Chapter 4: Through The Looking Glass

New York City - Suspected Location of ANMC Activity

The assignment had started slow at first, Siege and Christie arrived in New York and contacted the detectives in charge of the investigation into the recent disappearances. So far there had been no solid leads any of the disappearances and no suspects. Following this Christie decided that their next course of action would be to search the areas of the disappearances and try to find any clues that could suggest NMC activity as opposed to a human culprit. Compiling the data they had on the attacks the police in the area had concluded that all the disappearances were taking place within an underdeveloped area of the city spotted with older and often abandoned buildings.

A thorough search of the area followed and they discovered things that hinted at a non human perpetrator. Police were looking for a human attacker; Siege and Christie on the other hand were searching for other signs. They found them in an alley, scratch marks on the ground, claw marks on the walls. Christie and Siege followed them to an abandoned warehouse. It was getting dark but whatever this mitochondria creature was it seemed as though it only came out at night, and judging by the size of some of the markings they discovered it was pretty big.

Christie and Siege drove down the alley and stopped the car under a flickering light near one of the buildings. Ahead of them was the building they suspected the creature to be in.

"Alright were here, let's get ready and go in." Christie told Siege as she unbuckled her seat belt.

"Right." Siege said following after her to the rear of the car. Christie opened the trunk and keyed in the password on the safe box they had in the back. It opened to reveal heavily customized weapons. Siege removed his black trench coat and Christie her black leather jacket. They took out their body armor and got their weapons out. Siege pulled out a large magnum revolver and strapped it to his thigh. Siege also slung a P90 to his side and for his main weapon once again took up the gunblade. Christie opted for a .45 SOCOM MK23 as her side arm, she also took a P90 and went with an M4 as her main weapon equipped with the JAVALIN attachment. The JAVALIN was a highly miniaturized version of the satellite in orbit, using much the same technology to fire a laser for three seconds capable of burning through organic matter relatively quickly.

"Ready?" Christie asked as she collected the ammo for her weapons. Siege nodded, putting the last few shotgun shells into the gunblade. Christie shut the back and the two made their way down the alley towards the building they believed housed the creature.

Village Hidden in the Leaves

Waters Edge was a small but successful fishing village directly south of Konoha. Recently however they had been plagued by a group of bandits that had positioned themselves on the outskirts of the village occasionally making raids on the caravans that frequented the small village. The bandits had used the woods outside the village to escape and hide any regular attempts to find and stop them. So soon the village leaders sent for a mission to get rid of the bandits. The messengers soon arrived in the hidden leaf village and a relatively new but experienced group of Genin received the mission. The ninja squad received their mission and headed out on their first C rank Mission. The squad was lead by an experienced Jonin and current matriarch of the Uchiha clan Mikoto Uchiha this team would also mark her last assignment as a Konoha kunoichi. She planned to retire to look over her three year old son Itachi. Under her were two male Genin and a talented young kunoichi named Kurenai Yuhi. This mission would mark one of the most important events in young Kurenai's life as well as that of the entire elemental countries.

New York City – Abandoned Warehouse

They had moved slowly through the building checking it room by room inside they had defiantly found signs of something other than human occupying the building, but strangely neither Christie nor Siege could feel any mitochondria activity around to suggest an NMC was there, but still both were positive something was here. Christie and Siege moved into position near the last door left unchecked on an upper level in the building.

"Can you feel it?" Christie whispered as she felt something with her mitochondria abilities just on the other side of the door. Siege closed his eyes and concentrated.

"Yes there seems to be something there, but it's unlike any ANMC I've ever felt before."

"Could it be something Neo Ark cooked up?"

"Not sure, my mom told me they didn't come across any new data to suggest they had engineered any new ANMC types."

"…Alright let's go in just remember to be careful."

"Got it." Siege said. The two opened the door and went inside. It was dark; Siege activated the mitochondria in his eyes granting him night vision. Christie did the same having been taught how to do it properly by Siege. Their eyes scanned the room… they looked up and saw it.

