Hey guys, back with another chapter. This chapter explains a lot of things and connects several other things. Nothing else to say really but please enjoy and leave a review on what you thought and/or PM if you are confused or have questions.
Story Start.
The chamber/large room the group entered was vastly different from the rest of the castle. They saw several blank large portraits along the wall, some in landscape mode and portrait mode. The floor had a red carpet and the walls were a calming gold/beige. Trevor noticed a small pedestal in the center of the room with a hand imprint in it. The son of the Dragon walked over and was about to place his hand on it when he sensed something above him. Trevor flipped back when something large landed on the ground and its stealth camo de-activated, revealing a… machine. It had a sleek futuristic appearance to it along with a humanoid form. Before Trevor could react, the thing brought an arm-blade and lunged with surprising speed despite its large form. Fortunately Tayuya materialized before the thing and held her hands out with a command.
"Stop!" she commanded as the thing did just that.
"Big sis? You can talk?" a child's voice came from the thing as it stored away the arm-blade.
"Yes, I got some help and I can speak now. How about you come out and say hello to some of the pirate's friends and family." Tayuya said as the machine stood up, which revealed it to just a few inches smaller than Cornell in his Lycan form. The machine powered down as its torso opened up to reveal a child with a pair of military shorts, a opened up shirt with torn sleeves and a pair of boots. His blonde hair was slicked back/messy and he wore a pair of gloves. The kid unbuckled himself from the harness and got out as he walked over and hugged Tayuya like she was family.
"It's good to see you again, sis." The kid said as he pulled back.
"Same here kid, let's introduce you to the others." Tayuya said as she turned to the group with the kid.
"Hello everyone, my name is Menma, my codename is Liquid." The boy introduced himself. Samus eyed the machine Menma piloted and had her helmet disappear as she walked over to it.
"Mind telling me why this is based off my suit and research?" Samus asked as she looked to Menma. Menma snapped his fingers as he recognized her and Ahri.
"You two must be Samus and Ahri. Patchy told me about you two and he even let me create Jehuty from the research I managed to steal from Cipher before we blew up his home." Menma said as he patted Jehuty's leg. Samus raised an eyebrow and got down on a knee as she looked Menma in the eyes.
"Really, and who would this 'Patchy' be and what type of relationship do you have with him?" Samus asked as Menma gave a grin and replied.
"Patchy is my nickname for Big Boss, otherwise known as Naruto Uzumaki to you two and my relationship to him is simple. I'm his son." Menma said as this startled the group.
"Wait, what…" Akasha said as Menma clarified.
"Well, I'm actually a genetic clone of him, but I view him as my dad." Menma said as he looked to Ahri.
"A clone…" Ahri muttered as she examined Menma. He looked just like Naruto did as a child without the whisker marks and green eyes.
"Yep, Originally I resented the one-eyed bloke for not being there and letting some old fart and his weird co-workers do things to us. I tried to kill him but was quickly subdued, surprisingly enough he took me in and had a change of heart as we eventually came to see each-other as father and son." The blonde said as Kushina looked the glowing 'Naruto'.
"Then who is that?" she asked as they all looked to 'Naruto'. The kid smiled as his form was covered in a bright light and morphed into something else. The light died down to reveal a mystical looking fox the size of a wolf with golden fur and scarlet fur in several places. The fox walked over to Ahri and licked her hand as it nuzzled against her leg.
"Shippo…" Ahri said before she embraced the fox and let out a laugh.
"What's with the fox?" Minato asked.
"This is Shippo, he was Naruto's old companion he met during his rough childhood, unfortunately Shippo was killed by angry people who hated Naruto and thought he was 'demonizing' their kids." Ahri said as she petted Shippo as the fox barked in response. Ahri noticed the metal, robotic looking collar on Shippo's neck and was about to ask when a voice caught their attention.
"You people have no idea how hard it is to reach you guys. I think I almost died several times trying to find you guys." A male voice said as they turned to see a young man decked in leather armor with a child on his back.
"Hello, Hiccup. It's good to see that you are alive and well." Carmilla said as she greeted her servant.
"Same here, My Queen. I'm curious as to who these other people are with you. That and this kid with me is looking for his brother." Hiccup said as he let the kid down as Jasmine hugged her close friend/botfriend. Menma recognized the boy and ran over as he hugged his brother.
"John, are you alright!" Menma asked as he examined his twin. The other Son of Big Boss (named John) replied.
"I'm good, where are we?" John asked as he looked around.
"I'm not sure either. But the group right here seems to know about this place." Menma said as he led John over to the group.
