Chapter 9: Trouble Strikes the Heroes Pt 2: Escape from Cloud City

Last time on Naruto Wars:

Looking for a test subject for the carbon-freezing machine; Darth Hokage froze Sasuke in carbonate. Sasuke was then handed of to Kimimaru just a Naruto arrived. It was only minutes later that he engaged in his duel with Darth Hokage. Meanwhile the deal gets worse as Kabuto must now hand Sakura and Akamaru over to the Empire. Will he do as Hokage instructed? Or will he help are heroes escape? Let's find out.

Kabuto, Sakura, Akamaru, and Shikamaru were being escorted down the hall to the docking port, where Akamaru, Shikamaru, and Sakura were to be transported to the Star Destroyer. And just like that, a swarm of Bespin guards surrounded our heroes and the strom trooper escorts.

"Freeze," on guard said.

"By order of Kabuto Yakushi drop your weapons!" commanded another guard.

"But how?" one trooper asked.

"When?" another trooper asked.

"You didn't see it?" Shikamaru asked as Kabuto was collecting the guns from the troopers. "When we were turned the corner he pressed a button on his watch. That watch called the guards to ambush you."

"Well done men," Kabuto said, "take them to the security tower and keep them there." As the guards left, Kabuto started to uncuff Akamaru.

"Since when are you on our side?" Sakura asked.

"Since Hokage broke our deal," Kabuto replied, "and pushed things way too far." As soon as he uncuffed Akamaru he was immediately strangled by Akamaru.

"Listen…to..me," Kabuto struggled to say. "I…had no…choice."

"What a load of bull," Sakura replied.

"Sas…uke," Kabuto managed to say.

"What?" Sakura asked.

"He said Sasuke," Shikamaru replied.

"You can still…save him," Kabuto said. "You must go…to the east…platform."

"Let him go Akamaru," Sakura commanded. But, as fast as our heroes ran, they were unable to catch up to Kimimaru's ship. As they arrived Kimimaru's ship was flying away; with Sasuke inside. Before there was time to grief, Storm troopers fired at them from behind.

Meanwhile with Naruto's Duel

"You've learned well," Hokage said.

"You haven't seen nothing yet," Naruto replied. Naruto jumped at Hokage, but was knocked to the ground. He got back up and clashed with Hokage. Hokage spun his lightsaber around causing Naruto to lose his grip of his lightsaber. His saber was through out of reach. Naruto rolled down the stairs to try and get the lightsaber, but Hokage followed. As Naruto stood up, Hokage swung at him. Naruto jumped back, and into the carbon-freezing chamber.

"To easy," Hokage said as he flipped the switch activating the chamber. Naruto forced jumped out of the chamber and onto the ceiling.

"Impressive," Hokage said.

"Like I said before," Naruto replied, "you haven't seen nothing yet." Hokage slashed his saber at him, but missed and hit a pipe instead as a result released carbon gas. Naruto grabbed the pipe and directed the gas into Hokage's helmet. While Hokage was distracted, Naruto grabbed his lightsaber.

"Sarutobi has taught you well," Hokage said as they continued to clash. "You've learn to control your fear. Now, release your anger, only through hatred can you strike me down." Naruto flipped over Hokage and continued to clash against Hokage. He continued to push Hokage back to the edge on the platform. He then kicked Hokage of the platform and into the darkness. Naruto walked to the edge and jumped in to finish the job.

Below the platform was a lab filled with all sorts of different devices used for different things and a giant window in the back. And as he walked through he found who he was looking for, Darth Hokage.

Meanwhile with the others.

Kabuto, Sakura, Shikamaru, Akamaru, and R2 dashed down the hallways of Cloud city looking for an exit.

"We're going to have to escape using the Millennium Falcon," Kabuto shouted as they fended off attacking troopers.

"But we need Sasuke to fly it," Sakura said.

"Don't worry," Kabuto reassured her, "I can fly it; it was mine first after all." They made it to the platform with the Milenium Falcon. Using the element of surprise, they took out the troopers who were securing the Falcon. They hoped in, powered it up, and flew away."

"We escaped at last," Kabuto said with a sigh of relief.

"Yes, yes now can you please put my back together?" Shikamaru complained.

"Once we're safely out of Bespin Akamaru can fix you," Kabuto replied.

"Then we can go after Sasuke?" Sakura asked.

"Then we can go after Sasuke," Kabuto replied.

"Beep beep bop," R2 said.

"R2 says that we forgot Naruto," Shikamaru said. With that they zoomed back to Cloud City to try and locate their missing friend.

And so, with time running out, our heroes race back to Cloud City to save their friend. But meanwhile, Naruto duel with Hokage is about to go from bad to worse. What will happen? Find out next time:
