Hinata comes charging right at you, her hands coated in chakra taking the shape of lion's face. Her eyes activated. Thrusting her right first at her target, you manage to dodge just in time before her blow landed. She didn't let up and came at you again and again. Each one seemingly faster than the other, you managed to dodge them just in time. Keeping your guard up, you jump back to give yourself distance from her.
The go to rush her too, she blocks your strikes. The two of you engaged and locked in intense spar. Neither of you letting up against the other. It was forbidden between the two of you. It wouldn't help if either of you let up on the other one. To hone ones skills, you recall Master Splinter telling, you must keep going forward pass what you can do. Add more to it. More. The only thing holding one back, is themselves. Words you had begun to take to heart since this new form you could take. Ever since after your successful operation and clearance of good health. You had started back up to train, though of course had to do it in secret to begin with, but soon didn't hide it as much. You had to get an understanding of this new ability. Your skin able to coat itself back into that metal form, that seem to have a mind of its own. Coming out when your body felt in danger or anything of the sort or when you felt fearful. Which was good but bad, as it stripped you of your mobility and you felt yourself sinking away. Losing yourself.
It was Fear, that seem to take a tight hold on you. After all you had experienced, you had become fearful of so much. Being on the line between life and death. The hell you endured. The results of your actions, being unable to handle things on you. Just so much. The fear of knowing Shredder was still out there and causing harm to this world. The fear it was still your fault, even though others told you it was not. The fear as to why Gaara left you here in Konoha. The fear of not knowing. Everything just piled on. Though you had tired to push it away and back, to mask it. Doing your best to act like everything was alright. But one could not keep it hidden forever.
The day fear took hold of you, the metal came like a rushing wind and covered your whole body. Luckily no one was around when it happened. But one thing was sure, it scared you. When it happened. It happened again, when you where doing simple work at the hospital. You heard a painful scream and startled you, your whole body rushed with adrenaline and you became coated in metal skin. Causing you fall down the flight of stairs. After that Tsunade found out, and too was shocked by this development but more so upset you hadn't told her. As where a few others. Test where run on you to figure out what and where it came from. The results simple really, there where still traces of the strange stuff or virus in your system, something Tsunade thought she had eliminated, or better yet sealed away. It was after that she told you fully what she did. During your operation, she managed to get enough of the virus. Which was why you had have a blood transfusion. Provided by Naruto, Kakashi and herself. She told you than, she used mainly Kakashi and Naruto's blood, mixing it with the crushed up Kraang power cells that would allow their blood to be accepted into your body. Theirs was the closes ones to yours, your body would less fight against. Along with her own, though her blood she had to do a little more extra. Since what you where, from what Splinter told her. You being in a the abundance of life, being made so differently there was only thing she could think of that would help to fully bring you back. And in a sense cleanse your body, or just hold back most of the virus. Combing one of your charms, mixed with sealing, her blood and another factor infused to make your seal. Which came undone just a bit when those factors of fear came into the equation. Because of that, she felt you shouldn't be back in the field. Something you didn't like, which made you want to control that form.
This fear that hold over you, you didn't like it. You had to find a way to get over it. What better way than to throw yourself head first in it. You had come to your own conclusion with this form, you needed to remain extremely focus to gain better control. While at the same time keep your mind steady and aware. To move your body like normal. In any situation. If you could just get that down than, would be enough.
Which brought you here to sparing with Hinata, she was well aware of your condition. Hesitant at first but agreed to help you. The two of you would wonder off away from others to training in private, the first couple of times you ended up frozen and barely able to prevent it from taking over your body and mind. But you pushed through, further and further. Just controlling a little bit would be enough. It was a strain on your mind, as it would waver between here and gone. A few times your mind would be taken over and becoming nothing but logic and merciless. Hinata nearly got killed, if not for the intervene of Neji. Who caught on what the two of you where doing. Assuming he would have reported it Tsunade, he did the opposite and decided to help out. With the two of them when he could, made it more challenging than ever. But you kept going, and going. Your mind always taking a toll, you would suffer headaches, blackouts, whatever mental damage. Yet you still kept going. If not for their Gentle Fist that some how could bring you back, only if it landed right on seal upon the upper center part of your chest. You would be lost.
Hinata kept coming at you, you dodge. Than began to coat yourself in metal skin. At that moment, out of the blue Lee came to deliver a blow. Yes, Lee along with Tenten ended up joining. They found out, and against their better judgement mainly Tenten's provided assistance. This startled you, which wasn't good. Your body froze, gripped by fear. Preventing you from moving. And Lee landed his strike, kicking hard, making you crash through across the ground.
