Disclaimer: I own my OC and I'm very proud!!! But… I don't own Naruto, OMG WHY!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
Author's Note: Oh god… stayed up until 3 in the morning to finish 2 projects and now I kind of regret posting up the 2nd chapter. The 2nd chapter, in my taste, sucked but I'll promise to do better! I definitely need to get more reviews so I'm thinking of changing my summary.

Ch 3: The Portal Reopens And Disaster Strikes
Sunlight filtered through the scattered clouds as it shined over a small campsite. The wheels of activity soon went into motion as the land woke up the morning air. Flower buds open and birds stretched their wings, the creature of the night went back to sleep. The early wakers quickly went to do their usual morning schedule which included, most importantly, making breakfast. Cassandra was one of the first to wake and so was Alex, the others would soon wake up to start there job again.
"Good morning Alex, slept well?" greeted Cassandra as she did some stretches.
"Yea and you?" answered Alex.
"Me too. Well we better get changed and prepare breakfast for the rest." said Cassandra.
"Yea, the last thing we want to see are grumpy people with unstable powers in the morning."
The 2 friends laughed a bit before they went for a quick wash by the river. A while later; Seth, Michael and Rebecca were awake and found a hot breakfast of oatmeal, toast, and eggs. Beside it was a steaming pot of coffee, fresh brewed herbal tea, and milk.
"Good morning everyone!" greeted Rebecca.
"Good morning Rebecca, Michael, and Seth." said Alex and Cassandra together
"YAY, you made breakfast!!!" cheered Seth as he piled his plate with eggs and toast. (he has stars in his eyes)
Everyone sweat dropped as they watched Seth in his daily morning gusto.
"Hey, where's Sora she'll be late for breakfast." asked Alex.
A mumbled groan was heard from a tent as the flap was pushed away revealing a very moody Sora. Sora, you would say, was not a morning person; she usually would accidentally blow up something on her way but the perfumed scent of herbal tea kept that at bay.
"Morning Sora, herbal tea?" greeted Michael as he handed Sora a steaming clay cup.
"Hm… thanks…" said Sora as she accepted the cup, sipping the tea with bliss.
"So how did you sleep, Sora?" asked Rebecca as she helped herself to a serving of oatmeal and toast, followed by a cup of tea. (AN: Rebecca is a vegetarian)
"I've never slept better in my whole life, I feel great." mumbled Sora.
"You don't sound great." said Alex, as he poured himself some milk.
"You've forgotten I'm not a morning person." retorted Sora.
SPLAT!
A piece of egg accidentally landed on Sora's face, what's worse it happened from Seth's morning gusto. The egg slid slowly off of Sora, but she grabbed and threw it on the ground revealing a dark, fiery face. Seth on the other hand was shrinking under Sora's death gaze as he tried to mumble an apology.
"Seth…" Sora hissed icily. She looked like she was going to send Seth into Darkness, but she inhaled and sighed slowly. "Please don't do that again, ok?" said Sora with a hint of death etched on it.
"Ok…"
"Are you going to eat anything Sora?" asked Michael when he noticed her empty plate.
"No, since it's nearly a full moon but I'll start to become hungry again when the moon wanes." explained Sora. (AN: since she's is a dark/night summoner; she's connected to the symbol of dark/night, the moon)
"I see." said Michael.
For a couple of minutes, they talked a bit about the center area of the ruins.
"Strangely the area felt like something was bending the space around us; but it was really weak so we couldn't classify if this force was spiritual, magical, or physical." said Cassandra.
"Well we did find some tablets that bore unknown runes." said Rebecca. "My team will be able to record and translate them on the holo-prism." (AN: they don't have computers, holo-prisms are crystals shaped like a prism enchanted to record and create holograms that you can move around and stuff. Oh yea Rebecca is an expert in Rune Translation since she's a Cleric and they are needed, not only to heal, but to take care of ancient texts.)
"That's great; we might be able to find out the name of this place." said Seth returning back to his usual self.
"Well we better start working," said Alex as he picked himself up.
"Ok, you guys go ahead while Rebecca and I are going to clean the dishes." said Michael. With a wave of his hand the dirty utensils levitated and soared to a wooden bucket. Rebecca followed suit pouring water from her outstretched hand.
