THE FALLEN ANGEL AND RISEN DEMONS
CHAPTER 3: LIGHT AND DARK
NOTE: okay. Here we are for the third chapter of this fic. It's quite popular, which pleases us greatly. If you enjoy this fic please by all means try our other two. All of which are twists to the Naru-verse
A Large explosion of white light and black fire rippled out from the mountain fortress. Echoing through the land as dust all around the fortress was sent flying from the pressure wave as the ground trembled in sync with it
The night sky had turned to day... a muggy, cloudy, and rainy morning, as lightning crackled in the distance over and over... each followed seconds by booms of thunder
The Arch Angel Hitose flew out of the cloud of fire and smoke before smashing into the ground on his back, sliding several feet away
The Demon General Noburo walked through the smoke with his two blades in hand. He approached the wounded and beaten Hitose(not that Noburo didn't have his own set of injuries and wounds) "you're quite the opponent Arch Angel... but if it wasn't for this purification technique you would have long since been dead" Noburo said
Hitose rose to his feet holding his arm and panting heavily "You think that I'm finished... so long as Haku's 8-Ice Column Purification technique is active My win is secured... even against you, Noburo..." He retorted
Say what you will human... you may be able to claim this fortress but you will not be leaving here alive... as for this purification bullshit..." Noburo said before curling his arms in towards his body as black energy began emitting from his body "Critical ERUPTION!" he roared before swinging his arms out and a dome of fiery demonic chakra which expanded out wards at impossible-to-avoid speeds
Hitose barely had time to widen his eyes before the wave hit him and he was caught in it
Haku let out a scream of agony from his place high in the air. the dark Energy began to seep, pour and then blast out between the bars of ice.
The Ice prison began to crack and split as the holy aura around them faded
Haku continued to scream out from the pain as he tried to hold the technique together "I-It... hurts... I-I-I can't k-keep i-it up a-anymore!" he yelled "Forgive me master... I can't do it anymore, I'm sorry" he thought just before the ice prison around the fortress shattered as the dark energy shot out
A pulse of energy rippled out from Haku's body before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell unconscious out of the sky
the dark energy faded and Hitose lay unconscious and half dead on the ground
Noburo jabbed a sword in the ground and leaned on it as his centaur-like lower body lowered its self to sit down. He panted fiercely.
Just then Haku's body collided with the ground behind the Demon General, who turned around to see the angel boy laying "A-A boy... He was responsible for that purification?! He has this much power at this young of an age...?" Noburo stood up and walked over to Haku's unconscious body
The Demon looked at the boy for a moment "I need to remove him before he becomes to much of a threat... if not possibly the greatest threat to us Demons" he said before raising his blade up and flipping the blade down, with the tip of the blade pointed over Haku's heart "Farewell" he said just before raising the blade up to thrust it down into Haku. But mili-seconds before the blade pierced Haku's heart a ripple of blue energy shot out from his body and repelled the blade and the shock-wave sent Noburo sliding back on the ground, still on his feet
Haku opened his eyes which were filled with a very dark blue energy. He levitated up and straightened his body out vertically before facing Noburo. He gnarled at Noburo, revealing sharp jagged teeth of solid ice
"What the...?" Noburo said to himself, He held his swords back up and then he noticed a thin layer of frost-like ice growing over the blade he attempted to stab Haku with. The ice traveled up the blade slowly until the entire sword and Noburo's hand were frozen over "No... Don't tell me..."
