Chapter 26: Kill Aizen Vol.1
"You're sick!" Urahara screams gripping the bars on the cage tightly.
"So who will it be Edward?" Aizen asks with a sly smiles spread across his face. Ed stands there wide-eyed staring at Al and Heonheim.
"I think you broke him, Aizen," Xemnas laughs while Pein and Itachi exchange nonchalant glances.
"Well, Ed?"
Ed opens his mouth to speak but no words come out. L clenches his hands into fists.
"You can't do this!" he yells slamming his fists into the ground.
"Shut up!" Grimmjow growls. Aizen begins to count down.
"Five, four,"
Ed takes a staggered step forward then freezes again.
"Three, two,"
Ed glances around in a panic.
"On-"
"Alphonse…"
A silence hushes over the room.
"Very well," Aizen smirks slamming his right hand down. Heonheim is thrown to the ground. His body makes a loud cracking noise as it slams into the floor.
"You're a monster…" Shigure exclaims in a harsh voice. Aizen just smiles as Heonhiem's body lays motionless in a pool of blood.
"There. Now let Al go!" Ed yells
"Not so fast," Aizen booms as he pulls Al over to him.
"Let him go!" Ed screams.
"But the game isn't over yet. I have a very special job for our winner," Aizen says glancing over at Itachi and Pein.
"Xigbar," Axel curses under his breath.
"I knew something seemed fishy," Xigbar chuckles.
"How could you lie to us, Roxy?" Demyx asks truly crushed.
"Shut up, you fool! Go alert Xemnas that we found them," Xigbar demands. Demyx runs his hand through his hair with a sign then opens a portal.
"I can't let you do that," Axel shouts tackling Demyx to the ground. Naruto kicks Xigbar's arm causing him to drop his Sharpshooter.
"You sneakily little…" Xigbar starts but is cut off by Sora whacking him with the Keyblade.
"Get Niume out of here!" Sora shouts whacking Xigbar again.
Xigbar grabs his Sharpshooter and fires it at Sora. Sora deflects it with his Keyblade and it ricochets into your right arm. You feel the sharp sting and fall to the ground.
"Roxas!" Axel yells struggling to pin Demyx down. Roxas stares back and forth between Axel and Sora frozen.
"Are you ok?" Naruto asks. You shake your head trying to stop the blood gushing from your arm. He picks you up and runs you over to Roxas.
"Snap out of it!" Naruto shout slapping Roxas in the face. Demyx pushes Axel off of him.
"Dance water! Dance!" He shouts pulling out a sitar.
"Fu-" Axel begins before a wall of water washes over him.
"Axel!" Roxas yells trying to run over to him, but Naruto grabs him.
"Just open a portal and get us out of here!" Naruto commands. The little blonde-haired boy nods and opens a portal.
"I'm not sure where it leads," Roxas whispers, "but it should be safer than here." Naruto nods and enters the portal. You watch Roxas run to his friends as the portal closes.
"Why am I always running away," you think before everything goes black.
"Water always trumps fire!" Demyx sings as Axel stands up soaking wet.
"You are so dead." Axel growls as steam rises from him.
"Why don't you show yourself?" Sora shouts as he looks up into the sky. A shot is fired, but Sora easily dodges it.
"Damn, kid. Stop moving around," Xigbar curses to himself firing more rapid bullets from his gun.
"You know, it isn't fair if you hide up here," Roxas taunts pointing his duel Keyblades at the back of Xigbar's head. Xigbar turns around quickly.
"R-Roxas, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be helping Axel?" Xigbar asks.
"I think Axel can handle himself. Shouldn't you be helping Demyx? You know how hot-headed Axel can get," Roxas smirks while Xigbar scoffs.
"Man! That was close!" Demyx shouts dodging Axel's punch.
"Hold still you little water pixie!" Axel yells throwing punch after punch at Demyx. Demyx dodges them all fluidly.
When you wake up, you find yourself surrounded by leaves and trees.
"W-where are we," you ask in a tired voice. You sit up then feel a sharp sting in your arm.
"I think we're in some kind of jungle," Naruto replies looking up at the moon. You look at your arm and see it is bandaged.
"Did you do this?" you ask looking at Naruto.
"Yeah, Sakura taught me a few basics," he smiles. You shiver runs up your spine as a gust of cold air blows through the jungle.
"Are you cold?" Naruto asks.
"N-no," you lie brining your knees into your chest. He smiles then puts his jacket over you. You feel a blush sweep across your face, but you shake it off.
"How are we going to leave this place?" you ask. Naruto tilts his head to the side.
"Huh, I'm not sure," he replies. "I guess we just wait until they get done with their fight and come get us."
"How long could that take?"
"Not sure."
"I need to help them…," you whisper to yourself pulling your knees closer and resting your head on them.
"Then ditch this loser and follow us," a voice whispers. You snap your head up and look around.
"What's wrong," Naruto asks looking around too.
"N…nothing," you answer lying your head back down. Naruto stands up.
