This is a Naruto/John Carter Crossover Fan Fiction Story Only.
She looked at me and began shaking her head, "Well it seems you can't tell but Tharks are not known for being that animal-friendly. I mean off all animals in our world only two species has not tried to either kill us or eat us." I was tempted to say that they didn't eat them cause they probably thought they tasted bad.
I, of course, didn't say that Sola was answering my question, it would be rude if I told her that. "Yes some of them do in fact feel that we taste bad. They prefer other types of food." Wait for just a second here, did Sola read my mind?
"Many lifeforms on Barsoom are in fact telepathic. See, you might think you are old, but you don't know everything now do you, now to continue. You need to learn about the different races that live in our world, you need to know about Issus, about the holy things, and the different tribes that we are always fighting over for our very survival."
I looked at her and began thinking she really has a ton of things to teach me, "So you are going to tell me also how does someone become a Jeddak here too?" I swear she was laughing as I said that last part. I didn't think it was that funny.
"I asked the same thing myself, it is really not that difficult, a thark just needs to challenge the current Jeddak, hold his sword up and ask who will support their challenge. "I call for the right of challenge. Who will join their metal with mine? Something like that, if enough people raise their swords the challenger fights the current Jeddak and whoever remains alive is Jeddak."
"Now you must know that besides us there are the red men, they live in two cities, the city of Helium, and the roaming city of Zodanga. Now Helium is pretty nice, meaning they don't bother us, and we like it that way, Zodanga is currently at war with Helium, and they have no such consideration, they will do anything and everything they can to will, even if it is flat out unethical."
"The Goddess Issus is the goddess of life and death, and thus we Tharks worship her, as many of the species do, the Therns are her immortal messengers and servants. The Therns are the ones that appear when the goddess has chosen that something must be done. There are currently four tribes like ours and we constantly fight to maintain our territory. One is in the north, East and South. We are called the Tharks since our tribe considers the remains of this city our home."
That made sense, sort of like colonial settlements back when the first thirteen colonies started. "So there is no way for all the four tribes to become one and stop the fighting between each other?" Again she laughed, why did she find my question so funny?
"There is a way, you just need to become Jeddak of the other three tribes. That's all, you need to invade their home, challenge their Jeddak, kill him while the entire group is either ready to do the same to you or run and then you would have the duty of taking care of not one tribe but four. Who in their right mind would volunteer to do that I wonder?"
If I still had enough chakra that would be as simple as breathing, but for some odd reason, no matter how much I try, I can't use it. I can feel it inside myself, I can definitely see it when I do things like carrying something massive that not even an army of men could carry by myself, but every time I try to use a Jutsu nothing happens.
I began to think it was something to do with the fact that nobody on Earth could use it, that somehow deep in my mind I secretly wanted to fit in with the new human race, maybe even my body was doing it in order to protect me, all I know is that aging was never an issue with me since I forgot since when I stopped aging.
I look pretty young, but I am a whole lot older than I look, in fact, I don't even remember when my birthday is or how old I am. I looked at her and began shaking my head, trying to clear the cobwebs between my ears.
"Sola, if I was the way I was a long time ago, something like that would be no challenge. Something is causing this world harm, and instead of finding what is doing that we fight with each other. If only for the survival of life here, we need to stop this tragic waste of life and find out what is killing our world, wait, why did I say that last part?"
My lessons continued and when we began to talk about religion that is when things didn't make any sense at all, a goddess of life and death that does absolutely nothing for those that worship her, but boss them around through scrolls that people find, almost like someone left them on purpose. I don't like that, I don't like that one bit.
To me, this sounds like the work of a con artist. Like Gato on a planetary scale, there is a horrible image that will give me nightmares. As the lessons continued and I kept rubbing the head of my faithful pet, the Jeddak of the Tharks decided to pay me and Solas a little visit.
He just took hold of my arm with one of his and began to drag me out of the temple. I was in the middle of a crowd and he flat out demanded that I jump, for a second I wanted to tell the Jeddak to jump off a cliff. I looked at Sola and kept looking at the brands on her body, the second I saw an idiot with my medallion however for some odd reason I jumped towards him and he tried to evade me.
"Will you stop moving! That thing is mine!" He kept telling he found it so it belongs to him, you have got to be kidding me he was a full grown martian man and he was behaving like a kid, the only thing that would make him look like an even bigger kid if he was screaming finders, keepers, but in reality that was exactly what he was saying.
