It was time for the insidious D-Rank Missions, also known as the Chores. Team 7 is now called as Team Cosmic Dragon.
"These D-Ranks are nothing more than a bunch of chores that lazy Civilians can do," Sakura commented.
"I know Sakura, but we are going to have to put up with it," Nicole replied. "Luckily, I have ways to make them all very exciting."
"I cannot wait to see them, sis," Naruto expressed his excitement.
"All right, our first mission is to garden at a farm," Nicole explained.
"That's one of my likes," Naruto commented.
"Cool," Lincoln said.
"Let's go," Nicole said.
They were picking vegetables and fruit at the farm when Nicole transformed the area into the village of Midwich from the 1995 movie "Village of the Damned," and they saw the children from the movie facing the people.
"Whoa!" shouted Lincoln. "I know this movie. We're in "Village of the Damned," and those are the Children."
"What were they known for, Lincoln?" Sakura asked.
"They were all born at the same time because of aliens from another planet, and these children all have strange psychic powers that cause people to kill themselves and those around them," Lincoln explained.
"That's terrible," Nicole exclaimed. "We have to stop them. Sasuke, how would you like to show them the power of an Uchiha Elite?"
"It would be my pleasure," Sasuke answered.
"Go get them!" Naruto yelled.
Sasuke ran through the children, punching, kicking, and slashing them until just one remained. All that was left was a girl.
"That's enough, Sasuke," Nicole said. "Let me face this one."
"She's all yours," Sasuke answered.
"However, well done," Nicole added.
"Thank you," Sasuke replied.
Nicole faced the girl.
"You destroyed my brothers and sisters, and you will pay for it," the girl declared with a British accent.
"Oh, I don't think so," Nicole replied. "You have terrorized this entire town and drove people to do the unthinkable, and you will pay."
"I don't think so," the girl answered.
The girl's eyes glowed a bright red-orange.
"I don't think so," Nicole responded.
Nicole's eyes glowed crimson red, causing the girl to violently convulse and her head to explode all over the place.
"That did it!" Naruto yelled.
"Nicole, that was incredible," Fu added.
Nicole said, "Thanks, guys."
"Very impressive," Sasuke commented.
"Your psychic powers destroyed hers," Lincoln explained.
"Yeah," Nicole agreed. "We saved this town from the terror of the Children of Evil."
Once the gardening was done, they moved on to their next mission.
"Next is painting fences along the village," Nicole explained.
They started painting fences white, and the area changed into the fictitious small town of San Angelo, California, where they saw giant black crystals growing at an alarming rate, and the entire town was terrified.
"Oh wow!" exclaimed Nicole. "I know this movie. We're in the 1957 movie "The Monolith Monsters."
"I remember this one," Lincoln recalled.
"Those black crystals are amazing," Naruto commented. "How are they growing so fast?"
Nicole explained, "They were made when a meteor crashed into that valley, and they absorb water and spread very slowly. They also thrive on absorbing silicon from everything they touch, and if a human is drained of silicon, they will turn to stone."
"So those crystals will petrify everything carbon-based?" Juri asked.
"That's horrible, and the entire town is in danger," Fu added.
"How are we going to destroy them?" Naruto wondered.
"Salt water," Nicole explained. "They disintegrate when exposed to salt water."
"But the ocean is over 100 miles from here," Sakura pointed out.
"Yes," Nicole agreed. "But we have water powers. Let's do it."
Nicole fired a water blast, which hit the salt flats and turned into salt water, forming a wave of water. Naruto, Sakura, and Juri did the same, and the massive tsunami crashed into the Monolith Monsters, who disintegrated in seconds.
"That takes care of that," Nicole remarked.
"Yep," Naruto agreed. "We saved this entire town, and maybe the entire world, from total destruction."
"We sure did," Ami agreed.
"Yeah," Akiko agreed.
"That was interesting," Sasuke commented.
"Well, that takes care of painting the fences," Nicole answered. "Now for the next mission: Feral Pig."
They found the pig in the forest, and it was a ferocious animal. Nicole changed the area into a prehistoric village.
