Chapter 34: Tower of Gears, Ghasfarost

For as long as people can remember, the Real and Digital Worlds have existed alongside each other, separated only by the thin dimensional barrier. At one point in time, the barrier got so weak that Digimon started seeping into the Real World while Humans and the like began seeping into the Digital World. This was when Humans and Digimon first made contact with each other.

Soon after the first meeting, a great war broke out between Humans and Digimon, a war which lasted for millennia and nearly ended up destroying both worlds. However, one day, seven Humans partnered up with seven Digimon to finally put an end to the never-ending blood-shed. And at the place where the final battle took place, a great tree grew. Both Humans and Digimon alike took this as a sign from the Gods, a sign that they should – instead of fight – work together to create a better tomorrow.

After the war, the seven Humans and Digimon disappeared, never to be seen or heard of again. But their legend lived on, and they became known as the Digi-Destined.

It was 5.000 years before another group of Digi-Destined would emerge.

One day, an enormous wall of rock rose from the ocean, effectively splitting the real world in two. This wall became known soon after as the Red Line, and was seen as a warning from the Gods by many, I warning the Humans and their Digimon partners were not fast enough to heed as just shortly after, the great tree, the Shinju vanished, it's petals turned to crystal and seven Digimon the likes of which the world had never seen before emerged.

They held powers far greater than anyone could imagine. They could create forests of death to cover entire continents, cause people to go completely insane from just their presence, cut through any barrier whether they be earthly or created by divine powers, blow away mountains with a mere roar, freeze entire oceans or evaporate them, turn a healthy and lively nation into a dead wasteland in seconds, and even destroy the world with a single thought. Because of these powers, they soon received the title of "Perfect". (Kurama no Kyubi: Note that each of these things are pointing to one specific Perfect, try and find out what's pointing to the two Perfect we've already seen.)

Whenever a cataclysm involving the Digital World would appear, it was said that only a group of Digi-Destined could stop it, but in this time and age where everyone, even a lowly farmer would have a Digimon partner, the term "Digi-Destined" did not exist. However, out of all of these people who had Digimon partners, there were a thousand people who actively took up the fight against the Perfect, eventually bringing their ruthless destruction of both worlds to an end. But, out of these one thousand people, only one hundred survived, and as the time-span which would later become known as the Void Century ended, these people became known as the 100 Gods, not only because of their great powers, but also due to the fact that they – one way or another – seemed to have gained immortality as they stopped aging altogether.

Amongst the 100 Gods, five people came together and formed the organization known as the Council of 5, these five were; O'otsutsuki Hamura, Vandesdelca Musto Fende "Eibon" Grants, Aurora, O'otsutsuki "Luu" Lucifer, and Mavis Vermillion.

Acnologia vs. Marth

Acnologia and Marth were standing on either side of a large crater which was probably formed from a collision of their attacks. There were also many other smaller craters around the place, indicating that Acnologia had likely used Draco Meteor at some point in the battle. Both of them were lightly panting, indicating that they'd been going at it for a while now and that they had used up much of their energy.

"ACNOLOGIA-SAMA!" A voice called out and Marth shifted his gaze for a split-second to see two women coming up to the Dragon's right.

*Saina, Nekomimi, how did it go?* Acnologia asked without taking his eyes off of Marth.

"I'm afraid I have to say that we weren't able to get our hands on the Normal-Type orb." Nekomimi reported.

"Because you interfered and dragged me away from there!" Saina yelled as she glared at the Witch.

"Who's that?" Nekomimi asked as she looked towards Marth, ignoring Saina.

*Someone you don't want to mess with.* Acnologia replied, and that's when Saina noticed various cuts in the Dragon's scales that could've only come from a sword.

"Did he do that to you?" She asked before glaring towards Marth in anger and just then Kuroneko, Kalina, and Murakami appeared on the other side of Acnologia.

"Come one." Nekomimi said and all five of them charged forward towards the Hero King.

*No, wait! You don't stand a chance against him!* Acnologia yelled after them, but they didn't listen and as they reached the middle of the crater, they jumped up high into the air before coming down towards Marth.

As Saina looked down towards the Hero King, she thought 'Heh. He's going to swing his sword from his left to his right. As soon as I land, I will jump up into the air again, over his head and strike at his back with my own sword.' As she along with the others, hit the ground with their feet, however, before any of them had time to react, Marth swung his blade through them, forming a horizontal cut through their abdomens as blood sprayed out and they collapsed onto the ground as Saina thought 'No… way…! He was… too fast… for me to… follow…' She then lost consciousness along with the others.

*Those fools…* Acnologia said as he saw his subordinates fall before focusing on Marth and he fired off a Dragon Breath attack which the blue-haired swordsman simply blocked with the tip of his blade, resulting in a large explosion which covered him.

North Blue, Tolbyccia, Ghasfarost, prison cell

The door to the prison cell was opened up and a guard pushed Yuri and Naruto in, the armor-clad "Dragon" Rider having been brought in earlier. Naruto looked around the cell to see that there were several other prisoners as well, both old and young.

"Now shut up for a while." The guard said.

"What's the big deal…?" Yuri asked as he looked over his shoulder before stepping forward along with Naruto as an elderly prisoner walked over to the guard.

"Please, I've got to get out of her." The old man said.

"It's always somethin' with you, isn't it old man?" The guard asked as he prepared to swing his sword, causing the old man to step back in fear.

Yuri and Naruto then turned around and the raven-head stepped forward as he said "It's not polite to point sharp objects at your elders." He then put his hand on the old man's back, causing him to relax before running off.

"Hmph." The guard then swung his sword at Yuri only for the armor-clad "Dragon" Rider to run in the way of it, and a piece of the armor around the person's left eye broke off.

Yuri, having fallen onto his back, got back up on his feet as he said "Hey…"

"What the…?" Naruto said as the person rose back up before looking at the guard who then looked from Yuri to Naruto and finally to the armor-clad person.

"That's enough." Another guard said from outside the cell.

"Damn it…" The guard said as he relaxed his stance before walking out of the cell and closing and locking the door behind him.

Yuri, Naruto, and the armor-clad person then turned around and walked further into the cell before the armor-clad person removed the helmet.

"Huh? You're… a girl?" Naruto asked as he looked at her. She had blue hair in a bun on the back and two long pig-tails going down past her knees. Naruto also noticed that she had pointed ears.

"Surprised?" She asked as she looked at him over her shoulder with her right hand over her chest.

"… A woman… And she's Krityan…?" Yuri said in thought before turning to her "Are you all right?" She then looked at him as he walked over to her "Heh, sorry."

"Well… after all, you did help Ba'ul back there." The Krityan said.

"Ba'ul?" Naruto asked, causing both of them to turn to him before Yuri turned back to the Krityan.

"Yes, my friend." She answered.

"Oh, you mean that Monster." Yuri said.

Later, Yuri and the Krityan were leaning against the wall at the back of the cell as Naruto was lying on a wooden table next to them with his hands behind his head and his legs dangling off the edge. The Krityan had also removed the rest of her armor, revealing that she wasn't really wearing much underneath it, leaving virtually nothing to the imagination.

Naruto had asked Yuri about the term "Krityan" he had used for the girl, and he replied that it was an old race that was also believed to have been the creators of the Blastia. One noteworthy trait about them would be their pointy ears, making them slightly resemble Elves.

"So tell me. What are going around destroying Blastia for?" Yuri asked, catching Naruto's attention as he turned his head to the left.

'Destroying Blastia?' He thought before recalling how when she had first appeared, she immediately went after the Aer Cannon that Barbos had.

"Not a big deal if you don't feel like talking about it." Yuri said after not getting a reply.

"I'm afraid it's not as impressive as you might think." The Krityan said, catching Yuri and Naruto's attention "I'm destroying them because I want to."

"You're right, I'm not all that impressed. So that's why you mashed up Barbos' Blastia too." Yuri said, referring to the Blastia atop the tower.

"Yes, but I didn't finish the job." The Krityan said.

"And can you just let this one go?" Yuri asked as he looked down at the Bodhi Blastia he had around his wrist.

"… There wouldn't be any fun in destroying something like that." The Krityan said.

"… huh." Yuri then stepped away from the wall and walked across the room as Naruto sat up, wondering what the raven-head was doing. As Yuri reached the door, he looked out through the windows before turning around and walking back to the middle of the room "Hey, why don't we work together a little longer?"

The Krityan then walked over to him before saying "Hmm… It's true that I wasn't able to finish off the Blastia on the roof."

"Okay, it's settled then." Yuri said.

"So what do we do?" The Krityan asked before Yuri turned to Naruto.

"Naruto." He said, causing the blond to smirk as he reached for his pocket.

Outside the door were two guards standing guard before they suddenly heard a loud voice.

"Hyper Dash Metal!" Before they could react, the door was blown outwards as the guards were sent onto the floor before they looked up to come face-to-face with a two feet tall purple-furred Monster.

Before they could get up, however, they got trampled over by the running prisoners, the old man making sure to kick the head of the guard who had pointed his sword at him earlier for extra measure. Yuri, Naruto, and the Krityan came walking out afterwards as the latter bent down next to Dorumon and patted him on the head.

