Chapter 5: Jungle Joyride

Moka, Kumuru, Yukari, Mizore, Ruby, Kokoa and Gin followed Marine to the hanger bay where the planes where kept. When they got there, they saw the Tornados I and II and the X-Tornado along with a red plane, and orange plane, a blue plane, a white plane, a purple plane, a red and orange plane and a green plane.

"Cool, you fixed them up?" Yukari gasped.

"Yep!" Marine answered proudly. "The red plane is yours, Moka. It's called the Red Sweet Pea. Kumuru, you have the orange one. I call it the Beach Melon. Yukari, the blue one is the Magical Romance. Mizore, the one in white is the Snow Storm. Ruby, you have the Regal Purple Sacral. Kokoa, the red and orange one is Noble Fang. And Gin, the last one is the Lunar Hunter."

"Wow, those are some sweet names." Gin grinned.

"I really like them." Kokoa added. "And I can't wait to use it to blast that bastard of a demon to bits!" Even though Kokoa acted like she was better than everyone else because she was a vampire, she hated anyone who made people suffer just for the fun of it. Nene was one of those that she disliked.

"You'll get you chance." Kumuru said with a grim face. "We'll all get our chance. It's because of bigots like him that humans hate demons some much!"

"Anyway, where did Sonic say we're were going next?" Yukari asked.

Adabat... Some time earlier...

"WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?!" Sakuya Kazamatsuri screamed out at the top of her lungs.

"A jungle?" Hifumi Inokai asked sarcastically.

"I don't think it was a rhetorical question." Tetsuro Tanaka said.

"Incomprehensible." Otome Chono uttered.

It was summer vacation for Tetsuro and the Koi Koi 7. They were getting ready for the vacation in their dorm rooms when a black portal appeared before them. They tried to resist it but they ended up sucked in. Now they find themselves in a jungle it the sun shining above them.

"Well, we wanted a vacation right?" the ever cheerful Yayoi Asuka smiled. "Maybe this is the place!"

"You seem happy." Akiwo Suzuka said as her mouth twitched.

"I wonder what kind of jungle this is...?" Miyabi Tsukuyomi wondered as she looked around. She soon noticed someone lying on the field. It was an eleven year old girl with blond hair tied in ribbons, wearing a white blouse with a pink vest and a long blue skirt. Miyabi walked up to the girl and tried to shake her awake. "Um, excuse me?" Miyabi asked suddenly, she idly move her arm around her head and pulled her head to hers, will she was still asleep.

"Oh my Seiya," she muttered as she puckered her lips, "Kiss me..."

"Wh-What are you doing?!" Miyabi panicked. The youngest of Koi Koi 7, little Celonius 28 got out a bucket of water and splashed them both. The girl snapped out of whatever she was dreaming and shook her head.

"(cough, cough) Hey!" Ririka Moriya hacked as she coughed water out of her throat. She opened and eyes and looked at the Koi Koi 7. "Am I'm... dead?"

"I don't think so." Akiwo surged. "Are you?"

"I thought I was..." Ririka said as she got up and looked around. "Where… Am I?" Ririka asked as she looked around before turning to the Koi Koi 7.

"Hey, don't look at us. We have no idea either." Sakuya frowned.

Before Ririka can answer, a huge blader type robot landed near them.

"That's not one of Miya's robots... " Miyabi frowned. The Bladerider revved up.

"Why does this happened to me?!" Tetsuro wailed as he and the Koi Koi 7 braced themselves, Ririka knows what to do and got out her magical cap and yelled out "Holy Power, Holy Prayer, be here!" A pink flash of light appeared and Ririka now appeared as a ballerina of some sort. Her hair was longer flowed down her back. She also had a long pink scarf around her neck. She was now transformed into legendary Nurse Angel Ririka. Tetsuro and the Koi Koi 7 gasped as they looked at her. She got out her baton and pointed it at the Bladerider. Suddenly, a orange and pink blur slashed through the giant robot.

The group turned to see a boy who wears an orange jumpsuit, blond hair with a head band with a symbol of a leaf and a girl with pink hair and a red Chinese dress standing on a tree branch.

"I don't know what's going here or where we are, but we'll never turn down a person in need of help!" the boy pointed at the Bladerider.

