Ranger24: Here I get to show my abilty to describe the goreist of scenes! And also make an explosion seem really cool.
Chapter 17: Reveltation at Yazuac.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Although they had been able to partiaily refill their water bottles during the storm they drank the last of their water that morning.
Naruto: I hope your right about the town being just ahead or we'll be in trouble.
He stuffed his empty canteen into his pack.
Ranger: Don't worry I've been this way more than once. Yazuac will be there we should make it before mid day.
Naruto: How can you be sure? Everything looks exactly the same out here.
Ranger: Because I am guided by the stars and sun. They will no lead us a stray.
They set out for an hour. But it wasn't until then that Cortana sighted the town but it was an hour more before Naruto and Ranger spotted the town as a large group of brown bumps on the horizen. There was a line of blue running near it.
Ranger: The Ninor river its the only source of water on this side of the plains.
Naruto: What about Cortana?
Ranger thought for a moment then spoke.
Ranger: Tell her to hide on the other side of town.
Naruto told her but she wasn't to happy about it.
Cortana: I don't like it. This is iritating having to hide all of the time like a criminal.
Naruto: You know what would happen if we were discovered?
She sighed and drew off into the air. They drew closer to the town egear for the food and drink that awaited for them. But when they got to the towns edge nothing was there bu tthe buildings. They stoped only twenty feet from the entrrance to the town. The streets were empty and the houses dark.
Naruto: There aren't any dogs barking.
Ranger: Yes.
Naruto: Dosen't mean anything though.
Ranger: No.
Naruto felt really uncomfortable.
Naruto: Some one should have seen us by now.
Ranger: Yes.
Naruto: Then why dosen't anyone come out?
Ranger glance at the sun.
Ranger: Could be afraid.
Naruto: Could be.
He glanced about caution creeping into his limbs.
Naruto: Lets get out of here.
Ranger: We need proveisions and water.
Naruto: Theres the Ninior.
Ranger: Still need provisions.
Naruto: True.
His discomfort did not abait however.
Naruto: Do we go in?
Ranger: Yes but not like fools. This is the main entrance to Yuzauc. If there is an ambush it will be here.
Naruto: Around to the side then?
Ranger: Yes.
He drew his sword from his sheath. Naruto strung his bow. They rode in silence around to the side of Yazuac and then started to make their way into the town. The detour however wasn't really helping Naruto's bad feelings. The houses they passed had broken windows and doors. Then they reached the city square and Naruto stomach cunvulsed and Ranger cursed.
Naruto: God in heaven.
Before them in the center of Yazuac was a mountain of piled corpses. Many of the bodies were smoking or had arrows sticking out of them. Blood pooled around the massive pile. Husbands sheided their wives whos hands still clutched their now dead children. Lovers traped in deaths cold embrace from trying to protect one another from the attackers but worst of all worse then all of the gore and slaughter was the barbed spear in the center of the pile impaling the body of a baby.
Naruto felt tears growing in his eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but ended up throwing up over the side of Al. Ranger patted him on the back as he pushed himself into the saddle. Rangers voice was quite but kindly.
Ranger: Are you all right?
Naruto: Yes.
Ranger: Do you want to wait out side Yazuac?
Naruto: No I'll stay.
He gazed out at the corpses as a crow hit the babies cropse and started trying to eat the corpse.
Naruto: Oh no you don't!
He drew and knocked an arrow and shot the crow. I a sqwake and a puff of the crows fell dead.
Naruto: Who could have done...
He couldn't bring himself to say anything more but Ranger got the gist.
Ranger: Those who love the pain, suffering, and torment of others. They were many disquies and go by many names but there is only one true name for them. Evil. There is no understanding it. All we can do his pity and honor the victims.
He dismounted and scanned the ground about the pile.
Ranger: The Ecotplasmers have passed through here. But they weren't the ones who did this. This...
He motioned to the corpses.
Ranger: Is Sanghelli work. The spear is of their make. Its odd though. They would need a large force to sack a whole town I've only heard of two ocassions when they've...
He paused to examine a track then rose to his feet cursing! He ran back to Demonwing and mounted him.
Ranger: Ride! There are still Sangheli here!
He dug in his spurs and they rode off Naruto knocking another arrow eyes darting from left to right. As they neared the edge of Yazuac Naruto's plam tingled but he reisited the urge to scratch it. Then
WHAM!!
A gaint fist smashed him out of the saddle! He fell to the ground and looked up. Towering over him fangs bared, eyes yellow, was a sanghelli! It wore blue armor a was carrying a strange sword and a round sheild that was straped to its arm.
Ranger turned around and tried to come back to help but a second Sanghelli appeared this one with a pole axe! He swung at the sanghelli who blocked his blow!
Ranger: Run you fool!
Naruto didn't need telling twice! Grabbing his bow and ducking a stroke from the sanghelli's sword he ran for his life! The sanghelli followed in hot pursuit! He called to Cortana with his mind but didn't stop running!
He turned around at the the pile of corpses knocked an arrow and fired! The sanghelli brought up its sheild just in time to catch the quivering bolt! The distraction however was enough to give him the chance to slip down an alley and run as fast as he could! The sanghelli came tearing after him!
As he he neared the place where he had left Ranger he could hear the clash of metal on metal! He turned a corner and could see Ranger exchanging fierce blows with his opponent from Demon wings back.
Naruto (Thinking): Where are the rest of the sanghelli? Are these the only two in Yazuac?
As these thoughts left his head heard a smacking sound and Demonwing winneyed! Ranger slumped over his saddle blood pouring down his right arm! The sanghellie raised his weapon for the death blow! A scream broke from Naruto's lips as he tackled the monster, he dug in his rather sharp finger nails and left bloody gashes in the sanghelli's side!
At that moment the second Sanghelli who had been chasing him finall started to catch up! Naruto scrambled to his feet and ran again! That is until he hit a dead end. He whirled around but the sanghelli were already blocking the entrance to the alley. The cursed his brandishing their weapons and the one he had tackled rubbing his bleeding side. Naruto knew right then and there that he was friging screwed.
At the thought of death at the hands of these monsters his mind turned to the thought of the villagers and their fate. Of a young child who would never grow to adult hood and the dozens of others who would never live again. At the idea of their fate a feirce power grew within him! He felt as though every fiber in his being was roaring at him! As if his enitre being was rebeling against the fact of death! That he would cease to exist!
He raised his bow all fear gone. He knocked an arrow and drew back the string. The sanghelli laughed and raised their sheilds. Naruto pulled the string back to his knose tip. The power built up to a throbbing height! He felt as though if he didn't release it he would burst from the pressure! As he released the arrow, a word unbidden came to his lips and he shouted at the top of his lungs!
Naruto: BRISINGR!!!!!!
The arrow tip glowed bright blue and went straight through the sheild and into the sanghelli with the axe's head and then...
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Sanghelli exploded!
Naruto: SON OF A BITCH!!!
A massive blue shock wave hit the houses around him but disapated and when it hit him the energy just vanished. He lowered his bow and looked at his right palm. The gedwey Ignasi was burning bright silver on his hand. Then as it dulled a wave of exhuastion struck him. He felt as though he hadn't eaten in days. He slumped back against the wall of a house and sat there in silence staring at the burning corpses of the two sanghelli.
