Chapter 23: Bonds of a Brother and Sister P IV

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, or Avatar the Last Air Bender, or Hades whom is Disney's version of him. I do own Kasumi along with most of her deck which is based off of Fire Emblem female characters and the four Titan Cards.

In Hades's Underworld, I watched as my adoptive older brother and best friend Hanabi dueled against Hades and Sasuke. This Duel was a Tag Shadow Duel. A Duel where battle damage was real and the loser or losers in this case often died. Oh we had Shadow Duels before specifically when I led, Hanabi, Naruto, Shikamaru, Ten-Ten, and Haku dueled against the brought back Signers. Only this time my own life as a free girl was at stake so if those two lost, then not only would they most likely die, but I was turned evil. I watched the Duel for once helpless and hoping to break free. At the moment things weren't looking so easy for my brother and Hanabi. Let me refresh your memories for what was going on. My brother and Hanabi had 4350 Life Points left and no spell or trap cards on the field. On the opposite side. Hades and Sasuke had 6500 Life Points left. They did have one terrifying new monster, it was the first I've ever witnessed anything like it, a new monster with rotating lights around it. It was known as Cerebreus, Guardian of the Underworld. It had 3000 attack points plus each overlay unit as it was called allowed it to attack more times...With all three Cerebreus could attack three times during the Battle Phase. I had a bad feeling for what could happen if an Overlay unit was used. They also had Hades's Underworld Field Spell Card and Sasuke's Continuous Trap, Attack Transfer.

"You're not looking too well" Hades told my brother and Hanabi "You two are nearly down to half of your Life Points already, no monsters to defend you, and no Spell or Trap cards. On Sasuke's turn, you'll be finished!"

Naruto glared at Hades "You might have the upper hand now, but Hanabi and I won't ever give up!"

"Brave and final words that are coming from your mouth you idiot" Sasuke told Naruto "I look forward to seeing what your sister's reaction will be when you and Hanabi fail her."
"MPHH" I muttered angrily.

"Hang in there Lady Kasumi" Hanabi said turning to me "Naruto and I won't fail you."

Hades just smirked as if he knew he'd win thanks to his almighty XYZ Summon "Then, I end my turn."

Naruto looks at Hades "Then I'm up then, I draw!"

Naruto drew his card and checked the field out and I managed to hear his thoughts Okay, Naruto, no time for mistakes for once, your sister's life is on the line. The only monster strong enough to defeat Cerebreus is my Kyubbi Dragon, but I need time to Syncrho Summon it. Plus Kyubbi Synchron which I don't have yet. Further more Cerebreus can attack not once but three times during the Battle Phase. I have to play it smart.

He looked at his hand then nods "I activate Spell Card: Gold Sarcophagus!"

Sasuke smirks "A little late to use that Spell Card don't you think Naruto? That's one card you should've played during the turn you had first."

"I DIDN'T HAVE IT IN ROUND ONE!" Naruto shouted irradiated at Sasuke for that insult.

He then calms down well tries to "With this Spell Card, I get to search through my deck and remove one Card from it. Then after two whole turns had passed after it's activation, the card I removed from play returns to my hand!"

"It's certainly better than Different Dimension Capsule that you used to have" Hanabi muttered.

Naruto sweat dropped remembering all too well that it never went well when he used Different Dimension Capsule. Almost every time he played it, just like his Pyramid of Light Strategy it blew up on him big time...Big time as in, everyone that he had used it on seemed to immediately destroy it with in two turns if given the chance. He had only succeeded using Different Dimension Capsule...Once and that was on a rematch Duel with Irani. I actually smiled for once or well would've had I not been gagged, I wanted to phrase my brother for that switch, with Gold Circumference, Naruto didn't have to fear his card from being destroyed. I watched as my brother looked through his deck and sweat dropped and he shouted irradiated at his Duel Disk "STUPID DUEL DISK! YOU HAD TO SHUFFLE THAT CARD I NEED AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF MY DECK!"

He then calmed down "Oh-well looks like thanks to the Spell Card I'm using, that helps me this time."

He choose the card and removed it.

He then eyed the field "I set one monster face down in defense mode, then set one card face down and end my turn!"

"That was your final move?" Sasuke demanded "Oh-well, It's my move, I draw!"

Sasuke drew his card "I'll set Chamberlain of the Six Samurai in defense mode"

A normal monster in shape of a Samurai appeared on Sasuke and Hades's side of the field but turned blue due to it being in defense mode. DEF:2000

"Now" Sasuke promised "Battle!"

