(Opening ends)
"Thanks anyways!" Yang said to the shop owner as she and Weiss headed out the building. "This is hopeless." She sighed. She looked at Weiss and noticed the nonchalant vibe she was giving off. "You really don't care if we find her, do you?" Yang accused with narrowed eyes.
"Don't be stupid!" Weiss defended. "Of course I do. I'm just afraid of what she'll say when we find her." She explained as she began walking forward. "The innocent never run, Yang!" She pointed out.
Yang looks down in thought.
"Innocent?"
The girls turned around to see Roxas and Percy walking up to them.
"What do you mean by that?" Roxas asked. Yang opened her mouth to explain but Weiss beat her to it.
"None of your business," She snapped. Percy and Roxas blinked at that.
"I take it you haven't had any luck looking for you runaway either," Percy stated with one raised eyebrow.
"No," Yang sighed dejectedly. "I'm really worried,"
"Welcome to the club," Percy muttered.
"Well look on the bright side," Roxas spoke up.
"What's that?" Weiss asked skeptically.
"If we've been looking as long as you have and only just now run into each other there can't be many other places they can be, assuming their not moving around,"
'Or left the city altogether,' He thought but decided to keep that to himself.
The girls looked at each other before turning to nod at them.
After discussing the places, they had been the group separated again and promised to contact the other if any of their teammates were found.
Line Break
Their they waited. The night air was still. The clouds covered the moon completely enveloping the world in shadows. The atmosphere filled with tension and yet a certain calmness to it.
"I'm so booorrreeeddd!"
Blake sighed at her companion's antics.
Naruto had groaned out as he rolled over in protest. After Tenten had closed shop for the night the trio told her they were going out and would be back soon. That had been 45 minutes ago. They had headed to the docks and immediately took to the roof of the warehouse near where the Schnee freighter had stored the shipments.
"Naruto calm down," Blake reprimanded.
"But there's nothing to do," Naruto complained. "And Sun isn't back yet,"
"Of course there's nothing to do," The cat Faunus scolded. "We're on the roof of a warehouse in the middle of the night,"
"Yeah but I was expecting someone to come and try to steal the Dust by now," He countered as he continued to look at the clouds in the sky.
"What you wanted the White Fang to be responsible for this," She snarled. She still refused to believe it was them.
"Or someone," He groaned out. "What I mean is the people who are stealing the Dust should be here by now,"
Blake nodded. That was true.
"And so should Sun," Naruto continued. "Where's that food,"
"Stop thinking with your stomach," Blake scolded.
GGGRRRRR.
Naruto looked up at Blake whose cheeks began to turn red in embarrassment.
"Said the pot to the kettle," Naruto mocked with a grin.
"Shut up," Blake reprimanded quickly her cheeks heating up even more.
She was glad Sun hadn't been there to hear that.
Not because she didn't want to ruin her chances with him. Not that she wanted to date him. She just found him admittedly somewhat attractive.
Not that she would ever admit that.
Line Break
Ruby looked at the couple in front of her with a bit of apprehension and some other weird emotion she couldn't identify. But it was a very familiar feeling to her.
"So Penny," Ruby began. The mentioned girl looked turned to look at her. "You and Caboose huh," It was said as more of a statement then a question.
"Yep!" Caboose spoke up happily. Penny was currently on the boy's neck and was carrying the girl around. He had been doing so for a little over an hour now. How he had not gotten tired yet boggled her.
'Stupid scroll,' Ruby grumbled to herself. 'Just had to die right before I could tell Percy I found Caboose,'
It had been pure coincidence that Penny saw them and extreme luck that she had met Caboose. Especially for Penny as she got a boyfriend out of it. Well the good news that only left two more to find and hopefully they had been found as well.
"So Caboose who is my boyfriend," Peny said cheerfully. "Where do you think Naruto and Blake may be hiding?"
"Wellll," Caboose began. "Maybe a game place for Naruto and a girl place for Blake,"
Penny smashed a fist into her hand. "That's brilliant!" She complimented. "My boyfriend is so smart," She cheered.
"Yay!" Caboose cheered at being complimented.
'Kill me now,' Church thought in sadness.
"Well in haven't tried an arcade yet," Ruby admitted. "I think there's one a couple blocks ahead so we can check there," She suggested.
"Ok," Penny agreed.
"Neat," Caboose agreed though Ruby could tell there was a hint of nervousness behind the word. Caboose was nervous about meeting Naruto.
'Must have something to do with why neither had come back,' She thought. 'Well hopefully he's there, and they can work out whatever's wrong,'
"Hey Caboose," Penny asked.
"Yes,"
"I think we should hold hands now," She suggested.
"But what if you fall since I'll be holding you with one arm?"
"No silly," Penny giggled. "I'm going to get off your shoulders and walk next to you,"
"Oh!" Caboose said. "My girlfriend is so smart,"
"I do process information at a fast rate,"
Ruby looked up at Penny in confusion. What?
