Hey guys and girls.
Welcome back to a new chapter for A World For Titans.
So the las place we left off was where Pina had just witnessed first hand on the sheer firepower of what the Militia's Titans could do when compared against a sword or a band of enemies.
Fearing the results of what would happen should the Militia turn their attention on them, she has thrown together a treaty with the Militia and the Empire.
With such a move now happening, this means that the Empire and the Militia are now allies. But with Bravo 4 making their way back to Arnus Hill, Naruto has ordered his forces to retreat back to Arnus while he tries to smoothen things out.
Enjoy.
Dislcaimers: I own nothing.
Chapter 7: The Summons.
Over on a small ridge overlooking Italica, the remainer of bravo 4 peered through some binoculers as the night began to spread its wings over the land, blanketing everything in black.
"I hope he's okay." said Fu with Ryuuzetsu scoffing.
"Please. Crimson Fox is one of the most toughest bastards I've ever met. Knowing him, he's doing fine. He was after all, trained in not only to be a pilot, but he's also part of the TSF." piped Ryuuzetsu.
"What's TSF?" asked Yugito.
"You never heard of them? TSF stands for Titan Special Forces. Powerful soldiers that are beyond our own understanding. They go through hellish training and are broken down beyond measure. Only to be turned into the ultimate killing machine. That can do even the toughest of missions." replied Ryuuzetsu.
"Night is falling. We can use that as cover. Unfortunately, we Titans would draw in too much suspision." said Kurama with Ryuuzetsu nodding to the Titan.
"Okay. We'll wait until it's fully dark. We'll infiltrate and secure our Commander. From there, we return to base." said Ryuuzetsu with everyone agreeing with her.
In Italica. Countess Myui's mansion.
"What do you think you're doing?" shouted Pina throwing a gold cup of wine at Bozes which drew some blood.
"Huh?" asked Bozes looking to her Princess.
"You idiots." she hissed.
"Princess, what have we done wrong?" asked a silver haired knight as she went to Bozes who dropped to her knees and placed a cloth on her head.
"Can't you tell?" barked Pina before looking to Naruto.
His body in ruins as bruizes and cuts littered his body. But one thing caught her eyes. His righ arm was sparking like there was magic flowing through it. She couldn't help but wonder if Naruto was actually a mage in disguise.
With some maids coming in and taking Naruto to get cleaned and fixed up, Pina satt in her chair like throne as a hand came to her head.
"We violated the treaty the day it was signed." she said as Grey came into the room.
"The Giant Tamers could easily use this as an excuse to start a war. A tactic used by the Empire and one they could choose to imitate." stated Grey.
"What should we do?" stated Pina.
"We could just apologize." said Grey.
"Are you suggesting that I bow my head to them?" barked Pina with her pride getting the better of her.
"Would you prefer finding yourself facing them in battle?" asked Grey with Pina swallowing her words.
It was true, she didn't want to be on the receiving end of the fury and power of the SRS. She had to ensure that they kept their mouth shut on this matter. Not only that, but also try and fix the treaty violation that had just occured.
With Naruto.
Slowly opening his eyes as the lighting on the room invaded his eye sight, he found himself laying in a bed with 4 maids standing before him. Despite sharing the common thing about being a maid, they were all different. One had cat ears, another and bunny ears. Another had snakes for hair while the last one looked to be a regular human. Unless she was hiding what she was. Looking around again, he saw his robotic arm resting on the desk on the other side of the room with a red light flashing.
He knew why that light was flashing. It was because the connection was distrupted and needed to be re-established. Turning to the one with cat ears, he watched as she poured a glass of water.
"Cat ears?" mumbled Naruto making the maid turn to him.
"Hm? What's wrong?" she asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just wondering what's going on." said Naruto with the door opening.
"Don't worry, you're in the Countess's mansion. Princess Pina has told us to treat you with the utmost care. The knights that tortured you are being harshly punished for what they did to you. We are ever so grateful to you and your armored giant for saving us." said the woman as she stood at the foot of the bed. "If you wish to destroy the city for what happened to you, we are prepared to help you. But we wish for you to not harm Countess Myui."