Sasuke points at the field "Cereberus, Guardian of the Underworld, attack the loser's defense monster which will then leave him defenseless...Underworld Bite!"

Cereberus, Guardian of the Underworld attacked Naruto's monster which was and luckily Sasuke easily answered for me "OH-NO! Not Nimble Momonga"

"Oh yes! Nimble Monomogas!" Naruto told Sasuke with a big foxy grin on his face as his defense monster was destroyed he went onto explain things "When one of them is destroyed by battle, I gain one thousand more Life Points! Then I can Special Summon up to two more of them in it's place!"

"Great move!" Hanabi told Naruto as their Life Points rose. Hanabi and Naruto's Life Points: 5350

Then two more Nimble Monogas reappeared on Naruto's field DEF: 100 (X2)

Naruto laughed saluting her "Hey, what can I say, I couldn't leave us without any Life Points and I can protect us from Cerebreus attacking us three times this turn without being direct attacked!"

"They won't be there for long!" Sasuke promised "I activate Quick-Play Spell Card: Ninja Ambush!"

Naruto blinked as Sasuke points out "Now, thanks to this quick-Play Spell Card, as long as I discard a "ninja" monster from my hand, I can destroy all Special Summoned Monsters on the field."

Naruto watches as the other two Nimble Monogas were destroyed leaving him open.

Sasuke smirks "Now since this Quick-Play Spell Card was used during my Battle Phase, I can still continue the battle and win this! Cereberus attack the loser directly!"

Normally Naruto would've been taken by surprise by Sasuke's clever ploy but Naruto smirked "Sorry Sasuke! But I gave Hanabi my word, I'll survive this turn! I knew you might have something to overcome my Nimble Monogas, but I prepared for it! I activate my Trap Card: Beast Return!"

Now for once it was Sasuke's turn to be surprised for once as Naruto activated his Trap Card. On the card it had several beasts seemingly to return to a forest and Naruto explained the effect "With Beast Return, if all three copies of any Beast Type Monster is destroyed by battle or card effect during my opponent's battle phase, I get to return all three of them back to the field in defense mode!"

"RATS!" Sasuke shouted angrily as Naruto's trap card returned all three of his Nimble Momonga. DEF:100 (X3)

Naruto then smirked "So Sasuke...Are you going to continue your attack. Or are you going to give up attacking during the Battle Phase?"

This was an interesting question, one that would even baffle me. Normally when all three Nimble Momonga were destroyed one could gain up to three thousand Life Points, but since Naruto brought them all back, he could gain another three thousand Life Points.

Sasuke frowned "I must admit this loser, you actually got me for once. It won't happen again, I'll set one card Face Down and end my turn."

Hanabi turned to Naruto "I can't believe you managed to fend Cereberus off!"

Naruto smirks "You bet! I can be pretty clever at times. However if we are to have any chance in winning this Hanabi, we'll have to work hard together. I was hoping that Sasuke would've attacked all three of my Nimble Monogas so we could have more Life Points then spring my Trap Card, but we'd have to settle for plan B that time."

"You're right!" Hanabi said with a nod turning to the field "It's my move, I draw!"

She drew her card and thanks to Naruto's quick play in removing Ninja-Speed Attack from his Graveyard, she was able to have a decent hand. She nods giving her output "I don't have to remind you two this, but you have one more turn before Naruto's remove from play card returns back to his hand."

"You won't get a chance" Sasuke told her, he then smirked "I activate Continuous Trap Card: Desynchro Zone!"

Sasuke's face down card activated as Naruto asked dumbly "What does that card do?"

I had a feeling what it did, and Hanabi did too as she slapped her head shaking it. Sasuke smirked "Simple loser! While Desynchro Zone Remains on the field, even if you have a Tuner Monster, neither you or Hanabi can Synchro Summon on your turns."

Naruto blinked then after what seemed to be five minutes shouted "SASUKE YOU JERK!"

From his shout Hanabi, Kakashi-Papa whom was successful in fending off the real Cereberus, and I both sweat dropped. We all knew what card Naruto removed from play. It had to be one thing, his Kyubbi Synchron.

Hanabi frowned not liking this ether, but luckily her alien deck was just as successful in not being limited to Synchro Summons. She sees a plan and goes for it "Don't worry Naruto, just as you told me that you have my back, I have yours! I don't have anything that can help us at this time against their Trap Card, but I do have something in my deck that I can use to help turn this tide. Just bare with me."

