Aliens

by Trepidation

The Shinobi World is now the shinobi universe. Each large planet uses its shinobi to protect the citizens on the smaller planets around it. Konoha protects Earth. But, Earth just made the worst possible decision. Earth blew up a planet it deemed dangerous, killing all inhabitants, except one. The survivor renamed himself Pain, and he will do whatever it takes to get his revenge.

Chapter 10

Konan

My lungs began to burn almost immediately. The shark man dove almost straight down. I fought frantically before realizing that all I was doing was wasting precious oxygen. The water pressed against me and I felt like I was being crushed. The hand tightened its grasp on my foot as it tugged me along. I was beginning to lose consciousness. Then a hand grabbed mine. I looked up through the clear water to see Pain grabbing my hand. He yanked on my hand, trying to pull me out of Kisame's grasp. But, at least while under the sea, Pain's strength was no match for Kisame's. Kisame pulled us both along. I relaxed, and tried to tell Pain to do the same with my eyes. I was shocked. He complied, relaxing. The only thing that was still tight was his grasp on my wrist, or maybe I was just reading into it. Who knew? I noticed my burning lungs again, they felt like they were about to burst.

I was thrown out of the water and onto the ground. Pain landed next to me. I choked and coughed, then gasped as precious air floated back into my lungs. I looked up and gasped. It was beautiful. I was standing in an underwater city. Bright blues, greens, pinks, and yellows shone and sparkled. The city was surrounded by water, as if it were on the inside of a bubble. Fish-people strolled through the streets and pathways. I would have stared in wonder forever, if someone hadn't yanked on my hand. Pain's grasp had become loose and he lost his grip on me as Kisame dragged me toward the castle. What a day this was shaping up to be. Kisame pushed his way through the crowd. I looked back to see Pain struggling to his feet. He must be hurt.

Pain got up, glanced around, and then his eyes locked on me. He got up and began his pursuit. The fish-people seemed to make him a walkway. Kisame didn't have the same luck. Kisame growled and shoved people out of the way. Then, he jumped toward the palace doors. Pain scrunched down and lunged after him. Kisame was stopped by a twin set of mountainous doors. Pain appeared behind us and raised a single hand. Kisame opened the door at the same time and raced through the opening, which caused Pain to growl with irritation.
