Part dos of the NaruHinaLorzs fight. Not as long as I'd like it, but I figured you'd want a taste of it before I completely finished it.

On another note, I need to bring this up: Remember that little 'guess the phrase' contest I put forward last chapter? Well, the only person to get it right ALSO guessed it anonymously, leaving me with absolutely no way of contacting him/her.

The answer was the quote, "I obey!" It is repeated by the Daleks from the show 'Doctor Who'. So, sir or madam who correctly answered that, get a dadgum account and give me something! You know who you are!!!! I hate doing this, but I've gotta move forward, and I have to do it with or without your (fantastic) suggestion!

Anyways, on with the next chapter.

Usual disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of its properties. What a damn shame.

Also: Language Warning! Not for the kids! Not that they'll listen!


"'Let's do this'?" Naruto repeated Lorsvall's declaration with a laugh tugging at his lips. "Are you kidding?! Look around you!" He shot his arms to the sides to emphasize the large numbers of his remaining red-eye troops. "You couldn't even take me down with a werewolf and her personal army! What makes you think you can take all of us on your own?!"

Lorsvall chuckled with a maniacal smile. "You really think I came alone? You have a lot to learn." He turned back and to the side so he could address someone behind him while still facing the red-eyed army. "Form up!!"

The screen of dust that made the inner city ghostly and empty suddenly shifted without letting up to reveal its contents. A muted rhythmic sound that gradually climbed the audible ladder reached the ears of the blonde and everyone in his company. "What did he just do?" he wondered.

Hinata, however, immediately saw what was in store for them. Her Byakugan eyes easily pierced through the thick dust and smoke, clearly unveiling the incredible mass of chakra steadily marching forward. Her eyes went wide as she witnessed the individual chakra coils overlapping to form a seemingly solid wall of energy.

"Hinata, what is it?" Uzi whispered to her when he noticed the concern in her lavender eyes. "What do you see?"

"It looks like…" she struggled to think of a comparison. Failing that, she went with the standard; "I'm not sure…"

The blonde easterner's question was soon answered as the advancing form parted the natural smokescreen and the sounds of marching were no longer muffled. As the dust settled in the formation's wake, wave after wave of soldiers marching in perfect straight lines could be seen stretching for miles. They didn't even leave small gaps in the line when confronted with overturned barricades, as any soldier who approached an obstacle would quicken or slow his pace to keep the line unbroken as he scaled the obstruction.

The appearance of the troops alone was quite jarring. Each soldier hefted a massive black shield that sported sharp spikes and a dull red 'X' sloppily painted on the front. Hinata could easily peer through the shields and glance at the troops' all black uniforms. Each and every opponent wore the exact same thing: a dark steel helmet over an ebony face mask and dark shafts of steel that almost completely covered the limbs and torso over their black clothes.

The only distinguishable feature among the black troops was also the only feature visible to anyone without the advanced vision of the Hyuuga's bloodline: their weaponry. Every soldier held a weapon in his right hand ranging from large caliber pistols to seemingly non-portable miniguns. Every ranged tool of war also had something unusual about it as well: elongated sharpened rods bolted to the front, protruding over their respective barrels.

Every eye went wide as the dark formation stomped the ground in perfect tandem. Something was unnatural about the endless battalion; their cooperation and movements was machinelike, mechanical. Even red-eyes would have difficulties pulling off a feat like this.

"Personal army?!" Naruto weakly taunted the silver-for-eyed General.

"Of course! Now let's go! All troops fire at will!!"

The instant Lorsvall's mouth closed, the air was filled with gunfire. Uzi threw his nine energy tails in front of him to create a domelike barrier while Hinata dashed behind him and the red-eyes ran for cover. Sadly, most of the eastern specialists already out in the open when the firefight began were instantly killed. Pockets of the specialist soldiers were trapped in their cover, unable to take any action whatsoever without fear of immediate death.

"Lord Uzi!" yelled an Agende Vhansin who held herself flat against the ground, "If we can get to their front line, we can take 'em down!"

"You're not charging them!" He ordered the young woman as his red eyes flared. "Everyone! Wait for most of them to reload!"

After a few more seconds, or minutes; it was hard to tell, there was a slight lull in the enemy fire as their weapons clicked against empty magazines. The red-eyes picked up on this and began pumping energy into their bullets, firing on the massive shields and occasionally hitting a soldier hiding behind his steel barricade.

Hinata saw the bullets ricochet harmlessly off the mobile metal bumpers and shafts of body armor. She frowned when her Byakugan detected the chakra in the red-eyes' projectiles suddenly disappearing into the shields without transferring their force. "Something's wrong," she leaned forward and informed the blonde red-eye of her concern.

"What is it…"

"Shit! Get down!" she shouted more for the other red-eyes than the easterner in front of her. She detected a massive energy spike when the spent bullets' chakra suddenly reappeared elsewhere.

