"MAY!"
Naruto's voice booms throughout inside of the hideout after blowing the door wide open, casting in the light from outside with his Big Ball Rasengan at the ready, he waste no time and jumps in followed by a few of his clones. Each one holding a Rasengan at the ready, they each thrust it upon the defenders of the hideout, who go to attack the boy.
Further and deep in the hideout, the place shakes and trembles from the power being unleashed by the others. Ryota barely managed to stay on his feet, gripping the lab table to support himself. He turns in the direction he heard Naruto's voice, fear and shock on his face along with anger. Clicking his teeth.
"Damn that boy!"he hisses."They weren't suppose to find this place!"
He looks to Tigerclaw who remained calm, while his eyes snarled. But steps down."This is not my fight."he tells the man and starts to leave the room.
Much to Ryota's astonishment and frustration. He chases after the mutant tiger jumping infront of him."Hold up! We had a deal!"
Tigerclaw looks down at him like an insect. He snarls at the man, scaring him a bit."I am well aware of the deal! But my Master's orders come first before anything! Are you that much afraid to face the one you betrayed?!"
"...That's not what I meant."Ryota regains himself."You know as well I do, we have a job to do and a bargain to uphold. I didn't betray my village, I only did was necessary to protect it! They've already made it through the door, it's only a matter of time before they come and find everything. Your Master assured me that I would get what I wanted!"
Tired of this man's yelling, Tigerclaw was ready to just snap his neck and be done with him. It would be so easy, so very easy. Seeing the gleam in his eyes, Ryota steps back while trying to mask his own fear but it was too late. Tigerclaw in a quick flash grabs him by the throat and hold him up in the air. His grip tight, claws slowly started to dig into the man's neck.
"...Do not raise your voice to me."he threatens the man. Baring his teeth at him.
Tossing him down to the floor."They won't get this far."he goes to one of the communication pads and presses it."You know what to do." Releasing the button, Tigerclaw turns back to Ryota."I hope your skills are better than your ranting."With that Tigerclaw runs out the room.
Back to the fight, Naruto slams another one of those...creatures or whatever they where with his Resangen. He watched them get blown back but would get back up despite the fatal injury it took. He could barely get a look at them, one thing he noticed they seem to be covered in some sort of dark metal like coating upon their whole bodies, what was either blood red and dark blue wires or veins all along their bodies, their eyes the only thing shown were empty. No sign of life despite the latter being able to move and function as such. They seem to be able to transform their arm or hand into some sort of weapon, that being a blaster, to a chainsaw, buzzsaw, a blade, whatever really. On top of that they seem to be able to preform to some degree of jutus. These creatures where quick, very quick and deadly. Locking in on their target, they ran with such speed Naruto had to keep his eyes sharp and guard up.
One comes from the ceiling dropping down on the unsuspecting boy, by the time he realized their presence. A huge cyclone of wind slams right into the creature sending it flying back into the wall. Looking Naruto sees Temari with her fan out ready to go, she jumps in to assist drawing her fan back unleashing another powerful air current blasting a few of the creatures. While quickly folding her fan back to deflect and stop the one that tired to jump her from behind. She flings them far unfolding her fan casting another air current.
"Naruto!"
Turning to the one calling his name, just as Lee drops down. Kicking back one of the assailants hard into the wall. Racing passed him, Lee goes take on a few. Following Lee, Hinata came in along with Yamato, Tsunade, Kiba and Akumaru. Who waste no time to attack the incoming attackers ferociously. Both of them use their Fang over Fang to drill a path for the others, Hinata with her eyes activated and her gentle fist at the ready strikes her opponents left and right while at the same time trying to locate her friend. Getting a good look of the layout of the hideout she, gasping at what she saw. She was sure her cousin outside also noticed this too. With her Twin Lion Fist ready, she gives it her all knocking them back. With each strike she seem to notice something from it. Before she could actually process it, her attention was needed back on the fight. Dodging left, right then striking. With a clearing Naruto waste no time and rushes with Temari right next to him, with Tsunade. With quick thinking she bites her thumb drawing blood ad spreads it upon her fan, drawing it back she gets ready to release her summon, when she and Naruto stop and quickly jump back out the way from the attack.
A huge blast went off, flowed by a shower of energy blast. From the smoke came at least a dozen Kraang in their flying devices come out shooting. Tsaunde, Temari and Naruto move out the way, they get ready to attack back. When two quick small figures come to assist them, focusing the right amount of Senjutsu in their throats. Fukasaku and Shima croak in unison, releasing large, loud and immensely powerful sound wave at the Kraang. That disrupted their devices and knocking them back. Letting the three of them pass, Tsunade leading the way, she draws her fist and punches a hole onto the next level, using they descend down. Quickly Temari radios Shikamaru and the others to inform them, they made it pass the first part and are proceeding to the next area. Hearing that was Hinata's cue, Lee offers her breathing room so she could direct them to where it was needed to go. Just two more levels down and they would reach it.
