Chapter 2: Awakening

Konohagakure - Training Ground 7

*BRRRRRING!* The alarm had sounded and just like that the test was over, soon Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki (who was tied to a stump) stood before their sensei Kakashi Hatake.

"My my listen to your little stomachs growl! Any way I have an announcement the three of you don't have to worry about being sent back to the academy." The three students looked up amazed; they had passed and would now become real ninjas. Naruto spoke up excited to have finally done it.

"This Rocks! It means all three of us…" Kakashi smiled

"That's right the three of you are hopeless any more training would be useless. None of you will ever be Shinobi!!!" The three young Ninjas looked horrified, they had… failed?

"SIEGE!" Siege Brea looked up from his new manga to his class mate who had yelled across the plaza. They had arrived only about ten minutes ago and the teachers were talking to the museum tour guides to set up how they were going to split up the tour so siege had taken the opportunity to retrieve his book from his back pack and continued reading where he had left off before. His class mate Maria walked up to him and huffed when she saw what he was reading.

"Honestly Siege manga again? You know that if they catch you you'll get in trouble right? You weren't supposed to bring things like that on the field trip." Siege shrugged while putting his book back into his back pack.

"It's alright I just finished it, I just got it yesterday and I wanted to finish it." Siege and Maria walked over to a bench and sat down where all around other students from not just their own but many other school were waiting for things to start, it was almost a circus as the museum staff tried to get everything in order for the big opening of the museum's new exhibit.

"So what is it about?" Maria asked. Siege looked to her as they waited.

"Oh, it's the first book but it looks pretty interesting, it's about like how these ninjas live in a village where a long time ago some big fox demon thing attacked the village and they put it into some kid named Naruto. The book starts when Naruto and some other kids are graduating an academy where they learned to be ninja and now they're taking a kind of test to official become ninja's." Maria looked thoughtful

"So is it good?"

"Well so far yah." Across the plaza the teachers came out and began rounding up the students and placing them in groups. Maria and Siege stood up and walked over to the group of students.

"So are you excited?" Maria asked as they waited to be sorted into groups. "About what it's not that exciting, I'm just glad were away from school." Maria huffed and looked away as Siege smiled. Very soon they were in their groups and the museum officials had started leading them inside as news crews, and the other guests made their way inside the museum to begin the day's activities.

LA Museum - Underground Maintenance Corridors

Jacob Freedmen who was patrolling the corridors and loading docks was a twenty four year old security guard who was soon going to become a father, when his wife had told him she was pregnant he went out looking for a better paying job when his friend told him about this opening, the job paid more that his old one, and with a baby on the way and a new job he felt that for the first time in his life he had everything he wanted and it would only get better. Then about two weeks ago he started feeling strange, then things started happening, he would wake up in the middle of the night feeling like his whole body was on fire, until three days ago as he was heading to work something happened that changed his life forever, his hand had literally burst into flames as he was driving, he swerved to avoid a crash and safely stopped his car at the side of the road, but he looked at his hand in disbelief that was now completely safe but knowing without a doubt that what had just happened was not a trick played by his mind but had really happened. That day he went online and even if he did not think it would lead anywhere googled the words spontaneous human combustion.

What he found was not what he was expecting, word after word, sentence after sentence he had discovered that what was happening to him. HME, Human Mitochondria Evolution a group that he had heard about in passing, had all the answers. If what he had read about was true then that meant that he was changing, the mitochondria inside his body was waking up and soon he would begin to change more and more as he gained strange abilities from the cells within his own body. Knowing without a doubt in his mind that this was what was happening to him he emailed the group and was soon detailing his experiences with someone from the organization online, this Mr. Carradine he talked with had told him that they were willing to help him get through this and give him answers to his question to help him adjust to his new abilities as the manifested themselves. Jacob had agreed and a meeting was set up at an HME office here in LA for the next week. Jacob hadn't even told his wife yet, but had finally convinced himself to tell her today, after all they were starting a new life together and soon after this everything would finally be right.