"Relax. I'm not going to do that." said Naruto waving his only hand.
"We are ever so grateful for your compassion." said the woman.
"Great. Now can I please have my arm back." stated Naruto pointing to his robotic arm.
"Sure thing." said a maid as she went and grabbed the arm before bringing it back.
Holding the arm under the piece of arm he had left, they watched as wires shot out from the stub and connect to the arm. The light flashed green to signal that a connection was once more established. Naruto flexed the fingers for a bit.
"Thanks. Without my arm, I can't do much." said Naruto.
Outside.
The three soldiers were seen moving stealth like through the city. After Tuka had disbabled the guards with ease they moved through the city. Fu held a Flatline assault rifle, Yugito had a R-201 and Ryuuzetsu held a Spitfire LMG.
Moving closer to the mansion, Ryuuzetsu made a few handsigns that were to tell the two rookies that they were to enter as quietly as possible but also be mindful of guard patrols.
The two nodded to Ryuuzetsu as they moved into the mansion.
Inside Naruto's room.
As they watched as Naruto sat there while drinking some water from the one maid, the one with bunny ears had her ears pick up and her gaining a face of surprise.
"What is it?" asked the woman.
"Someone is trying to force open the bars on the windows." said the bunny maid.
"It must be Master Naruto's friends. Bring them here. If it's anyone else, deal with them in the usual way." said the woman.
"Understood." said the bunny maid as she and the cat eared one walked out.
"Uh, who are they?" asked Naruto.
"Are they new to you? Mamina is a Warrior Bunny. Persia is one of the Cat People. Aurea is a Medusa. And Mome is a human. The previous Count had a liberal nature and went to great lengths to hire non human staff. Though part of it was for personal taste." said the woman.
"I see." was all Naruto.
The rest of Bravo 4 could be seen moving through the hallways of the mansion before Ryuuzetsu stopped at a door. Fu stood on the other side with Yugito kept a look out. Fu pulled the door open and Ryuuzetsu nodded her head and stormed in before pointing her gun down when she spotted two maids standing there.
As for Naruto, he was enjoying some relaxation as he was fed some food when the door to his room opened up. The entire of Bravo 4 stormed in to see the sight before them.
"Commander, are you okay?" asked Fu.
"Yeah, I'm good." said Naruto with them wondering what the heck was going on and why Naruto was half naked.
But for Fu and Yugito, they wondered about two things. One was why Naruto's body was covered in scars, while the other was why their Commander had only one normal arm while the other was that of a robotic one.
With Pina and the two knights responsible for assaulting Naruto.
Sitting in a chair as she stared down the two knights before her, Pina crossed her arms and legs as she frowned to them.
"Bozes, Panache. You are responsible for greatly injuring a Giant Tamer in a way that wasn't...humane. I'm sure you know what this means. Should they wish of it, they could easily kill us all. They have the power to drive off and defeat a Fire Dragon. Should they fight against us, we will fall. Not just us, but the Empire in the process." said Pina.
"I understand." said Bozes hanging her head.
Pina meerly scolded at what she was about to say next.
"We need to made sure they forget about this. And you need to use your body to do it." said Pina with Bozes becoming rather shocked.
"It may be a shame to give it to someone like Naruto." said Pina with Bozes gritting her teeth.
"I understand what must be done. And I will do it for you and the Empire." said Bozes.
With Naruto.
Sitting there as he watched everyone get along rather well with the maids of Italica, Naruto smiled as he looked to his robotic arm. Ryuuzetsu made her way to her friend and sat down on the floor.
"Stop dwelling on the past. You've come a long way to go back to how you were. A being known as the Grimm Reaper." said Ryuuzetsu.
"I guess you're right." said Naruto smiling to her. "I shouldn't be so glum. Everyone is having a good time. I should enjoy it as well."