Haku's wings burst into clouds of feathers before Ice grew in their place, forming 4 new wings
Noburo snarled and braced himself and readied his weapons
"Raaaaaaggghhhhhhh!" Haku roared with a beastly echo to his voice and holy energy swirled around him like a violent tornado
Noburo braced himself from the cold, powerful wind as he looked around to see everything in the fortress freezing over "Damn... if I knew he was the one I was dealing with, I wouldn't have used so much energy to break the purification seal... I don't think I have the energy left to fight him and win right now"
Just then, spinning snow and ice swarmed around Haku, covering him completely from sight
"I think I should try stopping him..." Noburo said before putting his two swords together back into one blade before dark energy emitted from it and then he pointed the blade at Haku before a black and red beam shot out from it
The beam flew towards the swirling mass of snow and ice but just then a long thick tail of ice flew out and with its tip, pierced through the front of the beam, causing its to slip into several different rays of energy that shot out forcing them to miss Haku's general area
"Damn..." Noburo said "Well... no pain no glory... I'm going!" he said before dashing in through the wind and such as he reared his blade back and he slashed towards the mass of wind
Just at that moment large claw of ice burst out from the mass of wind, snow and ice and blocked the blade
Noburo growled as he tried to over-power it
After a few seconds of struggling Noburo pulled the blade back and slammed it back down as hard as he could, the force of which caused the swirling snow and ice to blast away, revealing a fairly large, bi-pedal dragon of PURE ice, with four massive wings of ice, a long tail and three horns growing out the back of his head, it had large hands with massive claws, it's eyes were nothing but cold blue energy that released a cold fog, that fell almost like tears
The Ice-Dragon roared so loud only a crack of thunder right above head could be considered louder
Noburo looked on as he continued the power struggle with the beast "Dammit... I KNEW IT! You ARE the one I was thinking of"
The Ice-Dragon, Haku, used his free arm to smack Noburo in the gut and send him sliding back on his feet(technically they're paws... happy you picky people? lol)
Haku extended his wings fully out on his sides and released countless icicles from them in a cloud that flew straight for Noburo
The Demon General slashed his sword and created a blast of energy that blocked the icicles that were bound to hit him otherwise
He quickly held his hand forward and blasted a HUGE black fire-jet of flames and energy at Haku, who folded his wings around himself and the fire hit him and spread out in every direction behind him
Haku quickly flapped open his wings and from his mouth, blasted a beam of holy energy and ice, which clashed with the fire and pushed it back towards Noburo who growled and jumped to the side to avoid the blast which froze the ground below it as it traveled
Noburo charged at Haku and jumped into the air before slashing down with his mighty sword
Haku held up his left forearm and blocked the attack, which created a small crater underneath the Ice-Dragons feet, sending cracks throughout the ground
Noburo landed and quickly slashed his sword horizontally to smash into the dragons left side
The dragon used its right hand to grab the blade and the dragon slid on the ground from the force of the strike. But Haku gripped the blade tightly with his claws and spun to his left, pulling Noburo off his feet and spinning him around in a circle before throwing him through the air and he smashed into the rocky mountain side
Haku let out a ferocious roar that echoed through the mountains
Hitose fluttered his eyes open and looked to see the ice dragon "N-No... Haku..." he muttered before falling unconscious again
Noburo pushed himself off the mountain side and dropped the twenty feet to the ground and looked at Haku "Bastard... I don't have enough energy to keep this up" he said to himself, but he held up his sword regardless... it was at this time that he noticed his sword was covered in a thick layer of ice, and cracking
"Wh-What...?" he said before his blade shattered to pieces "DAMMIT!" he barked
Haku began taking slow steps towards Noburo... Freezing the ground where his taloned feet touched
"Fine I'll just pull you down into hell!" Noburo roared before holding his hand towards the ground "Demonic Calling... Bring forth the undeads grasp, to drag my opponent into your deadly embrace" He chanted "Black Seduction!" he called out
Just then, large skeletal-like demonic hands burst from the ground around Haku and grabbed onto him all over his body. His wings, his arms, his legs, his tail, and his abdomen
Haku roared and struggled to pull free
"Now you worthless cur... I'd have you melt over and over again in the infinite fires of hell!" Noburo said, before swiping his hands down and the skeleton hands started to pull Haku down into the ground
Haku stopped from moving though and the hands all froze over instantly before the dragon extended his wings and arms to shatter the hands
"FUCK!!" Noburo cursed "This is not good..."