He realized he had put to much in that hit, everyone did. Tenten berates him from being to hard. Hinata and Neji hurry over to you. Hinata panics calling to you, but there was no respond. Lee and Tenten reach you just a few seconds after Neji and Hinata. To be shocked by what they saw.
Normally you would be on the ground unable to move, slowly sub-coming to the virus. But instead, you stood heaving heavily holding the area Lee managed to land his blow, coated in metal well half of your body coated in it. They didn't know if you had control of not, your eyes lock with each of theirs giving them a serious gaze.
"I-I'm no-not-Fear will not control me. I am my own."You stagger standing tall, the metal started to seep back into your skin.
That day, you remember coming to that resolve. No longer would something control over you. You would do all you could to insure you had control over it all, and make it yours. With the form in right now, would be a testament of those words. When you figured out a way to tap further into your seal, to make this more higher level form, made you understand why Tsunade told you not bring this out unless needed. The form you now having acquired would provide you with what you needed during this war and others. Though you gained control, there was still a cost, your mentality and humanity. If stayed in this form for long, your mind would be dragged down and lost. The only way to keep yourself from being lost, you had to have complete focus, mental focus was the pinnacle to overcoming it. The starburst in the center of your forehead was your gauge your in a sense conscience that measured and kept track on time you had in this form. The large it was, longer you had, but with each moment you used it, it would decrease. In just your metal form you couldn't access your main power, only relying on nothing but taijutsu. With this form, it combined the two, while at the same time gave you an edge. You could process situations faster, allowing you counter with much more efficiency. You gained more precise control over your energy than before. Your movements sharper and fast. Logic and results was what mattered to you in this state. But what gave you an edge was what would happen should you lay contact upon your enemy. No one could touch you in, unless they wanted their DNA to be rewritten. A single touch would allow you like a computer virus, override or scramble their system. And since you being what you are, both tech and organic made it better. What was done to you, was sealed away, now became your most ultimate asset. It really beg the question, whether you where machine or not.
Because the way you attacked with little to no mercy and the amount of strength you displayed made others be grateful you where on their side in this war. Which was becoming a problem Kabuto realized. But he had an ace up his sleeve. Though could not do it with him being chased by Daido, Temari, and those who brought the Mizukage to the battle field.
With arrival of A, Mizukage and Tsunade who the latter was shocked to see you had gone into this form. The one she forbid you to use, there was still more training and practice you needed under her guidance. She could easily scold you for doing such a thing, but realized it was a good call on your part. She needed to heal Gaara and Onoki. You gave assistance to A and the Mizukage with their assault on Madara. Even when you thrown down you got back up, the pain unfazed you. Another side effect in this state, pain was nothing to you. Forsaking such trivial things a body needs. Your punch came down like a ton, Madara managed to dodge it just in time. The result was devastating, you left Earth damaged. Your eyes quickly follow the Uchiha, forming a plan in your and using data to pinpoint what he might do. Different equations came to you, picking out the one that had more higher of a percentage rate and take it. Forming to electric pink energy blades around your clawed hands, you come in spinning around with high velocity striking his Susanoo he brought to protect himself. The force you use was enough to send him back, having yet to penetrate it. You decide to go head first, giving yourself distance, coating yourself in energy sharping it and blitz straight towards the man. Picking up speed added more sharpness, you looked like a straight arrow that had been fired. Your feet moved so fast it was hard to tell if you even where touching the ground. The only way one would know would be the slick stream you left behind you.
The war had fully now begun. Those in the other division where still handling their fair share while trying to hurry up to bring assistance. With the Naruto clone out of juice though enough to keep himself present had to sit back and watch the battle. Madara kept his guard up and eyes aware. With your assistance gave the Uchiha a run for his money. Since you didn't use chakra, your attacks couldn't be absorbed, so he made sure to dodge them. You would switch between energy attacks and taijutsu. He saw there was no fear in your eyes, the way you came at him. Recalling the information Kabuto told him about your weakness, he had to figure out a way to use it soon.
Gaara and Onoki watch you take on the Uchiha in their steed as Tsunade healed them. Both amazed by the prowess and power you displayed. Mainly Gaara, he was just in pure shock at it all. He didn't think you had grew this much, the delicate flower in the desert he always thought of you. He felt he had to become the cactus to protect something so delicate. Even though he knew you could take care of yourself, it was much more deeper.
"May's grown more than you know, Kazekage."Tsunade tells him, finishing up on on healing the two. He looks at her, seeing the pride in her eyes."You should be proud. May is always full of surprises."