Keeping those thoughts to himself Jacob continued his patrol of the lower areas of the building, suddenly a noise alerted him to the underground loading dock, it should have been closed down. Making his was down the corridor he put his hand on his gun and stepped out in to the large room, where there across the room stood two men in work clothes stood by a truck unloading crates.

"Hey you two! What are you doing here this area is off limits!" Jacob approached the two men hand on his gun. The man with his back turned to the guard looked up at his partner and nodded, his partner nodded back and the first man ducked down quickly to the side. The man facing the guard quickly pulled up a silenced hand gun.

"WHA…!" Jacob had no chance the round hit him dead in the chest. With one shot Jacob lay on the floor dead. The man with the gun turned to his partner.

"Get the explosives to the exit site I'll hide the body." The man holstered his gun and went to hide the body as his partner took the explosives out of the crates and took them to where they would be used to blow the floor to get into the service tunnel of the building and out to a parking garage where their getaway vehicles were.

LA Museum - Main Entrance

It happed very quickly one minute he was fine and looking round at all the excitement the next he felt as if his insides had been set on fire by an invisible force. The heat was very intense but just as it appeared it quickly dissipated until only a dull ache remained in his chest. Siege slowed in his place in the line of student and was soon at the end. The feeling would not go away and his senses had dulled, all around him the noise died out and his vision was blurring but a quick look still showed that all around him things were going on as normal. Then he felt a pulse pass through his body the heat was picking up again and before it could die down again another wave of heat followed a second pulse. Spotting a door nearby Siege left his group and ducked inside, it was a stair well, but as he entered a third wave of heat hit him and he collapsed on to the railing of the stairs. Bringing his hand up to his face Siege stared at it intently.

'What?! What's going on?' Siege thought as the blurriness of his vision faded and he found himself able to see once again. Looking down to the basement floor Siege felt himself unable to stop his sudden movement, down there somewhere something was calling to him something that he could not say no to. Not sure why he felt this way or what was happening to him Siege walked down the stairs every step taking him closer to where something in his body wanted him to go… no… it felt different now… his body wasn't forcing him… he was being called… this feeling was a call, a plea for help… a dying cry for help. As Siege neared the bottom a sudden thought hit him.

'Could this be… mitochondria?' Siege thought about it and it was the only conclusion he could come to. His mothers and his aunt were all able to use it, heck his mother Melissa was pretty much mitochondria itself. Sure they had told him how it was like to use their power, and how it felt but he just assumed that he would probably never awaken his own power, but as he stepped out into the hall way Siege realized how dumb that had been, people all around the world were 'awakening to their power' and here he was, the son to the two most powerful mitochondria users in the world and he thought he would never develop his own power.

At the end of a dead end hallway Siege encountered a single door walking up to it he slowly opened the door and silently stepped in. It was a small storage room, brooms, mops and other cleaning equipment was scared around the room, but it was the corner in the back of the room that drew his attention. Siege walked to the end of the room and looked around a shelf. It was the dead body of a security guard. The heat that he had been feeling earlier had died down to a dull warmth that was now spread through his whole body. Siege stepped up to the body and kneeled down. Why had he found his way down here? Siege looked at the body and saw that the man had been shot in the chest; it also looked as if whoever had done in had taken the man's radio and weapon. Siege stood and backed up but then noticed something on the man's ankle. Siege moved the man's pant leg and saw a small holster with a small revolver still inside.

'They must have not found this.' Siege looked at the gun before deciding to pocket it, a while back when he was a MIST headquarters downtown Aya had let him shoot a few rounds of her gun while she held his hands and helped him aim. It had cool and before they had done so she had told him all about gun safety. Siege once again stood and slid the small weapon into his pocket. 'After all' he thought to himself. 'Whoever did this might still be around'. Siege stood and backed away again.

'Whatever's going on is serious, I need to call the police and tell them something's going on.' Siege gave the dead mean a last look still not understanding why he had found his way down here and what was going on inside of him. Deciding to think on it later Siege left the room and walked down the hall intent on calling the police.

