Hey guys and girls.
Welcome back to a new chapter to RWBNY. And the final chapter to the 3 chapter special for RWBNY.
So the last place left off was where Kasumi had finally returned to her original team making it Team JNPRK once more.
As well, Velvet's Team will be coming soon along with Sun's. Looks like the gang is coming together for a second time.
As well, here is a list of Kasumi's and Naruto's new powers.
Naruto's new powers:
Phantom Drive: By using the new power he has gained, Naruto is able to use this to cause massive damage. The stream in his arm switches to become purple while a phantom like arm comes into being. Can be used to create a powerful shockwave to knock enemies into the air and destroy larger enemies in one fell swoop. Though powerful, Naruto's movements become sloppy and wasted due to the strain and weight the arm puts on him. Parts of his body show scales as a result of using this power. Can encompass his body to create a towering ethereal avatar.
Phantom Sight: In a sense, they are an upgraded version of Naruto's Beast Sight. But in addition of Naruto seeing Grimm, he is able to see the Auras of his comrades and other Hunters and Huntresses in the area. When activated, Naruto gains a few veins around and under his eyes while his eyes turn to have a red iris. Only weakness of such a form of sensory, Naruto's eyes are extremely sensitive and will cause him to go blind for a few minutes should someone blind him with anything.
Demon Mode: The upgraded and in a sense, successor to Naruto's Beast Mode. By taking on this new and amazing form, Naruto is able to lay waste to nearly anything in his path. Two gigantic wings protrude out his back that fold under his arms to look similar to his trenchcoat. A scale like carapace covers his body while his hair becomes longer to form two tusk like features on the sides of his face. Along with the skin on his chest pulls away to reveal his ribcage. (A.N. Yes, it's Dante's Devil Trigger from Devil May Cry 3. Modified the look a bit).
Demon Mode along with VBM will be explained further and how they are tied in at a later stage along with his other powers.
Kasumi's new powers:
Farsight: Thanks to the saving grace of her brothers' blood which has turned her into a being exactly what Naruto is, her left eye has become what it is now. A full black sclera with a purple iris along with a single slitted pupil. Pushing her new Aura into her demonic eye, she is able to see anything and everything at a given distance but cannot see past 12 Kilometers. (Over 7 miles). The draw backs are that she has to readjust her depth perception every time in her left eye. That is also the reason she has an eye patch in her pocket every time she uses this ability. Also keeps her demonic eye hidden from the rest of the world.
Beast Mode: Thanks to her new Aura courtesy of her brother, Kasumi is able to fully take on the form of a monster just like Naruto's previous Beast Mode but more feminine. Even though she needs to still come to grips with her new powers, she has proven to be extremely adept in fending off Grimm attacks while in the form.
Those are the new abilities the two siblings now have. It is still unclear if Kasumi also has a Variantal Beast Mode or a Variant Mode for that matter.
Enjoy the new chapter.

Chapter 25: Fall Of A Devil.
Sitting at a study table in his room, sat Naruto. A piece of paper on the table while a pen rested in his hand. He was busy writing down a few things. Things he had his mind on. Things he needed to get onto paper. In 2 days, Blake would be turning 18. He had already gotten the gift for her, which was hiding under his bed. But for some reason, he was just stuck. Hearing a knock on the door, Naruto clicked his tongue as he crumpled the paper and threw it behind him which conveniently landed under his bed but was slightly sticking out from under the bed.
Getting up from the table, he opened the door and found Neopolitan. She stood there with a PDA in her hands as she looked into Naruto's eyes.
"You along with Pyrrha, Ruby and Blake have been asked to see Madara regarding a new mission." she said with Naruto arching an eyebrow.
"Sounds important." said Naruto with Neopolitan nodding her head.
"It is. And, if it's okay with you..." trailed Neopolitan blushing up a storm as her eyes darted from Naruto to anywhere else. "...but please can you please stay safe on this one."
Naruto meerly smirked as he placed a hand on Neopolitan's shoulder.
"I promise. I'll be fine." said Naruto giving her a kiss on the cheek making her go even more red. Maybe redder than his sister's hair.
"Good luck." she called as Naruto walked away, but not before giving her a mock salute.
On the way, he stumbled into Pyrrha, which then made them catch up with both Ruby and Blake.
