After the capture of Wolf, Kirabi, and the Raikage, the people of the village were silent. No one said a word. Finally, one Jounin summed up what everyone else was thinking. "Just what the hell happened?"

The Rangers couldn't answer. They didn't have anything to say. They were completely stumped. Falcon stepped forward and said "Three people have been kidnapped by the enemy."

Someone else said "What will happen to them?"

Crane said "We don't know. We honestly don't know. This has never happened before. …The only thing I can say is that they were kidnapped because they were a threat to the enemy."

Suddenly, a girl rushed out of the crowd. The girl was dark-skinned, with red hair, golden yellow eyes, small earrings, wearing a black jacket and blue pants. The girl yelled out "What the hell do you mean you don't know! You're the ones who came here, acting like you're the experts on these creatures, our Raikage and his brother get captured and you don't know what'll happen?"

A girl with blonde hair down to her chin, with icy blue eyes, a fishnet shirt under a low cut V-neck shirt, and a short skirt followed the redhead. She grabbed the other girls arm and said "Karui, stop this."

The redhead, named Karui, turned around and said "Samui, how can you keep calm? Kirabi-sensei has been abducted and we have no idea where he is."

Samui said "But yelling at them won't bring him back. They're here to help us. They're guests to our village and we treat guests with the utmost respect. Kirabi would be ashamed if he saw how you were acting right now."

Karui lowered her head so that no one would see her eyes. She was the apprentice of Kirabi, so she thought that if she was seen crying, it would be seen as a sign of weakness. Karui said to Falcon and Crane "Please accept my apology for my outburst."

Falcon just waved it off, saying "You're forgiven."

A guy came out of the mass of Kumo Nin. He had dark skin, short, white, spiky hair, and red eyes. He had a sword strapped to his back with a lollipop in his mouth. He said "Ignoring Karui's outburst, don't you guys have some plan for this abduction?"

Falcon said "We've never had a problem like this. We have to contact our other Ranger."

Falcon and Crane tried. Falcon was able to get through to Wolf, but only for a second. "Kiba, come in. Kiba talk to us, damnit!"

"Naruto, we're-" The link was cut off right there. Falcon and Crane tried again and again, but nothing worked. Their mental connection didn't work if one was either unconscious or on a different planet. Falcon touched his helmet where his temple should be. That part of his helmet had a communicator built in. It worked anywhere in the universe, but it was easier to intercept and jam, and it didn't work if a Ranger wasn't in their Ranger Form. The only thing Falcon could do was hope that Wolf was in his Ranger Form. He said "This is Falcon calling Wolf, come in Wolf. …Wolf, answer me."

Unfortunately, all that Falcon got was static. Crane tried also, but she got the same response. She looked to the people and said "I'm sorry everyone. We couldn't get through to Wolf. Wolf is either off-planet or demorphed."

Kakashi came forward and said "There's nothing you can do?"

Falcon said "We have some stuff at our base. We can try to use it to find them, but it'll take time."

A blonde woman looking older than Samui said "Hurry up then. We need those three back here."

Falcon said "I'm sorry everyone. We'll get them back. I swear to you."

Falcon grabbed a crying Akamaru and teleported away with Hinata. When they got to the Command Center, Naruto grabbed his helmet and took it off. He then threw it clear across the base to hit a wall and fall. Surprisingly, the helmet didn't break.

"Damnit! What the hell happened back there, Hinata?"

"Naruto-kun, calm down."

Naruto turned to her and yelled "Calm down? Calm down? How the hell am I supposed to be calm! I'm the leader of this team. I'm supposed to watch out for the safety of everyone else. 3 people were kidnapped, Hinata. What the hell will I do now? We have no idea where they went and no idea what to-"

Before Naruto could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Takaseirei "How about you calm the hell down!"

That got Naruto to shut up. So far as he knew him, Takaseirei barely cursed. Takaseirei said "Three people are MIA right now Naruto. We don't need you bitching and moaning about 'Oh I wish I could've saved them.'

"You're the leader Naruto. That means when something happens you don't go bitching and blaming yourself, you make a plan to fix it! This ain't any time for laying the blame on yourself. You got a friend missing and you damn sure better find a way to get them back. Now wipe your eyes, hold your head up high, make a plan to get the people back, and execute it dammit!

Besides, you think you feel bad. Think about poor Akamaru."

At Takaseirei's mention of him, Naruto looked over to him to see that Akamaru was lying on his belly with his head in his arms. He looked like he was crying.

Takaseirei continued "Kiba is Akamaru's best friend. Kiba's been there for Akamaru since Akamaru was born. Now Kiba's gone, and Akamaru feels like he lost a part of himself. If anyone has the right to be moping around here, it's him. Now get your head out of your ass and get them back. I swear, I thought I was done with the 'Tommy Syndrome' when I left Earth."

After Takaseirei yelled at them, Naruto hung his head. He said "Sorry." to everyone and quickly left. He went to the Virtual Reality Room and started training, working off some stress.

(With the captives)

Wolf, Kirabi, and the Raikage were carried by the Cyber-Tenga to a plateau out of sight of Kumogakure. When they landed, the three were quickly blasted by the Cyber-Tenga's cannon. The cannon had enough electrical shock to knock them all out. Wolf was able to make contact with his teammates for a second before he was blasted unconscious. The Cyber-Tengas were then teleported away to their temporary base, taking their three captives along for the ride.

Three hours later, Wolf was woken up.

"Wake up. Wake up, damnit!"

Wolf, who was partly asleep, said "I don't have training today, Mom. Leave me alone!"

The Raikage said "Do I sound like your mom, dumbass?"

Wolf bolted in the air, jumped up, and assumed a fighting position quickly. Kirabi said "Calm down. We were knocked unconscious after we were kidnapped."