"So Michael, did the Winds ever tell you about this place?" asked Rebecca as she reached for the detergent.
"No, the memory of the Winds is kind of short since they travel to so many places most of them look the same. We could ask Cassandra however, an Earth's memory is nearly eternal." answered Michael as he got out to cleaning cloths.
"I asked her already, but the trees and plants don't remember anything they even said that the Earth seemed to have forgotten as well." said Rebecca.
"That's not possible; the only way that could happen is if there was a gap in the timeline. But the Time Keepers never reported any during their last inspection, which was 2 days ago." said Michael.
"Well, it makes sense that a natural disaster could've happened here, but why would the Earth not remember this place?" said Rebecca.
"I don't know, but I have a funny feeling about this whole situation." said Michael as he dried off the last dish.
"Come on we better hurry or we're going to be late." said Rebecca as she grabbed Michael's arm.
"What the-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" shouted Michael as he zoomed through the campsite with Rebecca leading the way.
At the Center Excavation Site…
SCREEEECH!
Rebecca soon came to a full stop; Michael unfortunately was flung into the air. But with quick thinking, he was able to bend the Winds to make a platform underneath his shoes.
"Great timing guys we really need your help." said Alex.
"Oh, really what is it?" said Michael.
"Michael do you think you can help Cassandra move that boulder" pointed Alex. "And Rebecca; we need you to summon Water, the ground here is hard as rock and since our water pipes are blocked we need you as a substitute while we fix the pipes."
"No problem, we'll get this over with as quick as possible." said Rebecca
Rebecca went in front of the area of hard earth and started to wave a hand, in circles, at the sky. Soon clouds started to shirt closer together creating a small dark cloud. A few tinkles of rain landed on the ground, but soon a short downpour followed. The ground soon became soft, making it easier for the excavators to dig. Michael and Cassandra were doing great at removing the boulders. Cassandra called on the trees to help them move the rock with their roots, while Michael pushed the rock with his hands at a distance.
"Well that's done, thanks for your help guys." said Cassandra.
"No problem" said Michael and Rebecca.
The six friends soon went to work on the excavation for the next moment. It was nearly the afternoon when one of the diggers discovered something.
"I think I struck something!" shouted the digger.
"What is it? Come on let's get it out!" shouted a very excited Seth.
After a few minutes of digging, they revealed a strange platform that had strange runes carved on it. There were six corners of the platform, each corner held a damaged tablet with a cracked crystal in each.
"Wow this is amazing!" said Rebecca.
"I've never seen anything like this." said Sora.
"Hm… that space bending feeling is stronger here, this is the source alright." said Seth.
"Well I don't see anything besides this platform." said Cassandra as she walked up to the middle.
"Cassandra wait! DON'T GO-"warned Alex.
Click, clunk.
Cassandra had accidentally stepped on raised tile which caused mirrors to rise and surround the platform, but left small spacings between each other.
"Cassandra I think you should get back here." said Seth
"Ok"
Click
"Argh, not again!"
Huuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm…
A glow was growing from the base of the 6 corners to the very top. The tablets were glowing as well, but the light was weak and uneven.
"Ok Cassandra, just walk care-"
Click
"SETH!" shouted everyone.
Psooooooooooooooom…
"Aaaaaaaa!" screamed Cassandra as she ducked.
The tablets shot 12 beams of energy; the first six were shot midair at the center of the platform creating a small orb. The other six were shot at the mirrors, which were now spinning at inhumane speed. The beams were rebounded; occasionally hitting each other which strangely changed there appearance from yellow to white to translucent. One by one the beams changed direction to meet the orb which became more and more glass-like.
When the final beam reached the orb; everything stopped, the mirrors started to slow down and recede underground, the corners stopped glowing except the tablets, and in the middle a glass orb was floating in the middle. What was strange about the orb was that it seemed more liquid than solid.
"Cassandra, are you ok?" asked Sora as she ran to her friend's side.
"Yeah I'm ok, man was that some ride. Let's do it again!" said Cassandra.
"No again!" shouted everyone.
Cassandra just sighed as everyone went to inspect the orb.
"What the? Something's inside the orb." said an archeologist.