"Will do!" Naruto told her.

She eyes the field "I'll set Alien Warrior in Defense mode!"

Alien Warrior appears on the field but was in Defense mode DEF: 1000

"Next" Hanabi told her opponents "I'll set two cards Face-down and it'll end my turn."

"It's my move" Hades explained "I draw!"

He looks at the field seeing Naruto's three Nimble Monogas, those would be a problem as they increased his Life Points. Sasuke then spoke "Sorry Lord Hades, but it's your Stand By Phase and there is a downside in Desychro Zone."

"Which is?" Hades asked.

Sasuke explained "Both you and I need to pay 500 Life Points in order to keep it on the field. If you and I don't it destroys itself."

"Hmm, I guess everything has a downside" Hades said willing to pay "After all, paying off things is half of the battle."

Hades pays the five hundred Life Points required to keep Desynchro Zone on the field. Hades and Sasuke's Life Points: 6000

Hades now looks at his hand "I activate the equip Spell Card: Underworld Ring!"

Hades smirks at his opponents "Now with this Equip Spell Card equipped to Cereberus, sure my monster doesn't gain attack, but when it attacks a monster with a healing ability, it negates the healing ability."

"GREAT" Naruto muttered "There goes more Life Point recovery!"

"And your monsters" Hades shouted "Cereberus, it's time for battle, and use your attacks to destroy all of Naruto's Nimble Monogas!"

Hanabi spoke "Sorry to interrupt Hades! But I activate the Trap Card: Alien Sacrifice!"

One of Hanabi's Trap Cards activated as Hanabi explained it's effect "If I have one face up "Alien" monster on my side of the field, this card can activate giving your Monster One "A" counter on it and forces your monster to attack my Alien Monster instead!"

Hades glares at her "Fine! You want my monster to attack yours! Then so be it!"

Cereberus comes at Hanabi's monster. Hanabi's Monster took the attack and is destroyed. Hanabi explained two effect "When Alien Warrior is destroyed by Battle and sent to the Graveyard, your monster gains two more A Counters! Plus due to Alien Sacrifice's other effect, once an 'Alien" Monster is destroyed I can end your Battle Phase!"

Hades was now steaming! Thanks to Hanabi's play she had thwarted Hades attack.

"FINE!" Hades said steaming bright red in anger "I END MY TURN! YOU TWO ARE JUST BEING LUCKY! THAT STREAK IS GOING TO END!"

Hanabi chuckles looking at her other Face-down card thinking Sasuke and Hades suspect nothing. My Face Down card is Brainwashing Beam! If Naruto is smart he'd figure it out and find a way to protect my Face-Down Card, it's the only way for us to turn the tables in this Duel.

Naruto nods "It's my move I draw!"

He drew his card then it was as if he knew Hanabi's plan. He then spoke "For starters, now that two turns have passed since Gold Sarcophagus was used, the card I removed from play goes back into my hand!"

The removed from play card goes back into Naruto's hand. He checks it nodding "I activate Spell Card: Ghostly Beasts!"

Naruto then pails at his words "GHOSTLY?"

Hanabi "Yeah, it says ghosts..."

Naruto pulls off a brave face "With this Spell Card, I get to draw one card for each Beast in my Graveyard. At the moment, I count four! So I get to draw three new cards!"

Naruto drew four cards, then eyed his new hand "Now, I summon Chiron the Mage! In attack mode!"

Chiron the Mage appears on the field ATK: 1800

"You can't Synchro Summon loser!" Sasuke told Naruto "Not with Desynchro on the field!"

"Oh" Naruto said with a grin on his face "I wonder about that? I activate Chiron the Mage's Special ability! By discarding one Spell Card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can have it destroy one Spell or Trap Card on the field! And so I'll discard one Spell Card, and have him destroy...Desynchro Zone!"

"What?!" Sasuke demanded "NO!"

"Oh yes!" Naruto said discarding a Spell Card and Chiron was able to destroy Desynchro Zone.

"Not good!" Sasuke muttered

"Next from my Graveyard" Naruto said "I activate the Spell Card Ninja Contract!"