They fought the pig, defeated it, and tied it to a pole. Suddenly, they heard drums playing, and a few beautiful blonde-haired women were about to be sacrificed.
"I know this movie," Nicole explained. "We're in the movie "When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth" from 1970. It's a movie about prehistoric men."
"I love this movie," Lincoln said. "This was also a strange one. It's about how man lived in fear and how the color of a woman's hair determined who should be sacrificed to the Sun."
"That's scary," Juri replied.
"Yeah," Naruto agreed. "But man did not live alongside dinosaurs back then."
"What year does this movie take place in?" Sakura asked.
Nicole responded, "It says it was over 200,000 years ago."
"This is really strange and scary," Naruto added.
"How can people live like this?" Fu wondered.
"During these times, it was every man or woman for themselves," Nicole explained. "Prehistoric creatures and early man were in a constant battle for supremacy."
"We have to save those girls," Naruto declared.
"Yeah," Nicole agreed. "Let's go!"
They rushed to the village, where they blasted the cave people and freed the women.
"Thank you all," Sanna said.
You're welcome," Nicole responded. "Let's get them."
Sanna drew a dagger, and Team Cosmic Dragon unsheathed their swords, forming elemental swords, and attacked and killed the villagers. Sasuke felt stronger than ever, and he began to realize that the Civilian Council was using and manipulating him in order to fulfill their own selfish desires. He decided to earn his strength and power the right way, by working hard for it.
After all the evil cavemen were killed and the women were freed, Nicole and Sanna were talking.
"Thank you for saving me, Nicole," Sanna said.
"Think nothing of it, Sanna," Nicole replied. "What they were doing to you all was unforgivable."
"I agree," Sanna answered.
The area reverted to its former state, and the feral pig was turned over to the Leaf Butcher Shop.
"Okay, our next mission is to... Oh no," Nicole exclaimed.
"What's wrong, sis?" Naruto asked.
"Our next mission," Nicole gulps, "is to capture Tora."
"Tora?" asked Naruto.
"Tora is the Fire Daimyo's cat and the bane of all Genin in the Leaf," Rin explained. "She has been a huge problem for all of us. When I first started out with Kakashi and Obito, Minato-sensei gave us that mission.
"That's what mom told me," Naruto added.
"It says here that Tora was last seen in the Red District of the Leaf," Nicole informed. "Let's go."
They went to the red district, where they found Tora and hid between the buildings.
"Cosmic Dragon here," Nicole said. "What is your distance from the target? Over."
"Thunderbirds Talon here," Lincoln said. "15.7 feet. Ready to strike. Over."
"Kitsune of Nature here," Naruto said. "Target identified as Tora and awaiting your orders. Over."
"Oceanic Cherry Blossom here," Sakura said. "Ready. Over."
"Inferno Butterfly here," Fu said. "Ready and waiting. Over."
"Ocean Dragon Princess here." Juri said. "Ready. Over."
"Sadistic Serpant here," Ami said. "Ready. Over."
"Nebula Angel here," Akiko said. "Ready to strike. Over."
"Phoenix Fire here," Rin said. "Ready."
"Black Knight of Justice here," Sasuke said. "Ready and waiting. Over."
"Okay," Nicole began. "NOW!"
They pounced, and Naruto quickly captured Tora in a vine-made cage.
"Good work, bro," Nicole complimented.
Sasuke gave Tora a fish.
"Tora captured in 3 minutes and 17.2 seconds," Nicole reported.
Kakashi appeared.
"Great job to all of you," Kakashi added. "I was watching your missions from a distance, and I'm very proud of all of you for your amazing display of teamwork. I'll take Tora back to the Hokage, and you can complete the rest of your missions."
"Yes, sensei," Nicole replied.
Kakashi did so and left for the Hokage's office.
"All right, our next mission is to read stories to the kids at the orphanage," Nicole explained.
"That sounds like a lot of fun," Naruto commented.
"I have an awesome scenario for this," Nicole added.
They were at the orphanage, where all of the kids had gathered.
"All right guys, we're going to do my favorite story from when I was a little girl: Mulan," Nicole explained.
