Naruto of the Skycrew
The next morning Clarke, Bellamy, Finn and Raven go to the crashsite of the dropship with a few others as security to see if they can find any survivors or salvage anything useful.
"Clarke shouldn't be out here." Finn says observing Clarke, who's busy looking through the wreckage.
"Her mom was on the ship, she's looking for answers. If you wanna help her, find me the black box, hard drives. Anything that could explain why the ship crashed." Raven says.
"Stay sharp, grounder retaliation is coming it's only a matter of how and when." Bellamy alerts his security crew.
"Can you blame them?" Finn asks.
"No, I blame you." Bellamy replies.
"Maybe if Jasper hadn't freaked …" Finn starts to say but gets interrupted by Raven telling him "If he didn't attack first we all would have been killed."
"Why they're coming doesn't matter anymore, we need to be ready for when they do. We're on our own now." Bellamy says.
Raven looks at Finn and sees him staring at Clarke, who's inspecting a turbine and smelling something terrible.
Raven sees this and yells "Clarke, stop." running over to her.
"Rocket fuel?" Clarke asks.
"Hydrazine. It's highly unstable in its non solid form. If this stuff catches fire, we're all done for." Raven tells her, dipping a rock into the small puddle of Hydrazine.
"Fire in the hole!" Raven yells and throws the rock to the edge of the wreckage, causing a massive explosion considering it was such a small amount of Hydrazine.
"We need to clear the area." Raven alerts Bellamy.
"OK, we move in formation. Weapons hot, we need to get back before dark." Bellamy tells them and they make their way back to camp.
At camp half a day later
"Hey, I don't see your brother and the others yet." Monty greets Octavia who's walking up to him, while he's standing post at a part of the wall.
"Hey, that's OK, I didn't expect them to anyway." Octavia tells him and then turns around listening to some kids talk to Jasper, who is bragging about killing a grounder when he blew their chance at a peace treaty.
"How did you stay so calm? I would have been terrified." A girl asks him.
"Fear is only a problem if you let it stop you right?" Jasper replies.
"That's not even his line. Finn said that." Octavia tells Monty.
"Come on Octavia, he enjoys being their hero, let him have his moment." Naruto tells her sitting on a log next to Monty.
"I saw the grounders in the trees, it's like nothing I ever felt, you know pure animal instinct took over and when I pulled the trigger 2 grounders dead." Jasper tells the group around him.
"Pure animal instinct, more like pants wetting panic." Octavia jokes causing Naruto to chuckle.
"You don't really know what you're made of until you have a moment like that, you know when it's kill or be killed. When there is nothing between you and the tip of the spear." Jasper tells them.
"OK, this has to stop." Octavia says to Naruto and Monty.
"Come on let us have this." Monty tells her.
"us?" Octavia questions sitting down in Naruto's lap.
"Look at him, he's a folk hero. They even gave us a bigger tent." Monty tells her. A noise then comes from outside the walls and a guard shouts "Somebody's at the tripwire!"
They look over the wall but can't see anything. After a few seconds one of the guards sees something moving and shoots at it twice.
Naruto stands up and puts Octavia down, tells her "I'll check it out, be right back." yawning a bit.
"Naruto then goes outside, with the 2 guards from the main gate following him and they come across a bloodied person. Naruto rolls him over and sees that it's Murphy.
"Shit Murphy what the hell happened to you?" Naruto asks him surprised, looking over his bloodied form.
"grounders, tortured me." Murphy chokes out.
"Alright, come on I got you." Naruto tells him, lifting him up and carries him into the dropship, where he and Octavia start to clean his wounds as best as they can.
Soon after, Bellamy and the others come back and they immediately go to the dropship after hearing what happened from the guards.
"He said he was tortured by the grounders." Naruto tells Bellamy and Clarke, when they enter.
"If you were with the grounders maybe you know things that could help us." Bellamy tells him.
"You're right, but he really was tortured, his fingernails were torn off." Clarke tells him checking on Murphy.
"You and the grounders should compare notes." Finn tells Bellamy.
"What did you tell them about us?" Bellamy demands to know.
"Everything." Murphy replies crying a little.
"Once he's better we'll find out what he knows." Clarke tells Bellamy.
With Jasper
Jasper is getting ready for his shift when Harper comes into his tent.
"Hey Jasper, you're on in 15. Here, in case you get hungry." She says handing him an apple.
"Thanks, I'll be right out." Jasper replies.
"I like your tent, maybe I could come by after shift, hear about the bridge again?" Harper asks.
"I'm actually busy later." Jasper says.
"Oh yeah, OK, some other time then. See ya." She replies sadly and leaves the tent.
"Are you kidding me? That was there for the taking." Monty asks sitting up, having stayed hidden under his blanket to give them some privacy.
"Harper? She's low hanging fruit." Jasper tells him.
"Don't tell me you're still holding out for Octavia?" Monty asks him.
"I gotta go." Jasper replies, going to their entrance of the tent.
"Jasper, Octavia is not gonna happen, she's with Naruto and they seem pretty close." Monty tells him.
"Go float yourself Monty." Jasper snaps.
"I'm just telling you the truth." Monty says shocked by his outburst.
"No, you're telling me your truth. I'm not like you anymore." Jasper replies.
"What the hell does that mean?" Monty asks confused.
"It means you're jealous. People think I'm cool and that upsets you." Jasper tells him.