"Holy…" Siege began.

"…SHIT!" Christie said as the creature turned a multitude of eyes toward them. Siege and Christie opened fire on the creature. The rounds however did not seem to do much damage. Letting out a screech the creature dropped down to the ground and rushed them. Siege and Christie dove to opposite sides of the room dodging the creatures' dash at them. The creature slammed into the wall behind them. Siege and Christie powered up their "Energy Shot" ability to increase the damage of their guns and once more fired into the creature. This time the rounds began to puncture to hard hide of it and start to inflict more damage.

Screaming in rage the creature once again attempts a charge, only this time it crashed out the windows on the side of the room and down into the alleyways of the city.

"Come on we can't let it get away!" Christie said as she jumped after it. Siege jumped down on to a fire escape and ran alongside it as Christie shot at the creature while running down the alley. Siege powered up his mitochondria abilities, took the gunblade from behind him and jumped down landing right on top of it. Calling up on his power he charged up the blade with the Apobiosis power sending waves of lightning down the blade. The creature tore into a more open alleyway. Christie raced in after them. Siege brought up the gunblade, Christie opened fire on them and unknown to them a pedestrian walking down the street some distance away snapped a picture.

Siege brought down the gunblade, it pierced the outer shell the creature had and sent thousands of currents of electricity down into the creature. Christie aimed carefully and activated the JAVILIN cutting deep gashes into it. Now heavily injured the creature roared and threw Siege off its back.

"God damn that hurt." Siege said getting up from getting thrown into a nearby trash bin. Christie ran up to Siege.

"You ok?" she asked keeping her weapon pointed at the creature.

"Yah I'm fine… What the hell is doing?" he asked. The thing had moved into a dead end seemingly trapping itself.

"No idea, but it looks like this is it." Christie replied, but just as quickly as she did the area in front of the creature started to warp. Light began to emanate from the distortion in the air and soon it ruptured into some sort of 'hole'.

"What the Hell!?" Siege exclaimed seeing this.

"What is this!?" Christie said as well. Quickly the creature started to move into the distortion and as far as they could see, it was disappearing into whatever that thing was.

"It's getting away!" Siege said running after it.

"Wait!" Christie shouted. "Damn it!" she said and ran after him. The creature slipped through the portal just as Siege caught up to it. Stepping up to it Siege touched the disturbance. All of a sudden images started to flash in his mind.

A scene of men and women dressed in white royal regalia with wings of pure white feathers billowing behind them as they moved towards a large white castle.

Another scene showing a great battle taking place in skies where gleaming silver and gold shields and swords met the dark weapons of the opposing army.

Then a great explosion devastating the battle field dropping both friend and foe alike.

Finally a last scene depicted a group of the white winged figures standing in circle as a white orb of white light gathered more and more energy until the last scene completely turned white.

Siege snapped out of it looking haggard and breathing hard, whatever had just happened had left him shaking but now more than ever knew what he had to do. Christie ran up to him, the portal still open.

"What did you do?" she asked. Siege turned to her.

"I'm going in." He said seriously.

"What?! You don't know what's in there!" Siege stepped forward loading the gunblade.

"I know that whatever this thing is we've never run across anything like it before, and whatever this thing is it is very dangerous. Stay if you want I'm going in after it." Siege ran forward and jumped into the portal disappearing from view before Christie could stop him.

"DAMN IT!" She yelled and followed after him. The portal stood still for a few seconds then seemed to dim and disappear.

Waters Edge Village

Mikoto's genin team arrived in the village close to sunset. They had traveled all day so Mikoto ordered her genin to go to do a quick patrol of the outskirts of the Village while she spoke to the Village leaders about the mission. They had been pleased that an Uchiha had been sent and began describing what the mission entailed as well as what information they had on the bandits. Mikoto was jus leaving the meeting when her squad appeared before her.

"No activity in the forest Mikoto sensei." Reported Kurenai.