Nicole changed the area into Mulan from 1998, and they were in the Northern Wei Dynasty from 386 to 534 A.D., and they spotted Mulan in the mountains about to be executed for high treason.
"Let's go, guys," Nicole urged.
They ran down the mountain and stopped Chi-Fu from killing Mulan. Nicole reached out and grabbed his hand.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Nicole suggested.
"Mulan, are you all right?" asked Naruto.
Nicole threw Chi-Fu as far away from the mountain as she could.
"Who are all of you?" Captain Shang wondered.
"We're Shinobi, and we've come to kill Shan Yu," Fu explained."He's still alive."
"What?" Captain Shang questioned.
"We saw him get swallowed up by the avalanche," Chien recalled.
"No, he is still very much alive, and he will not stop until China is completely destroyed," Naruto warned.
"We have to stop him right now," Sakura stressed. "He's about to resurface right now."
Shan Yu emerged from the snow, just as Sakura had surmised, and some of his men were also alive. When he saw that all of his men were dead, he roared in fury.
They saw him alive and well, making his way to Beijing.
"He's heading to the Imperial City of China," Naruto informed.
"And we will stop him," Nicole promised. "Let's go."
"Right," Captain Shang agreed. "Mulan, you had better come with us as well."
"Thank you, Captain," Mulan replied. "I'm sorry for lying to you."
"It's all right," Captain Shang responded.
Let's go, everyone," Nicole ordered.
They arrived in Beijing, where they warned Emperor Wei that Shan Yu was still alive and well, and the entire palace was on full alert.
Nicole was concentrating when she sensed Shan Yu and his men wearing dragon costumes, so she exposed them by blasting it.
"Nice try, Shan Yu," Nicole commented. "Your reign of Terror is over."
Mulan and Lincoln decided to take on Shan Yu.
Lincoln unsheathed his sword.
"Mulan, here!" shouted Nicole.
Nicole gave Mulan her family's sword, and Mulan and Lincoln engaged in a fierce swordfight with Shan Yu.
"Kids, you want to face Shan Yu's men?" Nicole asked.
"Yeah!" the kids responded.
Nicole gave them swords, kunai, shuriken, and senbon, and they all ran after Shan Yu's men and ripped them apart. When Lincoln and Mulan clashed with Shan-Yu, sparks flew, putting the entire city on fire. Lincoln had lightning surging through his sword. The city was engulfed in a raging conflagration. Shan-Yu was a formidable opponent and an extremely dangerous adversary. He was not giving up, and with each passing second, he became more and more enraged. But Lincoln got the upper hand and stabbed Shan-Yu through his black heart, and Mulan kicked him, and Mushu, her red dragon, fired a huge rocket, which sent Shan-Yu flying into a tower and exploded with incredible power, detonating all the fireworks within.
"That did it!" Nicole yelled.
They all cheered wildly for Mulan and Lincoln.
"Way to go, buddy!" cried Nicole.
"That was awesome," Sakura exclaimed.
Then Emperor Wei arrived.
"I've heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan," Emperor Wei began. "You stole your fathers armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese Army, destroyed my palace, and... You have saved us all."
Mulan was hailed as a hero and the bravest woman in China, and she was appointed to the Emperor's council, and Chi-Fu was disgraced. Mulan returned home and told her father what she had done, and he was very proud of her. Mulan has proven herself and was made a true hero of China.
The kids cheered wildly as the area returned to normal.
"I'm very proud of all of you," Nicole remarked. "You children have amazing potential to be great ninjas and accomplish great things.
They had completed their mission and had left the orphanage.
Nicole praised the team, "Great job guys,"
"Thanks Nicole," Lincoln replied.
"That was so awesome," Naruto exclaimed.
"I know," Nicole admitted. "Our final mission for the day is to pick up trash by a nearby stream. I have the perfect scenario for that."
That went to the stream, and Nicole changed the area to the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender. They then noticed a fiery comet streaking across the sky.
"Oh man!" Nicole cried. "That's Sozin's Comet."
"This is bad," Naruto muttered. "Really bad."
