Chapter 2: Prince of Caldia
Naruto woke up feeling dizzy, he rose in aching pain and looked around the room in wonder, he was in the hospital, he then remembered what happened, he thought 'That's right, that strong magic power… I need to get to Caldia to see what's happening in MAR!'
As he tried getting up and out of the hospital bed he heard "Naruto you okay?!" it was Babbo, he looked around before looking on a desk near the bed, Babbo was still tied to the keys of Naruto's house, it seems like the others took his keys out of his pocket and just thought Babbo was an ugly keychain. "Yeah I'm fine but Babbo what was that strong magical power?…"
Babbo thought and said "I know that power Naruto, I know who it belongs to…" Naruto's eyes widened and asked "Who?" Babbo looked at the blonde and said "Remember those stories of the Chess Piece? Diana, Phantom, and the Orb?" Naruto nodded and his eyes were looking to the bouncing keychain "It was theirs… I don't know how but somehow they… Came back to life…"
Naruto's eyes widened as he heard those words "You mean…" but before he could response he heard the door open and Babbo soon stopped bouncing around as he pretend to not be alive. He looked up and saw Tsunade standing there, she smiled and said "So your awake huh brat?!" Naruto then said "Hey Old Hag what happend?! Why am I in the hospital?" he asked pretending not to know. She gave a look at him and said "I was hoping you knew, but from what the others told me, you just started to stop running and you froze in your spot, and while there, they said you where shaking and breathing as if you couldn't breath at all, and then they said you passed out…."
Naruto only gave a confused look before saying "What are you talking about Old Hag?…" she looked at him and her eyes narrowed, just by looking at his face she knew, she knew he was lying…
(Meanwhile)
"Elder! It cant be!" yelled Dorothy in horror as she and the other heads of Caldia were in meeting and the Great Elder had just said it was the power of Diana, Phantom, and the Chess Piece who had returned. An elder woman spoke "Who would have let them return?… Only those of Caldia know how to revive the dead and the only ARM that allows the dead to return to the land of the living was taken years ago. And the only ones out of Caldia are Prince Naruto and…" Dorothy cut in "Talen…" she said in an angry low whisper, the other five elders went hush and spoke to themselves as they remembered the boy.
"It has to be him, he broke a taboo when he opened the Orb's door and stole the Orb. Then he was going to take the ARMs, I, my daughter, and grandson worked hard to get back, thankfully Naruto and Babbo got there in time to make sure he didn't take them all…" she said, the other elders nodded "But what shall we do?…" said an old man, the others nodded before hearing their Queen "Naruto has no choice but to kill Talen, its his job as prince to carry our laws by his hands,……Talen has not only broke one, two, and three Taboo's, but now he broke a fourth one, not only that but he has revived our worlds most dangerous and evilest enemies ever…"
"Now, now sister. Do I go around calling you names… No I don't..." said a familiar voice in the room, Dorothy, and the other elders eyes were wide and looked at the doorway of the meeting room, standing there was Diana who looked the same she did all those years ago. She smirked at them and said "Now what's this, I don't remember our Kingdom ever holding meetings before… Is this something new?" Dorothy stood and yelled out "DIANA!" Diana smiled to her sister and said "Hello again little sister, or should I say big sister now that you've grew so old… The years have not been kind on you…"
Dorothy glared at her sister and yelled out "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY KINGDOM!!" Diana smirked under her mask and said "Your kingdom? Well it doesn't matter to me anymore, I don't want this Kingdom, and what if I don't leave? Are you going to kill me? HA! Sister take a look at yourself, your only a image of what you once were, no longer are you strong and fast, now you are weak and slow, your old sister! You can not kill me…" she took some steps into the room before hearing from the Great Elder "Diana, ex-princess of Caldia, why and how are you alive, who brought you back and why did you return to Caldia?"