Walking to the Headmaster's office, Naruto, Pyrrha, Blake and Ruby talked amongst themselves as to what this new mission was gonna be. According to the rumors, there was major movement out somewhere near who knew where. That was just about all they could gather from what they were told. Neopolitan accompanied them for a bit before heading off to put in her daily rounds and ensuring she'd not run off and betray them.
Sure Naruto had his trust in her that she'd not betray them, but he did state he'd take responsibility should she slip up and prove to go back on her word. Looking out the windows as it poured with rain, a sigh escaped Naruto's lips as the moved along the hallway.
"Getting cold feet already?" joked Pyrrha with Naruto looking behind her.
"Not even close." said Naruto as they finally got to the Headmaster's office.
Giving the door a few whacks, they were awarded with Madara telling them to come in. Opening the door knob, they found Madara reading over some documents that looked to be sensitive information.
"You're wondering why I called you in?" stated Madara not breaking eye contact from the documents.
"We've got trouble." said Madara handing the documents to Naruto with Blake, Ruby and Pyrrha reading over his shoulder. Slowly pulling out his tube, he swallowed down a pill as he read over the documents.
"You've gotta be kidding me." said Naruto after a few minutes and putting down the documents.
"No jokes. Some scientists headed out to try and find a way to ensure our borders are secured. But they went dark along with their escorts." stated Madara with Naruto thinking on the matter as Pyrrha snatched the documents from his hands.
"So we've got some scientists out there. Probably dead or dying. And their team went silent?" stated Naruto looking to Madara who was nodding his head.
"We'll do it." added Naruto with Ruby putting down the documents on the table.
"Great. Now seeing that this storm is pretty bad, we can't offer you any form of infilration or air support. We can only give you a troop carrier. It's got no guns on it by the way." said Madara with Naruto nodding his head.
"Oh. One more thing. Officer Schnee is off doing some recon with another group. So you won't be able to get hold of her for some time as she's up in the mountains." stated Madara with them nodding.
Getting out the office, the group chose to assess their gear before heading to where all the vehicles were kept. This was just gonna be a regular find the scientists to see if they were gonna be okay and then head back. Trivial stuff but every bit helps in the long run. What could possibly go wrong?
With their gear assessed, they headed down and got inside a troop carrier. Naruto drove while Pyrrha sat in the back along with Ruby. Blake sat in the front seat with her husband. It was very much a game of rock paper scissors with Pyrrha to see who got to sit there. And seeing that Blake won the fight, she sat in the front.
After a couple minutes of driving, they came to a stop just outside a large cylinder like building that rested by the cliff where the ocean was. Deciding to radio it in, Pyrrha got on her comms.
"Uh, Basecamp? This is Echo Team. We've got a building out here. Grid coordinates Echo Romeo 2-7." said Pyrrha.
"Echo Team. Basecamp here. Coordinates received. That's the one spot the scientists scanned earlier before moving on. Terrain is very unstable. Be careful where you step as well. One wrong move and you'll see a sheer drop from the cliff and onto some jagged rocks at the bottom. As well, there is a nice view of the sea from that spot." came Basecamp over their comms.
"Copy that. Going radio silent for a few. Out." said Pyrrha as the switched off their comms.
"I vote we check out the place while we're here." said Ruby.
"I vote. Yay." stated Pyrrha.
"Yay." replied Blake.
"Sure why not." responded Naruto as they walked to the building.
But as they got closer to the building, they soon found themselves once again ambushed by Grimm, both Pyrrha and Ruby switched their weapons to be weapons and they opened fire while Naruto and Blake charged them using their weapons. The Grimm in question were two King Taijitu. Using quick attacks on the Grimm, they managed to succumb the one with Pyrrha finishing it off with a bullet to the head, while the other slithered into the building.
Blake was seen charging after the one that went into the building, and soon silence over took the area. Slowly, Blake walked into the building but knocked a can that was by her toe, this caused a few screams to be heard in the black abyss before her as scientists were seen running past her. They were also the same scientists that went missing. But their escorts were nowhere to be found.
Naruto along with Pyrrha and Ruby, who were making their way to the building soon watched as the scientists sprinted to them while a King Taijitu slithered out of the gaping hole. Time seemed to slow down as they moved in slow motion towards the three of them while the snake continued to advance after them.
"Well, guess we found the scientists." said Pyrrha with Ruby and Naruto smirking.
But before any of them could charge forward, Blake burst out from a window behind them and took off, another King Taijitu hot on her heels. Soon enough they heard a cry of what sounded to be a hiss. Looking to the top of the hill they were on, they spotted another King Taijitu coming down from the hill. They were very much now trapped.
