Hello Its time for chapter 2 of the darkness within. As Maruko goes into the tomb of Drakath he discovers all is not as it seems…
(I know it was called the staff of inversion and supreme arcane staff but I wanted to change it because swords are better than staffs)
Maruko pov
Huh. This tomb is kind of dull. You would think that there would be a trap or alarm or something to keep you on your guard but nope nothing, zilch, zero. It was boring until I got to the coffin where his sword, armor, and wings. I grabbed his sword. "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!"
"what the hell?" I said as the alarm went off. Dang. anyway I ran in a random direction and found myself on a balcony. Shit. I reached for my pouch of portal dust, pulled out a handful of the stuff and through it into the air forming a portal and leapt through it coming out at the entrance to Shadowfall. Dang it. That's why I hate portal powder, you never know where your going to end up. Anyway I looked around because I have never been here before and I should blend in well because of my jet black skin so no one should notice me running around in a dark arts scholar suit that I stole from the genin academies' locker rooms for school plays. I always found it strange that they bought it from lightguard keep which isn't supposed to keep evil things because paladins would go out of their way to destroy it. But that's beside the point, the point was that I could wander anywhere I wanted and not get caught so I decided to take a look around. I entered through the dragons mouth and took a right and found the throne room. I started to go for it but I heard someone talking.
"what do you mean he's not ready to join us? He killed Drakath, raided his tomb, stole his sword and you say he's not ready?"
"he's leaning toward good. A more desirable apprentice would be Gaara of the desert."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN GAARA OF THE DESERT! THAT WEAKLING IS NO MATCH COMPARED TO HIM!"
"yes but Gaaras' spirit yearns for bloodlust, to watch his enemies scream out in pain as they are being crushed to oblivion, therefore he would be a better apprentice for you to take on.''
"hmmm. I guess your right but how will we get to him when he has that gourd of sand on his back?"
"I've already figured that out. Our little spy inside the school can capture him quickly and efficiently."
"But what about the other one? The one who posseses the thirteen blades of chaos?"
What? Their talking about me?
"yes he could have been your apprentice of chaos like you wanted if he had heard Discordia's tune"
Why would he want me as his apprentice?
"Gaara of the desert… hm the Akatsuki see him as a prize to resurrect Drakath"
"Naruto Uzumaki as well"
"yes but why would they want to resurrect Drakath?"
"I don't know but if we give Gaara the power of chaos the Akatsuki wont be able to capture him without killing him and they need him alive to resurrect Drakath as well as Sepulture and his daughter Gravelyn."
"why Sepulture and Gravelyn?"
" Because they need Sepulture and Gravelyns' power to hold off Drakath"
Ok its official, I have to protect emo red head from the Akatsuki and from these freaks, even though having to fight Gaara to the death would be nice I highly doubt they would believe me if I told them he was hypnotized into killing everyone. I took out my wish stone. The one thing I protected with my life. The one thing I was left with when my parents were killed by j6, even though he says he doesn't remember killing them, I'll still destroy him.
Rusuko pov
I wonder where Maruko went. Me, him, and Runicho were supposed to be on a mission right now and he went off somewhere. I looked around and then POP! There Maruko was looking like he had seen a ghost
"we need to protect Gaara" he said breathlessly.
"why would we need to protect him?" Runicho asked.
"because the Akatsuki need him to resurrect Drakath" he said.
I had the feeling he wasn't being entirely truthful. "just the Akatsuki?" I asked questionably.
"no some chaos wielders want to give him the power of chaos so he will work for them" he said.
"what do you mean chaos wielders?" Runicho questioned.
"people who bend chaos to destroy ancient powerful things like magic." Maruko said.
"you mean like Ledgermayne tried to do before you defeated him and took the supreme arcane sword?" Rusuko asked.
"yeah except they try to destroy everything that they can."
Maruko pov
Uggh why do they keep questioning me why don't they understand that we need to stop these guys before they resurrect Drakath or before Gaara gains the power of chaos.
"look guys we need to find out what these guys are to and stop them." I said impatiently
"your right… Where did you find these guys again?" Rusuko asked. His skin beginning to glow when he sees a fight coming.
"Shadowfall" I said.
