A surprising rescue
I own nothing save for original content, which isn't much
Naruto inspected his line of Dragon Ultra Guard recruits. After he delayed them bonding with there new partners, he finally was going to get them there dragons.
"Alright people, this time I swear you'll get your dragons. Last time was a complete failure. Kuroi, are you sure nothing's going to interrupt this?" Naruto said, then asked his adviser
"Made sure and had to make sure people would keep there mouths temporarily shut. So ya." Kuroi said, not even paying attention really to Naruto
"Next time look at me when you say something so important." Naruto sternly said
"Sorry boss." Kuroi replied, still not looking at him
"I'll deal with you later." Naruto scowled and led the kids to a large open area
"Draco?" Naruto asked
"Right here." The dragon said behind him, giving Naruto a start
"Don't ever do that again." Naruto returned
"All the dragon recruits are assembled, and I got a variety of species as suggested." Draco replied
"I didn't suggest, I ordered." Naruto shot back
"Whats the difference?" Draco asked
"This just isn't my day. Someone just volunteer to go first already." Naruto said in desperation
"I'll do it sir." the smallest boy said
He walked up to a large dragon twice the size of a T rex. The kid couldn't really tell what it looked like. Though there were patches of sickly green and gray scales, most of the dragon was covered in thick layers of bones in a kind of armor. It had no wings, instead massive arms with large 4 foot claws in its fingers. It stepped up to the kid cautiously, smelling him with his large snout, then let him put his hand on.
"Congrats, your dragon is a Zombie dragon. And before you ask, it is not undead, we only call it that cause of the bones it collects on itself." Naruto explained
"Why is it covered in bones?" the kid name Gatoa asked
"You see, it has very soft scales, so it collects dragon bones as a coat of armor. However no matter how old it gets it continues to grow, so it constantly has to find bones of dragons to fit on itself. Also when get to a certain age they grow terrestrial, but the flip side is they are very fast, can climb and jump vast distances, and even have thumbs." Naruto explained
"So he's old then?" Gatoa asked, to which the dragon took offense
"He's only 107, they can live to be over 700." Naruto replied
"Wow." he said to himself, and led his dragon away
The only problem was the dragon had a itch in its nose, and its talons were far too large to itch it. Its sneezed, and sent a blast of fire out with it. The fire hit a crate of explosive tag's, and started a chain reaction, injuring many, including 6 of the honor guard recruits. Two girls were the only ones other than the dragons train to be unharmed out of the recruits.
"This just isn't my day." Naruto muttered and several medics dragged the injured away
"Its going to take weeks for most of your recruits to recover." Kuroi added
"I can see that!" Naruto shot back
"Sir, are we going to get our dragons?" One of two girls asked
"You two are twins right?" Naruto asked
"Yes." They replied
"Names?" Naruto asked
"I'm Sorina." The one of the left said
"And I'm Tina." the other chipped in
"Cute names." Naruto replied
"Why does everyone say that!?" Sorina angerly shouted
"Sis, please don't rip sensei's head off, like the last one." Tina said
"Last one?" Naruto said going pale
"Ya, he said she was the cute one and she ripped off his head in rage." Tina said
"Can you please get your dragon, I need to go write my will." Naruto said in fear
"I say we get a dragon we can share." Tina offered
"Why?" Sorina asked
"Cause, its easier to take care of one than two." Tina argued
"True, hey there's a two headed one, perfect!" Sorina pointed
The dragon she spoke of was what is called a Two Horned Rhinocerous Ogre dragon, or what troops like to call them to bicker team. Its even larger than Ryu, with two necks and two heads, one with long straight pair of horns and another with shorter, curved horns. The color is crimson, yellow and black, and had rows of spikes going down its back, and small ones on the necks. Along the sides of its tail were massive wedge shaped spikes, being biggest at the tail, and getting smaller till a massive cresent axe shaped club tipped the tail. Before the twins got to it, the two heads were already fighting with themselves.
"Stop it both of you and listen!" The twins said in unison
The two heads stopped and looked at them. Each head went to one of them that they liked, and let them on there necks. It took two people, but now the dragon acted as a single being. Naruto was relieved, and tommorow, they'd start flying training, in the most dangerous place he can think of.
Southern most tip of Fire nation
On a grassy cliff, the three dragons and there riders looked over to a small, but strangely unique set of islands. There were tall spires of rock coming out of the ocean, rocks that looked just strange, and the islands themselves. The kids had training bows, small recurve bows with training arrows, simple arrows with a simple thin iron arrowhead. It doesn't do much damage or doesn't have to much range, but it still can kill if placed in the right spot.