"Everyone, this is John, he would be the other Son of Big Boss, and his given name by that old guy is Solid." Menma said.
"Wait, how exactly did you two come about if your clones?" Yukari asked.
"Well, since the old man is sterile, some of his DNA was extracted from him while he was unconscious from a mission. Insert that DNA into an egg that has had its nucleus removed and then inject that egg into a donor's womb and nine months later, we were born." Menma explained as he placed an arm on John's shoulders.
"Wait, if father was sterile, then how exactly am I here." Trevor asked in confusion as he tried to process what Menma said.
"Maybe if you activate this mechanism over here, we'll be able to find out how this all comes together and what the hell is going on exactly." Werbellia said as she stood next to the pedestal and Trevor went over and placed his hand in the indent. A spike came out as it pierced through Trevor's hand and out the back as it took a small sample of his blood. The spike receded as Trevor flexed his healed hand and everyone watched in amazement as the pedestal lowered and a large basin filled with an opaque liquid rose from the ground. They also noticed several other things come up and the blank portraits fill in with amazing art, depicting fantastic collages that marked as memorable moments of Naruto's life. Several portraits were titled as well.
Operation Snake Eater.
The San Hiermyo Takeover
Peace Walker Incident
Ground Zeroes
The Phantom Pain
Blood Dragon
Revengeance
"What is this…?" Ahri said in awe as she observed everything. Samus noted a display case to the left of the basin and opened it to reveal limbs, cybernetic limbs for the arms and legs along with several synthetic organs. What caught her attention was the small plaque on the bottom of the display, etched into it were the words.
Property of Naruto Uzumaki.
Samus covered her mouth with a hand was she knew what this meant. She also saw two eye patches and a cyborg eye plate along with the ring she made as a birthday present for him. She also saw several other things as well.
"That's Big Boss." Menma said as he pointed to a portrait of Big Boss along with Ocelot in the foreground and several other people in the middle-ground and Outer Heaven in the background. Everyone noticed how different Naruto was appearance wise and his eye-patch along with the shrapnel horn and the cybernetic left red limb.
"What's this thing?" Kurumu asked as she poked at the liquid in the basin, noting that it had a strange energy coming from it. Werbellia took off a glove and pricked her thumb as she let her blood fall into the basin. The liquid shimmered before playing a scene of Werbellia's past as she was playing with her kids (when they were little children). She ended the scene with a thought and spoke up.
"Well, well. Seems like this is a device that allows one to see memories of those who offer their blood. Which also means we can use this to show what happened and piece together what exactly is going on." Werbellia said as the group crowded around the basin.
"So, who want to go first?" Minato asked as everyone was silent.
"I'll start, seeing as I know much more about the ones behind this damned prophecy." She said as she added some of her blood into the basin and slipped her glove back on before she controlled it to the start when she was created. The scene was shown from a third-perspective an infant wrapped in a royal purple cloth was held by a humanoid figure, the odd thing was that the figure's body was blue and let off a glow as the figure held the infant with care.
(Memory)
"You'll help me with what I have planned, won't you little one?" the being asked in a fatherly tone as the infant giggled in response. Everyone watched the two create Big Bang and work on stars, planets, galaxies, dimensions and much more. The infant Werbellia grew to a beautiful young woman that could be considered the epitome of a goddess.
(Memory End)
They all heard a gasp and Werbellia halted the scene as they turned to see a young girl in a black robe/dress with pink hair. The girl was hiding behind a display case and Werbellia sensed her own power from the child. The Primordial being walked over and crouched down.
"And who might you be little one?" Werbellia asked in a motherly tone as the girl shied away for a moment but leaned out to speak up.
"Crona, are you my mommy?" Crona asked with hesitation as she feared her powers would get the better of her.
"Why yes, seeing as you hold a fraction of my power. Why are you hiding?" Werbellia asked as she could tell Crona didn't want to hurt her she could also sense her (Crona) powers fluctuating.
"My powers cause pain to those I come in contact with. Amaru was hurt when she tried to help me last time." Crona said as she remembered her former vessel. Werbellia thought for a moment and snapped her fingers. She formed a small orb of her energy with stabilizing effects and held it out to Crona as the young girl watched the orb like a kitten with fish.
"Here, this can help and you won't fear hurting people. Say aahhh." Werbellia said as Crona opened her mouth and Werbellia popped the orb into Crona's mouth and the young girl ate the energy with a grunt of appreciation. She swallowed and felt her powers stabilizing.
"Thank you." Crona said, she was surprised when Werbellia picked her up and placed her on her shoulders as the young girl held onto her horns.