Haku flapped his wings and launched high into the air, soaring above the mountains before looking down at them and opening his mouth as wind, ice and snow began to swirl around his mouth in an violent tornado effect before it blasted a huge beam down at the mountains
Noburo's eyes widened "Dammit..." he said just before the beam hit the ground right under Haku and in a matter of seconds the ENTIRE(!!) mountain range was frozen over, Tree's , plants, bushes... rocks all of it was covered. Covered in a thick layer of ice, and snow... with ice spikes growing out of the now frozen ground
Not 200 yards away Noburo stood on the frozen branch of a tree in his human form, covered in wounds. He sighed "Lord Minato will not be pleased... they've finally sent in the son of Hyouretsu, the Ice God..." he said to himself before vanishing in a cloud of darkness, with a dark purple energy seal under him
Haku began to glow as he roared once again, and in a flash of blue light The ice dragon form was no more and an unconscious Haku fell to the ground below
--
"Oh god YES!" Ino moaned out loudly as he body rippled with an intense orgasm
She lay still in her bed panting still rubbing slight circles around her heated clit "Wow... that was amazing... now I just need to get some dick in me and experiment with another girl heehee" she giggled before getting out of her bed
She got ready and licked her fingers clean before going out of the room into the hallway where Naruto was walking into from the stairs "There you are, come on already move it you lazy bum!" Naruto said before turning back around and going down the stairs
Ino giggled quietly before following him
They went out the front door "So what did you have planned today?" Ino asked the boy
"We're going to go talk to a few friends of mine. Get their help in training you..." Naruto said before pulling out his journal and writing a little in it before closing it and putting it back in his jacket
"And who would they be?" Ino asked
"You'll see..." he said
--
Soon the duo found their way to a side of town Ino had yet to see "How far is it?" Ino asked
"Just around the next corner"
"Are these 'friends' of yours really gonna be any more help then you of all people?" She asked
"I may be good, but three heads are better than one..." Naruto said "Plus it will help for you to learn from more then one person to widen your horizons... like me... I'm being trained by two demon generals and a demon lord not counting my father along with them..."
"No wonder the Seraphs want you dead..." Ino said
"Meheheh..." He chuckled
They walked up to a door and Naruto knocked
A few seconds later the door opened revealing a girl with a black tank-top, and slightly baggy black combat pants... he hair was brown and it was done into two buns "Hey Naruto, whats up...?" the girl asked before looking at Ino and raising an eyebrow before scanning up and down her body
The girl had an almost unnoticeable smirk as she licked her lips "and who is this...?" she asked curiously
"Hey Tenten, this is Ino... you're not gonna believe her story" Naruto said pointing at her "and keep yourself in control for now dammit... I know how you get..."
"So what did you want?" Tenten asked
"I'm actually here to talk to Tayuya... she come over yet? Like she does everyday" Naruto asked
"No, not quite... come in, she'll be here soon" Tenten said before backing up
Ino and Naruto walked in and Tenten closed the door "Just sit anywhere" she said
"Okay"
Tenten looked down at Ino's butt as she walked "So fit" she though mischievously with a slight grin before following them to the living room where they sat down
"Anyway, Ino this is Tenten she's one of the few people I bother conversing with..." Naruto introduced them
"Hey" Ino said
"I'm feeling something odd about her... it's like she's not a demon... but she not anything else I've ever sensed before either" Tenten said "what is she?"