"its time we left then" Runicho said drawing his dragon blade of Nulgath. How did he carry that huge sword without tiring?
I pulled out my portal powder again and threw it into the air and it formed a portal again. This time I stuck my head through to see where it lead.
"good it leads to Shadowfall" I said.
"lets go and wreak some havoc!" Rusuko said enthusiastically.
We leapt through the portal and landed on the other side at Shadowfalls' gloomy entrance.
"ok lets do this" I said a little nervously because honestly I knew we didn't stand a chance and would probably die.
We ran through the halls of the ruined fortress until we saw the chaos wielders. One had black armor, wicked red eyes that glowed, and a humongous sword that radiated chaotic energy. And the other one had chaotic armor, large dark wings. And two swords that glowed crimson as if they had a thirst for blood. We didn't stand a chance, but we had to try. But then we noticed the little egg laying next to the shattered throne. What was that egg for? Could it be a draconian egg? Or a dragon egg? Or even possibly a chickencow egg? No it cant be a chickencow egg because it isn't spotted, that was a stupid thought.
"here's the plan guys" I whispered lowly "Rusuko you will distract them while me and Runicho will strike them from behind with our tag team combo."
"sounds like a plan to me" Runicho said. "but what will we do if the plan fails?"
"easy we run through my portal powder." I said, worried that we would fail.
"animate objects" I whispered and the bones began moving to form a bone terror, mine ,unlike the one in Battleunder, was much bigger and used the bones of a dracolich, which the bones were much stronger than regular bones.
"well, well, well, look who's found us." the one with the dual swords said drawing them.
"indeed it looks like they've also noticed our dracolich egg, which we shall infect with chaotic energies and use to capture Gaara and destroy the entire world." the one with the red eyes said calmly.
"ATTACK!" Rusuko said without hesitation and he charged them while Rusuko ran around behind them to use the tag team combo attack. Unfortunately they were too quick and knocked Rusuko against a wall and almost hit Runicho but thankfully my bone terror stopped it. We went on the defense and kept trying to deflect their attacks.
"their too fast we have to get out of here!" Runicho shouted while dodging the giant chaotic sword Red eye carried.
"I here you!" I shouted back. "DISPEL!" the bone terror turned back into a pile of bones. I pulled out my portal powder and jumped through closely followed by Rusuko and Runicho. We came out at the front of the academy and at who other then Gaaras' feet. Fuck. We stood up.
"Gaara, there are some people who want to kill you and Naruto to revive Drakath." I said still out of breath.
"so are you trying to warn me or trick me?" he said.
"ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID? WHY ELSE WOULD WE COME THROUGH A PORTAL AFTER NEARLY GETTING OUR ASSES KICKED, JUST TO PLAY A JOKE ON YOU?" I yelled. This guy was fucking pissing me off.
"maybe" Gaara said calmly.
"that does it" I said. "ANIMATE EARTH!" I shouted while Rusuko used a teleportation spell to teleport me and Gaara to the training field. Gaara was being imprisoned in rock.
"is this the best you can do?" Gaara said. The rock began to turn into sand until he was standing in a patch of sand.
"sand coffin" he said.
"I'm not falling for that again!" I yelled and jumped into a tree. If there's one thing about this guy he sure is strong, to control sand like that and not tire at all. I tripped, no not tripped, I was caught in some sand trap that Gaara had apparently set up during the fight. Damn. I drew Drakath sword and cut through the sand like a hot knife through butter.
"you cannot leave until you tell me what these two want with me" said Gaara.
"look they want you to work for them to destroy all of lore using the power of chaos" I admitted. God why did I do that, now hell go to them for sure.
"what the fuck!" I shouted in surprise when I was caught inside a wooden box thing. Where was I? I began feeling around until I found some hatches, but they were on the outside of the box thing.
"Gaara what do you think your doing" came a voice that was vaguely familiar. Who was it?
"Kankuro do not interfere with this." Gaara said with a hint of anger in his voice. So that's who it was, the guy who wears makeup. Well I should be getting out of here.
"teleportation jutsu" I whispered quietly. Then I was in my dorm again.
" ABOUT TIME YOU GOT HERE!" yelled Naruto angrily.
Yeah im ending the chapter here because its gotten to long.