Wolf sighed as the memories from earlier that day came back to him. He said "Oh, yeah. Now I remember."

Kirabi said "So where are we?"

Wolf said "I don't know. Hold up a second."

Wolf touched one of the ear designs on his helmet, which had a built-in communicator. He said "This is the Wolf Ninjetti Ranger calling the Crane Ninjetti Ranger. Crane, respond." The only thing that Wolf got was static. He tried again. "This is Wolf calling Crane. …Crane, are you there?"

Again, all he got was static. He tried Falcon's but got the same response. He muttered "What the hell is wrong with this thing?"

All of a sudden, he heard a voice say "I think I can answer that."

Turning to where the voice came from, he saw what looked like an albino man. The man had white skin so pale it made Michael Jackson's skin look like Wesley Snipes. He had golden eyes with what looked like purple eyeliner. He wore a weird purple belt around his black pants and tan shirt.

The man said "Greetings. My name is Orochimaru. For a lack of a better title, I am your kidnapper. Thanks to my…business partner, I was able to hook up some technology to this base that made your communicator useless."

The Raikage was suddenly filled with rage. If they were Orochimaru's captives, then that meant that he was working with the Tenga and whoever they served. The Sandaime Hokage's story said that the Tenga were bent on razing their world. He yelled "You traitor! You think this'll hold us? When I get out of here, I'll do what the Sandaime Hokage should've done and skin your scaly ass alive!"

Orochimaru started laughing. He said "That's unlikely. These bars are made of a space metal called Culbrimant. They absorb chakra and many other forms of energy and that adds to their strength. While you were knocked out, they were being charged by my most loyal ninja. Even if the Wolf Rangers' staff is made out of Culbrimant, I doubt you'll be able to cut through these."

Kirabi yelled "Why are we here?"

Orochimaru said "Simple. You Ninjetti Warriors have put our plans behind schedule. With the Blue Ranger being here, we can get rid of one problem in our situation. Kirabi, you are here so we can extract the Biju out of you. We would've taken the Kyuubi no Kitsune's Jinchuuriki, but since the Ninjetti Warriors are so hell-bent on protecting Konoha, we decided to take you.

"Why is the Raikage here? Simple. With the leaders of the Elemental Nations killed, the people will turn to anyone that can lead them. We will easily sweep in and take over the Elemental Nations. When the opportunity presented itself to grab you at Kumogakure, we couldn't let it pass up, could we? "

Wolf narrowed his eyes behind his helmet and said "Too bad for you, you won't get that opportunity. The second we're out of this cell, your head is gonna roll."

Orochimaru laughed outright. "Boy, I seriously doubt you can defeat me. With your team beside you, maybe. But alone, you're nothing. I would stay here to prove the point, but I have better things to do than to argue with some snot-nosed punk. "

With that, Orochimaru left. Kirabi said "Great. Just, fucking, great. Now what do we do? We can't get out of here. Any Jutsu will just power our prison. This sucks. "

Wolf said "Let me try something."

Wolf closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on his teleporting ability. He and Ookamiseirei tried, but they couldn't teleport. Wolf mentally said 'Damn. Why the hell can't we get out of here?"

Ookamiseirei said "The technology they're using to jam our signals must also be stopping teleportation. That might be why it's taking so long for them to use us for whatever they want to use us for. The equipment has to be brought up manually."

Wolf was dejected, but quickly came up with another idea.

Wolf said "There's still one thing I can try. "

The Raikage said "What?"

Wolf said "The other Rangers and I have a telepathic bond between one another. Sadly, it only works if the one you're communicating to is on the same planet as you. If they're on our base on another planet it won't work."

Wolf closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on the other Rangers. Sadly for him, they were on Gamma 4 so he couldn't connect with them. Wolf said "Sorry guys, it looks like we're stuck here."

Kirabi and the Raikage just cursed out loud. Wolf just looked outside through the window in their cell, which didn't have bars on it, but was too small for them to get through. Looking at the hole, Wolf thought 'I bet Akamaru could've gotten through there.'

Wolf stuck his head through it and saw that there was a falcon that was flying above them. Suddenly, he was hit with an awesome idea. Wolf called out to the falcon. Thanks to Ookamiseirei, Wolf was an omniglot. He could speak any language, which included animal language. To him, what he said and what the falcon said sounded like Perfect English. But to the Raikage and Kirabi, Wolf was screeching like a falcon. Wolf said "Hey, I have a huge problem. Can you help me?"

The falcon said "Yes, He Who Runs with Wolves."

Before Wolf could say anything, Ookamiseirei said "Your Ranger Power came from a place called the Morphin' Grid. Somehow, animals are able to sense the Morphin' Grid's energy. They sensed that you're a Ranger, and they will usually help you. Since you can speak to them, they are a lot more helpful than they are to others."

Wolf said "I need you to deliver a message to the other Ninjetti Warriors for me."

The falcon said "I am sorry, He Who Runs With Wolves, but the other Animal Fighters won't understand me."

Wolf said "I know. Can you go out and find a twig for me? I'll have the message ready for you then. Also, could you tell me where I am right now?"

The falcon said "Okay." and took off. When it returned, it had a twig in its beak, like Wolf asked for. The falcon said "As for your location, I believe you call this place the High Mountains of the Land of Mountains, sir."

Wolf then demorphed to his Ninja Form. He took off his gloves and tore off a piece of his blue uniform. He said "Kirabi, let me borrow one of your swords for a minute."

Kirabi took a random sword of his and threw it at Wolf. Wolf caught it and used it to slice his palm. He took the twig and started writing a message on the torn piece of his waited until the blood dried and gave it to the falcon. He said "Thank you, kind falcon. The Warriors should be in Kumogakure no Sato. If you can't sense them there, I want you to deliver this to one of four people."