"Well, aren't you a cutie?" She said.

"Heheh. Thanks." Dorumon purred as the Krityan brought her hand under his head and scratched him, causing him to purr in contentment.

"I'm Yuri Lowell." Yuri said before the Krityan rose back up on her feet.

"And I'm Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto." Naruto said.

"Judith." The Krityan replied.

"Judith…? "Judy" is easier to say." Yuri said.

"Fine by me. All right, on to the next objective." Judith said.

Yuri took a step forward as he looked at Judith out of the corner of his eyes before saying "Next…? Well, we could check out the Blastia on the roof. All we have to do is go up."

"Won't your friends be waiting for you?" Judith asked.

"I don't mind taking care of the Blastia first." Yuri replied as Judith looked up.

"Up we go then." She said.

"But how are we going to get up?" Naruto asked as there wasn't really any stairs they could take. The room was squared with a hole in the middle of both the floor and the ceiling as a tube of glass with what appeared to be green Aer flowing through it went up from the middle of the hole and towards the tower's roof. There was also a metallic staircase going from the floor above them, but it was suspended in mid-air so they couldn't reach it.

"… This is heavy." Judith said, catching the two Humans' and one Digimon's attention as she had walked over to some kind of machine which was probably for raising and lowering the stairs and had attempted to pull the lever.

"Yeah, just wander off… Reminds me of a certain Princess." Yuri said.

"A Princess?" Naruto asked as he looked at the raven-head and Judith turned half-way around as she looked towards him as well.

"I remind you of who?" She asked.

"Never mind. There's gotta be a way up around here somewhere. Let's see what we can find." Yuri said as he turned away from the others.

Skit – Judith's armor

Naruto, Dorumon, and Judith are present.

Naruto "Hey, Judith?"

Judith "What is it?"

Naruto "Oh, I was just wondering; why were you wearing that suit of armor earlier?"

Judith "You didn't like it? It's pretty sturdy, and protects the body quite nicely." (leans forward in front of Naruto) "See? Look at this beautiful skin, free of bruises and blemishes."

Naruto blushes.

Judith "Oh? Do you like what you see? Na-ru-to-kun?"

Naruto (laughs nervously) "E-heh-heh-heh…"

Dorumon snickers.

Skit end

They entered through a door on the other side of the room to find themselves in an armory where – naturally – there were a lot of weapons. Naruto found his weapon's pouch and shuriken holster lying on a table in the middle of the room. As he picked them up, he was glad that he had put the X-Loader in his pocket instead of the weapon's pouch where he usually had it. Yuri found his sword as well as other stuff he had in the corner of the room, and Judith looked through several spears to try and find hers, but it seemed she couldn't find it, and they eventually came to the conclusion that it had likely been taken elsewhere for whatever reason, so she picked up another spear.

When they exited the armory, they walked up towards the hole as Yuri stopped at the edge as Judith was kneeling before Dorumon while petting him and Naruto stood next to them as well.

"It looks like we can't go any higher, and we can't go outside, either." Yuri said as he looked up and down before noticing something and he lifted his right hand up to his face to see that the ring he had around his ring-finger was glowing "What the? Is the Sorcerer's Ring broken?" This caught the others' attention as Judith rose to her feet and turned around while Naruto and Dorumon also looked towards Yuri.

"Did the Aer here do this?" He asked himself as he looked at a pipe next to him which was leaking out Aer.

"Hey, you're more fashion-conscious than I thought." Judith said.

"This isn't fashion." Yuri replied before turning around and held his hand up with the ring pointing away from him as he said "You go like this, and…" Suddenly, a green burst of energy shot out of the ring and hit the lever on a machine that was against the wall, said lever moving up.

"Whoa…!" Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

"It moved." Judith said as the light emitting from Yuri's ring faded.

"It's powered up…" Yuri stated as he noticed that the blast of Aer was bigger than it used to be.

"I'll bet you could move other levers with that, too." Judith said as she looked at him.

"Mm-hmm." Naruto nodded in agreement.

"You think it's okay? I'm afraid it might blow up or something." Yuri said as he lowered his arm.

"Don't worry. If that little thing blows up, it'll probably just take your finger, maybe your hand at worst." Dorumon said.

"You sure? I can sense a lot of energy in that thing." Naruto said as he looked down at his Digimon partner.

"Well, if it happens, it happens. For now, let's pull that lever over there." Judith said and Naruto and Dorumon nodded in agreement.

Skit – Strong bonds

Yuri, Judith, and Dorumon are present.

Judith "Was that fancy ring a present from someone?"

Yuri "Hmm, I guess you could call it a present."

Judith "Well, well, looks like you're quite the ladies' man."

Yuri "No, no, no. I'm just a big sucker."

Judith "Oh? It's amazing enough the ring holds power, but it even reacts to Aer and becomes stronger. You must have a very strong bond with the girl who gave that to you."

Dorumon "Hmm… I didn't know you had a girlfriend, Yuri."

Yuri "Are you stupid? I wouldn't bat an eye if she died." (in thought) "She'd kill you if she heard what you said, by the way."

Dorumon "So, Rita, then…?" (snickers) "Man, I can't wait to tease you about it when we meet up with the others."

Skit end

They returned to the machine for raising and lowering the stairs that went up and Yuri hit it with an Aer blast from the Sorcerer's Ring, causing the stairs to lower so that they could walk up them to the next floor.

When they reached the next floor, Judith gave the others some info on Over-Limit and basically told them the secrets to unlocking Over-Limit Level 2. Though she did mention that it may still take some training before they could effectively use it in battle. However, when they were spotted by some Blood Alliance guards, Yuri single-handedly took them out after going into the second level of Over-Limit.

They then proceeded to walk out through a large door, and as they walked through the door, they could hear what sounded like the sounds of battle.

The tower was standing on what appeared to be a medieval fortress with two levels above ground and one level below ground, and the door on the second level leading out to the wall which was basically the roof of the first level. There were also two ladders going up each wall, making it four ladders in total.

"There, that's the last of 'em!" Rita sent as she killed two bird-like Monsters with her Fire Ball spell.

"Huh… Looks like you guys have things under control." Yuri said as he, Naruto, and Dorumon had come out.

"Yuri!" Estelle exclaimed before running over to the raven-head before grabbing him and seeing if he was injured.

"Hey, what gives…? Come on, take it easy, will ya?" Yuri said as Naruto and Dorumon chuckled.

"NARUTO-KUN!" A voice called out and Naruto looked towards it just in time for Patty to latch onto him with such force that they fell onto the ground.

"Pa-Patty-chan?" Naruto said in confusion as Patty rubbed her head against her fellow blond's chest as tears welled up in her eyes.

"I thought… I thought I'd never see you again! Nanojiya!" She exaggerated.

"Are you okay? You weren't hurt, were you?" Estelle asked.

"I'm okay, I'm okay. You worry too much." Yuri said as Raven, Rita, Karol, Repede, and even Robin came over to them as well and Naruto managed to pry Patty off of him as he rose to his feet, followed by the Pirate loli.

"I thought I told you all to stay put for a while…" Yuri said.

"What do you expect? We were worried about you two!" Karol said before Rita turned towards him and raised her hand in a threatening manner, causing him to put his hands on his head as if to protect himself.

"Hey, just for the record, I wasn't worrying about them." The genius Mage said as she lowered her hand before folding her arms.

"Aww… I'm sure you don't mean that, Rita-chan." Naruto said, and everyone was surprised when she didn't say any remarks in return.

"Well, I for one was worried sick." Raven said.

"Yeah, right. And when did you just start showing up wherever we go, anyway?" Yuri asked.

"Hear me out, will ya? The Don's having a fit sayin' there's no way he'll let Barbos make a fool outta him, but I'm the one he sends to do his dirty work." Raven replied.

"Is that why you're here too, Robin-san?" Naruto asked as he looked at the woman.

"No. I'm here on a mission from Mr. 0." Robin said.

"A mission?" Naruto asked.

"Sorry. I can't be more specific than that." Robin said.

"Who are you, anyway?" Yuri asked as he looked at his fellow raven-head.

"Oh, I didn't introduce myself? I'm Nico Robin of the Baroque Works Guild. Also known as Miss. All-Sunday." Robin said as she bowed.

"Well, anyway, what do you guys think you're doing, coming in this way?" Yuri asked.

"Well, the front door was locked." Karol said.

"That's not the point…" Yuri said before Judith came out as well, catching everyone's attention.

"… A-and who might this lovely Krityan be? Is she a Princess?" Raven asked as he got hearts in his eyes.

"Layin' it a little thick there, old man." Rita said.

"This is Judith. We were locked up together." Yuri said.

"Konichiwa." Judith said.

"Hi, I'm Karol." Karol said.

"I'm Estellise." Estelle said.

"We just call her Estelle." Karol said.

"Rita Mordio." Rita said.

"Nico Robin." Robin introduced herself again.

