Princess Of Taken
Chapter Nineteen: King's Fall, Queen's Rise.
*Threshold, Darkness Zone*
Bullets were flying around as taken flooded the area, glyphs lighting up atop platforms. Naruko felt certain links, such as the glyphs when activated would pull platforms to the mortal realm, along with the link Oryx had too, leaving him vulnerable.
That task was easy, with it being completed with no trouble and Hyphen collecting Oryx link to the realm, the power overflowing into the group's shields giving what they called an "aura of immortality" at that time Oryx sent in some of his higher ranking Ogres, the light eaters, to get rid of the Guardians but with the aura surrounding them, they were easy to deal with and with their destruction left behind small orbs containing the light they had collected, slightly tainted with the darkness, the mix was volatile and when more light met their composition, they caused an explosion dangerous to Oryx. This made the killing of light eaters a very key task.
Oryx attempted to stop the group from doing this by dragging them into a realm of fog and summoning one of his Echoes to distract the group, the event was familiar to three of the fireteam members, as the act was suspiciously related to what happened in their previous fight with Oryx.
Eventually Oryx got angry on them, throwing his large clawed hands into the ground uncaringly as he tried to hit the light users but with their agility they dodged out of the way.
The group eventually joined back together in the centre, Taken forces overrunning them.
"This does not look good." Shark said as he threw out a grenade, its void flames blocking the path a large amount of Thralls were running through.
"Hyphen! Throw up a shield as strong as you can!" Naruko yelled. Hyphen nodded and threw he hands out wide, the titan's shield bubble glowing strong. Taken started piling their shots into it, thralls scraping their claws against the light barrier.
Naruko held her hands close together then spread them widely. Fragments of her blade glowing strongly. She began chanting in a dark language, the ethereal fire growing stronger around the shards as they slowly clicked into place.
The Guardians worked to keep the shield up as they sent all of their conserved light into Hyphen, the claws of thralls and elemental bullets pelting the bubble, never stopping.
Suddenly, the bubble shattered. A large amount of darkness bringing the Guardians to their knees. They turned and saw Naruko, grasping onto a sword.
"It's truly time to play, prepare yourself king! This fight is between us!" Naruko called, pointing the blade's sharp edge to Oryx's overlooking figure.
"Truly an ant like you knows you cannot defeat me! That blade will not scratch me!" Oryx laughed out as he hammered his fist into the ground in an attempt to hit the fireteam.
Naruko brought Willbreaker into a guarding stance, a wispy glow expelling from the blade to create a shield.
The oversized fist met the sword, the force crushing the ground beneath Naruko as the force went through her. She struggled as she pushed against the fist, she pushed the attack out of the way.
Oryx grit his teeth as he pushed of the platform, floating into empty space and sending orbs of darkness towards it, not caring about his own forces.
Naruko leaped out and sent a single strike to each of the energy balls, making them reflect back.
Oryx dodged, and swooped back to the platform with his claws ready to bring a stronger force.
The Taken Princess jumped out the way, the force of his clawed hands making the ground crack beneath them.
Oryx tried to sluggishly bring the hands back, but were stopped by the four guardians as they dug their own swords into his palms, effectively hammering them into the ground.
Naruko jumped at the opportunity and ran across Oryx arms and taking a strong leap, her repaired blade poised at the ready to strike.
The blade met Oryx's glowing chest cavity. The inner light of his dark power slowly getting drained into the sword.
"No... You shall not defeat me like this" Oryx said calmly as his large figure faded; only leaving half his power drained.
Naruko floated gently in space, gliding to land where the guardians, recovered from the darkness of the blade, finished off the Taken.
"We shall finish like how we started!" The familiar growl called from atop a pillar.
Oryx was back to his smaller size, but the form seemed to be wavering, like he didn't have enough energy to stay together. He also held a blade made of darkness, as his other blade had been recovered and used to make different swords.
Naruko floated to the higher ground, her gaze meeting Oryx's skeletal visage. An unknown signal causing both of them to confront in midair combat.
Oryx, while worn out, was a strong opponent in the art of swordfighting and kept Naruko on her toes for most of the fight, but eventually they met for one last chain of strikes and flew back, Oryx looking much more worse for wear with one of the wings of his headgear being sliced off and a large chunk of his chitin chestplate having been gouged out by multiple sword swipes.
Naruko seemed a little worn out, with her Uzumaki heritage and her vast energy sources helping with her recovery.
"Let's end this with one more strike." Naruko called, getting ready for one more strike.
"You are not worthy of my power, a cocky child trying to play adult games!" Oryx replied as he brought his blade to the same stance.
They charged towards each-other, their blades met, a strange shattering sound resonated as the dark blade broke like glass and Naruko went right through it. Willbreaker met with Oryx's body and was plunged deeply into the side of his body.
As the remaining energy from Oryx's being was drained by Naruko's Willbreaker his wavering form slowly turned to dust, which was slowly separated into the deep depths of space.
Naruko met with the ground once again, taking note of the guardians, resting after their long quest.
"Well that is it." Shark spoke from the location he was sitting on.
"Shame we lost one of our own, her death won't be forgotten." Radien said sadly as Naruko sat next to her.
Just then another set of footsteps clacked across the stone, the resting group getting weapons ready again.
"What's this about someone being dead?" The person responsible for the footsteps called.