"Cool so you're like a genius," Caboose said gleefully. He jumped slightly as he released his hold on Penny who hadn't been balanced properly.
She fell to the ground with a bang.
"Penny?!" Ruby shouted in alarm.
Caboose looked down at her a moment later he fell over on his back as well.
"Caboose?!" Ruby shouted looking at the two in comical concern.
"Cool now we can cloud watch," Caboose said happily.
"Sensational!" Penny agrred.
Ruby looked at the two before sighing.
Yep they were perfect for each other for sure.
Line Break
"Ok what about team BUS," Naruto suggested.
"That's not a color," Blake dismissed.
"Yeah well you come up with a name," Naruto scoffed. "Ok how about the F-Force,"
"That just sounds like someone had a stroke," Blake said.
"Yeah true," Naruto said. He sat there for a moment before a lightbulb went off. "I got it,"
Blake turned to look at him. Truth be told this was an entertaining way to pass the time.
"Team APGE (APOGEE)," Naruto said with a glint in his eyes.
"…APGE," Blake questioned. "You do realize none of our names are in there,"
"That's technically not true," Naruto countered. "There's an A in both of our names, a G in Sun's name, and an E in your name,"
"What about the P," Blake countered.
Naruto thought about it for a moment. "Change it to a B ABGE,"
"That's stupid," Blake said with a deadpanned voice.
"Remind me again how you spell your team's name," Naruto asked rhetorically.
"Fair enough," Blake conceded.
"Did I miss anything?"
Naruto and Blake turned around to see Sun walking up to them holding a group of apples in his arms. He reaches them and sits down next to Blake.
"Just the birth of team ABGE," Naruto said with a cheeky smile.
Sun raised an eyebrow. Then a smile made its way on his face. "Nice,"
"Wait you get?" Blake asked.
"Yeah," Sun answered with a shrug. "He used letters in our names,"
"Ding ding ding!" Naruto said. "We have a winner,"
"But wait that's not a color," Blake pointed out in realization.
Naruto shrugged. "Don't need to be a color to be kickass,"
"True that," Sun agreed. "ooohh or we can be the ROGE's, (Rogue,). R for Naruto, O for all of us, G for me, and B for Blake,"
"Oh that's a good one to," Naruto agreed. "But which one should we be,"
The two contemplated for a moment.
"We can be both," Blake suggested. The two blondes turned towards her. "There was never a rule on having one name,"
The blondes looked at her before smiling.
"APGE by day and ROGE by night," Naruto said.
"It's perfect," Sun agreed. "So right now we're ROGE,"
"Yep,"
"Awesome," Sun nodded. "So anything, happen yet?"
"Not really." Blake answered changing the subject along with the mood. "They've offloaded the crates from the boat. Now they're just sitting there."
"And it's so boring," Naruto groaned out. "And I'm hungry,"
"Suck it up," Blake muttered. Naruto gave her a deadpanned look.
"Really," He said. Blake's cheeks instantly turned red.
"Well don't worry my foxy friend." Sun said as he tossed Naruto a couple of the apples in his hands. "I got us some food!"
Neither apples hit the ground. Naruto chomped both of them down in seconds.
"Where did you get the apples," Blake asked trying to ignore the sight she had just witnessed.
"Stole them," Sun said with a shrug.
Blake raised an eyebrow at the primate Ape Faunus. "Do you always break the law without giving a second thought?" She accused.
"Hey, weren't you in a cult or something?" Sun defended.
"OOOOOOOH," Naruto mocked. "You need some ointment for that burn Blake," He scoffed. Blake glared at him before turning to Sun.
"Okay, too soon!" Sun admits holding his hands up and looking straightforward so as to avoid her gaze.
Naruto was about to laugh before his ears picked something up in the distance. He was in a crouching position a moment later.
"Something's coming," Naruto told to his companions. The two looked at him before following his line of sight.
Suddenly the wind began blowing all around them. They looked up to see a Bullhead's searchlights flashing around for a landing spot, at the docks. A moment later it began descending in the middle of the cargo containers. After landing a ramp extended allowing a single black hooded individual with a metallic fanged mask to come out of.
Blake's heart dropped at the sight of the symbol on his back.
"Oh no..." She whispered.
"Is that them?" Sun asked but even he already knew the answer.
"Yes..." She answered hollowly. "It's them." She confirmed.
"All right, grab the tow cables!" The White Fang member who had walked out first ordered as other White Fang members began coming from the aircraft, motioning with his rifle.
"You really didn't think they were behind it, did you?" Sun asked sympathetically. There was no pity there. He wouldn't do that to her.
"No. I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right." She admitted sadly.
