Alright, It's me again, out with a new story! I know I should be working on chapter 10 of TBOWE, but this idea just bounced into my head and I had to write it! So...enjoy!

As promised, the summary: Before the last blow was struck, Mithos retreats to try his luck in another world. So, naturally, the chosen gang pursues him. Along the way, the meet Naruto and his friends, however, Mithos seems to have gained new powers. The question: With the help of his friends, can Naruto's bloodline help save both worlds from Mithos' age of lifeless beings?

Notes: Naruto and co. are all five years older than they were after the time skip.

Pairings: ShinoxSheena (and possibly more)

Warnings: Extremely slight Zelos bashing. A verizon wireless reference

Disclaimer: don't own TOS or N, so leemee alone...

A New World to Plunder, a New World to Save

Chapter 1

Tracking Mithos

Flashback: 1 day prior

Lloyd struck Mithos, knocking him into the ground. Mithos was now struggling to get up, weakened from the battle. He now realized that he had no chance of completing his plans on this world, as its guardians were too strong. But what would he do? How would he get past Lloyd and the others? Suddenly, it came to him, it was the perfect solution! He could not help but cackle.

Lloyd and his friends were about to finalize Mithos' defeat when he started cackling insanely. Afraid of foul play, they all decided to not give Mithos any time to regroup and with a nod, ran towards him, some of them unsheathing their weapons.

However, before they could reach him Mithos floated above them and started glowing. Smirking snidely, he just said, "These are my parting words, 'heroes' of Sylvarant and Tethe'alla. Although you have stopped me here, know that I am by no means discouraged. My ambitions will be fulfilled on another world, MY AGE OF LIFELESS BEINGS WILL STILL COME TO REALIZATION!" Calming down, Mithos once again plastered his all-knowing smirk on his face, mocking the party that would save the supposed 'two' worlds, "Fare thee well, 'heroes'. Muahahahaha!" Cackling insanely once again, Mithos seemed to retract inside his exosphere and disappeared in an influx of light.

End flashback

Lloyd and his friends were sitting around a campfire somewhere in the plains of Sylvarant, eating dinner. All of them were disturbed by Mithos' parting words, and could only imagine what havoc he could be wreaking. They were currently traveling towards Yuan's base to see if he could help them find Mithos and possibly get them to where he was. Mithos' evil was not one that should be left alive anywhere.

Most of them were already asleep, but Lloyd, Genis, and Collette were up talking that only three childhood friends could. However, the conversation soon turned sour as they entered the topic of Mithos. "Will Yuan really be able to help us find Mithos?" Collette asked.

Lloyd laughed, "Of course he can!" He said, "I have faith in him. He's a friend."

The rest of them nodded, "Yeah," spoke Genis, "but I wonder where he went. Like, what kind of world he's in right now."

Raising an eyebrow, Lloyd looked at Genis incredulously, "Why would you do that? Are you still harboring your friendship for him? He is a traitorous villain, you know."

Holding up his hands in defense, Genis sputtered, "I-I-It is, it is! It's just…We'll be going there too and I wonder what it's like…"

Collette picked up on this really quick and energetically said, "Yeah! Yeah! Hey, Sheena's a ninja right? So, what if it was a world full of ninjas!"

Lloyd and Genis started laughing, "What does Sheena being a ninja have to do with what the new world will be like?" At that, Collette realized the absurdity of what she just said and all three burst into laughter that rang through the night.

--------The next morning, Yuan's office in the Renegade base-----------------

The Chosen's group had successfully acquired an appointment with the renegade leader, Yuan. Trooping into the room, the gang all bowed to the leader (it was best to be respectful in this situation), waiting for his greeting. Yuan in turn nodded his head and said, "Greetings, may I ask for what reason you have visited my rather humble abode?"

Lloyd, wasting no time, blurted out, "It's about Mithos."

Yuan instantly perked up, suddenly interested, "What is it?"

"He…he escaped." Genis admitted, shamefaced.

Yuan was astonished at this, "What! How! No, no, the question is where? And why didn't you follow him?"

This time, Raine was the one that spoke, "Errrr…We don't know where. To another world, probably. He just disappeared in this flash of light."

"That's actually what we came here for, Yuan." Kratos said, "We need you to help find where he went and get us there."

Yuan replied immediately, needing no thought, "Yes, yes of course. I will assemble a team immediately and go there myself."

The chosen group thanked Yuan profusely and set off at once for the site of Mithos' disappearance.