Sasuke blinked as Naruto then smirked "If your wondering, it's the card I discarded to the Graveyard due to Chiron's effect! Anyway, when it's discarded from my Hand or Deck to the Graveyard, it's effect activates allowing me to Special Summon two Beast Monsters from my Graveyard in exchange for two already out on the field. So come on out, Natria Beast and Elephun! Replace two of my Nimble Monogas "

Two of Naruto's Nimble Monogas disappear most likely going to the Graveyard and in their place, Natria Beast and Elephun reappeared on Naruto's side of the field ATK: 2200, 500

Sasuke blinked "I don't follow loser. None of those possesses the ability to defeat Cereberus."

"I know that!" Naruto said "But I also have something else in mind, you see I'm tuning my Level two Elephun with my Level four Chiron the Mage."

"ANOTHER SYNCHRO?" Sasuke demanded

"Yep!" Naruto shouted as the two Monsters went to work. Elephun split into two huge green rings then scanned Chiron the Mage. Naruto chants out "In order to protect Konoha, we must fight and never give up hope...Roar, Syncrho Summon, Naturia Barkion!"

Naturia Barkion appears on the field out of a flash of light as soon as Naruto completed his sentence ATK: 2500

"Natrria Beast and...Natruia Barkion?" Hanabi asked, then she smiled "Why Naruto, when have you gotten Natruia Barkion? It's not a beast."

Kakashi-Papa pauses turning "Not bad...One of those monsters prevents Spell Cards, and the other prevents Trap Cards. A basic lockdown."

Sasuke frowned seeing this "Those two Synchros will go on my turn loser! Rest for certain!"

Naruto smirks " I wonder about that too?! I know neither of my Monsters aren't strong enough to defeat Cereberus, however, I activate Spell Card: Polymerization!"

Hanabi now knew what Naruto was going to do "OH WOW! Go for it!"

Naruto nods "With Polymerization, I'll use it to Fuse Natria Beast with my Naturia Barkion in order to Fusion Summon, Naturia Exterio!"

Naruto's two Synchro Monsters now Fused together in order to to become Naruto's first ever Fusion monster which took me by surprise at being an exact fusion of the two Synchros. ATK: 2800

Hanabi saw that her Brainwashing Beam was protected now.

"Now" Naruto said eying Hades and Sasuke "Time for some payback! I'll equip Naturia Exterio with the Equip Spell Card: Piercing Power!"

Naruto then spoke as Sasuke knew what piercing meant and he frowned as Naruto spoke "If the monster I equip this Card to is a Beast type Monster, it gains two hundred more attack points and delivers piercing damage! And while the equipped monster is out all monsters on my field and Graveyard become that same type!"

"Nice!" Hanabi shouted seeing Naruto's Fusion Monster's attack points rise. 2800-3000 "Now Naturia Barkion becomes a Beast Type!"

I smiled behind my gag, this was a good move on Naruto's part. I knew what this meant, now Naturia Barkion became a Beast Type even if it was in the Graveyard. If Naruto needed Kyubbi Dragon to help overcome Cereberus, then thanks to Piercing Power it helps him.

"Now" Naruto shouted "Battle, Naturia Exterio, attack Chamberlain of the Six Samurai! Naturia Slash"

Sasuke watches this then grinned "You might do piercing damage to me but I still have Attack Transfer! Now by offering up all of Cereberus Guardian of the Underworld's attack points I can lessen any of the battle damage! So that means I take no damage from your attack!"

"True" Naruto told him "But your monster is destroyed."

Chamberlain of the Sixth Samurai was destroyed. Sasuke then spoke "I activate the effect of Underworld! It gains one Underworld Counter, and deals damage to you equal to my destroyed monster's attack points!"

The Underworld gains 1 Counter and a ghost came at Naruto striking him in the chest. Naruto was on his knees and in pain but the damage was really well worthless. Hanabi and Naruto's Life Points: 5250

"I end my turn" Naruto said.

"It's my move!" Sasuke said "I draw!"

He drew his card "I'll set Ninja Snake Summoner in Defense mode!"

A ninja appeared on the field in his hands was some sort of summoning device DEF: 2000

"Now" Sasuke announced "Battle! Cereberus and Natruia Exterio have the same attack points so attacking both monsters would be pointless...But go on Cereberus attack Natruia Exterio."

Cereberus Guardian of the Underworld attacked Naruto's monster and Hades nods "Go on Sasuke!"

Sasuke smirks "I now reveal Cereberus's Special Ability, by detaching One Overlay unit from him and sending it to the Graveyard, it can't be destroyed in Battle and gains one thousand more attack points!"

