Take this into consideration. I never wrote a Chapter 10 for this story. At Chapter 9 I had abandoned the story because of events I had went through back in 04'. But now with the rewritten, revamped, and improved version of this Fanfic, led me to complete this story. So, I hope you enjoy Chapter 10. Thank you for reading!
Chapter 10
Kitsune soared into the air and instantly stabbed Gamman in the left eye with his sword. Gamman screamed loudly causing the domes walls to shatter and crumble. Ayane and Ryu jumped through the rubble and outside the red baron field. The field had nothing but bones and ashes. The sky was blood red with no signs of clouds. The ambiance of the outside was hectic. They heard sounds of people screaming and rocks falling. Ayane wanted to get out of whatever this place is and fast.
Gamman grabbed Kitsune in his hand and took a good look at him. Kitsune struggled to get free of his grip, but Gamman tossed Kitsune through a shard of wall the dome had left. Kitsune slammed through the rubble and landed right outside. Kitsune started to moan trying to get up from that toss. Gamman leaped in the air and tried to stomp right on top of Kitsune. Kitsune quickly moved out of his way and Gamman's landing caused the floor to shatter with pieces of rubble flying in the air along with dust. The sound echoed for miles as the ear shattering explosion of Gamman's landing impacted.
Kitsune then swerving the floor to face Gamman, tried his basic attack. Kitsune placed his hands to his hip and tried to gather up Ki energy to release his Chaos Flare. Kitsune then released his attack. "Chaos Flare!"
The blast hit Gammon in his right eye. Gammon screaming from the pain of the Ki blast caused him to fall face first. Then Gammons head flung up with his long neck and starting shooting fire from his mouth in every direction. Kitsune gritted his teeth. Kitsune then saw Ayane and Ryu blasting their Ninpo at Gamman. Gamman feeling their attacks, blindly aimed his fire attack in their direction.
"Dammit!" Kitsune yelled. If Kitsune didn't make a move fast, they were gonna be fried flambe. Kitsune slapped his hands together and slammed them to the floor. "I don't think so!"
Kitsune's Ki energy flew underground at a fast speed. Then a blue shield of Ki energy erupted from the floor, protecting Ayane and Ryu. Ayane borrowed one of Ryu's Kunai's and started running towards Gamman and grabbed onto his scales with the Kunai. Ayane climbed to his neck and up on top of his head. She stabbed Gamman's head and held on. Gamman went furious trying to shake off Ayane from above.
"Ayane!" Ryu yelled. Ryu tried blasting more of his Ninpo to distract Gamman from Ayane's attempt. Gamman's head rose up more further, ready to attack Ryu with a dangerous blast that could end everything. Ayane kept on stabbing Gamman's head, trying to pry a hole in his head. Ryu started to make a run for it and ran towards Kitsune. Kitsune knew what Gammon planned on doing. He was going to bring out his ultimate attack. Now Ayane is up 100,000 feet in the air. Kitsune was worried. Not even a Ninja should be up that high.
Kitsune needed to blast Gammons mouth at the right time. But not his Chaos Flare. It had to be a different attack. Then, Kitsune's Dragon of Ages came to mind. His strongest Dragon summon and it has been a long time since he summoned his Dragon of Ages.
"Ryu. I need you to clear from me for just a moment." Kitsune yelled.
"Why? What are you going to do?" Ryu asked.
"I am going to summon one of my Dragons. But he is too big for you to be around. Run 20 feet from me." Kitsune started to wave and Ryu nodded. Ryu started to run 20 feet from Kitsune. Kitsune spread his arms away from him and started to chant. "I summon you..." Kitsune slammed his hands onto the floor. "Dragon of Ages!"
A circle of light surrounded Kitsune and the floor behind him started to erupt. A dragons head popped out of the floor, then its neck. Its neck kept on coming out from beneath the floor. Kitsune's dragon was no more then 20,000 feet from the floor. As soon as its body finished coming from out the ground, it gave out a loud roar. The Dragon of Ages leveled its head down to give Kitsune a little nudge. Kitsune rubbed its ear.