"It always hurts when someone you believe in lets you down," Naruto said sagely. "It's how you move forward from their shows what kind of person you truly are," He continued. "Do you let them keep disappointing you or do you do something about it,"
The two Faunus looked at him and let the words sink in. Before either could comment however someone else spoke up.
"Hey! What's the holdup!?" The soldiers turn around to look at Roman gesturing widely and coming down the ramp.
"Roman?!" Naruto says in shock.
"You know him," Sun questioned.
"Me and Red fought him," Naruto explained.
"You mean Ruby fought him while you were fighting her," Blake corrected.
"Hahaha," Naruto laughed sarcastically. "In this case no, I fought her, his goons, and him,"
"That doesn't make it better," Blake reprimanded.
"Shut up," Naruto muttered as he moved his attention back too Roman.
"We're not exactly the most inconspicuous bunch of thieves at the moment, so why don't you animals try to pick up the pace?" The man criticized the soldiers.
Blake's eyes narrowed upon looking at the man once again. "This isn't right. The White Fang would never work with a Human. Especially not one like that." Suddenly she stood up and unsheathed her katana of Gambol Shroud before walking off the edge of the roof.
"Hey, what are you doing?!" Sun yelled alarmed.
Blake landed on the ground in a crouch, then continued on to hide behind one of the containers, she peeked around the corner to see Roman berating a White Fang member holding a coil of rope.
"No, you idiot! This isn't a leash!" the man yelled at the soldier. Before he could react, Blake suddenly appeared behind him with her blade at his throat. "What the- Oh, for f-" Torchwick rolls his eyes.
"Nobody move!" Blake interrupted.
Some of the White Fang soldiers readied their guns and took aim while others equipped their swords in response.
"Whoa! Take it easy there, little lady." Roman says trying to calm the situation down.
As the White Fang get closer to her, Blake uses her free hand to go for her bow and remove it, causing the ribbon to fall away as her Faunus ears are shown to the world.
"Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?" Blake yelled. Some of the White Fang members pause at the revelation that Blake was a Faunus. "I thought we stood for more than this!"
Some of the White Fang members looked down in shame at understanding that the girl was right. They were brought out of their self-loathing a moment later as Roman began laughing.
"Oh, kid, didn't you get the memo?" He asked in a mocking tone.
"What are you talking about?" Blake asked bringing the sword closer to his neck.
"The White Fang and I are going in on a joint business venture together!" Said smugly.
"Tell me what it is or I'll put an end to your little operation." She threatened
Suddenly, the air was filled with more turbines blowing the wind wildly around the holdup.
Naruto and Sun look up from the roof.
"Well, shit," Naruto muttered.
"I wouldn't exactly call it a little operation..." Roman said as a sinister grin was now on his face.
Above them two bullheads began descending down.
Line Break
Penny, Ruby, and Caboose turned around upon hearing the noise, seeing the smoke rise from the docking bay just a few buildings away.
"Oh, no..." Ruby said in shock. She began running in the direction of the docks. Penny and Caboose begin following her.
Line Break
Grif was about to enter the motel he was staying in before noticing the Bullheads at the docks.
"That's strange," Theta spoke up. "There aren't supposed to be any shipments tonight,"
Grif looked at the scene before sighing.
"You want me to go check it out don't you," He muttered.
Theta's response was a wide smile.
"Oum damnit,"
Line Break
Blake looked at the bullheads in worry. She had not been expecting this.
Roman decided to take advantage of the distraction by pointing his gun at his feet. He shot causing an explosion which sent both him and Blake flying.
"I believe that's our cue," Naruto says as he jumps off the roof Sun follows suit a moment later.
Roman continues to shoot at Blake as she runs to avoid the explosive ammo. As Roman gets ready to fire another shot Sun lands on the man's head and jumps off of it a moment later.
"Leave her alone," Sun growls out.
The two bullheads open hatches revealing more White Fang soldiers who jump down a moment later. They get ready to go aid Roman but they are stopped as one of their fellow soldier's lands in front of them unconscious. The group turns to see Naruto walking towards them.
"Let's see," Naruto said. "There's about … 20 of you. Aw man I was hoping this would be challenging,"
The soldiers look at each other before they all aim their guns at him.
"3 plus 5," Naruto says. They opened fire a moment later. They all emptied all of their magazines. One of them threw a single grenade at Naruto causing an explosion where he stood.
The soldiers began reloaded and got ready to go back to their original task.
"You fuck sticks ruined my clothes,"
(Trip Lee Manolo instrumental starts playing)
The group stops and turns and looks in shock to see Naruto walking out of the smoke. Completely unscathed. Minus the clothes.
"Yeah I'm bullet proof," Naruto said while cracking his neck. "Unfortunately my clothes aren't" Naruto looked up at the group in front of him. "Anything else?"
The group continued to look on in shock.
"Ok," Naruto said as wild grin came onto his face. "My turn," Then he leapt at the group.