"Patty Fleur. Though if you want, you could call me Patty Uzumaki." Patty said as she leaned onto Naruto's arm, causing Rita to look away as for some reason, she didn't like the way Patty was leaning onto Naruto-kun's arm… wait, Naruto-kun?

"Aww… Young love…" Judith said.

"Yeah… Fu's gonna be really happy about that." Dorumon commented before barely avoiding a bullet and he looked up to see Patty aiming her pistol at him as she looked at him angrily.

"Don't you dare mentioning her name in front of me! Nanojiya!" She said before Naruto – feeling pity on the small Dragon – saved him by returning him to the X-Loader.

"Anyway, I am the great–" Raven started, catching the others' attention.

"Ossan." Rita finished for him before he turned to her.

"RAVEN! R-A-V-E-N!" He yelled.

"You have to wonder about people who introduce themselves like that." Karol said.

"You got a point there." Naruto said, recalling how Jiraiya had introduced himself.

"Hmm… That didn't quite have the "zing" I was lookin' for." Raven said in thought.

"I think that'll do for now." Yuri said as he put his right hand on his hip.

"Heheh… What an interesting bunch of people." Judith said.

"Ooh! I think she likes me!" Raven said as he did a somersault before giving a thumbs-up.

"Idiot…" Rita said as she put her hands on her hips and looked away.

"Judith, what were you doing in a place like this?" Estelle asked.

"I came to have a look at the Blastia." Judith said.

"All the way out here? Why?" Rita asked as she turned towards the Krityan.

"I…" Judith started, but Yuri saved her as he stepped forward and spoke up.

"She was captured while she was on a sort of… research trip." Yuri said.

"Yeah, the Kritya do like their research…" Rita said in thought.

"Were you able to locate your Aque Blastia?" Estelle asked as she looked at Yuri.

"Aque Blastia?" Naruto asked as he tilted his head in confusion.

"It's a Blastia for controlling the flow of water. It's used quite commonly in wells and fountains. Nanojiya!" Patty said "I had heard a rumor that the Core of the Aque Blastia of the fountain in the Lower Quarter of Zaphias had been stolen."

"Nope, not this time either." Yuri answered Estelle's question.

"I wonder if it's somewhere here in this tower…" Karol asked as he looked up the tower before he screamed out as he noticed a member of the Blood Alliance coming down towards them, and he, Rita, and Raven leapt out of the way to avoid the man's sword.

"Damn." Yuri said.

However, just then, Flynn came and did quick work of the Guild member.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Flynn?" Yuri asked before relaxing his guard as he said "So, Mr. Temporary Lieutenant, what are you doing here by yourself?" (Kurama no Kyubi: "Temporary" as in, he's going to get promoted due to what he managed to do in the last chapter.)

"I couldn't leave it to someone else, could I? You didn't know what kind of danger you were getting into." Flynn said.

"Has everything calmed down, now?" Estelle asked.

"The Don explained the truth of the situation. Both the Guilds and the Knights have calmed down. We believe there's no risk of the conflict flaring up again. Ragou and his subordinates have been secured. And control of the Union has been regained. All that remains is Barbos." Flynn reported before turning to Estelle "Estellise-sama, it's too dangerous. Please wait here with them."

"You're putting yourself in danger by going alone! We should go with you!" Estelle said.

"I'm sorry… I cannot allow that." Flynn said.

"Wait a second. There's more at play here because of Barbos' actions. I don't plan on stopping here. Besides, Estelle followed you all the way from the capital. Don't you think she's just gonna follow you again?" Yuri said.

"Yuri…" Estelle said as she looked at him.

"I understand." Flynn said after thinking it over for a few seconds "We'll go together. We don't have time to argue, so I guess it's for the best."

"All done? Okay, let's go." Rita said before turning around as she headed towards the ladder which went up as the others followed her, though Yuri noticed that Raven stopped walking.

"What is it, old man?" He asked.

"Ah, nothing… Just thinking how you could really brag ta your friends if ya lived in a place like this." Raven said as he looked up at the tower while holding his hands behind his head.

"Repede, come on. I guess, you too, old man…" Yuri said as he and Repede continued on further.

"You guess? What's that supposed to mean?" Raven yelled after him before relaxing his guard as he said "Aren't you a little old for hide-and-seek? What's wrong with pokin' your head out every once in a while?"

Behind him, standing by the wall was none other than the silver-haired man, Duke.

"These kids are really givin' it a go. They could use your help every now and again." Raven said.

"If such a necessity arises, I shall interfere. No such necessity exists now." Duke said.

"All right, all right. I know you've got your own business to take care of." Raven said.

"… I do not have time for these clowning antics of yours." Duke said.

"Geez, watch where yer pointin' words like that." Raven said.

Duke then started walking away as he said "The affairs of the Human world hold no interest for me."

'Guess that's one of the 100 Gods, for ya.' Raven thought before walking after the others.

They climbed up the ladders before reaching the bottom of the actual tower as there was a large opening in the stone wall which led to a metallic bridge inside of a huge round room. In the middle of the room was a large tower of gears that want all the way up, probably ending in that platform that the Blastia is on, and of course, around it were six smaller towers of gears going up.

They crossed the bridge and entered the middle tower. The inside of the tower didn't have any ceiling, or well, it did, but that was at the very top. Between where they were and the ceiling, though, there were various metallic platforms that were connected by stairs. There were also several gears throughout the tower, though they weren't moving. Going up in the middle of the tower there was also the glass tube, though the Aer didn't appear to go up here.

As they walked, Naruto could hear what sounded like screams of pain, though it didn't sound like it came from a Human.

"What is it, Naruto-kun?" Patty asked as she noticed her fellow blonde looking off somewhere.

"Uh, no, it's nothing." Naruto replied.

Rita then took notice of Judith's weapon as she stopped walking and turned to the Krityan as she said "So you use a spear too…"

"Oh, do you know someone who also uses a spear?" Judith asked as the others also stopped.

"Eh, well not quite. It reminds me of some jerk." Rita said.

"Are you talking about that Dragon Rider?" Karol asked.

"Yeah…" Rita said before turning her head towards Yuri "Hey, don't you and Naruto-kun have something you need to tell me?" (Kurama no Kyubi: I don't think she realized that she just called him "Naruto-kun".)

"What? Me?" Yuri asked as he turned around.

"Yes. So where is that Dragon freak now?" Rita asked.

"We got separated up on the roof. I'm pretty sure he wasn't too badly hurt…" Yuri said.

"Good, because I can't very well beat him up if he's already injured." Rita said.

"Wait, does that mean you wouldn't beat he– er… him up if he's injured?" Naruto asked and Rita looked at him as everyone expected her to hit him, but she just looked away as her face became red.

'Ugh, what's wrong with me?' She thought.

"So that's the whole reason you came here?" Raven asked and Rita turned to him, her face turning back to its normal color.

"No. I also can't forgive this Barbos guy for what he did. Abusing Blastia like that! Has he no shame?" She said.

"That's no reason to bring the Princess along with you to a dangerous place like this." Yuri said before turning to Flynn "Flynn, you didn't stop her either?"

"I'm sorry, even though we passed each other in Dahngrest…" Flynn said.

"So basically, that's why you got here so fast…" Yuri said.

"It's not Rita or Flynn's fault. I decided to come here, myself. I couldn't just let you go by yourself, Yuri. Besides, I can't bad people doing harm to others and simply let it happen." Estelle said.

"I agree. Very well said." Judith said.

"Estellise-sama…" Flynn said.

"Captain Karol, don't let me down. I'm counting on your skills." Yuri said as he looked at the boy.

"Yes, of course! Come on, let's take that jerk to school!" Karol said he shot his fist into the air.

"Well then, shall we keep going?" Robin asked and the others nodded before they continued walking, though Yuri waited until Judith passed by him.

"I'm sorry, but would you mind keeping your background to yourself? We've got someone who might kind of explode if she knew." He said.

"Sure, I understand. That'll be best for both our interests." Judith said as she continued walking, Yuri following soon after.

They then walked over to one of the gears that had stopped as Karol examined it.

"… The gears stopped moving." He stated the obvious "It looks like it's not moving because the gear teeth are out of alignment." He then turned around towards the others as he said "I think it might move if we put some energy into it."

"Well, we needn't waste energy on moving strange gears." Yuri said.

"Then why don't you use the Sorcerer's Ring?" Robin suggested, causing everyone to look at her.

"Huh? How do you know about that?" Yuri asked.

"She's the second-in-command of Baroque Works, a fly couldn't land on ya without her knowin' it." Raven said.

"All right then." Yuri said before pointing the ring towards the gear and a blast of Aer shot out and hit the gear, knocking it back into alignment and causing it to move as several of the other gears began moving as well, causing the Aer to start coming up through the glass tube.

Skit – Rita in love

Yuri, Estelle, Karol, and Raven are present with Naruto and Rita in the background.

Karol "Hey, don't you guys think Rita's been acting strange lately?"

Estelle "Really? What's so different about her?"

Karol "Well, she seems to have gotten a little nicer, and I haven't seen her hit Naruto when he back-talks her or says something which she would've hit me for saying. I've also seen her face go completely red some times as if she had a fever, though it's completely normal just a few moments later."