As I kept trying to get my medallion something I didn't expect appeared in the sky, three ships that looked like were flying with crystal insect looking wings came towards the city we were at, they kept firing cannon shots at each other, that is when the Jeddak and everyone took off towards what I would say was an observation place, but the second I got there, they were actually making bets on who would win, so I was wrong, it was a casino.
"Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" Tars looked at me for a second before he looked through his spyglass. "Red Men are fighting, the one with the red flag is Zodanga, and the one with the blue flags are Helium. We are betting on who will win."
He let me use this spyglass, and I saw the two color flags, but there were more red than blue. "There are more red than blue, they are outnumbered and not even fighting fair." He told me Zodanga never fight in a fair fight. I looked at the ship with a blue flag and that is when I saw something, a woman was about to fall from it, at that height she would be killed for certain.
"That woman is human, I got to help her." I didn't wait for a second before I jumped my way to where she was falling caught her in my arms and landed on one of the red ships, I took the blade from her hips I didn't have time to ask for her permission, this was a matter of life and death. "Don't worry stay behind me, this could get dangerous."
I went towards the red wearing men and with my borrowed blade began to fight them, I killed a few of them and even saw that the sword was close to breaking, so I decided to throw it at one of the idiots that were firing the strange looking cannons. She picked up a sword and killed two of the red wearing men without blinking, "Maybe you should stay behind me, it could get dangerous."
Great, I just met this strangely dressed woman and she is making fun of me. She took off towards another red ship and managed to jump down to the ground somehow. Guess the thing was simply flying too low at the time, or maybe she was in no danger at all and I jumped to conclusions.
I went towards the helm of the ship and began beating the red wearing men with my bare hands, as soon as I got hold of the strange cannon I ripped it off the ship and began firing at the other red ship, unfortunately, it was stuck with the blue ship and that caused both of them to come crashing down.
I threw the cannon at some soldiers that fell out of the ship with the cannon. A man with a very smug look on his face came towards where I was, "Don't touch him, he is mine. You are not a Thark, and not even from Helium, why did you interfere in something that did not concern you? No matter, you may not be a Thark but you will certainly die like one."
I had no desire to let this fool think he could beat me, so I instead wanted to beat his head in. I do not lie, the notion that he would fight in such a manner, simply because he thought he had the advantage makes my blood boil.
"You can talk all you want, you think you can beat me? Well grab your sword and let's see who fights who. You better tell your friend that I am not in the mood for his interference, should he decide to interfere I will kill every single one of you without exception."
He ran towards me, compared to fighting Rock Lee this guy was practically crawling, I could have attacked him no less than fifteen times before he even landed his first strike, I decided to show him how unmatched he really was, as soon as he came close he tried to cut me with his sword, try being the keyword.
I snatched his blade from his grasp and with little effect I folded it and broke it in half. I tossed the two pieces into the floor where they were both stuck. "So are you going to attack or are you all talk?" He immediately pointed his hand at me and a blue light began to gather till it formed a sort of gauntlet except it looked like it was made of a mesh of blue light.
The gauntlet let out an intense blue light beam and it hit me hard on my chest, it was so hard that it pushed me out of the ship, but for some strange reason this light was not actually harming me, in fact, it was causing me to feel energy I had long forgotten, he kept using this attack, like a fool that failed to notice something obvious.
As soon as he leaned towards the ground he realized that every single Thark that had a weapon began to fire at his ship, and for some odd reason they began to shoot at him. Many shots came close to hitting him and that was when he said something that made the ship fly away almost as if he was escaping.
"Did I not tell you he could jump!" Oh, hell, I need to move or I will never hear the end of this. Just as I was about to move I felt like my legs were just too injured for me to move, I tried to remember the energy I felt when that beam hit me and send it to my legs, that made the pain become less and less, but not quickly enough to evade someone grabbing me.
"You are ugly and yet beautiful, and you fight like a Tharks." He took off something from himself and placed it on me, "I name you Dotar Sojat, my right arms. He will fight our enemies for us, he will fight the Torquas in the south, the Warhoons in the north and the Thurd in the east. He will be the great warrior of our horde!"
I looked at him and saw that Tarks was not going to take no for an answer, I could deny it, but doing so will cause him to feel like his authority was questioned, could even put Sola's life in danger. That is when the single most beautiful woman came towards us. She was the lady I tried my best to rescue.