"What's Sozin's Comet?" Lincoln asked.
"It's a special comet named after Fire Lord Sozin, the true instigator behind the 100 Years War with the Fire Nation and the other 3 Nations," Nicole explained. "It only comes around once every 100 years, and it enhances Firebending 100-fold. Fire Lord Ozai is planning to use Sozin's Comet to completely burn the world in order for Fire to reign supreme, and he has appointed his mentally unstable daughter Azula as his successor."
"That's crazy!" Sasuke gasped.
"This is a decisive factor during this war and Avatar Aang is going to face Fire Lord Ozai and try to kill him," Naruto added. "Zuko is going to face Azula."
"We have to help Zuko and stop Azula from becoming Fire Lord," Sakura explained.
"Yeah," Fu agreed. "If she becomes Fire Lord, she will be a merciless and ruthless tyrant."
"I know," Nicole confessed. "Let's split up and take on both of them. Naruto, take Fu, Juri, Akiko, and Ami to where Aang is fighting Ozai. Sasuke, Sakura, Rin, and Lincoln, you four will accompany me, and we will go help Zuko defeat Azula. Let's go!"
They were off, and the battle to stop the Fire Nation had begun.
Battle 1: Nicole, Sasuke, Sakura, Rin and Lincoln VS Azula.
They arrived at the Castle of The Fire Nation and saw Azula facing Zuko in a Fire Duel or Agni Kai, and Azula was about to get the upper hand when Nicole swooped in and punched Azula in the face, sending her crashing into the wall.
"Azula we won't let you become Fire Lord," Nicole declared. "Your reign of Terror on this world ends now!"
Azula got up.
"You wretched brats!" Azula snarled. "You all ruined everything!"
"And we show no remorse in doing so," Nicole continued. "Time for you to die." She chants an incantation. '''Hisorpana Bixoerta Mortus!'''
Nicole fired a beam of purple lightning at Azula, which hit her and removed her Firebending, splitting into three orbs. One went inside Lincoln, while the others went into Rin and Sasuke.
Azula was down and tried to Firebend, but nothing happened.
"What have you done to me!?" Azula screamed.
"I used my magic to strip you of your Firebending," Nicole explained. "You are now completely powerless."
Then Katara chained Azula to a water grate. Azula then released the full extent of her insane delusions in a fit of rage, anguish, and hatred.
"You've lost Azula," Nicole pointed out. "Your father is about to pay the ultimate price for his crimes against this world."
"Never again, Azula," Lincoln declared emphatically.
"You're a loser, and you always will be," Sasuke declared.
"Just like your wretched father," Rin added.
"People like you only deserve to be in the Netherworld," Nicole asserted. "After your father dies, you're next. Rogues like you deserved to be punished."
Nicole had condemned him to an eternity of suffering and misery in the bowels of the Netherworld.
Battle 2:
Naruto, Fu, Juri, Akiko, and Ami were flying over Earth Country when they saw Aang and Ozai engaged in a fierce battle. Aang was in his Avatar State, and he was winning. Naruto swooped in and punched Ozai in the face, and Aang pinned him to a rock pillar.
Aang and a number of other voices cried out, "FIRE LORD OZAI, YOU AND YOUR FOREFATHERS HAVE DEVASTATED THE BALANCE OF THIS WORLD. AND NOW YOU SHALL PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE!"
Aang formed a spear out of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water and pointed it directly at Ozai's black heart, stopping his attack at the last possible second and landed on the pillar.
"No," Aang said. "I'm not going to let it end like this."
"Even with all the power in the world, you are still weak," Ozai replied.
"You're even weaker Ozai," Fu pointed out. She cups her hands to her side. "KAAAA! MEEEE! HAAAA! MEEEE! HAAAAAAAA!"
Fu fired a Kamehameha Wave right towards Sozin's Comet, which collided with it and exploded with tremendous force.
When the smoke cleared, Sozin's Comet was completely obliterated. It was gone.
"Nice shot, Fu," Naruto complimented.
"Thanks, Naruto," Fu replied.
"You wretched fools!" cried Ozai. "Do you have any idea what you have just done!?"