Naruto watches this as a XYZ Material Monster was removed to the Graveyard and Cereberus raised it's attack points. 3000-4000

"Now your beast is going to go down!" Sasuke shouted.

"No it isn't!" Hanabi announced "Natruria Exterio is going to stay on the field! But you and Hades won't be keeping Cerberus, Guardian of the Underworld on your side of the field anymore!"

"...Why is that?" Sasuke demanded

Hanabi answered "Because I activate my Continuous Trap Card: Brainwashing Beam!"

Sasuke blinks "WHAT? NO WAY!"

"OH, yes way!" Hanabi said "What do you think I am Sasuke a fool like Naruto at times?"

"HEY! I can hear well you know!" Naruto demanded at the insult but he calmed down.

Hanabi then spoke explaining the effect "Brainwashing Beam allows me to take control of a Monster on your side of the field, whom has an "A-Counter" on it. Until all the A-Counters are out, Naruto and I take control of your monster, and currently your Cereberus has three!"

"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Hades shouted angrily outsmarted by my brother and best friend. Boy was I happy to see him so angry as Cerberus, Guardian of the Underworld changed sides.

"Then I'll destroy your Trap Card!" Sasuke shouted "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon! This card allows me to destroy one Spell or Trap Card on the field, and I choose your Brainwashing Beam!"

"Sorry!" Naruto shouted "But I have Hanabi's back! I'll activate Natruia Exterio's ability! By removing from play one Monster in my Graveyard and sending the top card from my deck to the Graveyard as well, I can negate and destroy any card effect...So...Hanabi, can I discard Alien Infiltrator?"

"Naruto..." Hanabi told him "You may use my monsters."

Naruto nods removing from play Alien Infiltrator and then spoke "Go Naturia Exterio, Natruia Negation!"

Natruia Exterio glows green negating Sasuke's Quick-Play Spell Card and destroys it "NUTS!" Sasuke shouted.

He checks his hand sweating as Naturia Exterio was a problem for him and Hades, the two hadn't expected Naruto to have this monster.

Sasuke spoke "I set one Card Face down and end my turn."

"It's my move!" Hanabi announced "I draw!"

She drew then points "Now you don't have a monster to defend your Life Points thanks to Attack Transfer! Plus it's time to End this Duel!"

She sees that Sasuke still had one card in his hand "I summon Alien Shocktrooper in attack mode!"

Alien Shocktrooper appears on the field ATK: 1900

"Now" Hanabi declared "Battle!"

She sights the first target "I'll have Naturia Exterio attack your Ninja-Snake Summoner, and thanks to Naruto's Equip Spell, it can deal piercing damage!"

"Show him your Naturia Slash!" Naruto shouted.

Naturia Exterio came at Sasuke's monster, this time he didn't have any monsters for Attack Transfer to help him out. In short he was forced to watch was Naturia Exterio came at his monster and sinks its huge claws into it destroying it and delivering piercing damage.

Sasuke felt this and watched as his and Hades Life Points drop. Hades and Sasuke's Life Points: 5000

"And now" Hanabi told Sasuke "Now is the true terror, you get to be destroyed by Hades very first monster ever. Go, Cereberus! Attack Sasuke Directly!"

Sasuke spoke "I activate my Trap Card Defense-"

"Don't even bother!" Hanabi told Sasuke "But now that you are activating it I'll activate Naturia Exterio's Special ability, by removing one monster from my Graveyard and sending one card from the top of my deck to the Graveyard, I can negate and destroy that card"

"JUST GREAT!" Sasuke muttered seeing Hanabi remove a Nimble Monogas and sent the top card from her deck to the Graveyard "It's effect is-"

"Sort of Continuous" Naruto told Sasuke "Plus it's activated every time you'd activate a Spell or Trap Card effect!"

Hanabi and Naruto both shouted Naturia Exterio's ability "Naturia Negation!"

Sasuke grits his teeth as his Trap Card was Defense Draw, a typical Card my father would play...Heck even I would if given the chance was negated and destroyed.

Sasuke watches as Cerberus attacked him and he spoke "Then let's see how you counter this, I activate Mirage Ninja's ability by discarding him from my hand to the Graveyard, I get to make battle damage from this one direct attack zero!"

Sasuke withstood the effect as he discarded a ninja monster whom looked ghostly. It withstood Cereberus's attack sparing Sasuke's Life Points.

Hanabi smiled "So you blocked one attack...Just as I thought you would."