"Jedak of the Tharks, I am Dejah Thoris head researcher of the Academy of Science of Helium, I must ask you to release me and guide me back to Helium, I require his aid." Tarks found this rather funny and pushed her towards Sola.
"Sola take care of the winnings of Dotar Sojat." She found it rather rude, but it is something that was not to my liking either, I knew the concept behind what he was saying but didn't mean I liked to see a lady treated like that.
"You are fools, if you don't aid me it will be not that long before Zodanga try to kill you too." He looked at her and I could see the anger in his eyes, "You call me a fool, but I know what you want. You are looking for a mighty weapon, Zodanga has such a weapon, not you need a mighty weapon of your own, but Dotar Sojat fight for his horde."
I walked cautiously towards Tars and looked at him, it was clear he understood I wanted to tell him something. "You want me to fight, then do me two favors, don't harm her or Sola and I will fight whoever you tell me to, but make no mistake harm Sola or her without cause and you will regret it."
He smiled at me as he too went towards the wreckage of the ships that came crashing down. "You made a difference today Dotar Sojat, if you must remain to fight for the Tharks then tell me how did you withstand the attack from the Jedak of Zodanga? If it is a skill teach it to me."
I looked at her and took everything in me to try and look away from her gaze, something about her made me want to look into her eyes, to feel her close, I just met this woman, how in the world could I be feeling things like this in such a short time.
"It is not a skill you can learn, it is something you lack. I am the last of my kind." She began to look at me and began to make me feel like I was a bug in someone's collection. "Higher density in your muscle structure, a stronger configuration of minerals in the formation of your bones. Jump." She slapped me on my rear and for one I found that embarrassing.
"There is no time for that, you can have playfulness later!" I swear Sola just said that this scantly armored woman I rescued and I wanted to act like a pair of animals in heat. "I want no playfulness from him now or later, I want to know how in the world someone like him can do the things he can do."
I looked at her and began to shake my head, "It is not a matter of learning Professor, it is a matter of not having been born like I was. No matter how many times you ask, this is not something that can be learned, it is something you are born with."
She looked at me and began to smile at me, "Look I am not asking out of sheer curiosity, if you don't want to teach me because you think I am doing this out of greed, then teach me, for the protection of the Tharks at the very least. Our world is being destroyed by a madman, a madman you just fought, there is no one that managed that in our world."
I looked at the sky and saw something I never actually saw before, he was two large moons, but for some odd reason, they looked an awful lot like Earth and the moon. "Look, Professor, I have not been on this planet that long, and truth be told I was not even born in this world."
She placed ten rocks on ten circles she draws and asked me which planet I was born on, I, of course, know the names of the planets and pointed directly to the third one from the sun, "That is Jasoom you are on Barsoom. That is an obvious lie, it is impossible to travel through the emptiness of space between two worlds."
I looked at the burning wreckage and looked at her, "Next thing you are going to tell me it is impossible to sail on water, this coming from a person that was just a few moment ago flying on a ship that flew like a bird through the air."
This was going from annoying to frustrating in a hurry. I looked at one of the people trying to get anything useful from the dead bodies, the stupid bastard even had my medallion on him. "You want to know how I got here? See that guy? That medallion brought me here."
She looked at the medallion I was pointing and then at me, "Well that makes perfect sense, you are a Thern, and you want to return to your rightful place." I looked at her and began to shake my head, I saw my pet coming towards me and tackled me and gave me a big lick on my face. I guess my pet was worried about me, that was nice.
"I am a fine boy, I am not going anywhere." I began to scratch behind his ears and his head, he really seemed to like that. "Not to insult you Professor but there is no such a thing as a There. They don't exist, I should know I can read the minds of others thanks to Solas teaching me basic telepathy. You can try to trick me and lie to gain a way to escape here, but trust me it will not work on me, Solas or Woola."
She was not liking how things had been going if her mind told me anything she was rather upset. "Who is Sola and Woola?" I pointed at the heavily branded young woman, told her she was Sola, and the big animal that I was touching was my good friend and pet Woola.
"How can you touch something that scary?" I told her Sola was scary when she was mad, but most of the times she was really nice. She looked at me and realize what I did at first she looked at me with a rather angry glare, but as soon as she glared at me long enough she began to laugh.