"It has been a long time, hasn't it?" The dragon gave off a little whimper. "Ha ha! I missed you too buddy." Kitsune smiled at his Dragon. The Dragon of Ages lifted its head up and looked at his opponent. Gammon was about ready to let out his attack.
"Dragon of Ages. I need you to attack his mouth when he is about to fire his attack. Understood?" Kitsune yelled. The Dragon of Ages roared as a confirmation that it understands the tactic. Kitsune smiled greatly. Gamman started to absorb energy into his mouth and charging a large amount before he attacks. Kitsune in a ready position to give the Dragon of Ages the signal to attack on his mark, was ready for the impact his dragon was about to make. He did not want Ayane to fall off, but he did not have much choice. He could only hope for the best.
Ayane still on top of Gamman's head, hacking away, trying to pry a hole through his skull, was holding onto Gamman's hard scales on top of his head. Ayane gritting her teeth as she hacked at his skull, started to wonder if this was worth the effort. Her hands started to bleed with all of her efforts to end this bastards existence. Her plan was a simple one, but risked her at the brink of falling down far heights.
Gamman readied his attack and Kitsune gave the signal by throwing his arm out in front of him. Kitsune screamed, "Now!", then the Dragon of Ages absorbed energy from its tail to its neck. Then he absorbed energy in his mouth, an energy that was bright red. The Dragon of Ages blasted a long stream of Ki energy from its mouth and soared through the air, aimed at its target. Gamman's attack was almost done as the Dragon of Ages attack was quickly soaring through the air at an incredible speed. The attack hit Gamman's energy and made a complete implication within Gamman's mouth. The explosion fluctuated from place to place and made very large gaps in Gamman's mouth. Gamman screaming at the top of his lungs, swung his neck from side to side along with Ayane at top. Ayane holding on to his rather large ear on his head, was swearing as he swung in pain. Then Gamman thrashed his face into the dirt.
Ryu ran, dived, and rolled to avoid Gamman's humongous structure and his head collapsed to the floor causing the entire plain to savagely shake and crumble beneath their feet. Kitsune looked at the Dragon of Ages and ordered him to stay until dismissed. Ayane then successfully made a nice hole into Gamman's head and tossed in her home made pack of bombs that she always made when she began her training with Genra. Ayane jumped off Gamman's head with an evil smirk on her face and looked back. She waved to Gamman and the top of his head blew up. The explosion made his eye sockets blow outward and the fire came out through his mouth, finishing him off.
"Excellent work Ayane!" Kitsune yelled. Ayane facing Kitsune smiled at her hard work. Gamman's body started to dissipate. His body turned black and started to disappear. Kitsune then gave the signal for the Dragon of Ages to be dismissed. The Dragon of Ages whimpered once more and gave Kitsune a nudge. Kitsune petted him once more and then he disappeared. Then the floor started to shake uncontrollably. "Damn, something is coming up from the floor."
Kitsune then glanced in the distance and saw Volgoros running in a different direction. The fog in the near distance of the plain started to clear up as Volgoros ran towards the endless field of the damned. Then a rather large strange castle looking structure became visible. A black, pointy, nasty castle became visible.
"Kitsune, Ayane. We have to chase after Volgoros! He is headed towards that castle." Ryu started.
"I can see that Ryu. But we have a different problem at the moment..." Kitsune started to look below him. Then Kitsune gave the signal to run after Volgoros before the demons started crashing up from the ground and ambushing them. They all ran towards the castle. Then at a blink of an eye, the demons popped up from the ground in front of them. Kitsune sped up in front of Ayane and Ryu to make a quick attack to save some more time. Kitsune unsheathed his sword and absorbed Ki energy within his blade, causing it to flare red. Kitsune jumped, spun, and slashed none stop with the red energy in a full non stop 360 spin to catch all the demons in his path.
Ryu jumped over Kitsune and gathered up Ninpo to finish off the rest of the demons Kitsune managed to hit. Ryu unsheathed his Dragon Sword and dashed fast towards more Demons blocking their path. Ryu dived foot first, kicked up a demon, and grabbed him in mid-air. Ryu spun down head first and landed right in the crowd of demons knocking them away at impact.
