Naruto 40,000 Chapter 12

Naruto couldn't sleep. He was too anxious to see what kind of power the Space Marines had and how he could show off his own abilities. He layed on top bunk of his bed, Shikamaru sleeping beneath him, staring at the roof. The occasional creak of metal sounded off. Lee was with Kakashi in the room next to his, probably sleeping like Shikamaru.he turned to the small timer that was on a counter next to Shikamaru's head. He sat up to get a better view of what time it was. 7:47. I think it's time to start getting ready. He thought, and hopped to the ground with a metallic thud. Shikamaru stirred at the loud noise.

"C'mon Shikamaru, we have to go and wake up Lee and Kakashi, it's almost time to leave for the Mission." He said pushing a sleepy Shikamaru's shoulders

"Aww c'mon, just a few more minutes." Said the lazy ninja, yawning. "I'm not your mom! So when I say get up, I mean get up!" He pulled Shikamaru off the bed to the floor. Thunk.

"Owch, did you really have to do that?" He asked getting up, and rubbing his head. He looked at Naruto annoyingly.

"Yes, now c'mon! we have to wake up the others so we can get warmed up for the mission!." Said Naruto pulling Shikamaru by his shirt sleeve. Before he could knock on the door, it slid open with Lee's bright and shining smile greeting Naruto and the half asleep Shikamaru.

"Good morning Naruto-Kun! and Shikamaru!! The other two nodded in response, "Kakashi-Sensei is already waiting at the Drop pod bay, probably talking to Captain Gasler about our exciting mission!" Finished Lee his smilie getting impossibly wider. "Well then what are we waiting for, let's go!" Said a now pumped up naruto, and the 3 ninja rushed off to Drop Bod Bay 3.

Once there, they saw that Kakashi was in fact talking to a Space Marine leader, except this one wasnt Captain Galser. His armor was of black with the exception of all the golden ornamentaion around his armor, and his right shoulder pad, it was dark teal with a snake coiling around a globe like Gaslers shoulder pad. In his hand was a large mace like weapon with a 4 sided golden eagle symbol at its top. The unknown marine turned to face the 3 ninjas, and instead of the helmet that they were used to seeing, they saw that this one was a skull with sharpened teeth, the eyeholes filled with a small red dot. "So these are your disciples Kakashi?" Said the marine. "sort of, they're my comrades and friends, they just happen to be of a younger age then I." Said Kakashi, " Guys, this is Chaplain Crovus of the Drukel Legion." Crovus extended his hand, "Good to meet you three, I've heard some fine things about you and your escepades from Lord Gasler." The three ninjas shook his hand in turn. "Oh really? What'd he say?" Asked Naruto, grinning. "Good things lad. Well I must attend to my brothers and prepare thier minds for battle." The Chaplain stepped into the pod bay, disappearing behind a dropping steel door. Shikamaru, Lee and Naruto stared at the door.

"Where'd you find that guy?" Asked Shikamaru, "he's quite different isnt he?" Kakashi looked at him, and a smile formed under his mask.

"He's a Chaplain, when I asked what they do,he responded saying that they carrry on the Emperor's will on the batle field where 'battle brothers' lose thier hope most. So I guess that he would be like an extreme varient of a Commissar." Explained Kakashi. Naruto's head turned.

"Did you ask what that staff was? It looked more like a trinket, not a weapon." Asked the blonde ninja. Kakashi looked past Shikamaru, and at Naruto. "Its a 'Crozious Arcanum' a symbol of Chaplains, and appearantly, from what I was told, is that theres a button that activats an electrical field around the head, that can burn and sear the flesh it touches, so it;s no trinket," He finished. "Now enough questions, let's go get setup in our drop pod." They walked through the door Crovus did, and came upon a large group of dark teal Marines on thier knees, and infront of them all, was Chaplain Crovus, and he too was on his knee. "They must be using the communicators thats built into them." Whispered Shikamaru. They walked past the praying Space Marines, and into the third drop pod that was lined up along the far wall. The massive door slid open, revealing a small area with seats that were alittle too big for the 4 ninjas. "Well, find a seat everybody." Said Kakashi, stepping into the pod. After they were all settled in, the Space Marines had appearantly finished thier prayers, and had begun to file into the cramped drop pod. Five of which walked into Naruto's drop pod. They settled themselves into the seats fitting perfectly, and put on the safety harnesses. "Departure in 10 seconds." Came a cool female voice with a mechanicle accent to it. :you three know how to kill an ork?" Asked one of the marines. "Yeah, we have our methods." Said Kakashi. Silence followed until the pod began to rumble as it was shot out from the Direlects of Fury and into the planet, towards the ork outpost.