The falcon replied "What do these people look like?"

Wolf said "There are three men and one woman who could receive the message. The woman has long black hair and naturally red eyes. One guy wears all green, has a bowl cut hairstyle, and usually is yelling. The second guy has silver hair and always keeps his left eye closed up. The last guy is a chain smoker so if you need to know where he is, just follow the smell. They are all Jounnin of Konohagakure no Sato and I trust them to pass the message on to the Ninjetti Warriors. "

The falcon replied "There is a problem, He Who Runs with Wolves. I am fast, but at my current speed, it would take me several days to deliver this message for you. By that time, whatever the Snake Man has planned for you would have already occurred."

Ookamiseirei said "Maybe I can help you."

Wolf said "How?"

Ookamiseirei replied "You've forgotten about my abilities. One of my abilities is the ability to speak all languages. Another is to…well…for a lack of a better term, "possess" an animal. I can possess this bird and channel my power and will through it. With my power flowing through its' body, the falcon shall become much faster and stronger, making it able to deliver this message faster."

Wolf relayed the conversation to the falcon, and the falcon agreed to go through the process. 5 minutes later, Ookamiseirei's spirit took over the body of the falcon, changing the color of it's' plumage from black, to dark blue.

The bird grabbed the piece of Wolf's uniform, and then took off without another word, moving much faster than it could possibly go without the power of Ookamiseirei. Kirabi said "Now what do we do?"

Wolf said "We wait. Hopefully we can trust the falcon to deliver that message."

(2 Hours later)

After working out in the Virtual Reality Room for an hour, Naruto was bone dead tired. He had used up a lot of energy fighting with the Cyber-Tenga, and even more training. He just wanted to lie down and just rest. But he couldn't. When his mind wasn't preoccupied with fighting, he was thinking about how he let his friends down.

Kiba put his trust in Naruto. Kiba trusted Naruto to lead him in the fight for their planet. Now Kiba was kidnapped and Naruto didn't have a single clue where he was.

Naruto looked at that day as an immense failure. They were supposed to protect the Raikage. Instead, not only does the Raikage get captured, but so does his Jinchuuriki of a little brother AND a fellow Ninjetti Warrior.

What transpired that day started changing Naruto's mind about being a Ninjetti Warrior. How could he lead a team when he could barely pass the Konoha Ninja Academy? Strategy was needed to be a leader. All Naruto did was charge in blindly. He didn't even know all of the Kenjutsu Sword Style that Takaseirei is teaching him.

Just when Naruto was about to dig his grave of pity further, he heard a voice in his head yell "For the love of God, will you SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

Naruto's eyes widened and he freaked out. He mentally said "Who the fuck are you?"

The voice again said "Think dipshit. What other spiritual being besides Takaseirei resides in your body?"

Naruto said "Kyuubi?"

The Kyuubi said "Now you're thinking, dumbass. I was sleeping until your bitch fit woke me up."

Naruto said "What do you want?"

The Kyuubi said "Your bitching woke me up. Since you woke me up, I'm gonna put my two cents into your situation. I've been around for thousands of years kit. I've seen and heard of every Kage you could imagine, and none of them were born the leaders they are. Every leader in history had to work at it. You're an exception to that Naruto."

Naruto said "I'm an exception. But how?"

The Kyuubi said "Boy, I've looked at the memories of your life. You are a natural born leader. Remember when you were 10 and your class had that camping trip in the woods? Iruka assigned the Uchiha, the bug boy, and you to be the captains of your teams.

"Then Iruka told you guys to fend for yourselves in the woods. Who immediately knew what to do? You. Not Weevil Underwood, not Señor Duck Ass, but you. You told the Hyuuga and Dog Boy to go find firewood. You told the Emo Avenger to light a fire. You told Señor Emo's fan girls to set up camp. You told the lazy boy to find fruit while you found animals to eat. You told Fattie to cook it. You took charge of the situation in a heartbeat.

"You can come up with great plans with virtually no time to plan. You are a great leader, but even great leaders fail from time to time. The true hallmark of a great leader is to learn from those mistakes and prevent them from happening again. Now stop feeling sorry for yourself, suck up your tears, and rescue your friend."

Naruto just stood in place dumbfounded. The Kyuubi just gave him a pep talk. Even more than that, the Kyuubi was right. Him wallowing in self-pity wouldn't save Kiba. It would just make the situation worse for him. Now wasn't the time to bitch, it was the time to act.

Naruto said "I can't believe I'm saying this, but thanks Kyuubi."

The Kyuubi said "Yeah, yeah. Now shut the fuck up and let me get back to sleeping."

The Kyuubi went back to sleep, leaving Naruto to go and think of a strategy to save his friend.

(3 hours later)

Crane and Falcon were training against the Jounnin at Kumogakure. They had been really glum about losing their leader and his little brother, so the Warriors tried to take their mind off of it by training.

The Rangers tried, but they just couldn't find anything. They found out that wherever Wolf was, his communicator was being jammed. They couldn't track him anywhere, though. They had been trying to find his signal, but so far no luck.

Just as they were finishing up, they heard a screeching overhead. Naruto used his enhanced vision to see a falcon descending toward them. After closer inspection, he found out it was a Peregrine Falcon, which were found only in some of the highest mountains of Mountain Country. Also, its' plumage was different. Instead of regular black, the plumage was a dark blue. 'What is a Peregrine Falcon doing on this side of the Elemental Nations? '

Naruto's musings were cut short as the Falcon dropped what it was carrying in its' talons. Naruto jumped up to catch the thing. It was a piece of Wolf's uniform!