(The beat drops)
He cocked his fist back and punched one in the face sending him flying. Not giving them a chance to recover, he spun around and kicked another one in their side causing them to fall over to regain their breath.
The others seemed to have come back to their senses and began to attack Naruto. The first one to approach him brought his sword down at Naruto. Naruto blocked the hit and delivered three consecutive punches to the man's sternum. Not letting up he grabbed him and spun him around and released him causing him to go flying into some of his allies.
One of the attackers ducked down to avoid the man. He leapt forward and rent for Naruto's throat. Naruto bent backward and when his hands landed on the ground he pushed his feet up kicking the attacker in the chin sending him flying up.
Deciding that one at a time wasn't working three of them came to attack. Naruto took a step back as two came at him from the side causing their swords to clash. He reached out and grabbed their heads and hit them together. Noticing the third one coming straight at him he pushed off the two goon's heads making him flip over them. He delivered a dropkick to the third attackers face slamming them into the ground.
He looked at the remaining fighters. They hesitated.
They shouldn't have.
'Let's have some fun,' He thought cockily. One of the gauntlets covering his arms and hands fell to the ground. He held on to part of the chain. The goons looked at the display with confusion. Without needing an invitation, he grabbed on to the gauntlet now in its cylinder state and though it up into the air.
He lifted his right leg into the air. When the cylinder came back down he kicked it.
The cylinder went straight towards the goons and hit one in their gut. Not giving them the chance to recover he used his leg to pull the weight back. He released the other gauntlet and began running towards the goon as the other weight passed him.
He leapt forward sending both of his bare fist's into a goon's chest. Still in the air he pushed his fist into the goon's chest until the man fell over. As the man fell over he used the momentum to bring his feet into the air.
The goons seemed to think that this was their chance to attack so they charged at Naruto. They had forgotten about the gauntlets (now weights).
"5!" Naruto shouted as he used the momentum to bring the weights back towards I'm hitting the goons, causing them to stumble back. Not giving them the chance to recover the brawler began twirling his hands to spin himself around.
The momentum caused the weights to start spinning due to being connected to the chains. None of the remaining goons stood a chance as they were all taken out by the whirlwind of chains, and weight's caused by Naruto.
Naruto hopped back on to his feet and looked at the damage he had caused. He reconnected the chain to his backpack and the gauntlets to his hands. He really need to find a more convenient way to reconnect them.
(Song stops)
'Maybe I'll ask Tenten to add automated arms or something,' He thought to himself.
He looked around the carnage he had caused.
"Reds a better fighter than all of you," He said. "Was that really it," There was an edge of disappointment in his voice.
At that precise moment more bullheads showed up. Naruto looked up at them as they opened and even more goons then before came down. Naruto was completely surrounded.
The smile on his face grew even wilder.
Line Break
"He's mine!"
Blake had leapt over Sun as he blocked a shot from Roman to attack the man head on. While she had her qualms about fighting the White Fang she had no problem fighting the man in front of her.
Blake went in close and began striking fast using both of her blades. She began using her semblance and superior speed in tandem to attack the thief becoming a blur of afterimages as she slashed both blades at Roman from every angle.
It proved useless however as Torchwick was able to deflect every slash, stab, and attack Blake sent his way. Not one to give up Blake continued to dash, hop over, and slide around Roman to try and find a weak spot with the help of her semblance, but her enemy, while barely deflecting the attacks, managed to land a few hits on Blake until one final beating with his cane caused her to go down.
Sun didn't like that.
Not wanting to give Roman any chance to recover Sun appeared right behind Blake and disconnected his staff into two spinning circles of flame-firing shotgun nunchucks. Sun began swinging each gun at Roman while firing everything he had at the man. Gradually he began to get fast and faster as the fight continued on.
Roman seemed to be taking the same approach as he tried to shoot at Sun as well. The gun battle continued on, neither getting the advantage over the other. While Suns weapons were more flexible and easier to maneuver with allowing him to shoot at a faster pace, Roman's had reach and his vast years of more experience.
It seemed that was the moment Sun ran out of bullets. There was a second of reprieve as both looked on at each other. That second was all Blake needed to leap down and slash at Roman causing him to fall back.
However, someone caught Torchwick as he fell. He looked up to see three men. One was about the size of Torchwick, albeit a bit bigger and had long black hair and black stripes on his neck indicating him as wildebeest Faunus. Another one was a hulking mass he had two horns one smaller than the other on his head but instead of in two different spots they were both in the center. It was a Rhino Faunus This had been the one to catch him.
They were both wearing White Fang uniforms and a pair of grim masks with red marking indicating their higher rank from foot soldier.
The third one however was dressed differently. He was wearing a full body hooded cloak and his features were completely covered.
"It's about time you showed up," Roman said blandly.
Blake and Sun looked at the three new arrivals. Their guards completely up. Blake narrowed her eyes at the two White Fang members.