With that she joins, Susanoo swings his blade, you quickly counter it by forming your energy into hands to hold him at bay once again. Then push him back. It didn't break through that was what A and Onoki where for. Both of them teaming up working together. Combing their jutsus. Even with all this fire power Madara kept it up, not even tiring out. Coming above him, claws formed on both hands coated in energy ready to strike. He moves out the way just in time, just as you slam down leaving a crater. You stand back up, to meet with a hard strike in back, sending you crashing through the air. Quickly though you managed to set yourself straight and dive back into the fight.
Whipping out your sister's fan and coat it in energy, it began to whirl up more and more, so you launch it right at Madara. As it spun the energy increased, you race after it. Seeing it coming A alerts the other Kages. Tsaunde tells them to move, Mei though seeing your idea goes to assist you. Seeing your attack coming, Madara in his Susanoo raises its sword to strike it down. But the speed was greater, and the rather large energy disc hit its target. Spinning rapidly to cut through the Uchiha's defense. There was something missing, Madara noticed.
You.
His answer soon came, the disc removes itself involuntarily following it to find you had pulled it back. Your had your hand up over your head, the disc there hoovering over it just a few inches. He knew you where going to relaunch it, which he wanted you to do. Though he noticed something, a rather flaw. The other Kage's get his attention, engaging the Uchiha throwing everything at him.
You get ready to launch again, when strong pulse went through you. Causing you to stop to your knee, but you managed to catch yourself. The starburst on your forehead began to shrink just a bit. A pounding headache shoot through you. You almost yelp in pain. Your control was beginning to slip. You felt the arm you had up controlling the fan, go stiff for a sec, reverting the fan to its normal non-power state. Damn. Wishing it didn't happen right now. Your vision blacked out for a second, was all Madara needed. Seeing your split second incapacitated state, he quickly finds an opening with the Kages and focuses on you unleashing Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation. The massive fireball came straight at you, spreading widely living you little room to avoid it. Your eyes widen at the massive attack about to engulf you completely. Pushing your fear down, you get ready to take flight to avoid it, but that pain from your mid section shoot through you. It was more this time, much more. That you lost focus on your form, turning you back to normal. The pain caused you to hunch over in pain, with your mind on the pain there was no way you could put up a shield or escape your death.
Your mid section felt like it was on fire itself, you didn't understand why. This pain wouldn't stop, but you had to make it otherwise, this would be end for you. You hadn't come this far in life, in this new world to go out like this, you had to protect everyone.
Shikaku was shocked at what he just found out, how his daughter had become incapacitated all of sudden. She couldn't move, leaving her to be sitting duck on the battlefield. This wasn't good, not at all. Last he checked she was fine, in full health. Helping the Kages in their fight against the Uchiha, now she down for the count. About to be taken out pertinently. This was a war, and yes causalities where to be expected, he had prepared himself for it. Still, the less deaths the better. And May, his adopted child, new to life itself, nothing really but a child in a manner of speaking, was going to die. She was strong, he knew that, but she too had her weaknesses like everyone. His mind prepared him to accept this fact she would die, but his heart would not. He had grown to accept her as his own, despite her background and where she came from. She bought a new addition to himself and his family. He viewed her as a Nara, he didn't give her that necklace with his clan's emblem on it for nothing. He meant it, she was his, his daughter. His little girl. And as a father it was his job to protect her. Though he wasn't as engaged with her as his wife he was still there, to watch her grow. Though would complain having a daughter was a drag, he loved her. The first day she was brought to live at his family's compound, she was rather shy and grateful. Very respectful. She was always unsure what to call him, trying to make herself comfortable as much as possible. He helped her get settled in, and gave her the choice to call him father or not. It didn't matter. He often found her presence very warming and light. When she became more comfortable she a sun ray, often greeting him when he came home or would want him to take her out to see the deers. During meal times she would sit by him at times, even come in to read with him or if he could read to her just cause. She wasn't anything like his wife,more easy to talk too. She at times would asks him to listen to her when she played the flute he bought her.
Those where memories he grew to make with her, the thought of her loosing her life now. He would be devastated though not as much as his wife, the woman having grown a huge attachment to alien girl. Showing her with so much love, he was sure the girl would drown in it. His wife would do all she could to spoil the girl, something Shikau was guilty of doing too. Just the thought of his wife being heartbroken on finding out May had died in the war, he didn't want to think of this. The others needed to hurry over. Getting more intel about his daughter's condition, he was able to quickly sum it up. He quickly has someone connect him to the one person.