Looking it over, Naruto found a message written in red.

Dear Ninjetti Warriors,

I have asked for a falcon to deliver this message for me. I, the Raikage, and Kirabi are being held in one of the High Mountains of Mountain Country. This message is written in my blood, so when you find the general area, get my Ninja Wolf to sniff out where we are. I'm hoping you guys find me soon. And come prepared for a fight. Orochimaru is here.

Signed

Wolf Ninjetti Ranger

Falcon turned to the other ninja and yelled out "We found them! We found the others!"

The other Ninja ran over to where Falcon was and Falcon read the message out loud. The other ninja were relieved that they heard that their Raikage was safe. Kakashi said "Mountain Country is on the other side of the Elemental Nations? How are we gonna get there?"

Falcon said "We're not gonna march all the way over there, that's for sure. We're gonna need some way of transport."

Takaseirei said "I think I got it. Naruto, you remember when I told you guys about the Zords that the Power Rangers from Earth used?"

Falcon said "Yeah, what about it?"

Takaseirei said"I think I can call mine back to me. The creator of the Zord was an old friend of mine named Ninjor. He built them in case we spirits ever needed a corporeal way to fight. There were way too many spirits for each one to have their own Zord, so Ninjor made one for each member of the Ninjetti High Council. He kept them on Phaedos, but when the Earth Power Rangers came, they teleported the Zords with them to Earth."

Falcon said "That means that the Zord is on Earth. From what you said, that was on the other side of the galaxy."

Takaseirei said "You don't get it. Ninjor made a connection between us spirits and the Zords. He built in features that can instantly teleport the Zords to us. From what I understand from my last checkup on it, the Earth Power Rangers aren't using it anymore because the power source has been damaged. For some reason, it can only run for 10 minutes before running out of juice. The Rangers had to combine my Zord with other ones so my Zord could feed off their power."

Falcon said "But you said it could only run for 10 minutes before it ran out of juice. How will that let us get to the other side of the Elemental Nations?"

Takaseirei, expecting the question, said "It can't, in its current condition. But the Dragon spirit is our lead scientist and actually helped Ninjor build the zords. He can probably get the Zord operational again."

Falcon said "That would be good. Imagine what we could do if we got the Zords' weapons to work."

Takaseirei said"No Naruto. With just a few of those weapons, you can easily destroy an entire village. Those weapons are too dangerous to be used on this planet and I don't want you using them."

Falcon said "But what about ending this war?"

Takaseirei's voice took a hard tone. He said "Naruto, I want you to swear to me right now, you will never use the weapons on the Zord unless you're fighting another zord and there's no alternative. You wouldn't believe how many times someone on Earth almost died because of a stray attack."

Hearing how serious Takaseirei was about it, Falcon said "Alright Takaseirei, I promise."

Takaseirei said "Good, now teleport yourself to Gamma 4. We'll call the zord there and have Dragon work on it."

Falcon said "I got one more question? Are you sure it can carry all these people?"

Takaseirei replied "It can't. It can only take a few people at the most. They're gonna have to decide who's gonna go and who won't?"

Falcon turned to the Ninja and said "Guys, I have transportation to where they're being held, but I can only take a few. Who's gonna go with us?"

Kakashi said "I think we should go with you two."

One of the Jounnin of Kumo said "Why should you go? This isn't even your village."

All of a sudden, everyone started yelling over each other, all eager to go. Eventually Falcon yelled "QUIET!" And got everyone to shut the fuck up.

Falcon said "It's gonna take a while for me to get the transportation here. While I'm gone, you'll have to decide whose going and who isn't."

Falcon teleported himself to Gamma 4. Looking around, he found Dragon sitting in a chair watching something on TV. The fact that Dragon actually had green hair in his human form still distracted Naruto, even though he's seen Dragon's human form a lot. Naruto went over to Dragon and told him Takaseirei's plan. Dragon said "I always wondered what happened to those Zords. No matter, I'll help you."

Takaseirei then appeared next to Naruto in his human form and teleported Naruto to a different part of the base. This part of the base was empty. When Naruto asked Takaseirei about it, Takaseirei said "We built it in case we ever needed the room. Now, stand back a little bit Naruto."

Naruto took a small step back. 20 feet above him, a wormhole opened up in the sky. The wormhole was completely white. Out of the wormhole came what looked like a mechanical white falcon. The thing had a wingspan of at least 200 feet. From tail to beak, it was at least 100 feet. The thing was massive, and if what Takaseirei said was true, very powerful.

Takaseirei said "Naruto, I want to introduce you to my pride and joy, the Falconzord. This baby can do a maximum speed of 300 miles an hour, and has enough firepower to turn Konohagakure into rubble."

Naruto said "This can carry us to the Land of Mountains."

Takaseirei said "It can, but not right now. Bringing it here drained all of it's' power. Now, we need to let Dragon work on it."

Takaseirei and Naruto teleported out of their new Zord bay, leaving Dragon to work in peace.

(With Wolf)

Wolf, the Raikage, and Kirabi had been thinking of ways to get out of their cell for a while now. Unfortunately, they didn't think of anything. They tried to attack the walls, but they were made of Culbrimant also. They were painted like brick to give a false sense of hope.

Wolf kept brainstorming on ideas for hours, before one hit him. Literally. He was bored, so he morphed into his Ranger Form, trying to practice a little with his Bo Staff. When he swung his Bo Staff too hard, it whirled around and hit him upside the head.

Wolf turned to the Raikage and said "I think I found a way for us to get out of here."

At the Raikage's interested look, he said "Your brother is a Jinchuuriki, right? So he must have a massive amount of chakra. The end of my Bo Staff can absorb chakra! If we can pump my staff with enough chakra, we might be able to cut through the bars."