Outside, the others along with Master Splinter handle the rest. Sai who took the skies to add eyes from above and surprise attacks, noticed something else coming. Quickly he informs the others upon then new threat coming their way. Whipping out his blank scroll he starts to draw. Splinter slices another creature, while quietly mourning them respectfully. Seeing another out the corner of his eyes about to attack Sakura he throws his sword at them, hitting his mark. Shocked by this, Sakura turns around to find the creature with the blade in its head. Turning around looking at Splinter who races to her, asking her quickly if she was alright, all she could do was just nod her head. Seeing she was alright, Splinter pulls out his sword and kept going. Sakura watches him in admiration and slight fright. Just seeing how powerful he was, without using any sort of chakra if he could, she wasn't sure told her, she was glad he was their team. And made her wonder if he is May's Master and teacher, just how powerful was she? Clearly stronger than what she was giving off.
Turning back to the fight, she dodges out the way knocking back a few of them while dodging a couple of them. Chijo transforms himself into a human boulder and bulldozes a couple of them down. Tenten gave a few a run for their money, unleashing her barrage of weapons in her line of sight while also leading some away. So focused on those in front she didn't see her backside, luckily she was saved just in time by her sensei who protects her. She thanks him and finishes off two of them. Guy tells her to go what she was suppose to do. Telling her he would provide her cover, understanding she rushes off. Informing Shikamaru she was en route to the area, before she could finish something comes and knocks her back cutting her feed.
Using his sand, Gaara gives Splinter a running trail at the very end, the mutant jumps off and lands his attack perfectly. He thanks the young Lord letting his guard down for a second, which was just enough time for one of the creatures to come out and try to ambush Splinter. Using his sand, Gaara grabs hold of the and with his Sand Coffin, crushes them with great ease. He flings the body away, thanking Gaara again Splinter counties to cut down his victims. Over with Neji using his rotation he manages to fend off his horde, then strikes them with 64 palms. With each strike he noticed how it effected their metal like coat. Looking closer at them, he noticed something about those veins. They were filled with something, something liquidity like before at the Land of Waves. Remembering now, he couldn't believe it was actually now perfected. Striking down another one, his full vision saw the incoming of something else. Something in the skies that spewed out energy blast, he moves quickly dodging them as it came through the trees. Using his rotation deflecting the blast. Quickly thinking he gives himself distance to study whatever this thing was. Though before he could, something or someone pops out from the ground nearly taking a bite out the Hyuga.
Clawing their way from the ground Rahzar looks right at Jonin with intent to kill and taking delight in such. Chuckling deeply with a sadistic smile in his eyes, he towers over Neji. Raising one foot the mutant slams it down on the ground shaking the Earth, splinting it open. Neji takes to the trees to avoid the fall. Though he was quick, Rahzar was just as quick. He follows him ready to pounce on his prey, slashing left and right at him. Keeping their fight in away from the ground, which Neji knew should he land back down Rahzar would have the advantage he needed. Still with his eyes activated Neji searches for points to block his chakra, but he couldn't find any through the thickness of the mutants bony body. Narrowly missing one his swipes, he reacts with his Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, pushing the mutant back through the trees. Angered now, Rahzar catches himself, settling on a branch forming his hands quickly. He inhales deeply, his chest expanded collecting the amount of chakra he needed, he reopens his mouth unleashing a huge and powerful roar that not just shook the trees but also broke and shattered a few. Its power was like that of a hurricane, Neji got caught up in it was flung back to the ground.
Rahzar's was heard throughout the whole area, its power shook the surrounding area. That caused the others outside to stop for a second and look in the direction which it came. Fear struck a few, that being Choji and for a second Kankuro.
"...Was that a monster?"Choji shook with fright. Still staring in the direction of Rahzar's mighty roar. Leaving him open.
"Choji! Behind you!"Shikamaru yells to him. Hearing his friend's alerting call Choji turns around a second after watching as the figure comes with its blade drawn ready to deliver the deathly strike.
Choji stood there frozen, unsure what to do. His feet wouldn't move nor respond to what his mind was telling him, Shikamaru reliving what happened to his sensei in his mind, upon seeing the same thing about to happen to Choji pushes off and rushes to his aid, screaming for him to move. By doing so left him open as too, another one of the creatures comes out to deliver a deadly blow upon Shikamaru. Seeing it out the corner of his eye, knowing he only had a split second to react, wasn't enough time for him save his best friend.
