Hanabi: World of War
Chapter 4: Hanabi and the Warrior's Spirit.
Hanabi suddenly awoke her Eyes hurting from the continued Byakugan use but not drained, she turned off the Byakugan and stood, it was indeed her body and she wasn't missplaced, she was herself again, Hanabi stood up feeling... great, she felt better then ever, "Where Am I?" Hanabi heard looking behind herself seeing the form of Grom standing there.
Hanabi lepped back, "Your alive?" she asked looking at him, Grom looked at her questioningly before stopping thinking back now ignoring her, he remembered his life flashing back, "What, Of corse i'm alive." he retorted looking at her questioningly his expression changing, "What is a Human girl doing out here at the same time as me..." he thought turning to leave suddenly realizing that the girl was sitting there thinking, as he walked he thought back on his last battle with Mannoroth and wondered if the horde had prospered as he walked he suddenly thought about the girl closing his eyes, He didn't care about Humans on the best of days but leaving a little girl sitting in the middle of a dryed out wasteland that stunk of undeath was beneath him.
Hanabi saw the figure walk back "We shouldn't stay here long." he said trying to avoid any topic of why he returned at all, Hanabi stood about to advise a Return to Konoha when she remembered that Hjarn had said the pass back was blocked, "I know where we need to go, the way to My home is blocked so I was going to find a way around the Undead blocking the way and make my way back." Grom didn't look like he liked the Idea that much at all, "If they are between us and your home then that place is no longer safe." he said, "We need to find a way back to Azeroth or Kalimdor." Hanabi though hard trying to remember those names before it suddenly hit her, those names where on the map she had seen and the Undead where pulling back towards there, she was about to speak when a Roar was heard, it was three of those Ghouls from before they came running over the hill, Grom reached for his Axe before realizing it was gone, "Look like i'm bare handed for this..." he said under his breath running forward at them "BLOOD AND THUNDER!" he yelled slaming his fist down into the undead, Insted of hitting he just went right through the undead as a Ghost, he cursed turning attacking again causing no effect, they couldn't even see him.
Hanabi saw Grom charge and miss, she looked a little confused, one shot its claws towards Her whom dodged to the side leaping back next to grom, "Whats going on?" she asked him who looked confused himself, "I don't know, and we don't have time to think this out, for now lets just get out of here, your not strong enough to take on one let alone three, this is a job for a real warrior with a body of fleash and bl..." he looked seeing Hanabi running towards the forge Grabbing two Kunai off of the ground turning to face the ghouls running at them, as one slashed at her with its claws she lepped forward getting slightly grazed raising the Kunai stabbing it in the eyes leaping over its head and on the way down stabbing the Ghoul in the back dragging herself down leaping at the Next landing on its back grabbing its neck with the Kunai Cutting off its head, she spun around blocking the claws of the Third one getting pushed downwards into the ground, she knew she had to think fast or it would be over, she remembered her past as the ghoul stabbed her through the left sholder her yelling out in pain.
Grom had ran forward trying to attack the Ghouls also realizing that only she had any effect, when she was pinned down he tryed to grab her from Under the ghoul, he instanly felt himself get pulled into her and suddenly saw through her eyes, he felt the sudden pain of the stab.
Hanabi pushed against the ghoul as it raised its claws again to strike, she suddenly saw Grom try to pull her out and dissapear, she blocked its claws with her arms the claws inbetting to the bone her fighting off tears of pain, she needed to focus but was in to much pain, she held her block looking to her left as she saw more Undead coming, she closed her eyes focusing her strength grabbing its arm trying to rip its arm clean off.
Grom who was now seeing through her eyes felt her Focusing trying to tear its arm off, there was no way she'd be able to, himself easly but not some little girl, He suddenly focused on the arm, insted of feeling trapped he felt his own energy pouring into the girl.
Hanabi felt a sudden boost of power and Ripped against the cretures arm, the Creature roared out as it was yanked sidways to the ground, Hanaby pulled harder the undeads arm ripping out of its socket and getting thrown aside, Hanabi grimiced as she moved onward picking up her Kunai leaping forward slashing into the Undead removing its head, Hanabi suddenly felt a pain in the back of her right sholder seeing another undead that had seemed to have come from the ground stab a spear into her sholder, Hanabi was panting and was getting exausted as she spun grabbing the spear shooting forward stabbing the new Undead with her Kunai, she pulled it out turning and running, there numbers where growing and she was weakened already, she did a few seals as she ran, Her head pounded as her Byakugan had Activated, she sensed Groms emmence suprise as her field of vision superextended, She ran towards the mountainous hills, an area she was used to from training with Hjarn.