Inside the orb was a moving black mass, it began to enlarge and as it did it began to become more separate. Soon everyone saw thousand and thousands of symbols, slowly swirling inside the orb. There were a few symbols that they recognized but the rest were too alien and strange to them.
"Wow, look at all of them I wonder what happens if you touched one." said Alex, pointing his finger to a random symbol.
"NO DON'T ALEX!" shouted everyone.
Poke.
The orb rippled like water under Alex's touch; when it stopped the symbol enlarged. The symbol looked like a 4-pointed star with a hole at the center, there was a strange dagger that stabbed at the very center of the star. Under the symbol were some runes; behind it was a map of an unknown place divided by boundaries, labeled with many symbols. (AN: not sure how many ninja symbols are in Naruto's world)
"Hm this is weird; the runes spell out a place that doesn't exist in this world." said Rebecca, after a quick translation.
"Well what does it say?" said Sora.
"The Elemental Countries." said Rebecca.
"What a really strange name, a country devoted to the elements." said Sora.
"Hm… would you look at this map." said Seth, as he touched a red glowing country. "Rebecca, what's the name of this place?"
The country enlarged to show in-depth boundaries of forest, mountains, and villages. One of the villages was bigger than the rest; on it was a strange symbol of a leaf with a swirl on it. Underneath the country was a long row of runes and underneath the symbol were also more runes.
"/sigh\ This is going to give me some time, let's see." studied Rebecca.
A few seconds later…
"Ok the first name is called the Country of Fire and the second name is the Hidden Village of Leaf or K-koo-no-ha." stammered Rebecca as she tried to get the words right.
"A village of Leaf in a country of Fire, that makes no sense. -.-;" said Seth. (AN: which I agree, what's the connection between Leafs and Fires?)
"Hey what's this?" said Rebecca as she brushed off some dirt on the floor. The ground revealed a short sentence of runes that curved before disappearing in the dirt, but these were more complex and confusing.
"Hm… looks like an incantation." said Sora.
"How do you know?" asked Cassandra.
"Look at the position of the runes." pointed Sora. "They go in a certain position; this one here goes in a circular direction judging from the curve it goes in."
"Wow, you definitely know a bit about written text." said Michael.
"Well being a Summoner, we have to read a lot of incantations to be able to obtain our summons." said Sora.
"Well you're not going to be able to read this. These runes are far older than the ones we have, but they have a slight similarity so I might be able to get them translated after noon time." said Rebecca.
"Speaking of noon, it's Lunch! Man am I starved." cheered Seth.
After a quick Lunch… (AN: we have to skip this part if we want to hurry up a bit)
"So how goes the translation?" asked Sora.
"Ugh… I swear this like my Final Rune Exam reincarnated, but 10x eviler." groaned Rebecca.
"-.-; Just make sure you don't accidentally read out the incantation." said Sora.
"I know Sora." answered Rebecca.
A few seconds later…
"YES PRAISE THE ELEMENTS I FINALLY GOT IT TRANSLATED!" shouted Rebecca as she celebrated a bit. "It says;
From this world to another,
Connected under the chain,
Bend the Space around
And open the portal
To bring us together
With our celestial brothers and sisters
Open the Universal Portal!
"NO REBECCA!" shouted Sora.
But too late, a sound or electricity crackled through the air as everyone turned to the direction of the orb. The runes around the center started to glow and the tablets began to power up. The symbols in the orb, that were once floating aimlessly, were sucked into the very middle. The body of the orb seemed to collapse inside as a dark void began to spawn. At that point the damaged tablets shot off beams at the portal, the beams created an aura around the blackness giving the impression of an eclipse. Soon it was over and there was silence.
"Whew at least nothing bad happened." said Alex.
CRAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!
The beams started to waver and the ground shook as the blackness started to spew out of its shell. Soon the beams broke and the portal exploded into the size of a boulder and started to suck the air like a vacuum. It was only luck that everyone managed to escape, everyone but them.
"Rebecca! I told you not to recite the incantation! Now look at what you done!" shouted Sora, as she tried to be heard over tempest.
"I'm sorry! I was just too excited over our achievement." said Rebecca, as she desperately clung on to a secure rock.