"So, that's the famous Izuma Drop, huh?" Kitsune muttered to himself, smiling. Ayane dashed quickly, her hand started to glow, and she swiftly swiped the ground with her hand. The ground made a sonic boom noise and knocked the demons back, very far. Ayane used a wind technique which uses extreme pressure in wind to throw back her opponents. Not like the wind torn sky blast like her brother Hayate uses.
Demons then made an appearance behind them as they were running towards the castle. Kitsune jumped into a 180 and slapped the floor with both hands. The ground then blew up with Ki energy going right for the demons chasing them and knocked all the pursuiting demons into the air. Kitsune used his Chaos Flare to finish off the demons while mid-air and then started to catch up with Ayane and Ryu.
"Dammit, almost there." Kitsune muttered to himself. Then a giant Bull Demon popped up from the ground, stopping them from entering the castle doors. The castle doors has a draw bridge to cross in order to enter the castle. It started to close upwards in front of the castle.
"It is closing!" Ayane yelled.
"This is why I hate the demon dimension." Kitsune said in a sarcastic tone. The bull demon was ugly. Big, nasty, pink, and stood on four feet like a giant puppy dog. This nasty disgrace had no eyes, just a giant mouth capable of ripping your head clean from your shoulders. Kitsune hated these demons with a passion as they are very difficult to bring down.
The bull demon started charging at Kitsune, Ayane and Ryu. They all dived out of its raging path. Kitsune then dashed to it before it made its second pass. Kitsune with sword in hand, jumped, and landed on its back. Kitsune balancing himself stabbed the bull demon on its head and started riding the bull demon like a... Bull.
Kitsune holding onto his sword with all his grip, had a lot of trouble holding onto the demon for as long as possible. Then it rang to him to try a possible solution to this little menace. Kitsune eyed Ryu.
"Ryu! Don't just stand there man! Use your Ninpo and shoot this bastard in his mouth!" Kitsune yelled. Ryu nodded and ran around trying to find a good position to ready his attack. Then he crouched down. Ryu twirled his hands and blue energy gathered into his arms. The bull demon faced Ryu for a short time, with quick timing however, Ryu shot his blast straight into the bull demons mouth. Kitsune slipped out his sword and back flipped off quickly before the blast hit. The bull demons mouth imploded and blood started to gush out from its face.
"Nice timing Ryu." Kitsune waved at Ryu.
"Let's enter the castle." Ryu said without hesitation. They ran for the draw bridge, but it was already up. Kitsune started to look for another solution. Kitsune spotted chains besides the bridge as it stood there. Kitsune upholstered his gun and took careful aim at the chain.
"I need to find a crucial point." Kitsune said.
"Why not blow it down"? Ayane asked.
"The bridge won't fall normally. I'll end up destroying the bridge." Kitsune smirked. "And look at the distance. The length of a jump to the entrance is... Far. I'd say about, 50 feet."
"Then, don't miss." Ayane laughed.
"I never do." Kitsune said. Kitsune took careful aim trying to find a crucial and weak spot on both of the chains besides the bridge. One on the left and right side of the draw bridge. Kitsune found the crucial point and fired. The bullet skimmed the chain and the chain snapped, Kitsune took the second shot and it skid off the chain. The chain popped and the draw bridge fell fast. The impact of the bridge on land caused the floor to shake and a large gust of wind blowing them back a little. "Damn, that is one big draw bridge." Kitsune laughed.
They ran over the bridge. Kitsune looked down underneath the bridge and saw hot molten lava underneath their feet. Kitsune then wondered if they actually had no choice but to jump? Kitsune is of course confident that he could've made it, but Ayane and Ryu is not like him. They may be Ninja, but Kitsune is not exactly fully human.
They made it to the doors of the Castle. Kitsune kicked in the door and it swung open. The door slammed against the wall making a loud bang that echoed for miles within the castle walls. Ayane covered her ears as the loud noise infiltrated the castle. They walked in, torches illuminated the insides as they walked in. The walls were made of black stone, the floor was made of black opal, and the ceiling was also in black. In front of them was a set of stairs leading to the second floor. Kitsune guessed that is where Volgoros was headed, since there is no sign of any entrance on the first floor.