------Derris Kharlan------

Yuan and a team of five renegades were milling about the scene of the fight, waving around a questionable instrument in order to pick up traces of mana and hopefully discover where they lead. They were having trouble, though, as Raine was constantly bothering one of them or the other, trying to get them to release their machine and let her 'examine' it.

She stopped, however, when one of Yuan's subordinates, Rizkull, shouted, "OOOIIII! I found something!" At that, everyone rushed over to his position. Bringing up a small pendant enchanted with Mithos' power, Yuan matched the two signatures together.

"Alright, we have a match." He announced. Everyone cheered. They were stopped short, however, as Yuan told them that he had to find out where they went and asked for quiet. "Ah! There it is!" Yuan exclaimed, "Wait, let me jot down the 'coordinates'…Done!" And so, smiling all the way, they cleaned up their equipment and flew for the base with all speed.

------Renegade base, Tethe'alla------

"Can you hear me now? Good." Yuan's voice rang over the chosen group's radio as they floated in wait for the warp gate to be ready. "Now, we just have to input the coordinates and search…Found it!...Now connecting…There! You're cleared to go through. Be careful, though. Connection's kinda fuzzy."

Finally the group, as one, thought. Pressing the throttle on their rheiards, they zoomed through the glowing ball of warp energy. They immediately found themselves traveling through a tunnel of silver wind and lightning. All was well for a few minutes, until Yuan's voice once again rang through their onboard radios, "Dammit! If you're not through yet, hurry! The connection's starting to waver."

Lloyd cursed, "Shit! That's bad. Everyone! Max out your throttle!" Complying, the group sped up and hurtled through the tunnel, searching for the end. They were clear for a few minutes and thought that they were safe. However, their hopes were dashed as just when the end of the tunnel was in sight, it started stretching and distorting, even going so far as to constrict into a veritable bottleneck, too small for any rheiard. Lloyd and the others recognized this, but were traveling too fast to do anything about it.

So they flew helplessly into the bottleneck, their rheiards crashing into the walls and exploding even while their pilots fell through the small hole that was left.

------: Sheena PoV------

Sheena rose to consciousness in a blistering shower of dull, throbbing pain in her backside. Shit she thought what the hell happened this time? …Oh yeah… Opening her eyes, the first thing she notices was the lush forest of abnormally tall trees that covered up most of the sunlight, with small cylinders of light shining through here or there.

"Hey, Sheena! You're awake!" At this, Sheena jumped three feet into the air in fright. In her panic, it took her a few minutes to notice Collette giggling to herself on the ground at Sheena's antics.

Sheena pouted, "Awww, come on, Collette, don't do that!"

The bubbly blonde just giggled some more before saying, "Come on, the rest of us are already awake. You have to help us find out where we are!" Walking over to the next clearing, she spotted the rest of the gang lounging around or just inspecting the surroundings. Lloyd was the first to notice her, and asked, "Hey, you alright?"

"Yeah, but my but really hurts." She answered, rubbing the offending body part. Everybody laughed until Raine introduced the problem at hand.

Clearing her throat, Raine said, "As much as I know we'd all like to slack off, we still have to find out where in the nine levels of hell we are." Everyone just stared at her, coming up clueless as to where they could be but unwilling to look away as she had a valid point.

That was, until Sheena focused behind Raine and noticed a large city. Ashamed that she hadn't noticed such an obvious thing before, she decided to point it out to the others, "Hey! There's a city over that way!"

Everybody looked where she was pointing, and stared and shock as they pondered on how they didn't notice such a sprawling area of civilization before. Feeling the need to break their stupor, Zelos decided on that moment to say something, "Dude…when did that get there?"

After Zelos was properly beaten for such a stupid statement, the gang decided to set off towards the city immediately.

After all, they had an angel to hunt.

I'm thinking of putting other pairings into the story as well depending on whether any of you support it or not.

1) Sasusaku

2) Naruhina

3) KakashixRaine

4) CollettexLloyd

5) GenisxPresea

6) Nejiten

I want at least ten reviews supporting each of these pairings to put them up. One person can support multiple pairings. I'll be posting the pairings up top each chapter, so you can check there to see any updates on pairings I've decided to include (please feel free to also review and suggest any pairings I forgot. I'll post any new suggestions down here next chapter, too)

so, like it? hate it? Leave a review and tell me of any suggestions/comments/praise/hate mail! plz?
