens, revealing a beautiful woman.
The woman had long red hair, her red eyes glanced at everyone in the room, until they landed on Shippo, freezing him. She was dressed in a black and red kimono, a red obi sash, with a katana strapped to her waist in a red scabbard, the hilt and guard were completely black. But what made her stand out was her cat-like eyes, the red fox ears, and the nine swinging tails, attached to her backside.
"Yo guys, its been awhile," Kyuubi greets smiling, revealing her fangs.
"Gah, Kyuubi its you," growls Asanuma in annoyance.
"Oh, you know ya miss me Nami," Asanuma grunts and turns away from the smirking woman. Kyuubi walks to one of the empty seats, which was conveniently placed right across from Kagome. "What're all talking about?"
"The Guardians," answers Ryoko.
"Ah, they're still training from what I know," the demon blinks then smiles scratching her cheek. "Oh and Naruto awaken sometime ago,"
"How long ago?"
"About an hour," answers Kyuubi, staring tiredly at the scowling Anna. "What do you know about our enemies?"
"Other than the Chaos, we have these people here," Jiraiya opens up a holographic image of the Houmonculi. "The Seven Homunculi of Chaos; Envy, Lust, Wrath, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, and Pride," he changes the image, to the next one. "The Akatsuki; Uchiha Itachi, Hoshigaki Kisame, Deidara, Sasori, Zetsu, Hidan, Kakuzu, Pein, Konan, and Uchiha Madara," everyone studied the ninja on the hologram, until it was switch. "Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, plus the entire Sound Village," he shows them the images of the Snake Man and Kabuto, earning a growl from Kyuubi. "Hebi; Uchiha Sasuke, Hozuki Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo," each of them stared at the teenagers in the photo, and Arika had a small blush, when she saw Sasuke, earning a smack from Anna. "Sosuke Aizen, Ichimaru Gin, Tosen Kaname, and the Arracnar, plus Espada," the images of the men and women on the screen were memorized by everyone. "The World Government that resides in Princess Nami's assign universe," once they passed he went to the next one. "Percia Testarossa, Alicia Testarossa and her team," Fate's eyes widen watching her mother, and her older sister appear on the screen with four other people. "Princess Azula of the Fire Nation," Ursa's eyes widen, seeing the image of her daughter firebending, wearing a black and red costume, bending blue flames from her hands, an insane glint in her eyes, along with a dark shadow beneath them. "The Princess of Mars, Tokiha Mai," Mai appeared, wearing a high collar black cloak, the shadows under her eyes were completely black, a black hue forming from them. "The Wolf Guardian, the Animal Guardian for, The Princess of Uranus, Subaru, Kuga Natsuki," the blue-haired woman was dressed in identical clothing as Mai, her shadow much lighter than Mai's. "The Princess of Mars, Shana," the girl was dressed in her customary black trench coat, shirt, pants, and shoes. Her sword was swung over her shoulders, a manic grin on her usual smirking face. The shadows under her eyes were much darker than her older sister's. "The Heir to the Nidama Clan, Yagami Taichi," Asanuma's eyes widen, not knowing this little piece of information, seeing her nephew standing, a cold glare on his face, his sword held in his hand, over his back. "The wielder of the Swords of Life and Death, Hyuga Hinata of the Hyuga Clan, from the Universe Naruto and I were residing in," Kagome stares intently at the Hyuga, who was in a stance with her two swords. Her eyes were cold, and her scowl spelled death, along with the purple aura around her black cloaked body. "Princess Sonsaku Hakufu of Jupiter, the King's sister," Ryomou scowled, seeing her friend wearing a black kimono, a green dragon design on the front, a sword in her hands. Her eyes were green, resembling cat's, and they were cold, not the warm and carefree expression they were know for. The shadows under her eyes were dark, but nowhere as dark, as Mai's or Shana's. She also had a spiked collar around her right arm, it releasing a black electrical charge every few seconds.
"Broly," everyones, except for Jiraya's eyes widen at the super muscular man, who seemed to be missing his pupils. "Aoi Hyomaru," the white-haired boy was scowling, two familiar swords attached to his waist.
"Those are the Royal Swords of the Moon," a stun Shizuru said.
"Correct, this is the boy who killed Naruto in his past life, stealing his swords," explains a solemn Jiraiya, who changed to the next person.
"Hiro Arashi, I'm sure you remember him Ryoko," the woman nods. "Yea, he was Raven's best friend," Ryoko stares at the picture wondering why he was evil. Knowing what she was thinking he explained. "This is the child who killed Raven and...you know the rest,"
The air in the room shifted, everyone present felt a cold chill run down their spines, and Shippo clutched tightly onto Kagome, who was staring at Ryoko in fear.
Ryoko's hair was slowly turning purple, her eyes changed into a menacing red, two magentana stripes appeared on both of her cheeks, and her fangs became more pronounce. A deathly purple aura surrounded her whole, tinges of black and red were in her flaring aura. Before Ryoko could do anything she may regret, Kyuubi was instantly behind her, whispering soothing words in her ear, arms wrapped protectively around her, slowly calming her, until her appearance returned to normal.