"What's on those islands?" Gatoa asked
"A people called the Utherians. Nasty bunch, there main weapons are spears, throwing spears to be exact. They build the points out of a metal called oil steel. They light it, not even water can put it out. Try not to get hit. This will build up teamwork among you and your dragon." Naruto said, and Ryu jumped off the cliff to gain momentum
At the last second Ryu flapped his massive wings and rocketed away, breaking the sound barrier. Gatoa's dragon followed behind. He backed up half a mile, then barreled towards the cliff. Right at the edge, he jumped, and landed on the closest rocky outcrop. Then be began jumping around them like a Shinobi, and using his arms to swing around on random trees and ruins with his long arms and claws.
"Okay big guy, lets go." Sorana said
"Come on, lets go." Tina chipped in
The large dragon used its wing to hover off the ground, then followed behind them. The Utherians got wind of them intruding, and mobilized. Grabbing as many flaming spears as they can carry, they jumped after the dragons.
"Incoming!" Sorana yelled as spears flew past her head
That ticked off her head, and charged up not fire, but electricity through its horns, and then shot out several lightning bolts in a shotgun pattern. Every one of them missed. The warriors swarmed and the other head took a crack at them, only sending a napalm like fire at them. Still the warriors used there impressive manoverability and terrain to there advantage and skillfully manuvored not to get hit.
"These guys seem to know how to deal with dragons!" Gatoa yelled as his dragon delt with them by swinging onto them and crushing them
"Me and Ryu always used this place for practice!" Naruto yelled back
The two headed dragon didn't pay attention to its flying and crashed into a pillar, and sent it and its partners into the ocean. Ryu picked up the two and flew back to safe ground, and Gatoa's dragon followed. When they were on safe ground, Naruto pressed the girls chests to get them to cough up the water, while Ryu and the Zombie Dragon were massaging the necks of the dragon to make it cough up the water.
"You got to pay attention out there." Naruto said
"We were." The twins shot back
"Oh really, then why did your dragon crash into that rock?" Naruto asked
"You guys were too busy on the enemies, you didn't pay attention to your surroundings." Gatoa chipped in
"Exactly Gatoa. You all not only must focus on battles, but what is around him other than the battle. Dragons aren't invincible. They can easily get knocked out of the sky. So you have to be the dragons eyes sometimes." Naruto said
"We will try next time." Tina said
"Whatever." Sorina said
"It will not be whatever when you are dead." Naruto shot at her and then flew away on Ryu, with Gatoa behind him
"Lets go sis." Tina said glumly and got on her neck
"We'll show him. They just wait." Sorina said to her sister
Few days later
"Kuroi, both you and me know about those reports, but in that area of earth country theres no one living there." Naruto argued with Kuroi in his office
"Look at these images, these could only have been done by people." Kuroi shot back, putting some disturbing images in front of him
"Fine, I'll go with a few men to check it out. But if this is a wild goose chase, its your head." Naruto said to him sternly as he left, and men followed him out
In earth country
"This is the place, so where is what Kuroi said it would?" Naruto said to himself
"I don't kow sir, but something's not right about this." The captian of the unit replied
The captain was right. A arrow hit him in the eye, and he dropped. The number of troops was about 25. In a matter of seconds, only 5 of them were left, including Naruto. There opponents finally did reveal themselves, Amazons. Though the size, color and race of them were not the same, they all had similar equipment. They wore fur bikini's, and many had crude blasted wood and horn bows, with stone tipped arrows.
"You make a move, we kill you. Drop your weapons and armor, now." One of them ordered
"Sir, should we do it?" One soldier asked
"I don't know, the last time I did that for a woman it didn't end well." Naruto replied
"Do it or we will force you too." the same woman ordered
"Great, a dominatrix. Okay boys, do what she says." Naruto said to his troops
They did have clothes under the armor, but Naruto sorta knew something was weird so he wore regular soldier armor. Without any warning, they forced them to march, to where they did not know.
Back at base several hours later
"I told him it was something, now he's missing." Kuroi said to Draco
"Well then why did you tell him?" Draco asked
"Cause I thought he would be able to do it." Kuroi said
Little did they know the twins were listening. This was there time to shine, and they wanted to prove themselves. There dragon was a titan on the battle field if used right, and now was a good test run, and save there Sensai. They took there bows, got on some leather armor, and loaded as many training arrows as they could with exploding tags. After that they got on there dragon, and they were off, and they used the two dragons sense of smell to guide them.
