Just felt the urge to get a second chapter up before i returned to my normal work sceduale. Special thanks to Chronostorm (nice name), the evil sound ninja, and Opkillas for leaving reviews. in proof reading this chapter (which im not good at sorry) i noticed that it reads like a comic book in a way, that will probly stop once people and scenes start converging but if you like it i might continue. Anyway on with the show.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Starcraft, if i did naruto would have been smarter and raynor would have been an even bigger smart ass.

Shikamaru smirked; he was almost caught up to their quarry now and Temari was only a second behind them. He armed the vulture's grenade launcher and started lining up his shot. He didn't need to be accurate just close enough to knock out the spy's engine and take her alive. Suddenly his target hit her breaks causing Shikamaru to speed past her before he could react. The spy then made a hard right and sped back up. Shikamaru sighed as he slowed his bike to turn around, "Troublesome."

Temari was still far enough back to react to the course change and picked up the chase almost immediately. The target tried the same trick again but temari was no fool and stayed right with her. Arming her launcher temari didn't bother to aim and just fired off a round. The grenade went off ahead of the target and was easily dodged. She tried again, directly ahead of the spy causing her to swerve sharply. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw shikamaru pull up along side of her. She fired again, closer but still a miss.

Shikamaru was lining up his shot when he spotted some thing off in the distance.

"Temari," he shouted to her, "We're heading towards a cliff!"

His partner gave him a startled look. Quickly taking his aim he fired his shot. Hit. Smoke started pouring out of the bike in front of them, part of the engine then exploded throwing the rider from the bike and the bike into the air.

The damaged bike and rider slid to a halt about 5 meters from the cliff edge. The two chasers pull up a few meters away and drew the side arms. The dominion agent slowly pulled her self up and ran over to the edge. Temari dismounted her bike as she leveled her side arm at the cornered spy.

"Are you going come quietly or will we have to shot you a couple of times?" demanded an irritated Temrai, gun at the ready.

The spy slowly reached up and took off her helmet. A long platinum blonde pony tail cascaded down from the helmet and stopped at about her hips, she turned around slowly turning a set of aqua colored eyes to her would be captors. She closed her eyes and smiled sweetly at them before speaking, "Well I admit you two are good, not many can keep up with me on a vulture."

A sudden click broke her out of her endearment act and she opened her eyes in surprise.

"Hello again Ino." Drawled a lazy but annoyed sounding voice. Shikamaru had just cocked his gun and leveled it at her. Ino stared at him a moment in disbelief but quickly went back into her act to stall for some more time.

"Well Shika what a surprise to see you here!" she chirped happily. "Last time I saw you, you . . ."

"You shot me" he cut her off, "twice."

Temari looked between the two people in confusion, "You know this girl?"

His eyes flick to his partner for a moment but returned to his target, "Unfortunately yes."

Not wanting to be left out Ino chimed back in, "OH I can't believe you're still mad about that that was so long…" Shikamaru fired a shot that whizzed by her right ear. "ago…" she hesitated a little, "I guess you're still mad then."

Temari stepped forward a little gun still level, "Ok so at this point I think you better just answer with a nod or else he just might shoot you for real. Are you going to come with us quietly?"

Ino grimaced she needed more time for the dropship to show up. Thinking quick she nodded her head yes. Temari began slowly walking forward to arrest her when a red light started beeping on Ino's wrist. "About time." Ino whispered to herself and smiled. A Gust of wind erupted from the canyon behind her as a large dropship suddenly rose into view.

"Oops sorry kids, looks like my ride is here. Perhaps we can play again some other time." Ino laughed as she jumped into the open hatch on the dropship.

Shikamaru and Temari opened fire on the dropship as it begun to lift away, but the bullets of their pistols bounced harmlessly off the ships armor.

"Damn it!" Temari cursed as the ship got out of range then out of site. She walked over to her bike and started it up, "Well let's go tell the commander that the bitch got away."

Shikamaru let out a frustrated sigh as he started his vulture, "Troublesome blond, second time she's pulled crap like that, should have shot her when I had the chance." He turned his bike around and glanced at his partner who was giving him a devious look.

"Somethin' on your mind?" he asked her.

"Nothing at all," She grin at him "Shika." He rolled his eyes at her and only muttered "troublesome" before speeding of back to the base with a now snickering Temari behind him.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Thu-whack! Sasuke grumbled as he awoke from his nap in hyperspace. He had set the timer to go off a few minutes before exiting the jump. He blinked his eyes a few times to get the crust off of them and then took a few deep breaths to finish waking up. With a flash of light he was back in normal space. He reset his controls for normal operations and opened a radio channel, "This is Bishop one, All units report in."

"Bishop Three status normal."

"Bishop Seven reporting."

"This is Bishop Ten, Aoba's radio went out in the jump but we're both here."

"Bishop Five reporting."

"Bishop Four here, you can't get rid of me that easily Darling."

Sasuke rolled his eyes, "Karin knock it off. Once everyone else comes out we'll head to Orbital Station 3 at quarter throttle and dock till the 131st makes it out of Atmo." A few more ships flashed into existence and checked in. Once all 12 wraiths had appeared, they made their way to the station.

She looked out from her hiding place atop the building. "Well at least the view is nice." She said softly to no one in particular. Her gazed traveled down towards the horizon. The Sun was setting, pretty orange and pink hews seemed to flow out from the sun and color the sides of the clouds like water off a ship's bow. She let out a long almost sad sigh; she would have to start soon.