"Everyone, stay together." said Pyrrha as they ensured they had eyes on a snake before them.
"Now would be a good time to go Demon Mode." said Ruby in a slight tremble while looking to Naruto.
"I'm trying." said Naruto as he struggled to call on his Demon Mode.
But sadly, he couldn't really activate it seeing as his mind was very much clouded with slight panic. And when he activated it last time, his mind was clear.
"Come on." said Blake not wanting to become snake food.
"Ugh. We're gonna have to take one of them down, if we want an escape route." stated Pyrrha seeing that Naruto's Demon Mode was very much non compliant right now.
But just as the one behind them, which was the one Naruto and Blake had eyes on, just as it was about to attack, a black blur shot out of no where and slammed into the snake. Both of them were completely taken back as they watched the monster that they had never seen before attack the snake and then kill it before moving onto the other two snakes.
With the last snake under it's paw, it pressed hardly and instantly, the head shattered as the King Taijitu died then and there. With the giant snake now dead, the monster slowly raised its head and showed its face. The overall skin texture was full black with a black hue about it. Two to three horns protruded from both sides of its head as red lines were seen running along its body. It seemed to resemble that of a tiger but more evil and demonic. (A.N. Look up Dyaus Pita from God Eater).
"What the fuck...is that?" questioned Naruto as they stared at the beast before them.
It was well over two storeys big for a Grimm, and yet, it didn't look like a Grimm.
But seeing that its playthings were now dead, it turned its attention to the four Huntsmen before it with the scientists as well. Seeing that the beast would most likely charge to the scientists and kill them, Ruby surged forth in hopes of killing it. Or at least buying a few minutes for the scientists to get out of here.
"Ruby." called Pyrrha.
But her call was in vain as Ruby was already engaged with the beast. Clicking her tongue as she turned toward her husband.
"Naruto, get Ruby. We're leaving." said Pyrrha with Naruto nodding his head.
"Got it." said Naruto grabbing Osiris and charging.
"Blake, back up Naruto." said Pyrrha with Blake switching her weapon it its gunner form.
"You got it." said Blake as she began to fire.
"What about us?" asked a scientist. "What are we supposed to do now?"
"Please, save us." begged another.
Pyrrha meerly stood there. Frozen in absolute fear. Fear because she couldn't even make an idea as to save them or a way for them to get them out. Every fibre in her being screamed to get them to the truck, but how do they go about doing that?
Ruby surged forth as she jumped high into the air, her scythe above her head, ready to kill the thing with a strike to the neck and end it all. But as she got close to the beast, she found her attack ineffective as she was blocked, because of the tail of the beast. She soon found herself flung over to the side, with her hitting the ground on her back. Finding the wind knocked out of her, she coughed out loud with a bit of blood flying into the air as she just lay there, unable to move seeing that she was winded.
Blake used every single bullet she had and unloaded on the beast. But sadly, non of the bullets hit as the beast dodged them effortlessly and soon charged at Pyrrha and Blake. Pyrrha was still dealing with the scientists and trying to get them to go. Naruto could be seen sprinting full force at the thing, but he was thrown off his feet from the wind that trailed the beast as it moved past him.
"You should go. And get as far away as you can. We'll come back for you in the truck." said Pyrrha to the scientists.
"Pyrrha!" called Naruto.
Snapping out of her daze, she turned her head to find the beast right ontop of her with a paw raised. Slamming the paw down, resulted in a massive surge of electricity which killed a few scientists but left both Blake and Pyrrha temporarily paralysed as electricity sparked off their bodies.
Slowly getting to her feet, Ruby struggled as she found she was still too winded from being thrown like that, but it was still more manageable. But Naruto meerly stood there, paralypsed as he watched a few more scientists get killed from the beast before them.
The rest of the scientists paniced in fear and took off as fast as they could. The beast right behind them. Lying on her stomach, Pyrrha watched on, still paralysed from the last attack as the beast chased after the scientists.
"Nar...uto...please protect...everyone." she said as she looked to Blake who was also still very much paralysed along with her.
Slowly taking a few steps forward, Naruto gripped tighter with Osiris as small blue arcs of lightning were seen pulsing off Osiris. Breathing in sharply as he gave off a cry of vengeance, Naruto charged forth at the beast. But Ruby was very much ahead of him as she zeroed in one the monster, giving the scythe in her hands a swing, she watched as the thing jumped away and landed a few feet away from her. Growling in frustration, she switched her weapon to become a gun and began to fire a few bullets at the monster. And funny enough, she actually saw the thing smile.