"Flax, Gnus," Blake said. The smaller of the two White Fang members looked up at Blake. A sinister smile slowly crept unto his face.
"Well well well," He taunted. "If it isn't Blake,"
"Gnus what's going on?" Blake asked. "Why is the White Fang working with a human,"
"You lost the right to ask questions the minute you abandoned us," The bigger of the two growled.
Blake looked at the bigger Faunus with wide eyes. "Flax," She whispered.
"Silence you traitor," Flax barked. "You have no right to say my name. You sided with the enemy, so you die with them,"
Blake looked at the man in shock. Flax was a Rhino Faunus and had been one of the kindest souls she had known. He had been with the White Fang longer then she had. But the way he spoke now.
"Hate to interrupt the reunion but we have a schedule to keep," Roman spoke up. Without warning he shot upward at a crate that was right above Blake and Sun. It came crashing down. The two had gotten ready to get out of the way when.
Schwip!
Schwip!
Something had cut them forcing them to stop. This unfortunately stopped them from moving from under the incoming crate. Without hesitation Sun tackled Blake to the ground. He began to flare his Aura. Blake's eyes widened at the realization of what was about to happen. Sun was tempting to take the full brunt of the Crate.
"No!" Blake shouted in panic. But it was to late. Sun gave her one last cocky grin before they both closed their eyes for the incoming crate.
It never came.
"I found you Blake,"
Blake opened her eyes and looked up.
Standing above her and Sun was Caboose. Who had caught the Crate that was about the land on them.
"Does that mean I win the game of hide and seek?"
Line Break
"Who's Next!" Naruto shouted as he had just knocked another opponent down to the ground. He had taken out a considerable number of the white fangs forces but many still remained. He was utterly surrounded and he didn't see an end in sight.
He was having a blast!
The soldiers looked at each other for a moment before all looking at Naruto with determined expressions on their faces.
Naruto got into a fighting stance and held his hand out and beckoned towards them. His grin becoming bigger and wilder by the second.
"Come on," He taunted.
The men got ready to charge but before they could a projectile was launched at them. They were engulfed in an explosion a moment later.
The grin fell from Naruto's face as one of confusion replaced it.
"Geez you really did a number on them,"
Naruto turned to see…
"Caboose?" Naruto asked. "What's with the new armor color,"
"Look again dumbass," the fake Caboose growled. Naruto took a closer look and noticed that there were differences in the armor from Caboose's. The main one being a different type of helmet. (Mark VI like he normally wears). Replacing were Cabooses magnum holsters were, was a belt with small black spheres that looked eerily similar to grenades hanging off of it and on his back looked to be a black metal rod.
"Grif?" Naruto asked.
"I see your having fun here," Grif said as he released his weapon into one hand. Naruto took that chance to look at it.
It looked like a grenade launcher especially with the way Grif was holding it. The was a large spear that looked like the three that were on Grif's left arm. On the bottom were two blades with a curved shape. (imagine the Grif shot)
"That your weapon," Naruto asked rhetorically.
"I call it the Grif shot," Grif answered smugly.
"Glad to see your ego isn't a problem for you," Naruto snorted.
"Whatever Mr. I can take an army on by myself," Grif countered.
"Shut up," Naruto muttered.
"Go help you friends," Grif said. "Theta picked up two high ranking White Fang officials, they landed near your friends,"
"I know," Naruto said. "I can sense them,"
"Don't' worry I got this," Grif said cockily. "Besides after this I can take a nice long nap. The more I work the more I get to sleep,"
Naruto looked at him for a second. Then he gave a single nod before running in the other direction towards his friends.
"Now then," Grif said as he took the rod off of is back. He attached it to the Grif shot as it began transforming with one of the blades rotating to the other side. "Meet the Grif ax," He said to the now transformed weapon.
"Wow he was right you do have an ego,"
Grif looked at the group. He lifted up his weapon and pointed it at the accuser. He pressed putton and a grenade was launched at him. He went flying a moment later.
"That maybe true," Grif admitted. A smile made its way onto his face as Theta began feeding data to him and into his visor. "But unlike you guys… I have the means to back it up,"
(Revelation Suite OST 1:16-2:23)
The soldiers charged at him but he was ready for them. He swung his axe in a wide arc in front of him forcing the soldiers to back off. He used the momentum to spin around. When he stopped he pointed his weapon at the group and shot off another grenade. The soldiers that had initially charged were blown away from being hit at point blank range.
The second group charged but learning from their predecessor's mistakes surrounded him to attack from all sides. The one directly in front of him went first. Took a single step back to avoid the slash aimed at his neck.
He brought his axe up hitting the attacker in his chin sending him flying up. Using the downed goon as a cover another one came from the soldier to attack.