"No, I think you're cool only no one had to die for me to see it." Monty says.
"OK, you know what? This is my tent, Bellamy gave it to me and if you have a problem with that, maybe you should find somewhere else to sleep." Jasper says.
"Maybe I should." Monty agrees.
"Then do it." Jasper says.
"I will." Monty replies and Jasper walks out of his tent.
Clarke goes to the communication tent, after she helped Murphy the best she could and sees Raven sitting at the radio.
"Oh, sorry I didn't know anyone was in here." Clarke says.
"You OK?" Raven asks.
"Yeah." Clarke replies and goes back to the entrance of the tent.
"Still nothing from the Ark. It's like they shut it down from their side. It could be solar flares blocking the signal." Raven tells her.
"But you don't think so." Clarke guesses.
"I got a bad feeling." Raven tells her.
"There is a lot of that going around." Clarke replies.
"Clarke wait. I'm sorry about your mom. Oh my god, Clarke your eyes." Raven tells her when she sees that Clarke's eyes start bleeding.
"Clarke, where is Clarke?" Someone yells from outside and Clarke hurries outside to see Connor dropping to his knees spitting out blood.
"Connor?" Clarke asks concerned.
"It won't stop." He tells her.
"Clarke, what's happening?" Raven asks her, when another person starts to cough and spit out blood.
"Raven, get away from us. They're the ones who brought Murphy in." Clarke tells her.
Clarke goes into the dropship and kneels down to Murphy asking him
"Murphy, look at me. I need you to tell me exactly how you escaped from the grounders. What happened?"
"When I woke up, they forgot to lock my cage and there was no one there, so I took off." Murphy tells her after spitting out blood.
"They let you go." Clarke realizes and Naruto goes over to her asking concerned "Hey Clarke, are you OK? Cause you don't look so good."
In that moment Bellamy walks in and Clarke tells him "Bellamy stay back."
"Did he do something to you? Then what the hell is this?" Bellamy questions looking at Murphy but gets a head shake 'no' in response.
"Biological Warfare. You were waiting for the grounders to get revenge for the bridge. This is it and Murphy is the weapon." Clarke tells him.
"Murphy, think can you think of anything that's useful? Did you hear anything?" Clarke asks him.
"They are vicious. Cruel." Murphy replies.
"You wanna see vicious?" Bellamy asks annoyed, getting closer.
"Hey don't whatever this thing is it spreads through contact."Clarke tells him and Finn jogs in asking "Clarke?"
"Finn you shouldn't be in here. No one should." Clarke tells him.
"I heard you were sick. Clarke what is this?" Finn asks looking around.
"I don't know, some kind of hemorratic fever. We just need to contain it before." Clarke says before one of the sick ones in the dropship spasms and dies.
"Is he?" Bellamy asks.
"He's dead." Clarke confirms.
"What do we do?" Finn asks.
"Quarantine. Round up everyone who had contact with Murphy, bring them here."
"And everyone they had contact with?" Bellamy asks.
"Well we have to start somewhere." Clarke tells him.
"Connor, who was with you when you found him? Who carried him in?" Clarke asks.
"That'd be me." Naruto tells her.
"Then how come you don't show any symptoms, you have been with him the longest.
"Probably because of my powers." Naruto whispers in her ear.
"true that might be the reason, but for now stay in here." Clarke guesses.
"Alright. Bellamy please do me a favor and tell Octavia, I'm under Quarantine for a while, but I'm doing just fine." Naruto says.
Bellamy nods his head and takes off to find his sister.
Octavia comes in to get checked out anyway after Bellamy informed her about what's going on, since she has had close contact with Naruto.
"No visible symptoms yet, but she should stay here for now I'll put her with the others, who are not yet showing signs on the third floor. We'll let you know if her condition changes." Clarke tells Bellamy while Octavia looks at her questioningly.
Bellamy leaves trusting Clarke and Naruto to take care of his little sister.
"What the hell Clarke?" Octavia asks confused.
"I need you to sneak out again." Clarke tells her.
Octavia sneaks out and goes to Lincoln's hideout, asking him if he has a cure for what's going on but Lincoln tells her that there is no cure, either you get better or you die. He then asks her to come with him west to the coast and use a ship to get to another clan which would take them in, because the grounders are gonna attack at dawn. Octavia tells him that she can't come with him because she's with Naruto and Lincoln tells her that he's still gonna wait for her. After their conversation she hurries back to the camp to tell the others that the grounders attack is coming at dawn.
AN: Hey guys, happy new year!
I'm gonna update this chapter in a few days probably, since this is only half of the chapter content I usually publish but I didn't want you guys to wait too long.
Since there is so much demand for this story it's likely that I'm gonna keep working on it mainly for the time being, with my other fanfictions only getting an occasional update or none for the time being. Additionally I'm considering writing this fanfic plus my Z nation x 100 crossover simultaneously, because I can use some of the same conversations (those taken out of the show directly) and thereby safe time.
Also sorry if I won't publish as fast for the next week or so but I'm gaming a bit more plus I hurt my shoulder making prolonged writing uncomfortable. But hopefully I'll get back to my fast update rate soon, but we'll have to see.
I think I'll publish an empty chapter and then delete it, so you guys will get an announcement for the update, since I'm not sure if there is an announcement if I update an existing chapter.
Anyway thanks for the many reviews and the support.
:)