Yuri "It's probably nothing to worry about. Maybe it's just her time of the month."

Karol (dumbstruck) "Don't that usually have the opposite symptoms, though."

Raven "Oh no, no, no, you've got it all wrong."

Estelle "Umm, Raven, do you know what's wrong with Rita?"

Raven "That I do. You see, Rita's taken a direct hit from Amor's arrow. She's in love!"

Yuri/Estelle/Karol (disbelief) "In love?!"

Raven "Mm-hmm. And the object of her affections is none other than Naruto."

Yuri/Karol 'I feel sorry for Naruto.'

Estelle "That's great! I'm happy for them."

Yuri, Estelle, Karol, and Raven leaves.

Naruto "Hey, Rita-chan can I ask you something?"

Rita (blushes and freaks out) "Wh-what is it?! What do you want to ask?" (shuts her eyes in embarrassment) 'Ooh, what's wrong with me?'

Skit end

Independent Digi-Destined

Kanali, Tom, Hanabi, Gildarts, Rayleigh, and Brendan were walking through a forest road as Merlin was hovering. After Marth had saved them, they recalled their Digimon back into the X-Loaders before they began heading out of the area to get away from Acnologia. As they walked, though, Brendan walked with a hung head as he thought back to how two of his Digimon had been defeated and how two of his Pokémon had been reduced to level 1, with one of them even having been de-evolved back into her weakest form.

"So this is one of those Type orbs, huh?" Hanabi said as she looked down at the Bug-Type orb in her hand before adding "It's kind of sticky, though."

"Well, I hear that those orbs contain the essence of all Pokémon of that particular Type. And if you know how to, you can even draw out their power and use it for yourself." Rayleigh said.

"Say, do you know what Type this is?" Tom asked as he held up his orb and Rayleigh took it before examining it a little.

"Hmm… It looks like it's the Sol-Type orb." He said before handing it back to the Nekomimi.

"Sol-Type?" Tom asked as he took it.

"Sol-Type is believed to have been created from a union between a Fire-Type and an Angel-Type. Though it's pretty ironic considering that they are weak to both of those Types." Gildarts said.

"A union?" Hanabi asked as she tilted her head in confusion.

"He's basically saying that they had sex." Kanali said, causing Hanabi and Tom to blush heavily.

"Well, that's the popular theory between the Professors, anyway." Gildarts said.

Hanabi shook the blush off her face before changing the subject as she asked "Hey, Gildarts-san, can I ask you something?"

"Hmm…? Sure, what is it?" Gildarts asked.

"Well, Acnologia needs to absorb these orbs in order to regain his former power, right? Then how come he didn't absorb these." Hanabi asked.

"Well, the Rikudo Sennin made it so that the orbs couldn't be touched by a Digimon of Ultimate-Level or above, or else the power would overload and the Digimon's Digi-Core – the very essence of their life-force – would be destroyed. Even a Perfect, no matter how strong, wouldn't be able to survive that." Gildarts explained.

"Then if he can't touch them, how come he was able to absorb three of the orbs?" Tom asked.

"He couldn't touch them himself, so that's why he found another way. He discovered that while he himself couldn't touch them, he could have a Human mediator absorb it and have its power transferred through them and into him." Rayleigh said before adding "However, it couldn't just be any Human as the powers of the orbs would be too great to be contained by most people. Even an Uzumaki may have their body blow up if they tried."

"Why does it have to be a Human?" Tom asked, knowing that there are many species out there with far tougher bodies than Humans.

"Because it couldn't be any other race. Humans are the only race compatible with the orbs because they were made by a Human. Of course, members of other races may be able to use the orbs, but only a Human can fully absorb it into themselves." Merlin explained.

"Yet most Humans would die if they tried… Then how come Acnologia were able to absorb three of them?" Tom asked before pausing, and his eyes widened for a second before he asked "He found someone, didn't he? A Human who could contain the orbs' powers."

"That's exactly right." Merlin confirmed before continuing "400 years ago, he met a Human named Zeref. Zeref Masaki to be precise. And naturally being that Zeref was a powerful Mage who had already crossed the boundaries between the dead and the living many times, he had a body which could definitely survive absorbing the power of one of the orbs. However, he vanished some time ago." Merlin said.

"But that was 400 years ago, right? There's no way that that Zeref guy could still be alive, and that means that Acnologia can't absorb any more orbs!" Tom said.

"He's still alive, though?" Gildarts said.

"Huh?" Tom and Hanabi turned to him wide-eyed.

"Some members of my Guild actually had a run-in with him seven years ago during the Tenroujima incident. I'm not sure how he's still alive, but considering that all the members of the Council of 5 are nearly 900 years old, I'm not really all that surprised." Gildarts said.

"At this point however, Zeref isn't the only one who can absorb the orbs." Merlin said.

"What do you mean?" Hanabi asked.

"The ability to absorb them was somehow inherited by his children and then to his grandchildren. Even today, his descendants should still have that ability." Merlin said.

"Then we need to find them before Acnologia and protect them from him! Or else they may be forced into being mediates for the orbs!" Tom said.

"We're too late for that, though." Gildarts said.

"Huh?" Tom looked at him confused.

"The village that they lived in was attacked and destroyed many years ago, only ruins remain." Gildarts said.

"Not all of them died though. There were at least one survivor." Rayleigh said.

"And where is he… or her?" Tom asked.

"Right here." Gildarts said, causing Tom and Hanabi's eyes to widen before Kanali spoke up.

"I guess I never told you my full name, huh? It's Kanali Masaki." Kanali said with a fake smile as she looked back at Tom and Hanabi.

North Blue, Tolbyccia, Ghasfarost

Bakuto was standing beneath the Tower of Gears as he looked up at it.

"So this is the great Ghasfarost Spire. I've heard about it, but it's really something else to see it in person." He said before he heard a voice behind him.

"Bakuto Masaki…" He turned around to see Duke standing there.

"Well, this is a rare sight. I didn't expect to run into one of the 100 Gods, especially not you, Duke." Bakuto said before shifting his gaze to the sword Duke was holding "I see you've still got that sword with you."

"Tell me, what's someone like you doing out here? I can't believe you'd come just for sightseeing." Duke said.

"Heh. Nothing gets past you, does it?" Bakuto said before answering "You're right, I didn't come here to sightsee. I came here to observe."

"Observe? Observe who?" Duke asked.

"Who else? Naruto-san caught my interest a while back, that's why I'm observing him. The fact that he's a Digi-Destined is only a bonus." Bakuto said.

With Naruto and the others

The group came up some stairs to a large platform as they had advanced through the tower quite a bit, though they still had a long ways to go as they weren't even half-way there. On the way up Yuri had also hit several other gears with the Sorcerer's Ring, causing the Aer in the glass tube to go up higher which in turn helped them as it either served to either remove blockades that stopped them from getting close enough to some of the gears or lower the stairs to some of the platforms.

As they got onto the platform, however, Naruto spotted some kind of machine in the middle of the platform that had a glass container on top of it and inside said container was a rather big yellow mouse with big, almost square-shaped ears and a small black tail which resembled a bolt of lightning. Electrical surges went through the glass container, causing the rat to scream in pain, and Naruto realized that it was its screams he had heard earlier.

"Wh-what's that?" Karol asked.

"It looks like it's some kind of mouse. Think it could be a Monster?" Rita asked.

"Nah, that's no Monster, or at least not in the sense you think." Raven said.

"What do you mean?" Flynn asked.

"It's a Pokémon." Robin said as she stepped forward before adding "A Pichu, to be more specific."

"What's a Pokémon?" Karol asked.

"A Pokémon – or Pocket Monster – is a Monster-like creature that can be found in various parts of the world, though their most concentrated in West Blue where the Pokémon League Association resides. They come in many different shapes and sizes and despite being peaceful creatures they have many powerful attacks that – along with the Pokémon themselves – are designated to one of 23 different Types; Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, Dragon, Dark, Steel, Fairy, Sound, Sol, Angel, Demon, and X. Though it's believed that not all Pokémon Types have been discovered yet." Estelle explained, having read it in a book.

The electrical surges going through the Pichu then stopped, giving it a few moments to catch its breath before it resumed again.

"It's in pain. Yuri, do something." Estelle said.

Before Yuri could get to it though, Naruto had already destroyed the glass container and was holding the Pichu in his arms.

"Hey, are you all right?" He asked.

"Pi… chu…" The Pichu muttered before falling unconscious.

Naruto then pulled out one of his special-made Poké-Balls that he received from Arceus and enlarged it as he said "I think it'd be best for you to rest in here for a while. At least until you're fully recovered." A deep blue light then came out of the spherical-shaped object and pulled Pichu into it. And being that Pichu was already unconscious, he was captured without any resistance at all, though Naruto was planning on releasing him after he had recovered.

"Hey, what happened to it?" Karol asked.

"It looks like it disappeared into that ball." Rita said as Naruto put the ball back in his weapon's pouch, though he was thinking that he'd need to get a pouch specifically for the Poké-Balls as they couldn't be shrunken once a Pokémon was inside.