"Alright that's good. The leaders arranged for us to stay at a local inn so well spend the night here in the village and head out at first light to hunt down the bandits in the forest." Giving her orders the team headed into the village to spend the night. Above them dark clouds started to gather…

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

????

The world around them exploded in light as they transverse from the darkness of the New York alleys to this new world filled with light. They were for what they could figure simply flying through this new expanse. Their new surroundings looked like they were inside a tunnel made of light. The walls pulsed and they zoomed through it going faster and faster. Ahead of her Christie made out the shape of Siege who was still behind the creature they had followed in to this place. Very quickly they saw a light at the end of the tunnel and soon crossed it to the other edge.

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

Bandit Camp - Outside Waters Edge Village

The light from their eyes faded and the world around them came back to reality. Siege and Christie picked themselves up and looked around. They had appeared on what looked like a sort hill overlooking a forest. It was there at the top of the hill that they noticed what looked like a small settlement, there were tents set up as well as several camp fires dotting the camp.

"Where the hell are we?" Christie asked in awe at what the scene before her. Siege turned around and saw Siege on his hands and knees with a subtle glow emanating from his body. She rushed over and helped him up. "What's wrong? Are you ok?" She said helping him.

"Yah… I'm good… feel kind of weird though." He told her. He stood up and looked around the area.

"I don't recognize any of this but I think it's safe to say were not in New York anymore." Christie told him. Siege looked around; he closed his eyes and breathed calmly. All around him he could feel that they were no longer home, that they had gone somewhere completely different. Siege took a few steps forward and looked at his hand it was still glowing faintly. He powered up an energy ball attack and sent it hurling at a tree in the distance. It looked sort of like it always did when he created them… then if hit and destroyed a large part of the ground creating a large crater and completely vaporized the tree.

"Holy shit! What did you do?" Christie exclaimed.

"Not sure… I feel different, whatever this is it's not just my mitochondria anymore, it's like something else is there too. Something's boosting my power or something." A distant roar made Christie and Siege turn to the camp in the distance. Siege focused the mitochondria in his eyes and soon he could see farther away than normally. People were running around in a panic as the creature that they had been fighting tore into the camp.

"Shit! That thing is over there! Come on we have to hurry." Siege said. Christie nodded and the two activated their mitochondria as they broke into a run, the mitochondria keeping them running without getting tired. Switching to night vision Siege and Christie slowed as they reached the camp. They were too late to help anyone, by the looks of it whoever these people had been they had tried to fight back with swords and arrows. The creature was standing in the middle of the camp seemingly tending to the wounds it had received earlier. Christie turned to Siege and made gesture with her head. Siege nodded. They separated and moved around to its sides getting ready to ambush it. Siege and Christie powered up their weapons once again with energy shot and Siege added a little more to his arsenal and called up several energy balls around him.

The creature stopped noticing something wrong in the air… to late lights streaked out of the edge of the woods surrounding the camp and impacted on its side blowing large holes in its tough outer skin. Quickly after that a loud bursts of gun fire erupted from two sides, very quickly the creature was on its last breaths it had been taken by surprise once again, but it would not fail completely by sheer force of will it called up on its remaining strength and let loose a call, a call for help, to avenge it's death and see to it that its mission was complete.

Siege and Christie covered their ears as the thing yelled, but just as quickly as it started it stopped. They looked around, the wind was picking up, and the clear night sky was quickly being covered up by dark ominous clouds. A lightning bolt flashed in the sky and chills ran down Siege's spine. Siege closed his eyes and concentrated on that power he had felt when they had arrived. Finding it he embraced it once more and the glow came back, then he could feel it.

"Christie… there's more of them coming." He told with certainty.

"What? Are you sure?" She asked him.

"Yes I can feel them. More of them but they don't feel as strong as this one, they must be smaller." He said still concentrating the new power he had.

"Where are they?" She asked.

"That way." He said pointing towards the woods. "Not close by, but further along that way." He said.