4 hours later, the amazon city
Amazon City, a massive city bigger than any of the hidden villages or any other city. Its walls were hundreds of stories high and 250 feet thick, capped with massive towers and thousands of archers. They were adorned with golden decals and had a molten magma moat around it. At the top of a massive pyramid like temple, in front of a massive demon like statue, the remaining soldiers and Naruto were surrounded by Amazons in a cage.
"I do not like this at all." Naruto said
"Well, at least they gave us some new clothes." one soldier said
"These are sacrifice garments idiot." Another said
"He's right, they'll sacrifice us for some reason, they always have a reason." Naruto agreed
"Our gods gave us the power to make civilization without men, and in order to continue to have that power, you will be sacraficed to appease them." The head priestess said
"What did I tell you, they have a reason." Naruto said to his men
Noise began to generate form the wall. Then a stray lightning bolt struck near them. On the wall, the twin's dragon was doing something both its heads agreed on, causing mass destruction. One head took one side, and blasted with a napalm like fire stream, and the other shot lightning out its mouth in a shotgun shell pattern. The girls fired exploding tag's at the nearest towers, and many Amazon warriors were crushed under ton's of stone.
"Street side, now!" Tina yelled, and the dragon jumped to the city street
"Were outnumbered hundred to one!" Sorina yelled
"Okay boys, beeline for the temple. Kill all in your path!" Tina ordered the dragon, and it obeyed gladly
Masses of Amazon's rushed to the scene. They all formed a phalanx with spears and tower shields, massive shields that cover most of there bodies. The fire head charged its naplam like breath and fired it at the massive, but only pushed back the large group of warriors.
"So much for that plan." Tina said
"Lets try this." Sorina said, and fired a arrow at them
The arrow lodged itself into one of the shields, and blew up not only that amazon, but a few around it. This gave the fire head the opening it needed, and burned through the phalanx easily now. However this brought in the Amazon's attack dogs. The lightning head used its head as a sledge hammer, and crushed them with ease. They slowly advanced through the masses, killing all in there path with lightning, fire, crushing physical blows and exploding arrows. Finally they made it to the temple.
"You two and your dragon will not stop this ritual from undertaking." The head priestess warned
"You and what army? Oh wait I remember, we killed your army!" Sorina said
"I have one more trick up my sleeve. Statue combination and resurrection Jutsu!" The priestess said
Around the temple the statues were breaking apart and forming something new near the alter. It grew bigger and bigger, and more grotesque with each second. Finally, it created a 6 armed monster, with a deformed, grotesque head, and a blackish brown color.
"This is so not good." Tina muttered
"We can take him." Sorina said
The two beasts locked grapples, and tried to get the other off balance. The Lightning head began to bash against it, while the fire head revealed another ability it had. It constricted the arm on its side that was pushing against him, and crushed it into sand. In a matter of minutes, the two heads crushed it into dust.
"What now!?" Sorina yelled
In seconds, the statue monster reformed itself, and picked up the dragon over its head. With a simple throw, it flung the large dragon over the edge of the temple. However the Amazon's noticed until to late that the twin's dragon grabbed the cage in its hind talons, and then flew off with it.
"So long suckers!" Sorina taunted as they flew out of attack range
"Was that really nessacary?" Tina asked
"Yes. Yes it was." Sorina replied
The next day; Noon
"Ladies and Gentlemen. I want to say this about these two recruits." Naruto started as speech in front of the entire army
"These two against all odds, with minimal training, survived a ordeal most of us have not seen. For that I give them personally the platnium medal of honor, and a major thank you for saving my and the other soldiers lives." Naruto said and pinned the medels on there shirts
Ryu came over to the two headed dragon, and the two dragons bowed in respect of each other. Ryu ordered to bring in there own sort of medal of honor. Two riding helms, custom fit helms so the riders can control them better, were placed on there respective heads.
"Though this threat is not eliminated, I can safely gareentee they will not be coming around to terrorize the elemental nations for anytime soon." Naruto said, and hoping he was right
MHG: How much you want to bet he's wrong? I'm not a betting man so I'm not going to. Next time, the first real NARUHINA chapter of this story. There will be love, threats, and victory next time.