The Raikage said "When do we do it though? Who knows when Orochimaru will get back? We don't know how long it will take Kirabi to charge your staff, and we don't know how long it can keep the charge. We have to do this at a precise time, otherwise we're screwed."

Wolf said "But at least we have an idea out of this damn place! From what I saw before, we're about 30 feet up from the ground. If we can blow this wall up, we can run down the wall and reach the mountainside. Then we can just run for it."

The Raikage said "But you're forgetting that we're in the Land of Mountains. The Land of Lightning is on the other side of the Elemental Nations. How do you suppose we get there? And Orochimaru's bound to have sentries all around this base just in case we decide to run."

Wolf replied "Orochimaru's lackeys are just cannon fodder, we can beat them easily. We just need to get far enough away so that this place won't jam my signal. Then I can teleport us out of here."

The Raikage said "If we can find out where that technology is we can just break it and have you teleport us out of here too."

The Raikage's statement had given Kirabi an idea. Kirabi rapped "Wolf can take over other animals like he did the falcon; they can scout around the building to see where the jamming's happening."

Wolf said "That's not a bad idea. Give me a little time. I can probably get a few falcons to search this area."

Wolf called to two falcons and asked them to search the area. They were happy to do it, seeing as he was a Ninjetti. Unfortunately, they came back with bad news. The jamming device was nowhere outside. They couldn't see where it was at all. So sadly, it was a lost cause.

Wolf said "That was a complete waste of time. Now we're back at square one. "

The Raikage said "Well, we got your plan to fall back on. At least that's some good news."

Back at the Command Center, Dragon was hard at work finishing the Falconzord. Seeing as it was his Zord, Takaseirei didn't want to just sit around and do nothing. He was playing the part of Dragon's errand boy.

Dragon was standing on a ladder detaching and reattaching wires. After 8 hours of work, Naruto, who was sitting by and watching, said "Aren't you guys done yet?"

Dragon said "Almost Naruto. All I have to do is connect this little thing here, and the air conditioning will work."

Takaseirei dropped the wrench he was holding and said "The 'what' will work?"

Dragon said "These Zords were built over a hundred years ago. Advances in science have been made and the Zords must keep up. Besides, the insides of these things can get hot as hell."

Takaseirei said through gritted teeth "What 'advances in science' have you installed?"

Dragon said "Well, I installed an air conditioner, comforters in the seats, wipers for the eyes of the Zord, heated seats, a Pac-Man arcade game, and a Java machine!"

Takaseirei said "And how long did that take?"

Dragon took a thinking pose and started counting off on his fingers. He said "Oh… About 7 hours."

Takaseirei narrowed his eyes and tried to tackle Dragon, but Naruto acted quicker. He grabbed Takaseirei around the waist before Takaseirei could kill Dragon. Dragon just started laughing and said "I'm just joking. I am finished though. Some dumbass cut 20 major power cords. Now that they're fixed, the Falconzord will work perfectly."

Naruto walked over to the Falconzord and hopped on top of it. He entered the trapdoor on the top of the head, and climbed down the ladder to get to the cockpit. Naruto was moving the lever and playing around with the controls, when Takaseirei said in his head "Naruto, maybe you shouldn't play around in the control center of a 50 ton death machine, especially when you don't know how to operate it. Now get out of there. We need to get this thing to Kumogakure right now."

Naruto said "How are we anyway? Even at light speed travel, my home planet is about 3 minutes away. I know that this thing can't travel that fast."

Takaseirei came out of Naruto's body and took his human form. He slapped Naruto in the head and said "How the hell did we get it here? Dumbass."

Naruto embarrassingly said "Oh yeah. I forgot."

Naruto morphed into his Ranger Form and went to Kumogakure. When he arrived, Crane said "They've decided that Kakashi, Gai, and a woman named Yugito will come with us."

Yugito, the blonde from before, said "So how exactly are we gonna rescue Raikage-sama and Kirabi?"

Falcon told everyone to back away. Confused, everyone obeyed his order. When they were far enough away, Falcon and Takaseirei summoned the Falconzord. When the Falconzord landed, Yugito and the other ninja came to inspect it. Falcon said "This is how. We'll take this over to the Land of Mountains and find them."

Yugito said "How can this big contraption allow us to cross all the Elemental Nations?"

Falcon smirked and said "You'll see."

Falcon signaled the others to follow him, and he jumped on to the top of the Zord. The other ninja followed, the jump being an easy task. Falcon opened the trapdoor on top of the Zord and climbed down the ladder, being quickly followed by the other ninja.

When they got to the control center, Naruto said "Now, the rules of the Falconzord are simple. Shut the hell up, don't comment on my driving, and if you touch anything, you will lose a hand."

Naruto set in the seat where the controls were, telling the others to hold on. Activating the controls, Naruto got the Zord to lift off the ground. The other ninja were astounded at what they were seeing. Naruto tilted the controls forward, sending the Zord flying through the air and out of sight.

While on the way, Hinata decided to contact Wolf. "Kiba, where are you?"

Wolf said "Hinata, where are you?"

Crane said "Naruto-kun was able to call the Falconzord from Earth. Dragon-san fixed it for us. We're taking it to come and rescue you."

Wolf said "Where's Akamaru?"

Crane said "Relax, Kiba. He's with us. He's been down ever since you got captured."

Wolf said "That's good. I was worrying about him. How much longer will it be until you guys get here?"

Crane said "We're only a few minutes away."

Wolf said "I have a plan. Tell me when you guys are close."

Crane relayed the conversation to Naruto, who only put more pressure on the controls, urging the Zord to move faster.