"Agreed Commander. Have some fun, let yourself go for a bit." said Ryuuzetsu looking to everyone as they talked with either the maids of amongst themselves.
"We'll call tonight 'A cultural exchange." said Naruto with Ryuuzetsu agreeing with him as they began to talk among themselves.
As they talked among themselves, Fu had an idea and got everyone ready to take a picture to remember the occasion. But when she was about to take the picture the doors opened to reveal Bozes there in some rather revealing clothing.
She looked on as Fu took the picture and showed it to everyone. Finding Naruto on the bed as he spoke with Ryuuzetsu and Yugito at what they were going to do, she hung her head as rage began to take over.
"He's ignoring me? Does he even know as to what I went through coming here?" she hissed as she stormed over to the bed.
Turning to her, Naruto looked on it confusion as he watched Bozes raise a hand and slap him rather hard through the face. The only thing that echoed through the night was the pained cry from Naruto as the feeling of having his cheek slapped rather hard.
The next morning, Naruto stood in his uniform with the rest of Bravo 4 while Bozes stood next to Naruto with a face of depression while Pina stared on his fury.
"What's with that wound?" she growled.
"It was me." replied Bozes rather softly.
Pina grabbed the sides of her head as she cried out at how their shot at fixing the treaty was ruined. But that was when Ryuuzetsu spoke.
"Um, we're going back to our base now. So you can fix this on your own." she said with Pina looking to Lelei.
"She says that you can fix this yourself." interpretted Lelei.
"Wait, you can't go just yet. I know. The sun is still coming up. Why not stay and have some breakfast with us." said Pina hoping for another shot.
"It's a kind offer, but I have to report to the brass regarding the Diet Summons." said Naruto.
"Naruto has to report to his Senate." said Lelei.
"Their Senate?" said Pina looking rather shocked.
'This is bad. One word from him. Just one word would cause the entire of the Gian...Milita SRS ontop of us.' thought Pina.
'Wait." she called making them look to her.
"I'll go with you." said Pina.
"Sure. Why not." said Naruto with the walking out the room with Bozes getting changed and heading out to meet them outside where Kurama, Muku and the other two Titans stood.
"Naruto, look rather beat." said Kurama with Naruto clicking his tongue.
"Don't start with me. Let's just head back to Arnus." said Naruto with the Titan opening up and Naruto jumping into the Titan.
"Pilot control initiated." said Kurama transferring controls to Naruto.
Holding out his hands to the two girls before him, Naruto found them to be rather frightened. Sighing within his Titan, Naruto assured them that nothing will happen. Slowly, Pina approached the hand and climbed onto the hand and found herself now perched on the Titan. Bozes followed soon after her.
The two found the height they were at rather amazing. They felt like giants that stood proud above everything. Looking to the rest of Bravo 4 to find them also embark on their Titans they soon headed to Arnus. Once they were out the city, Naruto ordered his team to stop.
"Alright. Now that we have a clear shot back to Arnus, let's head there. Double time." said Naruto with the team nodding to him.
"Copy that." they said.
Breaking into a thunderous sprint, they moved with great strength to Arnus. Pina and Bozes clung to the Titan as if their lives depended on it. Never had they been so afraid as the Titans moved along the path. But after a few minutes, they spotted Arnus Hill on the horizon.
"What speed." said Pina with Bozes staring on.
But their musings were shifted everywhere as a Widow airship flew over head. A Gremlin drove by with fury and speed as the thing drifted along a corner and drove away. A squadron of Crows flew overhead while a few Hornets also gave chase to them. Almost as if they were initiating a Dog Chase drill. A few trainees that were training to be Pilots thundered about the base in Titans, trying to get a feel for what it's like in the Titan. While a platoon of Gorilla Tanks moved across the land on their right.
"Iron Pegesi. Iron Elephants. Armored Giants. Why is an army like this attacking the Empire?" asked Pina with Lelei looking to her.