Watching as the beast dodged all the bullets, she watched on as it jumped into the air and charge up an electrical attack projectile. Switching the weapon back to become a scythe, and using it as a shield. Blocking the attack and regaining her composure, she soon found the thing nowhere to be found.
Scanning everywhere the beast may hide, she soon jumped in fright as a splash of water from, most likely a hole in the ground that was flooded with water and shoot up creating a gyser effect.
But she let her guard down then and there as the beast jumped out and atack her. Seeing no time to block, she took a full smack to her side. Sailing through the air as her red cape was slightly shredded from the attack, she soon collided back first with a rock, and soon after, dropped to the ground like a rock. Finding herself unable to fight anymore, she fell to the ground with her head hitting a small sharp rock, causing the side of her head to start bleeding. Ruby was out cold.
But the thing wasn't finished playing with its toys, being the scientists. Looking over to the side as it spotted the last 12 of the scientists, it jumped forth and cornered them off. Blocking their attempt at an escape. The scientists cowered in fear as the beast slowly approached them.
But Naruto was seen, sprinting full throttle down to the beast. Letting out a cry as he jumped into the air and held Osiris up to end it, he soon found himself defenseless as the back of the beast opened up with what looked like wings but had blades on the ends open and slice Naruto across his abdomen. Falling to the ground as he ragdolled about and came to a very hard stop, he slowly struggled to his feet as he looked at his injured stomach. Blood flowed out his stomach as he struggled to his feet. Looking to his left hand, he found it to be covered in blood. His blood to be exact.
His vision soon began to blur as he found he was losing quite the amount of blood. Using his Aura as a means to use First Aid, he soon found himself in a bit of pain from using his Aura. Guess not everything was upgraded yet.
A roar from the beast shook his mind off what he was occupied with and turned to the scientists as the beast closed in on them, its new apppendages beside it. Summoning up every bit of strength he had, he charged forth. Never mind the blood gushing from his lower body. He made it just in time as the beast was about to give a swing of its wing like blades. Managing to stop the wing then and there with Osiris, Naruto held on for dear life. Trying his best to stay the beast. The beast itself just meerly smiled as it chose to fight Naruto. And actually gave off what sounded like a laugh.
Giving off another cry of a valiant push, lightning arcs of a blue nature was soon seen flowing off his body as the scythe in Naruto's hands began to glow with the tribal tattoos soon following afterwards. But it was all for naught as the impossible played out before him. With a simple easy slice...Osiris was severed into two parts. The blade flying off as time slowed down again. Naruto watched as the blade landed a few feet away while he then looked to the handle in his hands, lacking the blade to be called a weapon. Now it was just a stick.
'No.' thought Naruto as he couldn't believe his eyes that the very weapon Mito used to take down so many Grimm in a single slash, was destroyed like it was.
But his thoughts were cut short as he was soon impaled from the back, through the back, as the beast drove in one of the blades on its wings into Naruto from behind. Pinning him to the ground like a piece of meat.

Looking behind him to find the blade in his back, he slowly tried to get up. His body shaking as he did so. But he soon coughed out more blood as he stopped.
Looking over to the handle of Osiris, Naruto watched on as he vision soon began to blur from blood lose. But the cries of the scientists pierced his ears as some were killed then and there with the beast's wing like appendages were soaked with blood. Scrunching his eyes closed, Naruto gritted his teeth with pain at not being able to save them.
"Stop it." he said in frustration as the cries of panic, fear and despair flooded his ears.
But those cries fell on deaf ears as the beast killed scientist after scientist. Slowly rasing his head as tears of pain and sorrow began to flow from his eyes.
"You gotta stop." said Naruto looking upwards to the beast tears gathering in his eyes.
His eyes soon widened in horror as he witnessed several bodies on the beast's wing, and soon to become its food. Watching as the beast slowly opened its mouth to the healthy meal, Naruto gave out one final cry of plea.
"STTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP!" he cried.