"Well, that takes care of that, now let's–" Yuri started, but he was cut off when a voice could be heard coming from a platform above them.

"YURI LOWELL!" Everyone then looked up to see a man with shoulder-length pink spiky hair with a blond bang going down on either side of his face. He also wore a black body-suit with some armor over it, and on his back were a pair of sword sheathes in an X. He was also currently holding a pair of odd-looking swords in his hands in a reverse grip. (Kurama no Kyubi: I don't wanna bother describing them, but they're kinda similar to the smaller one of Ichigo's new swords in Bleach.)

"Hey, Yuri. Your number one fan is here." Rita said.

"Oh, great, not him again." Yuri said.

"Who is he?" Flynn asked.

"Some maniac who first attacked me, mistaking me for you." Yuri said.

"Here I come, Yuri!" The man, Zagi yelled as he jumped down towards them.

Everyone jumped out of the way as he came down, creating a small shockwave as he landed. He then immediately charged at Yuri, swinging his right sword at the raven-head, but Yuri blocked it with his own sword before Zagi was sent flying by an Azure Edge from Flynn.

"Yuri, are you all right?" Flynn asked.

"Yeah." Yuri said.

Zagi then flipped in mid-air before landing on the platform and skidding backwards as Karol came up on one side of him while Repede was on the other.

"Punishing Smash!" Karol yelled as he swung his large axe at Zagi.

"Woof!" Repede barked as he charged forward with his dagger in his mouth, but Zagi just ducked under Karol's attack before kicking him so hard in the chest that he was sent flying backwards and the crazy pink-haired man then shot diagonally into the air while spiraling around, taking Repede with him.

The dog then fell to the floor, unconscious as Zagi landed over him.

"Repede!" Yuri yelled.

"Photon!" Estelle called out, forming a ball of yellow light around Zagi as he let out very audible screams of pain, but when the light faded, he was still standing there, smiling like a maniac as though nothing had happened.

"Seriously, what's wrong with this guy?" Naruto asked.

"If I'd have to guess, I'd say he's a masochist." Patty said before charging forward as she pulled out a small box.

"Trick-Trick!" She called out before throwing the box onto the floor as some kind of doll popped out of it and she sent it sliding across the floor towards Zagi, though he just jumped over it before coming down towards her, however, Patty just smiled as she then pulled out a bomb.

"Clunky Bomb!" She called out as she threw the bomb towards Zagi before throwing three consecutive cards at it before it blew up in Zagi's face. However, the maniac's descent was not halted by the explosion as he came straight through the smoke-cloud, his face covered in burns.

He shot past Patty as he skidded across the floor, however, she had managed to dodge the sword strike he had aimed at her side.

"Hahahahahahahahahah! There's so many of you to cut this time! Hahahahahahahah!" Zagi laughed before a pair of arms suddenly came out of his sides and wrapped themselves around the back of his neck "Ugh, what's this?"

"Seis Fleurs!" Robin said as she held her arms in an X before her chest with her open palms on either side of her head.

"Rain!" Raven said as he fired several arrows at Zagi.

"Variable Trigger!" Patty called out as she pressed the trigger on her pistol, but instead of bullets, a red beam came out.

"Hahahah! Yes! This is how it should be!" Zagi yelled as the arrows and beam came closer to his head and suddenly, he went straight into the third level of Over-Limit as powerful winds started blowing around him and a shockwave was sent out in all directions, knocking away the arrows and disrupting the beam as Robin's arms were reduced to petals.

Judith then came up behind Zagi as she yelled "Crescent Moon!" And she back-flipped as she swung her spear at him, but Zagi didn't even flinch from the attack before he shot straight at her as he used the same Arte he used against Repede earlier.

Judith then fell down towards the floor before landing on her left palm and she pushed off the floor into a jump and landed back on her feet.

"Are you all right, Judith?" Naruto asked as he came up next to her.

"Yeah." She replied as Zagi landed back on the floor and Naruto noticed that he charged towards Rita as his Over-Limit subsided, having reached the time-limit.

"O caprice of innocent waters…!" Rita started, but she didn't get to finish the incantation as Zagi came up before her and was about to slash his sword through her, but all of a sudden, Naruto appeared next to her in a shunshin, grabbed her and jumped away just in time as the mad-man brought his sword down on the floor with such force that the floor cracked.

"Na-Naruto-kun…!" Rita said in surprise as Naruto stood and faced Zagi.

'Damn. He's too fast to be hit by any projectile or ranged attacks unless he's distracted, and it's far too dangerous to get in close. Man, I wish I'd brought the Kyukiri no Kiba with me.' Naruto thought before he noticed Saina's sword being strapped to Rita's back.

"Hey, mind if I borrow this?" He asked as he drew the sword.

"Eh…?" Rita looked at him confused as he held the sword in a defensive stance before charging forward.

"Hahahahah! It's useless to try and fight me, blondie!" Zagi called out, but his eyes – along with everyone else's – widened as Naruto threw the sword at him in such a way that it was spinning "Hah! It's useless!" Zagi then jumped out of the way, but Naruto just smiled before the mad-man's eyes widened as he got a cut across his right side as blood sprayed out of the wound.

'Heh. I covered that sword in my Wind nature chakra before throwing it. A katana has already a pretty good range, and I just tripled that with an invisible blade.' Naruto thought as Zagi skidded across the floor and the sword got stuck through a pipe.

Zagi looked down at his wound as he muttered "Blood… he made me bleed." Naruto then half-expected him to act like how Gaara had after being stabbed by Sasuke's Chidori, but he was surprised when instead, he laughed like a maniac "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! This is great! Another one who's able to make me bleed!" He then looked at Naruto with a sadistic grin "I'm going to enjoy cutting you to pieces!"

"Oh, no, you won't" Naruto said as he instinctively grabbed and threw Celebi's ball "Celebi, use Psychic and throw that guy out of the tower!"

"Cele…" Celebi said as she appeared and charged up enough psychic energy in order to carry out her order "BI!"

"Huh?" Zagi looked at Celebi and Naruto in confusion as he was covered in psychic energy before getting thrown straight through several tons of steel and iron and out of the tower as he fell down to the desert sands below.

"Huh? How come I didn't do that earlier?" Naruto asked himself in bewilderment while the others sweatdropped.

Ghasfarost's roof

Sometime later, they finally reached the roof of the tower where the Blastia was as they came out of a small one-room building the size of an out-door toilet atop the tower which had a squared hole in the middle of it with a ladder going down.

As they walked onto the large platform, they soon spotted Barbos who was standing next to the Blastia, holding the chain-saw-like sword in his right hand. The Aer that the group had helped getting up, coming out of the top of the Blastia and forming into a ball above it.

"Back again huh, you stubborn punk?" Barbos asked as he looked at them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Yuri said before Rita noticed the Core in Barbos' sword.

"Hey, the Core in that sword! Is that the Core to the Aque Blastia?" She asked.

"Yeah, there's no mistaking it." Yuri said as he saw the Core as well.

"These fools don't know when to give up. Capua Nor, Dahngrest, and now all the way to Ghasfarost! I've always hated kids." Barbos said.

Estelle then pointed an accusing finger at him as she said "Barbos, this has gone on long enough. Save what's left of your honor and give up!"

"The Knights will be here before long. Your resistance is meaningless." Flynn added.

"And then there's also the Guilds that got mad at you after your little attempt to start a war." Robin said.

"That's right, you're finished!" Naruto said as he punched his right fist into his left palm.

"Oh, this is far from finished." Barbos said before raising his sword into the air "I put 10 years into building Ghasfarost Spire, and while it stands, nothing can stop me! And with that man and the Empire wrapped around my finger, I was able to build my magnificent Blastia."

""That man"?" Flynn asked.

Barbos then pointed his sword towards them, and suddenly a blast of air shot out of it, digging up the ground around them as well as sending them flying off the platform before landing on one of the smaller ones, Naruto, Yuri, Flynn, Repede, Patty, Raven, Robin, and Judith landing on their feet as they skidded backwards while Estelle, Rita, and Karol landed on their butts before slowly climbing to their feet in the order of, Rita then Estelle and finally Karol.

"You think I'm just gonna let you waste the Lower Quarter's Core like this?" Yuri asked as the others assumed battle stances while Barbos used his sword to fly down to them.

He then landed before them as he said "Oh, it won't go to waste. I'll use this to eliminate Whitehorse, and then I will be the leader of the Guilds. Then the Empire is next! With this power at my disposal, the very world will be mine!" He then raised the sword above his head as he said "And I'll start with you. Begone, worms!" He then pointed the sword towards them again, causing several explosions to appear around them.

"Everyone, are you all right?" Flynn asked.

"We're fine, but that sword of his is gonna be a problem." Robin said.

"Problem? Is that thing even legal?" Raven asked.

"Well, seeing as he made it by stealing Blastia Cores, I'd say no." Naruto commented.

"It is very powerful." Judith said.

"Gah-ha-ha! The Blastia seems to be working just fine!" Barbos said as he held it up in the air again as he looked at it before causing a bunch of large explosions around the tower's roof, causing it to shake.

