[Talking through a Comm Link]
Chapter 12: Back in the Game
In a dark and stormy night, two figures could be seen flying in the air towards a destination yet to be known. The first is a blue vixen wearing a golden attire consisting of a golden bra-like top and a small white loincloth, she also wears jewelry, being two bands on her tail, silver braces on her shoulders, arms, and legs, and white-and-golden sandals. Lastly wearing a tiara on her head and a necklace with a turquoise pendant, and she was wielding a staff coursing with magical energy. The vixen was riding atop what appears to be a brown flying reptile with membranous wings known as a Cloudrunner.
The vixen then spoke to the Cloudrunner "I received a garbled distress signal, it said something about a mountain hidden in a storm. Whoever they are, they're in great danger!" She heard something coming from behind and looked back only to duck her head in time to avoid a fireball, more fireballs headed their way with the Cloudrunner taking evasive action but one of the fiery projectiles managed to knock the staff out of the vixen's hand much to her shock "My staff!"
*Roar*
They looked back once more to see a flying galleon with a prow resembled a reptile's head with a pair of horns as it appears to be alive. The galleon flew past the duo till it was directly in front of them then it proceeded to launch fireballs from the dinosaur head-shaped cannons mounted at the rear-end of the ship, forcing the duo to evade once more.
"We need to take out those cannons!" said the vixen urgently, the Cloudrunner let out a shriek before opening its mouth a launching a fireball of its own to strike one of the cannons, both sides constantly exchanged fire with the cannons taking too much damage and are unable to continue firing "Now aim for the rotor blades so we can slow the galleon down!" the Cloudrunner complied with the command and launched a barrage of fireballs to destroy all four of the rotor blades. Soon they noticed that the cannons regained operability and once more launches fireballs at them and so shot back till they were destroyed for good this time.
The galleon then performed a U-turn with the prow facing them as it let out a roar before opening its mouth to shoot a large ball of fire towards the duo with the Cloudrunner performing a barrel roll to the right to avoid the incoming fire projectile before returning fire with its own fireballs, they timed their next shot at the moment the living prow opened its mouth to attack, causing an explosion and making it roar out in agony before laying there unmoving. The duo flew back to the rear-end of the galleon and settled there with the vixen getting off and looking around for a moment before turning to the Cloudrunner.
"Thanks for helping me, I can take it from here," said the vixen, the Cloudrunner nodded in affirmation before flying away. She proceeded cautiously along the deck while noting that there was no one manning the wheel during the assault when she heard the sound of chirping further ahead, the vixen traced the sound close to the prow of the ship which was currently on fire where she came across a Cloudrunner child locked in a cage and quickly went to help "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but I need you to go below deck and find a golden key as it's needed at the Krazoa palace," said the young Cloudrunner.
"But what about you?"
"I'm sure there's a key for the lock too, but please hurry and get them before he comes,"
The vixen would have asked whom the Cloudrunner was talking about but decided to do later though she had a faint idea who it is, she descended through a door leading down to the hold and sought about before finding the golden key, she searched further but couldn't find the key to the cage and so decided to return to ask where else it might be. The vixen was at the foot of the staircase leading to the prow of the ship when the doors of the burning compartment suddenly burst open and something leapt out and landed before her.
It was a humanoid lizard with green scales, donning brown battle armor with a helmet adorned with antlers, he also possesses a double-bladed hook attached to his left arm and a leather glove on his right hand. All in all, he exudes an intimidating presence for anyone near him.
The lizard then presented himself "General Scales; ruler, tyrant, dictator of Dinosaur Planet. What are you and what brings you to my world?"
"My name is Krystal, I am not here to fight you but was responding to a distress call," said the now revealed Krystal.
General Scales snorted in response "A distress call? The entire Dinosaur Planet is in distress," he walked up the stairs towards the prow.
"The Cloudrunner told me about you, the evil general,"
"My girl, I am not evil. I rule over the many dinosaur tribes. You see, I must control this planet with fear," he snagged the cage and shook it violently, frightening the Cloudrunner inside it "Otherwise, the tribes always try to fight against me,"
Krystal rushed forward to stop General Scales from torturing the Cloudrunner any further only for him to quickly turn round and grab her by the throat, lifting the struggling vixen into the air with a look of annoyance.
"You dare challenge me?" he dragged her over to the edge of the ship "No one can defeat General Scales!" he threw her overboard, laughing evilly all the way much to the horror of the Cloudrunner child. He looked over only to see Krystal riding atop the Cloudrunner adult from before and looking at him with defiance.