"Thanks Kyu,"
"No problem, Yoko,"
"Kotone, this is the girl who killed Princess Pan and Princess Tatsuki, and almost took the life of Princess Makoto," Urahara's eyes narrow at the sight of the girl. The silver haired girl, she wore two of the Jupiter Family necklaces around her neck. Not to mention the sword in her hands was the one made specially for Tatsuki so long ago.
"Suza Eri, the girl who pushed Princess Hotaru over the edge, resulting in her long term sleep," it showed a red-haired girl, her cutlass in hands, smirking largely. Ryoko glared hatefully into the girl's eyes, promising if Hotaru didn't get to her first, she would.
"Zeke and Isane," a boy with short brown hair is shown, his green eyes had a leering effect to them, resembling a snake. He like the others were dressed in a black cloak. The girl looked exactly like him, except her hair was longer and she had a sword, a very familiar pitch red sword attached to her waist, while her brother had a red and black katana. "Thse two are the ones who took the lives of Prince Takato and Princess Hikari,"
Nami stares hard at the twins, her eyes flashing red, but nothing else shows that she's angry.
"Gloria," a woman with long blue hair, a long green bang falling between her green eyes. She looked to be around twenty years old, and she was also dressed in a high collar black cloak. "This woman killed Princess Nami, Princess Toph, Princess Subaru, and Princess Izumi, she also almost took the life of Princess Michiru and Princess Haruka,"
The next person revealed, made Setsuna's eyes flash purple in anger.
"Hyten," a boy who looked to be in his early twenties stood there, a large double sided blade in his hands. His short black hair was spiked, and his brown eyes had a lazy gleam in it, he too wore a cloak, but his was open, revealing his well toned chest.
"He killed Princess Akira, her Guardian, the Fox Guardian; Midori, the other Fox Guardian; Arika, who was to be Setsuna's Guardian," Arika cringes remembering her death. "And almost killed Setsuna herself,"
"Phantom," he's a figure completely covered by his cloak, complete by a white theater-type mask, only revealing his blondish-orange hair. Like the others he wore a cloak, and he had two swords attached to his back. "This man wiped out the entire Nidama Clan of Mars, Hitama Clan of Mars, Iyama Clan of the Moon, Fiore Clan of Jupiter, and Ozutaru Clan of Uranus. He also killed Princess Mai, Princess Shana, Princess Emerald, the Dragon Guardian; Ryomou, the Demon Cat Guardian; Nao, the Cat Goddess; Mikoto, the Wolf Guardian; Natsuki, the Demon Guardian; Shizuru, the Angel Guardian; Ichigo, the Water Guardian; Cassidy, the Crystal Guardian; Aysa, the Void Guardian; Louise," Jiraiya pauses taking a quick breath, while everyone else stared at the image of Phantom in worry. "High Priestess or Princess; Kiyone, the woman known as the Librarian, Head Shaman; Anna," the girl in questions glares at Jiraiya. "Demon Blade; Ursa of Earth, also known as the Princess of Earth, sister of the King, Demon Arts Master; Nanoha, Hayate and Fate. He heavily damaged Kyuubi, forcing her to enter a long slumber, almost killed; Princess Ami, Princess Minako, Princess Rei, Princess Makoto, Princess Setsuna, Princess Kakyuu, and her bodyguards; Fighter, Healer, and Maker," Kakyuu frowns, knowing what happened.
"Naraku and The Sailor Starlights; Fighter, Healer, and Maker, otherwise known as; Seiya Kou, Yaten Kou, and Taki Kou," the images display the senshi in their Senshi Forms and the Human Forms, earning another blush from Arika and another smack from Anna.
"Shit, that Phantom guy is a real bad ass to kill all those people," snickers Ryoko, earning glares from everyone in the room, making her raise her arm in dismissal. "I was just joking, but seriously, this Phantom...he's a monster to be able to kill everyone. Hell, even I can't defeat the Librarian or Anna without transforming and thats a pain in the ass to do,"
"Phantom is a monster, no doubt about it," Hayate said, shivering remembering her own death. "But what frightens me, is that Chaos managed to gather so many of our warriors and that Hyuga-girl,"
"Its a horrifying thing, but there's nothing we can do about that now," quickly interjects Selenity. "What we can do, is issue warnings to the Guardians, their trainers, and our allies about our foes. Arika-chan, Hayate-chan, Kagome-chan, Father, Pluto and Shizuru, do you mind sending out warnings to the others?"
"You can count on me," Arika said, smiling widely, taking the white rectangular pamphlet-like device from the woman. The others took their devices, and left through the door, to deliver their messages.
"You know, Naruto isn't going ta like Hinata is his enemy," Kyuubi suddenly said.
"Usagi shall be the same, once she finds out the fates of the Starlights," adds Galaxia.