Minutes seemed like hours as she ran being hounded by Ghouls as she made her way into the mountains, this entire time she didn't show once a sign of fear, "How are you able to hold this pace with your child body?" she heard in her mind, Grom she realized didn't know about Shinobi training, "Years of training, ever sense I can remember molding energy" she thought to herself "Interesting..." she heard as she ran Using the speed she had gained to run up the sheer wall of the cliff, she got about 20 feet up before gravaty started to take its toll, she grabbed an outcropping of stone looking down seeing the Ghouls starting to climb, she muttered somthing unclean as she started Climbing she crawled into a Cavern and started running Taking pathways that let Upwards, she suddenly dodged three Arrows she saw coming, she looked out the Opening and saw 3 Armored Skelitons with Bow and Arrow she suddenly did a fast seal as an arrow hit her getting replaced by a stone that was in an opening above her, She smiled as she continued going upwards, she heard the scuttling undead behind her but did not slow, she didn't notice that her sholder that had been stabbed earlyer wasn't hurting at all, She Finaly arived at the top stopping suddenly to avoid a 200 foot shear drop into a Valley of Jagged rocks, She turned around only to see an Abomination that looked like it was made from many corpse pressing its oversized body towards her like a Gross clog in a plug, she instantly stopped breathing, she didn't want to collapse, she suddenly heard this Roaring noise like 100 of tons of rock where moving at the same time, she looked out seeing What looked like a Flying Temple floating upwards with green falls on each of its four sides, She realized it was her only chance and if she didn't jump now she would die for sure, she hesatated "Jump onto the Necropolis or you will become food for that mass behind us." she suddenly ran leaping, she sailed forward in the air moving down down and down untell she collided on the top of the Necropolis feeling her leg bones crack and her body slam down the pressure knocking her out.
Time seemed to pass before Hanabi awoke, she was lieing on her back on the Necropolis, she was freezing she realized as she sat, it was summer yet there was snow, Hanabi walked to the edge, she was thankful she hadn't been found and her legs felt fine, What she saw bellow was more mountains, and frozen planes, "These are Dwarven Lands, the jump is to far for you." she heard seeing Grom, she hated to say it but it was to far, but staying up here seemed not so wise, "I don't want to stay here." she muttered as in moved onwards Hovering, Hours seemed to meld into a day, no thing to land on, it Kept going like this for another day, Hanabi would pile snow and talk to Grom whom for the most part was quiet.
"Why are you staying around me?" she asked him, Grom sighed, "I stay because I'm not willing to leave anyone to become a mindless undead." she didn't quite get why he stayed now but that was the best she was going to get, as she sat she saw the sky gain a greenesh hue and looking down now she saw the mountians ending and a Swamp ahead, Hanabi ran suddenly leaping off of the Necropolis Grom also leaping over, Down she went aiming her body like an arrow at the water, she started to spin, "Kaiten." she said spinning faster taking alot of theh Drag off of her also making an almost spear head of chakra for the water, she landed in the water the pressure breaking at the chakra hur momentom slowing to a stop, she focused herself swimming upwards for what seemed like a full minute, she Finaly broke the Surface looking upwards, the Necropolis dissapeared into some clouds she sighed swimming to shore, pulling herself onto the mossy swamp shore.
She looked over at Grom seeing his energy seeming to flow off of him away to the west, "Whats wrong?" she asked him grom having an odd expression, "My weapon calls to me, I must go." he said to her walking to her, for him it was a Realazation, He was a blademaster and His blade was his Axe and Untell his axe was Broken he was bound to it to this world, "My axe is on Kalimdor, it is Incased in stone thats a Monument to my fight." he said to her Hanabi looking worried, "Please don't go?" she asked him who smiled, "If you must keep me around then Retreave my axe and use it, I am bound to it." Hanabi ran over to grom grabbing at him, she went through, Grom for some reason didn't want to leave her but he also knew she'd be fine and he was loosing energy, "I will give you a little of my Knowladge for you to keep." he said to her putting his hand on her not letting it move through her, he focused on her words forming in her head, more and more and more, an entire Language flowing into her, before she opened her eyes, saw her was gone and sank to her knee's, she didn't want to be alone, she focused herself standing, She would find his axe.