"Naruto! Let's go!" Sakura Haruno yelled, the boy known as Naruto nodded. "Let's do this, Sakura! Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto Uzumaki did some hand signs and suddenly, there were 10 Naruto clones. Then an attack that had a soothing wave of love struck the Bladerider, then three attacks that was made of fire, water and wind added to the damaged while Naruto used his Shadow Clones to deliver the final blow. They all looked to where the strange attacks came from and found four girls who looked like angels and three more girls who looked knights.

The groups looked at one another, but before they can say a word, more Bladeriders and humanoid robotic soldiers called Strikeans fell out of the sky and aimed their weapons at the groups while the Bladeriders revved up.

"No good… They have us completely outnumbered." Celonius 28 gulped.

"Everyone, we have to escape the jungle!" Angel Salvia yelled.

The groups heeded Salvia's advice and went to find a way out of the jungle. The robots were not far behind.

The groups ran through the jungle with the robots hot on their heels.

"Where'd those guys come from!?" Angel Daisy panted as she and the other Love Angels where flying.

"Hey, don't look at us!" Umi Ryuuzaki retorted.

"Wow! We being chased by robots! So cool!" Yayoi squealed.

"You're enjoying this?!" Wedding Peach gawked.

"Watch out! They're starting their first wave of attack!" Angel Lily pointed as Magnum Loaders cut in front of them and went to the offensive.

"I got them!" Ririka shouted as she shot out blasts of Green Vaccine at some of the Magnum Loaders. They vanished in bright beams of light.

"Flame Circle!" Hikaru Shidou yelled as she threw out a wave of fire at the other robots. They all exploded.

"Whoa! That was awesome!" Akiwo gasped.

"Second wave approaching." Otome announced as Glovers and Surveillance Eyes got in front of them. There were also purple can like robots with legs called Zap Shockers.

"These guys are mine!" Sakuya said as she took out a bazooka and blasted all the robots away.

"We still have to find a way out of the jungle! Come on!" Angel Daisy reminded them.

The continued to go through the jungle as the fought of more robots that got in their way. The reached some ruins that were very fragile, running through them before they got crushed. Then they had to jump their was up as rocks were falling down. As the got out of the ruins, they saw a beach near by.

"Look, there's a way out!" Angel Lily pointed.

"Huh?! Above us!" Fuu Hououji gasped as she saw to giant hulking robots land in front of them with a crash. The two Heavy Fists beat their chests as they prepared to attack.

"Get out of our way!" Hifumi yelled as she jumped high into the air and smashed her feet into the first Heavy Fist. The force of it shockingly crushed through the armor. Then she took the other Heavy Fist by the leg and threw it to the ground, head first. She finished it with a suplex, once again crushing the armor. Everyone but the Koi Koi 7 gawked as they watched her demolish the robots.

"Woah, she's strong..." Naruto gasped with widened.

"Super strong." Umi nodded dumbly.

They continued their way to the beach with fewer interruptions. When they finally found that they were safe, they collapsed on the sand, tired and hungry. Ririka, along with the Love Angels and the Magic Knights, reverted to their street attire.

"Wow... what a rush!" Hinagiku panted.

"What is this place?" Scarlet asked as she got up and looked at the sea.

"This doesn't look like anywhere in Konohagakure that I know of." Sakura frowned as she got up.

"OK!" Hikaru chimed as she jumped up, cat ears almost visible. "Introduction time!"

"What?" Sakuya frowned as she got into her face. "We're all stranded in a middle of nowhere with killer robots chasing us and you think this is a time to introduce ourselves?!"

"I think that is a wonderful idea." Fuu smiled charmingly. "We need to stick together and find our way out of this mysterious frontier."

"That's the same thing you said when we first met." Umi sweatdropped.

"She's right though." Yuri nodded. "Until we find a way off this place, we're stuck together."

"No problem." Naruto shrugged.

"My name is Ririka Moriya. I just turned eleven."

"I'm Yayoi Asuka! I'm fifteen!"

"Tetsuro Tanaka. I'm fifteen too."

"Name's Sakuya Kazamatsuri. Second year of Gokoh Academy high school."

"Hifumi Inokai. I'm also in my second year."

"I'm Miyabi Tsukuyomi. It's nice to meet you I guess."

"My name is Akiwo Suzuka! Also at the age of fifteen!"

"Otome Chono. Konnichiwa."

"Hi! I'm called Celonius 28."

"Momoko Hanasaki, also known as Wedding Peach."

"Yuri Tanima, Angel Lily. It is very nice to meet you."