"Bad luck, General. Maybe next time!" then they flew off.
General Scales hissed in anger "This is not over!"
"Now let's find the source of the distress signal,"
The duo flew for a while longer before arriving at what appears to be a palace built into a large mountain but Krystal could feel that it's no ordinary palace as she could feel the magical energy pulsing from within and heard whispers of bodiless voice, they landed before the entrance where she got off and the Cloudrunner spoke to her.
"This is the Krazoa palace, be careful when you go inside. This is the dinosaurs' most sacred place,"
"Very well then, I'll be careful while looking for the source of the distress call," said Krystal, watching her Cloudrunner friend take to the sky once more and leaving this time. She moved ahead to come across a quadrupedal dinosaur donning armor known as an Earthwalker laying down on the ground heavily injured before quickly checking up on him.
"Are you okay, what happened here?"
The Earthwalker groaned in pain before speaking "The King Earthwalker sent us here to protect the Krazoa palace. It's not safe for you here,"
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself…hopefully," Krystal tried to move on but her path was blocked by large wooden boxes and so decided to look elsewhere for an alternate route, she came across a locked door requiring a key and recalled still having the gold key taken from the flying galleon which she then used to unlock it and went inside to come across a fuel barrel "Hmmm, I could use this to destroy the wooden boxes blocking my way before," she carried the fuel barrel outside and threw it towards the boxes, destroying them with an explosion.
The vixen continued down a slope and came across more wounded Earthwalkers who told her what happened; apparently General Scales and his tribe of Sharpclaw had attacked the palace which they tried to defend against but were overwhelmed by their numbers in the ensuing battle and that Scales brought a great evil into the palace. Krystal backtracked to pick up another fuel barrel from a fuel barrel generator in order to destroy a part of the wall which had a crack in order to gain entry. Once inside, she had to carefully make her way past multiple traps of flames shooting out of the walls in the hallways and using more fuel barrels to destroy wooden boxes and cracked walls as well as trigger pressure plates to gain access to more areas. Then she entered a room to find yet another wounded Earthwalker soldier and approached him.
"The Krazoa…need your help…they are dying…," said the Earthwalker soldier.
"Was it you that sent the distress call?" asked Krystal with concern.
"When we were attacked, I signaled for help. We were massacred,"
"But what was the reason you were sent here?"
"The King Earthwalker sent us here to protect the Krazoa palace which is the home of the Krazoa. The Krazoa are peace spirits…powerful beings that bring life to a planet. Without the spirits, our planet is dead,"
Krystal gasped in shock realizing how critical the crisis is for everyone on the planet "Is there something I can do?"
"My girl, only the pure of heart can take the test," the Earthwalker turned towards a marked door which opened up "Enter the Krazoa shrine, once inside, complete the spirit's test and await your reward. If you succeed, return to me…"
Krystal nodded in affirmation, she went through the door and stood atop a platform adorned with glowing glyphs which then warped her into the Krazoa shrine. The blue vixen made her way through hallways adorned with even more traps and puzzles until entering a large room where in the center is a blue floating, transparent ghostlike entity with rear tendrils and a vaguely tribal masklike face. She approached the spirit when it spoke to her.
"Prepare for the Test of Observation; watch closely where I hide within an urn. When the urns stop moving, you must show me which urn I've hidden in. Find me three times in a row and I will be yours to return to the Krazoa palace," said the spirit.
Krystal nodded in affirmation "I am ready for the test,"
"Then let us begin,"
Six large yellow spinning urns rose from the ground in a circle around Krystal, she saw the spirit enter one of the urns before moving from place to place in random patterns for some time before stopping for her to pick an urn which she picked the correct one. There was a second round which was a bit faster with more random pattern and Krystal picked the right one once more, the third round was faster compared to the previous rounds but Krystal was able to pull through and find the spirit for the third time in a row.
With the test complete, the Krazoa spirit emerged from a large rippling mirror at the end of the room before flying into Krystal and fusing with her body with the only visual sign of her possessing it being her eyes taking on a shimmering violet color.
"Now that I've got the spirit, I should return to the Krazoa palace and speak with the Earthwalker," said Krystal before making her way back to the teleporting platform and returning to the palace.