"One behind you," Theta said. Continuing with the movement, Grif let the axe do a full windmill until it was behind him. "Now," Theta said.
Grif pressed the trigger and released the Grif Shot. It released a grenade at the attacker from behind while the recoil pushed the weapon in the other direction hitting the attacker in front of him in the forehead. The force of the hit pushed the weapon back towards Grif who grabbed the axe and swung it to his left forcing the attacker to block.
He grabbed the soldier by his shirt and threw at another soldier.
'It's time to end this,' Grif thought.
"Theta," He commanded.
"On it," Theta responded already knowing what his partner wanted. He diverted power in the armor to his legs. Grif released the sphere in the middle of the Grif Shot and put in a new one.
He bent down and leapt up into the air as the remaining soldiers closed in on him. He looked down at the men. He twisted a knob on his axe and began shooting the grenades around the enemy. But instead of a fiery explosion it was an icy one. The quickly noticed that they were trapped in a prison of ice.
"Watch your step!" He taunted as he dropped something.
The goons followed the dropped object and looked at where it landed. In the middle of a bundle of spheres with red Dust crystals sticking out.
"Oh son of a -BOOM," It was a chain reaction. The initial grenades exploded and caused the Dust crystals to go flying around the prison, blowing up everything they came in contact with. They wouldn't die but it would hurt like hell.
Grif landed outside the prison in a kneeling position. He slowly rose up and slung his axe over his shoulder.
BBBBOOOOOMMMMMM!
The explosion caused the ice person to shatter. Grif looked on at unconscious soldiers and gave a smirk.
"Amateurs," he muttered.
Line Break
"Caboose?" Blake questioned.
"Hi," The M of UMPR greeted cheerfully in full armor. "Ruby told me you were playing hide and seek too," He said. "Since I found you that means I win,"
Blake was just left speechless. She couldn't believe the boy was here. Wait did he say Ruby.
'Worry about that later moron!' Church criticized. 'How about for now we play a game of catch he said with a grin,'
Caboose looked up at Roman and his three companions. Roman looked on in shock at the display in front of him. How was this kid holding up the crate.
"Here you go," Caboose said as he through the Crate at the men.
Uh Oh.
The group ducked just in time as the Crate flew over them.
"We'll handle him," Flax growled and he and Gnus charged at Caboose who jumped back as the two assailants followed him.
"What is with kids these days," Roman muttered as he turned to look at his hooded ally. "You could've helped you know,"
"I told you Roman, I was only here to observe," The hooded figure said softly. "To see if what you had to offer was worth the trouble for my master. So far I am not impressed. And so far, I'm winning our little bet," The last coment was said with smugness.
"Tch whatever," Roman dismissed. "You just caught us on a bad day," He said cockily. "I promise my operations usually run waaayyyy smoother than this. There are just minor setbacks from time to time,"
"That does not inspire confidence," The man chided.
"HEY!"
Everyone turned to the warehouse and saw two figures on top of the roof. One of them wearing a particularly familiar red hood and wielding a very familiar looking Scythe.
"Neither does that," the hooded man said. "This was an easy win for me,"
"Oh you gotta be kidding me," Roman muttered.
"Ruby?" Blake said in shock at seeing her team leader.
"Well, hello, Red! Isn't it past your bedtime?" Roman mocked regaining his composure.
Ruby felt aggravated with him all of a sudden. She didn't know why but she really didn't like Roman calling her red.
"Ruby are these people your friends," Penny questioned as she approached the red hooded girl.
"Penny get back!" Ruby warned. She didn't think the girl had any weapons on her and she didn't want to risk her getting hurt.
That was all the time Roman needed to make his move. He aimed his cane and shot off a blast at Ruby.
"Ruby!" Blake shouted in warning. But she knew it would be too late.
Ruby turned around and her eyes grew wide at the explosive projectile she couldn't dodge in time.
"2 plus 3!" Everyone's eyes grew wide as Naruto had jumped up and taken the hit for Ruby. He flew back into Ruby but had quickly recovered. He held his and out to the girl who took. "Be more aware of your surroundings idiot," He scolded.
"Shut up," Ruby retorted "I would've been fine,"
"Yeah sure," Naruto snorted.
"Penny is this your friend?" Penny asked.
"NO!" They both shouted.
"Then is he an enemy?" Penny asked thought her eyes did narrow.
Ruby looked at Naruto for a moment. "Not exactly," She explained. "But he is an ally in this case. Penny looked somewhat confused but nodded in understanding.
"Names Naruto,"
"Penny," Penny greeted. "It's nice to meet you,"
"Same here," Naruto said. "Think you two can handle the foot soldiers,"
Ruby nodded.
"I'm combat ready!" Penny confirmed.
"Good," Naruto said. "I have a partner to save,"
Then without hesitation he leapt off of the warehouse and charged right at Gnus who was in the middle of double teaming Caboose.