"Hinagiku Tamano, Angel Daisy! Nice to meet ya!"

"Scarlet Ohara, Angel Salvia. It's a pleasure."

"My name is Umi Ryuuzaki. Junior high, 8th grade."

"I am Fuu Hououji. Also in junior high, 8th grade."

"Hikaru Shidou! Fourteen years old, 8th grade!"

"Sakura Haruno, thirteen years old, medical ninja."

"Naruto Uzumaki, thirteen years old, future Hokage!"

"WHAT?" Ririka, Hikaru, Hinagiku, Momoko and Umi gawked. "You mean you're a year younger than I am?!" Momoko gasped.

"I didn't think you were that close to Kanou-sempai's age!" Ririka added.

"I thought you were still in grade school!" Hinagiku said.

"I'm so sorry, I thought so too." Yuri said as she bowed in apology.

"Yeah, even I'm taller than you." Hikaru told him.

"That wasn't very nice!" Naruto wailed as tears ran down his eyes in a funny way.

"Calm down, noodle brains. First things first. Let's look for info on where we are." Sakura suggested.

"We can try asking the nice people in that village over there." Yayoi suggested cheerfully as she pointed to a nearby village.

"Well that was easy." Hifumi commented as the group entered the village.

As soon as they entered the village, they saw a villager.

"Um excuse us ma'am. Can you tell us where we are?" Tetsuro asked.

"Oh! Visitors! Welcome to Adabat, one of the islands of the Philippines!" The woman said cheerfully.

"Adabat? I never heard of a place called Adabat." Hikaru said confusedly.

"Oh. Are you visitors? Well, this is a bad time. Lately, people around the world have been kidnapped and being held against their will. And rumors has it was done by Manfred von Richthofen!" The village woman said sadly.

"World War I?" Naruto blinked.

"One of the most historic and tragic events in world history." Fuu answered.

"Huh? But I thought Manfred von Richthofen was dead." Miyabi confusedly stated.

"Some say he was brought back to life by supernatural forces. And to make matters worse, some children from our village have been kidnapped by a snake man." The woman continued. Naruto and Sakura absorbed the snake man info in their heads and wondered that her description of the snake man is relative to someone they know.

"You must be tired. I'll tell the Innkeeper to give you rooms, free of charge." The woman offered.

"Thank you, ma'am." Sakura bowed politely.

So the new visitors began to explore the village looking for info about Manfred von Richthofen, so far, they got none. After 5 minutes, they stopped at the Inn.

"So what do you guys know about World War I?" Naruto asked. "How did it start?"

"You two don't know about World War I?" Umi blinked.

"Nope, sorry." Sakura shook her head.

"WWI was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist on June 26, 1914." Chono elaborated. "The event shook all of Europe and set off the Great War. It ended on November 18, 1918 with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles."

"Whoa, that bad?" Naruto blinked.

"Yep," Akiwo nodded. "But let's see how we got on this island anyway. What about you, Ririka? What did you mean when you asked if you were dead?"

"It's kinda hard to explain." Ririka answered as she looked down. "But in short, the Earth was infected with the Black Vaccine. I had to give up my life to erase the Black Vaccine. When all was done, I thought I would die, but..."

"But you somehow ended up here." Scarlet nodded. "Well, don't worry. This isn't the afterlife."

"Yeah, maybe we can find a way for yo to go back home." Hikaru added.

"So what about you guys?" Naruto asked.

"We were getting ready for our summer break!" Yayoi smiled.

"What do you know? So where we." Momoko answered.

"We were on our way to another town." Umi said.

"And we all got sucked into a black portal." Miyabi told them.

"So, what were you guys doing before you got pulled to this island?" Hinagiku asked.

"Sakura-chan and I were hunting a wanted criminal." Naruto clarified with a grim tone in his voice. "He's very dangerous!"

"How dangerous?" Momoko asked fearfully.

"One of his abilities lets him turn into a giant snake." Sakura explained.

"A snake?" Yuri blinked. "Didn't that woman say that the children of this village were taken by a snake?"

"Yes, perhaps he followed you two to this island as well." Fuu pointed out.

"Well, in that case, we have to look for him." Naruto nodded. "Let's wait until dark."

A few hours after a brief relaxing...

"Alright, is everyone ready?" Sakura asked. Everyone was present outside the inn and ready for business. But the Love Angel weren't present.

"Yeah, but what about those other girls?" Umi said as she folded her arms. "They're late."