The Earthwalker weakly rose his head and saw that she had successfully acquired the Krazoa spirit before speaking "The shrines keep the spirits safe from harm…but their powers are useless. Only when the spirits are released back into the palace can they be used to stop this war,"
"Then I'll go and do just that," Krystal moved on to step atop a platform which elevated her to an upper level and continued along the reflective hallways until stopping before a statue resembling a Krazoa spirit. When she approached the statue, the vixen fell to her knees and began breathing heavily before letting out a cry of pain as the spirit left her body and fused itself with the statue which opened its mouth to emit a purple beam of light across the hall.
Krystal rest for a moment and turned to leave when she felt something approach from behind and turned round only for her eyes to widen in shock and disbelief "It's you-Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" she was knocked backwards into the beam which sent her flying into a large crystal, trapping her inside and was then lifted up to the very top of the palace. She opened her eyes to realize the situation she's in which frightened her "I can't break free…Someone…anyone…help me,"
Meanwhile within orbit of Dinosaur Planet, a gradually degrading flagship being the Great Fox approaches it. Within the bridge, we find some of the Star Fox team preoccupying themselves with minor activities to pass the time while listening to some sweet jams from the jukebox, Slippy Toad was fixing up ROB64 yet again, Peppy Hare was working on some maps but was having a hard time focusing on them at the moment, Tony Tony Chopper was reading an encyclopedia with earplugs on to block out the sound, Naruto was relaxing on a chair and nodding his head to rhythm of the song with Levy McGarden sitting on his lap and enjoying the song too.
"That should be it, ROB. All fixed," said Slippy, not done with the repairs.
ROB stand up and did a systems check to confirm his operability "Affirmative, I'll get back to work," then he walked away to do just that.
Peppy spun round on his chair with look of annoyance "Hey Fox, isn't this music getting on your nerves? I'm trying to work on my maps!"
Fox spun round on his chair and nodding to the music while typing on a computer with one hand "Okay, old-timer. Turn it down, Slippy,"
"Yeah yeah yeah," Slippy tossed his wrench over his shoulder, hitting the jukebox to turn it off.
"Slippy, we already have enough broken stuff here. No need to add another one to the pile," Naruto opened an eye with a small frown on his face while Levy was pouting at the music having being stopped. It was then that Julie and Lilli arrived at the bridge, being the last two members of the Star Fox team.
The Holo-Projector in the middle of the room switched on to display General Pepper for all to see with Julie taking off the earplugs so that Chopper could both see and listen as Fox then spoke up "Hey guys, it's the general,"
[General Pepper here, I have a new mission for you all. You are approaching Dinosaur Planet, an ancient world at the edge of the Lylat system] the projector switched to display the current state of the planet [As you can see, chunks of the planet have been torn from its surface. It's your job to get them back] the projector switched back to General Pepper [If Dinosaur Planet explodes, it could affect the entire Lylat system. The only lead we have is that you must locate the Queen of the Earthwalker dinosaur tribe, maybe she can help you further. By the way, your fee has been approved. If you are successful, then the money will be forwarded to you immediately. Pepper out] the Holo-Projector turned as everyone smiled at the concept of the reward after all these years.
"You heard the general, let's do it!" said Fox with gusto.
"I finally get to stretch my arms and legs, I can't wait to get down there," said Naruto with a smirk as he sat up.
"What do you mean? I'm the one to go since I'm the team leader," said Fox with a small frown.
"True, but I'm best suited since I've been trained by my mom for missions like these," Naruto pointed out.
"Maybe so but I'm the one to go," Fox remained firm.
"Before we end up in an argument, what say we settle this the way we used to back at the academy,"
"The same way then? I'm up for it,"
Minutes later, the Kitsune Striker exited from the Great Fox with a grinning Naruto piloting the Starfighter while Fox could be heard grumbling with the others giggling and snickering through the Comm channel.
[I can't believe I lost…again] Fox muttered lowly.
"Hey it's no one's fault that you suck at rock, paper, scissors," said Naruto.
[He's right Fox, Naruto's well known to have the Devil's luck back home that no one likes betting against him. Even casinos put a ban on him since then] said Levy.
[Should have known better] said Julie.
"Alright guys, where am I headed?" asked Naruto as he flew through an asteroid field, avoiding said asteroids and shooting down any which came too close for comfort.
[We've sent you coordinates to Thorntail Hollow where the Queen Earthwalker resides, but the planet is encased in a force field so you'll need to go through some golden rings in order to open it and gain entry] Slippy explained.
"Alright then, will contact you once we've landed," said Naruto.