"Get the fuck away from my partner!" He shouted as he aimed a kick at the wildebeest Faunus. Gnus ducked at the oncoming kick just in time.
Gnus and Flax both backed up at the introduction of the new comer.
"Another traitor huh," Gnus sneered.
"Fuck off," Naruto snapped. "Caboose you good," Caboose simply nodded. He wouold be lying if he said he wasn't nervous about seeing his leader. "Look I know it's kind of weird right now but we can discuss it later ok," Caboose once again nodded. "Good." Naruto said with a smirk. "Then let's show them why you don't mess with our friends,"
The opponents looked at each other with animosity. Then without hesitation they charged at each other.
Naruto cocked back his fist and thrusted in at Gnus while Flax charged at Caboose who began shooting him with his magnums.
The Rhino Faunus merely shrugged the bullets off. As a Rhino Faunus he had a thick layer of skin to protect him.
"Ok bullets don't won't on him," Church commented as Caboose ducked under what would have been a clothesline had he not moved. "Let's try bigger,"
Flax turned around and slammed his fist down unto the ground where Caboose had just been. He had jumped into the air to avoid the hit. Caboose held out his arm and a cartridge popped out. It held within in three dust missiles.
"Fire!" Church commanded. Sheila let lose the missiles and they hit their target, Caboose pulled out Freckles and aimed into the smoke.
"That almost hurt,"
Flax came out of the smoke still standing.
"Ok projectiles don't work on him," Church commented.
"Maybe we can ask him to be out friend," Caboose suggested.
"No, shut up," Church said. "Get in close Caboose,"
Caboose charged at Flax who only smirked. This would end faster than he thought.
Naruto ducked out of the way as a chain flew at him. Gnus was using a pair or thick arm bracers that held multiple chains tipped with different dust. He was ridiculously fast which made it hard for Naruto to get close or even try to attack. And apparently he could use more than one chain per arm in tandem and their seemed to be a motor inside the arm bracers that helped put the chains back and shoot them in multiple direction.
Great.
'Note to self, add motor to Savage Scurra for kusari fundo,' He thought as he ducked under a chain coming straight at him. Unfortunately, this caused him to miss the other chain that wrapped around his leg. Gnus smirked and pulled causing him to fall. Then the chain began to pull Naruto towards him. When Naruto was under him The White Fang shoulder pulled out a sword and got ready to bring it down.
Well at least now he was close.
"2!" Naruto unlatched the Boot that was being held by the chain and kicked it. It hit Gnus in the jaw causing him to stumble back and release the boot. Naruto rolled backward and pulled his boot back and reattached it.
"That was pretty good," Gnus snarled. "But not enough to defeat me,"
"Give me some time," Naruto retorted back. "I'll think of something,"
"No. Because you're going to die here today," Gnus said back. "You won't make it out of here and when I'm done here I'm going to kill Blake! And then all of her friends and there's nothing you can do to change it!"
…
…
"Oh you shouldn't have said that," Naruto said.
Gnus cocked an eyebrow.
(Wagakki Band – Valkyrie)
"I should inform you of three things," Naruto continued as his eyes were shadowed over. "One," Naruto's hair became more unkempt and the red in his hair and tail was slowly becoming darker. "You got your facts wrong. Two!" Naruto got out of his fighting stance and simply stood there. A red aura began to emit from him. "You should never threaten my friends. And Three!" gnus took a step back as a strange feeling came over him. Was that fear? Then suddenly the felling was gone. Naruto's hair had returned too normal along with the hue of his fur. He looked directly at Gnus and he could swear he saw his eyes flash red for a moment before returning too blue. "I've never been good at doing what others want me to do… 5 times 5!" The darkening in Naruto's fur and hair returned.
(Chorus begins)
Gnus backed up waiting to see what would happen but nothing did. Gnus gained a sinister smile. "Guess you can only talk the talk. Die!" he shouted as he thrusted all of the chains in his right bracer at Naruto. But before they could reach him some kind of invisible force stopped them and they fell short. "What?!" Gnus shouted. He retracted all of his chains and threw the ones from his other bracer. Same result. "What the hell!"
Naruto was quiet for a moment before a smirk came across his face. "My turn," Then Naruto lifted one hand and pulled back then thrusted it forward. You could imagine Gnus's surprise when a transparent hand came towards him.
"What the fuck!" Gnus ducked just in time as the arm came at him.
'What the fuck is going on!' Flax thought in outrage. His fight should have ended long ago. His semblance was an absorption type. Every time he got his by someone their aura was drained. He didn't absorb it, it just went away. The less aura one had the more exhausted they became. There were few fighters out there that could claim they could fight without aura. And even then they were all veteran Huntsmen or fighters of some sort.
So how was the kid able to go on.