"No way…!" Estelle said.

"A shark eating a baby whale will only end up being eaten by a bigger one. Nanojiya!" Patty said in a calm tone of voice.

"Huh?" Naruto looked at her in confusion.

"I think what she means is that when someone gains too much power, it will only end up consuming them." Robin said.

'You think?' Raven thought as he looked at her with a dumbfounded expression.

Barbos then lowered his sword as he looked at it before looking at the group as he said "What's wrong?"

"Heh, you haven't won yet." Yuri said before Barbos raised his sword into the air again.

"All right, playtime's over! Time to wipe Dahngrest off the map and you along with it!" He said as he charged up his sword with enough power to destroy an entire city.

What none of them noticed though was that Duke was standing on the edge of the center platform as he looked down towards them.

"Get down." He said as he held up his sword in front of himself and a vortex of Aer appeared around him before he raised the sword into the air as the Aer shot out in all directions.

"Nani!?" Barbos said in surprise as the Aer left his sword before the sword's blade suddenly blew up.

"Who is that…?" Flynn asked as he rose to his feet, having ducked along with the others when Duke told them to.

The silver-haired man then turned around before leaving.

"What ever happened to not having any time or interest?" Raven asked as he – along with the rest – rose to his feet.

"Hey, that's…!" Rita said.

"Rita, never mind that!" Yuri said, causing Rita to resume her battle stance.

Barbos then swung his sword at them, only for an explosion to go off in his face and he then looked at it as he said "… Piece of crap!"

"That sword's pretty useless now, huh?" Naruto said.

"Looks like the tables have turned." Yuri added.

"… So all that fancy wisdom and the power of the Blastia were nothing but a sham…" Barbos said before throwing aside the chain-saw-like sword and pulling out a large blade, pointing it at the group "Should have known from the start that I'd have to depend on my own strength. Take up your swords!"

"You know, he was much easier to deal with when he was all drunk on power." Raven said.

"Yeah, there's nothing worse than an enlightened idiot." Rita said as she put her hands on her hips.

"I am the only man to stand as Whitehorse's equal in battle. Now you will know the power of Barbos the Storm-blast and his Blood Alliance!" Barbos said as several Blood Alliance members ran across four bridges in the form of a couple of gears, two of which led to two other of the smaller platforms, one going towards the large platform in the middle, and one going to the outer wall. There were also a Blastia standing by each of the bridges with a ball of Aer above each, said Blastia probably being for retracting the bridges and vice-versa.

"Get out there and kill them!" Barbos yelled as his subordinates swarmed onto the platform.

"We're gonna take you thugs down!" Yuri called out as he swung his sword at a Guild member who came charging at him.

"You little punks are nothing to me! I'll squash you like bugs. And I'll squash the Union and rule the world!" Barbos said.

"That's some dream you've got. But I'm afraid it's not gonna happen." Naruto said as he created several clones and they started beating up the Blood Alliance goons.

"Lightning Wave!" Karol called out as he swung his large axe at several of the opponents.

"Grant them thy undefiled purity! Splash!" Rita called out as a ball of water suddenly shot from the ground and into the air before the water rained down over the Guild members like a waterfall.

Raven charged at one of the Blood Alliance members as he pulled out his dagger in a reverse grip before calling out "Around!" and he then swung the dagger in a wide arc at the Blood Alliance member before pointing his bow upwards and firing several arrows as he said "Glimmer of Heaven!" He then fired the arrows and soon after they came raining down on several of the Blood Alliance goons.

Judith jumped up into the air above the Blood Alliance members before calling out "Luna Fang!" And she stabbed her spear down through the head of one of them as a small shockwave was released, stunning the others around him. As she then landed again, she turned towards her stunned opponents as she said "Moonlight Havoc!" And she swung her spear at them before raising her right leg into the air and bringing it down in a heel-kick.

"Risky Bet!" Patty called out as she crouched down next to several Blood Alliance members and spun around while slashing at the closest one with her knife before coming to a stop and she fired her gun at the man's nuts as the image of three cards appeared in her mind's eye, one blue, one green, and one red. The red one then turned around to show a yellow star and suddenly a shooting star fell down on the Blood Alliance members and blew them all away in a large shockwave.

Several Blood Alliance members ran towards Repede, but as they swung their swords at him, he took on a burst of speed as he slipped past them before turning around and relentlessly slashed at them with his dagger, before ending the attack by slashing the dagger upwards, causing the Blood Alliance members to be brought into the air before falling onto their backs.

"Pow Hammer!" Estelle called out as she threw a red mallet at one of the Blood Alliance goons, stunning him before following up by striking her sword across the ground "Star Stroke!" And as she brought her sword into the air, a wave of blue energy similar to a Demon Fang only smaller shot towards the goon.

"Tiger Blade!" Flynn called out as she jumped into the air while swinging his blade upwards, taking one of the Blood Alliance members with him, and as he came down again, he swung the sword downwards, taking the blood Alliance member with him back down again. As they landed, Flynn instantly followed up with a Demon Fang, sending the Guild member towards several of his buddies.

"Sonic Thrust!" Flynn called out as he then shot towards them and stabbed his sword through the same guy again before pulling it out as he said the name of his next attack "Sword Rain!" And he started relentlessly thrusting his sword at them before suddenly jumping up into the air "Rising Falcon!" He then shot back down again diagonally towards them as he thrusted his sword through them, and as he came to a stop, he turned around for one final attack as he swung his sword at them horizontally "Koushouyoku!" And suddenly a glyph appeared beneath their feet before a beam of light shot down.

"Crushing Eagle!" Yuri called out as he stabbed his sword into the ground, causing a small shockwave which hit several surrounding Blood Alliance members and he then followed up with his Destruction Field arte as he spun in the air and slammed his sword onto the ground.

"Naruto Rendan!" Naruto called out as he finished one of the Blood Alliance goons before landing next to her downed form as he looked around to see that more Guild members were coming across the bridges "Man, these guys just won't stop coming."

"Maybe if we destroy those Blastia by the bridges–" Patty started, but she stopped as she sensed something.

"Stone Blast!" Rita called out, but Patty jumped out of the way before she could get hit by the rocks that started shooting out of the ground.

"Hey, what was that for, Nanojiya?!" The blond Pirate asked.

"We're not gonna destroy any Blastia, you hear?! We just need to turn them off." Rita said.

"In that case, leave it to me." Robin said as she assumed the stance of her Devil Fruit before an arm suddenly grew out of the sides of the Blastia before pressing a button which seemed to cause the balls of Aer to vanish as the gears the furthest from the platform moved down before going under the other gears.

"All right, now let's take care of the rest of these flunkies before going for Barbos." Flynn said and it didn't take long before the rest of the Blood Alliance members were down for the count, leaving only the Guild Master left standing.

"Humph. You shouldn't underestimate me!" Barbos said before a blue energy beam suddenly shot out of where his right eye should be.

"Ah! Watch out!" Naruto called out as he and Judith jumped out of the way of the beam, Naruto jumping to the left while Judith jumped to the right. However, then Barbos started turning his head to his right, causing the beam to follow after Naruto and – by extension – go towards Karol, Robin, Repede, and Flynn.

"Guys!" Estelle yelled as the beam approached them, but Naruto then pulled out a kunai with an explosion tag attached to it and he threw it towards Barbos, aiming for where the beam came from. However, as the kunai approached the Guild Master, he raised the golden ball on his left arm to block it, causing the sharp projectile to imbed itself in the ball before blowing up, the explosion causing the beam to stop. But when the smoke from the explosion settled, everyone could see that the ball didn't even have as much as a dent from the explosion.

"How did he do that?" Karol asked, wondering how someone could shoot a beam out of their "eye".

"Look closely." Robin said and everyone else looked towards Barbos to see that instead of an eye, he had a golden ball the size of an eye-ball in his right eye socket which had a small hole on the front, likely where the beam was shot from.

"I see. So that's where the beam came from." Naruto said before adding "This is gonna be trickier than I thought."

"Be careful." Robin warned before adding "I'm almost certain that he'll use that mace-head he uses in place of a left hand as a weapon as well, and those spikes on it looks like they could dig into your bones, so you can't attack him recklessly."

"Gotcha!" Naruto said before charging forward.

"Wait, did you even listen to what she said?" Karol yelled after the blond, though Robin just smiled.

"Geh. Attacking me by yourself? I don't know if you're brave or just foolish." Barbos said before raising his sword and swinging it down towards Naruto, but the blond quickly dodged to the right only for Barbos to then swing the large blade towards his left. Naruto jumped up as he pulled out several kunai before throwing all of them at Barbos, one after the other, but the leader of the Blood Alliance blocked them with his mace-head before knocking the blond out of the air by swinging the flat side of his blade at him, sending him crashing into the ground.

"Hey, are ya just gonna stand there an' watch 'im fight Barbos by himself?" Raven asked as he looked towards Yuri.

"Heh. Wouldn't dream of it." The raven-head said before charging forward, soon followed by Judith and Patty as well as Repede, Karol, and Flynn from the other side of the platform.