Over with the Second Division everyone was dwindling the numbers of enemies, they would soon be done and would be able to hurry to the coordinates that had been given to them earlier. Striking their enemy, Neji finishes off one more of the White Zetsu's when someone contacted him via telepathy from HQ. It was Shikaku, and the message he delivered to the Hyuga put him in a panic. Hearing the condition May was in right now, worried him. Hinata not to far from her cousin saw the fear stricken look on his face. She knew it had to do with her best friend no doubt. Hitting back another enemy, she hurries over to him, just as he finished up his talk with Shikaku. Turning around to Hinata a look that told everything, understanding, they had to get out of here quickly and fast. The fear and anger in her cousin's eyes burned deeply. Just before the war started she remember Neji telling her, which was a surprise, but she couldn't be happier. Which explained why Neji was on edge and uncomfortable with May being here. Neji had told her he was going to tell May after the war. If he would before, it would be more for her to worry about, and she already had enough on her plate. While cursing himself at the same time.
With the First Division Shikaku in contact with his son, and informs him of May. And her condition. The news was shocking to the young Nara, kind of something he wouldn't expect. But, knowing it now two things. One he needed to get over there and prayed someone could keep her out of harms way. Second upset at the Hyuga for not saying anything before. He knew something was a bit off, when his younger sister just get pains all of sudden. Still this was a war, he had to keep his mind clear, but now May lingered in his mind. Telling himself, when he reached the area she was in, he could make sure she stayed out harms way. He was her older brother after all, it was his job.
The flames came like a rushing wave, unable to move, you had to put up a fight. Resisting the pain surging through you, you thrust a hand up and with all your might try to produce a shield of protection, at that very moment everyone saw and watched as the flames engulfed, a explosion came right after. Setting the area you had once been ablaze. The horror and shock before their eyes, watching the flames dancing in victory for devouring their prey. Madara took rather great sanctification in taking one of his enemies.
It was true what Kabuto told him, fire was a weakness of yours. No doubt his flames burned through you, melting you to your very core. Your reaction time was too slow, against his jutsu. And the state you where in, he was right. He noticed it before, the few times you had slowed down, trying to suppress it, trying to hide it away. It was only a matter of time before it would catch up with you. Maybe there was no need for Kabuto's other plan.
"Now then,"Madara speaks getting the Kages attention." That thing is out of the way. I'm waiting."
Burning with fury, Tsunade looks to the Uchiha hard and dark."You will regret what you did."she hisses at him."I assure you, you will."
The flames, you remember came at you and the shield you barely managed to make, didn't hold up. The power was rather great, blasting you back and swallowed you up. That was the end, you thought to yourself. Everything. Everyone. Was gone. The only positive side, you would get to see Master Splinter, April and Kai again. It would be nice, but it was too soon. The thought of who you where leaving behind and how it would affect them, pained you greatly. Wait!? Pained you? This wasn't right, when someone dies, they wouldn't experience such a feeling, right?
Than why could you, why could you feel your body being moved, like someone was carrying you? Why did you feel safe and secured?...Your eyes shoot open and body jerks up. To be held back, strong arms around you keeping you down.
"May. It's alright!"Naruto tells you, holding you back. You look to find yourself in the clone's arms. He looks down at you relieved and worried. While you where more puzzled.
Recalling what happened, your body jerks up on its own, to be stopped the by the pain in your mid section."...Tsk..."you wrap your arms around the area.
Naruto helps you sit up carefully."Calm down May, your in no condition right now."he tells you.
You hear his words but refuse to follow them, thinking of everyone else. Shutting your eyes, trying to figure out how you managed to survive death. You remember a strong arm coming out and hooking around you securely. Holding you close, they kept you very close. Protectively. With all their might. As the fires began to engulf you. It happened so fast, all of it. You couldn't quite envision their face, all you knew was, the hold they had on you was strong. Your safety was more important than their own, they left you here in the clone's care.
Unable to recall, with the clones help you where able to see the Kages still putting up a fight against the Uchiha. You had to get back over there, you had too. This pain in you, you had to control it or at least work with it. Let it know you needed to go. You needed whatever it was to stop, pleading with it to please let you go. Resting your hand over the pain. You send some of your energy there, to hopefully ease. You needed to be in that mode again. Feeding the pain, wasn't working. It seem to make it worse, so you stopped. Resting your hand on the ground, when you remembered something. Something very important. Shifting your eyes down to where the seal was on your chest, no longer visible than to the ground. With your other hand, you place it on that spot on your chest, calming yourself and breathing the best you could.
You could still fight, you just needed some time was all. Digging your nails into the ground, through the dirt. Humming to yourself, feeling a small surge go through you, you take it. This was going to work, it had too. The way you knew, the pain in your mid section was starting to go away just a little. Perfect.