LA Museum – Security Room 7th floor

The room had been cast into darkness with the only light coming from a wall of computer screens that showed the ground level floor that was packed with people there for the opening ceremony for the day's events. In front of all the monitors stood a man in black military style clothing armed with a silenced submachine gun and a pistol. To one side of the room in a corner slumped on the floor lay the dead bodies of the original occupants of the room.

*Beeb* *Beeb*. The man in the room moved his hand to his ear, his eyes still scanning the screens as a voice came in over the com.

"Security room have you located the target?" The man grew frustrated as he scanned the screens while occasionally looking to a photograph of the kid he had received to locate the target.

"Negative, but we have a problem I've already located his class but the target is not among them." Still frustrated the man continued scanning every camera on the ground floor searching for the blond haired kid.

"…Keep searching we have to find him quick before we can act find him quick, in the mean time I'll get some of our men to search the bathrooms."

"Yes sir of course, but what about everything else? Are we on schedule once we locate the target?"

"Just about, our guys have already brought up the heavy arms to the top levels and have situated themselves by all the exits, the guys downstairs still need to get the explosives ready to blow a hole into the exit tunnel but once we have the kid we can go ahead and begins operations. In the mean time find that kid."

"Yes sir" The com clicked off and the man in the room continued to scan for the kid, once they found him they would grab him then unleash a shit storm with all the firepower that they brought along with them to cover their escape while the police took ages to discover the real target, and by that time they would all be on a plane headed to Mexico where they would live like kings. The man smirked as he thought of that and continued searching the screens of the crowd down below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LA Museum - Underground Maintenance Corridors

Siege silently walked down the hallway staying alert to any noise around him. As he neared another corridor a door around the corner opened. Siege stopped and hugged the wall as he inched forward closer to the noise. Two men were moving away from him towards the back of the hallway, he overheard them talking.

"Did you locate the rock?" one man said to the other.

"Yea they have it in a glass case inside a secured room, we got into the room so once we find the kid we can set off the alarm and set the plan in motion, they'll never even know we came here for the kid." The men were almost to the door, Siege moved his head and saw them, they were armed, heavily armed, assault rifles and grenades from what he could see.

"What are you going to do with the rock?"

"Oh that thing? Well the boss said to ditch the thing so we're just going to throw it in a trashcan, they'll never find it and think that's what we're here for."

"Heh well just call the boss and tell him the explosives are in place and ready, now we just need the kid and were millions richer."

" Hell yea man after this we can go and..." The men stepped through the door and left the hallway.

'What the hell? They want a kid?' Siege thought. Still he had confirmed that these men were dangerous and most likely there were many more in the building.

'Whatever's going it's big... maybe I should call mom... damn I'm in trouble and I want to call my mommy that's embarrassing... but MIST does have bigger guns and these guys look like they came down here to start a war.' Moving forward Siege spotted a Sign on the wall detailing the major places on each floor, on which he spotted a security room on the seventh level.

"Bingo" Siege said and moved back to the stairwell he came from and looked up. "Well better get a move on and tell security something big is happening." With that Siege started up the stairs heading to the seventh floor's security room.

Washington, D.C. – NCIS Headquarters – One Day Earlier

Almost a week ago an arms warehouse was raided by an unknown group of men who killed the marine guards present and stole numerous weapons and explosive munitions. Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his team consisting of Special Agents Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo, Timothy McGee, and Mossad Liaison Officer Ziva David had been on the case since it happened but so far they had little leads to go on, whoever had pulled this had deep inside information and were for now ghosts, having appeared and disappeared just as quickly. They had left virtually zero clues at the crime scene to which they could launch a proper investigation. However downstairs in the forensic lab the NCIS Forensic Specialist Abby Sciuto had just made a major breakthrough in the case. Having found it Abby Emailed Agent McGee up stairs and soon the entire team was heading down stairs to see what she had found.

"What do you have Abby?" Agent Gibbs said as he and the team walked into the forensic lab. Abby turned around and smiled.

"Your first real clue to solve the case Gibbs." She said while Gibbs looked to the other agents who had so far taken the flak for having not produced any leads to the case so far.

