The Last Guardian

We'd been flying across the Shinobi world for quite a while now. We had to make sure to fly pretty high since flying anywhere close to a nearby village would raise an alarm. I never realized how far Jessica's village was from the rest of the Ninja World.

"We're almost there!" I said. "The village is right up ahead over those mountains."

We approached a mass of gigantic mountains surrounding the village. The Village was protected by four great mountains on all sides and corners that circled the village. Hence the name, the Mountain Village.

"This is it guys, home sweet home!" I exclaimed as we flew over the mountains and into the village. We headed straight for Jessica's house. Surprisingly the people of the village weren't alarmed by our presence. They went by minding their own business without taking much notice of us, as if they were expecting us.

"Old man, I'm back!" I called.

"So I see." He replied. Rex stood outside his how awaiting our arrival.

The three of us landed and approached him. "Hello Piccolo, it's been a long time." greeted Rex.

"Indeed, good to see you too." replied Piccolo.

"The two of you know each other?" I asked.

"Let's just say we've all been waiting for this day for a long time." said Rex. "Come on in."

We all followed him into his house. Jessica and her mom were seated in the main living room waiting for us. The four of us joined them and I started my short story of the situation.

"WOW!" Yelled Jessica. "Are you serious Cael? You want me to be your Sun Guardian?"

"Uhhh...I wasn't exactly 100% for this decision, but yes I would. While I may not like it, I definitely feel that you're the right one. You don't have to if you think it'll be too dangerous…"

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" she interrupted. "A chance to be a Guardian comes only seven times in a generation! Of course I'll do it!"

"As her mother, I too agree that this is quite an honor. To pass on something like this would be insane."

"I, 150% agree!" exclaimed Rex. "Jessica will be the first person in this village's to become a Guardian. This is history being made!"

"Then it's decided," said Piccolo. "with Jessica that makes six of the seven Guardians chosen. We must go boys. The sooner we gather all seven, the sooner we can commence your training."

We wasted no time sitting and headed to the door. Jessica's mom gave her a long embrace; this was going to be goodbye for a while. "Take care of yourself dear; and take care of Cael too."

"I will mom, I love you."

"I love you too Jessica."

"Jessica? Take care of me? Funny."

Jessica's dad walked up to her and gave her a hug as well. "We're so proud of you, everyone in the village will be proud when they hear of this, too. Now go out there and represent our village! We all love you very much."

"Thanks dad! I love you and everyone too!"

"I promise I'll protect her with my life." I assured them.

"Aww, thanks Cael!" Jessica said as she pounced onto me.

"We'll come back once we're done training." I told them.

"We'll be sure to prepare a huge welcoming party for everyone." Said Rex.

"We'll look forward to it. Jessica, you can still fly right?" I asked her.

She shook her head and opened her arms out. "Nope, you're going to have to carry me Cael."

"Stop playing around, I know you can fly. I taught you myself!"

"Aww, you're no fun."

The four of us then took flight and left the village.

"Okay Caelum, lead the way; just one more Guardian." Said Piccolo.

"Right. I'm guessing Tsunade and the other Kages are awaiting our arrival by now. In that case let's go to The Land of Iron, to the site of the Kage Summit."

"The place where Sasuke attacked the Kages? What for?" asked Zephyr.

"You'll see."

After another long travel through the sky we reached the site of the Kage Summit. Mifune, the Leader of the Land of Iron waited for us at the entrance and welcomed us as we landed.

"Welcome, Guardians of the Earth. This is quite an honor. It isn't everyday you get to meet such prestigious people. Please come this way, the five Kages have been waiting to be summoned."

"I'll wait out here guys." said Piccolo. "You go in and get your last Guardian."

We followed Mifune as he lead us to the Kage meeting room. "What do you mean they have been waiting to be 'summoned'?" I asked.

"We realized that gathering the Kages to this location took time. So in order to make the event quicker we created a jutsu to summon them here at the Summit; it's much more time efficient."

We reached the room and stood in front of the Kages as they were about to be summoned. The Samurais placed a summoning scroll in each of the seats relative to their respective Kages.

"Summoning Jutsu!" A cloud of smoke filled the room, and as it settled the five Kages along with their respective guards appeared. The guards took their seats behind their Kages and only the five Kages plus Mifune remained.

"So, these runts are supposed to be the new 'Guardians of Earth'?" said Raikage.

"Raikage, Show some respect!" told Tsunade. "They are powerful, I've seen their power first hand."