Diana smirked and said "I only came by to see my sister, and who brought me back, well… You already know him. Talen, I believe his name was…" Dorothy glared at her sister and thought 'I knew it was him….' Diana smiled under her mask and spoke "Sister… I have heard you once married… but he died, so sad. Then I heard after his death you gave birth to a baby girl, but she died giving birth to her first child, that's so bad, and your grandchild's father died fighting some monster called Kyuubi, now that's just bad luck sister…."
Dorothy eyes widened, how did her sister know this when she was brought back just yesterday, then the name hit her 'Talen…' she then heard her sister say "Naruto… Was that his name? Your little grandsons name is Naruto right?" Dorothy looked up and glared at her sister for saying her grandsons name, she looked at her sister as if her saying her grandsons name was posin, Diana smirked deepened "Such a cute name… I wonder what would happen to him, you know Dorothy, I wonder if he'll join me, I mean after all I and the Chess Piece will have another War Game, its only far and he might want to be on the winning side of the battle…"
Dorothy's eyes widened as she heard what he sister spoke, she growled and yelled out "YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM!! I WILL KILL YOU OVER AND OVER AGAIN IF I HAVE TO!!!" Diana smirked and said "To bad…" and that was it, Dorothy jumped out of her chair and rushed at her sister with great speed, Diana smirked as her sisters fist came close to her face, but there was no punch, Dorothy's eyes widened as she felt someone stop her punch.
She looked up and saw Phantom in front of Diana holding the punch in his own hand. He smirked before hitting her with a punch of his own, sending her flying to the meeting table the elders were sitting at "QUEEN DOROTHY!!!" yelled the elders, Phantom looked at Diana and asked "Had your fun?" Diana nodded before saying "Did the boy get the papers and whereabouts of Naruto?" Phantom nodded. Diana smirked and said "Good, lets leave…" they both turned, and were about to walk out the door, but stopped when they heard guards coming down the hall, and the voice of the Queen "You will not lay one hand on my grandson, and if you think he would betray his home, his honor, his duty as a prince you are wrong, he isnt like you Diana, he wont betray his home… He will never join your hands…" Diana looked back and stared at he sister, she could see her sister's faded pink hair and the wise green eyes that told no lie, she saw the Great Elder and the other elders helping their Queen up.
Diana only smirked to her and said "Then… I will kill him… Or maybe I should give him the mark…" Dorothy's eyes widened as she heard those words come from her sister's mouth. She looked at Diana and Phantom before they both disappeared into thin air. Dorothy fell to her knees and heard the guards say "Queen Dorothy, Great Elder, Elders! Some strange people with ARMs come to the front gate, and attacked! We were able to hold them off but one got into Caldia and took Prince Naruto's files!"
The Great Elder looked to Dorothy and saw the worry look in her eyes, she was thinking 'No… Not again… I will not let another one of my precious people die…. I promised to Kushina, Minato, and my husband that I would not allow another one to die…' she looked up and spoke "I want four of Caldia's best ARM fighters to go to Konoha, find Prince Naruto and return him to Caldia now! I don't care how they do it, I don't care if they have to fight with him to bring him back, I don't care if they have to drag him out of Konoha, I don't care if they expose his secret, as long as he is safe and alive, just bring him back home! Make sure they get there before Diana or the Chess Piece do, even with their ARM's its going to take a while to get the Land of Ninja's with all of them going. So the four should get there before they do. Now!" the guard nodded and rushed off with the others to get the best ARM fighters.
She looked at the others and said "Time is running out, and by the looks of it, I say another War Games will start…."
(Meanwhile)
"I'M TELLING THE TRUTH OLD HAG, I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I FAINTED, MAYBE I HAD SOME EXPIRED MILK OR SOMETHING!" Naruto yelled out as Tsunade put him in a head lock, she glared at the blonde and yelled out "I know your lying Naruto, now tell the truth!!!" Naruto was struggling to get out of the grip Tsunade had on him, he heard a little snickering from Babbo, who was trying not to laugh, Naruto glared at the ARM and wanted to attack him but knew if he did Tsunade might find out.