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" They heard Peach's voice shout. They saw some movement on the roofs before four familiar figures landed in front of them.

"Huh? Hey, we aren't going to a wedding you know!" Sakuya frowned. Yep, the Love Angels were in their first forms, which were wedding dresses.

"Incomprehensible." Otome spoke.

"This?" Lily blinked as she pointed at herself. "Sorry, it's our first forms."

"But don't worry, we can take care of it!" Daisy smiled.

"Bridal Change! Wedding Dress Transform!" the Love Angels shouted as they were engulfed in light. A short time later, they were in the slim and skimpier outfits that they saw before.

"Well, that will do." Fuu smiled.

"Hm?" Tetsuro arched an eyebrow as he noticed something green in Ririka's hand. "Ririka, what's that?"

"This?" Ririka inquired as she held up the item. It was a glowing green shard. "I found it while we were playing on the beach. It looked important so I took it."

"That makes sense." Hikaru said.

"Come on, there's not a moment to spare." Salvia nodded. They all nodded and went through the jungle.

The group went into the deep jungle, searching with the flashlights they brought with them. Interestingly, they had to solve some puzzles to move on.

As they continued their way through the jungle, they had to evade the traps that were made to put an end to their passage. They reached the end of the jungle when got to a grotto with some curtains covering something.

"This looks like the end of the jungle." Ririka stated as she looked around.

"Yeah, but what are those?" Hifumi asked as she aimed her light at the objects. She went over there and pulled it off with a swift motion and they found...

"It's the missing kids!" Peach gasped.

"Look! It's all of them!" Celonius 28 said as she and Yayoi pulled off more sheets from the cages.

"Wh-who are you?" one of the kids asked.

"Shh, it's alright. We are going to save." Fuu said soothingly. Suddenly, the lights came on, slightly blinding them.

"What's this? Trespassers?" a hissing voice said mockingly.

They all turned around and found a pail man with long black hair with a pail robe. Next to him was a man with ninja attire, gray hair and glasses.

"You! I thought it was you!" Naruto yelled.

"Who is he?" Umi frowned.

"That is Orochimaru, the criminal that Naruto and I were looking for." Sakura frowned. "The one next to him is Kabuto Yakushi, his spy."

"Hnn, no matter where I go, your meddling knows no end Uzumaki." Orochimaru huffed, though he was smirking.

"What do you want with these, kids?" Sakura demanded. "Isn't Sasuke enough for you?"

"Speaking of which, where is he?!" Naruto demanded.

"Oh, Sasuke is safe and sound back at our base." Kabuto chuckled. "So don't worry about him."

"Sasuke's Sharingan is marvelous, isn't it?" Orochimaru began. "So you already know why I have him in the first place. But the immortality technique can only last for three years before I am forced to choose another host. Why go through all the hassle of finding another host when these so much youth around us?"

"You petafile!" Sakuya snarled.

"Whatever you plan on doing with these children, we won't let you." Miyabi spoke with a cold tone.

"We won't let you get away with this!" Salvia shouted. "In the language of flowers salvia means a burning heart! You criminals who mislead innocent hearts, I will erase your filthy souls!"

"In the language of flowers the name of the pure lily is special. It means it will bloom and grant love!" Lily continued as she pointed at them.

"The Daisy is the emblem of the innocent heart. Its power can withstand even the most evil wind." Daisy added as she did a V sign.

Suddenly, wedding bells could be heard chiming from all corners though no one knew where it came from. That was when Peach spoke.

"Summer time is near and boys and girls alike are planning the greatest break of the year. On a lovely night like this, how dare you kidnap these innocent children! I am the Love Angel! I am Wedding Peach! AND I AM EXTREMLY ANGRY WITH YOU!" She pointed a accusing finger at Orochimaru and Kabuto.

"Wow, that was so uncool." Yayoi blinked.

"And I suppose you can do better?" Peach snapped.

"Watch us!" Sakuya smirked.

"Spring flowers bloom in the spring, and fall flowers blossom in autumn." Yayoi began.

"Despite the flowers, people still weep and cry for help." Akiwo continued.

"The moon to the east and the sun to the west." Sakuya added.

"As long as the world has evil..." Miyabi trailed off.

"One cannon survive on kindness alone." Hifumi concluded.

"Let me bloom, the flower of love." Otome announced.

"Life is short, thus make us your love maidens." Yayoi finished.