But once again, his cries fell on deaf ears as the beast got ready to eat the last of the scientists. Wait, Naruto had a trump card to play. His Phantom Drive. Should he use it, he will be able to get the beast off him and no longer to be impaling him and hopefully turn the tide against this beast. But just as purple lightning began to arc about Naruto's right arm with the stream in the arm glowing purple, he was awarded with another blade slamming into his body. This time, severing his right arm from his body. Watching on as his right arm flew for a bit as blood flowed from his arm. Naruto watched as the arm landed a few feet away from him with the purple stream in his arm dying out and soon going black and no longer moving through the arm.
Stunned and completely now going into a bit of shock from losing a limb like that, Naruto could only feel regret. Regret for not being strong enough to fight them properly. To fighting the Grimm properly. To not being able to save anyone other than his own skin.
The beast soon very much got what it wanted as it devoured the people. Blood flowed out its mouth as if it were a waterfall and pouring all over Naruto's body, giving him a nice blood shower. Feeling himself being coated in the blood of those he couldn't save, Naruto soon began to choke on his breath as tears welled up in his eyes. The beast looking down to him as it smiled, which was very much creepy, for what it had just done.
Giving out a pained cry, Naruto cried hard at the lose of those innocent lives. How he wasn't able to protect them. How he wasn't strong enough to help them.
"I'm sorry." said Naruto as he tried to get up, which was rather hard to do considering he only had one arm.
But soon a bullet was fired at the blade that held Naruto down, looking over to where the bullet came from, Naruto spotted Ruby. Blood flowing down part of her face as he held her scythe up, using the gun function on it. But she soon showed signs of fatigue and collapsed on the rock she was leaning on.
"Ru...by." said Naruto rather weakly as he felt the blade in his back move.
Soon the blade was removed from his back with the beast running toward Ruby, hoping to finish off the annoying pest that was bugging it. As this was going on, Naruto struggled to his feet as he pulled his only arm to his side as he began to push against the ground to get up.
"Wait." he said weakly as the beast bolted towards Ruby.
End song.

But soon the beast was stopped in its tracks when a few bullets were sent its way. Looking to where the shots came from, he spotted Pyrrha and Blake ontop of the hill. They looked to have overcome to paralysis done to them earlier.
"They're alive." said Pyrrha.
"Naruto, Ruby. Get outta there." said Blake over her comms.
Slowly getting to his feet as his body felt extremely heavy, Naruto grabbed hold of the handle to Osiris and used it as a crutch to assist him with walking. Which was proving to be really hard seeing that was bleeding a lot and missing his right arm.
The beast was relentless in its attacks as it charged up some electric projectiles to fire at the two pests before it. It was soon launched at the two girls who ran from cover, while shooting at the electric shots and managed to destroy them before they could be hit by it.
Finally making to Ruby, Naruto got to his hanuches and helped up Ruby. He slipped Osiris on his back and hefted up Ruby, using his body to support hers. Looking over to the side, a few feet away, to find the beast engaging in attacks with Pyrrha and Blake, Naruto watched as the beast charged up another attack and fired at them resulting in an electric explosion to happen.
With the two girls ducking into cover to avoid being electricuted, the beast looked over to the other two and spotted Naruto slowly walking away with Ruby leaning against him.
Every step for Naruto was harder than the last. His body burned and ached. He had lost a lot of blood and he was fearing that he may not make it. He never thought of death. And now that he was on death's door, he was very much scared shitless, yet for some reason, it had a warm feeling mixed with it being cold as ice. Coughing up a bit more blood, he soon found his legs giving way and him dropping to the floor.
"Naru...to." said Ruby as she looked to Naruto through blurry eyes before passing out again.
"It's gonna be alright. Just hang in there." said Naruto coughing up blood as a roar was soon heard behind him.
Looking behind, Naruto found the beast charging full speed at them. There was no way in hell he was gonna out run this thing. Not in his current condition. So he chose one other thing instead. Sacrifice.
Summoning up whatever strength he could left inside him, he threw Ruby over to the side a good few meters away while the beast still charged forth to Naruto.
"Naruto." called both Pyrrha and Blake over the comms as they looked to find Ruby thrown to the side while the beast closed in on Naruto.
"I'm sorry." was all Naruto said as he closed his eyes and lifted his head to the heavens.
Past memories flashing through his mind as he lifted his head to the heavens. But the one thing he last saw that flashed within his mind. Was Mito who turned to Naruto with a smile on her face as she layed a hand on his head with her ruffling his hair.
"Keep pushing forward." were the words that echoed through Naruto's mind as he waited for the end.