"I AM TELLING THE TRUTH!!" Naruto yelled out in anger at the old woman who still glared at him. She glared harder before hearing what seemed to be snickering, she looked around before noticing Naruto's ugly keychain, it looked like it was laughing and was holding it in. She let go and Naruto fell to the floor on the ground, face first. She looked hard before seeing the keychain freeze and look at her before it fell forward and pretend to not move.
"Naruto…" Tsunade said in wonder in her voice as she picked up the keychain, she looked at him as he got off the floor and looked at her, his eyes widened as he saw her hold Babbo in front of her face and stare at him "Did this ugly keychain laugh at us?" Babbo then had an anger mark above his head 'Babbo don't you dare!' Naruto thought as he looked at Babbo as he tried to hold back his anger. She then said "Hey why do you have such a ugly keychain?" just then the keychain glowed and Tsuande fell as she held onto it "THAT'S IT!!!" yelled Babbo in anger, he yelled again "AS MUCH AS A GENTLEMEN I AM I WILL SIT HERE AND BE INSULTED BY A OLD WOMAN LIKE YOU!!!"
Tsuande eyes widened as she heard the thing speak to her, Naruto slapped his face and said "Babbo I am going to kill you…" Babbo went on ranting and Tsuande was staring at Babbo wide eyed. As this continued Tsunade then yelled out "WHAT IS THAT THING?!!"
(Meanwhile)
As if by magic four people landed on the Hokage's heads on the mountain, two were men the other two were woman, they all wore long black coats that covered their faces. One man spoke up "Okay we need to find the prince as soon as possible, Kalulu you look for his magic power, you had trained with him many times when he was growing up so you can pin point where he is faster, Timothy you find out anything from the villagers, and Sasha you go find his friends that the Queen told us about, get as much of information as possible, I'll stay here to keep an eye out for the Chess Piece, Diana, and Phantom okay?" the other 3 nodded and rushed off.
The man then said "We must find the prince soon… We don't have much time left…"
(Meanwhile)
"Babbo stop it!!" yelled Naruto as he tried to pull Babbo away from jumping on Tsunade for what she said. Tsunade then said "Naruto… What is that ugly thing?!"
"THAT'S IT LADY!!!" yelled Babbo as he almost got out of Naruto's hold. "Damn it Babbo, knock it off!!" yelled Naruto in anger as he held tighter. Tsunade stopped as she heard the name "Babbo? A-As in the legendry ARM Babbo? The one from the Land of MAR?! That Babbo?!" she asked out as she remembered the battle long ago, she had saw it through the moon when she was still in Konoha as a teenager. She looked at Babbo and remembered that this was the Babbo that had battled with the boy Ginta who saved MAR and the other world. The same one who saved them all.
She then asked in wonder "Naruto why,… Why is Babbo here?! How do you know him?" Naruto stopped and froze in his spot, Babbo had stopped yelling and was quiet, he looked at Naruto and said "You better tell her, besides we both knew you couldn't hide it any longer anyway…" Naruto was surprised at what his friend said but nodded he knew he couldn't hide the fact any longer that he, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze… was really a prince, a wizard really, a prince wizard of the Kingdom of Magic, Caldia within MAR.
He looked at Tsunade before looking down and hearing her say "Tell me what?" Naruto took a breath and said "Something that only the 3rd knew about…" Tsunade was surprised at Naruto's serious voice and saw the look in his eyes, the eyes of responsibility, courage and leadership. As she waited Naruto opened his mouth only to hear "There you are!!" he, Babbo, and Tsunade looked to the open doorway and saw a woman wearing a long black witch coat with purple long hair standing there.
She was about 23 years old and she had red eyes. Naruto blinked in surprise and said "Kalulu what are you doing here?" the woman Kalulu rushed in and closed the door fast, she then said "Naruto-Sama, you are needed back. She has requested that we, the best ARM users come to bring you and Babbo home…." Tsunade asked out "Home, Naruto what is she talking about, Konoha is your home! Who is this woman Naruto?"