It was so that Hanabi pressed on northwards away from the shore, she felt alone as she walked, "I will find you again." she muttered walking onwards, Suddenly she heard a whistling through the air, she spun bearly in time to see a net fly over her, she cursed her luck, looking at who had thrown the nets she saw two Gangly figures talking to each other, "She be de one mon?." one asked the other, the other who had enormous tusks said "Mon, we not be fishen, she's puny." the other looked thoughful, "But she be easy to get, and alot less risky, we be told to get one Human so why not leave it at this and get home to da hunnys and there melons." at those words Hanabi was lost, but they seemed to have reached an agreement taking the net that held Hanabi in it hauling it up, they walked onwards Hanabi remaining Silent, She wasn't in the mood to talk.
Hours seemed to pass as they walked, Hanabi so exausted from her day had fallen asleep in the net (A fact not so easy but possable do to how tired she was.) Over nine hours passed with Hanabi asleep, True it wasn't the best shape to sleep in, but between a Ghost trip which she got no rest in, being chaced by undead and such she hadn't actualy slept sense the morning she set out from Hjarns forge to mine and even Ninja's of a certen Gai's caliber didn't do well with that little rest.
She finaly awoke, to realize that while she had slept one of the trolls had pulled her over his sholder from the net and was carrying her, which explained why she wasn't 'so' stiff, "Arigato." she said to the troll with long dreadlocks that where weaghed down with metal beads that would have stuck up, "What be ya sayen, Oh I get it, Human tongue for put me down." to this Hanabi almost laughed, she looked at him as he set her down, "We almost be to teh undacity, it be creepy place wit creepy people, Us trolls only be liken it dere if we beh witch docta's which I ain't." the troll was talking in Orcish but Hanabi didn't know this, she didn't know that Groms parting gift was an Understanding of Orcish Languge to a mastery that he once had, and allowed her to hear any of it spoken as if it where her native languge, and speak it if she was meaning to speak orcish, She however not knowing that she was speaking Orcish and it being understood by her in such a manner didn't know he had to try to speak orcish to talk, "Who are you?" she asked in the Commen Tongue used by Humans of that world the words sounding odd off of her lips, the Troll however didn't understand but listened trying, after a Moment he pulled a Roasted Toad out of the fire and offered her a Serving, She suddenly realized that this Troll wasn't one of the same Trolls that had Netted her.
She looked at the Toad, It was gross the idea of eating a Toad, its blue skin and, the odd small bones, Growl and the smell of meat, and the wonderful aroma of spices she had never had, and the evil way it Growl, It was then that Hanabi gave up taking the toad taking a large bite of meat, Oddly enough it was the best food she ever ate at least that she was able to remember, it wasn't slimy and had an odd slight aftertaste but not a bad one, she was eating faster and faster untell her peace was gone leaving The troll staring at her with an odd expression, "You, you be an odd one." he said handing her another toad off of the fire, they where small so it took more then one, and by the way she ate he guessed she hadn't eaten in at least 2 days, "I be Tyr the huntah." he had an odd expression when she looked like she understood him, "Who you be?" Tyr asked her, she finaly after eating for a moment responded, "Hyuuga Hanabi." Tyr looked pondering for a moment "I be liken dat' name, its odd and colorful, but Hanabi be sounden like fireworks so i'll call her by dat for now." yes it was a sad fact but Tyr had been using his Troll accented Orcish for so long that it had infiltrated his mind, "Hanabi be sounden good den yeah?" said Tyr to her who nodded in an agreeing manner and so Tyr set to packing up the camp watching her from the Corner of his eye the Girl just watching him work, Tyr Finneshed taking down camp in Record time, He had told the two trolls on the road that He had gotten her from that he'd take her to the Undercity, but sense she was so young she'd probably be sold as a slave, he felt Guilty for being a part of this but he had a plan, He just had to hope that that Goblin was ready.
He looked her over stopping noticing her White Eyes, He had fought for the Horde in every battlefield and no Human, Gnome, Elf Night elf or otherwise, Dwarf or anything else even in the Horde had white eyes, even the undead didn't, there eyes glowed insted of decaying, or just where gone, "You be an odd Hanabi, You don't seem blind, But are dem White Eyez some part of some light magic?" Nym asked her who shook her head, he thought for a Moment "Demon related?" she shook her head, "Voodoo?" she sighed shaking her head again following him, everytime she had tryed to respond to this guy he didn't understand her yet she understood him, it was irritating.
And so they continued onwards Nym talking and labling types of Magic about her eyes always getting it wrong and getting vary far off untell they where walking in Silence, She didn't know it but Nym himself was odd by troll standards, He didn't hate Humans or anything at all for that matter, an odd thing for a Race who where natraly Xenophobic.