The blonde Faunus made his way through the asteroid field whilst evading/destroying the asteroids and space mines, passing through a gold ring to open the force field and was soon entering the atmosphere.
The Kitsune Striker hovered above a valley with steep sides surrounded by thick evergreen trees as a stream sweeps through it, trees of unknown vegetation garnish the landscape above the lush grass and is abundant. One could also see the Thorntails happily grazing on the green grass. The Starfighter settled down on the clearing as the cockpit opened for Naruto to exit from it and marvel at the place before looking back over his shoulder towards the ship.
"Come on buddy, you gotta come and check out the scenery," Naruto called out, someone emerged from the cockpit and went to stand next to him, revealing it to be Chopper with a backpack like the one Naruto is also wearing. The young reindeer offered to come along with the blonde Faunus on the mission, the others were a bit concerned but Naruto was all for it with Julie, Levy and Lilli agreeing as they know full well what he can do.
"Wow, this place is so pretty," said Chopper as he looked about in wonder.
"True that, let's contact the general and the others before we forget. Julie's been wanting me to try out her new invention," said Naruto, he reached into his pouch and took out what appears to be a pair of wireless earbuds which on the surface resemble Bluetooths (An; Connexus from Appleseed Ex Machina), he clipped them to his human ears then activated them to project a holographic visor with an HUD installed and currently running. Naruto saw an incoming call and mentally opened it, causing one of the earpieces to project a holographic screen further for him and Chopper to view as General Pepper came online.
[Great flying Naruto, for a moment I thought you weren't going to make given your years of inactivity] said General Pepper amusedly.
"Very funny sir," said Naruto sarcastically.
[I know, now on to business; remember that you're looking for the Queen Earthwalker so I suggest that you should talk to those Thorntail guys. Slippy, Levy and Julie are programming a translation app for your Connexus, till then they would have to translate for you]
"Roger that,"
[And another thing, try not to go overboard when in combat. I already forbade you from bringing your Pandora and even bended the rules a bit to let you bring along your Dragon Blade] Naruto looked over his shoulder to glance at the sheathed Dragon Blade strapped to his back [Unlike Fox, you don't tend to shoot first and ask questions later, so you're more likely to save this planet instead of blowing it up]
"Then it's a good thing that he didn't know the kind of training I went through with mom," thought Naruto and Chopper with a sweatdrop.
"Alright then, we'll get moving," said Naruto.
[Good luck on your mission, I hope that you succeed in it] said General Pepper before ending the call.
"Let's go talk to the Thorntails," said Chopper with Naruto nodding in agreement.
The duo went to communicate with the dinosaurs in the area with either Slippy and Levy acting as translators and learnt a lot of things, apparently their Queen Earthwalker had been taken by someone called General Scales who lead an army of Sharpclaws and locked within the refuge, another is that there are fruits called DumbleDang Pods which are a great source of energy and grown in the trees around them, something Chopper was more than eager to get his hooves on. Next they were informed of a store within an ancient building close by that sells items which could be helpful and that the shopkeeper only accepts scarabs which serves as the planet's currency as payment with the duo planning to check it out later.
During their exploration, Naruto sensed a strange pulse of energy which seems to be pulling at his aura so he traced the faint source to a flowerbed surrounded by six DumbleDang trees and there at the center of it is what appears to be a long purple, blue and gold scepter with a spear-like head. Feeling curious, Naruto pulled the staff out from the ground and it let out a spark of purple energy then he heard a voice inside and it sounded feminine.
"If you're receiving this message then I am in great danger. The staff you hold in your hand is a powerful weapon, you must learn to use it wisely," Naruto took a stance as both ends of the staff lit up in a blue fiery aura, he proceeded to performing Bo staff techniques such as spins, thrusts, swings in combination with kicks, somersaults and punches as the voice continued to speak "It will give you guidance when its powers can be used, you can also use it to explore the world around you. I'm sure that you will find it very useful, take care of my staff and it will take care of you,"
Naruto held the staff before him and noticed that it was resonating with his aura "This will definitely be of great use to me here, at least until the true owner takes it back," the staff then shrunk itself to a more compact form which he strapped on to his belt.
"So you're taking the staff with you?" asked Chopper who had been watching during the time.
"Yup, apparently the owner is in trouble somewhere in this planet. It could clue us more into what's going on,"
"Okay, I believe that the refuge is over there," Chopper pointed at the stone gateway ahead of them.