"The Empire stepped on a Griffon's tail. The SRS only did what anyone would do in this. Retaliate. This is also why the Empire lost when facing the SRS." said Lelei.
"What would you know? The Empire is in turmoil." barked Bozes.
"I'm a nomad. Trivial things with the Empire don't concern me." said Lelei as they neared the base gates.
"So we can take over a country. But we can't change their hearts." said Pina looking on with fear in her eyes.
Once they made it to Admiral A's building, Naruto took the two girls on his Titan off and disembarked with the rest of Bravo 4 only to be stopped by Pina.
"Uh, Commander Naruto? May I talk with you for a bit?" she asked.
"Uh, sorry about that. I've got to get ready for the Diet Summons." said Naruto before bolting away.
"Ryuuzetsu will take care of you." he called.
Pina was at a loss of words. She had one shot but once again, failed horribly. Ryuuzetsu slowly made her way to the pair and took them to where they'd be spending the night.
But with Naruto, he stood before Admiral A who looked to him.
"So, you managed to get a treaty signed between us and the Empire, only to be taken prisoner then after. Surely you should've done something about that." said Admiral A.
"Their cultures are more different to our own. So I suggest we leave them be." said Naruto with A sighing.
"Very well. It's your call after all. But there is one more thing I must say. After the Diet Summons, there will be a tournament soon. In the next month it will happen." said A with Naruto going wide eyed.
"Ah yes. The Titan Games." said Naruto with A smiling.
"Aiming on keeping your winning streak?" asked A with Naruto smiling very cocky like.
"I am." said Naruto. "You partaking in it?"
A just chuckled before shaking his head.
"Nah. I've got other shit to worry about. But just be warned for the Diet Summons. They may try and paint you as the bad guy. You know how these bloody bureaucrats are." said A with Naruto nodding his head.
"I'll be mindfull of them." said Naruto with A nodding his head.
"Good. Dismissed." said A with Naruto saluting him and walking out the office.
With Pina and Bozes.
It was now already night and Pina and Bozes had learned so much about the base they were in. So many weapons in one spot as well as Titans everywhere. And they were still growing the base. It was absolutely incredible.
"Do you think...they'd use this as a means to start a war? With the whole treaty violation?" asked Bozes with Pina shaking her head.
"I highly doubt that. If they did, we wouldn't be given access to their base and treated so well." said Pina before looking down. "Our cultures are so different."
"Princess, you can't be serious." said Bozes.
"Yes, I'm going to their world." said Pina.
After a few minutes of them talking, they fell asleep but for Pina, she lay there wide awake as she stared at the ceiling. She remembered seeing Naruto's right arm sparking like that. But she didn't know what it was. Not only that, but she had to admit he was pretty cute.
Deciding to apologize to him, she climbed out of bed and walked out the room and into the streets of the base. But as she walked. Kurama who was on patrol came into her view with the Titan shining its spot light on her.
"Princess Pina. What are you doing outside? You could catch a cold." said the Titan as it thundered to the Princess.
"I'm just wanting to see Naruto and apologize to him." said Pina.
"Your body language and tone suggest something else. Your heart rate is also elevated. Do you need medical attention?" asked the Titan with Pina shaking her head.
"I'm okay. But do you know where I can find Naruto?" asked Pina.
"Unfortunately, Naruto is right now resting. He will be attending the Diet Summons tomorrow. If you wish to see him, then you can." said Kurama with Pina looking down.
"I see. Thank you." she said walking back to her room.
"Rest well, Princess." said the Titan before returning to be on patrol.
And scene.
So now things have really gotten heavy as Pina and Bozes have both gone to Arnus in hopes trying to soothe things over with Naruto and seek a means to fix the treaty violation. While Naruto sees this as a difference in cultures.
With the two of them choosing to got over to Naruto's world, they begin their preparations. Not only that, but the Titan Games are happening soon.
It will be revealed at a later stage as to what the Titan Games are.
Chapter 8: Home Bound.
Coming soon.