"Seems like we have a new addition to the family. Crona, these are your sisters, say hi." Werbellia said as the young girl waved timidly at them as they all greeted their younger sister. They resumed the memory basin as the Man of Miracles approached Werbellia looking down over the planets and watching a young family with a sense of curiosity. Unohana and the other gods (Werbellia's siblings) were off doing their own things.
(Memory)
"What troubles you, my child?" the creator asked as he knew Werbellia would watch people on the worlds from time to time.
"I'm curious father, what's it like to have a family of your own. I see these humans and other races start families and love and protect them. How come I can't experience that? I want what they have, a family to call my own." Werbellia said, she didn't want to sound greedy in front of her father, but her request was, in a way, selfish. M.O.M thought about what Werbellia said as he tapped his chin.
"Hmm, I suppose that you raise a valid point." M.O.M said as he focused power into his hand and placed in her head as she felt raw power flood into her body. He eventually took his hand away and smiled.
"There. You now have the power to create life with your energies and more. However don't misuse your power. You can pick any of the worlds to call your home as you raise your kids. I hope to see them. I wish you a wonderful life, my child." M.O.M said as Werbellia was overjoyed and hugged her father as she thanked him repeatedly.
(Memory End)
The scene shifted to show Werbellia landing on the world of her choosing (the pre-shinobi world). She then created the God Tree as her home before entering it. Werbellia also decides to show how she met Kaguya when the little girl ended up on her 'doorstep' crying. Werbellia became a good friend to Kaguya and was intrigued when Kaguya mentioned that she was visited by the Man or Miracles and she was gifted with unparalleled knowledge on technology as she explained her dreams to the primordial being. Werbellia was like a mother to Kaguya since her own parents were not really parent material. The following scene showed Werbellia using her powers to create her children within her and waiting the appropriate nine months before having a painless labor session as she gave birth to the nine.
"I am so envious of you. You got to have a painless labor, I remember breaking his hand when I had Gin." Rin said as she thumbed to Cornell and Werbellia giggled and replied.
"I have my ways. Who knows, maybe I'll share my knowledge with you. I can tell that everyone here has different variations of my powers." She said as she continued the memories. Everyone watched as Werbellia raised her kids with happiness and the little deal she struck with Kaguya when the latter came back one day distraught and scared, and helped her hide her inventions in the vaults as they were hidden across the pre-elemental Nations before giving Kaguya the fruit and clear instructions as the young woman ate the fruit and was encased in a large closed flower to change her form to better suit her gift. The next scene showed Werbellia trying to bring some sense into the reborn Kaguya who was being controlled. Only for her to fall under the same power controlling Kaguya.
"I am very sorry for what I and Hamura did mother, we did not realize the truth of your actions and why you acted out of person." Hagoromo said as he looked to the elder Kaguya with a sad look. Kaguya thought nothing of it and replied.
"It matters little, Hagoromo. I was weak for letting myself to be controlled and endangering Werbellia's children. The sole reason why I tried to come back was to re-unite Werbellia with her children because I knew what humans are capable of when they want power." Kaguya said as she made a point and Hagoromo looked down in shame as he knew it was his fault. The group resumed watching as Kaguya was locked away inside the moon and Werbellia was sealed within Hagoromo. They saw how Werbellia was slowly dying to unknown means and how she made Hagoromo promise to keep her children safe in her absence.
(Memory)
"You wanted me to watch over them since you're dying?" a younger Hagoromo said in confusion as he was conversing with Werbellia, the primordial being herself looked like she had seen better days, her skin had taken a deathly parlor and she was having trouble breathing also her form showed signs of decay.
"Yes, I am entrusting you to them. Make sure they are safe and happy while I'm gone or I will make your life a living hell." Werbellia said as she grabbed Hagoromo by his throat despite her sickly form.
"Hagoromo Otsutsuki, do you promise to keep my children safe and well as they are out in the world with you?" Werbellia asked as Hagoromo knew she was doing what any parent would do for their child.
"I promise, I'll make sure they are watched over and happy." Hagoromo said as Werbellia smiled and began to crumble to ashes, signifying her death. The scene then shifted to centuries later as Werbellia was brought back from death within the God Tree and re-united with her children in joy as they had grown up. The final scene showed Werbellia and the others saying a tearful goodbye to Ahri as the latter was prepared to be re-sealed within Naruto as he was destroying the God Tree.