"She is a Fallen Angel" Naruto with glee in his voice
"Seriously?!" Tenten asked
Naruto and Ino nodded
"Damn... I've never actually seen one before... or sensed one" Tenten said
"I know! They're rare these last couple of millennium" Naruto said
Naruto and Ino described her story from the attempt to read the compendium, up until now and by the time they were done Tenten had a bemused look on her face
"Okay let me get this straight you want me and Tayuya's help to train her? A Fallen Angel? That stole a page of the Grand Compendium and gave it to your old man so she wouldn't be killed on sight? Along with the fact she now has Dark powers some how?" she asked and got nods in return "You're right... I DON'T believe her story"
"Well it's true..." Ino shrugged
"I want Tayuya's help with teaching her tricks and such for fighting close or mid range battles and you for long range battles" Naruto said
"Why can't you just do it...? You know we're no match for you" Tenten said
"I CAN do it alone but that's not the point... I'm teaching her techniques, power, and control of that power... besides you know melee isn't my best field" Naruto said
"Okay... if you say so. But if you didn't hate him, Rock Lee would have been a better choice. Now do you want Tayuya to help with training for today and I help tomorrow?" Tenten asked
"Yep... " Naruto said before looking to Ino "See, she knows how I think and I don't even need to say a damn thing" he grinned "I was gonna work you on a daily cycle between training type"
"You want me well rounded don't you...?" Ino asked
"Yes..." Naruto said before looking up and down her sexy body "Not to say that you're NOT well rounded already in certain fields" He said
Ino blushed a bit and looked away as she huffed
Just then they heard the front door to the house open and then a girls voice came out "I'm here baby" she called out
"Okay sexy" Tenten called back to the hallway that lead to the door "I'm in the living room talking to Naruto"
Seconds later a red haired girl wearing a pair of black shorts and a neon Pink T-shirt, that was so tight it left nothing to the imagination.
"Naruto's here? Cool I needed to ask him something" she said before noticing Ino "Hello... This ones pretty sexy" she said
"Hey" Tenten said puckering her lips and crossing her arms
"Oh calm down baby, you know I'm just having fun... we're both succubus you know... it's what we do"
"Except for the fact that succubus are SUPPOSED to be attracted to the opposite sex and seduce THEM... not the same sex..." Naruto said in a smart-ass like way
"What...?" Ino was lost
"They're lesbian succubus... go figure..." Naruto shrugged and chuckled just before a vase smashed into his face. Ino got startled and leaned back a little
Tayuya stood there in a posture proving she threw the vase. "But we will still get a man from time to time."
"Now that wasn't called for..." Naruto said snapping his nose back into place
"We're demons we need little to no reason to do things" Tayuya said
"Touche" He said "and by man you mean that one time you two attacked me and just tried having your way with me... not that I minded"
"Tayuya will you stop throwing my things at people!" Tenten barked
"Sorry baby..."
"Now just sit down" Tenten said
Tayuya sat down next to Tenten
Naruto made a noise with his mouth to sound like a whip cracking as he flicked his wrist like he was using said whip "bitch whipped" he said with a smirk
Tayuya growled "why you little..."
"oh shut up you know you love me" He grinned
"what was it you wanted to ask Naruto?" Tenten asked Tayuya
"I was gonna see if he could get his dad to let me go to the wind country" she answered
"Why do you want to go there?" Tenten asked
"There's been rumors going around about powerful beasts emerging around that area..." Naruto said "Does that have anything to do with it?"
"Yep... I know somebody from there who sent me a message saying that the beasts are remnants from the last great battle between Heaven and earth" Tayuya explained
"Remnants? What's that mean?" Ino asked
"Well the last big battle between heaven and the demons of earth, was so fierce that the overflow of holy and dark energies infused into the animals and made some of them mutated and changed...This has happen several times in the course of history... it's said if you kill the beasts the energy leaves the body and becomes free again... but it can be contained and controlled"
"oh so your trying to feed off that power to get stronger huh?" Naruto said
"Yep..."
--
"WHAT!?" Minato yelled furiously
A wounded Noburo knelt before his desk "I'm sorry my lord, I failed you... with that purification and the son of a god fighting me there was no more I could do..." he said
"Dammit... dammit! DAMMIT!" Minato slammed his fists down on his desk and it broke and shattered to pieces "they just took over one of the most strategic points on the continent!"