The kid had decided to go hand to hand and Flax had been slowly draining the kids' aura. Yet here he stood and fought like he couldn't even feel it. And the worst part was the kid was beginning to win. The kid was absurdly strong and he had shown it throughout the fight. How was he able to hold his semblance for so long?
Apparently that was the wrong time to think as the next moment the kid blocked the hit and hit him in the chin.
"Alright Caboose lets finish this," Church commanded. "Zeroin first stance, Caboose style"
Caboose gained a giant smile at the command. "BURST BREAKER!" Caboose cocked his fist back and punched the man in key joint areas. Shoulders, Sternum, Pectoral's Stomach and Waist. Flax didn't have time to shout in pain as Caboose wasn't done yet. He whipped out Freckles and hit two latches. He activated FMJ and Rapid fire.
'Target Acquired,'
Caboose fired every single round at the man. After Caboose was done he put Freckles back onto his back. The man looked ready to keel over but he refused to.
"How is this possible," The rhino huffed out. "I was draining your aura and how could you use your semblance for so long? It's not possible!"
He looked up to glare at Caboose to find he wasn't there.
"Where did he…" He questions faded out as he felt a pair of arms wrap around him from the back
"That's easy to answer," Caboose said. "I don't have those anymore,"
Flax's eyes widened at the revelation. 'What?!'
"Now then," A third voice spoke up. Suddenly Flax felt his feet leave the ground. 'Oh No,'
"Feel the suplex bitch!" Church shouted. Then Caboose finished lifting him up and flipped him over slamming him head first onto the ground.
Flax was unconscious.
"That was fun!" Caboose said cheerfully.
"It sure was!" Church agreed.
Gnus was having trouble. He couldn't get near Naruto because the kid kept sending… whatever the hell these things were after him. Arm after arm kept coming and they seemed to be multiplying. All he could do was avoid. Then it happened. He didn't see the one coming from the other side. It wrapped around him.
"Gahh! It burns!" He shouted in agony. The hands all retracted and the one holding him brought him to Naruto.
"I need you to send a message,"
"Gahh!" Was all Gnus could let out since he was still being burned by the weird extra appendage.
"Tell your bosses, that this was a warning," Naruto said. Tell them that if they come anywhere near here then they will have Naruto Uzumaki to deal with. And tell them that whoever they send…Don't not expect them back," Naruto threated as his eyes flashed red for a brief moment again. "2," Using the extra appendage he tossed Gnus up into the air and sent three more fist after him. The first fist hit him in his chest. "Na!" The second one hit him in the sternum. "Ru!" The third one hit him in his chin forcing his body to be right side up. "To!"
Naruto jumped into the air after Gnus. He jetted passed Gnus who was still going up. He did a single flip in the air and brought his foot down dropkicking the White Fang soldier in the face sending him bulleting towards the ground.
"Uzumaki barrage!" Naruto shouted. Gnus crashed into the ground unconscious. Naruto landed a moment later. "Nailed it," He said smugly.
"Seriously naming a move after yourself," Naruto turned to see Caboose walking next to him Church floating over his shoulder. "You're as bad as Grif,"
"Whatever," Naruto snorted. "Let's go help the others," Without waiting for an answer Naruto ran to where Roman and the others had been.
And done. Man this was fun to right. I would say more but someone else wants to talk to you. Save all your questions for the next chapter please.

What's mine is mine
Naruto slowly appears but the light is dim.
and mine and mine.
He looks down at his closed fist as a small orange light emits from it.
And mine and mine and mine!
Naruto slowly looks up at the screen and slowly begins to point his fist emitting the orange color at the screen. As the camera focuses on the fist a ring is seen on his fist.
Not yours!"
The scene fades black as the last thing that can be ssen is the symbol of the orange lantern.
"Nah I don't like it," Naruto pulls the ring back and looks at it.
"What do you mean you don't like it," A voice coming from the ring said. "It's an oath. It's my oath. You're not supposed to like it,"
"I'm just saying I've heard the other lantern oaths and they sound so much cooler," Naruto complained.
"SO!"
"So ours sounds like a broken record," Naruto said. "We can so much better,"
"Oh for fucks sake," The voice groaned.
"What! You want Shukaku to have a cooler oath than us,"
"NO! Because he doesn't…does he?"
"Well there's a reason why I'm the only one in this corps," Naruto said.
"That's not the reason and you know it!" The voice shouted before changing his tune. "Still though, you may have a point,"
"Right!" Naruto exclaimed "We don't want any of the others to have better oaths. Especially Shukaku"
"I still don't see why he changed his name to Parallex,"
"Weellll,"
"What,"
"… It does sound kinda cool," Naruto said. "Maybe you should change your name as well Kurama,"
"What!" The voice shouted. "Don't be ridiculous!"
"How does Ophidian down," Naruto suggested.
"…They won't find your body,"
The orange lantern ring symbol appears on the screen. Slowly two letters are etched on the ring.