Familiar Arc Blue locks made Naruko gasp, Kyuubi was alive! She tackled her to the ground and gave a bone crushing hug, tears of joy leaking from her eyes.
Kyuubi winced a little bit.
"Easy there, being speared by a tail still leaves quite the stinging sensation." She said, chuckling.
Naruko gave a childish giggle, then got up from atop of Kyuubi's body and held a hand out to boost her up, the hand was accepted.
*Later, the Tower*
"The taken threat has been removed from the equation." Naruko said to the Vanguards.
"But what about the Hive?" Ikora asked.
"Well... the Dreadnaught's Hive is under my control, but that is only one faction really. There is also the fact that they despise the light, if Guardians were to go into the Dreadnaught they would have to prepare for a fight." Naruko answered.
"Is there anything you can do about this?" Zavala said.
"Well if you didn't come to the Dreadnaught you would be alright." Naruko stated.
"But... what about the sweet loot! Hadium flakes are hard to come by!" Cayde cried, making the other two vanguards stare at him.
"Urgh... Alright. I'll send a shipment every Armsday." Naruko sighed.
Cayde did a small jig.
*FOD Base*
Eruko was working on her surgery skills, using her dummy/immortal Hidan when all of a sudden the familiar swirling sound of a portal opening was heard from the hall nearby.
"Princess is back!" She screamed happily, one eye glowing brightly as she reached for the door and practically blew it off the hinges accidently.
In the hall A Naruko trying to get her bearings heard one off the doors make a large unnatural crack is it flew into the other side of the hall.
Eruko ran out the room wearing a strange purple robe with a shield marking on the front with a doctor's coat over it, she turned to Naruko and raised her glowing blue hand and made a beckoning motion.
This caused Naruko to feel something grabbing her as she was dragged towards Eruko and was pulled into a large gripping hug.
"Where have you been? The whole group has been pretty much lost without you!"
"Ehh... yknow, getting your power drained, working for a couple years to get it back. The usual" Naruko said casually.
Kyuubi, who had come through the portal with Naruko asked, "Did anyone miss me?"
Eruko broke the hug apart before saying, "Well your sister did, and little Gaara has been wondering where her 'Auntie Kyu' is."
"Is that so?" She chuckled as she started walking away.
Suddenly, the location that Naruko's rip came from flashed back into activity as a small body was sent through it.
"Oh my goodness..." Naruko gasped as the body slowly rose from the ground.
It was a rather chibi looking Oryx, staring angrily with an aura of child smugness
"That's right child you left some of my dust on your body! Your travel gave me power to reform and now I will have my GACK-" Oryx was cut off abruptly as they were picked up.
"What a cute creature of such innocent youth!" A purple garbed monster gasped as she held Oryx tightly.
"What are you doing you miserable woman!" Oryx growled in a... quite cute way.
"Don't take that tone with me dear! Otherwise you won't get any pie today!" Toriel said strictly as she slowly walked away with the struggling Hive God.
"I am a god you puny thing! How dare you treat me in such a-" Oryx's voice got even more silent until the others couldn't hear.
The remaining two sweat-dropped, Naruko even more, knowing what Oryx was like beforehand.
"Well... I'm going to go and do something else. You take care of yourself, Eruko."
"You too princess."
"Princess? I think I'm more worthy of Queen now, with me dethroning the previous King!" Naruko laughed.
OVER
I guess this was pretty cool, ran into a few blocks along the way but I got it done!
Here are some extras, too.
*where are the deathsingers?*
"Sister! What are you doing! We have to get ready the other guys have already been taken out and it's us next!" Ir Anuk screeched at her sister from her room.
"I am busy!"
"Halak we need to help father what are you doing!" Anuk said as she flew into Ir Hanak's room.
"Seriously sister father could kill us if we don't do our jo- OKAY WHAT THE F-"
*Later*
Both Deathsingers were making strange sounds which could be heard as giggles as they both held the most adorable things in the universe.
Somehow Konan and Yugao had made it into their chambers.
Here is another
*The creation of a dark one's favourite (a little bit after the end of this chapter)*
"Yknow Toriel, while I find your pies to be simply irresistible there is something you could add to make it unbeatable." Naruko asked after swallowing a mouthful of Cinn-Scotch Pie
"What is that, my dear?" Toriel asked with a calm but determined face, keen on finding out.
Naruko just pulled out a carton and started shaking it, causing Toriel to twist her head like a confused dog.
"Raisins?"
*Timepassthing*
The kitchen was filled with angel song as the oven opened, revealing a perfectly crusted pie, filled with a soft brown filling flecked with the shrunken currants.
"Oh my..." Naruko and Toriel said in sync as the scent of Cinn-Scotch Raisin pie tingled their noses.
"Well if it tastes as good as it smells, I could die happily." Naruko said simply, with her eyes sparkling.
"Then let's not dilly dally, my child! We must find out!" Toriel exclaimed.
*A couple hours later*
"Toriel? You there? I need you to help me- woah what happened here?" Eruko said as she noticed both Naruko and Toriel face first in a pie each.
Naruko lifted her face out the pie, gave a small smile and whispered loud enough for Eruko to hear it.
"Gods came down from the heavens and blessed Toriel and I with confectionary genius."
#Pie2016.
Anyway, that whole adventure in the time of Guardians was three years long, that means the whole Shippuden thing starts now. So that means Akatsuki, Tailed beasts and all that.
Anyway, NrMania returning to orbit.