"But we shouldn't keep it from them, they'll find out sooner or later, and I believe now is the best time," Fate said, her fingers interlocking.
"Instead of later, I know," Selenity said, she too frowning.
"Kyuubi what you going to do about the fox brat whose tagging along with Kiyone," Kyuubi scowls at the frowning Ryoko.
"I...don't know, but I'll think of something,"
Unknown Plane
Naruto tilts his head to the side, easily avoiding a punch from Takato, and goes through a series of flips, avoiding many spikes from the ground, courtesy from Toph. Pushing off his hands, launching his body in the air, Naruto begins to dodge multiple shadow claws from Raven. Feeling one of the claws grabbing his leg, Naruto shouts as he's swung around in a large circle, then is slammed viciously into a cliff, that appeared out of no where. But when his body connected, it erupted in a cloud of smoke.
"What?" Raven said.
Not a moment later, she felt Naruto's presence behind her.
"Rasengan," he whispers in her ear, making her blush faintly, before she was struck by the attack, sending her spiraling towards a cliff with a bang.
"Wasn't that too much Naruto?" Usagi demands, appearing next to him in an instant. "You could've killed her,"
"Chill out Usa-chan, it was an incomplete rasengan, I wasn't aiming to kill her," explains Naruto. "Besides, tryin to kill Raven, is like tryin to kill Old Man Hokage and Ero-sennin at once...impossible,"
"Glad you think so high of Jiraiya-sama," Nao who too heard the voice, slowly turned, to see the grinning face of Arika.
"Yo everyone," she greets brightly. "Nao-sempai, Mikoto-sama...hi," she waves at the stun Nao and happy Mikoto. "I have a message for you all, from Selenity-sama, its an update on our latest enemies," Goku flies down from his spar with Nami and Pan, the two following after him, seeing Arika there.
"Enemy update?" Nao takes the device from Arika and activates it. Flipping through each person, Nao's eyes narrow further and further, and by the time she was done, her teeth were grinding against one another.
"Phantom huh?" Nao sneers, eyes forming slits.
"Hinata-chan? Sasuke? Thats not possible," a disbelieving Naruto said, his eyes wide.
"Seiya, Yaten, Taki," frowns Usagi, staring at Fighter, who had a dark shadow under her eyes.
"They even have Aunt Hakufu," a disbelieving Pan exclaims, turning to her father or grandfather, it was too confusing for her to remember, so she'll stick with grandfather, who was currently scowling.
"Not to mention Natsuki-san, Taichi-san, and my sisters," adds Takato, his eyes filled with worry.
"You guys said Azula of the Fire Nation right?" asks Toph.
"Yeah, you met her before right?" Toph nods to Nami's question.
"She's crazy, was almost killed a few times by her. She's real tough, wouldn't mind another crack at her," Toph punches her fist for emphasis. "I also wouldn't mind taking another crack at that Gloria-chick, I owe her big time," she stomps the ground, a powerful tremor going through it.
"She'll be mine Toph, she'll be mine to kill," Toph glares where she heard Nami talking from, a glare that said, she was surely joking. Nami turns away from her, focusing on the others, seeing they too were unsettled about the news. "Stop worrying, we know who our enemies are," Nami said. "And the allies we must save," she adds, seeing Naruto's and Usagi's glare. "By training, we can make sure we save them, and defeat the ones we couldn't in the past, this lifetime and last. To accomplish this, means only one thing...no slacking during training or I'll kick your asses and make you pay me for kicking your asses to force you into training, understand," she glares at each one of them. Seeing them all nod, she smiles, and begins training once more, with a total of thirty pounds of weighted clothing on her body.
"Money Fien," Arika and Naruto mumbles under their breath, right before they were smacked by Nami's staff. "Ten dollars from the both of you," Arika and Naruto grumbles and hands over the money.
"Don't even know why I have to pay, I'm not even training with you lot," mumbles Arika pouting.
"Ah, don't be like that Arika, we can get her back later," Naruto smiles a foxy grin at her, something she returns. "Right, but that'll be for later, I have to get back the lair, bye everyone," Arika vanishes in a red flash.
"Time to train," 'I'll save you, Hinata, Sasuke,' Naruto thinks joining Goku, Pan, and Takato in the air for a spar. "I'm joining too Chibi King," Goku's eye twitch at the name, but nods nonetheless, promising to work Naruto extra hard for the name.
One by one the group went to spar in different areas, each preparing for the challenges ahead, for the foes they would need to defeat, and the friends they would need to save. No one needed to tell the Guardians, because they already knew what had to be done.
They would protect their assign universe and each others domains, even at the cost of their lives, it was the way of a Guardian, and it was the way for those, who would protect anything they loved.
Thats it for the Gathering Arc. What Arc is next? Who knows it could be anything. The Dark Arc? or just the time skip, I haven't decided yet, but I will in time, but then again, I am pretty undeceived about most things. Which is why I'm putting up another poll, concerning this subject.
Until the poll is over, the next chapter won't be for awhile, which is why this chapter is so damn long.