Sasuke's eyes wided, as he realized why Hanabi had summoned Alien Shocktrooper "This...can't be! Lord Hades and I were guaranteed to win!"

Hanabi eyes him "Evil never truly wins Sasuke! It's a shame that you and Hades will never understand this...And remember, Cereberus, Guardian of the Underworld can attack once more-"

"Due to having two Overlay units!" Naruto said.

Hanabi smiled "Right! So Alien Shocktrooper attack Sasuke directly!"

Sasuke watches as Alien Shocktrooper came at him then attacked with it's powerful claws. Sasuke gasps in pain as his Life Points took the hit.

Hades and Sasuke's Life Points: 3100

Hanabi smiled "And now Cerberus, it's time for you to defeat your former owner! Attack them directly!"

Cereberus, Guardian of the Underworld roars charging Hades and Sasuke. Hades being the typical God that he was tries to negotiate with his own monster "Now, now, you wouldn't attack me really? I'm your owner. Be a good boy and call off your attack! The enemy is behind you attack them!"

I actually found this very funny. This would've worked on the real Cereberus but it was a Duel Monster Card version and there was no reasoning with a Duel Monster given order to attack, not without a Quick-Play or Trap Card but those would be negated due to Naturia Exterio's effect. The Duel Monster attacks both Hades and Sasuke and both are sent screaming out of the building as their Life Points drop.

Hades and Sasuke's Life Points: 0

Naruto ran over to Hanabi hugging her joyfully "WE DID IT HANABI!"

Hanabi smiled blushing a bit "Y-Y-Y-Yes, we did."

Seeing that it's owner got sent flying out of the building the real Cereberus charges to see if they were alright. Naruto saw the hour-glass and comes over to it then fire bends at it. This time without Sasuke protecting it, Naruto melts the hour-glass freeing me from it's control, I must admit it was getting quite low. Hanabi rushes over towards me as does Kakashi-Papa. Kakashi whips out his Kunai Knife and with a very quick slash of it, somehow cuts the ropes off me. Naruto helps me onto my feet where once this was done. Naruto rips off the ducttape on my mouth.

"OUCH!" I shouted at him "NARUTO! THAT HURT!"

Naruto pails thinking I was going to send him flying out of the building to join Hades and Sasuke but I didn't. Instead I hugged him crying "Thank you...Thank you for coming to save me Naruto."

Naruto nods hugging me back "Little sis, you're welcome."

I looked up at him and he smiled "Even though you and I aren't related by blood, we're still siblings thanks to me being adopted. I'll always be there for you."

I turned to Hanabi and Kakashi-Papa hugging them joyfully "Thank you for coming to my rescue."

"You would've done the same for me" Hanabi told me "Plus your my best friend Lady Kasumi. Like Naruto, I'll have your back...Naruto and I will journey to the gates of hell or in this case Hades' Underworld to save you!"

"Thanks" I told her.

Kakashi-Papa lets me hug him and he hugged me back. He patted my back to comfort me "You also know you'll have me to help you out. Right now Aang, Sokka, Katara, Toph, Haku and Iruka are waiting for us back at camp. They'll be happy to see you safe and sound. Plus, I was really worried there in the end."

I smiled as these three saved my life. "VULPIX!" Takara shouted playfully at my side once again.

I giggled scooping my pet up and hugged her "And thank you Takara for helping them to find me in the first place! You'll get a treat when we get to safety."

"Vulpix!" Takara spoke up happily while licking my cheek.

I giggled holding her close and enduring her licks. Once this was over I put her down and we started to make our way out of the Underworld. As we were doing this, I felt Hades' anger. No sooner had we left the building in the opposite direction was there a big explosion of fire coming out of the skull. Naruto shivers hearing Hades scream so loudly in anger. He was very close in turning me to his side of things, and now thanks to Naruto and Hanabi beating him and Sasuke in a Duel, I got away. Naruto and I turned our heads back to the building where we not only saw Hades still in one piece, well that wasn't surprising. Hades is a God so there was no killing Gods, but what surprised us was Sasuke. Sasuke was still alive! The Uchiha was glaring at me with hatred. I could still tell he wanted me most likely to restore his clan, but he was glaring at me with hatred. Hatred that told me he wouldn't hesitate to kill me if given the chance if I refused him while injured badly by him. I ignored this slightly but Naruto turned over towards Sasuke startled by the look. He shielded me as if giving a warning to Sasuke to not attack me while my back was turned. Once gone we headed out of the Underworld and back into fresh air. Once safely away from the Underworld, Zeus had appeared.