"Then let's go,"
Naruto and Chopper made their way over to the stone gateway when it suddenly opened and a group of dinosaurs emerged through it with the gate closing behind them, they appear to be yellow skinned anthropomorphic reptiles with three clawed fingers, long arms, and short legs. They also don dark brown armor and wield spiked maces, the duo could hazard a guess that these guys belong to the Sharpclaw Tribe.
The voice spoke once more in Naruto's mind "It is time to use my staff for combat," sending a mental apology to the Dragon Blade, Naruto brandished the staff as lengthened itself before twirling it around before taking a stance and stretched a hand out "I got this Chopper, so you can hang back,"
"Okay Naruto," said Chopper before moving away.
The first of the grunts lunged at him with a downward swing of his spiked club, Naruto twirled the staff to parry to the side and immediately countered with a whack to the head and followed up with a knee strike to the stomach, causing him to stumble backwards in pain and completely vulnerable when Naruto brought the staff down on his head with the aura strengthening his muscles to land an especially powerful strike to take him down. Naruto's fox ears perked up upon hearing rapid footsteps from behind and thrusted the butt end of the staff to strike the grunt attempting a sneak attack, he tossed the staff into the air before flipping over to land behind the Sharpclaw grunt to grab him and performing a German suplex for the knockout before standing back up to catch the staff without looking.
Next of the Sharpclaw grunts lowered his head and charged forward with his jaw wide open, intending to either tackle or bite the blond Faunus who merely stood there and was hit only to fizzle into nothingness which shocked the Sharpclaw grunt, he felt someone tap his shoulder and turned round only to have face introduced to an aura-powered uppercut from a grinning Naruto, launching him into the air. Naruto waited with both hands held on one end of the staff for the airborne grunt to fall before lashing out with a baseball swing to send him flying with a guaranteed knockout upon crashing.
He turned towards the fourth grunt and actually tossed the staff over, making the grunt dropped his mace and catch the staff with both hands by reflex, Naruto was immediately upon him and unleashed a barrage of punches to the face while the reptile is unable to react properly before kicking the staff off his hands into the air before leaping to grab it then descended to slam the weapon in between the eyes, sending him to slumber land.
The final Sharpclaw grunt was now swinging his mace about wildly with Naruto deflecting each attack without losing momentum while moving backwards, he swiftly seized an opportunity to disarm the grunt of his weapon then proceeded to jab consecutively with the staff at increasing speed before rearing back with it glowing brightly before unleashing a powerful thrust to send the grunt crashing in the wall and slid down on it unconscious. Naruto twirled the staff before letting it lean on his right shoulder with a smirk on his face, but then he was taken by surprise when the grunts were suddenly teleported away.
"Where did they go?" asked Chopper confusedly.
Naruto shrugged his shoulders "No idea, but now we've got to figure out a way to get inside,"
"Look up there, that wasn't there before," Chopper pointed upwards for Naruto to look above the stone gate to see some sort of red switch "Maybe that's what would open the gate?"
"But the question is, how do we activate it?" it was at that moment that the voice spoke to him once more.
"This message will only play if my staff feels you're ready to become its master. Before the staff becomes your own, you must learn to see and feel its call through your hands. Follow its calls and discover what lies underneath,"
"Follow the Staff's calls…hmmm," Naruto closed his eyes and focused on the staff which began to vibrate and move slightly in his hands with the head pointing in a certain direction, giving the blond Faunus a faint idea of what it's trying to tell him "Wait here Chopper, I'm going to check something out ad be back soon,"
"Okay Naruto," said Chopper.
Naruto let himself be led by the staff as its vibrations and green glow where letting him know that he was getting closer till he arrived at a tunnel while he went through to a room with a rock in the middle of it. A normal person would have shrugged it off but Naruto knew better with the staff still vibrating so he used it to flip the rock over and revealing an opening which he dropped through to find himself within a cavern, Naruto ventured further down the only passage before him into a slightly dark circular with a center platform which is surrounded by a body of water. He bared entered the room when a gate suddenly closed behind him and a switch similar to the one at the shelter appeared.
"Guess I'll need to find something that can get me out of here," Naruto felt the staff enticing him to step into the center platform which he did then he held the staff over his head when suddenly arcs of blue energy from above struck the staff several times, making it glow brightly. He felt the staff inform him that he can now use the ability called the Fire Blaster which enables him to shoot fireballs from the tip of the staff "Hmmm, I wonder if…," Naruto took aim at the switch with the staff and shot at the switch which made it turn from red to green and the gate open "Alright then, now to get back to Chopper and open up the gate to the refuge,"
Naruto soon made his way back to Chopper who had been patiently waiting "I'm back Chopper and I got a way to open the gate," he fired at the switch to activate it and the gate opened up.