Back inside, Tsunade, Temari and Naruto managed to make to the right level of the hideout. It had very minimal lighting, they slow down their speed keeping their guard up and eyes sharp. Observing everything around them, the hall was long and compressed. Allowing minimal movement, so any chance of Temari using her fan was out of the question or Naruto using his Shadow Clones too. Leaving just Tsunade who had to be careful as well. Sliding her eyes left and right, she saw no sign of movement creeping and moving closer into the only direction they could go. Noticing a door up ahead, she punches it open with no regards. They step inside the large room, that illuminated a soft faint magenta glow throughout the whole room. Their eyes land upon what was casting such a light. Nothing but pure shock came to their faces, to be twisted with anger by Naruto, his eyes narrow in disgust at what he saw.
May's words echoed in his mind. Upon what she told him how she was made, his anger started to get the better of him his eyes started to turn in slants his teeth slowly started to turn into fangs. Temari looks around the room, it was like sort of freaky science experiment that went off here, a memory Tsunade knew all to well. That reminded her of an old comrade years ago. Her mind started to play upon what might have gone off in this horrible place. The sound of the door closing behind them caught their attention along with a malice snicker.
"Where's May!"Naruto snaps at them, while trying to retain his anger."DAMN IT WHERE IS SHE!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!?"
The other in the room didn't say anything for a few seconds, keeping themselves hidden well within the shadows they walk around the room promptly in an upright manner. Their fingers trail upon the equipment in the room.
"I did nothing..."they finally respond back."It's what she wanted. To protect everyone else. She's an artificial life, made by a lab. Made in a lab, she is manufactured. Nothing but a simple program, and as such was upgraded."
"What are you saying?"Tsunade questions them, following their every word. There was something hidden what they were saying. Their dark words sent a chill down her spine and not a good one. The figure stops and locks their eyes with her. Telling her everything, horrified at the revelation she glares back hard. Her amber eyes flash red, sicken by what they just told her. She charges at them full force, her punch missed them by an inch.
But that didn't stop her, she goes after them again leaving Temari and Naruto standing there lost and baffled at what was going on. A punch from Tsunade was enough to the shake the compound. Pulling her fist out of the wall, she kept going after the figure while ordering Naruto and Temari to hurry back to the others. They didn't move at first until she snaps at them furiously to leave and to hurry before something happens to May. Obeying they hurry to the door. Seeing the two of them hurrying to exit, the figure takes aim and shots a blast just as Naruto exits freezing the only exit. Stopping Temari from leaving. She turns around to the figure looking at them. They jump out the way from of Tsunade's punches, showing themselves.
Tigerclaw stood there calm and collected. Pointing his pistol in the direction of Temari, while his other was pointed at Tsunade."Neither of you are going anywhere."
Naruto pushes harder and harder, racing back to the others. The prospect of May being in danger fueled him to push harder, using the holes that Tsunade made to get down here. He climbs back out, in no time he reaches the first level of the hideout where he came in. Looking he saw the Kraang that Shima and Fukasuku subdue out cold. But no sign of Lee, Kiba or Akumaru neither Hinata. Thinking they might have went back out to help the others, he jumps to the hole he made, screaming for May.
"MA-"he stops in horror upon what befell his eyes. Standing right before him in sleek chrome metal, covering their whole body from head to toe, not even their hair was showing. Black blood red either veins of some strange lines running along their body, the figure had the shape of a female body. His eyes fixed upon them. His body froze, gripped by something he couldn't explain. He wanted to hold his breath, to conceal himself. But the figure felt his presence.
They slowly turn around to look at him, their dark black pupiless eyes stare straight into his frighten blue ones. Everything just seem to stand still, Naruto's eyes look at them fully now. He saw their left hand was shaped into a blade, while in the other holding them by their collar, a knocked out Tenten. Whom they drop to the ground coldly. Slowly their hand changes back into a hand. Still locking eyes, Naruto searches this cold dark eyes. There was nothing in there, nothing at all. His mouth became dry, as he starts to utter dreadfully the name he was hoping and wishing wasn't true.
"...M-May..."his eyes look at them with sorrow and pain."What...What..happened..?"
There was no response only silence. Between the two, they kept their eyes locked. Even though his eyes started to water and dry up Naruto kept them focused on them. He starts to reach out a hand towards them, letting his guard down. Something the figure took advantage of, in one quick swipe they had him by the throat, in an iron grip. Dangling him in the air and proceeded to squeeze the very life from him.