She cursed her current life, the life of a Ghost. She was almost 13 when her abilities manifested. Normally the Dominion would come collect you at that point, her cousin had been taken after his ability appeared, but Hinata was lucky to be found by better people first. She smiled. A Lieutenant Yuuhi had met with them; she worked for a man named Raynor. She explained what would happen in the dominion training program and how it would be different if she took hinata with her. Father had been unhappy about it but relented seeing it as the best choose, he didn't want her memory to be erased. Kurenai-sensei was a tough but good teacher. Hinata learned to control her abilities and even unlock a few others. Farsight. That was her 'psionic gift' as they called it. She could see for great distances and even through solid objects.

The sun had finished setting. Hinata rolled forward into a kneeling position and closed her eyes to focus. She opened her eyes again and gazed into the complex below her. Most of the staff was gone and only a few token guards were on duty so getting in unnoticed should be easy. Pulling down her goggles, she took a deep breath and got moving. Getting off the air vent cover was easy enough. She attached two auto-ascender units to the side of the duct and lowered herself in.

A ceiling vent gently swung open and magically closed again unnoticed by the guard dozing down the hall. A few moments later a door at the end of the hall seemed to open and close by itself. At the end of another hall an elevator button suddenly lit up, when the elevator arrive another button mark B5 lit up on its own and the door closed. After checking for any kind of hidden cameras Hinata uncloaked herself. "Better save energy where I can." She again said to no one. As the lift reached its floor she recloaked and tucked into the corner. A curious guard stuck his head in to investigate but seeing nothing he moved back to his post content to believe one of techs had sent it here as a joke, all the while unaware Hinata had slipped by him. Finally she found the room she was looking for. There were computers all over the room and she was unsure which one to use. Picking one at random she decloaked and walked towards it. Inspecting it for a minute she found what looked like an access port. Slipping the bag off her back, she dug through it till she found what she was looking for, she pulled out the hacking device and plugged it in. Now a computer expert she was not, but the odd contraption let her bypass the firewalls and security protocols so she could search relatively unhindered. She started to think out load while she searched the database, "photon cannon . . . plasma field . . . plasma launcher . . . Psi amplifier. The commander will want to see that. Ah Psi Emitter, enhanced. That's what he wanted."

While the file downloaded, she checked the building again to see if anyone was patrolling. Two men with pistols were coming down the hall checking each room. She quickly turned the computer screen off and activated her cloak. She pressed herself against the wall as the two men entered the room. Nether of the guards had their side arms out but she still had her rifle pointed at them, if she was discovered they'd have to die. She had no wish for it to come to that. The men lingered for a few minutes looking over the room then left as casually as they came. Using her farsight she watched the two men continue down the hall before decloaking and letting out a long sigh of relief. She went back to the computer and checked its progress. When the files finished she unplugged the device and return the computer to the way it had been and proceeded to slip out the same way she had come in.

"Why do we have to buckle in anyway," Naruto whined as he strapped into his harness, "shouldn't the barracks lifting off be a smooth ride."

"Now Naruto," spoke a man in an officer uniform with a patch over one eye and silver colored hair, "we have to follow the safety protocols. All things have to be secured, both objects and people, to keep us from getting hurt if the barrack hits turbulence or one of the anti-gravity generators fails."

"OH yeah, Cause if a grav field goes out this seat belt is going to save me from the building falling through the atmosphere and crashing into the ground." Kiba let the sarcasm drip off his words. Short laughs and bemused smirks came from the other people in the room bringing a grin to kiba's face.

The silver haired captain could only shake his head at the antics of his subordinates, "Just get strapped in everyone."

Buckles clicked and straps were tightened as the people finish securing themselves to their seats for the ride up.

A loud feminine voice came over the intercom, "Attention all units stand by for lift off and planetary departure."

There was a sudden lurch as the gravity field kicked in and the building rose slightly. A low mechanical whine was heard as the buildings support struts retracted. Another sudden lurch indicated the building had begun its accent causing Chouji to pull out an empty chip bag and vomit into it. Watching Chouji vomit caused Tenten to start feeling quezzy and reach for the airsick bag next to her. Sakura could only look on in pity at her two friends wreching their guts into the respective bags. A few others in the room found the two's predicament amusing but refrained from laughing.

The ride to orbit was a short one, only lasting about fifteen to twenty minutes, and the intercom announce they had now achieve orbit. "Ok guys you can let yourselves out of those seats now." instructed Kakashi. Naruto was the first out of his restraints, but found himself floating in mid air instead of standing on the floor. Lee kicked off his seat and drifted over to his helplessly inverted friend, "It would seem they have not yet activated the artificial gravity fields in the floor platting Naruto."

The blond marine turned to his friend with a 'No Duh' look on his face and said "Oh really I hadn't noticed Lee."

However his annoyed sarcasm was short lived as he was rapidly tackled from behind and propelled with her towards one of the windows by Tenten. She braced herself inside the cubby the full size window formed trapping naruto between them. Naruto cast a questioning look over his shoulder at the girl only to see her staring past him at the planet they had just left. "Chill out Naruto besides how often do you get to see a view like this?" she said with a calm voice. Naruto took a deep breath to calm himself and turn back to the window; it was in fact a remarkable view. The way the clouds seemed to hang over the planet almost as if frozen in mid-swirl was magical looking in a way. The blue waters contrasting with the land masses and the clouds over top made it almost look like a piece of art. He glanced into the reflection on the window; Tenten had been replaced by the hovering forms of Kiba and Sakura.

"Wow it sure is beautiful." The pink haired medic said in a hushed voice. "Yeah you'd never image it looked like this when your planet side." Kiba added. Naruto nodded before silently slipping out from in front of them and drifting towards the door. As he entered the hall he heard a squealing sound followed by "Look its Sasuke's Squadron!" Naruto smirked and shook his head before continuing on towards the mess hall, for some reason being weightless was making him hungry.

Mmmmm hinata in a ghost outfit (shakes head to clear mind) on that note, Please: Read, Enjoy and Review.