"If it were up to me, I would be Sky Guardian!" stated Raikage. "As leader of the Shinobi Alliance it is my right!"

"You're the Raikage huh?" I said staring at him. "You look stronger than most shinobis. I'll fight you over the title of Sky Guardian if you want."

"What? Insolent child!" he raged. "Do you know who you're speaking to?"

"Right, right...you're the 'Raikage'; I got it. I read your power level and…maybe if you were like ten times stronger you miiiight be able to hurt me. After all, if someone like Sasuke managed to take one of your arms off you can't possibly be that big of a threat."

"Listen here brat, I've fought and taken down shinobis a hundred times stronger than you and even fought the Hachibi. You are nothing!"

"You might as well should power up boys." suggested Tsunade. "Let's let your actions speak louder than your words. It convinced me, and it'll certainly raise some eyebrows."

"This is the second time we've had to transform to convince you Kages." complained Zephyr. "Our Legendary Transformation is not for your amusement!"

"Let's just do it Zephyr, it'll shut up the Raikage for sure."

Zephyr and I started raising our power. The ground started shaking and electricity sparked around the room.

"HAH!"

At once we transformed. Everyone sheilded their bodies, trying to block themselves from our energy as we generated an enormous wind within the room.

"Darui…do you feel that? It's maddening!" said Shi.

"Shi, how powerful are they?" asked Darui. "Can you read their levels? Are they as strong as the Raikage?"

"Not even Raikage can ever imagine reaching this." Shi's mouth dropped. "Even if he trained for another lifetime he could never achieve this kind of power. It is said that the Raikage's chakra levels are powerful enough to reach Jinchuuriki levels. It feels as if there are a quite a few Jinchuurikis in this room; no even more! It just keeps rising! There's no end to it!"

"Wow guys…" marvelled Jessica. "...when did this happen? You're both so strong now. This is quite a change." She didn't seem shaken by our power much. She stood strong right next to me. I got to give her credit, she's tough.

After a few seconds we both stopped. The look on their faces showed they were both fearful and in awe at our power.

"In…credible. So this is the Legendary Super Saiyan." Said Raikage.

"I told you Raikage. They are the ones." told Tsunade.

Zephyr and I powered back down, that was enough showing off.

"Now that we've properly introduced ourselves I have a request. The main reason we came here was not to demonstrate our power. There is someone in the prison here who I want to make my Guardian." I started.

"And what makes you think you can just come in and take him." argued Raikage. "Sure you have great power, but power alone does not grant you access." argued Raikage.

"Raikage," spoke Tsunade. "these boys have chosen someone in this prison to be their Guardian. You have no right to deny a Guardian of Earth his right. This is bigger than us Kages!"

"And if I still refuse?"

"Haha," I laughed. "what makes you think you can stop me, let alone us?" I asked.

Everyone suddenly became quiet and tense. No one uttered a word. Even the Raikage was left speechless.

"I was just kidding...I wouldn't force you to let me have him. I'm confident you'll let me."

The Mizukage covered her mouth laughing. I guess my little bluff amused her.

"I like him;" smiled Mei. "I don't know what it is but I just like him. I believe in him"

"That's how I felt Mizukage. I know we can trust them." Agreed Tsunade.

"You only say that, Mizukage, because you think they're handsome." Commented Gaara solemnly.

"Haha, Lord Kazekage you caught me. I know a couple of good looking men when I see them."

"In any case, I believe in them too." continued Gaara. "Though you may have been part of Akatsuki, a group that captured me and killed me, I see something different in you. Furthermore, anyone with power like that is worthy of being a Guardian, and if you believe that there's a criminal in this prison who is also worthy, then I shall believe in you as well."

"Thanks Gaara; and thank you Mizukage, for both your approval and your flattering remark."

"As Hokage, you already have my vote. Konoha owes you that much for saving us. All that's left are the old geezers."

"I personally do not care." spoke Onoki. "As Tsuchikage I have better things to do like prepare for the war; do as you please."

"Hmph, very well." decided Raikage, finally. "Go get your Guardian AND THEN I shall decide."

"As the leader of the Land of Iron, I shall personally escort you to your chosen Guardian's cell."

"Great, lead the way." I said. Mifune escorted us as Zephyr, Jessica, and I followed him out of the room.

"So, what is this criminal's name? We'll need it to locate his cell."

"Oh, right. I guess I can reveal it now. Take me to see one of the last remaining members of the New Generation Swordsmen of the Mist. Take me to see Suigetsu."