When they got there, Crane contacted Wolf. "Kiba, we're here. What's your plan?"

Wolf said "We're gonna break out. I think they have an alarm for if we break out, but if they don't, I'll contact you and tell you. When we break out, you break in."

Crane said "Sounds like a plan."

Wolf turned to Kirabi and said "Kirabi, charge my staff, now!"

The Raikage said "Why?"

Wolf said "The others are here to help us. We need to make a prison break now."

Kirabi grabbed the end of Wolf's staff and started charging it with his energy. The more energy he put into it, the staff started giving off electric sparks. Wolf then told Kirabi to stop, and then turned his attention to the bars. Wolf sliced the bars diagonally, and then made another slice towards the top.

The bars came apart easily, allowing an opening for the three ninjas to get through. As soon as they did though, it caused a loud alarm to go through the building. Panels on the walls of the building started flashing red. Wolf cursed loudly "Damnit! They're on to us. We gotta move now."

Kirabi said "Which way?"

Wolf turned in some random direction and said "This way."

They all went down the hallway, getting lost in the labyrinth of the base.

(With Naruto)

Falcon and Crane had just arrived at the base. Falcon set the Zord on auto-pilot and with the others, went out the trapdoor in the top and jumped towards the base. Landing on the ground, the ninja pulled out their weapons. Before they kicked the door in, they heard a loud alarm. Falcon said "That's the Raikage and the others breaking out. We need to go now."

Gai ran forward, yelled out "Dynamic Entry" and kicked the door in.

The other ninja quickly rushed in. When they went in, the found a bunch of lackeys pulling huge equipment. When the ninja broke the door though, the leader of the lackeys said "We're under attack!"

Before they could stop him, the leader pressed a button a panel. The panels on the wall that were previously flashing red started flashing red, then blue, then red, then blue, and kept going in that pattern.

Falcon said "We don't have time to deal with these people. We gotta take them out quick. "

Falcon pulled out his Falcon Sword while Crane pulled out her Crane Bow. Falcon turned his sword vertically, and said "Slice them to ribbons, Takaseirei!"

Falcon's sword glowed white, while the blade part glowed gold. The sword disintegrated into small petals and flew towards the lackeys. Crane started shooting every lackey she saw. In a matter of seconds, the first room was cleared.

The ninja force broke down a door and took off. Coming to another room, they saw it was filled with Shinobi. Yugito, Kakashi, and Gai jumped forward to attack the ninja. Crane stood back and provided long-range fire. Falcon tried to contact Wolf "Kiba, where are you now?"

Wolf said "I'm…hell I don't know. We just took a random hallway and started fighting anyone in our way."

Falcon said "Damn, same here. That ain't good."

Kiba said "Wait a second. Akamaru and I can find each other. Just stay with him and you'll be fine."

Falcon said "That's good."

Falcon jumped into the battle, helping them take out that room of shinobi. Naruto turned to Akamaru and said "Uhh…wolfy, which way do we go?" Naruto mentally cursed at himself. They didn't think up a nickname for Akamaru! That was so stupid of him!

Akamaru turned his horn and pointed towards a wall. Naruto charged up his sword and yelled out "Judgment Cut!"

The attack sailed forward and blasted through the wall. The ninja went forward, blasting through walls until the eventually met each other. Wolf, the Raikage, and Kirabi were taking out a room of shinobi, when a door busted open and in came Yugito, Kakashi, Gai, and the other Ninjetti Warriors. When they all met, Falcon said "Save the heartfelt reunion for later. Right now, we gotta get our asses out of here. Let's go."

The 8 ninja turned to leave, but there was practically an army in their way. There were 30 Tenga, 3 Cyber-Tenga, Orochimaru, and someone they never met before.

The man looked like a walking skeleton. The left half of his body was colored in army camouflage. He looked to have an army hat on painted the same way his body was. His ribs were shaped to look like a face. He was holding a sword that looked to be made out of bone like him.

Falcon said "So, you finally show your face, Rito Revolto?"

Rito looked at Falcon, tilted his head to the side, and said "Do we know each other? …Wait a minute! You're Tommy's replacement. What was your name again? …Oh, who cares? You Power Brats all sound the same to me. How about we stop the chitchat and fight? You ready, Voldemort?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and said "For the last time, my name is Orochimaru!"

Rito said "Could've fooled me. Anyway, ATTACK!"

The Tenga force charged forward, hoping to eviscerate the ninja crew. But before they could, they heard a yell of "Fire Arrow" from Crane. She shot off a single arrow that landed in the middle of their group, igniting many Tenga. Falcon jumped over the Tenga mass to attack Rito, but he was intercepted by a Cyber-Tenga. The mechanical bird stood in Falcon's way from getting to Rito. Rito said "Well…it seems that everyone else has an opponent to fight."

Rito walked over to a pile of boulders from a destroyed wall and lied down on top of it. He said "I'm just gonna lay down here and watch the fun."

Naruto sweat dropped at Rito's comment, but had to defend himself as the Cyber-Tenga attacked him. He blocked the Tenga's claw, and then kicked it in the chest. Naruto ran forward and yelled "EX Streak!"

Naruto's sword edge glowed with a white light, enhancing the brightness of the gold edge. Naruto focused chakra into his legs, making the attack faster. He slashed the Cyber-Tenga through the chest as hard as he could, destroying a lot of armor. Crane yelled "Electric Arrow" and shot the arrow at the three Tenga. The arrow quickly exploded, shutting off a lot of the Tenga's enhancements.

Falcon mentally said "Good job, Hinata-chan" and got back to fighting. The three Cyber-Tengas attacked him. Luckily for him, the three didn't know how to effectively use their numbers advantage. They attacked him one at a time instead of altogether. One of the Tenga energized his claws, giving them a purplish glow about them. It then started attacking Falcon.