Raven readied his bow as he aimed at all of them "Love Shot!" He called out as he fired several arrows, hitting all of them in the back of their head as their wounds suddenly healed before the arrows vanished.

"Smile of wavering darkness! Spread Zero!" Rita called out, but Barbos jumped out of the way just in time as a sphere of darkness appeared where he just stood, destroying everything within it. As he landed however, Judith and Yuri appeared in his face.

"New Moon Blade/Destruction Field!" Judith and Yuri called out respectively as the blue-haired Krityan thrusted her spear towards Barbos while Yuri swung his sword down towards him, but he easily blocked both of them with his sword before swinging said sword, sending them flying away.

"Dragon Upper!" Karol called out as he appeared behind Barbos and sung his axe upwards, managing to slash it across the one-eyed man's back.

"Grr! You little…!" Barbos said as he was about to turn around, but just then…

"O din of this modest land! Stone Blast!" Rita called out, causing several rocks to shoot up from the ground, stunning the Blood Alliance leader long enough for Flynn and Repede to attack him.

Repede charged at Barbos as he slashed at him with his dagger as Flynn jumped into the air "Hell Pyre!" The Knight called out as he sung his sword through the air, sending a ball of fire down towards Barbos. However, the one-eyed man then kicked Repede away before blocking the fire ball with the mace-head.

'Nani?!' Flynn thought in surprise before Barbos aimed the mace-head at him.

"Heh. So long Knight." Flynn's eyes then widened as the mace-head shot out towards him as it was spinning rapidly.

"Risky Cast!" Patty called out before a barrier suddenly surrounded Flynn, stopping the mace-head as it went back to Barbos' arm while Flynn landed back on the ground.

"Man, I knew I'd have to watch out for that thing, but I never thought you could do something like that." Naruto said, causing Barbos to look over his shoulder to see Naruto in the air behind him with a Rasengan in his right hand which he then slammed into the one-eyed man's face, causing him to be sent flying through the air before he crashed into the ground, digging a small trench in it before coming to a stop.

"O caprice of innocent waters! Champagne!" Rita called out as a pool of brownish water appeared beneath Barbos who was now on his knees as he climbed back up to his feet, ignoring the lethal water that was damaging him.

"I don't know about him being as strong as the Don, but I can definitely say that he's pretty strong. Heh, he could probably take most of us out with one strike each if we're not careful." Yuri said.

"You're right. The only ones who could probably take more would be myself, Robin, and Raven." Judith said before adding "And possibly Flynn as well."

"Hey, what about me?! I'm a Yonko, you know! Nanojiya!" Patty yelled.

"Oh? Is that so? Well, then you should be able to beat him easily without any help." Judith said as she looked at the blond girl who then chuckled nervously as she scratched the back of her head.

"Heh heh. Actually, I'm not really all that strong. Most of my accomplishments are due to my First-Mate, Seifer who's actually far stronger than I am." She said, causing everyone to sweatdrop before she added "At best, I could take on a strong Marine Vice-Admiral."

"Enough talking." Robin said before adding "He's up." Everyone then looked towards Barbos to see that he was indeed back on his feet.

"Heh. Did you really think you could beat me with that? Pathetic." Barbos said.

"Hey, how can you still stand after taking my Rasengan to the face?" Naruto asked.

"You shouldn't be so surprise, brat. After all, there's a certain technique that everyone at my level should know which allows me to protect myself from any attack against me." Barbos said.

"What…?" Naruto asked.

"Haki. More specifically, Armament Haki." Patty said.

"Huh? Armament what?" Naruto asked as he looked at her confused.

Patty then closed her eyes as she explained "Armament Haki is one of the three most commonly known types of Haki. With it, one can make their body as hard as steel, meaning that most attacks will be rendered useless."

"So… what's Haki?" Naruto asked.

"This isn't the time to talk about that. I'll explain it later. Now let's take this bastard down! Nanojiya!" Patty said as she assumed a fighting stance.

"Heh. You brats are gonna take me down? What a laugh. Well then, c'mon! If you think that you can beat me, you're welcome to try it!" Barbos said.

Unknown location

In the middle of a very dark room was a man sitting in the lotus position as he seemed to be hovering slightly in the air. He had long white hair, reaching down to his mid-back and some kind of horn-like protrusions were coming out of his forehead. He also wore a white robe which had the symbol of the Council of 5 on the back. Aside from his horns, however, the most eye-catching feature about him would have to be his eyes as they were a pale white color and around the eyes were several visible veins.

"This is when the battle will truly begin. Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto, will you really be able to win this fight? No, will you be able to survive? Your opponent is far beyond your current level." He said as he used his Byakugan to watch the fight going on atop Ghasfarost before shifting his gaze slightly.

"And even if you survive, there'll also be him to deal with." He said as his gaze had shifted to some kind of large bird-like creature covered in black, red, orange, and yellow feathers as he flew in the direction of Dahngrest 'Could it be that he sensed her? The Child of the Full Moon?'

His gaze then shifted again as he saw a large fleet of Samurai Warships going up against a slightly smaller fleet of Marine Warships.

"And elsewhere, the war between the Youkai/Samurai Alliance and the Marines has started it seems." He said before his gaze shifted again, but this time, to seven different places "And all the while, the seals on those seven are weakening with every passing second." His gaze however then stopped at one in particular "One seems particularly close to breaking. It seems that we may be approaching the end after all."

A door then opened behind him as a person walked in, closing the door behind them.

"Still watching everything from here, Hamura? You need to get out more." A female voice said as she came to a stop behind Hamura.

"What did you come here for, Aurora?" Hamura asked as he looked at her with his Byakugan, not even bothering to look over his shoulder.

The woman standing there, Aurora, was a tall slender woman with long pink hair that reached down to her butt, big cerulean blue eyes, and large E-cup breasts. And the only things she wore as clothing was a thin pure white silk robe and a pair of equally white sandals. Anyone who looked at her would say that she's gotta be the most beautiful woman to have ever walked the Earth.

"Kanali-chan and the others completed their mission and have successfully managed to escape from Acnologia with a little help from Mar-kun." Aurora said.

"Yes. I'm already aware of that." Hamura said.

Aurora then stepped closer to him as she said "So, how's the current Digi-destined doing? After all, they may prove to be our last hope against the Perfect."

"They're all quite weak. None of them could even hold a candle to an infant from our time." Hamura said.

"Heh." Aurora folded her arms under her breasts as she said "Remember what our time was referred to before they started calling it the Void Century? The Age of Titans. That was not a reference to the size of the people back then, but rather a reference to the simple fact that at that point in time, the average kid would hold power similar to one of today's Yonko."

"Yes, I remember. But that age is long past. It was destroyed by the Perfect." Hamura said.

Aurora then walked up to Hamura before draping her arms over his shoulders as she leaned down, pressing her breasts against his back as she leaned her head towards his right ear.

"Hey, Hamura. Fiore's Grand Magic Games will start soon in just a couple of months, so what do you say about going to watch them? It would do you some good to come out of this room for a change." She said.

"Very well. I'll watch them… from here." Hamura said and Aurora slumped her head and sighed in disappointment before standing up as she turned around and folded her arms under her breasts again as she looked at him over her shoulder.

"You know, it wouldn't kill you to get out once in a while." She said before a tic-mark appeared on her forehead and she turned around as she pointed an accusing finger at him "Hey, did you hear me?"

"Yes, I heard you. You don't have to shout." Hamura said.

"Sorry, but are we interrupting something?" Aurora turned around as she heard the new voice to see Arceus appear with someone on his back. The person then jumped off his back to reveal that it was a Human.

He had pale skin, slate grey hair and equally grey eyes. His attire consisted of an open blue jacket with a red shirt underneath and a white scarf around his neck. He also had black pants and on his head was a red cap. Upon closer inspection, though, one would be able to tell that he was no ordinary Human as he was slightly transparent and small light particles were floating upwards around him.

"Lucas, Arceus, what brings you here?" Hamura asked without even looking at them.

"What? Aren't you even gonna look at us?" The Human, now identified as Lucas said, disappointment evident in his tone.

"We came here because of some disturbing news." Arceus said.

"Disturbing news?" Aurora asked.

Lucas had his eyes closed before opening them slowly as he said "Yes. I don't know if you're aware all ready, but… the Pokémon Trainer AZ of the 100 Gods is dead." At this, Aurora's and even Hamura's eyes widened. The 100 Gods were a group of people that had one way or another become immortal in terms of no longer aging, and in this current age there shouldn't exist anyone with the power to stand up to them.

Chapter preview

Yuri "That's it, Barbos. It looks like you were the fool who didn't know when to give up."

Barbos "Heh heh heh. Don't think this is over, Yuri Lowell, Flynn Scifo, Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto. When you see me again, it'll definitely be the last thing you'll see!"

Ragou "I'm innocent, I tell you! This is a plot by the Knights to destroy the Council!"

BOOM (a giant bird flies across the skies over Dahngrest, attacking the city)

Naruto "Wh-what is that thing?!"

Kyubi 'That's…!'