"Alright let's go." She said. They quickly moved into the forest once again sprinting with their power activated to arrive faster. Siege looked at Christie.

"Christie." He said. She turned to him. "Don't worry we'll get home." He said.

"How can you be sure?" She said. Siege took a moment feeling this new power inside of him, flowing thought his body.

"Trust me." He said. She nodded and the two continued toward where they felt the enemy.

Water's Edge Village

One moment there had been peace and quiet as the people of the village closed shops and headed on home for the night. A small isolated village like this truly became peaceful at night. Then screams were heard and things started going to hell. Fires broke out and people began running out in the streets. Chaos had taken over the small village of Water's Edge.

"Are the bandits attacking?" Kurenai said as she, her teammates and her sensei ran out of the inn intent on finding what the disturbance was.

"Maybe, the three of you get ready to fight." She ordered them as they took to the roofs jumping towards what seemed to be the center of the chaos. Once there they quickly discovered that it was not the bandits that had caused this but something else. Small creatures almost spider like had somehow appeared within the village and had started killing and destroying anything that was nearby.

"What the hell are these things?" said one of Kurenai's teammates upon setting eyes on them.

"Not sure I've never seen anything like these things." Mikoto said readying her katana.

"Can they be summons?" Kurenai asked.

"Never seen any like this." Mikoto told her. Suddenly the creatures had noticed some of them up on the roof and leaped up there. Mikoto quickly shot out her hand, a salvo of shuriken striking out and killing a small group of them.

"Whatever they are there a threat to this village, stick together and attack them!" she said. At once the three genin took to the streets striking down at the things that rushed them trying to take them down, kunai and shuriken flew toward the oncoming waves bringing down the soft targets. Their sensei meanwhile had activated her Sharingan and was blazing through the things faster than they could see.

"Man this isn't so hard, whoever sent these guys needs to get some better little ugly spider thingies." One of Kurenai's teammates said as the three genin moved carefully with their backs to each other covering all angles.

"Yah I know what you mean it's almost as if they…" *SPLAT!* Kurenai and her other teammate turned around to see what had happened. From their teammates back they saw a large black blade coming out drenched in his blood. In front of their teammate they saw a large humanoid creature heavily muscled and strangely armored, its mouth seemed to be filled with jagged serrated teeth, it was bald and a dull grayish black color, with its skin almost ripping in places exposing the red flesh underneath. They opened their mouths in horror unable to get anything out as the creature flung off the dead body of their friend.

"NOOOOOOO!" Kurenai's other teammate screamed. He tried to reach for an explosive tag but the demon they were fighting was faster. It reached out and picked him up by the head. Kurenai rushed in to try to help but was backhanded into a nearby house. The monster grinned a sadistic smile and crushed his head stopping his feeble attempts at getting loose. Mikoto body flickered into the street across from the monster, her red eye's spinning as she saw the dead bodies of her students and Kurenai's unconscious form lying across the street. She wasted no time. Quickly breathing in she launched a great fire ball at the thing and hit it. The monster however shrugged off the attack and launched itself at her with its large blade.

Kurenai slowly picked herself up off the floor. All around her the smaller creatures were moving in once more. She reached for a weapon and found none; they must have fallen off when she was thrown back. She spotted her sensei off down the street fighting with the thing that had killed her teammates. She backed up into a corner unsure of what she could do; after all she doubted that Genjutsu would work on these things. Just as she was sure she was about to die a large amount of noise erupted from the other side of the street. Kurenai looked and spotted a guy about her age and a woman with white hair running down the street holding things that she had never seen in her life. Whatever they were, they were exploding at the tips sending out something that seemed to kill the smaller creatures at alarmingly fast rates. Pretty soon they had reached her and stood around her while they held back the creatures surrounding her.

"Are you ok?" The guy asked her.