"My deepest apologies my lord... I will accept any punishment you deem fit" Noburo said
"No... you are a powerful ally... and I can't have you dying on me. You made the smartest choice at the time. It's not you I'm angered with... it's the fact that now that they have that mountain range, they can launch an attack from the north on any of our strong holds or cities across the continent... that mountain range covers the entire north end of the land scape... we HAVE to take it back"
"So my lord they've stolen the same tactic and battle ground we did in the last days of the tiny resistance that the few humans that opposed us put up" a voice came to the room
"Where the hell have you been Demon Lord Xargin? I called you back here four days ago!" Minato said
"Sorry my lord... the battlefront is growing more intense by the day. Those angels are becoming relentlessly persistent" a man covered in a skeleton-dragon-like armor appeared next to Noburo. His eyes were covered by a dragon-head helmet
"I called you back here so that you could lead a division of soldiers to the eastern continent to take it back from the Angels but now I've just been informed that our Northern mountain stronghold has been taken over... so I'm changing your orders to take it BACK" Minato ordered
"Hhmm... that is not such a wise idea, my Power is needed on the front lines" Xargin said "you should assign Demon Lord Selphus. She should be more than enough for that task. Plus she just recently finished developing a curse that will spread through the angels like a plague"
"Verywell... she doesn't have an assignment right now since she just reported to me a few days ago, about the completion of the curse I put her in charge of making. The problem is you know it's nearly impossible to contact that woman"
"Well that my lord is where I have a surprize for you... you see I haven't told you this yet because I wanted to make sure I had a glorious warrior, but I've taken on an apprentice... he has the ability to sense the presence of any person in heaven, hell or earth. Sankuru, you may show yourself" Xargin said
"Yes master" A young man appeared kneeling next to Xargin. He had slightly long black hair hair that was left loose hanging and he bore a scar on his left cheek. He had black battle gear on which consisted of a black chest plate, shin guards and forearm protectors, underneath he had black pants and shirt which were torn and showed signs of intense battle. He had a cloth tied around is right wrist that hung just off of his arm by a few inches
"Xargin why did you not inform me that you had an apprentice?" Minato asked
"Because like I said I wanted to make sure I hit the jackpot. This demon is potentially one of the strongest to date. I've long since tested his skills, traits and abilities... he's even proven them in the front lines by my side. He's already slain over five hundred angels" Xargin said
"So you're suggesting to me I have your apprentice search out Selphus and deliver to her, her orders?" Minato asked
"Yes" Xargin nodded "My apprentice shall not fail"
"Very well I will take your word for it. But if something goes wrong it'll be your head" Minato said pointing at the Demon Lord
"Xargin, I would be careful... a Demons apprentice can't stay loyal for too long..." Noburo said
"good... I want him to become stronger than me and appose me so as to take his rightful place my successor" Xargin said "now Sankuru, do as The Demon King asks and you shall be rewarded greatly. Fail and you'll be punished" he said to his student
"Yes my master... and.. I NEVER fail..." Sankuru said
"I know you can't... that's why you're my apprentice meheheheheh" Xargin said
Sankuru stood up and faced Minato "I'm ready for your orders my king but first I require a picture of Demon Lord Selphus or a possession of hers to find her"
"Here is a picture..." Minato said flipping through the pages of a book on his desk before holding it out to him "This is her"
Sankuru looked at the picture
The woman had long dark blue, curly hair. She wore a black head band on her forehead that also covered her right eye
Minato handed him an emblem of a skull and several designs surrounding it "Show her this to prove I sent you"
"Very well... I shall return within two days" Sankuru bowed before he disappeared in a flash of red light
"Now if you'll excuse me my king I must return to the battlefront. I am needed. Noburo. Rest and recover. For the TRUE battle has yet to come!" Xargin said before vanishing in a blur
Noburo stood up and looked at Minato "I'm going to go rest"
"Before you go..." Minato said before standing up and walking up to him "you've long ago earned this my friend" he said before putting his finger on a seal mark on Noburo's arm and the symbol changed from a squared with several lines and triangles in it, to a triangle with a diamond in the center with several tribal lines around it
"I grant you the title of Demon Lord...you earned it when you killed a seraph but the council wanted to make sure you were loyal..." Minato said
"I'm deeply honored my king... but who will you assign as the demon general in my place?" Noburo asked
"I have two choices, maybe three right now... one of which is that Sankuru boy... I felt and intense power in him. He even hid himself completely from my senses. Xargin was right when he said he has got potential"
"Who else comes to your mind?" Noburo asked "If you don't mind my asking"
"Who do I hold more praise in than anyone else my old friend...?" Minato asked
Noburo grinned "heheh oh I see... you're son" he said "Very nice. Do you feel he has what it takes to be a Demon General?"