"Forget about that, what about us? We can't hold on much longer, the suction is getting stronger!" shouted Seth, as large debris flew up to be quickly consumed by the black hole.
"Cassandra! Can't you call on the trees to secure us with their roots?!" shouted Michael.
"I can't, the trees themselves are having their own problems of staying rooted!" answered Cassandra.
"Damn it!"
For a few seconds, the 6 friends clung on, hoping that the portal would wear off soon. But there luck soon worsened when a terrifying sound was heard.
CACK! RUMBLE, RUMBLE!!!
"Oh no! The rocks-"warned Alex. But before he could finish the rocks they desperately held on, rocket off the ground.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" they all yelled in fear as the Wind screeched through their ears and Darkness fell upon them. In the abyss, all 6 of them disappeared into the unknown, not known what would happen next.
5 Light Years Away From That World…
It was now Lunchtime for everyone in Konoha and that meant that a certain Ramen Stall was expecting someone.
"Oi! 7 Miso Ramen please!" shouted a loud and energetic blonde teen.
"Coming right up, Naruto." answered Ichiraku. (AN: not sure if I spelled his name correctly)
A few minutes late Naruto was served his first bowl of Ramen, but before he could even touch it.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
"What the heck was that?!" shouted Naruto.
Everyone's attention was now focused on the sky as they saw a large orb that looked like water or glass. Even Tsunade was outside, from her paperwork, looking at the strange event. The orb soon disappeared as a black hole opened from the middle. 6 beams of light shot out form the hole as it crashed in the woods in front of the village. With a loud sucking sound, the hole closed leaving the sky as it was.
(AN: the beams colors represent the elements our friends posses so; Water-Blue, Earth with Plant magic-Orange with a hint of Green, Fire-Red, Wind-Purple, Light-Gold, and Dark-Silver)
"What in the name of Hokage was that?!" exclaimed someone.
"And what were those lights that came from it?" said another.
Soon the whole village was murmuring about the whole ordeal most of them believed of an invasion of Konoha.
At the Hokage's Office…
Tsunade had summoned 6 groups of 3 ANBU guards to go and inspect the locations of where the beams had landed and report every detail. If there was any threat they would have to attack.
"Do you understand?" ordered Tsunade.
"Hai, Hokage-sama." responded the ANBU as they disappeared in a puff of smoke.
At the woods (ANBU POV)…
"Team 1, go inspect the location of the blue beam." ordered the captain through their earphone walkie-talkies. "Team 2, inspect the red beam. Team 3, inspect the orange beam. Team 4, inspect the silver beam. Team 5, inspect the gold beam. And my team will inspect the purple beam."
The ANBU went their separate directions unaware of what they'll meet.
In the middle of the woods (OC's POV)…
"Ugh… what a ride I hope I didn't hit my head, all you alright guys?" asked Rebecca as she rubbed eyes from the bright sun. "Guys?"
Rebecca snapped open her eyes and stood up as she inspected her new surrounding. Finding none of her friends she began to panic.
"Oh no, we must have been separated when we got out of the portal! It's my entire fault, I'm so stupid at times like these, Sora warned me to not say the incantation but did I? NO!" shouted Rebecca as her eyes began to water. "Ok just calm down Rebecca; your friends are still here and you'll be able to find them and everything will be all right." said Rebecca as she wiped away here tears. "Ok first things first, what should I do in a new environment? Let's see what did the High Priest say?"
"Whenever you're lost, it's always best to summon your weapon for protection."
"Oh yea." said Rebecca as she raised her hand in a holding position. A soft blue aura began to emit from her hands as she summoned her weapon. Out of nowhere mist, water, and ice swirled into her hands giving form of a mace. In a flash, Rebecca was now holding out her Morning Dew and her shield, Ice's Mirror, which she bought at the excavation site.
"Now what do I have to do next? Hm…"
"Always find a clean source of water, remember Water is the most important key to survival and the body."
"Hm… water, there doesn't seem to be any since these trees indicate that only rainwater is the only source. But I think I can feel a small body of water up ahead." said Rebecca as she started to walk.
But before she could even go one step; someone shouted and it sounded really close, Rebecca turned around and gasped…