"Fine." She said trying to stand but suddenly noticed a pain on her side dropping her once more to the floor. "Oww." She whimpered once again on the ground. Siege was about to turn and help her up when he noticed the other fight going on down the street. It was not pretty, the woman battling with that monster was tiring fast, as she launched attack after attack at the thing using things like fire and lightning. Whoever this woman was she was good, but good or not she was getting tired and her opponent was not.

"Damn. Christie take care of things here I'm going to go help the other one." He told her. Quickly handing her his P90 he reached into his pockets and gave her the rest of his ammunition. "Here take these, I'll be back." He told her then ran to the creature taking out his gunblade.

When he got close he witnessed the thing finally land a hit on the woman. It was painful; she went hurdling towards a house, crashed right through the wall and ended up somewhere inside. Siege leaped and sung down with the blade, only to have it intercepted by the monsters own sword. It turned around still holding back Siege's blade.

"Well do you have a name ugly?" Siege said as he struggled to keep the things blade from over powering him. It snorted angrily and reached out with a kick aimed at his chest. Siege leaped away in time and missed getting hit.

"So am I right in assuming that other ugly son of a bitch called you here huh." Siege taunted it wanting to try to see if it could talk. It only looked more pissed.

"So I'm right, you were called here you piece of shit, well… I don't know what you are or where you came from but I'm sending you back." Siege charged up his blade with his mitochondria power and readied himself as the thing held its blade high and charged. Siege concentrated the mitochondria in his body flooding his system with adrenalin. Able to see things more slowly Siege ducked under the swing and slashed sideways across the things stomach. They moved away from each other. Siege noticed there was barley any damage done to it.

"So still not going to tell me what the fuck you are?" Siege said desperately trying to think of how to kill it. The creature seamed to ready itself then opened its mouth.

"We… are… TWILIGHT!" It yelled then charged. Siege smirked lowered his gunblade and reached out his hand palm opened.

"Yah well hello mister twilight." He said and used his plasma attack detonating the air molecules surrounding the monster and sending it hurdling backwards. Knowing without out a doubt what to do next Siege once again charged his gunblade up but his time added that 'other' power to it. The blade lit up brightly as Siege moved at speeds he had never had before and quickly reached the monster as it fell. In one quick thrust Siege pierced the blade downwards and skewered the monster into the ground with the blade. The monster still hanging on tried to remove itself from the ground. Siege placed a foot on its chest and upholstered his magnum revolver. Charged it with the energy as he had done once before Siege aimed at it and fired straight into his head. With a last gurgle of blood spilling out of its mouth it died.

"You ok?" Christie asked walking up to him. Siege turned around putting back his magnum.

"Yah I'm ok. How about the girl?" He asked.

"Banged up pretty good, she's back there." Christie pointed towards a partially collapsed house were the girl was clearing away debris.

"We better go help I think she knows that other woman." Siege said as the two went over to help.

"Right, so that thing say anything?" Christie said motioning back to the dead creature that was now lying in the street with a gunblade in its stomach and hole in its head.

"Apparently they are called Twilight." He told her.

"Twilight huh…well did it say anything about how we can get home?" she said sarcastically.

"Oh don't worry about that, I think I have a pretty good idea on how to do just that." Siege told her as they moved to help the young girl save her sensei. All around the village people once again came out of hiding and started to try to piece back together what had been broken and destroyed. Today would mark the first day of a great struggle for the lively hood of not just a single people, but of existence itself. For the Twilight were once again emerging from darkness of history ready to lay waste to anything that got in their way…

To be continued…

Alright chapter 4 is done and this fic should now be in the Naruto section of this site.

Though Siege and Christie have arrived quite a few years before the main plot of Naruto begins there are still many more things up ahead so look forward to that.

I had Mikoto Uchiha be Kurenai's sensei on a whim. I have a sort of age database about the Naruto characters during certain times, and at this time when Kurenai is around twelve Mikoto should be around twenty five and when Kakashi was a sensei he was only twenty seven so the dates more or less match up, and at this point Itachi is only three.