"Zeus!" I shouted seeing him.

The Greek God looks at me "Oh, thank goodness your safe Kasumi. When Hermes told me that you were kidnapped by Hades, I feared the worse."

"Worried about my little sister?" Naruto demanded "WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP HER WHEN SHE NEEDED IT! She could've been turned evil!"

"NARUTO! YOU IDIOT!" Hanabi and I shouted with Hanabi calling my brother an idiot "THINK ON WHO YOUR SPEAKING TOO!"

Kakashi-papa was nervous as he spoke to Naruto "If Zeus lets you live Naruto...Gods should never be spoken to like that..."

Naruto pails as Zeus towers above him thinking if he should kill my brother or not. Naruto raised his hands as the reality hit him. He bows pleading "Sorry, Lord Zeus! I was and am still upset that Kasumi my sister was held captive and yet it seemed you didn't seem to care about that."

Zeus surprisingly didn't kill my brother most likely because of Naruto's sincere and honest apology then decided to answer him "I wanted to help Naruto. In fact I was in the middle of talking to my son Hercules when Hermes told me the news. Now I knew I most likely couldn't do much to help you due to being on Mount Olympus as there was more things that needed to be looked at, however I could do something so I was talking to my son to let him lend a hand to help save your sister, by then you and Hanabi were dueling against Hades and Sasuke. All I could hope for in that end was that you two would prevail which you two did. Which was ultimately why Hercules never arrived as by then it was up to chance and fate."

Naruto sighs "Sorry for snapping then."

Zeus turned to me "Still, it does my heart good to see you alive."

I smiled at him "I just froze up at the sight of Hades...Had I not done that I might not have been kidnapped."

"Hey" Zeus told me in an understanding tone "You're only human. You mortals have fears. Even the bravest Shinoboi has fears. Fear can take a hold on you regardless on how much you try not to have them. Sure you gotten yourself into that mess but reality was Hades probably would've gotten you any other way with your friends in their current condition and took by surprise."

I smiled at the Greek God, at least Zeus understood mortals enough to know that everyone has fears. Zeus turned to me "Heck, even we Gods and Goddesses have fears. For example, when someone stole Hercules from us, at that time we didn't know it was Hades that did it, I feared for the worse for my own son. Hera even was worried about him as any mother would. Watching him being raised by two farmers and not being able to do anything about to return him was something she and I didn't like feeling. We feared that we might never see our son again. So everyone has fears Lady Kasumi even us Gods and Goddesses."

"Then what does Hades fear?" Naruto muttered.

"He fears me, Hercules, and just about anyone whom stands in his way of his universal takeover schemes" Zeus answered.

"Plus he hates to lose" I muttered.

Zeus smirked "That he does. Hercules always seemed to prove his might when up against any of Hades' monsters, and always got mad in the process."

Zeus turned to me "Well then, how about I send your group back to your friends?"

"You would do that?" I asked him.

Zeus nods "Of course I would Lady Signer."

Hanabi nods "We'd be glad to."

Zeus smiled "Then it's done then!"

He snaps his fingers and lightning seemed to swirl around, Hanabi, Kakashi-Papa, Naruto, Takara and me. It went faster and faster then with a flash of light seemed to make the group disappear. I knew I was on my way back to my friends.

End of Chapter

Hello everyone! Honestly boy was I on the biggest stump on this chapter. That and I was also working on new Fanfics like the remake of Guardian Digimon Book 2 and the newest story Yugioh: Guardians of the Sakura Cards. Yes, if you like the way I do things for Dueling chapters, I recommend you read Yugioh: Guardians of the Sakura Cards. I will give you one heads up and that's this it's not told in first person. There is a chance in perhaps a crossover that Kasumi and the main character OC in Yugioh: Guardians of the Sakura Cards meet each other a Duel alongside each other in the same manner as Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei did against Paradox...Big problem with that in the Yugioh Guardians of the Sakura Cards, it's basically done with the new set up with no drawing cards on the first turn.

Cards of the Chapter.

This is going to be the last time, I use Card of the Chapter in a normal way, the next chapter I do if it's a Duel I'll be doing it normally. So we got some interesting cards to deal with today, we four cards that are made up and one that's actually real.

Ninja Ambush

Type: Quick-Play Spell Card