"We've beaten you, Ozai," Akiko declared. "Your reign of terror is over."
"And I will make sure that you never hurt any more people again," Aang vowed.
Aang placed his fingers on Ozai's forehead and chest, and a beam of Sky Blue Light exploded from his eyes and mouth, shooting high into the sky. Ozai sent a red-orange beam of light into the sky. Aang and Ozai were completely engulfed by a powerful energy. Ozai began to overtake him, and at the last possible second before he was totally overtaken, Aang overpowered Ozai and a blast of energy went into the sky, and when it faded, Aang stood victorious.
"Whoa!" cried Naruto.
Ozai tried to Firebend, but nothing happened, and he collapsed exhausted and weak.
"What?" questioned Ozai. "What did you do to me?"
"I took away your Firebending," Aang explained. "You can't use it to hurt or threaten anyone else ever again."
"Whoa!" gasped Naruto. "Aang stripped him of his Firebending and rendered him completely powerless."
"Yeah," Fu agreed. "His reign of terror is finally over."
"After 100 years of fighting, the oppression of the Fire Nation will finally be over," Ami declared.
"Yes," Aang confirmed.
Sokka, Suki and Toph arrived.
"So did you..." Suki began. "You know finish the job?"
"I'm still alive," Ozai revealed.
"Aang used Spiritual Energy and stripped Ozai of his Firebending," Naruto explained.
"Wow!" exclaimed Toph. "Who taught you that, Aang?"
"A giant Lion-Turtle," Aang explained.
"You have the craziest adventures when you disappear," Toph commented.
"Ozai has now been forever disgraced and Sozin's Comet has been completely destroyed," Fu declared.
"We saw the explosion, and it was intense," Sokka added.
A beep was heard, and Nicole appeared as a hologram on Naruto's device on his arm.
"Is Ozai taken care of?" Nicole asked.
"Aang used Spiritual energy to strip Ozai of his Firebending," Naruto explained. "He has been forever disgraced and rendered completely powerless."
"That's amazing," Nicole exclaimed. "Azula has been deposed and I used my magic and stripped her of her bending and gave it to Sasuke, Rin and Lincoln."
"That takes care of her sis," Naruto explained.
"It sure does, bro," Nicole replied. "Good work, everyone. Let's rendezvous back at the Fire Nation Capital."
"Okay, sis," Naruto replied.
The device clicked off, and Naruto bit his finger.
"SUMMONING JUTSU!" yelled Naruto.
A puff of smoke appeared, and out came a huge dragon.
Naruto climbed aboard.
"Need a ride back, guys?" Naruto offered.
"Sure, Naruto," Sokka replied.
Toph, Sokka, Aang, and Suki hopped on, and Ozai was ensnared in the Dragon's claws. They flew back to the Fire Nation Capital and landed, and the Dragon vanished.
"Well done, bro," Nicole exclaimed. "Great job to all of you."
After everyone had been gathered and reunions had taken place, Zuko was crowned as Fire Lord and the war was finally over. A new era of peace had begun.
"We have to get back to the Leaf, Zuko," Nicole informed.
"I understand, Nicole," Zuko responded. "Thank you for your help in ending the war."
"You're welcome," Nicole replied. "Azula will be taken to the Leaf and tried for everything she has done to you all. Ozai will be imprisoned in our dimension's Moon Prison for all eternity."
"Good," Zuko responded. "I hope he gets what's coming to him."
"He will," Nicole assured him. "He'll have all eternity to think about his crimes."
Later, Team Cosmic Dragon was filing mission reports to Lord Hokage.
"I see," Lord Third noted. "I can't believe Azula and Ozai would plunge the entire world into such chaos. It's good that you guys ended the war in that world. Well done. This mission will be considered a Triple S-Rank mission, and you have all made history today. You all did a fantastic job."
"Thank you, Lord Hokage," Nicole replied.
Nicole trained them in all she knows over the period of four months, and they were getting stronger and stronger at an accelerated rate, minute by minute. They were doing the Capture Tora Mission yet again.
Continues in Part 4.