They ran up the stairs. Ryu took out his sword, ready for anything that would cross him, Ayane prepared the Kunai she borrowed from Ryu, and Kitsune just plain ran down the long, dark, hallway. The hallway had different designs on the walls. Such as tentacles sticking out from the walls and some other weird signs that are very hard to describe. At the end of the hall, there was a door. A black door with two dark dragon designs on the double door. Kitsune kicked the door open, upholstered his two pistols and rushed in.
Volgoros was standing right in front of a exact replica of Gamman, a statue in opal black. Kitsune walked towards him slowly.
"Volgoros. End of the line." Kitsune said. Volgoros turned around slowly with the Crystal of Time in his hands. He had a pensive expression while he stared at Kitsune.
"You kill my lord Gamman and you barge into my home? Very disrespectful." Volgoros said angrily.
"You kill my comrade Wolf and toss me into space with no memory. Also very disrespectful." Kitsune made his come back. Kitsune holstered both his guns.
"So, our session ends here, Kitsune. You are now a real thorn in my side."
"You're right. But the mission is not finished." Kitsune said smiling. Kitsune unsheathed his sword and twirled it till he had it behind him in stance.
"Ayane. Do you know the wind torn sky blast?" Kitsune asked Ayane.
"Ye... Yes I do. Why?" Ayane asked.
"I need you to attack my sword with your torn sky blast. I'm going to use the attack and fuse it with my own." Kitsune said staring at Volgoros.
"The torn sky blast is not a toy, it could kill you!" Ayane said worried.
"It won't kill me. My sword is trustworthy, just believe in me."
"Ok..." Ayane said unsure. She didn't know what Kitsune was intending on doing, but it sounded crazy. She spread her arms with electricity spawning from her hands and thrusted her hand upon Kitsune's sword. The sword absorbed the Ninpo attack and the attack dissipated. Kitsune then twirled his sword back into his sheath, got into position to charge a blast and put his hands at his hip. A blue and red fusion started to grow in Kitsune's hands with electricity in the mix. Kitsune thrusted his hands forward, still charging the blast as it got bigger and more larger. A face then formed out of the huge Ki and Ninpo energy and screamed at Volgoros. "Chaos Torn Sky Blast!"
Volgoros surprised, shaking, and unsure if he could escape this blast, quickly forms an energy field in front of him, ready to push back the blast. Kitsune's blast then rushed towards Volgoros, slamming right into his force field. Volgoros grunting and trying to sway off the attack. But the attack was way too strong. The force field failed and Volgoros was blasted backwards, going through the statue of Gamman, and out the wall behind him. Volgoros crashed through concrete, 12 rooms, and a lot of nasty objects that stabbed him as he flew back. The damage of the attack made the entire castle shake and ready to cave in.
The Crystal of Time flew in Kitsune's direction. Kitsune leaped up and caught it. He looked at the Crystal of Time and gripped it tightly with his eyes shut with one thing in mind. His promise.
"Ayane, Ryu. Your going to have to stay here." Kitsune said.
"What?! What are you going to do?!" Ryu yelled.
"I am going through a portal to the exact moment Volgoros stabbed Kasumi. I will be back with Kasumi." Kitsune said with his hand tightly wrapped around the Crystal of Time.
"You mean, your going to fix the past?" Ayane asked.
"I have done it before, so I am not new to this. It is my duty as a Dimension master to prevent a Dimensional world from collapsing. Your half-sister, Ayane, is the heart of your world. If she dies, your world no longer exists." Kitsune said looking at Ayane. Ayane was choked up when Kitsune told her that. She placed her hands on her chest.
"Kitsune, if you die, I swear to god I will never forgive you." Ayane said, trying to hold back her tears.
"You don't have to worry. I am coming back. I never step down on my word."
"Your eyes Kitsune. They are the eyes of Honesty. It is funny, how Shin Asuma chose you as his pupil..." Ryu said.
"He is a great teacher. I do this, because I owe him big time." Kitsune raised his hand into the air, the Crystal glowed brightly and Kitsune slowly vanished into thin air.
"Kitsune... Come back alive." Ryu said, clinching his fist.