"Something is coming," he whispers staring straight ahead of him. Footsteps grow louder a figure begins to appear. You force yourself to stand up and watch closely. A gorilla walks out of the darkness and into the moon's light. Naruto sighs with relief while you smile.
"I think we're a little too paranoid," you laugh. A figure runs through the trees beside you causing you to freeze.
"Yeah," Naruto chuckles walking up to the gorilla and petting it. He didn't seem to notice it so you shake it off.
"Niume…" you hear a voice whisper behind you. Another shiver shoots up your back.
"Niume…" it whispers again.
"That voice…," you think to yourself.
"Alphonse?" you whisper turning to look behind you. Surely enough, Al is standing in the darkness of the jungle. His body is bloody and beaten.
"Alphonse wh-" you begin but he holds a fingerer to his mouth signaling for you to be quiet. He points to Naruto.
"Niume, you have to get away from him. He's working with Aizen," Al whispers. Your eyes grow wide. You look back and see Naruto playing with the ape oblivious to anything else.
"Come with me, Niume. We have to go and save Ed," Al continues motioning for you to come over to him. You slowly walk over to Al making sure that Naruto doesn't notice. Once you do get to Al, he hugs you.
"Al, what happened to you?" you ask looking at all the marks on his body.
"Aizen…He forced Ed to do… terrible things…We have to get back! We have to go save them before Aizen kills every one!" Al whispers in a frantic voice. You take his hand.
"It's going to be ok, Al. How do we get back?" you ask.
"The ship is over there," he says pointing a random direction. He pulls you deep into the jungle toward the ship then something clicks.
"Al, how did you know I was here?" you ask stopping.
"Roxas told me," Al answers not stopping. "Come on, we have to get back."
"That's weird because Roxas doesn't know where I am," you respond. Al turns to you.
"It doesn't matter how I found you. All that matters is that we have to save Ed," Al says with a look in his eyes you had never seen before.
"You're not Al," you whisper. A smirk forms on "Al's" face that causes you to take a few steps back.
"Naruto…" you whisper as you turn and run back. When you get to the spot where you left Naruto, he is still playing with the gorilla.
"Naruto! Stop!" you shout as you try to shake him, but your hand passes right through Naruto's body.
"Genjustu have always been Itachi's forte," a familiar voice chuckles. You turn to see Pein sitting on Naruto's beaten body.
"W-what's going on," you stammer backing up until you bump into someone.
"Grab her, Itachi," Pein demands twirling a kunai between his fingers. Itachi's cold hands clench onto your wrists.
"No! Let me go!" you scream thrashing around. Itachi's grip tightens.
"Well, this is our lucky day. We've got the nine tails and the girl," Pein smirks standing up, and grabbing Naruto by the collar.
"Please…just let him go! I'll go with you if you just leave him alone!" you shout trying to struggle against Itachi, but Pein just laughs.
"Why would I let him go to keep you if we already have you?" he asks creating a portal. You search your brain desperately.
"Because if you keep me, I can make you as strong as Aizen," you lie. Pein freezes.
"If you give me to Aizen, he'll be stronger than any one, and you'll still be his lackey. However, if you let Naruto go, I will make you as strong as or even stronger than Aizen. Then he would be your lackey," you continue. Pein ponders for a moment.
"Interesting," he whispers.
"Are you ok, Al?" Ed whispers trying to comfort his brother.
"Yeah," Al replies sitting next to Ichigo.
"You're injuries are just as serious as Ichigo's," L says examining Al's broken arm and bruised face.
"Those assholes are going to pay," Kyo curses clenching his fists.
"How?" Ichigo asks in a horsed voice. His eyes are staring off into the distance. "They've won. Don't you see that? We can't stop them now…"
"I liked it better when you where unconscious," Kyo whispers to himself.
"I hope Niume is safe…" Al whispers. All the boys pause.
"Do you think they captured her?" Ed asks in a low voice. Al bites his lip.
"I hope not…"
Aizen sits at the table with Grimmjow to his right.
"I sense a disturbance," Aizen says to him. "I trust the Akatsuki less and less."
"I could take care of that for you," Grimmjow smirks with bloodlust in his eyes. Aizen thinks for a moment.
"They're in the Jungle," Aizen says staring at a glass of water.
"Do you want them dead or just badly wounded?" Grimmjow asks.
"Dead." Aizen replies as the glass explodes. "But do not harm the girl." Grimmjow nods then disappears.
"These powers are beginning to become more than I can handle," Aizen thinks to himself, "I must find that girl fast…"
"Lord Aizen?" Xemnas asks interrupting Aizen's thoughts.
"Xemnas, that Sora kid is beginning to become a real nuisance especially since he has Axel and Roxas. Take care of them or else I will," Aizen warns. Xemnas nods his head then vanishes into a portal. Aizen stands up and walks to the other side of the table. He kicks Heonhiem's body out of his path then stops in front of Saya's body.
"Who would have thought you would be so troublesome," Aizen whispers.