But it didn't come the way he thought. In his clouded mind and blurred vision, Naruto failed to notice that he had walked straight to the edge of the cliff. And all it took was a single step from the beast to set off a chain reaction.
A large chunk of the cliff gave way with both Naruto and the beast falling down the sheer face of the cliff, down to their watery deaths. Blake sprinted to the cliff with Pyrrha hot on her heels.
Once Blake made it to the edge, she found herself being grabbed and pulled away from the edge by Pyrrha.
"What are you doing? We need to get him back." barked Blake only to be slapped through the face by Pyrrha.
"I know what you feel. And I don't blame you for wanting to go in after him. But just take a look down there. Sheer jagged rocks. Even if he did survive, he'd be dead once he's hit those rocks." stated Pyrrha with tears gathering in her eyes, with Blake looking over the edge.
Both Naruto and the beast were no where to be found. And it was right then and there that Blake broke down in tears. Naruto. The man she loved and even married, was now dead. All she loved was gone. All she cared for, ripped from her hands.
Pyrrha held her fellow woman who was in a sense her sister type thing seeing they married the same man, as she too began to cry for the man and husband she had just lost. Looking over to the side, she found Naruto's severed arm in the mud. The blade of Osiris not far off from the arm.
"You idiot." she said with tears rolling down her cheeks.
After a full 5 minutes of them crying. Pyrrha used Ruby's cloak which layed a few feet away and wrapped the arm and cloak up. Loading Ruby into the truck, they headed back to base to tell them the mission was a failure.
A few hours later. Haven Academy.
The truck soon came to a stop with Pyrrha climbing out the passagner seat with Blake climbing out the driver's seat. Blake got Ruby who was still out clod out the back while Pyrrha grabbed the red cloth off the seat.
Walking in, they soon found that people gave them a wide berth as they walked to the Headmaster's office after dropping Ruby off at the infirmary. They filled him in on the details when he asked where Naruto was. After the two girls explained everything to Madara on what happened, they were excused and walked in a somber manner to their dorm room where everyone had gathered to have a party for everyone being reunited with everyone again.
But they soon fell into silence when they noticed Ruby's red cloak in Pyrrha's hands.
"Why do you have my sister's cloak?" asked Yang with Blake trying to stay composed.
"She's okay, she's in the infirmary getting treated, there...was a bit of an...an accident." said Blake as tears began to flow again from the memory still fresh in her mind.
"And...? Where is Naruto? Is he still giving his report to Madara?" asked Velvet only to have Pyrrha tense up and soon shake with sadness as she placed the cloth on the bed.
Slowly unwraveling the cloth, everyone gasped in shock as they saw Naruto's right arm before them along with the blade of Osiris. Piecing it all together, they all chose to mourn the death of Naruto as Weiss, Yang, Pyrrha and Velvet broke down in tears along with Blake. Everyone else hung their heads in a moment of silence for the departed soul.
Once everything had settled down with everyone choosing to be alone for a bit, Blake made her way back to the room Naruto slept in. Pushing the door open as she sluggishly made her way to the bed in the middle left which Naruto slept in, she sat on the bed and hung her head.
"Why? Why did you leave me?" she cried as she opened her eyes with something catching her eye. A crumpled piece of paper that was just barely sticking out from under the bed.
Getting onto her knees, she found not only a crumpled ball of paper but a rather large white box tied with black ribbon.
Pulling both out she layed the box next to her as she uncrumpled the paper. It was written in Naruto's handwriting. It read:
I never thought it would come down to this. Where I actually write down something in order to help me remember something to say.
Wow, everything's happening so fast. Just got married to three beautiful women and now Blake is turning 18 in 2 days. I've been meaning to get something amazing for her. But she insists that I am all she needs. I want to give her something that she'll know will make her happy. Something that will show that we are together. So when I saw this, I knew she'd enjoy it. Plus, she has been eyeing this for a while.
So from the bottom of my heart. Happy birthday. My kitty.
Naruto Stryker.
Setting the letter down as she soon began to have tears flowing down her cheeks, she pulled the box onto her lap as she lifted the lid up and peered inside. It was a beautiful cream collared coat that looked similar to the oner she had been eyeing in the shops of Mistral. Pulling it out the box she tried it on and found it to be an exact fit for her. (A.N. Blake's white trench coat.)
"It's gorgeous. My love." she said as she covered her mouth and began to cry.
End song.
With Salem.