"Let's see it Abby." Gibbs said turning back to her. Abby turned back to her computer and brought up a map of the area of the attack as well as video of several security camera footage.

"Okay we know that the killers approached the base along this road in an unmarked black van without license plates right." She said as she highlighted a road that ran by the base on her computer screen. "So I managed to get a hold of several security videos from all sorts of businesses along this route until I found the van." She said pointing to a screen where they could see the black van driving down the road. "And this is when they got sloppy and made their biggest mistake ever". She said as they saw a video of the van pull into a dark alley near a burger place.

"They stopped for greasy burgers?" Tony asked. Gibbs turned and gave a look to Tony.

"Sorry boss." Tony quickly replied.

"No Tony" Abby started up again as she zoomed in on the ally. "They stopped to eat burgers and something else…" She said as the team watched the video. On the video is showed the men in the ally one of which went to the front of the van and kneeled down.

"They removed the plates." Gibbs said.

"That's right, we have their plate number." Abby said. "But that's not all, we can't see their faces because they never face the camera for a good enough identification but they did leave evidence." She said as she zoomed in on a can of soda that one man was drinking, who after he was done with it left it on the ally floor, along with the man's prints on the can.

"Prints… Alright Tony, Ziva get down to that ally and gather any evidence there, McGee run the plates."

"On it boss." Tony said as the team left to do their job.

"Good work Abby put a Caf-Pow on my tab." Gibbs said as he headed up stairs.

"Thank you Gibbs!" she shouted as he left.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington, D.C. – NCIS Headquarters – One Day Earlier

An hour later the team had collected all the evidence and it was not looking good. The director of NCIS Jenny Shepard came down and addressed Gibb's team.

"What do you have Jethro? The people upstairs want to know who took their weapons and their scrambling on the hill to make sure it stays under the radar." Jenny said as she came up to the teams work area.

"Well director thanks to Abby we found one of their guys prints and ran them." Gibbs looked to McGee who nodded and put the picture of a Marine up on the computer monitor.

"Jack Hanson, a Marine who served in Iraq for two years." Gibbs responded. Jenny stared at the man on the screen before turning to Gibbs.

"Do we know where he is?" Gibbs pulled up the man's service record.

"Yes according to this he's dead, died last year during a mission."

"Dead? Was there a body?" Jenny asked.

"No, reportedly died of an IED, apparently large enough to vaporize the remains." Gibbs told.

"So obviously he faked his death… What do you have on the plates?" Gibbs once again nodded to McGee who brought up the cars records.

"McGee ran the plates, the vehicle is registered to a rental company nearby, I had Tony and Ziva check it out." Ziva stood and walked over as McGee once again changed the screen.

"The Car was rented to a man named Mark Rayan." Ziva said as she handed the director the original rental agreement. Tony stood and held up security video from the rental place.

"Got the security video from the place but the guy had a cap on and didn't look to the camera so we still don't have a description." Tony said. McGee turned to the director.

"Yah and the name Mark Rayan was fake so we still haven't found their true iden…"

*BEEB*

"Hold on..." McGee started typing on his computer quickly. "I was running a search program in case they used the name again and I just got hit." Everyone crowded around the desk as McGee typed furiously on the keyboard. "I got it; someone booked a flight to Los Angeles using that name yesterday… they departed sometime last night though." Jenny turned to Gibbs.

"Alright Gibbs you and your team are heading there now, the secretary of the navy is giving us any and all support we need, get to the airport, a plane will be ready by the time you arrive." With that Jenny turned and headed up to MTAC to make some calls. Gibbs turned to his team as he headed upstairs.

"Pack your stuff we're heading to LA." The rest of the team immediately started to move. Gibbs left and Ziva turned to Tony.

"You look excited." Tony looked up.

"Of course I am, I mean come on its LA, Hollywood, entertainment capital of the world, it's going to be great." Ziva shook her head.

"Tony were going there to solve a crime not see the sights." Ziva said.

"She's right Tony." McGee said. Tony turned to his fellow agents.