"I wish things didn't have to turn out this way, but I can sense that someone else is coming for us, someone who will no doubt control us for their own machinations. So I have decides to take us out of the equation. May you live a wonderful life Ahri." Werbellia said as she hugged her eldest daughter as both were crying. Werbellia then activated the suicide technique as Ahri was shot into Naruto's shadowed form. The God Tree burned to the ground as Werbellia and Ahri's siblings died to the technique in a flash of energy. The following scene showed Werbellia waking up in the castle kitchen and quickly disposing of the creatures about to eat her as she clothed herself and left the room.
(Memory End)
"Wow, heck of a journey for you to go through." Hiccup said as Werbellia nodded.
"You could say that, in the end I am back with my family. That's all that matters to me." She replied as Werbellia smiled.
The others took turns showing their memories and what happened. Kushina was a bit horrified to know that her daughter was forced into a life of slavery, but then relieved when she escaped and joined Fairy Tail, grew to be an amazing woman, found love with Kagura, Ultear and Minerva. Killing Jellal when the latter had kidnapped her to try and appease to Zeref. Erza's last scene before waking up in the castle gardens was her activating the secret weapon during the climax of the Demon War in the 'Fairy Tail' world before succumbing to her wounds and dying. (Rob is her adoptive father who found her).
"I want to thank you for taking care of my child, Mr. Makarov. I am not worthy of being a mother as I left my children to suffer." Kushina began only for Ahri to slap her with one of her tails.
"Don't drag yourself down, Tomato. Naruto never blamed you for anything in his life. You have another chance to be a mother to your kids, if not, maybe Menma and John would see you as grandparents." Ahri said as Menma and John waved. Kushina rubbed the spot where Ahri slapped her and agreed.
"Who's next?" Cornell said as Carmilla raised a hand.
"I'll go." The Vampire Queen said as she added her blood and everyone saw her childhood with Akasha as Mathias' daughter. The following scene showed her cradling an infant Akua, being dealt a fatal blow by Issa and Mikogami along with her last words to Gyokuro. Ending up in the 'forbidden lands' of the shinobi world along with Cornell as they were greeted by Zobek. One peculiar memory was how she met Naruto.
(Memory)
Carmilla (in her human form) was walking through the Forest of Death along with Jasmine and Hiccup following her. She rarely made visits to the Elemental Nations, this time she picked up some herbs and rare flowers for her spells and works.
"Do you two hear that, it sounds like a small kid?" Hiccup said as Carmilla noticed the small tune and traced it to its source. The three vampires came to a small house that was made from the inside of a large tree (Think Yoda's house from the Empire Strikes Back). Carmilla knocked softly as they heard small footsteps in the house and the door opened up to reveal a child Naruto, no older than six, with a smile despite his dirty clothing.
"Hi. I'm Naruto." The boy said in a happy manner as Carmilla was interested to find a child living out in the wilderness. She composed herself and replied.
"Pardon my interruption if I was bothering you from your activities. I was curious as to why a child such as yourself is doing all the way out here with dangerous animals and not in the village." Carmilla asked as she wanted to know why.
"People don't like me in the village, they call me a demon and hurt me for things I don't know. I woke up here after another attack and made this place my home." Naruto replied as he could sense no hostile intentions from the three. Carmilla was now perplexed as what kind of parent would let this happen to their child, she knew Issa would fit the bill but he wasn't around.
"Where are your parents, boy? Surely they would be worried about you?" Carmilla asked as Naruto gained a depressed look.
"I don't have any parents. I tried to see if anyone could tell me if they knew them, but the elders only shunned me away and threatened me." Naruto said as Carmilla felt bad about bring that up.
"I apologize for my rudeness." The Vampire Queen said as she caught the scent of his blood. It smelt divine, like the greatest wine. In her head she was pondering of making it painless and feeding her thirst. No one would notice, Naruto himself said that he was not welcomed in the village. That's when he got her attention with his next statement.
"You know, you remind me of someone." Naruto said as she rubbed his chin. This snapped Carmilla out of her stupor and she asked,
"Really, and who do I remind you of, little one?" she asked in curiosity as Naruto thought for a moment before snapping his fingers and replying.
"I remember now, you remind me of Akua!" Naruto exclaimed as this had Carmilla's full attention.
"You know my daughter?" she asked in a heated tone. She has been searching for ages now for a way of getting back to her world and finding Akua. Naruto went into the house and returned with a potted flower, a purple rose.
"Akua gave me this the last time I saw her. She said it was a sign of friendship. Then again he dad looked really angry when he found them, he even slapped Akua when she tried to speak. He also attacked me, this all happened a few weeks back. Luckily I managed to hide this from him and the villagers. Since you're her mother, I figured this should be given to you." Naruto said as he handed her the potted plant. Carmilla accepted it with care as she stared at the flower.