"Wow, that's so cool!" said Chopper in amazement.
"I know though I find it ironic that General Pepper forbade blasters and yet the staff can become one," said Naruto in amusement.
They went through the gate to the interior where they came across an Earthwalker adorned with jewels and fancy garments while possessing feminine features which was more than enough to tell them that she's the Queen Earthwalker whom they were supposed to look for but she appears to be very weak. They rushed over to her with Chopper taking out a stethoscope and a health monitor to check on her.
"Are you okay? My name's Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and he's Tony Tony Chopper and we're from the Star Fox team," Naruto introduced themselves to the queen who weakly spoke to them but the language barrier made it difficult for them to understand so he tapped a button on the Connexus to contact the team back in the Great Fox "Did you guys get any of that?"
[She's asking you to go to the Ice Mountain and rescue her son; Prince Tricky] said Levy.
Naruto nodded in understanding "I'll get right to it, any idea how I can get there?"
The queen spoke once more with Levy translating [She says that you need to talk to that giant stone statue that you two saw before, she called him a WarpStone]
"Roger that, I'll get moving then. You remain here with her Chopper, to make sure that she's okay. Contact us with the pendant Julie-chan gave you in case something comes up," Naruto instructed.
"Okay Naruto, be safe," said Chopper.
Naruto jogged while speaking to the others "Are you guys finished with the translator?"
[We're nearly done with the application software Naruto; we'll upload it to the Connexus the moment it's finished] said Slippy.
"Gotcha," Naruto now made his way over to where he could see the WarpStone, but not after performing an aura-powered button hook punch to a shatter a cracked part of the wall to gain entry and took a closer look at the WarpStone which has the appearance of a giant humanoid torso made of stone with a large green emerald on his forehead and another ono his neck collar. Naruto tried to gain the WarpStone's but was being ignored.
"Nobody ever brings me gifts anymore!" the WarpStone grumbled rather loudly, purposely being loud.
Naruto twitched in annoyance at this, this hunk of rock is being selfish right now and he's in a hurry at the moment "Might as well head over to the Store and buy something for this rock head to get him to cooperate, it's a good thing I've been collecting those scarabs along the way," he took off and after a few minutes was back as he let out a loud whistle to catch the WarpStone's attention "Hey buddy, I got something for ya!" he reached into his backpack and brought out what appears to be a large stone coin with a red gem embedded at the center.
"Ahhh, a lovely sweetie!" the WarpStone immediately snatched the Rock Candy and ate while humming pleasantly at the taste "Now who dares bother the mighty WarpStone? A thousand years I've been left alone to rest! What do you want?"
Naruto then noticed that where he was standing rose up to a height where he can be at eye level with the mystical statue "Well I'm here to get help from you,"
The WarpStone laughed in response "Ha ha ha ha! Help you? No,"
"Hey! It's your job as a WarpStone to help and the Queen Earthwalker sent me here for just that!" said Naruto, now irritated at the statue's snarkiness after everything he's gone through to get his attention and that a child of a mother is likely to be in danger.
"Ah right, let's see if I can remember what I'm supposed to do," Naruto rolled his eyes at the statement "Right, if you jump into my hand, then I'll send you to one of those WarpStone thingies. But if you have collected a Krazoa spirit then I'll send you to the Krazoa palace, that's what I can remember so far. So where is it you want to go?"
"To Ice Mountain," said Naruto.
"Alright then, hop onto my hand and be ready to warp," said the WarpStone with his right hand outstretched, Naruto hopped onto it and the WarpStone enclosed the blond Faunus in his hand with blue light shining through his fingers which signify that he has been warped.
This is Hussbek online with the latest chapter, we are now at the Star Fox Adventures arc which everyone's be anticipating for a while, as you can see Naruto will be taking the lead as expected with Chopper along for the ride which will definitely make things interesting and for once the Dragon Blade will finally see some action. I decided to forgo the flight stages besides an obvious one since it's technically the same thing and so would be skipped unless otherwise.'
If you got some suggestions for the arc as it progresses, be sure to pm me with good reasons but besides all this. Read and review as always.
This is Hussbek from Ghana.