Falcon dodged most of it's' attacks, but still got hit. Most were glancing blows, so they didn't hurt as much as they could. Eventually, Falcon used his sword to block one claw, foolishly leaving himself open to the other. Before anyone could say anything, he was slashed by the claw.

Falcon stumbled back and fell to one knee. 'Holy Shit that hurt! I can't be hit by that thing again. I might just lose this fight.'

Falcon got on his feet just as the Cyber-Tenga charged him. Luckily, Falcon was able to block both claws. Falcon thought that he had taken out all ways for the Cyber-Tenga to attack, before a thought came rushing to him like a freight train.

Falcon's eyes widened behind his helmet as he jumped back, barely missing the mechanically enhanced fireball. Falcon thought 'What happened? Why is it's' fireball thing working? …Hinata-chan's arrow! The last time we fought a Cyber Chicken Dinner, she shot a Lightning Arrow. Maybe since the Electric Arrow focuses on a group instead of a single target, the effects are only temporary. …I should really learn some Lightning Jutsu soon and stop counting on Hinata-chan to save my ass.'

Falcon saw the Cyber-Tenga coming after him, so he fired off a Judgment Cut at the last second. Unfortunately for him, Crane's Electric Arrow chose that time to wear off, giving the Cyber-Tenga its' full abilities back. So while the Tenga was charging him, it was charging up its' cannon also. When Falcon shot off his attack, the Cyber-Tenga also shot off its' cannon. The attacks met in the middle of the two fighters and exploded, sending the two attackers back due to recoil.

Falcon got back up, and saw the Cyber-Tenga get back up also. The Tenga wasn't without its' injuries. It had a bunch of holes in it's' armor, its' cannon was sparking, and its mechanical eye was flashing. Falcon was thinking of a plan to take the Tenga out, when he heard a voice in his head say "You are a fucking dumbass."

Falcon groaned and said "If there's one thing I don't need right now, it's your stupid side-comments, Kyuubi."

The Kyuubi said "I'm just giving your stupid ass some advice. Calm down and think about the situation."

Falcon said "I'm in the middle of a fight, Kyuubi. Can we have this conversation later?"

All of a sudden, Falcon heard Takaseirei's voice. "You talk to Kyuubi, Naruto. I'll take over the fight for you. But to be clear Naruto, I will only defend."

Falcon said "Why? You can use the Falcon Sword a lot better than me. You can probably defeat them easily."

Takaseirei said "You're right Naruto, I can. But if I do, will you learn anything? No. Will your skills improve at all? They won't. I can bail you out of every situation imaginable, but will you grow from it?"

Falcon said "Touché."

Falcon let Takaseirei take over the fight, allowing him to talk to the Kyuubi freely. He took a deep breath and the Kyuubi said "Finally, you're calm. Think about the situation."

Falcon sarcastically said "I'm against an opponent with an eye that can keep track of me no matter how fast I move. He has a cannon that can blast a hole through my body. His fireball can burn through my Ranger uniform, and his claws hurt like hell. Did I miss anything?"

The Kyuubi started muttering about "smart-mouthed snot-nosed kids", then said "You forgot the fact that both his cannon and eye are malfunctioning. They're not at 100 percent. Now what move do you have that can damn near teleport you places?"

Falcon lowered his head a little and started thinking. After a while, Falcon's head raised quickly and he said "The Shunshin no Jutsu. With its' eye messing up, I can probably get past it."

The Kyuubi said "Now you're thinking. Go out there and fight. Yo, Big Bird, give the kid his body back."

Takaseirei's reply was "I hate you."

When Takaseirei gave Falcon his body back, Falcon immediately used the Shunshin no Jutsu to appear behind the Tenga. Before the Cyber-Tenga could turn around, Falcon focused energy through his sword and stabbed through the Cyber-Tenga's stomach, killing it.

When Naruto pulled his sword out, he had to jump away as another Cyber-Tenga had come to attack him. Falcon dodged many of its' claw strikes, but still got hit from some of them. Falcon was ducking back, looking for a time when the Cyber-Tenga would mess up. He eventually got his chance.

The Cyber-Tenga thrusted his claw at Falcon, trying to eviscerate him. Falcon sidestepped at the last second and grabbed the Cyber-Tenga's claw. He quickly charged his sword and sliced off the Tenga's hand from the wrist.

The Tenga took his attention off of Falcon because of the pain from it's' wrist. Falcon focused energy into his sword and sliced off the Tenga's head. The last Cyber-Tenga was the one that Falcon injured earlier. The Tenga charged Falcon and shot a fireball at him. Falcon rolled to the right as the fireball passed him.

As the fireball passed ahead of him, Falcon heard a cry of "Freeze Arrow" and saw an arrow shoot over him. The arrow hit the Cyber-Tenga and seemed to drill into him a little bit. The Cyber-Tenga stopped moving as it was suddenly encased in a huge block of ice.

Seeing his chance, Falcon held his sword vertically and said "Slice them to ribbons, Takaseirei!" His sword glowed white and broke into thousands of pieces. The sword fragments sailed through the air towards the Cyber-Tenga's icy prison. After cutting through it, the ice block fell into a million pieces, the Cyber-Tenga going with it.

Turning to the battle, Naruto saw the Raikage facing down Orochimaru. Seeing the look on the Raikage's face and hearing the obscenities he was saying, Naruto would say that the Raikage was pissed at what happened. He didn't seem to be holding back at all.

Gai, Kakashi, and Yugito were handling the Tenga easily. Looking over the battlefield, Naruto saw that there were many Tenga who were either burned or had small patches of ice on them. There were also many Tenga who either had bite marks, piercing wounds, or slashes on them. It seemed that his fellow Ninjetti Warriors were as pissed as the Raikage.

