A note about A Galaxy Far Away: I actually haven't started working on it yet, but, I do promise you, the fic is on its way, be patient. Also, what do you think of the shinobi using guns? Is it suitable? Even if they do use gun(jutsu?)s, the usage of taijutsu, ninjutsu, and genjutsu, plus weapons fighting will still remain. And since the end of Avatar, and with Naruto's wind affinity, what do you think of mild elemental bending?
Now, back to….
Chapter 10: Worm Attack
While the prospect of eating lunch sounds appealing to the two hungry teenagers, the house seems a bit less livelier without the presence of their somewhat excitable ninja bodyguard. However, one thing never fails, the wonder that is mother's homemade spaghetti. Hermione's mom had come home for her lunch break at the Granger's family dentistry. Antony rarely receives assignments in defend of the British Crown, so his cover as a dentist took up much of the day, except when diabolical fiends need defeating, so he stayed behind to keep the clinic open while the other dentists and his wife could have a lunch break. It was his subtle way of paying back the times that he had to suddenly "disappear."
"Wow, Mrs. Granger! I think I've fallen in love with your spaghetti!" Harry savored the rich flavor of Ophelia's spaghetti, "I really should get the recipe for this." He added. He took a bite of the slice of French bread at his side as he dug in for more. The lunch was perfect, Ophelia's special spaghetti with French bread, some butter if needed, orange juice, and of course, to Harry's delight, treacle tart. The lunch was accompanied by a sunny afternoon, so they had taken to eating out in the backyard patio.
"Mum is quite efficient in making Italian food, she said she got it from an old boyfriend, but I just think she's being modest. Grandmum's told stories of how she learned to cook before she could walk." Hermione said in between bites. The comment made Harry laugh and her mom blushed in embarrassment.
"Oh hush you, or no more spaghetti." Ophelia chided, making the two teenagers shut up and keep eating.
Yes, nothing could ruin this perfect afternoon. However, as with all things associated with Harry Potter, good things usually go bad….
Somewhere else….
The trio of warriors emerged from the portal into what seems to be a high-tech facility, however, the image that had greeted them did not seem pleasing.
"What? What…happened here?" Arata stared at the destruction in front of them.
Wires crackled as panels were ripped out, signs of acid smoked before them. Men in armor similar to Tendou's were groaning in pain as medical help rushed from wounded to wounded, Naruto approached the broken cage in front of him and whistled, "Some piece of work you got here." He then walked over to the security station as the other two surveyed the destruction. He watched as one of the Worms being herded towards the cage suddenly spit acid at the lock, causing the unprotected electronic lock to melt and freeing the Worms. "Fucking major design flaw if you ask me." Naruto grumbled at the defective lock design. He produced a card from within his cloak and inserted it into the computer, the display featured;
Uzumaki Naruto….accessing…..Password? …..accessing…….Maximum Clearance granted. Security Upgrade Y/N?
Upgrade reason?
However, just before he typed the complaint and reason, he suddenly got a message from one of his contacts back in Harry's universe,
Worms converging in Granger Residence, their primary target seems to be your charge.
Rush back immediately! Sending in Yaguruma, Kamen Rider Kick Hopper, he may not be able to hold on for long.
"Oh great, they send in the creepy twitchy one…." He was interrupted from his musings as he dodged acid that flew towards him. "Ah shit…." He pulled out his sword to cut apart the Worm that crashed through the security room's window. The dissipated Worm was followed by several more as the so-called medics revealed themselves to be Worms. "Ah shit….."
Outside the room, Tendou, Arata, and several riders who were still capable of fighting found themselves fighting more Worms in what seems to be an ambush.
Arata fired his shoulder cannons, while in his armored or masked form, and next to him, Tendou "Cast Offed" into his agile rider form and calmly began fighting. All the other riders joined the fight as well, protecting the wounded.
"Naruto!" Tendou called out, "the Worms are rushing through the portal, you must return back!" Tendou dodged a swipe and countered with a swift kick to a worm's stomach, knocking it back. "We will handle things here." Naruto jumped down next to Tendou, his sword green with Worm blood, "Will you all be alright?"
No one could tell from the mask, but Tendou smirked, "Heh, it will take more than a few minions to bring down the one who walks the path of heaven."
"Besides," Arata added, "those two kids can't possibly hold back an army."
"Yeah, you're right." Naruto sliced a worm in half and ran towards another portal room, this current one's too overcrowded to reach the portal in time. "I can only hope I'm not too late."
xxxxxxx
Back in Granger residence… a few minutes ago,
"Ah, that was satisfying." Harry sighed in content, "Thanks for the wonderful food Mrs. Granger."
"Oh don't mention it, it's just food…." Ophelia said.
"Well, I think it's the-" Hermione was cut off as a loud crash was heard, the fence was broken by Worms.
"Bloody hell! It's those creatures again!" Harry yelled, as he grabbed his sword lying nearby.
"Mum! Get inside!" Hermione pushed her mom through the sliding glass doors. A flash of red in the glass showed Naruto's defense seals that he had placed awhile ago were activated. The two teenagers braced themselves as the Worms charged only to be interrupted by a man clad in black. The Worm in front was kicked back into the other Worms by the man. Harry and Hermione hoped it was Naruto, but, as the man turned, their answer couldn't be more wrong.
The man was dressed in a black, wild, leather cloak that ran all the way down to his feet. His left arm was completely sleeveless, and he was wearing a spiky necklace around his neck. He also had on a black wifebeater shirt and black, baggy leather pants. His right foot had spurs on and seems to have a thicker clothing than his left foot. The man seems to have baggy eyes and a sleepy haze, he seems to have the appearance of an addict, without the addiction. He walked slowly towards the teenagers, gazing at them. The two raised their swords in defense, but the man stopped in front of them and asked,
"Did they laugh at you two too?"
To be continued…..
Again, I sincerely apologize for the delay, my family went back to Philippines to visit relatives, but there was no internet there, and it was overall a huge tiring venture.
Next: Extermination
"Use the TheBee Zecter kid!" a man in a grasshopper motif armor yelled as he kicked away another Worm.
"But…"
"USE IT!!"
The two teenagers cried out, "HENSHIN!"
"It's hopeless…." Harry whispered as he knelt protectively over the unconscious Hermione
"Heh, I may never seen the light in my darkness…. I failed you Aibo…." The grasshopper man known as Yaguruma said.
A motorcycle sound was heard and the driver had a furious face.
Naruto, eyes blaring red, whiskers an angry black fuzz, fangs baring, he yelled as he approached the army of Worms, "SEE WHY I'M KNOWN AS THE CRIMSON WIND!!" he drew out a sword, but this time, it was different, the blade had a red malicious aura and with 9 silver chains wrapped around it. "DEMON MAELSTROM!"
A red flash in the sky was seen from all the way to London.