"Six we are, but they call us Koi Koi 7! Even without call, we have awakened!" all six girls finished with a team stance.

"Well, that was lame..." Peach muttered under her breath.

Orochimaru, on the other hand, applauded. "Bravo, bravo. You girls have moxie." he snickered. "Now... let's see if you live true to you're words!" he challenged as he brought out two swords from his fists. Kabuto also brought out kunis.

"Watch out! They're going to attack!" Sakura shouted. Orochimaru has hidden techniques and Kabuto can do strange things with his body! Stay alert!"

OROCHIMARU AND KABUTO (Theme: Blackened Angel from Devil May Cry 4)

"Let's dance!" Kabuto yelled as he as he threw out the kunis at them. As the flew through the air, the kunis lit up in dark chakra. "Watch yourselves!" Naruto shouted as they avoided the attack. "And here's some more!" Orochimaru shouted as he lifted his hand and shot snakes at them. "Whaa!" Peach screamed as she ducked from one of the snakes. "They aren't human, are they?" Salvia shouted as she sliced the snakes with her Saint Pure Sword. "They're human, there just powerful ninjas!" Sakura shouted as she slapped another snake with her kuni. "Whatever they are, there going down either way!" Umi shouted as she went into a fencing stance before dashing up to stab Orochimaru with her rapier. But when she went for the kill, his waist separated from his body, making the rapier miss completely. "Wha... no way!" Umi gawked. "That's right, little girl! Water Typhoon!" Orochimaru shouted as he made a tornado of water slam into Umi and pushed her back. His body went back into place. "So, you wanna play with water?" Umi growled. "Water Dragon!" She called forth a dragon of water from the ground and slammed it into Orochimaru. "Not bad, but can you handle this?" Kabuto taunted as he shot out wires from his fingers and latched them onto her rapier. He tugged the wire, making her fly into the rocks with a crash. "Hey, don't count us out just yet!" Sakuya shouted as she fired a machine gun at Kabuto. He dodged it with ease by jumping to the air and threw kunis at her. Miyabi cut in and blocked the kunis with her living hair, slapping each one as the came. "What?" Kabuto gasped as he saw it. Just then, a blue laser hit him on the back and sent him to the ground. "Hey! Pay attention!" Ririka shouted as her ring dimmed in blue light. "Don't think were done yet!" Orochimaru shouted as he threw rocks at them. Miyabi used her hair to slice the rocks clean in half. "Have you every heard of shampoo?" Sakura said as she arched an eyebrow. "Yes. Why?" Miyabi asked. "Oh. Just checking." Sakura blinked. "Over hear, old man!" Hifumi shouted as she slammed her fist on the ground. This made rock pillers appear in front of her and rush at Orochimaru. He jumped into the air but was caught by Akiwo who threw him into a wall. The rouge ninja quickly fund himself and recovered as he landed on the wall, feet first. "This is going to be more difficult then I assumed." He frowned. "Wow! Lots of fighting everywhere! This is so cool!" Yayoi cheered as she, Tetsuro, Otome and Celonius 28 stood on the sidelines. "Why does this happen everywhere where we go?" Tetsuro moaned. 'Everyone, stay calm. The enemy is weakening.' Otome said in their thoughts. 'Roger!' They nodded. "Your end is near!" Orochimaru yelled as he shot out lethal swords from his mouth. "Oh God!" Hikaru swore as she deflected the attacks. "Angel Aid Bomb Beam!" "Emerald Typhoon!" Ririka and Fuu combined their attacks along with Sakura's kunis to knock Orochimaru off the wall. "Salvia Slash!" Salvia yelled as she slashed her glowing purple sword at him, sending him sparling back. "Lily Kick!" "Daisy Punch!" Lily and Daisy send kicks and punches of blue and yellow Love Waves, making him dizzy. "Bridal Kick!" Peach yelled as she came down on him with her foot glowing red. She slammed her foot in a powerful axe kick, knocking him back. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as he did his signature hand signs. An army of Naruto clones appeared in puffs and ten of them jumped into the air and landed on Orochimaru. "Gotcha now!" the other clones shouted as the rushed over and dogpiled him. "Not over yet!" the last clone shouted as he took one of the clones by the feet and ran back. The clones cringed onto one another and made a human chain with Orochimaru at the other end. "Special Technique: Ultimate Ninja Handbook!" the clones shouted as they slammed Orochimaru to the ground with great force and vanishing in puffs of smoke.