The black troops who shouldered the brunt of the red-eyed onslaught stood stoically as the thin, lengthy spikes welded to their guns started sparking. The colorful sparks grew in intensity and, with a violent flash, shot out in a chaotic bolt of energy against the western specialists.

Red-eyes who were partially exposed and struck by the flashy beams screamed in pain as the redirected energy brutally coursed through their bodies before dropping to the ground in charred heaps.

Uzi's eyes went wide as he witnessed the newest attack. He peered at his smoking comrades then back at the soldiers donned in black. "Hinata," he addressed her without diverting his gaze, "Did that energy come from their shields?"

"Yeah," she nodded.

"Son of a bitch…" he cursed.

"That's…" the female Agende Vhansin glued to the ground came to the same conclusion. "That's my family's energy ink! Those fuckers stole it and painted it on!"

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

Lorsvall stood proudly on his massive black walker viewing the battle below. He laughed openly when his special troops launched the red-eyes' energy attacks back at them. After seeing Uzi's frustrated reaction, he decided to nip it in the bud.

"You like my dark battalion, Uzi?!" he taunted. "I know how tough you red-eyes are, so I figured a few hundred thousand of these boys outta at least put up a decent fight!"

Naruto glared at his ocular silver orbs. "You shithead!!" he growled in murderous irritation. He immediately charged forward, tails disrupting the perfect formation of the black soldiers. As predicted, he had trouble clearing a path through the tight formation.

Lorsvall decided it was time for him to make his own move. His walker reacted to his wishes and came to life, auto turrets raining hot lead on the red-eyes below. The spider-like war machine turned to the side and began moving down the line, main cannon charging as the contained liquid metal spun rapidly around the pulse gun. The large weapon's turret aimed it at a gaggle of backed up enemy tanks and vehicles and let loose a silvery beam that wrenched everything in its path to pieces.

"You bastard!!" yelled a familiar hoarse voice. The red-headed General turned with a grin towards the blonde red-eye as the easterner flew through the air towards him.

The western specialist leapt off the walker while loosing his strange weapons from their straps. As he arced through the air, he brought his odd rifles to bear and inserted his energy into the miniature generators of his guns, firing sharpened globs of pure silver at the blonde.

Uzi saw the burning slivers of shiny energy flying towards him, so he plunged his tails into a crease in the armor of the walker and shoved himself out of the way. He pulled his submachine gun from its holster, stuck its attached needle into the circular implant of his left wrist and fed ample amounts of energy into his bullets. His rounds impacted with Lorsvall's and cancelled the shots out with intense light. The few projectiles that made it to the crazed General were harmlessly knocked from the air by liquid silver orbs that formed at his enemy's back and arced sharply around him to connect with the flying hot metal.

The blonde landed on the roof of a building and emptied the rest of his clip into the descending western specialist. As soon as the firing pin clicked against the empty chamber, he absorbed a portion of a tail into his implant and let loose a barrage of sharpened energy from his tattooed hand. He could see more metal orbs forming behind his opponent and curve around with wedged ferocity, but knew he couldn't intercept them all…

Suddenly, Lorsvall disappeared in a flash of sharpened silver that sped though the air with smooth, angular grace and absolute randomness. The non-corporeal blade of metallic energy spiraled towards him and threatened to corkscrew Uzi if he didn't dive out of the way in time.

The blonde came out of his roll with alert eyes. He instinctively formed several energy whips around his right arm and flung them towards the western specialist when he reformed from the airborne silver. The ocular orbed man cracked his snakelike smile and unloaded a barrage of metallic projectiles at him, throwing the chords of chakra off while continuing straight towards him…

Until several incredibly loud shots rang out from behind Naruto and thumb sized projectiles loaded with energy knocked the silver rounds from the air. Both turned to see Hinata leaning over the edge of the structure, massive gun barrel smoking. She scaled the roof while slamming another clip into the handheld cannon and firing another chakra laden salvo at the General.

The enemy westerner dodged to his left, evading bullets by falling into his sharpened silver chakra and dodging them instantaneously. The Hyuuga didn't let up, though, and used up three entire magazines driving the enemy commander off the roof of the building while neutralizing his counterattacks.

Lorsvall, upon running out of rooftop, spiraled into his silver energy and shot upwards to resume his position on his walker. The massive war machine began to turn around, main energy cannon spinning while it charged.

"So," Naruto nudged the blue-haired woman, "What do you see?"

"His chakra's really weird. It's solid…"

"Most specialists use their energy to make something solid."

"That's not it," she refuted, Byakugan firmly fixed on their target several blocks away. "His chakra is solid. That silver stuff is his raw energy…"

"Oh," the blonde conceded as the walker's rotating main gun began to open. "Then this could be bad…"

The eastern duo launched themselves from the roof into the floor of a neighboring building when the walker's main cannon discharged a mass of silver energy and vaporized the structure.

"Very bad…"


I better save this and upload it before the power goes out... stormin' like a mofo out there...

Peace!