"Sure but it'll go like it always does, well get there find a clue track down these idiots and get our weapons back and once we do that we get a free trip to LA, I mean come on, you have to think positive, what's the worst that could happen?" The other members just gave each other a look before continuing getting ready. Later that day the NCIS team was on the way to Los Angeles, the city of Angels…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LA Museum – 7th Floor

Siege opened the door cautiously and steeped out. Seeing the door to the security room down the hall Siege rushed over, as he made his way there he looked around but so no one else there.

'They must all be downstairs for the event.' He mused to himself as he reached the door. He quickly turned the handle and stepped into the room looking for the first security guard so he could tell them what he had seen… That was a mistake. At the other end of the room a man turned away from the computer screens. Siege noticed he had the same clothes as the two other men in the basement. The man quickly took a look at the photo he had of the kid they needed to grab.

"What the hell?!" The man shouted, as he dropped the picture. 'What is he doing here?' he thought before noticing where the kid was looking. Siege had looked to the side and saw the dead bodies of the security guards then turned to what the man had dropped and saw a picture of himself.

'Shit!' Siege thought as he instantly realized in how much trouble he was in 'They didn't want some other kid! They wanted me!'

"HEY! KID DON'T MOVE!" The man shouted stepping towards Siege. Siege however acted first and pulled out the small revolver he had taken from the security guard downstairs. Seeing this, the former soldier turned mercenary pulled out his own gun. Time slowed down…

*boom* *boom* Two shots rang out, the soldier trained to aim for center mass hit Siege in the chest, Siege never having been trained and already falling back due to the round striking him the chest fired high and hit the man in the neck.

The world stopped for Siege in that moment…then as he lay on the floor it seemed to speed up again, what was at first a warm feeling in his chest seamed to pick up heat till it reached a boiling hot pain, but even as Siege clung to life as he griped his chest in agony over the pain he could feel something else… something beside the pain of his wound. The room was heating up fast. Across the room the other man desperately tried to operate his com finally able to turn to his boss's frequency and try to call for help, but all that he could get out were the strangled moans and coughs as blood ran like a faucet out of his neck.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LA Museum – 4th Floor

Marcus York or "Boss" as many of his men had come to call him was getting nervous, all around him his men were planting explosives and setting up RPG and other types of missile launchers ready for when the real "Show" started, but so far things weren't going well. They had still not found the kid and soon the people would start the tours and come up to the upper floors. Suddenly his radio cracked to life and he recognized the frequency to the one used for the security room. However all he hears was strange noises and muffled sounds. He tried calling to the soldier stationed their but received no answer.

"Damn something's going on." Marcus looked to one of his soldiers. "Hey call up the guys on the top floor and have them check out the security room, I can't get the guy stationed up there on the com."

"Yes Sir!" said the soldier who reached for his own com to call the guys closest to the room.

'Damn if it isn't one thing it's another.' Thought Marcus as he glanced at the ground floor over the railing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LA Museum – Security Room 7th floor

[Feel free to play your favorite rock song for this scene.]

The heat was reaching a fever pitch and a bright light erupted from Siege's chest, his body was glowing a bright yellow. He stood, head looking down… the wound on his chest rapidly healing till all that was left was a hole in his shirt and a bloody mess drenching it. Down the hall men raced to the security room automatic weapons at the ready and desperately trying to get through to the man in the room. They came to the door and yanked it open and rushed in, Siege lifted his head a bright greenish blue light in his eyes.

*BOOOOM!!*

Floors bellow Marcus and the entire crowd of people all turned their heads upward as a fiery explosion tore through the top level. Glass and metal rained down on the crowed as pandemonium erupted down below. Marcus looked up in horror as the kid they had been searching for stood on the damaged balcony with glowing eyes and an aura of light around him, and in his hands wielding a machine gun and shotgun, weapons he had taken off his own men…

"SHIT! Everyone get to the top level fast! We have the kid!" But just as quickly the plan had already failed its fate and that of lives of his men sealed with that order. Siege, no longer even in total control of his body, leaped one level down to where some of the soldiers were. In the blink of an eye the mitochondria within him pumped his body full of adrenalin allowing him too quickly open fire on the first two soldiers. A spray of gun fire to the face took them down; quickly turning Siege blasted another one who had come around the corner behind him in the face with the shotgun.