Flynn "Yuri, Naruto… protect Estellise-sama…"

Kyubi "Phaeroh!"

Naruto "Next time on Naruto: Shinobi Hunters: Phaeroh!"

Phaeroh (looks at Estelle) "The insipid poison of this world must be purged."

Character information

Name: Kanali Masaki.

Age: 16

Affiliation: Council of 5.

Affinities: Cats, Chaos Energy (?).

Likes: Bakuto-onii-sama, Aurora-sama, Lopmon, Ita-chan (Itachi), Cats, Cute things.

Dislikes: Zeref, The Perfect, Evil, Kuroneko, Lucifer-sama.

Info: Kanali grew up in a small village in the Kingdom of Fiore along with her older twin brother, Bakuto. As their parents had died due to unknown circumstances shortly after they were born, Bakuto had been the one to take care of her and protect her, however, one day when they were 8 years old, the village was attacked and destroyed – that was the last day Kanali ever saw Bakuto. She herself survived amongst the rubble and was soon after found by Aurora of the Council of 5 who took her in. She was then trained to become an Independent Digi-Destined – a number of Digi-Destined serving the Council of 5 who work by themselves. She had always had a thing for cute and cuddly things, and was especially ecstatic when she finally met her Digimon partner, Conomon who would later Digivolve into Lopmon. Kanali also studied a lot in the arts of Senjutsu, and since she liked cats a lot, it came as no surprise that she chose to train in Neko Sennin Modo. When she was 13, she and Lopmon were given the mission to take out a certain Digimon, but the chase for the Digimon eventually led into a dark cave where they encountered the Summon Spirit of Darkness, Shadow, they just barely managed to get out of it alive, but the encounter left a permanent mental scar on them. Since she was trained by Aurora it can also be assumed that she has Chaos Powers, however, this is as of yet unconfirmed.

Kurama no Kyubi: Finally done with the chapter, gotta say it took longer than I expected. Now then, I've noticed how there hasn't even been a single review for the previews chapter and the ones before that has been a little lacking as well, so could you please leave some reviews after this one? Doing so will inspire me to keep on writing. Also, one more thing, I was planning on doing this next chapter, but I've decided to add some new story previews here instead, so please enjoy them.

Story preview

Itachi "If you keep your eyes open and look closely, you'll be able to see it too. The world's changing, a new era is upon us. Straw-Hat Luffy, let me join your crew and we'll brace this new era together!"

Ryu (OC) "Straw-Hat Luffy, Nine-Tails Naruto. I've heard a lot about your achievements."

Chopper "That's right, I'm a reindeer, but… I'm a man, too!"

Robin "LUFFY! I WANT TO LIVE!"

Franky "If the ancient weapon ever got into the hands of an idiot like you – someone who would go berserk with power – another weapon will be needed to stop you. It's what the architect planned!"

Brook "There's something I promised a friend. Unless I fulfill that promise I can't call myself a man."

Patty "I'm looking for the Maris Stella, the greatest treasure of the Legendary Pirate, Aifreed. Nanojiya!"

Unknown "Monkey D. Luffy, Uzumaki D. Naruto, Roronoa Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Nami, Ryu, Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Franky, Brook, Patty Fleur. Continue to travel through the Grand Line and reach the end of the New World, Raftel. There you will find all the answers you are looking for; there you will find the One Piece!"

Naruto "Follow the epic adventures of Nine-Tails of the Straw-Hats (formerly known as Naruto: Ninja Pirates)! Coming soon!"

Kurama "If there's really anyone that's truly evil, THEN IT'S THE WORLD GOVERNMENT!"

Story preview

Sasuke "It's been a while, hasn't it, Naruto?"

Naruto "Sasuke…?!"

Ganondorf "Gahahahahahah! So this is all the Kyubi Jinchuriki can do? Pathetic! You're not even worth crushing."

Link "As we are now, we are no match against them. We need to get stronger."

Unknown "If strength is what you desire, then I can help you."

Lucario "I can feel it in the Aura. There's a storm coming, a storm that could destroy the whole world."

Mario "Follow the exciting story of Super Smash Bros. Z! Coming soon!"

Goku "My Kamehameha didn't do anything to it… what is that thing?"

Armageddon (a dragon from my original story) "ROAR!"

Story preview

Naruto "Where… am I?"

Mega-Man "This is it, Bass!" (he and Bass fires charged shots at each other, but Naruto gets in the way and is hit by both)

Rock "My and Bass' attacks accidently hit him. Can you save him?"

Naruto "Ugh, what happened?"

Roll "He's awake!"

Rock "Follow the exciting story of Mega-Ruto! Coming soon!"

Dr. Light "What's your name, son?"

Naruto "Uzumaki Naruto."

Information: Naruto somehow gets transported to the world of Mega-Man where by accident he gets hit by Mega-Man and Bass' attacks, and nearly his entire body is destroyed, the only reason he survives being thanks to his unbelievably strong will. Mega-Man brings him back to Dr. Light's lab to see if there's any way to save him and Dr. Light – being the good doctor that he is – manages to save Naruto by rebuilding his body, turning him into a robot, or to be more specific, a cyborg.

Story preview

Leaf (a male Leafeon) "Glace! Glace, where are you? Glace!"

Eevee (imagine him having a high-pitched voice) "Wow, you look terrible, mister!"

Leaf "I'm looking for my sister, Glace, a Glaceon."…"I will not rest until I find her."

Pidgeot (flies over-head) "Leaf, I saw a female Glaceon being taken away by some Humans! I think it might be your sister!"

Leaf "GLACE!"

Eevee "Follow the exciting adventures of Leaf the Leafeon! Coming soon!"

Information: For once it's not a Naruto story or a crossover involving Naruto. As you could probably guess from the preview, it's a story about a Leafeon who goes out on a search for his missing sister, a Glaceon. And no, the enemies of this story is NOT Team Rocket (though they will likely make an appearance). Also while I said that it won't be a crossover, it will run within the same canon as Naruto: Pokémon Journeys, so Naruto and Sasuke may make a cameo.

Story preview

Hinata "Wh-what is that thing…?!"

Naruto "It's a Hollow – an evil spirit that devours the Souls of both the living and the dead."

Hinata "Ah… Naruto-kun? Wh-what are you–Ah!" (Naruto shows her his hand which reads "make a scene and you'll wake up in the Soul Society tomorrow" while smiling like everything's normal)

Hollow "Huh? Who're you?"

Hinata "Soul Reaper Special Forces recruit, Hyuga Hinata!"

Naruto "Follow the exciting story of Soul Reaper Naruto! Coming soon!"

Jin (OC) "Things seems to be getting quite interesting around here."

Information: One night, Hinata and her younger sister, Hanabi meet a boy named Naruto who doesn't appear to be any older than Hinata and that is dressed in unusual garb and has a katana. They are soon attacked by a Hollow – a malevolent evil spirit, but Naruto easily takes it down. The following day, he turns up in Hinata's class-room in her and Hanabi's school as he had taken an interest in them as they were able to see him. He also starts training Hinata to become a Soul Reaper. Naruto is part of a legion of Soul Reapers known as the Soul Reaper Special Forces (working name until I can think of something better) which is a group of Soul Reapers only known to the Soul Reaper Captains that are stationed in the World of the Living.

Story preview

Shinju "It's been 20 years now since the Fourth Great Ninja War, and in that time peace has reigned. But, that won't last for long. I can feel it, they are coming."

Urahara "Seven beings, each with the power to destroy the world. There will be no safe place to hide, not in the World of the Living, not in the Soul Society, not in Hueco Mundo, not in the Digital World, not even in the demonic realm of Niflheim. The Perfect will leave no rock unturned, no building left standing, no creature left alive. They won't stop until we're all dead, until this world is destroyed, until the entire Universe itself ceases to exist."

BOOM (Mariejoa blows up, followed by the Red Line)

Naruto "The Perfect, huh? That's a word I hoped I'd never have to hear again."

Bakuto "Find out how the world ends in Naruto: Shinobi Hunters: Perfect Invasion (working title). Coming soon!"

Perfect Leader "This world will soon end."

Information: 20 years after the Fourth Great Ninja War, the Perfect finally attacks the world, starting by destroying the World Government's capital of Mariejoa as well as the wall of rocks known as the Red Line. With the head of the World Government cut off, most of the rest of the world quickly becomes dis-organized as they were part of the World Government. Soon after the initial attack, however, the Perfect vanishes again, before reappearing soon after along with an army of unknown Digimon. Pokémon and normal Monsters the world over also starts acting strange before suddenly attacking the Humans and other species around the world, and on top of that, many Hollows – evil spirits that normal people cannot see – also starts serving the Perfect. And as the invasion truly starts, the clock starts ticking downwards towards the world's destruction. Note that this is an alternate future to Naruto: Shinobi Hunters so any "spoilers" that may pop up can be taken with a grain of salt. Also, before the invasion, there'll be several chapters that'll be focused around one of the franchises in the story with one chapter for each franchise. So for now, you can all just wait impatiently for this story while I try and figure out how to write the Tales of… chapter.