With his fellow Ninjetti Warriors beside him, Naruto turned his sights on Rito. Rito, who was watching the battle, was laughing. He said "Oh man, that was rich! Did you see the way that Tenga acted? It acted like its head was cut off instead of its' hand! And did you see that dog stab that Tenga in its' ass? That gives a whole new meaning to a prostate exam! Hahahahahaha!"

Wolf said "Just what the hell is this guys' problem?"

Rito stopped rolling on the ground and stood up. He said "Oooookay now. Fun's over. Time to kick some Power Ranger butt."

Wolf smirked and said "You can try, but you'll fail."

Rito said "Since when did Power Rangers become this cocky?"

Wolf charged Rito and tried to tackle him to the ground, but Rito kicked Wolf in his head and sent him backwards. Crane and Falcon rushed forward to aid Wolf. Wolf pulled out his Lance and led an assault on Rito.

Wolf tried to slash Rito, but Rito easily blocked the attack with his sword. Wolf began to send of a flurry of slashes, but Rito was able to block, parry, or dodge all of them. Wolf tried harder, but his moves just got sloppier, while Rito kept dodging.

Falcon observed this and decided to help Wolf by joining the battle. Now Rito had to work twice as hard to defend himself. When Wolf tried to swing for Rito's head, Rito ducked under the attack and slashed Wolf across his stomach. Before his attack could hit though, he felt his arm go limp. Rito jumped back to dodge Wolf's slash from his Lance.

Rito turned to Crane and saw her pulling her bow string back. Rito waited until she shot at him and moved at the last second. The attack sailed past Rito and hit a computer terminal on the other side of the wall.

Falcon aimed a Judgment Cut at Rito, but Rito held his sword up and not only blocked the attack, but reflected it back at Falcon. Falcon jumped to the air to dodge, but in the process, the attack hit a wall. The wall that it hit held many of the support beams of the compound.

The others paid it no mind though as they continued fighting. Falcon rushed Rito with Wolf behind him and continued the battle. With Wolf's help, Falcon was able to knock Rito's sword out of his hand. But before they could do anything, they heard a rumbling. When they looked around, they found that the top floors of the building were starting to come down.

Rito noticed the problem and said "Uh-oh. That's my queue to leave. See ya later Power Brats. We're leaving!"

Rito and the only living Tengas all went up in flashes of purple. Where the Raikage was fighting Orochimaru, Orochimaru noticed the crumbling ceiling. He said "As much as I would love to stay and fight Raikage, I must depart."

Orochimaru jumped away out of the Raikage's reach. He then started sinking into the ground, to the amazement of everyone else. While he was sinking, he said "But don't worry. This is just a minor setback in my plans. Rest assured that I'll be back."

As Orochimaru stopped talking, he sank into the ground completely. The Raikage cursed loudly, missing his chance to end Orochimaru. Falcon said "We can curse later; right now we gotta get the hell outta here."

The group of ninja was able to get out of the crumbling prison without being crushed by falling pieces of the ceiling. When they got into the Falconzord, Falcon set it on auto-pilot to fly to Kumogakure no Sato.

Getting up, Falcon went to the Raikage "Raikage-sama, I have to ask you something."

The Raikage said "What's up?"

Falcon said "We just defeated the Tenga today, but what's to stop them from coming to your village the next day. This time, we were here to help, but we won't always be."

The Raikage said "My ninja force is more than tough enough to handle the Tenga."

Falcon retorted "And what if your ninja force is at war and it's stretched too thin to keep the adequate amount of Jounnin in the village to protect it?"

The Raikage sighed deeply and said "That is the fear of all the Kage, kid. What would you have me do?"

Falcon said "Well, I have an idea. You can train the civilians to fight. In Konohagakure, the Uchiha clan ran the Uchiha Military Police Force. The Police Force was made of Uchiha civilians who were taught self-defense. They were charged with patrolling the village to make sure that the Hokage's laws were followed.

"If you created something similar to that in Kumogakure, your village could be protected from harm while your ninja worried about conflict with other ninja villages. If you train them good enough, they could probably take the Tenga one-on-one."

The Raikage thought about the idea. He said "That sounds like a good idea kid, but how will I go about doing that?"

Falcon said "I noticed that a lot of Kumogakure ninja use swords. You can probably get them to teach the police force the sword styles and training. "

The Raikage said "So they would basically be ninjas, but they wouldn't take any missions and wouldn't fight in the war?"

Falcon said "Exactly."

The Raikage said "It'll take a while, but I think I can work that into the village."

A couple days later, the Kumogakure Police Force was born. Heading the Force was Police Chief Kirabi. Kirabi was told by his brother that his job was to run the recruits into the ground. That's just what he did. A month after it's' start, the Kumogakure Police Force had their civilian recruits strong enough to take some Chunnin down in a one-on-one fight.

Kirabi had stopped taking missions that sent him out of the village. He was at the most three hours away from the village. After Yakon attacked, he realized that only he and his brother were strong enough to actually protect the village against the monsters. His brother already had enough trouble being the Raikage so Kirabi decided to shoulder the responsibility.

Thanks to the Ninjetti Warriors, Kumogakure was changing in ways they never thought possible. I wonder how they would have reacted if they realized that they took military advice from a bunch of 12-year olds.

(End)

Okay guys, after making you wait for months, here's chapter 8. Chapter 9 will be the beginning of the Wave arc. Also, like I said earlier, it will also introduce a new villain. Thanks to rot anschauen drache kaiser for his help with the villain.

Anyways, I'll work as fast as I can on this new chapter.