Chaos erupted downstairs the men who once had orders to seal the doors and take everyone as hostages left their posts and head up the building as quickly as possible, children and adults ran out of the building following the first explosion and the eruption of gun fire up above.

From all around soldiers opened fire on Siege who deftly dodged and leaped floor to floor around the atrium putting soldiers down with pinpoint accuracy and deadliness. Not even bothering to reload Siege simply took up the weapons of the fallen. On the lower floors John the man who had helped prep the escape tunnel ran to where they had stashed the RPG's. Picking one up he turned to fire… to late Siege was quicker and had already fired a round from a newly acquired handgun hitting him dead on in the head. The RPG left the launcher and streaked across the building's atrium and impacted a stash of C4 on the other side.

The explosion erupted out of the building, and now full blown panic was abound in the streets as everyone had only the thought 'terrorism' in their minds. Police and News vans were already in route to the scene.

'What is this!?' Marcus thought as the kid moved with lightning precision, often killing his men before they knew he had moved behind him. "Fuck this shit!" Marcus yelled. No amount of money was worth brining in the kid alive. Turning around the M203 grenade launcher on his rifle and aimed at the kid.

The action all around him was almost nonexistent to Siege, he was not himself, his body was reacting forcing him to move, and every time he did he would dodge a bullet or explosive. His body was urging, pleading with him… so he gave in and gave control over to his body. Soon he was moving and acting at very high speed. Men all around him eager to kill him fell one after another in their futile attempts to stop him. Then his body stopped and turned to a man aiming another weapon at him, Siege was deftly aware that his weapons had run out of ammo and there were no other guns laying nearby.

The kid turned to him and dropped his weapons, Marcus smirked it was over. Pulling the trigger the grenade left the barrel barely two inches before Siege brought up his hand towards the man.

There was no explosion; rather it was as if the air itself had exploded, Marcus, his grenade, glass, and the entire side of the building seamed to suddenly break away fiercely from the building. Where there once was a wall and part of a building was now a gaping hole in the side of the structure. Lowering his hand the floor gave way beneath Siege as he plummeted to the ground floor and landed heavily among the bodies of those soldiers who he had killed only moments before. Slowly he regained control of his own body, but just as quickly his body erupted in flames expanding out ward in a large explosion that decimated the ground floor of the building sending another wave of panic through the crowd outside.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MIST Headquarters – Aya Brea's Office

Aya and Melissa were talking thinking about what to do about their son's upcoming birthday when they both felt it. They rushed out of the room and to the large windows in the building were a small group of people were starting to gather. There in the distance was a large fire ball erupting out of the museum down town… the museum where Siege was right now! Quickly turning they bolted down stairs to vehicle intent on getting there as fast as possible. The face on Aya was one of concern and fear, however Melissa had smile, her son had finally awakened to his birthright…

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unknown Location

Inside a dark office a computer screen showed the news footage coming from downtown LA. The plan had failed utterly; however the older man sitting there watching smirked, their assumptions had been correct, this child was greater than his mother… now they would stop at nothing to get him...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NAVY Chartered Flight On Board Private Plane

The NCIS team was getting ready for landing as the plane reached the skies over Los Angeles. Tony had been looking out the window when he started saying something about the Hollywood sign to his fellow agents. Agent Gibbs didn't bother to shut him up, they would be landing soon and he had an investigation to start up on one of the greatest crimes committed on the military on U.S. soil. Then the plane rocked as a great noise was heard outside of the plane. Everyone was quickly looking out of the windows and quickly spotted the fire ball erupting out of the one of the buildings. Tony turned to Gibbs.

"You don't think that's our missing ordinance do you boss?" Tony asked while still looking out the window. Gibbs turned back to look outside… they were to late the terrorists had struck…