"…Thank you, Naruto. I don't know what to say…" Carmilla said as she held the item and looked to Naruto with a warm smile on her face.
"It's alright, Akua did say she missed you and wanted to introduce me to you. I guess this is a weird way of being the messenger" Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head and grinned. Carmilla found Naruto an odd child and decided to help him out.
"I have a proposition for you, Naruto." She said as she smiled. In the back Jasmine and Hiccup gave each other a nervous look.
"What's that?" Naruto asked as he tilted his head.
"How would you like to have a new life? I can offer you a new lease, one where you won't be hurt by these people that claim you are a demon. Would you accept my offer?" Carmilla asked as Naruto thought for a bit.
"It sounds interesting, but the voice in the back of my head, which has always helped me out, says different. She also said some pretty nasty things about you as well." Naruto said as he was a bit nervous how Carmilla would react to what 'The Furball' said about her.
"And what does this little voice say about me?" Carmilla asked with humor.
"Well… she said not to trust the parasitic bitch with the slutty voice." Naruto said as he moved behind the door as he didn't want to die early. Carmilla just felt like killing the fool who had the audacity to say that about her but calmed herself down and replied.
"Well, it takes a bitch to know one." Carmilla replied.
"Anyway, I don't want to get you three in trouble because of me, so I'll stay here. Your offer sounds nice, but I can manage here, besides I plan on leaving this place when the time is right." Naruto said as he was planning of doing so as Ahri (he didn't know her yet, only the 'demon fox') helped him.
"Well then, I suppose I wouldn't hurt telling you the special meaning behind this flower." Carmilla said as she ruffled his hair.
"Wait the flower is more than just a token of friendship?" Naruto asked. Carmilla nodded and replied.
"Yes, you see. A purple rose is very rare, even rarer than a blue rose. It symbolizes destiny and greatness. Since you held onto it, I can tell that you are going to have a very special destiny, Naruto. Who knows what will happen in the future, maybe we will meet again." Carmilla said as Naruto gave a cheesy grin. That's when they all sensed the hostile aura's of villagers who, with the help of some corrupt police force members, tracked down Naruto. Carmilla was about to use her powers to make the people go away when Naruto grabbed her hand.
"Don't. The creepy old man with one eye will find out and try to capture you to use as a tool. You should leave while you have a chance, they're here for me." Naruto said as he didn't want the nice lady to get hurt because of him. Carmilla hesitated for a moment before resigning.
"Alright, take care Naruto and stay safe." Carmilla said as she, Hiccup and Jasmine burst into bats and flew into the night as Naruto watched in awe before he ran off to ward off the villagers.
Carmilla then decided to show her final meeting and fight with Naruto, now known as Gabriel Belmont.
(Memory end)
"Now that I think about it, I still owe you a severe beating for what you said about me." Carmilla said as she looked to Ahri with a deadly smile.
"Well if you want to suffer a humiliating defeat, be my guest." Ahri replied with a smile of her own. Trevor cleared his throat to break up the inevitable fight and spoke up.
"Let's not cause a mess in here. Father sees this place as sacred ground and I really don't want to explain why this room is damaged." Trevor said as Ahri and Carmilla simply folded their arms and huffed in anger as they looked away from the other. Trevor was up next as he showed his childhood under the brotherhood's care, how growth and how he met Sypha, their marriage and Simon's birth and his mission of vengeance to confront his father. Trevor ended it at the scene of when he woke up as Alucard. Simon and Victor also showed their respective lives up to their deaths. Everyone except Tayuya, Menma, Ahri and Samus showed their memories/lives with the basin. Mikoto and Fugaku were horrified to find out that Itachi had a hand in Taki and Momiji's deaths a few months after the clan massacre.
"So now it's just you four that are left. Who wants to volunteer?" Victor said as the four thought for a moment.
"I think it would be better if we combined our memories with Naruto's since our lied were intertwined with his." Ahri said as she brought out the Vampire Killer and focused her magic/chakra to have the blood on the end of the weapon flow into the basin and they added their own blood as the basin behaved like a whirlpool and flowed for several moments before Ahri took control and had the memories start on the event Kushina went in with Minato for the check-up.
Chapter completed. Hmm, I feel like I either need a beta to help me out with the story (due to me being an ambitious fuck) and/or explain things better. Anyway, it sounded better in my head and I tried to put it down while making it sound like it did in my head. Let me know what you guys think by leaving a review and/or a PM if you have questions or confused. Also check out my profile for my other stories and some interesting Naruto crossover challenges. Until then, stay frosty.
Hell is Fun21 signing out.