"Yes... he's already at the level of a greater demon... funny thing I don't think he realizes that because he's so obsessed with figuring things out and being mischievous"
"He's definitely your son Minato" Noburo chuckled. "I say let him try being a general... he might teach US a thing or two"
--
Back on the mountain range a Seraph knelt down next to the unconscious Haku, as Hitose stood next to him and dozens of other angels were busy scrambling around the fortress, purifying it, and various other things "Hmmm... his true-form went berserk again... thats the second time in two days... His conflicted emotions must be driving it"
"I'm sorry for not being able to control him... The Demon General Noburo was here and he manged to knock me out and destroy Haku's purification seal" he said lowering his head
"It's not like you could have done anything anyways... don't beat yourself up about it, old friend" The Seraph said "Something tells me this war is about to grow twice as fierce"
Just then two angels walked up to Haku, the Seraph and Hitose "Medical units reporting, Kitero-sama"
"Very good, take him back to heaven and heal him... make sure to set up a barrier to keep his true-form in check"
"Yes sir" they said before they ach put a hand on Hakus chest and in a flash of light a white beam shot into the sky and the three were gone
Hitose turned to the seraph "So what are the gods orders now?"
"None for you..." Kitero answered "you just need to stay here. When Haku recovers we'll send him back down to aid you in guarding this fortress. the Demons are probably already plotting a way to take it back"
"Understood" Hitose said
"Now I have to return to the Heavens... when new orders arise I'll will report them to you..." Kiteru said before flapping his wings and lifting slowly into the air "Until then my friend... Farewell"
"You too"
Kiteru disappeared in a flash of light that shot into the sky
"Hitose looked over the frozen mountain range and sighed "pour Haku..." he said
--
In the brilliant Cathedral in the heavens Nagano and three Angels with four wings each stood in a large chamber with a fountain next to them
"What are your orders lord Nagano?" one of the angels asked the Seraph
"We have come to discover a great problem... Two in fact..." Nagano said in an all to serious tone
"What are they?" an angel asked
"Look into the water..." Nagano said before turning to the fountain and holding his hand out to it an Image of Naruto and Ino, training with Tayuya and Tenten , then images of Naruto and Ino training the day before flashed before their eyes
"The Fallen Angel Ino has sided with demons. She has forsaken this realm. Add to that the fact she is coercing with the Heir to the Demon Kingdom. Not only that the gods have brought to my attention that a page of the Compendium is MISSING!!" Nagano barked furiously
"What?!" the angels said in unison
"I want you to inform all of your assassination squads, that The gods want that wrenched demon boy killed along with the traitor Ino! After you've done that you are to retrieve the page from the girl, and if she doesn't have it don't kill her and MAKE her tell you where it IS!!" Nagano said
"YES SIR!" they said before vanishing in blurs, with feathers scattering about
Nagano turned back around and looked at the water in the fountain seeing Ino "You traitorous, little FOOL... How dare you steal a page of the compendium. How did you even DO IT?!"