Tsunade then heard the woman Kalulu laugh under her breath "This rat hole be his home? I don't think so, he has a far better home away from here." before Tsunade could say anything to make the woman shut up she heard from Naruto "Kalulu hush, you will not talk badly of the home of my father and my birth place…" Tsunade turned to Naruto slowly and saw his eyes were narrowed and sharp meaning he was not kidding at all. Tsunade turned back and saw the woman Kalulu had froze in her spot from the way he talked and looked at her, she sweated before nodding and bowing forward "I-I… I am sorry My Lord, I had forgotten. But I was sent here to bring you back, under My Lady's orders… Its very important…"
Tsunade was confused now, how did Naruto do that, and why was this woman showing so much respect to him, and what orders from who? "Naruto what is she talking about. What is going on here?" Tsunade asked in a way that meant if she didn't get an answer she would find out one way or another. Naruto looked down and was going to say something before someone burst into the room yelling "Lady Tsunade! A strange group of people just broke the gates, our guards tried to stop them but they used strange weapons that were like magic, and when they almost attacked the villagers, another strange group came out using the same type weapons but they are trying to stop the first group!"
Tsunade, Naruto, Babbo, and Kalulu eyes widened at what this ninja said. Naruto turned to Kalulu as she said "They made it here faster then we thought…" she then said to Naruto "Stay here, we can not let anything happen to you or Babbo, let us take care of them…" she then ran out the door and closed it. Naruto clutched his hand before feeling a hand on his shoulder, he turned and saw Tsunade staring at him wanting to know what was going on, Naruto looked down to Babbo who nodded to the blonde…
"Tsuande what I am about to say was supposed to be classified until my 19 birthday, but because of these advents, the promise and secret must be broken and brought to light, only the 3rd Hokage, my mother, and father had known…" Naruto started to say in a leading voice, Tsunade's eyes widened at the tone of her 'little brother' it sounded almost like a royal's voice.
"Years ago when Team MAR had stopped the Chess Piece from taking ours and the other world, young princess Dorothy fell in love, they had gotten married when it was her time to marry so she may rule her land as Queen, she gave birth to a baby girl, but her husband died a few months before her daughters birth, he died of a deadly sickness. Dorothy treated her daughter like a treasure, but the daughter didn't want to be Queen, or a Princess, she wanted to be a fighter, a believer, a traveler, when she had heard the story of her mother and Team MAR, she knew that the ARM's that her aunt had taken where still out of their home, so taking this as her opportunity she asked to leave Caldia and look for the still missing ARM's, the council wanted the ARM's back so anyone with a unpure heart will never use their weapons, they granted her wish. The daughter swore never to tell of her real home unless it becomes necessary to tell, while traveling, the daughter found Konoha and grew integrated with its life, there she told the Hokage of her mission and reason of being here, he allowed her to stay and even told her to keep a low profile and become a ninja. She did. Here she grew to be strong, look for ARM's, have friends and enemies, and fall in love, she fell in love with a young ninja that loved her back. On a mission she told him after he and she were attack by strange men with weapons. He didn't care of her being royalty but loved her for being her. As they grew older they married but know one knew for it was a surprise for Konoha….But when Kyuubi attacked that night, their baby that was growing in the Princess was ready to be born… And well... You know the rest of that story Tsuande…"
Tsuande eyes widened at this tale, yes she knew what happened and she knew of the baby in front of her "You mean your…" Naruto nodded and said "Yes, after Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze, my father and mother, died my grandmother came and got me, I grew in both Konoha and Caldia, when I turned six I asked if I can stay in Konoha to become ninja's like my mother and father and take on the mission my grandmother and mother took before me, but I was told and swore never to tell of what I am, what I have in my blood. Queen Dorothy's and Kushina's blood runs through me, I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Prince and Heir to the throne of Caldia, the Kingdom of Magic…."