Sitting on a bone like throne, holding a glass of some very expensive wine as she watched the events that happened regarding Naruto and the almost death of Ruby. Sure she wanted both to be killed then and there. But with one out the picture, this was very much tiping in her favour. The beast she had sent had done it's job rather well.
Soon the doors opened up to reveal the very same monster that fell down the face of that cliff along with Naruto. The poor thing was drenched in water as it walked over to its master.
"Ah, my pet. Have a good time with your new toys?" questioned Salem with the monster letting off a low growl.
"Not to worry. The girl will be next. And you will kill her. My Dyaus Pita. My dear Tyrian. But well done on getting rid of the Beast Of Beacon." she said with the beast moving away from her and curling into a ball to get warm.
"Your days are numbered Mistral. I suggest you start counting." she cooed as she took a sip from her wine.
Unknown islands. Morning.
Walking along the beach of the island, a beautiful woman with long black hair that looked to be done in a lazy like braid that was very much floor level and was tied with bandages. She soon was followed by some kids that seemed to have too much energy for their own good. None of the kids looked anything like her, but she was often called: Mother by them as she treated them like they were her own.
Her outfit consisted of a revealing ruby-red corset which revealed her midriff and the top half of her breasts. It is possible her clothes have been torn during her adventures from the past. The red corset had an insignia visible just below the belt which it hinders below. The same belt rests off her hip and above her torn, black jean trousers, which now look like to be shorts. The jean trouser has a chain, multiple belts wrapped around her right leg and a few which spiral towards the lower half of her left. Over her corset, she wore a black jacket in the form of a robe with red-velvet lacing; the jacket was ripped towards the bottom and also looked to be tightened towards her chest by the belt.
She also was wearing a protective armor on her feet as well as one extra armor plate on her right shin. She wore the same armor in the form of an arm protective gauntlet which rests above the same material as her coat; the material arches its way up to and wraps around her middle finger, highlighted by a rhombus-shaped piecing. Her left arm is wrapped and bandaged up, alomst like she was hiding an injury from the past.
Smiling as the children played infront of her they made their way to the beach to collect shells. Even though she was called Mother, she was really a teacher as well as a doctor.
As the children collected shells, she spotted some of the children playing by a rather large heap of seaweed and branches. Must have been a rather high tide to have that many swept in in one spot. But it that were the case, why was the rest of the beach still clear? Her suspisions were soon confirmed when one of the children screamed as they scrambled away from the heap that showed part of a body. A leg to be exact.
Slowly making her way to the body, the children staying glued to her from behind, she threw the seaweed and branches off the body to reveal a rather mangled corpse of a rather young man. His snow white hair fell over his eyes while his clothing was drenched in water. A large stab wound on his back that clearly went through, and a missing right arm. Together with what could be a stick on his back on his trenchcoat. Looking to his left hand, she found he was married seeing that he had a ring on his finger.
"Is he dead?" asked the one child.
"Looks like it." replied the woman as she continued to look over the body. Only to have one of the children gasp.
"The fingers." said the one child making the woman look to the child.
"His fingers moved." stated the child pointing to the only hand on the man.
Looking to the only arm he had, she watched as the middle and ring finger twitched a bit. Then twitched a second time. Flipping the body over only to find a nasty slash across his gut, together with another stab wound in the same position as the one on his back, she hissed in the sight of such pain. Putting her ear to his chest, she gasped as her eyes widened in shock.
An extremely faint heartbeat echoed through her ear.
"He's alive. Impossible." she mumbled as she looked over to the body then to the children.
"Go back to the village and get Maya. Tell her to bring a stretcher as well." she ordered.
"Okay Mother." said the children as they ran back to the village which was more inland.
"Just hold on. You're gonna be okay." said the woman as she began to perform CPR to get the water out his lungs by placing her hands on his chest and beginning compressions.
And scene.
What a way to have things go down eh? Naruto, Pyrrha, Blake and Ruby go on a mission to track down some scientists that have gone dark, which resulted in the mission to be a complete failure.
Not only that, but they had lost Naruto. Everyone who knew Naruto feels utter despair and sadness as a result from what had happened to Naruto, seeing that he is now dead.
But what is this? A sudden turn of events with a body very much being Naruto's being washed up on some beach and on top of that, he is still very much alive, considering how much blood he has lost, together with being impaled and having a limb chopped off for good measure. Yet he still refuses to die. What a badass.
Stay tuned for more of RWBNY.