"Sugoi." Tetsuro blinked.

"That was amazing." Fuu agreed.

"We won!" Yayoi cheered.

Naruto walked to where Orochimaru crashed. But when he looked down at the crater, he saw to his shock that nothing was there but a log. "A Substitution Jutsu! He's gone!"

"Kabuto ran off too! And the kids are gone!" Akiwo realized.

"Where did they go?" Peach asked.

Suddenly, a roar of jet engines where heard. The group when out to the shoreline and found Orochimaru and Kabuto standing on a black jet, which was hovering over the ocean.

"Amazing," Orochimaru admired. "For young girls that aren't even ninjas to be to be this powerful. Maybe I'll be using one of you as a host one of these days."

"Unfortunately, we have a schedule to keep." Kabuto said dramatically as they were both lowered into the jet.

"Wait up! We aren't done yet!" Naruto shouted as they chased after the jet as it prepared to depart. Their efforts were proven for naught as the jet blasted off in a huge blast.

"They went Star Trek on us." Umi frowned.

"Hey!" A voice shouted, the group turned to see Sonic, Shion, Tsukune, Sliver and MOMO. The Great Hurricane appeared shortly after Orochimaru escaped, staring at them. They stared wide eyed at him.

"Is that a….?" Fuu blinked.

"What? Ever see a hedgehog before?" Sonic chuckled.

"Wow! A talking blue hedgehog!" Yayoi exclaimed cheerfully.

"Excuse us, are you from other worlds?" Shion asked.

"Other worlds?" Tetsuro blinked, then it hit him. "I now know where we are! We must be in another world!"

"So what are you? A mutant hedgehog or something?" Daisy asked.

"What? No way! Sonic's the name, speed's my game!"

Just then, Knuckles came out of the Great Hurricane and stomped up to Ririka. "Hey, give me that piece of the Emerald kid!" he demanded.

"What?" Ririka blinked as she stepped back.

"That shard you're holding! It's a piece of the Master Emerald! Let me have it!"

"Knuckles, be nice." Tsukune frowned.

"I think we might have to explain something to you." Silver said. "Why don't you guys come with us and we'll talk about the situation."

"I guess we don't have a choice." Salvia nodded.

Suddenly, a green blur came out of the Great Hurricane, three seconds later, the green blur went back into the Great Hurricane.

Sometime later after the Great Hurricane took flight...

"Tsukune!" Kurumu exclaimed as she ran over and pulled Tsukune's face into her breasts. "I've missed you so much!"

"Kurumu, stop that, and it's only been a few minutes," scolded Moka.

"But I just missed my sweet little Tsukune," said Kurumu as she continued to hug Tsukune to death.

KLONG!

This time a kitchen sink dropped on top of the succubus' head and knocked her out. Tsukune was able to breathe but removed the sink from the girl's head and picked her up before placing her on a chair.

"Yukari, you could've hurt Kurumu."

"But Tsukune, that cow was about to suffocate you."

A panel in the ceiling was pulled away and Mizore popped out of the hole, upside down, "If Yukari hadn't done it, I would've done something."

"Tsukune..." Moka smiled as she glided up to him. He knew that look in her eyes.

"Go ahead." He sighed as he exposed his neck. Smiling, Moka hugged Tsukune before pressing her fangs into his neck.

"CHU!"

"So all of you are from different worlds too?" Momoko asked.

"Yeah, just like you. I'm betting that you all got sucked in a black portal?" Kagome asked. The half-angel nodded.

"Here's the thing, we can't return home until we defeat the one who made us come here in the first place." Lina explained. "In this case, it's Manfred von what's-his-name."

"So we have to travel the world to stop the crisis?" Fuu smiled. "After seeing Adabat, I would appear though our world is the same as this one. I always wanted to travel the world."

At that minute, Trista arrived caring some stone tablets. She set them down on the table for everyone to see.

"What's this?" Artemis asked.

"These are the stone tablets that contain information on the 8 Wonders of the World. This is why I asked Sonic to stop by Adabat," she said.

"Really?" Naruto asked.

"The tablets tell of 8 mystical treasures that were created by ancient societies. Each of the treasure had a special power and all eight could fuel an ancient weapon called the Harvester. We need to find the six other Wonders of the World before Manfred does."

"So we're tomb raiders now? Just great." Corina remarked.

"Now there just some more stops we need to make..." Sonic said.
